Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weapon station, in particular for arrangement on military vehicles, with a primary weapon and a secondary weapon, which can be elevated via a common drive.
  • Weapon stations of this type are arranged for protection purposes on various objects, such as buildings, ships and in particular military vehicles and consist of a large-caliber primary weapon and a secondary weapon smaller caliber, such as a machine gun.
  • the weapon stations are rotatably mounted on an object to be protected about a vertical axis, whereby straightening movements of the weapon station in the azimuthal direction are possible.
  • the weapons are elevatable, i. pivotally arranged relative to the horizontal via a corresponding elevation drive.
  • both the primary and the secondary weapon can be elevated by a common drive, which is why it is not necessary for each weapon to have its own, to provide separate drives with stabilization and lashing.
  • the common drive is arranged such that the primary weapon can be elevated about a first elevation axis.
  • the secondary weapon is rotatably mounted about a second elevation axis and coupled to the primary weapon via a parallelogram linkage such that the movement of the primary weapon is also indirectly transmitted to the secondary weapon.
  • Such weapon stations have proven itself in the past, certainly, but have especially in the case of so-called MOUT (M ilitary O pera tion on U rbanized T errain) scenarios, for example as part of combat situations in urban canyons, a drawback because it such in Situations is required to operate both weapons in different elevation ranges. Namely, while the primary weapon is aimed at more distant targets at a smaller elevation angle, in such situations the smaller caliber secondary weapon is operated in the region of greater elevation angles, for example targets aimed above the vehicle, such as rooftops or snipers located on upper floors become.
  • MOUT M ilitary O pera tion on U rbanized T errain
  • the secondary weapon can be elevated at a greater angular velocity than the primary weapon. This can be realized via a corresponding transmission / reduction ratio of the transmission coupling the two weapons. Even brief straightening movements of the primary weapon lead to a large straightening movement of the secondary weapon, which results in short guideline times for the secondary weapon.
  • An advantage for a compact construction of the weapon station is an embodiment in which the primary weapon and the secondary weapon are arranged on a common elevation axis.
  • the primary weapon can be elevated directly and the secondary weapon can be elevated indirectly via the transmission.
  • the direct elevation of the primary weapon is via the common drive, the indirect elevation of the secondary weapon via the intermediate gear.
  • a constructive advantage also results if the transmission is a planetary gear.
  • Planetary gears are characterized in particular by their compact design, which is why they require only a relatively small installation space.
  • Another advantage of planetary gearboxes is that high-quality planetary gear works almost without play, resulting in a high accuracy of the secondary weapon.
  • the storage of the secondary weapon take place via the gear.
  • the storage can take place via a built-in planetary gear pivot bearing. In such an embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a separate storage for the secondary weapon.
  • the primary weapon is connected to the planet carrier of the transmission and the secondary weapon to the ring gear of the transmission.
  • the sun gear of the planetary gear is fixedly arranged, i. is not rotatable relative to the weapon station.
  • the transmission is realized via chain or timing belt drives.
  • the primary weapon and the secondary weapon are arranged on spaced apart elevation axes.
  • both weapons are located on a common elevation axis, which allows a more compact construction of the weapon station.
  • a weapon station is shown in a perspective view, as it is arranged on mobile and immobile objects, for example on houses, ships and in particular on military combat vehicles.
  • the weapon station has two weapons 1, 2 different caliber.
  • the primary weapon 1 is, for example, a medium-caliber machine weapon.
  • the secondary weapon 2 has a smaller caliber compared to the primary weapon 1 and is formed in the embodiment of a machine gun.
  • the weapon station is designed in the manner of a turret, which is arranged on a turntable 6 about a vertical axis, the so-called. Azimuth axis, rotatably mounted on the object to be protected.
  • the weapon station has a housing 5, to which the primary weapon 1 and the secondary weapon 2 are mounted NASAerbar opposite.
  • the so-called elevation axis runs essentially horizontally, so that the two weapons 1, 2 can be directed in different elevation angles relative to the horizontal.
  • a viewing device 7 can also be seen in the embodiment, over which enemy targets can be detected.
  • Fig. 1 illustrated is the lower end of the elevation range of the weapon station 1, ie, the two weapons 1, 2 can not be pivoted further with respect to the horizontal down.
  • Fig. 2 is a contrast elevated position of the two weapons 1, 2 shown. It can be seen that the two weapons 1, 2, in the position according to Fig. 1 still occupy the same elevation angle with respect to the horizontal, in the position according to Fig. 2 are elevated differently.
