Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic bus washing line technology, and in particular to a chain tension adjustment device based on a car wash machine conveyor line. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of bus washing machines, they have indeed played a significant role in improving the image of cities. The buses we see on the roads and highways are spotless. However, at bus wash stations, we find that the rearview mirrors of buses are often damaged and the paint is often scratched. This is because the operation of a driveway-type bus wash machine generally involves the machine remaining stationary while the driver slowly drives the bus into the machine for washing. The quality of the washing largely depends on the driver's driving speed (maintaining a speed of 5 km / h). Since it is difficult for the driver to control this speed, it is hard to guarantee the quality of the wash, and abnormal phenomena such as vehicle damage often occur. The same problem often occurs with gantry-type bus wash machines (where the car is driven into a designated position and the machine moves back and forth to wash it) due to the poor parking position of the car. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a chain tension adjustment device based on a car wash machine conveyor line, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A chain tension adjustment device based on a car wash machine conveyor line includes a base, an inlet ramp, and an outlet ramp. The upper surface of the base has an installation groove. A long rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. A combined traction drive sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft. A short rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. A combined traction driven sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the short rotating shaft. A traction chain is overlapped on the outer surfaces of the combined traction drive sprocket and the combined traction driven sprocket. A driven transmission sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft. A transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the back of the base. A support seat is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft. A drive transmission sprocket is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft. A transmission chain is overlapped on the outer surfaces of the drive transmission sprocket and the driven transmission sprocket. An adjustment rod is provided on the inner wall of the front of the support seat. A transmission chain adjustment head is fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment rod. A conveyor platform is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. A connecting seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the conveyor platform. A turntable roller is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat.
[0006] In order to achieve the effect of supporting the long rotating shaft, as a chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line of this utility model, a support block is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft, and a mounting platform is fixedly connected to the back of the base.
[0007] In order to achieve the effect of fixing the servo motor, as the chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line of this utility model, a motor base is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting platform, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor base, and a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.
[0008] In order to restrict the entry of vehicles, the upper surface of the base is fixedly connected to a limit guide rail as the chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line of this utility model.
[0009] To facilitate the entry of buses into the conveyor line, the chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line of this utility model has an inlet ramp fixedly connected to one side of the base, a first inner rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inlet ramp, and a cleaning roller brush rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first inner rod.
[0010] To facilitate the departure of buses from the conveyor line, the chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line of this utility model has an outlet ramp fixedly connected to one side of the base, a second inner rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outlet ramp, a rotating cylinder rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second inner rod, and a wiping sleeve fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This chain tension adjustment device for a car wash conveyor line, through the arrangement of a long rotating shaft, a combined traction drive sprocket, a short rotating shaft, a combined traction driven sprocket, a traction chain belt, a driven transmission sprocket, a support base, a transmission shaft, a drive transmission sprocket, a transmission chain belt, an adjusting rod, a transmission chain adjusting head, a dial roller, and a conveyor platform, allows for adjustment of the chain tension before the conveyor line is put into use. Before use, rotating the adjusting rod causes the transmission chain adjusting head to rotate, lifting the transmission chain belt at one point. After the conveyor line is put into use, the driver slowly drives the bus to be washed along the inlet ramp into the device. Once the bus enters the conveyor platform, the driver turns off the engine, puts the bus in neutral, and does not brake. The pulley rollers mounted on the traction chain then move the front wheels of the bus forward on the conveyor platform. The limit rails restrict the bus's movement within a specified range, allowing the washing device to scrub the bus. After the front wheels are pulled off the conveyor platform by the pulley rollers, the rear pulley rollers will move the rear wheels forward until the rear wheels are pulled off the platform. The washing process is then complete, and the driver drives the bus away. This automatic and uniform speed control prevents frequent damage to the vehicle during the washing process.
[0013] 2. The chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line, through the setting of the inlet inclined platform, the first inner rod, the cleaning roller brush, the outlet inclined platform, the second inner rod, the rotating drum and the wiping sleeve, the vehicle enters the conveyor line from the inlet inclined platform. When entering, the floating dust and impurities on the wheels are brushed off by the roller brush. When the car is washed and leaves from the outlet inclined platform, the wiping sleeve wipes off the water droplets on the wheels, which speeds up the drying speed of the wheels.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] like Figure 1-8As shown, the chain tension adjustment device based on the car wash machine conveyor line includes a base 1, an inlet ramp 23, and an outlet ramp 26. The upper surface of the base 1 has an installation groove 2. A long rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 2. A combined traction drive sprocket 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft 3. A short rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 2. A combined traction driven sprocket 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the short rotating shaft 5. A traction chain belt 7 overlaps the outer surfaces of the combined traction drive sprocket 4 and the combined traction driven sprocket 6. A driven transmission sprocket 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft 3. A drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the back of seat 1. A support seat 9 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft 10. An active drive sprocket 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drive shaft 10. A drive chain belt 12 overlaps the outer surfaces of the active drive sprocket 11 and the passive drive sprocket 8. An adjusting rod 13 is provided on the inner wall of the front of the support seat 9. A drive chain adjusting head 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting rod 13. A conveyor platform 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. A connecting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the conveyor platform 17. A turntable roller 16 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat 15.
