  • Selon la figure 1, une tourelle 1 de véhicule militaire (véhicule non visible) comporte une arme 2 alimentable par des munitions (munitions non visibles) contenues dans des alvéoles 4 de deux barillets 3. L’arme est une arme de gros calibre (supérieur à 75mm, par exemple de 120mm ou de 140mm). Un refouloir 5 permet le chargement dans l’arme 2 des munitions qui sont prélevées alternativement une par une dans un barillet 3 puis dans l’autre.According to FIG. 1, a turret 1 of a military vehicle (vehicle not visible) comprises a weapon 2 that can be supplied with ammunition (non-visible ammunition) contained in cells 4 of two barrels 3. The weapon is a large caliber weapon (superior at 75mm, for example 120mm or 140mm). A rammer 5 allows the loading in the weapon 2 ammunition which are taken alternately one by one in a barrel 3 and then in the other.
  • Selon la figure 1, coaxialement et en arrière de chaque barillet 3 se situe un dispositif de rechargement 6.According to FIG. 1, coaxially and behind each barrel 3 is a reloading device 6.
  • Chaque dispositif de rechargement 6 adopte une forme de portion de cylindre et il est constitué par l’assemblage de tubes supports 7 par des brides 24. Les tubes 7 sont liés de façon à être positionnés coaxialement aux alvéoles 4 d’un barillet 3. Chaque dispositif de chargement 6 est par ailleurs rendu solidaire de la tourelle par des moyens de liaison non représentés.Each reloading device 6 adopts a cylinder portion shape and is constituted by the assembly of support tubes 7 by flanges 24. The tubes 7 are connected so as to be positioned coaxially with the cells 4 of a cylinder 3. Each loading device 6 is also secured to the turret by connecting means not shown.
  • Ces moyens seront démontables pour permettre le remplacement d’un dispositif de chargement 6 vide par un autre dispositif 6 garni de munitions.These means will be removable to allow the replacement of an empty loading device 6 by another device 6 filled with ammunition.
  • Chaque tube support 7 est destiné à contenir une munition comme visible à la figure 2a. Les munitions 100 sont poussées (par des moyens qui seront décrit plus loin) simultanément depuis tous les tubes supports 7 d’un dispositif de rechargement 6 vers des alvéoles 4 vides d’un des barillet 3, alvéoles 4 vides qui sont placées en regard des tubes 7 par rotation du barillet 3 sur lui-même.Each support tube 7 is intended to contain an ammunition as visible in Figure 2a. The ammunition 100 is pushed (by means which will be described later) simultaneously from all the support tubes 7 of a reloading device 6 to empty cells 4 of one of the barrel 3, empty cells 4 which are placed opposite the tubes 7 by rotation of the barrel 3 on itself.
  • Selon le mode de réalisation qui est décrit ici, chaque dispositif de rechargement 6 comporte donc cinq tubes support 7, ce qui permet de recharger la moitié d’un barillet 3. Le barillet sera par la suite pivoté d’un demi-tour pour recharger son autre moitié.According to the embodiment described here, each reloading device 6 thus comprises five support tubes 7, which allows to recharge the half of a barrel 3. The barrel will subsequently be rotated by a half-turn to reload his other half.
  • Un deuxième barillet 3 qui est équipé d’un autre dispositif de rechargement 6, permet d’accroître la capacité de tir de l’arme.A second barrel 3 which is equipped with another reloading device 6, increases the shooting capacity of the weapon.
  • Selon les figures 2a et 2b, chaque dispositif de rechargement 6 en munitions comporte un chariot de poussée 8, translatable parallèlement à l’axe longitudinal X de la portion de cylindre formée par les tubes supports 7 contigus. La translation du chariot 8 est obtenue par exemple grâce à un moyen moteur 9 comportant un vérin à vis 9a. Le chariot 8 glisse sur un support 25 portant des glissières de guidage 25a.According to FIGS. 2a and 2b, each ammunition reloading device 6 comprises a thrust trolley 8, translatable parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the cylinder portion formed by the contiguous support tubes 7. The translation of the carriage 8 is obtained for example by means of a motor means 9 comprising a screw jack 9a. The carriage 8 slides on a support 25 carrying guide rails 25a.
