Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gepanzertes Transportkraftfahrzeug mit einer von einem Räder- oder Kettenlaufwerk getragenen Fahrzeugwanne, Ein/Ausstiegsluken im Dach- und/oder Heckbereich der Fahrzeugwanne, sowie einer Bordmaschinenwaffe, welche über Schildzapfen in Elevation schwenkbar in einer Lafette aufgehängt ist, die über einen Drehkranz in Azimut schwenkbar auf dem Dach der Fahrzeugwanne gelagert ist.The invention relates to an armored transport vehicle with one of a vehicle or pan drive supported vehicle pan, entry / exit hatches in the roof and / or rear of the vehicle pan, as well as a On-board machine gun, which pivots over trunnion in elevation in a carriage is suspended, which can be swiveled over a turntable in azimuth is stored on the roof of the vehicle pan.

Derartige gepanzerte Transportfahrzeuge sind im militärischen Bereich unter der Abkürzung "GTK" - z.B. als Radfahrzeug 6 x 6 und 8 x 8 mit besonders großer Bauhöhe - in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen allgemein bekannt. Bei den bisher bekannten gepanzerten Transportkraftfahrzeugen war jeweils die zu einem speziellen Fahrzeugtyp gehörende Bordmaschinenwaffe im Konzept vorgegeben und das Fahrzeug bzw. die die Waffe aufnehmende Lafette waren in ihrer Konstruktion an die Ausbildung der Waffe und ihr Kaliber angepaßt. Such armored transport vehicles are in the military sector under the abbreviation "GTK" - e.g. as a wheeled vehicle 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 with extra great height - in various embodiments well known. In the previously known armored transport vehicles was respectively the on-board machine gun belonging to a specific vehicle type Concept given and the vehicle or the gun picking mount were in their construction to the training of the weapon and its caliber customized.

Dies brachte Nachteile mit sich, da der Entwicklungszeitraum eines derartigen Fahrzeugs von der Konzeptfindung bis zum ersten Serienfahrzeug sich über Jahre erstrecken kann und dann die ursprünglich vorgegebene Bewaffung nicht mehr den Erfordernissen zum Zeitpunkt der Serienreife entspricht. Eine Änderung der Bewaffnung bzw. des Kalibers zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt verursacht hohe Kosten für die Umkonstruktion an der Lafette oder Waffenaufnahme sowie am Fahrzeug selbst. Weiterhin ist oft eine Umverstauung von Einrichtungsteilen notwendig und die Einhaltung eines Gewichtslimits schwierig.This has disadvantages since the development period of such Vehicle from concept finding to the first production vehicle Years and then the originally given no longer meets the requirements at the time of series production. A Change of armament or caliber at a later date causes high costs for the reconstruction of the gun carriage or weapons intake and on the vehicle itself. Furthermore, there is often a Umststauung of Equipment parts necessary and compliance with a weight limit difficult.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gepanzertes Transportkraftfahrzeug mit den eingangs und im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen so auszubilden, daß mit geringem Einbauaufwand Bordmaschinenwaffen unterschiedlicher Ausbildung und mit unterschiedlichem Kaliber in das Fahrzeug eingebaut werden können. Das Gesamtkonzept des Fahrzeugs sollte an diese Aufgabe angepaßt werden.The invention is based on the object, an armored transport vehicle with the beginning and in the preamble of claim 1 specified Trait so that with little installation effort on-board machine weapons different training and with different caliber can be installed in the vehicle. The overall concept of the vehicle should be adapted to this task.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved according to the invention with the features the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous development of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, gemäß einem modularen Lafettenkonzept den unbemannten flachen Schartenturm, der die Lafette der Bordmaschinenwaffe darstellt, so auszubilden, daß die Schildzapfenachse und der Drehkranz Mittelpunkt am Fahrzeug für alle vorgesehenen Waffentypen gleich bleiben und trotzdem die geforderten Richtbereiche in Höhe und Seite eingehalten werden.A basic idea of the invention is, according to a modular Lafettenkonzept the unmanned flat Schartenturm, which the carriage of the On-board machine gun represents to train so that the trunnion axis and the turntable center on the vehicle for all intended weapon types stay the same and yet the required Richtbereiche in amount and Page complied with.

Wie weiter unten anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert, ist bei diesem Konzept auch eine für alle Waffentypen gleiche Anordnung der Munitionsmagazine und Munitionszuführungen sowie des Höhen- und Seitenrichtanstriebs und der Ziel- und Rundumsichtgeräte möglich. Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Konzept ist die Bordmaschinenwaffe vollständig vom Mannschaftsraum getrennt, und die Bewegungen des Schartenturms, der Bordmaschinenwaffe und sonstiger im Schartenturm angeordneter Einrichtungsteile werden vom Mannschaftsraum aus ferngesteuert betrieben. Weiterhin ist es möglich, ein ebenfalls fernbetriebenes Maschinengewehr seitlich am Schartenturm anzuordnen.As explained below with reference to an embodiment, is in this Concept also a uniform arrangement of ammunition magazines for all weapon types and ammunition feeders as well as the elevation and side aiming impulse and the target and all-round viewing devices possible. After the invention Concept is the on-board machine weapon completely separated from the crew compartment, and the movements of the Schartenturm, the on-board machine gun and other equipment parts arranged in the barn tower are taken from the crew room operated remotely.

