Description

| The present invention relates to a combat turret>

  especially for armored vehicle. Armored turrets generally

  have a particularly thick front and side armor for the protection of the crew station. As this particularly thick armor has a large weight, the volume of this armor should be kept as small as possible, so that the crew station should be reduced as much as possible. This reduction is, however, subject to limits, because the turret is not only the crew, which consists for example of three men, but all the essential devices for the operation of the turret, including electrical and electronic groups, power supply and a stock of ammunition. According to the invention, a substantial reduction of the particularly thick shielding of the crew station is obtained by the fact that all the apparatuses which are not functionally necessary in the crew station, in particular the power supply device, the electrical and electronic groups and ammunition are placed in

  compartments outside the crew station and behind him. Preferably

  These compartments placed behind the crew station are separated from it by partitions. Thanks to this device, the crew station with a particularly thick armor can be kept very small and the weight of the armor can be reduced, while on the other hand the necessary ancillaries in the turret are protected by this protection. especially thick armor, at least against frontal enemy shots, but they are anyway available in the turret and

  they participate in all the movements of it.

  Another saving of space can be obtained by the fact that the devices of aiming and observation are also outside the

  crew station, but under the protection of particularly thick armor.

  The arrangement of the sighting and observation devices in the shielding does not mean a weakening or, in any case, no noticeable weakening, since a shielding method known per se which has hollow spaces is used. In these, one can place devices

of sighting and observation.

  Thanks to the invention, it is still possible to overcome another difficulty. It may appear from the power supply device and other devices, for example hydraulic,

  oil vapors which> until now, polluted the air of the equipment post Se.

  Thanks to the invention, it is possible to have these compartments located outside the crew station, independently of it, so that no oil vapor or other polluting gas or vapor the air

  can not reach the crew station and it is not overheated.

  The ammunition is preferably placed in the ammunition bay separate from the crew station, so that the active heads of ammunition are turned in a direction opposite to the station, so that, if, as a result

  at once, the ammunition jumps, the crew is not put in danger.

  The compartments outside the crew station can also be accessible in isolation from the outside through shutters, which significantly facilitates maintenance. The loading of the weapon by hand, whether at a standstill or while traveling, is an operation that takes a relatively large amount of space. To reduce this space, the installation of the weapon can be advantageously arranged so that it can be placed in a specific loading position, in which its cylinder head is at about the same height as an opening of link to the ammunition bunker. In this way, the installation of the weapon can be shifted far enough into the crew position so as to save a significant amount of shielding and maintain the center of gravity of the entire system nearby.

  of the rotation axis of the turret.

  Other features and advantages of the invention will be

  better understood by reading the following description of an example

  embodiment and referring to the attached single drawing which represents

  an example of an armored combat turret.

  The battle tank 1 shown schematically in the drawing

  has a turret 2 that can rotate around its vertical axis.

  4 of the weapon can rotate around the horizontal axis 5 and it passes by its breech 7 far inside the crew station 6. This station is surrounded by a particularly thick armor which consists of a

  part 8 protecting against frontal bombardment and a part 9 protecting

  giant. Against lateral bombardment. According to the invention, the power supply 10, the electronics 11 and the ammunition 12 are placed in clean compartments which are located behind the crew station and which are separated by partitions 13. partition

  between the post 6 and the hold 18 is thicker than the other partitions.

  A shield 14, which is weaker than the shield of the crew station,

  protects these auxiliary compartments. A sighting device and / or

  observation line 4 are placed inside the lining 8, as shown in FIG.
