Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of automatic loading systems large guns (75 mm to 140 mm) with ammunition, equipping the armored vehicles and battle tanks.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a device for bringing the munition from the storage area to the barrel chamber.
  • the document DE2330889 A1 discloses an ammunition loading system with a gripping device provided with pivotally mounted jaws.
  • the ammunition is carried in two places by rollers and taken by the gripper in the base of the sleeve.
  • the disadvantage of this system is that the ammunition is simply resting on the rollers and is taken out of the center of gravity.
  • the document WO 2006/051425 A2 discloses a weapon handling device for transporting and loading weapons on an aircraft or other vehicles.
  • the device is provided with a clamp which comprises rollers intended to be positioned on the periphery of the weapon to be maintained.
  • the weapon clamp further comprises a detachable link adapted to move at least one of the rollers from a first position where the weapon is held in position by contact with the rollers to a second position where the roll releases the weapon allowing its movement in a transverse direction.
  • This system has the disadvantage that the gripping takes place in the ammunition store and requires a clamp for each stored ammunition.
  • the clamp system has the disadvantage that it does not allow to slide the munition in a longitudinal movement necessary to transport a munition from the store to the barrel chamber.
  • US 6,460,448 B1 discloses a shell loading device in a mortar by the mouth.
  • This device comprises elevation means of the shell moving linearly through guides and jaws gripping its periphery. Arrived at the height of the mouth, the shell is translated by means of a transfer device to be positioned in the axis of the mortar and inserted into the mouth of the latter.
  • the invention aims to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing a new technical solution allowing the ammunition to be firmly held during its entire journey until the projectile is being inserted into the barrel chamber, leaving the ammunition scroll zone free in the magazine, while respecting the grip zones recommended by STANAGs standards.
  • the present invention relates to a gripping device for transporting ammunition
  • a gripping device for transporting ammunition comprising a support mounted to move in the longitudinal direction of the ammunition, said support comprising tabs delimiting a space for receiving the ammunition, said tabs being movably mounted in a plane.
  • perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the support and configured to, in use, adopt a so-called locking position where the legs are fixed and can surround the periphery of the munition and a so-called unlocking position where the legs are free to move in the plane perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the support to allow the passage of the entire munition in its direction and the space delimited by the tabs being of circular section with a diameter increasing in a direction from the head to the base of the ammunition intended to be received in the legs.
  • the figure 1 represents a partial view of the device for gripping the munition according to the invention. This is a view of the front face of the support, that is to say the face intended to abut against the breech of the barrel.
  • the figure 2 represents a rear view of the device of the figure 1 with a munition held between the legs of the gripping device.
  • the figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the legs of the gripper according to the invention now the munition.
  • the figure 4 is a schematic view of the various elements involved in transporting the munition from the sheath of the store to the chamber of the barrel.
  • the figure 5 represents schematically with sequential views (a) - (e) moving the munition from the magazine to the barrel chamber.
  • the present invention relates to a device for gripping the ammunition that can move longitudinally from the store where ammunition is stored to the barrel chamber.
  • the gripping device has several tabs 2 intended to be positioned on the perimeter of the sleeve of the ammunition 3 near its center of gravity and to grip the sleeve to a length sufficient to prevent tilting of the munition.
  • the positioning of the legs is determined according to the mass, the position of the center of gravity and the moment of inertia of the munition. Specifically, the legs cover an area between 1/3 and 2/3 of the height of the munition, this area may be less than 1/3 of the length of the ammunition.
  • the tabs are spaced apart around the perimeter of the ammunition socket and may be, for example, four in number spaced along four generatrices of the socket and in an equidistant manner.
  • the gripping device is equipped with a mechanism for locking / unlocking the tabs.
  • the tabs are fixed while in the unlocked position, they are free to move radially allowing a total passage of the munition in its longitudinal direction and, in both directions.
  • the gripping device comprises a support 1 provided with an opening to allow the passage of the ammunition ( fig.1 and 2 ).
  • the gripping tabs 2 are mounted on the support within the opening and can move radially between a locking position, said locking and an open position, called unlocking. In use, as explained below, the tabs move together between the locking position and the unlocking position.
  • each gripping lug has a first portion 2a flaring towards a second portion 2b in a direction extending from the front face of the support, i.e. the face intended to come into contact with the breech of the barrel towards the rear face of the support.
