Description

The group of inventions relates to the field of engineering and can find application in military equipment on moving tracked or wheeled chassis in the ground forces.

The 152-mm howitzer 2C19 Msta-S is known (see the popular science magazine Technique and Weapons No. 6, 1996, page 29, publisher of AviaKosm JSC), which contains a tracked chassis (six-wheeled), a tower installed on the slewing gear. The control department and the weapons department have a single working space and are located in the chassis and turret. In the bow of the chassis is the workplace of the driver, the rest of the crew are in the tower, where the main armament and filter-ventilation unit are installed. MTO with 840 hp engine located in the stern. The undercarriage consists of a caterpillar mover and suspension. The suspension is designed to mitigate shocks and bumps when driving on the terrain, to keep the hull in a stable position while overcoming bumps, precision shooting and reliable operation of howitzer aggregates and mechanisms. The suspension contains a torsion shaft, a balancer, a balancer axis, a hydraulic shock absorber, an emphasis.

In the specified device, the entire crew, five people, is in the fighting compartment, which is undesirable for his life. In a combat situation, when fired, part of the powder gases falls into the fighting compartment. If a shell hits the inside of the fighting compartment, an explosion of ammunition is possible. In addition, the conditions for crew interaction and the transfer of control functions from one to another are difficult.

The tank design is also known (see BIPM No. 1, 01/10/2005, RF application for invention No. 2003106114/02), consisting of two types of parts connected by a hitch, each of which has an engine and a running gear. In one of the two types of tank parts - combat, heavy weapons are located, and in the other - the crew and light weapons. Management of the combat parts of the tank is performed through the coupling unit or remotely. The part of the tank in which the crew is located serves to evacuate the crew from the danger zone. The cockpit is made reckless with the possibility of turning the gun and raising it with vertical aiming at an angle of up to 90 °. Each part of the tank, combat and crew, are equipped with front and rear rating units. The crew cabin is sealed, with a filter ventilation system and chemical air regenerators.

In the specified device, the crew is in an isolated compartment in the part of the tank that is separated from the fighting compartment, on which the crew can leave the position in difficult combat situations. But a part of a tank with heavy weapons cannot leave the battlefield on its own. A drive with an internal combustion engine and its servicing units are installed on the first and second parts of the tank, which is unfavorable for combat packs. The reckless layout of the product does not allow you to place in the armored compartment the necessary ammunition for transportable ammunition, for example large-caliber. In addition, it is not possible to track the target synchronously from both parts of the tank.

It is known that the articulated hitch of the Swedish articulated armored personnel carrier Bv 206S (see G.L. Kholyavsky “Encyclopedia of armored vehicles” tracked combat vehicles, Harvest, 2001, p. 398), which connects two parts of an armored personnel carrier and is made of three types consisting of rods and leverage of mechanisms, which, complementing each other, together allow for the rotation of the tracked parts of the armored personnel carrier. The disadvantage of the articulation device is the lack of strength and reliability of the design. The turning radius of the articulated armored personnel carrier is 8 meters, which is significantly larger compared to a conventional tracked vehicle, for example 2C19.

The task to which the proposed group of inventions is directed is to create such a combat vehicle, the design and layout solution of which are most favorable for the life of the crew in combat conditions, without compromising the performance characteristics of the product.

An articulated combat vehicle, for example a self-propelled howitzer, contains two bodies: a worker 1 and a combat 2 (figure 1). The working housing 1 and the fighting housing 2 are connected by a fifth wheel 3.

Each of the hulls 1, 2 is made respectively on tracked chassis 4, 5 with the suspension systems 6 and 7 with hydraulic shock absorption 8, the drives of the power plant 9, 10, the transmission 11, 12. In the bow 13 and stern 14 of each of the hulls 1, 2, respectively, the installation sites of the fifth wheel assembly 3. are made. The main armament, for example, 152 mm artillery mount 15 (FIGS. 1, 2), the fire control complex from it, and the transportable ammunition (not shown) are installed in the combat building 2. The working building 1 contains the workplaces of crew members (not shown) and light weapons - a turret for the anti-aircraft machine gun 16. The control from the working building 1 to the fighting building 2 is carried out remotely by radio or via the tow hitch 3 via a fiber optic cable installed in armored casing 17 with a remotely controlled contact device 18 (figure 5).

Both buildings 1 and 2 are made with towers 19 and 20 (FIGS. 1, 2) of circular rotation in the horizontal plane, mounted on slewing devices 21 and 22, respectively, on the chassis 4, 5. Traveling suspensions 6 and 7 are made in the form of five pairs track rollers 23 (figure 1).

On the working case 1 are installed: in the bow part 13 — the driver’s seat (not shown), in the middle part 24, tower 19 — the control compartment with the commander and gunner’s places (not shown), in the stern 14, in an isolated compartment, - the main drive of the power plant 9 and the transmission 11.

