And based on the detection result of each sensor, the nozzle opening 21a of the top ventilation nozzle 21 moves to the upper surface vicinity of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA, and the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA is dried by the ventilation of the top ventilation nozzle 21. Further, the side surface of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA is dried by blowing air from the side blowing nozzle 22.

本実施形態によると、アーム部材７１ｂの回動によって持ち上げられるブラシ本体７１ａが洗車機本体１の前方に突出して被洗浄車両ＣＡの後部を洗浄し、アーム部材７２ｂの回動によって持ち上げられるブラシ本体７２ａが洗車機本体ＣＡの後方に突出して被洗浄車両ＣＡの前部を洗浄する。このため、第１トップブラシ７１及び第２トップブラシ７２をアーム部材７１ｂ、７２ｂの回動によって簡単な構成で上下移動させることができる。従って、洗車機本体１を小型化することができる。   According to this embodiment, the brush main body 71a lifted by the rotation of the arm member 71b protrudes forward of the car wash machine main body 1, cleans the rear portion of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, and is raised by the rotation of the arm member 72b. Protrudes rearward of the car wash machine main body CA and cleans the front portion of the vehicle CA to be cleaned. For this reason, the 1st top brush 71 and the 2nd top brush 72 can be moved up and down by simple composition by rotation of arm members 71b and 72b. Therefore, the car wash machine main body 1 can be reduced in size.

また、アーム部材７１ｂが案内部２１ｂと側面投影において一部が重なるように配置されたため、洗車機本体１の前後方向の大きさを小さくすることができる。   Moreover, since the arm member 71b is disposed so as to partially overlap the guide portion 21b in the side projection, the size of the car wash machine body 1 in the front-rear direction can be reduced.

また、案内部２１ｂが洗車機本体１の前部に設けられるとともに、第１回動軸７２ｃが案内部２１ｂに対してスタンド部９０の正面９０ａの反対側に配されため、洗車機本体１の前後方向の大きさをより小さくすることができる。   In addition, the guide portion 21b is provided at the front portion of the car wash machine body 1, and the first rotating shaft 72c is disposed on the opposite side of the front surface 90a of the stand portion 90 with respect to the guide portion 21b. The size in the front-rear direction can be further reduced.

本発明によると、被洗浄車両の上面を洗浄するトップブラシを複数備えた洗車機に利用することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it can utilize for the car wash machine provided with two or more top brushes which wash | clean the upper surface of a to-be-washed vehicle.