[0026] In practical use, the conveyor line consists of a long rotating shaft 3, a combined traction drive sprocket 4, a short rotating shaft 5, a combined traction driven sprocket 6, a traction chain belt 7, a driven transmission sprocket 8, a support base 9, a transmission shaft 10, a drive transmission sprocket 11, a transmission chain belt 12, an adjusting rod 13, a transmission chain adjusting head 14, a deflector roller 16, and a conveyor platform 17. The conveyor line comprises a transmission assembly, a chain adjusting assembly, a deflector roller assembly, and a conveyor platform 17. The transmission assembly consists of multiple sprockets and multiple chain belts, and the chain adjusting assembly consists of an adjusting rod 13 and a transmission chain. The conveyor line consists of an adjusting head 14 and an adjusting rod 13, which can be bolted for easy installation and rotation adjustment of the adjusting head 14. Before the conveyor line is put into use, the adjusting rod 13 can be rotated to rotate the adjusting head 14, lifting the conveyor chain belt 12 to adjust the tension of the chain belt. After the conveyor line is put into use, the servo motor 21 is started, causing the drive shaft 10 to rotate. The active drive sprocket 11 on the shaft rotates accordingly, and under the drive of the drive chain belt 12, the passive drive sprocket 8 and the long rotating shaft 3 rotate. The combined traction drive sprocket 4 rotates together with the long shaft 3, and under the drive of the traction chain belt 7, it causes the combined traction driven sprocket 6 and the short shaft 5 to rotate. Then, the connecting seat 15 and the deflector roller 16, which are fixed on the two traction chains 7, move around the conveyor platform 17 with the traction chains 7, and the deflector roller 16 can rotate on the connecting seat 15. The driver slowly drives the bus to be washed along the entrance ramp 23 into the device and onto the conveyor platform 17. At this time, the driver turns off the engine, puts the bus in neutral, and does not brake. The deflector roller 16, mounted on the traction chain belt 7, causes the front wheels of the bus to roll forward on the conveyor platform 17. The limit guide rail 22 restricts the bus's movement within a specified range, allowing the cleaning device to wash the bus. After the front wheels are deflected off the conveyor platform 17 by the deflector roller 16, the rear deflector roller 16 will continue to deflect the rear wheels forward until the rear wheels are deflected off the conveyor platform 17. The car wash is then complete, and the driver drives the bus away. This allows for automatic and uniform speed control of the vehicle's movement during the car wash, avoiding frequent abnormal phenomena that could damage the vehicle.
[0027] In this embodiment, a support block 18 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the long rotating shaft 3, and a mounting platform 19 is fixedly connected to the back of the base 1.
[0028] In practical use, the long rotating shaft 3 is supported by the support block 18.
[0029] In this embodiment, a motor base 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting platform 19, a servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor base 20, and a drive shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 21.
[0030] In practical use, the servo motor 21 is fixed by setting the motor mount 20.
[0031] In this embodiment, a limiting guide rail 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1.
[0032] In practical use, the position of the vehicle is restricted by the setting of the limit guide rail 22.
[0033] In this embodiment, an inlet ramp 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1, a first inner rod 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inlet ramp 23, and a cleaning roller brush 25 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first inner rod 24.
[0034] In practical use, the installation of the imported ramp 23 facilitates the entry of buses into the conveyor line.
[0035] In this embodiment, an outlet ramp 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1, a second inner rod 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outlet ramp 26, a rotating cylinder 28 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second inner rod 27, and a wiping sleeve 29 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 28.
[0036] In practical use, the exit ramp 26 facilitates the departure of buses from the conveyor line.
[0037] Working principle: Before the conveyor line is put into use, the adjusting rod 13 can be rotated to rotate the transmission chain adjusting head 14, lifting the transmission chain belt 12 to adjust the tension of the chain belt. After the conveyor line is put into use, the servo motor 21 is started, causing the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. The active transmission sprocket 11 on the shaft rotates accordingly, and under the drive of the transmission chain belt 12, the passive transmission sprocket 8 and the long rotating shaft 3 rotate. At this time, the combined traction active sprocket 4 rotates together with the long rotating shaft 3, and under the drive of the traction chain belt 7, the combined traction passive sprocket 6 and the short rotating shaft 5 rotate. Then, the connecting seat 15 and the turntable roller 16 fixed on the two traction chain belts 7 rotate around the conveyor platform 1. 7. As the traction chain 7 moves and the deflector roller 16 can rotate on the connecting seat 15, the driver slowly drives the bus to be washed along the inlet ramp 23 into the device and onto the conveyor platform 17. At this time, the driver turns off the engine, puts the bus in neutral, and does not brake. The deflector roller 16 installed on the traction chain 7 drives the front wheels of the bus to roll forward on the conveyor platform 17. The limit guide rail 22 restricts the bus from moving within a specified range, allowing the washing device to brush the bus. After the front wheels are pushed out of the conveyor platform 17 by the deflector roller 16, the rear deflector roller 16 will drive the rear wheels to continue moving forward until the rear wheels are pushed out of the conveyor platform 17. The car wash is then complete, and the driver drives the bus away.
