Description

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einem Modul für eine fremd angetriebene Waffe, durch das die Waffe auch im abgesetzten Betrieb einsatzfähig bleibt. Dazu weist das Modul eine autark arbeitende Strom- bzw. Energieversorgung auf. Das Modul bildet ein Munitionsmagazin bzw. ein Munitionstransportsystem ab, das mit der Energieversorgung kombiniert wird, wobei die Energieversorgung im bzw. direkt am Modul integrierbar ist.The invention is concerned with a module for a foreign-powered weapon through which the weapon remains operational even in remote operation. For this purpose, the module has a self-sufficient power or energy supply. The module forms an ammunition magazine or an ammunition transport system, which is combined with the power supply, wherein the power supply can be integrated in or directly on the module.

Automatische Rohrwaffen benötigen für einen Funktionszyklus (Patrone zuführen, zünden, auswerfen) einen Antrieb. Unterschieden wird dabei in eigen und fremd angetriebene Waffen. Eigen angetriebene Waffen sind beispielsweise Gasdrucklader während fremd angetriebene Waffen einen Fremdantrieb, wie Elektromotor, benötigen. Letztgenannte Waffen werden überwiegend auf Waffenträgern verbaut und beziehen die benötigte Energie aus dem (Bord-)Netz des Trägers.Automatic guns require a drive for a functional cycle (cartridge feeding, igniting, ejecting). Distinctions are made in own and foreign powered weapons. Self-propelled weapons are, for example, gas pressure boosters while foreign-powered weapons require an external drive such as an electric motor. The latter weapons are mainly installed on weapon carriers and obtain the required energy from the (on-board) network of the carrier.

Bei kleineren Kaliberwaffen ist es oftmals erwünscht, diese lafettierbaren Waffen auch im so genannten abgesetzten Betrieb einsetzen zu können. Das bedingt dann jedoch eine eigenständige Energieversorgung für den elektrischen Antrieb der Waffe.For smaller caliber weapons, it is often desirable to be able to use these lafettierbaren weapons in the so-called remote operation. However, this then requires an independent power supply for the electric drive of the weapon.

Bekannte Erfindungen sehen dazu separate Batterien vor, die neben der lafettierten Waffe gestapelt werden können. Die Energieversorgung für den elektrischen Antrieb erfolgt dann über Kabel, die mit den Batterien verbunden sind. Die Kabel ihrerseits benötigen dann Anschlüsse am Antrieb. Es versteht sich, dass diese Kabel im Schießbetrieb störend sein können. Die Batterien als auch die Kabel müssen des Weiteren separat mitgeführt werden, entweder im Trägerfahrzeug oder am Mann.Known inventions provide for separate batteries, which can be stacked next to the lafettierten weapon. The power supply for the electric drive is then via cables that are connected to the batteries. The cables then require connections to the drive. It is understood that these cables can be disturbing in the shooting mode. The batteries as well as the cables must also be carried separately, either in the carrier vehicle or on the man.

US 4 934 244 A offenbart ein Modul einer fremd angetriebenen Waffe, wobei das Modul ein Munitionsmagazin bzw. ein Munitionstransportsystem nachbildet und mit einer autark arbeitenden Strom- bzw. Energieversorgung versehen ist, die im bzw. am Modul integrierbar ist. US 4,934,244 A discloses a module of a foreign-powered weapon, wherein the module simulates an ammunition magazine or an ammunition transport system and is provided with a self-sufficient power or energy supply, which is integrable in or on the module.

In der Regel handelt es sich somit um drei voneinander unabhängige Komponenten - Waffe, Munition, Stromversorgung - die zudem nicht aufeinander abgestimmt sind.As a rule, these are therefore three independent components - weapon, ammunition, power supply - which are also not coordinated.

Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Energieversorgung aufzuzeigen, die die vorgenannten Nachteile umgeht.Here, the invention has the object to show a power supply that circumvents the aforementioned disadvantages.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.The object is achieved by the features of the protection claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, um störende Kabel und der gleichen um eine absetzbare Waffe einsparen zu können, für eine fremd angetriebene Waffe im abgesetzten Betrieb ein an bzw. mit der Waffe bzw. dem Antrieb direkt verbindbares Modul zur Verfügung zustellen, das die nötige Energieversorgung aufnehmen kann.The invention is based on the idea to be able to save annoying cables and the same to a deductible weapon for a foreign-powered weapon in remote operation a deliverable to or with the weapon or the drive directly connectable module available that the necessary Can absorb energy supply.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit, die Energieversorgung beispielsweise in die Lafette (Dreibein) einzubinden. Die nunmehr noch notwendigen Kabel sind kurz und übersichtlich. Allein die maximale Aufnahmekapazität scheint hier extrem begrenzt.It is possible to integrate the power supply, for example, in the carriage (tripod). The now still necessary cables are short and clear. But the maximum recording capacity seems extremely limited here.

Daher ist die Idee vorgesehen, die Energieversorgung im bzw. am Munitionsmagazin einzubinden, sodass das Modul nicht nur als Magazin für die Munition sondern auch als Energieversorgungsträger fungiert. Dieses Modul kann dann über eine einfache elektrische Steckverbindung mit der Waffe bzw. dem Antrieb verbunden werden.Therefore, the idea is envisaged to integrate the power supply in or on the ammunition magazine, so that the module not only acts as a magazine for the ammunition but also as a power supply carrier. This module can then be connected via a simple electrical plug connection with the weapon or the drive.

