Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weapon control unit comprising a security device for a foreign-propelled weapon, in particular for a multi-barrel weapon, in order to avoid undefined weapon conditions.
  • the DE 44 23 750 A1 discloses an automatic monotube firearm for endlessly deliverable cartridge ammunition.
  • Two counter-rotating drums are used, each with six symmetrically arranged, movably mounted half-chambers. These form between the two drums directly opposite the barrel a cartridge chamber completely closed on the circumference. Simultaneously with the opposite rotation of the drums of the cartridge belt is moved through the respective chamber with. Between the drums while a temporarily closed, the combustion gas pressure resistant cartridge chamber is formed.
  • Spring elements provide the half-chambers for the purpose of optimal transportability of the cartridge belt in the most favorable pivoting direction prior to engagement in the cartridge belt.
  • a firing of the firing pin via a toothing of a control disc and whenever it is ensured that the chamber is completely closed.
  • the rotation of the half chambers via gears of a pneumatic gear motor, which is driven by the returned muzzle gases. This results in a somewhat shorter construction and a much higher rate of fire (cadence).
  • This external drive moves the tube bundle and the impact mechanism with the firing pin for firing, wherein each barrel of the tube bundle can be assigned its own firing pin.
  • the weapon drive can stop at or in an undefined position. If, in such a case, the firing pin is at the edge for the firing of the shot, there is the undesirable possibility that there will be an unwanted shot, for example by vibration of the weapon.
  • the invention has the object to incorporate a security device, which excludes in particular an unwanted shot.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the external drive is braked for braking, for example, and after a short time delay in the opposite direction runs back by a certain distance. In this way, the firing pin is pulled backwards from the edge and brought into a safe state. The return of the firing pin is realized even in case of failure of the supply voltage, which can be implemented for example by the integration of an emergency power supply.
  • the reverse rotation of the external drive is preferably limited to a short period and thus short path and then turned off. This prevents overloading of the drive.
  • the idea can be implemented by a weapon control unit, which shorts the drive for braking when releasing the fire button and drives this drive after a short time delay such that the drive runs in the opposite direction. As a result, the weapon is always transferred to a controlled state.
  • Fig. 1 is a multi-tube weapon 1 with, for example, 8 individual tubes 2 shown, which are combined to form a so-called tube bundle 3.
  • a closure part 15 of the weapon 1 has a plurality of chambers for receiving a firing pin 4 and is rotated together with the barrel bundle 3.
  • each tube 2 in the closure member 15 is associated with a separate firing pin 4 which is tensioned over a ramp / ramp 9 of a firing pin trigger 5 and, in the embodiment shown here, deflects over an edge 8 in the upper position.
  • the triggering of the respective firing pin 4 is effected by a firing pin 5, which is designed here in the form of a fixed disc.
  • a Munitionsgurt is marked, with 10 an electric drive.
  • Regarding the full function of this weapon 1 is explicitly on the DE 10 2010 017 876 A1 directed.
  • Fig. 2 shows the development of the firing pin 5 release Fig. 1 , In this illustration, the shot is fired only at one point 7 of the firing pin 5. This position 7 is formed as edge 8 with subsequent rising slope 9. The triggering bolt 4 slides spring-assisted to trigger along the edge 8 down and is stretched over the subsequent slope 9 again.
  • Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of the weapon electronics 20.
  • a fire button is marked, which is connected to a safety device 13. This is in turn electrically connected to the weapon drive 10.
  • the weapon electronics 20 draws their power from a power supply 11, wherein an emergency power supply 14 is provided.
  • the weapon 1 With an on / off switch (not shown in detail), the weapon 1 is supplied with power.
  • the fire button 12 switches the supply voltage (11) to the drive (motor) 10.
  • the weapon drive 10 is moved as long as the fire button 12 is pressed.
  • the button 4 is released, the drive 10 stops, the weapon 1 stops the fire.
  • a no longer influenceable situation for example when releasing the fire button 12 or in the event of a power failure, it may happen that the weapon drive 10 stops at an undefined position. It may happen that the firing pin 4 is at the edge 8 for the shot trigger.
  • the safety device 13 of the weapon control unit 20 causes now that when releasing the fire button 12, etc., the drive 10 is short-circuited for braking, for example, and after a short time delay in the opposite direction runs back by a certain distance. In this way, the firing pin 4 is pulled away from the edge 8 backwards and brought into a safe state.
  • the return of the firing pin 4 is realized even in case of failure of the supply voltage, which can be implemented for example by the integration of the emergency power supply 14.
  • the reverse rotation of the external drive 10 is preferably limited to a short period and thus short path and then turned off.
