Description
Le domaine technique de la présente invention est celui des dispositifs d'aide au chargement manuel d'un canon d'artillerie.The technical field of the present invention is that of devices for assisting in the manual loading of an artillery gun.
Un canon d'artillerie est classiquement servi par une équipe dont le rôle est, entre autre, de charger l'arme pour assurer une cadence de tir de l'ordre de 3 à 6 coups/mn. Cela nécessite la manipulation des projectiles et des charges propulsives et leur chargement dans le canon. Le canon d'artillerie est déjà équipé d'un mécanisme de chargement qui facilite surtout l'introduction du projectile, généralement lourd, dans la chambre du canon. Outre les gargousses classiques, on est amené à utiliser des charges uni-modulaires constituées sous forme de modules cylindriques de même longueur, la portée du projectile étant ajustée en jouant sur le nombre des modules. Il est bien connu que l'utilisation de modules permet une meilleure gestion de la charge propulsive et évite le gaspillage advenant dans le cas de l'utilisation de gargousses, mais par contre pose un problème au niveau de leur introduction dans la chambre du canon surtout si on veut augmenter la cadence.An artillery cannon is conventionally served by a team whose role is, among other things, to charge the weapon to ensure a rate of fire of the order of 3 to 6 rounds / min. This requires the handling of projectiles and propellant charges and their loading into the barrel. The artillery gun is already equipped with a loading mechanism which especially facilitates the introduction of the projectile, generally heavy, into the chamber of the gun. In addition to the conventional gargousses, it is necessary to use uni-modular charges constituted in the form of cylindrical modules of the same length, the range of the projectile being adjusted by varying the number of modules. It is well known that the use of modules allows better management of the propellant charge and avoids wastage occurring in the case of the use of gargousses, but on the other hand poses a problem in terms of their introduction into the barrel chamber especially if we want to increase the pace.
L'armée américaine a adopté un dispositif d'aide au chargement constitué d'un ensemble de pinces fixées sur un support unique, permettant d'appréhender chacun des modules. Le système est complexe et peu fiable car il faut commander simultanément l'ouverture de toutes les pinces quelles que soient les conditions d'utilisation généralement sévères pour ce type de canon. Ce système n'est donc pas aisé à l'emploi et surtout n'assure pas la réversibilité, c'est-à-dire qu'il ne permet pas de décharger le canon en cas d'incident de tir.The American army adopted a device of assistance to the loading made up of a set of clamps fixed on a single support, allowing to apprehend each of the modules. The system is complex and unreliable because it is necessary to simultaneously control the opening of all the clamps whatever the generally severe conditions of use for this type of barrel. This system is therefore not easy to use and above all does not ensure reversibility, that is to say that it does not allow the barrel to be discharged in the event of a shooting incident.
L'armée allemande préconise l'utilisation de modules emboîtables qui évite l'emploi d'un système d'aide au chargement mais présente justement l'inconvénient de nécessiter un positionnement pour les emboîter. On conçoit que cette manière de faire est peu compatible avec les conditions d'utilisation d'un canon d'artillerie de campagne et limite la cadence de tir.The German army recommends the use of interlocking modules which avoids the use of a loading aid system but precisely presents the disadvantage of requiring positioning to fit them. We can see that this way of doing things is not very compatible with the conditions of use of a field artillery cannon and limits the rate of fire.
Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif d'aide au chargement ne présentant pas les inconvénients précités tout en procurant une cadence élevée de tir pour charger et décharger les modules quel que soit le type de la chambre ou les gargousses traditionnelles.The object of the present invention is to provide a loading aid device which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks while providing a high rate of fire for loading and unloading the modules whatever the type of chamber or the traditional gargoyles.
L'objet de l'invention est donc un dispositif d'aide au chargement ou au déchargement d'un canon d'artillerie de campagne à l'aide de charges uni-modulaires cylindriques ou de gargousses, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'un moyen de réception des charges en nombre compris de 1 à 6 actionnable manuellement qui est apte à s'engager dans la chambre du canon et à libérer lesdites charges avant la mise à feu.The object of the invention is therefore a device for assisting with the loading or unloading of a field artillery cannon using cylindrical uni-modular charges or gargoyles, characterized in that it is constituted means for receiving charges in number from 1 to 6 which can be actuated manually and which is capable of engaging in the chamber of the barrel and of releasing said charges before firing.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les charges sont libérées par rotation du moyen de réception par rapport à la chambre du canon, le moyen de réception se présentant sous la forme d'une goulotte semi-cylindrique munie à une extrémité d'un moyen de positionnement des charges et d'une poignée de manoeuvre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the charges are released by rotation of the receiving means relative to the barrel chamber, the receiving means being in the form of a semi-cylindrical chute provided at one end with a means of positioning of the loads and of an operating handle.
A titre d'exemple, la goulotte est fabriquée en un matériau composite constitué de fibres de verre enrobées de résine époxy chargée d'un matériau conducteur tel une matrice métallique ou des micro billes métallisées pour permettre l'évacuation des charges électrostatiques.For example, the chute is made of a composite material consisting of glass fibers coated with epoxy resin loaded with a conductive material such as a metallic matrix or metallized micro balls to allow the evacuation of electrostatic charges.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de positionnement se présente sous la forme d'une cloison interne intégrée à la goulotte, ladite goulotte étant équipée d'une cloison externe munie de la poignée de manoeuvre.According to another characteristic of the invention, the positioning means is in the form of an internal partition integrated into the chute, said chute being equipped with an external partition provided with the operating handle.
