Definitions

  • the invention relates to a submarine with a Whyausdorfvorraum.
  • Weapon ejection devices are known in the art. In principle, a distinction will be made between two types of discharge. In a first type, the weapon leaves the device by its own power, for example, a torpedo can leak from its own power from a gun barrel or leave a missile from its own power a gun barrel. In a second way, the weapon is actively ejected from the barrel. Advantage of this second type is that the weapon is accelerated quickly to an initial speed, with no energy from the weapon, but from the much larger weapons carrier, such as a warship, is provided. Only after this ejection and outside of the gun barrel the drive of the weapon is activated, provided that the weapon has a drive.
  • the at least one endless conveyor element has at least one first weapon entrainment element, wherein a weapon can be ejected by a partial circulation of the at least one endless conveyor element through the at least one first weapon entrainment element.
  • a partial circulation the route is considered, which runs an endless conveyor element parallel to the Kumarausdorfcardi.
  • Advantage of the weapon ejection device according to the invention is that the weapon ejection device can be recharged immediately after the gunshot.
  • the at least one first weapon-carrying element does not have to be retracted first, which would block the space for reloading the weapon, but runs through the circulation of the at least one endless conveyor element outside the area occupied by the weapon, back to the ejection position.
  • Another advantage is that a relatively quiet and commercially available drive system can be used for the ejection of the weapon.
  • Endless conveying elements are known and available from a variety of applications. It is possible to operate endless conveyor elements with a variety of drive systems. Particularly preferably, the endless conveyor element is electrically driven, since an electric drive can be made comparatively compact and quiet.
  • the weapon ejection device according to the invention is an arms ejection device for a watercraft.
  • a weapon can be ejected by half a revolution of the at least one endless conveyor element through the at least one first weapon entrainment element.
  • the invention is to be understood by a half-round the distance which sets the endless conveyor element linearly back, the proportion of the endless conveyor element, which contributes to the total length of the endless conveyor element by the deflection roller is neglected in this case.
  • the weapon ejection device has at least a first and a second endless conveying element.
  • the first and second endless conveying elements have the same length and are arranged opposite each other in the weapon ejection device. With more than two conveying elements, these are preferably distributed uniformly along the circumference.
  • the at least one first weapon-carrying element of the first endless conveying element and the at least one first weapon-carrying element of the second endless conveying element are arranged for jointly ejecting the weapon. By this arrangement, the weapon is driven simultaneously by two endless conveying elements via two weapon driving elements.
  • the advantage is that especially for heavier weapons, for example, with torpedoes with a diameter of 533 mm and a weight of up to 1.7 t, the necessary power for the drive can be provided by two drives, which is technically easier and lighter in weight as a single system with correspondingly more powerful drive. Due to the opposite arrangement of the two endless conveyor elements, the longitudinal direction of the two endless conveyor elements is parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the weapon and the Philausschschutter.
  • the direction of the weapon supply is at right angles to the plane defined by the first and second endless conveying elements.
  • the surface spanned by the first and second endless conveying elements is defined by the plane in which both the center of gravity axis of the weapon and the center of gravity axis of the first endless conveying element and of the second endless conveying element lie.
  • the first and the second endless conveying element lie in a horizontal surface and the weapon supply takes place for this purpose at right angles, vertically from above.
  • Advantage of this particular embodiment is the symmetrical structure with two endless conveyor elements, two conveyor units and at least two holding units.
  • the conveyor units can be designed to rotate, wherein the at least one holding unit are each guided around an endless conveyor element.
  • a simple and fast delivery of a large number of weapons is possible.
  • the invention relates to a watercraft with a Whyausdorfvorraum invention.
  • Watercraft are, for example, surface vehicles, such as corvettes, frigates, destroyers and cruisers, and submersibles, such as submarines.
  • the vessel is a submarine.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show a second Pleausrichvorraum 12 analogous to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 before and after the ejection of the weapon 60 in a schematic cross-section.
  • the difference of the second weapon ejection device 12 from the first weapon ejection device 10 is that the second weapon ejection device 12 has two endless conveying elements 20.
  • the two first weapon-engaging elements 50 are, as shown, arranged opposite each other, so that the weapon 60 is ejected together by both first weapon-carrying elements 50.
  • the second weapon-carrying elements 52 are arranged accordingly. Advantage of this arrangement is that even heavier weapons 60 can be ejected well.
  • FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross section transverse to the longitudinal direction of the third Pleausrichvorraum 14.
  • the third Pleausrichvortechnisch 14 has two endless conveyor elements 20 which are each driven by a toothed belt transmission 110 by a motor 100, preferably an electric motor.
  • the third has Weapon ejection device 14, a weapon supply device, which consists of two conveyor units 80, each having a plurality of holding units 90.
  • the holding units 90 are rod-shaped.
  • a holding unit 90 of both conveyor units 80 each carry a weapon 60. After the discharge of the lowermost weapon 60, the gun feeder can quickly carry another weapon 60 in the ejection position.
  • the weapons 60 are stored in a magazine above the ejection position, whereby the supply of the weapon 60 is easy to implement.
  • FIG. 6 a fourth gun ejector 16 is shown. Unlike in FIG. 5 shown third Pleausrichvorraum 14, the gun feeder is designed to rotate here.
  • the two conveyor units 80 are designed as conveyor chains. In this way, the fourth weapons ejection device 16 from above more weapons 60 are supplied. As a result, the number of ejected weapons 60 is not limited by the size of the magazine.
  • the fourth weapon ejector 16 is in FIG. 7 in a schematic horizontal cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the fourth weapon ejection device 16 is shown.
  • the two conveyor units 80 must be arranged in the ejection direction behind the weapon 60 and that the holding units 90 are designed as load-bearing rods.
