Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Behältnis für Munition gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container for ammunition according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Versorgung der Artillerietruppe mit Munition ist für die dafür vorgesehene Nachschubtruppe personal- und materialintensiv. Bedingt durch die gewünschte Reduzierung der Truppenstärke der besagten Nachschubtruppe kommt der Rationalisierung dieser Versorgungseinheit eine besondere Bedeutung zu.The supply of artillery troops with ammunition is personnel and material intensive for the supply troop intended for this purpose. The rationalization of this supply unit is of particular importance due to the desired reduction in the number of troops in the supply force.

Die besagte Versorgung erfolgt bspw. mit Hilfe eines Wechselladesystems, das aus einem geeigneten Fahrzeug, einer zugehörigen Wechselladepritsche sowie einer Wechselladeeinrichtung besteht. Umfangreiche Untersuchungen während der letzten Jahre haben zu dem Ergebnis geführt, daß mit einem derartigen Wechselladesystem in Kombination mit wiederaufnehmbaren Wechselladepritschen Personal- und Materialeinsparungen möglich sind. Außerdem hat sich gezeigt, daß mit einem solchen Wechselladesystem Verkürzungen der Umlaufzeiten beim Umschlag, bei der Lagerung und beim Transport von Munition bzw. von Versorgungsgütern, erzielbar sind. Diese Untersuchungen resultieren in dem Rüstungsvorhaben namens MULTI (-Mobile Umschlag-, Lager- und Transportintegration). Das Wechselladesystem MULTI soll primär der Versorgung der Artillerietruppe mit Großverbraucher-Munition, insbes. mit Artilleriemunition 155 mm, dienen.Said supply is carried out, for example, with the aid of an interchangeable loading system consisting of a suitable vehicle, an associated interchangeable loading platform and an interchangeable loading device. Extensive investigations over the past few years have led to the result that personnel and material savings can be made with such a removable loading system in combination with removable removable loading platforms. In addition, it has been shown that such an interchangeable loading system shortens the turnaround times for handling, storage and transportation of ammunition or of Supplies, are achievable. These studies result in the armaments project called MULTI (-Mobile handling, storage and transport integration). The MULTI interchangeable loading system is primarily intended to supply the artillery troop with bulk consumer ammunition, in particular with 155 mm artillery ammunition.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Behältnis der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das eine rasche Schwerpunktbildung ermöglicht, das eine Erhöhung von Lagerkapazitäten für das bewegliche Bereithalten von Munition hei einer Reduzierung der Umschlaghäufigkeit und das eine Optimierung der Transportkapazitäten ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned, which enables rapid center of gravity formation, an increase in storage capacity for moving ammunition ready hei a reduction in turnover and which enables optimization of transport capacity.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Behältnis der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichenteiles des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausbzw. Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Behältnisses sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved according to the invention in a container of the type mentioned at the outset by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Preferred training Developments of the container according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis weist den Vorteil auf, daß es sich für das oben erwähnte Rüstungsvorhaben namens MULTI optimal eignet, d.h. eine Rationalisierung der personalund materialintensiven Versorgung der Artillerietruppe mit Munition durch die Nachschubtruppe ermöglicht. Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis läßt die Integration aller eingeführten Geschosse, insbes. 155 mm - Geschosse und Treibladungen, zu und trägt somit wesentlich zur Fähigkeit rascher Schwerpunktbildung, zu einem schnellen Umschlag sowie einer Erhöhung der Lagerkapazitäten zum beweglichen Bereithalten der entsprechenden Munition bei. Außerdem ist in vorteilhafter Weise eine bedarfsgerechte Entnahme ohne ein ungewolltes oder unerwünschtes Brechen der sog. MULTI-Beladung möglich. Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis ist in vorteilhafter Weise in Leichtbauweise realisierbar und es ist für Geschosse sowie für in Treibladungsbehältern vorgesehene Treibladungen gleich gut geeignet. Ein für eine Anzahl Treibladungen vorgesehener Transport- bzw. Treibladungsbehälter ist in der Patentanmeldung 196 19 191.2 der Anmelderin beschrieben. Im erfindungsgemäßen Behältnis ist es möglich, eine definierte Anzahl derartiger Treibladungsbehälter sicher und zuverlässig unterzubringen. Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis bildet somit entweder eine Geschoßpalette oder eine Treibladungspalette. Es ist zum System MULTI kompatibel und ermöglicht einen schnellen Umschlag, eine sichere Lagerung und eine bedarfsgerechte Entnahme unter minimalem personellem und zeitlichem Aufwand - wie bereits erwähnt worden ist.The container according to the invention has the advantage that it is optimally suited for the above-mentioned armament project called MULTI, ie it enables the supply and ammunition supply of the artillery force to be rationalized by the supply force. The container according to the invention permits the integration of all the projectiles that have been introduced, in particular 155 mm projectiles and propellant charges, and thus contributes significantly to the ability to quickly establish a center of gravity, to a rapid changeover and to an increase in the storage capacities for the mobile ammunition to be kept ready. In addition, a need-based removal is advantageously possible without an unwanted or unwanted breaking of the so-called MULTI loading. The container according to the invention is in advantageously realized in a lightweight construction and it is equally well suited for projectiles and for propellant charges provided in propellant charge containers. A transport or propellant charge container provided for a number of propellant charges is described in the applicant's patent application 196 19 191.2. In the container according to the invention, it is possible to safely and reliably accommodate a defined number of such propellant charge containers. The container according to the invention thus forms either a floor pallet or a propellant pallet. It is compatible with the MULTI system and enables fast handling, safe storage and removal according to requirements with minimal expenditure of personnel and time - as already mentioned.

