Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Waffenanlage, insbesondere für ein Schiff, mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Sie weist einen Raketenwerfer und einen Munitionsraum auf, in welchem die Raketen in Raketenbehältern gelagert sind. Solche Systeme sind an sich bekannt. Die gelagerten Raketenbehälter mit den Raketen werden dem Raketenwerfer zugeführt, welcher die so geladenen Raketen abfeuert. Anschließend müssen die leeren Raketenbehälter wieder abgesetzt und neue mit Raketen gefüllte Raketenbehälter dem Raketenwerfer zugeführt werden. Es ist somit ein Munitionslagerungssystem notwendig, welches geeignet ist, die vollen Raketenbehälter dem Raketenwerfer zuzuführen und die leeren Raketenbehälter wieder aufzunehmen und zu lagern. Die Anzahl der Raketen, welche dem Raketenwerfer zugeführt werden können, ist abhängig von der Ausführung des Raketenwerfers. Bei einer bekannten Ausführung kann der Raketenwerfer beispielsweise zwei Raketenbehälter mit jeweils sechs Raketen aufnehmen.The invention relates to a weapon system, in particular for a ship, with the features of the preamble of claim 1. It has a rocket launcher and an ammunition space in which the rockets are stored in rocket containers. Such systems are known per se. The stored rocket containers with the rockets are fed to the rocket launcher, which fires the charged rockets. Then the empty rocket containers must be dropped off again and new rocket containers filled with rockets must be fed to the rocket launcher. It is thus necessary an ammunition storage system, which is suitable, the full rocket container to feed the rocket launcher and pick up the empty rocket containers and store. The number of missiles which can be supplied to the rocket launcher depends on the design of the rocket launcher. For example, in one known embodiment, the rocket launcher can accommodate two rocket containers each containing six rockets.

Ein bekannter Raketenwerfer, welcher auf einem Landfahrzeug montiert ist, wird in der EP 1 186 848 A1 beschrieben. Es wird ferner beschrieben, wie die auf dem Boden hinter dem Fahrzeug stehenden Raketenbehälter mittels eines Krans aufgenommen und dem Raketenwerfer zugeführt werden.A well-known rocket launcher which is mounted on a land vehicle is in the EP 1 186 848 A1 described. It is also described how the rocket containers standing on the ground behind the vehicle are picked up by means of a crane and fed to the rocket launcher.

Bei Waffenanlagen, welche auf Schiffen installiert sind, sind die äußeren Einflüsse stets problematisch. Zum einen müssen die Systeme gegen See-Witterungsverhältnisse (Salzwasser) geschützt werden, zum anderen können auf Grund des Seegangs große Kräfte auf die Mechanik wirken. Deswegen muss die Munition gut geschützt und sicher verstaut werden. Gleichzeitig ist auf einem Schiff der zur Verfügung stehende Raum begrenzt.In weapon systems installed on ships, external influences are always problematic. On the one hand, the systems must be protected against sea weather conditions (salt water), on the other hand, due to the sea, large forces can act on the mechanics. Therefore, the ammunition must be well protected and safely stowed. At the same time, the space available on a ship is limited.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Waffenanlage auszugestalten, welche eine sichere Lagerung der Munition bei geringem Platzbedarf gewährleistet.It is the object of the invention to design a weapons system, which ensures safe storage of the ammunition in a small footprint.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Bestandteil der abhängigen Ansprüche.The invention solves the problem with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments are part of the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung ist, dass im Munitionsraum eine Führungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, auf der mindestens zwei Munitionswagen verschiebbar angeordnet sind. Die Munitionswagen dienen zur Aufnahme der Raketenbehälter. Sie können aus einer Parkposition in eine Beladeposition, in welcher der Raketenbehälter im Wesentlichen unterhalb eines Einschubrahmens des Raketenwerfers angeordnet ist, verschoben werden. Um die Raketenbehälter dem Raketenwerfer zuzuführen, wird ein Munitionswagen, auf welchem sich ein voller Raketenbehälter befindet, von der Parkposition in die Beladeposition verschoben. Dort kann der Raketenbehälter beispielsweise mittels einer Hebevorrichtung wie einem Kran, welche an einer Öse des Raketenbehälters angreifen kann, von dem Munitionswagen angehoben und dem Raketenwerfer zugeführt werden. Nach dem Abfeuern werden die leeren Raketenbehälter wieder auf den Munitionswagen abgesetzt und der Munitionswagen wird mitsamt dem leeren Raketenbehälter zurück in eine Parkposition verschoben. Somit ist es möglich, dass mehrere Raketenbehälter in Parkposition gelagert werden können. Durch die Führungsvorrichtung wird erreicht, dass die Raketenbehälter auf den Wagen auf definierten Bahnen innerhalb des Munitionsraums bewegt werden. Die Wagen werden durch Feststellmittel wie Bolzensicherungen gegen ungewollte Bewegungen bei starkem Seegang gesichert.A basic idea of the invention is that a guide device is arranged in the ammunition space, on which at least two ammunition carriages are displaceably arranged. The ammunition wagons serve to receive the rocket containers. They can be moved from a parking position into a loading position, in which the rocket container is arranged substantially below a slide-in frame of the rocket launcher. In order to supply the rocket containers to the rocket launcher, an ammunition carriage, on which a full rocket container is located, is moved from the parking position into the loading position. There, the rocket container, for example by means of a lifting device such as a crane, which can attack on an eye of the rocket container, lifted from the ammunition carriage and fed to the rocket launcher. After firing the empty rocket containers are dropped off again on the ammunition cart and the ammunition cart is moved together with the empty rocket container back into a parking position. Thus, it is possible that multiple rocket containers can be stored in park position. By the guide device is achieved that the rocket containers are moved to the car on defined paths within the ammunition space. The cars are secured by locking means such as pin locks against unwanted movements in heavy seas.

