    Auto-washing system for vehicles, comprising a first pump (1) for collecting water from the distribution network (2), through ducts, a sediment separation filter (3) from the mains water and a water softener (4) to eliminate or reduce the calcareous substance contained in the water, so that the clean sediment and decalcified water is expelled to a first reservoir (5), where part of this water is driven by a second pump (6), to pass through Osmosis filters (7), towards a second reservoir (8) of osmotic water. From these two tanks (5 and 8) two independent hydraulic circuits of the self-washing system are generated, where the first of these circuits expels the water with detergent and the second circuit expels the water with wax and brightener to the vehicle in a washing cabin (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

    [0002] VEHICLE SELF-WASHING SYSTEM
    [0003]
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The following invention relates to a vehicle self-washing system, which has as its essential object the carrying out of the two-stage washing program, each of them having corresponding independent hydraulic circuits, so that each one of the independent hydraulic circuits incorporates, at least, a water tank at room temperature, a high pressure pump, a product dispenser and a product ejection gun to the vehicles of independent drive.
    [0007]
    [0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0009]
    [0010] Mainly, there are two systems for the automatic washing of vehicles, one called "car wash" and another called "high pressure washing", so that through the "car wash" vehicles move through the tunnel or remain fixed, while the different phases related to prewashing are carried out, with the expulsion by means of chemical sprayers, to washing with the application of a soapy mixture, the rinsing of said soapy mixture and its drying.
    [0011]
    [0012] The self-washes with projected foam do not have a great implantation due to the multiple inconveniences they present and which are resolved in the present invention.
    [0013]
    [0014] In this way, vehicles located along the "car wash", after washing operations, come into contact with a series of brushes that optimize washing by dragging and moving the possible solid particles located in the bodywork.
    [0015]
    [0016] The high pressure washing system is based on a "lance", connected to the corresponding water line of the network, or water mixed with other cleaning products, which expels, at high pressure on the vehicle, the washing liquid, while different cleaning phases are carried out around the vehicle itself, for which the conduction of the liquid is anchored to the roof with the corresponding rotating installation.
    [0017]
    [0018] This high pressure washing system is usually carried out with hot water and It includes control and selection means by means of which, in addition, to incorporate a receiver of money or tokens, it incorporates a keyboard for the selection, by the user, of the different washing phases, so that the user selects the same in the development of vehicle cleaning, normally having three phases, a first wash, a second rinse and a third with an application of osmotic water, to which a fourth phase of wax application can be added.
    [0019]
    [0020] On the other hand, it can be indicated that the systems known to date for high-pressure washing of vehicles have different drawbacks, making them not entirely optimal for use. On the one hand, regarding the application of the foams, it is carried out with compressed air foams that are not efficient, since the hose that releases the liquid with the foam is free inside the washing cabin, being incompatible said device with the rotating arms suspended from the ceiling with which the vehicles are washed in said self-washing cabins. This foam ejection hose is dragged along the ground, being pulled by the user as it is cleaned around the vehicle while washing, which can cause hose entrapment or inability to carry foam spray to all required spaces
    [0021]
    [0022] In other cases, for the expulsion of the foam, a soap tank is placed under the applicator itself and by circulating water or pressurized air through it, the foam is released. This execution is incompatible with the self-washing booths, since it requires that the soap tank be continuously refilled, since in the self-washing services the chemical must be stored in a larger tank and injected into the water line according to demand.
    [0023]
    [0024] In addition, these products and forms of application mentioned have other drawbacks such as the use of foaming soap to produce the foam with a zero level of detergency, so they can only be used as prewash, proceeding to perform a subsequent wash either with another detergent to high pressure or by hand rubbing with a sponge or brush.