Das erfindungsgemäße Behältnis in Gestalt der Geschoßpalette erlaubt die Lagerung und den Transport aller eingeführten Geschoßtypen, insbes. für Artilleriemunition 155 mm, auch in bezündeter Form. Das Behältnis in Form der Treibladungspalette erlaubt in vorteilhafter Weise die Integration aller eingeführten Treibladungen und außerdem auch die Integration der neu einzuführenden modularen Treibladung. Durch geeignete geringfügige Adaption bietet die besagte Treibladungspalette darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, als Verpackungseinheit für SMArt eingesetzt zu werden. Geschoß- und Treibladungspalette sind derartig ausgelegt, daß sie als Beladeeinheit MULTI zusammengefaßt werden können. Diese Beladeeinheit kann bspw.180 Schuß Artilleriemunition 155 mm mit zugehörigen Treibladungen und Anzündern beinhalten, die in einem Depot vorkonfektionierbar sind.The container according to the invention in the form of the floor pallet allows the storage and transport of all types of floors introduced, in particular for artillery ammunition 155 mm, also in an ignited form. The container in the form of the propellant charge pallet advantageously allows the integration of all introduced propellant charges and also the integration of the new modular propellant charge to be introduced. With a suitable slight adaptation, the propellant pallet also offers the possibility of being used as a packaging unit for SMArt. Storey and propellant pallets are designed in such a way that they can be combined as a MULTI loading unit. This loading unit can contain, for example, 180 rounds of artillery ammunition 155 mm with associated propellant charges and igniters, which can be pre-assembled in a depot.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen eine Ausbildung des Behältnisses 10, das für Munition in Form von Geschossen 12 vorgesehen ist. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen Geschosse 12 in Form von Artilleriemunition 155 mm, wobei Geschosse 12 unterschiedlicher Länge schematisch mit strichlierten dünnen Linien verdeutlicht sind. Im jeweiligen Behältnis 10 sind selbstverständlich nur Geschosse 12 gleicher Bauart, d.h. gleicher axialer Abmessungen untergebracht.Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the container 10, which is intended for ammunition in the form of projectiles 12. Figures 1 and 2 show bullets 12 in the form of artillery ammunition 155 mm, bullets 12 of different lengths are shown schematically with dashed thin lines. In the respective container 10 there are of course only floors 12 of the same type, i.e. same axial dimensions housed.

Das Behältnis 10 weist einen Boden 14 auf, von welchem Ecksäulen 16 nach oben ragen. Durch die vier Ecksäulen 16 sind zwei Paare Seitenflächen 18 (sh. Fig. 2) und 20 (sh. Fig. 1) festgelegt, wobei die beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen 18 jeweils mit einer Verstrebung 22 versehen sind, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist.The container 10 has a bottom 14, from which corner pillars 16 protrude upwards. The four corner pillars 16 define two pairs of side faces 18 (see FIG. 2) and 20 (see FIG. 1), the two opposite side faces 18 each having one Bracing 22 are provided, as can be seen from Fig. 2.

