2. INTRODUCTION
Car washing is an essential function of preventive
maintenance. Keeping the exterior of a vehicle clean
prevents rust ,oxidation and also reduces the occurrence of
fine scratches. This article attempts to relay the most
common method and the significance of this pastime.
3. CONCEPT
As the concept of automatic car washing system, when we
are leaving the vehicle at the starting point of the conveyor.
By the sensor detects the vehicle and the conveyor starts
moving to the washing point.
washing of vehicle is done at the washing position.
after completion of washing of vehicle, it is moving back to
the original position by the conveyor
4. COMPONENTS
Components Of Automatic Car Washing System Are
Conveyor belt
Ball bearings
Dc motors
Water sprinklers
Fans
Power supply system
5. CONVEYOR SYSTEM
A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling
equipment that moves materials from one location to another.
Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the
transportation of heavy or bulky materials.
Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transportation for a
wide variety of materials.
In automatic car washing system we are using flat belt
conveyor system
7. BALL BEARINGS
A ball bearing is a type of rolling element bearing that uses
balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races
The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational
friction and support radial and axial load
8. DC MOTORS
A DC motor is any of a class of electrical machines that
converts electrical power into mechanical Energy. The most
common types relay on the forces produced by magnetic
fields.
9. H-BRIDGE DC MOTOR
In automatic car washing system we are using H-BRIDGE
DC MOTOR. The work of H-Bridge is to push and pull the
conveyor belt
SPECIFICATIONS
Speed: 300 rpm
Power: 12v DC
10. WATER SPRINKLER
Car can be cleaned by water sprinkler Here we are using 12v
DC water sprinkler
Specifications
Torque: 3.0 NM
Speed : 110 RPM
Power: 12 v Dc & 115 v Ac
11. POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Power supply in automatic car washing system
contains mainly four components they are
Transformer
Rectifier
Filter
Regulator
12. TRANSFORMER
A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from
one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors
They are generally two types i.e. STEP-UP & STEP-DOWN
13. RECTIFIERS
Rectifier converts AC current or voltages into DC current or
voltage.
There are two different rectification circuits, known as 'half-
wave' and 'full-wave' rectifiers.
Both use components called diodes to convert AC into DC.
14. CAPACITIVE FILTER
Filter circuits are used to remove unwanted or undesired
frequencies from a signal.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to
automatically maintain a constant voltage level. It may
use an electromechanical mechanism
15. WORKING
The working of automatic car washing system is
Required power will be obtained by power supply system
Once we placed an object on starting end of the conveyor, IR
Sensors detects the object and conveyor moves forward
Another sensor is placed on end point of the conveyor, and
pickup the object to washing room
Water sprinkling and drying process is done under washing
room and returns to the conveyor
16. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY USED IN CAR WASHING
Some of the new trends in car washing is
Solar power
Geothermal heating
variable- speed-drive vacuum pump
17. ADVANTAGES
Main advantages are
Reduces man power
minimizes the chance of surface damage to the vehicle
It removes brake dust and build up from the surface of the
wheels and tires
Proper utilization of water and foam
Its available on both flat and inclined areas
It Reduces the Time of washing process
19. CONCLUSION
The demand of the Automatic Car Wash Services much high
and the people are willing to wash their cars in such a place
where their car paint is not damaged. And a better wash is
given. And a very important factor that the people are able to
save their time as this car wash takes less time period and the
car is dried as well. So this new Automatic Car Wash service
should be introduced to there are so many potential customers
waiting for such services.
