Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Geschützrohr zum Verschießen drallstabilisierter Geschosse mit einem Führungsband und einem heckseitig hinter dem Führungsband angeordneten Dichtring, mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a gun barrel for firing spin-stabilized projectiles with a guide band and a rear side arranged behind the guide band sealing ring, with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Geschützrohre sind seit langem bekannt und umfassen üblicherweise einen Ladungsraum, ein gezogenes Rohrteil und einen zwischen dem Ladungsraum und dem gezogenen Rohrteil angeordneten Übergangskegel. Zum Laden eines Geschosses wird dieses durch den Ladungsraum hindurch so weit in den heckseitigen Bereich des gezogenen Rohrteiles hineingeschoben, bis das Führungsband des Geschosses sich an dem Feld-Zug-Profil des gezogenen Rohrteiles befindet. Der heckseitig von dem Führungsband angeordnete Dichtring, der üblicherweise einen etwas größeren Außendurchmesser aufweist als das Führungsband, befindet sich dabei noch in dem Übergangskegel des Geschützrohres und soll bei Schussabgabe zu Beginn des Gasdruckaufbaues im Ladungsraum verhindern, dass die heißen Treibladungsgase zwischen Führungsband und dem sich unmittelbar an dem Übergangskegel anschließenden Feld-Zug-Profil des gezogenen Rohrteiles vorbeiströmen.Such gun tubes have long been known and usually include a cargo space, a drawn pipe part and arranged between the cargo space and the drawn pipe part transition cone. For loading a projectile it is pushed so far through the cargo space in the rear-side region of the drawn pipe part until the guide band of the projectile is located on the field-pull profile of the drawn pipe part. The rear side arranged by the guide band sealing ring, which usually has a slightly larger outer diameter than the guide band is still in the transition cone of the gun barrel and should prevent firing at the beginning of the gas pressure buildup in the cargo space that the hot propellant gases between the guide band and the directly flow past the transition cone subsequent field-tensile profile of the drawn pipe part.

Die GB 232 989 A offenbart eine Möglichkeit, Munitionen aus einem gezogenen Waffenrohr entweder sehr weit oder sehr kurz verschleißen zu können. Das Patronenlager des Waffenrohres weist wenigstens zwei Druckkegel auf, wobei zumindest zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Kegel ein glatter Abschnitt vorgesehen ist. Der hintere Druckkugel ist für Munitionen gedacht, die in naher Distanz verschlossen werden, der vordere Druckkegel für das Verschießen von Munitionen für die weiteren Distanzen. Die Reichweitenänderung selbst wird dadurch erzielt, dass die Länge der Geschoss- oder Patronenhülse unterschiedlich gewählt wird. Je nach Länge der Hülse liegt dann die Munition an der hinteren oder an der vorderen Schulter des Patronenlagers an. Die Länge des Patronenlagers ist dabei abhängig von der Länge der Patronenhülse der Munition.The GB 232 989 A discloses a way to wear ammunition from a drawn barrel either very far or very short. The chamber of the gun barrel has at least two pressure cone, wherein at least between the first and the second cone a smooth section is provided. The rear pressure ball is intended for ammunition that is closed at close range, the front pressure cone for the firing of ammunition for the other distances. The range change itself is achieved by the length of the projectile or cartridge case is chosen differently. Depending on the length of the sleeve then the ammunition is located on the rear or on the front shoulder of the cartridge chamber. The length of the cartridge chamber is dependent on the length of the cartridge case of the ammunition.

In der Praxis hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dass je nach Ansatztiefe des Geschosses der Dichtring häufig nicht an den Seitenwänden des Übergangskegels exakt anliegt und bei Schussabgabe eine vollständige Anfangsabdichtung durch den Dichtring nicht sichergestellt wird. Ist eine Anfangsabdichtung nicht gegeben, strömen die heißen Treibladungsgase zwischen dem Führungsband und dem Feld-Zug-Profil im Bereich des Überganges zwischen Ladungsraum und Kaliberteil mit hoher Strömungsgeschwindigkeit vorbei und verursachen starke Erosionsschäden am ladungsraumseitigen Ende des gezogenen Rohrteiles. Diese Erosionsschäden führen dann zur Aussonderung des Waffenrohres.In practice, however, it has been shown that, depending on the depth of the projectile, the sealing ring often does not rest exactly on the side walls of the transition cone and a complete initial sealing is not ensured by the sealing ring when firing. If an initial seal is not provided, the hot propellant gases flow between the guide band and the field-tensile profile in the region of the transition between the cargo space and the high-speed caliber flow part and cause severe erosion damage to the cargo chamber side end of the drawn pipe member. These erosion damages then lead to the separation of the weapon barrel.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Geschützrohr anzugeben, bei dem eine Anfangsabdichtung zwischen Geschoss und dem Feld-Zug-Profil des gezogenen Rohrteiles gegen heiße Treibladungsgase sichergestellt wird, so dass Erosionsschäden am la-dungsraumseitigen Ende des gezogenen Rohrteiles minimiert werden.The invention has for its object to provide a gun barrel, in which an initial seal between the projectile and the field-tensile profile of the drawn pipe part is ensured against hot propellant gases, so that erosion damage on the load-space side Minimized end of the drawn pipe part.

