Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verriegelung zum Halten sowie zur kontrollierten, insbesondere manuellen Entnahme und/ oder Zuführung einer Munition in eine Munitionskette eines Munitionsmagazins.The invention relates to a lock for holding and for the controlled, in particular manual removal and / or supply of ammunition in an ammunition chain of an ammunition magazine.

Aus der DE 44 42 590 A1 ist ein Munitionsmagazin bekannt, dem Granaten entnehmbar und einer Waffe zuführbar sind. Das Entnehmen und Zuführen erfolgt über einen Geschossladearm, der die Granate durch vertikales Schwenken einer Ansetzvorrichtung zuführt. Das Magazin weist dazu mehrere übereinander angeordnete Fächer auf, in denen jeweils mehrere Granaten nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Das Verschieben der Granate erfolgt in Querrichtung. Derartige Transportvorrichtungen sind Bauraum aufwendig. Daher wird großkalibrige Munition in Fahrzeugen häufig von Hand einzeln in ein Magazin eingebracht bzw. diesem wieder entnommen. Derartige Geschosse, wie u.a. Mörsergranaten, weisen aber ein Eigengewicht von bis zu 15 kg auf.From DE 44 42 590 A1 an ammunition magazine is known, the grenades are removable and a weapon can be fed. The removal and feeding takes place via a projectile loading arm, which supplies the grenade by vertical pivoting of a piecing device. The magazine has for this purpose a plurality of superposed compartments, in each of which several grenades are arranged side by side. The grenade is moved in the transverse direction. Such transport devices are space consuming. Therefore, large caliber ammunition in vehicles is often introduced by hand individually in a magazine or this removed again. Such projectiles, such as u.a. Mortar shells, but have a net weight of up to 15 kg.

Die DE 41 26 199 A1 beschreibt einen Munitionsbehälter für großkalibrige Munition, die in einem umlaufenden Magazinband zusammengefügt werden können, bei denen die Entnahme bzw. Zuführung der Munition im Wesentlichen an beliebigen Positionen des Magazinbandes nach außen hin vorgenommen werden kann. Ein zweistufiger Bewegungsablauf wird mit Hilfe eines Exzenterhebels bewirkt, dessen Drehachse mit der Längsachse des Munitionsbehälters übereinstimmt. Diese Mimik dient dazu, die beiden, die Munition umschließenden Schalen zu schließen oder zu öffnen. Eine der beiden Schalen ist beweglich auf dem Exzenter des Exzenterhebels und frei drehbar angeordnet, so dass nach dem Lösen des Haltemechanismus bei Weiterdrehung des Exzenterhebels eine Bewegung der bewegbaren Schale in Richtung Munition erfolgt. Dieses Weiterdrehen erfolgt automatisch durch eine vorgespannte Torsionsfeder.DE 41 26 199 A1 describes an ammunition container for large-caliber ammunition, which can be assembled in a revolving magazine belt, in which the removal or supply of the ammunition can be made substantially at any position of the magazine tape to the outside. A two-stage movement is effected by means of an eccentric lever whose axis of rotation coincides with the longitudinal axis of the ammunition container. This facial expression is used to close or open the two cups surrounding the ammunition. One of the two shells is movably disposed on the eccentric of the eccentric lever and freely rotatable, so that after the release of the holding mechanism upon further rotation of the eccentric lever, a movement of the movable shell in the direction Ammunition takes place. This further rotation takes place automatically by a prestressed torsion spring.

In der DE 195 14 780 A1 ist ein Munitionsmagazin zur Aufnahme einer Vielzahl von Geschossen beschrieben. Um die Geschosse in einfacher und schneller Weise in das Magazin ein- bzw. auszuschleusen, weist eine äußere Führungswand eine mit zumindest einer Klappe verschließbare Öffnung auf.In DE 195 14 780 A1 an ammunition magazine for receiving a plurality of projectiles is described. In order to introduce the projectiles into the magazine in a simple and fast manner, an outer guide wall has an opening which can be closed with at least one flap.

