操作パネルやリモートパネルを備える洗車機の一例について図6を用いて説明する。この洗車機WAは、複数のブラシを備える洗浄部材と、ブロワと複数の送風ノズルを備える乾燥部材とを一体に装着し、被洗浄車両CAを跨ぐように門型とされる洗車機本体1を備えた構成であり、被洗浄車両CAと洗車機本体1を前後方向に相対移動させながら、複数の貯液タンクに貯留された液剤をそれぞれ水により希釈して前記被洗浄車両へ噴霧して、前記被洗浄車両の洗車を行う。   An example of a car wash machine including an operation panel and a remote panel will be described with reference to FIG. This car wash machine WA is equipped with a car wash machine main body 1 that is integrally mounted with a cleaning member having a plurality of brushes and a drying member having a blower and a plurality of blower nozzles, and has a gate shape so as to straddle the vehicle to be cleaned CA. The liquid agent stored in a plurality of liquid storage tanks is diluted with water and sprayed onto the vehicle to be cleaned while relatively moving the vehicle to be cleaned CA and the car wash machine body 1 in the front-rear direction. The vehicle to be cleaned is washed.

例えば、洗車機本体1が、車輪3を介してレール2上に沿って走行移動する構成とし、被洗浄車両CAを、該被洗浄車両CAを跨ぐ門型とされる洗車機の左右一対のレール間の所定の位置に停車して、洗車機本体1に設置する操作パネル7もしくは洗車機本体1から離れた位置に設置するリモートパネル7Aに、所望の洗車モードを設定し、スタートボタンを操作して、洗車操作を開始する。   For example, the car wash machine main body 1 is configured to travel and move along the rails 2 via the wheels 3, and the pair of left and right rails of the car wash machine in which the vehicle to be cleaned CA is a gate type straddling the vehicle to be cleaned CA. Set the desired car wash mode on the operation panel 7 installed in the car wash machine body 1 or the remote panel 7A installed at a position away from the car wash machine body 1 and operate the start button.

門型の洗車機本体1は、被洗浄車両CAを洗浄するブラシとして、例えば、被洗浄車両CAの上面を洗浄するトップブラシ4と、被洗浄車両CAの両側面と前後面を洗浄する左右一対のサイドブラシ5と、被洗浄車両CAの両側面下部の足回りを洗浄する左右一対のロッカーブラシ6を備えている。   The portal-type car wash machine main body 1 is, for example, a top brush 4 that cleans the upper surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, and a pair of left and right surfaces that clean both side surfaces and front and rear surfaces of the vehicle CA to be cleaned. The side brush 5 and a pair of left and right rocker brushes 6 for cleaning the suspension around the lower portions of both side surfaces of the vehicle CA to be cleaned are provided.

また、ブラッシングの際に使用する洗浄水や各種液剤を噴霧する各種ノズルや各種液剤を貯液する貯液タンクを備えている。各種液剤を貯液する複数の貯液タンクは、洗車機本体1に設けられるタンク収納部50に収納されており、電磁式のバルブと副給水ホースを備える分配配管部51を介して各ノズルに分配している。液剤や洗浄水を噴霧するノズルとしては、例えば、第一浄水ノズル11、第一洗剤ノズル12、第二浄水ノズル13、撥水コートノズル14、第二洗剤ノズル15、ワックスノズル16などが配設されている。   In addition, there are provided various nozzles for spraying cleaning water and various liquid agents used for brushing and a liquid storage tank for storing various liquid agents. A plurality of liquid storage tanks for storing various liquid agents are stored in a tank storage section 50 provided in the car wash machine main body 1, and each nozzle is connected to each nozzle via a distribution pipe section 51 including an electromagnetic valve and a sub-water supply hose. Distributing. As nozzles for spraying liquid or washing water, for example, a first water purification nozzle 11, a first detergent nozzle 12, a second water purification nozzle 13, a water repellent coating nozzle 14, a second detergent nozzle 15, a wax nozzle 16 and the like are disposed. Has been.

さらに、乾燥のために、ブロワ20と該ブロワ20からの送風を吹き付ける昇降自在なトップ送風ノズル21と左右一対のサイド送風ノズル22を備えている。また、洗車機本体1に配設する操作パネル7、もしくは、洗車機本体1から離れた位置に設置するリモートパネル7Aを介して、洗車機WAの駆動条件を設定し、設定された条件に基づいて洗車機WAを駆動する構成としている。8は、被洗浄車両CAの有無および車高を検知するセンサであって、例えば、光電センサや超音波を利用したソニックセンサが好適に用いられる。   Further, for drying, a blower 20, a freely movable top blower nozzle 21 that blows blown air from the blower 20, and a pair of left and right side blower nozzles 22 are provided. In addition, the driving condition of the car wash machine WA is set via the operation panel 7 disposed in the car wash machine body 1 or the remote panel 7A installed at a position away from the car wash machine body 1, and based on the set condition. The car wash machine WA is driven. Reference numeral 8 denotes a sensor for detecting the presence / absence of the vehicle to be cleaned CA and the vehicle height, and for example, a photoelectric sensor or a sonic sensor using ultrasonic waves is preferably used.