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

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, zwischen dem sich an den Ladungsraum anschließenden Übergangskegel und dem gezogenen Rohrteil einen als Glattrohr ausgebildeten Abschnitt anzuordnen, dessen Innendurchmesser größer oder gleich dem Außendurchmesser des Führungsbandes, aber etwas kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des Dichtringes der zu verschießenden Geschosse ist, wobei die Länge des Glattrohrabschnittes mindestens der Länge des Führungsbandes und des Dichtringes (zusammen) des jeweiligen Geschosses ist.The invention is based essentially on the idea to arrange between the adjoining the cargo space transition cone and the drawn pipe part designed as a smooth tube section whose inner diameter is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the guide band, but slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing ring of the projectiles to be fired is, wherein the length of the smooth tube section is at least the length of the guide band and the sealing ring (together) of the respective projectile.

Wie Schussversuche gezeigt haben, sorgt der hinter dem Führungsband angeordnete Dichtring bei Schussabgabe in dem glatten Rohrstück für eine ausgezeichnete Anfangsabdichtung, bis das Führungsband vollständig in das Feld-Zug-Profil des gezogenen Rohrteiles gepresst wird.As firing tests have shown, the sealing ring arranged behind the guide band ensures an excellent initial seal when firing in the smooth pipe section until the guide strip is pressed completely into the field-pull profile of the drawn pipe part.

Außerdem wird durch die Einfügung des Glattrohres der Anfang des Feld-Zug-Profiles des gezogenen Rohrteiles aus dem bei bekannten Geschützrohren stark erosionsgefährdeten Bereich am Übergangskegel herausverlagert.In addition, the beginning of the field-pull profile of the drawn pipe part is displaced out of the strong erosion-prone in the known gun barrels area at the transition cone by the insertion of the smooth tube.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden, anhand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel. Es zeigen:

  • Fig.1 den Längsschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Geschützrohres im Bereich des Überganges zwischen Ladungsraum und gezogenem Rohrteil ohne Geschoss;
  • Fig.2 einen Fig.1 entsprechenden Längsschnitt mit einem geladenen Geschoss und
  • Fig.3 einen in Fig.2 mit III bezeichneten vergrößerten Ausschnitt.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following, explained with reference to figures embodiment. Show it:
  • Fig.1 the longitudinal section of a gun barrel according to the invention in the region of the transition between the cargo space and drawn pipe part without projectile;
  • Fig.2 one Fig.1 corresponding longitudinal section with a charged bullet and
  • Figure 3 one in Fig.2 with III designated enlarged detail.

In den Fig.1 und 2 ist mit 1 ein Geschützrohr zum Verschießen eines drallstabilisierten Geschosses 2 bezeichnet. Das Geschützrohr 1 umfaßt einen Ladungsraum 3, ein gezogenes Rohrteil 4 mit einem an sich bekannten Feld-Zug-Profil und einen zwischen dem Ladungsraum 3 und dem gezogenen Rohrteil 4 angeordneten Übergangskegel 5.In the Fig.1 and 2 is denoted by 1 a gun barrel for firing a spin-stabilized projectile 2. The gun barrel 1 comprises a cargo space 3, a drawn pipe part 4 with a known field-train profile and a between the Cargo space 3 and the drawn pipe part 4 arranged transition cone. 5

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, dass zwischen dem sich an den Ladungsraum 3 direkt anschließenden Übergangskegel 5 und dem gezogenen Rohrteil 4 ein als Glattrohr ausgebildeter Abschnitt 6 angeordnet ist. Dabei ist der mit D0 bezeichnete Innendurchmesser dieses Glattrohrabschnittes 6 derart gewählt, dass er etwas größer als der Außendurchmesser D1 des Führungsbandes 7 des jeweils zu verschießenden Geschosses ist und etwa gleich dem Außendurchmesser eines heckseitig an dem Führungsband 7 des Geschosses 2 angeordneten Dichtrings 8.According to the invention, it is now provided that a section 6 designed as a smooth tube is arranged between the transition cone 5 directly adjoining the charge space 3 and the drawn tube part 4. In this case, the designated D0 inner diameter of this smooth tube section 6 is selected such that it is slightly larger than the outer diameter D1 of the guide band 7 of each projectile to be fired and approximately equal to the outer diameter of a rear side on the guide band 7 of the projectile 2 arranged sealing ring. 8

Die Länge des Glattrohrabschnittes 6 ist hingegen derart gewählt, dass sie mindestens der Länge L0 des Führungsbandes 7 und der Länge L1 des Dichtringes 8 des jeweiligen Geschosses 2 entspricht. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass sich nach dem Laden des Geschosses 2 der Dichtring 8 innerhalb des Giattrohrabschnittes 6 befindet und der vor dem Führungsband 7 des Geschosses 2 befindliche Bereich 9 des Überganges zwischen dem Glattrohrabschnitt 6 und dem gezogenen Rohrteil 4 bei Schussabgabe gegen die im Ladungsraum 3 erzeugten Treibladungsgase sicher abgedichtet wird.The length of the smooth tube section 6, however, is selected such that it corresponds at least to the length L0 of the guide band 7 and the length L1 of the sealing ring 8 of the respective projectile 2. This ensures that after loading the projectile 2 of the sealing ring 8 is located within the Giattrohrabschnittes 6 and located in front of the guide belt 7 of the projectile 2 area 9 of the transition between the smooth pipe section 6 and the drawn pipe part 4 at firing against the in the cargo space. 3 generated propellant gases is securely sealed.