Die DE 197 38 418 A1 beschäftigt sich mit einem Munitionsmagazin für großkalibrige Munition. Um bei einem Munitionsmagazin ohne Fremdantrieb zu erreichen, dass die Munition dem Magazin schnell entnommen werden kann, wird vorgeschlagen, die einzelnen Munitionskörper mit Hilfe von Halterungen auf Kettengliedern einer rückensteifen Kette anzuordnen. Die Munition wird dann durch Herausziehen der Kette schnell entnommen, da sich die einzelnen Kettenglieder zur Rückseite der Kette verschwenken und die Munition somit freigeben. Durch Zurückschieben der Kette kann die Munition wieder verstaut werden. Insbesondere die Lagerung der Kettenglieder auf Rollen birgt kritische Situationen bei der Handhabung der Munitionsbefüllung / - entnahme.DE 197 38 418 A1 deals with an ammunition magazine for large-caliber ammunition. In order to achieve an ammunition magazine without external drive that the ammunition can be quickly removed from the magazine, it is proposed to arrange the individual ammunition body by means of brackets on chain links of a back-rigid chain. The ammunition is then removed quickly by pulling out the chain, since the individual chain links pivot to the back of the chain and thus release the ammunition. By pushing back the chain, the ammunition can be stowed again. In particular, the storage of the chain links on rollers involves critical situations in handling the Munitionsbefüllung / - removal.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung aufzuzeigen, die ein einfaches und kontrolliertes Befüllen / Entnehmen der Munition im Munitionsmagazin gewährleistet.Based on this prior art, the invention has the object to provide a device that ensures a simple and controlled filling / removal of the ammunition in the ammunition magazine.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.

Unter dem Gesichtspunkt, dass großkalibrige Munition aufzunehmende Magazine zwar einen großen Bauraum benötigen, in sich aber mehr als platzsparend aufzubauen sind, liegt der Erfindung die Idee zugrunde, an jeder der Geschossreihen bzw. der Geschossfächer des Magazins eine federbelastete Vorrichtung als Verriegelung für eine Munitionskette vorzusehen, die, klein und einfach aufgebaut, ein manuelles Lösen und Takten zur weiteren Geschossentnahme realisiert und eine leichte Handhabung der Geschosszufuhr schafft. Diese Verriegelung hält die Kette in einer Be-oder Entladeposition fest und sichert sie ab. Dem Ladeschützen stehen zwei freie Hände zur Verfügung, um die Kette zu bestücken. Vorgesehen ist dabei ein automatisches Einfallen der Vorrichtung nach jeder Taktung. Diese Verriegelungs- und Steuerungselemente sind so gestaltet, dass sie nur ein Minimum an Einbauraum und Masse beanspruchen. Ein vorzugsweise textiler Handgriff am jeweils 1. Kettenglied ermöglicht das manuelle Einbringen und Herausziehen der Munitionskette.From the viewpoint that large-caliber ammunition to be taken magazines need a large amount of space, but are more than to save space, the invention is based on the idea to provide a spring-loaded device as a lock for a ammunition chain on each of the rows of storeys and the bullet slots of the magazine , which, small and simple in design, realizes a manual release and clocks for further bullet removal and easy handling the bullet feed creates. This lock holds the chain in a loading or unloading position and secures it. The loader has two free hands to populate the chain. Provided is an automatic collapse of the device after each clocking. These locking and control elements are designed so that they require only a minimum of installation space and mass. A preferably textile handle on each 1st chain link allows manual insertion and removal of the ammunition chain.

Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass bei beispielsweise 120 mm Geschossen vertikal nur ein Abstand von ca. 125 mm und horizontal von 140 mm von Geschossmitte zu Geschossmitte für die Vorrichtung zur Verfügung steht.It is considered that, for example, 120 mm projectiles vertically only a distance of about 125 mm and horizontal of 140 mm from the center of the floor to the center of the floor is available for the device.

In vorteilhafter Art und Weise wird mittels der Vorrichtung ein sicheres Halten der Munitionskette im Magazin auch bei einer Fehlfunktion der Verriegelungselemente gewährleistet. Ein zusätzliches Halten der Kette im Magazin durch Geschossklappen bei nicht beabsichtigter Lösung der Vorrichtung erhöht die Sicherheit am Magazin.In an advantageous manner, a secure holding of the ammunition chain in the magazine is ensured even with a malfunction of the locking elements by means of the device. Additional retention of the chain in the magazine by means of projectile flaps in the event of an unintentional release of the device increases the security on the magazine.

