[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, an automatic car washer includes a control system, a guide rail 1, a guide rail running component 2, and a cantilever 3. The guide rail running component 2 is connected to the guide rail 1 and can move along the guide rail 1. One end of the cantilever 3 is connected to the guide rail running component 2, and the other end of the cantilever 3 is provided with a nozzle component 4.

[0041] The guide rail travel component 2 includes a traveling frame 5, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 1. The traveling frame 5 is provided with a first contact wheel 6 and a second contact wheel 7, both of which are rotatably connected to the traveling frame 5. The first contact wheel 6 is located on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 1, and the first contact wheel 6 contacts the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 1. The second contact wheel 7 is located on the left and right sides of the guide rail 1, and the second contact wheel 7 contacts the left and right sides of the guide rail 1.

[0042] The traveling frame 5 is provided with a travel drive device 8, to which a drive wheel 9 is connected. The drive wheel 9 contacts one side of the guide rail 1. The travel drive device 8 drives the drive wheel 9 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive wheel 9 drives the traveling frame 5 to move along the guide rail 1. The travel drive device 8 is electrically connected to the control system.

[0043] The cantilever swing device 10 is provided with a drive shaft 11, which is connected to one end of the cantilever 3. The cantilever 3 is driven to swing in a vertical plane by the cantilever swing device 10. The cantilever swing device 10 is electrically connected to a control system.

[0044] The nozzle assembly 4 includes a base plate 13, an inlet pipe 38, a swing seat 51, a swing bracket 31, a nozzle adjustment mechanism, an electric reversing valve 40, and a main connecting pipe 14. The base plate 13 is fixedly connected to the cantilever 3 and is provided with a first swing drive mechanism. The first swing drive mechanism connects the swing seat 51 and the swing bracket 31 and drives the swing seat 51 and the swing bracket 31 to swing about a first axis.

[0045] The first swing drive mechanism includes a first swing motor 16, a hollow shaft 19, and a first position detection encoder 24. The first swing motor 16 is mounted on the base plate 13 and is electrically connected to the control system. A first gear 17 is connected to the first swing motor 16, and the hollow shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the base plate 13. A second gear 20 is mounted on the hollow shaft 19, meshing with the first gear 17. A swing base 51 is connected to the hollow shaft 19. The swing base 51 is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 19 and rotates with the hollow shaft 19.

[0046] A first position detection encoder 24 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 13 and electrically connected to the control system. A third gear 23 is connected to the first position detection encoder 24, and the third gear 23 meshes with the second gear 20. When the hollow shaft 19 rotates, the second gear 20 drives the third gear 23 to rotate, and the first position detection encoder 24 detects the angular state of the hollow shaft 19.

[0047] A first sensing plate 21 is connected to the second gear 20, and a zero position sensor 22 is provided on the base plate 13 to cooperate with the first sensing plate 21. When the first sensing plate 21 rotates to a position directly opposite the zero position sensor 22, the hollow shaft 19 reaches the zero angle state. In the present invention, the zero position sensor 22 is an infrared sensor and is electrically connected to the control system.

[0048] A cylindrical connector 32 is provided at one end of the hollow shaft 19. The connector 32 is integrally formed with the hollow shaft 19. A first trunnion 48 and a second trunnion 49 are coaxially arranged on either side of the connector. The swing bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the first and second trunnions 48, 49. Rotation of the hollow shaft 19 drives the swing bracket 31 in rotation. As the swing bracket 31 rotates with the hollow shaft 19, it simultaneously rotates around the first and second trunnions 48, 49.

[0049] A second swing drive mechanism is provided on the swing base 51. The second swing drive mechanism is connected to the swing bracket 31 and drives the swing bracket 31 to swing about a second axis, with the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis. The second swing drive mechanism includes a second swing motor 35 disposed on the swing base 51. The second swing motor 35 is electrically connected to the control system. The output shaft of the second swing motor 35 is connected to a sixth gear 34. The swing bracket 31 is connected to a fifth gear 33, which is coaxially arranged with the first ear shaft 48 and the second ear shaft 49. The fifth gear 33 meshes with the sixth gear 34. The output shaft of the second swing motor 35 is also connected to a second position detection encoder 36, which is electrically connected to the control system. The second swing motor 35 drives the sixth gear 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the fifth gear 33 to rotate. The second position detection encoder 36 can detect the rotation angle of the motor, and thus the angular state of the swing bracket 31.

