Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of shells handling devices for artillery pieces.
  • the patent US4947728 discloses a shell handling device having an articulated arm and a shell transfer means located on the same plane which is different from the pointing angle of the weapon.
  • the articulated arm is a complex and fragile organ.
  • an articulated gripping means that adapts both to the angular position in the shell site in its storage area and to the angular position of the weapon chamber. to feed.
  • These angular variations of the gripping means make the articulated arm even more complex and therefore fragile.
  • the invention makes it possible to eliminate the angular variations of the gripping means relative to the arm articulated thus limiting the complexity and the risks weighing on the reliability of the articulated arm.
  • the invention proposes to make it faster to load an artillery piece in shells and to reduce the duration of installation or departure of the piece on its firing position.
  • the invention also allows loading without intervention of an operator.
  • the invention relates to a gun handling device for a piece of artillery including a weapon, handling device comprising an articulated arm site and bearing and provided with a shell gripping means for transporting weapons. shells from an intermediate zone to a loading stretcher, characterized in that the arm can move around the bearing axis of the weapon and in that the device comprises a transfer means for shells comprising a trough in which is deposited a shell, bucket moving from an initial position to an intermediate position by a translation combined with a rotation of the bucket, rotation of the bucket for orienting the rocket of the shell in a direction adapted to loading, the translation of the bucket being operated along a rail so as to position the shell on the intermediate position accessible to the gripping means of the articulated arm, the rail comprising a fixed rail portion and a tiltable rail portion so as to tilt the bucket to the intermediate position so as to place the longitudinal axis of the bucket substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the gripping means.
  • the rotation of the bucket is effected on 180 degrees.
  • the transfer means may comprise a carriage that can move on the rail, carriage carrying a first drive means cooperating with a rack of the rail.
  • the transfer means may comprise a second motorization means for rotating the bucket relative to the carriage.
  • the tilting rail portion may tilt along an inclination axis which will form, in a plane parallel to the rail plane, an angle with the longitudinal direction of movement defined by the rail.
  • the arm is secured to a support base which can slide on a curved rail centered on the bearing axis of the weapon.
  • a piece of artillery 100 has shell shells 102 disposed laterally to the piece 100.
  • the piece of artillery includes a platform 108 carried by a vehicle, such as a truck (only a rear wheel 109 of the truck is visible here).
  • the platform 108 also carries the shell shells 102.
  • a piece of artillery is for example described by the patent. FR2893710 .
  • a weapon 103 is mounted on a line 104 in order to make the weapon 103 steerable in site and in the field.
  • a handling device 1 is disposed between the plate 104 and the shells 102 to shells to transport shells from the lockers 102 to a loading stretcher 105 of the weapon 103 integral with the weapon in the field.
  • the bins 102 are arranged along the platform 108.
  • the axes of the shells placed in the bins are perpendicular to a direction of advance of the vehicle, or in other words substantially parallel to the axes of the axles of the vehicle.
  • the shells can be easily introduced into the traps 102 by operators from the sides of the platform 108.
  • the handling device 1 comprises on the one hand an articulated arm 2 site and bearing and on the other hand a transfer means 3 for the shells.
  • the transfer means 3 comprises a bucket 4 having a cylinder portion shape and intended to receive a shell 10 from a nearby shell locker 102.
  • the shell is placed on the bucket 4 in an orientation that is the same as that occupied by the shell in the locker 102.
  • the bucket 4 is thus disposed parallel to the direction of storage of the shells in the lockers so that the removal of the shell 10 in the bucket 4 is easy.
  • the shells are thus deposited in their storage direction, that is, rocket 10a directed towards the outside of the part.
  • the shell 10 is led from the bin 102 to the bucket 4, either manually by an operator, or with the aid of a manipulator arm (not shown) which is integral with the bin 102 and which can take a shell 10 in the rack 102 using a clamp and lead to the bucket 4. It would also be possible to manually position on the bucket 4 shells from a box located near the artillery piece 100 .
  • Such a manipulator arm is of relatively simple design since it moves in only two orthogonal directions: a vertical direction to raise and lower the clamp in the locker 102 or above the bucket 4 and a horizontal direction to bring closer the shell 10 of the bucket 4. During these movements the shell 10 retains the orientation it had in the locker 102.
  • the bucket 4 is able on the one hand to pivot about an axis 4a perpendicular to its longitudinal axis 10b and secondly can be translated along a transfer rail 11 thanks to a sliding link.
  • the rail 11 determines a longitudinal direction of displacement ⁇ for the bucket 4. This direction here forms an angle which is substantially equal to 45 ° with the direction of advance of the vehicle.
