Description

Cleaning trolley for washing vehicles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a carriage of cleaning for washing vehicles, of the type of which type of those comprising a structure mounted on wheels for transport, a handle for handling, a closed housing with a top cover, a clean water tank, a water tank dirty, an electric battery, a hose, a pump for the washing water drive, a tray for storing the cleaning products and utensils, a wet tray communicated through a hole with the dirty water tank, means of aspiration and a service control device made.

Background of the invention

Currently there are various means to perform the washing and cleaning of the vehicles. Generally these means are arranged in fixed installations to which Move the vehicle to proceed to its washing. Said washing can be automatically using complex machinery or manual, either by the owner of the vehicle itself or by a operator of the washing facility. This situation requires the effective vehicle transfer and installation sizing, which is usually expensive and sometimes requires maintenance considerable.

In response to this situation they have emerged vehicle cleaning services that are mobile, taking advantage of a parking or stopping of the vehicle such as in a parking of a shopping center or similar during the Shopping realization.

These cleaning services are based on the use of a cleaning car such as the one described in the model of utility U20032817 that includes everything you need to perform the washing of the vehicle without it having to move from the place in the that is parked, since it is the car that is transported by The operator to the vehicle.

The cleaning car of said utility model comprises a structure on wheels that has a push and carry handle and a closed housing with cover. In the car there is a clean water tank for use in washing, a dirty water tank where the remains of the washing are collected, an electric battery that feeds a water pump to give pressure to a hose for washing. In turn, in the housing there is a tray to store cleaning products and detergents and a tray considered wet to drain the wipes used in washing and collect the dirty water that is sent to the water tank
dirty.

It is also common for the car to understand Some device to control the services performed. This form the person in charge of exploitation can verify that the operator has effectively performed the number of services that result from the collection and has not neglected any service collected, but not accounted for in said collection.

There are also cars with suction systems for cleaning the interior of the vehicle, but they are complex and not very effective when it is not possible to bring the car of car cleaning to avoid collisions and damage to the vehicle.

Description of the invention

The cleaning cart of this invention features a series of technical peculiarities that allow a use optimized and rigorous control of operation and exploitation of the same.

This car comprises in the control device three buttons to start the operation of the services that can do. These services are the washing of the outside of the vehicle, cleaning by vacuuming the interior of the vehicle and the combined washing and vacuuming service.

These push buttons are associated with corresponding counters for accounting for services and exploitation management. In addition through said push buttons start the appropriate devices for the realization of said services, this operation being controlled by appropriate timers that turn off the equipment after a determined and sufficient time for the operator to perform the selected service or services.

In addition, the car comprises at least one of the wheels a maximum displacement sensor device that makes devices such as the drive pump or the means of suction stop when the car travels a certain distance, for example 20 meters, since any of The service switches. This avoids picaresque that an operator with the resources of a service can perform the cleaning of two or more cars, being able to hide the collection of second service in the collection and causing fraud to the exploitation. In addition, this practice would lead to a worse cleaning of the vehicles due to the inappropriate attitude of said operator.

The car comprises on the wet tray a drainer of wipes that allows to eliminate the surplus water of the themselves, as well as a separator that delimits differentiated spaces for the placement of clean cloths and dirty cloths. Said drainer pours the water taken from the cloths by a sump to the dirty water tank.

The car presents on the push handle and transport a hole as a shelf to deposit small necessary objects and documents during the work of the operator.

Taking into account that the operator has to standing in the workplace is provided that the cover of the housing defines a recess or seat, so that the operator can rest between successive services.

As mentioned, the car comprises suction means for interior cleaning of vehicles. Said suction means comprise a removable vacuum cleaner, of way that is totally autonomous. This vacuum cleaner is connectable to the car battery for recharging when not in use. Said vacuum cleaner will preferably be located in the intended tray to contain cleaning products and separate from the tray wet

To facilitate the work of the operator and allow better access to the top of tall vehicles for your cleaning is provided that the cleaning car incorporates a folding stool that can be stored in the car, to facilitate his transport.

To adjust the place where the vehicle and collect water poured on the ground, it is planned that the car incorporates a mop that the operator can use when finish the service and keep it inside the car until new use.
