Abstract

The vehicle (1) has at least one guide or rail (4) on the carrier vehicle or similar on which the carriage (2) or a carriage carrier can be guided. The gun carriage and/or the carriage carrier has rollers, preferably with low friction, and a hood on the upper part as a carriage carrier above a drive system region of the motor vehicle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lafette, die verschiebbar auf einem Träger bzw. Trägerfahrzeug gelagert ist, so dass diese von einer hinteren Transportposition in eine Schussposition geführt werden kann.The invention relates to a carriage, which is displaceably mounted on a carrier or carrier vehicle, so that it can be guided from a rear transport position to a firing position.

Bekannt sind u. a. aus der DE 197 58 494 A1 oder DE 690 02 138 T2 versenkbare bzw. absenkbare Lafetten, bei der die Lafette in der Regel von einer Transportposition in eine Schussposition verschwenkt wird.Are known, inter alia, from the DE 197 58 494 A1 or DE 690 02 138 T2 Retractable or lowerable carriages, in which the carriage is usually pivoted from a transport position to a firing position.

Die US 3 204 714 A betrifft ein extremlanges Fahrzeug mit einem Rumpf sowie Schienen wobei ein Artilleriegeschütz entlang dieserschienen über die gesamte Länge dieses Fahrzeuges verfahren werden kann.The US Pat. No. 3,204,714 A relates to an extremely long vehicle with a fuselage and rails whereby an artillery gun can be moved along these rails over the entire length of this vehicle.

Insbesondere bei Trägerfahrzeugen mit geringem Platzangebot ergibt sich das Problem der Anordnung einer Lafette auf dem Fahrzeugdach, ohne dass die Funktionen des Fahrzeugs als auch der Lafette eingeschränkt werden. Der Einbau auf dem Fahrerhaus hat den Vorteil, dass sie durch den Bediener leicht zu bedienen ist. Nachteilig sind jedoch eine Vorderachslast und ein ungenügender Einbauraum. Es kommt in der Regel zu einer ungewollten Enge. Eine Stationierung der Lafette weit hinter dem Fahrerhaus beeinflusst die Depression der Waffe auf der Lafette.In particular, in carrier vehicles with a small footprint, the problem arises of the arrangement of a carriage on the vehicle roof, without the functions of the vehicle and the carriage are limited. The installation on the cab has the advantage that it is easy to operate by the operator. However, a disadvantage is a front axle load and an insufficient installation space. It usually comes to an unwanted tightness. Stationing the gun carriage far behind the cab influences the weapon's depression on the gun carriage.

Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, vorgenannte Problematik zu lösen.Here, the invention has the task of solving the aforementioned problem.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezählt.Advantageous embodiments are enumerated in the subclaims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, insbesondere eine fernbedienbare Lafette verschiebbar auf dem Trägerfahrzeugdach zu halten, so dass sie sich beim Transport hinter dem Fahrerhaus befindet, in Funktion jedoch oberhalb bzw. in die Nähe des Fahrerhauses hingeführt werden kann. Zur Umsetzung dieser Idee wird auf dem Fahrzeugdach wenigstens eine Führung angebaut, über die die Lafette bzw. das Führungsteil in ihre Positionen geführt wird. Das Verschieben kann manuell als auch mit einem Antrieb erfolgen.The invention is based on the idea, in particular to keep a remote-controlled carriage slidably on the carrier vehicle roof so that it is located behind the cab during transport, but in function can be guided above or in the vicinity of the cab. To implement this idea, at least one guide is mounted on the vehicle roof, over which the carriage or the guide member is guided in their positions. Moving can be done manually or with a drive.

Die Lafette befindet sich auf einer Lufthaube oberhalb eines zwischen Fahrergehäuse und Mannschaftsraum befindlichen Triebwerksraumes und wird zusammen mit dieser verschoben. Haube als auch Lafette sind in verschiedenen Zwischensowie in den Endpositionen arretierbar.The carriage is located on an air duct above a located between the driver's cab and crew compartment engine room and is moved together with this. Hood and carriage are lockable in various intermediate as well as in the end positions.

Die Lafette bzw. die Haube kann auch für Wartungsarbeiten am Fahrzeug verschoben werden. Das ermöglicht beispielsweise die Wartung des Triebwerks unterhalb der Kampfposition der Lafette. Das Führungsteil selbst ist auch leicht demontierbar. Die Führung kann verschiedene Höhenniveaus besitzen.The carriage or the hood can also be moved for maintenance on the vehicle. This allows, for example, the maintenance of the engine below the combat position of the gun carriage. The guide itself is also easy to dismantle. The guide can have different height levels.

