Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the rapid and preferably uniform ejection of a large number of weapons, in particular mines, from a large-diameter weapon barrel.
- weapon tubes are used to pick up and eject objects. Under a gun barrel, a tube is understood in a first approximate round cross-section.
- Typical weapon tubes are, for example, torpedo tubes or ejectors for decoys or sonar devices.
- Objects include according to the invention weapons such as torpedoes, missiles, mines and decoys but also storage containers.
- Storage containers for the purposes of this invention are storage containers such as these used, for example, in submarines for application by torpedo tubes use. These storage containers are used to transport equipment for example for divers and deploy in case of application, especially under water from a submarine.
- a weapon is often ejected by compressed air.
- a weapon for example a torpedo
- a high acceleration is possible, which is needed to accelerate a comparatively heavy torpedo on the short distance of the gun barrel to its ejection speed.
- This method is relatively loud.
- the ejected torpedo already reveals the position of the launch by the comparatively high speed of the screw.
- weapon tubes that have no system for actively ejecting a weapon.
- the weapon runs out of such weapons tubes, that is, the weapon leaves the barrel of its own accord and with its own strength.
- a torpedo can run out of a gun barrel.
- no mines can be deployed from a gun barrel, which is designed exclusively for self-running torpedoes, since mines typically have no own drive.
- From DE 10 2011 087 889 AI a submarine with a gun barrel and at least one armament magazine is known, wherein the weapon magazine is designed for placement in the barrel.
- the ejection of the weapons from the weapon magazine is preferably carried out by means of water or compressed air.
- a gun ejection device with at least one first push chain is known, which is particularly suitable for mines.
- a rotatable torpedo magazine is known.
- a weapons ejection device with a push chain is known, which is insertable into a weapon barrel.
- a weapon transport system for a submarine for transporting a weapon is known.
- the object of the invention is to provide a module for a weapon barrel, which allows a rapid and preferably uniform ejection of a large number of weapons, in particular mines, from a gun barrel.

- the weapon barrel module can be arranged in the weapon barrel. In this case, weapons which fit from the diameter in the first bearing tube or in the second bearing tube, are ejected from the barrel. If the gun barrel module is removed from the weapon barrel, weapons with a significantly larger diameter, which corresponds to the diameter of the entire weapon barrel module, can be ejected from the weapon barrel. Alternatively, other larger items can be spent in the gun barrel or deployed from this, if the gun barrel module is not located in the gun barrel. For example, here are called vehicles for divers. By using the weapon barrel module it is thus possible to eject weapons of very different diameter from a gun barrel. Furthermore, by using the gun barrel module, multiple weapons can be ejected from only one barrel.
- a tube according to the invention is a hollow body, for example and in particular a cylindrical hollow body.

- the invention relates to a method for ejecting weapons from a weapon barrel with a weapon barrel module according to the invention, the method comprising the following steps:
- the method comprises the following steps:
- the lowermost location is positive for the discharge of mines which sink due to the construction of the mines.
- the mines tilt when ejected with the first ejected side down, which causes the end of the mine, which is still in the barrel or in the flow, tilts upwards. Since there is a lot of space in the gun barrel above the lowermost position, it can not lead to catching the mine. An additional guidance of the mine in the flow is therefore not necessary.
- step b) comprises the following step:
- step c) must be performed after step b) and before step d). If only one push chain is used, step c) must be performed after step b) and before step d). If a push chain is used per bearing tube, the push chain can be retracted at any later time. In particular, this can also be reduced only during the process of reloading when the gun barrel is to be reloaded from the outside.
- step e) is carried out at least partially simultaneously with step d).
- the method additionally comprises the following steps: g) rotating the bearing module for arranging the third bearing tube, which is preferably adjacent to the second bearing tube, at the specific position of the bearing module, h) ejecting the weapons located in the third bearing tube by extending the first push chain or a third push chain.
- the method additionally comprises the following steps:
- step h) is carried out at least partially simultaneously with step g).
- step k) is carried out at least partially simultaneously with step j).
- step n) is carried out at least partially simultaneously with step m).
- the method comprises the following steps: f) reversing the first or second thrust chain,
- step f) must be performed after step e) and before step g
- step i) must be performed after step h)
- step j) step I) must be performed after step k ) and before step m
- the step o) must be performed after step n).
- the respective push chain can be retracted at any later time. In particular, this can also be reduced only during the process of reloading when the gun barrel is to be reloaded from the outside.
- the method is carried out after refilling the bearing tubes with weapons in reverse order. As a result, a back rotation of the bearing module can be avoided.
- the storage module is rotated during the refilling of the storage tubes with weapons back to the starting position.
- the rotational position of the bearing module is detected before carrying out the method. By detecting the rotational position, a shearing of connections should be avoided.
- the method comprises the following steps for reloading weapons into the first bearing tube:
- the ejection module in each case has a push chain and one push chain drive for each bearing tube in order to be able to eject weapons by means of the push chain, then the push chain and optionally the push chain drive of the respectively reloadable bearing tube must be moved in such a way that a weapon can be inserted before step w) , After step y) then the push chain and optionally the push chain drive must then be returned to the ejection position.
- a reloading of the other bearing tubes is carried out according to the steps v) to y).
- the uppermost position is selected as a specific position.
- the uppermost position arrangement is favorable for the discharge of floating mines, equipment, buoys or lifesaving means which, due to their construction, ascend, that is, are designed specifically lighter than water.
- the objects tilt when ejected with the initially ejected side up, which causes the end of the mine, which is still in the barrel or in the flow, tilts down. Since there is a lot of space in the gun barrel below the topmost position, it can not lead to the mine catching. An additional guidance of the mine in the flow is therefore not necessary.
- the mouth flap pivots in this case preferably to the side or down.
