Abstract
A system for automated vehicle washing uses a spray arm having horizontal and vertical arm portions joined orthogonally to each other. The spray arm performs various cleaning operations including detergent dispensing, water rinsing and air drying, and is in fluid connection to respective reservoirs and dispensers of detergent, water, and compressed air. A support frame is configured for movement of the spray arm thereon. Means are included for two-dimensional horizontal movement, rotational movement, and vertical movement of the spray arm. A controller of the system is configured to raise or lower the spray arm between an upper height and lower height to accommodate a variety of vehicle types and sizes. A control interface may be in the form of a mobile application and operated by a touchscreen device. The spray arm may include ultrasonic proximity sensors mounted thereon for automated operation.