    [0025]
    [0026] Likewise, to the indicated disadvantages, others can be added, such as the use of a single "spear" or gun for all programs, so that when changing from one program to another, such as from washing to rinsing, there is a time, in which soapy water continues to come out until all the conduit is "emptied" and only water for rinsing comes out. In this way, the further the cabin is from the technical room, the greater the time in which an unwanted fluid exits, thus existing an unnecessary expense, both in product and in hot water as well as a nuisance to the user for the delay between what the user demands from the washing machine and the time that It takes the machine to offer the service requested by the user.
    [0027]
    [0028] Likewise, the fact that conventional self-washing systems are carried out with hot water, causes the water to be heated to about 60 degrees Celsius, requiring the corresponding installation of a boiler, which requires a adequate maintenance, impacting said hot water on the useful life of the hydraulic components of the installation and increasing not only the amount of the investment of the first installation but also the maintenance of the same.
    [0029]
    [0030] On the other hand, in the washing process there is a contamination of some products with others, since, in conventional cabins the chemical products are injected into a “collector”, depending on the washing program chosen by the user, so that all products converge on the same water line resulting in contamination in the following situations:
    [0031]
    [0032] - when a pump start occurs, since the depression generated by the water at the beginning of the movement absorbs the product remains that may remain in the injectors, and;
    [0033] - when due to material wear, the injectors (which in turn are non-return valves) stop operating in perfect conditions and allow small leaks of product in the line.
    [0034]
    [0035] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0036]
    [0037] The vehicle car wash system described in this invention solves the aforementioned disadvantages existing in the background by using different lances fixed on the cabins for the exit of the cleaning fluids on the vehicle avoiding the contamination between said fluids and the loss of cleaning material in unwanted steps.
    [0038]
    [0039] For this, the self-washing system comprises a first pump that collects water from the distribution network through ducts and directs it to a sediment separation filter to eliminate possible suspended solids or particles from the water that can to have.
    [0040]
    [0041] Once the sediments have been removed from the water, this is conducted to a decalcified to reduce or eliminate the calcareous substance and the excess magnesium and calcium salts contained in the network water.
    [0042]
    [0043] Due to this process, the options that calcium and magnesium present in the water make it difficult for cleaning products to dissolve are reduced, as well as calcium and magnesium being deposited both in the pipes and in the elements to be cleaned.
    [0044]
    [0045] Said decalcifier expels the decalcified water and conducts it through conduits to a first decalcified water reservoir, where part of this water is driven by a second pump, through a first outlet, passing through osmosis filters heading towards a second osmotic water reservoir.
    [0046]
    [0047] Once the decalcified water reaches both reservoirs, the hydraulic circuit is divided into two independent parts, so that the first decalcified water reservoir is connected to a third pump configured to extract and conduct the decalcified water from the first reservoir, by means of a second exit, through a first detergent dispenser and propel it towards a first gun configured to expel the water with detergent to a vehicle by means of a first arm in a washing cabin.
    [0048]
    [0049] The second reservoir, of osmotized water, is connected to a fourth pump configured to extract and conduct the osmotized water through a second wax and brightener dispenser, and propel it towards a second gun configured to expel water with wax and rinse aid to the vehicle , through a second arm in a washing cabin.
    [0050]
    [0051] For its operation, the self-washing system comprises control means consisting of two phases.
    [0052]
    [0053] A first phase in which decalcified water with high density foam is expelled to the vehicle to be washed by the first gun and a second phase of rinsing and finishing, in which osmotized water with wax and brightener is expelled to the vehicle to be washed by the second gun.
    [0054]
    [0055] The self-washing system preferably comprises, to activate its operation of a mechanism configured to receive and validate an input that turns on the car wash and an emergency button configured to stop the operation of the car wash system.
    [0056]
    [0057] This input that activates the operation of the mechanism can be the introduction of cash such as coins or bills, reusable tokens, the introduction of an alphanumeric code by means of a keyboard, a printed code reader or the reception of wireless signal.