On the combat building 2 are installed: in the bow of its 13 - lightweight drive of the power plant 10 for the caterpillar mover 25, the transmission 12 and the backup seat of the driver (not shown), in the middle 24 and aft 14 parts - the armament compartment with the artillery installation 15 and transported ammunition (not shown).

On the caterpillar chassis 5 of the combat hull 2, an additional damping device 26 is installed in the suspension system 7 with hydraulic shock absorption 8 (Fig. 3) in the form of two separately twin hydraulic cylinders 27, such as anti-recoil devices of the T-80 tank’s guns. Each node of the twin hydraulic cylinders 27 (Figs. 3, 4) is kinematically connected by means of a thrust 28, a mechanism for increasing the stroke 29, a system of levers 30 with the front 31 and rear 32 track rollers 23 (Fig. 1). The node of the double hydraulic cylinders 27 (figure 3) consists of a cylindrical brake rollback 33 and run 34 installed inside the housing 35 (figure 4). Between the rod 28 and the system of levers 30, a mechanism for remote breaking of the kinematic connection 36 is installed when the vehicle is in the stowed position.

On the working 1 and combat 2 (Fig. 2) hulls, the crew places are rigidly fixed in the ceiling of the compartments (not shown) under hatches 37, 38, 39 for the embarkation and disembarkation of crew members.

On each tracked wheel fender of the chassis 4, 5 (Fig. 2), an autonomous power supply unit 40 of type AP24D1 is installed, on the left crawler fender there are compartments 41 (Fig. 1) for installing 4 rechargeable batteries.

The support-hitch device 3 (Fig. 1, 2) for realizing the joint is made in the form of a two-tier trapezoid 42 (Fig. 5, 6) with articulated mobility of the sides.

The base 43 of the two-tier trapezoid 42 is pivotally mounted on the aft part 14 of the working building 1, the apex 44 is in the bow 13 of the articulated fighting body 2, symmetrically to the longitudinal axis A of the machine (Figs. 2, 5). The lateral sides 45 of the upper tier and the lateral sides 46 of the lower tier of the two-story trapezoid 42 are kinematically connected by a coupler 47 (Fig. 5) to each other and balanced by a mechanism 48 (Fig. 6) in the form of two hydraulic cylinders 49 (Fig. 5). The rods 50 of the hydraulic cylinders 49 are pivotally coupled by a coupler 47 to the delivery link 51, and the bodies 52 (FIGS. 5, 6) are pivotally mounted on the working body 1 of the BSM.

The articulated mobility of the sides 46 of the lower tier (Fig. 6) relative to the base 43 of the two-story trapezoid 42 is made in the form of rigid asynchronous cardans 53, and relative to the apex 44 - in the form of a ball joint coupling 54 with the possibility of remote locking and unlocking by the device 55.

Each lateral side 45 of the upper tier of the two-story trapezoid 42 is made in the form of a hydraulic coupler 56, with the hydraulic cylinder body 57 installed at the base 43 and the rod part 58 at the top 44. Hydraulic locks 59 are installed at the end of the stroke of the rod 58 and piston.

Each side side 46 of the lower tier of the two-story trapezoid 42 is made in the form of a semi-rigid lever 60 with a delivery link 61. The two-story trapezoid 42 is closed by an armored casing 62.

It is possible to equip the combat corps 2 with a set of warheads with different armor and type of weapon, surveillance, detection and aiming means, as well as replacing weapons and aiming means with military-engineering devices and mechanisms.

As an option, military-engineering equipment can be installed on the pivoting device 22 of the chassis 5 of the combat corps 2, while the additional damping device 26 required during firing must be dismantled.

Alternatively, a loading platform can be installed on the pivoting device 22 of the chassis 5 of the combat building 2 for housing civil engineering equipment, such as firefighters, in the form of fire extinguishing devices or evacuating people from the fire, while the additional damping device 26 must be dismantled.

It is possible to complete trains consisting, for example, of a working building 1, a fighting building 2, engineering, fire, etc., connected by means of fifth wheel couplings installed in the places of installation of the bow 13 and stern 14 of the blocks 1, 2 .

Devices work as follows.

