Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lafette oder Turm für eine Waffe, die beispielsweise auf einem Wannendach eines Fahrzeuges angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a carriage or tower for a weapon, which is arranged for example on a canopy of a vehicle.

Aus der DE 31 08 132 A1 ist eine Gelenklafette für Panzerfahrzeuge bekannt, deren Waffenaufnahme an einem aus Panzerglas bestehenden Block zentrisch angeordnet ist und sich mit diesem bewegt. Der Block ist kardanisch bzw. in einem Kreuzgelenk gelagert. Dadurch werden Toträume vermieden und eine gute Rundumverteidigung des Fahrzeuges erreicht.From the DE 31 08 132 A1 is a Gelenklafette known for armored vehicles, the weapon mount is centrally located on an existing armored glass block and moves with this. The block is cardan or stored in a universal joint. This dead spaces are avoided and achieved a good all-round defense of the vehicle.

Mit der DE 199 27 656 A1 wird ein gepanzertes Transportfahrzeug mit einer über einen Drehkranz auf dem Dach gelagerten Lafette offenbart. Die zur Fernbedienung erforderliche elektrische Energie und elektrische Signale werden über einen Schleifring in den Schartenturm übertragen.With the DE 199 27 656 A1 an armored transport vehicle is disclosed with a mounted on a roof on a roof carriage. The electrical energy and electrical signals required for the remote control are transmitted via a slip ring to the ignition tower.

Die US 5,353,680 A betrifft eine Waffe, die auf einem Turm an einem gepanzerten Fahrzeug montiert werden kann. Dieser ist um eine Turmachse drehbar. Ein drehbares Anbauteil ist des Weiteren im Bereich einer Öffnung im Fahrzeugdach eingebunden. Eine Lukenabdeckung ist in einem Teilbereich des drehbaren Anbauteils angebracht. Vor der Lukenabdeckung ist die Waffe angeordnet, die gegenüber dem drehbaren Anbauteil verstellt (verdreht) werden. Die Energieübertragung zur Waffe selbst erfolgt durch einen Schleifring. Die Drehbewegung des Anbauteils ist dabei unabhängig von der Drehbewegung der Luke.The US 5,353,680 A refers to a weapon that can be mounted on a tower on an armored vehicle. This is rotatable about a tower axis. A rotatable attachment is further integrated in the region of an opening in the vehicle roof. A hatch cover is mounted in a portion of the rotatable attachment. Before the hatch cover, the weapon is arranged, which are adjusted (twisted) relative to the rotatable attachment. The energy transfer to the weapon itself is made by a slip ring. The rotational movement of the attachment is independent of the rotational movement of the hatch.

Die DE 31 22 696 A1 offenbart eine Lafette gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1; sie beschäftigt sich mit einer Lafette für Maschinengewehre oder ähnliche Waffen. Diese ist mit zwei um eine senkrechte Achse zueinander versetzt verschwenkbaren und in der Höhe zueinander versetzten Schwenkarmen ausgebildet. Der untere Schwenkarm ist mit seinem freien Ende schwenkbar auf einem feststehenden senkrechten Lagerzapfen gelagert. Der obere, als vertikal verstellbarer Parallelogramm-Rahmen ausgebildete Schwenkarm weist an seinem freien Ende eine Aufnahme zur drehbaren Befestigung einer Traggabel für die Waffe auf. Die Lafette besitzt ein erstes Kettenrad, das über Ketten mit einem zweiten Kettenrad verbunden ist. Dabei kann der erste Schwenkarm um einen Schwenkzapfen verschwenkt werden und der zweite Schwenkarm um einen Drehzapfen. Sperrklinken ermöglichen das voneinander unabhängige Verschwenken der Schwenkarme.The DE 31 22 696 A1 discloses a carriage according to the preamble of claim 1; she deals with a machine gun or similar gun carriage. This is formed with two about a vertical axis offset from one another pivotable and mutually offset in height pivot arms. The lower pivot arm is pivotable with its free end on a stationary vertical journal stored. The upper, designed as a vertically adjustable parallelogram frame pivot arm has at its free end a receptacle for rotatably mounting a support fork for the weapon. The carriage has a first sprocket, which is connected via chains with a second sprocket. In this case, the first pivot arm can be pivoted about a pivot pin and the second pivot arm about a pivot. Pawls allow independent pivoting of the pivot arms.

