Derartige Pistolen sind bekannt (DE 39 11 804 C2, US 4,541,191). Da der piezoelektrische Sensor auch anderen mechanischen Impulsen ausgesetzt sein kann, beispielsweise beim Fallenlassen der Pistole oder beim Trockentraining infolge der Verschluss- oder Schlagbolzenbewegung bei einem simulierten Abschuss, ist die Schusszählung fehlerbehaftet. Um derartige Fehler zu verhindern, sind nach DE 40 22 038 C2 anstelle eines Sensors drei richtungs- und beschleunigungsabhängige Sensoren vorgesehen, und nach DE 44 17 545 A1 vor der Mündung mehrere Sensoren, um ein vorbei fliegendes Geschoss zu erfassen.Such pistols are known (DE 39 11 804 C2, US 4,541,191). Because the piezoelectric sensor also other mechanical Pulses may be exposed, for example when Dropping the gun or during dry training as a result the lock or striker movement in a simulated Shooting, the shot count is flawed. To such To prevent errors are to DE 40 22 038 C2 instead a sensor three direction and acceleration dependent Sensors provided, and according to DE 44 17 545 A1 in front of the mouth several sensors to detect a passing bullet.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Pistole mit geringem Aufwand mit einer zuverlässigen Einrichtung zur Schusszahlermittlung zu versehen.The object of the invention is to provide a pistol with little effort with a reliable device for determining the number of shots to provide.

Dies wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Pistole erreicht. In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wiedergegeben.This is achieved by the characterized in claim 1 gun. In the subclaims are advantageous embodiments reproduced the invention.

Nach der Erfindung weist die Einrichtung zur Ermittlung der Schusszahl einen piezoelektrischen erstem Sensor und einen zweiten Sensor auf. Während der piezoelektrische Sensor bei Aufnahme eines mechanischen Impulses ein erstes Signal an den Mikroprozessor abgibt, wird der zweite Sensor beaufschlagt, wenn der Schlitten beim Abschuss zurückgleitet. Das Zeitintervall zwischen dem ersten vom piezoelektrischen Sensor erzeugten Signal und dem zweiten vom zweiten Sensor erzeugten Signal wird vom Mikroprozessor mit dem abgelegten Zeitintervall zwischen dem ersten Signal durch den Rückstoßimpuls bei einem scharfen Schuss und dem zweiten Signal beim Zurückgleiten des Schlittens bei einem scharfen Schuss verglichen. Bei positivem Vergleich wird ein Zählimpuls an den Speicher abgegeben. Das Zeitintervall zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Signal liegt bei einem scharfen Schuss normalerweise bei einigen Millisekunden.According to the invention, the means for determining the Shot number a piezoelectric first sensor and a second sensor on. While the piezoelectric sensor at Recording a mechanical pulse, a first signal to the Microprocessor outputs, the second sensor is applied, when the sled slips back on launch. The time interval between the first generated by the piezoelectric sensor Signal and the second generated by the second sensor Signal is from the microprocessor with the stored time interval between the first signal by the recoil pulse a sharp shot and the second signal when sliding back of the sled compared to a sharp shot. at positive comparison, a count is delivered to the memory. The time interval between the first and the second Signal is usually at some with a sharp shot Milliseconds.

Zur Stromversorgung kann eine Batterie vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise dient die Stromversorgung ausschließlich dem Datenerhalt im Speicher und dem Betrieb der nachstehend noch erläuterten Echtzeituhr.For power supply, a battery may be provided. Preferably the power supply is used exclusively for data retention in the memory and the operation of the explained below Real-time clock.

Die übrige Elektronik, einschließlich des zweiten Sensors, wird demgegenüber nur bestromt, wenn der erste Sensor beaufschlagt worden ist. Das heißt, das erste Signal, das der piezoelektrische Sensor erzeugt, dient zugleich als Aufwecksignal für die Elektronik. Das Zeitintervall zum Aufwecken des Mikroprozessors und der damit verbundenen übrigen Elektronik beträgt normalerweise wenige Mikrosekunden.The rest of the electronics, including the second sensor, In contrast, only energized when the first sensor is applied has been. That is, the first signal that is the piezoelectric Sensor generates, at the same time serves as a wake-up signal for the electronics. The time interval to wake up the Microprocessor and the associated other electronics is usually a few microseconds.