Un tout premier avantage du dispositif selon l'invention réside dans sa simplicité de réalisation procurant une utilisation autonome quelles que soient les conditions d'utilisation de l'artillerie de campagne.A very first advantage of the device according to the invention lies in its simplicity of construction providing autonomous use whatever the conditions of use of the field artillery.
Un autre avantage réside dans le faible encombrement et la très faible masse , de l'ordre de 1,5 kg, de ce dispositif qui peut être utilisé avec des chambres de canon de dimensions différentes.Another advantage lies in the small footprint and the very low mass, of the order of 1.5 kg, of this device which can be used with barrel chambers of different dimensions.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture du complément de description donné ci-après à titre indicatif en relation avec les dessins annexés sur lesquels :

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet comme indiqué précédemment de charger un canon d'artillerie 1 présentant une chambre 2 prolongée par un manchon de culasse 3. Un anneau d'étanchéité 4 est classiquement interposé entre la chambre 2 et le manchon 3, et la chambre est fermée classiquement à l'aide d'un coin de culasse non représenté. La chambre est également munie d'une cuillère de retenue 5 de la charge 6 se présentant sous la forme de un à six modules cylindriques 61-66. Cette charge 6 est, après mise à feu, génératrice de gaz de propulsion du projectile 7 dans la canon 1. Suivant l'invention, ces modules de la charge 6 sont introduits dans la chambre 2 avec un moyen d'aide au chargement constitué d'un moyen de réception 8 manoeuvrable manuellement par l'intermédiaire d'une poignée 9. La longueur du moyen de réception 8 est adaptée à la longueur de la chambre 2 et on peut prévoir par exemple que l'extrémité libre de ce moyen de réception soit en butée contre le projectile et que le module 66 soit approximativement placé au niveau de la cuillère 5.The device according to the invention makes it possible, as indicated above, to charge an
Après la mise en place du moyen 8, on le fait pivoter de 180° environ par rapport à la chambre 2 comme représenté sur la figure 2. Les modules 61-66 reposent alors dans la chambre 2. Le moyen 8 est ensuite extrait de la chambre et lors de ce mouvement, la charge 6 est entraînée par frottement par ledit moyen 8 et le module 66vient en appui sur la cuillère 5 et la mise à feu de la charge 6 peut être commandée.After the introduction of the
Si on désire décharger la chambre 2, par exemple en cas d'incident de tir, on procède de la manière inverse pour récupérer les modules. On introduit le moyen 8 dans la chambre 2 comme schématisé sur la figure 2 ; on impose une rotation de 180° du moyen 8 pour revenir à la position représentée sur la figure 1 ; on ramène ensuite la charge 6 à l'extérieur.If it is desired to unload the
La structure particulière du moyen 8 est représentée en perspective sur la figure 3. Il comporte une partie avant allongée se présentant sous la forme d'une goulotte 10 présentant une portion de cylindre d'angle d'environ 200° longitudinalement permettant de maintenir les modules lors des déplacements que doit effectuer le servant de l'arme. A une extrémité de cette goulotte 10, est fixée une cloison interne 11 et une cloison externe 12 disposées toutes deux transversalement. La cloison 11 constitue un moyen de positionnement des modules 61-66 lorsqu'ils sont placés sur la goulotte afin que le module 66, comme indiqué précédemment, soit à la verticale de la cuillère 5 de chargement. La cloison 12 fixée au niveau de l'extrémité de la goulotte 10 sert de support à la poignée 9 de manoeuvre. L'espace compris entre les deux cloisons est éventuellement obturé par une plaque afin d'éviter entre celles-ci l'accumulation de déchets.The particular structure of the
Le moyen 8 peut être constitué en totalité ou en partie d'un matériau composite du type fibres de verre enrobées de résine époxy chargée d'un matériau conducteur tel une matrice de métal ou des micro billes de verre métallisées ou bien encore de noir de carbone afin d'évacuer les charges électrostatiques qui pourraient initier les modules.The
Les figures 4 à 7 illustrent différentes formes de réalisation du moyen 8. Sur la figure 4, on voit la goulotte 10 sur laquelle sont raccordées les parois 11 et 12 elles-mêmes reliées par la paroi 13. La variante illustrée par la figure 5 montre la goulotte 10 à laquelle est raccordée la paroi 11. A cette dernière, on fixe un élément 14 par des fixations 15, supportant la poignée 9.Figures 4 to 7 illustrate different embodiments of the
Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent des variantes de réalisation pour lesquelles la chambre du canon est de longueur plus réduite. Dans ce cas, on dispose un module 16 en matériau composite et la goulotte 10 reçoit alors de un à cinq modules 61-65. La figure 6 illustre le cas où le module 16 est fixé à la goulotte par exemple par collage et l'élément 14 est raccordé comme représenté sur la figure 5 par les fixations 15 à la paroi 11. La figure 7 illustre le cas où, comme représenté sur la figure 4, la goulotte 10 est munie des parois 11 et 12 et la module 16 est raccordé à la paroi 11 par la fixation 17.Figures 6 and 7 illustrate alternative embodiments for which the barrel chamber is of shorter length. In this case, there is a
