Description

Installation de lavage de véhicules automobiles équipée de brosses de nettoyage de roues.Motor vehicle washing installation equipped with wheel cleaning brushes.

La présente invention concerne les installations de lavage automatique de véhicules automobiles du genre comprenant une ossature mobile en forme de portique et agencée de manière & pouvoir se déplacer sur un chemin de roulement et de guidage approprié, d'une extrémité l'autre d'un véhicule stationnant dans l'axe de translation du portique mobile, sur une aire de lavage delim tées latéralement, par les montants de ce dernier, ledit portique étant, par exemple, communément équipé de deux brosses rotatives latérales disposées verticalement ou sensiblement verticalement, d'une brosse rotative horizontale, de moyens pour la projection du ou des liquides de lavage et de rinçage et, dans de nombreux cas, d'une soufflerie de séchage.The present invention relates to automatic washing installations for motor vehicles of the kind comprising a mobile frame in the form of a gantry and arranged so as to be able to move on an appropriate raceway and guide, from one end to the other of a vehicle parked in the axis of translation of the mobile gantry, on a washing area delimited laterally, by the amounts of the latter, said gantry being, for example, commonly equipped with two lateral rotary brushes arranged vertically or substantially vertically, a horizontal rotating brush, means for spraying the washing or rinsing liquid or liquids and, in many cases, a drying blower.

Plus précisément, l'invention se rattache aux installations de ce genre qui sont, en outre, équipées de brosses de lavage des roues des véhicules, indépendantes ou distinctes des brosses verticales de nettoyage des flancs de ces derniers.More specifically, the invention relates to installations of this kind which are, moreover, equipped with brushes for washing vehicle wheels, independent or separate from the vertical brushes for cleaning the sides of the latter.

Dans les installations connues de ce type (Brevet français N0 2q095.648), les brosses de roues sont montées rotatives autour d'un axe de rotation orienté perpendiculairement l'axe de translation du portique, de sorte que la rotation desdites brosses s'effectue dans un plan parallèle audit axe de translation. Pour pouvoir remplir leur fonction, ces brosses sont complétées par un dispositif de détection disposé latéralement par rapport ces dernières.In known installations of this type (French patent N0 2q095.648), the wheel brushes are mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation oriented perpendicularly to the axis of translation of the gantry, so that the said brushes are rotated in a plane parallel to said axis of translation. To be able to fulfill their function, these brushes are supplemented by a detection device disposed laterally relative to the latter.

Un tel équipement présente l'inconvénient qu'il ne permet pas de garantir, en raison du fait que les véhicules nettoyer peuvent avoir des formes et largeurs très variées, que les dispositifs de détection déceleront toujours correctement la présence des roues du véhicule stationnant sur l'aire de lavage et, en cas d'absence de détection des roues, ou de détection opérée dans de mauvaises conditions, outre le fait que ces roues ne seront pas ou mal nettoyées, la partie dure des portes-brosses peut découper ou endommager le bas de caisse ou les pneumatiques dudit véhicule.En outre, sous l'effet de la force centrifuge, les poils des brosses tendent & orienter radialement, de sorte que lesdites brosses se creusent dans leur portion centrale et perdent ainsi une partie de leur efficacité. Such equipment has the drawback that it does not guarantee, due to the fact that the vehicles to be cleaned can have very varied shapes and widths, that the detection devices will always correctly detect the presence of the wheels of the vehicle parked on the vehicle. 'washing area and, in the absence of detection of the wheels, or detection carried out in poor conditions, in addition to the fact that these wheels will not be or poorly cleaned, the hard part of the brush holders can cut or damage the underbody or the tires of said vehicle. In addition, under the effect of centrifugal force, the bristles of the brushes tend to orient radially, so that said brushes burrow in their central portion and thus lose part of their effectiveness.

Un objectif de la présente invention est, notamment, de remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés des montages connus des brosses de roues.An objective of the present invention is, in particular, to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks of the known arrangements of the wheel brushes.

Selon l'invention, ce but est partiellement atteint par le fait que les brosses de roues sont montées rotatives autour d'un axe de rotation parallèle ou sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de translation du portique mobile, de sorte que la rotation desdites brosses s'effectue dans un plan perpendiculaire ou sensiblement perpendiculaire audit axe de translation.According to the invention, this object is partially achieved by the fact that the wheel brushes are rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of translation of the mobile gantry, so that the rotation of said brushes s 'performs in a plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to said axis of translation.

