It has been.

以下に、上記した実施の形態1における作用を説明する。
洗車を行うに際して、図6の実線に示すように、両ガイド体53の両外面間が最大ガイド幅Wにある状態において、まず被洗浄車両5を洗浄位置Cに向けて進入させる。すると、車輪受け板52上に入ってきた被洗浄車両5の車輪(左右の前輪)6が誘導部53Aに当接して、両ガイド体53を引っ張りばね55の付勢力に抗して互いに接近動させ、以て両ガイド体53を被洗浄車両5の車幅(車種)に対応して自動的に移動させる。
Hereinafter, the operation in the first embodiment will be described.
When performing the car wash, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, first, the vehicle 5 to be cleaned is moved toward the cleaning position C in a state where the distance between both outer surfaces of the both guide bodies 53 is the maximum guide width W. Then, the wheels (left and right front wheels) 6 of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned that have entered the wheel receiving plate 52 come into contact with the guide portion 53A, and both guide bodies 53 move toward each other against the biasing force of the tension spring 55. Thus, both guide bodies 53 are automatically moved in accordance with the vehicle width (vehicle type) of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned.

その際に、進入してきた被洗浄車両5が車幅方向Bにおいて位置ずれしていたとき、内側に位置ずれしていた車輪6が当接した一方のガイド体53が、他方のガイド体53よりも大きく接近動することになる。これにより引っ張りばね55による付勢力は、他方のガイド体53側よりも一方のガイド体53側が大きくなり、その差によって被洗浄車両5の前部に一方側への横移動力が作用することになる。このとき車輪6が車輪受け板52上に進入していることで、その横移動力により車輪受け板52を一方側へスライド移動させ、以て両側の付勢力が均等状になることで、被洗浄車両5の車幅方向Bにおける位置ずれを自動的に修正し得る。   At this time, when the vehicle 5 to be cleaned is displaced in the vehicle width direction B, one guide body 53 with which the wheel 6 that has been displaced inward contacted is more than the other guide body 53. Will also move closer. As a result, the biasing force by the tension spring 55 is greater on the one guide body 53 side than on the other guide body 53 side, and a lateral movement force to one side acts on the front portion of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned due to the difference. Become. At this time, since the wheel 6 has entered the wheel receiving plate 52, the wheel receiving plate 52 is slid to one side by the lateral movement force, and thus the urging forces on both sides become equal, The positional deviation in the vehicle width direction B of the cleaning vehicle 5 can be automatically corrected.

そして被洗浄車両5をさらに進入させると、上述と同様にして車輪(左右の後輪)6を誘導部53Aに当接させるなどして、被洗浄車両5の後部の位置ずれを自動的に修正し得る。このようにして、修正手段51によって被洗浄車両5の車幅方向Bにおける位置ずれを自動的に修正したのち、図4の仮想線に示すように、この被洗浄車両5を、底部洗浄装置31を跨いだ状態で洗浄位置Cに停車し得る。   Then, when the vehicle 5 to be cleaned further enters, the position of the rear of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned is automatically corrected by bringing the wheels (left and right rear wheels) 6 into contact with the guiding portion 53A in the same manner as described above. Can do. In this way, after the position of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned in the vehicle width direction B is automatically corrected by the correcting means 51, the vehicle to be cleaned 5 is moved to the bottom cleaning device 31 as shown by the phantom line in FIG. Can be stopped at the washing position C.

このような位置ずれの修正を行うとき、ガイドレール57がガイド体53と一体に車幅方向Bに移動し、これに伴って、ガイドレール57に嵌合しているガイドローラ43を介して支持部材42が車幅方向Bに移動して、噴射ノズル41を一体移動させる。これにより台車体32に対して噴射ノズル41を、被洗浄車両5の車幅(車種)に対応した修正手段51の変位、すなわちガイドレール57の変位に応じて車幅方向Bに出退動でき、以て図5の実線や仮想線に示すように、車幅の異なる被洗浄車両5の車輪6の内側に、常に好適に噴射ノズル41を対向させることができる。   When correcting such misalignment, the guide rail 57 moves in the vehicle width direction B integrally with the guide body 53, and is supported through the guide roller 43 fitted to the guide rail 57. The member 42 moves in the vehicle width direction B and moves the injection nozzle 41 integrally. As a result, the injection nozzle 41 can be moved back and forth in the vehicle width direction B in accordance with the displacement of the correction means 51 corresponding to the vehicle width (vehicle type) of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned, that is, the displacement of the guide rail 57. Therefore, as shown by the solid line and the virtual line in FIG. 5, the injection nozzle 41 can always be preferably opposed to the inside of the wheel 6 of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned having different vehicle widths.