  • This first part 2a has a contact surface intended to match the slightly conical shape of the sleeve of the ammunition.
  • the second part 2b has a more flared shape facilitating the insertion of the ammunition in the legs.
  • the gripping device comprises a mechanism for unlocking the tabs actuated by contact with retractable fingers, said unlocking, with an external element.
  • the retractable fingers 4 are positioned on the front face of the support ( fig.1 ). In use, this face abuts against the breech of the barrel, which, via the retraction of the fingers inside of the support, triggers the joint opening of the legs and allows the ammunition to enter the barrel chamber.
  • the fingers 4 to the left and to the right triggers respectively and independently the radial opening of the tabs to the left and right.
  • Different systems can be envisaged to link the retraction of the fingers 4 to the radial expansion of the tabs.
  • each lower leg may be secured to a piece which is housed in a notch of another part secured to the finger 4 and, when the tabs are in the locked position.
  • the retraction of the finger 4 allows the release of the integral part of the lower leg and therefore causes its outward displacement under the effect of the weight of the ammunition.
  • the movement of the upper leg is linked to that of the lower leg, for example, via a gear (not shown). In the unlocked position, the tabs are thus free to move radially, the amplitude of the spacing being a function of the type of ammunition.
  • the gripping device further comprises a return mechanism for returning the support to the loading position of the magazine after the transport of the munition in the chamber of the barrel.
  • the mechanism includes a latch 12 visible to the figure 4 .
  • the latch 12 is pivotally mounted on the support 1 and provided with a stop 13.
  • the return mechanism further comprises a return finger 5, positioned on the front face of the support ( fig.1 ) and a return spring (not shown).
  • the retraction within the support of the return finger 5 triggers the retraction of the lock and therefore the return of the support under the effect of the return spring.
  • the connection between the return finger and the latch can be provided via a rod (not shown).
  • the length of the return finger is less than that of the unlocking fingers.
  • the support 1 seen in its entirety at the figure 4 has a shape close to a lying L.
  • the tabs 2 are arranged on the vertical portion of the L lying, that is to say the small portion of the L, while the horizontal portion of the L is intended to be positioned along the sleeve 6 comprising the ammunition 3 in the shop.
  • the drive mechanism of the support 1 comprises a fixed part 7 provided with a motor, a push frame 10 slidably mounted on this fixed part 7 and a carriage 9 itself slidably mounted on the push frame 10 by, for example, a chain system which connects the fixed part 7 to the carriage 9 (not shown).
  • the carriage 9 comprises a pusher finger 11 intended to move the munition 3 from the magazine 6 to the chamber of the barrel 8.
  • the displacement of the support 1 is effected, on the one hand, indirectly via the movement of the ammunition 3 which is clamped in the legs 2 of the support and pushed at its base by the pusher finger 11, and, secondly, via the carriage 9 which exerts pressure on the abutment 13 of the latch 12 secured to the support 1.
  • the operation of the device according to the invention is schematically represented at the figure 5 .
  • the support 1 is positioned at a given location in front of one of the sleeves 6 of the store, called the loading position.
  • the sheath 6 comprising the munition 3 to be loaded is through a conveyor (not shown) placed in the loading position ( Fig.5 (a) ).
  • the push frame 10 on which is mounted the carriage 9 provided with the finger 11 comes into action ( Fig.5 (b) ).
  • Finger pusher 11 exerts pressure on the base of the ammunition 3 to insert it in the space defined by the legs 2 which, by default, are in the locked position.
  • the support therefore accompanies the ammunition from the store to the barrel chamber in a movement longitudinal, preventing any tilting of the latter through the legs.
  • the device is naturally positioned in the locked position and unlocks automatically in contact with the breech of the barrel, when the ammunition engages in the chamber.
  • the device provides the ability to be permanently locked in the unlocked position, allowing the insertion of ammunition into the magazine through the device via the vehicle interior rather than through the back door of the magazine.
  • the device is not affected by the type of ammunition and the shape of the projectile, thanks to the fact that the maintenance is done only on the ammunition socket, and moreover with regard to the NATO calibres, in a compliant place. to the "grip area" recommended by the applicable STANAGS standards.
  • the device leaves totally free the ammunition scrolling zone within the store conveyor.
  • the device maintains the longitudinal axis of the munition rigorously parallel to the direction of the movement of the latter when moving to the barrel, and fixed in relation to the ammunition magazine.