Der begrenzte Raum kann besser ausgenutzt werden, wenn im Munitionsraum mindestens zwei übereinander angeordnete Führungsvorrichtungen angeordnet sind, auf welchen jeweils mindestens zwei Munitionswagen verschiebbar angeordnet sind.The limited space can be better utilized if at least two superimposed guide devices are arranged in the ammunition space, on each of which at least two ammunition cars are arranged displaceably.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann jede Führungsvorrichtung um mindestens die Länge des längsten Munitionswagens auf der Führungsvorrichtung länger sein als die Länge aller Munitionswagen auf der Führungsvorrichtung zusammen, wobei die Länge eines Munitionswagens in Verschieberichtung gemessen wird. Mindestens sollte die Führungsvorrichtung um die Länge eines Raketenbehälters länger sein als die Länge aller Munitionswagen auf der Führungsvorrichtung zusammen. Bevorzugt werden baugleiche Munitionswagen verwendet, so dass jede Führungsvorrichtung mindestens eine Munitionswagenlänge länger ist, als die Länge von allen Munitionswagen auf der Führungsvorrichtung zusammen. Es können auch mehrere Raketenbehälter in einem entsprechend längeren Munitionswagen gelagert werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment, each guide device may be at least the length of the longest ammunition carriage on the guide device longer than the length of all ammunition carriage on the guide device together, the length of an ammunition carriage is measured in the direction of displacement. At least the guiding device should be longer by the length of a rocket container than the length of all ammunition carriages on the guiding device together. Preferably, identical ammunition cars are used, so that each guide device is at least one ammunition cart length longer than the length of all ammunition cart on the guide device together. It can also be stored several rocket containers in a correspondingly longer ammunition cart.

Wenn der Raketenwerfer zwei Raketenbehälter aufnehmen kann, können in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung auf jeder Führungsvorrichtung drei Munitionswagen angeordnet sein.If the rocket launcher can pick up two rocket containers, in a preferred embodiment three ammunition cars can be arranged on each guide device.

In einer einfachen Ausgestaltung können die Munitionswagen als Laufwagen auf zwei insbesondere geraden und parallel zueinander verlaufenden Führungsbahnen verschiebbar angeordnet sein. Ferner können die Munitionswagen insbesondere vier oder mehr Rollen aufweisen, mittels welcher sie verschiebbar auf der Führungsvorrichtung angeordnet sind. Eine verbesserte Führung kann zudem erreicht werden, wenn die Führungsbahn die Form eines U-Profils aufweist, in welchem die Rollen geführt sind. In analoger Weise können auch die Rollen im Querschnitt ein U-Profil aufweisen und auf einer gleisförmigen Führungsbahn aufliegen. In einer weiteren analogen Ausgestaltung können die Führungsbahnen auch als Rollenbahnen ausgestaltet sein, auf welchen Gleitflächen der Munitionswagen aufliegen.In a simple embodiment, the ammunition carriage can be arranged as a carriage on two particular straight and mutually parallel guideways slidably. Furthermore, the ammunition trolleys may in particular have four or more rollers, by means of which they are arranged displaceably on the guide device. An improved guide can also be achieved if the guideway has the shape of a U-profile in which the rollers are guided. In an analogous way, the roles in Cross section have a U-profile and rest on a track-shaped track. In a further analogous embodiment, the guideways may also be designed as roller conveyors on which sliding surfaces of the ammunition carriages rest.

