The microfilm (first page, FIG. 3-6) of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-130364 (Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 3-68162)

  However, according to the conventional configuration described above, since the support guide surface formed by the roller group is flat, between the inward guide surface (guide position) of the guide roller located below and the support guide surface, A large step is generated according to the diameter of the guide roller. Therefore, in the case of a tire having a large flattening ratio as in recent times, the wheel comes into contact with the C-shaped guide roller and the wheel (wheel) There is a risk of damage. In addition, since the guide roller group that forms the side guide surface is separately provided above the roller group that forms the flat support guide surface, the structure is complicated, such as a large number of rollers. And the whole becomes expensive.

  Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the vehicle position correcting device for stopping the vehicle to be cleaned in the washable range can be configured without damaging the wheels, and the structure can be simplified and the configuration can be made inexpensively. The purpose is to provide car wash facilities.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the car wash equipment according to claim 1 of the present invention is a car wash equipment for washing a car to be washed while moving the car to be washed and the car washer main body relatively. In addition, a vehicle position correcting device that supports and guides the wheels of the vehicle to be cleaned is provided at the entrance of the cleaning route, and this vehicle position correcting device is in a state in which the direction of the axis is along the relative movement direction. It consists of a plurality of idle rollers, and these idle rollers are arranged such that a concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface is formed by the upward surface thereof.

  Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the vehicle to be cleaned for washing the vehicle has been correctly driven, the wheel that has entered the vehicle position correcting device is located at the bottom arc portion of the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface. It is possible to exit from the vehicle position correcting device after transferring to the upward surface of the idle roller and rolling on the idle roller. In addition, when the vehicle to be cleaned has driven and shifted in the vehicle width direction, the wheels that have entered the vehicle position correcting device are idle rollers positioned on one of the left and right side arc portions of the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface. Ride on the upward surface and roll on the idler roller. At this time, since the wheel is transferred to the idle roller in an eccentric shape with the bottom arc portion side (center portion side) floating, the wheel is moved to the bottom of the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface by the weight of the vehicle to be cleaned. It can automatically move laterally toward the arc portion. At that time, along with the lateral movement of the wheel (side-slip shape), the idle roller with which the wheel is in contact (climbed up) is allowed to idle inward and downward around the axis.

  Thus, the vehicle position correction device can automatically correct the deviation in the vehicle width direction, and the vehicle to be cleaned whose vehicle position has been corrected or the vehicle to be cleaned that does not require vehicle position correction can be It can be located at the start of the car, so the intended car wash can be performed.

  At that time, the vehicle position correcting device arranges the idle roller group so that a concave arc-shaped (mortar-shaped) wheel receiving surface is formed by the upward surface thereof, so that the position of the idle roller gradually increases. As a result, the level difference between adjacent ones is small. As a result, the vehicle position of the vehicle to be cleaned can be corrected in a state where only the lower part (tire) of the wheel contacts the idle roller, that is, the side part (wheel) is not in contact. The idle roller group disposed so as to form a concave arc-shaped (mortar-shaped) wheel receiving surface can be used both for supporting the vehicle to be cleaned and for correcting displacement in the vehicle width direction.

  Further, in the car wash equipment according to claim 2 of the present invention, in the configuration according to claim 1 described above, at least the idler roller group in the central portion has the axis of the relative movement direction inclined with the car wash machine body side as the upper side. It is characterized by being arranged.

  Therefore, according to the invention of claim 2, the wheel that has entered the vehicle position correcting device is transferred to the upward surface of the idle roller group forming the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface, and the idle roller along the inclination angle. While traveling upward (rolling), the vehicle in the vehicle width direction can be automatically corrected, and thus the vehicle to be cleaned can be positioned at the start end of the cleaning route.

  The car wash equipment according to claim 3 of the present invention is the configuration according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the idle roller group is a concave circle with respect to the axis of the idle roller on the center side of the concave arc. The axis of the arcuate end-side idler roller is arranged to be inclined so as to approach on the car wash machine main body side.

  Therefore, according to the invention of claim 3, with the lateral movement of the wheel (side-sliding shape), the idle roller which the wheel is in contact with (climbed on) is allowed to idle inward and downward around the shaft center. Therefore, the lateral movement can be smoothly performed in a state where friction is reduced and a load is not applied more than necessary. At that time, by arranging the shaft center of the idle roller so as to approach the car wash machine main body side, the concave arcuate wheel receiving surface has a small diameter arc shape on the car wash machine main body side. The side opposite to the main body of the car wash machine can be formed in a large-diameter arc shape, thereby facilitating smooth lateral movement (side-sliding) of the wheel while rolling.

  Furthermore, in the car wash equipment according to claim 4 of the present invention, in the configuration according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the car to be washed supported via the wheels from the front of the car wash machine main body. A conveyor device that conveys the body backward is provided, and a vehicle position correcting device is provided at the entrance to the conveyor device.

