Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein in ein militärisches Schiff integriertes, großkalibriges Geschütz, das mit dem Turm und der Waffenanlage einer Panzerhaubitze aufgebaut ist, mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an integrated into a military ship, large-caliber gun, which is constructed with the tower and the weapon system of a Panzerhaubitze, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Anordnung ist bekannt und beispielsweise in DE 10 254 786 A1 und WO 2004/048878 A1 beschrieben Ausgangspunkt des Oberbegriffes des Anspruchs 1.Such an arrangement is known and, for example, in DE 10 254 786 A1 and WO 2004/048878 A1 described starting point of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine bekannte Panzerhaubitze ist in EP 0 331 980 A1 beschrieben.A well-known Panzerhaubitze is in EP 0 331 980 A1 described.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein in ein militärisches Schiff integriertes, großkalibriges Geschütz mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 so weiterzubilden, dass ein vollautomatischer Transport der Geschosse aus einem Geschoßmagazin bis in den Bereich hinter der Waffe möglich ist, wobei die Anordnung möglichst platzsparend aufgebaut sein und ein möglichst rascher und reibungsloser Munitionsfluß erreicht werden sollte.The invention has the object of providing a built-in military ship, large-caliber gun with the features of the preamble of claim 1 so that a fully automatic transport of bullets from a bullet magazine into the area behind the weapon is possible, the arrangement should be constructed as space-saving and a rapid and smooth Munitionsfluß should be achieved.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe geschieht erfindungsgemäß mit der Merkmalskombination aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil von Patentanspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention with the feature combination of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Reihe von Merkmalen, die aus der oben zitierten Panzerhaubitze bekannt sind, auch bei einem in ein militärisches Schiff integriertem Geschütz zu übernehmen, sie aber durch weitere Merkmale zu ergänzen und insgesamt so anzupassen, dass eine für die Anwendung auf einem Schiff optimalisierte Gesamtlösung erhalten wird.A basic idea of the invention is to adopt a number of features which are known from the above-referenced howitzer, even in a gun integrated into a military ship, but to supplement it with further features and to adapt them overall so that one for the application on a ship optimized total solution is obtained.

Aus Gründen der besonderen Raumverhältnisse auf einem Schiff wird das Geschoßmagazin wesentlich tiefer angeordnet, als dies bei der bekannten Panzerhaubitze der Fall ist, nämlich unterhalb des Turmkorbbereiches. Aus diesem Grunde entfallen auch einige Merkmale der Geschoßzuführungsvorrichtung der bekannten Panzerhaubitze, nämlich die um eine horizontale Achse hochschwenkbare Bereitschaftsschale, in welche die Geschosse vom Geschoßtransporter eingelegt werden und von der aus sie direkt in die Ladeschale des Geschoßübergabearms überführt werden. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung werden die Geschosse vielmehr vom Geschoßtransporter einem Geschoßförderaufzug zugeführt, durch den sie von dem tiefer liegenden Geschoßmagazin in den Turmkorbbereich hineinbefördert und dort direkt in die Ladeschale des herabgeschwenkten Geschoßübergabearms eingeführt werden. Auf diese Weise läßt sich ein sehr rascher und reibungsloser, vollautomatischer Transport der Geschosse vom Geschoßmagazin in den Bereich hinter der Waffe erreichen. Der gesamte Geschoßtransport aus dem Geschoßmagazin bis in die Ladeposition kann automatisch erfolgen, gesteuert von an sich bekannten elektronischen Steuereinrichtungen. In an sich bekannter Weise können hierbei beispielsweise die Lagekoordinaten der Geschosse im Geschoßmagazin und weitere Geschoßdaten in einer Munitionsfluß-Logik abgespeichert sein, so dass bereits bei Betätigung des Geschoßtransporters die Positionen vorgegebener Geschosse angewählt werden können.For reasons of special space conditions on a ship, the projectile magazine is placed much lower than is the case with the known Panzerhaubitze, namely below the tower basket area. For this reason, also eliminates some features of the projectile feeding device known Panzerhaubitze, namely the pivotable about a horizontal axis ready shell, in which the projectiles are inserted from the projectile transporter and from which they are transferred directly into the loading tray of the projectile transfer arm. In the solution according to the invention, the projectiles are rather from the projectile transporter Projectile hoist fed by which they are conveyed from the lower floor projectile magazine in the tower basket area and there introduced directly into the loading tray of the lowered Geschoßübergabearms. In this way, a very fast and smooth, fully automatic transport of bullets from the bullet magazine in the area behind the weapon can be achieved. The entire projectile transport from the bullet magazine to the loading position can be done automatically, controlled by known electronic control devices. In a manner known per se, for example, the position coordinates of the projectiles in the projectile magazine and further projectile data can be stored in an ammunition flow logic, so that the positions of predefined projectiles can already be selected when the projectile transporter is actuated.

