To widely expand a side-surface washing range up to a lower part of the side surface to enable a high washing effect to be exerted, by bringing a rotary shaft of a side brush into a second attitude in which the shaft inclines to left and right inner sides toward a lower side or by controlling a side surface washing attitude of the side brush utilizing posture-control force by which the rotary shaft can be brought into the second attitude, in a car side-surface washing process using the side brush of a car washer, and downsize the car washer in a longitudinal direction by rendering a locker brush unnecessary.SOLUTION: A tire brush Z and an advancement/retreating drive device Dz are arranged between a side brush S and an upper-surface detection sensor 10, in a gate-type frame 1. A rotary shaft Js of the side brush is suspended to be tiltable to a left or right side so that the shaft changes in attitude between a first attitude in which the rotary shaft inclines to a left or right outer side toward a lower side or extends in a nearly vertically, and a second attitude in which the rotary shaft inclines to the left or right inner side toward the lower side, while being supported rotatably on a movement base 33 above the gate-type frame. An attitude control mechanism SC that can bring the rotary shaft Js into the second attitude is connected to the rotary shaft.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】洗車機のサイドブラシによる自動車側面洗浄過程において、サイドブラシの回転軸が下方に向かって左右内方側に傾斜した第2姿勢に置かれることで、或いは第2姿勢に置き得る姿勢制御力を利用してサイドブラシの側面洗浄姿勢を制御することで、側面洗浄範囲を側面下部まで広範囲に拡げて高い洗浄効果を発揮可能とし、併せて、ロッカブラシを省略可能として洗車機の前後方向小型化を図る。【解決手段】タイヤブラシZ及びその進退駆動装置Dzが門型フレーム1内でサイドブラシSと上面検出センサ10との間に配設され、サイドブラシの回転軸Jsは、門型フレーム上部の移動台33に回転可能に支持されながら、回転軸が下方に向かって左右外方側に傾斜するか又は略垂直に延びた第1姿勢と下方に向かって左右内方側に傾斜した第2姿勢との間で姿勢変化し得るように左右傾動可能に吊持され、回転軸Jsには、これを第2姿勢に置き得る姿勢制御機構SCが接続される。【選択図】 図1