Die EP 0 899 533 A2 beschreibt eine Schwenklafette auf einem Träger, der vor einer Luke eines Turmes angeordnet ist. An der Oberseite des Trägers ist ein Drehlager angebracht, in dem ein Schwenkarm mit seinem vorderen Ende drehbar gelagert ist. Dieser Schwenkarm trägt an seinem hinteren Ende eine Schwenk- und Gewichtsausgleicheinrichtung, an der ein Maschinengewehr schwenkbar gelagert ist.The EP 0 899 533 A2 describes a Schwenklafette on a support, which is arranged in front of a hatch of a tower. At the top of the carrier, a pivot bearing is mounted, in which a pivot arm is rotatably mounted with its front end. This swivel arm carries at its rear end a pivoting and counterbalance device on which a machine gun is pivotally mounted.

Die EP 0 878 686 A2 betrifft ein Waffenkontrollsystem mit einer Waffenstabilisierung.The EP 0 878 686 A2 concerns a weapons control system with arms stabilization.

Bei auf Fahrzeugen lafettierten Waffen, die über keine Schleifringübertrager verfügen, werden die Ströme und elektrischen Signale über Kabel zur Wanne übertragen. Der Richtbereich wird dadurch eingeschränkt, dass das / die Kabel der Lafette bei der Drehbewegung in der horizontalen Ebene umschlingen und den Bediener der Lafette behindern. Es ist bekannt, bei auf Fahrzeugen lafettierten Geschützen ohne Schieifringübertrager die Kabel in einer Energieführungskette oder einem starren Kanal um den Bediener der Waffe herumzuführen und einen Längenausgleich an einer geeigneten Stelle beispielsweise durch Bildung einer Schlaufe etc. vorzusehen. Das / die Kabel werden daher in der Praxis an einer mit der Lafette mit drehenden Einrichtung nach unten geführt und durch eine spiralförmige Ausbildung in die Lage versetzt, dass sich die Lafette drehen kann, ohne dass eine Umschlingung oder Behinderung des Bedieners stattfinden kann.In weapons lafettierten on vehicles that do not have slip ring, the currents and electrical signals are transmitted via cable to the tub. The straightening range is limited by the fact that the / the cables of the carriage wrap around in the horizontal plane during rotation and hinder the operator of the carriage. It is known to lead around the operator of the weapon in lafettierten guns without Schieifringübertrager the cable in an energy guide chain or a rigid channel and provide a length compensation at a suitable location, for example by forming a loop, etc. The cable (s) are therefore guided in practice on a device with the rotating device down and made by a spiral training in the situation that the carriage can rotate without a wrap or obstruction of the operator can take place.

Nachteilig ist, dass das / die nach unten geführten Kabel mit dessen Halterung einen großen Störbereich im Fahrzeuginneren bewirken, was eine Nutzung dieses Raumes für Personen und/oder zur Verstauung von Gegenständen unmöglich macht. Die um die Lafette verlegten Kabel mit dem erforderlichen Längenausgleich stören die Sicht und die Bewegungsfreiheit des Bedieners und beansprucht viel Freiraum.It is disadvantageous that the cable (s) guided downwards with its holder cause a large interference area in the vehicle interior, which makes it impossible to use this space for persons and / or for the stowage of objects. The laid around the gun carriage Cables with the required length compensation interfere with the operator's vision and freedom of movement and take up a great deal of free space.

