Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote-controlled clamping device, wherein the clamping device has the task of clamping, loading or securing a lafettierbaren machine gun with detachable connection.
  • a tensioning device is off US 2406461 known.
  • Fully automatic gas-powered weapons usually work in such a way that when clamping the weapon, the closure is brought against the spring force of one or more closing springs in a rear catching position and locked.
  • the clamping is normally done manually.
  • this lock is released and the shutter is brought forward by the spring force of the shooting spring (s) in the shutter track.
  • This closing movement a cartridge is inserted into this closure career, locked in the cartridge chamber at the front end of the closure career and ignited there. After unlocking the shutter this is brought by the gas pressure to the rear in its catching position and ejected the empty cartridge case.
  • the feeding mechanism of the cartridge is then realized either by a positive control by the moving shutter or by the gas pressure when igniting the ammunition.
  • the invention thus has the object of demonstrating a remotely controllable tensioning device, with a clamping for the first shot, a loading and securing a lafettierbaren machine gun is possible.
  • the operating forces must be reached in order to obtain the desired function, for example the correct approach of the end positions.
  • the load limits must not be exceeded in order not to destroy the machine gun (MG). If the tensioner malfunctions, the machine gun may be damaged, resulting in irreversible injury.
  • the force curve over the tensioning path is neither constant nor linear.
  • the Anzündversagerauszugskraft acts of up to 850 N within the first 10 mm, the linear from about 130 N to 150 N increasing clamping force on the clamping path of about 150 mm and a gurtgliedmayntouch conveying force against the drive in the clamping direction.
  • frictional forces in the cocking slide of up to 50 N occur.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the requirement for the tensioning device is met primarily by an eccentrically mounted drive wheel. With this drive a non-linear torque-to-force conversion is achieved. With pulleys and a spring, a chain of the drive can be tensioned.
  • a driver integrated in the chain into which the handle of the loading slider when inserting the weapon in a carriage, for example, manually inserted. By the handle of the driver is fixed horizontally and vertically to the clamping direction at the same time. An additional carriage for the driver is thus not needed. The handle can run freely back and forth with the driver during shooting. As a result, no forces are introduced via the handle in the machine gun.
  • two equal eccentric drive wheels can be used. Both can reduce the energy fluctuations in the chain tensioner to zero.
  • the structure is more complex, but technically feasible.
  • the power of the drive can be reduced while maintaining the cycle time of the clamping operation.
  • the advantages of a smaller drive are its low weight and low installation space.
  • the forces required for this purpose are also used to advantageous forms of non-linear implementation.
  • the chain tension springs and the eccentric drive wheel generate two stable states per drive wheel revolution. The associated positions are placed on functional positions for the driver, so as an alternative to a brake for fixing the driver.
  • a cable can be integrated which, for example, wraps around the eccentrically mounted drive wheel / drive wheels several times or enables power transmission with pressed-on sleeves.
  • a belt or driven by a cam gear band can be used.
  • the machine gun can be lafettiert in a simple manner, while maintaining the function in the manual use of the weapon.
  • the MG4 is a fully automatic gas-powered gun with a turret closure and 5.56 mm x 45 caliber gun that fires in the open position.
  • the cartridge is fed in the closing flow and ignited.
  • the machine gun includes integrated locking elements on the closure, tube, handle, cocking slide, and a charging indicator (see also http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/HK MG4).
  • a first tensioning device 1 (chain drive) with an eccentrically mounted drive wheel 2, a fork 3, chain 4 and a guide roller 15 is shown. Also involved are an end position sensor 5 for detecting the rear end position and an end position sensor 6 for detecting the front end position, a guide roller 7, spring 8 and a driver 9.
  • the guide roller 7, the fork 3 and spring 8 form a (the ) Chain tensioner.
  • the driver 9 is constructed so that the handle 20 ( Fig. 4, 5 ) of the through-loading slide in the carriage 10 of the driver 9, wherein the handle 20 is inserted first in the driver 9.
  • the carriage 10 is slidably mounted in the direction of force in the driver housing 11 (will be explained).
