Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weapon system with a relative to a substructure about a Azimutrichtachse arranged, carrying a weapon turret, arranged within the substructure, several ammunition stockpiling magazine for supplying the weapon with ammunition and ammunition from the magazine in the direction of the weapon promotional ammunition feeding ,
  • Such weapon systems are used, for example, in a mobile form as combat vehicles, tanks or howitzer or as stationary weapon systems on military buildings such as bunkers or other defenses.
  • the weapon systems have a gun arranged on a weapon tower, which is rotatably mounted relative to a substructure about a vertical Azimutrichtachse, whereby the weapon can be addressed laterally.
  • the substructure may be a mobile weapon system to the trough of a vehicle and at a stationary weapon station, for example, the protected area of a bunker on which the turret is mounted rotatably.
  • a plurality of ammunition storage-storing magazine is usually arranged in the protected interior of the base, from which the ammunition can be removed and the weapon arranged on the tower side can be supplied.
  • this ammunition supply in the direction of the weapon also takes place in modern military combat vehicles by hand by the so-called.
  • Loaders The loader first removes from the magazine an ammunition body, which he then aligns according to the directional position of the weapon or the turret. In a next step, the loader can then heave up the ammunition body in the area of the turret and bring him into the weapon or in the charging system associated with the weapon.
  • the invention therefore has the task of specifying a weapon system, which allows a simple and space-saving loading of the weapon.
  • the transfer element By the rotational movement of the transfer element to the Azimutrichtachse the turret ammunition taken from the magazine ammunition can be easily and space-saving manner adapted to the directional position of the turret and thus also to the weapon.
  • the physical effort of a loader when loading is significantly reduced. Because the loader does not have to adapt the ammunition body itself to the directional position of the weapon.
  • a rotatable about the azimuth aiming transfer element allows a very space-saving adaptation of the ammunition to the directional position of the turret.
  • the weapons system according to the invention thus enables easy loading of the weapon, without significantly reducing the space required by the loader.
  • the transfer element is also proposed to arrange this in ammunition flow from the magazine to the weapon between the magazine and the weapon.
  • ammunition stored in the magazine can be easily transferred to the transfer element.
  • the transfer element is arranged in an advantageous embodiment such that in the magazine stockpiled ammunition from the magazine the transfer element can be pushed or introduced into the transfer element.
  • the turret has a projecting into the region of the substructure tower basket.
  • the transfer element can be arranged, for example, in the lower region of the tower basket or connected thereto, so that the transfer element does not have to be supported relative to the floor of the vehicle.
  • the transfer element is configured as a turntable and is rotatable back and forth between a receiving position and a transfer position.
  • An embodiment as a turntable is particularly favorable in terms of space, because a turntable has only a very small amount, so that above the turntable still room for other components of the ammunition feeder and / or remains for a loader gunners.

  • the receiving tray can be arranged in different positions, so that even in the magazine at different locations arranged ammunition body in a simple manner can be introduced into the receiving tray.
  • Such a movement is particularly advantageous if the ammunition in the magazine are stored Petroreihig or if several magazines are arranged side by side, so that the stockpiled ammunition body does not have to be moved to a fixed Ausschubposition in the magazine.
  • the transfer element has several, in particular two receiving shells, which are arranged on opposite sides transversely to the azimuth aiming axis.
  • the speed of removal or the intake of ammunition bodies can be improved.
  • this embodiment is particularly advantageous when a very wide magazine is present, since then each receiving a tray for removal of ammunition bodies on one side of the magazine.
  • Two receiving trays are also particularly advantageous when two individual magazines are present, so that in each case a receiving tray is available for receiving ammunition stored in a magazine ammunition.
  • the receiving trays are arranged to be movable independently of one another transversely to the azimuth aiming axis. This allows greater flexibility, since then, for example, from two magazines ammunition can be removed, which are arranged in different positions in the respective magazine.
  • the weapon system on an ammunition lift for carrying ammunition bodies in the turret, which is arranged in the ammunition flow between the transfer element and the weapon.
  • the loading of the weapon can be further simplified and automated. Because the ammunition lift, for example, take on the task of charging protection to spend the ammunition body up in the turret.

  • ammunition body can be introduced into the weapon or in the barrel.
  • the charging device is arranged tower-fixed, the angle of rotation by which the holding cup is rotated, fixed, since only the transfer device allows an adjustment of the ammunition body to the directional position of the weapon. For example, depending on the position of the ammunition lift, the holding cup can be rotated by 90 ° about the axis of rotation.
  • the loading device can also be rotated about an axis perpendicular to the azimuth axis extending elevation adjustment axis.
  • a rotation about this axis allows an adjustment with respect to the alignment of an ammunition body to the elevation of the weapon.

Since the ammunition lift can be arranged on the edge of the tower basket due to the space saving, and the charging device can be arranged on the edge of the turret opposite to the weapon, so that next to the ammunition lift above the transfer element and below the charger canutzbarer space remains. This space can be taken, for example, by a gunner, because due to the fully automatic charging no charging contactors is needed.
  • the loading device can be moved linearly in such a way that the holding shell lies in the loading position in front of the weapon or weapon barrel, so that then in a next step the weapon can be loaded.
  • the loading device has a feed slide, with which in the loading position an ammunition body can be inserted into the weapon.

  • the transfer element 8 In the representations of the Fig. 1 and 2 the transfer element 8 is shown in a receiving position AN. In this position, the receiving cups 9 are aligned with the stocked in the magazine 6 ammunition bodies 5, so that they are inserted from the magazine 6 in the corresponding receiving shells 9.
  • the receiving trays 9 are mounted independently of each other transversely to the azimuth axis A movable. Since in the magazine 6 three ammunition bodies 5 are mounted side by side in the lowest level, a receiving position AN can be approached by the transverse movement of the receiving trays 9, in which a corresponding ammunition body 5 can be inserted directly from the magazine 6 into the receiving tray 9.
  • the transfer element 8 can then be rotated to adapt to the directional movements of the turret 4 to the azimuth axis A in the transfer position UG.

  • the lifting element 11 is moved upwards along the linear guide, the ammunition body 5 is lifted out of the receiving tray 9 of the transfer element 8 and moved upwards into the weapon tower 4 of the weapon system 1.
  • Fig. 4 folds the lifting element 11 together with the holding circuit 13 at the upper end of the stroke, so that the ammunition body 5 then lies in the holding cup 13 and is disposed above the lifting element 11.
  • the holding cup 13 can be picked up by a loading device 12 and then introduced into the weapon 3 in a next step.
  • FIG Fig. 5a to 5d The construction and the mode of operation of the charging device 12 will be described below in particular with reference to the various illustrations in FIG Fig. 5a to 5d be explained in more detail.