Die DE 197 51 305 A1 betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Höhen- und Seitenausrichtung einer Lafette, die gegenüber einem feststehenden Bedienstand verdrehbar ist. Die Höhenausrichtung erfolgt über einen Antriebsstrang. Ein dabei verwendeter Zwischenring ist konzentrisch zur Drehachse der Lafette angeordnet. Der dabei gebildete Hohlraum kann als Durchführung für Betätigungseinrichtungen eines Geschützes und/oder Kabel beispielsweise einer Videokamera zum Visieren dienen.The DE 197 51 305 A1 relates to a device for height and lateral alignment of a carriage, which is rotatable relative to a stationary operator. The height adjustment takes place via a drive train. A used here intermediate ring is arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the carriage. The cavity formed in this case can serve as a passage for actuating devices of a gun and / or cable, for example, a video camera for sighting.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit aufzuzeigen, die es ermöglicht, dass das / die Kabel einer Lafette weder den Raum im Fahrzeuginneren beschneiden, noch die Lafette oder den Bediener beim Drehen in der horizontalen Ebene in der Sicht oder Beweglichkeit behindern.The invention has for its object to provide a way that allows the / the cable of a carriage neither circumvent the space in the vehicle interior, nor hinder the carriage or the operator when turning in the horizontal plane in the view or mobility.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im Wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, die Richtbewegung der Lafette mit Waffe und Waffenrohr von der Richtbewegung der Waffe selbst derart zu trennen, dass eine Bewegung in azimutaler Achse durch ein Seitendrehlager (Primärachse) der Lafette eingeleitet wird, die Waffe jedoch dann über eine eigene horizontale Drehachse (Sekundärachse) weiter oder zurück gedreht und dabei gerichtet wird.The invention is based essentially on the idea to separate the directional movement of the carriage with weapon and gun barrel of the directional movement of the weapon itself such that a movement in azimuthal axis by a side rotary bearing (primary axis) of the mount is initiated, the weapon but then on a own horizontal axis of rotation (secondary axis) turned back or further and thereby directed.

Die Waffe wird über ein zweites Seitendrehlager durch ein Getriebe zwangsweise von einem Primärantrieb gesteuert.The weapon is controlled via a second side pivot bearing by a transmission forcibly by a prime mover.

Prinzipiell befindet sich die Sekundärachse in einem beliebigen Abstand zur Primärachse, ist damit frei wählbar anbringbar.In principle, the secondary axis is located at any distance from the primary axis, so it can be attached freely selectable.

Die Drehbewegung um die Primärachse wird durch eine elektrisch, hydraulisch oder von Hand angetriebene Einheit eingeleitet. Die um die Sekundärachse drehbar gelagerte Waffenhalterung wird dabei mittels Übersetzungen oder Untersetzungen mit verschwenkt. Die Waffe kann aus der Ausgangsstellung heraus voreilen oder zurückbleiben.The rotational movement about the primary axis is initiated by an electrically, hydraulically or manually driven unit. The rotatably mounted around the secondary axis weapon mount is pivoted by means of translations or ratios with. The weapon can lead from the starting position or lag behind.

Durch eine derartige, aus zwei voneinander beabstandeten und parallel zueinander angeordneten Drehachsen bestehende Anordnung wird erreicht, dass durch eine Über-/Untersetzung der Primärachse zur Sekundärachse der Richtwinkel der Primärachse verringert und somit auch der Raum für die Kabel zur Informations- und Energieübertragung deutlich reduziert werden kann.By such, consisting of two spaced-apart and mutually parallel axes of rotation existing arrangement is achieved that reduced by a transmission / reduction of the primary axis to the secondary axis of the directional angle of the primary axis and thus the space for the cables for information and energy transmission can be significantly reduced can.

Ausgangsposition einen Änderung von λ2 eingenommen hat.In Fig. 4 are the weapon 1 with gun barrel 2, the upper mount 3, the base plate 5 and the hatch cover 4 rotated by an angle κ 2 , the weapon 1 with gun barrel 2 and upper mount 3 itself by a further angle η 1 , so that is sum the weapon. 1 With weapon barrel 2 opposite the rest or starting position has taken a change of λ 2 .