    [0058]
    [0059] In one embodiment, the first gun is provided with at least one outside air inlet port for application by spraying the decalcified water on the vehicle. This small air inlet hole causes, by "Venturi" effect, air to be sucked in and incorporated into the detergent that is applied to the vehicle "fattening" the foam and giving it a high density causing the mousse effect that makes it remain in the body. With this it is also achieved that the spray of the fluid to be expelled is carried out covering a larger surface, allowing to reach a greater space within the washing cabin.
    [0060]
    [0061] In a preferred embodiment, the first arm and the second arm are attached to the roof of the cabin, each of them, by one of its ends whereby they rotate freely with respect to an axis perpendicular to the roof. In this way the fluid is allowed, when ejected from the upper internal part of the cabin, to reach all parts of the vehicle, located inside, supported by gravity and prevents the fluid ejection hoses from being loose. inside the cabin and need the manipulation of the user for washing.
    [0062]
    [0063] To achieve that the fluid outlet is carried out at a speed suitable for its use, the third pump works at high pressures, between 65 to 80 bars and the fourth pump works at pressures between 120 to 130 bars. This is due to the fact that the water mixed with the foam or with the wax and the brightener increases its viscosity and needs a high output speed to reach all the required spaces.
    [0064]
    [0065] In a preferred embodiment and unlike some of the systems described in the background, the proposed self-washing system does not use boilers to heat the working fluid, the first tank and the second tank being at room temperature.
    [0066]
    [0067] To complement the description that will be followed, and in order to To help a better understanding of the features of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a set of drawings, in whose figures in an illustrative and non-limiting manner, the most characteristic details of the invention are represented.
    [0068]
    [0069] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGNS
    [0070]
    [0071] Figure 1. Shows a view of a diagram related to the collection, treatment and supply of water and other products to the high-pressure ejection guns of the products on the vehicles.
    [0072]
    [0073] DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
    [0074]
    [0075] In view of the aforementioned figure and according to the numbering adopted, we can observe that, first of all, the water in the network is treated so that it can be used for washing vehicles, as is known in the state of the art, so that by means of a first pump (1) connected to the distribution network (2) the water is directed to a sediment separation filter (3) that can be dragged, from which it is conducted to a water softener (4), and conducted to a first tank (5) of decalcified water at room temperature.
    [0076]
    [0077] From the first tank (5) of decalcified water, part of this water is transferred, through a first outlet (19), by means of a second pump (6) and by passing it through osmosis filters (7), to a second tank (8) of osmotic water, also at room temperature, so that the first tank (5) of decalcified water and the second tank (8) of osmotic water are part of two independent hydraulic circuits, for self-washing of the vehicles.
    [0078]
    [0079] In this way, the auto-washing of the vehicles will be carried out in two stages by means of the two independent hydraulic circuits, so that the first tank (5) of decalcified water at room temperature is connected by conduits to a third high-pressure pump (9) working at 65 to 80 bars, which extracts and conducts decalcified water, through a second outlet (20), through a first detergent dispenser (10) and drives it to a first gun (11) through a first arm (12), attached to the roof of the washing cabin, by means of a joint that allows its free rotation with respect to an axis perpendicular to the ceiling.
    [0080] The second reservoir (8) of osmotic water at room temperature is connected by conduits to a third high-pressure pump (13) that works between 120 to 130 bar, which extracts and conducts the osmotic water through a second doser (14) wax and polish and drives it to a second gun (15) through a second arm (16) attached, also to the roof of the washing cabin, by means of a joint that allows its free rotation with respect to an axis perpendicular to the ceiling.
    [0081]
    [0082] In this way, by means of the first gun (11) connected to the first tank (5) of decalcified water, the application of a high density foam with great detergency power on the vehicles and through the second gun (15), connected to the second reservoir (8) of osmotic water at room temperature, the vehicle is rinsed with the contribution of waxes and brightener.
    [0083]
    [0084] Logically, both independent hydraulic circuits have those elements necessary and known in the state of the art, such as flow control valves to allow distribution of the fluid through the conduits that connect the different parts of the assembly.