Im folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen ein Ausführungsbeispiel für ein in ein militärisches Schiff integriertes, großkalibriges Geschütz nach der Erfindung und der Ablauf der Zuführung der Geschosse aus dem Geschoßmagazin in die Ladeposition näher erläutert.In the following, an exemplary embodiment of an integrated into a military ship, large-caliber gun according to the invention and the process of feeding the projectiles from the bullet magazine is explained in more detail in the loading position.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer stark schematisierten Darstellung einen Teil des Schiffskörpers FR eines militärischen Schiffes, beispielsweise einer Fregatte, mit einem Schiffsdeck D, einem in den Schiffskörper integrierten, großkalibrigen Geschütz GT, das mit dem Turm und der Waffenanlage einer Panzerhaubitze aufgebaut ist, sowie weiteren Einrichtungen wie beispielsweise einer Artillerieraketenabschußvorrichtung AR und einem Ortungsgerät RA. Fig. 1 shows in a highly schematic representation of a part of the hull FR of a military ship, such as a frigate, with a ship deck D, integrated into the hull, large caliber gun GT, which is constructed with the tower and the weapon system of a howitzer howitzer, and other facilities such For example, a Artillerieraketenabschußvorrichtung AR and a tracking device RA.

Fig. 2 zeigt das in den Schiffskörper integrierte Geschütz in einer detaillierteren Darstellung. Fig. 2 shows the cannon integrated in the hull in a more detailed representation.

Auf dem Oberdeck D des Schiffskörpers ist der Turm GT des Geschützes angeordnet und über eine stoßdämpfende Lagerung L mit dem Schiffskörper verbunden. Diese an sich bekannte Lagerung L wird im folgenden nicht näher erläutert und es wird hierzu auf die eingangs zitierten Druckschriften verwiesen. Im Turm GT ist die in Elevation richtbare Waffe W angeordnet, an deren Schildzapfen 1 in bekannter Weise ein Geschoßübergabearm 2 schwenkbar gelagert ist, an dessen freiem Ende eine Ladeschale 3 angeordnet ist. Die Anordnung ist derart, dass sich, bei in nicht dargestellter Weise angehobenem Geschoßübergabearm 2, die Ladeschale 3 fluchtend zur Rohrseelenachse der Waffe steht, während im herabgeschwenkten Zustand des Geschoßübergabearms 2, wie er in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, die Ladeschale 3 senkrecht zum Boden des unterhalb des Turmes GT angeordneten Turmkorbbereiches TK ausgerichtet ist.On the upper deck D of the hull the turret GT of the gun is arranged and connected via a shock-absorbing storage L with the hull. This known storage L is not closer in the following explained and reference is made to the cited references. In the tower GT which can be directed in elevation weapon W is arranged on the trunnion 1 in a known manner a projectile transfer arm 2 is pivotally mounted, at the free end of a charging tray 3 is arranged. The arrangement is such that, in a manner not shown raised Geschoßübergabearm 2, the charging tray 3 is aligned with the Rohrselelenachse of the weapon, while in the swung-down state of the projectile transfer arm 2, as in Fig. 2 is shown, the charging tray 3 is aligned perpendicular to the bottom of the arranged below the tower GT tower basket area TK.

Unterhalb des Turmkorbbereiches TK ist ein Geschoßmagazin 4 angeordnet, in welchem allgemein mit Bezugsziffer 5 versehene Geschosse senkrecht zum Magazinboden stehend angeordnet sind und zwar so, dass, wie Fig. 4 zu entnehmen, zwischen den in im wesentlichen radialen Reihen ausgerichteten Geschossen 5 ein Durchgangsraum 4.1 freigelassen ist.Below the tower basket area TK a projectile magazine 4 is arranged, in which generally provided with reference numeral 5 projectiles are arranged perpendicular to the magazine floor standing in such a way that, as Fig. 4 can be seen between the aligned in substantially radial rows projectiles 5 a passage space 4.1 is released.

