As a result, high-pressure cleaning water W2 (see FIG. 4) is injected upward from the injection nozzle 33a, and the lower surface of the vehicle to be cleaned CA can be cleaned.

上記構成の洗車機ＷＡにおいて、リモートパネル７Ａから所定の洗車設定を行い所定の位置に被洗浄車両ＣＡを停止させる。図４〜図７は洗車機ＷＡの側面図を示している。図４に示すように洗車機ＷＡの洗車機本体１は洗車開始位置Ｓ１に配置され、被洗浄車両ＣＡが洗車機本体１の入口面１ａに面した所定位置に停車すると洗車が開始される。   In the car washer WA configured as described above, a predetermined car wash setting is performed from the remote panel 7A, and the vehicle to be cleaned CA is stopped at a predetermined position. 4 to 7 show side views of the car washer WA. As shown in FIG. 4, when the car wash machine main body 1 of the car wash machine WA is disposed at the car wash start position S 1, when the vehicle to be cleaned CA stops at a predetermined position facing the inlet surface 1 a of the car wash machine 1, car wash starts.

洗車が開始されると、下面洗浄が選択されている場合は下面洗浄装置３２から洗浄水Ｗ２が噴射される。続いて、洗車機本体１が矢印Ａ１に示すように被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に向かって移動する往路洗浄工程が行われる。   When the car wash is started, the wash water W2 is jetted from the lower surface washing device 32 when the lower surface washing is selected. Subsequently, an outward cleaning step is performed in which the car wash machine body 1 moves toward the rear of the vehicle to be cleaned CA as indicated by the arrow A1.

往路洗浄工程では第１、第２洗剤ノズル１２、１５から洗剤を噴射し、被洗浄車両ＣＡの前面、側面及び後面をサイドブラシ５により洗浄して上面をトップブラシ４により洗浄する。この時、装備品の有無によってサイドブラシ５やトップブラシ４の回転数の調整等が行われる。また、洗車機本体１の移動によって車両形状センサ９は被洗浄車両ＣＡの形状や車長の検出を開始する。   In the forward path cleaning step, the detergent is sprayed from the first and second detergent nozzles 12 and 15, and the front, side and rear faces of the vehicle to be cleaned CA are cleaned by the side brush 5, and the upper surface is cleaned by the top brush 4. At this time, the number of rotations of the side brush 5 and the top brush 4 is adjusted depending on the presence or absence of the accessory. Further, the vehicle shape sensor 9 starts detection of the shape and vehicle length of the vehicle to be cleaned CA by the movement of the car wash machine main body 1.

サイドブラシ５により被洗浄車両ＣＡの後面を洗浄すると、図５に示すように洗車機本体１が停止して往路洗浄工程が終了する。この時、下面洗浄装置３２による洗浄が停止される。また、車両形状センサ９が被洗浄車両ＣＡの後端を通過して被洗浄車両ＣＡの形状の検出を完了する。これにより、洗車機本体１は被洗浄車両ＣＡがどのような車種のグループに属しているかを被洗浄車両ＣＡの車高等から判別する。例えば、被洗浄車両ＣＡがセダンタイプのグループに属するか、トラックタイプのグループに属するか、ミニバンタイプのグループに属するかを判別する。   When the rear surface of the vehicle to be cleaned CA is cleaned by the side brush 5, as shown in FIG. 5, the car wash machine main body 1 is stopped and the forward cleaning step is completed. At this time, the cleaning by the lower surface cleaning device 32 is stopped. Further, the vehicle shape sensor 9 passes the rear end of the vehicle to be cleaned CA to complete the detection of the shape of the vehicle to be cleaned CA. Thereby, the car wash machine main body 1 determines which vehicle type group the vehicle to be cleaned CA belongs to from the height of the vehicle to be cleaned CA. For example, it is determined whether the vehicle to be cleaned CA belongs to a sedan type group, a truck type group, or a minivan type group.

