EP0064661 offenbart eine Kinematik gemaß dem Oberbegriff des Ansprüchs 1. EP0064661 discloses a kinematics according to the preamble of Ansprüchs first

In der nicht vorveröffentlichten DE 10 2006 022 622.4 wird eine lineare Zuführung der Munition in ein Waffenrohr bzw. Patronenlager beschrieben, welche eine zur Funktionssteuerung verwendete Steuerkulisse in der horizontalen Ebene parallel zum Weg eines geradlinig zu führenden Verschlusses der Verschlusswaffe aufweist. Diese Kulisse wirkt funktional mit einer so genannten gleichfalls in der horizontalen Ebene liegenden Antriebskulisse zum Führen eines mit dem Verschluss verbundenen angetriebenen Mittels zusammen. Die Antriebskulisse ist in einem bewegbaren Schieber integriert, welcher seinerseits durch einen universell gestaltbaren Antrieb verstellt wird. Für eine Verriegelung des Verschlusses ist des Weiteren eine Verriegelungskulisse vorgesehen, die bevorzugt zusammen mit der Antriebskulisse in dem bewegbaren Schieber eingebunden ist. In diese Verriegelungskulisse kann ein Bolzen eines vorzugsweise waffenseitig angeordneten Verriegelungsringes eingreifen. Dieser Bolzen bewegt seinerseits dann den Verriegelungsring. Innerhalb der miteinander wirkenden Steuerkulisse und der Antriebskulisse wird ein Pleuel oder dergleichen durch die Kulissen und der Schieber entlang dieser Kulissen zwangsgeführt. Mit diesem Pleuel wird der Verschluss hin und her bewegt.In the not pre-published DE 10 2006 022 622.4 a linear supply of the ammunition is described in a gun barrel or cartridge chamber having a control link used for function control in the horizontal plane parallel to the path of a straight-to-leading closure of the closure weapon. This gate interacts functionally with a so-called also lying in the horizontal plane drive link for guiding a connected to the shutter driven means. The drive link is integrated in a movable slide, which in turn is adjusted by a universal design drive. For a locking of the closure further comprises a locking link is provided, which is preferably integrated together with the drive link in the movable slide. In this locking link can engage a bolt preferably a weapon side arranged locking ring. This bolt in turn then moves the locking ring. Within the co-acting control link and the drive link a connecting rod or the like is forcibly guided through the scenes and the slide along these scenes. With this connecting rod, the shutter is moved back and forth.

Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, einen weiteren Antrieb für eine lineare Zuführung des Waffenverschlusses mit einer davor liegenden Munition zum Patronenlager aufzuzeigen.Here, the invention has the object to show a further drive for a linear feed of the weapon lock with a preceding ammunition to the chamber.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgelistet.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are listed in the subclaims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, für eine lineare Zuführung eines Verschlusses zum Waffenrohr bzw. Patronenlager eine gerade Führungsnut in die Antriebs- Kinematik einzubinden. In der Führungsnut wird ein Mittel geführt, welches mit dem Verschluss konstruktiv verbunden ist. Die Führungsnut wird ihrerseits von einer umlaufenden Zwangsführung (Kulisse) umschlossen, die ihrerseits die notwendigen Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses während des Verriegelns, des Schusses, des Entriegelns in seiner vorderen Position sowie des Neuladens, nach dem der Verschluss in seine hintere Position geführt worden ist, interpretiert. Innerhalb der Zwangsführung wird ein weiteres Mittel als Antriebsmittel für den Verschluss geführt. Die Antriebsübertragung kann durch Gleitrollen, Zahnräder oder dergleichen realisiert werden, die von einem Motor etc. angetrieben werden. Der Antrieb selbst läuft innerhalb der Stillstandszeiten der Waffe weiter, während der Verschluss in den Stillstandszeiten aus- bzw. später wieder eingesteuert wird. Während der ausgesteuerten Phase bleibt somit der Verschluss "liegen" und wird erst wieder nach der Einsteuerung mitgenommen.The invention is based on the idea to incorporate a straight guide groove in the drive kinematics for a linear feed of a closure to the gun barrel or cartridge chamber. In the guide groove, a means is guided, which is constructively connected to the closure. The guide groove is in turn enclosed by a circumferential positive guide (gate), which in turn interprets the necessary downtime of the shutter during locking, the shot, the Entriegelns in its forward position and the reload after the shutter has been moved to its rear position , Within the positive guide another means is performed as a drive means for the closure. The drive transmission can be realized by casters, gears or the like, which are driven by a motor, etc. The drive itself continues to run within the downtime of the weapon, while the shutter is off in the downtime or later reinstated. During the controlled phase, the shutter thus remains "lying" and is taken back only after the control.

