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 aim is that, especially when accelerating the ammunition guide 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.
  • Such a feed is with the CH 690 286 A5 which discloses a method for feeding ammunition cartridges and a feeding device for carrying out the method.
  • the feeding takes place from an external ammunition magazine into the interior of a firearm to an ignition point by means of a rotatable conveying element and a fixedly mounted guide element, the latter being permanently held by the magazine.
  • the feeder is controlled by a multi-stage clutch. In a first Position are the rotatable conveyor elements, the rotatable loading star and the drum coupled to the explosion drive. The feeder then conveys the ammunition.
  • the rotatable conveying elements themselves are then decoupled in a loading / unloading position (second position) so that the conveying mode of the rotatable conveying elements is reversible and the ammunition can be unloaded not only inside but also out of the firearm body.
  • 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.
  • FIG. Fig. 1 shown with a beltless ammunition supply 2 a weapon system 10 forms.
  • Fig. 2 shows the weapon system 10 without cannon 1.
  • the ammunition 11 ( Figure 3 ) preferably guided in unspecified known since daisy chains and passed through a deflection station 3 to the gun 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 cannon 1.
  • the coupling mechanism 6 (FIG. Fig. 4 )
  • the rotor shaft 4.4 from the gear 4.5 ( Figure 5 ) and thus by the conveying mechanism of the feeder 4, consisting of the butterfly 4.2 and the conveyor star 4.1, uncoupled.
  • 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.

  1. Alimentation en munition d'un canon de revolver, comprenant une alimentation sans organe de courroie, où, dans une position (3.1) constituant la dernière position de cartouche dans l'alimentation en munition (2) avant le transfert d'une munition (11) au canon (1), un dispositif d'alimentation (4) est incorporé, lequel transfère la munition (11) de cette position (3.1) dans le canon (1), le dispositif d'alimentation (4) présentant au moins une étoile de transport (4.1) et un papillon (4.2), qui sont connectés par le biais de roues dentées (4.3) à un arbre de rotor (4.4) et à l'arbre de tambour du canon (1),
    caractérisée en ce
    - qu'un mécanisme d'embrayage automatique, à commande électrique (8), est en liaison avec le dispositif d'alimentation (4),
    - que le mécanisme d'embrayage (8) permet un désaccouplement de l'arbre de rotor (4.4) de la roue dentée (4.5) du mécanisme de transport du dispositif d'alimentation (4) et de ce fait un désaccouplement du dispositif d'alimentation (4) du canon (1),
    - que le mécanisme d'embrayage (8) se compose d'au moins un actionneur (6.1), d'un boulon d'arrêt (6.2) ainsi que de cames d'arrêt (6.3),
