Abstract

A combat tank having a rotatable turret, in which is arranged a heavy gun which is pivotable in elevation and the gun barrel (1) of which is mounted in a gun cradle (2) and is guided outwards through a gun surround (5). The beam path of an optical sighting instrument (6) fixed to the gun runs in a first branch (6.1) parallel to the gun (1) through the gun cradle (2). It is then deflected upwards between the gun cradle (2) and gun surround (5) by a first deflecting mirror (7.1) and guided to a point above the gun surround (5), where it is deflected forwards by a second deflecting mirror (7.2) and guided to the objective lens (6.3'). This avoids a perforation through the gun surround and therefore an interruption of the protective structure of the armouring. …<IMAGE>…

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kampfpanzer mit einem drehbaren Turm, in welchem eine in Elevation schwenkbare schwere Waffe angeordnet ist, deren Waffenrohr in einer Waffenwiege gelagert und durch eine Waffenblende hindurch nach außen geführt ist, wobei der Strahlengang eines waffenfesten optischen Zielgerätes parallel zur Rohrseelenachse der Waffe durch die Waffenwiege hindurchgeführt ist zu einem Ausblick an der Außenseite des Turms.The invention relates to a battle tank with a rotatable turret, in which a heavy weapon which can be pivoted in elevation is arranged, the weapon barrel of which is mounted in a weapon cradle and is guided outwards through a weapon aperture, the beam path of a weapon-fixed optical sighting device parallel to the barrel core axis of the weapon the weapon cradle is led through to a view on the outside of the tower.

Bei bekannten Kampfpanzern dieser Bauart ist, wie weiter unten anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert, der Strahlengang des optischen Zielgerätes geradlinig durch die Waffenwiege und die Waffenblende hindurch nach vorne geführt, so daß sich der Ausblick an der Vorderseite der Waffenblende befindet.In known battle tanks of this type, as explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings, the beam path of the optical aiming device is guided straight ahead through the weapon cradle and the weapon shield, so that the view is at the front of the weapon shield.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch diesen geradlinigen Durchbruch für den Strahlengang sich eine Unterbrechung des Schutzaufbaus der Panzerung ergibt, die eine Schwachstelle darstellt. Aufgrund der Durchdringungsleistung moderner Geschosse sind derartige Schwachstellen um ein Mehrfaches größer als die eigentlich notwendige Öffnung für den optischen Strahlengang.It has been shown that this straight-line breakthrough for the beam path results in an interruption of the protective structure of the armor, which represents a weak point. Due to the penetration performance of modern bullets, such weak points are several times larger than the opening that is actually necessary for the optical beam path.

Außerdem muß durch das nebeneinander Anordnen von Waffenrohr und Durchbruch für den Strahlengang des Zielgerätes die Waffenblende relativ breit ausgeführt werden, was ihr Gewicht und damit die zu beherrschende Unbalance bei der Elevationsbewegung der Waffe vergrößert.In addition, by arranging the weapon barrel and breakthrough next to one another for the beam path of the aiming device, the weapon aperture must be made relatively wide, which increases its weight and thus the imbalance to be controlled during the elevation movement of the weapon.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kampfpanzer der oben angegebenen Bauart so auszubilden, daß jegliche zusätzliche Unterbrechung des Schutzaufbaus im Bereich der Waffenblende vermieden wird.The invention has for its object to design a battle tank of the type specified above so that any additional interruption of the protective structure in the area of the weapon shield is avoided.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe geschieht erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß der Strahlengang zwischen Waffenwiege und Waffenblende durch eine erste optische Umlenkvorrichtung nach oben umgelenkt und zu einem Punkt im oder am Turm oberhalb der Waffenblende geführt ist, wo er durch eine zweite optische Umlenkvorrichtung nach vorne umgelenkt und zum Ausblick geführt ist. Dabei kann der Ausblick in an der Vorderseite des Turms vorhandenen Spalten oder im Dach des Turms angeordnet sein.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the beam path between the weapon cradle and the weapon cover is deflected upwards by a first optical deflection device and is guided to a point in or on the tower above the weapon cover, where it is deflected forwards by a second optical deflection device and to the view is led. The view can be arranged in columns at the front of the tower or in the roof of the tower.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, auf eine den Ausblick darstellende Öffnung in der Waffenblende dadurch zu verzichten, daß der optische Strahlengang des Zielgerätes so umgelenkt wird, daß der Schutzaufbau in voller Stärke und ohne Schwächung erhalten bleibt.The basic idea of the invention is to dispense with an opening in the weapon aperture which represents the view in that the optical beam path of the target device is deflected so that the protective structure remains in full strength and without weakening.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann als Zusatzeinrichtung für bereits vorhandene Geräte ausgebildet sein, oder es kann bei in der Entwicklung befindlichen Geräten die Ausbildung gleich so vorgenommen werden, daß der Strahlengang in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise umgelenkt wird, daß beispielsweise der Ausblick im Dach oder in vorhandenen Spalten oberhalb der Panzerung stattfindet.The solution according to the invention can be designed as an additional device for already existing devices, or it can be carried out in the case of devices under development so that the beam path is deflected in the manner according to the invention, for example the view in the roof or in existing columns above the armor takes place.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung des Strahlengangs besteht zudem die Möglichkeit, bei einem waffenfesten Zielgerät die Waffenblende so zu gestalten, daß die Blendenbreite auf ein Minimum reduziert wird und damit Gewicht und Unbalancen kleingehalten werden können. Dies ist von besonderem Vorteil bei Waffenblenden, die aufgrund ihres Schutzaufbaus eine große Bautiefe aufweisen. Würde man den Strahlengang durch eine Waffenblende großer Bautiefe hindurchführen, so müßte auch die Öffnung des entsprechenden Durchbruchs immer größer werden, was eine starke Verringerung des Schutzes zur Folge hätte.In the arrangement of the beam path according to the invention, there is also the possibility of designing the weapon aperture in a weapon-fixed aiming device in such a way that the aperture width is reduced to a minimum and thus weight and imbalances can be kept to a minimum. This is of particular advantage for weapon covers, which have a great depth due to their protective structure. If the beam path were to be passed through a weapon aperture of great depth, the opening of the corresponding opening would also have to become larger and larger, which would result in a considerable reduction in protection.