上述したように、被洗浄車両5を洗浄位置Cに停車させた状態で、運転者または作業者が操作パネル61を操作し、以て希望する一つの洗車コース(洗浄条件)が設定される。この状態で洗車スタートスイッチをオン操作することで、洗車機本体10を往復走行させながら、回転により拡がった各ブラシ18,19,20の接近離間動、洗浄水ノズル12,14を介しての水(洗浄水)の供給、洗剤ノズル13,16を介しての希釈した洗剤の供給、撥水コート剤ノズル15を介しての希釈した撥水コート剤の供給、ワックスノズル17を介しての希釈したワックスの供給、ならびに各ノズル21,22からの乾燥用空気(風)の噴出し(吹き付け)、などを適宜に組合せて作動させ、以て被洗浄車両5の前面5a、両側面5b、後面5cと、上面5dとに対する所期の基本的な洗浄工程と乾燥工程とが行えることになる。このような洗車工程を遂行する際に、車高センサーや適宜の検出手段により車高や車長などが検出され、制御装置62などを介して、前述した各作動部が好適に作動される。   As described above, in the state where the vehicle 5 to be cleaned is stopped at the cleaning position C, the driver or the operator operates the operation panel 61 to set one desired car washing course (cleaning condition). By turning on the car wash start switch in this state, the brush 18, 19, 20 spreads by rotation while the car wash machine body 10 reciprocates, and the water through the wash water nozzles 12, 14 is moved. Supply of (washing water), supply of diluted detergent through detergent nozzles 13, 16, supply of diluted water repellent coating agent through water repellent coating agent nozzle 15, dilution through wax nozzle 17 The front surface 5a, both side surfaces 5b, and the rear surface 5c of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned are operated by appropriately combining the supply of wax and the ejection (blowing) of drying air (wind) from the nozzles 21 and 22. Thus, the basic cleaning process and the drying process for the upper surface 5d can be performed. When performing such a car washing process, the vehicle height, the vehicle length, and the like are detected by a vehicle height sensor and appropriate detection means, and the above-described operating units are preferably operated via the control device 62 and the like.

そして、洗車機本体10の往復走行に同期状として台車体32を往復移動させて、底部洗浄装置31による被洗浄車両5の下面(底部)5eと車輪内側6aとに対する洗浄が行われる。すなわち、洗車機本体10の前方への往走行開始に相前後して、往復動装置44の駆動によって回動体47を回動させ、図1に示すように、後部に待機していた台車体32を洗車機本体10に同期状として往移動させる。そして洗車機本体10側の車両位置センサーによる被洗浄車両5の前部の位置把握(データ)に基づいて、洗浄水ノズル39から下面(底部)5eに向けて洗浄水を噴射させるとともに、ブラシ駆動部37の駆動により底面用ブラシ35を横方向軸心36Aの回りに回転させることで、回転により拡がった底面用ブラシ35により下面(底部)5eの洗浄を行うことができる。このような底面用ブラシ35を横方向軸心36Aの回りに回転させてのブラッシング洗浄により、被洗浄車両5の下面(底部)5eの汚れを確実に落とすことができ、以て下面(底部)5eの洗浄を常に十分に行うことができる。   Then, the base body 32 is reciprocated in synchronism with the reciprocating travel of the car wash machine body 10, and the bottom surface cleaning device 31 cleans the lower surface (bottom portion) 5e of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned and the wheel inner side 6a. That is, the rotating body 47 is rotated by driving the reciprocating device 44 before and after the start of the forward traveling of the car wash machine body 10, and as shown in FIG. Are moved to the car wash machine body 10 in a synchronized manner. And based on the position grasp (data) of the front part of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned by the vehicle position sensor on the car wash machine main body 10 side, the cleaning water is jetted from the cleaning water nozzle 39 toward the lower surface (bottom part) 5e, and the brush is driven. By rotating the bottom surface brush 35 around the lateral axis 36A by driving the portion 37, the bottom surface (bottom) 5e can be cleaned by the bottom surface brush 35 expanded by the rotation. By such brushing cleaning by rotating the bottom surface brush 35 around the horizontal axis 36A, the lower surface (bottom portion) 5e of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned can be surely cleaned, and hence the lower surface (bottom portion). The washing of 5e can always be sufficiently performed.