  • Le support 25 portant le chariot 8 est rendu solidaire des brides 24 de façon à former le dispositif de rechargement 6.The support 25 carrying the carriage 8 is secured to the flanges 24 so as to form the reloading device 6.
  • Le chariot 8 porte des bras radiaux 10 qui s’étendent jusqu’aux tubes 7. Chaque bras 10 comporte à son extrémité la plus éloignée du chariot 8, une surface de poussée 11. Chaque surface de poussée 11 est destinée à se positionner à l’intérieur d’un tube 7. Elle coulissera à l’intérieur de ce tube et poussera, par la surface 11, la face arrière d’une munition 100.The carriage 8 carries radial arms 10 which extend to the tubes 7. Each arm 10 has at its end farthest from the carriage 8, a thrust surface 11. Each thrust surface 11 is intended to be positioned at the end of the trolley. inside a tube 7. It will slide inside this tube and push, by the surface 11, the rear face of a munition 100.
  • Comme visible à la figure 3a, pour que la poussée d’une munition contenue dans un tube 7 puisse se faire, chaque tube 7 comporte une fente 12 s’étendant d’une extrémité à l’autre du tube 7 selon une génératrice du tube 7. Cette fente 12 est destinée au passage d’un des bras 10.As can be seen in FIG. 3a, so that the thrust of a munition contained in a tube 7 can be made, each tube 7 comprises a slot 12 extending from one end to the other of the tube 7 along a generatrix of the tube 7. This slot 12 is intended for the passage of one of the arms 10.
  • Toujours sur la même figure 3a, on peut voir que le tube 7 comporte des ouvertures 13, réparties angulairement de façon régulière autour du tube 7 et également axialement le long du tube 7.Still in the same FIG. 3a, it can be seen that the tube 7 has openings 13 angularly distributed uniformly around the tube 7 and also axially along the tube 7.
  • Chaque ouverture 13 est destinée à recevoir un patin 14 qui est monté pivotant autour d’un axe 26 parallèle à l’axe du tube 7 (voir aussi les figures 4a et 4b). Les axes 26 sont logés dans des perçages 27 portés par le tube 7 (figure 3a).Each opening 13 is intended to receive a shoe 14 which is pivotally mounted about an axis 26 parallel to the axis of the tube 7 (see also Figures 4a and 4b). The pins 26 are housed in holes 27 carried by the tube 7 (Figure 3a).
  • Si les patins 14 sont retirés sur la figure 3a, ils sont visibles sur la figure 3b. Chaque patin peut pivoter autour de son axe 26 de façon à passer radialement d’une position de calage où il interfère avec la munition contenue dans le tube 7 de manière à la maintenir radialement et axialement par rapport au tube 7, et une position dite libre où les patins 14 sont dégagés de l’intérieur du tube 7 pour cette fois ne pas entraver les mouvements de la munition 100, de la surface de poussée 11 et/ou du bras 10.If the pads 14 are removed in Figure 3a, they are visible in Figure 3b. Each pad can pivot about its axis 26 so as to pass radially from a stall position where it interferes with the munition contained in the tube 7 so as to hold it radially and axially relative to the tube 7, and a so-called free position where the pads 14 are disengaged from the inside of the tube 7 for this time not to hinder the movements of the ammunition 100, the thrust surface 11 and / or the arm 10.
  • Les patins portent, sur une surface interne qui vient en contact avec la munition, un matériau amortisseur.The pads have, on an inner surface that comes into contact with the ammunition, a damping material.
  • Les patins passent de leur position de calage à leur position libre par l’action d’un ressort de rappel (ressorts non visibles) qui tend à placer le patin 14 en position libre.The pads move from their stall position to their free position by the action of a return spring (not visible springs) which tends to place the pad 14 in the free position.
