図５は車輪１００の一例を示す正面図である。車輪１００はホイール１０２の周囲にタイヤ１０１が配される。ホイール１０２には複数の開口部１０２ａが設けられる場合と、ホイールキャップにより覆われて開口部１０２ａが設けられない場合がある。   FIG. 5 is a front view showing an example of the wheel 100. In the wheel 100, a tire 101 is arranged around the wheel 102. The wheel 102 may be provided with a plurality of openings 102a, or may be covered with a wheel cap and the openings 102a may not be provided.

開口部１０２ａが設けられる場合にはリモートパネル７Ａのユーザ操作によって「開口部有」の設定が行われる。また、開口部１０２ａが設けられない場合にはリモートパネル７Ａのユーザ操作によって「開口部なし」の設定が行われる。   When the opening 102a is provided, the setting of “opening” is performed by the user operation of the remote panel 7A. When the opening 102a is not provided, “no opening” is set by a user operation on the remote panel 7A.

上記構成の洗車機ＷＡにおいて、ユーザが運転して被洗浄車両ＣＡをリモートパネル７Ａの面前で停車させ、被洗浄車両ＣＡの洗車条件の設定を被洗浄車両ＣＡ内から行う。図６はホイール洗浄ブラシ６の側面図を示している。ユーザは洗車条件を設定する際、車輪１００に開口部１０２ａ（図５参照）が設けられている場合には「開口部有」の設定を行う。   In the car wash machine WA having the above-described configuration, the user drives to stop the vehicle to be cleaned CA in front of the remote panel 7A, and sets the car wash conditions for the vehicle to be cleaned CA from within the vehicle to be cleaned CA. FIG. 6 shows a side view of the wheel cleaning brush 6. When the user sets the car wash conditions, the user sets “open” if the wheel 100 is provided with the opening 102a (see FIG. 5).

洗車条件を設定した後、ユーザは所定の洗浄開始位置まで被洗浄車両ＣＡを移動させる。そして、洗車機本体１が前後方向に移動して被洗浄車両ＣＡを跨ぎ、各回転ブラシや送風ブロアによって洗浄及び乾燥が行われる。   After setting the car wash conditions, the user moves the to-be-washed vehicle CA to a predetermined washing start position. And the car-washing machine main body 1 moves to the front-back direction, straddles the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA, and washing | cleaning and drying are performed by each rotary brush and an air blower.

また、洗車機本体１の前進によって、ホイール洗浄ブラシ６の面前に被洗浄車両ＣＡの車輪１００が配されると、洗車機本体１の前進は一時的に停止される。この時、リモートパネル７Ａにより「開口部有」に設定されている場合には、ホイール洗浄ブラシ６を矢印Ｄ（図４参照）の方向に往復移動させる往復洗浄動作が行われる。   Further, when the wheel 100 of the vehicle to be cleaned CA is arranged in front of the wheel cleaning brush 6 by the advance of the car wash machine main body 1, the advance of the car wash machine main body 1 is temporarily stopped. At this time, when the remote panel 7A is set to “with opening”, a reciprocating cleaning operation is performed in which the wheel cleaning brush 6 is reciprocated in the direction of arrow D (see FIG. 4).

往復洗浄動作は支持部６ｂの回転を停止し、ブラシ本体６ａを毛先面６ｄが回転軸Ｃに対して所定の角度θ（図４参照）だけ傾斜した揺動位置で固定される。   In the reciprocating cleaning operation, the rotation of the support portion 6b is stopped, and the brush body 6a is fixed at the swing position where the hair end surface 6d is inclined with respect to the rotation axis C by a predetermined angle θ (see FIG. 4).

そして、洗車機本体１はホイール洗浄ブラシ６を水平方向（矢印Ｄ）に往復移動させる往復洗浄動作を複数回行う。これにより、図６に示すようにブラシ毛６ｃの先端６ｅが開口部１０２ａの周壁１０２ｂに当接し、周壁１０２ｂが洗浄される。   Then, the car wash machine main body 1 performs a reciprocating washing operation for reciprocating the wheel washing brush 6 in the horizontal direction (arrow D) a plurality of times. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip 6e of the brush bristles 6c comes into contact with the peripheral wall 102b of the opening 102a, and the peripheral wall 102b is cleaned.

