Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of military equipment maintenance, and in particular to an electric bore cleaning machine. Background Art
[0002] After firing, the gun barrel is exposed to high temperature and pressure, and the residue from the gunpowder combustion adheres to the inner wall (the barrel), forming carbon deposits. If this residue is not promptly cleaned, it will affect the normal movement of the projectile within the barrel, causing wear and tear, and thus reducing the gun's accuracy. Therefore, cleaning and maintenance of the gun barrel is extremely important. Currently, in the Chinese military and other countries around the world, cleaning and maintenance of the gun barrel mainly relies on manual wiping.
[0003] Manual wiping requires holding a cleaning brush and rubbing the barrel repeatedly to clean it. However, for some large artillery, due to the large caliber and deep barrel of the gun, multiple people are often required to use a large cleaning brush to repeatedly wipe the barrel during cleaning. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and physical strength, but also due to the length limitation of the cleaning brush, it is difficult to clean the deep part of the barrel. Secondly, the deep barrel will also cause the cleaning brush to have a longer reciprocating motion range, making it difficult to concentrate on rubbing a certain point repeatedly, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the barrel. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides an electric barrel cleaning machine to solve the problems of low cleaning efficiency and incomplete cleaning during manual barrel cleaning.
[0005] The present invention provides an electric bore cleaning machine comprising a body, a travel mechanism, a vibrating mechanism, a cleaning component, and a driving component. The travel mechanism comprises a rotating shaft movably mounted on the body and a transmission mechanism that converts the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft into movement of the body within the gun barrel along the direction of the barrel's extension. The vibrating mechanism comprises a swash plate, a movable frame, and multiple spring rods. The movable frame is movably housed within the body and allows the rotating shaft to move through it. The movable frame has a cavity for accommodating the swash plate. The swash plate is sleeved and fixed to the rotating shaft, with its center located on the rotating shaft and its axis inclined relative to the axis of the rotating shaft. Multiple spring rods have one end fixed to the body and the other end arranged in a ring around the rotating shaft and abutting against the swash plate. The horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft drives the swash plate to rotate, driving the multiple spring rods to cyclically compress and release forces, thereby driving the movable frame to reciprocate within the gun barrel along the direction of the barrel's extension. The cleaning component is fixed to the movable frame and driven by the movable frame to clean the gun barrel reciprocally along the direction of the barrel's extension.
[0006] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a driving bevel gear fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft, and a plurality of driven bevel gears located on the same plane and meshing with the driving bevel gear; the driving bevel gear is driven by the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft to drive the plurality of driven bevel gears to rotate vertically, thereby pushing the body to move in the barrel along the extension direction of the barrel.
[0007] In some embodiments, the vibration mechanism further includes a connecting frame fixed to the machine body, the movable frame is accommodated in the connecting frame, and one end of the plurality of spring rods is fixed to the machine body by being fixed to the connecting frame.
[0008] In some of the embodiments, the vibration mechanism also includes a transmission assembly, the transmission assembly includes a connecting member and a pressure rod, one side of the connecting member is sleeved and fixed on the movable end of the spring rod, the other side of the connecting member is sleeved and fixed on the first end of the pressure rod, and the second end of the pressure rod is fixedly connected to the cleaning component.
[0009] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly further comprises two pressing balls, which are rollingly mounted inside the connecting member, the movable end of the spring rod contacts and presses the inclined surface of the swash plate through one of the pressing balls, and the first end of the pressing rod contacts the inclined surface of the swash plate through the other pressing ball.
[0010] In some embodiments, the swash plate has an inclination angle of 15 degrees.
[0011] In some of the embodiments, the traveling mechanism further includes a traveling wheel, which is coaxially fixed with the driven bevel gear, and the traveling wheel passes through the surface of the machine body and the protruding portion is used to contact the gun barrel.
[0012] In some embodiments, both the traveling wheel and the driven helical gear are provided in plurality, and the plurality of driven helical gears are distributed circumferentially around the driving helical gear.
