The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for determining an ACTUAL delivery volume for a dosing pump (DP) intended for delivering a substance from a container (B), and which is further intended for use with an adjustment means for manually adjusting a TARGET delivery volume for use in a vehicle washing system (WA). The method comprises the following method steps: Reading in a container data record (bds) for the container (B) from which the substance is to be delivered by means of the dosing pump (DP); reading in a digital level value (fs) representing a level measured in the container (B) by means of at least one analog level sensor (FSS) or reading in a digital pressure value (p) representing a pressure measured in the container (B) by means of at least one analog pressure sensor (DS) and reading in a digital density value (φ) for the substance to be delivered by the dosing pump (DP); Determining and outputting the ACTUAL delivery volume (ist-fv) which has actually been delivered by the dosing pump (DP) in a measuring time interval, based on the read-in digital level value (fs) or the read-in digital pressure value (p) and the read-in density value (φ) and on the basis of the read-in vessel data record (bds).

The quality of the washing process will be improved and the consumption of substances to be added will be reduced.

OUTDOOR SURFACE CLEANING APPARATUS WITH SPRAY MECHANISM
20230055153 · 2023-02-23 ·

The invention provides a rugged cleaning device configured to clean outdoor surfaces using a variety of fluids and techniques. The outdoor cleaning device includes a brush head, a motor and a transmission for providing a driving force to the brush head, a fluid tank for storing a fluid (e.g., a cleaning solution or detergent), and a controller for controlling mixing (or not mixing) the fluid stored in the fluid tank during operation of the outdoor cleaning device. The controller may enable fluid from the cleaning tank to be mixed with a second fluid (e.g., water) prior to being dispensed via a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles may be formed via grooves on an inner cover and an outer cover may be provided to close off the grooves to form fluid channels. The fluid channels enable the distribution of cleaning fluids in various directions, enhancing the brush head's cleaning capability.
