Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Munitionskanal zum Zuführen der Munition zu einer um eine Elevationsachse (E) schwenkbare Waffe (4), mit zwei Endteilen, von denen der eine mit der Waffe (4) schwenkbar ist, mit einer Mehrzahl von zwischen den beiden Endteilen schwenkbar angeordneten Lamellen (L1-Ln), durch welche zug-und torsionsfedernde Elemente geführt sind.The invention relates to an ammunition channel for feeding the ammunition to a weapon (4) which can be pivoted about an elevation axis (E), with two end parts, one of which can be pivoted with the weapon (4), with a plurality of pivotably arranged between the two end parts Slats (L 1 -L n ) through which tension and torsion spring elements are guided.

Bei einem bekannten Munitionskanal dieser Art (GB-A-583410) weisen die nebeneinander angeordneten Lamellen ineinandergreifende Vorsprünge bzw. Vertiefungen auf, über welche die Lamellen bajonettverschlussartig aufeinandergelagert sind. Zudem sind die Lamellen über zwei durchgehende flexible, federnd angeordnete bzw. als Feder ausgebildete Elemente miteinander verbunden.In a known ammunition channel of this type (GB-A-583410), the lamellae arranged side by side have interlocking projections or depressions, by means of which the lamellae are superimposed in a bayonet-like manner. In addition, the lamellae are connected to one another by two continuous, flexible, spring-mounted or spring-shaped elements.

Nachteil dieser bekannten Anordnung ist der komplizierte Aufbau der einzelnen Lamellen.The disadvantage of this known arrangement is the complicated structure of the individual slats.

Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichent ist, löst die Aufgabe, einfache, leicht herzustellende Lamellen zu schaffen.The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating simple, easy-to-produce slats.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Lamellen (L1-Ln) auf einer an den beiden Endteilen schwenkbar befestigten, zur Elevationsachse koaxialen Welle (5), schwenkbar gelagert sind und dass die Elemente (13) im gleichen radialen Abstand von der Welle (5) angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in that the lamellae (L 1 -L n ) are pivotally mounted on a shaft (5) which is pivotally attached to the two end parts and coaxial with the elevation axis, and in that the elements (13) are at the same radial distance from the shaft (5) are arranged.

In der Zeichnung sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt und im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Munitionskanals in Seitenansicht in einer der maximalen Elevation entsprechenden Stellung;
  • Fig. 2 den Munitionskanal nach Fig. 1 in Ansicht und teilweise im Schnitt;
  • Fig. 3 eine Lamelle des Munitionskanals im Detail;

  • Fig. 5 ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel des Munitionskanals, vereinfacht dargesellt, und
  • Fig. 6 zwei Beispiele für Elemente zur Verbindung einzelner Lamellen des Munitionskanals.
In the drawing, two embodiments of the invention are shown and described in more detail below. Show it:
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of an ammunition channel in side view in a position corresponding to the maximum elevation.
  • FIG. 2 shows the ammunition channel according to FIG. 1 in view and partly in section;
  • 3 shows a lamella of the ammunition channel in detail;
  • Fig. 4 is a partial section along line IV-IV in Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the ammunition channel, simplified, and
  • Fig. 6 shows two examples of elements for connecting individual slats of the ammunition channel.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Munitionskanal 1 dargestellt, dessen Endteile durch eine Wand 2 einerseits und durch eine drehbar gelagerte Scheibe 3 anderseits gebildet sind. Die Wand 2 ist in nicht näher dargestellter Weise beispielsweise mit einem Patronenmagazin oder mit einem weiteren, zum Magazin führenden Kanalabschnitt verbunden. Die Scheibe 3 ist mit einer Waffe 4 verbunden und mit dieser um eine Elevationsachse E schwenkbar.1 and 2, an ammunition channel 1 is shown, the end parts of which are formed by a wall 2 on the one hand and by a rotatably mounted disc 3 on the other. The wall 2 is connected in a manner not shown, for example with a cartridge magazine or with another channel section leading to the magazine. The disc 3 is connected to a weapon 4 and can be pivoted with it about an elevation axis E.