  • Fig. 3b shows a position with respect to the position in Fig. 3a elevated weapons 1, 2. This position forms the normal position in which the two weapons 1, 2 are lashed when not in use the weapons station.
  • the secondary weapon 2 was at elevation opposite to in Fig. 3a shown end position more elevated than the primary weapon 1, by the differential angle ⁇ . 2
  • the secondary weapon 2 elevates with respect to the primary weapon 1 with greater angular velocity, resulting in shorter target times of the secondary weapon 2, which is particularly important in the context of MOUT scenarios of importance in which the secondary weapon 2 is often operated in the field of large elevation angle ß.
  • the relationships become even clearer on the basis of the illustration in Fig. 3c in which the primary weapon 1 and coupled with this the secondary weapon 2 are more elevated.
  • the primary weapon 1 assumes an angle ⁇ 3 with respect to the horizontal, which is smaller than the angle ⁇ 3 of the secondary weapon 2 relative to the horizontal according to the transmission ratio of the coupling gear of the two weapons.
  • the elevation of the two weapons 1, 2 about the common elevation axis E allows a compact design of the weapon station.
  • Fig. 4 is shown in a schematic representation of the coupling of the primary weapon 1 with the secondary weapon 2.
  • the primary weapon 1 is driven directly by a drive 3, which may be, for example, an electromotive or hydraulic drive.
  • a drive 3 which may be, for example, an electromotive or hydraulic drive.
  • designed in the embodiment as an electric motor drive 3 is provided with a pinion 16 which with a provided on the primary weapon 1 toothed segment 15 (see also Fig. 5 ) combs.
  • a direct elevation of the primary weapon 1 about the elevation axis E is achieved via the drive 3.
  • the secondary weapon 2 is indirectly elevated by means of a transmission 4 provided with a transmission ratio i between the primary weapon 1 and the secondary weapon 2, whereby upon actuation of the drive 3, different angular speeds are set on the primary weapon 1 and the secondary weapon 2.
  • Fig. 5 the receiving area of the two weapons 1, 2 of the weapon station is shown in an enlarged view. It can be seen that a receptacle 11 for the primary weapon 1, which has a radial receiving opening for the primary weapon 1, and a receptacle 12 for the secondary weapon 2 are located coaxially on the common elevation axis E. Mounted are the two receptacles 11, 12 on walls 14 of the housing 5 of the weapon station. In the secondary weapon 2 facing wall 14 within a wall opening the transmission 4, which couples the two weapons 1, 2 together, arranged little space to accommodate.
  • Fig. 6 as well as in Fig. 7 are sectional views of two embodiments of a transmission 4 shown. In both cases, it is a planetary gear, over which the two arms 1, 2 are coaxially coupled.
  • the planetary gear 4 has a sun gear 20 arranged rotatably on the housing 5 of the weapon station, a plurality of rotatably arranged planet gears 21 and a ring gear 22.
  • Planetary gear of this type are known, which is why the function of the planetary gear will not be discussed in detail.
  • Fig. 6 is to recognize the primary weapon 1 in the right area, which is rotatably supported by a bearing 17 relative to the housing 5 of the weapon station. About a pin 18, the elevation movement of the primary weapon 1 is first transmitted to the planetary gears 21 supporting planet carrier 23, whereby the planetary gears 21 are offset from the fixed sun gear 20 in rotation.
  • the secondary weapon 2 is in Fig. 6 not shown, but flanged from the left side to the ring gear 22 so that it follows its movements. A separate storage for the secondary weapon 2 is not required.
  • the storage of the secondary weapon 2, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, take place via the bearing 19 of the transmission 4.
  • Fig. 7 a corresponding embodiment is shown in which, however, the secondary weapon 2 on the right and the primary weapon 1 and their recording 11 is arranged on the left side.
  • Fig. 8 the kinematic relationships of the coupling are illustrated.
  • the planetary gear 21 rolls on the sun gear 20 at the angular velocity of the primary weapon 1, which elevates at an angular velocity W 1 .
  • the angular velocity W 2 of the secondary weapon 2 is greater than that of the primary weapon. 1
  • the weapon station described above is characterized in particular by its simple, only a single drive for both weapons requiring construction.
  • due to the conditional by the gear ratio angular velocity difference short serving times for the secondary weapon. It is not necessary to elevate the heavy and in this respect massive mass primary weapon over the entire elevation range of the secondary weapon.
