Specification

Field Of Invention
The present invention related to cleaning system. More particularly the invention relates to weapon cleaning system. Even more particularly the invention relates to dual frequency ultrasonic automated weapon cleaning system.
Background of the invention
It is very difficult to maintain the weapons because stored weapons have lots of thick oil deposits inside and also on the outer surface of the barrel. Sometimes we found surface deposits of lead, copper, carbon, sulphur, burn phosphorus etc. as a buildup on the firing bore. The stored weapons area incharge is no way responsible for the cleaning of the available weapons thus, at the time of emergency issuance and usage of the weapon as and when needed, weapon may or may not being good healthy condition. Whereas current manual cleaning process is improperly done and no one maintain the record which weapon is cleaned and when cleaned. Most of the time cleaning left to the user who may or may not perform the requisite task at proper intervals resulting in damage to the weapon. Manual cleaning process takes lot of time in cleaning and serviceability of the stored weapons remains doubtful. Some of such inventions are discussed below.

The present invention provides proper cleaning in less time which save precious time of user. The system provides cleaning record that helps in deliver servicing of weapon time to time, that increases life of the weapon.
The system comprises degreasing tank 101 i.e. tank 1 which is made up of stainless steel. The tank comprises two plate type heaters on each side to heat the bath which is operated at maximum 55°C with an additive, which is basically lightly alkaline in nature and the tank have air bubble agitation. The tank has timer and temperature controller to control the temperature and time of degreasing. The system has tub that comprises pipe at near top of tub to fill up water with a level controller. The side walls of tub have stoppers near bottom to support the arm cage when loaded for processing. The bottom of the degreasing tank is designed as a reverse cone slanting down in the shape of a funnel with an outgoing pipe and a gatewall which can drain out the liquid whenever it is to be remade. The gatewall helps in the removal of any oil/ sludge that comes out of the weapons during degreasing. At the top of the tank, there is another opening about 2 inches from the top at the centre of the width, that carries a pipe which is joined to the bottom pipe after the gatewall which acts as an overflow pipe in case of overfilling of the tank or in case of liquid increasing over the designated level.
The system also comprises dual frequency ultrasonic cleaning tank 102 i.e. tank 2 also has two plate type heaters on each side for heating which operates at maximum of 55°C. The tank uses dual frequency of ultrasonic to clean the degreased barrels/arms of copper, lead, sulphur, phosphorus, carbons, soot deposits etc. The tank also has a reverse cone bottom with a gatewall. Two long sides and bottom of the tank has ultrasonic transducers 2 which is arranged in a diamond shape, on bottom and on two longitudinal sides of horizontal tank. In case of vertical tank all the four vertical sides. These placements ensures that the ultrasonic vibration level of the solution inside the tank which is at the same level at all points within the solution to ensure same dislodging efficiency everywhere within the tank. As similar to degreasing tank 101, at the top of the tank, there is another opening about 2 inches from the top at the centre of the width, that carries a filler pipe with electronic level controller. The bottom of tub has tapper and the lower side of bottom there is a pipe going out with a gate value to drain the sludge and water when required. The top has another pipe which is joined to the bottom pipe after the gatewall which acts as an overflow pipe in case of overfilling of the tank or in case of liquid increasing over the designated level. The base liquid used in the tank is water which carries very mildly about 3% alkaline cleaning liquid which is heated with the help of 4 nos. plate heater and the solution protect the surface of the weapon.
The system also comprises rinse tank 103 i.e. tank 3 which is primarily used to remove any liquid carried forward from ultrasonic cleaning tank 102 and also has air bubble stirring action so that all nooks and corner of the weapon that get rid of any liquid carried from ultrasonic cleaning tank 102. The rinsing and air blow tank operated at 45-50°C and construction 2 of the tank is same as degreasing tank 101.
The system provides blow off station 104 which comprises taper bottom and a drain pipe. The drain pipe is permanently open and connected to drain. The tank has two manual nozzles, one is manually blow cold air and second is manually blow warm air.
The system also comprises lubrication station 105 which has shallow depth, taper bottom with a pipe on lower side going down into a small attached oil collection tank, this tank is detachable and has a filter with a small valve and nozzle. On this the oil spray gun is attached with a pipe and oil spray gun.
The system provides common component carrier which is made up of3mm stainless steel wire adequately welded so as to make half inch square openings on 5 sides and top side remains open, and has one handle each of 4 inches height and 6 inches width at the top of component carrier on the width side.
The system also comprises control panel which has ON-OFF switches, temperature controller to control the temperature of the tanks which operate at maximum 100°C, timers which has range from 30 sec to 60 mins to observe the time taken by the tanks.
The invention provides process for weapon cleaning which starts from the degreasing tank 101. First of all, the weapons put into the degreasing tank 101 to provide heat bath at maximum 55°C with additive. The tub is maintained as a temperature of 55°C and with a 3% solution of degreasing chemical i.e. alkaline in the degreasing tank 101. The arm cage is lowered in the degreasing tank 101, after the temperature is attained as 55°C and kept in that position for 7 mins, this process is controlled by the electronic timer. Then degreased arm cage is taken out from tank 1 to lowered in tank 2 i.e. dual frequency ultrasonic cleaning tank 102 which has temperature of 55°C. After lowering, the 25000 c/s starts and works for 25 mins for rough cavitations, at which it stops and 80000 c/s starts and runs for 25 mins for fine cavitations. The tank 2 comprises ultrasonic vibration of solution i.e. water which carries slightly about 3% of alkaline cleaning liquid to protect the surface of the weapon. Then arm cage is taken out from tank 2 to lowered in tank 3 i.e. rinse tank 103. After lowering, the timer is set at 3 mins and air bubbles agitate the water solution for one minute and stops. The water in tank 3 with 1% solution of rust inhibitor to remove the liquid if any carried forward from the tank 2 by using air bubble stirring action at 45-50°C and it takes 5-7 mins. Then the arm cage is taken out from tank 3 to blow off station 104 which has a taper bottom and a drain pipe, this drain pipe is permanently open and connected to drain. The station comprises two nozzles, one to manually blow cold air on cleaned but wet arms in the cage for about 2 mins so that all excess water is blown off the arms and another to manually blow warm air at maximum of 45°C on cleaned and blown off parts to dry them, the time taken for this process is 2 mins. Then arms are carried forward to the lubrication station 105 which comprises gun oil that is sprayed onto the weapon components and inside the barrel through a manual oil spray gun. The mist of oil is sprayed on individual Arm through an oil spray gun for 15 seconds each assisted by dry compressed air. After the oil spray the arms are cleaned and ready for inspection and use/storage.
