Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Munitionsprüfgerät für Mittelkaliber-Munition einer rückstoßfreien oder rückstoßarmen Maschinenkanone.The invention relates to an ammunition tester for medium caliber ammunition of a recoilless or low recoil machine gun.

Bekannt ist ein Munitionsprüfgerät aus der DE 14 28 695 A1 . Die Brauchbarkeit der Munition wird hierbei durch die Messung eines Höchstgasdruckes und die Ermittlung eines Trefferbildes in einer Versuchsreihe bestimmt. Vorgeschlagen wird, alle mit dem Waffenrohr beweglichen Anbauten wie auch den Gasdruckmessapparat so anzubringen, dass der gemeinsame Schwerpunkt in der Seelenachse des Rohres liegt, damit keine Querkräfte auf das Rohr beim Schuss einwirken können.Is known a Munitionsprüfgerät from the DE 14 28 695 A1 , The usefulness of the ammunition is determined here by the measurement of a maximum gas pressure and the determination of a target image in a series of experiments. It is proposed to mount all attachments movable with the weapon barrel as well as the gas pressure gauge so that the common center of gravity is in the axis of the tube, so that no transverse forces can act on the tube during firing.

Eine weitere Munitionsprüfvorrichtung für die Ermittlung von beim Anfeuern der Munition im Messlauf auftretenden innenballistischen bzw. rohrspezifischen Kenngrößen beschreibt die DE 31 32 085 C2 . Die Munitionsprüfvorrichtung besteht aus einem Aufnahmeblock für den Messlauf und ein Verschlusssystem, sowie einer Aufnahmevorrichtung für ein Messelement, welches seinen Messort an einer bestimmten Stelle im Messlauf oder Aufnahmeblock hat.A further ammunition testing device for determining inside ballistic or pipe-specific parameters occurring during the firing of the ammunition in the measuring run describes the DE 31 32 085 C2 , The ammunition testing device consists of a receiving block for the measuring run and a closure system, as well as a receiving device for a measuring element, which has its measuring location at a specific point in the measuring run or receiving block.

Mit der CH 629 891 A5 wird ein Munitionsprüfapparat mit einem piezoelektrischen Druckwandler offenbart.With the CH 629 891 A5 An ammunition testing apparatus with a piezoelectric pressure transducer is disclosed.

Eine rückstoßfreie Maschinenkanone ist aus der XP 002 443 540 bekannt und besteht unter anderem aus einem Waffengehäuse mit einem Gastrichter, einer Art Laval- Düse, am Ende sowie einem Waffenrohr / Lauf. Die Munitionszuführung erfolgt von vorne in eine Revolverkammer einer Trommel. Bei einem für diese Kanone konzipierten Munitionsprüfgerät wird zur Bestückung des Gerätes mit einer Munition das im Messgerät eingebundene Patronenlager zwischen Rohr und Gastrichter quer zum Rohr verschoben, während der Gastrichter selbst fest stehend am Gehäuse verbleibt. Im Bereich zwischen Gehäuse und Trommel kann es dabei zur Leckage kommen, was sich insbesondere bei der Munitionsoptimierung nachteilig ist.A recoilless automatic cannon is known from XP 002 443 540 and consists inter alia of a weapon housing with a gas funnel, a kind Laval nozzle, at the end and a barrel / barrel. The ammunition supply takes place from the front into a revolver chamber of a drum. In an ammunition tester designed for this cannon, the cartridge chamber between tube and gas funnel, which is integrated in the measuring device, is moved transversely to the tube for equipping the device with ammunition, while the gas funnel itself remains stationary on the housing. In the area between the housing and the drum, leaks can occur, which is disadvantageous in particular in the optimization of ammunition.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, ein Munitionsprüfgerät aufzuzeigen, welches die mit der neu konzipierten Kanone verschießbare Munitionen prüfen kann.The invention has as its object to show an ammunition tester, which can check the firing of the newly designed cannon ammunition.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are listed in the subclaims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Munitionsprüfgerät besteht dabei hauptsächlich aus einem Gehäuse, das ein Rohr trägt, sowie einem horizontal oder vertikal bewegbaren Block, der das zum Rohr verstellbare Patronenlager umschließt und dieses samt dem Gastrichter bewegt. Bevorzugt befindet sich wenigstens ein Sensor, ein Gasdrucksensor, im mechanisch verstellbaren Block, wozu der Block eine entsprechende Messbohrung zur Aufnahme des Sensors besitzt. Dieser Sensor ist dabei zum Patronenlager hin ausgerichtet. Alternativ können auch wenigstens ein als auch mehrere Sensoren am oder im Messlauf vorgesehen werden.The ammunition tester according to the invention consists mainly of a housing which carries a pipe, as well as a horizontally or vertically movable block which encloses the chamber adjustable cartridge chamber and this moves together with the gas funnel. Preferably, at least one sensor, a gas pressure sensor, is located in the mechanically adjustable block, for which purpose the block has a corresponding measuring bore for receiving the sensor. This sensor is aligned with the cartridge chamber. Alternatively, at least one or more sensors can also be provided on or in the measuring run.

