Description

The present invention relates to the field of military equipment, namely, to the design of a portable anti-tank missile system used in infantry, and to a method for fixing a container with a missile on a launcher in a portable version.

Currently, in connection with the use of active protection of armored vehicles in the troops of the alleged enemy, the role of man-portable systems with missiles, which have great destructive power, is significantly increasing. This forces the development of rockets with a large mass to increase the likelihood of hitting a target. However, an increase in mass, for example, to 40 kg or more, reduces the combat readiness of the complex, since it requires two operators to load, in order to accurately orient the container in the securing zone, especially in conditions of limited visibility and in combat operations, when human reserves are limited. Thus, the solution of these conflicting requirements is an urgent task.

Known installation and fastening of the transport and launch container with a rocket ready for launch on a stationary launcher [1].

On one side, a guide bracket is mounted on the side of the launch platform. Four mounting heels are located in pairs at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the container. Four guides are provided on the upper side of the platform with a defined sliding portion for the mounting feet along the container. Behind the rear rails, longitudinal stops are provided that rise above their support plane for the rear mounting heels, for fixing the longitudinal position of the container on the platform. Fixing devices on each of the guides for fixing heels, consisting of a hook mounted loosely on the front side of the guides under their supporting planes on a rotating pin and pivoting on the front edge of the fixing heel.

The hook with its trunnion is mounted on a longitudinally movable support, so that the hook can be pulled in the direction of the stop to the mounting heel. The mounting heel and guides on the side of the platform or container for precise lateral installation of the container on the platform are provided with additional smooth profiles movable in the longitudinal direction, while the other mounting heel and the guides of the other side are provided with support planes for lateral adjustment.

A disadvantage of the known device and method is that it is necessary to fix the container both in the longitudinal direction on each of the four guides with fixing heels and in the lateral direction by adjusting the reference planes, thereby increasing the loading time and, therefore, the combat readiness of the launcher. In addition, an increase in the loading time increases the likelihood of defeat of the launcher operators by the enemy.

Known rocket launcher, [2], securing the launch tube for a guided projectile on the launcher, which contains a box having two pairs of captures (one pair from each end). The grips of each pair can converge and diverge, so that they can clamp and release the launch tube. Captures are installed at the ends of a pair of torsion bars and are actuated to capture the launch tube due to the energy stored in any device, such as springs. Grips in their movement from open to closed position pass through an intermediate position in which they can be held by a spring-loaded ball lock mounted between the actuated link and the box support, respectively. A launch tube having a longitudinal flange that secures the rocket with the front end of a wedge-shaped form when equipped can be installed in the intermediate position of the grippers so that the grippers enter the cut out portions of the shoulder. Electrical connection means are also provided. The launcher contains a plug attached to the rod. The plug has fingers that slide in diametrically opposite guide grooves in a pair of cylinders, with one cylinder attached to each torsion bar.

The fork moves between the two extreme positions using a manually driven device and is held in both positions by means of a locking device that interacts with the guide ring when the grippers are open, when the compression plate compresses the springs under the action of the draft pin. Next, the plug is connected to a pair of guide rods, which through the sliding connection between the pins of the electrical plug and the grooves in the plug raise the plug, providing electrical contact. The guide grooves in which the fingers slide can be actuated by opposing hydraulic cylinders. Microswitches control the actuation of the system by means of cams attached to the plug. On the grip on each side of the launcher, there may be a lever that allows you to remove the launcher from the launcher.

The disadvantage of this device is the presence of an intermediate position of the grippers, which causes uncertainty in fixing the launch tube and the operator spends precious seconds to understand the location of the grippers. Moreover, you still need to manually move the plug for electrical connection, and guide the grooves to actuate the hydraulic cylinders. In addition, to disconnect the launcher, turn the levers on both sides of the launcher. These necessary operations in the known device, especially at night, reduce the combat readiness of the launcher and reduce the likelihood of advancing the enemy.

The closest to the claimed device in technical essence and the achieved effect is a portable anti-tank complex [3], containing a tripod, swivel with eyes, a mechanism for vertical and horizontal guidance, a sight in the case, a missile mounted in a container on a cradle with a shock absorber, an inductor on the sight body , spring loaded pusher and trigger. The cradle with shock absorber is mounted on the sight housing. At the top of the cradle there are front and rear guides into which a container with a rocket is inserted with its front and rear yokes. The front rail is equipped with a spring-loaded lever for fixing the container. The electric connection between the rocket and the inductor is made through the socket of the electrical connector of the container with the plug of the electrical connector on the cradle, which has hooks located in the grooves of the cradle, and a cable with an sight.