Es ist selbstverständlich möglich hier auch, zumindestens teilweise, Kettenlaufwerke vorzusehen. Das Fahrzeug ist mit einer Bordmaschinenwaffe MW ausgerüstet, und im Mannschaftsinnenraum der Fahrzeugwanne können ein Kommandant, ein Waffenbediener, ein Fahrer und weitere Mannschaften untergebracht werden. Der Ein/Ausstieg kann einerseits über im Dachbereich der Fahrzeugwanne FW angeordnete Ein/Ausstiegsluken 14, 15 sowie 20 und 21 erfolgen und es kann weiterhin in nicht dargestellter Weise eine Ausstiegsklappe im Heckbereich der Fahrzeugwanne FW vorgesehen sein.Figs. 1 to 3 show an armored transport vehicle (GTK) with a Vehicle tray FW, in the illustrated embodiment of a Wheel drive RL is worn. It is of course possible here as well at least partially, to provide crawler tracks. The vehicle is with an on-board weapon MW equipped, and in the crew interior The vehicle bucket can be a commander, a weapons operator, a driver and other teams will be accommodated. The entry / exit can on the one hand arranged in the roof area of the vehicle pan FW Entry / exit hatches 14, 15 as well as 20 and 21 take place and it can continue in not shown way an exit door in the rear of the vehicle pan FW be provided.

    Auf dem Dach der Fahrzeugwanne FW ist über einen Drehkranz 3 ein flacher Schartenturm 1 angeordnet, in dessen Scharte 2 die Bordmaschinenwaffe MW hineingeführt ist. Die Waffenaufnahme 5 ist in Schildzapfen 6 aufgehängt. Der Schartenturm 1 ist unbemannt und die Bordmaschinenwaffe MW sowie alle weiteren im Schartenturm 1 angeordneten Geräte und Einrichtungen werden aus dem Innenraum der Fahrzeugwanne FW heraus fembedient, wobei die zur Fernbedienung erforderliche elektrische Energie und die Signale über einen Schleifring 4 übertragen werden, dessen Drehachse D1 mit der Achse des Drehkranzes 3 zusammenfällt.On the roof of the vehicle pan FW is a flat via a turntable 3 Schartenturm 1 arranged in the Scharte 2 the on-board machine gun MW is led in. The weapon mount 5 is suspended in trunnions 6. The Schartenturm 1 is unmanned and the on-board machine gun MW and all other devices and devices arranged in the ignition tower 1 will be fembedient out of the interior of the vehicle pan FW, where the required for remote control electrical energy and the signals via a slip ring 4 are transmitted, whose axis of rotation D1 with the axis of the turntable 3 coincides.

    Der Schartenturm 1 kann so ausgebildet und angeordnet sein, daß seine Längsmittelachse LM2 gegenüber der Längsmittelachse LM1 der Fahrzeugwanne seitlich versetzt angeordnet ist.The Schartenturm 1 can be designed and arranged so that its Longitudinal center axis LM2 with respect to the longitudinal center axis LM1 of the vehicle pan is arranged offset laterally.