Koaxial zur Elevationsachse E der Waffe ist eine Welle 5 in der Wand 2 befestigt und in der Scheibe 3 gelagert. Der Munitionskanal 1 ist durch eine Mehrzahl von Lamellen L, bis L" gebildet, die mit ihren Öffnungen 6 auf der Welle 5 schwenkbar gelagert sind. Die Lamellen L1 bis Ln, deren Form am besten aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, sind jeweils mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung 7 für die Munition versehen. Auf einem gemeinsamen Radius R um die Achse der Öffnung 6 sind drei Paar Öffnungen 10 in den Lamellen L angefertigt, von denen je ein Paar auf jeder Seite der Öffnung 6 im unteren Bereich 11 der Lamelle angeordnet sind, während sich das dritte Paar im oberen Bereich 12 der Lamelle L befindet.A shaft 5 is fastened in the wall 2 and mounted in the disc 3 coaxially to the elevation axis E of the weapon. The ammunition channel 1 is formed by a plurality of lamellae L, to L " , which are pivotably mounted with their openings 6 on the shaft 5. The lamellae L 1 to L n , the shape of which can best be seen from FIG. 3, are each provided with a passage opening for the ammunition 3. On a common radius R around the axis of the opening 6, three pairs of openings 10 are made in the slats L, of which a pair are arranged on each side of the opening 6 in the lower region 11 of the slat while the third pair is in the upper region 12 of the lamella L.

Durch die einander entsprechenden Öffnungen 10 aller Lamellen L, bis L" werden elastische Elemente 13 geführt, die an den Endteilen, d.h. an der Wand 2 sowie an der schwenkbaren Scheibe 3 in nicht näher dargestellter Weise befestigt sind.Elastic elements 13, which are fastened to the end parts, ie to the wall 2 and to the pivotable disk 3, in a manner not shown, are guided through the corresponding openings 10 of all the slats L, to L " .

Die Durchtrittsöffnung 7 der Lamelle L ist gemäss Fig. 3 im mittleren Bereich erweitert und mit einer axialen Führungsfläche 8 für Patronengurte versehen. Die Führungsfläche 8 sorgt dafür, dass die Patronenspitze nie die Lamellen touchiert. Die Führungsfläche 8 (Fig. 4) ist durch ein Stück Material gebildet, das eine grössere Härte aufweist als die Patronengurte selber. Mit Vorteil wird ein Stück vom gehärteten Stahl in das Material der Lamellen, die beispielsweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, eingegossen.The passage opening 7 of the lamella L is widened in the central area according to FIG. 3 and is provided with an axial guide surface 8 for cartridge belts. The guide surface 8 ensures that the cartridge tip never touches the fins. The guide surface 8 (Fig. 4) is formed by a piece of material that has a greater hardness than the cartridge belts themselves. A piece of hardened steel is advantageously poured into the material of the fins, which are made of plastic, for example.

Die Wand 2 ist mit einer Eintrittsöffnung 14 (Fig. 1) versehen, deren Längsachse mit Vorteil unter einem ungefähr dem mittleren Elevationswinkel entsprechenden Ausgangswinkel zur horizontalen Ebene geneigt ist. Aus Fig. 2 ist die Stellung der ersten Lamelle LI ersichtlich, deren Durchtrittsöffnung 7 praktisch dauernd unter dem gleichen Ausgangswinkel geneigt ist wie die in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellte Eintrittsöffnung 14. Die Befestigungspunkte für die Elemente 13 an der Wand 2 entsprechen der Anordnung der Öffnungen 10 für eine unter gleichem Ausgangswinkel geneigte Lamelle L.The wall 2 is provided with an inlet opening 14 (FIG. 1), the longitudinal axis of which is advantageously inclined to the horizontal plane at an exit angle corresponding approximately to the mean elevation angle. From Fig. 2 the position of the first lamella L I can be seen, the passage opening 7 is practically continuously inclined at the same starting angle as the inlet opening 14, not shown in Fig. 2. The fastening points for the elements 13 on the wall 2 correspond to the arrangement of the Openings 10 for a slat L inclined at the same starting angle

