Definitions

  • the invention relates to a loading device for a barrel weapon according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a loading device of this type is known from DE-OS 30 46 642.
  • a charging cradle is used in each case, which is brought into alignment with the barrel weapon to accommodate a cartridge adjacent to an associated magazine half and after receiving the cartridge by means of a swivel arm.
  • the charging cradle has a roller that is guided in a tower-proof, straight rail. The roller is attached to the outer end of the charging cradle, while the swivel arm is articulated at the inner end (related to the transfer position to the magazine). There is no adequate protection against the cartridges on standby in relation to the team room.
  • This swiveling device does not allow the cartridges to be inserted into the closure over a part of their length during the swiveling process.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a loading device for a barrel weapon according to the preamble of claim 1, which makes it possible to isolate the team room from the magazines during the loading process, and to reduce the distance between the loader magazines and the breech of the weapon.
  • the magazines are sealed off from the crew compartment by a bulkhead, the charging cradle being arranged on the side of the bulkhead facing away from the barrel weapon when the bulkhead door is closed - as is the piecing device, the associated guides and at least partially the drives.
  • the bulkhead door opens automatically during the loading process and closes again after the piecing and charging cradle have been moved back until the next loading process.
  • the design of the loading device is space-saving, simple and robust.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a flat tower for an armored weapon with a loading device in plan view.
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the flat tower of FIG. 1.
  • FIG 3 shows a further embodiment of a loading device in plan view.
  • Fig. 4 shows the loading device of Fig. 3 front view.
  • FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V of FIG. 3.
  • the loading device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided in a flat tower 1 of a main battle tank, which receives a barrel weapon 2 in the front area and two band magazines 3, 4 on the rear side.
  • the tape magazines 3, 4 have magazine tapes 5 with ammunition holding elements which receive cartridges 6 such that the projectile tips 7 of the ammunition of both tape magazines 3, 4 face each other and release the cartridges 6 at the deflection points of the magazine tapes 5 to the outside.
  • the ammunition can be removed at the inner deflection point - after opening a flap which otherwise serves as a guide - while it is guided through a fixed shell at the outer deflection point.
  • the magazine tapes 5 are coupled to drives 8.
  • the two band magazines 3, 4 are arranged at a distance from one another and somewhat diverging in the direction of the barrel weapon 2 in order to accommodate a piecing device 9 between them which can be displaced in the direction of the barrel weapon 2 via a drive 10. If necessary, the piecing 9 can be designed as a telescopic piecing.
  • the band magazines 3, 4 each have bulkheads 11 on both sides as well as a common bulkhead wall 12 with two adjacent bulkhead doors 13, so that the band magazines 3, 4 are partitioned off from the team room.
  • an additional partition 14 is provided, through which the piecing 9 is guided.
  • each band magazine 3, 4 there is a loading shell 15 which, after releasing the ammunition to be loaded, from the corresponding magazine band 5, after it has brought the selected type of ammunition into the transfer position in the deflection area of the lower and upper run of the magazine band 5 adjacent to the barrel weapon 2 the ammunition takes over.
  • the charging cradle 15 is parallel to the longitudinal axes of the cartridges 6.
  • the charging cradle 15 is preferably a half-cradle with a resiliently pretensioned and articulated clip 16 for gripping a large part of the circumference of the cartridge 6. Furthermore, a bottom part 17, which enables the passage of the piecer 9, for supporting the cartridge 6 to be loaded, is provided on the charging cradle 15.
  • the bulkhead doors 13 are pivotally connected to the bulkhead 12 in the direction of the barrel weapon 2 and, on the side facing the band magazines 3, 4, carry a guide rail 18 which serves as a straight guide and which receives a roller 19 which extends from the charging cradle 15 laterally and in the central region thereof will be carried.
  • a chain drive 20 is provided for each charging cradle 15, the chain 21 of which is connected to the rear end of the charging cradle 15 via a pivot pin 22 (laterally from the longitudinal axis of the charging cradle 15 to the bulkhead door 13).
  • the chains 21 are guided around sprockets 23, the outer ones of which can be driven by a drive (not shown), while the inner ones are arranged adjacent to one another symmetrically to the central plane between the belt magazines 3, 4.
  • the chain center directed towards the barrel weapon 2 is guided along an approximately circular segment-shaped guide piece 24.
  • the charging cradle 15 When the charging cradle 15 has taken over the desired ammunition in the transfer position, the charging cradle 15 is guided with its end articulated on the chain 21 by the chain drive 20 along the guide piece 24, while the charging cradle 15 is in its central region over the roller 19 engages with the guide rail 18 of the bulkhead door 13, the bulkhead door 13 is opened and the charging cradle 15 is pivoted in the direction of the barrel weapon 2 until the charging shell 15 has its longitudinal axis in the longitudinal axis of the barrel weapon 2 (which for this purpose is in an index position must be located) is arranged. After this swiveling movement has been completed, the piecing device 9 moves forward and pushes the cartridge 6 into the cargo space 2a of the barrel weapon 2.
  • the magazine belts 5 can be manually operated from the crew compartment via a crank mechanism. After manually opening the corresponding bulkhead door 13, the ammunition can be pulled into the loading position with the loading shell 15, after which the cartridge 6 to be loaded can be pushed manually into the loading space 2a.
  • a tower-fixed guide rod 25 is provided as a straight guide will be carried.
  • the guide rod 25 guides a carriage 27 on its underside, the carriage 27 carrying a ball bushing 28 to reduce the friction between the carriage 27 and the guide rod 25, which surrounds the guide rod 25 over a partial circumference.
  • the carriage 27 is also guided at its upper edge by a rail 29 which is arranged fixed to the tower.
  • the carriage 27 is connected to the chain 21 via an angle piece 27a (cf. also FIG. 5).
  • the chain drive 20 has a drive motor 30 with a displacement sensor 31.
  • a stop ring 32 for the carriage 27 can additionally be provided on the guide rod 25.
  • a tower-fixed guide rail 33 which is curved towards the magazine side and which, if necessary, can be adjusted via a rod 33.1 with regard to the inner distance to the barrel weapon 2.
  • the carriage 27 carries an articulated fork 34 on the side facing the band magazine 3 or 4, which receives a joint pin 35, via which the charging cradle 15 is articulated on the carriage 27.
  • the charging cradle 15 also carries an arm 36 which carries the end of the roller 19 which is received by the guide rail 33.
  • the articulation of the charging cradle 15 on the slide 27 and the arm 36 are located in the region of the respective outer end of the charging cradle 15 on the side facing away from the respective band magazine 3 or 4.
  • the charging cradle 15 After taking over appropriate ammunition, the charging cradle 15 is pulled inward along the guide rod 25 by the chain drive 20 via the slide 27. At the same time, the engagement of the roller 19 with the guide rail 33 pivots in the direction of the barrel weapon 2 until the charging cradle is aligned with the barrel weapon 2. The further charging process takes place as in the previous embodiment.
  • the bulkhead 12 (not shown here, like the band magazines 3, 4 and the piecing 9) can be arranged directly in front of the loading device, the rail 29 being able to be fastened to the bulkhead 12.
  • bulkhead doors 13 can be provided in the bulkhead wall 12, but can preferably be opened and closed by means of a separate drive. Instead, however, a single bulkhead door 13 can also be provided, which can be moved for example by means of a rack and pinion drive for opening and closing in the downward and upward direction.
  • the charging cradle 15 can be provided with a handle 37 in order to pivot it manually.
