Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rapid-fire mortars, that is to say curved parts of medium caliber and high firepower and, more particularly, rear-loading mortars.
  • a mortar of this type is known, but with manual unit loading without a magazine, which makes this loading painful and slows down the rate, especially in vertical shooting.
  • this mortar on a protected carrier vehicle the interior of the latter and the explosion chamber are placed in communication when the cylinder head is opened, which involves the disadvantages of inhaling toxic gases.
  • drawbacks which we try to remedy by a strong suction of these gases or by the creation of an overpressure inside the vehicle.
  • the size of the breech box is large and constitutes a drawback in vertical shooting.
  • French Patent No. 2163932 describes another mortar of this type, equipped with one or more unitary loading pots, integral with the movable part of a wedge breech, placing itself, in the firing position, in the rear extension of the tube and being filled by gravity.
  • These loading pots are therefore movable relative to the mounting of the barrel and, therefore, do not make it possible to remedy the difficulties of evacuation of the combustion gases if the mortar is loaded from an enclosed space, for example the interior of a light carrier vehicle.
  • GB N ⁇ 2004037 discloses a rapid-fire mortar with an ammunition barrel, the chambers of which, when they are in turn in the firing position, are sealed at their ends. But the tube of this mortar is not movable relative to the lookout, and is therefore not adaptable on a light carrier vehicle. This patent therefore does not solve the aforementioned difficulties in evacuating gases from the enclosed space formed by the interior of the vehicle where the servants are located.
  • the subject of the invention is a mortar of the type comprising, on the one hand, a tube movable during firing with respect to a support and, on the other hand, an ammunition barrel , integral in translation with the tube, and having at least two chambers which can be placed one at a shooting station and the other at a feeding station, this mortar being characterized in that the chambers comprise means for ensuring their fixity with respect to the support when they are placed at at least one station other than the shooting station.
  • the means for ensuring the fixity of the chamber comprise a fur, preferably cylindrical, sliding in a barrel between a rest position and a recoil position during firing.
  • a gas evacuation station is located between the firing station and the supply station, in the direction of rotation of the barrel.
  • one of the abutments of the evacuation station may advantageously include means for evacuating gases to the outside.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain a rapid-fire mortar having excellent loading ergonomics, due to the fixity of the chamber placed at the corresponding station, and capable of being used from an enclosed space without the clearances of abundant toxic gases at high rate inconvenience the loading staff.
  • the space requirement at the rear of the weapon is reduced to a minimum, which is particularly favorable in the case of installation on a protected vehicle.
  • the mortar according to fig. 1 comprises a frame, or support, suspended by trunnions 2, or a ball joint, from the roof 3 of a casemate or a turret, thus delimiting an enclosed space occupied by the servants of the weapon.
  • the mortar comprises a tube 4 integral with the cylinder head 5 which supports the percussion mechanism (not shown), and which comprises an axis 6, parallel to the axis of the tube 4, on which a barrel 7 can rotate.
  • Letube4 is movable in translation relative to the support 1 via an elastic link 12 comprising recuperating springs 4a.
  • the barrel 7 has three identical chambers 8, 9 and 10 (fig. 5) equidistant from the axis 6 and which, in the embodiment shown tee, are placed 120 ° from each other with respect to it.
  • a rotary drive mechanism (not shown) rotates it 120 ° in the direction of arrow H when the tube 4 returns to the battery after a shot.
  • the chamber 8 is placed at a shooting station X where it is in line with the tube 4, the chamber 9 at a gas evacuation station Y and the chamber 10 at a loading Z.
  • Each of the chambers 8, 9 and 10 comprises a fur 11 a, 11 b or 11 sliding in the barrel 7 parallel to the axis 6.
  • the interior diameters of the furs 11 a, 11 b and 11 c are equal to that of the tube 4 .
  • the frame 1 At its rear part, the frame 1 comprises a casing 13 for protecting the part of the barrel 7 which is located outside the cylinder head 5.
  • the casing 13 has at its front, or upper part, a bearing face 13a constituting a front stop for the furs 11 a, 11 b and 11 c when they are outside the cylinder head 5. Solid with the frame 1, the stop 13a is therefore fixed relative to it.
  • the bearing face 13a is pierced with an orifice 13b for admission of ventilation air, while to the right of the Zelle loading station is pierced with an opening of load 18 allowing the passage of a munition, and aligned with that of the furs 11a, 11b or 11 c which is at station Z.
  • the casing 13 also includes a rear stop 14 for the loading station Z, on which the fur 11 a, 11 b or 11 c which is in Z carries, as well as a tubular rear stop 15 for the discharge station Y .
  • the stop 15 is applied in a sealed manner to the fur 11 a, 11 b or 11 c which is in Y, and it is pierced with a discharge orifice 19 connected to means for sucking the gases towards the exterior (not shown).
  • the assembly is then in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the chamber placed at the shooting station X that is to say here the chamber 8, contains ammunition ready for shooting (fig. 1 and 2), while the chamber 9, placed at the shooting station evacuation Y, purges the burnt gases from the previous stroke thanks to the entry of fresh air through the orifice 13b and the gas outlet through the orifice 19 of the tubular stop 15.
  • the chamber 10, which is located at loading station Z, is ready to receive new ammunition.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show the beginning of the installation of a new munition 17 in the chamber 10 at the loading station Z as well as the continuation of the evacuation of the burnt gases from the chamber 9 at the station Y:
  • the evacuation of the gases remaining in the chamber after firing is also carried out in masked time and the toxic emissions of the weapon are eliminated without reduction of the rate.
  • the procedure to follow is to introduce an ammunition at the loading station Z then to turn the barrel 7 by 120 ° to bring the corresponding chamber to the shooting station. We are then brought back to the situation of figs. 1 and 2 and the previously exposed shooting sequence can begin.
  • the mortar can in particular be journalled in a manner different from that which has been indicated, the axis of rotation possibly being closer and even possibly beyond the cylinder head 5, and not be placed in a casemate.
  • the barrel can also include more than three stations, the additional stations being able to be used for various functions, such as the adjustment of the loads or the adjustment of the rockets.
  • the gas evacuation station can be designed so as to move back with the barrel, which makes it possible to eliminate the corresponding rear stop at the cost of a certain complication of the gas extraction means.
  • the means for immobilizing the chambers during retraction can be different from the stops described and include for example rods or retractable fingers, and the means for driving the barrel in rotation can be controlled - possibly manually - separately instead of be automatically.
