Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for launching a weapon from an underwater vehicle.
  • the invention relates to a system of this type which comprises a tube intended to receive the weapon and which is provided at one end with a door equipped with a cylinder with double action of ejection of the weapon.
  • Such systems are for example used in submarines to launch a torpedo, these systems then being generally called "torpedo tube”.
  • the double-acting cylinder fitted to the tube door comprises a cylinder body in which deployable pistons are telescopically retractable relative to each other, this cylinder being connected to means forming a source of fluid under pressure through control means for injecting fluid under pressure into the cylinder body at the rear of the pistons to deploy the same.
  • An exemplary launching system is described in EP 2 124 012 .
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.
  • the subject of the invention is a launching system according to claim 1.
  • this system comprises a tube designated by the general reference 2, intended to receive the weapon, this weapon being constituted for example by a wiggle or other.
  • This tube is provided at one end with a door designated by the general reference 3, this door being equipped with a cylinder with double action of ejection of the weapon.
  • This double-acting cylinder is illustrated in more detail on the figure 2 .
  • this double-acting cylinder is designated by the general reference 4 and comprises a cylinder body designated by the general reference 5, in which are arranged deployable pistons telescopically retractable relative to each other.
  • the internal piston designated by the general reference 10 also comprises at its free end, a support plate on the weapon, designated by the general reference 11.
  • the front ends of the body 5 and the pistons with the exception of the internal piston 10 also comprise orifices such as for example the orifice designated by the general reference 12, for the cylinder body 5, and 13, for the first external piston 6, the function of which will be described in more detail later.
  • This jack is therefore associated with the door 3 of the tube and is connected to means forming a source of pressurized fluid through control means as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the cylinder associated with the tube door is connected to pressurized fluid source means designated by the general reference 14 in these figures through control means 15, for injecting pressurized fluid into the cylinder body at the same time.
  • control means 15 for injecting pressurized fluid into the cylinder body at the same time.
  • rear of the pistons to deploy these and from outside the body through the orifices 12 and 13 provided at the front ends of this body and successive pistons with the exception of the inner piston, to cause their retraction in this body and into each other successively.
  • this launch system comprises two different sources of fluid under pressure, including a source of pressurized gas designated by the general reference 16 and a source of pressurized liquid designated by the general reference 17.
  • the source of gas under pressure is adapted to ensure the deployment of the pistons while the source of pressurized liquid is adapted to ensure the retraction thereof.
  • the pressurized gas source may comprise pressurized gas cylinder means while the pressurized liquid source may comprise hydropneumatic accumulator means as illustrated.
  • the gas under pressure may indeed be air while the pressurized liquid may be water.
  • This control is also provided by the orifices 13 provided for example in front of the end of the piston 6 when the successive piston 7 moves forward and so on.
  • pressurized liquid such as for example water is injected through the orifices 12 of the cylinder body 5.
  • these orifices are on the one hand intended to allow the successive folding of the pistons into each other and into the cylinder body during their retraction and also to slow the displacement thereof by rolling of this fluid during the deployment of the cylinders, the fluid is then ejected through these orifices.
  • Such a structure makes it possible to obtain an extremely compact system making it possible to fill the chambers delimited between the cylinder body and the external piston and between the pistons themselves with water.
  • This structure with chambers and orifices also makes it possible to damp the movement of the pistons while allowing to obtain an optimal deployment speed whatever the type of weapon to be ejected.

Claims (5)

  1. System zum Abschießen einer Waffe aus einer Unterwasservorrichtung der Bauart, die ein Rohr (2) umfasst, das dazu bestimmt ist, die Waffe aufzunehmen, und an einem Ende mit einer mit einem Doppelwirkungszylinder (4) ausgestatteten Tür (3) zum Ausstoß der Waffe versehen ist, einen Zylinderkörper (5) umfassend, in dem in Bezug aufeinander teleskopisch aus- und einfahrbare Kolben (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) angeordnet sind, wobei der Zylinder (4) über Steuereinrichtungen (15) an eine Druckfluidquelle bildende Einrichtungen (14) angeschlossen ist, um Druckfluid in den Zylinderkörper (5) auf der Rückseite der Kolben einzuleiten, um diese auszufahren,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Öffnungen (12, 13) an den vorderen Enden dieses Körpers und an den vorderen Enden der aufeinanderfolgenden Kolben, mit Ausnahme des innenliegenden Kolbens, vorgesehen sind, durch welche die Druckfluidquelle bildenden Einrichtungen vom Äußeren des Körpers her Fluid einleiten können, um das Einfahren dieser Kolben in den Körper und ineinander aufeinanderfolgend zu bewirken,
    wobei das System zwei verschiedene Druckfluidquellen (16, 17) umfasst:
    eine Druckgasquelle (16), um das Ausfahren der Kolben sicherzustellen, und
    eine Druckflüssigkeitsquelle (17), um deren Einfahren sicherzustellen.
  2. System nach Anspruch 1 zum Abschießen einer Waffe, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Druckgasquelle (16) Einrichtungen umfasst, die eine Druckgasflasche bilden.
  3. System nach Anspruch 2 zum Abschießen einer Waffe, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Druckflüssigkeitsquelle (17) Einrichtungen umfasst, die einen hydropneumatischen Speicher bilden.
  4. System nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche zum Abschießen einer Waffe, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass beim Ausfahren des Zylinders die Öffnungen (12, 13) des Zylinderkörpers (5) und der Kolben dazu angepasst sind, deren Verschiebungen durch schichtweises Austreten des beim Ausfahren der Kolben ausgestoßenen Fluids zu bremsen, das zwischen dem Körper (5) und dem äu-βeren Kolben (6) und zwischen den Kolben (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) selbst enthalten ist.
  5. System nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche zum Abschießen einer Waffe, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Druckgas Luft ist, und dass die Druckflüssigkeit Wasser ist.