Gracie & cette disposition et au mode de suspension des brosses de roues décrit dans la suite du présent expose, l'action de nettoyage exercée par lesdites brosses sur les roues et sur le bas de caisse des véhicules, est très efficace, quelles que soient les formes et largeurs de ces derniers. En outre, tout risque d'endommagement des pneumatiques et du bas de caisse desdits véhicules, est radicalement écarté. Thanks to this arrangement and to the mode of suspension of the wheel brushes described in the remainder of this document, the cleaning action exerted by said brushes on the wheels and on the underbody of vehicles is very effective, whatever the shapes and widths of these. In addition, any risk of damage to the tires and the underbody of said vehicles is radically eliminated.

Ces buts, caractéristiques et avantages, et d'autres encore, ressortiront mieux de la description qui suit et des dessins annexés dans lesquels
La figure 1 est une vue de face d'un portique mobile de lavage de véhicules équipé de brosses de lavage de roues installées conformément l'invention et représentees -en action.These aims, characteristics and advantages, and others still, will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and from the appended drawings in which
Figure 1 is a front view of a mobile vehicle washing gantry equipped with wheel washing brushes installed in accordance with the invention and shown in action.

La figure 2 est une vue partielle, de face et à plus grande échelle, de l'une des brosses de roues et de son dispositif de suspension ; une portion de ladite brosse représentée en action étant enlevée afin de découvrir la totalité de ses moyens de suspension.Figure 2 is a partial front view on a larger scale of one of the wheel brushes and its suspension device; a portion of said brush shown in action being removed in order to discover all of its suspension means.

La figure 3 est une vue en plan et en coupe se#lon la ligne 3 - 3-de la figure 2.Figure 3 is a plan view in section along line 3 - 3 of Figure 2.

On se réfère auxdits dessins suivant lesquels les brosses de roues sont représentées en action lors du nettoyage des roues avant R d'un véhicule V stationnant dans l'axe de translation du portique mobile, pour décrire un exemple d'exécution intéressant, quoique nullement limitatif, des per fectionnements selon 1l'invention. Reference is made to said drawings according to which the wheel brushes are shown in action during the cleaning of the front wheels R of a vehicle V parked in the axis of translation of the mobile gantry crane, to describe an interesting example of execution, although in no way limiting , improvements according to the invention.

L'installation de lavage de véhicules automobiles & laquelle sont avantageusement applicables ces perfectionnements, comprend, par exemple, de maniere connue en soi, un bâti mobile en forme de portique constitue de deux montants latéraux 1 rigidement assemblés au moyen d'une traverse supérieure 2. La base de cet ensemble est équipée d'organes de roulement 3 permettant son déplacement alternatif sur un chemin de roulement 4, par exemple formé par des rails installés dans le sol ou autre plan horizontal.Ce portique mobile porte deux brosses verticales 5 et une brosse horizontale 6, ainsi qu'un équipement (non représenté) permettant de projeter le ou les liquides de lavage sur la carrosserie des véhicules lesquels stationnent, durant lloperation de nettoyage, dans l'axe de translation dudit portique, sur une aire de lavage délimitée par les montants latéraux de ce dernier. The motor vehicle washing installation, to which these improvements are advantageously applicable, comprises, for example, in a manner known per se, a movable frame in the form of a gantry consists of two lateral uprights 1 rigidly assembled by means of an upper cross member 2 The base of this assembly is equipped with rolling members 3 allowing it to move alternately on a rolling track 4, for example formed by rails installed in the ground or another horizontal plane. This mobile gantry carries two vertical brushes 5 and a horizontal brush 6, as well as an equipment (not shown) making it possible to spray the washing liquid (s) onto the bodywork of the vehicles which are parked, during the cleaning operation, in the axis of translation of said gantry, on a delimited washing area by the lateral uprights of the latter.

En outre, le portique est équipé, dans sa partie basse, d'au moins une brosse de lavage de roues et, de préférence, de deux brosses de lavage de roues 7 dont chacune est portée par l'un des montants 1, lesdites brosses de roues étant, de préférence, disposées sur le cOté dudit portique opposé å celui où se trouvent les brosses verticales 5.In addition, the gantry is equipped, in its lower part, with at least one wheel washing brush and, preferably, with two wheel washing brushes 7 each of which is carried by one of the uprights 1, said brushes wheels preferably being arranged on the side of said gantry opposite to that where the vertical brushes are located 5.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, les brosses de roues 7 sont montées rotatives autour d'un axe de rotation a-a parallèle ou sensiblement parallèle l'axe de translation y- du portique mobile 1 2. Autrement dit, la rotation desdites brosses s'effectue dans un plan k-k perpendiculaire ou sensiblement perpendiculaire audit axe de translation
Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, chaque brosse de roues 7 est montée, avec une latitude de rotation, & l'extrémité inférieure d'un bras 8 suspendu, avec une aptitude de pivotement, par sa partie supérieure, å un axe 9 porté par le montant 1 correspondant du portique et orienté parallèlement ou sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe de rotation (a-a) de ladite brosse, De la sorte, ce bras est monte avec une latitude d'oscillation dans un plan parallèle au plan de rotation de la brosse.According to a first characteristic of the invention, the wheel brushes 7 are mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation aa parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of translation y- of the movable gantry 1 2. In other words, the rotation of said brushes s '' performs in a plane kk perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to said axis of translation
According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, each wheel brush 7 is mounted, with a latitude of rotation, & the lower end of an arm 8 suspended, with a pivotability, by its upper part, to an axis 9 carried by the corresponding upright 1 of the gantry and oriented parallel or substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (aa) of said brush, In this way, this arm is mounted with a latitude of oscillation in a plane parallel to the plane of rotation of the brush.

