Definitions

• the invention relates to a throwing machine with magazine, which has a large straightening range in azimuth and with which splinter ammunition is also safely fired.
• the DE 37 05 700 A1 describes a Werferiser consisting of a plurality of modules.
• the modules have an annular base body and attached thereto, shooting cup receiving launch tubes.
• the modules are mounted on a shaft and can be rotated around the shaft's longitudinal axis. Provided is that the rotary shaft relative to the vertical has a low employment.
• the modules can also be rotated about their horizontal support shaft via an additional drive.
• the individual litter cups are arranged offset in height and offset from one another in such a way that, in the event of a joint firing activation of all the launcher belonging to the unit, a fog fan is generated.
• a mounted on a combat vehicle litter system with a fixed to the outside of the vehicle holder relates to DE 100 08 198 A1.
• this holder a plurality of units are rotatably arranged in azimuth, each having a throw cup used in a cup carrier block. This is below a predetermined, the elevation of the throwing system determining acute angle to the bottom surface of the cup carrier block.
• Each cup carrier block is fixedly arranged in the frame part which is rotatably mounted in the holder about a rotation axis perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cup carrier block.
• a directional azimuth launcher is known.
• the launch guide is driven in constant rotation about the vertical axis of the stator of the launcher.
• the triggering device consists of a stator, arranged according to the desired trigger angle adjustable trigger and a trigger receiver rotating with the launch guide. Directed firing is then effected when the firing guide is in the desired direction.
• the device allows a directional shot without directing the entire launch guide.
• the launch guides are annularly rotated together around the axis of rotation.
• the launch guides have a radial orientation.
• a height offset is achieved in that the launch guides are arranged with different elevation angle in the rotating ring. Even with a plurality of triggers, these are activated (in terms of time) one after the other. With a simultaneous activation, a successive tripping is realized by the electrical / constructive involvement of the contacts.
• DE 37 06 213 C2 deals with throwing cups for projectiles, in which the firing takes place by electrical ignition of a propellant charge.
• an electrical contact insert is used in a fixed to the outside of the throwing cup pipe socket piece.
• a litter system with a rotating about its own axis Abschusstrommel is known.
• the litter system is used to bring throwing bodies, which are located in launch tubes, which are arranged in a circle around an axis of rotation. Only the projectile is fired, which is in a firing position.
• the Abschusstrommel is preferably designed as a removable magazine.
• the invention has as its object to show a throwing machine with a large straightening range, with which splinter ammunition can be safely fired.
• the invention is based on the idea of integrating the litter beakers of the litter system, which are arranged in a drum shape around a common axis of rotation similar to DE 10 2005 020 177 A1, in a predetermined or predeterminable elevation angle in the drum, so that several beakers at a winke of approx 30 ° to 60 ° form a directional range of the thrower of> 350 °.
• the ignition voltage is conducted via a slip ring transformer to the throwing cups. At the same time several litter cups are ignitable. Preferred is a fixed adjustment of the elevation angle for the cup. This reduces the design effort.
• a slip ring transformer it is alternatively possible to include the cup in the drum so that an individual elevation angle is adjustable.
• the slip ring transmission and thus the ignition circuit is interrupted.
• the secured state of the launcher is detected on the outside, an additional mechanical interlocking, automated or manual, hinders unintentional unlocking of the launcher.
• the drum is interchangeable, which makes the launcher more universal, since different launcher arrangements can be used when the elevation angle of the cups is fixed.
• the mounting location can also be changed.
• 1 is a throwing machine with eight shooting cups
• Fig. 4 is an electrically operated latch for the throwing machine.
• FIG. 1 litter or launcher 1 is shown here with eight launch cups 2.
• the launching cup 2 form in different fixed elevation angles a drum 4. This is about a drum rotation axis R rotatably mounted.
• the lines of action of the launcher 2 go directly through the axis of rotation R.
• FIG. 2 shows a drive 5 mounted in the drum axis. The drive is fixedly connected to the housing 6 of the throwing machine 1. About a mounting flange 7, the projector 1 on / on a vehicle or object to be protected (not shown in detail) are mounted.
• the firing signal for the projectile 3 is transmitted via a slip ring 11 on the located on the drum 4 slip ring 12. Thereafter, it is guided by the slip ring 12 via a wiring 13 to the contacts 14 (ignition contacts).
• Fig. 3 shows the disassembled drum 4 with the slip ring 12th
• the ignition circuit can thus be separated by positioning the drum 4.
• the drum 4 can also be mechanically locked by a bolt. This position simultaneously represents a lashing of the thrower 1.
• Fig. 4 shows an electrically operated lock 9. In case of failure of the electric drive 5 can be unlocked and directed by an emergency 10 of the launcher 1.
• the position of the drum 4 is detected by a sensor 8.
• the control of the launcher 1 via a power electronics, which is not shown.
• the destination assignment is conventional, for example via an existing destination device.
