Description

Dispositif de chargement pour arme à canon mobile incor
porée à un véhicule blindé.Loading device for incorporated mobile gun
for an armored vehicle.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de chargement d'une arme à canon mobile incorporée à un véhicule blindé, comprenant un magasin et un dispositif d'alimentation. The present invention relates to a device for loading a mobile gun incorporated in an armored vehicle, comprising a magazine and a supply device.

On connalt par le brevet allemand DE-OS 29 48 146 un dispositif de chargement tel qu'il est mentionné ci-dessus. The German patent DE-OS 29 48 146 discloses a loading device as mentioned above.

Ce dispositif de chargement est prévu pour l'arme principale d'un véhicule blindé. Ce dispositif de chargement est constitué par des conteneurs disposés en chaîne et au moyen desquels les munitions peuvent etre introduites dans le canon.This loading device is intended for the main weapon of an armored vehicle. This loading device consists of containers arranged in a chain and by means of which the ammunition can be introduced into the barrel.

Les conteneurs sont amenés à se déplacer en pas à pas en formant une boucle, et ils constituent une bande sans fin guidée sur des rouleaux.The containers are caused to move step by step in a loop, and they form an endless band guided on rollers.

Quand il s'agit d'un mortier à tambour incorporé à un véhicule blindé et comprenant un canon mobile en direction axiale, le dispositif de chargement sus-mentionné peut être utilisé après l'avoir adapté de façon appropriée, mais sa capacité en munitions est cependant trop réduite. When it is a mortar with a drum incorporated into an armored vehicle and comprising a barrel movable in an axial direction, the above-mentioned loading device can be used after having adapted it appropriately, but its capacity in ammunition is however too reduced.

L'invention a pour objet, quand il s'agit d'un mortier à tambour monté sur un véhicule blindé, un agencement permettant de disposer d'une réserve plus importante de munitions et un dispositif de chargement complètement automatique mais pouvant être actionné manuellement en cas de besoin. Pour ré sous dre ce problème, l'invention prévoit qu'au moins un conteneur de munitions complètement garni peut glisser sur des rails montés dans le véhicule, que les munitions sont empilées les unes sur les autres dans des colonnes de stockage du conteneur de munitions, qu'au-dessous des colonnes est prévu un dispositif transporteur mobile en direction transversale pour transporter les munitions, et que le dispositif transporteur comprend un dispositif de levage pivotant qui fait passer les munitions devant le conteneur à munitions pour les faire parvenir à la position de chargement dans l'arme. L'avantage de cette solution est le chargement rapide en munitions du véhicule blindé au moyen de conteneurs facilement échangeables, la réserve importante de munitions pouvant contenir des munitions de types divers, l'accès rapide à ces munitions de types divers, le parcours de transport relativement court entre les conteneurs et le mortier, et le faible nombre de pièces mobiles. Le magasin situé du côté du mortier peut être facilement garni de cartouches dans toutes les positions du mortier. The subject of the invention is, when it is a drum mortar mounted on an armored vehicle, an arrangement making it possible to have a larger reserve of ammunition and a completely automatic loading device but which can be actuated manually by when needed. To solve this problem, the invention provides that at least one fully packed ammunition container can slide on rails mounted in the vehicle, that the ammunition is stacked on top of each other in storage columns of the ammunition container , that below the columns is provided a conveyor device movable in transverse direction for transporting the ammunition, and that the conveyor device comprises a pivoting lifting device which makes the ammunition pass in front of the ammunition container to bring them to the position loading into the weapon. The advantage of this solution is the rapid loading in ammunition of the armored vehicle by means of easily exchangeable containers, the large reserve of ammunition which can contain ammunition of various types, the rapid access to these ammunition of various types, the transport route relatively short between the containers and the mortar, and the low number of moving parts. The magazine on the mortar side can easily be filled with cartridges in all positions of the mortar.

Pour exploiter au mieux l'espace contenu dans le véhicule blindé, l'invention prévoit de disposer dans ce véhicule deux conteneurs situés l'un près de l'autre, à une distance correspondant approximativement à la largeur du dispositif de levage (tube pivotant). To make the best use of the space contained in the armored vehicle, the invention provides for having in this vehicle two containers located close to each other, at a distance corresponding approximately to the width of the lifting device (swivel tube). .

Selon l'invention, les colonnes de stockage sont prévues pour des munitions de longueurs diverses, ce qui permet de disposer dans les conteneurs des minutions de longueurs variables et ayant des effets différents. According to the invention, the storage columns are provided for ammunition of various lengths, which makes it possible to have in the containers timings of variable lengths and having different effects.

Lorsque le dispositif transporteur comprend un unique plateau de chargement relié à une chaîne transporteuse par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de levage en ciseau, le dispositif transporteur occupe un minimum de place. When the conveyor device comprises a single loading platform connected to a conveyor chain by means of a scissor lift device, the conveyor device occupies a minimum of space.