Die Waffe 1 eilt aus der Ausgangsstellung heraus einmal voraus (Fig. 3) oder kann zurück bleiben (Fig. 4).The weapon 1 rushes out of the starting position once ahead ( Fig. 3 ) or can stay behind ( Fig. 4 ).

Fig. 5 zeigt die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei eine erste Anbindung an ein Wannendach 14, die sich gegenüber einer weiteren insbesondere durch den zusätzlichen Antrieb 11.1 unterscheidet. Das Seitenrichtlager 7 ist mit einer Wannenzarge 15 des Wannendachs 4 starr verbundenen. Die zweite Seitenrichtachse, d.h., die Sekundärachse 9 wird hier durch ein Getriebe 11.1 angetrieben. Als Primärantrieb 8 ist hier beispielsweise ein herkömmlicher elektrischer Antrieb (Motor) vorgesehen. Die Drehbewegung wird über Zahnräder 11.1.1 und 11.1.2 zur Über- oder Untersetzung (umschaltbar) auf ein weiteres Zahnrad 11.1.3 des Getriebes 11.1 übertragen. Dieses Zahnrad 11.1.3 überträgt seinerseits die Drehbewegung auf das Sekundär-Seitendrehlager 10 der Waffe 1. Die Waffe 1 wird dann entsprechend der Über- / Untersetzung gedreht. Fig. 5 shows the invention according to claim 1, wherein a first connection to a trough 14, which differs from another, in particular by the additional drive 11.1. The Seitenrichtlager 7 is rigidly connected to a tub frame 15 of the tub roof 4. The second side pointing axis, ie, the secondary axis 9 is driven here by a gear 11.1. As a prime mover 8, for example, a conventional electric drive (motor) is provided here. The rotational movement is transmitted via gears 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 for over- or reduction (switchable) to another gear 11.1.3 of the transmission 11.1. This gear 11.1.3 in turn transmits the rotational movement to the secondary side pivot bearing 10 of the weapon 1. The weapon 1 is then rotated according to the transmission / reduction.

Das Zusammenwirken der Übertragungen ist in Fig. 6 und Fig. 7 näher dargestellt. Fig. 6 zeigt das System in der Ausgangs- bzw. Ruhelage, Fig. 7 in einer verschwenkten Stellung. An der Grundplatte 5 befindet sich der elektrische Antrieb 8 (Fig. 5), dessen Ritzel Z1 in die Innenverzahnung Z2 des mit der Wannenzarge 15 starr verbundenen Außenring des Seitendrehlagers 7 eingreift. Somit drehen sich Waffe 1 mit Waffenrohr 2, die Oberlafette 3, die Grundplatte 5 und der Lukendeckel 4 zusammen mit dem Antrieb 8 um die Primärachse 6 um einen ersten Winkel β. Durch das Getriebe 11.1 (in diesem Fall bestehend aus den Zahnrädern 11.1.1 bis 11.1.3 bzw. Z4, Z5, Z6) ändert sich die Übersetzung und die Drehrichtung γ. Die Waffe 1 mit Waffenrohr 2 wird dann zusammen mit der Oberlafette 3 um die Sekundärachse 9 (Sekundärdrehpunkt 12) relativ zum Wannendach (Turm) um einen Winkel δ verdreht. Das Gesamtsystem (20) ist um einen Gesamtwinkel ε aus der Primärachse 6 gedreht worden.The interaction of the transfers is in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shown in more detail. Fig. 6 shows the system in the initial or rest position, Fig. 7 in a pivoted position. On the base plate 5 is the electric drive 8 ( Fig. 5 ), whose pinion Z1 engages in the internal toothing Z2 of the outer ring of the side rotary bearing 7 rigidly connected to the tub frame 15. Thus, weapon 1 rotate with gun barrel 2, the upper mount 3, the base plate 5 and the hatch cover 4 together with the drive 8 to the primary axis 6 by a first angle β. By the transmission 11.1 (in this case consisting of the gears 11.1.1 to 11.1.3 or Z4, Z5, Z6), the translation and the direction of rotation γ changes. The weapon 1 with gun barrel 2 is then rotated together with the upper mount 3 to the secondary axis 9 (secondary pivot point 12) relative to the trough (tower) by an angle δ. The overall system (20) has been rotated by a total angle ε from the primary axis 6.

