Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of military equipment maintenance technology, and in particular to an electric rust-wiping machine. Background Technology

[0002] After firing, due to the high temperature and pressure environment of the gun barrel, the residue generated by the combustion of gunpowder adheres to the inner wall of the barrel (cannon chamber), forming carbon deposits. If these residues are not cleaned in time, they will affect the normal movement of the projectile in the cannon chamber, causing wear and tear on the chamber and reducing the firing accuracy of the artillery. Therefore, the cleaning and maintenance of the cannon chamber is extremely important.

[0003] Manual cleaning requires holding a cleaning brush and repeatedly rubbing the barrel. However, for some large artillery pieces, due to their large caliber and deep barrel, cleaning often requires multiple people to work together to use large cleaning brushes to repeatedly wipe the barrel. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and physical strength, but also makes it difficult to clean the deep parts of the barrel due to the limited length of the cleaning brush. Secondly, the depth of the barrel also results in a long back-and-forth movement range for the cleaning brush, making it difficult to concentrate on repeatedly rubbing a certain point, resulting in an incomplete cleaning of the barrel. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an electric rum wiping machine to solve the problems of low cleaning efficiency and insufficient cleaning when manually wiping the rum.

[0005] This utility model provides an electric barrel cleaning machine, including a body, a traveling mechanism, a vibration mechanism, a cleaning component, and a driving component. The traveling mechanism includes a rotating shaft movably mounted on the body and a transmission mechanism that converts the horizontal rotation of the shaft into movement of the body within the barrel along its extension direction. The vibration mechanism includes a swashplate, a moving frame, and multiple spring rods. The moving frame is movably housed within the body and allows the rotating shaft to pass through; the moving frame has a cavity for accommodating the swashplate. The swashplate is sleeved and fixed to the rotating shaft, with its center located on the shaft and its axis inclined to the shaft's axis. One end of each spring rod is fixed to the body, and the other end is arranged in a ring around the rotating shaft and abuts against the swashplate. The horizontal rotation of the shaft drives the swashplate to rotate, causing the multiple spring rods to undergo cyclic compression and release forces, thereby driving the moving frame to reciprocate within the barrel along its extension direction. The cleaning component is fixed to the moving frame and is driven by the moving frame to reciprocate within the barrel along its extension direction to clean it.

[0006] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a driving helical gear fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft and a plurality of driven helical gears located on the same plane and all meshing with the driving helical gear; the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft drives the driving helical gear to drive the plurality of driven helical gears to rotate vertically, thereby pushing the machine body to move along the extension direction of the barrel within the barrel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the vibration mechanism further includes a connecting frame fixed to the body, a movable frame housed within the connecting frame, and one end of a plurality of spring rods fixed to the body by means of the connecting frame.

[0008] In some embodiments, the vibration mechanism further includes a transmission assembly comprising a connector and a pressure rod. One side of the connector is sleeved and fixed to the moving end of the spring rod, and the other side of the connector is sleeved and fixed to the first end of the pressure rod, the second end of which is fixedly connected to the cleaning component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly further includes two pressure balls that are rolled inside the connector, the moving end of the spring rod contacting and pressing against the inclined surface of the swashplate through one of the pressure balls, and the first end of the pressure rod contacting the inclined surface of the swashplate through the other pressure ball.

[0010] In some of these embodiments, the swashplate is tilted at an angle of 15 degrees.

[0011] In some embodiments, the walking mechanism further includes a walking wheel, which is coaxially fixed with the driven helical gear, and the walking wheel extends out of the surface of the machine body and the part of the wheel that extends out is used to contact the barrel.

[0012] In some of these embodiments, both the traveling wheel and the driven helical gear are provided with multiple driven helical gears arranged in a circular pattern around the driving helical gear.

[0013] In some embodiments, the walking mechanism further includes multiple auxiliary wheels, which are circumferentially distributed along the surface of the body and the radius of the circle formed is equal to the radius of the circle formed by the multiple walking wheels.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cleaning component includes a cleaning head and a plurality of brushes, the brushes being fixedly mounted on the cleaning head, and the end of the cleaning head away from the swashplate being fixedly connected to the second end of the pressure bar.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cleaning head is cylindrical, and multiple brushes are evenly distributed along the cylindrical surface of the cleaning head.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drive component includes a servo motor, which is fixedly mounted in the housing and has its output end fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft.

