Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for supplying projectile ammunition in an armored vehicle, which has a rotatable turret with a shield cheek rising thereon as a bearing for a weapon carrier, which carries its cartridge magazine designed as a container sideways, a horizontally extending container inside the vehicle. Transfer path is provided, within which a container reloading station is located, which is arranged under an opening of the armored roof so that it is in alignment with the container connection on the weapon carrier when the turret is in a rotating position and at an index position at an elevation angle, the distance between them being conveyed by means of transport is bridged.
  • a device of this type is known from EP-A-0042166 (DE-A-3022410), in which the empty container can be brought down through the opening into the container reloading station after being unlocked with the aid of the transport means, and the container can then be placed on the container Transfer rail can be moved out of the container reloading station by means of a filled replacement container that advances and takes up the space of the empty container.
  • the containers used are those that can be refilled and therefore reused, in battle it can prove to be too lengthy and cumbersome to bring the empty containers back into the container reloading station and thus into the transfer lane. Furthermore, changing the ammunition, for example from powerful AP ammunition to highly explosive HE ammunition, would also be too cumbersome, since this would always require a container change.
  • the object on which the invention is based is therefore seen in creating a device of the type mentioned at the outset which enables a particularly rapid container change, which makes double the number of cartridges available on the weapon carrier and thus on the breech of the weapon, and which finally switches between two to be fired Cartridge types allowed without having to change containers.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that two container reloading stations are located below openings in the tank ceiling within the container transfer path, which are aligned with two container connections located on both sides of the weapon carrier, that the shield cheek is designed twice and holds the weapon carrier between them. that two containers on both sides of the weapon carrier can be releasably locked and disposed of in the area of the horizontal elevation axis, and that the two shield cheek halves have closable openings on their undersides for the introduction and, if necessary, return of the containers and closable openings on the outside for the ejection of the have emptied containers.
  • This configuration enables the container to remain in the area of the weapon carrier protected by the double shield cheek even at different elevation positions of the weapon.
  • the closable openings expediently have outward-opening flaps which, in the open position, do not take up any space within the shield cheek.
  • ammunition from one or the other container can be fired by a simple switching process on the cartridge feeder, without a magazine change being necessary, which is particularly advantageous if the ammunition type has to be changed is.
  • the two containers can also contain ammunition of the same type. In any case, according to the invention, double the number of shots is available on the weapon itself.
  • the containers can be ejected according to the invention, which makes it unnecessary to return them to the reloading station without the latter no longer being possible.
  • Dispensing with the return of the empty shot containers to the reloading station enables a particularly quick container change, since in this case the empty shot containers are simply ejected sideways after being unlocked by the weapon, for example by spring pressure, and make room for those to be brought in from the reloading station by the means of transport , filled container. It goes without saying that such one-way traffic from the reloading station to the weapon carrier enables filled containers to be brought up more quickly.
  • the two openings provided above the sliding track in the armored ceiling must be arranged at a distance from one another which corresponds to the distance between the means of transport leading to the weapon carrier or to the shield cheek.
  • the tower thus only needs to be brought into the rotational position in which the container connections arranged on the weapon carrier are aligned with the openings, which is the case with simultaneous zero elevation so that filled containers can be reloaded from the transfer track.
  • the device according to the invention for supplying projectile ammunition is located on an armored vehicle 1 with an armored turret 3 rotatable about a vertical axis 2 with a shield cheek 4 rising thereon.
  • an armored turret 3 rotatable about a vertical axis 2 with a shield cheek 4 rising thereon.
  • Armor 6 and a chain 7 shown.
  • the shield cheek 4 serves as a bearing for a weapon carrier 8, which holds a weapon 9 that is only visible with its barrel 10.
  • the weapon carrier 8 carries its cartridge magazine designed as a container 11 sideways.
  • a horizontally extending container transfer track 12 is provided, within which there is a container reloading station 13, which is arranged under an opening 14 of the armored roof 5 such that it is at an index position and at an elevation angle when the armored tower 3 is in a rotational position the weapon 9 is in an index position with the container connection 15 located on the weapon carrier.
  • the distance between the container reloading station 13 and the container connection 15 is bridged by means of transport 16, for example by an elevator.
  • the shield cheek 4 is double, thus has two shield cheek halves 4 'and 4 "which hold the weapon carrier 8 between them.
  • the two containers 11, 11' can be locked on the weapon carrier 8 in the region of the horizontal elevation axis 17
  • Both shield cheek halves 4 ', 4 "each have closable openings 18, 18' on their undersides for introducing and possibly returning the containers 11, 11 'and, in each case, closable openings 19, 19' on their outer sides for ejecting the emptied containers 11, 11 'on.
  • the emptied, ejected containers 11, 11 ' are indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3 with dashed lines.
  • the closable openings 19, 19 ' have flaps 20, 20' opening outwards.
  • the horizontally extending container displacement track 12 is arranged in the area above a chain house 21 and essentially parallel to the same. It goes without saying that two openings 14, 14 'are provided in the tank ceiling 5 above the sliding track 12. These openings 14, 14 'are in alignment with the container connections 15, 15' in the respective index positions, provided that the armored turret 3 and the elevation angle or elevation of the weapon 9 are in the respective index positions.
  • the index position relating to the angle of rotation of the armored turret 3 is a position transverse to the longitudinal axis of the armored vehicle 1 or to the direction of travel thereof according to arrow F (FIGS.
  • a container sliding track 12 with two openings 14, 14 'provided above it in the armored roof 5 can be arranged above each of the two chain houses, in such a way that twice the amount of ammunition can be carried.
  • the index position of the rotational position of the armored turret 3 can be selected such that it can be arranged transversely to the armored vehicle 1 either on one side or on the other side. There are thus two index positions pivoted by 180 ° relative to one another, in which the container connections 15, 15 'are aligned with the reloading stations 13, 13' of the container transfer path either over one or the other chain house 21.
  • the respective container reloading stations 13, 13 ' can each be provided for different types of ammunition, such that, for example, only AP ammunition (anti-person ammunition) is reloaded from the container reloading station 13, but only HE from the container reloading station 13' - Ammunition (high explosive ammunition).
  • AP ammunition anti-person ammunition
  • HE high explosive ammunition
  • the flaps 20, 20 'opening outwards on the two shield cheek halves 4', 4 are preferably circular in shape and large enough in diameter that the containers 11, 11 'can be ejected in any possible elevation position of the barrel 10 of the weapon 9 .
