1 TARIFF Contactless Motorcycle Washing and Drying Cabinet Technical Area The invention describes a system for contactless operation of motorcycles on a fixed platform while the rider is outside the cabin. Compact process 5 used for foaming, washing, rinsing and air drying. It is related to the cabins. The invention specifically describes a system where the water, foam, and drying lines are carried on a hinged shell, with a fixed base. Motorcycle washing and drying system that collects the remaining dirty water through a grate drainage system. It relates to the cabin area. State of the Art 10 Motorcycle cleaning is mostly done manually with pressure washing in open areas or at car wash stations. by manual intervention or foaming and rinsing methods in open service areas These applications result in water and foam splashing, and uncontrolled spread of contaminated fluids. The inability to achieve homogeneous washing on different motorcycle geometries and the manual drying process Problems such as completion arise. 15 Tunnel-type or brush washing systems developed for automobiles are not suitable for motorcycles in narrow, open spaces. It is not directly suitable for the remaining and sensitive components. Indicator, electrical in motorcycles. links, bearing areas, brake discs, chain or belt drive, exhaust line and various Because the accessories are located in different positions, fixed and coarse jet applications may be damaged or inadequate. cleaning can pose a risk. 20 Enclosed motorcycle garages or portable storage structures protect motorcycles from environmental influences. It can protect, but foam, high-pressure washing, final rinse, drying, mist extraction, A technology that performs discharge, filtration, and safety interlocks as a single process cycle. It does not include any devices. Purpose of the Invention 25 The invention aims to create a system where the motorcycle remains stationary inside the cabin while the user is outside the cabin. where washing and drying processes are carried out sequentially and in a controlled manner within a closed volume The goal is to provide a compact motorcycle washing and drying cabinet. 2 Another purpose of the invention is to keep the base and drainage system stable while routing the water, foam, and drying lines. by placing the base on carrier rails on the inner surface of the one-piece upward-opening composite shell. The goal is to facilitate cleaning and service access. Another purpose of the invention is to distribute the pump through the technical compartment located on the hinge side. Chemical dosing, blower, valve / manifold and control units are separated from the wet area in 5 to house and protect hose, air and cable lines passing through the shell near the hinge axis It is about managing through a transition. Another purpose of the invention is the inner pool set around the base, the inward-facing dropper under the shell. by using lip, labyrinth overlay, seal, mist suction and drip waiting steps together The goal is to reduce water and foam overflow. 10 The invention also enables the nozzle and air ducts to remain stationary and motionless during washing. However, by allowing it to be carried upwards along with the shell as the shell opens and closes, the process is repeated It aims to improve both usability and service accessibility.

The discharge trough (4) is used to collect the water, foam, dirt and sediment that are formed during the process at the bottom. and is arranged in such a way as to transfer it to the filter and separator group (27). Filter and separator group (27), removable sediment basket, sediment volume, oil-water separator, bag filter or similar purification 5 It may include one or more of its elements. The one-piece composite shell (9) opens upwards around the rear-bottom hinge axis (10) It is arranged to close. When the shell (9) is in the closed position, it is around the motorcycle (8). It forms the washing and drying volume; when in the open position, it has a fixed base (2), a grate (3), and a front wheel. It provides service access to the lock (7), nozzle and air ducts. 10 On the shell (9), there are inner shell carrier rails (17) fixed to the inner surface of the shell. Washing or rinsing nozzles (18), foaming nozzles (19) and drying air ducts (20) They are connected to the carrier rails (17). Thus, the process elements in question are connected during washing. It remains in a fixed position relative to the motorcycle, but moves together with the shell when the shell (9) is opened and closed. It does. 15 Washing or rinsing nozzles (18) are arranged in front, middle and rear columns on the left and right inner surfaces, It can also be positioned on the upper surface line. The lower, middle and upper levels of the side nozzles are on the rim. Different angles and fans for the engine block, frame, tank, seat, handlebars, and tail sections. Adjustable in width. The undercarriage washer line (26) is located on the underside of the motorcycle and inside the rims. It may include directional protected nozzle groups. 20 Foam nozzles (19) are a low-pressure premix separate from washing or rinsing nozzles (18). and can be fed via an air-assisted line. Keeping the foam line separate allows for more efficient chemical dosing. to ensure stable production, reduce the risk of chemical residue in valves and nozzles, and prevent foaming. It ensures even distribution across the motorcycle surface. Drying air ducts (20) direct the air from the blower or turbine (15) from top to bottom, from the side down 25 and are arranged to direct the airflow tangentially to the rim areas. Drying air ducts (20), with air knife slits, targeted air nozzles, dampers or zone valves It can be divided into sections. The technical compartment (12) is preferably located on the hinge side and the washing pump (13), chemical Dosing unit (14), blower or turbine (15), valve and manifold assembly (16), control unit (29), 30 It houses the filters and the electrical panel. The technical compartment (12) is located on the hinge side. The hose ensures that air and cable passage (21) is kept short and controlled. Hose, air and cable passage (21) hinges to the axis between shell (9) and technical compartment (12). It is passed through a nearby point. During this passage, the bending radius must be maintained during opening and closing. prevention of sagging or twisting and use of quick-release service connections predictable. The sealing arrangement of the cabin (1) is the inner pool set (22) located around the base, 5 on the lower skirt of the shell. inward-facing dropper lip (23), labyrinth overlapping surfaces and EPDM if necessary or is created with silicone gasket profiles. This arrangement allows the water to put stress only on the gasket. Instead of holding it, it relies on directing the momentum of the fluid towards the bottom and the discharge trough (4). The entrance ramp (24) facilitates loading the motorcycle (8) onto the fixed base (2) in the open position; In the closed position, the shell (9) and base (2) together form a labyrinth or droplet-cutting geometry 10 It can be formed. A backflow channel or grate area may be located on the entrance ramp (24). Safety sensors (25) indicate that the shell is in the closed position, the front wheel lock (7) is locked, that the technical compartment (12) or service hatch (30) is closed, and the discharge level is appropriate It can be used to check that emergency stop conditions have not occurred and that the control unit is functioning correctly. (29), pump (13), chemical dosing unit (14), valve and 15 without proper approval from these sensors. It can be configured so as not to operate the manifold assembly (16) or the blower / turbine unit (15). During a washing cycle, the motorcycle (8) is aligned on the center V channel (6) and the front wheel lock It is secured with (7). After the user exits the cabin, the shell (9) closes and the safety sensors (25) is verified. Then foaming, waiting, high pressure or medium pressure washing, final Rinsing, drying, mist extraction and drip waiting steps are sequentially controlled by the control unit (29) 20 It is carried out in this way. Instead of operating all nozzles at the same time, via the valve and manifold assembly (16) Zoned operation can be performed. This allows for monitoring of pump flow rate, pressure fluctuations, fog formation, and sensitive areas. The application of high pressure directly to motorcycle areas is kept under control. Shell (9), glass fiber reinforced composite, isophthalic polyester, vinyl ester or similar chemical 25 It can be manufactured from durable materials. Inside the shell are hinges (10), actuator (11), carrier rail (17), Local reinforcement or embedded metal fasteners may be found in lock and seal areas. How the invention can be applied to industry.