Im weiteren nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 8 und 9 ist der Sekundärantrieb 11 ein vom Primärantrieb 8 entkoppeltes System (nicht näher dargestellt). An der Grundplatte 5 befindet sich auch hier ein erster Antrieb 8, dessen Ritzel Z1' in die Innenverzahnung Z2' des mit der Wannenzarge 15 starr verbundenen Außenring des Primär- Seitendrehlagers 7 eingreift. Es drehen sich Waffe 1 mit Waffenrohr 2, die Oberlafette 3, die Grundplatte 5 und der Lukendeckel 4 zusammen mit dem Antrieb 8 um die Primärachse 6 um den Winkel β. Durch den zusätzlichen Antrieb 11, beispielsweise ein elektrischer Motor, kann über das Ritzel Z3' die Übersetzung und Drehrichtung γ verändert werden, welches in die Verzahnung Z4' am Seitendrehlager 10 (wannen- bzw. turmfest) eingreift. Die Waffe 1 mit Waffenrohr 2 und Oberlafette 3 lassen sich durch den Antrieb 11 zusätzlich um die Sekundärachse 9 relativ zum Fahrzeug um den Winkel δ verdrehen. Das Gesamtsystem (20) ist um einen Gesamtwinkel ε aus der Mittenachse heraus gedreht worden.In another embodiment not according to the invention 8 and 9 the secondary drive 11 is a system decoupled from the primary drive 8 (not shown in detail). On the base plate 5 is also here a first drive 8, the pinion Z1 'engages in the internal teeth Z2' of the rigidly connected to the tub frame 15 outer ring of the primary side pivot bearing 7. It turn weapon 1 with gun barrel 2, the upper mount 3, the base plate 5 and the hatch cover 4 together with the drive 8 to the primary axis 6 by the angle β. By means of the additional drive 11, for example an electric motor, the ratio and direction of rotation γ can be changed via the pinion Z3 ', which meshes with the toothing Z4' on the side end bearing 10 (trough- or tower-mounted). The weapon 1 with gun barrel 2 and upper mount 3 can be rotated by the drive 11 in addition to the secondary axis 9 relative to the vehicle by the angle δ. The overall system (20) has been rotated out of the center axis by a total angle ε.

Bezogen auf die Primärachse 6 dreht sich die Waffe 1 in beiden Fällen um einen Winkel ε = β + δ. In einem Zahlenbeispiel würde ein Drehwinkel α des Antriebs 8 von 64° eine Änderung der Waffe 1 mit Waffenrohr 2 (und Oberlafette 3) von 20° um die Primärachse 6 bewirken, die damit verbundene zwangsgesteuerte Winkelbewegung δ von 15° um die Sekundärachse 9 eine Winkelstellung ε der Waffe 1 zur Primärachse 6 von 35°.Relative to the primary axis 6, the weapon 1 rotates in both cases by an angle ε = β + δ. In a numerical example, a rotation angle α of the drive 8 of 64 ° would cause a change of the weapon 1 with gun barrel 2 (and upper mount 3) of 20 ° about the primary axis 6, the associated positively controlled angular movement δ of 15 ° about the secondary axis 9 an angular position ε of the weapon 1 to the primary axis 6 of 35 °.

Es versteht sich, dass die hier erwähnte Lafette 20 bzw. die damit verbundene Prinzip der Verdrehung der Waffe auch in einem Turm integriert werden kann, welcher durch ein Primärseitendrehlager gedreht wird.It is understood that the carriage mentioned here 20 or the associated principle of twisting the weapon can also be integrated in a tower, which is rotated by a primary side pivot bearing.
