[0028] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0029] See Figure 1 - Figure 14 This embodiment provides an automatic rotating cleaning device for gun barrels, including a cylinder 1, a drive motor 2, a drive wheel 3, a main shaft 4, a first rotating cleaning brush 5, and a second rotating cleaning brush 6.

[0030] The drive motor 2 is installed inside the cylinder 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to the main shaft 4. The main shaft 4 is rotatably mounted inside the cylinder 1 and has a worm gear mounted on it. The drive wheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder 1 and has a worm gear mounted on it. The main shaft 4 drives the drive wheel 3 to rotate through the worm gear mechanism. There are three drive wheels 3, evenly distributed around the main shaft 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two drive wheels 3 on the cylinder 1, one at the head of the cleaning device and the other in the middle of the cleaning device. Three drive wheels 3 are set at each location, which can ensure that the drive device moves smoothly and effectively in the barrel.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a gear 41 is provided on the main shaft 4. The first driven shaft 7 and the second driven shaft 8 are rotatably disposed inside the cylinder 1. A first gear 71 is provided at one end of the first driven shaft 7 and a second gear 72 is provided at the other end. A third gear 81 is provided at the middle position of the second driven shaft 8. The first gear 71 and the gear 41 mesh for transmission, and the second gear 72 and the third gear 81 mesh for transmission.

[0033] The first rotating cleaning brush 5 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder 1, and a fourth gear 511 is provided inside to mesh with the first gear 71.

[0034] The second rotating cleaning brush 6 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder 1, and a fifth gear 611 is provided inside to mesh with the third gear 81.

[0035] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the first rotating cleaning brush 5 and the second rotating cleaning brush 6 are arranged at a distance on the cylinder 1 and are driven to rotate by the drive motor 2, with opposite rotation directions. Cleaning the gun barrel by rotating the brushes is applicable to various working conditions; the opposite rotation directions of the two brushes allow for cleaning of impurities inside the gun barrel from two different directions, preventing impurities from sticking together and not being cleaned properly.

[0036] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, the first rotating cleaning brush 5 includes a first rotating sleeve 51, a first semi-circular fixing block 52, and a second semi-circular fixing block 53. The first rotating sleeve 51 is rotatably mounted in the cylinder 1 via a bearing. A through hole is machined on the first semi-circular fixing block 52, and a threaded hole is provided on the second semi-circular fixing block 53. The first semi-circular fixing block 52 and the second semi-circular fixing block 53 are fixedly connected and mounted on the first rotating sleeve 51 by bolts. A fourth gear 511 is opened in the inner hole of the first rotating sleeve 51. Several steel wires are provided on the first semi-circular fixing block 52 and the second semi-circular fixing block 53 to form a wire brush.

[0037] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown in Figure 11, the second rotating cleaning brush 6 includes a second rotating sleeve 61, a third semicircular fixing block 62, and a fourth semicircular fixing block 63. The second rotating sleeve 61 is rotatably mounted in the cylinder 1 via bearings. A through hole is machined on the third semicircular fixing block 62, and a threaded hole is provided on the fourth semicircular fixing block 63. The third semicircular fixing block 62 and the fourth semicircular fixing block 63 are fixedly connected and mounted on the second rotating sleeve 61 by bolts. A fifth gear 611 is opened in the inner hole of the second rotating sleeve 61. Several steel wires are provided on the third semicircular fixing block 62 and the fourth semicircular fixing block 63 to form a wire brush.

[0038] Because wire brushes are consumable parts, this structural design makes it easy to replace and use them.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 1 consists of the first part 11, the second part 12, the third part 13, the fourth part 14, the fifth part 15, the sixth part 16, the seventh part 17, the eighth part 18, and the ninth part 19, from front to back.

[0040] The first part 11 is an end cap, which is connected to the second part by bolts. For example... Figure 12 As shown, three holes are opened on the side wall of the second part 12 for installing the drive wheel 3, several through holes and threaded holes are opened at one end for installation and connection, and a through hole is opened in the middle for installing the spindle.

[0041] like Figure 13 As shown, the seventh part 17 and the second part 12 have the same shape and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. Figure 5 As shown, the two ends of the connecting rod 20 have external threads, which fix the two together.

[0042] Parts 13, 14, 15, and 16 all have through holes in the middle for the main shaft and connecting rod 20 to pass through. Parts 13 and 12 are fixedly connected by bolts, as are 14 and 15, and 16 and 17. Part 18 is connected to part 19 at one end and to part 17 at the other end. These parts are connected together to form the cylindrical body 1.

[0043] The main shaft can be equipped with two bearings, located in the seventh part and the second part respectively.

[0044] The first driven shaft 7 is equipped with two bearings, which are respectively located in the sixth part and the third part.

[0045] The second driven shaft 8 is equipped with two bearings, which are respectively located in the fourth part and the third part.

[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0047] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
