A proximity sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1, and the proximity sensor 9 can detect whether the paint spray nozzle 200 reaches a predetermined position where the cleaning nozzle 2 can be flushed.
[0053] The implementation principle of an automatic gun washing device in Example 1 of the present application is as follows: after the paint spray nozzle 200 has finished painting the current workpiece, the robotic arm 100 drives the paint spray nozzle 200 to move to a position close to the cleaning nozzle 2. When the proximity sensor 9 detects that the paint spray nozzle 200 has moved to a predetermined position, the water circuit valve 6 is activated, and the cleaning nozzle 2 sprays water to flush the paint spray nozzle 200. The flushing water flows toward the water collection tank 10, and the water collection tank 10 collects the sewage after flushing. Then, the water circuit valve 6 is closed, and the air circuit valve 7 is activated. The cleaning nozzle 2 blows out airflow to the paint spray nozzle 200, thereby drying the residual moisture in the paint spray nozzle 200. Finally, the air circuit valve 7 is closed, and the robotic arm 100 drives the paint spray nozzle 200 to move to the initial position.
[0054] Embodiment 2:
[0055] Embodiment 2 of the present application provides an automatic gun washing device.
[0056] The difference between Example 2 of the present application and Example 1 is that: Figure 5 and Figure 6 A driving assembly 3 is provided on the support frame 1, and the driving assembly 3 includes a water collecting bucket 33, which is fixedly connected to the support frame 1 through a rod, and the water valve 6 and the air valve 7 are both fixedly connected to the water collecting bucket 33, and the water pipe 4 and the air pipe 5 both pass through the water collecting bucket 33.

The first pipeline 211 is rotatably connected to the rotary joint 31, and the first pipeline 211 is communicated with the rotary joint 31. The first pipeline 211 is coaxial with the impeller 32 and fixedly connected. When the impeller 32 rotates, it can drive the first pipeline 211 to rotate. The first capsule 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the first pipeline 211.

A portion of the water flows into the second cavity 223 from the second pipeline 221 , causing the second cavity 223 to expand and deform and contact the outer wall of the paint spray head 200 , thereby blocking the outer wall of the paint spray head 200 and the top side of the cover shell 222 .
[0062] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The second pipeline 221 is fixedly connected with a second cleaning brush 224, which contacts the outer wall of the paint spray nozzle 200 and is spiral-shaped. When the first pipeline 211 rotates, the second pipeline 221 is driven to rotate, and the second pipeline 221 drives the second cleaning brush 224 to rotate. The second cleaning brush 224 wipes the outer wall of the paint spray nozzle 200 and can discharge the sewage flushed by the second pipeline 221 downward into the water collecting bucket 33. The bottom end of the water collecting bucket 33 is connected to the drain pipe 8, and the water collecting bucket 33 collects the sewage and discharges it from the drain pipe 8.
