Description

本発明は洗浄水を噴射する噴射ノズルを備えた洗車機に関する。   The present invention relates to a car wash machine provided with an injection nozzle for injecting cleaning water.

給油所等に設置される従来の洗車機は特許文献１に開示される。この洗車機は本体部及び給水部を有する。   A conventional car wash machine installed in a gas station or the like is disclosed in Patent Document 1. This car wash machine has a main body part and a water supply part.

本体部は左右の対向する２つのスタンド部とスタンド部の上端を連結する天井部とを有して門型に形成される。スタンド部には噴射ノズル及び乾燥ノズルが設けられる。噴射ノズルからは洗浄水が噴射され、乾燥ノズルからは空気が送出される。   The main body portion is formed in a gate shape having two left and right opposing stand portions and a ceiling portion connecting the upper ends of the stand portions. The stand unit is provided with an injection nozzle and a drying nozzle. Washing water is jetted from the jet nozzle, and air is sent from the drying nozzle.

給水部は貯水タンクにより形成され所定の量の洗浄水を貯水する。給水部の下流には高圧ポンプ、電磁弁及び噴射ノズルが順に設けられる。高圧ポンプは給水部から供給される洗浄水を増圧して流通させる。電磁弁は弁を開閉させて洗浄水の流通を制御する。   The water supply unit is formed by a water storage tank and stores a predetermined amount of washing water. A high-pressure pump, a solenoid valve, and an injection nozzle are sequentially provided downstream of the water supply unit. The high-pressure pump increases the pressure of the wash water supplied from the water supply unit and distributes it. The solenoid valve controls the flow of cleaning water by opening and closing the valve.

上記構成の洗車機において洗浄が開始されると、本体部が被洗浄車両に対して前後方向に移動し、電磁弁を開いて高圧ポンプが駆動される。これにより、噴射ノズルから高圧の洗浄水が噴射され、被洗浄車両が洗浄される。また、噴射ノズルの後方に配した乾燥ノズルから空気を送出して被洗浄車両の乾燥が行われる。洗車が終了すると高圧ポンプを停止して電磁弁が閉じられる。   When cleaning is started in the car wash machine having the above configuration, the main body moves in the front-rear direction with respect to the vehicle to be cleaned, opens the electromagnetic valve, and drives the high-pressure pump. Thereby, high-pressure washing water is jetted from the jet nozzle, and the vehicle to be washed is washed. Further, the vehicle to be cleaned is dried by sending air from a drying nozzle disposed behind the spray nozzle. When the car wash is finished, the high-pressure pump is stopped and the solenoid valve is closed.

また、特許文献２に開示されるように被洗浄車両の下方を前後に移動する下面洗浄部を備えた洗車機も知られている。下面洗浄部に配した噴射ノズルから噴射される洗浄水によって被洗浄車両の下面の洗浄を行うことができる。   Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, a car wash machine including a lower surface cleaning unit that moves back and forth under a vehicle to be cleaned is also known. The lower surface of the vehicle to be cleaned can be cleaned with the cleaning water sprayed from the spray nozzle disposed in the lower surface cleaning section.

また、特許文献３に開示されるように高圧ポンプ、電磁弁及び洗浄ノズルを有する洗浄装置も知られている。   Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, a cleaning apparatus having a high-pressure pump, a solenoid valve, and a cleaning nozzle is also known.

And a jet nozzle that moves relative to the vehicle to be cleaned back and forth, and opens the solenoid valve after a predetermined time has elapsed since the high-pressure pump is driven to move the jet nozzle to the vehicle to be cleaned. The cleaning water is jetted.

この構成によると、洗車機により洗浄が開始されると、高圧ポンプが駆動してから所定時間経過後に電磁弁を開放する。これにより噴射開始時に既に増圧された洗浄水を被洗浄車両に対して噴射する。   According to this configuration, when cleaning is started by the car wash machine, the electromagnetic valve is opened after a predetermined time has elapsed since the high-pressure pump was driven. As a result, the cleaning water whose pressure has been increased at the start of injection is injected to the vehicle to be cleaned.

FIG.

貯水タンク３５内には水ポンプ３６が配される。水ポンプ３６は貯水タンク３５内の洗浄水を吸い上げて下流に洗浄水を流出させる。水ポンプ３６の下流には分岐部３４が配される。分岐部３４の一方の下流には下面洗浄部３０が接続され、他方の下流には分配配管部５１が接続される。   A water pump 36 is disposed in the water storage tank 35. The water pump 36 sucks up the washing water in the water storage tank 35 and causes the washing water to flow downstream. A branch portion 34 is disposed downstream of the water pump 36. The lower surface cleaning unit 30 is connected to one downstream side of the branching unit 34, and the distribution piping unit 51 is connected to the other downstream side.

