Description

The invention relates to the field of preparing artillery instruments for combat use and concerns work with an artillery compass, for example, PAB-2M, at night or in conditions of poor visibility.

The periscopic artillery compass PAB-2M is known, used to measure magnetic azimuths, horizontal and vertical angles on the ground and distances to points on the ground using the rangefinder method with an external base and consisting of a compass, tripod, periscope, illuminator kit and staff kit (Periscopic artillery compass PAB-2M. Technical description and operating instructions BL 1.500.009 TO [Electronic resource]. URL: https://clck.ru/3933ri). When using it at night, an illuminator is used, consisting of a battery, to which a plug-in connector is connected, to the ends of the wires of which a portable lamp socket, a grid lamp socket and a pole are attached, rigidly connected to the clamp, installed on the compass tube and secured with a clamping screw. The pole provides sighting in daytime and nighttime conditions.

The disadvantages of this illuminator include the complexity of the design, the sensitivity of incandescent lamps to vibrations and impacts, the large time costs for installation on the artillery compass and its removal, the difficulty of replacing the battery, and the large weight of the device.

A device is known for adjusting the zero line of sight of tank guns using built-in control at night or in poor visibility conditions (RU 2 227 890), which includes a rear sight on the muzzle of the barrel, a long-focus lens and a prism between the protective glass and the head of the sight-rangefinder, a light-emitting diode indicating the center of the rear sight in poor visibility conditions, which is fixed to the rear sight with a fastening device, while power is supplied to the light-emitting diode through a cable with an electrical conversion unit from a socket located on the front armor plate of the tank.

The disadvantages of this device include the need to connect it using wires to the socket of the power generating unit, the need for an external power source, and the complexity of the design.

The aim of the invention is to develop a compact device for an artillery compass that ensures precise aiming at night or in poor visibility conditions, simplifies the design, makes it possible to use removable batteries, reduces the time of installation and removal on the compass tube, and eliminates the unmasking of the installation site of the artillery compass.

The technical result is the creation of a convenient and compact device for ensuring visibility of the aiming direction at night or in conditions of poor visibility to prevent unmasking the installation site of the artillery compass.

This is achieved by the fact that the artillery compass pole contains a housing in which a unified compartment for two AA or AAA batteries is installed, a switch, a cap inside which a translucent light diffuser and an LED are installed, a cover, while the cap can rotate and is made with a slit, the opening angle of which is not less than 50 ° and not more than 90 °. In addition, the cover of the device is made as a single block with an open clip with a diameter 0.05-0.1 mm smaller than the diameter of the compass tube, and the translucent light diffuser is made colored with a degree of translucency of at least 50%.

The invention is explained by diagrams, where Fig. 1 shows a top view of the artillery compass pole, Fig. 2 - section A-A.

The artillery compass consists of a body 1 with a cap 2, held on the body 1 by a ring 3 and capable of rotation, inside the cap 2 a hollow translucent light diffuser 4 is installed, made of color, and a light-emitting diode 5 fixed in the opening of the housing 1, the electric current to the light-emitting diode 5 comes from two batteries 6 installed in the battery compartment 7, when the switch button 8 is turned on. The battery compartment 7 is closed by a cover 9 with an open clip for quick installation on the compass tube (not shown conditionally) and its removal. The diameter of the open clip d is less than the diameter of the compass tube by 0.05-0.1 mm, which ensures a tight fit and retention of the device on the compass tube.

The cap 2 is made with a slit, the opening angle of which α is not less than 50° and not more than 90°, through the slit in the cap 2 the light from the LED 5 and the translucent light diffuser 4 comes out and provides visibility of the aiming direction at night or in poor visibility conditions to prevent unmasking the installation site of the PAB-2M artillery compass. Selection of a colored translucent light diffuser 4 is associated with its good visibility at night or in poor visibility conditions (precipitation, fog), as well as in winter conditions. Depending on the conditions of use, the color of the translucent light diffuser can be orange, white, red, blue, green. Cap 2 can rotate around its axis, which ensures visibility of the compass pole when installing an artillery compass on the side of the gun.

To ensure the accuracy of the aiming direction adjustment, the center of the open clip on the cover 9 and the axis of the translucent light diffuser 4 coincide.

To replace batteries 6 installed in battery compartment 8, cover 9 is opened, batteries 6 are removed, charged batteries 6, observing polarity, are installed in battery compartment 8 and closed with cover 9.

The artillery compass's aiming compass works as follows.

At night or in poor visibility conditions, the artillery compass pole is mounted on the compass tube (not shown) by means of a clip on cover 9. The required aiming angles are set on the artillery compass, after which cap 2 is turned so that the slit is directed at the gunners, switch 8, located on body 1, is turned on, providing voltage supply from batteries 6, installed in battery compartment 8, to LED 5, the light falls on translucent light diffuser 4. The gunner carries out aiming.

After shooting is completed, the voltage supply to LED 5 is stopped by pressing switch 8 and the device is removed from the compass tube (not shown).
