Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'éjection et d'évacuation automatique de maillons de munitions, provenant de préférence, mais pas exclusivement, de canons de moyen calibre embarqués sur des tourelles de char. Les munitions de moyen calibre ont typiquement un diamètre compris entre 15 et 50mm.The present invention relates to a device for the ejection and automatic evacuation of ammunition links, preferably, but not exclusively, from medium-caliber guns on board tank turrets. Medium caliber ammunition typically has a diameter of between 15 and 50mm.
La présente invention se rapporte également à un véhicule blindé comprenant le dispositif d'évacuation automatique des maillons.The present invention also relates to an armored vehicle comprising the automatic link evacuation device.
A l'heure actuelle, les systèmes d'évacuation de maillons de munitions d'armes embarquées sur tourelle de char sont des systèmes assez volumineux ou encombrants, caractérisés par une éjection qui fonctionne uniquement par gravité. Les maillons sont soit évacués à l'extérieur de la coque de la tourelle soit collectés par exemple à l'aide d'un sac ou d'une rampe.At the present time, the systems for evacuating arms ammunition links on board a tank turret are fairly large or bulky systems, characterized by an ejection which operates solely by gravity. The links are either evacuated outside the hull of the turret or collected for example using a bag or a ramp.

Cependant, ces systèmes d'évacuation des maillons et munitions ont le désavantage de toujours reposer sur le principe de la gravité, ce qui engendre un risque important de coincer les maillons dans les goulottes ou entre la tourelle et le véhicule, et d'engorger le système d'évacuation. Par ailleurs, la trajectoire d'évacuation n'est pas bien maîtrisée.However, these systems for evacuating links and ammunition have the disadvantage of always being based on the principle of gravity, which creates a significant risk of the links getting stuck in the chutes or between the turret and the vehicle, and of clogging the evacuation system. Moreover, the evacuation path is not well controlled.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art.
En particulier, la présente invention vise à réaliser un dispositif d'évacuation automatique de maillons de munitions, principalement provenant d'armes de moyen calibre, suite au tir, le dispositif pouvant être embarqué sur des tourelles de char.In particular, the present invention aims to provide a device for automatic evacuation of ammunition links, mainly originating from medium caliber weapons, following firing, the device being able to be mounted on tank turrets.
Le résultat recherché est que les maillons de munitions soient évacués ou expulsés le plus loin possible à l'extérieur de la tourelle, c'est-à-dire à au moins à 50 cm de la tourelle, et selon une trajectoire maîtrisée afin de ne pas encombrer le passage pour les maillons suivants et ainsi éviter tout bourrage ou tout enrayage de l'arme.The desired result is that the ammunition links are evacuated or expelled as far as possible outside the turret, that is to say at least 50 cm from the turret, and according to a controlled trajectory so as not to not obstruct the passage for the following links and thus avoid any jamming or any jamming of the weapon.
En outre, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif simple et fiable, complètement automatisé et n'impliquant pas d'intervention d'un opérateur durant son fonctionnement. Ce dispositif d'évacuation de maillons amélioré devrait permettre d'obtenir une cadence d'évacuation de plus de trois maillons par seconde, de manière continue, étant donné une vitesse moyenne de tir de l'arme de 200 coups par minute.In addition, the present invention aims to provide a simple and reliable device, fully automated and not involving the intervention of an operator during its operation. This improved link evacuation device should make it possible to obtain an evacuation rate of more than three links per second, continuously, given an average rate of fire of the weapon of 200 rounds per minute.
Le dispositif de la présente invention vise encore à permettre une éjection des maillons quelle que soit l'inclinaison dans laquelle se trouve la tourelle par rapport à l'horizontale, et quelle que soit l'orientation et la position des maillons à l'entrée du système.The device of the present invention also aims to allow ejection of the links regardless of the inclination in which the turret is located relative to the horizontal, and regardless of the orientation and position of the links at the entrance of the system.
L'invention a enfin pour but de proposer un véhicule blindé comprenant ce dispositif amélioré d'éjection des maillons de manière continue.Finally, the object of the invention is to provide an armored vehicle comprising this improved device for continuously ejecting the links.