分岐部３４と下面洗浄部３０との間には高圧ポンプ３３及び電磁弁３２が配される。高圧ポンプ３３は配管３７内の洗浄水を６倍以上に増圧させて下流に流出する。高圧ポンプ３３と下面洗浄部３０との間は距離Ｄ（１８ｍ程度）だけ離れて設けられ、その間に本体部１が配されて本体部１は前後方向に移動する。電磁弁３２は電磁石（ソレノイド）の磁力を用いて鉄片を動かすことで弁を所定のタイミングで開閉する。   A high-pressure pump 33 and a solenoid valve 32 are arranged between the branch part 34 and the lower surface cleaning part 30. The high-pressure pump 33 increases the washing water in the pipe 37 by 6 times or more and flows downstream. The high-pressure pump 33 and the lower surface cleaning unit 30 are provided apart from each other by a distance D (about 18 m), and the main body 1 is disposed therebetween, and the main body 1 moves in the front-rear direction. The electromagnetic valve 32 opens and closes the valve at a predetermined timing by moving an iron piece using the magnetic force of an electromagnet (solenoid).

上記構成の洗車機ＷＡにおいて、ユーザは本体部１と離れた所定の位置で被洗浄車両ＣＡを停止する。そして、被洗浄車両ＣＡ内から手を伸ばしてリモート操作パネル７Ａにより所望の洗車設定を行う。   In the car wash machine WA having the above configuration, the user stops the vehicle to be cleaned CA at a predetermined position away from the main body 1. Then, reaching out from the vehicle to be cleaned CA, a desired car wash setting is performed by the remote operation panel 7A.

洗車設定が完了して洗車の開始が指示されると、高圧ポンプ３３が駆動する。ユーザは被洗浄車両ＣＡを運転して本体部１の方へ移動する。検知センサ４０は被洗浄車両ＣＡの前端に噴射ノズル３１が配されたことを検知すると、洗車機ＷＡは電磁弁３２を開放して噴射ノズル３１から洗浄水の噴射を開始する。   When the car wash setting is completed and the start of car wash is instructed, the high pressure pump 33 is driven. The user drives the vehicle to be cleaned CA and moves toward the main body 1. When the detection sensor 40 detects that the injection nozzle 31 is arranged at the front end of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, the car wash machine WA opens the electromagnetic valve 32 and starts to inject cleaning water from the injection nozzle 31.

この時、高圧ポンプ３３の駆動は洗車の開始の指示から所定時間経過しているため、噴射開始時には既に増圧された洗浄水が噴射ノズル３１から噴射される。そして、被洗浄車両ＣＡが本体部１の方へ進行して、噴射ノズル３１により被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面が洗浄される。   At this time, since the driving of the high-pressure pump 33 has passed a predetermined time from the instruction to start the car wash, the wash water whose pressure has already been increased is injected from the injection nozzle 31 at the start of injection. Then, the vehicle CA to be cleaned advances toward the main body 1, and the lower surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned is cleaned by the injection nozzle 31.

その後、検知センサ４０は被洗浄車両ＣＡの後端に噴射ノズル３１が配されたことを検知すると、洗車機ＷＡは電磁弁３２を閉じて洗浄水の噴射及び高圧ポンプ３３の駆動を停止する。これにより、洗浄水の無駄を抑制するとともに被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面の洗浄力を向上できる。また、高圧ポンプ３３の駆動を停止するため、配管３７内への高負荷状態を解消する。   Thereafter, when the detection sensor 40 detects that the injection nozzle 31 is disposed at the rear end of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, the car wash machine WA closes the electromagnetic valve 32 and stops the injection of the cleaning water and the driving of the high-pressure pump 33. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the waste of the cleaning water and improve the cleaning power of the lower surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned. Moreover, since the drive of the high pressure pump 33 is stopped, the high load state in the pipe 37 is eliminated.

さらにユーザは被洗浄車両ＣＡを運転して本体部１の方へ移動して所定の停車位置に被洗浄車両ＣＡが配されると本体部１が被洗浄車両ＣＡに向かって移動し、本体部１による洗車が開始される。被洗浄車両ＣＡの上面はトップブラシ４により洗浄され、側面はサイドブラシ５及びロッカーブラシ６によって洗浄される。   Further, when the user drives the vehicle to be cleaned CA and moves toward the main body 1 and the vehicle to be cleaned CA is arranged at a predetermined stop position, the main body 1 moves toward the vehicle to be cleaned CA. Car wash by 1 is started. The upper surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned is cleaned by the top brush 4, and the side surfaces are cleaned by the side brush 5 and the rocker brush 6.