[0013] In some embodiments, the traveling mechanism further includes a plurality of auxiliary wheels, which are distributed in a circular pattern along the surface of the machine body and have a radius of a circle equal to the radius of a circle formed by the plurality of traveling wheels.
[0014] In some embodiments, the cleaning component includes a cleaning head and a plurality of brushes, the plurality of brushes are fixedly mounted on the cleaning head, and one end of the cleaning head away from the swash plate is fixedly connected to the second end of the pressure rod.
[0015] In some embodiments, the cleaning head is cylindrical, and the plurality of brushes are evenly distributed along the cylindrical surface of the cleaning head.
[0016] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a servo motor, which is fixedly installed in the machine body and has an output end coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft.
[0017] Compared with the related art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By driving the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft can drive the driven helical gear to rotate through the active bevel gear, driving the body to move within the barrel. At the same time, the rotating shaft can also drive the swash plate to rotate together. Because each point on the swash plate will produce reciprocating motion along the axial direction during rotation, and the amplitude of this reciprocating motion is relatively small, the extension and retraction distance of the moving end of the spring rod is also short, and its movement process is close to vibration and relatively smooth. Compared with the cleaning method of using a moving cleaning brush to rub the barrel, this device can control the movement of the body within the barrel through the walking mechanism (one-stage friction cleaning), and can also drive the cleaning components to perform reciprocating vibration friction within the barrel through the vibration mechanism (two-end reciprocating friction cleaning). It can focus on deep cleaning of a specific point in the barrel, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the barrel and solving the problems of low cleaning efficiency and incomplete cleaning when manually cleaning the barrel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to more clearly understand the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the present application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] In this embodiment, an electric bore cleaning machine is provided. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3The device comprises a body 1, a traveling mechanism 2, a vibrating mechanism 3, a cleaning unit 4, and a driving unit 5. The body 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the traveling mechanism 2, vibrating mechanism 3, cleaning unit 4, and driving unit 5, and is responsible for carrying these mechanisms into the gun barrel to perform cleaning operations. The traveling mechanism 2 drives the body 1 within the gun barrel. The vibrating mechanism 3 cleans the gun barrel by reciprocatingly vibrating the cleaning unit 4. The driving unit 5 provides power to the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibrating cleaning unit 4.
[0023] The body 1 serves as a mounting support for the traveling mechanism 2, the vibrating mechanism 3, and the driving component 5. In this embodiment, the body 1 may be cylindrical in shape. The body 1 may include a housing and a mounting frame. The mounting frame may be used to mount the housing. The mounting frame may include multiple mounting rods 37, multiple discs 36, and multiple fixing bolts. The multiple mounting rods 37 are interspersed among the multiple discs 36 to form a cage structure, which is then secured by multiple fixing bolts. The housing may be fixedly mounted on the cage structure. To ensure effective cleaning, the diameter of the body 1 should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the gun barrel when manufacturing or selecting the model. (If the diameter is much smaller than the barrel diameter, the cleaning effect of the electric bore cleaning machine will be poor.)
[0024] The traveling mechanism 2 is used to drive the machine body 1 to move in the gun barrel. Figure 2 The traveling mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 movably mounted on the machine body 1 and a transmission mechanism that converts the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft 21 into movement of the machine body 1 in the direction of extension of the machine body in the gun barrel. The transmission mechanism includes a driving bevel gear 22, at least one driven bevel gear 23, at least two traveling wheels 24, and an auxiliary wheel 25. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably mounted in the machine body 1 and the axis of the rotating shaft 21 is coaxial with the axis of the machine body 1. The driving bevel gear 22 is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 21, and the driven bevel gear 23 is meshed with the driving bevel gear 22. The rotation of the rotating shaft 21 can drive the driving bevel gear 22 to rotate, and then the driving bevel gear 22 drives the driven bevel gear 23 to rotate. The axis of the driven bevel gear 23 is perpendicular to the axis of the machine body 1, and the rotation of the driven bevel gear 23 can be used as a means to drive the machine body 1 to move in the gun barrel. Specifically, a traveling wheel 24 is fixed at each end of each driven bevel gear 23, and a hole for the traveling wheel 24 to pass through can be opened on the surface of the body 1. The part through which the traveling wheel 24 passes can contact the gun barrel (the pressure and grip with the gun barrel can be achieved by gravity). When the driven bevel gear 23 rotates, it will drive the traveling wheel 24 to rotate, thereby achieving forward or backward movement in the gun barrel.
