Definitions
- the invention relates to a holding device for ammunition bodies with two relatively movable holding shells that bil a holding area in which an ammunition body can be held, wherein at least one holding shell is rotatable about an axis of rotation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a magazine with a holding device, a projectile lift with egg ner holding device and a method for holding Munitionskör pern.
- Such holding devices are used, for example, in ammunition magazines in order to hold the corresponding ammunition bodies securely at a storage location.
- Ammunition bodies can slip or tilt, which can be prevented by using appropriate holding devices.
- such holding devices In terms of construction, such holding devices generally have two movable holding shells which form a holding area in which an ammunition body can be held.
- the holding area is located between the two holding shells and corresponds to the cross section of the ammunition body held when the holding device is closed.
- one or possibly both holding shells can be rotated back and forth around an axis of rotation between a closed or holding position and an open or transfer position, and the holding device is thus designed in the manner of holding tongs.
- ammunition bodies When the holding tongs are open, ammunition bodies can be inserted into or removed from the holding tongs and when the holding tongs are closed, the ammunition body is taken up between the two holding jaws or the holding shells of the tongs and can then no longer be moved relative to the holding device.
- Such holding tongs have proven themselves, but they require a relatively large amount of space. Because the distance of the axis of rotation of the holding shell from the longitudinal axis of the ammunition body is relatively large, so that the holding shell moves relatively far away from the ammunition body when the pliers are opened and a certain area must be kept in front of the holding shells for opening.
- the invention is based on the task of specifying a holding device for ammunition bodies with a reduced space requirement and a corresponding method for holding ammunition bodies.
- this object is achieved in that the axis of rotation of the holding shell extends richly through the holding area.
- This configuration enables opening and closing of the Garvorrich device with a smaller space requirement. Because since the axis of rotation of the holding shell runs through the holding area, the distance between the longitudinal axis of the ammunition body and the axis of rotation of the holding shell and thus also the space required for opening is reduced compared to the pliers solution. The holding shell therefore does not have to be moved so far away from the ammunition body in order to open and close the holding device.
- both holding shells can be rotated about a common axis of rotation. This enables the holding device to be opened and closed quickly or the holding shells to be rotated quickly between the holding position and the transfer position
- the axis of rotation of the holding shell is aligned with the longitudinal axis of a held ammunition body.
- This configuration allows the holding device to be opened and closed without requiring additional space.
- Both holding shells can move in a round contour when opening and closing and the distance between the holding shells and the axis of rotation can remain constant.
- the axis of rotation can run centrally through the holding area. Since ammunition bodies are rotationally symmetrical, the holding area also has a correspondingly round contour which can match the outer diameter of the ammunition body.
- the holding device can receive the ammunition bodies in a lying position.
- the ammunition body To be arranged horizontally, since the ammunition bodies, in contrast to a standing position, are then much more accessible.
- lying ammunition bodies in a military vehicle usually already point in the direction of firing, so that the ammunition bodies can be introduced relatively easily into the weapon barrel and do not first have to be rotated 90 degrees in elevation.
- the holding shells With regard to the design of the holding shells, it has proven to be advantageous if they are designed in the manner of cylinder segments. It is advantageous if the central axes of the cylinder segments correspond to the axis of rotation. This configuration enables a reliable inclusion of ammunition bodies, since these are also out of cylindrical shape.
- segment angles of the holding shells do not add up to more than 180 degrees.
- the segment angle denotes the angle that the connection of one end of a holding shell in cross section with the axis of rotation includes with the connection of the corresponding other end with the axis of rotation.
- the corresponding connections are at right angles to the axis of rotation.
- the larger the segment angle or segments the more contact surface is available for the ammunition body and the more stable the holding shells are.
- the segment angle must therefore be sufficiently large so that ammunition bodies with a greater weight can also be safely picked up and held.
- the holding shells have different segment angles.
- the holding shell with the larger segment angles can accordingly carry more weight than the holding shell with the smaller segment angle.
- the holding shell with the larger segment angle can be arranged in the holding position below the ammunition body and the holding shell with the smaller segment angle can be arranged above the ammunition body.
- the segment angle of the one holding shell can be between 90 and 175 degrees, preferably between 100 and 160 degrees, particularly preferably between 110 and 140 degrees and very particularly preferably between 115 and 130 degrees.
- a segment angle of 120 degrees has proven to be advantageous.
- the segment angle of the other holding shell can be between 30 and 100 degrees, preferably between 40 and 80 degrees and particularly preferably between 50 and 70 degrees. In practice, 60 degrees have proven to be advantageous.
- the two holding shells are rotatable relative to one another about the axis of rotation.
- the two holding shells can be moved relative to one another about the axis of rotation.
- the two holding shells can be moved in opposite directions.
- a Garschalenan drive offers advantages over moving the holding shells with two drives, particularly in terms of cost.
- the holding shells have a single common holding Shell drive are movable relative to each other.
- the use of only one drive also reduces the probability of failure.
- the movements of the holding shells can be positively coupled, so that a movement of one holding shell leads to a movement of the other holding shell.
- the two holding shells can then not be moved freely and independently of one another, so that fixed holding positions and transfer positions result.
- the coupling also prevents one of the two holding shells from moving unintentionally and thus reduces the risk that an ammunition body is not securely held in the holding position or cannot be removed from the holding device or inserted into the holding device in the transfer position.
- the two holding shells can be moved in opposite directions. If, for example, one of the holding shells is rotated clockwise about the axis of rotation, the other holding shell can be rotated counterclockwise.
- the holding shells drive be connected to the two holding shells via a transmission.
- the transmission can ensure that the two holding shells can be moved relative to one another in opposite directions with just one drive.
- the gear is arranged at an end region of the holding shells.
- the gearbox is therefore easily accessible from the outside, which simplifies maintenance.
- the transmission can be arranged at the end region of the holding shells in which the rear end of the ammunition body is received. In this respect, the transmission can then limit the holding area to the rear.
- the transmission and the holding shell drive at the front end of the holding shells.
- the holding shells can be mounted on a pivot bearing at the opposite end region. Due to such storage on both sides of the holding shells, the forces acting can be reliably taken up.
- the holding area or the held ammunition bodies can be located between the two holding shells and between the pivot bearing and the gearbox. To this extent, the ammunition bodies are then securely held in the holding device in the holding position in every direction and cannot move.
- a Pla designated gear allows in a structurally simple way counter-rotating movement of the two holding shells with only one drive about a common axis of rotation.
- the planetary gear can have a ring gear with internal teeth and a sun rim with external teeth.
- a plurality of planetary gears which mesh with the ring gear and with the sun gear can be provided between the ring gear and the sun gear.
- Three evenly distributed planet gears have proven to be advantageous for even power transmission.
- the sun gear and the ring gear can both be rotatable about the axis of rotation.
- the planet gears can be rotatably mounted on a web and connected to one another so that they cannot move relative to one another.
- the holding shell drive can be connected to the web, for example via a screw connection.
- the sun gear When the sun gear is rotated in one direction around the axis of rotation, the planet gears ensure that the ring gear rotates in the opposite direction.
- the ring gear can be connected to one of the holding shells and the sun gear can be connected to the other Ren holding shell be connected, so that then both holding shells can rotate in opposite directions about the axis of rotation.
- the two holding shells can be rotated together about the axis of rotation via a rotary drive. This enables a broader range of applications for the holding device.
- a corresponding rotation also ensures that in the transfer position ammunition bodies are introduced into the holding device from every direction or that ammunition bodies can be ejected from the holding device in every direction.
- the two holding shells in the transfer position can be transferred into a gripping position by a common rotation about the axis of rotation and aligned so that they can grip an ammunition body from above.
- the ammunition body is secured in the holding device and can then, for example, be moved together with the holding device.
- ammunition bodies can also be gripped with the holding device and the holding device can be designed in the manner of a gripper.
- the gripping position therefore corresponds to a transfer position in which both holding shells were rotated together by 90 degrees around the axis of rotation.
- the two holding shells can be rotated together about the axis of rotation without moving relative to one another, that is to say without relative movement.
- the rotary drive can rotate the holding shell drive, the gear unit and the holding shells together around the axis of rotation.
- the planetary gears of the transmission can be coupled to the rotary drive via the web.
- the web can, for example, be connected to a toothed ring that can be rotated by the rotary drive.
- the rotary drive can be arranged above the holding shell drive.
- the two holding shells are in a holding position opposite one another in such a way that an ammunition body is held between the two holding shells and the two holding shells are arranged in a transfer position in such a way that an ammunition body is out the two holding shells can be evaluated.
- the ammunition body can lie in one of the holding shells, in particular in the larger holding shell, and the other holding shell can be opposite the holding shells and thus secure the ammunition body.
- the ammunition body can be held positively.