次に、洗車機本体１が矢印Ａ２に示すように被洗浄車両ＣＡの前方に向かって移動する復路洗浄工程が行われる。復路洗浄工程では第１、第２浄水ノズル１１、１３から浄水を噴射してサイドブラシ５及びトップブラシ４により洗浄を行い、洗剤を洗い流す。この時、洗車条件に応じて撥水コート剤やワックスが噴射される。   Next, a return path cleaning process is performed in which the car wash machine body 1 moves toward the front of the vehicle to be cleaned CA as shown by the arrow A2. In the return path cleaning process, clean water is injected from the first and second water purification nozzles 11 and 13 and the side brush 5 and the top brush 4 perform cleaning to wash away the detergent. At this time, a water repellent coating agent or wax is jetted according to the car wash condition.

サイドブラシ５によって被洗浄車両ＣＡの前面を洗浄して復路洗浄工程が終了すると、図６に示すように洗車機本体１は被洗浄車両ＣＡの前方に配される。   When the return stroke cleaning process is completed by cleaning the front of the vehicle to be cleaned CA by the side brush 5, the car wash machine main body 1 is disposed in front of the vehicle to be cleaned CA as shown in FIG.

次に、洗車機本体１は矢印Ａ１に示すように被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に向かって移動し、乾燥工程が行われる。乾燥工程ではトップ送風ノズル２１及びサイド送風ノズル２２から送風して被洗浄車両ＣＡの乾燥が行われる。   Next, the car wash machine body 1 moves toward the rear of the vehicle to be cleaned CA as shown by the arrow A1, and the drying process is performed. In the drying step, the vehicle to be cleaned CA is dried by blowing air from the top air blowing nozzle 21 and the side air blowing nozzle 22.

車両形状センサ９の検知による被洗浄車両ＣＡの車長に基づいて、トップ送風ノズル２１及びサイド送風ノズル２２が被洗浄車両ＣＡの後端まで送風すると乾燥工程が終了する。これにより、洗車機本体１による洗車が終了し、図７に示すように洗車機本体１が被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に配される。そして、被洗浄車両ＣＡは前進して洗車機本体１の出口面１ｂ側から退出する。   When the top air blowing nozzle 21 and the side air blowing nozzle 22 blow air to the rear end of the vehicle to be cleaned CA based on the length of the vehicle to be cleaned CA detected by the vehicle shape sensor 9, the drying process is finished. Thereby, the car wash by the car wash machine main body 1 is completed, and as shown in FIG. 7, the car wash machine main body 1 is disposed behind the vehicle to be cleaned CA. Then, the vehicle to be cleaned CA advances and exits from the exit surface 1 b side of the car wash machine body 1.

被洗浄車両ＣＡが退出すると、洗車機本体１は矢印Ａ２に示すように洗車開始位置Ｓ１に向かって移動する。この時、洗車機本体１が移動を開始して所定時間が経過すると、土間洗浄部４１の噴射ノズル４１ａから高圧の洗浄水Ｗ１が走行路Ｒに向けて噴射される。これにより、被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面やタイヤから脱落した土や泥が残る走行路Ｒが土間洗浄部４１によって洗浄される。尚、土間洗浄部４１の噴射ノズル４１ａから噴射される洗浄水Ｗ１に洗剤を含有してもよい。これにより、土間洗浄部４１の洗浄力を向上することができる。   When the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA leaves, the car wash machine body 1 moves toward the car wash start position S1 as shown by the arrow A2. At this time, when a predetermined time has passed since the car wash machine body 1 started to move, high-pressure washing water W1 is jetted toward the traveling path R from the jet nozzle 41a of the soil washing unit 41. As a result, the traveling path R in which soil or dirt that has fallen off from the lower surface or the tire of the vehicle to be cleaned CA remains is cleaned by the soil cleaning unit 41. A detergent may be contained in the wash water W1 jetted from the jet nozzle 41a of the soil washing unit 41. As a result, the cleaning power of the soil cleaning unit 41 can be improved.

洗車機本体１が洗車開始位置Ｓ１に復帰すると土間洗浄部４１による洗浄を終了し、次の洗車が行われる。   When the car wash machine body 1 returns to the car wash start position S1, the washing by the soil washing section 41 is finished, and the next car wash is performed.