Weiterhin ist es möglich, die Waffenblende aus beweglichen und statischen Blendenelementen zusammenzusetzen, wobei der umgelenkte Strahlengang des Zielgerätes hinter den statischen Blendenelementen angeordnet ist, während das Waffenrohr durch die beweglichen Blendenelemente geführt ist. Auch hierdurch läßt sich eine deutliche Verkleinerung der zu bewegenden Teile des Schutzaufbaus erreichen.Furthermore, it is possible to assemble the weapon shield from movable and static shield elements, the deflected beam path of the aiming device being arranged behind the static shield elements, while the weapon barrel is guided through the movable shield elements. This also allows a significant reduction in the size of the parts of the protective structure to be moved.

Im Folgenden werden anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen die Erfindung und ihr Unterschied gegenüber dem Stand der Technik näher erläutert.The invention and its difference from the prior art are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Die Fig. 1a zeigt einen Kampfpanzerturm T, in dem die in Elevation schwenkbare schwere Waffe 1 gelagert und aus dem Turm herausgeführt ist. Dabei sind nur die für die folgenden Ausführungen notwendigen Teile einer solchen Anordnung dargestellt. Wie aus Fig. 1a, 1 und 2 ersichtlich, ist das Waffenrohr 1 in einer Waffenwiege 2 angeordnet, die über Schildzapfen 3 in mit dem Turmgehäuse verbundenen Lagern 4 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Zur Durchführung nach außen aus dem Turm heraus durchsetzt das Waffenrohr 1 eine Waffenblende 5. In dieser Waffenblende 5 ist ein parallel zur Rohrseelenachse des Waffenrohrs 1 geführter Durchtrittskanal 5.1 vorgesehen. Der Strahlengang eines waffenfesten Zielgerätes 6 ist mit seinem ersten Teil 6.1 durch die Waffenwiege 2 und mit seinem zweiten sich geradlinig an den ersten anschließenden Teil 6.2 durch den Durchtrittskanal 5.1 in der Waffenblende 5 zu einem Ausblick 6.3 an der Vorderseite der Waffenblende 5 geführt. Der Durchtrittskanal 5.1 stellt eine starke Schwächung im frontalen Schutzaufbau des Kampfpanzerturms dar.FIG. 1 a shows a main battle tank tower T in which the heavy weapon 1, which can be pivoted in elevation, is stored and guided out of the tower. Only the parts of such an arrangement necessary for the following explanations are shown. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 a, 1 and 2, the weapon barrel 1 is arranged in a weapon cradle 2, which is pivotably mounted via shield pins 3 in bearings 4 connected to the tower housing. In order to lead out of the turret to the outside, the weapon barrel 1 passes through a weapon shield 5. In this weapon shield 5, a passage channel 5.1 is provided which is parallel to the barrel core axis of the weapon barrel 1. The beam path of a weapon-fixed aiming device 6 is with its first part 6.1 through the weapon cradle 2 and with its second part in a straight line to the first connecting part 6.2 through the passage channel 5.1 in the weapon cover 5 leads to a view 6.3 on the front of the weapon cover 5. The passage channel 5.1 represents a strong weakening in the frontal protective structure of the battle tank tower.