[0025] To enable the traveling mechanism 2 to better drive the movement of the machine body 1, in this embodiment, multiple traveling wheels 24 and driven bevel gears 23 are provided (in this embodiment, three driven bevel gears 23 are provided, with the included angle between the three driven bevel gears 23 being 120°, and six traveling wheels 24 are provided). These multiple driven bevel gears 23 can be distributed circumferentially around the driving bevel gear 22. During installation, the diameter of the circle formed by the traveling wheels 24 can be aligned with the diameter of the barrel. This increases the support surface between the traveling wheels 24 and the barrel, allowing the traveling wheels 24 in each direction to contact and press against the barrel (all traveling wheels 24 can drive the movement of the machine body 1), greatly improving the efficiency of the movement of the machine body 1 within the barrel. To enhance the stability of the machine body 1 during movement, in this embodiment, multiple auxiliary wheels 25 can be distributed circumferentially along the surface of the machine body 1, with the radius of the circle formed equal to the radius of the circle formed by the multiple traveling wheels 24. The traveling wheels 24 and auxiliary wheels 25 can be installed at both ends of the machine body 1, ensuring a balanced center of gravity for the machine body 1. Similarly, three auxiliary wheels 25 can be provided, and they can be arranged on the same circumference to form a regular hexagonal pattern with the three running wheels 24. The three running wheels 24 actively drive the machine body 1 to move, and the three auxiliary wheels 25 increase the contact surface and provide auxiliary support when the machine body 1 moves, thereby ensuring the stability of the machine body 1 when cleaning the gun barrel.
[0026] See also Figure 4 The vibration mechanism 3 includes a swash plate 31, a plurality of spring rods 32 and a movable frame 30. The movable frame 30 is movably accommodated in the machine body 1 and is provided with a cavity for accommodating the swash plate 31 for the rotating shaft 21 to move through. The movable frame 30 is provided with a cavity for accommodating the swash plate 31. The swash plate 31 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating shaft 21, and the center of the circle is located on the rotating shaft 21, and the axis is inclined to the axis of the rotating shaft 21. One end of the plurality of spring rods 32 is fixed on the machine body 1, and the other end is distributed in a ring shape with the rotating shaft 21 as the center and is supported on the swash plate 31; the swash plate 31 is driven to rotate by the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft 21, so as to drive the plurality of spring rods 32 to perform a cyclic force of compression and release, thereby driving the movable frame 30 to reciprocate in the barrel along the extension direction of the barrel.
[0027] The fixed end of the spring rod 32 can be fixed to the machine body 1 via one of the circular plates 36. The rotating shaft 21 drives the swash plate 31 to rotate. Because the swash plate 31 is tilted, during its rotation, each point on the surface of the swash plate 31 drives the spring rod 32 to compress and reset in the axial direction. The amplitude of this reciprocating motion is relatively small, resulting in a short extension and retraction distance of the moving end of the spring rod 32. The motion process is close to vibration and is relatively smooth, generating a small inertial force. This allows the traveling mechanism 2 to control the movement of the machine body 1 within the gun barrel while also driving the cleaning component 4 through the vibration mechanism 3 to perform reciprocating friction within the gun barrel, thereby achieving a cleaning effect.
[0028] The amplitude of axial movement is affected by the inclination angle of the swash plate 31. In this embodiment, the inclination angle (vertical direction) of the swash plate 31 is 15 degrees. By setting a smaller inclination angle, the telescopic distance of the moving end of the spring rod 32 is further reduced, making its movement process closer to high-frequency vibration. This allows the cleaning component 4 to rub the gun barrel multiple times in a short period of time, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the gun barrel.
