[0002] Car wash machines are machines that use computer-controlled brushes and high-pressure water to automatically clean cars. They can be divided into automatic car wash machines, self-service car wash machines, and coin-operated car wash machines. They are mainly composed of a control system, electrical circuits, air circuits, water circuits, and mechanical structures. Car wash machines are characterized by simple operation, attractive appearance, and minimal damage to car paint, and have been widely used in the automotive service industry in recent years.

[0003] According to patent number 202020560915.9 published on the China Patent Network, this utility model provides a car wash machine component moving system and a car wash machine, relating to the field of car wash machine technology. The car wash machine component moving system includes a component displacement device, a functional component, a detection device, and a controller. The component displacement device is used to drive the functional component to move. The detection device includes a sensor and a detected component. The detected component is arranged parallel to the moving direction of the functional component. The sensor is fixedly arranged relative to the functional component. The sensor is used to feed back a displacement signal to the controller. This solves the technical problem of low position detection accuracy of functional components in existing car wash machines, achieving the technical effect of improving position detection accuracy. The cleaning brush of this car wash machine adopts a fixed position design, which makes it difficult to fully conform to the contour of the car body when facing vehicles of different widths and heights, thus failing to efficiently remove surface stains. Specifically, the car wash machine needs to repeatedly rinse the same area to compensate for insufficient brushing, which not only significantly prolongs the single car wash time but also reduces the overall operating efficiency of the equipment. This design defect weakens the practicality of the car wash machine.

The ends of the movable plates 14 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to an insert plate 15. The end of the insert plate 15 that is far away from the movable plate 14 passes through the mounting plate 5 and extends into the interior of the support plate 3. The outer side of the movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 16. The outer side of the connecting block 16 passes through to the outside of the mounting plate 5 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 17.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the transmission groove 13, the moving plate 14, the insert plate 15, the connecting block 16 and the push plate 17, it is easy for the user to disassemble the support plate 3 and the brush 2, so as to avoid the user being unable to quickly replace the brush 2 after use.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 A friction pad 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the insert plate 15 away from the movable plate 14, and the surface of the friction pad 18 is in contact with the inner wall of the support plate 3.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the friction pad 18, the insertion plate 15 can be in closer contact with the support plate 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the insertion plate 15 and the support plate 3.

[0032] refer to Figure 6 The transmission groove 13 has two guide rods 19 fixedly connected vertically inside. The guide rods 19 pass through the moving plate 14 and are slidably connected to the moving plate 14.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the guide rod 19, the moving plate 14 can be guided to prevent the moving plate 14 from tilting when moving.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 A fixing block 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the traction rod 9, and the bottom of the fixing block 24 contacts the top of the pull plate 10.

[0041] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a fixing block 24, the pull plate 10 can be limited, thus preventing the pull plate 10 from detaching from the traction rod 9.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, start the second motor 7. The rotating rod of the second motor 7 drives the turntable 8 to rotate, the turntable 8 drives the traction rod 9 to rotate, the traction rod 9 pulls the pull plate 10 inward, the pull plate 10 drives the push plate 11 and connecting plate 12 inward, the connecting plate 12 drives the mounting plate 5 inward, and the mounting plate 5 drives the support plate 3 and brush 2 inward. When the brush 2 is close to the car body, start the first motor 4. The output end of the first motor 4 drives the brush 2 to rotate, so that the brush 2 cleans the surface of the car body. After use, reverse the above operation to reset the brush 2. Finally, if the user needs to replace the worn-out brush 2, first press the push plate 17 inward. The push plate 17 drives the connecting block 16 inward, the connecting block 16 drives the moving plate 14 and the insert plate 15 inward, so that the insert plate 15 moves away from the support plate 3. After moving away, the user can remove the support plate 3 from inside the car wash machine 1 to replace the brush 2.

[0043] In summary: This car wash machine with adjustable brush spacing, through the arrangement of the first motor 4, support plate 3, and brush 2, can clean the vehicle surface to prevent incomplete cleaning; through the arrangement of the second motor 7, turntable 8, traction rod 9, dry plate, push plate 11, and connecting plate 12, it can drive the support plate 3 and brush 2 to move, ensuring that the brush 2 can effectively clean the surfaces of different car models; through the arrangement of the mounting plate 5, transmission groove 13, moving plate 14, and insert plate 15, it can limit the movement of the support plate 3. The positioning of the support plate 3 prevents it from detaching from the mounting plate 5 during movement, thus facilitating the adjustment of the brush spacing. This solves the problem of the fixed-position design of the cleaning brushes in the car wash machine, which makes it difficult to fully conform to the contours of the car body when facing vehicles of different widths and heights, and thus cannot efficiently remove surface stains. Specifically, the car wash machine needs to repeatedly rinse the same area to compensate for insufficient brushing, which not only significantly prolongs the single car wash time, but also reduces the overall operating efficiency of the equipment. This design defect weakens the practicality of the car wash machine.
