Definitions

  • the invention relates to a selectively switchable closure and / or ammunition drive for supplying an ammunition / cartridge in a chamber of a gun barrel, with which in certain cases, the supply of the closure and / or ammunition can be prevented from closing while continuing the weapon drive ,
  • a selectively switchable closure and / or ammunition drive for supplying an ammunition / cartridge in a chamber of a gun barrel, with which in certain cases, the supply of the closure and / or ammunition can be prevented from closing while continuing the weapon drive .
  • Such a possibility must be provided inter alia for the cases in which no shutter movement may take place, for example, when the weapon is to be ammunitioned or ammunition is selected, which is located in the ammunition magazine or belt member further back.
  • a cartridge is presented to a closure and spent with the help of the shutter movement the cartridge in the gun barrel.
  • the shutter movement is based on downtime, in which the shutter must not be moved.
  • the DE 10 2007 054 470 A proposes for a linear feed of a closure to the gun barrel or cartridge chamber, to incorporate a straight guide in the drive kinematics.
  • a means is guided, which is constructively connected to the closure.
  • the guide groove is in turn surrounded by a circumferential forced guide, which in turn interprets the necessary stoppage times of the shutter during locking, firing, unlocking in its forward position and reloading, after which the shutter has been guided to its rear position.
  • a drive means for the closure 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.
  • the DE 30 21 179 A1 discloses a clutch mechanism having a drive shaft and an output shaft for use in a firearm. This mechanism in turn is able to couple the drive with a load or decouple the load.
  • the invention therefore arises, starting from the DE 3021179 A1 , the task to show a construction for the selective switching on and off of the respective drive from the weapon system.
  • the weapon is small build, is provided in the particular embodiment, a rear locking of the closure, since thereby the Zu210weg the ammunition can be made shorter. It falls away the otherwise necessary for a front lock space that would have to go through the ammunition until it reaches the chamber.
  • other closure designs are also possible, the selective switching on and off of the drives not depending on the locking type itself.
  • the closure guide with the necessary downtime is created by cams, between which a (control) is involved, which in turn is operatively connected to the closure carrier or directly to the closure.
  • a (control) which in turn is operatively connected to the closure carrier or directly to the closure.
  • This is a so-called weapon-resistant control cam for the shutter and around a locking curve for locking the closure.
  • the arms-tight control cam which is preferably integrated below the closure for the supply of the closure, cooperates with a first, longer connecting rod of the cam disc of the closure drive.
  • the connecting rod is attached / integrated with its rear end or bolt on / in the cam disc. With its front end (viewed in the direction of the weft), the connecting rod engages via teeth on a weapon-proof rack and on the slider of the closure carrier. In this case, a better transmission ratio for the shutter movement can be set.
  • short connecting rod is involved, which engages on the one hand in the slide and on the other hand means, whereby a functional connection between the gun-fixed control cam and the closure support or the closure is provided.
  • there are two roles wherein the lower roller in the arm-fixed control cam and the upper roller engage in a transverse groove in the closure carrier.
  • the zero position (closure of the closure) is integrated, in the locking curve, which is integrated in the closure carrier circumferentially, the downtime of the closure is defined during the firing position.
  • the ammunition feed is moved via the common drive.
  • a cooperating with this cam stepper with roller star then transmits this movement on a feed star, through which the ammunition is known to be placed in front of the shutter.
  • the feed star in turn performs a movement and brings a new ammunition in front of the shutter, the empty cartridge case in the belt member, etc. This is clocked by the step gear.
  • the common drive preferably consists of two, synchronizable, provided for example with an external toothing (curves) discs or wheels.
  • a separately drivable shift drum is integrated, which in turn can bring means into engagement or take-off with the respective drive.
  • This means can be an upper and lower 3-speed dog clutch.
  • the shift drum has circumferentially curves in which elements are guided, by means of which the means can positively and non-positively engage in the drives or release them, whereby the respective drive can be switched on or off.
  • a weapon is characterized in the figures, which is characterized by the straight line of a closure 2.1 or closure carrier 2 for feeding an ammunition 3 into a chamber 4 of a weapon barrel of the weapon 1.
  • a rear Verrieglung the shutter 2.1 is provided.
  • the closure 2.1 is frontally designed so that it engage in the groove of the sleeve bottom 4.1 of the cartridge or ammunition 3 and lead them forward into the chamber 4 and after taking the shot back from the chamber 4 and can place in a feed star.