[0017] Compared with related technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] By driving the rotating shaft to rotate, the active helical gear drives the driven helical gear to rotate, moving the machine body within the gun barrel. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft also drives the swashplate to rotate. Because each point on the swashplate reciprocates along the axial direction during rotation, and the amplitude of this reciprocating motion is relatively small, the extension and retraction distance of the spring rod's moving end is also short. The movement process is close to vibration and relatively stable. Compared to the cleaning method of using a moving cleaning brush to rub the gun barrel, this device, through its walking mechanism controlling the movement of the machine body within the gun barrel (one-stage friction cleaning), can also use a vibration mechanism to drive the cleaning components to reciprocate and vibrate within the gun barrel (two-stage reciprocating friction cleaning). This allows for concentrated, deep cleaning of a specific area within the gun barrel, thereby improving the cleaning effect and solving the problems of low cleaning efficiency and insufficient cleaning during manual barrel cleaning.

[0026] To better understand the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this application, the application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] This embodiment provides an electric ripper; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The system includes: a body 1, a traveling mechanism 2, a vibration mechanism 3, a cleaning component 4, and a drive component 5. The body 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the traveling mechanism 2, vibration mechanism 3, cleaning component 4, and drive component 5, and is responsible for carrying these mechanisms into the gun barrel for cleaning. The traveling mechanism 2 drives the body 1 to move within the gun barrel. The vibration mechanism 3 cleans the gun barrel by reciprocating vibration of the cleaning component 4. The drive component 5 provides power to the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibration cleaning component 4.

[0028] The machine body 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the walking mechanism 2, vibration mechanism 3, and drive component 5. In this embodiment, the machine body 1 can be cylindrical in shape. The machine body 1 may include a shell and a mounting frame. The mounting frame can be used to mount the shell and may include multiple mounting rods 37, multiple discs 36, and multiple fixing bolts. The multiple mounting rods 37 are inserted into the multiple discs 36 to form a cage structure, which is then fixed by the multiple fixing bolts. The shell can be fixedly mounted on the cage structure. To ensure cleaning effectiveness, when manufacturing or selecting the model of the machine body 1, it should be ensured that the diameter of the machine body 1 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the gun barrel (a diameter much smaller than the gun barrel diameter will result in poor cleaning effectiveness of the electric barrel cleaning machine).

[0029] The traveling mechanism 2 is used to drive the body 1 to move within the gun barrel. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The traveling mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 movably mounted on the body 1 and a transmission mechanism that converts the horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft 21 into movement of the body 1 within the barrel along the barrel's extension direction. The transmission mechanism includes a driving helical gear 22, at least one driven helical gear 23, at least two traveling wheels 24, and auxiliary wheels 25. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably mounted within the body 1, and its axis is coaxial with the axis of the body 1. The driving helical gear 22 is fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft 21, and the driven helical gear 23 meshes with the driving helical gear 22. Rotation of the rotating shaft 21 drives the driving helical gear 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven helical gear 23 to rotate. The axis of the driven helical gear 23 is perpendicular to the axis of the body 1, thus the rotation of the driven helical gear 23 serves as the means to drive the body 1 to move within the barrel. Specifically, each driven helical gear 23 has a traveling wheel 24 fixed at both ends. A through-hole can be opened on the surface of the machine body 1 for the traveling wheel 24 to pass through. The part of the traveling wheel 24 that passes through can contact the gun barrel (it can be pressed and gripped by gravity). When the driven helical gear 23 rotates, it will drive the traveling wheel 24 to rotate, thereby realizing forward or backward movement in the gun barrel.

[0030] To enable the walking mechanism 2 to better drive the body 1, in this embodiment, multiple walking wheels 24 and driven helical gears 23 can be provided (in this embodiment, three driven helical gears 23 are provided, with an included angle of 120° between the three driven helical gears 23, and six walking wheels 24 are provided). The multiple driven helical gears 23 can be arranged circumferentially around the driving helical gear 22, and during installation, the diameter of the circumference formed by the walking wheels 24 can be kept consistent with the diameter of the gun barrel. This increases the support surface between the walking wheels 24 and the gun barrel, allowing the walking wheels 24 in each direction to contact and press against the gun barrel (all walking wheels 24 can drive the movement of the body 1), greatly improving the movement efficiency of the body 1 within the gun barrel. To improve the stability of the body 1 during movement, in this embodiment, multiple auxiliary wheels 25 can be arranged circumferentially along the surface of the body 1, with the radius of the circle formed being equal to the radius of the circle formed by the multiple walking wheels 24. Furthermore, the walking wheels 24 and auxiliary wheels 25 can be installed at both ends of the body 1, ensuring the balance of the body 1's center of gravity. Similarly, three auxiliary wheels 25 can be provided, and together with the three traveling wheels 24, they form a regular hexagonal distribution on the same circumference. The three traveling wheels 24 actively drive the body 1 to move, and the three auxiliary wheels 25 increase the contact surface to provide support when the body 1 moves, ensuring the stability of the body 1 when cleaning the gun barrel.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 The vibration mechanism 3 includes a swashplate 31, multiple spring rods 32, and a movable frame 30. The movable frame 30 is movably housed within the body 1 and allows the rotating shaft 21 to pass through. The movable frame 30 has a cavity for accommodating the swashplate 31. The swashplate 31 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating shaft 21, with its center located on the rotating shaft 21 and its axis inclined to the axis of the rotating shaft 21. One end of the multiple spring rods 32 is fixed to the body 1, and the other end is arranged in a ring around the rotating shaft 21 and abuts against the swashplate 31. The horizontal rotation of the rotating shaft 21 drives the swashplate 31 to rotate, thereby driving the multiple spring rods 32 to undergo cyclic compression and release forces, thus driving the movable frame 30 to reciprocate within the barrel along the barrel extension direction.