回転ブラシによる洗浄が終了すると、トップ送風ノズル２１及びサイド送風ノズル２２から被洗浄車両ＣＡに対して空気を供給して被洗浄車両ＣＡを乾燥させて洗車を終了する。   When the cleaning by the rotating brush is completed, air is supplied from the top blow nozzle 21 and the side blow nozzle 22 to the vehicle CA to be cleaned to dry the vehicle CA to be washed.

本実施形態によると、高圧ポンプ３３が駆動してから所定時間経過後に電磁弁３２を開放して噴射ノズル３１から被洗浄車両ＣＡに洗浄水を噴射したので、噴射開始時において既に増圧された洗浄水を被洗浄車両ＣＡに対して噴射する。これにより、洗浄水の無駄を抑制するとともに洗浄力を向上できる洗車機ＷＡを提供できる。   According to the present embodiment, the electromagnetic valve 32 is opened after a predetermined time has elapsed since the high-pressure pump 33 is driven, and the cleaning water is injected from the injection nozzle 31 to the vehicle CA to be cleaned. Wash water is sprayed onto the vehicle to be cleaned CA. As a result, it is possible to provide a car wash machine WA that can reduce waste of washing water and improve washing power.

また、被洗浄車両ＣＡの前端に噴射ノズル３１が配されたことを検知センサ４０により検知すると、噴射ノズル３１から洗浄水の噴射を開始するため、洗浄水の無駄を抑制するとともに洗浄力を向上できる洗車機ＷＡを容易に実現できる。   In addition, when the detection sensor 40 detects that the injection nozzle 31 is disposed at the front end of the vehicle to be cleaned CA, the injection of the cleaning water is started from the injection nozzle 31, so that the cleaning water is prevented and the cleaning power is improved. Car wash machine WA which can be realized easily.

また、噴射ノズル３１により被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面を洗浄するため、被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面の洗浄力を向上できる。   Moreover, since the lower surface of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA is cleaned by the injection nozzle 31, the cleaning power for the lower surface of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA can be improved.

また、第１、第２浄水ノズル１１、１３は分配配管部５１を介して水ポンプ３６接続しているが、それに対して噴射ノズル３１は水ポンプ３６、高圧ポンプ３３、噴射ノズル３１の順で配管されているため、噴射ノズル３１は水ポンプ３６で汲み上げた後に高圧ポンプ３３で圧縮して噴射することになる。したがって、噴射ノズル３１から噴射される洗浄水の圧力が第１、第２浄水ノズル１１、１３から噴射される洗浄水の圧力よりも大きくなり、被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面の洗浄力を向上できるとともに、洗浄中の被洗浄車両ＣＡ内への騒音を低減することができる。   In addition, the first and second water purification nozzles 11 and 13 are connected to the water pump 36 via the distribution pipe portion 51, whereas the injection nozzle 31 is in the order of the water pump 36, the high pressure pump 33, and the injection nozzle 31. Since it is piped, the injection nozzle 31 is pumped by the water pump 36 and then compressed by the high-pressure pump 33 for injection. Accordingly, the pressure of the cleaning water sprayed from the spray nozzle 31 becomes larger than the pressure of the cleaning water sprayed from the first and second water purification nozzles 11 and 13, and the cleaning power of the lower surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned can be improved. Further, it is possible to reduce noise in the vehicle to be cleaned CA that is being cleaned.

また、従来の構成では、噴射ノズル３１と高圧ポンプ３３が離れていると噴射開始時における噴射圧が弱くなってしまうため、噴射ノズル３１と高圧ポンプ３３は近い距離に配置する必要があったが、本発明のおいては噴射ノズル３１と高圧ポンプ３３とが離れていても、噴射開始時において増圧された洗浄水を被洗浄車両ＣＡに対して直ぐに噴射でき、かつ高圧ポンプ３３の配設場所を比較的自由に選択可能となる。   In the conventional configuration, if the injection nozzle 31 and the high-pressure pump 33 are separated from each other, the injection pressure at the start of injection becomes weak. Therefore, the injection nozzle 31 and the high-pressure pump 33 have to be arranged at a short distance. In the present invention, even if the injection nozzle 31 and the high-pressure pump 33 are separated from each other, the wash water whose pressure has been increased at the start of injection can be immediately injected into the vehicle CA to be cleaned, and the high-pressure pump 33 is disposed. A place can be selected relatively freely.

なお、噴射ノズル３１は被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面だけでなく、側面及び上面に噴射してもよい。また、噴射ノズル３１が前後方向に移動してもよい。   The injection nozzle 31 may be injected not only on the lower surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned but also on the side surface and the upper surface. Moreover, the injection nozzle 31 may move in the front-rear direction.

本発明によると、本発明は洗浄水を噴射する噴射ノズルを備えた洗車機に利用することができる。   According to the present invention, the present invention can be used in a car wash machine provided with an injection nozzle for injecting cleaning water.
