- the figure 5a shows one of the arms 12a, 12b when it has just been unfolded, the stand 18 resting on the ground.
- the vehicle 1 is moved backwards (movement in the direction R).
- the device then takes the configuration of the figure 5b .
- the arm 12a, 12b and its stand 18 forming a rigid system, the only freedom of the device is in fact a pivoting of an angle ⁇ around the ball joint B, which causes an uplift of the rear axle 21 (light lifting which is amplified in the figure for the sake of clarity).
- the end A (the spade 17) engages in the ground and the arm then forms with the horizontal an angle ⁇ .
- an arm length OA will be chosen which ensures (for a given mass of vehicle 1) a sufficient lever arm behind the vehicle to prevent it from turning over during firing.

Description
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des systèmes d'armes et notamment des systèmes d'armes montés sur véhicule.The technical field of the invention is that of weapon systems and in particular weapon systems mounted on a vehicle.
Il est bien connu d'associer un système d'arme avec un véhicule. Cependant on met en oeuvre généralement des véhicules spécifiques qui ont été définis pour pouvoir supporter le système d'arme considéré et qui peuvent notamment résister aux efforts de tir.It is well known to associate a weapon system with a vehicle. However, it is generally implemented specific vehicles that have been defined to be able to support the weapon system in question and which can in particular withstand firing efforts.
On connaît ainsi des véhicules blindés, lourds ou légers, à roues ou chenillés, et qui sont dotés d'une tourelle portant un canon dont le calibre peut être compris entre 75 mm et 155 mm.Armored vehicles, heavy or light, wheeled or tracked, and which have a turret carrying a gun whose caliber can be between 75 mm and 155 mm, are thus known.
On connaît également des systèmes d'artillerie de campagne de 155 mm montés sur des camions renforcés et qui peuvent tirer à partir de celui-ci grâce à la mise en oeuvre de stabilisateurs ou bêches arrières permettant la reprise des efforts de tir. Ces artilleries présentent l'avantage d'être très mobiles mais le véhicule utilisé est modifié et renforcé pour permettre le tir de l'arme.Also known are 155 mm field artillery systems mounted on reinforced trucks that can fire from it through the implementation of stabilizers or rear spades to resume the shooting efforts. These artillery have the advantage of being very mobile but the vehicle used is modified and reinforced to allow the shooting of the weapon.
Les systèmes connus sont également relativement lourds (au moins 18 tonnes), et leur encombrement limite les possibilités de transport aérien sur les théâtres d'opérations.The known systems are also relatively heavy (at least 18 tons), and their size limits the possibilities of air transport in theaters of operation.
Pour donner aux forces armées une mobilité et une puissance de feu accrue, il serait intéressant d'équiper avec une artillerie des véhicules légers (masse inférieure à 5 tonnes) et très mobiles. Cependant de tels véhicules ne peuvent aujourd'hui résister aux contraintes engendrées par le tir d'une artillerie.
Le
Un inconvénient majeur d'un tel véhicule réside dans le fait que l'arme est directement fixée sur le véhicule. Un autre inconvénient réside dans le fait que si les bêches sont adaptées à l'immobilisation du véhicule, elles ne sont pas prévues pour supporter les efforts verticaux appliqués au véhicule lors du tir d'une munition. Ces efforts sont donc supportés par le châssis du véhicule et essentiellement les roues et les essieux.To give the armed forces mobility and increased firepower, it would be interesting to equip with artillery light vehicles (mass less than 5 tons) and very mobile. However, such vehicles can not today withstand the constraints caused by firing an artillery.
The
A major disadvantage of such a vehicle lies in the fact that the weapon is directly attached to the vehicle. Another disadvantage lies in the fact that if the spades are adapted to immobilize the vehicle, they are not intended to withstand the vertical forces applied to the vehicle when firing a munition. These efforts are therefore supported by the vehicle chassis and essentially the wheels and axles.
De tels inconvénients engendrent des contraintes importantes appliquées au véhicule, ce qui nécessite un surdimensionnement des parties portantes et des supports.Such drawbacks cause significant stresses applied to the vehicle, which requires an oversizing of the supporting parts and supports.