土間洗浄部４１は洗車機本体１の入口面１ａ側に配置されるため、乾燥工程の終了時に被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に配される。これにより、退出前の被洗浄車両ＣＡの下方を確実に洗浄することができる。また、洗車開始位置Ｓ１に復帰する洗車機本体１が移動を開始して所定時間が経過し、退出前の被洗浄車両ＣＡの後端位置に接近すると噴射ノズル４１ａから洗浄水Ｗ１が噴射される。これにより、洗車中に停車した被洗浄車両ＣＡの下方以外の領域に噴射される洗浄水Ｗ１を削減し、節水を図ることができる。   Since the soil-to-earth washing section 41 is disposed on the inlet surface 1a side of the car wash machine main body 1, it is disposed behind the vehicle to be washed CA at the end of the drying process. Thereby, the lower part of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA before leaving can be reliably cleaned. Further, when the car wash machine main body 1 returning to the car wash start position S1 starts moving and a predetermined time elapses, and approaches the rear end position of the vehicle to be washed CA before leaving, the washing water W1 is jetted from the jet nozzle 41a . As a result, the flush water W1 injected to the area other than the area under the vehicle to be cleaned CA stopped during the car wash can be reduced, and water saving can be achieved.

また、土間洗浄部４１による洗浄時に洗車機本体１は被洗浄車両ＣＡの形状に基づいて判別される車種に応じて異なる速度で移動する。例えば、泥や土が付着している可能性が高い軽トラック等のトラックタイプと判別された場合には、セダンタイプと判別された場合よりも洗車機本体１の移動速度が遅くなっている。   In addition, at the time of cleaning by the soil clearance cleaning unit 41, the car wash machine main body 1 moves at different speeds according to the vehicle type determined based on the shape of the vehicle to be cleaned CA. For example, when it is determined that the truck type is a light truck or the like that is highly likely to be attached with mud or soil, the moving speed of the car wash body 1 is slower than when it is determined as a sedan type.

また、外気温が低い冬季には被洗浄車両ＣＡの下面やタイヤに土や泥に加えて雪塊が付着して走行路Ｒ上に脱落する。このため、温度センサ４５により検知した外気温が所定温度（例えば０℃）よりも低い場合に高い場合よりも土間洗浄部４１による洗浄時の洗車機本体１の移動速度を遅くしている。これにより、走行路Ｒをより確実に洗浄することができる。冬季に土間洗浄部４１の噴射ノズル４１ａから噴射される洗浄水Ｗ１に不凍剤を含有してもよい。これにより、走行路Ｒの凍結を防止することができる。   Further, in winter when the outside air temperature is low, in addition to soil and mud, snow lumps adhere to the lower surface of the vehicle to be cleaned CA and the tires, and fall on the traveling path R. Therefore, the moving speed of the car wash main body 1 at the time of cleaning by the inter-earth soil cleaning unit 41 is made slower than when the outside air temperature detected by the temperature sensor 45 is higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, 0 ° C.). Thereby, the traveling path R can be cleaned more reliably. An antifreeze may be contained in the washing water W1 jetted from the jet nozzle 41a of the soil washing section 41 in winter. Thereby, freezing of runway R can be prevented.

尚、下面洗浄装置３２による洗浄が行われると、土や泥が走行路Ｒ上の広い範囲に飛散して次の被洗浄車両ＣＡのタイヤに付着し易くなる。このため、下面洗浄装置３２による洗浄が行われた場合に土間洗浄部４１による洗浄を行い、下面洗浄装置３２による洗浄が行われていない場合に土間洗浄部４１による洗浄を停止してもよい。これにより、節水を図ることができる。   In addition, when the cleaning by the lower surface cleaning device 32 is performed, soil and mud scatter in a wide range on the traveling path R and easily adhere to the tire of the next vehicle to be cleaned CA. For this reason, when the cleaning by the lower surface cleaning device 32 is performed, the cleaning by the soil cleaning unit 41 may be performed, and when the cleaning by the lower surface cleaning device 32 is not performed, the cleaning by the soil cleaning unit 41 may be stopped. This can save water.