Der piezoelektrische Sensor kann ein gegebenenfalls herkömmliches keramisches Piezoelement sein. Vorzugsweise wird er jedoch durch einen piezoelektrischen Polymer-Sensor oder Piezofilm-Sensor gebildet, bevorzugt aus Fluorpolymeren, insbesondere Polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF) und Copolymeren von PVDF. The piezoelectric sensor may be an optionally conventional one be ceramic piezoelectric element. Preferably he will however, by a piezoelectric polymer sensor or piezo film sensor formed, preferably of fluoropolymers, in particular Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and copolymers of PVDF.

Der Piezofilm-Sensor besteht aus einem Piezofilm-Stück oder -Plättchen; das auf beiden Seiten jeweils mit einer Elektrodenschicht, z. B. einer Metallschicht, wie Silber, versehen ist, die an den Mikroprozessor angeschlossen werden. Die Elektrodenschichten können jeweils außen mit einer Schutzschicht versehen sein.The piezo film sensor consists of a piezofilm piece or platelets; that on both sides each with an electrode layer, z. B. a metal layer, such as silver provided is that are connected to the microprocessor. The Electrode layers can each outside with a protective layer be provided.

Der Piezofilm-Sensor kann an einer beliebigen Stelle des Griffstücks befestigt sein, da sich praktisch das gesamte Griffstück durch den Rückstoßimpuls beim Abschuss verformt. Vorzugsweise ist der Piezofilm-Sensor jedoch an einer Print-Platte, also Platine mit gedruckter Schaltung angeordnet, die auch die Elektronik aufnimmt.The piezo film sensor can be placed anywhere on the Grip be attached, since virtually the entire Grip deformed by the recoil impulse at launch. Preferably, however, the piezoelectric film sensor is on a print plate, So printed circuit board arranged, the also picks up the electronics.

Die Platine ist vorzugsweise in dem Abschnitt des Griffstücks zwischen dem Abzug und der Laufmündung unter dem Schlitten angeordnet. Der Piezofilm-Sensor kann dann auf der von dem Schlitten abgewandten Seite der Platine angeordnet sein.The board is preferably in the section of the handle between the trigger and the muzzle below the slide arranged. The piezo film sensor can then on the of the Can be arranged carriage side facing away from the board.

Die Platine ist vorzugsweise als Mehrlagenplatine (Multilayer-Print-Platte) ausgebildet. Der Piezofilm-Sensor kann auch zwischen zwei Lagen der Platine angeordnet sein.The board is preferably as a multilayer board (multilayer print plate) educated. The piezo film sensor can also be arranged between two layers of the board.

Der zweite Sensor kann in unterschiedlicher Weise ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise kann er ebenfalls durch einen piezoelektrischen Sensor, insbesondere einen Piezofilm-Sensor gebildet werden, der vom Schlitten verformt wird, wenn dieser beim Abschuss zurückgleitet. Dazu kann der Schlitten beispielsweise eine Nase oder dergleichen Vorsprung aufweisen, der den Piezosensor betätigt, wenn der Schlitten zurückgleitet. Ferner kann an dem Schlitten ein Permanentmagnet angeordnet sein, wenn der zweite Sensor durch eine Induktionsspule gebildet wird. The second sensor can be designed in different ways his. For example, it can also be replaced by a piezoelectric Sensor, in particular a piezo film sensor formed that will be deformed by the sled if this one slips back at launch. For this purpose, the slide, for example have a nose or similar projection, which operates the piezo sensor when the carriage slides back. Furthermore, a permanent magnet can be arranged on the carriage be when the second sensor through an induction coil is formed.

Vorzugsweise ist jedoch der zweite Sensor als Spule ausgebildet, die von einem Frequenzgenerator bestromt wird. Da der Schlitten aus Metall besteht, bedämpft er die Sensorspule, wenn er sich mit einem Abschnitt beim Zurückgleiten nahe an der Spule vorbeibewegt.Preferably, however, the second sensor is designed as a coil, which is energized by a frequency generator. Since the Slide is made of metal, it dampens the sensor coil, if he approaches with a section when sliding back the coil moved past.

