Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of protective devices for an elevation-orientable sight.
  • These devices are to ensure the protection of the viewfinder against the impacts of projectiles.
  • These sights most often equip an armored vehicle and they allow the acquisition of the coordinates of a target and the conduct of a shot.
  • the viewfinder in a cowling which surrounds it and which includes a window in particular allowing movement in elevation of a line of sight of the viewfinder.
  • Licences EP3123100 and FR2509034 describe such protective covers. They have the disadvantage of having to be opened to allow the use of the viewfinder which is therefore poorly protected when it is operational.
  • the subject of the invention is a protective device for a viewfinder that can be tilted in elevation, device comprising a cowling surrounding the viewfinder and comprising a window allowing movement in elevation of a line of sight of the viewfinder, device characterized in that the cowling is spherical and in that it comprises a flap with a spherical profile, complementary to that of the cowling, and carrying an opening allowing the passage of the line of sight, the flap being truncated by a sector and thus having a straight edge arranged in the vicinity an edge of the window for a median pointing position, the shutter closing the window and being able to pivot around the line of sight, the shutter being moved in elevation by pointing means in such a way that the opening follows the positioning in elevation of the line of sight, the device also comprising means ensuring the rotational drive of the shutter during the aiming in elevation, thus ensuring the shutter of the window by the shutter for all the elevation aiming positions.
  • the pointing means may comprise a crown in pivot connection with respect to a base of the cowling and pivotally mounted in bearing around a vertical axis, crown being able to be controlled in rotation by a motor means and carrying a sector with conical teeth meshing with a complementary set of teeth integral with a stirrup, the stirrup itself being pivotally mounted with respect to the cowling around a horizontal axis, the flap being fixed to the stirrup.
  • the flap may be pivotally fixed with respect to the stirrup at the level of its opening, the means for driving the flap in rotation comprising a pinion with a conical profile integral with the flap and which meshes with a rack integral of the cowling, the modification of the pointing in elevation of the stirrup causing the pivoting of the flap.
  • the flap may be pivotally fixed relative to the stirrup at the level of its opening, the means for driving the flap in rotation comprising a pin integral with the flap and circulating in a groove provided in the cowling, the modification of the pointing in elevation of the stirrup causing the pivoting of the flap.
  • a protection device 1 for a viewfinder that can be tilted in elevation, comprises a globally spherical cowling 2 which surrounds the viewfinder and which comprises a longitudinal window 3 allowing movement in elevation (arrow S) of a line of sight 4 of the viewfinder.
  • Window 3 extends along a meridian of the sphere formed by the cowling 2 and it is delimited by two parallel side edges 3a and 3b, connected by an upper edge 3c and a lower edge 3d.
  • the side edges 3a, 3b are parallel to the bearing axis 6, or more precisely these side edges are arranged in planes parallel to the bearing axis 6 (meridian planes of the spherical cowling 2).
  • the lower 3d and upper 3c edges are parallel to the elevation axis 7, or more precisely are arranged in planes parallel to the elevation axis 7.
  • the elevation axis 7 is an axis perpendicular to bearing axis 6.
  • the viewfinder is an optical device of known type which is not described in detail. It is enclosed inside the cowling 2 which is globally spherical. This viewfinder, whose foot 5 has been shown in the figures, is pivotable in bearing around the vertical axis 6 (or bearing axis) and it is orientable in elevation by pivoting about a horizontal axis 7 (or bearing axis). site). The orientations in elevation and in bearing are obtained thanks to specific motorizations of the viewfinder (not shown).
  • the line of sight 4 can be directed along different directions in space.
  • the cowling 2 is generally spherical and it comprises a flap 8 which also has a spherical profile complementary to that of the cowling.
  • the flap 8 is located inside the cowling 2 and it closes off the window 3, thus ensuring ballistic protection of the window 3 and of the viewfinder when aiming the viewfinder.
  • the shutter 8 has an opening 9 which allows the passage of the line of sight 4. This opening 9 has the dimension strictly necessary for the viewfinder.
  • the cowling is constituted by two substantially hemispherical shells 2a and 2b and linked to each other by screwed flanges 11, positioned along a generatrix (see the Figure 2 ).
  • the cowling 2 is positioned inside a circular bearing 12 which allows the pivoting in bearing of the cowling, in a manner synchronized with that of the viewfinder itself.