- the two holding shells are then arranged on opposite sides of the ammunition body. In order to remove the ammunition body from the holding device or to eject it from the holding device, the two holding shells can be moved into the transfer position in which the ammunition body is no longer secured.
- the two holding shells rest against one another in the transfer position.
- This position of the two holding shells ensures that ammunition bodies can be removed from the holding device or inserted into the holding device.
- the shape End canceled accordingly.
- the two holding shells can abut against one another, but in the transfer position the two holding shells can also rest against one another in such a way that they are at least partially arranged one behind the other and overlap. Since the gripping position basically only corresponds to a rotated transfer position, the two holding shells can rest against one another in the gripping position.
- one of the holding shells has an ejection device for ejecting an ammunition body.
- a certain force can be applied to an ammunition body via the ejection device, which facilitates the removal or ejection of the ammunition body.
- the ejection device can be designed as an ejector pawl and in particular as a spring. As a result of the design as a spring, no additional activation or electrical energy is required to eject the ammunition body from the holding device.
- the ammunition body can pre-tension the ejection device so that this then ensures that the ammunition body is ejected from the holding device when the holding shells are transferred to the transfer order.
- the ejection device can be arranged in the holding shell with the larger segment angle, since the main load of the ammunition body can weigh on this holding shell. It is advantageous if the ejection device is arranged in the area of the center of gravity of the ammunition body, that is to say in particular in the center of the holding shell. Furthermore, however, it is also possible to provide several ejection devices distributed over the length of the holding bracket. As a result, a reliable ejection of the ammunition body can be achieved without it tilting. The longitudinal axis of the ammunition body then remains parallel to the axis of rotation of the holding shells. Furthermore, it has been found to be advantageous if an ejection mechanism is provided with at least one ejection pawl and an ejection drive for moving the ejection pawl. The ejector pawl can be moved via the ejector drive, thereby ejecting the ammunition body from the holding shell.
- the ejection mechanism can be designed in such a way that the ejection pawl can be actuated via a relative movement of the holding rollers.
- the ejection pawl can thus be positively coupled to the holding rollers in such a way that the ammunition bodies are automatically ejected when the holding rollers take a predefined position, in particular the transfer position.
- the ejection pawl can have two pawl members which are pivotably connected to the holding shell at one end and which are pivoted to eject a mu nition body. It is advantageous if the two pawl members are pivoted towards each other or at least one Klin ken member is pivoted to the other pawl member. For example, one pawl member can be pivoted clockwise and the other pawl member counterclockwise. At the end not connected to the holding shell, the pawl members can have rollers which can ensure that the ammunition body is reliably ejected and does not jam.
- the ends of the pawl members or the rollers can be in contact with the lower half of the ammunition body, so that when the pawl members are pivoted, the ammunition body is removed from the holding shell in which the pawl members are stored , is moved away.
- the ejection mechanism is designed in such a way that the ammunition bodies are ejected in a specific direction independently of the force of gravity.
- the ammunition can in this respect are not only ejected downwards, but also, for example, laterally and to a certain extent also upwards from the holding shells.
- the ejector pawl protrudes over the edge of the lower holding shell.
- the ejector pawl can thus have a larger segment angle than the holding shell, in particular than the holding shell with the larger segment angle.
- the ammunition body can also be additionally secured in the holding shell by the ejector pawl.
- ejection pawls With regard to a reliable ejection of the ammunition body, it has been found to be advantageous if several, in particular three, ejection pawls are provided.
- One ejector pawl can be provided for the rear area of the ammunition body and two ejector pawls for the front area of the ammunition body.
- the ejector drive has a toothed segment coupled to one of the two holding shells and an ejecting pinion rotatably connected to the other holding shell, the toothed segment rotating the ejecting pinion and thereby actuating the ejecting pawl when the holding shells move relative to one another.
- the ejection of the ammunition body can in this respect be positively controlled by the relative movement of the holding shells.
- No additional motor is required to drive the ejector pawls.
- the ejection pinion can, for example, be rotatably coupled to one or more ejection pawls via a linkage coupling.
- the ejector pinion is rotatably coupled to at least one pawl member, so that when the ejector pinion rotates through the toothed segment, the pawl member is correspondingly also rotated and the ammunition body is basically automatically ejected.
- the toothed segment can be designed in such a way that it does not actuate the ejection pinion in a certain rotational range of the holding shell and actuates the ejection pinion in another rotational range.
- the holding shells can thus be moved relative to one another in a certain area without the ejector pawls being activated. This is due to the fact that the ammunition body can only be ejected when the holding shells have been rotated far enough.
- toothed segment comes into contact with a different ejector pinion when the holding shell is rotating in a clockwise direction than when rotating counterclockwise.
- an ejection pinion for an ejection to the right and an ejection pinion for an ejection to the left.
- toothed segment and the drive pinion are not arranged within the holding area so that it is not reduced or impaired.
- a toothed segment in the front loading area of the holding shell and another toothed segment can be provided in the rear area of the holding shell.
- the same can also apply to the sprocket from, whereby two sprockets can be present in the front as well as in the rear area, one for an ejection to the right and one for an ejection to the left.
- the holding shells are fitted to the contour of the ammunition body and then, in particular in the front and rear areas, do not have the same distance from one another or from the axis of rotation, it may be necessary that the translations between the front tooth segment and the front ejection pinions and between the rear tooth segment and the rear ejector pinions are not the same.
- the number of teeth of the front and rear tooth segments and / or the number of teeth of the front and rear ejector pinions can be different. With this configuration it can be achieved that the ejection pawls or the pawl members of the ejection pawls are pivoted in the same direction when the holding shells are rotated.
- the holding shells are designed in such a way that they are adapted to the contour of the ammunition body to be held. This adaptation ensures that the ammunition body cannot move between the two holding shells and is thus held securely.
- the distance between the holding shells and the axis of rotation can be greater in the rear area of the holding shells than in the front area. This goes hand in hand with the fact that the ammunition bodies are also narrower in the front area than in the rear area due to the aerodynamics.
- the holding area can be shaped like an ammunition body.
- the holding shells can extend over the entire length of the floor.
- the holding shells can have a length of at least 300 mm, preferably at least 500 mm, particularly preferably at least 700 mm, more preferably at least 900 mm, more preferably at least 1100 mm and very particularly preferably at least 1300 mm.
- the holding shells and the holding area can be designed to accommodate caliber 120 mm bullets.
- the ammunition bodies can be designed as large-caliber ammunition bodies which can be fired through the weapon barrel of a military vehicle. For example, it can be bullets with a caliber of 120 mm. It can be cartridged ammunition, Kartuschenmu nition with a propellant charge separated from the projectile, or propellant charges or projectiles per se. In particular, it is about lethal ammunition.
- the stated object is achieved in a method for holding ammunition bodies with a holding device in that the holding device has two holding shells which can be moved relative to one another and which form a holding area in which an ammunition body is held, with at least one of the two holding shells around one the axis of rotation extending through the holding area is rotated.
- the magazine can have two, in particular parallel, base plates, between which the holding device or the two holding shells are rotatably mounted.
- the base plates can have a hole pattern with several holes.
- the holding device can be inserted into the corresponding holes.
- the pivot bearing can be mounted in one base plate and the gear mechanism can be mounted in the other base plate.
- the gear can be connected to the base plate via the web, so that the web cannot move in relation to the base plate.
- the web can be screwed to the base plate for this purpose.
- the axis of rotation of the holding shells can be arranged perpendicular to the two base plates.
- the magazine can have several storage spaces arranged next to each other for storing ammunition bodies, whereby the storage spaces can each be assigned a holding device for holding an ammunition body, wherein a conveying device for conveying an ammunition body from one holding device to an adjacent holding device can be.
- This configuration ensures that individual ammunition bodies can be moved back and forth between the various storage locations, regardless of the other ammunition bodies. It is therefore not necessary to move all the ammunition bodies and holding devices, but an ammunition body can be selected and this can then be brought to the removal position independently of the other ammunition bodies.
- the ammunition bodies are stored or stored lying in the magazine. Due to this configuration, the ammunition bodies are more easily accessible than, for example, in the case of standing storage and, moreover, the ammunition bodies usually have to be attached to the weapon in a lying position anyway. leads, so that a horizontal storage also simplifies the downstream loading process of the weapon.
- each storage level comprising several storage locations.
- This Ausgestal device leads to a tight ammunition body package, so that the available space is used as well as possible.
- the number of storage levels and the number of storage spaces per level can thus be adapted to the prevailing space conditions. In practice, for example, three storage levels with eight storage spaces each have proven to be advantageous for military vehicles. This would then correspond to a capacity of 24 ammunition bodies. At the same time, only one storage place can be provided at each storage level.
- each level is assigned a certain type of ammunition body, so that when selecting an ammunition body or an ammunition body type, this can be removed from the corresponding level without the ammunition bodies of the other levels having to be moved.
