Description

SUPPORT D'INTERFACE POUR UN SYSTEME DE VISÉE  INTERFACE SUPPORT FOR A VISUAL SYSTEM
Objet de l'invention Object of the invention
[0001] Le domaine technologique de l'invention concerne l'intégration d'un support d'interface sur un système canon de différents calibres telle que : The technological field of the invention relates to the integration of an interface support on a canon system of different calibres such as:
- ledit support d'interface est dédié à recevoir un système de visée non- spécifique, said interface support is dedicated to receiving a non-specific aiming system,
- ledit système canon couvre la gamme des moyens et gros calibres, autrement dit entre 20 mm et 120 mm,  said barrel system covers the range of means and large calibres, in other words between 20 mm and 120 mm,
- ledit système canon est associé à une tourelle montée sur un véhicule blindé quelconque.  - The said gun system is associated with a turret mounted on any armored vehicle.
[0002] L'invention repose essentiellement sur une approche mécanique. The invention is essentially based on a mechanical approach.
Arrière-plan technologique Technological background
[0003] De manière générale, l'insertion d'un (ou d'une combinaison de) système(s) de visée sur une tourelle doit prendre en considération toute une série de paramètres aussi bien fonctionnels que mécaniques. In general, the insertion of a (or a combination of) sighting system (s) on a turret must take into consideration a series of parameters as well functional as mechanical.
[0004] Parmi ceux-ci, on peut relever :  [0004] Among these, it can be noted:
- l'encombrement extérieur de la tourelle lié à l'intégration des autres modules tels que lance-missile(s), lance-grenade(s), système de communication (antenne(s), radio(s),...), station météorologique, etc., - le système d'attache, - the external dimensions of the turret related to the integration of other modules such as missile launcher (s), grenade launcher (s), communication system (antenna (s), radio (s), ...) , weather station, etc., - the fastening system,
- la sensibilité,  - the sensibility,
- la précision,  - the precision,
- les vibrations,  - vibrations,
- les chocs,  - the shocks,
- etc.  - etc.
[0005] En fonction de ces critères spécifiques, la possibilité d'ajouter un système de visée supplémentaire vis-à-vis de ceux déjà présents sur la tourelle est relativement limitée. Cela est lié au fait que la position de ce dernier ne doit en aucun cas venir perturber fonctionnellement et/ou mécaniquement les modules greffés préalablement. [0005] Depending on these specific criteria, the possibility of adding an additional aiming system vis-à-vis those already present on the turret is relatively limited. This is linked to the fact that the position of the latter must in no way come to functionally and / or mechanically disturb the previously grafted modules.
[0006] C'est pourquoi il est indispensable de valoriser un endroit non encore exploité pour satisfaire les nouvelles contraintes contractuelles mais également optimiser économiquement les tourelles développées antérieurement. [0007] Actuellement, les principales solutions proposées et/ou envisagées reposent sur le fait que le système optique est placé essentiellement sur le masque de la tourelle au niveau duquel i) le mode de fixation n'est pas aussi performant et ii) les chocs et vibrations perçus sont caractérisés par une intensité accrue. A cela s'ajoute le fait que l'encombrement au niveau du masque suite à la présence d'autres modules tels que mitrailleuse coaxiale, système d'éjection de munitions, etc. est tel qu'il n'est pas toujours aisé d'ajouter un élément supplémentaire. This is why it is essential to develop a place not yet exploited to meet the new contractual constraints but also economically optimize the turrets previously developed. Currently, the main solutions proposed and / or envisaged are based on the fact that the optical system is placed essentially on the turret mask at which i) the mode of attachment is not as efficient and ii) the shocks and perceived vibrations are characterized by increased intensity. Added to this is the fact that the congestion at the mask level following the presence of other modules such as coaxial machine gun, ammunition ejection system, etc. is such that it is not always easy to add an additional element.