  • Comme on le voit plus clairement à la figure 4b, les patins 14 situés au niveau de la fente 12 ont une amplitude de pivotement suffisante pour ne pas se trouver sur le chemin du bras coulissant dans ladite fente 12 comme représenté à la figure 4b.As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 4b, the pads 14 located at the slot 12 have a sufficient amplitude of pivoting not to be in the path of the sliding arm in said slot 12 as shown in FIG. 4b.
  • Les patins pivotent comme suite à la libération d’un dispositif de verrouillage comprenant des tringles 15. Aux figures 4a et 4b, on peut voir les tringles 15 qui commandent le changement de position des patins 14.The pads pivot as a result of the release of a locking device comprising rods 15. In Figures 4a and 4b, we can see the rods 15 which control the change of position of the pads 14.
  • Les tringles 15 coulissent dans des rainures 18 profilées le long du tube 7. Une tringle 15 immobilise et libère plusieurs patins 14, tous situés sur la même génératrice du tube 7, en interférant ou non avec un bord de chaque patin 14.The rods 15 slide in grooves 18 profiled along the tube 7. A rod 15 immobilizes and releases several pads 14, all located on the same generatrix of the tube 7, interfering or not with an edge of each pad 14.
  • Selon les figures 6a et 6b, chaque tringle 15 comporte ainsi des encoches 16 (une pour chaque patin 14). Lorsque la tringle 15 coulisse vers l’avant, l’encoche 16 vient se positionner en regard du bord de patin 14 précédemment entravé par la tringle 15, ce qui libère le patin 14 qui, poussé par son ressort, peut se mouvoir radialement par rapport au tube 7, supprimant ainsi le calage de la munition.According to Figures 6a and 6b, each rod 15 and has notches 16 (one for each pad 14). When the rod 15 slides forward, the notch 16 is positioned opposite the shoe edge 14 previously impeded by the rod 15, which releases the pad 14 which, pushed by its spring, can move radially relative to to the tube 7, thus eliminating the setting of the ammunition.
  • Le dispositif de verrouillage comporte aussi des moyens de commande 19 permettant de commander la translation des tringles 15. Ainsi chaque tube 7 comporte au niveau de l’extrémité arrière de chaque tringle 15, extrémité située vers l’arrière du tube 7, des moyens de commande 19 qui sont visibles aux figures 5a,5b,5c et 5d.The locking device also comprises control means 19 for controlling the translation of the rods 15. Thus, each tube 7 has at the rear end of each rod 15, end located towards the rear of the tube 7, means of control 19 which are visible in Figures 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d.
  • Les moyens de commande 19 ont pour fonction d’empêcher les tringles 15 d’avancer de manière involontaire sous l’influence des sollicitations d’usage courante du matériels (chocs, vibrations…), mais aussi de permettre aux surfaces de poussée 11 d’entrainer les tringles 15 vers l’avant lorsqu’une réalimention en munitions est commandée ainsi que d’arrêter la translation des tringles 15 lorsque celles-ci ont libéré les patins.The function of the control means 19 is to prevent the rods 15 from advancing involuntarily under the influence of the usual equipment stresses (shocks, vibrations, etc.), but also to allow the thrust surfaces 11 driving the rods 15 forward when ammunition reimmunition is ordered and stop the translation of the rods 15 when they released the pads.
  • Pour cela, les moyens de commande 19 comportent un loquet 20 comportant un axe de pivot 20a solidaire du tube 7 et transversal à l’axe longitudinal du tube 7. Le loquet 20 comporte un ergot 20b destiné à correspondre avec un logement 21a d’un butoir mobile 21 situé à l’arrière de la tringle 15 empêchant ainsi toute translation de la tringle 15.For this, the control means 19 comprise a latch 20 comprising a pivot axis 20a integral with the tube 7 and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tube 7. The latch 20 comprises a lug 20b intended to correspond with a housing 21a of a movable bumper 21 located at the rear of the rod 15 thus preventing any translation of the rod 15.
