Description

The invention relates to the field of loading equipment, in particular to methods for loading military equipment loaded with ammunition and projectile belts (hereinafter referred to as ammunition (AM)) under enemy fire conditions.

From the prior art, a device is known in the form of a transport-loading vehicle, which is an armored tracked vehicle made on a tank chassis, equipped with equipment for loading, transporting, loading unguided rockets, a launcher for a combat vehicle and refueling it with fuel, (see Description for Patent of the Russian Federation for the invention No. 2194234 "Transport-loading machine" Published on December 10, 2002, Bulletin No. 34. Authors: Vandyaev I.M., Kokorev I.M., etc. Patentee: Federal State Unitary Enterprise Design Bureau of Transport Engineering. Open edition ).

The transport-loading vehicle has increased tactical and technical capabilities and ease of operation and maintenance, while ensuring reliable protection of the crew, equipment and ammunition.

Also known is a device for loading, unloading and loading a rocket containing a traverse having a connection unit with a lifting device and equipped with elements for fixing a rocket, and guides having a docking assembly with the guide of the combat vehicle. The guides are located on the traverse, and the elements for fixing the rocket are made in the guides, (see the Description of the RF patent for the invention No. Balakhonov V.V., Marinets O.N., Plaksin V.N., Sukhanov L.G. Patentee: Open Joint Stock Company for Special Machine Building and Metallurgy “Motovilikhinskiye Zavody”, open edition).

Like a transport-loading vehicle, this device reduces the size and simplifies the loading process by providing the possibility of loading a rocket into the combat vehicle guide from a traverse connected to a lifting device.

A common disadvantage of the above technical solutions is that their design does not allow crews to load ammunition for an infantry fighting vehicle or armored personnel carrier (hereinafter referred to as a combat vehicle (BM)), especially under enemy fire conditions.

In addition, a device in the form of a ladder is known, including outer and inner sections with the possibility of changing the length and installation angle of the ladder, (see Description of the RF patent for utility model No. 172434 "Mobile repair shop". Published on 07/07/2017, Bull. 19. Authors: Sergeev A.Yu., Kovalev V.P., Slutsky K.A. Patentee: Limited Liability Company “PREMPCS”, open edition). This technical solution, as the closest in essence to the technical problem being solved, was chosen as a prototype.

The technical solution was implemented on a mobile repair shop and allows to increase the reliability of the internal equipment of combat vehicles to reduce the amount of dirt and dust from the shoes and clothes of repairmen. However, it also does not allow solving the problem of loading ammunition from armored vehicles to armored vehicles without the crews leaving them under the conditions of enemy fire with small arms and mine weapons.

The objective of the present invention is to create a device that is simple in design, mobile, quickly assembled and quickly collapsible, durable, light in weight and with minimal dimensions, to ensure the loading of ammunition from one BM to another BM, without the crews leaving their vehicles, under fire conditions. impact of the enemy with small arms and mine weapons.

The technical result of the proposed invention is to ensure the mobility of the device, the possibility of placing and transporting it as part of the BM, ease of manufacture, reducing the time to bring it into working condition and back without leaving the crews from their BM.

The technical solution of the proposed invention is the use as part of the method of two metal guides with folding crossbars having hooks, a tray with rollers with two fasteners for two ropes with handles.

At the same time, the essence of the method of loading BC into BM under the conditions of enemy fire is that when loading BC from one BM to another, both vehicles are located at a distance of open landing hatches (ramps). Loading is carried out without the crews getting out of their vehicles, which reduces the likelihood of them being hit by small arms fire and fragments of enemy mine weapons. From the landing compartment with the landing hatch (ramp) of one BM open, a device is installed into the landing compartment with the landing hatch of another BM open, which is a flooring along which the tray loaded with ammunition can move. The crew of the BM, into which the BC is loaded, holding the handle, by the force of the hands, pulls a tray fastened with a rope into the troop compartment, which moves, moving the BC from one vehicle to another.

показаны направления передвижения лотка с роликами 11 и рукояток 8.The invention is illustrated in FIG. 1-2, which show a diagram of a device that ensures the operation of the method of loading ammunition into a combat vehicle under enemy fire, where: 1 - BC; 2 - the first BM; 3 - second BM; 4 - landing hatch; 5 - folding crossbars; 6 - hooks; 7 - metal guides; 8 - handle; 9 - mount; 10 - rope; 11 - tray with rollers. Arrows

the directions of movement of the tray with rollers 11 and handles 8 are shown.

At present, the experience of warfare, especially in urban areas, indicates a high consumption of ammunition used in the composition of the BM (2.8 times compared to the time of the Great Patriotic War). In this connection, timely replenishment of the BC is required. An analysis of hostilities shows that the ammunition for the BMP-2, BMP-3 and BTR-80(82) ends within a few hours of firing, while the probability of hitting the BM by enemy fire increases in the event of untimely replenishment of the ammunition, including its loading into the BM with the abandonment of their firing positions. The delivery of ammunition by the forces of the battalion's support platoon to the front line to the BM from the rear positions is associated with a high probability of hitting the supporting units. In this regard, it is proposed from less involved firing positions to ensure the transportation of ammunition for BMs equipped with belts, which require replenishment of ammunition with other BMs capable of repelling enemy fire directly upon delivery with their main armament.

Unloading is carried out by direct approach of the BM in the area of open landing hatches (ramp), while excluding the exit of crews from the BM. Ammunition for the main armament of the BM is equipped in advance in belts, and ammunition for small arms is placed in zinc.

The proposed loading method is implemented using a mobile device capable of moving in a folded position in the BM troop compartment. Immediately before reloading the BC from one CV to another CV, the device unfolds, being placed in the side or aft openings of the troop compartments of the CV with the landing hatches (ramps) open. All elements of the device are made of durable and lightweight metal alloy.

The device in the unfolded state is placed, leaning on the side or aft openings of the troop compartments, and with the help of hooks placed on two opposite sides of the metal guides.

Two metal guides are designed to ensure the movement of the rollers placed on the trolley along them. Also, metal guides are connected by folding crossbars, which provide the device with the necessary rigidity and are laid out to the width of the trolley. Folding crossbars are metal plates with stiffeners, each of which is attached to a metal guide at one end, and connected to each other by loops at the other end.

The tray with rollers is designed to accommodate loaded tapes with ammunition in it, and has the ability to move freely from one edge of the rails to the other due to the rotation of the rollers running along the metal guides. Also, the tray has attachments for two ropes with handles on both sides so that the crew to which the BC is loaded, holding the handle with their hands, pulls it towards themselves, ensuring the movement of the tray loaded with BC from the second machine. The tray moves back to the BM, which provides the delivery of the BC, when the crew of the second BC pulls the second handle in its direction, moving the already empty tray towards itself for its subsequent loading of the BC.

An example of how the method works. When loading BC 1 from the first BM 2 into the opening of the troop compartment of the second BM 3 with the troop hatch 4 open, the device is placed, resting it on the openings of the troop compartments, having previously opened the folding crossbars 5. The hooks 6 located on the metal guides 7 securely fix the device between the machines . The crew of the machine that needs to load BC 1 pulls the handle 8, connected through the mount 9 and a rope 10 and a tray with rollers 11. The tray with rollers 11 loaded with BC 1 is set in motion, rolling along metal guides 7. An overload of BC 1 from the first BM is provided. 2 into the second BM 3 without the crew getting out of the vehicles.

Thus, the proposed technical solution makes it possible to ensure the loading of ammunition from one BM to another, excluding the exit of crews from their BMs, which increases their survivability on the battlefield.