    [0085]
    [0086] The first gun (11) is equipped with at least a small air inlet hole that, due to the "Venturi" effect, sucks and incorporates air into the detergent that is applied to the vehicle, generating the foam and giving a high density causing the "mousse" effect that makes it adhere to the body.
    [0087]
    [0088] In this way, once the money has been introduced in the form of coins or bills, or another entry that activates the operation of the self-washing system, such as tokens, the reception of a wireless signal or the introduction of a code by means of an activation keypad, the first gun (11) connected to the first tank (5) of decalcified water at room temperature is activated to the corresponding mechanism (17) of the reception and validation of the input that activates the operation of the self-wash. as well as the first dispenser (10) of detergent, immediately, producing the application of the high density foam, since the circuit is unique and the product is at the tip of the first gun (11).
    [0089]
    [0090] Once the high density foam has been applied to the vehicle and the use of the first gun (11) is finished, the second stage of vehicle washing is carried out, based on rinsing and applying waxes with brightener and, for that, it actuates the second gun (15) that, immediately, expels the osmotized water at room temperature along with the waxes and brightener, which is located at the tip of the second gun (15), until it stops operating or when it runs out the self-wash time, controlled by the corresponding control and function means.
    [0091]
    [0092] Thus, once the activation of the corresponding mechanism (17) of the reception and validation of the input has been carried out, the control and function means are prepared to act by actuating the guns (11 and 15), having a push button (18 ) of emergency that can be used in case of any incident in the hydraulic circuit, such as a breakage, or for reasons beyond the operation of the system.
    [0093]
    [0094] Thus, by means of the object of the invention, a series of important advantages to be cited are obtained, such as the fact that when working with water at room temperature, without losing quality in the final result, significant economic savings are produced and, consequently, profitability is increased, since:
    [0095]
    [0096] - the investment to be made by the installation of a boiler is avoided;
    [0097] - the cost related to energy consumption for water heating is avoided:
    [0098] - maintenance is avoided and;
    [0099] - The life of the hydraulic components is prolonged by not working with hot water.
    [0100]
    [0101] Other aspects to consider are:
    [0102] - The use by the user, so that the operation is comfortable, practical, understandable and effective, since, the user only has to perform two washing steps and there is no possibility of error when using a first gun (11) of Foam application washing in a first stage and a second rinse gun (15) in a second stage and, in addition, it is not necessary to press any keypad or operate any mechanism once the input has been activated, at the same time as the control and function system detects when the user uses a gun or another unable to operate one until the other has not stopped using.
    [0103]
    [0104] - The final finish is, at least, the same as conventional systems, but by simplifying the washing process and preventing error by the user, the quality of the washing is significantly increased, since, with conventional systems, designed for washing with at least three programs, when a complete process the finish of the vehicle is poor, while with the system object of the invention that does not happen.
    [0105]
    [0106] - The product is always available at the exit of the guns (11 and 15) from the initial moment, while in conventional systems there is a delay in the arrival of the necessary products or types of water from when the program is requested until It comes out of the guns (11 and 15) depending on the distance from the exit to the technical storage room of the fluid, so that it can cause a consequent loss of money and time throughout the life of the product.
    [0107]
    [0108] - The machinery can be moved further away from the washing area without the minimum loss of pressure or any delay in changing the program, while in conventional systems it is not very effective, as indicated, to move too much distance between the two , for the delays in the application of each program.
    [0109]
    [0110] - The contamination of a product with another one never takes place, since, they are two totally independent circuits with different outputs, each one of them.
    [0111]
    [0112] - Being at least, the first gun (11) provided with at least one air inlet hole, towards the conduction of the fluid, causes that, by "Venturi" effect, air is sucked causing the "rupture" of the flow, that carries the detergent, which is projected to the vehicle, swelling the foam and causing the “mousse” effect, causing it to remain on the body by adhesion so that it does not slide quickly due to the effect of gravity, so that, given its degreasing power allow dirt to be descaled, no matter how adhered it may be, while not affecting chrome plating or possible deteriorated paints.
