Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a car body cleaning device, and more particularly to a fully automatic cleaning device for cleaning the body of a bus. Background Technology

[0002] In urban public transport operations, to provide city residents with a pleasant riding environment, bus companies require all operating vehicles to be kept clean, hygienic, and disinfected, both inside and out. To achieve this, car wash areas are set up in the bus company's parking lots, staffed with cleaning personnel. Buses must return to the car wash area for cleaning after rain or after a period of operation. Current methods primarily involve manual high-pressure water jet washing followed by hand-held brush cleaning, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that wastes significant amounts of water and pollutes the wash area. Semi-automatic mobile car wash equipment has also been developed, which can be manually operated... The manually pulled car wash cart is equipped with a gantry frame, a washing roller brush in the middle of the gantry frame, and spray nozzles on the gantry columns. During washing, the cart is manually moved next to the vehicle, and the spray nozzles and roller brush are activated to spray water onto the vehicle. The roller brush begins to roll, and the cart is manually moved to clean a specific surface of the vehicle.