操作パネル7やリモートパネル7Aには、水洗いモードや、洗剤を用いた洗浄モードや、ワックスを塗布するワックスモードや、撥水剤をコートする撥水モードなどの各種洗車モードを選択する選択ボタンや、ブラシの回転数を制御するブラシ回転スイッチや、スタート・ストップボタンなどが設けられている。   On the operation panel 7 and the remote panel 7A, there are selection buttons for selecting various car washing modes such as a water washing mode, a washing mode using a detergent, a wax mode for applying a wax, and a water repellent mode for coating a water repellent. A brush rotation switch for controlling the number of rotations of the brush, a start / stop button, and the like are provided.

また、洗車機本体1を、洗浄部材を備えた洗浄機本体と乾燥部材を備えた乾燥機本体との別体として、それぞれが、被洗浄車両CAを跨ぐように門型とされ、被洗浄車両CAと洗浄機本体と乾燥機本体とを前後方向に相対移動させながら、被洗浄車両CAの洗車を行う構成の洗車機も知られている。この構成であっても、各種ブラシと各種ノズルを備え、操作パネル7もしくはリモートパネル7Aを備えていることは同じである。   In addition, the car wash machine main body 1 is separated into a washing machine main body provided with a cleaning member and a dryer main body provided with a drying member, each of which has a gate shape so as to straddle the vehicle CA to be cleaned. There is also known a car wash machine configured to wash the vehicle to be cleaned CA while relatively moving the CA, the washing machine main body, and the dryer main body in the front-rear direction. Even if it is this structure, it is the same that it is provided with various brushes and various nozzles, and is provided with the operation panel 7 or the remote panel 7A.

上記した洗車機WAにおいては、被洗浄車両上部の幅方向に天井走行レールを設け、この走行レールに走行自在な走行体を左右一対設置し、この走行体のそれぞれにブラシを回転自在に吊り下げて、左右一対のサイドブラシ5を形成している。被洗浄車両CAの側面を洗浄する際には、走行体を移動して被洗浄車両の側面に回転ブラシを当接させて洗浄を行う。このとき、吊り下げ構成のサイドブラシ5であれば、左右のサイドブラシ5を車両側面の当接状態からさらに閉方向に移動して、所定の角度傾かせてそれぞれ強く押し付けるように当接して洗浄を行い洗車効果を向上させることができる。さらに、左右一対のサイドブラシ5を車両側面に強く押し当てた位置で車幅を検知して、それ以降の洗車機の各操作を制御することが行われている。   In the above-described car wash machine WA, an overhead traveling rail is provided in the width direction of the upper portion of the vehicle to be cleaned, a pair of left and right traveling bodies are installed on the traveling rail, and a brush is rotatably suspended on each of the traveling bodies. Thus, a pair of left and right side brushes 5 are formed. When cleaning the side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned CA, the traveling body is moved to perform cleaning by bringing the rotating brush into contact with the side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned. At this time, if the side brush 5 has a suspended configuration, the left and right side brushes 5 are moved further in the closing direction from the contact state of the side surface of the vehicle, and are brought into contact with each other so as to be strongly pressed at a predetermined angle. Car wash effect can be improved. Further, the vehicle width is detected at a position where the pair of left and right side brushes 5 are strongly pressed against the side of the vehicle, and subsequent operations of the car wash machine are controlled.

例えば、サイドブラシの移動距離に基づいて車両の側面の位置を認識して、サイド送風ノズルの駆動領域を制御する洗車機(例えば、特許文献1参照)や、洗浄工程中に車両の両側面の距離を検出して、側面乾燥ノズル(サイド送風ノズル)を非接触状態で近接して乾燥を行う洗車機(例えば、特許文献2参照)が既に提案されている。   For example, a car washer that recognizes the position of the side surface of the vehicle based on the movement distance of the side brush and controls the drive region of the side blowing nozzle (see, for example, Patent Document 1), or the both side surfaces of the vehicle during the cleaning process. There has already been proposed a car wash machine (for example, refer to Patent Document 2) that detects a distance and performs drying by approaching a side drying nozzle (side blowing nozzle) in a non-contact state.

特開平1−273752号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-273752 特開平1−306350号公報JP-A-1-306350

被洗浄車両の側面に左右一対のサイドブラシを当接させて洗浄を行う際に、この左右一対のサイドブラシの位置を検出して車幅を検知することは可能であり、この検知された車幅に応じてサイド送風ノズルの近接位置を制御することも可能である。   When cleaning is performed by bringing the pair of left and right side brushes into contact with the side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned, it is possible to detect the vehicle width by detecting the position of the pair of left and right side brushes. It is also possible to control the proximity position of the side blowing nozzle according to the width.

