  • a basic idea of the invention is the electrical components for supplying electrical energy to the ETC weapon in a particularly inexpensive way and to save space on the tower and vehicle body, where different for individual components depending on the vehicle type and purpose Arrangements within the vehicle interior are possible.
  • The is directly connected to the ignition system of the ETC weapon Pulse energy storage located in the turret as close as possible to the weapon, thus the high electrical power supplied to the weapon by this storage device Performance runs as short as possible.
  • the electric generator on the other hand to generate the electrical energy is in the rear of the Vehicle fuselage arranged in the area of the drive device, since it is direct is driven by this drive device. For the arrangement of the between the generator and the pulse energy storage located energy buffer however, there are different options.
  • He can either be fixed in the fuselage or it can be below the tower in a tower basket rotatable with the tower.
  • One at the Transmission of electrical energy from that located in the vehicle body electrical generator up to the pulse energy storage located in the tower lies in the rotatability of the tower the vehicle body.
  • a flexible cable can be used, but this increases the directional range the main weapon is restricted. Because of this, it is for many Cases more appropriate to choose a slip ring transmitter, where, how explained below using exemplary embodiments, the energy buffer memory can be arranged in front of or behind the slip ring transmitter.
  • the structure of the combat vehicle according to the invention is so flexible that it is allows either an ETC weapon in the same base vehicle or to integrate a conventional powder cannon. It is also possible this concept for combat vehicles with diesel-electric drive or in combat vehicles with a purely diesel engine drive.
  • the arrangement of the electrical components for supplying electrical Energy to the ETC weapon is such that neither the ammunition supply still the access of the crew from and to the exit hatch in the rear of the vehicle are impaired. This is explained below using exemplary embodiments explained in more detail.
  • Electrothermal-chemical Cannons are known per se. With them the energy becomes Projectile drive essentially produced from a powder charge, its chemical Implementation by the supply of electrothermally coupled Energy is controlled. The propellant powder is ignited by a plasma, for the generation of which a high electrical power is supplied must become.
  • Fig. 1 shows a conventional circuit, as in the following embodiments is used with a diesel engine 26, which drives an electric generator 17. The generated electrical Energy is transferred to a pulse energy store 4 via an energy buffer store 6 from which it is fed in single pulses to the ETC weapon.
  • a magnetic dynamic memory can be used as the energy buffer memory 6 be, but it can also be designed as a high-performance battery storage his.
  • the pulse energy store 4 can be used as a capacitive or inductive discharge store be trained.
  • FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of the components in a highly simplified representation 4 to 7.
  • the main battle tank shown has a vehicle body R, which is on a Chain chassis F is arranged and one about a vertical axis of rotation rotatable tower T carries.
  • the ETC weapon Main weapon 1 Inside the tower T is the ETC weapon Main weapon 1 arranged.
  • the pulse energy storage 4 is arranged while on the opposite side of the main weapon 1 a explained in more detail below Readiness magazine 13 for floors is located.
  • Generator 17 is the electrical energy generated via a Slip ring transmitter 10 fed to an energy buffer memory 6, which is within of the fixed to the tower T, designed as a revolving stage Tower basket 27 is located. From the energy buffer storage 6, the electrical one Energy via cable and via the high-voltage charger 5 (see Fig. 4 - 7) fed to the pulse energy store 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows a slightly different embodiment of the components in view on the arrangement of the energy buffer storage. This embodiment will described below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.
  • the energy buffer memory 6 ' is firmly connected to the vehicle body R. and is located below the tower basket 27 '.
  • the electrical energy is from the energy buffer memory 6 'via a slip ring transmitter 10' Pulse energy storage 4 supplied.
  • the tower T is mounted on the vehicle fuselage R via a slewing ring 2.
  • the Main weapon 1 can be pivoted in elevation by means of a leveling cylinder 3. Seen in the firing direction to the right of the main weapon 1 is as a pulse energy store 4 a capacitive discharge memory arranged, the output via a high-voltage cable 12 with the ignition input 1.1 at the rear End of the main weapon 1 is connected.
  • a capacitive discharge memory 16 may be provided, which is arranged in the tower T in the region of the rear end is. This can be advantageous if the first capacitive discharge memory 4 not enough in size. In this case, the memories 4 and 16 interconnected to a common pulse energy storage his. In the case of only one of the two capacitive discharge memories 4 or 16 is available, the free space can be used for other parts of the facility become.
  • the pulse energy store (s) 4 and / or 16 are not shown Cable connections and the high-voltage charger 5 with an energy buffer memory 6 connected, which is designed as a magnetic dynamic memory is.
  • This energy buffer memory 6 is in the illustrated embodiment arranged in the tower cage designed as a rotating platform 27. So he follows the rotation of the tower T.
  • the energy buffer memory 6 is one Slip ring transmitter 10 and lines, not shown, with a generator 17 electrically connected, which is arranged in the rear of the vehicle fuselage R. and with the crankshaft 35 one also essentially to the right in the rear Diesel engine 26 arranged next to the longitudinal center axis of the vehicle connected is.
  • a cooling system 7 consisting of a cooler and heat exchanger with a cooling water pump 9 for cooling heat-emitting electrical units, in particular of the energy buffer memory 6, and a vacuum pump 8 for the Energy buffer memory 6.
  • a further unit 11 is the control and Power electronics housed for the energy buffer memory 6.
