METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR WASHING CAR

PURPOSE: To reduce the necessary space by passing a car through a car washing machine and advancing to a car washing space after the car washing is accepted by a car washing accepting device provided at the rear of the car washing machine, and retracting the car after the washing to absorb the retracting space into the car washing space. CONSTITUTION: A car washing machine 1 is provided with a car washing equipment within a portal frame, and travels on rails 2, 2. A car washing accepting device 10 is provided at a car advancing gate before a car washing space, the car washing requesting signal is outputted to the car washing machine 1, a gate 12 is opened, and an admission guide lamp 13 is lit. When the car passes through the car washing machine 1 and the advancement of the car to the prescribed position of a tire stopper 7 is confirmed by a stop position sensor 8, the car is stopped by the stop display of a stop/retraction guide lamp 9, and the car is washed. When the car washing is completed, the tire stopper is collapsed to display the retraction by the retraction guide lamp 9, the movement of the car is detected by the stop position sensor 8, and the car washing machine 1 outputs the car washing completion signal to the car washing accepting device 10. The car is retracted in the forward and right-to-left direction.