C'est le but de l'invention que de proposer un système d'arme pouvant équiper un véhicule léger (masse inférieure à 5 tonnes) tout en réduisant à un niveau acceptable les contraintes subies par le véhicule. Le système d'arme selon l'invention peut également être mis en oeuvre très rapidement et il permet d'accroître la puissance de feu et la mobilité des forces terrestres.It is the object of the invention to provide a weapon system that can equip a light vehicle (mass less than 5 tons) while reducing the constraints on the vehicle to an acceptable level. The weapon system according to the invention can also be implemented very quickly and it can increase the firepower and mobility of land forces.
Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un système d'arme comportant un canon monté sur un berceau solidaire d'un véhicule, système d'arme tel que le berceau est solidaire d'une embase fixée au niveau d'une partie arrière du véhicule, embase sur laquelle sont articulés au moins deux bras portant chacun une bêche à leur extrémité, caractérisé en ce que chaque bras est verrouillable en position dépliée et comportent également une béquille destinée à venir en appui sur le sol entre la bêche et l'embase, le bras et sa béquille forment un système rigide, la plus grande partie des efforts de recul est supportée par les bras et leurs béquilles.Thus the invention relates to a weapon system comprising a barrel mounted on a cradle integral with a vehicle, weapon system such that the cradle is secured to a base fixed at a rear portion of the vehicle, base on which are articulated at least two arms each carrying a spade at their end, characterized in that each arm is lockable in the unfolded position and also comprise a crutch intended to bear on the ground between the spade and the base, the arm and crutch form a rigid system, most of the recoil efforts are supported by the arms and their crutches.
D'une façon préférée chaque béquille porte un plateau au niveau de son extrémité venant en appui sur le sol, plateau lié à la béquille par une articulation.In a preferred manner each crutch carries a plate at its end bearing on the ground, plate linked to the stand by a hinge.
Avantageusement, lorsque le bras se trouve en position dépliée et que le véhicule est sur un sol horizontal, la béquille est sensiblement verticale et l'extrémité de la bêche se trouve à une distance du sol comprise entre 0mm et 200 mm.Advantageously, when the arm is in the unfolded position and the vehicle is on a horizontal ground, the stand is substantially vertical and the end of the spade is at a distance of between 0mm and 200 mm from the ground.
La distance entre la béquille et l'articulation du bras sur l'embase sera de préférence comprise entre 5% et 20 % de la longueur totale de la béquille.The distance between the stand and the articulation of the arm on the base will preferably be between 5% and 20% of the total length of the stand.
L'embase pourra comporter au moins deux branches sur lesquelles sont articulés les bras, des moyens de verrouillage étant prévus entre chaque branche et le bras articulé qu'elle porte.The base may comprise at least two branches on which the arms are articulated, locking means being provided between each branch and the articulated arm that it carries.
Le moyen de verrouillage sera avantageusement en position de verrouillage lorsque le bras sera incliné par rapport à l'horizontale d'un angle compris entre 10° et 30°.The locking means will advantageously be in the locking position when the arm is inclined relative to the horizontal by an angle of between 10 ° and 30 °.
L'embase pourra porter une circulaire sur laquelle sera fixée une fourche portant le berceau.The base will be able to carry a circular on which will be fixed a fork carrying the cradle.
Le berceau du canon pourra être pivoté en site et en gisement par rapport à l'embase par des moyens moteurs.The cradle of the barrel may be rotated in site and in relation to the base by the drive means.
Le pivotement des bras pourra être commandé par des vérins hydrauliques alimentés par un générateur solidaire du véhicule.The pivoting of the arms may be controlled by hydraulic cylinders powered by a generator integral with the vehicle.
Le canon pourra avoir un calibre compris entre 75mm et 155mm et la capacité de pivotement en gisement du berceau pourra être supérieure à 100°.The barrel may have a caliber of between 75mm and 155mm and the pivoting capacity in the bed of the cradle may be greater than 100 °.