Die Scheibe 3 ist mit einer Austrittsöffnung 15 versehen (Fig. 1), deren Form der Durchtrittsöffnung 7 der Lamellen L entspricht. Der Verteilung der Öffnungen 10 gegenüber der Durchtrittsöffnung 7 einer Lamelle L entsprechend sind auch die Befestigungspunkte für die Elemente 13 an der Scheibe 3 gegenüber der Austrittsöffnung 15 verteilt, alle im gleichen Abstand von der Elevationsachse angeordnet.The disc 3 is provided with an outlet opening 15 (FIG. 1), the shape of which corresponds to the through opening 7 of the slats L. Corresponding to the distribution of the openings 10 with respect to the passage opening 7 of a lamella L, the fastening points for the elements 13 on the pane 3 with respect to the outlet opening 15 are also distributed, all at the same distance from the elevation axis.

Die Scheibe 3 ist zusammen mit der um die Elevationsachse E verschwenkbaren Waffe 4 in beiden Drehrichtungen verschenkbar. Über die Elemente 13 wird die Verschwenkung der Scheibe 3 auf die Lamellen Ln, Ln-1 ... bis L1 übertragen, wobei die Durchtrittsöffnung 7 der letzten Lamelle L" jeweils praktisch unter dem gleichen Winkel geneigt wird wie die Austrittsöffnung 15 der Scheibe 3. Damit die der jeweiligen Elevation der Waffe 4 entsprechende Verschwenkung gleichmässig auf alle Lamellen Ln-1, Ln-2 usw. übertragen wird, sind die Elemente 13 vorzugsweise im ganzen Bereich elastisch bzw. zug- und torsionsfedernd ausgebildet; beispielsweise können Gummibänder oder -schläuche, vorgespannte Zug-und Torsionsfedern usw. als Elemente 13 verwendet werden (Fig. 6). Allerdings können auch bisher bekannte flexible Mittel erfindungsgemäss elastisch zwischen den Endteilen des Munitionskanals vorgespannt werden, wie es in Fig. 5 schematisch dargestellt ist. Mit 13a ist der flexible, mit 13b der elastische Befestigungsteil der Elemente 13 bezeichnet.The disc 3 can be given away in both directions of rotation together with the weapon 4 which can be pivoted about the elevation axis E. The pivoting of the disk 3 is transmitted to the lamellae L n , L n-1 ... To L 1 via the elements 13, the passage opening 7 of the last lamella L "being inclined practically at the same angle as the outlet opening 15 of FIG Disc 3. In order that the pivoting corresponding to the respective elevation of the weapon 4 is evenly transmitted to all the slats L n-1 , L n-2 etc., the elements 13 are preferably designed to be elastic or resilient in the entire area, for example can Gum ribbons or hoses, prestressed tension and torsion springs, etc. can be used as elements 13 (FIG. 6). However, according to the invention, previously known flexible means can also be elastically prestressed between the end parts of the ammunition channel, as is shown schematically in FIG. 5. 13a is the flexible, 13b the elastic fastening part of the elements 13.

In Fig. 2 ist eine der maximalen Elevation entsprechende extreme Verschwenkung der letzten Lamelle Ln um einen Winkel a gegenüber der ersten Lamelle L, dargestellt; eine der minimalen Elevation entsprechende extreme Verschwenkung derselben um einen Winkel ß in der anderen Drehrichtung ist strichpunktiert angedeutet.FIG. 2 shows an extreme pivoting of the last lamella L n by an angle a with respect to the first lamella L, corresponding to the maximum elevation; an extreme pivoting of the same corresponding to the minimum elevation by an angle β in the other direction of rotation is indicated by dash-dotted lines.