- the projectile lift can transport the ammunition bodies to be stored to their corresponding storage level and then transfer them accordingly again from the storage level to a removal position when the ammunition bodies are removed. It is advantageous if the magazine for several Munitionskör by a common removal position, especially for all Munitionskö- has a common removal position for removing the ammunition body from the magazine.
- the ammunition bodies can only be removed from the magazine at a fixed point and only at this point is space required or a corresponding removal space in the Ent direction behind the magazine.
- the magazine has two storage areas, with a projectile lift for conveying the ammunition bodies between the storage levels being arranged between the two storage areas.
- This configuration reduces the path of the ammunition body from its storage place in the magazine to the Ge shot lift.
- the storey lift can be arranged in the middle of the magazine so that the two storage areas are the same size and accordingly the same number of storage spaces is available on both sides of the storey lift.
- the ammunition bodies in the storage areas can be fed to the ammunition lift independently of one another, which, for example, simplifies the selection of ammunition bodies. By dividing the magazine into two parts it is also made possible that twice the number of different ammunition bodies can be selected directly. If, for example, there are three storage levels, not only can a different type of ammunition body be present on each storage level, but also in each storage area of each storage level.
- At least one conveying device for conveying the ammunition bodies is assigned to each of the storage levels in the respective storage level.
- the Munitionskör can be moved back and forth in the horizontal direction between the individual storage locations of a storage level.
- the storage levels are designed as stack storage in which the ammunition bodies are stored according to the last-in-first-out principle.
- Such a stack structure is characterized by a small installation space, since no space is required to move the ammunition bodies past one another.
- only a single or at least one storage level can be provided, which is designed as a stacking store and in which the ammunition bodies are appropriately stored.
- the ammunition bodies When ammunitioning, the ammunition bodies can first be brought to the corresponding storage level by the projectile lift and then moved by the conveyor in a storage direction until they have reached their final storage location. During removal, the ammunition bodies are then transported by the transport facility in the opposite direction from their respective storage location to the projectile lift.
- the conveying device can move the ammunition bodies over several storage locations, depending on how many ammunition bodies are already on the corresponding storage level.
- the conveying device first transports the first ammunition body to the storage area which is furthest away from the projectile elevator.
- the ammunition body passes through the storage areas between the projectile lift and the final storage area before it arrives at the latter.
- the conveyor can move the ammunition to the projectile elevator. Since all storage locations of the storage level or the storage area of the storage level between the storage location of the ammunition to be removed The ammunition body that is closest to the projectile lift must be removed first at each storage level.
- At least one transport device is provided between the storage levels.
- This configuration enables the ammunition bodies to be conveyed with as few conveying devices as possible, which reduces the volume of the magazine.
- two conveying devices can be provided, namely one between the middle and lower storage level and one between the middle and upper storage level.
- the conveying device can move both ammunition bodies which are arranged below the conveying device and ammunition bodies which are arranged above. It is possible to move several ammunition bodies at the same time with one conveying device, even in different storage levels.
- each storage level can be assigned its own transport device or some storage levels can only be assigned one, and other storage levels can be assigned several transport devices.
- conveying devices can also be provided which are arranged below or above a storage level, but not between two storage levels.
- a transport device can be arranged below the lowest or above the uppermost storage level.
- each conveyor has a single plane drive. Furthermore, it is also possible that only one drive for all transport facilities or for all transport facilities of a storage area is provided.
- the conveying devices can then be correspondingly coupled to one another, for example via a belt drive.
- the conveying shaft can be arranged between two adjacent holding devices.
- between does not mean that the conveying shaft is arranged exactly between two holding devices, but above between or below between the holding devices.
- Ammunition bodies can be transported from a storage location to an adjacent storage location via the transport shaft.
- the holding devices can first be brought into a transfer position in which it is possible to introduce ammunition bodies into the holding devices or to remove them from the holding device.
- the mu nition bodies can then be conveyed via the rotatable conveying shaft from one holding device to the other holding device.
- the conveying shafts can extend parallel to the longitudinal axes of the ammunition bodies or the holding devices. Furthermore, a transport shaft can also be arranged between the floor lift and the respective first holding devices. The design of the conveying devices can be independent of the positioning of the conveying devices.
- the magazine can have two, in particular parallel, base plates, between which the conveying device or the conveying shafts are rotatably mounted.
- the base plates can have a hole pattern with several holes.
- the transport shafts can be inserted into the corresponding holes.
- the base plates can be spaced apart from one another by several, in particular four, rods.
- the Hal- t devices or the holding shells of the holding devices can be rotatably mounted between tween the two base plates.
- the longitudinal or rotational axes of the holding devices can be arranged parallel to one another, so that a matrix-like arrangement results. Furthermore, the longitudinal or rotational axes of the holding devices can be arranged perpendicular to the base plates.
- the conveyor shaft has at least one conveyor wheel with at least one receiving contour for receiving an ammunition body.
- the receiving contour can be adapted to the ammunition body geometry for safe transport of the ammunition body, so that the ammunition body cannot slip during transport.
- the receptacle is designed with a concave contour.
- each conveying shaft has two conveying wheels. For example, a transport wheel can attack in the rear area of the ammunition body and a transport wheel in the middle area of the ammunition body, which is usually the heaviest. An additional transport wheel for the front part of the ammunition body is also possible.
- the conveying edges of a conveying shaft can be connected to one another via a strut and rotatably coupled to one another via the strut.
- the transport wheel is designed as a star wheel with, in particular, four receiving contours. If the transport wheel has four receiving contours, the transport wheel can be rotated a quarter turn to transport an ammunition body.
- each conveyor wheel can be designed as a star wheel.
- the conveyance shaft has a drive wheel.
- the drive wheel can be connected to the strut and thus also be rotatably coupled to the transport wheels.
- the drive wheel can be arranged at one end of the conveyor shaft and driven by a chain or belt drive.
- the drive wheel is part of a drive motor, in particular when each conveying shaft is driven by its own drive motor.
- the conveying shafts of a conveying device can be rotated via a common level drive. All the conveying shafts of a conveying device can thus be rotated synchronously via the common drive and it is not necessary to individually drive all conveying shafts.
- the drive wheels of the conveyor shafts can be coupled to one another, for example via a chain or a belt. Furthermore, it is possible that the drive shafts of different conveying devices are also coupled to one another, as a result of which the number of drives required can be further reduced. Nevertheless, it has proven to be advantageous in terms of reliability if only the transport shafts of a transport device are coupled to one another. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide a separate drive for all transport shafts.
- a transport facility is provided above a storage level and below a storage level, it may be necessary for the transport waves of the two transport facilities to gen to move the ammunition in different directions. If, for example, an ammunition body is to be moved in the storage direction, it may be necessary that the transport shafts arranged above the corresponding storage level must be rotated clockwise and the transport shafts arranged below the transport shafts counterclockwise, since the ammunition body must be rotated both during transport is transported from above as well as from below through the respective transport wheels.
- two conveying shafts are provided between two adjacent holding devices, which have an offset angle of rotation with respect to one another.
- Each of these at the transport shafts can have one or more transport wheels so that the ammunition bodies can be transferred from the transport wheels of one transport shaft to the transport wheels of the other transport shaft when being transported from one holding device to an adjacent holding device.
- This double guide has proven to be particularly advantageous for storage levels whose ammunition bodies are only conveyed by conveying devices arranged above the storage level, for example for the lowest storage level.
- the ammunition body can also be transported over a greater distance between two adjacent holding devices through the double guide. This can also be advantageous when moving from the storey lift to the first holding device located closest to the storey lift, since this stand may be greater than the distance between two holding devices ei ner storage level.
- the conveying device for conveying the ammunition bodies is at least one ne, in particular three, rotatable worm rolls.
- Ammunition bodies can also be moved back and forth between two adjacent Hal tevoriquesen via a screw roller.
- the screw roller can have a corkscrew-like screw guide which, when rotated, moves the ammunition bodies linearly in the storage direction or in the removal direction.
- three screw rollers have been found to be advantageous, one in the front part, one in the middle part and one in the rear part of the ammunition body or the Hal device can be arranged.
- the screw roller extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holding device.
- the ammunition bodies can be conveyed in a storage level via just one screw roller.
- several, in particular three, screw rollers are provided which are each arranged in parallel and which extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holding devices of the plane. If the conveying device has a conveying wave, the required number of conveying waves depends on the number of holding devices.
- the terms longitudinal axis and axis of rotation are used synonymously.
- the number of conveying shafts per level can match the number of Hal t devices per level, since a conveying shaft can be arranged between the adjacent holding devices of a level and additionally between the floor lift and the first holding device.
