Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vehicle, for instance a tracked vehicle or a rotated vehicle of military type, provided with revolving turret with artillery means.
  • the turret is also usually provided with one or more machine guns and with various pointing and vision means or systems, such as a stabilized night/day periscopic viewer for the commander, a stabilized viewer with thermal view and laser telemeter for the gunner, apart from a fire controlling computer. This last one receives data from the various sensors of the vehicle and is able to process all the data for determining the best firing conditions.
  • various pointing and vision means or systems such as a stabilized night/day periscopic viewer for the commander, a stabilized viewer with thermal view and laser telemeter for the gunner, apart from a fire controlling computer. This last one receives data from the various sensors of the vehicle and is able to process all the data for determining the best firing conditions.
  • a trunnion assembly having a pivot pin with longitudinal axis defining a pivot axis weapon carrier with respect to a support member.
  • This trunnion assembly may be part of a rotatable turret mounted on a vehicle.
  • the base of the turret has a centrally located hatch that allows an operator to gain access to the turret. The hatch opens towards the trunnion assembly.
  • the Applicant has realized a vehicle provided with revolving turret with armament which communicates with the interior of the vehicle through an emergency hatch, preferably armor-plated, which opens at the bottom or the basis of the turret toward the interior of the armor-plated vehicle.
  • An aspect of the present invention relates to a vehicle provided with revolving turret having the characteristics of the attached claim 1.
  • the vehicle according to the present invention comprises an armor-plated cockpit 2 and preferably a track motion system 3 or alternatively rotated and is provided with a central revolving turret 4 upon which is mounted main armament 5 which is usually constituted by a cannon or by another weapon or actuator.
  • This cannon can be provided with thermal sensors and usually has a system for the gas recovery and fire damping and is also hydraulically stabilized.
  • the turret is also usually provided with one or more machine guns 6 and with various pointing and vision means or systems, such as a stabilized night/day periscopic viewer 7 for the commander, a stabilized viewer with thermal view and laser telemeter for the gunner, apart from a fire controlling computer.
  • various pointing and vision means or systems such as a stabilized night/day periscopic viewer 7 for the commander, a stabilized viewer with thermal view and laser telemeter for the gunner, apart from a fire controlling computer.
  • the latter receives data from the various sensors of the vehicle and is able to process all the data for determining the best firing conditions.
  • the turret is connected to the armor-plated cockpit of the vehicle by means of a circumferential fifth-wheel 8 which allows the complete revolving (by 360°) of the turret with respect to a vertical axis passing through the centre of this fifth-wheel.
  • basis 9 of this turret presents a hatch 10 for the communication between the interior of the turret where there are the controls for the main and auxiliary armaments, and the interior of cockpit 2 of the vehicle.
  • This hatch permits the access to the turret not only from outside and from the top of the vehicle, as traditionally happens, but also by the personnel who is inside the cockpit itself of the vehicle, for the purpose of, for instance, looking over through episcopes, refilling the ammunition chest, carrying out emergency shots, having another escape way from the cockpit of the vehicle itself and carrying out maintenance operations.
  • This hatch opens at the bottom or basis of the turret toward the interior of the cockpit of the vehicle by means of a couple of opposed hinges 11.
  • this hatch has a quadrangular or rectangular shape.
  • the hatch is also provided with closure means 12 and grasping means 13 which are accessible from the interior of the cockpit of the vehicle.
  • the turret according to the present invention does not have parts which enter the hull or the cockpit of the vehicle.
  • the only communication or connection element is hatch 10.