しかし、サイドブラシによる洗浄は、サイドブラシを車両の側面に押し付けた状態でブラシを回転して行う。また、このサイドブラシを車両の側面に当接させる際には、その車幅が未だ判っていない為にサイドブラシを車両側面に強く押し当てて車幅を検知する必要がある。このとき、車両のタイプや形状によってはサイドブラシ閉じ位置とドアミラー部分が重なってしまい、ドアミラーをたたんだ状態であってもサイドブラシがドアミラーに強く当り、ドアミラーを破損させる虞が生じる。   However, the cleaning with the side brush is performed by rotating the brush while pressing the side brush against the side surface of the vehicle. Further, when the side brush is brought into contact with the side surface of the vehicle, it is necessary to detect the vehicle width by strongly pressing the side brush against the side surface of the vehicle because the vehicle width is not yet known. At this time, depending on the type and shape of the vehicle, the side brush closing position and the door mirror portion overlap each other, and even when the door mirror is folded, the side brush strongly hits the door mirror, which may cause damage to the door mirror.

特に、ワゴンタイプやミニバンタイプなどのボンネットが無いか短い車両では、サイドブラシを一旦車両の側面に押し当てて車幅を検知する際にドアミラー部分に重なって問題となる。   In particular, in a short or short vehicle such as a wagon type or a minivan type, when the side brush is pressed against the side surface of the vehicle and the vehicle width is detected, it overlaps with the door mirror portion and becomes a problem.

また、ドアミラー部分を検知するセンサを用いて、このドアミラー部分を避けた位置からサイドブラシを押し付けて洗浄することも可能であるが、この方法ではセンサを設置するコストが掛かると共に、ドアミラー部分の洗浄が不十分となって洗い残しが発生するという問題が生じる。   It is also possible to use a sensor that detects the door mirror part to clean the door mirror by pressing the side brush from a position that avoids the door mirror part, but this method increases the cost of installing the sensor and cleans the door mirror part. Becomes insufficient and causes a problem of unwashed areas.

そのために、サイドブラシをドアミラー部分に強く押し当てることなく車幅を検知すると共に、ドアミラーが突出していてもサイドブラシを車両の側面に確実に当接して洗い残しを発生せずに洗浄可能な洗車機が望まれる。   For this purpose, the vehicle width can be detected without pressing the side brush against the door mirror part, and even if the door mirror protrudes, the side brush is securely brought into contact with the side surface of the vehicle and can be washed without generating any washing residue. A machine is desired.

本発明は、上記問題点に鑑み、左右一対のサイドブラシを車両の側面に押し付けて洗浄する洗車機において、サイドブラシを車両の側面に押し付ける前に車幅を検知して、サイドブラシを強く押し付け過ぎないようにして、ドアミラーが突出していても損傷せず、洗い残しも発生しない洗車機を提供することを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention is a car wash machine that presses and cleans a pair of left and right side brushes against the side of a vehicle and detects the vehicle width before pressing the side brush against the side of the vehicle and strongly presses the side brush. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a car washing machine that does not cause damage even if the door mirror protrudes, and that does not leave behind washing.

上記目的を達成するために本発明は、洗車機本体と被洗浄車両とを前後方向に相対移動させながら洗車を行う洗車機であって、被洗浄車両の足回りを洗浄する左右一対のロッカーブラシと、被洗浄車両の側面を洗浄する左右一対のサイドブラシと、を備え、前記ロッカーブラシの作動領域から被洗浄車両の車幅を割り出して、前記サイドブラシの車両側面に対する移動量を規定することを特徴としている。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a car wash machine that performs a car wash while relatively moving the car wash body and the vehicle to be cleaned in the front-rear direction, and a pair of left and right rocker brushes that wash the undercarriage of the vehicle to be cleaned. And a pair of left and right side brushes for cleaning the side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned, the vehicle width of the vehicle to be cleaned is determined from the operating region of the rocker brush, and the amount of movement of the side brush with respect to the vehicle side surface is defined. It is characterized by.

この構成によると、最初にロッカーブラシを車両の足回りに当接するときに、このロッカーブラシの作動領域から車幅を割り出してサイドブラシの車両の側面に対する移動量を規定するので、サイドブラシを強く押し付け過ぎずに確実に洗浄可能な位置に移動する制御を行うことができ、車両の側面を損傷せず洗い残しを発生しない洗車機を得ることができる。   According to this configuration, when the rocker brush is first brought into contact with the undercarriage of the vehicle, the vehicle width is determined from the operation region of the rocker brush and the movement amount of the side brush with respect to the side surface of the vehicle is regulated. It is possible to control to move to a position where it can be reliably washed without being over-pressed, and it is possible to obtain a car wash machine that does not damage the side face of the vehicle and does not generate a residue.

また本発明は、上記構成の洗車機において、前記ロッカーブラシが、支軸を中心に回動するアームにブラシ部材を回転自在に吊り下げた回動アーム型とされ、所定の付勢力を介して回動させると共に、前記アームの回動角度から被洗浄車両の車幅を割り出すことを特徴としている。この構成によると、所定の付勢力で回動する回動アーム型のロッカーブラシを車両の足回りや側面に当接させるので、車両の側面や突起物を損傷しない弱い当接力で確実に押し当てることができ、車幅を容易に割り出すことができる。   According to the present invention, in the car wash machine configured as described above, the rocker brush is a rotary arm type in which a brush member is rotatably suspended on an arm that rotates about a support shaft, and a predetermined urging force is applied thereto. While rotating, the vehicle width of the to-be-cleaned vehicle is calculated from the rotation angle of the arm. According to this configuration, the pivot arm-type rocker brush that rotates with a predetermined urging force is brought into contact with the undercarriage and the side surface of the vehicle, so that it is reliably pressed with a weak contact force that does not damage the side surface or protrusions of the vehicle. The vehicle width can be easily determined.