- the screw rollers cannot be coupled to the number of holding devices. Because the number of holding devices provided only has an influence on the length of the screw rollers, but not on the number. In this respect, the number of screw rollers can be independent of the number of holding devices. In terms of construction, it has also been found to be advantageous if the screw roller has a constriction for the holding device. The constriction enables the vertical distance between the worm roller and the ammunition bodies held in the holding device to be reduced, which allows reliable transport.
- the screw roller can rotate and the holding device cannot prevent a corresponding rotation. It is advantageous if the screw roller has a constriction for each holding device of the respective storage level.
- the constriction and the worm guide can be arranged alternately one behind the other, so that a constriction is provided in the region of the holding devices and a worm guide is provided between the holding devices for conveying the ammunition bodies.
- the screw rollers can each have a drive wheel via which the screw rollers can be rotated for conveying the ammunition bodies. It is advantageous if the screw rollers of a conveying device can be driven via a plane drive so that the screw rollers of a conveying device rotate synchronously.
- the drive wheels of the individual screw rollers can be coupled to one another or to the plane drive, for example via chains or belts. Analogous to the drive of the conveyor shafts, only one drive per conveyor device has to be provided.
- the magazine has guide rails for guiding the ammunition body from the holding device to the conveying device. Reliable transfer of the ammunition bodies from a holding device to the conveying device and vice versa can be ensured via the guide rails.
- the guide rails can be above and below each storage level be arranged so that the ammunition bodies are each guided between two guide rails.
- the transport wheels in particular the transport wheels engaging in the middle of the ammunition body, can be designed as double wheels and encompass the guide rails on both sides.
- the guide rail can have a bore through which the struts of the transport unit can extend.
- the guide rail can be designed as a slide rail and made of a slidable material.
- a push-out device for example in the form of a thrust ram, a rigid-backed chain or a driver is seen before.
- the push-out device can serve to push out an ammunition body in the removal position from the projectile lift, for example in the direction of the vehicle interior.
- the vehicle can have a vehicle pan and a tower that is rotatably mounted with respect to the pan.
- the tower can have a large-caliber weapon with which the ammunition bodies can be fired.
- the magazine can be arranged in the vehicle hull or in the tower.
- the removal space is smaller than the magazine and this can have about the size of an ammunition body.
- a free space can be provided in addition to the removal space which is not required for removing the ammunition bodies.
- the free space can extend around the removal space and up to the walls of the tub or the tower.
- the free area can be located above and below as well as to the left and right of the removal space or the ammunition body. Since the free area is not required for removing the ammunition body, this area can be used for other purposes, for example for stowing items of equipment.
- This embodiment also represents, for example, a significant difference to rack magazines, in which a removal space for removing the ammunition bodies must be provided in front of the entire magazine and, in this respect, a separate removal position is also provided for each ammunition body.
- the method is characterized in that the ammunition bodies are conveyed by a conveying device from a holding device to a neighboring holding device.
- a conveying device from a holding device to a neighboring holding device.
- individual ammunition bodies are moved back and forth between the various storage locations independently of the other ammunition bodies. It is not necessary to take along all the ammunition bodies and holding devices, but rather an ammunition body is selected and this is then transported independently of the other ammunition bodies from one holding device to an adjacent holding device.
- To store the ammunition bodies in the magazine they are moved in a storage direction from Hal tevorraum to holding device until they are in their final position in Magazine.
- the final location or the final storage location corresponds to the storage location at which the ammunition body remains for a longer period of time after storage and which is not only passed through.
- To remove the ammunition body from the magazine they are moved in the opposite direction to the Ge shot lift. This then spends the ammunition in an Ent removal position in which the ammunition can be removed from the magazine.
- a Ge shot lift is proposed with a holding device which is designed in the manner described above.
- the advantages already described with regard to the holding device result.
- the projectile lift can be part of the magazine described above.
- the projectile lift can have a receptacle for receiving an ammunition body and a holding device for holding the ammunition body, the holding device being able to lift the ammunition body vertically from the receptacle.
- the holding device By lifting the ammunition body, it is not necessary that the se must be ejected from the side of the receiving shell, but the ammunition body can be pushed onto the receiving shell and then turn gripped by the holding device, for which purpose the holding device can be transferred from a gripping position to a holding position.
- the holding device can then be raised vertically together with the ammunition body and then brought into a transfer position in which the ammunition body can be thrown out of the holding device and fed to the corresponding storage level.
- the receiving shell it has been found to be advantageous if the ammunition bodies can be pushed onto the receiving shell in the longitudinal direction.
- the receiving shell can be open at the front and rear ends, so that ammunition bodies can be pushed onto the receiving shell from behind and pushed out of the receiving shell forwards.
- the receiving shell can in this respect serve as a linear guide for the ammunition body, so that these are held securely in the receiving shell and cannot be pushed out of the receiving shell from the side.
- the receiving shell can be cylindrical segment-shaped and the inner diameter of the receiving shell can be adapted to the largest diameter of the ammunition body. Usually this will be the diameter at the lower end of the ammunition body. This enables safe guidance of the ammunition body in the receiving shell.
- the longitudinal axis of the ammunition body corresponds when it is on the receiving shell, the longitudinal axis or the cylinder axis of the receiving shell.
- the receiving shell can be longer than the ammunition body so that these do not protrude from the receiving shell.
- the receiving shell can have essentially the same length as the holding device or as the holding shells of the holding device. It has also been found to be advantageous if the Haltevorrich device and the receiving shell are arranged parallel to one another. This configuration ensures that an ammunition body located on the receiving shell can be reliably gripped and lifted off the holding device. The ammunition body does not have to be rotated or pivoted for this. At the same time, it is also ensured that the ammunition body can be placed on the receiving shell in order to then, for example, be able to move into a removal position in which the ammunition body can be pushed out of the magazine.
- the holding device can have an axis of rotation and the axis of rotation can be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the receiving shell.
- the holding device can be moved in the vertical direction relative to the receiving shell.
- This embodiment makes it possible that the distance between the holding device and the receiving shell is not constant, but rather the holding device can move towards the receiving shell, for example in order to receive and lift an ammunition body from the receiving shell.
- the holding device can lift the mu nition bodies like a gripper from the receiving shell and place them on the receiving shell. Due to the gripper-like configuration, the holding device can lift an ammunition body upwards out of or from the receiving shell and it is not necessary that the ammunition body can also be pushed onto the holding device. The actual movement of the ammunition bodies between the storage levels can thus be taken over by the holding device and the receiving tray enables the ammunition bodies to be pushed into the projectile lift. From a structural point of view, it has been found to be advantageous if the receiving shell has one, in particular two, recesses. One, in particular two, floor supports can be provided, which can be arranged, for example, on the floor of the floor lift or the magazine.
- the projectile support When the receiving tray is in the lowest storage level, the projectile support can extend through the recesses and hold part of the ammunition body.
- the design and position of the projectile support can be adapted to the contour of the ammunition body. This is because this is usually narrower in the front area than in the rear area, so that the projectile support can support the ammunition body, especially in the front area. In this respect, the projectile support can also ensure that the holding device reliably encompasses the ammunition body and can then lift it off the receiving shell.
- the holding device can be moved up and down via the linear drive and moved to every storage level.
- the linear drive enables precise position control of the holding device, so that the ammunition bodies can be reliably lifted from the receiving shell or placed on it and the various storage levels can be approached precisely.
- two linear drives are provided, wherein one linear drive can be arranged on one side of the holding device and the other linear drive can be arranged on the other side of the holding device.
- These two linear drives ensure that the holding device remains as straight as possible during a vertical movement, so that the ammunition body cannot move unintentionally due to a misalignment.
- the weight of the ammunition body located in the holding device are evenly distributed by two linear drives. It is advantageous if one linear drive is arranged at one end region of the holding device and the other linear drive is arranged at the other end region. The holding device can then extend between the two linear drives.
- the linear output it has been found to be advantageous if it has at least one, in particular two, rotatable threaded spindles which move the holding device in the vertical direction when rotated.
- the position of the holding device can be controlled very precisely.
- the movement of the holding device can be dependent on the direction of rotation of the threaded spindle, for example the holding shell can be moved upwards when the threaded spindle is rotated clockwise and downwards when the threaded spindle is rotated counterclockwise.
- the forces acting can be evenly distributed using two threaded spindles, which improves the overall stability of the bullet lift.
- the threaded spindles are arranged parallel to one another and extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition body or perpendicular to the holding device. Furthermore, it is advantageous if both linear drives each have two threaded spindles, so that the holding device can be moved up and down by four threaded spindles. This ensures a particularly uniform support of the holding device.
- the threaded spindles of a linear guide can be rotatably mounted in a bearing rail at the lower end, so that they do not move, but rather retain a fixed position even when rotated. Also at the upper end of the threaded spindles, on which the lifting motor and the gear can be arranged, the two threaded spindles can a corresponding bearing rail can be connected to one another.