[0008] Les documents suivants ont été identifiés dans l'état de la technique : [0008] The following documents have been identified in the state of the art:
[0009] Le document EP1715283 concerne principalement le montage d'armes de petit ou moyen calibre sur une tourelle associée au domaine naval, ces armes étant équipées d'un viseur optronique placé au niveau de l'interface armes/tourelle. [0010] Le document FR2459447 se rapporte à une tourelle blindée comportant une arme principale munie d'un système propre de vision ayant un champ inférieur à 360° et de pointage de l'arme, ledit système propre incorporant un télémètre laser et des moyens de vision nocturne à intensification de lumière. The EP1715283 document mainly relates to the assembly of small or medium caliber weapons on a turret associated with the naval field, these weapons being equipped with an optronic viewfinder placed at the arms / turret interface. Document FR2459447 relates to an armored turret comprising a main weapon provided with a clean vision system having a field less than 360 ° and weapon pointing, said clean system incorporating a laser range finder and intensifying night vision means.

Document US4934085 discloses an adaptation support for mounting a generally cylindrical night optics on a missile launcher without structural modification of the two associated devices.
[0013] Le document EP0082257 divulgue un support permettant d'attacher rapidement un accessoire, en particulier un dispositif optique, sur le canon d'une arme à feu, ce support étant placé parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal dudit canon. Le support est fixé sur un anneau, entourant le tube et qui peut être serré via des vis de serrage. Ces vis de serrage sont par exemple des vis à six pans creux.  Document EP0082257 discloses a support for quickly attaching an accessory, in particular an optical device, to the barrel of a firearm, this support being placed parallel to the longitudinal axis of said barrel. The bracket is attached to a ring, surrounding the tube and can be tightened by means of clamping screws. These clamping screws are for example hexagon socket screws.
[0014] Le document US7597041 se rapporte à un canon pivotant monté sur une structure/base mobile. Le canon est caractérisé par le fait qu'il contient un gyroscope qui sera un élément essentiel pour l'enregistrement de données relatives à la stabilisation du canon.  US7597041 relates to a pivoting gun mounted on a structure / mobile base. The gun is characterized by the fact that it contains a gyroscope which will be an essential element for the recording of data relative to the stabilization of the gun.
[0015] Le document RU5733 concerne une tourelle présentant différents systèmes optiques dont l'un est placé au niveau du masque et dans le même alignement que celui défini par l'axe du canon. The RU5733 document relates to a turret having different optical systems, one of which is placed at the mask and in the same alignment as that defined by the axis of the barrel.
[0016] Le document EP425386 divulgue une conduite de tir adaptable sur une lunette de masque d'une tourelle comportant notamment un miroir stabilisé, un laser de télémétrie et un boîtier électronique de commande. La conduite de tir est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comprend un boîtier soudé sur le masque de la tourelle. [0017] D'autres documents, tels que CN2040641 16, CN201440057, présentent un certain intérêt mais moins significatif que ceux présentés ci-avant. The document EP425386 discloses a firing line adaptable to a mask bezel of a turret comprising in particular a stabilized mirror, a telemetry laser and an electronic control unit. The fire control is characterized by the fact that it comprises a housing welded to the turret mask. Other documents, such as CN2040641 16, CN201440057, have some interest but less significant than those presented above.
