Definitions

  • revolver guns known today especially in the mid-caliber range, usually have a self-propelled, revolver guns with gas propulsion are self-propelled guns.
  • the hot powder gases are removed from the gun barrel via nozzles and returned in such a way that they drive the guns or parts of the ammunition feed.
  • the ignition of the cartridges is done either mechanically or electrically.
  • a mechanical weapon extractor in particular for a machine gun with self-propulsion is known, which has a pivotally mounted in the housing and in the movement path of the closure and movable away from this catch lever.
  • a trigger is incorporated, which can be brought into operative connection with an associated release lever.
  • a lock lever acted upon by the trigger and / or trigger. The locking lever is arranged so that it positively locks the catch lever in the release position of the closure and positively assumes the catching lever in the catching position of the closure.
  • the DE 313 166 C discloses a firing device for aircraft guns with knee joint closure.
  • machine guns of this type when applied to airplanes, these have the disadvantage, even with automatic control of the propeller shaft, that the helixes are often hit when shooting through the propeller runway.
  • a removal of the trigger pawl becomes possible only after complete closing of the knee joint closure.
  • an organ is attached to the pin of the knee joint that sets the trigger pawl out of action by its adjustment of the closure. This can be done by hand from the driver's seat.
  • an electromagnet is provided for the electrically driven extraction device.
  • the DE 312 236 C relates to a control of a firing device for machine guns, which are arranged on aircraft so that their run approximately parallel to the propeller shaft and shoot through the circular area described by the propeller.
  • the circuit for delivering a shot is closed only when the contacts of a breaker are closed. This assumes that the closure of the machine gun is completely closed.
  • a control device of the shot rate of a machine gun is known.
  • the control device in turn serves to produce evenly distributed current pulses at a rate lower than the high rates of the firing mechanism so as to reduce the firing rate of such weapons.
  • the trigger mechanism In a mechanical ignition of the cartridge, the trigger mechanism is known to be tensioned and triggered by the mechanics of the cannon.
  • the interaction between the gas drive, the gun mechanism and the trigger mechanism results in a typical firing cadence, which as a rule can not be directly influenced. However, this is done by external factors such as the outside and / or ammunition temperature, the temperature at the gas extraction or the lubrication of the weapon. These external factors can thus have an influence on the dynamic behavior of the weapon through scattering, deviation of the mean meeting point from the target, etc. With increasing warming of the weapon, the cadence increases in continuous fire.
  • the invention has the object to show a way with which a clocked shot triggering can be carried out in a mechanical ignition.
  • the invention is based on the idea of integrating a cadence control into the mechanical system, in particular for rapid single fire, whereby an arbitrarily lower cadence can be achieved.
  • the trigger mechanism of the mechanical ignition triggering is additionally provided with an actuator, for. b. Electromagnet supplemented, which allows to catch the trigger and let go at the desired time again. This allows a variable shot sequence.
  • the mechanical trigger mechanism is supplemented by a fast individual magnet, with which the percussion hammer can be caught and released again with each shot.
  • the solenoid is controlled so that each shot can be triggered at the desired time.
  • the firing is fundamentally independent of the mechanical cycle of the weapon, as long as it is faster than the trigger mechanism.
  • the functionality of the weapon is also increased by the fact that an upper limit of the firing cadence can be set and adhered to, which also includes a cadence control in continuous firing.
  • the clocked shot triggering enables the maintenance of a minimum deposit to the target or the achievement of an optimal scattering.
  • the sole figure shows a mechanical trigger mechanism 10, which is supplemented by a fast electromagnet 2 with a plunger 1, a coil 9 and a spring 8 in order to achieve a timed shot triggering.
  • 5 is a tensioned spring and 4 a projection of the trigger mechanism 10 is marked.
  • a percussion hammer 6 which is stretched by the mechanics of the cannon on the clamping lever 7 at each firing cycle, caught by a lever 3 of the trigger mechanism 10 at each shot and released.
  • the electromagnet 2 is driven in such a way electronically by a circuit arrangement, not shown, that each shot can be triggered at the desired time.
  • a software also allows a variable shot sequence.