また本発明は、上記構成の洗車機において、前記サイドブラシが、被洗浄車両上部の幅方向に延設される天井走行レールにそれぞれ走行体を介して開閉自在に吊り下げられて、前記走行体の移動に応じて被洗浄車両の側面に当接・離反すると共に、規定される前記移動量が、左右一対のサイドブラシを被洗浄車両の側面に当接させた後さらに所定距離移動させる移動量であって、前記サイドブラシを所定角度傾斜させて洗浄することを特徴としている。この構成によると、サイドブラシを傾斜させて洗浄を行う際にも、サイドブラシの移動量を予め規定しているので、強く押し付け過ぎない構成となって、ドアミラーなどの突起物を損傷することなく確実に洗浄することができる。   Further, the present invention is the car wash machine having the above-described configuration, wherein the side brush is suspended from a ceiling travel rail extending in the width direction of the upper portion of the vehicle to be cleaned so as to be openable and closable via the travel body. In accordance with the movement of the vehicle, the specified amount of movement moves the predetermined distance after the pair of left and right side brushes contact the side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned. The cleaning is performed by inclining the side brush at a predetermined angle. According to this configuration, even when cleaning is performed with the side brush tilted, the amount of movement of the side brush is specified in advance, so that it is configured not to be pressed too strongly and without damage to projections such as door mirrors. It can be washed reliably.

また本発明は、上記構成の洗車機において、前記ロッカーブラシの被洗浄車両に対する当接力が、前記サイドブラシの被洗浄車両に対する当接力よりも弱いことを特徴としている。この構成によると、当接力が強いサイドブラシを用いて車幅を検知する必要がなく、当接力が弱いロッカーブラシの作動領域から車幅を割り出すので、車両の側面やドアミラーなどを損傷せずに車幅を容易に検知することができる。また、割り出された車幅から、当接力が強いサイドブラシの移動量を規定するので、サイドブラシを強く押し付け過ぎず確実に車両の側面に当接して洗い残しを発生せずに洗浄することができる。   According to the present invention, in the car wash machine configured as described above, the contact force of the rocker brush with respect to the vehicle to be cleaned is weaker than the contact force of the side brush with respect to the vehicle to be cleaned. According to this configuration, it is not necessary to detect the vehicle width using a side brush with a strong contact force, and the vehicle width is determined from the operating area of the rocker brush with a weak contact force. The vehicle width can be easily detected. Also, since the amount of movement of the side brush with strong contact force is specified from the determined vehicle width, the side brush is firmly pressed against the side of the vehicle without over-pressing it and washed without generating washing residue. Can do.

本発明によれば、ロッカーブラシとサイドブラシを備える洗車機において、ロッカーブラシの作動領域から被洗浄車両の車幅を割り出して、サイドブラシの車両側面に対する移動量を規定する構成としたので、最初に車両の足回りに当接させるロッカーブラシの作動領域から車幅を割り出し、割り出された車幅に応じて、強く押し付け過ぎずに確実に洗浄可能な位置にサイドブラシを移動する制御を行い、車両の側面を損傷せず洗い残しを発生しない洗車機を得ることができる。   According to the present invention, in the car wash machine including the rocker brush and the side brush, the vehicle width of the vehicle to be cleaned is determined from the operation area of the rocker brush, and the movement amount of the side brush with respect to the vehicle side surface is defined. The vehicle width is calculated from the operating region of the rocker brush that is in contact with the vehicle's undercarriage, and the side brush is controlled to move to a position where it can be washed reliably without being pressed too hard according to the calculated vehicle width. Thus, it is possible to obtain a car washing machine that does not damage the side face of the vehicle and does not generate a washing residue.

以下に本発明の実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。また、同一構成部材については同一の符号を用い、詳細な説明は適宜省略する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Moreover, the same code | symbol is used about the same structural member, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.

本実施形態の洗車機は、洗車機本体と被洗浄車両とを前後方向に相対移動させながら、被洗浄車両の洗車を行う洗車機であって、図5に示すように、車輪3を介してレール2上に沿って走行移動する門型の洗車機本体1に、被洗浄車両CAの上面を洗浄するトップブラシ4と、被洗浄車両CAの両側面と前後面を洗浄する左右一対のサイドブラシ5を備え、乾燥のために、ブロワ20と該ブロワ20からの送風を吹き付ける昇降自在なトップ送風ノズル21と左右一対のサイド送風ノズル22を備えた構成の洗車機WAである。   The car wash machine of the present embodiment is a car wash machine that performs a car wash of a vehicle to be cleaned while relatively moving the car wash main body and the vehicle to be cleaned in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. A top-type brush 4 for cleaning the upper surface of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, and a pair of left and right side brushes for cleaning both side surfaces and front and rear surfaces of the vehicle CA to be cleaned 5 is a car wash machine WA having a structure including a blower 20, a top blower nozzle 21 that can be raised and lowered, and a pair of left and right side blower nozzles 22 for blowing air from the blower 20 for drying.

