This enables the ammunition (5) to be transported about the radii (R) of the turret (1).

Description

B E S C H R E I B U N G DESCRIPTION
Munitionsbevorratungammunition storage
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Art der Munitionsbevorratung, die als umlaufende Munitionszuführung um den Turm, ein herkömmliches Munitionsmagazin ersetzt.The invention relates to a type of Munitionsbevorratung, which replaces as a circulating ammunition supply to the tower, a conventional ammunition magazine.
Bekannt sind Munitionsmagazine oder dergleichen zur Aufnahme von Munition, die in Turmnähe oder im Turm selbst untergebracht sind.Are known ammunition magazines or the like for receiving ammunition, which are housed near the tower or in the tower itself.
So beschäftigt sich die DE 195 26 664 A1 mit einem Turm für ein Rad- und Kettenfahrzeug, welcher mit einer Waffe und einem Magazin versehen ist.Thus, DE 195 26 664 A1 deals with a tower for a wheeled and tracked vehicle, which is provided with a weapon and a magazine.
Die Befestigung der Munitionsmagazine seitlich an einer Lafette ist in der DE 101 60 216 C1 dargestellt.The attachment of the ammunition magazine side of a carriage is shown in DE 101 60 216 C1.
Ein Munitionsmagazin, welches in der Praxis vorzugsweise hinter dem Turm angeordnet ist, wird in der DE 10 2004 031 773 B3 näher beschrieben.An ammunition magazine, which in practice is preferably arranged behind the tower, is described in greater detail in DE 10 2004 031 773 B3.
Die DE 697 28 353 T2 (EP 0 840 085 B1) beschreibt eine Munitionszuführung aus dem Turm heraus. Insbesondere die Lagerung der Munition im Turm bewirkt, dass dieser groß genug sein muss für die Lagerung und Zuführung der Munition sowie für eine Besatzung. Große Türme haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie selber schwer sind und für den Eigenschutz der Besatzung gepanzert werden müssen, was das Turmgewicht zusätzlich erhöht.DE 697 28 353 T2 (EP 0 840 085 B1) describes an ammunition feed out of the tower. In particular, the storage of ammunition in the tower causes it to be large enough for the storage and supply of ammunition and for a crew. However, large towers have the disadvantage that they themselves are heavy and need to be armored for self-protection of the crew, which additionally increases the tower weight.
Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Munitionsbevorratung aufzuzeigen, die weder im Turm noch in einem Munitionsmagazin gelagert ist. Damit verbunden wird angestrebt, den Turm baulich kleiner gestallten zu können. Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.The invention has as its object to show a Munitionsbevorratung that is stored neither in the tower nor in an ammunition magazine. Connected with this endeavor is to make the tower structurally smaller. The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, die Munitionsbevorratung um den Turm zu integrieren, d. h., die Munition wird nicht als Magazin hinter oder neben dem Turm eingebunden, sondern umlaufend / umfänglich um den Turm gelegt bzw. geführt. Die Bevorratung kann um den gesamten Turm gelegt bzw. geführt werden, d.h. vollumfänglich, oder aber nur teilumfänglich.The invention is based on the idea to integrate the ammunition storage around the tower, d. h., The ammunition is not included as a magazine behind or next to the tower, but placed circumferentially / circumferentially around the tower or guided. The stocking can be placed around the entire tower, i. in full or only partially.
Dies ermöglicht in Weiterführung der Erfindung eine kleinere Schutzzelle einzubinden, da die Munition nicht im Turm gelagert werden muss. Die Schutzzelle kann für sich eine Schutzhülle, je nach Schutzanforderung, aufweisen. Durch eine zusätzliche Schutzhülle um die außerhalb des Turmes angebrachte Munitionsbevorratung ist auch ein Schutz der Munition gewährleistet.This allows further development of the invention to incorporate a smaller protective cell, since the ammunition does not have to be stored in the tower. The protective cell may itself have a protective cover, depending on the protection requirement. By an additional protective cover around the outside of the tower mounted ammunition storage and protection of the ammunition is guaranteed.
In Weiterführung der Idee werden die sonst im Turm gelagerten Baugruppen, welche aber nicht im direkten Eingriff durch den Bediener stehen müssen, gleichfalls nach außen zwischen die Schutzzelle und wenn vorhanden, die Schutzhülle gelegt. Ein Schutz dieser Baugruppen wird durch die Schutzhülle um die Munition gewährleistet.In continuation of the idea, the otherwise stored in the tower assemblies, but which must not be in direct intervention by the operator, also outward between the protective cell and if present, the protective cover. Protection of these assemblies is ensured by the protective cover around the ammunition.
Die Aufteilung des Schutzes hat des Weiteren den Vorteil, dass unterschiedliche Schutzkombinationen möglich sind. Je nach Schutzgrad wird mit einem verbesserten Schutz der Schutzzelle und einem einfachen Schutz der Munition für die Mannschaft ein voller Schutz, für die Munition ein minimal benötigter Schutz geschaffen. Der Mannschaftsschutz wird eingehalten, das Gewicht des Turmes in Summe verringert. Die Schutzstufen innen und außen sind somit variabel aber aufeinander abgestimmt einstellbar.The division of protection also has the advantage that different protection combinations are possible. Depending on the level of protection, with improved protection of the protective cell and simple protection of the ammunition for the crew, a full protection is provided for the ammunition a minimum protection required. The team protection is maintained, the weight of the tower is reduced in total. The protection levels inside and outside are thus adjustable but adjustable.
Die umlaufende Munitionszuführung erfolgt in einer einfachsten Form durch eine einfache herkömmliche Munitionszuführung, wenn die Waffe selbst stark genug ist, die Munition zu ziehen. In der bevorzugten Form ist jedoch vorgesehen, einen Antrieb einzubinden, beispielsweise einen Motor, sowie eine flexible Führung, die für sich bekannt ist. Hier besteht die umlaufende Munitionszuführung aus einem Support, einem Verdrehapparat, einem damit verbundenen Krümmer sowie der Transportvorrichtung und dem vorzugsweise elektromotorischen Munitionsförderer. Die Transportvorrichtung ist in Weiterführung der Erfindung eine umlaufende unendliche Kette, welche in zwei Richtungen beweglich ist (zwei Achsen).The circumferential ammunition feed is made in a simplest form by a simple conventional ammunition feed, if the weapon itself is strong enough to pull the ammunition. However, in the preferred form, it is contemplated to include a drive, such as a motor, as well as a flexible guide which is known per se. Here, the circumferential ammunition supply consists of a support, a Verdrehapparat, an associated manifold and the transport device and the preferably electromotive ammunition conveyor. The transport device is in continuation of the invention, a circumferential infinite chain, which is movable in two directions (two axes).