[0018] Cette approche peut être assimilée à celle développée au niveau des armes à feu portables au niveau desquelles le dispositif analysé équivaut à la lunette de visée mais dont les caractéristiques structurelles ne répondent pas aux mêmes exigences. Buts de l'invention This approach can be likened to that developed at the level of portable firearms at which the device analyzed is equivalent to the scope of view but whose structural characteristics do not meet the same requirements. Goals of the invention
[0019] La présente invention a pour but général la mise en place d'une architecture s'inspirant des armes à feu portables, dans lesquelles une lunette de visée est intégrée directement sur le canon de l'arme. [0020] Un but complémentaire de l'invention est de développer une structure rigide et interchangeable, appelée support d'interface, caractérisée en ce qu'elle : The present invention has the general purpose of setting up an architecture inspired by portable firearms, in which a scope is integrated directly on the barrel of the weapon. An additional object of the invention is to develop a rigid and interchangeable structure, called an interface support, characterized in that it:
- présente un mode de fixation par vis (approche mécanique), - presents a method of fixing by screw (mechanical approach),
- contient un module de visée non-spécifique. [0021] L'invention vise également à ne pas limiter la taille du support d'interface par des dimensions précises mais la largeur, la longueur et la hauteur de celui-ci doivent être caractérisées respectivement par des valeurs minimales et maximales, gage d'une certaine flexibilité, qui doit malgré tout rester cohérente avec les contraintes mécaniques et fonctionnelles. De par ces caractéristiques géométriques, la taille du système de visée présente de manière proportionnelle une flexibilité similaire, autrement dit elle est non-spécifique et non-standard pour un seul support d'interface.  - contains a non-specific aiming module. The invention also aims not to limit the size of the interface support by precise dimensions but the width, length and height thereof must be characterized respectively by minimum and maximum values, pledge of a certain flexibility, which must nevertheless remain consistent with the mechanical and functional constraints. Because of these geometric characteristics, the size of the sighting system proportionally presents a similar flexibility, that is it is non-specific and non-standard for a single interface support.
[0022] Enfin un but supplémentaire de l'invention est de pouvoir utiliser une tourelle existante sans lui apporter de modification essentielle aux niveaux structurels et fonctionnels tout en garantissant un investissement financier relativement insignifiant ou modéré au regard des bénéfices techniques engendrés par la mise en place du dispositif selon l'invention.  [0022] Finally, a further object of the invention is to be able to use an existing turret without making any essential modification to the structural and functional levels while guaranteeing a relatively insignificant or moderate financial investment with regard to the technical benefits generated by the installation. of the device according to the invention.
Principaux éléments caractéristiques de l'invention [0023] Un mode d'exécution de l'invention divulgue une tourelle destinée à être montée sur un véhicule blindé, comprenant un système canon ayant un fourreau de canon et comprenant un système d'interface, appelé également support d'interface, rigide et interchangeable pour attacher à la tourelle un équipement fonctionnel comportant au moins un système de visée, le système d'interface étant fixé sur un tube de protection relié au fourreau du système canon à la jonction avec le masque de la tourelle, de sorte que le système d'interface est placé dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du système canon. [0024] Selon l'invention, le système d'interface comprend, dans l'ordre prédéfini suivant : Main characteristic elements of the invention An embodiment of the invention discloses a turret intended to be mounted on an armored vehicle, comprising a barrel system having a barrel and comprising an interface system, also called interface support, rigid and interchangeable to attach to the turret functional equipment comprising at least one sighting system, the interface system being fixed on a protective tube connected to the sheath of the barrel system at the junction with the mask of the turret, so that the interface system is placed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the barrel system. According to the invention, the interface system comprises, in the following predefined order:
- une enveloppe essentiellement semi-circulaire ou semi-cylindrique servant de support entourant ledit tube de protection, an essentially semicircular or semi-cylindrical envelope serving as a support surrounding said protective tube,
- une embase attachée à ladite enveloppe,  a base attached to said envelope,
- un plateau surmontant ladite embase et  a tray surmounting said base and
- un support fixé perpendiculairement audit plateau.  a support fixed perpendicularly to said plate.
[0025] Le voisinage de la jonction entre le tube de protection relié au fourreau du système canon avec le masque de la tourelle, ces éléments étant bien connus de l'homme de métier, est l'endroit où les chocs et vibrations ressentis par le système canon s'avèrent être de la plus faible intensité lors d'un mouvement quelconque du système canon, ce mouvement étant un déplacement qui est soit vertical, soit horizontal, soit les deux simultanément. L'ensemble des déplacements s'opèrent dans quatre cas de figure spécifiques : i) véhicule et tourelle statiques, ii) véhicule à l'arrêt et tourelle en rotation, iii) véhicule en mouvement et tourelle fixe ainsi que iv) véhicule et tourelle mobiles. The vicinity of the junction between the protective tube connected to the barrel of the barrel system with the mask of the turret, these elements being well known to the skilled person, is where the shocks and vibrations felt by the canon system prove to be of the weakest intensity during any movement of the canon system, this movement being a displacement which is either vertical or horizontal, or both simultaneously. All movements occur in four specific cases: (i) static vehicle and turret, (ii) stationary vehicle and rotating turret, (iii) moving vehicle and fixed turret, and (iv) mobile vehicle and turret. .