Die Führungsvorrichtung kann eine Zahnstange umfassen, in welche ein entsprechendes Zahnrad des Munitionswagens eingreift, so dass der Munitionswagen auf der Führungsvorrichtung manuell oder motorisch bewirkt verschoben werden kann. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weisen die Munitionswagen eine Kurbelvorrichtung auf, mittels der sie verschiebbar sind. Die Kurbelvorrichtung kann eine Lastmomentsperre aufweisen, welche bewirkt, dass die Bewegung des Munitionswagens verhindert wird, sobald die Kurbel losgelassen wird. Somit sind das Bedienpersonal und die Munition gesichert, falls durch starke Schiffsbewegungen die Kurbel losgelassen werden muss.The guide device may comprise a toothed rack, in which engages a corresponding gear of the ammunition cart, so that the ammunition carriage on the guide device can be moved manually or by motor causes. In a preferred embodiment, the ammunition cars on a crank device, by means of which they are displaceable. The crank device may include a load torque lock that causes movement of the munition cart to be prevented once the crank is released. Thus, the operator and the ammunition are secured, if the crank must be released by strong ship movements.

Um einen Schutz gegen die See-Witterungsverhältnisse zu schaffen, kann der Munitionsraum in einem Hangar auf dem Deck des Schiffes hinter dem Raketenwerfer angeordnet sein. Der Hangar kann dabei eine zum Raketenwerfer gerichtete Öffnung aufweisen, welche verschließbar ist, damit während des Abfeuerns der Raketen der Partikelstrahl nicht in den Hangar gelangt. Das Hangardach kann zudem eine Öffnung zur Notentladung der Raketenbehälter aufweisen, falls beispielsweise die reguläre Hebevorrichtung defekt ist.To provide protection against the sea-weather conditions, the ammunition room can be arranged in a hangar on the deck of the ship behind the rocket launcher. The hangar can have an opening directed towards the rocket launcher, which can be closed so that the particle beam does not enter the hangar during the firing of the rockets. The hangar roof may also have an opening for emergency discharge of the rocket container, for example, if the regular lifting device is defective.

Thus, the ammunition cart 12 can be moved manually with the crank device 15 by the operator 7. The ammunition carriages 12 are secured by means of the bolts 16, which have a handy knob 24 (FIG. 8), as a locking means against a random displacement, for example, due to strong swell.

Um den Raketenwerfer 1 zu beladen, müssen die Raketenbehälter 10 in den Raketenwerfer 1 eingeschoben werden. Dafür müssen sie zunächst mittels eines in Fig. 5 dargestellten Kranes 19 von den in der Beladeposition befindlichen Munitionswagen 12 auf die Höhe des Einschubrahmens 18 angehoben werden. In Figur 4 sind die angehobenen Raketenbehälter 10 dargestellt. Sie können in dieser Position vom Bedienpersonal, welches über die Leiter 17 auf die Arbeitsplattform 11 gelangt ist, in den Einschubrahmen 18 des Raketenwerfers 1 in die vorgesehene Position eingefädelt werden.To load the rocket launcher 1, the rocket containers 10 must be inserted into the rocket launcher 1. For this purpose, they must first be raised by means of a crane 19 shown in FIG. 5 from the ammunition shuttle 12 located in the loading position to the height of the slide-in frame 18. In Figure 4, the raised rocket containers 10 are shown. You can be threaded in this position by the operator, which is on the ladder 17 on the work platform 11, in the insertion frame 18 of the rocket launcher 1 in the intended position.

Wenn ein Raketenbehälter 10 leergeschossen ist, dreht der Raketenwerfer 1 aus der Abschussstellung zurück in die Parkstellung. Der Raketenbehälter 10 wird abgesenkt und auf einem leeren Munitionswagen 12 abgesetzt. Der Munitionswagen 12 mit dem leeren Raketenbehälter 10 wird zur Seite mit herausgezogenem Bolzen 16 gekurbelt und anschließend wieder mittels des Bolzens 16 verzurrt. Ein Munitionswagen 12 mit einem vollen Raketenbehälter 10 wird aus einer Parkposition in die Beladeposition im Wesentlichen unter den Einschubrahmen 18 gebracht, so dass der Raketenwerfer 1 mit dem Raketenbehälter 10 bestückt werden kann.When a rocket container 10 is empty shot, the rocket launcher 1 rotates from the firing position back to the park position. The rocket container 10 is lowered and placed on an empty ammunition wagon 12. The ammunition cart 12 with the empty rocket container 10 is cranked to the side with the bolt 16 pulled out and then lashed again by means of the bolt 16. An ammunition cart 12 with a full rocket container 10 is brought from a parking position to the loading position substantially below the drawer frame 18, so that the rocket launcher 1 can be equipped with the rocket container 10.