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Turm 1 mit einer Schutzzelle 2, einer Waffenanlage 3 sowie angedeuteten Bedienern 4. Seitlich werden der Waffe 3 zwei Munitionstypen 5, in der Regel handelt es sich hierbei um wenigstens zwei verschiedene Munitionsarten, zugeführt. Die Munition 5 wird der Waffe 3 aus einer den Turm 1 umlaufenden Munitionsbevorratung 6 zugeführt. Die Munitionszuführung zur Waffe erfolgt in der bevorzugten Ausführung durch einen Support 7, einem Verdrehapparat 8 sowie einem Krümmer 9, die mit der Munitionsbevorratung 6 funktional verbunden sind (Fig.2). In Fig. 2 dargestellt ist der Turm 1 mit der umlaufenden Munitionsbevorratung 6, die näher erkennbar in den Fig. 3 und 4 aufgezeigt ist.Fig. 1 shows a tower 1 with a protective cell 2, a weapons system 3 and indicated operators 4. Side of the weapon 3 two ammunition types 5, this is usually at least two different types of ammunition supplied. The ammunition 5 is supplied to the weapon 3 from an ammunition storage 6 circulating the tower 1. The ammunition supply to the weapon is carried out in the preferred embodiment by a support 7, a Verdrehapparat 8 and a manifold 9, which are functionally connected to the Munitionsbevorratung 6 (Figure 2). Shown in FIG. 2 is the tower 1 with the circulating ammunition storage 6, which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 and 4.
Die Munitionsbevorratung 6 weist zwei Munitionskanäle 10, 11 auf, in denen unterschiedliche Munitionsarten deponiert sind. Der Transport zum Krümmer 9 findet in der bevorzugten Ausführung mit Hilfe einer umlaufenden Kette 12 statt. Diese wird durch einen elektrischen Antrieb 13 bewegt (Fig. 5). Die Besonderheit dieser Kette ist, dass sie in zwei Achsen beweglich gehalten ist, so dass sie um den Turm 1 gelegt werden kann. Das ermöglicht den Transport der Munition 5 um die Radien R des Turmes 1.The Munitionsbevorratung 6 has two ammunition channels 10, 11, in which different types of ammunition are deposited. The transport to the manifold 9 takes place in the preferred embodiment by means of a circulating chain 12. This is moved by an electric drive 13 (FIG. 5). The peculiarity of this chain is that it is kept movable in two axes, so that it can be placed around the tower 1. This allows the transport of the ammunition 5 to the radii R of the tower. 1
Insbesondere bei einer teilumfänglichen Munitionsbevorratung 6 ist die Verwendung einer derartigen Kette 12 von Vorteil, da mit dieser eine Endloskette geschaffen werden kann. Eine entsprechende Führung der Kette 11 ist der Fig. 5a entnehmbar. Die Kette 12 wird um entsprechende Umlenkungen 14 als Unendlichkette geführt, wobei der Abschnitt 12.1 räumlich gesehen oberhalb des unten zurückgeführten Kettenabschnittes 12.2 läuft.In particular, in the case of a partially circumferential ammunition storage 6, the use of such a chain 12 is advantageous, since with this an endless chain can be created. A corresponding guide of the chain 11 is the Fig. 5a removed. The chain 12 is guided around corresponding deflections 14 as an infinity chain, wherein the portion 12.1 spatially seen above the bottom recirculated chain section 12.2 runs.
Fig. 6 zeigt den Turm mit einem äußeren und einem inneren Schutz 20, 22, welcher anhand Fig. 6a näher erläutert wird. Eine Bedrohung 21 trifft zuerst auf den äußeren Schutzmantel 20, dann auf die Munition 5 und dann erst auf den inneren Schutzmantel 22 und damit auf die Schutzzelle 2 selbst. Bei der Auslegung der Schutzelemente 22 der Schutzzelle 2 werden die vorgelagerten Schutzelemente des äußeren Schutzmantels 20 berücksichtigt. Dadurch können in Abstimmung beider Schutzmäntel 20, 22 verschiedene Schutzklassen individuell angepasst, die geforderte Schutzbedürfnisse berücksichtigt werden. Fig. 6 shows the tower with an outer and an inner guard 20, 22, which will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 6a. A threat 21 hits first on the outer protective jacket 20, then on the ammunition 5 and then only on the inner protective jacket 22 and thus on the protective cell 2 itself. In the design of the protective elements 22 of the protective cell 2, the upstream protective elements of the outer protective jacket 20 are taken into account , As a result, different protection classes can be individually adapted in coordination of the two protective sheaths 20, 22, the required protection requirements being taken into account.