In Weiterführung der Erfindung können durch diese einfache Konstruktion auf einfache Weise unterschiedlich lange Patronenlager in das Prüfgerät eingebunden werden.In continuation of the invention can be involved in the tester by this simple construction in a simple way different length cartridge chamber.

Fig. 1 zeigt die für die Erläuterung wesentlichen Elemente eines Munitionsprüfgerätes 1 in der Funktionsstellung, jedoch ohne Munition bzw. Patrone. Bezüglich eines möglichen Gesamtaufbaus des Munitionsprüfgerätes 1 wird auf die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Munitionsprüfgeräte verwiesen. Fig. 1 shows the essential for the explanation elements of a Munitionssprüfgerätes 1 in the functional position, but without ammunition or cartridge. With regard to a possible overall construction of the ammunition testing device 1, reference is made to the ammunition testing devices known from the prior art.

Das Munitionsprüfgerät 1 besitzt wenigstens ein Gehäuse 2, in dem ein Rohr 3 gelagert ist, sowie einen, vorzugsweise im Gehäuse 2 horizontal oder vertical geführten, bewegbaren Block 4, welcher ein Patronenlager 5 umfasst und trägt. Dazu weist das Gehäuse 2 eine Ausnehmung 2.1 auf, in welcher der Block 4 ruht. Mit dem Patronenlager 5 fest verbunden ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein für eine rückstoßfreie Maschinenkanone bekannter Gastrichter 6.The ammunition tester 1 has at least one housing 2, in which a tube 3 is mounted, as well as a, preferably horizontally or vertically guided in the housing 2, movable block 4, which comprises a cartridge chamber 5 and carries. For this purpose, the housing 2 has a recess 2.1, in which the block 4 rests. With the cartridge chamber 5 is firmly connected in this embodiment, a known for a recoilless machine gun gas funnel. 6

Die Verbindungsstelle des Mechanismus 9 liegt bevorzugt unterhalb des Blockes 4.The block 4 with cartridge chamber 5 and gas funnel 6 is preferably preferably raised and lowered via a mechanically connected to the block 4 mechanism 9 horizontally or vertically relative to the tube 3 within the recess 2.1 in the housing 2 ( Fig. 2 ). The connection point of the mechanism 9 is preferably below the block 4.

Durch dieses Verschieben wird das Patronelager 5 für das Bestücken des Patronenlagers 5 mit einer nicht näher dargestellten Patrone bzw. Munition zugänglich. Diese wird von vorne in das Patronenlager 5 eingebracht. Danach wird das Patronenlager 5 wieder zum Rohr 3 ausgerichtet und die Munition herkömmlich gezündet.By this displacement, the cartridge bearing 5 is accessible for the loading of the cartridge chamber 5 with a cartridge or ammunition not shown. This is introduced from the front into the chamber 5. Thereafter, the cartridge chamber 5 is again aligned with the tube 3 and ignited the ammunition conventionally.

Der Mechanismus 9 kann in einer einfachsten Form eine Pleuelstange 9.1 sein, die mit einem Hebelsystem 9.2 zusammenwirkt und mittels welcher der Block 4 arretierbar in der geöffneten Stellung ist.The mechanism 9 may be in a most simple form a connecting rod 9.1, which cooperates with a lever system 9.2 and by means of which the block 4 is lockable in the open position.

Der einfache Aufbau des Blockes 4 mit Patronenlager 5 ermöglicht die Nutzung des Munitionsprüfgerätes 1 für Munitionen unterschiedlicher Längen.