Articulated combat vehicle, such as self-propelled howitzer, goes to the firing position. The additional damping device 26 on the combat case 2 is remotely transferred by the mechanism 36 (Fig. 4) from the stowed position to the working position by switching on the kinematic connection by means of the rods 28, the travel increase mechanism 29 and the lever system 30 with the connection point of the rod part of the hydraulic cylinders 27 to the spinning part of the support torsion bar ice rink 32. Shooting from gun 15 (Fig. 1) is carried out from the combat building 2 under the control of the working building 1 by crew members of three people, from workplaces on the EIKS displays, after automatically whom aiming at the target by the fire control complex (not shown) through the coupling device 3 via a fiber optic cable 17 (figure 5) or by radio. Ammunition is automatically fed from the unit of automated warheads to gun 15 (Fig. 1) over the entire range of pointing angles. The mechanisms in the weapons casing 2 under the control of a remote control complex of automated fire from the working building 1 provide automatic selection of shells and charges. A shot is fired, after which 152 mm anti-recoil devices are triggered, and the vibrations of the combat housing 2 are damped by hydraulic shock absorbers 8 of the suspensions 7 and additional damping devices 26 installed in the combat housing 2 of the chassis 5 (Fig. 3). The end of the shot due to the elements of elasticity of the suspension system 7 makes the stern of the combat unit 2 settle down when firing forward. Similar to the operation of the anti-recoil device of the T-80 tank, consisting of a recoil brake and an overrun device, an additional damping device 26 is activated: first, an unstoppable brake 33 (Fig. 4), and then an overrun action 34 starts, creating a deceleration effect in the reel of the gun 15 (Fig. 1), while the settling part of the stern of the combat corps 2 rises smoothly, without jerking. In the same way, the additional damping device 26 works when shooting backward, when the nose 13 of the combat body settles 2. When shooting to the side, the opposite side of the vehicle settles and both additional damping devices 26 of the front 31 and rear 32 track rollers 23 of the opposite side are triggered. Thus, the reassurance of the combat body 2 BSM for one return stroke recoil devices 33, 34 additional damping 26 significantly reduces the time before the start of the recovery mechanisms of aiming guns 15 for the next shot. When changing the course of fire, both towers 19, 20 simultaneously rotate, tracking the target. The complex of life protection aggregates cleans the incoming air from the harmful effects of powder gases and weapons of mass destruction, fully providing comfortable conditions. At the end of the shooting, the additional damping device 26 is put into the stowed position by disconnecting the mechanism 36 (Fig. 4) from the elements of the suspension system 7 of the combat building 2.

The fifth wheel for the implementation of the articulation of the working 1 and combat 2 BSM buildings is as follows.

Depending on the movement of the machine and the applied load, the fifth wheel works 3:

1) rectilinearly, with braking, and the load acting coaxially (riding on a flat road);

2) in a straight line, with the application and action of the load in a vertical plane (riding over rough terrain);

3) maneuver of rotation in the horizontal plane.

In the first type of work, the lateral sides 45, 46 of the two-story trapezoid 42 work as levers with a delivery link 51. On the upper tier - according to the principle of the hydraulic spring: due to compression and flow through the throttle hole of the fluid into the piston or rod cavity of the hydraulic cylinders 49. On the lower tier - due to compression of the spring of the delivery link 60 in one direction or another.

In the second form, asynchronous driveshafts 53, installed in the base 43 of the two-story trapezoid 42, and the ball joint hitch 54 additionally come into operation.

In the third form - due to the operation of the sensor indicating the direction of rotation (not shown), first by hand of the driver, and at the end of the rotation, the sensor gives a signal of rectilinear movement. The ball joint hinge 54 of the semi-rigid lever 60 is unstuck on the lower tier of one of the sides 46 of the two-tier trapezoid 42, coinciding with the outer turning radius, while both sides of the upper tier 45 of the upper tier of the two-tier trapezoid 42 are articulated. In this case, when the rod 58 of the hydraulic cylinder 57 there is an intensive flow of fluid from the rod cavity into the piston cavity, and at the end of its course, damping occurs due to the installation of hydraulic lock elements 59 (Fig.6) for the extreme positions of either the rod or the pores nya. On the lower tier, the principle of actuation of the delivery link 61 on the semi-rigid lever 60, coupled with the ball joint hitch 54, is maintained.

When the BSM leaves the rotation, the rod part 58 enters the cylinder body 57 and the fluid flows in the opposite direction, from the piston cavity to the rod.

At the end of the turn, when the BSM begins to move rectilinearly, a signal is supplied from the direction direction sensor to lock the coupled ball joint 54 and the fifth wheel can continue to work according to the two previous types of work. For emergency disconnection of the working building 2 from the fighting 2 from the control compartment, a signal is issued to unstrain the ball joint 54 of all sides 45, 46 of the two-tier trapezoid 42, after which the movement can continue on the working building 1 or 2 selected for this purpose.

In the case of an enemy shell entering the combat building 2 of the BSM from the working building 1, a command is sent to the fifth wheel assembly 3. By automatically disengaging the hulls, the crew can leave the position on working 1.

In the event of the enemy’s shell getting into the BSM working building 1, the crew leaves it and leaves the position on the combat building 2, controlling it from a backup location.

At present, individual units have been manufactured that have passed stationary tests.