また、被洗浄車両CAの足回りを洗浄するロッカーブラシ6を備えている。8Aは、車両のボンネット高さを検知するボンネット高さ検知センサであって、前述した被洗浄車両CAの有無および車高を検知するセンサ8と同様に光電式もしくは超音波式の反射型センサを用いることができる。また、これらのセンサの配設位置を考慮して一個のセンサを兼用して被洗浄車両CAの有無とボンネット高さを検知することも可能である。   Moreover, the rocker brush 6 which cleans the undercarriage of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA is provided. 8A is a bonnet height detection sensor for detecting the hood height of the vehicle, and a photoelectric or ultrasonic reflection type sensor is used in the same manner as the sensor 8 for detecting the presence / absence of the vehicle to be cleaned CA and the vehicle height. Can be used. In addition, it is possible to detect the presence / absence of the vehicle CA to be cleaned and the height of the bonnet by using one sensor in consideration of the arrangement positions of these sensors.

また、ボンネット高さ検知センサ8Aに替えて透過式光電センサからなる車形検出センサ(不図示)を用いることもできる。この場合には、洗車機本体の一方の側部の上下方向に投光器を併設し、これらの投光器に対向する他方の側部の上下方向に受光器を併設することで、洗浄位置に進入してくる被洗浄車両の車形およびボンネット高さを検知する。   Further, instead of the bonnet height detection sensor 8A, a vehicle shape detection sensor (not shown) made of a transmission type photoelectric sensor can be used. In this case, a projector is provided in the vertical direction on one side of the car wash machine main body, and a light receiver is provided in the vertical direction on the other side opposite to these projectors, thereby entering the cleaning position. It detects the vehicle shape and bonnet height of the vehicle to be cleaned.

次に、本実施形態のロッカーブラシ6について図1および図2を用いて説明する。   Next, the rocker brush 6 of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 1 and FIG.

ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)は、被洗浄車両CAの足回りを洗浄するために車両の両側面の下部に設けられる左右一対の回転ブラシであって、それぞれが支軸61を中心に回動するアーム62にブラシ部材60を回転自在に吊り下げた回動アーム型とされている。また、車両に近づく方向に所定の付勢力を付加している。   The rocker brushes 6 (6A, 6B) are a pair of left and right rotating brushes provided at the lower part of both side surfaces of the vehicle CA for cleaning the undercarriage of the vehicle CA to be cleaned. The arm 62 is a rotating arm type in which the brush member 60 is rotatably suspended. Further, a predetermined urging force is applied in a direction approaching the vehicle.

例えば、ロッカーブラシ6は、被洗浄車両CAの右側に配設される右ロッカーブラシ6Aと、左側に併設される左ロッカーブラシ6Bとを備えていて、それぞれのロッカーブラシ6A、6Bをそれぞれ被洗浄車両CAの側面下部に当接させている。そのために、これらのロッカーブラシ6A、6Bの作動領域から被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出すことができる。また、それぞれのロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)の作動領域は、それぞれのアーム62の回動角度から検知可能であるので、本実施形態では、このアーム62の回動角度から被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出す構成としている。   For example, the rocker brush 6 includes a right rocker brush 6A disposed on the right side of the vehicle CA to be cleaned and a left rocker brush 6B provided on the left side, and each of the rocker brushes 6A and 6B is cleaned. It is made to contact | abut to the side part lower part of vehicle CA. Therefore, the vehicle width of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA can be determined from the operation area of these rocker brushes 6A and 6B. Moreover, since the operation area | region of each rocker brush 6 (6A, 6B) can be detected from the rotation angle of each arm 62, in this embodiment, from the rotation angle of this arm 62, it is the vehicle CA to be cleaned. The vehicle width is determined.

例えば、図2に示すように、支軸61を回動中心として回動するアーム62の回転角度ANからブラシの移動距離Lを検出して、被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出すことができる。このように、左右一対のロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)の作動領域から被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出すことができるので、この得られた車幅に応じた位置に左右一対のサイドブラシ5を移動させて、車両の側面に適当な当接力で押し当てることが可能となる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to determine the vehicle width of the vehicle CA to be cleaned by detecting the movement distance L of the brush from the rotation angle AN of the arm 62 that rotates about the support shaft 61. Thus, since the vehicle width of the vehicle CA to be cleaned can be determined from the operation region of the pair of left and right rocker brushes 6 (6A, 6B), the pair of left and right side brushes 5 at a position corresponding to the obtained vehicle width. Can be moved and pressed against the side surface of the vehicle with an appropriate contact force.

