Description

[0001] MOUNT AND WEAPON BARREL COMPRISING A MOUNTING [0002]

The present invention relates to a mounting portion for fixing an object in an inorganic barrel.

The weapon barrels are used in military ships to receive and release objects. It will be appreciated that the inorganic barrel most closely refers to a round cross-section tube. Typical inorganic barrels are, for example, ejectors for sonar devices or decoys or torpedo tubes. According to the present invention, objects include weapons such as torpedoes, missiles, mines and decoys as well as loading containers. In the context of the present invention, loading containers are loading containers as used in submarines for discharging by torpedo tubes. The loading containers serve to, for example, allow divers to carry equipment items and, in particular, even water, in the case of use from a submarine. To mount these objects in an inorganic barrel in a stable manner, the objects have fixtures in the object case. In the case of torpedoes, the securing device is typically referred to as a holding nipple. The inorganic barrel preferably has a rail inside, and the fastening device can proceed on the rail. This prevents rotation of the object. Also, to prevent undesirable translational motion of the object, the securing device is secured by a holding pawl.

According to the prior art, a rectangular parallelepiped fixture with a groove in the center for securing the weapon in the inorganic barrel is used in drop-in containers or weapons, such as torpedoes, missiles or weapon barrels, such as mines And are arranged in the object case of the objects. Here, the objects for use in the inorganic barrels are fixed by a holding pole having only one pole. For fixation, the pole is placed in the groove in a positive locking manner. In the case of a malfunction of the holding pole, the pole may not contact the groove of the retainer during the inorganic barrel loading, or the weapon may move onto the holding pole and thus the weapon may be damaged.

DE 10 2009 020 323 A1 discloses an inorganic recess for receiving a weapon, said inorganic recess having a holding pole. In order for this type of holding pawl to be used, the locking device of the weapon must have a groove in which the holding pawls engage in a positive locking manner. The holding device must be inclined in the direction of introduction such that the pivotally mounted holding pawl automatically rises during the introduction of the weapon. This makes it essential that the weapon be specially constructed for the holding device of the barrel of the weapon.

A series of holding devices for weapons or objects with a rectangular parallelepiped fixture without grooves are known from the prior art.

US 5,025,744 discloses a rocker-shaped holding device for securing a securing device.

US 5,174,236 discloses a plate-shaped holding device for fastening a fastening device. Here, the holding device is moved vertically relative to the translational motion and thus switched between a loaded state, a closed state and a state for firing a weapon.

US 5,690,044 and US 6,367,307 B1 disclose single-piece holding devices for securing a rectangular parallelepiped fixture. In the case of these holding devices, however, it is necessary to accurately position the object in the barrel during introduction into the barrel so that the holding device can be accurately engaged on the barbed device.

It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to reliably hold an object having a rectangular parallelepiped fixing device without a groove and make it possible to reliably carry out loading, unloading, runout or release of an object, And the like.

This object is achieved by an inorganic barrel having a mounting part with the features defined in claim 1 and a mounting part with the features defined in claim 10. Advantageous refinements are derived from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

The mounting part according to the present invention for fixing an object in an inorganic barrel has a first pole and a second pole, and the first pole and the second pole can move independently of each other in each case. The first pole and the second pole are arranged in such a way that, during fixation of the object, the first pole and the second pole are arranged on opposite sides of the securing device in each case; For example, the first pole is arranged in front of the rectangular parallelepiped fixture in the direction of translation of the object during introduction into the inorganic barrel, and the second pole is arranged correspondingly behind the rectangular parallelepiped fixture. The translational motion of the object in the inorganic barrel can thus be prevented. The first pole and the second pole are movably mounted. Since the pawls are movably mounted, the pawls are capable of both fixing (for storage) and releasing (during loading and unloading, or during runout or release) the object. The first pole and the second pole are preferably mounted so that they can be moved individually.

The pawls are preferably manufactured from high strength steels to absorb generated forces.

In one embodiment of the mounting portion, the first pole and the second pole are resiliently mounted. The resilient mounting of the first and second pawls can be configured, for example, by machining the pawls in the form of a spring, and in the "form of a spring" means that the pawls are resiliently mounted. The first and second pawls are preferably resiliently mounted as the pawls are rotatably mounted and the external force acts elastically in the direction of the object. The external force can be generated, for example, by a spring. However, other mechanisms for setting external forces, such as magnetic forces, are feasible, and these mechanisms allow elastic movement of the pawl.

In one embodiment, the first pole and the second pole are spaced apart in a manner that surrounds the fixture of the object in a positive locking manner. In the context of the present invention, enclosing means that two pawls are at least located on two opposing sides of the fixture and therefore fix two opposing sides of the fixture in the direction of movement, preferably the longitudinal direction of the barrel do. This prevents the object from moving in the inorganic barrel. This may be particularly important if the position of the inorganic barrel is changed, for example, during the lifting of a submarine or during a dive, or in the case of a water craft.

