Launcher includes a base, a movable pack of guiding tubes with the possibility of orientating in the elevation angle and azimuth and two drives. Launching tubes are arranged fanwise along the hyperboloid generatrices and are articulated with two spaced apart discs, each of which is kinematically connected to the drives. Hinged supports of the guiding tubes are movably connected to slides having the possibility of synchronous movement by means of rack-and-pinion mechanisms along radial slots made in one of the spaced apart discs. Structure of the launcher is designed able to be disassembled into two mechanisms – a rotary-support one and a replaceable pack of guiding tubes.

Description

The invention relates to the field of armaments, in particular to rocket-cannon launchers.

Known launcher for launching missiles (Pat. RU 2238505), containing a base, movable with the possibility of orientation in elevation and azimuth, a package of launch tubes arranged in the form of a cone fan-shaped converging their axes in the center of the drive unit

A disadvantage of the known design are significant overall dimensions.

Known launcher for launching missiles (Pat. RU 2466342), containing a base, movable with the possibility of orientation in elevation and azimuth, a package of launch tubes arranged fan-shaped along the generators of the hyperboloid of rotation and pivotally connected to two spaced apart disks kinematically connected to the drives.

A disadvantage of the known design is the insufficiently effective damaging effect of the rocket (cannon ammunition) when destroying highly maneuverable high-speed targets, which reduces the effectiveness of the launcher as a whole.

The technical result achieved by the invention is to increase the effectiveness of the launcher due to the concentration of the damaging effect of the rocket (cannon ammunition), accompanied by highly maneuverable high-speed targets with the ability to mount, dismantle and transport the launcher by combat crew for a quick change of combat position, as well as simplicity and reliability of the design .

The specified technical result is achieved in that the launcher for rocket-cannon armament contains a base that is movable with the possibility of orientation along the elevation angle and in azimuth a packet of guide tubes arranged fan-shaped along the generators of the hyperboloid and pivotally connected to two spaced apart disks, two drives, each of which kinematically connected with the corresponding spaced disc, characterized in that the articulated bearings of the guide tubes are movably connected to the sliders, which have the ability to synchronously move radial slots made in one of the spaced apart disks, relative to the axial line of the launcher, by means of rack-and-pinion mechanisms driven by a separate reversible drive.

The design of the launcher is made with the possibility of disassembling into two mechanisms - a slewing ring and a removable package of guide tubes, eliminating the need for special lifting equipment for installation at the position and during transportation.

Slider gears for each pair of guide tubes made in the form of rack-and-pinion gears are located one above the other and are driven by a common gear rigidly connected to a separate reversible drive.

The launcher contains a base 1, guide tubes 2, fan-shaped along the hyperboloid generators in the hinges 3 and 4, mounted respectively in the supports 5 and 6 of the spaced apart disks 7 and 8, while the supports 5 are rigidly connected to the sliders 9, which can synchronously move along the divided the slots of the disk 7 relative to the center line of the launcher by means of rack-and-pinion mechanisms 10, driven by a separate reversible drive 11, and the disk 8 is connected to the drive motor 12 through a gear gear 13 and a gear wheel 14, while the drive motor 15 is directly connected to the spaced disc 7, while the guide tubes 2 are movable relative to the hinges 4 and stationary relative to the hinges 3. The base 1 of the launcher consists of a support cone 16, rigidly attached to the disk 8 and movably connected with the help of bearing bearings 17 and 18 with the base housing 1. Discs 7 and 8 with pipes 2 and supporting cone 16 constitute a replaceable package of guide pipes.

Aiming the launcher on the target in the early warning mode can be carried out according to the schemes depicted in FIG. 3-6. At the same time, shooting can be carried out both for one target, but for several targets at the same time, depending on the target designation and selection of air targets. At the initial moment, the launcher is in its initial position, as shown in FIG. 1. First, an electric signal is supplied from the control system to the drive motor 12, which then, depending on the direction of rotation, turns the disk 8 through a gear 13, providing the necessary direction to the pipes 2 (see Figs. 3, 5 and 6). Aiming the launcher on the target in the high-altitude detection mode above the installation will be carried out according to the schemes shown in FIG. 9 and 10. Shooting can also be carried out both for one target and for several targets simultaneously, depending on target designation and selection of air targets. The launcher from any position returns to its original position, while simultaneously carrying out the dilution of the guide tubes so that an external cone forms from the axial lines of the guide tube package (see Figs. 9, 10). When the launcher is brought to its initial position, an electric signal is supplied from the control system to the reversing drive 11, which, by means of the rack-and-pinion mechanism 10, moves the sliders 9 together with the supports 3 and movably fixed guide tubes 2 in the radial direction from the center line of the launcher. Aiming the launcher on the target in the near detection mode can be carried out according to the schemes shown in FIG. 11 and 12. In this case, firing should be carried out on one target from one pair of guide tubes with a minimum launch interval of the striking munition. Shooting can be resumed from another pair of guide tubes with a change in the angle of their inclination to the center line of the launcher for guaranteed destruction of the target. When the launcher is in the initial position, an electrical signal is supplied from the control system to the reversing drive 11, which, by means of the rack-and-pinion mechanism 10, moves the sliders 9 together with the supports 3 and movably fixed guide tubes 2 in the radial direction to the axial line of the launcher.

Installation and dismantling of the launcher in a combat position is reduced to the installation and fastening of the base 1, which acts as a slewing gear, and the engagement (or removal from it) of the gear gear 13 and the gear 14, made in one piece with the support cone 16 as well as the connection of the package of guide tubes with the drive motor 15 using a spline or key connection.

This launcher has a relatively small overall dimensions, allows for quick deployment from the starting position to the combat and provides a large target capture zone at relatively high response rates to changes in air and surface conditions.