[0026] De par la position du support d'interface, et in fine du système optique, sur le tube de protection du système canon, il en résulte que le système de visée associé est également situé dans le plan vertical (ou perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du système canon). Because of the position of the interface support, and ultimately the optical system, on the protection tube of the gun system, it follows that the associated sighting system is also located in the vertical plane (or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the canon system).
[0027] Avantageusement, le système de visée aura son axe optique parallèle ou légèrement incliné par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du système canon afin que la cible reste dans le champ de vison du système de visée, ce qui permet de ne plus devoir disposer d'un lien mécanique et/ou électronique entre le système canon et le système de visée. Advantageously, the sighting system will have its optical axis parallel or slightly inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the gun system so that the target remains in the field of view of the sighting system, which makes it possible to no longer have to dispose of a mechanical and / or electronic link between the gun system and the aiming system.
[0028] En ce qui concerne l'interfaçage entre le support d'interface et le système de visée, il s'effectue avantageusement depuis l'arrière dudit système de visée pour optimiser la solidarisation entre les deux dispositifs. As regards the interfacing between the interface support and the sighting system, it is advantageously from the rear of said sighting system to optimize the bonding between the two devices.
[0029] De préférence encore, l'ensemble des éléments constitués par le tube de protection, l'enveloppe essentiellement semi-circulaire ou semi-cylindrique, l'embase, le plateau et le support sont fixés l'un à l'autre selon l'ordre prédéfini ci- dessus, de préférence encore par un système de vis et/ou boulons (ou vis/écrous). Le système de visée est aussi fixé avantageusement au support du système d'interface par un système de vis et/ou boulons. More preferably, all the elements constituted by the protective tube, the substantially semicircular or semi-cylindrical casing, the base, the plate and the support are fixed to one another according to the predefined order above, more preferably by a system of screws and / or bolts (or screws / nuts). The The aiming system is also advantageously attached to the support of the interface system by a system of screws and / or bolts.
[0030] Le projet développé actuellement permet d'atteindre des niveaux opérationnels, fonctionnels, ergonomiques, économiques, etc. significatifs suite au positionnement défini ci-dessus. The project currently being developed makes it possible to reach operational, functional, ergonomic and economical levels, etc. significant following the positioning defined above.
[0031] Au niveau des aspects mécaniques, le montage est d'approche relativement aisée tout en permettant une configuration de fixation rigide pour pouvoir encaisser comme il se doit l'ensemble des chocs et vibrations lors des différents mouvements subis par le système canon comme décrits préalablement. [0032] De plus, pour favoriser un tel montage, il est avantageux que la tourelle, et plus particulièrement l'environnement au niveau de l'interface autour du système canon, ne subisse que de légères modifications structurelles. Ces dernières peuvent apparaître essentiellement au niveau de l'épaississement du tube de protection du système canon. C'est pourquoi, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être monté avantageusement sur tous les tubes de protection reliés au fourreau des systèmes canon de moyen et gros calibres. In terms of mechanical aspects, the assembly is relatively easy approach while allowing a rigid mounting configuration to be able to cash as it should all the shocks and vibrations during the various movements undergone by the gun system as described previously. In addition, to promote such an assembly, it is advantageous that the turret, and more particularly the environment at the interface around the barrel system, undergoes only slight structural changes. These can appear mainly in the thickening of the barrel protection tube. Therefore, the device according to the invention can be advantageously mounted on all the protective tubes connected to the sheath of medium and large caliber barrel systems.
Brève description des Figures Brief description of the Figures
[0033] Des exemples de réalisation suivant l'invention sont décrits par la suite avec plus de détails à l'aide des Figures annexées. Exemplary embodiments according to the invention are described later in more detail with the aid of the accompanying Figures.
