Automatic Car Washing system

Project Title

Automatic Car Washing system

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Automatic Car Washing is a PLC based project. Using conveyor the first car washing system was opened in USA in 1940.This system has hoist system which wasused in pull system. Now days latest advantages in science have made it possible This was the replacement of pushing to achieve great reliability and efficiency in the automatic car washing system. PLC is an automation which plays a very important role. This conveyer course is very common in industrial countries. But in the conveyer practice having drawback that we cannot clean up the downside of the car. We are using the pressure cylinder to lift the car so we can clean the downside of the car in our Project.

Project Objectives

In Automatic Car Washing System, we performed all the operations needed to clean the car fruitfully by using PLC after achievement of the above processes by mechanism of this system car washing will be cost effective, time saving and pollution free. By using this process we can clean up the car up to 95%. 

Project Implementation Method

The function of the car washing system is when the car is entered in the washing room the car is placed on the small conveyor belt. The dc motor is used in the conveyor belt. The detergent water to clean the car is provided by the solenoid valve. This conveyer takes car to the lift mechanism. Lift mechanism lift the car upside where the brushing system and sprinkler system is used. Brushing system is used to clean the car and the sprinkler system is used to wash the car using Component Various types of components are used in this project: 1.1 Proximity sensor It finds the availability of nearby objects by emit EMF or a beam of electromagnetic radiation without any physical contacts. We have used inductive type in our project, proximity sensor for detection of metal cars. 

Benefits of the Project

• Lower water consumption
• Less waste
• Recycled water
• More environmentally friendly products Lower Water Consumption Automatic car washes are very efficient when it comes to water usage. ...
• Saving time and Money

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Putting all discussions together, one can conclude that the proposed method for controlling automatic car wash removes restrictions that exist on common systems and introduces a unique way to create error-free and highly efficient project. This prototype will help to perform car washing automatically and results in high quality end product. It requires less man power, time and no pollution.
