Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the indirect aiming of a gun arranged on a vehicle at a target with the aid of an electronic computer and a device for carrying out the method.
  • the present invention aims at a significant simplification compared to the known devices in order to avoid errors in the setting and to be able to aim the gun as quickly and “foolproof” as possible.
  • a rocket gun on a platform 1 which is rotatably mounted on a ring 2 about a side direction axis Z.
  • the ring 2 is attached to a vehicle, not shown.
  • An armored housing 3 is arranged on the platform 1 and offers space as an operating space for the shooter.
  • the lateral direction axis Z is located in the longitudinal center plane of the housing 3.
  • a shield pin 4, which is perpendicular to the mentioned longitudinal center plane, is rotatably mounted in two bearing blocks 5 fastened to the platform 1.
  • Tube bundles 6 of a rocket launcher are arranged on both sides of the housing 3 and are attached to the shield pin 4.
  • spindles 7 are provided with which they can be pivoted about the shield pin 4.
  • a directional periscope 8 is pivotally supported in the ceiling 10 of the housing 3 with the aid of a ball joint 9.
  • the center point of the ball joint 9 is on the one hand on the optical axis of the telescopic sight and on the other hand on the lateral directional axis Z of the gun.
  • the view 11 of the directional periscope 8 is located inside the housing 3 and the view 12 of the directional periscope 8 is located above the ceiling 10 of the housing 3.
  • the housing 13 of an electronic computer 14 is attached to the lower end of the directional periscope 8.
  • a ceiling 15 of the housing 13 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the directional periscope 8 and has a circular bubble 16.
  • a carrier 17 is fastened to the housing 3, on which a table 18 is supported.
  • a frame 19 is rotatably mounted, on which a shaft 20 is attached.
  • a gear 21 is fixed, which is in engagement with a second gear 22.
  • the second gear 22 is connected to a third gear 24 via a horizontal shaft 23.
  • This third gear 24 is in engagement with a fourth gear 27, which is connected to a fifth gear 25 via a vertical shaft 26.
  • This fifth gear 25 is in engagement with an internal toothing of the ring 2.
  • the two shafts 23 and 26 are mounted on the platform 1 in a manner not shown.
  • a carriage 28 is slidably mounted in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction axis Z.
  • the carriage 28 forms the guide for a second carriage 29 in a direction which is perpendicular to both the lateral direction axis Z and the direction of movement of the carriage 28.
  • Two threaded spindles 40 and 41 are mounted on the one hand in the frame 19 and on the other hand in the slide 28 and serve to move the two slides 28 and 29 which form a cross table.
  • a carrier 30 is fastened to the slide 29 and has two cheeks 31 which have an axis Wear 32, which is perpendicular to the axis 20.
  • a pivot piece 33 is arranged pivotable about the axis 32 and has a fork-shaped end which is pivotally connected to a second pivot piece 35 by means of an axis 34.
  • the axis 34 is parallel to the axis 32 and perpendicular to another axis 36 which is fastened in the joint piece 35.
  • a third joint piece 37 is pivotable about the axis 36 and is connected to an axis 38 which is mounted in the housing 13 of the computer 14 and carries a code disk 39 at its upper end.
  • the axis 38 is arranged coaxially to the optical axis of the directional periscope 8.
  • the axes 34, 36, 38 intersect at one point.
  • the code disc 39 When the vehicle is horizontal and the gun is strapped to the vehicle, ie if the gun axis is parallel to the vehicle axis, the code disc 39 is in its starting position.
  • a shaft 42 is rotatably mounted parallel to the shield pin 4.
  • One arm 43 is attached to each of the shaft 42 and the shield pin 4 and the two arms 43 are connected to one another via a rod 44.
  • the arms 43 are parallel to each other and their effective parts are of equal length.
  • two stub axles 45 are fastened, the common axis of which intersects the axis of the shaft 42 at right angles and lies in a plane directed at right angles to the optical axis of the directional periscope 8.
  • One end of a fork 46 is articulated to each of the two stub axles 45, the other ends of which are attached to an axis 48 of a joint piece 47.
  • the joint piece 47 is pivotable about an axis 50 which is mounted in a carrier 49.
  • the two axes 48 and 50 are parallel to the stub axles 45.
  • the carrier 49 is rotatably mounted on a connecting piece 51.
  • the axis of rotation of the carrier 49 intersects the optical axis of the directional periscope 8 and is directed at right angles to it.
  • a code disk 52 is fastened to a shaft 53 which is mounted in the housing 13 and is parallel to the connecting piece 51.
  • the shaft 53 is connected to the carrier 49 via a parallelogram linkage 54.
  • a wall 55 of the computer housing 13 has five windows according to FIG. 5.
  • Selector switches 56, 57, 58 are arranged in the three lower windows.
  • Each of these selector switches 56, 57, 58 has four manually adjustable digit rolls, which protrude through the windows to the outside.
  • side angles or azimuth angles and elevation angles of the tube bundle 6 are indicated by luminous digits.
  • a pivoting of the tube bundle 6 about the shield pin axis 4 is transmitted through the parallelogram linkage 43, 44 to the shaft 42 and through this via the tabs 46 the joint piece 47, the carrier 49 and the connecting piece 51 to the parallelogram linkage 54, through which the code disk 52 is driven becomes.
  • the computer 14 determines which the current elevation angle, i. H. the actual values are continuously entered by the scanning device, the difference between the setpoint and the continuously changing actual value of the tube bundle 6 and shows this in the display window 61. As I said, with the difference "0" the gun is aimed. If the gun is tilted, i.e. H.
  • the telescopic sight 8 and thus also the housing 13 of the computer 14 are rotated about its axis in a manner known per se when the tube bundle 6 is being raised, as a result of which a non-zero value appears in the display window 59. Since the shaft 42 is parallel to the inclined axis of elevation, the plane in which the stub axles 45 move during the elevation is inclined to the vertical axis of the directional periscope 8. The fork 46 connected to the stub axles 45 generate via the joint piece 47 and the carrier 49 a rotational movement of the directional periscope 8 about its axis. The gun must then be pivoted again about the lateral direction axis Z until the displayed deviation of the azimuth disappears.
  • the outlook 12 of the aiming periscope 8 is pivoted through 180 °.
  • the directional circle 62 is accordingly sighted with the directional periscope 8 in the direction opposite to the firing direction of the tubes 6.
  • Orientation azimuth A is read at directional circle 62 and transmitted to the tower crew.
  • the straightening with the aid of the computer 14 is otherwise carried out in exactly the same way as in the straightening described above with the aid of an auxiliary target point OA.