- the linear drive can then have a rectangular shape.
- the linear drive has a guide element which is arranged in the manner of a spindle nut on the threaded spindle del.
- the guide element can be moved up and down by turning the threaded spindle.
- the guide element can be connected to the holding device, in particular the holding device is rotatably mounted in or on the guide element.
- the guide element can be arranged on both threaded spindles of a linear drive and to this extent connect the two threaded spindles with one another.
- the guide element can have two threaded bores through which the two threaded spindles can extend, the threads being able to mesh with one another in such a way that the guide element can be moved in the vertical direction. It is advantageous if two guide elements are seen before, one for each linear drive.
- the holding device can then be rotatably mounted on both sides in or on a guide element.
- a lifting motor which can drive the threaded spindle del, in particular both threaded spindles of a linear drive, via a transmission.
- the lifting motor can be arranged at the upper end of the linear drive so that it does not hinder the movement of the holding device.
- the lifting motor can be connected to both threaded spindles of a linear drive via a gear so that the two threaded spindles always rotate synchronously. This prevents the guide element from jamming due to uneven rotation of the threaded spindles. With two linear drives, a separate lifting motor can be seen for each linear drive.
- Both lifting motors can be coupled to one another, in particular via a corresponding control, so that all four Ge threaded spindles rotate synchronously.
- the receiving meschale is movable in the vertical direction.
- ammunition bodies can be pushed onto the receiving shell in different levels and pushed out of the receiving shell again in different levels. For example, it may be desirable to ammunition the ammunition depot in the lowest level and to remove the ammunition bodies in a higher level.
- the receiving shell can then be moved to the desired ammunition position and the ammunition bodies can then be lifted off the receiving shell via the holding device and then stored. If an ammunition body is to be removed from the magazine, it can be placed on the receiving tray by the holding device.
- the receiving tray can then be moved into the removal position and the ammunition body can be pushed out at the desired location.
- the movement of the receiving shell thus allows variable ammunition loading and removal of ammunition bodies in different planes.
- the storey lift can therefore also be used for existing magazines and vehicles and also serve as a retrofit solution.
- the receiving shell and the holding device are coupled to one another in such a way that the receiving shell can be moved together with the holding device when the holding device is within or above a boundary plane det.
- the boundary level is the second storage level. The storage levels are counted from below, with the lowest level corresponding to the first level. If the holding device is, for example, moved upwards and thereby exceeds the limit plane, the receiving tray is moved accordingly. The hold direction and the receiving shell are then coupled and they move in the same direction with the same distance in the vertical direction.
- both the receiving device and the holding device can be moved into the lowest storage level.
- the holding device can be moved below the boundary plane independently of the receiving tray.
- the receiving tray can be in the lowest level when the holding device is in the boundary plane.
- the receiving tray can be located below the holding device at a distance of the boundary plane from the lowest level. If the second storage level is concerned with the boundary level, the distance between the receiving tray and the holding device is then the distance between the boundary level and the lowest storage level.
- the receiving shell is coupled to the holding device via a linear guide. Due to the linear guide, the receiving shell can be moved in the vertical direction together with the holding shell via the linear drive.
- the mounting bracket does not need its own drive, but is moved by the lifting motor or the lifting motors of the linear drives.
- the linear guide can be designed as a vertical strut which can extend parallel to the threaded spindle del. It is advantageous if two, in particular four, linear guides are provided so that the receiving tray can be safely moved in the vertical direction, even if there is an ammunition body on it. by rests. Two of the four linear guides can be connected to one end area of the receiving shell.
- the guide element can slide over the linear guide so that the receiving shell is not moved along with it.
- the linear guide it is proposed that it have a stop which limits a movement of the holding device with respect to the receiving shell.
- the stop can be arranged at the upper end of the linear guide and ensure that the guide element takes the receiving shell with it.
- the guide element In the event of a vertical upward movement, the guide element can strike the stop, so that in the event of a further movement the receiving shell is moved along with the guide element or the holding device.
- the stop can hit the guide element when the Haltevor direction is in the boundary plane.
- the distance of the stop from the receiving shell or the length of the linear guide can be dimensioned such that the distance between the receiving shell and the holding device corresponds to the distance between the lowest storage level and the boundary plane. If, for example, the second level is the boundary level, the linear guide can be so long that the distance between the holding device and the receiving tray corresponds to a storage level. It is also proposed that the receiving tray is suspended on the holding device in a linearly movable manner. The receiving shell can be suspended from the holding device via the guide element. Although the linear guide can be rigid struts, they can basically act like ropes. Because if the receiving trays have not yet reached the lowest storage level, the receiving tray can move in the same direction as the holding device. If the holding device reaches the boundary plane and the receiving tray reaches the lowest storage level, the holding device can be moved further down and then, for example, lift an ammunition body from the receiving tray.
- the holding device it turned out to be advantageous if it has two holding shells which are rotatably connected to one another at one end via a gear and at the other end via a pivot bearing.
- the pivot bearing can be mounted in a guide element or the pivot bearing can be part of the guide element, so that the two holding shells can be rotatable relative to the guide element.
- the opposite side of the holding shells can be mounted in another guide element, so that the holding device is then arranged between the two guide elements and can be rotated relative to them.
- the holding device it turned out to be advantageous if it can be moved into a holding position, a transfer position and a gripping position.
- an ammunition body In the holding position, an ammunition body can be secured in the holding device and can be moved in the vertical direction together with the holding device.
- the holding device In the gripping position, the holding device can be moved from above onto an ammunition body located on the receiving shell, so that the holding device engages around the ammunition body at least in sections. Will the holding device then move into the holding position, the ammunition body is secured in the holding device and can then be lifted from the receiving shell.
- an ammunition body in particular laterally, can be ejected from the holding device and then, for example, fed to a holding place of a magazine.

- the magazine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used to store ammunition bodies 100 lying down, in particular in the form of 120 mm cartridges, and can be used in a military vehicle 200, for example.
- the magazine 1 can, for example, be equipped with ammunition bodies 100 before use and, during use, the individual ammunition bodies 100 can first be brought into a removal position P, removed one after the other from the magazine 1, the weapon 203 of the Vehicle 200 are fed and then fired.
- the magazine 1 has a total of 24 storage locations 3 for storing the ammunition bodies 1, with an ammunition body 100 being able to be stored at each storage location 3. Furthermore, an ammunition body 100 can also be additionally received in the projectile lift 7, so that the magazine 1 has a total capacity of 25 ammunition bodies 100.
- a holding device 4 is assigned to each storage location 3, so that the individual ammunition bodies 100 are securely held at each storage location 3 and cannot slip.
- the magazine 1 has two base plates 1.1, 1.2 which are arranged parallel to one another and which are arranged at a distance from one another via a plurality of rods 1.3.
- the base plates 1.1, 1.2 each have a hole pattern 1.4 so that the halves device 4 mounted between the two base plate 1.1, 1.2 who can.
- a floor lift 7 is arranged, which divides the magazine 1 into two different storage areas 2.
- the right storage area 2 in FIG. 1 is not equipped with holding devices 4, so that the hole pattern 1.4 of the base plates 1.1, 1.2 can be seen.
- the holding devices 4 are also partly not shown, as can also be seen in FIG. 2. In this illustration, only the right storage area 2 and the floor lift 7 can be seen and the front base plate 1.2 is not shown.
- the individual storage locations 3 are arranged in three storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 arranged one above the other.
- the storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 of each storage area 2 have four storage spaces 3 arranged next to one another and therefore also four holding devices 4 arranged next to one another.
- the storage locations 3 of the various storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 are arranged one above the other in such a way that the holding devices or ammunition bodies 100 are arranged in a matrix-like manner.
- the ammunition bodies 100 are introduced into the projectile lift 7 one after the other.
- the ammunition body 100 is then moved by the projectile elevator 7 to the correct storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
- the ammunition body 100 is then transported from the projectile elevator 7 to the first storage space 3 of the corresponding storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and then moved in the storage direction E until the ammunition tion body 100 has reached its final storage space 3.
- the conveyance of the ammunition bodies 100 from the projectile elevator 7 to the first storage area 3 and then to the further storage areas 3 will be explained in more detail below.
- the first ammunition body 100 After it has been conveyed by the projectile elevator 7 to the first storage space 3 of the corresponding storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, is moved three storage spaces 3 in the storage direction E until it has the outermost one Has reached storage space 3. During this transport, the ammunition body 3 thus passes through all of the storage spaces 3 of the respective storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or the respective storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 of one of the two ammunition areas 2 between the projectile lift 7 and the final storage area 3.
- the next ammunition body 100 then has to be conveyed on from the first storage location 3 of the corresponding storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 only two storage locations 3 until it has reached its final storage location 3.