  • the cowling 2 is also integral with a bracket 13 which is pivotally mounted with respect to the cowling 2 around the horizontal axis 7.
  • the mounting of the stirrup 13 is carried out using bearings 14 which are positioned on two journals 15 integral with the cowling 2 and which receive rings 16 integral with the two ends of the stirrup 13.
  • the stirrup 13 carries the flap 8 which is fixed to it at the level of the opening 9.
  • the shutter 8 indeed comprises a part 8a with a spherical profile on which is fixed a cylindrical tube 8b which materializes the opening 9.
  • the tube 8b which is housed in a smooth bearing 17 carried by the stirrup 13.
  • the tube 8b also carries a bevel pinion 18 (see also the Figure 6 ) (for example glued or welded to tube 8b).
  • This conical pinion 18 meshes with a rack with a conical profile 19 which also has a generally circular shape and is fixed to the spherical cowling 2 along the window 3.
  • Pointing in elevation of the stirrup 13 is controlled by pointing means which comprise a crown 20 in pivot connection with respect to a base of the cowling 2 (that is to say able to pivot to a certain extent with respect to the cowling 2).
  • This crown 20 can moreover pivot freely with respect to the circular bearing 12, an inner ring of which is fixed to the cowling, and it therefore accompanies the aiming in bearing of the viewfinder and of the cowling 2 which surrounds it.
  • Crown 20 carries a sector 21 with conical teeth which meshes with complementary teeth 22 integral with stirrup 13.
  • crown 20 carries peripheral toothing on which a pinion 23 meshes, the rotation of which is controlled by a motorization M.
  • a cover 24 covers crown 20 and pinion 23, but these elements are visible on the Figure 6 in which the cover 24 is removed.
  • the crown 20 pivots around the bearing axis 6 and relative to the cowling 2. It therefore drives the sector 21 which causes the tilting of the stirrup 13, therefore the aiming in elevation. It is easy to control the pointing angle in elevation of the stirrup 13 by an appropriate control of the motorization M. It will suffice to provide an optical sensor (not shown) making it possible to know the orientation in elevation of the stirrup 13 , to ensure the servo control of the motorization M on the desired value (and corresponding to the aiming in elevation of the viewfinder disposed in the cowling 2).
  • the spherical part 8a of the flap 8 extends more widely on one side of the axis 4 than on the other side.
  • the spherical part 8a of the flap is stopped at a straight edge 25 which is at a distance d from the pivot axis 4.
  • the spherical part 8a which in principle has the pivot axis 4 as its axis of symmetry is therefore truncated by a sector at the level of the right edge 25.
  • FIGs 3a to 3c and 4a to 4c show the positions of the flap and the caliper 13 for the maximum pointing ( Figures 3a and 4a ), the minimum score ( Figure 3c and 4c ) and for a median score ( Figure 3b and 4b ).
  • the shutter When the caliper 13 is in the minimum pointing position ( figure 3c and 4c ), the shutter has pivoted in the anti-clockwise direction and the right edge 25 of the shutter 8 is horizontal and is close to the lower edge 3d of the window 3.
  • the Picture 7 thus shows a flap 8 which carries near its right edge 25 a lug 26 carrying a pin 27.
  • This pin 27 is intended to circulate in a groove 28 which is arranged on the internal face of the shell 2b of the cowling 2 ( Picture 8 ).
  • the profile of the groove 28 will be easily determined by the person skilled in the art by modeling by computer-aided design the pivoting of the flap 8 carrying the pin 27.
  • FIGS 9a, 9b and 9c show flap 8 in different positions.
  • the cowling 2 has been removed but the location of the groove 28 is shown in these figures.
  • the straight edge 25 is substantially vertical and parallel to a side edge of the window.
  • pointing in elevation corresponds to a pivoting of the viewfinder around an axis of horizontal pointing 7 and pointing in bearing is done by rotation of the sight around a vertical axis 6. It is of course possible to position the sight with orientations of the axes of site 7 and bearing 6 which are no longer respectively horizontal and vertical.
  • the aiming of the line of sight can always be carried out but with combined commands of the rotations around the two axes to give the line of sight 4 a desired orientation with respect to a fixed reference.
  • the pointing axes 6 and 7 are perpendicular to each other and that the window has its side edges arranged in meridian planes parallel to an axis (called bearing) which is the axis causing the sphere formed by the cover to pivot.
  • the axis (known as elevation) being an axis perpendicular to this bearing axis.