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'évacuation automatique 1 de maillons 6 de munitions, tel qu'illustré sur les
Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, le dispositif d'évacuation 1 comprend un boîtier normalement fermé 9 à l'exception d'une première ouverture 2 disposée en position haute et de taille suffisamment grande que pour permettre l'entrée en vrac de maillons 6 provenant de l'arme après le tir, et d'une seconde ouverture 3, latérale ou déportée par rapport à la verticale de l'ouverture 2, destinée à l'éjection des maillons 6 à l'extérieur du dispositif 1. En utilisation, le dispositif 1 doit être placé dans le véhicule blindé de manière adéquate, c'est-à-dire de manière à ce que l'entrée 2 soit située exactement sous l'arme pour récolter les maillons 6 après un tir, et à ce que l'ouverture de sortie 3 corresponde à une ouverture dans le véhicule blindé permettant d'éjecter les maillons 6 à l'extérieur de celui-ci avec une certaine vitesse.According to one embodiment of the invention, the
Le dispositif d'évacuation de maillons comprend successivement, en partant de la première ouverture 2 vers la seconde ouverture 3, une rampe 10 d'inclinaison comprise entre 15 et 50° par rapport à la verticale, valant de préférence environ 30°, ladite rampe étant également munie d'au moins deux rouleaux canaliseurs 7, situés en vis-à-vis et aptes à tourner en sens inverse. L'intervalle de séparation entre les deux rouleaux canaliseurs 7 est choisi pour laisser passer les maillons et les orienter.The link evacuation device comprises successively, starting from the
En utilisation, ces rouleaux canaliseurs 7 permettent d'orienter les maillons 6 qui arrivent via l'ouverture d'entrée 2 dans une position adéquate pour éviter qu'ils ne se retrouvent bloqués ou qu'ils ne s'amassent dans le dispositif 1, et peuvent par exemple se présenter sous forme de deux brosses tournantes à axes parallèles. Au bas de la rampe 10, les maillons 6 se retrouvent, en utilisation, sur un chemin horizontal 11 délimité en hauteur par un rouleau propulseur supérieur 4 et un rouleau propulseur inférieur 5, les deux rouleaux 4 et 5 guidant et faisant avancer les maillons 6 jusqu'à l'ouverture de sortie 3. Les rouleaux propulseurs 4, 5 peuvent être avantageusement du type tapis roulant ou bande transporteuse faisant avancer les maillons 6 grâce à leurs bandes en défilement respectives. Le dispositif 1 comporte en outre un moteur électrique 8 qui permet de mettre en mouvement de manière synchronisée tant les rouleaux canaliseurs 7 que les rouleaux propulseurs 4, 5, via un système d'entraînement adéquat, par exemple sous formes d'engrenages ou de courroies (non représenté sur les figures).In use, these
Les rouleaux propulseurs 4 et 5 définissent la vitesse d'éjection des maillons 6 en dehors du dispositif, et donc de la tourelle/du véhicule blindé. La vitesse des rouleaux propulseurs dépendra de la cadence de l'arme utilisée, pouvant aller jusqu'à 300 coups par minute, et pourra être adaptée en fonction de l'arme. Les rouleaux et brosses utilisés sont du matériel standard connu en soi de l'homme de métier et facilement remplaçable.The
Un premier avantage du dispositif d'évacuation de maillons selon l'invention est que l'efficacité de l'éjection des maillons sera bonne dans tous les cas et ne dépendra pas de l'inclinaison de la tourelle ou du véhicule blindé, sachant que la trajectoire des maillons est aléatoire. Ce dispositif permet donc de ne pas se retrouver dans la problématique d'amassement de maillons à la sortie d'un dispositif basé sur la gravité uniquement, ou entre la tourelle et le véhicule, en éjectant les maillons le plus loin possible, et certainement à au moins 50 cm de la tourelle.A first advantage of the link evacuation device according to the invention is that the efficiency of the ejection of the links will be good in all cases and will not depend on the inclination of the turret or of the armored vehicle, knowing that the trajectory of the links is random. This device therefore makes it possible to avoid the problem of accumulating links at the exit of a device based on gravity only, or between the turret and the vehicle, by ejecting the links as far as possible, and certainly at at least 50 cm from the turret.
Le dispositif a l'avantage de pouvoir être placé facilement sous tout type d'arme, et d'être adaptable à celle-ci et au type de véhicule embarquant le système. De manière préférée, le dispositif est compris dans une tourelle de char, sous l'arme principale, permettant de cette manière l'évacuation rapide et efficace des maillons hors de la tourelle.The device has the advantage of being able to be easily placed under any type of weapon, and of being adaptable to it and to the type of vehicle carrying the system. Preferably, the device is included in a tank turret, under the main weapon, thereby allowing the rapid and efficient evacuation of the links from the turret.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet aussi de réduire la taille de l'ouverture vers l'extérieur de la coque ou carapace du véhicule blindé.The device of the invention also makes it possible to reduce the size of the opening towards the outside of the shell or shell of the armored vehicle.
Un autre avantage de la présente invention est d'offrir un dispositif pouvant être fermé, ce qui permet ainsi d'isoler la tourelle de l'environnement extérieur, par exemple en cas de conditions NBC (nucléaire, bactériologique, chimique).Another advantage of the present invention is to provide a device which can be closed, which thus makes it possible to isolate the turret from the external environment, for example in the event of NBC (nuclear, bacteriological, chemical) conditions.
Encore un autre avantage est que le dispositif selon l'invention se présente sous forme d'un boîtier autonome qui peut se placer dans des tourelles déjà en service, éventuellement de différents types ou modèles.Yet another advantage is that the device according to the invention is in the form of a self-contained box which can be placed in turrets already in service, possibly of different types or models.