Die durch Bedämpfung herabgesetzte Schwingungsamplitude wird als Signal an den Mikroprozessor abgegeben. Der sich an der Sensorspule vorbeibewegende Abschnitt des Schlittens kann beispielsweise die vordere Stirnwand des Schlittens sein. Die Sensorspule ist gleichfalls bevorzugt an der Platine angeordnet, und zwar an der dem Schlitten zugewandten Seite, um eine möglichst starke Bedämpfung zu erzielen.The vibration amplitude reduced by damping becomes delivered as a signal to the microprocessor. The at the Sensor coil passing section of the carriage can for example, be the front end wall of the carriage. The Sensor coil is also preferably arranged on the circuit board, on the side facing the carriage, around one To achieve the strongest possible damping.

Um neben der Anzahl der Schüsse auch den Zeitpunkt der Schussabgabe feststellen zu können, ist auf der Platine zudem eine Echtzeituhr vorgesehen. Damit dient die Pistole zur Ereignisaufzeichnung, da zu jedem abgegebenen Schuss in dem Speicher mit der Echtzeituhr der Zeitpunkt der Schussabgabe aufgezeichnet wird.In addition to the number of shots also the time of Firing on the board is also on the board a real time clock provided. The pistol is used for event recording, there to every delivered shot in the Memory with the real time clock the time of firing is recorded.

Das Auslesen des Speichers im Griffstück kann über ein Kabel oder Kontakte erfolgen. Vorzugsweise erfolgt das Auslesen jedoch berührungslos, zumal das Griffstück aus Kunststoff besteht. Dadurch kann nämlich ein RF-Sender in dem Griffstück vorgesehen werden, der mit einem RF-Empfänger als Lesegerät außerhalb der Pistole kommuniziert. Damit der Mikroprozessor von außen programmierbar ist und in den Speicher Daten eingelesen werden können, ist der RF-Sender im Griffstück zugleich als RF-Empfänger ausgelegt. The reading of the memory in the handle can via a cable or contacts made. Preferably, however, the readout takes place Non-contact, especially since the handle is made of plastic. This can namely an RF transmitter in the handle be provided with an RF receiver as a reader communicated outside the gun. So that the microprocessor from the outside is programmable and read into the memory data can be, the RF transmitter is in the grip at the same time designed as an RF receiver.

Der RF-Sender und gegebenenfalls -Empfänger im Griffstück ist vorzugsweise auf der Platine angeordnet, desgleichen seine Antenne, die vorzugsweise als Antennenspule ausgebildet und an der vom Schlitten abgewandten Seite der Platine angeordnet ist.The RF transmitter and possibly receiver in the handle is preferably arranged on the board, likewise its Antenna, which is preferably designed as an antenna coil and arranged on the side facing away from the carriage side of the board is.

Das Lesegerät kann als Handlesegerät ausgebildet sein. Auch kann es einen Anschluss an einen PC oder Laptop aufweisen.The reader can be designed as a handheld reader. Also It can have a connection to a PC or laptop.

Die Einrichtung zur Schusszahlermittlung kann zudem zur Ermittlung weiterer Kenndaten der Pistole ausgebildet sein. Diese Kenndaten können z. B. Daten zur Identifikation und/oder Daten über den Besitzer der Pistole sein, die in dem Speicher abgelegt worden sind.The establishment of the shot number determination can also be used to determine be formed further characteristics of the gun. These characteristics can z. B. Data for identification and / or data about the owner of the pistol that is in the Memory have been stored.

Zum Programmieren und Einlesen dieser Kenndaten wird ein Codier- oder Schreibgerät außerhalb der Pistole verwendet. Das Schreibgerät kann ein RF-Sender sein, der an einen PC oder Laptop angeschlossen ist. Auch kann das Schreibgerät zugleich als Lesegerät ausgebildet sein.To program and read in these characteristics, a coding or writing instrument used outside the gun. The Writing instrument can be an RF transmitter connected to a PC or Laptop is connected. Also, the writing instrument at the same time be designed as a reading device.