La capacité de pivotement en site pourra être comprise entre -10° et +70°.The pivoting capacity in site may be between -10 ° and + 70 °.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de mise en oeuvre d'un tel système d'arme, procédé caractérisé en ce que pour mettre le système d'arme en batterie on réalise successivement les étapes suivantes :
- on déplie les bras vers l'arrière du véhicule jusqu'à appui des béquilles sur le sol,
- on fait reculer le véhicule de façon à provoquer le pivotement des bras sur les extrémités des béquilles et l'engagement des bêches dans le sol le bras et sa béquille formant un système rigide, la plus grande partie des efforts de recul étant supportée par les bras et leurs béquilles,
- le pivotement des bras assurant le verrouillage de verrous.
- the arms are unfolded towards the rear of the vehicle until the crutches rest on the ground,
- the vehicle is moved back so as to cause the arms to pivot on the ends of the stands and the engagement of the spades in the ground the arm and its stand forming a rigid system, the greater part of the recoil forces being supported by the arms and their crutches,
- the pivoting of the arms ensuring the locking of locks.
Pour sortir de batterie le système d'arme on réalise ensuite successivement les étapes suivantes :
- on déverrouille les bras,
- on fait avancer le véhicule pour dégager les bêches du sol,
- on replie les bras vers l'avant du véhicule.
- we unlock our arms,
- the vehicle is moved forward to clear the spades from the ground,
- fold the arms towards the front of the vehicle.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode particulier de réalisation, description faite en référence aux dessins annexés et dans lesquels :

Le véhicule est un véhicule léger (masse inférieure à 5 tonnes), ici un 4x4HMMWV (marque déposée par American Motors) dont l'arrière a été libéré pour recevoir le système d'arme.The vehicle is a light vehicle (mass less than 5 tonnes), here a 4x4HMMWV (registered trademark by American Motors) whose rear has been released to receive the weapon system.
Le système d'arme 2 comporte un canon 3 équipé d'un frein de bouche 4, canon monté sur un berceau 5.The
La structure du canon ne fait l'objet de la présente invention. Le canon comprend d'une façon classique un manchon de culasse 3a et un frein de recul hydraulique 3b reliant le canon au berceau (voir aussi la
Le berceau 5 est monté pivotant au niveau d'un axe 3c sur une fourche 6, ce qui permet le pointage de l'arme en site. Le pivotement du berceau par rapport à la fourche est assuré d'une façon classique par un moteur électrique (24) (voir
La fourche 6 est par ailleurs montée sur une circulaire 7 (par exemple une circulaire à billes) qui est plus particulièrement visible aux
Les moteurs de pointage 24 et 25 sont alimentés en énergie à partir d'un générateur électrique non représenté. On pourrait aussi mettre en oeuvre un générateur hydraulique associé à des moteurs ou vérins hydrauliques.The
La circulaire recevant la fourche est solidaire d'une embase 8 qui est fixée au niveau d'une partie arrière du véhicule 1.The circular receiving the fork is integral with a
L'embase 8 est plus particulièrement visible aux
Une branche avant 9c est fixée au châssis du véhicule 1 par une bride 10 boulonnée ou soudée au châssis au travers du plancher 1a. Cette bride porte par ailleurs un crochet de brelage articulé 11 qui permet de maintenir le tube 3 par rapport au véhicule 1 lors des étapes de roulage.A
Les branches arrière 9a et 9b sont également fixées au châssis du véhicule par des moyens non visibles sur les figures (par exemple des boulons).The
Les branches arrières 9a et 9b portent des bras 12a et 12b qui sont articulés sur les branches par des axes 13 (voir
Ces vérins seront alimentés en fluide sous pression par un générateur hydraulique 15 fixé au plancher 1a (voir
Un moyen de verrouillage 16 est prévu sur chaque bras pour permettre d'assurer l'immobilisation des bras 12a et 12b dans leur position déployée. Ce moyen de verrouillage est représenté ouvert sur la
Chaque bras 12a, 12b est prolongé par une bêche 17 destinée à assurer un ancrage du bras dans le sol et il porte également une béquille 18 qui est destinée à venir en appui sur le sol, béquille qui est disposée entre la bêche 17 et l'articulation 13 du bras 12a,12b considéré sur sa branche 9a, 9b.Each
Chaque béquille 18 est reliée rigidement au bras 12a, 12b considéré. Elle pourra par exemple être fixée par soudure au bras. Les bras 12a,12b et les branches 9a, 9b de l'embase ainsi que les béquilles 18 sont réalisées en tôles mécano soudées.Each stand 18 is rigidly connected to the
