Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the technical field of magazines for large caliber weapons and turrets equipped with such a magazine.
  • Such a magazine requires the use of an intermediate operator, which slows down the rate of fire of the weapon and impacts the total volume of the turret.
  • the invention proposes to solve this problem of speed of loading as well as the problem of size.
  • the invention relates to an automated ammunition magazine comprising a first belt conveyor called internal conveyor for ammunition parallel to each other which is organized in an endless rotating loop, a second belt conveyor called external conveyor is also organized in a rotating loop without end which surrounds the first belt conveyor for ammunition parallel to each other, each belt conveyor being able to move the ammunition so as to successively place the longitudinal axis of each ammunition in the same vertical plane, store characterized in that the ammunition located in the aforementioned vertical plane, called the loading plane, have their longitudinal axes which converge.
  • each belt conveyor is able to drive the ammunition independently of any movement of the other belt conveyor.
  • each belt conveyor is driven by specific motor means.
  • each belt conveyor comprises a series of cells connected to each other by articulated links, each cell comprising means for holding ammunition.
  • the magazine comprises two discharge means, a first discharge means associated with the first belt conveyor and a second discharge means associated with the second external conveyor belt, each discharge means being positioned in a fixed manner at the level of the loading plane.
  • each discharge means comprising a pusher intended to introduce ammunition into the chamber of the weapon.
  • the invention also relates to a turret comprising a large-caliber weapon that can be steered in elevation and comprising an automated ammunition magazine according to one of the preceding characteristics, a magazine located behind the weapon, each belt conveyor of the magazine being able to moving each ammunition that it carries successively in the vertical plane, called the loading plane, a plane which also passes through the axis of the barrel of the weapon, turret characterized in that the weapon can be tilted with a first elevation angle loading bay in which its longitudinal axis is aligned with the axis of a first ammunition arranged in the internal belt conveyor which itself has its longitudinal axis in the loading plane, the weapon being able to be tilted with a second angle of loading site in which its longitudinal axis is aligned with the axis of a second ammunition arranged in the outer belt conveyor with its axis in the loading plane.
  • the first loading site angle and the second loading site angle are negative site angles, that is to say such that the weapon is pointing downwards.
  • the first loading site angle and the second loading site angle converge towards a pivot axis transverse to the weapon.
  • the axis transverse to the weapon is coaxial with the axis of pivoting of the trunnions of the weapon.
  • a turret 100 intended to equip a combat tank comprises a weapon 10 equipped with a tube 11 of large caliber.
  • the weapon 10 is integral with the turret 100 at the level of pins 12 allowing the pivoting of the weapon 10 around an axis 12a horizontal and transverse to the weapon 10 in order to perform pointings in elevation. Pointing in bearing is ensured by the pivoting of the turret 100 around a circular turret bearing 101.
  • an ammunition magazine 1 comprising two endless belt conveyors 2 and 3. Each conveyor 2 and 3 is intended to supply the weapon 10 according to the methods described. further away.
  • Each belt conveyor 2 and 3 comprises a series of cells 13 connected to each other by articulated links 14, each cell 13 comprising means for holding ammunition.
  • Each conveyor thus comprises at all times two linear band portions L which are connected by two cylindrical band portions C with axes parallel and parallel to the axes of the cells 13 (or ammunition). Each band 2 and 3 thus winds between the geometric axes of the cylindrical portions C.
  • Such a type of belt conveyor is described in particular by the patent FR2668253 and it is not necessary to describe it in detail.
  • each conveyor 2 and 3 comprises motor means 501 and 502 ( figure 4 ) capable of driving the bands 2 and 3 by rotation in a direction transverse to the ammunition 13.
  • the movements of each conveyor 2 and 3 take place independently of one another by these motor means 501 and 502, each means being specific to a conveyor.
  • Such an arrangement makes it possible to move a conveyor 2 or 3 in masked time while the other conveyor 2 or 3 supplies the weapon 10 for example.
  • each conveyor 2 and 3 are guided by the ends of each cell 13 which have rollers (not visible rollers) which follow grooves 601 and 602 located on the sides 700 of the magazine 1, grooves 601 and 602 each forming a closed circuit associated with one of the conveyors.
  • each belt conveyor 2 or 3 is able to present, one after the other, each ammunition 200 that it contains with the axis of this ammunition positioned in a vertical plane P passing through the axis X of the tube 11 of the weapon 10.
  • This plane P will be called loading plane.
  • a first munition 201, of the internal belt conveyor 2 which is located in the plane P, has its longitudinal axis 301 which converges with the longitudinal axis 302 of a second munition 202 carried by the external belt conveyor 3 located she also in the plane P.
  • ⁇ on the figure 2a the angle between axes 301 and 302.
  • the longitudinal axes 301 and 302 also converge towards the transverse axis 12a of the pins 12 of the weapon 10.
  • the longitudinal axis X of the tube 11 of the weapon can be aligned with the longitudinal axis 301 of a first ammunition 201 of the internal belt conveyor 2 which is located in the plane P.
  • the alignment is simply obtained by pivoting the weapon 11 around its elevation axis 12a until it has a first loading elevation angle ⁇ 1.
  • the ammunition 201 is opposite the tube 11 of the weapon 10 and can be loaded automatically into the chamber of the weapon using a first associated discharge means 401 to the internal belt conveyor 2.
  • a discharge means 401 is described for example in the patent FR2668253 and comprises a non-visible pusher intended to push ammunition from a cell located in the loading plane P into the chamber of the weapon 11 (chamber not visible).
  • the first loading site angle ⁇ 1 corresponds to pointing the weapon 11 downwards (relative to the horizontal line H).
  • the forces of gravity which are exerted on the ammunition 201 facilitate the transfer of the latter from the internal conveyor 2 towards the chamber of the weapon 11.
  • this second loading site angle ⁇ 2 is such that the weapon 10 points downwards for the same reasons as explained previously.
  • the loading will also take place automatically using a second discharge means 402 associated with the external belt conveyor 3, second discharge means 402 also comprising a pusher (pusher not visible).
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the size of the magazine by placing an external conveyor and an internal conveyor concentrically, but above all it makes it possible to obtain efficient automatic loading which does not impact the usual aiming of a weapon in elevation.
  • the loading site angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are respectively of the order of ⁇ 2 degrees and ⁇ 6 degrees with a difference ⁇ of 4 degrees between the two pointings. These relatively close angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 make it possible to pass quickly from one loading position to another.
  • the rate of fire or the speed of changing the type of ammunition can also be significantly increased since when ammunition of a belt conveyor is being loaded the other conveyor can freely transport another ammunition into the loading plane P to prepare the next shot.
  • arrow ammunition can be placed in the internal conveyor and explosive ammunition in the external conveyor.