本実施形態によると、洗車機本体１が洗車終了時に被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に配され、被洗浄車両ＣＡの退出により洗車開始位置Ｓ１に復帰する際に土間洗浄部４１による走行路Ｒの洗浄を行う。このため、走行路Ｒの美観を向上するとともに、次の洗車を行う被洗浄車両に土や泥が付着することを防止して顧客満足度を向上することができる。   According to the present embodiment, the car wash machine main body 1 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle to be washed CA at the end of the car wash, and is returned to the car wash start position S1 by the withdrawal of the vehicle to be washed CA. I do. For this reason, while improving the aesthetics of the traveling path R, it is possible to prevent the soil and the mud from adhering to the vehicle to be cleaned which is to be subjected to the next car wash, and to improve the customer satisfaction.

また、下面洗浄装置３２による洗浄が行われた場合に土間洗浄部４１による洗浄を行うと、節水を図ることができる。   Moreover, when cleaning by the lower surface cleaning device 32 is performed, water cleaning can be achieved by performing the cleaning by the soil cleaning unit 41.

また、土間洗浄部４１が洗車機本体１の入口面１ａ側に配されるため、乾燥工程の終了時に被洗浄車両ＣＡの後方に配される。これにより、退出前の被洗浄車両ＣＡの下方を確実に洗浄することができる。   In addition, since the soil-to-earth washing unit 41 is disposed on the inlet surface 1a side of the car wash machine main body 1, it is disposed behind the vehicle to be cleaned CA at the end of the drying step. Thereby, the lower part of the to-be-cleaned vehicle CA before leaving can be reliably cleaned.

また、洗車開始位置Ｓ１に復帰する洗車機本体１が移動を開始して退出前の被洗浄車両ＣＡの後端位置に接近すると土間洗浄部４１による洗浄が開始される。これにより、洗車中に停車した被洗浄車両ＣＡの下方以外の領域に噴射される洗浄水Ｗ１を削減し、節水を図ることができる。   Further, when the car wash machine main body 1 returning to the car wash start position S1 starts moving and approaches the rear end position of the vehicle to be washed CA before leaving, the cleaning by the soil cleaning unit 41 is started. As a result, the flush water W1 injected to the area other than the area under the vehicle to be cleaned CA stopped during the car wash can be reduced, and water saving can be achieved.

また、被洗浄車両ＣＡの形状に基づいて判別される車種に応じて洗車機本体１が異なる速度で移動する。これにより、泥等が付着しやすい軽トラック等の場合には洗車機本体１の移動速度を遅くし、走行路Ｒをより確実に洗浄することができる。   Further, the car wash machine body 1 moves at different speeds according to the type of vehicle determined based on the shape of the vehicle to be cleaned CA. As a result, in the case of a light truck or the like to which mud or the like easily adheres, the traveling speed of the car wash machine main body 1 can be reduced, and the traveling path R can be cleaned more reliably.

また、外気温が所定温度よりも低い場合に高い場合よりも土間洗浄部４１による洗浄時の洗車機本体１の移動速度を遅くした。これにより、走行路Ｒに雪塊や泥が付着しやすい冬季に走行路Ｒをより確実に洗浄することができる。   In addition, the moving speed of the car wash body 1 at the time of cleaning by the inter-soil cleaning unit 41 is made slower than when the outside air temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature and higher. As a result, it is possible to clean the traveling route R more reliably in the winter season when snow lumps and mud easily adhere to the traveling route R.

本実施形態において、洗車機本体１が１．５往復して洗浄部及び乾燥部による洗車が行われるが、０．５往復（往路のみ）して洗車を行う洗車機であってもよい。   In the present embodiment, a car wash is performed by the washing unit and the drying unit by 1.5 reciprocations of the car wash body 1. However, the car wash may be performed by 0.5 reciprocations (only on the outward route).

本発明によると、被洗浄車両に対して前後に移動する洗車機本体を備えた洗車機及び洗車方法に利用することができる。   According to the present invention, the present invention can be used for a car wash machine and a car wash method provided with a car wash machine main body moving back and forth with respect to a vehicle to be washed.
