といった事故は回避される。According to the structure of the second aspect of the invention, the vehicle to be washed, which has got into the starting end portion of the transport device, is transported toward the car wash machine main body by the drive portion of each divided transport device being positively driven. When the vehicle to be cleaned is eventually conveyed to the front end of the car wash machine body, the vehicle height detection device detects the vehicle height of the vehicle to be cleaned. If the detected vehicle height is higher than the predetermined value,
It is judged that the height of the vehicle to be washed exceeds the car wash allowable range,
The control unit drives the drive unit of the divisional conveyance device at the vehicle height detection position and the drive unit of the divisional conveyance device connected to the start end side of the division conveyance device in reverse. As a result, the vehicle to be cleaned is conveyed in the opposite direction and separated from the car wash machine body, so that an accident in which the upper end portion of the vehicle to be cleaned that exceeds the vehicle height collides with the upper part of the car wash machine body is avoided.

By driving the drive unit and the drive unit of the divisional conveyance device connected to the start end side of the divisional conveyance device in reverse, the succeeding vehicle to be washed is returned to the start end portion of the conveyance device and collides with the car wash machine body. In addition to avoiding the above, the preceding vehicle to be washed is continuously conveyed and washed in the main body of the car wash machine.

った事故は回避される。According to the second aspect of the present invention, the vehicle to be cleaned that has entered the starting end portion of the transport device is transported toward the car wash machine main body by the drive portion of each divided transport device being positively driven.
When the vehicle to be cleaned is eventually conveyed to the front end of the car wash machine body, the vehicle height detection device detects the vehicle height of the vehicle to be cleaned. If the detected vehicle height is higher than a predetermined value, it is determined that the vehicle height of the vehicle to be washed exceeds the car wash allowable range, and the control device drives the drive unit of the division conveyance device at the vehicle height detection position and the division conveyance device. The drive unit of the divisional transport device connected to the start end side of the drive unit reversely drives. As a result, the vehicle to be cleaned is conveyed in the opposite direction and separated from the car wash machine body, so that an accident in which the upper end portion of the vehicle to be cleaned that exceeds the vehicle height collides with the upper part of the car wash machine body is avoided.
