Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Autowaschanlage mit wenigstens einer Reinigungsvorrichtung, die eine Vielzahl von rotierend und/oder translatorisch bewegbaren, lappenartigen Reinigungselementen aufweist, die jeweils ein Rückenelement mit zwei aufeinandergelegten und miteinander verbundenen Lagen eines Trägermaterials aufweisen, welche an ihren voneinander weg weisenden Außenseiten ein Reinigungsplüsch aus Reinigungsfasern tragen, wobei mehrere streifenartige Reinigungselemente im wesentlichen parallel nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet und an ihrem einem axialen Endbereich - dem Kopfbereich - miteinander verbunden sind. Des weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Reinigungselementanordnung für eine Autowaschanlage.The present invention relates to a car wash with at least one cleaning device, the one Variety of rotating and / or translationally movable, has tab-like cleaning elements, each a back element with two superimposed and have interconnected layers of a carrier material, which on their outside facing away from each other wear a cleaning plush made of cleaning fibers, essentially several strip-like cleaning elements arranged in parallel next to each other and at one axial end area - the head area - are interconnected. The invention further relates to a cleaning element arrangement for a car wash.
In heute üblichen Waschstraßen werden zur Reinigung der Fahrzeuge in erster Linie rotierende Bürsten eingesetzt, die am Fahrzeug entlang geführt werden. Nachteilig an diesen Bürsten ist jedoch, daß sie Kratzer im Fahrzeuglack verursachen können und außerdem schnell abnutzen. Des weiteren werden zufriedenstellende Reinigungsergebnisse mit den Bürsten in der Regel nur unter dem zusätzlichen Einsatz von chemischen Reinigungsmitteln erzielt, die jedoch zum einen teuer sind und zum anderen nach dem Waschen in aufwendiger Weise aus dem Schmutzwasser beseitigt werden müssen. Aus diesem Grund kommen seit einiger Zeit in zunehmendem Maß an Stelle der Bürsten lappenartige Reinigungselemente zum Einsatz, die an einem rotierenden oder sich translatorisch hin- und herbewegbaren Träger gehalten sind. Durch den Einsatz dieser Lappen wird zwar die Kratzerbildung im Lack deutlich verringert, jedoch ist immer noch ein erheblicher Einsatz an zusätzlichen Reinigungsmitteln erforderlich.In today's car washes for cleaning the Vehicles primarily used rotating brushes, that are guided along the vehicle. Disadvantageous However, these brushes are scratches in the vehicle paint can cause and also wear out quickly. Furthermore, satisfactory cleaning results with the brushes usually just under the extra Achieved the use of chemical cleaning agents, which on the one hand are expensive and on the other hand after Washing removed from the dirty water in a complex manner Need to become. Because of this, come for some Time increasingly in the place of brush-like lobes Cleaning elements used on a rotating or translationally movable carrier are held. By using this rag the scratch formation in the paint is significantly reduced, however is still a significant use of additional Detergents required.
Aus der DE 198 11 942 A1 ist weiter bekannt, in Autowaschanlagen Reinigungselemente mit einem Reinigungsplüsch aus Reinigungsfasern zu verwenden, wie es aus dem Haushaltsbereich bereits bekannt ist, wo Putzlappen auf der Basis von Reinigungsplüschs beispielsweise von den Firmen Hara und Vileda eingesetzt werden. Diese Reinigungsplüschs haben gegenüber den bisher im Autowaschanlagenbereich verwendeten Reinigungslappen den Vorteil einer hohen Reinigungswirkung, so daß man vollständig beziehungsweise nahezu vollständig auf zusätzliche chemische Reinigungsmittel verzichten kann.From DE 198 11 942 A1 is also known in car washes Cleaning elements with a cleaning plush from cleaning fibers to use as it from the Household area is already known where cleaning rags on the basis of cleaning plushes, for example from Companies Hara and Vileda are used. These cleaning plushes have compared to the previously in the car wash area used cleaning rags the advantage of a high cleaning effect, so that one completely or almost entirely on additional chemical Can do without cleaning agents.
Aus der DE 198 11 942 ist weiterhin bekannt, mehrere dieser Reinigungselemente zu einer Einheit bzw. Reinigungsanordnung zusammenzufassen, wobei dann mehrere Reinigungselemente im wesentlichen parallel nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet und an einem axialen Endbereich - dem Kopfbereich - durch einen sich quer zur Längsrichtung der Reinigungselemente erstreckenden Trägerfilz verbunden sind. Eine so gebildete Einheit kann in einfacher Weise an einem entsprechenden Träger einer Reinigungsvorrichtung fixiert werden.DE 198 11 942 also discloses several of these Cleaning elements to form a unit or cleaning arrangement summarize, then several cleaning elements essentially parallel to each other arranged and at an axial end region - the Head area - through a crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the Carrier felt extending cleaning elements connected are. A unit formed in this way can easily on a corresponding carrier of a cleaning device be fixed.