Als Kraftübertragung vom Motor etc. auf die Gleitrolle etc. in der Kulisse kann ein Schneckenantrieb, Kegelradantrieb etc. vorgesehen werden.As a power transmission from the engine, etc. on the sliding roller, etc. in the backdrop, a worm drive, bevel gear, etc. are provided.

In Weiterführung der Erfindung ist es möglich, dass während der Verschluss steht (ausgekoppelt ist), die anderen Funktionen an der Waffe nicht nur zeitgleich sondern auch zeitlich getaktet aufeinander abgestimmt ablaufen können. In diesem Fall kann die Führungsnut des Verschlusses kürzer gehalten werden, während die Kurve der Kulisse wesentlich länger als die Nut ausgeführt wird.In continuation of the invention, it is possible that while the shutter is (decoupled), the other functions on the weapon not only at the same time but also clocked in time to run coordinated with each other. In this case, the guide groove of the shutter can be kept shorter while the curve of the gate is made much longer than the groove.

Die Anbindung an den Verschluss ist seitlich, oben oder von unten möglich, d.h., die Antriebs- Kinematik kann unterhalb, oberhalb als auch seitlich vom Verschluss eingebunden werden.The connection to the closure is possible laterally, upwardly or from below, that is, the drive kinematics can be integrated below, above and also laterally from the closure.

Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher beschrieben werden.Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be described in more detail.

In Fig. 1 bzw. Fig. 2 ist eine mechanische Antriebs- Kinematik 1 für eine lineare Zuführung eines hier angedeuteten Verschlusses 2 mit den wesentlichen Details aufgezeigt. Mit 3 ist eine gerade Führungsnut gekennzeichnet, in der ein Mitnehmer 5 (Bolzen) geführt wird. Mitnehmer 5 und Verschluss 2 sind miteinander konstruktiv lösbar verbunden. Der Mitnehmer 5 greift des Weiteren durch ein so genanntes Antriebsmittel 6, beispielsweise eine Gleitrolle oder ein Zahnrad, der Antriebs- Kinematik 1. Die Antriebs- Kinematik 1 umfasst des Weiteren eine Kulisse 7, in welcher ein Übertragungsmittel 8, beispielsweise eine weitere Gleitrolle bzw. ein weiteres Zahnrad, geführt wird und das mit der Rolle 6 im Kraftschluss ist. Zwischen dem Antriebsmittel 8 und dem Mitnehmer 5 ist ein Schieber 9 eingebunden, der ein Lösen des Mitnehmers 5 vom Verschluss 2 realisiert. Mit 10 ist eine sogenannte Einsteuerung und 11 ist eine sogenannte Aussteuerung gekennzeichnet. Die Aussteuerung 11 dient dabei zum Entkoppeln des Verschlusses 2 vom Antriebsmittel 6. Die Einsteuerung 10 ihrerseits ist derart in die Kinematik 1 eingebunden, dass sie für das (erneute) Mitnehmen des Verschlusses 2 (nach dessen Ablegen innerhalb der Stillstandszeit) den Mitnehmer 5 in den Verschluss 2 schiebt (drückt).In Fig. 1 respectively. Fig. 2 is a mechanical drive kinematics 1 for a linear feed of a closure 2 indicated here with the essential details shown. 3 is a straight guide groove, in which a driver 5 (bolt) is guided. Driver 5 and 2 closure are connected to each other structurally releasable. The driver 5 engages further by a so-called drive means 6, for example a sliding roller or a gear, the drive kinematics 1. The drive kinematics 1 further comprises a link 7, in which a transmission means 8, for example, a further sliding roller or another gear, is guided and with the roller 6 in the power circuit. Between the drive means 8 and the driver 5, a slide 9 is integrated, which realizes a release of the driver 5 from the closure 2. With 10 is a so-called Einsteuerung and 11 is a so-called modulation marked. The control 11 is used for decoupling the shutter 2 from the drive means 6. The Einsteuerung 10 in turn is so involved in the kinematics 1, that they for the (re) entrainment of the shutter 2 (after its storage within the downtime) the driver 5 in the Lock 2 pushes (pushes).

Der Übersichtlichkeit halber sind beide nur für das Aus- und Einkoppeln des Mitnehmers 5 und damit das Ablegen bzw. Wideraufnehmen des Verschlusses 2 im Schießzeitraum dargestellt. Eine Einbindung dieser Konstruktion in die Antriebs- Kinematik 1 für das Zuführen einer nicht näher aufgezeigten Patrone ist auch vorgesehen.For the sake of clarity, both are shown only for the extraction and coupling of the driver 5 and thus the removal or resumption of the closure 2 in the shooting period. An integration of this construction in the drive kinematics 1 for supplying a cartridge not shown in detail is also provided.