Bevorzugt hat sich die Integration der Energieversorgung am Magazingehäuse gezeigt. Dies kann in einer einfachen Form beispielsweise durch Aufschieben erfolgen. Alternativen sind klipps- oder scharnierartige Befestigungen. Dadurch wird eine leichte und schnelle Austausch- und Nachrüstbarkeit realisiert. Als einfachste Energieversorgung bieten sich Batterien an.Preferably, the integration of the power supply has shown on the magazine housing. This can be done in a simple form, for example by pushing. Alternatives are clip-type or hinge-type attachments. As a result, a quick and easy replacement and retrofitting is realized. Batteries are the simplest energy supply.

Das vorgenannte Modul hat nicht nur den Vorteil, dass es alle benötigten Komponenten in sich vereinigt, sondern dass nunmehr der elektrische Antrieb der Waffe, der Munitionsvorrat und die Kapazität der Energieversorgung aufeinander abgestimmt werden können. Batterie und Munitionsmagazin werden nicht mehr unabhängig voneinander gewechselt, sodass erreicht wird, dass immer genügend Energie- und Munitionsvorrat vorhanden sind.The aforementioned module not only has the advantage that it combines all the required components in itself, but that now the electric drive of the weapon, the ammunition supply and the capacity of the power supply can be matched. Battery and ammunition magazine are no longer changed independently, so that there is always enough energy and ammunition stock available.

Anhand eines einfachen Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
eine Vorderansicht des Moduls,
Fig. 2
eine Seitenansicht des Moduls.
Reference to a simple embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail. It shows:
Fig. 1
a front view of the module,
Fig. 2
a side view of the module.

In den Fig. ist mit 1 ein Modul gekennzeichnet, dass ein Munitionsmagazin 10 bzw. Munitionstransportsystem (MTS) nachbildet, das zur Aufnahme der (nicht näher dargestellten) Munition für eine fremd angetriebene, absetzbare (ebenfalls nicht weiter dargestellten) Waffe dient. Dabei zeichnet sich dieses Modul 1 dadurch aus, dass es auf eine abgesetzte Waffe aufsetzbar ist, und dass es die Waffe mit einer oder zwei verschiedenen Munitionsarten versorgen kann, sodass zwischen den beiden Modulhälften 1.1, 1.2 ein Freiraum 11 vorhanden ist. Alternativ kann die zweite Modulhälfte 1.2 zur Aufnahme der leeren Hülsen oder Zündversager etc. dienen. Dieser Aufbau des Moduls 1 in zwei Modulhälften ist jedoch nicht Bedingung.1 shows a module that simulates an ammunition magazine 10 or ammunition transport system (MTS), which serves for receiving the (not shown) ammunition for a foreign-powered, deductible (also not shown) weapon. In this case, this module 1 is characterized by the fact that it can be placed on a remote weapon, and that it can supply the weapon with one or two different types of ammunition, so that between the two module halves 1.1, 1.2, a free space 11 is present. Alternatively, the second module half 1.2 can serve for receiving the empty sleeves or ignition failures, etc. However, this structure of the module 1 in two module halves is not required.

Am Modul 1 ist, in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel, an der unteren Gehäusekante 2.1 eine austauschbare Energieversorgung 3 eingebunden, die in einer der vielen Möglichkeiten mittels Schwalbenschwanz-Montage 4 am Gehäuse 2 befestigt werden kann. An der Energieversorgung 3 und im Modul 1 befinden sich elektrische Kontakte 5, 6, die bei der Montage der Energieversorgung 3 miteinander in Kontakt kommen und den Stromkreis im Modul 1 derart schließen, dass Kontakte 7 im Freiraum 11 die Energieübertragung an die Waffe bzw. einem Antrieb der Waffe realisieren. Dazu sind zudem elektrische Verbindungen, wie Leitungen etc., im Modul 1 verlegt. Die Energieversorgung 3 sind beispielsweise zwei Akku-Packs. Diese sind so dimensioniert, dass genügend Leistung, inklusive Reserven, zur Verfügung gestellt wird, um die im komplett aufmunitionierten Modul 1 enthaltende Menge Munition mit der Waffe verschießen zu können.On the module 1, in this embodiment, at the lower housing edge 2.1 an exchangeable power supply 3 is integrated, which can be fixed in one of the many possibilities by means of dovetail mounting 4 on the housing 2. At the power supply 3 and in the module 1 are electrical contacts 5, 6, which come into contact with each other during assembly of the power supply 3 and close the circuit in the module 1 that contacts 7 in the free space 11, the energy transfer to the weapon or a Realize the drive of the weapon. In addition, electrical connections, such as cables, etc., are laid in module 1. The power supply 3 are, for example, two battery packs. These are dimensioned so that enough power, including reserves, is provided to fire the ammunition contained in the fully ammunitioned module 1 with the weapon.

Alternative Anbindungen der Energieversorgung 3 sind ihre seitliche Anordnung als auch die Anordnung oberhalb des Moduls 1. Ist eine Einbindung im Modul 1 vorgesehen, sollte die Größe des Modulgehäuses 2 diesem Einbau angepasst werden.Alternative connections of the power supply 3 are their lateral arrangement as well as the arrangement above the module 1. If an integration in the module 1 is provided, the size of the module housing 2 should be adapted to this installation.

Wichtig sollte aber sein, dass die Halterungen bzw. Befestigungsmaßnahmen für die Energieversorgung 3 quer zur Schussrichtung ausgerichtet sind, um so die Belastung beim Schuss besser ausnehmen zu können.It should be important, however, that the brackets or attachment measures for the power supply 3 are aligned transversely to the firing direction, so as to better exempt the load during firing.

Es versteht sich, dass neben den elektrischen Anschlüssen, Kontakten und Zuleitungen im Modul 1 auch Absicherungen eingebunden sind.It is understood that in addition to the electrical connections, contacts and leads in Module 1 also hedges are involved.