  • On notera que lorsqu’une munition est dans le tube 7, la surface de poussée 11 est située en arrière du loquet 20. Pour dégager l’ergot 20b du logement 21a, la surface de poussée 11 comporte un chanfrein 11a qui, lorsque la surface de poussée 11 avance, vient interférer avec un bord du loquet 20 et contre l’action d’un ressort 30, ce qui provoque le pivotement du loquet 20 et l’écartement de l’ergot 20b du logement 21a à mesure que le bord du loquet 20 parcourt le profil du chanfrein 11a.Note that when a munition is in the tube 7, the thrust surface 11 is located behind the latch 20. To disengage the lug 20b of the housing 21a, the thrust surface 11 has a chamfer 11a which, when the surface advance thrust 11, interferes with an edge of the latch 20 and against the action of a spring 30, which causes the pivoting of the latch 20 and the spacing of the lug 20b of the housing 21a as the edge of the latch 20 traverses the profile of chamfer 11a.
  • En poursuivant sa course vers l’avant, la surface de poussée 11 amène le chanfrein 11a à interférer en correspondance de forme avec un pan incliné 21b (figure 5b) du butoir mobile 21 qui est alors poussé vers l’avant par l’action de la surface de poussée 11. Continuing its forward course, the thrust surface 11 causes the chamfer 11a to interfere in shape correspondence with an inclined face 21b (FIG. 5b) of the movable bumper 21 which is then pushed forward by the action of the thrust surface 11.
  • Le butoir 21 est lié en pivot à la tringle 15 par un axe de pivot 28 (figure 5c) et il subit l’action d’un ressort 23 solidaire de la tringle 15 et qui tend à écarter le butoir 21 vers l’extérieur du tube 7.The stopper 21 is pivotally connected to the rod 15 by a pivot pin 28 (FIG. 5c) and is subjected to the action of a spring 23 integral with the rod 15 and which tends to move the stopper 21 towards the outside of the tube 7.
  • Afin que le butoir 21 puisse être poussé par le chanfrein 11a (ce qui pousse la tringle 15), le butoir 21 porte au moins un pion 22 qui circule dans une gorge 7c du tube 7 (figure 5d). La gorge 7c est rectiligne et parallèle au sens de translation de la tringle 15.So that the stopper 21 can be pushed by the chamfer 11a (which pushes the rod 15), the stopper 21 carries at least one pin 22 which flows in a groove 7c of the tube 7 (Figure 5d). The groove 7c is rectilinear and parallel to the direction of translation of the rod 15.
  • Afin que la translation de la tringle 15 cesse au terme de sa course, c’est-à-dire lorsque les encoches 16 de celle-ci sont dans la position adaptée à la libération des patins 14, (voir figure 6a et 6b), la gorge 7c débouche sur un dégagement 7d (figure 5d) qui est perpendiculaire au sens de translation de la tringle 15. Ce dégagement permet au pion 22 de se dégager de la gorge 7c sous l’action du ressort 23.So that the translation of the rod 15 ceases at the end of its stroke, that is to say when the notches 16 thereof are in the position adapted to the release of the pads 14, (see Figure 6a and 6b), the groove 7c opens on a clearance 7d (Figure 5d) which is perpendicular to the direction of translation of the rod 15. This clearance allows the pin 22 to disengage from the groove 7c under the action of the spring 23.
  • De ce fait, le pan incliné 21b n’interfère plus avec le chanfrein 11a et la tringle 15 n’est plus poussée par la surface de poussée 11. La surface de poussée 11 poursuit son avance dans le tube afin de d’acheminer la munition 100 dans une alvéole d’un barillet (voir figure 1).As a result, the inclined panel 21b no longer interferes with the chamfer 11a and the rod 15 is no longer pushed by the thrust surface 11. The thrust surface 11 continues to advance in the tube in order to convey the ammunition 100 in a cell of a barrel (see Figure 1).
