Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of storage and transport devices towed and guided ammunition medium gauge, in particular being inside a turret mounted on a shielded vehicle, as for example described in the document patent DE2448313C .
  • the invention could also be applied where appropriate to production lines in large series of bottles with conveying.
  • Racks, magazines, racks or medium-ammunition storage bays for armored vehicle turrets are known in which the storage is performed on a single or double turntable often located at the rear of the turret while the guide, the towing and delivery of the ammunition takes place between this (s) plateau (x) and the barrel located generally at the front of the turret, passing through various specific structures for guiding, towing and / or routing such as conveyors and ratchet boxes.
  • the passage of medium-caliber ammunition between the rack and its routing structures and the barrel can be done through hoses.
  • HDPE strips can be placed along the conveyance to reduce friction between the structure and the medium caliber ammunition. during the displacement of the latter, in other words reduce the risk of detachment of bands or chains of ammunition of medium caliber.
  • a ratchet box designating a device containing a ratchet wheel, whose curved teeth make it possible to better match the shape of medium-caliber ammunition and their link, facilitates the handling of medium-caliber ammunition until in the cannon, in addition to its role dedicated to towed and guided transport (see above).
  • the present invention aims to provide a device that reduces the friction occurring in the path of medium-caliber ammunition without using a driving force, for example electric, other than that proposed by the gun engine.
  • the invention also aims to optimize the space used inside the turret and to facilitate access to the compartments of the device for (re) loading and / or unloading.
  • the invention also aims to provide means for (re) loading and / or unloading medium caliber ammunition at the feeder (s) from the inside and / or outside of the turret.
  • the invention also aims to allow ease of use of medium-caliber ammunition rack during (re) loading and / or unloading operations.
  • the invention simultaneously aims to simplify the mechanism to prevent as much as possible the risk of failure and increase reliability.
  • the object of the invention is also to provide a device adapted to any type of medium-caliber ammunition (typically 15 to 50 mm) without any modification of its constituent elements.
  • a first aspect of the present invention relates to a device for supplying medium-caliber ammunition to a turret mounted on a shielded vehicle, comprising at least one rotating circular plate, capable of being placed behind said turret, for medium-sized ammunition positioning in web or warp, vertically and in a spiral path, followed by structural elements for guided and towed delivery of at least one medium caliber band or chain of ammunition, which include at least one conveyor and a ratchet box, characterized in that said guided and towed conveying structural elements successively comprise a first conveyor, a first ratchet box, a second conveyor and a second ratchet box, said rotating circular plate and said structural elements guided and towed transport being all covered by a sheet metal protection on their lateral faces ales and / or on an upper part or roof, said sheet metal protection having rotatable or pivotally mounted movable hatches, allowing partial or full and ergonomic (re) loading and / or unloading of the rotating circular plate in medium-caliber ammunition, either when
  • a second aspect of the present invention relates to a shielded vehicle turret comprising a medium-caliber ammunition supply device as described above, as well as a barrel and hoses for connecting said guided routing structural elements. and cannulated at one end of said structural elements located on the same side as the barrel within the turret, for example on the side of the commander of the armored vehicle.
  • the junction between the medium-caliber ammunition rack 1 and the barrel is made through hoses (see item 61, on Figures 7 and 8 ) connecting the second ratchet box 42 to the barrel.
  • the presence of two feeders 21, 22 in this embodiment defines the routing of two strips or parallel chains of medium-caliber ammunition 2 from the feeders to the barrel.
  • the (re) loading and / or unloading of the medium-caliber ammunition strips or chains in the feeders is done in a spiral path 29, each band or chain being hooked at one end to the feeder axis 25 by a device any known to those skilled in the art, such as a clip secured to the axis.
  • the medium-caliber ammunition rack may only one feeder, which defines the routing of a single band or ammunition chain between this single feeder and the barrel.
  • the device with two trays advantageously makes it possible to increase the capacity of (re) loading and / or unloading or to simultaneously use two different types of ammunition of different caliber but always on the same caliber because the barrel does not accept only one (eg 30 or 40mm).
  • the turntables can be made in the form of plates having orifices, such as slatted type trays, on the one hand to lighten the device and on the other hand to allow the evacuation of dust, dirt or any other object or debris that could trigger the accidental firing of ammunition, especially when the vehicle is in motion.
  • the lateral cylindrical walls of the feeders may have, in addition to a protective function, also a guiding function for medium-caliber ammunition arranged in the spirally wound strip or chain around the axis of the plate.
  • the trays may be mounted on annular base bases, for example but not necessarily, bolted to the floor of the turret and fixed thereto using hooks, or any other system fixing, to prevent inadvertent vertical movement of the plate, especially when the vehicle is moving.
  • the trays will be rotatably mounted about their vertical axis by means of bearings to reduce friction.
  • the rotating plates may have a retractable central axis for stacking them, for example to facilitate the transport of the trays in the turret or to allow to lower a retractable optics during transport.
  • Braking means may also be provided at the trays to control the inertia of medium caliber ammunition and prevent it from causing a rotation of the plate when the barrel stops working.
  • An essential element of the invention lies in the fact that this device allows and promotes a guided and towed transport medium caliber ammunition without other motorized contribution than that proposed by the gun engine in two strips or parallel chains 2 from the feeders ( 21, 22) to the barrel, parallel bands or chains placed on the commander's side. All arrangements made according to the invention for minimizing the friction of medium-caliber ammunition during their transport to the barrel contribute to make superfluous any means of traction additional traction provided by the engine of the gun.
  • both the circular magazines, the conveyors and the ratchet boxes are provided externally with protective plates, either laterally or at their upper part (roof).
  • the (re) loading and / or unloading of the medium-caliber ammunition can advantageously be effected by hatches provided in the feeder (s) and the conveyors, either from the inside from the outside of the turret, following the rotation or pivoting of certain opening walls provided at the (or) feeder (s), respectively of the conveyors, laterally and / or at the level of the roof thereof .
  • the first conveyor 31 has a possibility of opening at plate level, lateral 33 and upper 34.
  • the side plate 33 is pivotally mounted around the fixed part of the rack, thanks to a horizontal hinge and the conveyor roof plate 34 is pivotally mounted around the side plate 33 through another horizontal hinge.
  • the second conveyor 32 opens only from its upper part via a plate 35 pivotally mounted around a horizontal hinge.
  • traps or openings in feeders and conveyors are only illustrative, it being understood that other possible configurations fall within the scope of the invention.
  • the structures consisting of removable movable plates with hinges make it easy to open an opening for access to medium-caliber ammunition and for their (re) loading and / or unloading in the conveyors through the use of "clips" and locks 51, which allow rapid (un) locking ( Figures 5 and 6 ).
  • the various openings also allow easier access in case of maintenance to be performed and for any other parts replacement.
  • ratchet boxes 41, 42 respectively, they allow a guided and guided transport medium caliber ammunition along their journey, with change of direction, only through the rotation of an axis 43.
  • This axis 43 is provided with at least two hexagonal wheels 44 each side has a housing for accommodating a medium caliber ammunition. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this axis 43 is externally terminated so that it can be manually rotated, for example by means of a standard 14 mm socket wrench ( Figures 7 and 8 ).
  • a second advantage related to this axis 43 lies in the fact that it appears a reduction in friction between the bend described by the medium caliber ammunition and said ammunition through the addition of a ball bearing whose friction torque is close to zero.