In diesem Durchgangsraum 4.1 ist ein Geschoßtransporter 6 angeordnet, der einen mindestens um eine Vertikalachse schwenkbaren Transportarm 6.1 aufweist, an dessen Ende eine schwenkbare Greifvorrichtung 6.2 angeordnet ist. Ein derartiger Geschoßtransporter ist an sich bekannt und beispielsweise in EP 0 331 980 A1 beschrieben.In this passage space 4.1 a projectile transporter 6 is arranged, which has a at least about a vertical axis pivotable transport arm 6.1, at the end of a pivotable gripping device is arranged 6.2. Such a projectile transporter is known per se and, for example, in EP 0 331 980 A1 described.

Um einen reibungslosen Munitionsfluß von diesem tiefer gelegten Geschoßmagazin 4 in den Bereich hinter der Waffe W zu ermöglichen, ist ein Geschoßförderaufzug 7 vorhanden, der sich in senkrechter Richtung zum Magazinboden vom Geschoßmagazin 4 ausgehend, in den Turmkorbbereich TK hineinerstreckt. Dieser Geschoßförderaufzug 7 besitzt ein als rückensteife Kette ausgebildetes Förderelement 7.1, an dem ein Hubteller angeordnet ist, der in Fig. 2 mit 7.2 bezeichnet ist. Der Hubteller 7.2 ist mittels des von einem Antriebsmotor 7.3 angetriebenen Förderelementes 7.1 in einer Richtung senkrecht zum Magazinboden nach oben und wieder zurück bewegbar.In order to allow a smooth flow of ammunition from this lowered level projectile magazine 4 in the area behind the weapon W, a projectile lift 7 is present, starting in the direction perpendicular to the magazine floor from the projectile magazine 4, in the tower basket area TK hineinerstreckt. This projectile hoist elevator 7 has a back-rigid chain formed conveying element 7.1, on which a lifting plate is arranged, in Fig. 2 is designated by 7.2. The lifting plate 7.2 is moved by means of the driven by a drive motor 7.3 conveying element 7.1 in a direction perpendicular to the magazine floor upwards and back again.

Die genauere Funktionsweise des Geschoßförderaufzugs 7 ist den Figuren 3 und 3 A zu entnehmen. In den Figuren 3 und 3 A sind verschiedene Phasen in der Funktionsweise des Geschoßförderaufzugs 7 in Verbindung mit der Ladeschale 3 des Geschoßübergabearms 2 gleichzeitig dargestellt. So ist der Hubteller 7.2 in Fig. 3 in seiner unteren Stellung innerhalb des Geschoßmagazins 4 mit 7.21 bezeichnet, während er in seiner oberen Stellung innerhalb des Turmkorbbereiches TK mit 7.22 bezeichnet ist.The more accurate operation of the projectile lift 7 is the FIGS. 3 and 3 A refer to. In the FIGS. 3 and 3 A different phases in the operation of the projectile lift 8 in conjunction with the charging tray 3 of the projectile transfer arm 2 are shown simultaneously. So the lifting plate is 7.2 in Fig. 3 in its lower position within the projectile magazine 4 denoted by 7.21, while it is designated in its upper position within the tower basket area TK 7.22.

In der unteren Stellung des Hubtellers 7.21 ist auf diesen ein Geschoß 5.1 aufgesetzt, das mittels des Geschoßförderaufzuges nach oben gefördert und in die Ladeschale 3 des Geschoßübergabearms 2 eingeführt wird. In der oberen Position, in welcher der Hubteller mit 7.22 bezeichnet ist, trägt das Geschoß die Bezugsziffer 5.2.In the lower position of the lifting plate 7.21 is placed on this a projectile 5.1, which is conveyed by means of the projectile hoist elevator upwards and inserted into the charging tray 3 of the projectile transfer arm 2. In the upper position, in which the lifting plate is denoted by 7.22, the projectile carries the reference number 5.2.

In der herabgeschwenkten Stellung des Geschoßübergabearms 2 ist die Ladeschale 3 fluchtend zur Bewegungsrichtung des Hubtellers 7.21 beziehungsweise 7.22 angeordnet.In the lowered position of the projectile transfer arm 2, the charging tray 3 is arranged in alignment with the direction of movement of the lifting plate 7.21 or 7.22.