In Fig. 1 ist ein mit 1 bezeichnetes Munitionsmagazin skizzenhaft dargestellt und kann als Wannenmagazin bezeichnet werden. Es weist ein Magazingestell 2 auf, an welchem beidseitig jeweils eine seitliche Abdeckung 3 angebracht ist. An den Abdeckungen 3 ist in dieser Ausführung am unteren Teil eine Konsole 4 vorgesehen, die zumindest an der vorderen Konsole 4 vorzugsweise zwei obere Halterungen 5 für ein nicht näher dargestelltes Zusatzmagazin aufweist. Mit 7 sind Geschossreihen- bzw.In Fig. 1, a designated with 1 ammunition magazine is sketchy and can be referred to as a tub magazine. It has a magazine rack 2 on which a lateral cover 3 is attached on both sides. On the covers 3, a console 4 is provided in this embodiment at the lower part, which has at least on the front console 4 preferably two upper brackets 5 for an unspecified additional magazine. With 7 are Geschoßreihen- or

Geschossfach- und Klappenverriegelungen (Verriegelung 7) je Geschossreihe bzw. - fach 6 gekennzeichnet. Die Geschossfächer 6 sind nach vorne begrenzt durch Geschossfachklappen 8.Multi-storey compartment and flap locks (interlock 7) are marked on each floor row or shelf 6. The projectile compartments 6 are bounded to the front by projectile compartment flaps 8.

Mit dem Magazingestell 2 verbunden sind des Weiteren Schienen 9 sowie Längsträger 10. Die Schienen 9 besitzen am hinteren Ende Anbindungen bzw. Mittel 12 zur Verbindung dieser Schienen 9 mit der Seitenwand 13 eines nicht näher dargestellten Fahrzeugs / Panzers etc. Am Magazingestell 2 sind weitere Anbindungen 14 zur Befestigung beispielsweise am Dach des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen.The rails 9 have at the rear end connections or means 12 for connecting these rails 9 with the side wall 13 of a not shown vehicle / tank, etc. At the magazine rack 2 are more connections 14 for attachment, for example, provided on the roof of the vehicle.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt einen der Längsträger 10 mit seinen Anbauteilen. Rechts und links vom Längsträger sind Halter 15 vorzugsweise mittels Schraubung befestigt, die weitere Funktionselemente, wie Teile der Verriegelung 7, aufnehmen. Eine Sperrklinke 16 dient als Steuerelement für einen Sperrhebel 34 für eine später näher beschriebene Munitions- bzw. Geschosskette 21. Die Betätigung der Sperrklinke 16 erfolgt über einen Steuerbolzen 31 an der Geschosskette 21 (wird noch ausgeführt). Die Geschossfachklappe 8 ist auf einem Betätigungsgestänge 18 gelagert und wird über Magazinklappenverriegelungen 17 verriegelt. Mit 30 ist ein Unterstellhebel gekennzeichnet, dessen Funktion im Zusammenhang mit der Geschossentnahme bzw. Geschossbestückung noch näher beschrieben wird.3 shows one of the longitudinal members 10 with its attachments. Right and left of the longitudinal member holder 15 are preferably fastened by means of screwing, the other functional elements, such as parts of the latch 7, record. A pawl 16 serves as a control for a locking lever 34 for an ammunition or projectile chain 21 described in more detail below. The actuation of the pawl 16 takes place via a control bolt 31 on the projectile chain 21 (to be described). The projectile compartment flap 8 is mounted on an actuating linkage 18 and is locked by means of magazine latch locks 17. At 30, a lower lever is marked, whose function is described in more detail in connection with the bullet removal or bullet placement.

Fig. 4 zeigt in einer Auszugsdarstellung die Belegung der Geschossfächer 6 mit in einer Munitionskette 21 befindlichen Munition 20 (hier nicht dargestellt). Die Munitionskette 21 besteht aus mehreren Kettengliedern 22 und Geschosshalterungen 27, die über Ösen 29 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Munitionskette 21 ist auf den Schienen 9 einer Ebene in Richtung ihrer Längsachse horizontal verschiebbar angeordnet.FIG. 4 shows in a detail view the occupancy of the projectile compartments 6 with ammunition 20 located in an ammunition chain 21 (not shown here). The ammunition chain 21 consists of several chain links 22 and floor brackets 27, which are connected to each other via eyelets 29. The ammunition chain 21 is arranged horizontally displaceable on the rails 9 of a plane in the direction of its longitudinal axis.

Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte rückensteife Munitionskette 21 besteht, wie bereits beschrieben, aus miteinander verbunden Kettengliedern 22, an denen die Geschosshalterungen 27 befestigt oder mit diesen einteilig ausgeführt sind, die mittig voneinander trennbar sind. Die schalenartigen, trennbaren Geschosshalterungen 27 können im hinteren Teil (in Fig. vorne) mit einem Geschosshalterungsadapter 23 ergänzt werden. Am auf den Schienen 9 aufliegenden Teil der Kettenglieder 22 sind Kunst-Kunststoffflächen 24 vorgesehen, die eine mechanische Dämpfung und Gleitfähigkeit zum Gestell 2, insbesondere zu den Schienen 9 bewirken. Für eine Dämpfung zum Geschoss 20 können Dämpfungselemente 25 auch am Adapter 23 angebracht werden.The back-end ammunition chain 21 shown in FIG. 5 consists, as already described, of chain links 22 connected to one another, on which the projectile supports 27 are fastened or integral therewith, which are separable centrally from one another. The shell-like separable projectile supports 27 can be supplemented in the rear part (in front with a projectile mounting adapter 23). On resting on the rails 9 part of the chain links 22 are synthetic-plastic surfaces 24 provided, which cause a mechanical damping and slidability to the frame 2, in particular to the rails 9. For damping to the projectile 20 damping elements 25 can also be attached to the adapter 23.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Hälfte der Geschosshalterung 27 mit einem Kettenstopper 33 (Gleitstein) sowie den Dämpfungselementen 25.6 shows one half of the projectile holder 27 with a chain stopper 33 (sliding block) and the damping elements 25.

Fig. 7 zeigt die Munitionskette 21 mit dem Steuerbolzen 31.FIG. 7 shows the ammunition chain 21 with the control bolt 31.

Anhand der Fig. 8 soll die Funktionsweise der Verriegelung bei Geschossentnahme näher erläutert werden.Based on the Fig. 8, the operation of the lock at projectile removal will be explained in more detail.

Die Verriegelung besteht im Wesentlichen aus der Sperrklinke 16, dem Unterstellhebel 30 (für die Sperrklinke 16), dem federbelasteten Sperrhebel 34 sowie dem an der Geschosshalterung 27 befindlichen Kettenstopper 33 im Zusammenwirken mit dem Steuerbolzen 31.The lock consists essentially of the pawl 16, the Unterstellhebel 30 (for the pawl 16), the spring-loaded locking lever 34 and located on the floor bracket 27 chainstopper 33 in cooperation with the control bolt 31st

Für die Entnahme eines Geschosses 20 wird in der Regel rechts und links jeweils die Magazinklappenverriegelung 17 geöffnet. Durch Betätigung öffnet sich die Geschossfachklappe 8 (hier nicht näher dargestellt) um ca. 30° und kann dann anschließend um 180° gedreht werden, so dass sie sich beispielsweise an der darunterliegenden Geschossfachklappe 8 abstützen kann. Durch Ziehen des Unterstellhebels 30 wird der Sperrhebel 34 in eine Stellung gebracht, die es ermöglicht, die Geschosskette mit Steuerbolzen 31 aus dem Magazin zu ziehen.
Durch Ziehen des Unterstellhebels 30 der Klappenverriegelung 7 um ca. 20° wird über Federkraft die Sperrklinke 16 nach unten gedrückt und hält somit den Unterstellhebel 30 in einer senkrechten Position (nicht extra dargestellt). Mit dem an der Munitionskette 21 befindlichen Handgriff (nicht näher dargestellt) kann nun die Munitionskette 21 gezogen werden. Über den am Kettenglied 22 befindlichen Steuerbolzen 31 wird dann an einer nicht näher dargestellten Auslaufschräge die Sperrklinke 16 angehoben, wobei der Unterstellhebel 30 bestrebt ist, in die Ausgangsstellung zurück zu gehen. Nachdem sich die Geschossmitte M in etwa über dem Sperrhebel 34 befindet, bewegt sich der Unterhebel 30 in seine Ausgangsposition. Der Steuerbolzen 31 der Geschosskette 21 hebt zeitgleich über die schiefe Ebene die Sperrklinke 16 so an, dass der Sperrhebel 34 durch Federkraft wieder in Ausgangsstellung zurückgeführt wird. Die Munitionskette 21 wird über das an der gegenüberliegenden Geschosshalterung 27 befindliche Haltestück bzw. Kettenstopper 33 gestoppt und sicher gehalten. Die Geschosskette 21 ist nun wieder arretiert.For the removal of a projectile 20 is usually right and left each of the magazine latch lock 17 is opened. By operation, the bullet compartment door 8 opens (not shown here) by about 30 ° and can then be rotated by 180 °, so that it can be supported for example on the underlying projectile compartment door 8. By pulling the Unterstellhebels 30 of the locking lever 34 is brought into a position which makes it possible to pull the projectile chain with control pin 31 from the magazine.
By pulling the Unterstellhebels 30 of the flap lock 7 by about 20 ° is pressed by spring force, the pawl 16 down and thus holds the lower lever 30 in a vertical position (not shown). With the located on the ammunition chain 21 handle (not shown) now the ammunition chain 21 can be pulled. About the chain link 22 located on the control pin 31, the pawl 16 is then raised at an outlet slope, not shown, wherein the lower lever 30 endeavors to go back to the starting position. After the bullet center M is located approximately above the locking lever 34, the lower lever 30 moves to its original position. The control bolt 31 of the projectile chain 21 raises the same time on the inclined plane, the pawl 16 so that the locking lever 34 is returned by spring force back into the starting position. The ammunition chain 21 is stopped and held securely by means of the holding piece or chain stopper 33 located on the opposite projectile holder 27. The projectile chain 21 is now locked again.