Der Munitionsraum 2 ist derart aufgebaut, dass alle gelagerten Raketenbehälter 10 dem Raketenwerfer 1 zugeführt werden können. Aus diesem Grund weist jede Führungsbahn 9, auf welcher sich jeweils drei Munitionswagen 12 befinden, eine Länge von mehr als vier Munitionswagenlängen auf, so dass stets mindestens ein Munitionswagen 12 mindestens um seine eigene Länge verschoben werden kann. Somit ist gewährleistet, dass auch die äußeren Munitionswagen 12 aus der Parkposition in die Beladeposition gebracht werden können.The ammunition space 2 is constructed such that all stored rocket containers 10 can be fed to the rocket launcher 1. For this reason, each guideway 9, on each of which three ammunition wagons 12 are located, has a length of more than four ammunition cart lengths, so that at least one ammunition cart 12 can always be displaced at least by its own length. This ensures that the outer ammunition wagon 12 can be brought from the parking position to the loading position.

Figur 5 zeigt die Waffenanlage in einer Seitenansicht ohne Hangar 3. Ein an dem Raketenwerfer 1 angeordneter Kran 19 mit einem Teleskopausleger greift mit einem Haken in eine Öse 23 des Raketenbehälters 10 ein und hebt ihn vom Munitionswagen 12. Durch einen Seilzug 45 können die Raketenbehälter vollständig in den Raketenwerfer 1 eingebracht werden. Der Raketenwerfer 1 ist auf einer Plattform 22 gelagert, welche den Raketenwerfer 1 in Elevation und Azimut verschwenken kann.Figure 5 shows the weapon system in a side view without hangar 3. A arranged on the rocket launcher 1 crane 19 with a telescopic boom engages with a hook in an eyelet 23 of the rocket container 10 and lifts it from the ammunition wagon 12. By a cable 45, the rocket containers completely be introduced into the rocket launcher 1. The rocket launcher 1 is mounted on a platform 22 which can pivot the rocket launcher 1 in elevation and azimuth.

Die Figur 6 zeigt den Raketenwerfer 1 in einer vorbereitenden Schussstellung. Um den Munitionsraum 2 vor Partikeln während des Abschussvorgangs zu schützen, wird ein Rollfenster 42 vor die Öffnung des Hangars 3 gebracht. Die in Figur 6 dargestellte Waffenanlage ist geringfügig gegenüber den vorhergehenden verändert dargestellt. Zur sicheren, verkantfreien Verschiebung ist der Munitionswagen 12 auf auf beiden Seiten des Munitionswagens 12 angeordneten Zahnstangen 20' gelagert, in welche zwei entsprechende Zahnräder eingreifen. Diese sind über eine Welle 47, welche unterhalb der Munitionswagen angeordnet ist, miteinander verbunden.FIG. 6 shows the rocket launcher 1 in a preparatory firing position. In order to protect the ammunition space 2 from particles during the launching process, a rolling window 42 is brought in front of the opening of the hangar 3. The weapon system shown in Figure 6 is shown slightly different from the previous changed. For safe, tilt-free displacement of the ammunition carriage 12 is mounted on both sides of the ammunition cart 12 arranged racks 20 ', in which engage two corresponding gears. These are connected to each other via a shaft 47, which is arranged below the ammunition cart.

Figur 7 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Waffenanlage in der Draufsicht, in welcher das Zahnprofil der Zahnstange 20 erkennbar ist, in welches die entsprechenden Zahnräder 21 der Munitionswagen 12 eingreifen.Figure 7 shows a section of the weapon system in plan view, in which the tooth profile of the rack 20 can be seen, in which engage the corresponding gears 21 of the ammunition wagon 12.

Die Figur 8 zeigt die in einem U-Profil laufenden Rollen 14 der Munitionswagen 12. Die Verschiebung wird mittels einer Kurbelvorrichtung 15 bewirkt, welche eine Lastmomentsperre (No-Back-System) aufweist.FIG. 8 shows the rollers 14 of the ammunition carriages 12 running in a U-profile. The displacement is effected by means of a crank device 15 which has a load-torque lock (no-back system).

In den Figur 9 und 10 ist die Anordnung der Waffenanlage auf einem Schiffsdeck 5 eines Schiffes dargestellt, wobei sich der Raketenwerfer 1 in der Schussstellung bzw. In der Parkstellung befindet. Wenn sich der Raketenwerfer 1 in der Parkstellung befindet (Fig. 10), wird zum Schutz gegen äußere Einflüsse eine Abdeckung 44 über den Raketenwerfer 1 gebracht.FIGS. 9 and 10 show the arrangement of the weapon system on a ship deck 5 of a ship, wherein the rocket launcher 1 is in the firing position or in the parking position. When the rocket launcher 1 is in the parking position (FIG. 10), a cover 44 is brought over the rocket launcher 1 for protection against external influences.
