Traditional air curtain machines for motorcycle wash lines have the following problems:

[0003] Functional separation: Traditional systems require two sets of equipment to realize the functions of air curtain and hot air curtain respectively, for drying water stains and drying the car body.

[0004] Straight air outlet: Traditional systems use a straight air outlet method, which works well near the air outlet, but the wind speed and air pressure will drop significantly at locations far from the air outlet, making it difficult to achieve the ideal purging effect.

[0005] Cost input: The overall investment in the production cost, material cost, transportation cost, etc. of the two systems is relatively large. The two systems require different equipment and technical support, which increases the complexity of equipment manufacturing and installation. For example, the laying and control of circuits require double the investment. These factors combined lead to an increase in the overall cost of the product, and at the same time increase the burden on manufacturers and users.

[0006] Equipment durability: The shell of the traditional system is made of ordinary cold-rolled steel plate with electrostatic spraying. This surface treatment method is prone to corrosion when the equipment is used in a humid environment for a long time, which further increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance and reduces the service life of the equipment.

The natural air unit is responsible for initially blowing off large water droplets from the vehicle body, while the hot air unit focuses on the evaporation and drying of residual moisture. The two work together to achieve a better drying effect.

[0032] See Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in the embodiments of this utility model, both the hot air outlet 4 and the natural air outlet 5 are elongated structures that bulge forward and extend along the height direction. Furthermore, both the hot air outlet 4 and the natural air outlet 5 are conical structures that gradually taper along the air outlet direction.

[0033] See Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the hot air outlet 4 is located near the outer edge of the hot air chamber 15; a guide plate I 13 is obliquely arranged inside the hot air chamber 15 near the hot air outlet 4, and the guide plate I 13 guides the hot air in the hot air chamber 15 obliquely to the hot air outlet 4, thereby forming an external oblique air outlet duct. The natural air outlet 5 is located near the outer edge of the air cavity 17; a guide plate II 22 is obliquely arranged inside the air cavity 17 near the natural air outlet 5, and the guide plate II 22 guides the natural air in the air cavity 17 obliquely to the natural air outlet 5, thereby forming another external oblique air outlet duct.

[0034] See Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a centrifugal fan fixing plate I11 is provided between the equipment compartment I7 and the hot air chamber 15. Multiple centrifugal fans I10 are installed on the centrifugal fan fixing plate I11. Each centrifugal fan I10 has an upper guide plate I8 and a lower guide plate I9 on the upper and lower sides of its air outlet, and the lower guide plate I9 is ​​inclined upward.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the heating module is a steel pipe radiator 14. The top of the steel pipe radiator 14 is provided with a water inlet 1 and a water outlet 2, and the bottom of the steel pipe radiator 14 is provided with a drain pipe 12. The air entering the hot air chamber 15 is heated after passing through the steel pipe radiator 14 to form hot air, which is then ejected at high speed from the hot air outlet 4.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the shell 3 is made of galvanized steel sheet coated with marine anti-corrosion paint. To address the problem of corrosion in equipment used in humid environments for extended periods, the shell 3 of this invention is designed with galvanized steel sheet coated with marine anti-corrosion paint. Firstly, the zinc layer on the surface of the galvanized steel sheet effectively prevents steel oxidation, significantly extending the material's service life. The galvanized steel sheet also has excellent weather resistance and is unaffected by environmental weather conditions, so the shell will not experience mold or dampness. Simultaneously, the surface of the galvanized steel sheet is further coated with marine anti-corrosion paint. This surface treatment further improves the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the shell 3, as marine anti-corrosion paint forms a hard and smooth protective layer. The superior weather resistance of marine paint makes it highly suitable for the high-performance protection requirements of humid environments in car wash lines.

[0039] This invention provides a dual-outlet side-blowing air curtain machine that integrates natural wind and hot air systems into a single device. This integrated design not only simplifies the equipment structure but also significantly improves system coordination and response speed. The natural wind unit is responsible for initially blowing away large water droplets from the vehicle body, while the hot air unit focuses on evaporating and drying residual moisture. Their combined operation achieves superior drying results. Compared to traditional dual-system solutions, this integrated design reduces overall costs by 20%-30%. Specifically, this is reflected in: reducing a separate system to save material costs; the integrated housing reducing manufacturing time; the unified control system simplifying electrical configuration; and single-device transportation and installation saving logistics and construction costs. Maintenance costs are also significantly reduced due to the reduced number of devices.

[0040] This invention employs an externally mounted, angled air outlet with an extended duct. The externally mounted, angled air outlet duct is designed with a 30-45° tilt angle, and the optimal air outlet angle is determined through fluid dynamics optimization calculations. This design achieves: an increase in airflow coverage area of ​​over 35%, effectively expanding the air curtain coverage range; a reduction in wind speed and pressure loss of 20%; and the angled air outlet effectively maintains the impact force of the airflow, thereby improving drying efficiency.

[0041] This utility model provides a dual-outlet side-blowing air curtain machine, which solves the drawbacks of traditional air curtain machines. Through the integrated dual-outlet design, unique air duct configuration and the application of high-performance materials, it significantly improves work efficiency and equipment durability.
