Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of firing brakes for weapons.
  • Known brakes comprise a brake body delimiting a chamber for a brake fluid and a rod carrying a piston flowing in the chamber.
  • the rod is most often attached to the breech sleeve while the brake body is fixed to the fixed cradle of the weapon.
  • Patent FR2633710 describes such a type of firing brake.
  • the body of the firing brake according to the invention is integral with the recoil mass but its maintenance is nevertheless provided reliably, allowing many shots without failures or appearance of hydraulic leaks.
  • the invention relates to a firing brake for a weapon comprising a brake body delimiting a chamber for a brake fluid and a rod carrying a piston flowing in the chamber, brake in which the body is secured to a recoil mass of the weapon while the rod is fixed to a fixed cradle, brake characterized in that the brake body is slidably mounted relative to an intermediate flange integral with the cradle.
  • the intermediate flange may comprise at least one guide segment in contact with the brake body.
  • the guide segment or segments may be machined or reported on the intermediate flange.
  • the brake body may comprise a head cooperating on the one hand with a machining of the bolt sleeve and on the other hand with a half-flange fixed to the bolt sleeve.
  • This firing brake will be connected to a filler through a channel disposed inside the rod.
  • a weapon 1 comprises a cradle 4 relative to which slides a recoil mass formed by a yoke sleeve 2 secured to a tube 3 ( Figure 2).
  • the cradle is mounted by journals 5 on a platform not shown, for example a turret of armored vehicle.
  • the recoil mass is connected to the cradle 4 by one or more firing brakes 6 according to the invention (here two firing brakes) as well as by one or more recuperator 7 (here a recuperator) which make it possible to bring the recoil mass back into battery after the shot.
  • firing brakes 6 here two firing brakes
  • recuperator 7 here a recuperator
  • the recuperator comprises, in a conventional manner, a nitrogen chamber 7a enclosing a free piston (not visible).
  • This chamber is hydraulically connected to a jack 7b whose rod 7c is integral with the cylinder head sleeve 2 while the chamber 7a and the cylinder body 7b are integral with the cradle 4.
  • a filler 8 (shown schematically) is mechanically linked to the turret and is hydraulically connected to the firing brakes 6 (arrows R).
  • the firing brakes according to the invention each comprise a body 6a within which a rod 6b slides.
  • the brake body 6a has a head 9 which is fixed to the yoke sleeve 2 by a half-flange 10.
  • Figure 3 shows more precisely the structure of the brake 6.
  • the head 9 of the brake body 6a is a closure plug closing the body 6a.
  • machining 12 made on the breech sleeve 2.
  • the stepped profile 11 of the head 9 also cooperates also with the half-flange 10 which also includes appropriate internal machining.
  • the half-flange 10 is fixed to the bolt sleeve by screws 13.
  • the head 9 of the brake body 6a integrates firmly with the sleeve with minimal space.
  • the internal structure of the brake 6 is conventional.
  • the brake is here a fur brake having an inner liner 14.
  • the rod 6b carries at its inner end a piston head 15 sliding in the chamber defined by the body 6a.
  • a shock pad 16 is integral with the body 6a and it cooperates with an internal bore 17 of the rod 6b so as to dampen the end of the movement back to battery.
  • the rod 6b carries a head 20 which has a stepped profile formed of three distinct cylindrical diameters. This profile cooperates with two jaws 21a, 21b which are fixed by screws 22 to the cradle 4.
  • the brake body 6a is slidably mounted relative to an intermediate flange 23 which is integral with the cradle 4.
  • This intermediate flange defines a cylindrical surface ensuring a guiding of the brake body 6a during the recoil movement. It consists of two half-shells 23a, 23b fixed to the cradle by screws 25.
  • guide segments 24 housed in a recess machined on the inner surface of the intermediate flange 23.
  • the guide clearance is of the order of 0.1 mm.
  • the mass of a body brake is of the order of 70 kg, its diameter is of the order of 120 mm and its length of the order of 700 mm.
  • the inertia implemented during the retreat are therefore important and the radial vibrations could be considerable and destructive.
  • the mechanical connection remains provided by a single end flange 10 whose size is only slightly greater than that of the attachment of a usual brake rod.
  • the mechanical disturbances induced by the inertia are compensated by the intermediate guide flange 23.
  • each firing brake 6 is connected to the filler 8 through a channel 26 disposed inside the rod 6b.
  • This channel also carries a valve 27 pushed by a spring 28 and which prevents overpressure to reach the filler 8a.
  • Such a configuration makes it possible to connect the low pressure chamber of the brake according to the invention (chamber situated between the piston 15 and the shock buffer 16) to the filler 8 although this chamber is located on the side of the breeching sleeve 2.
  • the filler can be arranged on the fixed part of the weapon.
