Description

Die Erfkisung betrifft einen Turm für Kampfpanzer mit von der Hauptwaffe getrennt angeordnetem Mannschaftsraum, der frontal und flankierend durch eine verstärkte Panzerung geschützt ist.The invention relates to a turret for battle tanks with the crew compartment separated from the main weapon, the frontal and flanking through reinforced armor is protected.

Gemäß einem älteren Vorschlag dieser Art (DE-PS 14 53 899) ist der Waffenraum bugseitig vor dem Mannschaftsraum angeordnet. Diese Lösung hat den Nachteil, daß durch die verstärkte Panzerung das Fahrzeug gewichtsmäßig stark belastet wird.According to an older proposal of this type (DE-PS 14 53 899), the weapon room is on the front of the bow Crew room arranged. This solution has the disadvantage that, due to the reinforced armor, the Vehicle is heavily loaded in terms of weight.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe bestand darin, einen Turm für Kampfpanzer der eingangs erwähnten Bauart so zu gestalten, daß bei möglichst geringem G?samtg· ^icht ein hoher Panzerschutz für die Besatzui?3 in der Hauptkampfrichtung erreicht wirdThe object of the invention was to provide a turret for battle tanks To design the type mentioned at the beginning so that with the lowest possible total weight, a high level of armor protection for the Besatzui? 3 is reached in the main fighting direction

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features from the characterizing part of the Claim.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß die Materialmassen der Hauptwaffe in den Panzerschutz mit einbezogen werden können, so daß es zu einer Einsparung an Panzerung kommt.The arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the material masses of the main weapon in the Armor protection can be included, so that there is a saving in armor.

Auf diese Weise wird eine erhebliche G ?wichtseinsparung erreicht.In this way a considerable weight saving is achieved.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown in the drawing.

Der nur schematisch angedeutete Kampfpanzer 1 besitzt einen Turm 2, der um die senkrechte Drehachse 3 drehbar ist. Der Mannschaftsraum 4 ist frontal und flankierend bis zu einem Winkel von 30° durch die verstärkte Panzerung 5 geschützt und liegt in der Hauptsache rechts der die senkrechte Drehachse 3 enthaltenden Längsmittelebene 3a. Die Hauptwaffe 6 ist außerhalb des durch verstärkte Panzerung 5 geschützten Raumes links von der Längsmittelebene 3a angeordnet und wird in bekannter Weise vom Mannschaftsraum 4 aus fernbedient. Die übrigen Teile des Turmes 2 sind durch eine schwächere, Splitterschutz gebende Panzerung 7 geschützt.The battle tank 1, indicated only schematically, has a turret 2 which can be rotated about the vertical axis of rotation 3. The crew compartment 4 is frontally and flanking protected up to an angle of 30 ° by the reinforced armor 5 and is mainly to the right of the longitudinal center plane 3a containing the vertical axis of rotation 3. The main weapon 6 is arranged outside the area protected by reinforced armor 5 to the left of the longitudinal center plane 3a and is remote-controlled in a known manner from the crew compartment 4. The remaining parts of the tower 2 are protected by a weaker armor 7 providing anti-splinter protection.

Durch die exzentrische Anordnung der Hauptwaffe 6 wird beim Schuß durch den Rückstoß ein Drehmoment auf Turm 2 und Panzer 1 ausgeübt. Dadurch ändert sich während der Schußabgabe die Richtung der Rohrseelenachse. Der sich daraus ergebende Fehler kann entweder dadurch ausgeglichen werden, daß d>-r Rücklauf über eine solche Strecke ungebremst ist. bis das Geschoß die Rohrmündung verlassen hat, dazu genügt ein ungebremster Rücklauf von etwa 50 mm. oder dadurch, daß der Winkelfehler im Fernlenksystem berücksichtigt wird.Due to the eccentric arrangement of the main weapon 6, a torque is generated by the recoil when the shot is fired exercised on tower 2 and tank 1. As a result, the direction of the changes while the shot is fired Tube core axis. The resulting error can either be compensated for by d> -r Return over such a distance is unbraked. until the projectile has left the muzzle, in addition an unbraked return of about 50 mm is sufficient. or in that the angle error in the remote control system is taken into account.