[0034] La Figure 1 montre une vue en perspective d'un exemple de support d'interface selon la présente invention.  Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an exemplary interface support according to the present invention.
[0035] La Figure 2 montre une vue en élévation d'un exemple de support d'interface selon la présente invention. Figure 2 shows an elevational view of an exemplary interface support according to the present invention.
Description de formes d'exécution préférées de l'invention Description of preferred embodiments of the invention
[0036] Comme le montrent les Figures 1 et 2, l'élément de base de l'invention est le support d'interface 1. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the basic element of the invention is the interface support 1.
[0037] D'un point de vue structurel d'abord, il s'agit d'un élément rigide et interchangeable disposé au niveau d'une tourelle 2, montée sur un véhicule blindé quelconque, et plus particulièrement sur le tube de protection 3 relié au fourreau du système canon 4 à la jonction avec le masque 5 de ladite tourelle 2. From a structural point of view first, it is a rigid and interchangeable element disposed at a turret 2, mounted on an armored vehicle any, and more particularly on the protective tube 3 connected to the sheath of the barrel system 4 at the junction with the mask 5 of said turret 2.
[0038] Ce support d'interface 1 est constitué d'une enveloppe essentiellement semi-circulaire ou semi-cylindrique 6 définie comme étant un support entourant le tube de protection 3 du système canon 4. Cette enveloppe essentiellement semi-circulaire ou semi-cylindrique 6 est surmontée d'une embase 7, au-dessus de laquelle apparaît un plateau 8. This interface support 1 consists of a substantially semi-circular or semi-cylindrical envelope 6 defined as being a support surrounding the protective tube 3 of the barrel system 4. This substantially semi-circular or semi-cylindrical envelope 6 is surmounted by a base 7, above which a plate 8 appears.
[0039] Perpendiculairement au plateau 8 se trouve un support 9 au niveau duquel va venir s'attacher le système de visée 10. Le système de visée 10 vient se fixer à un endroit quelconque dudit support 9, autrement dit la hauteur à laquelle s'attachent les deux dispositifs mentionnés ci-avant n'a aucun impact sur l'aspect structurel du support d'interface 1. Perpendicularly to the plate 8 is a support 9 at which will come to attach the sighting system 10. The sighting system 10 is fixed at any location of said support 9, ie the height at which s' attach the two devices mentioned above has no impact on the structural aspect of the interface support 1.
[0040] En ce qui concerne l'ensemble des éléments décrits ci-dessus, à savoir le tube de protection 3, l'enveloppe semi-circulaire ou semi-cylindrique 6, l'embase 7, le plateau 8, le support 9 et le système de visée 10, ceux-ci sont fixés respectivement l'un à l'autre par exemple grâce à un système de vis (ou boulons) selon le montage défini préalablement. With regard to all the elements described above, namely the protection tube 3, the semi-circular or semi-cylindrical envelope 6, the base 7, the plate 8, the support 9 and the aiming system 10, these are respectively fixed to each other for example by a system of screws (or bolts) according to the previously defined assembly.
[0041] Les dimensions des différents éléments constitutifs du support d'interface 1 peuvent varier en fonction de la nature du système de visée 10 inséré mais doivent être comprises respectivement dans une certaine gamme définie par des valeurs minimales et maximales pour répondre favorablement aux aspects structurels et fonctionnels du support d'interface 1. Mécaniquement, le mode d'accroché ne doit en aucun cas être modifié suite à une quelconque variation des dimensions dudit support d'interface 1. [0042] L'objectif structurel recherché repose sur le fait que l'emplacement dudit support d'interface 1 est caractérisé par une zone rigide adéquate pour un mode de fixation spécifique (voir ci-dessus), zone qui est influencée par l'encombrement défini par les modules environnants (autres systèmes de visée, mitrailleuse coaxiale, etc.). [0043] D'un point de fonctionnel à présent, le support d'interface 1 décrit ci-avant présente la caractéristique d'être inséré à un endroit au niveau duquel les chocs et vibrations ressentis par ledit support d'interface 1 sont d'une intensité moindre par rapport à celle subie dans d'autres environnements de la tourelle 2 ou du système canon 4. The dimensions of the various elements of the interface support 1 may vary depending on the nature of the sighting system 10 inserted but must be respectively within a certain range defined by minimum and maximum values to respond favorably to the structural aspects and functional of the interface support 1. Mechanically, the hook mode must in no way be modified following any variation in the dimensions of said interface support 1. [0042] The structural objective sought is based on the fact that the location of said interface support 1 is characterized by a rigid zone suitable for a specific mode of attachment (see above), which zone is influenced by the congestion defined by the surrounding modules (other aiming systems, coaxial machine gun , etc.). From a functional point at present, the interface support 1 described above has the characteristic of being inserted at a location where the shocks and vibrations felt by said interface support 1 are of less intensity compared to that experienced in other turret 2 or gun 4 environments.