  • the loading slide For tensioning the loading slide is moved against the firing direction from its front end position to the rear end position and back to the front end position. The end positions are reached when the loading slide abuts against its mechanical stop still running). This loading movement is after the insertion of the machine gun in a carriage (partially loaded) and to eject a possible Anzündveragers necessary.
  • the loader slide is moved to the rear end position and held there. In this position, both catch hook and the loading shutter prevent the shutter on the flow and thus prevent the unwanted shot triggering.
  • To unlock the loader slide is moved to the front end position and held there. During firing, the loading slide must be in its forward end position. As soon as the through-loading slide is no longer at the front stop, there is a risk that it stops the flow of the shutter, so the shooting interrupts, which can cause damage in addition to the malfunction.
  • the clamping device 1 is placed, for example, on the right side of the machine gun (not shown in detail). It can optionally be rigidly connected to the machine gun, so run back with each shot or burst with the machine gun in the return damper, or be rigidly connected to the cradle, so that the machine gun can run back without the mass of the jig 1. This is also called the floating connection.
  • the floating connection provides more freedom in the design of the return damper.
  • the eccentrically mounted drive wheel 2 converts the voltage applied to its shaft constant drive torque M A in a suitable load L to the load F N on the driver 9 (see also Fig. 3 ).
  • the chain 4 and the driver 9 transmit in both directions the driving force on the loading slide.
  • the guide roller 5 and the guide roller 7 lead the driver 9 parallel to the loading slide. As a result, undesirable transverse forces are avoided on the loading slide.
  • the freewheeling deflection roller 7 held in the fork 3 becomes the chain tensioner with the spring 8.
  • the selected bias of the spring 8 is so high that it comes even when, return to no unstrained chain 4. This in Fig.
  • second sprocket serves to compensate for the impact on the chain guide by the eccentric bearing of the drive wheel 1 chain increase, ie, when the drive wheel 1 is in its upper position to keep the chain pressure on the drive wheel 1 constant, the chain 4 quietly over to guide the drive wheel 1.
  • the position of the loader slider is fixed by frictional engagement by the shooter or operator, the gun 20 as viewed in the weft direction 90 ° counterclockwise from the horizontal to the vertical folds.
  • the driver 9 is constructed so that it receives the handle 20. In slide 10 this is kept free of tools.
  • Shown in Fig. 4 is a clasp 12, in which the handle 20 snaps. But there are also other clamping solutions, carabiner or screw mounts conceivable.
  • the carriage 10 is slidably mounted in the direction of force in the driver housing 11.
  • the driver housing 11 is connected to the chain 4.
  • the driver housing 11 For a rigid connection ( Fig. 4 ) between the machine gun and the tensioning device 1, the driver housing 11 by springs 13 in the housing 11 continue to run until the respective end position sensor 5, 6 is actuated. By placing the switching point behind the end position, it is also ensured that leaving the end position is also detected.
  • the loading slide is held with the tensioning device 1 in the front and in the rear end position. This can be done by holding the drive wheel 1 by means of brakes, self-locking gear, etc.
  • the driver housing 11 by the return / forward springs of the weapon storage (not shown) continue to run until the respective end position sensor 5, 6 is actuated.
  • the through-loading slide is preferably fixed by means of a pressure piece 14 in its front mechanical stop ( Fig. 6a, b ). The force of the pressure piece 14 is sufficient to push the cocking slide 16 beyond the sensor switching thresholds (switch-off point, switch-on point) to its mechanical stop.
  • Alone Fig. 6 illustrated attachment points 21 are fixed to the weapon or are on a weapon-resistant holder that can be attached to the gun Picatinny rail, for example (not shown in detail).
  • the handle 20 receives a freewheel to force-free to run back with the machine gun at firing.
  • the driver 9 is before shooting by means of a sensor 17 ( Fig. 1 ) in the in Fig. 5 shown position brought.
  • a second, likewise eccentrically running drive wheel can be integrated, which takes on the task of chain tensioning.