- the other storage spaces 3 of the magazine 1 are then filled in an analogous manner.
- a conveying device 5 is provided for conveying the ammunition bodies 100 from the projectile elevator 7 to the first storage location 3 and for moving the ammunition bodies 100 between the individual storage locations 3 or the individual holding devices 4.
- the conveying device 5 is provided between the individual storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, so that at least two conveying devices 5 are provided on each storage side 2.
- the conveying devices 5 have several conveying shafts 5.1, which are rotatably mounted between the two base plates 1.1, 1.2 of the magazine. These conveying waves 5.1 can be seen in FIG. 5, for example.
- the conveying shafts 5.1 extend parallel to the lying ammunition bodies 100 and each have a plurality of conveying wheels 5.2, 5.3 designed as star wheels which, when rotated, ensure that the ammunition bodies 100 from one Storage area 3 can be transported to an adjacent storage area 3.
- the conveying shafts 5.1 each have two conveying wheels 5.2, 5.3, the first conveying wheel 5.2 being larger than the second conveying wheel 5.3, which is related to the contour of the ammunition body 100. This is because the ammunition bodies 100 have a larger diameter in the rear area than in the central area, which can also be seen in FIG. 10, for example.
- the two transport wheels 5.2, 5.3 are attached to a strut 5.4, so that when the strut 5.4 is rotated, the two transport wheels 5.2, 5.3 rotate in the same direction.
- the ammunition bodies 100 are first brought out of the holding device 4 onto the conveying wheels 5.2, 5.3.
- the Housingswel len 5.1 starting from the position in FIG. 5, are initially rotated by approximately 45 degrees in the direction of the ammunition body 100 to be moved.
- the holding device 4 is then transferred to a transfer position Ü, which allows the ammunition body 100 to be removed.
- Ü transfer position
- the conveying shaft 5.1 When the ammunition body 100 then rests on the conveying shaft 5.1 or on the conveying edges 5.2, 5.3, the conveying shaft 5.1 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees in the direction of the adjacent holding device 4 and can then be picked up by the corresponding holding device 4. In order to then further convey the ammunition body, the process is continued accordingly and the ammunition body 100 is transferred to the next conveying shaft 5.1.
- the corresponding conveying shafts 5.1 are arranged above or below holding devices 4 and between two adjacent holding devices 4, as can be seen in FIG. 3, for example. Furthermore, it can be seen in FIG. 3 that conveying devices 5 are only provided between loading levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
- the lower conveying device 5 is therefore responsible both for conveying the ammunition bodies 100 in the lowest storage level 2.1 and for those in the middle storage level 2.2. If, for example, an ammunition body 100 is to be moved in the lowest storage level 2.1 according to the illustration in FIG. 3 in the storage direction E, i.e. from right to left, the conveying shafts 5.1 must rotate clockwise above the lower storage level 2.1. If the same transport shafts 5.1 are to move ammunition bodies 100 of the middle storage level 2.2 accordingly, the transport shafts 5.1 must be rotated counterclockwise.
- a conveying device 5 is provided both below and above the middle storage level 2.2, the ammunition bodies 100 of the middle storage level 2.2 are conveyed by both conveying devices 5.
- the conveying shafts 5.1 arranged above the middle storage level 2.2 must rotate clockwise and the conveying shafts 5.1 arranged below the middle storage level 2.2 counterclockwise.
- a transport shaft 5.1 is also arranged between the first holding device 4 and the projectile lift 7, so that the ammunition bodies 100 can be moved from the ammunition lift 7 as well as to the ammunition lift 7.
- the number of conveying waves 5.1 per conveying device 5 thus corresponds to the number of holding devices 4 or the number of storage spaces 3 per storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 of each storage area 2. As can be seen in FIG. 3, four conveying shafts 5.1 per conveying device 5 are therefore also provided for the four holding devices 4.
- Each transport wheel 5.2, 5.3 has four concave receiving contours 5.21, 5.31, which are arranged ver sets by 90 degrees to each other.
- the curvature or the design of the receiving contours 5.21, 5.31 is adapted to the ammunition bodies 100, so that they lie as securely as possible in the corresponding receiving contours 5.21, 5.31 during transport.
- a conveying device 5 thus has twice as many conveying shafts 5.1 as holding devices 5 are provided in a storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
- the ammunition bodies 100 are better guided by twice the number of conveying shafts 5.1 and are passed approximately halfway between the two holding devices 4 from one conveying shaft 5.1 to the other conveying shaft 5.1.
- each transport shaft 5.1 has a drive wheel 5.5 at one end.
- all loading shafts 5.1 of a conveying device 5 are connected to a common plane drive 6 via a coupling element 5.6 designed as a belt.
- the conveying shafts 5.1 of a conveying device 5 thus all rotate synchronously when an ammunition body 100 is transported from a holding device 4 to an adjacent holding device 4.
- guide rails 8 are also provided, which also ensure that the ammunition bodies 100 can only be moved in the storage direction E or in the removal direction A during transport, but not, for example, perpendicular thereto.
- the guide rails 8 are above and below each Storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 arranged and extend We sentlichen perpendicular to the ammunition bodies 100 or perpendicular to the transport shafts 5.1.
- the guide rails 5.8 which are arranged between two storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, the struts 4.5 of the respective loading conveyor shafts 5.1 stretch through the guide rails 5.8 and the guide rails 8 are arranged at the level of the drive wheels 5.2, 5.3.
- the drive wheels 5.2, 5.3 can each be designed as double wheels and encompass the guide rails 5.8.
- the guide rails 5.8 which are not arranged in the roof area or in the floor area can be fixed in a fixed position. So that the guide rails 5.8 do not hinder a movement of the holding device 4 from the transfer position Ü and the holding position H, the holding rails 5.8 can have a rounded portion in the corresponding areas, which is shown, for example, in FIG. 5 and also in FIG can be seen.
- the conveying devices 5 can have one or more screw rollers 5.7 instead of the conveying shafts 5.1.
- This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
- the conveyor 5 has three parallel screw rollers 5.7 of different sizes or different diameters, one screw roller 5.7 in the middle, one in the rear and one in the front of the ammunition body 100 is arranged.
- the screw rollers 5.7 do not extend parallel to the longitudinal axes of the ammunition bodies 100, but rather parallel to them. Accordingly, the screw rollers 5.7 are not rotatably mounted in the base plates 1.1, 1.2, but in corresponding rails that extend between the two base plates 1.1, 1.2. As This can be seen in FIG. 9, therefore, not all holes of the hole pattern 1.4 are required, in particular not the holes in which the conveyor shafts 5.1 are rotatably mounted.
- the screw rollers 5.7 alternately have constrictions 5.72 and screw guides 5.71.
- the screw guides 5.71 serve, quite analogously to the conveying shafts 5.1, to transport the ammunition bodies 100 from one holding device 4 to the next holding device 4 and are arranged accordingly between the holding devices 4.
- the screw guides 5.71 are designed in such a way that the ammunition bodies 100 are guided in them and a rotational movement of the screw rollers 5.7 leads to a linear movement of the ammunition bodies 100 in the storage direction E or in the removal direction A, depending on the direction of rotation of the screw roller 5.7. This becomes clear, for example, on the basis of FIG. 8, in which the transport of an ammunition body 100 between the two right holding devices 4 is shown.
- the constrictions 5.71 are arranged in the area of the holding devices 4 and ensure that the holding devices 4 can be moved back and forth between the holding position H and the transfer position Ü.
- the constrictions 5.71 also serve to enable the screw roller 5.7 to come closer to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition bodies 100, which enables the ammunition bodies 100 to be transported safely, as can also be seen in the illustration in FIG.
- the screw rollers 5.7 of a conveying device 5 In order to move the ammunition bodies 100 in a storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, the screw rollers 5.7 of a conveying device 5 must be rotated synchronously.
- the screw rollers 5.7 each have a drive wheel 5.5, which are coupled to one another via one or more coupling elements 5.6 and can be rotated via a plane drive 6.
- the positioning of the magazine 1 in the vehicle 200 and the resulting space conditions should first be explained with reference to FIGS. 18a and 18b.
- the vehicle 200 has a vehicle hull 201 and a turret 202 with a large-caliber weapon 203, which is rotatably mounted with respect to the hull.
- the magazine 1 is arranged in the rear region of the tower 202 and the ammunition bodies 100 are pushed out of the magazine 1 in the direction of the weapon 203 and then fed to the weapon 203.
- the supply of the ammunition body 100 from the magazine 1 to the weapon 203 can be done manually by a loader but also, for example, automatically by a corresponding de loading device.
- the ammunition bodies still located in the magazine 1 can be recognized by 100.