Der Boden 14 ist palettenartig mit Öffnungen 24 ausgebildet, die zum Einstecken der Gabelzinken eines Gabelstaplers vorgesehen sind.The bottom 14 is formed like a pallet with openings 24, which are provided for inserting the forks of a forklift.

Die verstrebten Seitenflächen 18 sind am oberseitigen Ende 26 der Ecksäulen 16 mit Querstreben 28 versehen, die sich zwischen den entsprechenden Ecksäulen 16 erstrecken. Die Querstreben 28 weisen voneinander einen an den Boden 14 angepaßten Abstand auf, so daß es möglich ist, Behältnisse 10 wunschgemäß aufeinanderzustapeln.The braced side surfaces 18 are provided at the upper end 26 of the corner pillars 16 with cross struts 28 which extend between the corresponding corner pillars 16. The cross struts 28 are spaced apart from one another by the base 14, so that it is possible to stack containers 10 on top of one another as desired.

An der Oberseite des Behältnisses 10 ist ein begehbarer Deckel 30 vorgesehen, der um eine Achse 32 (sh. Fig. 1) verschwenkbar ist. Die Achse 32 ist bspw. durch zwei Zapfen 34 festgelegt, die miteinander axial fluchten und die sich in zugehörige Laschen 36 hineinerstrecken, die von den die verstrebten Seitenflächen 18 bestimmenden Ecksäulen 16 nach innen wegstehen.A walk-on cover 30 is provided on the top of the container 10 and can be pivoted about an axis 32 (see FIG. 1). The axis 32 is fixed, for example, by two pins 34 which are axially aligned with one another and which extend into associated tabs 36 which project inward from the corner pillars 16 which determine the braced side surfaces 18.

Zum genauen Positionieren und Festlegen der entsprechenden Geschosse 12 ist der Boden 14 des Behältnisses 10 oberseitig mit Positionierelementen 38 versehen. Die Positionierelemente 38 dienen zum Festlegen des Bodenendes 40 des jeweiligen Geschosses 12. Außerdem ist zwischen den Ecksäulen 16 eine Zwischenplatte 42 begrenzt beweglich, d.h. höhenverstellbar, vorgesehen, die zum Einstecken und Festhalten der Kopfabschnitte 44 von Geschossen 12 mit Löchern 46 ausgebildet ist. Zum zuverlässigen rüttelfreien Festhalten der Kopfabschnitte 44 der Geschosse 12 ist der Rand 48 jedes Loches 46 mit einem Ringelement 50 aus elastisch nachgiebigem Material versehen. Die Ringelemente 50 werden gegen die zugehörigen Geschosse 12 bzw. deren Kopfabschnitte 44 gezwängt, indem die Zwischenplatte 42 mit Hilfe von Spanngurten 52 in Richtung des Bodens 14 des Behältnisses 10 gezogen wird. In Fig. 1 ist einer dieser Spanngurte 52 verdeutlicht.For the exact positioning and fixing of the corresponding projectiles 12, the bottom 14 of the container 10 is provided on the top with positioning elements 38. The positioning elements 38 serve to fix the bottom end 40 of the respective storey 12. In addition, an intermediate plate 42 is provided between the corner columns 16 with limited movement, ie, adjustable in height, which is designed to insert and hold the head sections 44 of storeys 12 with holes 46. To reliably hold the head sections 44 of the projectiles 12 without shaking, the edge 48 of each hole 46 is provided with a ring element 50 made of elastically resilient material. The ring elements 50 are forced against the associated projectiles 12 or their head sections 44 by pulling the intermediate plate 42 toward the bottom 14 of the container 10 with the aid of tensioning belts 52. 1 shows one of these tension belts 52.

Zur Begrenzung der Höhenbeweglichkeit der Zwischenplatte 42 sind die Ecksäulen 16 mit Anschlägen 54 und 56 versehen, die es ermöglichen, Geschosse 12 unterschiedlicher Längenabmessungen jeweils zuverlässig im Behältnis 10 festzulegen.To limit the vertical mobility of the intermediate plate 42, the corner pillars 16 are provided with stops 54 and 56, which make it possible to reliably store projectiles 12 of different length dimensions in the container 10.

