Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of devices for gripping shells for an artillery gun.
  • the firing rates required for modern artillery pieces dictate either fast firing rates over short durations of the order of several rounds per minute, or regular but spaced shots over long periods of time beyond twenty minutes.
  • the shells used have large masses between 42 and 48 kg. The handling of such shells at such rates requires the servants to the limits of their physical abilities. To remedy this problem, it is known to automate the loading of the weapon and it is also known to mechanize the feeding of the automatic loading of the weapon.
  • One of the main constraints to which a shell supply device is subjected is its ability to adapt to the loading angle of the weapon both in the site and in the field, especially since this position is caused to change between successive shots may have different pointing angles.
  • the patent JP-H03-113296 describes a shell-carrying device having a cradle receiving the shell, a rear jaw for at least partially surrounding the base of the shell, and a front fork for setting the shell wedging of the warhead.
  • a shell-carrying device having a cradle receiving the shell, a rear jaw for at least partially surrounding the base of the shell, and a front fork for setting the shell wedging of the warhead.
  • Such a device imposes a horizontal support of the shell and the liberation of the shell is done by rolling the shell to the right or left of the stretcher.
  • This device requires to deposit beforehand the shell on the stretcher. It does not allow the grip of a shell placed on a support.
  • the patent US5965837 describes a carrying arm for a shell having a cradle and a pivoting front jaw and partially surrounding the warhead. Again this device requires a prior deposit of the shell in the cradle. It does not allow the grip of a shell placed on a support.
  • the patent GB8878 discloses a gripping means of a shell having a rail and two jaws linearly movable along the rail and for adjusting the spacing of the jaws to the length of the shell. If the setting of the jaws allows the taking of a shell even placed on the ground, the release of the shell is difficult because it is necessary to move the jaws on which the shell is in support of its entire mass.
  • the invention proposes to solve a problem of reliability of the grip and the release of a shell, thereby solving a security problem.
  • the invention also makes it possible to adapt to the pointing angles of the weapon.
  • the rear jaw has a cylindrical imprint intended to correspond with the base of a shell.
  • a shell supply device 1 according to the invention comprises a fixed plate 2 serving as a support structure for the rest of the components of the device.
  • the fixed plate 2 comprises a first slide link 3.
  • This first slide link 3 comprises two rails 3a and 3b parallel in the form of circular arcs of the same center and a first rack 3c.
  • the first slide link 3 serves to pivotally guide a movable plate 4 which meshes with the first rack 3c via a motor (motor not visible).
  • the movable plate 4 also has a slide 5.
  • This second slide 5 comprises two rails 5a and 5b curved parallel to each other and parallel to the rails 3a and 3b of the first slide link 3.
  • the movable plate 4 also comprises a rack 5c.
  • This second rack 5c is intended to mesh with the pinion 6a ( figure 2 ) of a motor 6b of a base 6 of a movable pillar 7.
  • the base 6 thus motorized allows the movable pillar 7 to move along the second slide 5 in a circular portion of movement centered on the vertical pointing axis in the field 200 of a weapon, which axis is visible at figures 3 and 5 .
  • the movable pillar 7 is supported at its lower end by the motorized base 6 and it comprises, at its lower end a first pivot connection in axis location 31 whose movement is provided by a jack 8 integral with the base 6 by one of the ends and the movable pillar 7 by its other end.
  • the upper part of the movable pillar 7 comprises a second pivot connection in axis location 32 with the front end of a pivoting arm 9.
  • the relative movement between movable pillar 7 and pivoting arm 9 is provided by a jack 10 secured to the pillar mobile 7 by one of its ends and the pivoting arm 9 at its other end.
  • the pivoting arm 9 has at its rear end a gripping means 11 for gripping shells.
  • the gripping means 11 comprises a shell clip 11 having two jaws 12 and 13.
  • the distance between the jaws 12 and 13 is adjustable by a third cylinder 15 making it possible to translate the front jaw 12 towards the rear jaw 13 by means of a slideway 18 substantially aligned with the pivoting arm 9 ( see especially the figure 8 ) in order to adjust the distance between jaws 12 and 13 as a function of the length of the shells to be seized.
  • the opening of the gripping means 11 is provided by a fourth cylinder 14 secured to the pivoting arm 9 at one end and the rear jaw 13 at its second end.