[0050] The swing base 51 is equipped with a water nozzle 26 and a detergent nozzle 25. The water nozzle 26 is equipped with a rotatable nozzle 27, which is driven to rotate by a nozzle adjustment mechanism. The nozzle adjustment mechanism includes a first target position sensor 46, a second target position sensor 47, a nozzle adjustment motor 30, and a ring gear 28 mounted on the nozzle 27. The nozzle adjustment motor 30 is fixed to the swing base 31 and electrically connected to the control system. A fourth gear 29 is connected to the output shaft of the nozzle adjustment motor 30, which meshes with the ring gear 28. After passing through the water nozzle 26, water forms a flat jet. The nozzle adjustment motor 30 adjusts the rotation angle of the nozzle 27, thereby adjusting the angle of the jet. A third sensor 45 is mounted on the ring gear 28, which moves between the first target position sensor 46 and the second target position sensor 47. Both the first and second target position sensors 46 and 47 are infrared sensors. Both the first and second target position sensors 46 and 47 are electrically connected to the control system. When the third sensing plate 45 rotates to the position corresponding to the first target position sensor 46, the angle between the flat jet ejected from the nozzle 27 and the vertical plane is 15 degrees. When the third sensing plate 45 rotates to the position corresponding to the second target position sensor 47, the angle between the flat jet ejected from the nozzle 27 and the vertical plane is 40 degrees.

[0051] The input end of the electric reversing valve 40 is connected to the input pipe 38, and the output end of the electric reversing valve 40 is connected to the first output branch pipe 39 and the second output branch pipe 52. The first output branch pipe 39 is connected to the cleaning agent nozzle 25, and the second output branch pipe 52 is connected to the water nozzle 26. The main connecting pipe 14 and the input pipe 38 are connected by a pipe connection mechanism.

[0052] The electric reversing valve 40 is connected to a reversing drive shaft 50, which is connected to a reversing motor 41. The reversing motor 41 drives the reversing shaft to rotate, thereby switching the conduction state of the electric reversing valve 40. The reversing motor 41 is electrically connected to the control system. A second sensor plate 44 is connected to the reversing drive shaft 50. A first reversing position sensor 42 and a second reversing position sensor 43 are located on either side of the reversing drive shaft 50. Both the first and second reversing position sensors 42 and 43 are infrared sensors and are electrically connected to the control system. When the second sensor plate 44 rotates to the position of the first reversing position sensor 42, the input pipe 38 is connected to the first output branch 39. When the second sensor plate 44 rotates to the position of the second reversing position sensor 43, the input pipe 38 is connected to the second output branch 52.

[0053] The pipe connection mechanism includes a first channel 53 disposed within the hollow shaft 19 and a second channel 54 disposed within the second trunnion 49. The interior of the connector 32 is a hollow structure, with the first channel 53 and the second channel 54 communicating. One end of the main connecting pipe 14 is connected to one end of the hollow shaft 19 via a first rotary joint 18, and one end of the input pipe 38 is connected to one end of the second trunnion 49 via a second rotary joint 37. This internal pipe connection mechanism allows the passage for water or cleaning agent to pass through the interior of the hollow shaft 19 and the second trunnion 49, eliminating the need for additional external connecting pipes. This reduces the complexity of the pipe layout and avoids the risk of collision and interference between external pipes and moving parts (such as gears, swing bracket 31, and swing seat 51).

[0054] Main connecting pipe 14 is connected to both the water tank and the cleaning agent tank, and the water and cleaning agent share this single pipe. When water spraying is required, electric reversing valve 40 switches to a state where the input pipe 38 and the second output branch pipe 52 are in communication. Water then flows through main connecting pipe 14, first channel 53, second channel 54, input pipe 38, electric reversing valve 40, and second output branch pipe 52, reaching sprinkler head 26 and finally being sprayed out through nozzle 27 on sprinkler head 26.

[0055] When it is necessary to spray the cleaning agent, the electric reversing valve 40 switches to a state where the input pipe 38 and the first output branch pipe 39 are connected, and the cleaning agent passes through the main connecting pipe 14, the first channel 53, the second channel 54, the input pipe 38, the electric reversing valve 40, the first output branch pipe 39 in sequence and reaches the cleaning agent nozzle 25, and is finally sprayed out through the cleaning agent nozzle 25.

[0056] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0057] 1. The present invention can spray water and detergent at the same time, and the two working modes can be switched through an electric switching valve, which solves the problem that traditional car washing devices require manual spraying of detergent.

[0058] 2. In the present invention, the water nozzle 26 and the cleaning agent nozzle 25 can be rotated with multiple degrees of freedom through the first swing drive mechanism and the second swing drive mechanism. The nozzle 27 on the water nozzle 26 can also be rotated and adjusted to adjust the direction of the jet. In this way, the water nozzle 26 and the cleaning agent nozzle 25 can flexibly reach the required spray angle position, which can better clean the vehicle, reduce cleaning blind spots, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0059] 3. The main connecting pipe 14 and the input pipe 38 are connected through a pipe connecting mechanism. This built-in pipe connecting mechanism allows the channel for water or cleaning agent to pass through the hollow shaft 19 and the second ear shaft 49. There is no need to arrange additional connecting pipes on the outside, which reduces the complexity of the pipe layout and avoids the risk of collision and interference between external pipes and moving parts (such as gears, swing bracket 31, and swing seat 51).

[0060] 4. The nozzle on the water nozzle can be rotated and adjusted to adjust the angle, direction and spray effect of the jet to ensure the actual flushing effect.

[0061] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same or similar to that of the present application falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
