Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ammunition feeder with an automatic coupling for in particular a revolver gun.
  • the EP 1 024 339 B1 describes an ammunition magazine for a beltless guided ammunition.
  • the goal is that, in particular, when accelerating the ammunition leadership chain no loose chain links arise.
  • the ammunition feeders are usually either fixed or connected via a coupling with the cannon and promote the ammunition according to the firing cadence in the weapon or the cannon.
  • the cannon and ammunition feeder can be moved independently and the loading / unloading functions can be performed.
  • the ammunition feeder and the cannon must be synchronized again via the coupling.
  • the invention has the task to replace the manual operation by automation.
  • the invention is based on the idea of incorporating an automatic coupling between an ammunition feeder and a cannon. It should be kept separable mechanically from the gun by this coupling a feeder, which passes the ammunition of the cannon.
  • the clutch mechanism consists essentially of an actuator (electrically controlled), a locking pin with supporting spring or the like and locking cam.
  • the proposed solution allows automatic engagement and disengagement and automatic synchronization of the ammunition feed to and from the cannon. This also creates the possibility of remotely loading / unloading the cannon. A use of the cannon in unmanned turrets etc. is thus also a further advantage.
  • the empty shooting of the cannon and thus improved preparation of the double feed characterize the present solution advantageous.
  • fast switching times can be realized, which makes it possible to use them in high-caliber guns, especially as the solution combines only a small amount of power and energy.
  • turret gun 1 which, as shown in FIG. 1, forms a weapon system 10 with a beltless ammunition feed 2.
  • Fig. 2 shows the weapon system 10 without cannon. 1
  • the ammunition 11 (FIG. 3) is preferably guided in unspecified known cup chains and guided through a deflection station 3 as far as the cannon 1.
  • Position 3.1 is the last cartridge position in the ammunition feeder 2 before the transfer of the ammunition 11 to the cannon 1.
  • a feeder 4 of the cannon 1 takes the cartridge 11 from this position 3.1 of the beltless ammunition supply 2 and promotes this in the revolver drum of the cannon 1. Die Promotion of the cartridges 11 in the feeder 4 takes place here via a conveyor star 4.1 and a butterfly 4.2, which are connected via gears 4.3 with a rotor shaft 4.4 and the drum shaft of the gun 1.
  • a coupling mechanism 6 ( Figure 3) is operatively connected to the feeder 4 and realizes the decoupling of the feeder 4 from the gun 1.
  • the coupling mechanism 6 (Fig. 4) the rotor shaft 4.4 from the gear 4.5 ( Figure 5) and thus decoupled from the conveying mechanism of the feeder 4, consisting of the butterfly 4.2 and the conveyor star 4.1.
  • an actuator 6.1 is brought into the end position A.
  • a locking pin 6.2 is moved in the direction C and the locking cam 6.3 are unlocked.
  • the locking pin 6.2 is moved in the direction D and the locking cam 6.3 are pressed into the locked position.
  • the clutch 6 and the pawl 7 are opened.
  • the ammunition supply 2 can thus be moved freely and the cartridges 11 to be fired can be brought to position 3.1 before the cannon 1.
  • the actuator 7.1 of the pawl 7 is then activated and the ammunition supply 2 continues to move until the pawl 7 engages.
  • the ammunition feeder 2 and the cannon 1 are thus synchronized.
  • the pawl 7 are first activated and then the clutch 6 disengaged. By the pawl 7 prevents further ammunition 11 can get from the ammunition feeder 2 in the cannon 1. After disengaging can the cannon 1 moves freely and existing in the cannon 1 ammunition 11 are still fired.