- the removed ammunition body 100 was, as already described above, first transported from its storage space 3 to the projectile elevator 7 and then brought into the middle storage level 2.2, in which the ammunition body 100 can be pushed out of the magazine 1. Since when removing all ammunition bodies 100 located in the magazine 1 correspond initially to the removal position P and only then can be removed or pushed out, little space is required in the area between the magazine 1 and the weapon 203. This can also be seen in the figures. Because behind the magazine 1 in the removal position P, i.e.
- the holding device 4 is shown in a perspective side view and in a holding position H.
- the holding device 4 consists essentially of two holding shells 4.2, 4.3, which are rotatably coupled to one another at a front end area 4.22 via a pivot bearing 4.6 and at a rear end area 4.21 via a holding shell drive mechanism 4.9.
- the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are opposite one another in such a way that an ammunition body 100 is positively received in the holding area 4.10 located between the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 and cannot be removed from the holding device 4. This is also shown, for example, in FIG. 13g.
- the holding device 4 In order to remove the ammunition body 100 from the holding device 4, it is necessary to move the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 relative to one another and to rotate them about the axis of rotation D.
- the movement of the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 can be seen, for example, on the basis of FIG. In the right position of FIG. 14, the holding device 4 or the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 is in the holding position H.
- the upper holding shell 4.2 is counterclockwise and the lower holding shell 4.3 rotated clockwise about the axis of rotation D until the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 bear against each other, as can be seen in the left illustration of FIG.
- the upper holding shell 4.2 and the lower holding shell 4.3 are each designed as cylinder segments and have different segment angles x1, x2.
- the lower holding shell 4.3 is larger than the upper holding shell 4.2 and has a larger segment angle x2, so that the force or the weight of the ammunition body 100 is distributed over a larger area.
- the holding shell 4.2 which has the smaller segment angle x1, only has to absorb a comparatively small force and is primarily used to secure the ammunition bodies 100 in the lower holding shell 4.3.
- the sum of the segment angles x1, x2 is approx. 180 degrees, as shown in the left illustration in FIG recognize is. If the sum of the segment angles were greater than 180 degrees, a Mu nition body 100, even if the two holding shells 4.2. 4.3 are in contact with one another and cannot be removed from the holding device 4. On the other hand, if the sum of the segment angles x1, x2 were significantly smaller than 180 degrees, the strength of the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 would be reduced.
- the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are adapted to the contour of the ammunition body 100.
- the distance between the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 from the axis of rotation D, which at the same time also corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the ammunition bodies 100, is greater in the rear end area 4.21 than in the front end area 4.22, as is the case with the ammunition bodies 100.
- the lower holding shell 4.3 has an ejector device designed as an ejector pawl 4.7, which is designed as a passive spring.
- the ejector pawl 4.7 When bringing an ammunition body 100, the ejector pawl 4.7 is tensioned by the weight of the ammunition body 100.
- the ejector pawl 4.7 ensures that the ammunition body 100 is automatically ejected from the holding device 4.
- FIG. 8 it can be seen, for example, that the two right holding shells 4 are in the transfer position Ü.
- the ammunition body 100 was initially found in the right holding device 4 and was held by this at the corresponding storage location 3.
- the holding device 4 In order to move the ammunition body 100 to the projectile lift 7 for removal from the magazine 1, the holding device 4 was first transferred from the holding position H to the transfer position Ü.
- the ammunition body 100 is moved by the ejector pawl 4.7 to the conveying device 5, which then conveys the ammunition body 100 to the adjacent holding device 4.
- this holding shell 4 is also in the transfer position U, as can be seen in FIG. 8.
- the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 of the holding device 4 are transferred into the holding position H.
- the upper holding shell 4.2 is rotated clockwise about the axis of rotation D and the lower holding shell 4.3 counterclockwise.
- the holding device 4 remains in the holding position H. If the ammunition body 100 is to be transported further into the storage position A, the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are rotated further about the axis of rotation D until it is at the other side of the ammunition body 100 rest against one another. The stel development of the holding device 4 then corresponds to that of the right holding device 4 of FIG. 8 and the ammunition body 100 can be moved further in device A Auslagerrich.
- the holding shell drive mechanism 4.9 has a holding shell drive 4.4 in the form of a motor and a gear 4.5.
- the gear 4.5 is designed in such a way that both halves 4.2, 4.3 can be moved via just one motor.
- the structure of the gearbox 4.5 can be seen in FIG.
- the gear 4.5 is designed as a planetary gear and has an outer ring gear 4.52, an inner sun rim 4.51 and three planet gears 4.53 which mesh with the ring gear 4.52 and the sun gear 4.51.
- the three planet wheels of 4.53 are connected to one another via a web 4.54 and ensure that the ring gear 4.52 and the sun gear 4.51 rotate in opposite directions.
- the sun gear 4.51 rotates clockwise
- the ring gear 4.52 rotates counterclockwise, but around the same axis of rotation D.
- the ring gear 4.52 is connected to the upper holding shell 4.2 and the sun gear 4.51 is connected to the lower holding shell 4.3, so that Both holding shells 4.2, 4.3 can be rotated around the axis of rotation D in the opposite direction by a single holding shell drive 4.4 connected to the edge of the sun 4.51.
- FIG. 17 shows the Holding shell drive 4.4 is not shown, but both drives 4.4, 4.8 are shown, for example, in FIG. 1 or 2.
- the rotary drive 4.8 drives a ring gear 4.55 to which the web 4.54 is attached. Via the rotary drive 4.8, the entire gear 4.5 and also the holding shells drive 4.4 are rotated about the axis of rotation D without the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 moving relative to one another. In order to move the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 into their desired position as quickly as possible, both drives 4.4, 4.8 can be actuated simultaneously.
- the rotary drive 4.8 is primarily required for the projectile lift 7 described below, since the holding device 4 or the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 can also be rotated into a gripping position G via this. For this reason, no rotary drive 4.8 is seen in the holding devices 4 of the various storage places 3 of the magazine 1 and the respective holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are only rotatable relative to one another via the holding shell drive 4.4.
- I .4 can be seen on the outside of the base plate 1.2, so that the ring gear 4.52, for example, can be received in the base plate 1.2 and does not protrude from the base plate 1.2.
- the pivot bearings 4.6 are inserted into the base plate 1.1, so that the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are also rotatably mounted on this base plate 1.1.
- the holding shell drive mechanism 4.9 is arranged at the end of the Garvor device 4, which is used to receive the lower ends of the ammunition body 100.
- the holding shell drive 4.4 of the holding devices 4, which are assigned to the storage places 3 of the magazine 1 is arranged on the same side.
- the plane drives 6 for driving the conveying devices 5, however, are arranged on the other side of the magazine 1, so that the plane drives 6 and the holding shell drives 4.4 with regard to the magazine 1 are opposite one another.
- an ejection drive 4.11 is provided for this purpose, via which the ammunition bodies 100 can be ejected laterally and basically also independently of gravity from the holding rollers 4.2, 4.3.
- the lower bracket 4.3 is equipped with several ejector pawls 4.71, 4.72, namely in the front Be rich with two front ejector pawls 4.71 and in the rear with a rear ejector pawl 4.72.

- the right and left pawl links of the front exit Ejection pawls 4.71 are each connected to a front ejection pinion 4.15 via a rod not shown in the figure.
- the connected pawl members of the ejector pawls 4.71 also rotate accordingly.
- the pawl members of the rear ejector pawl 4.72 are connected in a corresponding manner to the two rear ejector pinions 4.14 to be seen in FIG. 19a and can be moved via them.
- the respective ejection sprockets 4.15, 4.14 of the ejection drives 4.11 must be rotated, namely either the front and rear right ejection pinions 4.14, 4.15 or the front and rear left ejection pinions 4.14, 4.15.
- the upper holding shell 4.2 is connected in the front and rear end areas 4.22, 4.21 to a toothed segment 4.12, 4.13, which can be rotated about the axis of rotation D together with the holding shell 4.2. If the upper holding shell is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 19a, the toothed segments 4.12, 4.13 are moved towards the right ejection pinions 4.14, 4.15. As long as the toothed segments 4.12, 4.13 have not yet reached the ejection pinions 4.14, 4.15, they do not move yet.
- the toothed segments 4.12, 4.13 engage with the ejection ritzein 4.14, 4.15.
- the distance between the two holding shells 4.1, 4.2 at the start of the intervention is approximately 22 degrees. In this last pivoting range of the holding shells 4.1, 4.2, before they rest against one another, the tooth segments 4.12, 4.13 then rotate the drive pinions 4.14, 4.15 counterclockwise.
- the holding shells 4.1, 4.2 are rotated accordingly in the opposite direction and the toothed segments 4.12, 4.13 then drive the other drive pinions 4.14, 4.15 accordingly.
