Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a weapon support cupola for an armored vehicle.
  • An armored vehicle is generally armed with a cupola consisting of an armored shell rotatably mounted around a vertical axis and on which is articulated, around a horizontal axis, an oscillating part supporting a weapon which can be a gun or else one or more vehicle launchers.
  • the vehicle is provided with means for orienting the cupola around its vertical axis for pointing in azimuth and the oscillating part around its horizontal axis for pointing in elevation.
  • the oscillating part can advantageously be provided with optical pointing means.
  • the subject of the invention is a new method of mounting the weapon support which makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the oscillating part comprises, on at least one side of the shell, a support piece forming a pivot, rotatably mounted on the shell around the horizontal axis and kinematically connected to the elevation orientation means, a weapon support comprising a box fixed to the end of an arm mounted articulated on the pivot about a horizontal axis placed above the axis of orientation in elevation and directed perpendicular thereto and a means tilting of the weapon support arm around its axis of articulation on the pivot between a low rest position for which the weapon is pressed against the shell and a high firing position for which the weapon is moved away from the shell and free to rotate with the pivot under the action of the means of orientation of the oscillating part.
  • the pivot comprises a cylindrical part rotatably mounted in bearings carried by the shell and centered on the axis of orientation in elevation, extending cantilevered towards the outside of the shell and on which are fixed two parallel uprights extending upward and bearing bearings for guiding in rotation a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of the elevation orientation axis and on which the support arm d is articulated 'armed.
  • the arm tilting means is constituted by a hydraulic cylinder extending between the two uprights of the pivot and whose body is articulated on the pivot and the rod on the weapon support arm, at a point away from the horizontal axis of rotation of the arm.
  • At least one of the support uprights of the axis of rotation is extended beyond the latter and carries at its end means for locking the arm in the high position.
  • This locking means comprises at least one latch comprising a bolt movable parallel to the tilting axis and urged on the side of the arm by an elastic means, an opening forming a strike formed on the arm at the same distance as the bolt from the axis. tilting so as to coincide with the bolt in the upper position of the arm, the orifice being preceded, in the direction of raising of the arm, by a ramp for spacing the bolt for the engagement of the latter in the orifice when the arm reaches the high position.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown diagrammatically, in front view, a cupola 1 mounted on the upper part of the body 11 of an armored vehicle provided with orientation means, not shown, of the cupola 1 around its vertical axis 10.
  • the oscillating part is mounted articulated on the cupola around a horizontal axis 12, the cupola being provided with mechanical means or hydraulic, not shown, orienting the oscillating part around axis 12 for pointing in elevation.
  • the pivot 2 is constituted by a cylindrical piece centered in a box 13 secured to the shell of the cupola 1, by means of bearings 14.
  • the cylindrical piece 2 extends in cantilever towards the outside and is secured of the oscillating part of the cupola, which we have limited to schematically representing, in the figure, the mask 15 for closing the barrel passage orifice and the axis of the trunnions 16 at the end of which is fixed the cylindrical part 2.
  • the cylindrical part 2 carries two parallel arms 21 made up of sheets fixed tangentially on the two sides of the cylindrical part 2 and extending upwards substantially following the profile of the shell 1.
  • the machines are placed inside a box 3 and this is fixed, according to the invention, to the end of a support arm 31 comprising two parts framing the two uprights 21 and articulated on these around two pivots 32 centered on a hinge axis 30 placed above the elevation orientation axis 12 and directed perpendicular thereto.
  • the arm 31 of the weapon support is further provided, in its central part, with a yoke 37 carrying an axis 33 parallel to the articulation axis 30 and on which the rod 41 of a cylinder 4 whose body 42 is articulated at its base on a support 22 placed at the lower part of the cylindrical part 2 inside and in the median plane thereof, the cylinder 4 passing through an elongated opening 23 formed at the upper part of room 2.
  • the jack 4 which is connected to hydraulic control means (not shown), controls the tilting of the support arm 3 around its articulation axis 30 between a low position shown in FIG. 4, for which the jack is folded and a high position shown in Figure 2 and 3 for which the cylinder is unfolded.
  • the two parallel uprights 21 are extended upwards above the hinge pin 30 and are connected at their upper end 24 by a tube 23 inside which is mounted the locking device 5.
  • the latter consists of two locks each comprising a bolt 51 formed at the end of a cylindrical piece 52 slidably mounted inside the tube 23.
  • the latter contains a spring 53 which pushes towards outside the two cylindrical parts 52, in opposite directions.
  • the weapon support arm 31 is itself provided with two ears 34 carrying orifices 35 which are centered at the same distance from the articulation axis 30 as the tube 23 and the two pistons 52.
  • the two ears 34 frame the upper ends 22 of the two parallel uprights and the orifices 35 are centered on the axis 50 of the two pistons 52.
  • the ears 34 advantageously carry a chamfered part 36 forming a ramp capable, when the arm 31 reaches the high position, of spreading the bolts 51 against the action of the spring 53, possibly cooperating with inclined faces formed on the bolts 51. The latter can thus engage in the orifices 35 which therefore form the keepers of the two latches.
  • an unlocking system such as that which has been shown in FIG. 5 and which comprises, for each lock, an elbow lever 54 articulated around a axis 55 perpendicular to the axis 50 of the bolt and one end of which engages in a groove 56 of the piston 52 while the other end is connected to a table control system 57.
  • an unlocking system such as that which has been shown in FIG. 5 and which comprises, for each lock, an elbow lever 54 articulated around a axis 55 perpendicular to the axis 50 of the bolt and one end of which engages in a groove 56 of the piston 52 while the other end is connected to a table control system 57.
  • the arm 31 and consequently the machine-launching box 3 can thus be locked in the high position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 with respect to the uprights 21 secured to the pivot 2.
  • the elevation orientation means shown diagrammatically in the figure by a kinematic control 17 control the elevation pointing of the box at the same time as that of the entire oscillating part you.
  • the box in the high position, the box is well released from the shell 1 of the cupola and can therefore be oriented freely.
  • the two launchers boxes are included in the size of the vehicle, the bulk of which is thus reduced, the arms being furthermore less vulnerable.
  • the box 3 in the high position, the box 3 can be easily opened to allow loading.
  • the device according to the invention can replace the weapon, for example a cannon placed 'inside the turret or it simply be associated, the fixing of the pivot on the trunnion axis can be done without modification of existing provisions.
  • the sighting optic integral with the oscillating mass can be common to the barrel and to the vehicles.