Das Verschieben der Lafette gestattet auch das Nachladen der Waffe von unten.Moving the carriage also allows reloading the weapon from below.

Es versteht sich, dass bei einer fernbedienbaren Lafette mit Waffe, diese in der so genannten Transportposition auch funktionsgemäß betreibbar ist, wozu die Lafette mit Waffe gedreht und die Waffe gerichtet wird. Die Verstellbarkeit der Lafette auf dem Fahrzeugdach ermöglicht somit auch die Rundum Verteidigung. In besondere Weise kann die Lafette mittig gehalten, in eine außermittige Position rechts und links auf dem Fahrzeugdach gebracht werden.It is understood that in a remote-controlled gun carriage, this is also operable in the so-called transport position, for which purpose the gun is turned with a weapon and the weapon is aimed. The adjustability of the mount on the vehicle roof thus allows the all-round defense. In particular, the carriage can be kept centered, placed in an off-center position right and left on the vehicle roof.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Trägerfahrzeug 1 für eine Lafette 2 mit Waffe 3 skizzenartig dargestellt. Die Lafette 2 mit Waffe 3 ist als gesamte Einheit beispielsweise auf einem Lafettenträger 2.1 verstellbar zwischen einer Position A und einer Position B. Dazu weist das Fahrzeug 1 Führungen bzw. Schienen 4 auf dem Fahrzeugdach 5 auf, auf bzw. in denen die Lafette 2 geführt wird (Fig. 2). Die Lafette 2 bzw. der Lafettenträger 2.1 besitzt vorzugsweise Rollen 10, die eine geringe Reibung besitzen, so dass auch eine manuelle Verschiebung der Lafette 2 möglich ist.In Fig. 1 is a carrier vehicle 1 for a carriage 2 with a weapon 3 sketchy. The carriage 2 with weapon 3 is as an entire unit, for example, on a relay carrier 2.1 adjustable between a position A and a position B. For this purpose, the vehicle 1 guides or rails 4 on the vehicle roof 5, on or in which the carriage 2 out becomes ( Fig. 2 ). The carriage 2 or the carriage carrier 2.1 preferably has rollers 10, which have a low friction, so that a manual displacement of the carriage 2 is possible.

Nach Fig. 3 ist die Lafette 2 auf dem Oberteil 6.1 einer Lufthaube 6 als Lafettenträger befestigt, die sich oberhalb eines Triebwerksraumes des Fahrzeuges 1 befindet, so dass die Lafette 2 Platz sparend auf dem Dach 5 angebracht werden kann. Die Lufthaube 6 weist des Weiteren ein Unterteil 6.2 auf. Die Lafette 2 wird zusammen mit dem Oberteil 6.1 der Lufthaube 6 beispielsweise auf Rollen 10 entlang der Führung bzw. Schienen 4 von einer Kampfposition in eine Fahrposition und zurück geführt. Bei der bevorzugten Variante ist durch die Konstruktion sichergestellt, dass eine ausreichende Luftzirkulierung (Fig. 3a) stattfinden kann.To Fig. 3 the carriage 2 is mounted on the upper part 6.1 of an air cap 6 as Lafettenträger, which is located above an engine room of the vehicle 1, so that the carriage 2 can be mounted to save space on the roof 5. The air cap 6 further has a lower part 6.2. The carriage 2 is guided together with the upper part 6.1 of the air cap 6, for example on rollers 10 along the guide or rails 4 from a combat position to a driving position and back. In the preferred variant, the construction ensures that sufficient air circulation ( Fig. 3a ) can take place.

Insbesondere in ihren Endpositionen ist die Lafette 2 arretierbar. Das Arretieren kann beispielsweise durch eine Klinke 11 oder ein Schloss gewährleistet werden. Auch elektrische Arretierungen, beispielsweise mittels Magneten oder dergleichen, sind nutzbar.Especially in their end positions the carriage 2 can be locked. The locking can be ensured for example by a pawl 11 or a lock. Also electrical locks, for example by means of magnets or the like, can be used.

Zwei weitere Varianten sind in Fig. 4 dargestellt. So kann in der Führung 7.1 die Lafette 2 beispielsweise von einer außermittigen Transportposition in eine mittige Kampfposition gefahren werden kann. Alternativ möglich sind auch zwei Führungen 7.1, 7.2 auf dem Fahrzeugdach 5, wobei Weichen 8 zwischen den Führungen 7.1 sowie 7.2 vorzusehen sind.Two other variants are in Fig. 4 shown. Thus, in the guide 7.1, the carriage 2 can be driven, for example, from an off-center transport position to a central combat position. Alternatively possible are also two guides 7.1, 7.2 on the vehicle roof 5, switches 8 are provided between the guides 7.1 and 7.2.