また、車輪6にロッカーブラシ19を作用させるデータに基づいて、車輪内側6aに対向したときに噴射ノズル39から洗浄水(高圧水)を噴射させることで、図5に示すように、従来では洗浄できなかった被洗浄車両5の車輪内側(タイヤハウス)6aも好適に高圧洗浄することができる。その際に、台車体32に対して噴射ノズル41を、被洗浄車両5の車幅(車種)に対応した修正手段51の変位に応じて車幅方向Bに出退動させることで、車幅の異なる複数種の被洗浄車両5の車輪内側6aに、常に好適に噴射ノズル41を対向させて高圧洗浄することができる。   Also, based on the data that causes the rocker brush 19 to act on the wheel 6, the cleaning water (high pressure water) is sprayed from the spray nozzle 39 when facing the wheel inner side 6a, as shown in FIG. The wheel inner side (tire house) 6a of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned which has not been able to be cleaned can also be suitably washed with high pressure. At that time, the injection nozzle 41 is moved back and forth in the vehicle width direction B in accordance with the displacement of the correction means 51 corresponding to the vehicle width (vehicle type) of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned. It is possible to always carry out high-pressure cleaning with the injection nozzle 41 facing the wheel inner side 6a of the different types of vehicles 5 to be cleaned which are different from each other.

なお底部洗浄装置31による被洗浄車両5の下面(底部)5eの洗浄は、洗車機本体10側の車両位置センサーによる被洗浄車両5の後部の位置把握(データ)に基づいて、車長全域に行ったのち停止される。そして台車体32は、洗車機本体10の復走行に同期状として復移動され、以て図2、図4に示すように、後部の待機位置に戻される。   The bottom cleaning device 31 cleans the lower surface (bottom) 5e of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned over the entire vehicle length based on the position (data) of the rear of the vehicle 5 to be cleaned by the vehicle position sensor on the car wash machine body 10 side. Stopped after going. Then, the carriage 32 is moved back in synchronism with the backward running of the car wash machine main body 10 and thus returned to the rear standby position as shown in FIGS.

上記した実施の形態1では、洗車機本体10のみを移動させることで、洗車機本体10と被洗浄車両5を相対移動させて、被洗浄車両5の洗車を行う形式が示されているが、これは洗車機本体10を固定状態とし、ローラコンベヤ(車両移動手段)を用いて被洗浄車両5を前後、または一方に移動させて、相対移動するようにした形式などであってもよく、この場合に底部洗浄装置31は定置形式などであってもよい。また、洗車機本体10を、洗浄手段を備えた前部本体と乾燥手段を備えた後部本体とに分離し、これら前部本体と後部本体とを各別に移動可能とした形式などであってもよい。   In the above-described first embodiment, the car wash machine main body 10 and the vehicle to be cleaned 5 are relatively moved by moving only the car wash machine main body 10, and the car wash of the vehicle to be cleaned 5 is shown. This may be a type in which the car wash machine body 10 is in a fixed state, and the vehicle 5 to be cleaned is moved back and forth or one side using a roller conveyor (vehicle moving means) so as to move relatively. In some cases, the bottom cleaning device 31 may be a stationary type or the like. Further, the car wash machine main body 10 may be divided into a front main body provided with a cleaning means and a rear main body provided with a drying means, and the front main body and the rear main body may be separately movable. Good.