[0032] The fixed end of the spring rod 32 can be fixed to the body 1 via one of the discs 36. The rotating shaft 21 drives the swashplate 31 to rotate. Since the swashplate 31 is inclined, during the rotation of the swashplate 31, each point on the disc surface of the swashplate 31 will drive the spring rod 32 to compress and reset along the axial direction. The amplitude of this reciprocating motion is relatively small, which makes the extension and retraction distance of the moving end of the spring rod 32 also short. Its motion process is close to vibration and relatively stable, and the inertial force generated is also small. This allows the traveling mechanism 2 to control the movement of the body 1 in the barrel, while also driving the cleaning component 4 to reciprocate and rub in the barrel through the vibration mechanism 3, thereby achieving the cleaning effect.

[0033] The amplitude of axial movement is affected by the tilt angle of the swashplate 31. In this embodiment, the tilt angle (vertical direction) of the swashplate 31 is 15 degrees. By setting a smaller tilt angle, the extension and retraction 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 barrel multiple times in a short time, improving the cleaning effect on the barrel.

[0034] The vibration mechanism 3 may further include a connector 33, a pressure rod 34, and two pressure balls 35. The connector 33 may be a hollow rectangular structure, and the swashplate 31 may be disposed in the hollow part of the connector 33. One side of the connector 33 is sleeved and fixed to the moving end of the spring rod 32, and the other side of the connector 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 two pressure rods 34 may be provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating shaft 21). When the moving end of the spring rod 32 reciprocates, it will drive the pressure rod 34 to move together through the connector 33, thereby driving the cleaning component 4 to reciprocate and rub the gun barrel to achieve cleaning.

[0035] To improve transmission efficiency, two rolling bearing balls 35 are installed inside the connector 33. The moving end of the spring rod 32 contacts and presses against the inclined surface of the swashplate 31 through one of the bearing balls 35, and the first end of the bearing rod 34 contacts the inclined surface of the swashplate 31 through the other bearing ball 35. By adding two rolling bearing balls 35, the friction between the swashplate 31 and the spring rod 32 and the bearing rod 34 is reduced, effectively improving its transmission efficiency.

[0036] Please combine Figure 3 The drive component 5 includes a servo motor, which is fixedly installed inside the body 1 and its output end is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 21. The output speed of the vibration mechanism 3 is related to the rotation speed of the swashplate 31. By changing the speed of the drive motor or using a speed-changing mechanism, the output speed can be adjusted, allowing the device to adapt to different working speed requirements. The rotating shaft 21 can be rotated by the servo motor to drive the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibration mechanism 3 simultaneously. It is worth mentioning that if it is desired to control the traveling mechanism 2 and the vibration mechanism 3 separately (for example, stopping movement at a certain point in the barrel and continuously cleaning that point, in which case the traveling mechanism 2 does not operate and the vibration mechanism 3 operates), two rotating shafts 21 can be set up, and two servo motors can be set up to drive the two rotating shafts 21 separately.

[0037] Please combine Figure 5The cleaning component 4 includes a cleaning head 41 and multiple brushes 42. The multiple 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 multiple 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 will drive the cleaning head 41 to repeatedly extend and retract and vibrate. During this process, the multiple annularly distributed brushes 42 will repeatedly rub the inside of the barrel and remove residues.

[0038] In summary, the rotating shaft 21 is driven to rotate by the driving component 5. When the shaft 21 rotates, the driven helical gear 23 is driven to rotate by the active helical gear 22, causing the machine body 1 to move within the gun barrel. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 21 also drives the swashplate 31 to rotate. Since each point on the swashplate 31 reciprocates 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 32 is also short. Its movement is close to vibration and relatively stable. Compared to the cleaning method of using a moving cleaning brush to rub the gun barrel, this device, through the walking mechanism 2 controlling the movement of the machine body 1 within the gun barrel (one-stage friction cleaning), can also drive the cleaning component 4 to reciprocate and vibrate within the gun barrel through the vibration mechanism 3 (two-stage reciprocating friction cleaning). This allows for concentrated, deep cleaning of a specific area within the gun barrel, thereby improving the cleaning effect and solving the problems of low cleaning efficiency and insufficient cleaning during manual cleaning.
