STAND-ALONE SYSTEM FOR CAR WASHING Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B60S3/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to stand-alone automated systems for washing cars at their parking places. Stand-alone system for car washing includes control terminal connected via electric interface bus with washing system and effluent disposal system. The washing system contains hollow washing arcs on the concave side of which nozzles are installed the delivery channels of which are connected via arc chambers and positive displacement pump with fitting pipes for washing liquid input, and effluent disposal system represents tray the drainage hole of which is connected with fitting pipe for treated effluent output via filter and suction pump. Additionally the system comprises waterproof folding tent reversible drive and vehicle position encoder unit. The tent is fixed at outer side of washing arcs movably mounted on common shaft positioned in horizontal plane above the tray at right angle to its longitudinal axis, and connected via mechanical transmission with reversible drive shaft the control input of which is connected via interface bus with control terminal. Position encoder unit contains at least two encoders installed above the tray at its opposite sides and connected over signal outputs with control terminal via interface bus.

EFFECT: prevention of washing solution spillage outside the system and decrease in environment contamination.