Zum Schutze der bspw. bezündeten Kopfabschnitte 44 der Geschosse 12 ist auf der Zwischenplatte 42 ein Kappenelement 58 bspw. mit Hilfe eines Spanngurtes 60 (sh. Fig. 2) festlegbar.To protect the fired head sections 44 of the projectiles 12, a cap element 58 can be fixed on the intermediate plate 42, for example with the aid of a tension belt 60 (see FIG. 2).

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen eine andere Ausbildung des Behältnisses 10, das nicht für Geschosse 12 sondern für in Treibladungsbehältern 62 vorgesehene Treibladungen vorgesehen ist. In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind nur zwei derartiger Treibladungsbehälter 62 schematisch verdeutlicht, wie sie in der eingangs erwähnten Patentanmeldung 196 19 191.2 der Anmelderin beschrieben sind. Auch das Behältnis 10 gemäß den Figuren 3 und 4 weist einen Boden 14 auf, von welchem Ecksäulen 16 nach oben stehen. Die vier Ecksäulen 16 legen zwei sich gegenüberliegende Seitenflächen 18 (sh. Fig. 4) und 20 (sh. Fig. 3) fest. Die beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen 18 sind jeweils mit einer Verstrebung 22 ausgebildet. Am oberseitigen Ende 26 der die verstrebten Seitenflächen 18 festlegenden Ecksäulen 16 sind Querstreben 28 vorgesehen, die sich zwischen den besagten oberseitigen Enden 26 der Ecksäulen 16 erstrecken. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Querstreben 28 ist an die entsprechenden Grundabmessungen des Bodens 14 angepaßt, so daß Behältnisse 10 gemäß den Figuren 3 und 4 wie die Behältnisse 10 gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 übereinander stapelbar sind. Das ist in Fig. 3 auch durch Querstreben 28 angedeutet, die dem Boden 14 zugeordnet sind.FIGS. 3 and 4 show another design of the container 10, which is not intended for projectiles 12 but for propellant charges provided in propellant charge containers 62. FIGS. 3 and 4 only schematically illustrate two such propellant charge containers 62, as described in the applicant's patent application 196 19 191.2 mentioned at the beginning. The container 10 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 also has a bottom 14, from which corner pillars 16 stand upwards. The four corner pillars 16 define two opposite side surfaces 18 (see FIG. 4) and 20 (see FIG. 3). The two opposite side surfaces 18 are each formed with a strut 22. At the top end 26 of the braced side surfaces 18 defining the corner pillars 16, cross struts 28 are provided which extend between the said top ends 26 of the corner pillars 16. The distance between the two cross struts 28 are adapted to the corresponding basic dimensions of the base 14, so that containers 10 according to FIGS. 3 and 4, like containers 10 according to FIGS. 1 and 2, can be stacked one above the other. This is also indicated in FIG. 3 by cross struts 28 which are assigned to the floor 14.

Auch das Behältnis 10 gemäß den Figuren 3 und 4 ist oberseitig mit einem Deckel 30 versehen, der um eine Achse 32 verschwenkbar ist. Die Achse 32 ist zur Längserstreckung der Treibladungsbehälter 62 senkrecht orientiert vorgesehen.The container 10 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is also provided on the upper side with a cover 30 which can be pivoted about an axis 32. The axis 32 is provided to be oriented vertically to the longitudinal extent of the propellant charge container 62.

Vom Boden 14 stehen oberseitig Auflagerelemente 64 weg, die voneinander beabstandet sind und zueinander parallel verlaufen. Die Auflagerelemente 64 bestehen aus einem geeigneten Strangprofilmaterial.Support elements 64, which are spaced apart from one another and run parallel to one another, protrude from the top 14. The support elements 64 consist of a suitable extruded profile material.

Zur sicheren Festlegung einer entsprechenden Anzahl Treibladungsbehälter 62 im Behältnis 10 dienen Spanngurte, die an geeigneten Elementen 66 anbringbar sind.Tension belts, which can be attached to suitable elements 66, serve to securely fix a corresponding number of propellant charge containers 62 in the container 10.
