Abstract
A service machine includes a housing and a valve assembly mounted to the housing and configured to receive at least one cleaning fluid from at least one cleaning fluid source and a chemical from a chemical reservoir. The service machine also includes a nozzle fluidly connected to the valve assembly and configured to spray the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the one or more components of the vehicle. The valve assembly selectively controls the flow of the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the nozzle. The service machine is used to apply a chemical to one or more component of a vehicle.
Claims20
A service machine for applying a chemical to one or more component of a vehicle, the service machine comprising:
- a housing;
- a valve assembly mounted to the housing and configured to receive at least one cleaning fluid from at least one cleaning fluid source and a chemical from a chemical reservoir;
- and
- a nozzle fluidly connected to the valve assembly and configured to spray the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the one or more components of the vehicle,
- wherein the valve assembly selectively controls the flow of the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the nozzle.
A service machine for applying a chemical to one or more component of a vehicle, the service machine comprising:
- a housing;
- a valve assembly mounted to the housing and configured to receive at least one cleaning fluid from at least one cleaning fluid source and a chemical from a chemical reservoir;
- and
- a nozzle fluidly connected to the valve assembly and configured to spray the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the one or more component of the vehicle, wherein the valve assembly selectively controls the flow of the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the nozzle;
- and
- a controller configured to control the valve assembly to deliver the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical to the nozzle in a predefined sequence and control the amount of the at least one cleaning fluid and the chemical delivered to the nozzle.
A service machine for applying a chemical to one or more component of a vehicle, the service machine comprising:
- a housing;
- a valve assembly mounted to the housing and configured to receive a compressed air from a pressurized air source, water from a water source, and a chemical from a chemical reservoir;
- and
- a nozzle fluidly connected to the valve assembly and configured to spray the compressed air, the water and the chemical to the one or more component of the vehicle, wherein the valve assembly selectively controls the flow of the compressed air, the water and the chemical to the nozzle;
- and
- a controller configured to control the valve assembly to spray the compressed air, the water and the chemical from the nozzle in a predefined sequence and control the amount of compressed air, the water, and the chemical delivered to the nozzle,
- wherein the predefined sequence includes delivering the compressed air from the nozzle, delivering the water to the nozzle upon delivering the compressed air to the nozzle, delivering the compressed air to the nozzle after delivering the water to the nozzle, and delivering the chemical to the nozzle after delivering the compressed air to the nozzle.