その後、支持部６ｂを所定の回転角度（本実施形態では３０゜）だけ回転して停止し、この回転位置でホイール洗浄ブラシ６の往復移動を所定回数行う。この動作を支持部６ｂが１回転するまで繰り返し行う。複数の回転位置でホイール洗浄ブラシ６を往復移動することにより、周壁１０２ｂの全周を洗浄することができる。   Thereafter, the support portion 6b is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle (30 ° in this embodiment) and stopped, and the wheel cleaning brush 6 is reciprocated a predetermined number of times at this rotation position. This operation is repeated until the support portion 6b rotates once. By reciprocating the wheel cleaning brush 6 at a plurality of rotational positions, the entire periphery of the peripheral wall 102b can be cleaned.

そして、洗車機本体１は往復洗浄動作の後に連続し、図７に示すように毛先面６ｄを鉛直に配してホイール洗浄ブラシ６を回転させる回転洗浄動作を行う。これにより、ブラシ毛６ｃの先端６ｅがタイヤ１０１及びホイール１０２の表面を洗浄する。なお、回転洗浄動作は往復洗浄動作の前に行ってもよい。   The car wash machine main body 1 continues after the reciprocating cleaning operation, and performs a rotational cleaning operation in which the hair cleaning surface 6d is arranged vertically and the wheel cleaning brush 6 is rotated as shown in FIG. Thereby, the tip 6e of the brush bristles 6c cleans the surfaces of the tire 101 and the wheel 102. The rotational cleaning operation may be performed before the reciprocating cleaning operation.

また、リモートパネル７Ａにより「開口部なし」に設定されている場合には、往復洗浄動作が省かれ、回転洗浄動作が行われる。   When “no opening” is set by the remote panel 7A, the reciprocating cleaning operation is omitted, and the rotary cleaning operation is performed.

本実施形態によると、ホイール洗浄ブラシ６の回転を停止してブラシ毛６ｃの毛先面６ｄが傾斜した状態で往復移動する往復洗浄動作を行う。このため、車輪１００のホイール１０２の開口部１０２ａの周壁１０２ｂにブラシ毛６ｃが当接し、開口部１０２ａの周壁１０２ｂの洗い残しを低減することができる。   According to the present embodiment, a reciprocating cleaning operation is performed in which the rotation of the wheel cleaning brush 6 is stopped and the brush tip 6d of the brush bristles 6c is reciprocated while being inclined. For this reason, the brush bristles 6c abut on the peripheral wall 102b of the opening 102a of the wheel 102 of the wheel 100, and the remaining washing of the peripheral wall 102b of the opening 102a can be reduced.

また、往復洗浄動作が、ホイール洗浄ブラシ６を複数の回転位置に配してそれぞれの回転位置で往復移動を所定回数行うため、周壁１０２ｂの全周が洗浄され洗い残しをより低減することができる。   Further, since the reciprocating cleaning operation arranges the wheel cleaning brush 6 at a plurality of rotational positions and performs reciprocating movements at the respective rotational positions a predetermined number of times, the entire periphery of the peripheral wall 102b is cleaned and the remaining washing can be further reduced. .

また、車輪１００のホイール１０２の開口部１０２ａの有無を入力するリモートパネル（操作部）７Ａを備え、開口部１０２ａを有するときに往復洗浄動作を行い、開口部１０２ａが無いときに往復洗浄動作が省かれる。これにより、開口部１０２ａが無い場合に洗浄時間を短縮することができる。   Further, a remote panel (operation unit) 7A for inputting the presence / absence of the opening 102a of the wheel 102 of the wheel 100 is provided, and the reciprocating cleaning operation is performed when the opening 102a is provided, and the reciprocating cleaning operation is performed when the opening 102a is not provided. Be omitted. Thereby, when there is no opening part 102a, cleaning time can be shortened.

本発明によると、被洗浄車両の車輪を洗浄するホイール洗浄ブラシを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 the wheel washing brush which wash | cleans the wheel of a to-be-washed vehicle.
