The present invention relates to a dryer for self-washing a vehicle, which is connected to an air-blowing unit (10) of a self-washing apparatus for vehicles, comprising: a body (110) formed in a rectangular shape having an internal space to open a lower surface, to have a nozzle plate (112) placed on an internal side on a lower side to be parallel to a lower surface and to form a discharge path (111) towards a front surface; a mounting unit (120) extended from the center of a rear surface of the body (110) to be extended in a pipe shape, to communicate with the internal space, to axially engage a bent pipe (121) which attaches or detaches an air-blowing tube (20), and to rotate the body (110); a discharge unit (130) engaged with a lower side of the nozzle plate (112) to be parallel, to finish a lower surface of the body (110), and to form a discharge slope surface (131) corresponding to the discharge path (111); a wheeled unit (140) engaged with an end unit of both sides of the body (110) to face each other, and to have a first wheel through a third wheel (141-143) rotating along a surface of the vehicle body towards a front side and a rear side of the body (110). The present invention is able to allow a user to conveniently make the dryer come in contact with the surface of the vehicle body and to perform an efficient drying work.

Cleaning vehicle for waste collecting bins

The invention relates to a cleaning vehicle for cleaning especially biological waste bins (15) in an environmentally friendly manner. To this end, the cleaning vehicle (1) is provided with a lift-pivot-and-lower device (16) with a vacuum gripper (18) that reliably picks up biological waste bins (15) of different shapes and sizes and pivots them to the receiving section (9). The spray lances (8, 29) are activated and closed-circuit cleaning water is sprayed into said section via said lances, said water being subsequently cleaned twice via a coarse sieve (36) and then via a fine filter (12). The water stored in the water tank (4) can be expanded several times within the circuit and by means of a high pressure pump (27) to such an extent that it is not necessary to add chemicals.