- the left pawl members are then actuated and these push the ammunition body 100 to the right out of the holding area 4.10. Due to the forced coupling described, no additional motor is required to eject the ammunition bodies 100, but the ammunition bodies 100 can be automatically ejected via the basically purely passive ejection drive 4.11 when the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are in the corresponding position, e.g. the transfer position Have achieved.
- the ejector pawls 4.7 shown in FIG 4.71, 4.72 according to FIGS. 19a, 19b push the ammunition bodies 100 rather laterally out of the holding rollers 4.1, 4.2.
- the ejector pawls 4.71, 4.72 can therefore also be opposite the holding shell 4.3 protrude and contribute to a secure lateral support of the mu nition body 100 in the holding shell 4.3.
- the projectile lift 7 is arranged in the middle of the magazine 1 and divides the magazine 1 into two storage areas 2, each of which has 12 storage spaces 3 for the ammunition bodies 100. These storage spaces 3 are divided into three storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 arranged one above the other, each with four storage spaces 3.
- the individual storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 can be equipped with ammunition bodies 100 via the projectile elevator 7, or ammunition bodies 100 can be brought from the storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 to the removal position P, at which the ammunition bodies 100 are removed or removed from the magazine 1. at which the ammunition bodies 100 can be conveyed out of the magazine 1.
- the projectile lift 7 is shown in a perspective illustration isolated from the magazine 1.
- the bullet lift 7 has a receiving shell 7.1 that can be moved in the vertical direction and a holding device 4 that can also be moved in the vertical direction.
- the holding device 4 used in the bullet lift 7 is the same holding device 4 that is also used to hold the ammunition bodies 100 the storage places 3 is used and which has already been described above.
- the floor lift 7 also has two linear drives 7.2, via which the holding device 4 can be moved in the vertical direction.
- Each of the two linear drives 7.2 has two threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 which are rotatably mounted at their lower end in a bearing rail 7.25 and which are parallel to one another in the vertical direction and perpendicular to the axis of rotation D of the holding device 4 or the longitudinal axis of the ammunition body 100 extend.
- a guide approximately element 7.6 is provided, which is arranged in the manner of a spindle nut on the two threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 of the linear drive 7.2. When the two threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 rotate uniformly, the guide element 7.6 can thus be moved up and down in the vertical direction.
- the holding device 4 is mounted on the guide element 7.6, so that the holding device 4 can be moved accordingly via the guide element 7.6.
- it is connected to a corresponding guide element 7.6 in both the front end area 4.21 and the rear end area 4.22, which can be moved by means of a linear drive 7.2.
- the weight of an ammunition body 100 can thus be supported via two linear drives 7.2 or, correspondingly, via four threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22.
- the bearing rail 7.25 can be connected to a base plate 1.1, 1.2 of the magazine 1 and the threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 can also be connected to the magazine 1 in a rotatable manner be. In this way, the forces generated by the absorption of an ammunition body 100 can be safely absorbed.
- each linear guide 7.2 has a stroke motor 7.23, which is connected to the two threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 via a gear 7.24, so that the two threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22 rotate accordingly synchronously.
- the respective lifting motors 7.23 of the two linear drives 7.2 are also controlled at the same time. ert, so that there is a synchronous rotary movement of all four thread spindles 7.21, 7.22.
- the receiving shell 7.1 cannot be moved directly in the vertical direction via the linear drives 7.2, the receiving shell 7.1 is coupled to the holding device 4 or to the linear guide 7.3.
- the Koppe treatment is dependent on the position or in which Before ratungs level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 of the magazine 1, the holding device 4 is found. If the holding device 4 is in or above a boundary plane 2.2, the receiving shell 7.1 is gekop pelt with the holding device 4 and can be moved together with this in the vertical direction. However, if the holding device 4 has been moved below the boundary plane 2.2, the coupling is released and the holding device 4 can then be moved independently of the receiving shell 7.1.
- the middle storage level 2.2 represents the boundary level 2.2, so that below this level the holding device 4 can be moved independently and thus also relative to the receiving tray 7.1 and above the middle storage level 2.2, the receiving tray 7.1 together with the holding device 4 is movable. This is explained in more detail below with reference to the various positions in FIG.
- Fig. 13a the Aufm unitionierposition M is shown, in which an ammunition body 100 can be inserted into the magazine 1 or pushed onto the receiving shell 7.1.
- the receiving tray 7.1 is located in the middle storage level 2.2 and the holding device in the upper storage level 2.3.
- the holding device 4 is then transferred from the holding position H to the transfer position Ü, as can be seen in FIG. 13c.
- the holding device 4 is then lowered by rotating the Ge threaded spindles 7.21, 7.22. This movement also moves the receiving tray 7.1 accordingly until it has reached the lower storage level 2.1.
- the receiving shell 7.1 is guided in the guide element 7.6 via a linear guide 7.3.
- stops 7.4 are provided, which ensure that the receiving tray 7.1 hangs on the holding device 4 or on the guide element 7.6 when the receiving tray 7.1 is located above the lowest storage level 2.1. It can also be seen in FIGS. 11 and 12 that the receiving shell 7.1 hangs under the holding device 4 and moves with it.
- the distance between the receiving tray 7.1 and the holding device 4 corresponds to the distance between the various storage levels 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
- the receiving tray 7.1 has reached the lowest storage level 2.1, it cannot be lowered any further, so that the holding device 4 then moves towards the receiving tray 7.1 with a wider lowering and the movements are no longer coupled.
- the guide element 7.6 then slides down the linear guides 7.3 of the receiving shell 7.1.
- the gripping position G basically corresponds to a transfer position U rotated by 90 degrees, as can also be seen when comparing FIG. 13c and the illustration on the left in FIG.
- the holding device 4 is then brought into the holding position H and the ammunition body 100 is encompassed by the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 of the holding device 4 in the manner of a gripper, so that it is then received in a form-fitting manner between the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 or in the holding area 4.10.
- the ammunition body 100 is lifted from the receiving shell 7.1 in the vertical direction.
- the holding device 4 can then be moved into the storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 in which the ammunition body 100 is to be stored.
- the guide element 7.6 then slides back up on the linear guide 7.3 until the end of the linear guide 7.3 is reached and the stops 7.4 prevent any further relative movement between the holding device 4 and the receiving shell 7.1.
- the stops 7.4 ensure that the receiving tray 7.1 is moved along with it, so that the holding device 4 and the receiving tray 7.1 then move in the same direction at a distance from a storage level 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 move up.
- the holding device 4 has gripped an ammunition body 100, lifted it from the receiving shell 7.1 and was then moved into the second storage level 2.2. If the captured ammunition body 100 is now to be stowed ver in the second storage level 2.2, the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are brought into the transfer position Ü and rotated together about the axis of rotation D via the rotary drive 4.8 until the position shown in Fig. 13h is reached.
- the ammunition body 100 can then be ejected from the holding device 4 and fed to the conveying device 5, which then conveys the ammunition body 100 to the first holding device 4 of the corresponding storage level 2.2.
- the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 it is achieved that the ammunition body 100 is not only ejected from the holding device 4 to the right can, but also to the left. For this the holding shells would have to
- the holding device 4 or the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 can be rotated in the manner described above and the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 in the projectile lift 7 can be rotated into the holding position H, the gripping position G and the transfer position Ü, it is necessary that Holding shells 4.2, 4.3 to rotate with respect to the guide elements 7.6.
- the holding shells 4.2, 4.3 are rotatably stored in the guide elements 7.6 so that the two holding shells 4.2, 4.3 can be rotated from the holding position H into the transfer position Ü via the holding shell drive 4.4 and from the transfer position Ü in via the rotary drive 4.8 the gripping position G. Since when the two holding shells are rotated together
- the Garvor device 4 is then moved in this gripping position G without the ammunition body 100 upwards.
- the ammunition body 100 remains on the receiving tray 7.1.
- the holding device 4 In order to convey the ammunition body 100 to the second storage level 2.2, in which it can be pushed out of the receiving tray 7.1 and then fed to the weapon, the holding device 4 must be moved into the top storage level 2.3. This can be seen in FIG. 12, for example.
- the ammunition body 100 can then be pushed out of the receiving shell 7.1 in this Entddlingpo position E, for example.
- a thrust punch not shown in the illustrations.
- the ammunition bodies 100 can also be used directly again pushed out of the receiving shell 7.1 and then fed to the weapon.
- the removal position E of the projectile lift 7 also corresponds exactly to the ammunition position M.
- the receiving shell 7.1 has two rectangular recesses 7.11.
- the two storey supports 7.5 can extend through these recesses 7.11 when the receiving tray 7.1 is in the lowest storage level 2.1. Since the ammunition bodies 100 are narrower in the front part than in the rear part, the projectile supports 7.5 serve this purpose, in particular these narrower ones to support the front part, since the ammunition body 100 can not rest fully on the cylindrical receiving shell 7.1 in this area.