[0029] The vibration mechanism 3 may further include a connecting member 33, a pressure rod 34, and two pressure balls 35. The connecting member 33 may be a hollow rectangular structure, and the swash plate 31 may be disposed in the hollow portion of the connecting member 33. One side of the connecting member 33 is sleeved and fixed to the movable end of the spring rod 32, and the other side of the connecting member 33 is sleeved and fixed to the first end of the pressure rod 34. The second end of the pressure rod 34 is fixedly connected to the cleaning component 4. (In this embodiment, two spring rods 32 and pressure rods 34 may be provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft 21.) When the movable end of the spring rod 32 reciprocates and expands and contracts, it drives the pressure rod 34 to move together through the connecting member 33, thereby driving the cleaning component 4 to reciprocate and rub the barrel to achieve cleaning.
[0030] To improve transmission efficiency, two pressing balls 35 are rollably mounted within the connector 33. The movable end of the spring rod 32 contacts and presses against the inclined surface of the swash plate 31 via one of the pressing balls 35, while the first end of the pressing rod 34 contacts the inclined surface of the swash plate 31 via the other pressing ball 35. The addition of the two rollable pressing balls 35 reduces friction between the swash plate 31, the spring rod 32, and the pressing rod 34, effectively improving transmission efficiency.
[0031] Please combine Figure 3 The drive component 5 includes a servo motor, which is fixedly mounted within the machine body 1 and has its output end coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 21. The output speed of the vibration mechanism 3 is related to the rotation speed of the swash plate 31. By changing the speed of the drive motor or using a speed change mechanism, the output speed can be adjusted, allowing the device to adapt to different operating speed requirements. The servo motor controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 21 to simultaneously drive the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibration mechanism 3 to operate. It is worth mentioning that if it is desired to separately control the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibration mechanism 3 (for example, to stop movement at a certain point in the gun barrel and continue cleaning that area, at which time the traveling mechanism 2 is not operating and the vibration mechanism 3 is operating), the rotating shaft 21 can also be divided into two, and two servo motors can be provided to drive the two rotating shafts 21 separately.
[0032] Please combine Figure 5The cleaning component 4 includes a cleaning head 41 and a plurality of brushes 42. The plurality of brushes 42 can be fixedly mounted on the cleaning head 41, and one end of the cleaning head 41 can be fixedly connected to the second end of the pressure rod 34. The cleaning head 41 can be cylindrical, and the plurality of brushes 42 can be evenly distributed along the cylindrical surface of the cleaning head 41. The sum of the radius of the cleaning head 41 and the length of the brushes 42 can be greater than the radius of the body 1. When the vibration mechanism 3 is activated, the second end of the pressure rod 34 drives the cleaning head 41 to repeatedly extend and retract and vibrate. During this process, the plurality of annularly distributed brushes 42 repeatedly rub the inside of the barrel and remove residue.
[0033] In summary, the drive component 5 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. This rotation drives the driven helical gear 23 via the active bevel gear 22, driving the body 1 to move within the bore. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 21 also drives the swash plate 31 to rotate. Because each point on the swash plate 31 undergoes axial reciprocating motion during rotation, and the amplitude of this reciprocating motion is relatively small, the retractable distance of the moving end of the spring rod 32 is also short, resulting in a relatively smooth and vibratory motion. Compared to cleaning methods that use a moving cleaning brush to rub the bore, this device uses the traveling mechanism 2 to control the movement of the body 1 within the bore (single-stage friction cleaning) while also driving the cleaning component 4 to perform reciprocating vibrational friction within the bore (two-end reciprocating friction cleaning). This allows for focused, in-depth cleaning of a specific area within the bore, thereby improving the cleaning effect and resolving the issues of inefficient and incomplete cleaning associated with manual cleaning.
