Definitions

  • the invention relates to a barrel weapon, in which the weapon barrel connected to a base piece is slidably mounted in a cradle tube.
  • Such a gun is known for example from DE 31 48 265 A1. Doing so the weapon barrel is stored in two slide bush bearings, on the muzzle and on the bottom End of the cradle tube are arranged.
  • the disadvantage of such a known one Sliding bush bearing that the gun barrel, e.g. a tank cannon, due to the mass rests on the lower edge of the bearing and is characterized by the one that occurs when the shot is fired Pipe widening. This process then leads to vibrations of the gun barrel and has a negative impact on the exit error of the respective floor.
  • the invention is based on the object to specify a cradle tube slidably mounted gun, in which a lifting effect of Gun barrel is largely avoided and in the complex guide grooves in the Cradle tubes are not required as well as when changing tubes as with conventional ones Gun storage is possible.
  • the invention is essentially based on the idea of at least the weapon barrel to arrange a sliding bush bearing on the mouth side, but preferably also on the rear side, which comprises a barrel bushing in which the weapon barrel is arranged without a stroke effect and whose outer surfaces in the cradle tube slide in a form-fitting manner (i.e. with the least possible Play) are stored so that - unlike in the case of DE 39 36 454 A1 - one independently axial and radial sliding guidance of the weapon barrel acting from one another takes place.
  • the first pipe bushing remains on the Gun barrel and is dismantled with this.
  • the second pipe socket remains on the bottom piece guided centrally over its outside diameter in the cradle.
  • the tube bushing of the second sliding bush bearing has a length that is is chosen that the barrel bushing completely from the return of the gun barrel Cradle tube is pulled out, should be in the cradle tube on the mouth side in front of the rear Plain bush bearing arranged an additional sliding bush with a specified clearance which takes over the leadership of the gun barrel in this case.
  • the second slide bush bearing can also have a length that is selected in such a way that the tube bushing does not leave the cradle tube during the return and thus to an additional one Slide bushing can be dispensed with.
  • Fig. 1 denotes a barrel weapon, in which the weapon barrel 2 in a cradle barrel 3 a cradle 4 is mounted axially displaceable. For this, are on the muzzle side End of the cradle tube 3, a first sliding bush bearing 5 and at the bottom end of the cradle tube 3, a second sliding bush bearing 6 is arranged.
  • the first sliding bush bearing 5 comprises a tubular bushing 7 (FIGS. 2 and 3), the outer surface of which 8 is slidably mounted in the cradle tube 3, being between the tube bushing 7 and the Cradle tube 3 has the least possible clearance.
  • the tubular bushing 7 has on the inside four evenly distributed, groove-shaped recesses 9, in engage the four corresponding strip-shaped projections 10 fastened to the weapon barrel 2.
  • the second slide bush bearing 6 (FIG. 1) is constructed similarly to the first slide bush bearing 5 and also comprises a grooved barrel bushing guiding the weapon barrel 2 centrally 15. In this case, the pipe bushing 15 is screwed to a base piece 16.
  • the weapon barrel 2 widens the passage of the projectile through the gun barrel 2 and on the gun barrel 2 provided strip-shaped projections 10 move radially within of the groove-shaped recesses 9 in the tubular bushings 7 and 15. Due to the predetermined Play between gun barrel 2 and barrel bushings 7, 15, the barrel bushings 7, 15 undeformed and can with their slide-coated, to the inner diameter of the cradle least play provided outer surfaces 8 are moved axially without jamming within the cradle tube 3 is to be feared. Due to the even radial Displacement of the outer weapon barrel wall within the slide bush bearing remains the weapon barrel always guided centrically, so that there was no one during the projectile pass Lift effect with its negative effects on the hit behavior of the projectile can come.
  • the second slide bush bearing connected to the base piece 16 and the weapon barrel 2 6 runs back with these units when the weapon barrel returns, i.e. the second Pipe bushing 6 first leaves the cradle tube 3 and then at the advance of the weapon barrel 2 to be reinserted into the weighing tube 3 via an insertion bevel 18 (FIG. 1).
  • the weapon barrel 2 is guided after leaving the barrel sleeve 15 guided with little play taken from the sliding bush 17 in front of it.
  • Slide bushing 17 and weapon barrel 2 have a predetermined, relatively large play in order to securely thread the pipe bushing 15 to reach into the cradle tube 3 and jamming when expanding the tube to be avoided safely when passing through the storey.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a second embodiment corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3 a first sliding bush bearing 5 'with a tubular bushing 7'.
  • the four are strip-shaped projections 10 'are not attached directly to the weapon barrel 2', but to an inner ring 19 connected to the weapon barrel 2 'in a rotationally fixed and low-play manner Recesses in the tubular bushing 7 'are designated 9'.
  • Retaining ring 21 Between the inner ring 19 and a tubular shoulder designated 20 (Fig.5) sits Retaining ring 21.
  • the inner ring 19 and the retaining ring 21 are by means of a counter ring 22, which is screwed to the weapon barrel 2 'via a thread 23, held axially.
  • the Retaining ring 21 and the counter ring 22 form the axial limit for the tubular bushing 7 '.
  • two anti-rotation devices 24 prevent the pipe bushing 7 'from rotating the pipe axis 25.
  • FIG. 6 shows an enlarged, more detailed illustration of a second sliding bush bearing 6 ', which essentially corresponds to the first sliding bush bearing 5 'and in which the not shown strip-shaped projections also on a non-rotatable on the weapon barrel 2 ' arranged inner ring 19 'are attached.