Chaque béquille 18 porte un plateau 19 au niveau de son extrémité destinée à venir en appui sur le sol. Ce plateau est destiné à fournir une surface d'appui suffisante avec le sol, ce qui garantit la stabilité du système d'arme, même sur sol meuble.Each
Le plateau 19 est lié à la béquille par une articulation qui lui donne au moins trois degrés de liberté en rotation par rapport à la béquille (articulation de type rotule), cela afin de permettre d'assurer l'appui malgré les irrégularités du sol. Une telle articulation à rotule est bien connue de l'Homme du Métier et elle est disponible dans le commerce. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de la décrire dans les détails.The
Lorsque les bras 12a et 12b se trouvent dans leur position repliée (
Lorsque les bras 12a et 12b se trouvent en position dépliée (
On remarque dans ce cas que le verrou 16 n'est pas encore verrouillé.Note in this case that the
Pour que le système d'arme puisse tirer, il est nécessaire que les bêches 17 soient engagées dans le sol. En effet dans ce cas le système d'arme se trouve en contact avec le sol au niveau d'un polygone d'appui ayant des dimensions suffisantes et interdisant notamment un relèvement excessif du véhicule 1 vers l'arrière sous l'effet du recul du canon 3.For the weapon system to be able to fire, it is necessary for the
Pour que les bêches puissent s'engager dans le sol, il suffit de procéder de la façon suivante.So that the spades can engage in the ground, just proceed as follows.
Après dépliage des bras 12a, 12b vers l'arrière du véhicule jusqu'à appui des béquilles 18 sur le sol, on fait reculer le véhicule 1 avec sa propre motorisation.After unfolding the
Chaque béquille 18 étant rigide par rapport au bras 12a,12b considéré, le recul du véhicule provoque un pivotement des bras 12a, 12b sur les extrémités des béquilles 18 grâce aux plateaux 19.Each stand 18 being rigid relative to the
Les bêches 17 s'engagent alors dans le sol et l'essieu arrière 21 du véhicule 1 se soulève légèrement du sol.The
Dans le même temps ce pivotement des bras a pour effet d'assurer le verrouillage des verrous 16 qui assurent la rigidité de l'ensemble des bras 12a,12b et des branches 9a,9b solidaires de l'embase 8.At the same time this pivoting of the arms has the effect of ensuring the locking of the

L'extrémité A (la bêche 17) s'engage dans le sol et le bras forme alors avec l'horizontale un angle α.The end A (the spade 17) engages in the ground and the arm then forms with the horizontal an angle α.
L'essieu 21 n'étant plus en contact avec le sol, la plus grande partie des efforts de recul est supportée par les bras 12a,12b et leurs béquilles 18.As the
L'Homme du Métier dimensionnera aisément les bras et béquilles en fonction des caractéristiques de l'arme et du véhicule.The skilled person will easily size the arms and crutches according to the characteristics of the weapon and the vehicle.
On choisira en particulier une longueur de bras OA qui assure (pour une masse de véhicule 1 donnée) un bras de levier suffisant en arrière du véhicule pour empêcher le retournement de celui-ci lors du tir. On pourra éventuellement, en fonction des caractéristiques de l'arme, compléter le dispositif selon l'invention par un moyen permettant aussi de réduire le relèvement du canon lors du tir.In particular, an arm length OA will be chosen which ensures (for a given mass of vehicle 1) a sufficient lever arm behind the vehicle to prevent it from turning over during firing. Depending on the characteristics of the weapon, it may be possible to supplement the device according to the invention by a means that also makes it possible to reduce the raising of the gun during firing.
On pourra par exemple prévoir au niveau du frein de bouche 4 des moyens permettant d'exercer lors du tir un couple provoquant un pivotement du système d'arme 2 autour du point A dans un sens permettant d'appliquer plus fortement la béquille 18 sur le sol. Ces moyens pourront être constitués tout simplement par un ou plusieurs perçages 22 (
On pourra aussi donner au frein de bouche une forme dissymétrique (par exemple au niveau de ses ouïes 23) forme qui assurera l'apparition d'un effort faisant pivoter le système d'arme dans le sens souhaité. On pourra par exemple prévoir à l'intérieur du frein une surface sur laquelle s'exerce la pression des gaz qui est plus importante en dessous d'un plan médian du frein de bouche qu'au-dessus.It will also be possible to give the muzzle brake an asymmetrical shape (for example at its gills 23), which shape will ensure the appearance of a force that rotates the weapon system in the desired direction. For example, it is possible to provide inside the brake a surface on which the pressure of the gases is exerted, which is greater below a median plane of the muzzle brake than above.