In one embodiment, the first pole and the second pole are arranged in parallel next to each other at right angles to the moving direction of the object in the inorganic barrel. In such a case, the first pole and the second pole are preferably spaced apart from each other such that the fixture device of the object is correctly fitted between the first pole and the second pole.

In a further embodiment, the first pole is inclined at the side facing away from the second pole. In the context of the present invention, tilting means that the pawl has a shape that results in the object being pushed down the pole and causing the pole to rise in the process when the rectangular parallelepiped fixture is pushed against the beveled side of the pole . The inclination preferably has an angle of between 5 ° and 70 °, particularly preferably between 10 ° and 50 °, very particularly preferably between 15 ° and 40 ° with respect to the direction of movement of the object. The angle is also an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inorganic barrel corresponding to the moving direction of the object. As a result, it is possible to introduce an object from the side of the first pole, preferably from the inside of the vessel into the inorganic barrel. During introduction, the rectangular parallelepiped fixture contacts the tilted resiliently mounted first pawl and presses the first pawl out of the track of movement of the object. The object may be further introduced into the inorganic barrel until the securing device contacts the second pawl.

Alternatively or additionally, it is possible to raise the first pole from the side of the first pole, preferably during the introduction of the object from inside the vessel. The object may also be introduced into the inorganic barrel in this case until the fixture of the object is in contact with the second pole. For fixation, the first pole is lowered again.

In a further embodiment, the second pole is inclined at the side facing away from the first pole. As a result, it is possible to introduce an object into the inorganic barrel from the side of the second pole, preferably from the outside of the vessel. During the introduction, the rectangular parallelepiped fixture contacts the second tapered resilient pawl and presses the second pawl out of the travel path of the object. The object may be further introduced into the inorganic barrel when the fastening device contacts the first pole.

Alternatively or additionally, it is possible to raise the second pole during the introduction of the object from the side of the second pole, preferably from the outside side of the vessel. The object may also be introduced into the inorganic barrel in this case until the fixture of the object is in contact with the first pole. For securing, the second pole is lowered again.

In a further embodiment, both the first and second pawls are inclined. As a result, it is possible to load objects into the inorganic barrel from both inside and outside the ship.

The first pole or the second pole or both poles are raised so as to run out or release the object or to remove the object from the inorganic barrel. As a result, the fixture is no longer fixed and the object can be moved freely.

In a further embodiment, the first pole and the second pole are attached to the holding pole frame. By means of the holding pole frame, the holding pawls can be replaced if necessary, provided that an object having a differently shaped locking device is used. It is also advantageous to use mechanical means for lifting the pawls in combination for both pawls in the case of the use of a common holding pole frame, thus simplifying the overall configuration.

In a further embodiment, at least one first buffer is attached to the holding pawl frame. The buffer serves to absorb the kinetic energy of the introduced object. Conventional torpedoes with a diameter of 533 mm have a mass of 1.3 to 1.7 tons. When the torpedoes are introduced into the weapon barrel, as soon as the securing device contacts the second pole, the movement will abruptly terminate. To prevent damage to the object as a result of the impact, the buffer is attached to the holding pawl frame, absorbing the kinetic energy of the object and braking the object gently.

The buffer is preferably constructed in the form of an elastic plastic mass bonded with an adhesive between the two metal plates. The buffer acts in such a way that the pulses are absorbed by the buffer along the direction of movement of the object. The buffer preferably has only guide rods that allow movement of the buffer and thus also of the pawls, only in the direction of the guide rods. The guide rods are preferably parallel to the longitudinal direction of the inorganic barrel. The guide rods are preferably constructed as fins.

In one preferred embodiment, the buffer is arranged between the holding pawl frame and the mounting. The mounting is rigidly connected to the inorganic barrel, thus delivering pulses of the introduced object absorbed in the holding pole frame to the inorganic barrel.

In a further embodiment, at least one first buffer and at least one second buffer are attached to the holding pawl frame. As a result, buffering becomes possible during loading both from inside the vessel and from the outside of the vessel.

In a further embodiment, the holding pawl frame has a torsion spring that acts on the first pole and the second pole in the direction of the object. The torsion spring generates a force F _D acting on the object by the first pole and the second pole. The advantage of the torsion spring is a satisfactory integration of the flat configuration of the mount, in particular a simple integration into the holding pole frame and thus a satisfactory integration into the inorganic barrel. The torsion spring is preferably encapsulated in a watertight manner.

In a further embodiment, the mounting portion has a wedge. The wedge can be moved relative to the first pole and the second pole. By the wedge, the first pole and the second pole can be moved in a direction away from the object. In particular, in order to run out or release an object, the pawls must be removed from the object so that the object can move freely. This can be guaranteed with the help of a wedge in a simple manner. The wedge is preferably hydraulically or manually actuated.

In addition, the present invention relates to an inorganic barrel having a mounting portion according to the present invention.

In one preferred embodiment of the inorganic barrel of the present invention, the object is a torpedo and the anchoring device is a holding nipple, which is common for torpedoes. The first pole is arranged behind the holding nipple in the direction of travel of the torpedo and the second pole is arranged in front of the holding nipple in the direction of travel of the torpedo. The first pole and the second pole surround the holding nipple in a positive locking manner.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the position of the pawls is detected using the position of the drive mechanism coupled to the wedge. Alternatively or additionally, the position of the pawls can also be detected using sensors in the frame.