Im folgenden wird die genauere Ausbildung der Ladeschale 3 und des Hubtellers 7.21 beziehungsweise 7.22 beschrieben, durch welche die Förderung des Geschosses in die Ladeschale 3 und das Festhalten des Geschosses in der Ladeschale 3 zum weiteren Hochschwenken in den Bereich hinter der Waffe ermöglicht wird.In the following, the more detailed design of the charging tray 3 and the lifting plate 7.21 or 7.22 described by which the promotion of the projectile in the charging tray 3 and the detention of the projectile in the Charging tray 3 for further pivoting in the area behind the weapon is possible.

Der Hubteller 7.21 beziehungsweise 7.22 des Geschoßförderaufzugs 7 ist als ein erster Halbteller ausgebildet, auf dem sich das Geschoß 5.1 beziehungsweise 5.2 mit einem Teil des Geschoßbodens abstützt. Die Ladeschale 3 besitzt als Geschoßhaltevorrichtung einen im wesentlichen komplementär zum als erster Halbteller gestalteten Hubteller ausgebildeten zweiten Halbteller 3.1, der um eine parallel zur Längsachse der Ladeschale verlaufende Schwenkachse aus einer in Fig. 3 A dargestellten Offenstellung in eine in Fig. 3 dargestellte Geschlossenstellung verschwenkbar ist. In der Offenstellung ist das Geschoß 5.2 lediglich vom Hubteller 7.22 an seinem Boden abgestützt. In dieser Stellung kann das Geschoß 5.2 im Zuge seiner Aufwärtsbewegung unbehindert in die Ladeschale 3 eingeführt werden. Sobald sich das Geschoß 5.2 in der Ladeschale 3 befindet, schwenkt der Halbteller 3.1 der Geschoßhaltevorrichtung aus der Offenstellung (Fig. 3 A) in die Geschlossenstellung (Fig. 3). In dieser Stellung ist das Geschoß 5.2 sowohl durch den Hubteller 7.22, als auch durch den Halbteller 3.1 der Geschoßhaltevorrichtung am Boden abgestützt. Der Hubteller kann nunmehr nach unten zurückgefahren werden, während das Geschoß 5.2 in der Ladeschale 3 festgehalten wird. Nun kann der Geschoßübergabearm 2 um die Schildzapfenachse 1 in Richtung 1.1 nach oben geschwenkt werden in die nicht dargestellte Position hinter der Waffe, in welcher die Längsachse der Ladeschale 3 fluchtend zur Rohrseelenachse der Waffe W steht.The lifting plate 7.21 or 7.22 of the projectile lift 7 is designed as a first half-plate on which the projectile 5.1 or 5.2 is supported with a portion of the basement floor. The loading tray 3 has as a projectile holding device a substantially complementary to the designed as a first half-dish lifting plate formed second half-plate 3.1, which extends about a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the charging tray pivot axis of a in Fig. 3 A shown open position in an in Fig. 3 shown closed position is pivotable. In the open position, the projectile 5.2 is supported only by the lifting plate 7.22 at its bottom. In this position, the projectile 5.2 can be freely introduced into the charging cradle 3 in the course of its upward movement. As soon as the projectile 5.2 is in the loading tray 3, the half-plate 3.1 pivots the projectile holding device from the open position ( Fig. 3 A) into the closed position ( Fig. 3 ). In this position, the projectile 5.2 is supported both by the lifting plate 7.22, as well as by the half-plate 3.1 of the projectile holding device on the ground. The lifting plate can now be moved back down while the projectile 5.2 is held in the charging tray 3. Now the projectile transfer arm 2 can be pivoted about the trunnion axis 1 in the direction of 1.1 upwards into the position, not shown, behind the weapon, in which the longitudinal axis of the charging cradle 3 is aligned with the tube axis of the weapon W.