Bei Verschwenkung der Scheibe 3 werden die durch die Öffnungen 10 einzelner Lamellen L geführten elastischen Elemente 13 in der Länge gespannt und auf einem virtuellen Zylindermantel mit Radius R schraubenförmig gewunden (vgl. Fig. 1). Dabei wird die Verschwenkung gleichmässig auf alle Lamellen LI bis Ln übertragen.When the disc 3 is pivoted, the elastic elements 13 guided through the openings 10 of individual slats L are stretched in length and wound helically on a virtual cylinder jacket with radius R (cf. FIG. 1). The swiveling is transferred evenly to all slats L I to L n .

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden 30 Lamellen L verwendet. Beim Elevationsbereich von -5° bis +85° wurde ein Ausgangswinkel von 30° gewählt.In the illustrated embodiment, 30 slats L are used. An output angle of 30 ° was selected for the elevation range from -5 ° to + 85 °.

Die erfindungsgemässe Wahl des Ausgangswinkels bringt wesentliche Vorteile. So wird eine Patronenzuführung auf engstem Raum, d.h. bei der minimal notwendigen Kanallänge realisiert. Der notwendige Abstand beider Endteile des Munitionskanals (Wand 2, Scheibe 3) hängt nämlich von der Verwindbarkeit der Patronengurte ab. Es ist beispielsweise durchaus möglich, den Ausgangswinkel einem extremen Elevationswinkel (z.B. -5°) anzupassen und die Lamellen L, bis Ln nur in einer Drehrichtung zu verschwenken. Der dabei notwendige von der Verwindbarkeit des Gurtes abhängige Abstand beider Endteile konnte durch die erfindungsgemässe Wahl des Ausgangswinkels halbiert werden, da die Verwindbarkeit der Patronengurte in beiden Drehrichtungen optimal ausgenützt wird. Da die Verwindbarkeit in beiden Drehrichtungen jeweils etwas unterschiedlich ist, weicht auch der Ausgangswinkel etwas vom mittleren Elevationswinkel ab (30° anstatt 40°).The choice of the starting angle according to the invention brings significant advantages. In this way, a cartridge feed is implemented in the smallest of spaces, ie with the minimum necessary channel length. The necessary distance between the two end parts of the ammunition channel (wall 2, disc 3) depends on the torsion of the cartridge belts. For example, it is entirely possible to adapt the starting angle to an extreme elevation angle (for example -5 °) and to pivot the slats L, to L n only in one direction of rotation. The necessary distance between the two end parts, which depends on the torsion of the belt, could be halved by the choice of the starting angle according to the invention, since the torsion of the cartridge belts is optimally utilized in both directions of rotation. Since the twistability is slightly different in both directions of rotation, the starting angle also deviates somewhat from the mean elevation angle (30 ° instead of 40 °).

Beim in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind drei Paar Elemente 13 vorgesehen. Es können allerdings nur drei einzelne oder gar eine andere Anzahl Elemente 13 gewählt werden, je nach Elastizität der verwendeten Elemente 13, wobei auf gleichmässige Kräfteübertragung bzw. auf günstige Beanspruchung der Lamellen zu achten ist. Dadurch, dass alle Elemente 13 im gleichen radialen Abstand von der Welle 5 angeordnet sind, wird für eine gleichmässige Beanspruchung der einzelnen Elemente 13 gesorgt.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, three pairs of elements 13 are provided. However, only three individual or even a different number of elements 13 can be selected, depending on the elasticity of the elements 13 used, care being taken to ensure uniform force transmission or favorable loading of the slats. The fact that all the elements 13 are arranged at the same radial distance from the shaft 5 ensures that the individual elements 13 are stressed evenly.