Die Daten zur Identifikation der Pistole können beispielsweise die Nummer der Waffe sein, die auch an der Waffe angebracht ist, ferner beispielsweise der Produktionszeitpunkt der Pistole, deren Chargennummer usw. Dazu kann an der Produktionsstätte ein Schreibgerät installiert sein.For example, the data for identifying the gun can be the number of the weapon, which also attached to the weapon is, furthermore, for example, the production time the gun, its lot number, etc. This can be done at the production facility a writing instrument installed.

Ferner kann in dem Speicher der Name des rechtmäßigen Besitzers der Waffe abgelegt sein. Der Name kann beispielsweise von dem Waffenverkäufer, einer Behörde oder dergleichen Institution in den Speicher mit einem Schreibgerät beim Kauf der Pistole eingelesen werden, ebenso der neue Name bei einem Besitzerwechsel. Further, in the memory, the name of the rightful owner the weapon be filed.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist die Pistole ein Griffstück 1 und einen Schlitten 2 auf, der mittels einer Nut/Federführung 3 (Fig. 2) am Griffstück 1 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Das Griffstück 1 besteht aus Kunststoff.1, the gun has a handle 1 and a Carriage 2, which by means of a groove / spring guide 3 (Fig. 2) is arranged displaceably on the handle 1. The handle 1 is made of plastic.

In dem Schlitten 2 ist der Lauf 4 enthalten, der feststehend, also griffstückfest ausgebildet ist. Der Schlitten 2 ist mit einer Stirnwand 5 versehen, die als Federteller für eine Rückholfeder 6 dient, deren anderes Ende sich bei 7 an dem Griffstück 1 abstützt.In the carriage 2, the barrel 4 is included, the fixed, so handle piece is designed. The carriage 2 is with an end wall 5 provided as a spring plate for a Return spring 6 is used, the other end is at 7 at the Grip 1 supported.

In dem Abschnitt 8 des Griffstücks 1, der sich zwischen dem Abzug 9 und der Mündung 11 des Laufs 4 unter dem Schlitten 2 erstreckt, ist eine Ausnehmung 12 vorgesehen, die eine Platine 13 aufnimmt, die in Fig. 3 bis 5 näher dargestellt ist.In the section 8 of the handle 1, located between the Trigger 9 and the mouth 11 of the barrel 4 under the carriage. 2 extends, a recess 12 is provided, which is a circuit board 13 receives, which is shown in more detail in Fig. 3 to 5.

Die als Print-Platte ausgebildete Platine 13 weist danach einen Mikroprozessor 14 auf, der einen nichtflüchtigen Speicher, beispielsweise einen EEPROM-Speicher als Programmspeicher, Zähler und Ereignisspeicher enthält. Zur Stromversorgung ist eine Batterie 15 vorgesehen. Zudem ist die Platine 13 mit einer Echtzeituhr 16, einem oder mehreren Piezofilm-Sensor 17, einer Sensorspule 18 und einem RF-Sende- und Empfangsteil 19 mit Antennenspule 20 versehen.The designed as a print plate board 13 then has a Microprocessor 14 having a nonvolatile memory, for example, an EEPROM memory as program memory, Contains counter and event memory. To the power supply a battery 15 is provided. In addition, the board 13 with a real time clock 16, one or more piezo film sensor 17, a sensor coil 18 and an RF transmitting and receiving part 19 provided with antenna coil 20.

Während die Batterie 15 mit der Sensorspule 18 auf der einen, dem Schlitten 2 zugewandten Seite der Platine 13 angeordnet sind, ist die Antennenspule 20 auf der anderen Seite angeordnet. Die Antennenspule 20 umschließt den Piezofilm-Sensor 17. Der Mikroprozessor 14, die Echtzeituhr 16 und das RF-Teil 19 sind unterhalb dem Piezofilm-Sensor 17 angeordnet, der in Fig. 4 gestrichelt dargestellt ist.While the battery 15 with the sensor coil 18 on the one, the carriage 2 facing side of the board 13 is arranged are, the antenna coil 20 is arranged on the other side. The antenna coil 20 encloses the piezoelectric film sensor 17. The microprocessor 14, the real-time clock 16 and the RF part 19 are arranged below the piezofilm sensor 17, which in Fig. 4 is shown by dashed lines.