In der Praxis werden in der Regel Reinigungselemente eingesetzt, die eine Breite von etwa 10 cm besitzen. Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, daß diese Reinigungselemente in einzelnen Fällen keine optimalen Reinigungsergebnisse erzielen, und zwar insbesondere wenn die Reinigungselemente nicht besonders lang sind, so daß sie eine vergleichsweise hohe Festigkeit besitzen. In diesen Fällen können nämlich mit den Reinigungselementen zum Teil Ecken- und Kantenbereiche nicht erreicht werden.In practice, cleaning elements are usually used, which are about 10 cm wide. It has however, it turned out that these cleaning elements in some cases not optimal cleaning results achieve, especially when the cleaning elements are not particularly long, so they are comparatively long possess high strength. In these cases can namely with the cleaning elements in part Corner and edge areas cannot be reached.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Autowaschanlage der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß optimale Reinigungsergebnisse erzielbar sind. Des weiteren soll eine Reinigungsanordnung für eine solche Autowaschanlage angegeben werden.The object of the invention is therefore a car wash of the type mentioned in such a way that optimal Cleaning results can be achieved. Furthermore should a cleaning arrangement for such a car wash can be specified.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Reinigungselemente auf einem Teil ihrer Länge ausgehend von ihrem dem Kopfteil gegenüberliegenden freien Ende etwa mittig geteilt ausgebildet sind. Durch die vorgenommene Teilung der Reinigungselemente wird die Festigkeit der Reinigungselemente insbesondere an ihren freien Enden soweit herabgesetzt, daß auch schwer zugängliche Stellen wie Eckenbereiche zuverlässig gereinigt werden können. Es hat sich dabei gezeigt, daß sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielt werden, wenn die Teilung über 50 bis 80 % der Länge der Reinigungselemente erfolgt.This object is achieved in that the Cleaning elements based on part of their length from its free end opposite the head part are divided in the middle. By the made Division of the cleaning elements is the strength of the Cleaning elements so far, especially at their free ends reduced that even hard-to-reach places how corner areas can be reliably cleaned. It has shown that very good results are achieved if the division is over 50 to 80% of the length of the Cleaning elements are carried out.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die streifenartigen Teilelemente, die durch die Teilung der Reinigungselemente gebildet werden, ebenfalls von ihrem freien Ende her eingeschnitten sind, wobei diese ebenfalls in Längsrichtung verlaufenden und vom freien Ende ausgehenden Einschnitte deutlich kürzer ausgebildet sind und sich nur etwa 10 bis 20 % der Länge der Reinigungselemente zu erstrecken brauchen.According to a preferred embodiment, that the strip-like sub-elements created by the division the cleaning elements are formed, likewise are cut from their free end, these also longitudinal and free Incisions made at the end are significantly shorter and are only about 10 to 20% of the length of the cleaning elements need to stretch.
Mit anderen Worten werden die üblicherweise etwa 10 cm breiten Reinigungselemente durch die mittige Hauptteilung in Teilelemente mit einer Breite von etwa 5 cm unterteilt und diese Teilelemente wiederum sind an ihren freien Enden in ca. 2,5 cm breite Streifen unterteilt.In other words, they are usually about 10 cm wide cleaning elements through the central main division divided into sub-elements with a width of about 5 cm and these sub-elements are in turn at their free ends divided into approx. 2.5 cm wide strips.
Die Reinigungsfasern sowie das Trägermaterial des Rückenelements bestehen in bevorzugter Weise aus einem Material, welches eine geringe Wasseraufnahmekapazität besitzt, damit die Reinigungselemente durch Wasseraufnahme nicht zu schwer werden. Als geeignete Materialien haben sich beispielsweise Polyester, Polyether, Polyamid und Propylen erwiesen, wobei Polyester den zusätzlichen Vorteil hat, daß es eine gute Resistenz gegen alkalische Umgebungen hat.The cleaning fibers and the carrier material of the Back element preferably consist of a Material that has a low water absorption capacity has so that the cleaning elements by water absorption don't get too heavy. Have suitable materials for example polyester, polyether, polyamide and propylene, with polyester adding the additional Advantage has that it has good resistance to alkaline Environments.
Die beiden Trägermateriallagen des Rückenelements können auf irgendeine geeignete Weise miteinander verbunden sein, wobei es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen hat, die beiden Lagen zu verkleben oder insbesondere mit einem gegen hohe alkalische Werte resistenten Garn aus Kevlaer-Material zu vernähen.The two backing material layers of the back element can connected together in any suitable manner be, where it has proven to be expedient, the two Layers to glue or in particular with one against high alkaline resistant yarn made of Kevlaer material to sew up.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß das doppellagige Rückenelement aus einem Trägermaterialstreifen besteht, der im wesentlichen entlang seiner Längsmittellinie aufeinandergefaltet ist, wobei die beiden aufeinander gelegten Lagen zumindest im Bereich der aneinander in Anlage kommenden Kantenbereiche verbunden, insbesondere verklebt oder vernäht sind. Bei der Herstellung kann dann das Trägermaterial großflächig mit vorzugsweise einer Fadendichte von etwa 17 Kettfäden/cm und 15 Schußfäden/cm gewebt und das Reinigungsplüsch an dem Trägermaterial in bekannter Weise angebracht werden. Das flächige, teppichartige Gebilde wird dann in Streifen zerschnitten, die zur Fertigstellung des Reinigungselements aufeinandergefaltet werden, wobei die aufeinanderliegenden Trägermateriallagen miteinander verbunden werden.According to a preferred embodiment, that the double-layered back element from a carrier material strip consists essentially of along its Longitudinal centerline is folded up, the two superimposed layers at least in the area of edge areas coming into contact with each other, in particular are glued or sewn. In the preparation of can then preferably use the support material over a large area a thread density of about 17 warp threads / cm and 15 wefts / cm woven and the cleaning plush on the Carrier material can be attached in a known manner. The flat, carpet-like structures are then made into strips cut up to complete the cleaning element can be folded on top of each other, with the Carrier material layers are interconnected.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß besonders gute Reinigungsergebnisse erzielt werden, wenn das Reinigungsplüsch eine Florhöhe von 7 bis 9 mm hat.It has been found that particularly good cleaning results be achieved when the cleaning plush has a pile height of 7 to 9 mm.
