Definitions

  • the invention relates to a breech mechanism for a barrel weapon according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • this locking wedge does not permit the use of elastically deformable ring lids with high plastic components, as are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 1,460,683, instead of the steel eyelet ring, because the locking wedge and one for the simultaneous radial and axial directions of movement of the locking wedge Preloading of the elastically deformable ring cover necessary larger sealing stroke is possible a wedge movement promoting the seal wear.
  • known sealing ring can furthermore not achieve a sealing effect with a long service life in such an application, because the elastically deformable sealing ring can yield to the cargo space due to a lack of support on the inside.
  • Sealing an elastically deformable eyelet ring located at the end of the weapon barrel arranging a wedge-shaped insert on an inclined surface of a locking block guided parallel in the base piece and movable transversely to the barrel core axis, and the movement of the locking block in a simple manner first for the closing stroke and then for a sealing stroke pointing exclusively in the barrel core axis direction to make use of the wedge-shaped insert. Because the sealing stroke takes place exclusively in the direction of the tube core axis, a uniform and defined prestressing of the seal can be achieved.
  • the comparatively large mass of the locking block can be driven in a manner known per se without any significant change to the drive system, the mass of the wedge-shaped insert to be controlled remaining low and not requiring its own drive means. Because of this and because the deflection of the movement can also follow the wedge-shaped insert er ⁇ without interrupting the breech block movement 'and yet a stable and secure Ab ⁇ ensures support is enabling operation at high rates.
  • the locking mechanism according to the invention guarantees, through the exclusively axial movement of the wedge-shaped insert, a defined pre-tensioning of a highly elastic seal and thereby a secure and permanent sealing of the cargo space, whereby the use of ammunition with a fully combustible sleeve or the use of liquid propellants in artillery weapons or Armored cannons is made possible.
  • the invention also enables favorable manufacturing conditions, such as those created by the simplified manufacture of a parallel guide compared to a complex wedge-shaped bottom piece guide.
  • the simple design also offers a good adaptation of an automatic loader.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a weapon barrel with a first embodiment of a locking mechanism in a longitudinal section, FIGS. 1 to 3 showing different movement positions of the locking mechanism show
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail marked IV in FIG. 2,
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 each show schematic representations of two movement positions of a second exemplary embodiment
  • Figures 7 and 8 each show schematic representations of two movement positions of a third embodiment.
  • the base piece 5 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of a weapon tube 3 belonging to an artillery weapon or anti-aircraft gun has a parallel guide 4 arranged at right angles to the tube core axis 2 for receiving a locking block 9 belonging to a locking mechanism 1, which in a manner known per se by a device 11 can be moved automatically but also manually in the direction of displacement 6 within the parallel guide 4.
  • the device 11 is known for example from EP 00 14 559, so that a more detailed description is unnecessary.
  • the locking block 9 has a sliding surface 10 which extends obliquely from the bottom left to the top right at an angle c relative to the parallel guide 4.
  • This sliding surface 10 is designed as a guide 23, for example in a manner not shown, in a T-groove shape for receiving a wedge-shaped insert 12 which has been worked into the locking block 9 from the side facing the cargo space 21.
  • the wedge-shaped insert 12 is connected for support in the displacement plane of the guide 23 to a means 14 mounted at the lower end of the sliding surface 10, the bearing point of the means 14 being arranged on the locking block 9 in a space-saving manner below the insert 12.
  • the stroke limiting means 15.1 is designed as a control cam, preferably over the wedge-shaped insert 12 as a stop 18 ' , which has a width which is greater than the sealing stroke X. of the insert 12.
  • the guide surface of the locking block 9, which rests in the parallel guide 4 is set back in relation to the eyelet 8 in the direction 6 in the area 6 of this stop 18 by a minimum distance X larger than the seal stroke X. . This prevents damage to the eyelid caused by the transverse movement of the closure block 9
  • the end face 17 facing away from the inclined sliding surface 16 of the wedge-shaped insert 12, which is designed as a sealing surface arranged perpendicular to the tube core axis 2, is at a distance corresponding to the sealing stroke X. until the stop on the stop 18 opposite the tube end face 7.
  • This intermediate position 13 assumed by the wedge-shaped insert 12 before the sealing stroke X 1 is carried out is shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • the breech block 9 and the wedge-shaped insert 12 have, starting from the open position of the breech mechanism 1 shown in FIG. 1, together with a movement upward and transverse to the weapon barrel 3 until the ingestion in FIGS 2 and 4 shown intermediate position 13 made the stroke Y 1 .
  • the wedge-shaped insert 12 is prevented by the stop 18 from continuing the common transverse movement in the case of the closing block 9, which continues to move upward and continuously moves upward by the stroke Y shown in FIG. 3, and leads at the same time in a form-fitting manner through the inclined sliding surface 10, 16 during the stroke Y "of the locking block 9, the sealing stroke X. on the tube core axis 2 through.
  • the means 14 is therefore designed as a spring element, preferably as a gas pressure spring.
  • a gas pressure spring can be telescopically compressed in a space-saving manner and on the one hand guarantees a synchronized movement of the insert
  • the wedge-shaped insert 12 can only assume its starting position when it has moved away from the end face 7 by the amount of the sealing stroke X., because until the intermediate position is reached
  • the highly elastic sealing ring shown as eyelet 8 in FIG. 4 contains two overlapping rings 22 made of wear-resistant, preferably loading-gray, on the inside hardened material.
  • the highly elastic seal which is also referred to in the defense technology as "plastic lids"
  • the rings 22 and yet another the last free corner of the seal, protective ring are slotted, the shape of the seal can be changed elastically, in particular compressed, during the sealing stroke X 1 during the sealing stroke X 1 . Due to the overlap, the steel rings 22 can slide against each other during the sealing process.
  • the sealing effect achieved under the axial preload is increased by the pressure of the propellant gases acting on the inside of the rings 22 when the shot is fired.
  • the angle of inclination cL> of the inclined sliding surface 10, 10.1, 16 can be made larger or smaller in the area of the self-locking.
  • the inclination can be, for example, with a seal preload X ? of 5 mm have an angle of 4 °.
  • the stroke limiting means 15.3 of the wedge-shaped insert 12 consists of at least one control curve 19 arranged on the base piece 5 and one cam 20 arranged on the insert 12, the control curve 19 being designed such that the wedge-shaped Insert 12 performs an exclusively radial stroke for taking the intermediate position 13 and can only be moved on the tube core axis 2 for carrying out the sealing stroke.
  • the control curve 19 initially runs parallel to the guide 4 and, after taking the intermediate position 13 at the level of the barrel core axis 2, is angled toward the barrel 3.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the starting position
  • Figure 6 shows the closed position of the locking mechanism 1.
  • Der The insert 12 and the locking block 9 initially move together by the stroke Y in the direction 24 upwards, while after reaching the intermediate position 13 the locking block 9 moves continuously upward by the stroke Y.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate in a further exemplary embodiment a closure block 9.1 with a sliding surface 10.1 running from bottom right to top left and a wedge-shaped insert 12.1 designed accordingly.
  • This arrangement differs from the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 in that the sealing stroke X. (FIG. 4) of the insert 12.1 after the intermediate position 13.1 has been reached by a downward movement of the locking block 9.1 by the stroke Y p in the direction 25
  • the downward movement of the locking block 9.1 can be carried out continuously in a manner not shown by a sliding block guided in a curve.