The disadvantage of this device is the lack of nodes and orientation elements of the yoke of the container relative to the upper guides of the cradle. Given that the docking nodes are required to ensure the smallest possible play, and also considering that modern rockets in containers weigh more than 20 kg, it is necessary to calculate, while holding the container with the rocket in weight, simultaneously combine the front and rear yokes with cradle guides. This requires considerable time and strength endurance calculation. In the case of the dark time of the day, when visibility is limited, docking is extremely difficult, even by two calculation operators. In the case when the operator is left alone, then this task is complicated many times. This howl significantly affects the combat readiness of the complex and the low probability of hitting the target due to the considerable time spent on installing the container and reloading, as well as due to excessive efforts for the operator.

There is a method of installing a container with a missile on the launcher and fixing it [4], in which the front and rear hooks of the container are installed on the lead-in parts of the cradles, send the container forward to the stop and fasten it by turning the handle back and right to failure.

The disadvantage of this method is that when the container is installed, precise coupling of the hooks with the lead part of the cradle guides, also made with high accuracy, is required to ensure that the requirements for shooting and initial rocket perturbations are met. And if you consider that the weight of the container with the rocket is about 40 kg, then when loading while lying down, as well as in the dark, when the visibility of the docking elements is practically absent, the loading process is much more complicated and requires additional time for this operation.

The task of the invention is to increase the combat readiness of the complex and increase the likelihood of hitting a target.

The task is achieved in that the portable anti-tank missile system contains a container with a missile, on the case of which a yoke and an electrical socket are installed, a tripod base with a swivel mounted on it with the possibility of rotation with vertical and horizontal guidance elements, a cradle with longitudinal guide grooves and a fork docked with a power socket, mechanism for securing the container about the rocket on the cradle, hooks.

What is new is that in a portable anti-tank missile system the mechanism for securing a container with a rocket on a cradle has a slider, a socket insert and a spring-loaded lever. The hooks are fixed on the container and are located in the longitudinal guide grooves of the cradle, made with the entrance in the form of angular bevels. The complex is equipped with an orientation unit mounted on the cradle and made in the form of a plate with a chamfer, a catcher, a groove and a hole located above the nest insert, two flat supports with a cut towards the fixing mechanism, and a guide made in the form of a rigid arcuate partition, the arc of which is directed towards the container. In this case, the plate and supports are placed symmetrically relative to the axis of the cradle from its two sides. A guide is installed in the rear of the cradle above the longitudinal guide grooves. A window is made in the middle part of the cradle. In this case, the chamfer is located in front of the window and perpendicular to the supports. The catcher is made in the form of two dividing cheeks of a curved shape, with some ends enveloping the hole, and the other ends of the chamfer. Moreover, the angular bevels are made in two planes, and the hooks are installed on the electric socket. The length of the chamfer is equal to the width of the window. The supports along the inner ribs are made at the same level with the other arched septum. The radius of the arc of the arcuate partition is equal to half the diameter of the container.

The objective of the method of installing a container with a rocket on a launcher, including moving the mechanism for securing a container with a rocket all the way to one side, placing on a launcher with elements of mechanical and electrical docking a container with a rocket having mating mating elements, moving said container forward and its fixation when translating the fixing mechanism in the opposite direction.

What is new is that the container with the rocket is installed in the orientation unit, made on the launcher and which ensures that the container and the rocket are automatically oriented along the pitch, yaw and roll angles and that the docking elements of the container and the missile and launcher are combined. In this case, fixation is carried out simultaneously with the articulation of the docking elements.

The quick fulfillment of the combat mission is achieved by the free installation of the yoke in the wide window of the cradle and the container body on the arc-shaped guide, which self-orientates the missile container. And with a fairly light hand push on the container - how does it independently combine the elements of mechanical and electrical docking with the launcher. It remains only to turn the locking mechanism, which finally articulates the docking elements and at the same time fix the container on the launcher.

A portable anti-tank missile system (Fig. 1,2) consists of two main assembly units: a launcher and a container 1 with a missile 2 ready for launch.