Die Zuführung des Geschosses 5.1, zu dem sich in der unteren Stellung befindenden Hubteller 7.2, erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise, indem der Geschoßtransporter 6 (Fig. 4) mittels der Greifvorrichtung 6.2 eines der Geschosse 5 aus dem Geschoßmagazin 4 ergreift, es in Richtung auf den Geschoßförderaufzug 7 bewegt und auf den Hubteller 7.21 in der unteren Position aufsetzt.The feeding of the projectile 5.1, which is located in the lower position Hubteller 7.2, takes place in a conventional manner by the Projectile transporter 6 ( Fig. 4 ) grips by means of the gripping device 6.2 one of the projectiles 5 from the projectile magazine 4, it moves in the direction of the projectile hoist elevator 7 and touches the lifting plate 7.21 in the lower position.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist weiterhin eine Treibladungsfödereinrichtung 8 vorgesehen, die sich parallel zum Geschoßförderaufzug 7 in senkrechter Richtung zum Magazinboden vom Geschoßmagazin 4 ausgehend in den Turmkorbbereich TK hinein erstreckt. Durch sie können in einem unterhalb des Turmkorbbereiches angeordneten zusätzlichen Treibladungsmagazin angeordnete Treibladungen in den Turmkorbbereich gefördert werden.In the illustrated embodiment, a Treibladungsfödereinrichtung 8 is further provided, which extends parallel to the projectile hoist elevator 7 in the direction perpendicular to the magazine floor from the projectile magazine 4, starting in the tower basket area TK inside. Through them, propellant charges arranged in an additional propellant charge magazine arranged below the tower basket area can be conveyed into the tower basket area.

Weiterhin können Treibladungen in einem am Turm GT angeordneten Treibladungsmagazin 10 gelagert sein.Furthermore, propellant charges may be stored in a propellant charge magazine 10 arranged on the tower GT.

Im Geschoßmagazin 4 ist zusätzlich eine Beladeeinrichtung 9 angeordnet, mittels der Geschosse von der Seite her dem Geschoßmagazin 4 zugeführt, oder vom ihm abgeführt werden können.In the projectile magazine 4, a loading device 9 is additionally arranged, fed by means of the projectiles from the side of the projectile magazine 4, or can be discharged from it.

Die dem Geschoßmagazin 4 zuzuführenden Geschosse werden aus einem nicht dargestellten, auf einer tieferen Ebene des Schiffes angeordneten Munitionsbunker mittels eines Munitionsaufzugs 11 (Fig. 2) auf die Ebene des Geschoßmagazins 4 befördert. Sie sind auf einem Wagen 11.1 angeordnet, der auf einer Führungsbahn 11.2 auf das Geschoßmagazin 4 zubewegbar ist. Die Geschosse werden dann von einer Bedienungsperson vom Wagen 11.1 mittels einer Geschoßgreifvorrichtung 13 abgenommen, die an einer Verfahrenseinrichtung mit Hubeinrichtung 12 angeordnet ist und mittels letzterer in Pfeilrichtung P der Beladeeinrichtung 9 zugeführt, von der sie mittels des Geschoßtransporters 6 abgenommen und ihren Abstellplätzen im Geschoßmagazin 4 zugeführt werden. Ein Entladen des Geschoßmagazins 4 ist in umgekehrter Reihenfolge der Vorgänge möglich.The projectile magazine 4 to be supplied bullets from an ammunition bunker, not shown, arranged on a lower level of the ship by means of a ammunition elevator 11 ( Fig. 2 ) is conveyed to the level of the bullet magazine 4. They are arranged on a carriage 11.1, which is zubewegbar on a guideway 11.2 on the projectile magazine 4. The projectiles are then removed by an operator from the carriage 11.1 by means of a projectile gripper 13, which is arranged on a process device with lifting device 12 and by means of the latter in the direction of arrow P of the loading device 9, from which they are removed by means of the projectile transporter 6 and their parking spaces in the projectile magazine 4 are supplied. A discharge of the projectile magazine 4 is possible in reverse order of operations.

Da bei allen Greif- und Umladungsvorgängen unvorhergesehene Bewegungen des Schiffes auftreten können, muß dafür gesorgt werden, dass insbesondere die ein hohes Gewicht aufweisenden Geschosse nicht in eine unkontrollierte Bewegung geraten können. Aus diesem Grunde ist die Verfahreinrichtung mit Hubeinrichtung 12 mit einem Bremshebel 12.1 versehen, durch welche sie und das Geschoß augenblicklich festgehalten werden, wenn etwa die Bedienungsperson B infolge einer Schiffsbewegung die manuell betätigbare Geschoßgreifvorrichtung 13 losläßt.Since unforeseen movements of the ship can occur during all gripping and transhipment operations, it must be ensured that in particular the high-weight projectiles can not get into an uncontrolled movement. For this reason, the traversing device is provided with lifting device 12 with a brake lever 12.1, by which they and the projectile are held instantaneously when about the operator B releases the manually operable projectile gripper device 13 as a result of a ship movement.