Avantageusement, les conteneurs sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule sur des rails de glissement de manière à pouvoir être échangés, les colonnes dans lesquelles sont emmagasinées les cartouches étant parallèles à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, le dispositif transporteur tranversal destiné aux cartouches étant prévu au-dessous des conteneurs, et l'arme, le magasin et le dispositif de levage et pivotant étant disposés dans l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. L'espace nécessaire au mouvement de levage et de pivotement des cartouches est prévu entre les conteneurs. Advantageously, the containers are arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle on sliding rails so that they can be exchanged, the columns in which the cartridges are stored being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the transverse conveyor device intended for cartridges being provided below the containers, and the weapon, the magazine and the lifting and pivoting device being arranged in the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The space necessary for the lifting and pivoting movement of the cartridges is provided between the containers.

En cas d'urgence, un accès facile est assuré au tireurpointeur ou au commandant, chaque cartouche pouvant être prélevée du conteneur sans grands efforts et rapidement dans l'espace qui est relativement haut. Du fait que la cartouche est introduite directement dans le magasin, il est possible en cas d'urgence de continuer à remplir le magasin alors que le dispositif de chargement ne fonctionne plus.  In an emergency, easy access is provided to the gunner or the commander, each cartridge being able to be removed from the container without great effort and quickly in the space which is relatively high. Because the cartridge is inserted directly into the magazine, it is possible in an emergency to continue filling the magazine while the loading device no longer works.

En dehors du fait que les conteneurs sont échangeables, on peut à tout moment les remplir manuellement de munitions ou en prélever manuellement des munitions. On peut également en effectuer manuellement le transbordement. Apart from the fact that the containers are exchangeable, it is possible at any time to manually fill them with ammunition or to manually take ammunition from them. It can also be transhipped manually.

En outre, on dispose d'une bonne visibilité qui permet de connaître le nombre et le type de munitions contenues dans le conteneur. In addition, there is good visibility which allows to know the number and type of ammunition contained in the container.

L'invention sera maintenant décrite plus en détail avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés dans lesquels:
la figure 1 est une vue simplifiée d'un véhicule blindé portant un mortier, un magasin et un dispositif de chargement, vu en coupe selon la ligne I-I de la figure 3,
la figure 2 est une vue en coupe du magasin et du dispositif de chargement, selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1, et
la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du mortier avec le magasin et le dispositif de chargement selon la figure 1.The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a simplified view of an armored vehicle carrying a mortar, a magazine and a loading device, seen in section along line II of FIG. 3,
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the magazine and of the loading device, along the line II-II of FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is a top view of the mortar with the magazine and the loading device according to FIG. 1.

A la partie arrière d'un véhicule blindé 1 sont disposés un mortier 1.1, un canon 1.4 mobile en direction axiale et muni d'un magasin 1.5 en forme de tambour, deux conteneurs 2, 3 contenant des cartouches 14, 14.1 de projectiles de types divers, et un dispositif transporteur qui sera décrit plus loin et destiné à transférer les cartouches 14, 14.1 depuis les conteneurs 2, 3 jusqu'au magasin 1.5. At the rear part of an armored vehicle 1 are arranged a mortar 1.1, a barrel 1.4 movable in an axial direction and provided with a magazine 1.5 in the form of a drum, two containers 2, 3 containing cartridges 14, 14.1 of projectiles of the types various, and a conveyor device which will be described later and intended to transfer the cartridges 14, 14.1 from the containers 2, 3 to the store 1.5.

Le canon 1.4 de l'arme est monté mobile en direction axiale dans un châssis 1.6 d'une manière connue en soi, alors que le magasin 1.5 est monté rotatif dans le châssis 1.6 autour d'un axe D parallèle au canon 1.4 de l'arme. The barrel 1.4 of the weapon is mounted movable in axial direction in a chassis 1.6 in a manner known per se, while the magazine 1.5 is rotatably mounted in the chassis 1.6 around an axis D parallel to the barrel 1.4 of the armed.

Le canon 1.4 de l'arme est représenté dans sa position de transport ou de base. Grâce à un dispositif de commande connu en soi et non représenté, le canon 14 de l'arme peut être amené dans toute position désirée sur le châssis dans la gamme supérieure des angles, et par exemple dans la position
C.The barrel 1.4 of the weapon is shown in its transport or basic position. Thanks to a control device known per se and not shown, the barrel 14 of the weapon can be brought into any desired position on the chassis in the upper range of angles, and for example in the position
vs.