Der Piezofilm-Sensor 17 ist über die Platine 13 mit dem Mikroprozessor 14 verbunden. Wenn der Piezofilm-Sensor 17 beim Abschuss den Rückstoßimpuls aufnimmt und sich verformt, gibt er ein Signal an den Mikroprozessor 14 ab.The piezo film sensor 17 is on the circuit board 13 with the microprocessor 14 connected. When the piezoelectric film sensor 17 at Launch absorbs the recoil pulse and deforms he sends a signal to the microprocessor 14.

Die Sensorspule 18 wird von einem Frequenzgenerator in dem Elektronikmodul 14 bestromt. Wenn beim Abschuss der Schlitten 2 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 6 in Richtung des Pfeiles 21 zurückgleitet, bewegt sich die Stirnwand 5 über die Sensorspule 18 hinweg, wodurch die Spule 18 bedämpft wird. Das erzeugte Bedämpfungssignal wird an den Mikroprozessor 14 abgegeben, mit dem die Sensor-Spule 18 über die Platine 13 verbunden ist.The sensor coil 18 is controlled by a frequency generator in the Electronic module 14 energized. When shooting down the sled 2 against the force of the spring 6 in the direction of arrow 21st slides back, the end wall 5 moves over the sensor coil 18 away, whereby the coil 18 is attenuated. The generated Damping signal is delivered to the microprocessor 14, with which the sensor coil 18 is connected via the circuit board 13 is.

Wenn das Zeitintervall zwischen dem ersten Signal, das der Piezofilm-Sensor 17 beim Abschuss erzeugt, und dem zweiten Signal, also dem Bedämpfungssignal, das die Sensorspule 18 erzeugt, dem Zeitintervall entspricht, das bei einem scharfen Schuss zwischen Abschuss und Vorbeigleiten der Stirnwand 5 an der Sensorspule 18 liegt, gibt der Mikroprozessor 14 einen Zählimpuls an den Speicher ab.If the time interval between the first signal, the Piezofilm sensor 17 generated when shooting, and the second Signal, so the damping signal that the sensor coil 18th generates, corresponding to the time interval, that at a sharp Shot between launch and past the end wall 5 on the sensor coil 18 is located, the microprocessor 14 is a Count off to the memory.

Die Batterie 15 dient ausschließlich der Stromversorgung zur Schusszählung und im Sleep-Mode nur zur Stromversorgung der Echtzeituhr 16 und dem Datenerhalt im Speicher. Die übrigen elektronischen Komponenten, einschließlich des Mikroprozessors 14, dem RF-Teil 19 und der Sensorenspule 8 befinden sich demgegenüber im "sleep mode", also im inaktiven Zustand. Das heißt, sie werden nur bestromt, wenn ein Schuss ausgelöst wird, und damit der Piezofilm-Sensor 17 ein Signal an den Mikroprozessor 14 abgibt. Das Signal des Piezofilm-Sensors 17 stellt damit zugleich das Aufwecksignal für die Elektronik dar.The battery 15 is used exclusively for the power supply Shot count and in sleep mode only to power the Real-time clock 16 and data retention in memory. The remaining electronic components, including the microprocessor 14, the RF part 19 and the sensor coil 8 are located in contrast, in "sleep mode", ie inactive state. The means they are only energized when a shot is fired is, and thus the piezoelectric film sensor 17 a signal to the Microprocessor 14 outputs. The signal of the piezo film sensor 17 thus also provides the wake-up signal for the electronics represents.

Wie in Fig. 5 gestrichelt dargestellt, ist die Platine 13 einschließlich aller daran angeordneten Komponenten in einem Block 22 aus Kunststoff eingegossen.As shown in phantom in FIG. 5, the circuit board 13 including all components arranged in one Block 22 cast in plastic.