  Therefore, according to the invention of claim 4, the vehicle position correction device automatically corrects the deviation in the vehicle width direction to correct the vehicle position, or the vehicle to be cleaned that does not require vehicle position correction.

It is possible to exit from the vehicle position correcting device after being transferred to the upward surface of the idle roller positioned and rolling on the idle roller. In addition, when the vehicle to be cleaned has been driven and shifted in the vehicle width direction, the idler roller positioned at one of the left and right arc portions of the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface is inserted into the vehicle position correcting device. It is possible to get on the upward surface and roll on the idle roller. At this time, since the wheel is transferred to the idle roller in an eccentric shape with the bottom arc portion side (center portion side) floating, the wheel is moved to the bottom of the concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface by the weight of the vehicle to be cleaned. It can automatically move horizontally to the arc part side. At that time, along with the lateral movement of the wheel (side-sliding), the idle roller contacted with the wheel (climbed up) is swung inward and downward around the shaft center, and thus the lateral movement is Friction is reduced, and smooth operation can be performed in a state where a load is not applied more than necessary.

  Accordingly, the deviation in the vehicle width direction can be automatically corrected by the vehicle position correcting device, and the vehicle to be cleaned whose vehicle position has been corrected or the vehicle to be cleaned that does not require vehicle position correction can be It can be located in the area, so that the expected car wash can be performed.

  At this time, the idle roller group is arranged so as to form a concave arc-shaped wheel receiving surface by the upward surface thereof, so that the position of the idle roller can be gradually increased, so that a step between adjacent Can be made small. As a result, the vehicle position of the vehicle to be cleaned can be corrected in a state where only the lower part (tire) of the wheel is in contact with the idle roller, that is, in a state where the side (wheel) is not in contact. The vehicle position correction device for stopping the vehicle at a suitable position (car washable range) can be configured without damaging the wheels. The idle roller group arranged so as to form a concave arc-shaped (mortar-shaped) wheel receiving surface can be used both for supporting the vehicle to be cleaned and for correcting the displacement in the vehicle width direction.

Therefore, the wheel 51 can be automatically moved laterally to the bottom arc portion of the wheel receiving surface 26 having a concave arc shape depending on the weight of the vehicle 50.

  At that time, along with the lateral movement of the wheel 51 (side-slip), the idle rollers 24C, 24B, 24A with which the flat tire 51B comes into contact (climbed in order) are sequentially placed around the shafts 25C, 25B, 25A. This means that the lateral movement can be smoothly performed in a state in which friction is reduced and no load is applied more than necessary. Further, the idle rollers 24A, 24B, 24C, and 24D groups are arranged such that the center of the idle roller on the end side of the concave arc is the center of the idle roller on the center side of the concave arc. The wheel receiving surface 26 having a concave arc shape is arranged so as to approach on the one side, and the car wash machine body 1 side has a small diameter arc shape 26r and the opposite side of the car wash machine body 1 has a large diameter arc shape. By forming in 26R, smooth lateral movement (side-slip shape) while climbing the wheel 51 (rolling running) is promoted.

  As described above, the vehicle position correcting device 21 can automatically correct the deviation of the vehicle 50 in the vehicle width direction, so that the vehicle position can be corrected. In this case, the idle rollers 24A, 24B, 24C, and 24D are arranged so as to form a concave arc-shaped (mortar-shaped) wheel receiving surface 26 by the upward surfaces thereof. , 24C, 24D are gradually raised, and the step between the adjacent parts becomes small. Thus, the vehicle position of the vehicle 50 can be corrected in a state where only the flat tire 51B is in contact with the idle rollers 24A, 24B, 24C, 24D, that is, in a state where the wheel 51A is not in contact with the vehicle 50. The vehicle position correcting device 21 for stopping the vehicle within the car washable range) can be configured without damaging the wheel 51A (wheel 51).

  Further, the idle rollers 24A, 24B, 24C, and 24D arranged so as to form a concave arc-shaped (mortar-shaped) wheel receiving surface 26 by the upward surface are used to support the vehicle 50 and correct the displacement in the vehicle width direction. Thus, the vehicle position correcting device 21 can be configured at a low cost by reducing the number of idle rollers 24A, 24B, 24C, 24D, that is, by simplifying the structure.

  As described above, the vehicle position correcting device 21 automatically corrects the deviation in the vehicle width direction, and the vehicle 50 in which the vehicle position is corrected or the vehicle 50 in which the vehicle position is not required to be corrected is changed to the left and right wheels 51. And the vehicle 50 can be positioned at the start end portion of the cleaning path 18. Then, by conveying the vehicle 50 on the cleaning path 18 by the conveyor device 11, the intended cleaning is performed by the cleaning unit 2, and the vehicle is dried by the drying unit 3, so that the vehicle 50 can be washed.
