Device for drying a side surface of a washed vehicle in a vehicle washing system

摘要

In a device for drying a side surface of a washed vehicle in a vehicle washing system, an air-feed channel (14) which extends over the height of the vehicle and is essentially vertical and has a slot nozzle (16) which is directed towards the side surface is displaceably mounted on a frame (1) perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the vehicle. The air-feed channel (14) can be swivelled at its upper end (14a) about a horizontal swivel axis (A) which runs transversely with respect to the direction of movement (B) of the vehicle. On both sides of the slot nozzle (16), soft, elastically resilient support elements (17) which protrude in the direction of the vehicle (2) are arranged. Loading means (12) act on the air-feed channel (14) in the direction (D) of the side surface (2a). A control device for a servo-motor which brings about the displacement movement of the air-feed channel (14) has at least one inclination switch (19) which is connected to the air-feed channel (14). <IMAGE>