サイドブラシ5は、図1に示す天井走行レール30に回転自在に吊り下げられた左右一対のブラシ同士を近接する方向に閉移動し、離間する方向に開移動する開閉操作が行われる。また、この開閉操作を介して被洗浄車両CAの側面に対して接離自在な構成とされている。   The side brush 5 is opened / closed by closing and moving the pair of left and right brushes, which are suspended from the overhead traveling rail 30 shown in FIG. Moreover, it is set as the structure which can be contacted / separated with respect to the side surface of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA through this opening / closing operation.

被洗浄車両CAの洗浄が開始されると、洗車機本体1が図中の矢印D1方向に移動し、先ず、ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)が矢印D3方向に回動操作されて被洗浄車両CAの足回りに当接して足回り部の洗浄を行う。このとき、ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)の作動領域から被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出すことができる。   When the cleaning of the vehicle to be cleaned CA is started, the car wash machine main body 1 moves in the direction of arrow D1 in the figure, and first, the rocker brush 6 (6A, 6B) is rotated in the direction of arrow D3 to be cleaned. The undercarriage is cleaned by coming into contact with the CA undercarriage. At this time, the vehicle width of the vehicle CA to be cleaned can be determined from the operation region of the rocker brush 6 (6A, 6B).

ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)による足回りの洗浄の後に、サイドブラシ5による側面部の洗浄を行う。この際に、洗車機本体1の矢印D1方向の走行移動と共に、サイドブラシ5を図中の矢印D2方向に閉移動して、予めロッカーブラシ6の作動領域から割り出された車幅に応じて、所望される適当な位置に移動させておくことができる。   After the suspension is washed with the rocker brush 6 (6A, 6B), the side portions are washed with the side brush 5. At this time, the side brush 5 is closed and moved in the direction of the arrow D2 in the drawing along with the traveling movement of the car wash machine body 1 in the direction of the arrow D1, and according to the vehicle width previously determined from the operating region of the rocker brush 6. , Can be moved to an appropriate position desired.

上記したように、サイドブラシ5を閉移動させる際に、予め被洗浄車両CAの車幅が割り出されているので、適当な当接力で車両の側面に当接させることができる。そのために、強く押し付け過ぎることがなく、ドアミラーなどの突起物を損傷することもない。さらに、所望される適当な当接力を発揮して洗浄を行うので、ドアミラーをたたまず突出した状態であっても洗い残しを発生せずに確実に洗浄することが可能となる。   As described above, since the vehicle width of the vehicle CA to be cleaned is determined in advance when the side brush 5 is closed and moved, the vehicle can be brought into contact with the side surface of the vehicle with an appropriate contact force. Therefore, it does not press too hard and does not damage protrusions such as door mirrors. Further, since the cleaning is performed by exerting a desired appropriate abutting force, even if the door mirror is protruded without being washed, it is possible to surely perform the cleaning without generating a washing residue.

次に、図3を用いてロッカーブラシ6の構造についてさらに詳細に説明する。   Next, the structure of the rocker brush 6 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

図3(a)に示すように、ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)は、洗車機本体1の固定壁1Aに固着される固定部材に支軸61を取り付け、この支軸61を介してアーム62を回動自在に支持する構成である。また、アーム62にシリンダー取付部64を設け、該シリンダー取付部64に、固定壁1Aに一端が支持されたシリンダー65のシャフト66を取り付けている。   As shown in FIG. 3A, the rocker brush 6 (6 </ b> A, 6 </ b> B) has a support shaft 61 attached to a fixing member that is fixed to the fixing wall 1 </ b> A of the car wash machine body 1, and an arm 62 through the support shaft 61. It is the structure which supports so that rotation is possible. A cylinder mounting portion 64 is provided on the arm 62, and a shaft 66 of a cylinder 65 whose one end is supported by the fixed wall 1A is mounted on the cylinder mounting portion 64.

そのために、シリンダー65を駆動してシャフト66を伸縮し、アーム62を実線に示す待機位置と、破線に示す作用位置とに移動させることができる。このとき、シリンダー65を、圧縮エアを供給・排出すると共に所定の付勢力を発揮するスプリング部材を用いてシャフト66を伸縮させるエアシリンダ形式とし、圧縮エアを排出しスプリング部材を介して押し出し、圧縮エアを供給してスプリング部材の付勢力に抗してシャフト66を引き込む構成としている。そのために、ロッカーブラシ6(6A、6B)を車両に当接させる際には、スプリング部材が発揮する所定の付勢力でブラシ部材60を車両に押し付けることができる。   For this purpose, the cylinder 65 can be driven to expand and contract the shaft 66, and the arm 62 can be moved to a standby position indicated by a solid line and an action position indicated by a broken line. At this time, the cylinder 65 is formed into an air cylinder type in which the shaft 66 is expanded and contracted using a spring member that supplies and discharges compressed air and exhibits a predetermined urging force, and the compressed air is discharged and extruded through the spring member for compression. The shaft 66 is retracted against the urging force of the spring member by supplying air. Therefore, when the rocker brush 6 (6A, 6B) is brought into contact with the vehicle, the brush member 60 can be pressed against the vehicle with a predetermined urging force exerted by the spring member.