Um diese Schwächung zu vermeiden ist, wie aus Fig. 3 bis 5 zu ersehen, der Strahlengang des Zielgerätes 6 umgelenkt.In order to avoid this weakening, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 to 5, the beam path of the target device 6 is deflected.

In Fig. 3 bis 6 sind die Bauteile, die identisch denen der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und 2 entsprechen, mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet. Das Waffenrohr 1 ist durch die Waffenwiege 2 und die Waffenblende 5 geführt. Der erste Teil 6.1 des Strahlengangs des Zielgerätes 6 verläuft geradlinig durch die Waffenwiege 2. Zwischen Waffenwiege 2 und Waffenblende 5 ist im Strahlengang ein erster Umlenkspiegel 7.1 angeordnet, über den der zweite Teil 6.2 des Strahlengangs durch einen hinter der Waffenblende 5 angeordneten Durchbruch 5.1' nach oben geführt wird bis zu einem Punkt oberhalb der Waffenblende 5, der an der Vorderseite, Oberseite oder innerhalb des Turmaufbaus liegen kann. Dort ist ein zweiter Umlenkspiegel 7.2 angeordnet, durch den der Strahlengang zu dem nicht näher dargestellten Ausblick 6.3' geführt wird. Stellungen unterschiedlicher Waffenelevation sind in Fig. 4 strichpunktiert angedeutet.In FIGS. 3 to 6, the components which correspond to those of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 are identified by the same reference numbers. The weapon barrel 1 is guided through the weapon cradle 2 and the weapon cover 5. The first part 6.1 of the beam path of the aiming device 6 runs in a straight line through the weapon cradle 2. Between the weapon cradle 2 and the weapon cover 5, a first deflection mirror 7.1 is arranged in the beam path, via which the second part 6.2 of the beam path follows through an aperture 5.1 ′ arranged behind the weapon cover 5 is led up to a point above the weapon cover 5, which can be on the front, top or inside the tower structure. A second deflecting mirror 7.2 is arranged there, through which the beam path is guided to the view 6.3 '(not shown in detail). Positions of different weapon elevations are indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 4.

In Fig. 5 ist der umgelenkte Teil des Strahlengangs näher dargestellt. Der nach oben geführte Zweig 6.2' verläuft innerhalb eines Tubus 9, der an den durch die Waffenwiege 2 geführten Teil des Zielgerätes 6 mit einer Objektivlinse 6.4 angesetzt wird und innerhalb des Durchbruchs 5.1' hinter der Waffenblende 5 angeordnet ist. Durch den Umlenkspiegel 7.1 wird der Strahlengang 6.2' nach oben geführt. Um zu verhindern, daß in den oben offenen Tubus 9 Verunreinigungen gelangen können, ist an dessen oberem Ende eine um eine horizontale Achse S schwenkbare Klappe 7.3 vorgesehen, die im zugeklappten Zustand auf Dichtungen 8 aufliegend den Tubus 9 dicht abschließt und somit vor dem Eindringen von Fremdkörpern schützt. An der Innenseite der Klappe 7.3 ist der zweite Umlenkspiegel 7.2 angeordnet. Zum Gebrauch wird die Klappe in eine vorgegebene Öffnungsstellung geklappt, in welcher der zweite Umlenkspiegel 7.2 genau die richtige Position einnimmt, um den Strahlengang zum Ausblick 6.3' hin zu lenken.5, the deflected part of the beam path is shown in more detail. The upward branch 6.2 'runs inside a tube 9, which is attached to the part of the target device 6 guided through the weapon cradle 2 with an objective lens 6.4 and is arranged inside the opening 5.1' behind the weapon shield 5. The beam path 6.2 'is guided upwards by the deflecting mirror 7.1. To prevent that in the tube 9 that is open at the top can get contaminations, a flap 7.3 that can be pivoted about a horizontal axis S is provided at its upper end, which, when closed, rests on seals 8 and seals tube 9 tightly and thus protects against the penetration of foreign bodies. The second deflecting mirror 7.2 is arranged on the inside of the flap 7.3. For use, the flap is folded into a predetermined opening position, in which the second deflecting mirror 7.2 takes exactly the right position in order to steer the beam path towards the view 6.3 '.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Variante des in Fig. 5 dargestellten Teils des Strahlengangs. Bei dieser Variante ist am oberen Ende des Tubus 9 der Umlenkspiegel 7.2' fest angeordnet. In Richtung zum Ausblick 6.3' ist der Tubus 9 mit einem Fenster 10 verschlossen.FIG. 6 shows a variant of the part of the beam path shown in FIG. 5. In this variant, the deflecting mirror 7.2 'is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the tube 9. In the direction of the view 6.3 ', the tube 9 is closed with a window 10.
