Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car wash machine technology, specifically to a vertical brush and water spray structure assembly for a car wash machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automatic car wash machines typically employ spray systems installed on multiple locations such as the roof and sides of the vehicle to achieve comprehensive cleaning. This cleaning solution requires multiple spray nozzles, complex piping, and control components, resulting in a cumbersome hardware layout, increased manufacturing costs, and installation difficulty. Maintenance also requires individual troubleshooting, further increasing costs. Furthermore, because the spray nozzles are fixed in position, they cannot automatically adjust the cleaning angle and position according to the vehicle's height and contours. Cleaning different car models necessitates vehicle movement or multiple spray nozzles working in tandem, leading to a complex operation process and blind spots, making it difficult to meet the demands for efficient and precise cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical brush and water spray structure component for a car wash machine that addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies. This component can achieve flexible and efficient cleaning of the entire vehicle body using a single set of nozzles.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A car wash machine vertical brush and water spray structure assembly includes a vertical brush, which is installed at the lower end of a vertical brush tube. The vertical brush tube is rotatably mounted on a trolley via bearings. The trolley can move along the length of the car along the gantry frame or along the width of the car on the gantry frame. The vertical brush tube consists of an inner tube and an outer tube, with the inner tube fitted inside the outer tube. The upper section of the outer tube and the upper end of the inner tube are rotatably mounted on the trolley via bearings. The lower end of the inner tube extends from the bearing center hole at the bottom of the outer tube and connects to a bent inner tube extension tube. The other end of the inner tube extension tube is mounted on the outer tube via a bearing. A slide rail for the nozzle to move up and down is installed on one side of the vertical section of the inner tube extension tube. The two ends of the slide rail are fixed to the vertical section of the inner tube extension tube. The nozzle is connected to a water pipe and a motor is installed on the nozzle. A PLC controller controls the rotation of the inner tube and outer tube and the up and down movement of the nozzle.

[0005] Furthermore, a gear is installed at the upper end of the inner tube, and the inner tube is connected to the reducer through gear transmission. The reducer is connected to motor A, and motor A is controlled by a PLC controller.

[0006] Furthermore, a pulley is installed on the outer tube, and the outer tube is connected to a reducer via a belt drive device. The reducer is connected to motor B, and motor B is controlled by a PLC controller.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer tube is mounted on the trolley via upper and lower bearings.

[0008] Furthermore, the slide rail is divided into upper and lower sections by a mounting bracket, with a nozzle installed in each section.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: (1) This utility model replaces the multi-nozzle combination of traditional car wash machines with a rotatable single-set nozzle assembly, which effectively reduces the number of hardware, lowers the equipment manufacturing cost and installation complexity, and makes the car wash device more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0010] (2) This utility model combines a rotatable single-unit nozzle assembly with a nozzle lifting function, which can adapt to the height of different vehicle models and achieve dynamic coverage of the entire vehicle body without manual adjustment, eliminating blind spots in cleaning and significantly improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0011] (3) This utility model has a compact structure, high integration, and is easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0014] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the vertical brush and spray structure assembly of a car wash machine provided in this embodiment includes a gear 1, a support bearing A2, a positioning bearing 3, a pulley 5, a vertical brush tube 6, a support bearing B7, a vertical brush 8, a limit bearing 9, an inner tube extension tube 10, a slide rail 11, a nozzle 12, a motor 13, and a mounting bracket 14. The vertical brush 8 is installed at the lower end of the vertical brush tube 6, which is rotatably suspended on a trolley 4 via the positioning bearing 3. The trolley 4 can move along the length of the car being washed along the gantry 15, and also along the width of the car being washed on the gantry 15. The PLC controller controls the rotation of the inner tube 62 and the outer tube 61, and the up-and-down movement of the nozzle 12, based on the vehicle position signal (sensors are installed on site).

[0015] The vertical brush tube 6 consists of an outer tube 61 and an inner tube 62. The inner tube 62 is fitted inside the outer tube 61. The upper section of the outer tube 61 is rotatably mounted on the trolley 4 via two positioning bearings 3. A limit bearing 9 is installed at the bottom end. A pulley 5 is mounted on the outer tube 61. The outer tube 61 is connected to a reducer B via a belt drive. The reducer B is connected to a motor B. The motor B is controlled to start and stop by a PLC controller. The reducer B and the motor B are mounted on a gantry frame 15. The upper end of the inner tube 62 is rotatably mounted on the trolley 4 via a support bearing A2. A gear 1 is installed at the top end. The inner tube 62 is connected to a reducer A via gear transmission. The reducer A is connected to a motor A. The motor A is controlled to start and stop by a PLC controller. The reducer A and the motor A are mounted on a gantry frame 15.

[0016] The lower end of the inner tube 62 extends from the center hole of the limiting bearing 9 at the bottom of the outer tube 61 and connects to the bent inner tube extension tube 10. The other end of the inner tube extension tube 10 is mounted on the outer tube 61 via a support bearing B7. A slide rail 11 for the nozzle 12 to move up and down is installed on one side of the vertical section of the inner tube extension tube 10. Both ends of the slide rail 11 are fixed to the vertical section of the inner tube extension tube 10. The nozzle 12 is connected to the water pipe and a motor is installed on the nozzle 12. The PLC controller controls the motor to move the nozzle 12 up and down. In this embodiment, the slide rail 11 is divided into upper and lower sections by a bracket. One nozzle 12 is installed on each of the upper and lower sections. When the car is a small car with a low body, only the nozzle 12 on the lower section of the slide rail 11 can be used; otherwise, both the upper and lower nozzles 12 can be used simultaneously.

[0017] When this utility model is in operation, after the vehicle enters and is positioned, the gantry 15 initially remains in a waiting state. Then, it moves along the length of the vehicle from the front to the rear. The vertical brush and water spray assembly on the toy car 4 move synchronously with the gantry 15. At this time, the PLC controller controls the motor on the nozzle 12 to move the nozzle 12 up and down to spray water. Simultaneously, the PLC controller controls motor B to rotate the outer pipe 61, and the vertical brush 8 operates to clean one side of the vehicle. When the gantry 15 moves to the rear of the vehicle, the PLC controller controls motor A to rotate the inner pipe 62... The inner tube extension pipe 10 and the nozzle part rotate 90 degrees so that the nozzle part faces the rear of the car. Then, the vertical brush and water spray structure assembly move along the width of the car with the small sports car 4 to clean the rear of the car. When the small sports car 4 moves to the other side of the car, the inner tube extension pipe 10 and the nozzle part rotate 90 degrees again, and the gantry 15 moves from the rear of the car to the front of the car to clean the other side of the car. Finally, the inner tube extension pipe 10 and the nozzle part rotate 90 degrees again, and the small sports car 4 moves to clean the front of the car.
