Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drive kinematics with a crank for a particular linear supply of a closure or a cartridge in a gun barrel.
  • the energy to the weapon drive is not obtained from a gas pressure or a weapon return, but provided by an electric or hydraulic drive.
  • the rotary motion of the motor must be converted into an oscillating movement of the shutter.
  • the shutter in the end positions of its displacement requires downtime.
  • the sleeve of the previous shot In a first end position, the sleeve of the previous shot must be removed before the closure and a new cartridge be promoted in front of the closure before it is driven into the chamber of the gun barrel.
  • the lock In another end position, the lock must be locked and the cartridge ignited. After dropping the gas pressure in the gun barrel itself, the unlocking of the closure can then take place.
  • a rigidly locked straight-pull fastener for a foreign-powered machine gun is with the DE 36 27 361 C1 published.
  • a control roller is also proposed here.
  • a machine gun which, inter alia, has a cam drum which is actuated by external drive, used for linear movement of a straight-pull fastener.
  • the cam drum accordingly has a circumferentially endless control cam. Furthermore, a short radially acting control cam and a longer axially acting control cam are arranged on the circumference.
  • a drive comprising an engine and a crank and a connecting rod connected to the crank, wherein the connecting rod is connected at its rear end to the crank and with a front end to the closure via a pinion.
  • the FR 538 190 A shows a direct connection of the closure with a front end of a connecting rod.
  • control roller is integrated in the plane of the tube soul axis.
  • the control roller has a at least two control curves bearing control body.
  • the curve information is converted into a rectilinear feed of the shutter.
  • a linear supply of a closure to the gun barrel or chamber is not pre-published with the DE 10 2007 054 470.9 described.
  • a straight guide groove is integrated in the drive kinematics.
  • 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, firing, unlocking in its forward position and the reload after the shutter has been moved to its rear position.
  • a circumferential positive guide 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.
  • the invention is based on the idea to realize a mechanism which has a low acceleration of the closure and works jerk-free and shock-free, what the mass forces reduces the drive power and allows a cadence increase.
  • the reduction in drive power also causes a reduction in braking power in the case of a quick stop.
  • the rotation of a motor or the like is converted into a forward and backward movement of the shutter on the principle of the crank mechanism.
  • the connecting rod and crank are arranged radially displaceable to each other, so that the crank radius changes with the rotation of the crank.
  • the radial guidance of the connecting rod is taken over by a control curve.
  • crank drive has the advantage that low rotating masses (crank, motor and possibly transmission gear) are present, which must be braked in the event of a quick stop. He has also proved to be a simple structure.
  • Fig. 1 shows in a first general representation of a schematically illustrated drive 100.
  • a rotation axis M of a crank 1 and thus the crank 1 itself is driven by a motor or the like (not shown).
  • a connecting rod 3 is arranged with the rear end E h slidably in a groove 1.1 of the crank 1 and connected to the front end E v on the closure 20 and a driver 4 of the closure 20.
  • sliding means such as rollers 5 are arranged, which run in a control curve 6, which in the plan view shows itself as (thickly) bean-shaped.
  • the control curve 6 is defined by four different sectors or areas, by which the desired movement of the supply of the shutter 20 is generated.
  • the regions of the control curve 6 define the movements of the closure 20 as follows: ⁇ 1 - ⁇ 2 Lock 20 rear, constant radius around rear end position, ⁇ 2 - ⁇ 3 Forward movement closure 20 according to any function ⁇ 3 - ⁇ 4 Lock 20 in front, constant radius around front end position, ⁇ 4 - ⁇ 1 Backward movement of closure 20 according to any function.
  • the control cam 6 has a constant radius about the front or rear end position of the closure 20 in the areas ⁇ 1 to ⁇ 2 and ⁇ 3 and ⁇ 4 with the length of the connecting rod 3.
  • the shapes of the regions between ⁇ 2 to ⁇ 3 and ⁇ 4 and ⁇ 1 are given by the motion functions (eg sinoids), ie determined by the shutter movement. These are especially with regard to acceleration, max. Speed, jerk and shock freedom etc. can be optimized.
  • the way that the connecting rod 3 travels between the rear end position E v and the front end position E v1 corresponds to the displacement path of the closure 20.
  • the length of the connecting rod 3 and of the crank 1 or the crank groove 1.1 are matched and designed accordingly.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the drive 100 for the closure 20 of a particular foreign-powered weapon 21 (only partially shown).
  • a gun barrel 22 is mounted in a tube locking bushing 23 or on the weapon housing.
  • the closure 20 is lockable.
  • the shutter 20 can be moved to shutter guides 2 in the direction of the weapon barrel axis.
  • a crankcase also possible integration into a weapon housing, with a housing base 12 and, in the preferred embodiment, with an upper housing part 13.
  • the control cams 6 are each mirror-image integrated. If tilting of the axle 11 in only one control cam 6 can be ruled out, an upper housing part 13 can be dispensed with.
  • the control cam 6 can then be performed by the lower housing part 12 as a downwardly open groove.
  • Fig. 3 combined with Fig. 5 shows the VerInstitutept Meeting 4
  • the driving lug 4.1 is positively connected to the closure 20 and the toothing meshes with that of a pinion 9.
  • the pinion 9 meshes on the opposite side with housing-fixed racks 10 (this attachment is not shown in detail itself) and is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 3.1, which in turn is connected via a bolt to the connecting rod 3.
  • the connecting rod 3 and the crank 1 are connected by means of an axle 11, wherein the rotatably mounted on both ends of the axle 11 rollers 5 run in the cams 6 in the housing base 12 and upper housing part 13 and the axis 11 in the groove 1.1 of the crank 1 is displaceable ,
  • the crank 1 is mounted rotatably about the central axis M on the lower housing part 12, wherein the drive of the crank 1 by the engine via the central axis M takes place.
  • the crank 1 In order to produce the desired oscillating movement of the shutter 20 with waiting times in the reversal positions, the crank 1 is continuously rotated by the motor 2 via the central axis in a rotational movement.
  • the crank 1 takes the axis 11 in the direction of rotation.
  • the radial guidance of the axis is effected by the preferably two identical control cams 6 in the lower housing part 12 and upper housing part 13, in which the rollers 5 of the axle 11 are guided.
  • the axis 11 transmits its movement according to the shape of the control cam 6 by means of connecting rod 3 on the connecting rod 3.1 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • Fig. 5 shows that the connecting rod 3.1 is guided in grooves 15 in the housing lower part 12 and upper housing part 12 (not shown in detail), where the lateral forces are absorbed.
  • the pinion 9 of the connecting rod 3.1 rolls when moving on the housing-fixed racks 10 and turns.
  • the closure 20 can alternatively also be coupled directly to the front end of the connecting rod 3. Since the driver 4 is positively connected to the closure 20 via the driving lugs 4.1, the closure 20 is displaced parallel to the axis, but at least in the direction of the weapon barrel axis of the weapon barrel 22.