[0044] Le mode de fixation selon la présente invention : The method of attachment according to the present invention:
- est mécaniquement aisé et peu coûteux, - is mechanically easy and inexpensive,
- n'engendre que de légères modifications structurelles localisées essentiellement au niveau de l'épaississement du tube de protection 3 du système canon 4.  produces only slight localized structural modifications, essentially at the level of the thickening of the protection tube 3 of the barrel system 4.
[0045] Le support d'interface 1 est fixé sur une tourelle montée sur un véhicule blindé quelconque sur laquelle est associé un système canon 4 de différents calibres couvrant la gamme des moyens et gros calibres, autrement dit entre 20 mm et 120 mm.  The interface support 1 is fixed on a turret mounted on any armored vehicle on which is associated a gun system 4 of different calibers covering the range of means and large sizes, in other words between 20 mm and 120 mm.
[0046] Cette approche de fixation, confirmée par simulation numérique, est le résultat de plusieurs investigations menées à divers endroits de la tourelle 2 ou du système canon 4. Parmi ceux-ci, on peut mentionner les essais suivants effectués en vue du positionnement du support d'interface 1 : This fixation approach, confirmed by numerical simulation, is the result of several investigations carried out at various places in the turret 2 or the gun system 4. Among these, mention may be made of the following tests carried out for the positioning of the interface support 1:
- sur le masque 5 avec le support d'interface 1 localisé dans le plan horizontal du système canon 4, on the mask 5 with the interface support 1 located in the horizontal plane of the barrel system 4,
- sur le système canon 4 lui-même avec le support d'interface 1 placé dans le plan horizontal du système canon 4. [0047] Pour les tests des différents emplacements possibles, on a tenu compte d'un ensemble de mouvements du système canon 4, caractérisés respectivement par un déplacement vertical, horizontal ou les deux simultanément. Les quatre possibilités liées à ces mouvements sont les suivantes :  on the canon system 4 itself with the interface support 1 placed in the horizontal plane of the gun system 4. [0047] For the tests of the different possible locations, a set of movements of the barrel system was taken into account. 4, respectively characterized by a vertical displacement, horizontal or both simultaneously. The four possibilities related to these movements are:
- véhicule et tourelle statiques, - static vehicle and turret,
- véhicule à l'arrêt et tourelle en rotation,  - stationary vehicle and rotating turret,
- véhicule en mouvement et tourelle fixe,  - moving vehicle and fixed turret,
- véhicule et tourelle mobiles.  - mobile vehicle and turret.
[0048] Au final, à hauteur du support d'interface 1 vient s'attacher un système de visée 10 non-spécifique, système de visée 10 considéré comme étant un dispositif principal et/ou secondaire par rapport aux autres systèmes de visée greffés sur la tourelle 2. La spécificité fonctionnelle sera définie in fine par les contraintes contractuelles. Liste des symboles de référence In the end, at the height of the interface support 1 is attached a non-specific aiming system 10, aiming system 10 considered to be a main device and / or secondary compared to other targeting systems grafted on The turret 2. Functional specificity will ultimately be defined by the contractual constraints. List of reference symbols