Die Kulisse 7 beschreibt die Funktionen der Waffe wie "Beginn Verschlussvorlauf', "Beginn der Verriegelung" und "verriegelt", "Schussauslösung" und "Entriegelung". Dem schließen sich der "Rücklauf des Verschlusses" sowie "Verschlussstillstand" für das Neuladen an.The gate 7 describes the functions of the weapon such as "start of shutter advance", "start of lock" and "locked", "shot release" and "unlocking", followed by the "return of the shutter" and "shutter lock" for reloading.

Ausgehend von den Stillstandszeiten bzw. der Funktionssteuerung, welche durch die Kinematik 1 geschaffen werden, ist die Funktionsweise der Kinematik 1 wie folgt:Based on the downtime or the function control, which are created by the kinematics 1, the operation of the kinematics 1 is as follows:

Das Antriebsmittel 6 (Kegelrad, Schneckenrad), welches über den Mitnehmer 5 mit dem Verschluss 2 verbindbar ist, wird über eine nicht näher dargestellte Übersetzung / Antrieb (z. B. Kegelrad, Schnecke) und beispielsweise eine Keilwelle etc. von einem elektrischen Motor oder dergleichen angetrieben und innerhalb der Führungsnut 3 geführt. Gleichzeitig wird über die Verbindung 6 und 8 das Übertragungsmittel 8 in der Kulisse 7 zwangsgeführt.The drive means 6 (bevel gear, worm wheel), which can be connected to the shutter 2 via the driver 5, is driven by a transmission or drive (eg bevel gear, worm), not shown in more detail, and by a motor, for example, a splined shaft, etc. the like driven and guided within the guide groove 3. At the same time, the transmission means 8 is forcibly guided in the link 7 via the connection 6 and 8.

Mit dem Drehen des Antriebsmittels 6 wird der Verschluss 2, zwangsgeführt durch die Führungsnut 3, beispielsweise zuerst in Richtung des nicht näher dargestellten Patronenlagers verbracht.With the rotation of the drive means 6, the closure 2, forcibly guided by the guide groove 3, for example, spent first in the direction of the cartridge chamber, not shown.

Mit Erreichen der Einleitung der Funktion "Beginn Verriegelung des Verschlusses 2" wird über die Aussteuerung 11 und den Schieber 9 auf der Seite des Übertragungsmittels 8 der Mitnehmer 5 vom Verschluss 2 gelöst. Dazu weist der Schieber 9 eine Schiebekurve 12 auf, entlang welcher der Mitnehmer 5 geführt, angehoben und vom Verschluss 2 selbst getrennt wird. Im Kurvenbereich 7.2 läuft das Übertragungsmittels 8, über das Antriebsmittel 6 getrieben, nunmehr frei vom Verschluss 2 weiter, der Verschluss 2 bleibt stehen, die Waffe kann die weiteren Funktionen durchführen.Upon reaching the initiation of the function "start locking the shutter 2" is achieved via the control 11 and the slide 9 on the side of the transmission means 8 of the driver 5 from the shutter 2. For this purpose, the slide 9 has a sliding cam 12, along which the driver 5 is guided, lifted and separated from the closure 2 itself. In the curve area 7.2, the transmission means 8, driven by the drive means 6, now continues to move freely away from the closure 2, the closure 2 stops, the weapon can perform the further functions.

Für die Verriegelungszeit und Schussauslösung bis zum Zeitpunkt der Entriegelung fährt das Übertragungsmittel 8 die Kurve 7.2 ab.For the locking time and shot triggering until the time of unlocking the transmission means 8 moves from the curve 7.2.

Das fertige Entriegeln wird dann durch die Einsteuerung 10 eingeleitet, die den Mitnehmer 5 entlang der Schiebekurve 12 wieder in Richtung Verbindung mit dem Verschluss 2 drückt, so dass dieser nunmehr wieder kraftschlüssig mit dem Antriebsmittel 6 verbunden, mitgenommen und geradlinig in seine andere Endposition gebracht werden kann. In dieser wird dann der Verschluss 2 wieder abgelegt, d.h., vom Mitnehmer 5 getrennt, so dass der Verschluss 2 still steht, eine neue Patrone durch einen Zuführer vor den Verschluss 2 vorgelegt und der Verschluss 2 wieder in Richtung Waffenrohr verfahren werden kann. In dieser Beladungszeit erfolgt gleichfalls das Weiterlaufen des Übertragungsmittels 8 innerhalb der Kulisse 7.The finished unlocking is then initiated by the Einsteuerung 10, which pushes the driver 5 along the slide cam 12 again in the direction of connection with the shutter 2, so that this now again positively connected to the drive means 6, taken and brought straight into its other end position can. In this then the shutter 2 is again stored, that is, separated from the driver 5, so that the shutter 2 is stationary, a new cartridge presented by a feeder in front of the shutter 2 and the shutter 2 can be moved back towards the gun barrel. In this loading time, the further running of the transmission means 8 within the gate 7 also takes place.