  • the rear jaw 13 is pivotally mounted relative to the rear of the pivoting arm 9 (pivot axis 33) thus providing a clamp movement to be able to wedge a shell between the front jaw 12 and the rear jaw 13.
  • the jaw 12 comprises a frustoconical recess intended to correspond with the nose of a shell.
  • the jaw 13 is intended to seize the base of the shell (shell not shown).
  • the frustoconical recess of the front jaw 12 has an opening 12a oriented along a generatrix of the frustoconical portion. This opening 12a is oriented downwards and is wide enough to let a rocket shell.
  • the rear jaw 13 has a cylindrical imprint 13a able to surround at least partially the base of the shell.
  • the jaw 13a has an opening 13b intended to prevent the jaw from interfering with elements of the automatic loading described later and not shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • the device 1 is secured to an arrow 100 of a piece of artillery 20 large caliber (weapon size between 90 and 155 mm) by the fixed plate 2.
  • the artillery part 20 comprises a magazine shell 16 intended to provide a gripping area for shells for the gripping means 11 and storing several shells within reach of the gripping means 11.
  • the shelling magazine 16 is fed with shells by a conveyor 17.
  • the conveyor 17 comprises a shell receptacle 17a intended to receive a shell in a position substantially horizontal with respect to the ground and so that the shell's warhead is directed towards the front of the room.
  • a ramp 17b makes it possible to mount the receptacle 17a to a first end of a conveyor belt 16a of the magazine 16 to deposit a shell in a housing of the conveyor belt 16a.
  • the treadmill 16a is able to move a shell into a cradle 16b ( figure 5 ) articulated relative to the magazine 16 and which is itself able to lift the shell above the conveyor belt 16a with a specific cylinder. This lifting of the shell makes it possible to disengage the ends to make them accessible by means of gripping 11.
  • the gripping means 11 is being gripped a shell 30, for this the gripping means 11 is open by spacing the jaws 12 and 13 (jaws visible to the figures 2 and 8 ) under the action of the opening cylinder 14.
  • the spacing between the jaws 12 and 13 will have been previously adjusted by the spacer cylinder 15 (visible cylinder figure 8 ) so as to adapt to the length of the shell to be seized.
  • the jaws 12 and 13 are tightened under the action of the opening cylinder 14 so that the base of the shell 30 is placed in the footprint 13a of the rear jaw 13 and the warhead the shell is placed in the front jaw 12.
  • the shell is thus firmly gripped by the gripping means 11.
  • the pivoting arm 9 has pivoted in P-site axis 32 from the previous position capturing the shell 30 to a transfer site angle. This movement was obtained by the action of the jack 10.
  • the motorized base 6 and the movable pillar 7 have made a circular displacement G1 towards the automatic loading 51 on the second slide 5 of the mobile plate 4.
  • the pinion 6a driven by its motor has meshed with the second rack 5c of the movable tray 4.
  • the movable plate 4 has made a second circular movement G2 towards the automatic loading 51 thanks to the slide 3 and the rack and its associated motorization (rack and visible motorization figure 1 ).
  • the gripping means is placed at a bearing angle identical to that of the automatic loading of the weapon and is located above the loading platform 52 thereof ( figure 7 ).
  • the curved slides 3c and 5c are centered on the bearing axis 200 of the weapon to be able to follow the automatic loading and its nacelle whatever its angle of bearing.
  • the automatic loading is at its maximum location requiring the sliding of the movable plate 4 to the maximum stroke allowed by the first slide 3c.
  • the base 6 is located at the end of the race of the second slide 5c. For average bearing angles or located at the other pointing end, consider the possibility of sliding only the base 6, the movable plate 4 or only one of the two to align the gripping means 11 above the nacelle 52 which is the shell release zone.
  • the pivoting arm 9 is lowered until the deposit of the shell 30 in the nacelle 52, then the jaws 12 and 13 are opened by the opening cylinder 14. The shell is then dropped in the basket 52.
  • the opening 12a of the front jaw 12 allows the easy passage of the rocket shell without harmful interference with the jaw 12 and without requiring a separation of the jaws 12 and 13 equivalent to the total length of the shell this due to the reduced diameter of the shell at the rocket.
  • the rear jaw 13 has a downward opening so as not to interfere with a lug (non-visible lug) for shelling in the nacelle 52.
  • the loading device returns to a position located in the vicinity of the shell magazine in order to be able to anticipate the loading of the next shot and to allow firing without interference of the bolt with the device during the retreat. tear.