    Der Schartenturm soll so ausgebildet sein, daß unterschiedliche Bordmaschinenwaffen, insbesondere solche sehr unterschiedlichen Kalibers mit der gleichen Lage der Schildzapfen 6 und auf dem gleichen Drehkranz 3 angeordnet werden können. Hierzu ist der innerhalb der Scharte 2 zur Verfügung stehende Raum und insbesondere der Abstand der Schildzapfen 6 und ihre Lage so gewählt, daß eine Waffe mit dem größten vorgesehenen Kaliber von 30 mm an den Schildzapfen 6 aufgehängt werden kann. Damit für alle in Frage kommenden Waffentypen der geforderte Richtbereich von -10° bis +45° erreicht werden kann, ist die Ausbildung so, daß der vertikale Abstand der Schildzapfenachse D2 von der Dachoberseite E1 der Fahrzeugwanne FW mindestens 490 mm beträgt und der horizontale Abstand in Richtung der Längsmittelachse LM2 des Schartenturms 1 zwischen einer die Schildzapfenachse D2 enthaltenden vertikalen Ebene E2 und der Achse D1 des Drehkranzes 3 höchstens 30 mm beträgt. Mit diesen Randbedingungen ist es möglich, alle vorgesehenen Waffentypen in den Schartenturm 1 zu integrieren. Es ist prinzipiell auch möglich, Waffentypen mit noch größerem Kaliber von beispielsweise 35 mm zu integrieren; es muß dann aber eine Einschränkung des Richtbereiches in Kauf genommen werden.The Schartenturm should be designed so that different on-board machine guns, especially such very different caliber with the same Location of the trunnions 6 and arranged on the same turntable 3 can be. For this purpose, the within the Scharte 2 available Space and in particular the distance of the trunnions 6 and their position so chosen that a weapon with the largest intended caliber of 30 mm can be hung on the trunnions 6. So for all eligible Weapons types the required straightening range of -10 ° to + 45 ° achieved can be, the training is such that the vertical distance of the trunnion axis D2 from the roof top E1 of the vehicle pan FW at least 490 mm and the horizontal distance in the direction of the longitudinal central axis LM2 of the Schartenturms 1 between a the trunnion axis D2 containing vertical plane E2 and the axis D1 of the turntable 3 at most 30 mm. With these boundary conditions, it is possible to all Weapons types in the Schartenturm 1 to integrate. It is in principle also possible, weapons types with even larger caliber of example 35 mm to integrate; but then there must be a restriction of the straightening range be accepted.

    Sollen andere Waffentypen mit kleinerem Kaliber in den Schartenturm intergiert werden, so ist es wie anhand einer in den Fig. 4 bis 6 dargestellten Ausführungsvariante beschrieben notwendig, zwischen die Schildzapfen und die Waffenaufnahme ein Adaptionsvorrichtung einzuschalten.Are other weapon types with smaller caliber integrated into the barn tower? are, as it is with reference to an embodiment variant shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 described necessary between the trunnions and the Arming an adaptation device turn on.

    Zu beiden Seiten der Bordmaschinenwaffe MW bzw. der Waffenaufnahme 5 sind innerhalb des Schartenturms 1 Munitionsmagazine, beispielsweise Trommelmagazine 7 und 8 angeordnet, von denen aus der Bordmaschinenwaffe MW die Munition zugeführt wird. Weiterhin sind innerhalb des Schartenturms 1 im Bereich seitlich hinter der Waffenaufnahme 5 auf der einen Seite ein Höhenrichtantrieb 9 und auf der anderen gegenüberliegenden Seite ein Seitenrichtantrieb 10 angeordnet.On both sides of the onboard weapon MW or the weapon mount 5 are within the Schartenturms 1 ammunition magazines, for example Drum magazines 7 and 8 are arranged, of which the on-board machine gun MW the ammunition is supplied. Furthermore, inside the Schartenturms 1 in the area laterally behind the weapon mount 5 on the one Side elevation drive 9 and on the other opposite side a side-facing drive 10 is arranged.

    An der einen Seitenwand des Schartenturms 1 ist außen ein Maschinengewehr MG angeordnet. Dies erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise an der Seite, an der innerhalb der Fahrzeugwanne FW der Waffenbediener WB sitzt. Bordmaschinenwaffe MW und Maschinengewehr MG sind über einen Flexballantrieb 25 in Bezug auf Elevation miteinander gekoppelt, so daß sie stets parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Das Munitionsmagazin 11 für das Maschinengewehr MG ist innerhalb des Schartenturms angeordnet.On one side wall of the Schartenturms 1 is outside a machine gun MG arranged. This is conveniently done on the side at the inside the vehicle pan FW the weapon operator WB sits. Board automatic weapon MW and machine gun MG are about a Flexballantrieb 25 in Reference to elevation coupled together so that they are always parallel to each other are aligned. The ammunition magazine 11 for the machine gun MG is located inside the Schartenturm.

    An der Rückseite des Schartenturms 1 befindet sich ein Rundblickperiskop 12, das wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, aus einer zurückgeklappten Ruhestellung in eine strichpunktiert dargestellte Ausblickstellung hochgeklappt werden kann.At the back of the Schartenturms 1 is a Rundblickperiskop 12, as indicated in Fig. 1, from a folded-back rest position into a dash-dotted outlook can be folded up.

    Unmittelbar unterhalb der Bordmaschinenwaffe ist eine Hülsen- und Gurtauffangvorrichtung 13 angeordnet. Wie aus Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich, sind die Plätze für den Waffenbediener WB und den Kommandanten KD in der Fahrzeugwanne FW im Bereich vor dem Schartenturm 1 zu beiden Seiten der Längsmittelachse LM1 der Fahrzeugwanne angeordnet. Über den beiden Plätzen befinden sich die Ein/Ausstiegsluken 14 und 15. Als Sichtgeräte für beide Plätze dienen Winkelspiegel 16 und 17 und es sind weitere Bedienungsgeräte 18 und 19 vorgesehen.