Zur Entnahme wird nunmehr das Geschoss 20 durch Öffnen der Geschosshalterung 27 um 90° gedreht und liegt somit frei vor dem in der Regel sitzenden Ladeschützen. Für eine weitere Entnahme wird die Munitionskette 21 erneut gezogen, wobei sich der vorgenannte Ablauf wiederholt.For removal, the projectile 20 is now rotated by opening the projectile holder 27 by 90 ° and is thus free from the normally seated loader. For a further removal, the ammunition chain 21 is pulled again, whereby the above procedure is repeated.

Je nach Feuerkommando wird das Geschoss 20 aus der Geschosshalterung 27 entnommen und in bekannter Art und Weise in das Bereitschaftsmagazin gebracht, die Zündereinstellung vorgenommen bzw. die Anzahl der Treibladungen präpariert.Depending on the fire command the projectile 20 is removed from the projectile holder 27 and brought in a known manner in the standby magazine, made the igniter setting or prepared the number of propellant charges.

Das Einbringen der Munition 20 in die Munitionskette 21 verläuft annähernd entgegengesetzt der Munitionsentnahme. Das Geschoss 20 wird in die geöffnete Geschosshalterung 27 eingelegt. Durch Schließen der Geschosshalterung 27 ist es möglich, das Geschoss 20 um 90° zu drehen. Danach wird die Kette 21 eingeschoben. Das Geschoss 20 kommt in den Bereich des Sperrhebels 34 und bewegt diesen nach unten. Der Steuerbolzen 31 erreicht die vordere Auslaufschräge der Sperrklinke 16, die angehoben wird, so dass sich der Unterstellhebel 30 frei bewegen kann. Der Unterstellhebel 30 geht in seine Ausgangsstellung zurück, das Halteelement 33 des Kettengliedes 22 wird über den federnden Sperrhebel 16 bewegt. Durch weiteres Einschieben der Kette 21 kann nun entweder die komplette Munitionskette 21 in einer Aktion eingebracht werden oder zum Einringen des nächsten Geschosses 20 in die Munitionskette 21 durch Herausziehen an den Sperrhebel 34 vorbereitet werden.The introduction of the ammunition 20 in the ammunition chain 21 runs approximately opposite to the ammunition removal. The projectile 20 is inserted into the opened projectile holder 27. By closing the projectile holder 27, it is possible to rotate the projectile 20 by 90 °. Thereafter, the chain 21 is inserted. The projectile 20 comes in the area of the locking lever 34 and moves it down. The control pin 31 reaches the front outlet slope of the pawl 16, which is raised, so that the Unterstellhebel 30 can move freely. The lower lever 30 returns to its original position, the retaining element 33 of the chain link 22 is moved over the resilient locking lever 16. By further insertion of the chain 21, either the complete ammunition chain 21 can now be introduced in one action or prepared for penetration of the next projectile 20 into the ammunition chain 21 by pulling it out onto the blocking lever 34.