  • the transfer means 3 comprises a carriage 33 comprising rollers 34 intended to roll along the rail 11 thus forming a slide-type connection.
  • the carriage 33 comprises a first motorization means 31 which comprises a pinion which meshes with a rack 35 secured to the rail 11 in order to propel the carriage 33 along the rail 11.
  • the carriage 33 carries the bucket 4 which can pivot about the bucket pivot axis 4a which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10c of the shell 10 and the bucket 4.
  • a second motor means 32 allows to actuate the pivoting of the bucket 4 relative to the carriage 33.
  • the rail 11 comprises a first fixed rail portion 11a which makes it possible to move the trough 4 along the longitudinal direction of displacement ⁇ from an initial position ( figure 2 ) which is close to the shells 102 to shells to a position which is close to the line 104.
  • the rocket 10a of the shell 10 is progressively oriented towards the interior of the piece 100.
  • the progressive orientation of the rocket 10a of shells towards the interior of the piece 100 makes the shell capable of being introduced in the weapon 103 with its rocket 10a forward as we will see later.
  • the carriage 33 of the transfer means 3 passes from the fixed rail portion 11a to the tilting rail portion 11b.
  • the length of the carriage 33 is less than the length of the tilting rail 11b.
  • this rail portion can be effectively tilted ( figure 7b ).
  • This tilting rail portion 11b is articulated relative to the fixed portion 11a at a hinge 36.
  • the inclination is controlled by a motor means such as a cylinder 20 visible at the figure 7b .
  • This inclination allows position the axis of the shell 10c in a direction facilitating its carriage by the articulated arm 2 which is also inclined and can approach the shell to seize it as we will see later.
  • the shell is thus on the bucket 4 in an inclined position, rocket oriented towards the piece 100, on a position called intermediate position.
  • the rail 11 is rectilinear is arranged in the longitudinal direction of displacement ⁇ which is a direction connecting in straight line the initial position of the shell to a terminal position preceding the inclination of the bucket on the intermediate position so that that the shell travels the shortest distance between these two positions to save time travel.
  • the inclination of the tilting rail to the intermediate position 7a is by the articulation 36 about the axis 11c and by means of the cylinder 20.
  • the inclination axis 11c is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the piece and forms, in a plane parallel to the plane of the rail 11, an angle ⁇ of about forty-five degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction of displacement ⁇ defined by the rail 11.
  • the articulated arm 2 is mobile in site and in bearing.
  • the arm 2 is secured to a support base 37 which is slidably mounted on a curved rail 14 centered on the bearing axis 110 of the lug 104.
  • a motor (not shown) makes it possible to move the base 37 carrying the arm along the rail 14, which allows the arm 2 to move in a bearing between the intermediate position described previously and the position of deposit of the loading stretcher 105 which is a function of the pointing angle in the field of the weapon 103.
  • the arm 2 is steerable in situ thanks to a hinge 106.
  • the arm 2 comprises at one of its ends a gripping means 107 of shells 10 such as a gripper 107 for example, gripping means 107 which is better seen to the figure 4 .
  • the clamp 107 has jaws that come to cap and grip the shell.
  • Such a clamp 107 is known for example from the patent application FR15-02026 .
  • Other types of pliers could be adopted. For example that described by the patent application FR3015017 .
  • the inclination of the bucket 4 by means of the tilting rail 11b makes it possible to predispose the shell 10 to its position making it possible to promote its grip by the articulated arm 2, placing in particular the longitudinal axis 10c of the shell 10 substantially parallel to a position that can be occupied by the longitudinal axis 107a of the gripping means 107 when the arm 2 is positioned in position above the bucket 4.
  • the gripping means 107 can come to seize the shell 10 located in the bucket 4 and can then rotate in site and in bearing to transport the shell 10 to the loading stretcher 105 to deposit the shell 10 as visible in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the trough 4 can make a return path to its initial position by performing the reverse course to the one it has carried out to bring the shell 10 in the intermediate position. A new shell can then be deposited on the bucket during the loading phase of the previous shell in the chamber of the weapon.
  • the shell handling device makes it faster to load a piece of artillery shells by allowing a simple movement of the arm 2 which always returns to seize the shell in the same place, ie on the intermediate position.
  • the invention also allows loading without intervention of an operator between the removal of the shell on the initial position of the bucket and the removal of the shell in the loading stretcher.
  • the automation of the loading shell can be carried out completely from the shell to the shelves in place of the shell in the chamber of the weapon.