また、図3(b)に示すように、ブラシ部材60は、例えば、駆動モータ67と駆動力伝達部材68を介して回転駆動される回転軸63を備える回転ブラシとされている。69は、例えば、ロータリーエンコーダであって、回動するアーム62の回転角度AN(図2参照)を検知する角度センサである。また、ロータリーエンコーダ69に代えて、その他の角度センサを用いてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the brush member 60 is, for example, a rotating brush including a rotating shaft 63 that is rotationally driven via a driving motor 67 and a driving force transmitting member 68. Reference numeral 69 denotes, for example, a rotary encoder, which is an angle sensor that detects a rotation angle AN (see FIG. 2) of the rotating arm 62. Further, instead of the rotary encoder 69, other angle sensors may be used.

上記のような構成とした右ロッカーブラシ6Aと左ロッカーブラシ6Bを、共に被洗浄車両CAの側面部に当接させたときに、それぞれが備えるロータリーエンコーダ69を介してそれぞれの回転角度ANを検知し、この検知された回転角度ANからそれぞれのロッカーブラシの移動距離L(図2参照)を検出して、被洗浄車両CAの車幅を割り出すことができる。また、割り出した車幅に応じた所定の位置に左右一対のサイドブラシ5を移動して、所定の当接力で車両の側面に当接させることができる。   When both the right rocker brush 6A and the left rocker brush 6B configured as described above are brought into contact with the side surface portion of the vehicle CA to be cleaned, the respective rotation angles AN are detected via the rotary encoder 69 provided in each. And the movement distance L (refer FIG. 2) of each rocker brush can be detected from this detected rotation angle AN, and the vehicle width of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA can be determined. Further, the pair of left and right side brushes 5 can be moved to a predetermined position according to the determined vehicle width, and can be brought into contact with the side surface of the vehicle with a predetermined contact force.

例えば、図4に示すように、走行体31を介して天井走行レール30に吊り下げ構成されているサイドブラシ5を、開位置5aから当接位置5bまで図中の矢印D2方向に閉移動し、さらに洗浄位置5cまで閉移動して所定角度傾け、少し押し付けた状態でブラシを回転して洗浄を行う。つまり、開位置5aから洗浄位置5cまでの移動量LSを予め規定しておき、この移動量の分サイドブラシ5を移動して所定角度傾かせて、車両を損傷しない安全な当接力で洗浄を行うことができる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the side brush 5 suspended from the ceiling traveling rail 30 via the traveling body 31 is closed and moved in the direction of arrow D2 in the figure from the open position 5a to the contact position 5b. Further, the cleaning position is moved to the cleaning position 5c, tilted by a predetermined angle, and the brush is rotated while being pressed slightly to perform cleaning. In other words, the movement amount LS from the open position 5a to the cleaning position 5c is defined in advance, and the side brush 5 is moved by an amount corresponding to the movement amount and tilted by a predetermined angle to perform cleaning with a safe contact force that does not damage the vehicle. It can be carried out.

また、予め設定される洗車モードに応じてサイドブラシ5の移動量を段階的に規定しておいてもよく、強い当接力が必要な場合や、弱い当接力で洗浄したい場合などの複数段階の移動量LSを予め規定しておくこともできる。   Further, the amount of movement of the side brush 5 may be specified step by step according to a preset car wash mode, and there are a plurality of steps such as when a strong contact force is required or when cleaning with a weak contact force is desired. The movement amount LS can also be defined in advance.

このように、走行体31を、開位置31Aから当接位置31Bを超えて洗浄位置31Cまで走行移動させる際に、この洗浄位置31Cを、予めロッカーブラシ6の作動領域から割り出された車幅に応じて予め規定される移動量LS移動させた位置とすることで、サイドブラシ5の車両側面に対する当接力を所定の安全な大きさに調整することができる。   Thus, when the traveling body 31 travels from the open position 31A to the cleaning position 31C beyond the contact position 31B, the cleaning position 31C is determined in advance from the operating area of the rocker brush 6. Accordingly, the contact force of the side brush 5 with respect to the side surface of the vehicle can be adjusted to a predetermined safe magnitude.

上記の構成であれば、サイドブラシ5の閉じ位置とドアミラーDM部分が重なっても、ドアミラーDMを損傷しない程度の押し付け力に予め定めておくことができ、サイドブラシを強く押し付け過ぎないようにして、ドアミラーが突出していても損傷せず、洗い残しも発生しない洗車機となって好ましい。   If it is said structure, even if the closed position of the side brush 5 and the door mirror DM part overlap, it can predetermine the pressing force of the grade which does not damage the door mirror DM, and it does not press a side brush too strongly. Even if the door mirror protrudes, it is preferable to be a car washing machine that is not damaged and does not generate a washing residue.

