Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a propellant charge supply system having the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the propellant charge delivery system is part of a fully automatic shooting module on a combat vehicle with a heavy weapon.
  • a fully automatic shooting module has a number of advantages over a manually operated shooting module.
  • the automation allows, for example, the spatial separation of the gun operators from the weapon, straightener, bullet feeder, propellant charge device and ammunition. This can be the existing ballistic protection structure be limited to the protective volume of the staff and thus the command post.
  • the number of personnel can be reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, the total weight of the combat vehicle can be reduced.
  • the separation of personnel and shooting module allows new loader concepts, as previously reserved for the gun operator rooms can be used.
  • a fully automatic shooting module on the other hand, a secure propellant charge supply at each weapon elevation angle is possible.
  • a fully automatic shooting module has the advantage that operating errors caused by human errors are excluded.
  • a fully automatic shooting module is in DE 10258263 A1 described.
  • the shooting module described therein has a rotatably mounted in azimuth on a support structure housing in which a heavy weapon is pivotally mounted about a trunnion in elevation, the weapon for a projectiles from a bullet magazine by means of a fully automatic working bullet feed are fed to the other Propellant charges supplied from a propellant charge magazine by means of a fully automatic propellant charge supply device arranged in the housing, which has a propellant charge supply bowl with a propellant charge applicator which can be pivoted into the region behind the weapon and in alignment with the pipe axis of the weapon.
  • a disadvantage of this design is that the propellant charge applicator, which may be formed, for example, as a back-rigid chain, an accurate attachment of the propellant charge within a propellant charge chamber in the barrel a defined attachment position is not guaranteed.
  • This defined attachment position is important for the optimal ignition of the propellant charges and thus for the launch of the projectile.
  • the propellants are ignited from behind by a primer.
  • the propellant charges must be at a defined position for optimal ignition. Since the gun barrel is usually raised in elevation, it must be ensured that the propellant charges do not slip out to the rear. This is done by a bottom ring. Exactly to behind this bottom ring consequently the propellant charges from the propellant charge supply system must be moved as accurately as possible.
  • the object of the invention is an accurate; to allow automatic supply of propellant charges in the propellant charge chamber of a gun barrel in a defined attachment position.
  • the starting means in this case bring about the starting movement, in which the propellant charge feed tray, which is already swiveled in behind the tube bore axis, is brought into the weapon lock up to the propellant charge chamber.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to monitor the functionality of the shooting module by means of at least one sensor. For this purpose, it is determined before the start of the propellant charges, whether the projectile is located in the intended projectile position in the barrel. It should be ensured that the projectile has not slid back in the direction of the weapon lock.
  • a sensor can be done by means of laser beams or by means of ultrasound, wherein it must be noted that not all floors, in particular not all floors, have the same shape.
  • the attachment means cause the Ansetzschi.
  • the propellant charges are moved from the propellant charge tray into the propellant chamber up to a defined piecing position.
  • the attachment means can cause the Ansetz too later in time than the starting means, the starting movement or the attachment means can cause the Ansetz too only after the start-up caused by the start-up means is completed.
  • the attachment means may further comprise a propellant charge thruster which is disposed in a mooring position behind the propellant charges such that it can apply a force on the propellant charges axially to the shell in the direction of the propellant charge chamber.
  • the propellant charge thruster can transition from a storage position into the piecing position. This is advantageous because the space within the combat vehicle is limited.
  • the attachment means and / or the approach means may advantageously comprise a parameterizable drive which is capable of effecting a velocity profile. For example, it may be useful to slow down the speed of the propellant thruster at the moment it contacts the propellant charges. However, the movement of the propellant charge should then take place as quickly as possible, up to the moment in which the propellant charges are applied as slowly as possible in the propellant charge chamber at the intended position.
  • one or more suction cups can be attached in an advantageous manner, which attach to the propellant charges.
  • the attachment of the propellant charges in the propellant charge chamber at the intended attachment position is ensured.
  • the attachment means and the launching means return to the starting position.
  • the reverse approach movement and the reverse attachment movement can take place at the same time, whereby a time saving is achieved.
  • the propellant charges should not be too far back in the attachment chamber, otherwise they could be damaged by the gun barrel catch. Furthermore, with small or negative elevation angles, there is the risk that the propellant charges are too far forward after attachment, which unfavorably affects the ignition process.
  • the correct attachment position of the propellant charges can also be sensed by means of laser beams or by means of ultrasound. Possible embodiments of the invention are in the Figures 1a - 6b shown.