The launcher includes an alarming base 3 mounted on it with the ability to rotate a spit 4 with elements of vertical guidance 5 and horizontal guidance 6, sight 7 with a launch unit 8 and with a fixed cradle 9, on which there is a plug 10 for electrical connection with an electrical outlet 11 of the container 1, equipped with hooks 12, and the mechanism for securing the container with the launcher. The fixing mechanism is formed from a slider 13, a socket insert 14 and a spring-loaded lever 15. In the cradle 9 (Fig. 3) a window 16 is made and a guide 17 is fixed thereon, two supports 18 with a cut 19 and a plate 20 with a catcher 21. The plate 20 is fixed in the front of the cradle 9 (Fig.6,7). Catcher 21 is made in the form of two flat dividing cheeks 22 of a curved shape. In addition, a hole 23 is made in the plate 20 with a groove 24 for locating the yoke 25 (Fig. 4) and a lead-in chamfer 26 (Fig. 6.10) located perpendicular to the cradle 9. Chamfer 26 is located in front of the window 16. The length of the chamfer 26 is equal to the width of the window 16 The window 16 is framed by two supports 18 located along the lateral edges of the cradle 9. In the supports 18, a cut 19 is made, which is directed towards the flight of the rocket 2 (X axis). The catcher 21 goes around the hole 23 to the groove 24 and expands to the length of the chamfer 26 with the coverage of its width. And in the rear part of the cradle 9 there is a plug 10 and a guide 17 made in the form of a flat arcuate partition (Fig. 8), mounted perpendicular to the cradle 9 and supports 18 and fixed above the longitudinal guide grooves 27 so that the container body 1 interacts simultaneously at three points - this is with the arc of the guide 17 (radius R) and supports 18 at points G. At the very end of the cradle (Fig.9), the input angled bevels 28 are made with an inclination in two planes U and Z.

The method of installing a container with a rocket ready for launch with a launcher is as follows.

The spring-loaded lever 15 is moved counterclockwise until it interacts with the slot 29 in the cradle 9. The container 1 with the rocket 2, on which the yoke 25 is mounted, is placed on the orientation unit, while the yoke is located in the window 16. With an easy movement of the hand, the operator moves the container 1 forward (Fig. 4) along the X axis. It moves in the guide 17, since the guide 17 covers the body of the container 1 and, as it moves along the guide 17 and the supports 18, is self-oriented in pitch and roll. The hooks 12 slide along the angular bevels 28 and lift the container 1, while the yoke 25 exits the window 16, slides along the chamfer 26 and the plate 20 between the dividing cheeks 22, and the container body 1 along the cuts 19 of the supports 18 under its own weight. Self-orientation along the yaw angle occurs. The yoke 25 falls into the hole 23 in the plate 20 and in the socket insert 14. The socket 11 and plug 10 are located on the same axis. Then translate the lever 15 (figure 5) clockwise until it locks in the slot 30 of the cradle 9. In this case, the container 1 for the yoke 25 is pulled together with the socket insert 14 forward. The yoke 25 with its mushroom-shaped end goes under the plate 20 and the groove 24, and the hooks 12 move in the longitudinal guide grooves 27 of the cradle 9 until the socket 11 is connected to the plug 10.

The proposed portable anti-tank missile system and method of installing a container with a launcher in comparison with the prototype allows you to:

- increase the combat readiness of the complex by reducing the loading time, especially at night, since it is not necessary to accurately install the container on the launcher. It is enough to place the yoke in a wide window, which is not less than a quarter of the length of the cradle in length and less than the width of the cradle in width by only two supports, and the container body on an arc-shaped partition, and push it forward. It is not necessary to directly engage the hook in narrow longitudinal grooves, and the yoke is exactly in the locking mechanism, because the yoke placement area has been expanded;

- increase the probability of hitting the target due to, for example, increasing the amount of explosive in the rocket, its caliber, by eliminating the exact horizontal orientation of the yoke along the roll of a heavy container, since the supports and an arched partition with a radius equal to half the diameter of the container body will orient the container on the launcher . A plate with a hole, a chamfer, a catcher, angled bevels and a hook on the socket during the dispatch of the container exclude the container turning, jamming, provide its required orientation in the fixation zone and articulation of the elements of the electrical connectors docking.

In addition, it should be noted that the proposed method and device allows the combat crew, consisting of one launcher operator, to easily dock a heavy container and transfer the spring-loaded lever along the slider to finally secure the container for launching the rocket.