In the following text, the mounting part according to the invention is described in more detail using one exemplary embodiment shown in the figures:

1 shows an inorganic barrel having an inorganic barrel casing 2. Fig. Object (1), where the torpedo, for example, is loaded into an inorganic barrel. The object (1) is held in place by the mounting portion (13).

Region X of FIG. 1 is shown in an enlarged scale in FIG. The welded holding pieces (7) are welded to the inorganic barrel casing (2). The mounting portion 13 has mountings 8. The mountings (8) are threaded into the welded holding pieces (7).

Figure 3 shows the mounting portion 13 according to Figure 2 in plan view. The mounting portion 13 has a holding pawl frame 6 on which the first pawl 4 and the second pawl 5 are arranged. The fastening device 3 of the object 1 can be held between the first pole 4 and the second pole 5. [ The holding pole frame 6 is connected to the mountings 8 via the pins 9 and the buffers 10. The buffers 10 serve to absorb the impact generated when the fastening device 3 of the object 1 contacts the first pole 4 or the second pole 5 during loading.

The first pole (4) and the second pole (5) are mounted to be pivotable through the pins (14). The mounting portion 13 has a torsion spring 11 (shown in Fig. 8) to hold the first pawl 4 and the second pawl 5 in position resiliently. The torsion spring 11 is plugged into the clamping pieces 15 on both sides. The force F _D at which the first pawl 4 and the second pawl 5 are urged downward is achieved by rotation of the clamping pieces 15 with subsequent locking by the locknuts 16.

The mounting portion 13 also has a wedge 12 to elevate the first and second pawls 4 and 5 against the pressure of the torsion spring 11.

The method of operation of the mounting portion 13 according to the present invention is illustrated using the introduction of the object 1 in Fig. 4, the fixation of the object 1 in Fig. 5 and the runout or emission of the object in Fig. Here, the velocity V represents the movement of the object.

During the introduction of the object 1 with the fastening device 3 in the inorganic barrel having the mounting portion 13, the fastening device 3 contacts the first pole 4 most of all. The first pawl 4 is inclined as shown in Fig. As a result, the fastening device 3 raises the first pole 4 in opposition to the force F _D produced by the torsion spring 11. The object 1 may be introduced until the securing device 3 contacts the second pawl 5. As a result of the force F _D , the first pole 4 returns to its original position. The impact force of the fastening device 3 with respect to the second pawl 5 is absorbed by the buffers 10 to prevent damage to the mounting portion 13 or the object 1. The situation shown in Fig. 5 occurs. The fixation of the object 1 in the correct position can be tested by the object 1 pulled back after introduction. To allow the introduction of, for example, a different object 1 into the interior of the boat so as to remove the object 1 from the inorganic barrel, or to permit the object to be run- The pawl 4 and the second pawl 5 are raised by the wedge 12 as shown in Fig. The fastening device 3 of the object 1 can be freely moved and the object 1 can be removed inside the boat or the object 1 can be run out or released.

Figure 7 shows the cross section BB from Figure 3 through the points of the pole mountings with the torsion spring 11. [ The pins 14 preferably as square pins are attached to the holding pawl frame 6 and the clamping pieces 15 are attached through the locknuts 16 and secured to the torsion springs 15 by the clamping pieces 15, 11 are pressed. The fixed counter bearing of the torsion spring 11 lies in the center of the holding pawl frame 6. Since the inorganic barrel is flooded to run out or release the object, the mounting portion 13 is at least temporarily exposed to the sea water of water, especially of salinity. For this reason, the device has sealing systems 17 to prevent corrosion of the torsion spring 11 and hence reduction of the force F _D.

Figure 8 shows the cross section CC from Figure 3 through the pawls 4,5. The pawls 4 and 5 are arranged in the holding pawl frame 6 and are pressed downward by a force F _D by a torsion spring 11 and are rotatably mounted on the pin 14. The wedge 12 is arranged below the pawls 4, 5 to enable the pawls 4, 5 to be lifted. The force must be applied through the wedge 12 at the pawls 4 and 5 and the force compensates for the torque M _D of the torsion spring 11 to raise the pawls 4,5. If the wedge 12 is pushed back to its original position, the forces F _D push the pawls 4, 5 back to the lowered position. The wedge 12 is profiled in such a way that there is sufficient offset at the profile surface in the case of impacts in the longitudinal direction so that the pawls 4,5 do not rise unintentionally. The wedge may be actuated either hydraulically or pneumatically and manually.

The wedge 12 is shown in Fig. 9 in a detailed manner in Fig. 9 as a cross-sectional view D-D. In the position of the wedge 12 as shown, the first pole 4 and the second pole 5 are located in the lowered position. If the wedge 12 is displaced to the left, the first pole 4 and the second pole 5 are raised. As a result, the fixing device 3 is no longer fixed, and the object 1 can be run out, released or removed.