また、所定の付勢力で回動する回動アーム型のロッカーブラシ6を車両の足回りや側面に当接させるので、車両の側面や突起物を損傷しない弱い当接力で確実に押し当てることができる。そのために、このロッカーブラシ6を車両の側面に突出しているドアミラーや装備品などの突出物に押し当てても、例えばスプリング部材が押し込まれて退避可能となり所定の付勢力以上の押付力が付加されない構成となって、突出物に損傷を与えることがない。このように、洗浄工程の初期の段階でロッカーブラシ6を車両の足回りや側面に確実に当接させて、車両の側面や突出物に損傷を与えずに車幅を容易に割り出すことができる。   Further, since the swing arm type rocker brush 6 that rotates with a predetermined urging force is brought into contact with the undercarriage or the side surface of the vehicle, it can be reliably pressed with a weak contact force that does not damage the side surface or the projection of the vehicle. it can. Therefore, even if this rocker brush 6 is pressed against a projecting object such as a door mirror or equipment protruding from the side surface of the vehicle, for example, a spring member is pushed in and can be retracted, and a pressing force exceeding a predetermined biasing force is not applied. It becomes a structure, and a protrusion is not damaged. In this way, the vehicle width can be easily determined without damaging the side surface or the protrusion of the vehicle by reliably bringing the rocker brush 6 into contact with the underbody or side surface of the vehicle at the initial stage of the cleaning process. .

サイドブラシ5は、被洗浄車両CAの上部の幅方向に延設される天井走行レールに左右一対のブラシを吊り下げて閉方向に移動して車両の側面に押し付けて回転して洗浄を行うので、回動アーム型とされ所定の付勢力で車両に当接するロッカーブラシ6の当接力よりも強い力で押し付けられる構成である。   Since the side brush 5 hangs a pair of left and right brushes on a ceiling traveling rail extending in the width direction of the upper portion of the vehicle to be cleaned CA, moves in the closing direction, presses against the side surface of the vehicle, and rotates to perform cleaning. The rotating arm type is configured to be pressed with a force stronger than the contact force of the rocker brush 6 that contacts the vehicle with a predetermined urging force.

また、当接力が強いサイドブラシを用いずに当接力が弱いロッカーブラシの作動領域から車幅を割り出ので、車両側面やドアミラーなどを損傷せずに車幅を容易に検知可能となる。さらに、検知された車幅に応じた安全な位置にサイドブラシを移動して洗浄するので、サイドブラシを確実に車両の側面に当接して洗い残しを発生せずに洗浄することができる。   Further, since the vehicle width is determined from the operating region of the rocker brush having a weak abutting force without using the side brush having a strong abutting force, the vehicle width can be easily detected without damaging the vehicle side surface or the door mirror. Furthermore, since the side brush is moved to the safe position corresponding to the detected vehicle width and washed, the side brush can be reliably brought into contact with the side surface of the vehicle and washed without generating a washing residue.

上記したように、本実施形態に係る洗車機によれば、ロッカーブラシの作動領域から被洗浄車両の車幅を割り出して、サイドブラシの車両側面に対する移動量を規定する構成としたので、割り出した車幅に応じて、サイドブラシを車両の側面に対して強く押し付け過ぎない安全な当接力で当接させて確実に洗浄して洗い残しを発生しない洗車機を得ることができる。   As described above, according to the car wash machine according to the present embodiment, the vehicle width of the vehicle to be cleaned is determined from the operation region of the rocker brush, and the amount of movement of the side brush relative to the vehicle side surface is defined. Depending on the vehicle width, a car wash machine can be obtained in which the side brush is abutted with a safe abutment force that is not pressed too strongly against the side surface of the vehicle and is reliably washed to produce no washing residue.

また、所定の付勢力で回動する回動アーム型とされるロッカーブラシを用いて車幅を検知する構成としているので、車両を損傷しない程度の弱い当接力でロッカーブラシを押し当てて車幅を検知することができる。   In addition, since the vehicle width is detected using a rocker brush that is a rotating arm type that rotates with a predetermined urging force, the vehicle width is determined by pressing the rocker brush with a weak contact force that does not damage the vehicle. Can be detected.

さらに、車幅を検知するのにロッカーブラシのアームの回転角度を検知するセンサを用いるので、ロータリーエンコーダなどの比較的安価なセンサを用いることができ、車幅検知のコストを下げることができる。   Furthermore, since a sensor that detects the rotation angle of the arm of the rocker brush is used to detect the vehicle width, a relatively inexpensive sensor such as a rotary encoder can be used, and the cost of vehicle width detection can be reduced.

本発明に係る洗車機は、被洗浄車両の足回りを洗浄する左右一対のロッカーブラシと、被洗浄車両の側面を洗浄する左右一対のサイドブラシを備えて、比較的弱い当接力で車両に当接するロッカーブラシと、比較的強い当接力で車両に当接するサイドブラシを用いて車両の洗浄を行う洗車機に好適に適用される。   A car wash machine according to the present invention includes a pair of left and right rocker brushes for cleaning the undercarriage of a vehicle to be cleaned and a pair of left and right side brushes for cleaning a side surface of the vehicle to be cleaned. The present invention is suitably applied to a car wash machine that performs washing of a vehicle using a rocker brush that comes into contact with and a side brush that comes into contact with the vehicle with a relatively strong contact force.