  • the Lid réelle to the chamber 4 of the gun barrel 1 itself is achieved through the sleeve of the ammunition 3.
  • each of these external teeth 7, 8 engages a gear with teeth 9 and 10, for example, driven by an external drive 11 réelle.werden.
  • the gears 9, 10 are in turn carried by a driven by the external drive 11 shaft 22.
  • the supply of the closure 2.1 or closure carrier 2 takes place by means of the weapon system integrated scenes and guides for the feeding and downtime.
  • means 17, 18 which can engage in the gears 9 or 10 (or in neither of) positively and non-positively.
  • a separately drivable shift drum 12 through which the drives 5, 6 are selectively connectable (see Fig. 2 ).
  • the shift drum 12 have curves 15, in which so-called shift sleeves 13, 14 are guided, which in turn move the means, here jaw clutches 17, 18.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the drive 5, 6 from below.
  • a step gear 20 is incorporated, here a disc step transmission, with a complementary disc pair with locking and switching angle and a roller star 21 has.
  • the roller star 21 is set in motion by the curves of the disk pair and is functionally tuned with the drive shaft of the ammunition feed to the feed star 19.
  • the switching angle is determined by the part of the curve that causes the rotation of the roller star 21 by one step
  • the locking angle is determined by the part of the curve in which, despite rotation of the curve of the roller 21 does not change its position.
  • Fig. 4 shows in a plan view of the disc 5, in which a long connecting rod 26 is integrated and functionally connected thereto.
  • the long connecting rod 26 is used to convert the rotational movement of the disc 5 in a linear shutter movement and thus to the actual Movement of the closure / closure support 2 in cooperation with a short connecting rod 25.
  • the long connecting rod 26 is attached with its rear end or bolt on / in the cam 5 / integrated. With its front end (seen in the weft direction), the connecting rod 26 engages via a toothing 28 (FIG. Fig. 5 ) to a weapon-proof rack 29 and a slider 27 of the closure carrier 2 at.
  • a better transmission ratio for example, 1: 2
  • This has the advantage that the diameter of the crankcase (discs 5 + 6) can be made smaller by half than in a 1: 1 transmission. This is associated with a lower weight.
  • the short connecting rod 25 is held on the one hand in the slide 27 and guided with this. On the other hand, the short connecting rod 25 engages in one above the connecting rod 25 and below the closure carrier 2 (FIG. Fig. 5 ).
  • the short connecting rod 25 is guided in a gun-fixed control cam 30 and takes on displacement of the slider 27 by the long connecting rod 26 due to the engagement in the transverse groove 31 the lock carrier 2 to the rear or to the front. In the rear end position, the so-called dead center of the feed, the connecting rod 25 is pivotable. This makes it possible that the lock carrier 2 in this rear position when the ammunition 3 is supplied, can stop (downtime), while the system or the slider 27 is still a small way on.
  • control cam 30 has an end point 30.1, into which the connecting rod 25 is pushed. Due to the pivotability of the slide 27 can continue despite the end point 30.1 in the cam 30 below this. This construction realizes the shut-down time of the closure - back - in which the ammunition loading takes place.
  • Lock carrier 2 and closure 2.1 are structurally connected to one another via a catch 33, which is functionally fixedly connected to the closure 2.1.
  • the locking of the shutter 2.1 is realized by a further, integrated in the lock carrier 2 locking curve 32 (groove), in which the driver 33 can escape to close.
  • the shutter 2.1 is guided by a (gun housing) fixed part 40.
  • the closure carrier 2 is guided further over the upper curve into a locking curve 32, which is preferably integrated above the closure carrier 2 in order to be able to lock the closure 2.1 in / on the part 40 (locking lugs 41 in FIG Fig. 2 ).
  • For locking then runs the cam 33 from the curve 32.1 in a locking path 32.2 of the locking cam 32.
  • a floating (return-receiving) storage for the closure 2.1 is realized in the firing position ( Fig. 6 ).
  • the shift drum 12 brings in the event of shutdown or removal of the ammunition feeder 6 from the system, the jaw clutch 18 from the toothing or the gear 10. There is no more power transmission from the gear 10 to the drive 6. The shutter drive 5 is still switched. By advancing the shift drum 12, the dog clutch 18 can be brought back into frictional engagement with the teeth 10, so that the ammunition feed 6 is switched on again.
