Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for indirect fire sealing, by which a fastener is entrained in a support material under the action of propellants of an explosive charge through a flyweight mounted mobile in a cannon, between a firing position and a fixing position, and a buffer guide in which is mounted a ball brake, or retention, counterweight mechanism radial action on the flyweight.
  • the balls exert their action on the counterweight thanks to a spring of radial force constant, so that the ball retaining force that has to be overcome when the counterweight backs into the barrel is the same as that balls exert on the counterweight during the shootings.
  • the braking force of wedge effect shells is modulated based on the single displacement of the flyweight.
  • the brake shells are mounted against rubber elements which reduce their radial action.
  • the present application proposes a retention mechanism for more efficient flyweight and whose action is better dosed during the displacement of the counterweight.
  • the invention relates to an indirect fire sealing apparatus, by which a fastening element is driven in a support material under the action of propellant gases from an explosive charge by through a flyweight mounted mobile in a cannon, between a firing position and a fixing position, and a tampon guide in which a counterweight ball brake mechanism is mounted, exerting a radial action on the counterweight and comprising means arranged for modulate the radial action of the balls, as a function of the relative displacement of the barrel and the flyweight, between a maximum force, when the flyweight advance in the barrel, and a non-zero minimum force, when the flyweight backwards, device characterized by the fact that the balls are constrained radially by lever arms for clamping and modulating the action radial of the balls, pivotally mounted on the buffer guide under the action of marbles rolling on the arms.
  • the lever arms are also arranged to exert an axial force of return towards the rear on the balls, in case progress of these.
  • the balls are arranged to roll on the arms between arm end retaining fingers, opposite elbows pivoting lever arms, and a radial abutment edge of the buffer guide extending between the pivot elbows and the retaining fingers arms.
  • each lever arm is pivotally mounted against the action of an elastic ring.
  • each arm of lever decreases backwards.
  • the balls When the flyweight is pulled back into the barrel under the action of the return means, the balls continue to exert a force on the flyweight. When the device is opened, the flyweight is not likely to be entrained in a relative displacement of bad direction. We are sure that the counterweight remains held in position.
  • the balls are balls of braking and holding in position in the barrel.
  • the balls advance on the arms and, due to the shape of the latter, are re-propelled backwards, dragging with them the counterweight which is found in good shooting position.
  • the buffer guide is fixed relative to the barrel.
  • the invention can be applied to any type of device using balls for braking the flyweight, in particular devices in which the buffer guide is connected to the barrel by means of a spring and is therefore mobile relative to the barrel.
  • the sealing apparatus includes a counterweight 2 mounted mobile in a barrel 3 and a buffer guide 5, extending along an axis 20.
  • the counterweight 2 comprises a 2 "feeder head and a 2 'feeder rod.
  • the 2' rod is movable in the buffer guide 5 in which a cylindrical bore 5 ′ is provided of axis 20 and of diameter substantially equal to that of the flyweight rod 2 ' to drive it along the axis 20.
  • the 2 "flyweight head is movable in the barrel 3 in which a cylindrical bore 3 ′ with an axis 20 and of diameter substantially equal to that of the 2 "feeder head for the drive along the axis 20.
  • the flyweight 2 is movable between a position of shot, in which the rear of the flyweight head is close to a surface 10 'of the barrel perpendicular to the axis 20, according to the power setting, from so as to close off a combustion chamber 4, and a fixing position, in which the 2 "flyweight head has advanced in the barrel, in a position at most in front stop on a rear surface 10 of a shock absorber.
  • the ball mechanism 6 for holding counterweight 2 here comprises two balls 6, two clamping lever arms 7 and an elastic ring 8, here metallic.
  • the rod 8 consists of a ring which is split in order to allow the mounting of the mechanism and elasticity required.
  • Each arm 7 extends along the axis 20, and includes a pivot elbow 72 between a heel 74, bearing in a recess of the buffer guide 5, and a forearm here parallelepiped 75 which is sandwiched between the buffer guide 5 and the rod 8.
  • Each arm is extended, at the rear of the forearm 75, by a rear arm 76 providing an external shoulder 77 with the forearm 75, receiving of the rod 8, and whose inner surface 73 flares towards the rear.
  • the rear arm 76 ends with a retaining finger 71 substantially perpendicular to the axis 20, intended to retain the ball 6 on the counterweight 2.
  • the arms 7 are mounted on either side of the counterweight 2, opposite with respect to the axis 20 of the counterweight 2. Each ball 6 is wedged between the counterweight 2 and an associated arm 7.
  • Each inner surface of arm 73 in contact with ball 6 is here a cylinder portion inclined on the axis 20 of the counterweight 2.
  • the contact surface 73 between each arm 7 and its ball associated 6 has the shape of a gutter.
  • each ball 6 is arranged to roll on its lever arm 7 between the end retaining finger 71 of the arm 7, opposite the pivot elbow 72, and a radial abutment edge 11 of the pad guide 5, extending between the swivel bend 72 and the retainer 71 of the arm 7.
  • Each arm 7 is pivotally mounted against the action of the rod 8 and under the action of the associated ball 6 moving forward.
  • the flyweight 2 is initially in the firing position, so at the rear in the barrel 5, in abutment on the surface 10 ', completely sealing the combustion chamber 4.
  • the sealing device is pressed on the support in which we want to insert a buffer and, for reasons of security, firing is only possible once this support has been applied.
  • the action on the trigger causes the propellant charge to explode and the propellant expansion in the combustion chamber 4.
  • the propulsion of the flyweight 2 forwards in the barrel 3 is done against the action of the balls 6.
  • the balls 6 roll by friction on the counterweight 2 which drives them towards the front and the articulated arms 7 pivot on the buffer guide 5 to move away to each other at the level of their fingers 71.
  • the radial force exerted by the arm 7 on the balls 6 and therefore by the balls 6 on the counterweight 2 due to the increase in the angle formed between the arm 7, increases when the balls 6 advance on the arms 7, and therefore when passing from the firing position of the counterweight 2 in its fixing position.
  • the counterweight can advance against the action of the braking balls 6.
  • the balls 6 are then in abutment on the abutment surface 11 of the buffer guide, as seen in FIG. 2. Due to the opening of the arms 7, the braking force is better dosed and is exercised when necessary along the travel of the flyweight.
  • the flyweight 2 being in the fixing position, the device is opened to drive the barrel 3 forward, to access the chamber combustion and replace an explosive charge. In doing so, the flyweight 2, under the action of means of recall or ascent well known to those skilled in the art and therefore not shown in the drawing nor described here, back off relative to the barrel 3.
  • the balls 6 are quickly found in abutment on the retaining fingers 71 of the arms 7; the force exerted by the balls 6 on the flyweight 2 is then weak but not zero. It is therefore possible to train the barrel 3 forwards without much effort, while preventing the flyweight 2 to be dragged into a relative move in the wrong direction.
  • the device is then closed, that is to say that the barrel 3 is driven backwards. Under the action of the weights holding balls 6 2, the flyweight is driven with the barrel 3.
