輛洗浄装置に係る考案である。[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a vehicle cleaning device used in automobile factories to clean oil adhering to the underside of finished vehicles. This invention relates to a cleaning device for a vehicle, and in particular, extending pipes from a cleaning fluid discharge device and a compressed air supply device are collectively connected to form a cleaning fluid supply device, and the foamed cleaning fluid is ejected against the underside of the vehicle floor. This is an invention related to a vehicle washing device that allows the user to operate the switch while riding in the vehicle.

除去する為に車輌下床面洗浄装置が設けられている。In general, at automobile manufacturing plants, maintenance shops, and various other vehicle-related factories, at the final stage of each work, the underside of the vehicle is cleaned to remove leaked oil such as engine, transmission, and axle lubricating oil that adheres to the underside of the vehicle floor. A floor cleaning device is provided.

あった。Therefore, the above-mentioned vehicle underfloor cleaning devices based on the prior art mainly use steam as a cleaning propellant and mechanically remove attached oil by spraying the steam. However, this type of mechanical steam injection alone not only has the drawback that it does not remove adhering oil sufficiently, but also requires a large amount of energy for each process of steam formation and compression injection, making it inefficient and costly. There were certain disadvantages.

化される。In order to remove the adhering oil in the final process, the completed vehicle 2 is driven by itself, stopped above the pit 5 of the cleaning device 1, and while riding in the driver's seat, the start switch is turned on. When 24 is pressed, the discharge pump 8 and compressor 11 operate for one hour, which is preset in the control device 27, and the solenoid valves 9 and 14 are opened, and the detergent liquid is discharged from the detergent liquid tank 7. The detergent liquid is discharged into the pipe 10, and compressed air is injected from the compressor 11 into the detergent liquid in the pipe 10, where it is thoroughly mixed and foamed into an emulsion.

又、気泡化された洗浄液は吐出ポンプ８の吐出力を受け
て噴射ノズル６から高圧裡に上向噴出し完成車輛２の床
下面３に対し一様に噴射される。Further, the aerated cleaning liquid is ejected upward from the injection nozzle 6 under high pressure in response to the discharge force of the discharge pump 8, and is uniformly injected onto the underfloor surface 3 of the completed vehicle 2.

その結果、該床下面３の付着油は洗浄液によって洗浄除

る優れた効果がある。As described above, according to this invention, a vehicle underfloor cleaning device comprising a cleaning liquid supply device and an injection nozzle connected thereto includes a detergent liquid discharge device and a compressed air supply device as the cleaning liquid supply device, and an extension from both devices. Since the pipes to be discharged are connected together and connected to the injection nozzle facing the underside of the vehicle floor, the detergent liquid is mixed with air in the pipes, and the gas and liquid are mixed in the pipes to form sufficient bubbles and spray onto the parts of the vehicle to be cleaned. Since the detergent liquid and air are injected into an emulsion, the cleaning function is increased and adhering oil is decomposed extremely efficiently.In addition, the adhering oil on the underside of the floor is sufficiently removed by the injection pressure of the cleaning liquid. It has excellent effects.

したがって、洗浄液の噴射圧力が従来のスチーム噴射の
それよりも低圧力であっても、気泡化洗浄液の作用によ
りスチーム噴射態様１以上の洗浄効果を奏する。Therefore, even if the injection pressure of the cleaning liquid is lower than that of conventional steam injection, the action of the aerated cleaning liquid provides a cleaning effect that is greater than or equal to the steam injection mode 1.

充分洗浄出来ることが確認された。Furthermore, according to this cleaning device, since the detergent liquid is mixed with gas and liquid in the collecting pipe and has a mixing outflow length of a predetermined distance before reaching the injection nozzle, the detergent liquid is sufficiently foamed and emulsified, and the liquid flows to the underside of the floor. The cleaning liquid accumulates well, the cleaning effect is good, and as a result of experiments, it was confirmed that even the details that cannot be wiped off with a cloth can be sufficiently cleaned.