Le magasin 1.5 comprend cinq positions d'alimentation 1.2 destinées aux cartouches 14, 14.1 et une position coaxiale au canon 1.4 de l'arme. The magazine 1.5 includes five feed positions 1.2 intended for cartridges 14, 14.1 and a position coaxial with the barrel 1.4 of the weapon.

Les conteneurs 2, 3 contiennent les cartouches 14, 14.1 dans des colonnes de stockage 4. Pour munir le véhicule 1 de munitions, les conteneurs 2, 3 remplis de cartouches 14, 14.1 sont introduits dans ce véhicule 1 en passant sur des rails 5. Un mécanisme de retenue qui n'est pas représenté maintient les cartouches 14, 14.1 dans chacune de leurs positions respectives. The containers 2, 3 contain the cartridges 14, 14.1 in storage columns 4. To provide the vehicle 1 with ammunition, the containers 2, 3 filled with cartridges 14, 14.1 are introduced into this vehicle 1 by passing on rails 5. A retaining mechanism which is not shown keeps the cartridges 14, 14.1 in each of their respective positions.

Sous les conteneurs 2, 3 est disposé un chariot d'amenée 6 pouvant circuler à partir d'une position centrale X et dans les direction des flèches A ou B vers la droite ou vers la gauche pour parvenir au-dessous d'une colonne de stockage choisie. Le dispositif transporteur transversal 7 est entraîné par un moteur 7.1 (figure 1). Le chariot d'amenée 6-contient un dispositif de levage 8 muni d'un vérin 8.1 et d'un plateau de chargement 9 disposé au-dessus. Grâce à un dispositif de pivotement 10 actionné par un vérin de levage 10.1, le plateau de chargement peut être pivoté autour de l'axe de rotation 11 dans la direction de la flèche M. L'importance du parcours du dispositif pivotant 10 dépend de la position respective du mortier 1.1. Under the containers 2, 3 is arranged a feed trolley 6 which can circulate from a central position X and in the direction of the arrows A or B to the right or to the left to reach below a column of storage chosen. The transverse conveyor device 7 is driven by a motor 7.1 (Figure 1). The feed carriage 6-contains a lifting device 8 provided with a jack 8.1 and a loading plate 9 arranged above. Thanks to a pivoting device 10 actuated by a lifting cylinder 10.1, the loading platform can be pivoted about the axis of rotation 11 in the direction of the arrow M. The length of the course of the pivoting device 10 depends on the respective mortar position 1.1.

L'opération de chargement se déroule comme suit. Le mortier et le magasin 1.5 sont dans la "position de chargement" représentée aux figures 1 et 2. Le chariot d'amenée 6 est déplacée de sa position centrale X pour parvenir sous la colonne de stockage contenant les munitions choisies. Le retrait d'une cartouche 14 de la colonne à munitions 4 s'effectue en faisant monter le plateau de chargement 9 au moyen d'un dispositif de levage en ciseau 8 qui est entraîné par un vérin de levage 8.1. Quand il est parvenu à la cartouche 14 qui est la plus basse, un mécanisme de retenue qui n'est pas représenté et qui est connu en soi est déclenché en vue du prélèvement d'une cartouche 14, 14.1. La cartouche 14 ou 14.1 qui a été retirée est transférée dans l'espace central vide, sous le tube pivotant 12. Grâce au dispositif de pivotement 10 qui est entraîné par le vérin de levage 10.1, la cartouche qui est retenue solidement dans le plateau de chargement 9 dont les formes sont correspondantes est amenée entre les crochets 15 du magasin à tambour 13 en tournant autour de l'axe de rotation 11 en direction de la flèche M. The loading operation is carried out as follows. The mortar and the magazine 1.5 are in the "loading position" shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The supply trolley 6 is moved from its central position X to reach under the storage column containing the selected ammunition. The removal of a cartridge 14 from the ammunition column 4 is carried out by raising the loading platform 9 by means of a scissor lifting device 8 which is driven by a lifting cylinder 8.1. When it has reached the cartridge 14 which is the lowest, a retaining mechanism which is not shown and which is known per se is triggered with a view to the removal of a cartridge 14, 14.1. The cartridge 14 or 14.1 which has been removed is transferred to the empty central space, under the pivoting tube 12. Thanks to the pivoting device 10 which is driven by the lifting cylinder 10.1, the cartridge which is firmly retained in the tray. loading 9 whose shapes are corresponding is brought between the hooks 15 of the drum magazine 13 by turning around the axis of rotation 11 in the direction of the arrow M.

Pendant que le plateau de chargement 9 est ramené par pivotement à sa position première et se déplace avec le chariot d'amenée 6 vers la colonne de munitions suivante, le magasin à tambour est commuté en vue de la réception d'une autre cartouche. While the loading plate 9 is pivoted back to its first position and moves with the feeding carriage 6 to the next column of ammunition, the drum magazine is switched for the reception of another cartridge.