De telles dispositions au niveau du frein de bouche ne font pas l'objet de la présente invention mais sont plus particulièrement décrites dans la demande de
Une valeur faible pour l'angle α permet de réduire l'amplitude du pivotement arrière. Cette amplitude se trouve également réduite en choisissant une distance D entre la bêche 17 et le sol relativement faible lorsque le bras vient d'être déplié. Pour un système d'arme ayant un calibre compris entre 90 mm et 105mm on choisira de préférence un angle α compris entre 10° et 30° et on adoptera une distance D entre la bêche et le sol (horizontal) qui sera comprise entre 0 mm et 200 mm. La longueur totale du bras est comprise entre 1 et 2 m.A low value for the angle α makes it possible to reduce the amplitude of the rear pivoting. This amplitude is also reduced by choosing a distance D between the
L'amplitude du soulèvement de l'essieu 21 dépend également de la distance OH entre l'articulation 13 et la béquille 18.The amplitude of the lifting of the
On choisira par exemple une distance OH comprise entre 5% et 20 % de la longueur totale de la béquille.For example, an OH distance of between 5% and 20% of the total length of the stand is chosen.
On voit que grâce à invention il est possible d'assurer avec des moyens relativement simples et légers une liaison au sol d'un système d'arme autorisant le tir à partir d'un véhicule relativement léger.It can be seen that, thanks to invention, it is possible to provide, with relatively simple and light means, a connection to the ground of a weapon system authorizing firing from a relatively light vehicle.
La mise en oeuvre du dispositif selon l'invention est également rapide, le véhicule 1 étant lui-même utilisé pour assurer l'ancrage au sol.The implementation of the device according to the invention is also fast, the vehicle 1 itself being used to ensure anchoring to the ground.
Inversement, pour sortir de batterie le système d'arme selon invention, il est nécessaire tout d'abord de déverrouiller les bras (par une action manuelle sur la griffe 16a qui est dotée pour cela d'une poignée - voir
Il suffira ensuite de faire avancer le véhicule 1. Une telle opération assurera un pivotement inverse des bras 12 et permettra le dégagement des bêches hors du sol.It will then be sufficient to advance the vehicle 1. Such an operation will provide a reverse pivoting arms 12 and allow the release of the spades out of the ground.
On replie ensuite les bras 12a, 12b vers l'avant du véhicule à l'aide de leurs vérins hydrauliques.The
Concrètement le déploiement du système d'arme se fait en un temps inférieur à 30 secondes. Le délai nécessaire pour le repli du système d'arme est du même ordre. Lorsque le système d'arme est en position de tir (
Les pivotements en site et en gisement sont assurés par les moteurs électriques 24 et 25. L'amplitude du pivotement en gisement est de l'ordre de 100°, l'amplitude de pivotement en site est comprise entre -10° et +70° par rapport à un plan horizontal passant par les tourillons 3c.The pivoting in the site and in the bearing is ensured by the
Des moyens électroniques (non représentés) permettent d'assurer la conduite du tir. Ces moyens sont classiques et ils comprennent : un calculateur de tir incorporant les données de balistiques, un système de localisation par satellite (GPS) complété par une centrale inertielle et des moyens de communication avec un poste de commandement. Ces moyens sont couplés aux moteurs électriques et ils permettent d'assurer un pointage rapide du canon de façon à assurer le tir souhaité par le poste de commandement.Electronic means (not shown) to ensure the conduct of shooting. These means are conventional and they include: a fire calculator incorporating ballistics data, a satellite positioning system (GPS) supplemented by an inertial unit and means of communication with a command post. These means are coupled to the electric motors and they ensure a fast pointing of the gun so as to ensure the desired fire by the command post.