De manière intéressante, l'axe porteur 9 est constitué par l'arbre de sortie d'un motoréducteur 10 installé fixement dans le montant 1 et permettant I'entratnement en rotation de la brosse de roues 7. Interestingly, the carrying axis 9 is constituted by the output shaft of a gearmotor 10 fixedly installed in the upright 1 and allowing the rotation of the wheel brush 7.

Cet entratnement en rotation est, par exemple, obtenu au moyen d'une transmission par channe comprenant une chatne 11 s'enroulant, d'une part, sur un pignon d'entratnement 12 calé sur l'axe porteur et moteur 9, et d'autre part, sur un pignon entratné 13 calé sur l'axe 14 de la brosse de lavage de roues 7. This rotational drive is, for example, obtained by means of a chain transmission comprising a spindle 11 winding, on the one hand, on a drive pinion 12 wedged on the carrier and motor axis 9, and d on the other hand, on a driven pinion 13 fixed on the axis 14 of the wheel washing brush 7.

Les bras pivotants 8 de suspension des brosses de roues 7 occupent, au repos, une position inclinée formant, par exemple, un angle de l'ordre de 300 par rapport la verticale. Ils sont asservis un ou plusieurs organes élastiques tendant & les maintenir ou les rappeler dans cette position inclinée. Ce ou ces organes élastiques autorisent le pivotement du bras en direction de ltextérieur du portique, sous une-force peu importante, c'est-à-dire une adaptation automatique de l'ecartement des brosses de roues disposées en vis-à-vis, à l'écartement des roues des véhicules lequel peut, en effet, varier en fonction des types et modèles de véhicules.The pivoting arms 8 for suspending the wheel brushes 7 occupy, at rest, an inclined position forming, for example, an angle of the order of 300 relative to the vertical. They are slaved one or more elastic organs tending to maintain or recall them in this inclined position. This or these elastic members allow the pivoting of the arm in the direction of the interior of the gantry, under a slight force, that is to say an automatic adaptation of the spacing of the wheel brushes arranged opposite, vehicle wheel spacing which may, in fact, vary depending on the types and models of vehicles.

Les organes élastiques maintenant le bras pivotant en position inclinée sont, par exemple, constitués par une paire de ressorts de traction 15 fixes, par leurs extrémités opposées, d'une part, à un levier 16 rigidement solidaire de l'extrémité supérieure dudit bras et oriente en direction de l'extérieur du portique et, d'autre part, une patte de fixation 17 qui peut être formée par la branche horizontale d'une équerre installée fixement sur le montant 1 correspondant du portique, à distance et audessous du plan horizontal dans lequel est place l'axe d'articulation du bras. L'un des moyens de fixation de ces ressorts peut entre avantageusement constitué par un dispositif permettant, de façon connue en soi, de régler leur tension.The elastic members holding the pivoting arm in the inclined position are, for example, constituted by a pair of tension springs 15 fixed, by their opposite ends, on the one hand, to a lever 16 rigidly secured to the upper end of said arm and oriented towards the outside of the gantry and, on the other hand, a fixing lug 17 which can be formed by the horizontal branch of a bracket fixedly installed on the corresponding upright 1 of the gantry, at a distance and below the horizontal plane in which is placed the articulation axis of the arm. One of the means for fixing these springs can advantageously consist of a device making it possible, in a manner known per se, to adjust their tension.

La patte de fixation 17 constitue également une butée limitant le pivotement du bras 8 en direction de l'extérieur du portique, jusqu'a.  The fixing lug 17 also constitutes a stop limiting the pivoting of the arm 8 towards the outside of the gantry, up to.

une position suivant laquelle ledit bras se trouve & la #verticale ou sensiblement à la verticale. La face extérieure de chaque bras pivotant est équipée d'un butoir élastique 18 destine a s'appuyer sur le bord interne de la patte de fixation 17, lorsque ledit bras est repoussé jusqu a sa position extrême. a position in which said arm is located vertically or substantially vertically. The outer face of each pivoting arm is equipped with an elastic stopper 18 intended to bear on the internal edge of the fixing lug 17, when said arm is pushed back to its extreme position.
