[0003] After the gun barrel fires a shell, the inner wall of the gun barrel needs to be cleaned. Currently, the inner wall of the gun barrel is cleaned by multiple soldiers at the same time. The soldiers use a pole with cotton cloth tied at one end to push and pull the pole to create friction between the cotton cloth and the inner wall of the gun barrel to clean the inner wall of the gun barrel. Residues will adhere to the inner wall, which will reduce the smoothness of the inner wall and increase the friction resistance. Therefore, corresponding equipment is needed to clean the inner wall, and laser cleaning can effectively remove impurities from the inner wall of the gun barrel.

[0004] However, the existing laser cleaning equipment usually has the following shortcomings: after cleaning, the smoke and charred materials generated inside will still adhere to the inner wall of the barrel.

Secondly, a hollow motor is arranged in the cleaning end head 2 to drive the cleaning end head 2 to rotate, so that the laser rotates and sweeps the inner wall of the barrel for cleaning. It is easy to imagine that an air curtain mechanism is also arranged on the cleaning end head 2 to prevent the smoke generated during the cleaning process from interfering with the laser equipment;

[0047] A walking mechanism 3, wherein the walking mechanism 3 is arranged on the laser cleaning tube 1 and is used to drive the laser cleaning tube 1 to move along the axis of the gun barrel;

[0048] The walking mechanism 3 includes multiple walking parts 31 and expansion parts 32, wherein the walking parts 31 are used to drive the device to move, and the expansion parts 32 are used to adjust the contact between the walking parts 31 and the pipe wall;

[0049] The cleaning part 4 is arranged between the walking parts 31, and the cleaning part 4 is distributed in a ring shape and is transmission-connected with the walking parts 31. The cleaning part 4 is used for synchronously expanding with the walking parts 31 to contact the inner wall of the gun barrel and clean the inner wall.

[0050] When the present application is in use, the walking mechanism 3 and the cleaning part 4 provided on the laser cleaning tube 1 can be expanded synchronously and fit with the inner wall of the gun barrel. As the cleaning end 2 on the laser cleaning tube 1 is cleaned, the power generated by the walking mechanism 3 can drive the entire device to progress axially to perform uniform laser cleaning on the inner wall of the gun barrel. During the cleaning process, the attachments on the inner wall of the gun barrel can be removed by the roller brush of the cleaning part 4.

[0051] In this application, it should be noted that Figure 3As shown, the cleaning part 4 includes a fixing ring 41 arranged on the laser cleaning tube 1;
