Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of gripping devices for shells and in particular for large caliber shells.
- mechanized loading means such as cranes described in US5604327. It will be noted that the crane described by this patent has at its lifting end a shell gripping means for grasping the shells from a storage station and then depositing them on a loading stretcher.
- the guiding of this operation is done manually taking into account the required precision, but the seizure and the release of the shell are done mechanically which strike the time of transfer of the shell between its initial place of storage and its place of installation final.
- the gripping means is relatively complex and cumbersome which requires more skill on the part of the operator and ultimately degrades the rate of fire.
- the invention proposes to solve the problem of complexity of the gripping means and therefore, the invention also proposes to improve the rate of transfer of the shells and the feed rate of an artillery piece.
- the invention relates to a gripping device for shells comprising a spreader comprising between its two ends a hooking point intended to allow the attachment of a hoist hook
- gripping device for shells characterized in that it comprises at a first end or front end a first hoop openwork comprising a first air gap and intended to support the nose of a shell, a gripping device comprising at a second end or a rear end a second open arch having a second gap and intended to support the base of the shell, the first and second hoops having an internal diameter substantially greater than the part of the shell which passes through them, the device also comprising at the level of the second hoop an abutment means intended to limit the translation of the shell towards the rear end .
- the device comprises a locking means intended to bear on one side of the shell opposite to the gap of an arch.
- the locking means comprises a cam intended to bear on the shell, cam articulated on the rudder by a pivot connection.
- the internal diameter of the first arch is smaller than the largest diameter of the shell.
- the abutment means comprises a shim located at a distance D from the second arch and intended to bear on the rear face of the base.
- the abutment means consists of an internal diameter of the second arch lower than the maximum diameter of the base.
- each arch has a handle.
- the attachment point is located closer to the front end than the rear end of the rudder.
- the invention also relates to a method for gripping a shell in which such a device is implemented, the method comprising the following steps:
- Figure 1 shows a three-quarter view of a device according to the invention carrying a shell.
- Figure 2 shows a three-quarter view of a first step of entering a shell.
- Figure 3 shows a three-quarter view of a second shell entry step.
- Figure 4 shows a three-quarter view of a third shell entry step.
- Figure 5 shows a three-quarter view of a fourth shell entry step.
- Figure 6 shows a front axial view of a device according to the invention carrying a shell.
- a device 1 for grasping a shell 10 comprises a spreader 2.
- This beam 2 is a bar comprising a hole 3 constituting a hooking point 3 intended for lifting. It is possible to insert in this piercing 3 a shackle 4 or directly a hoist hook for lifting the device 1.
- a first end A (or front end) of the rudder 2 carries a first hoop 5 which has a substantially circular frame 5 which is interrupted by an opening 6 forming a first air gap 6 of spacing E1.
- This first air gap 6 is located, on the first arch 5, opposite the location where the crossbar 2 is secured to the first arch 5.
- the first arch 5 is fixed to the spreader 2 for example by welding.
- a second end of the beam 2 (or rear end B) carries a second arch 7 which has a substantially circular reinforcement 7 which is interrupted by an opening 8 forming a second air gap 8 E2 spacing.
- This air gap 8 is located, relative to the second arch 7, opposite the place where the crossbar 2 is secured to the second arch 7.
- the second arch 7 is fixed to the crossbar 2 for example by welding.
- the first arch 5 is intended to support the ogive 9 of a shell 10 by bearing thereof on the inside of the first arch 5 in the vicinity of the first gap 6.
- the second arch 7 is intended to support the base 11 of the shell 10 by bearing it on the inside of the second arch 7 in the vicinity of the second gap 8.
- the second arch 7 comprises a stop means 12 for limiting the translation of the shell 10 towards the rear end B of the lifter.
- This abutment means 12 comprises a shim 12 situated at a distance D from the second arch 7 (FIG. 5) and which is intended to bear on the rear face of the base 11 (the distance D will be better seen in FIG. 5).
- the inner diameters 01 and 02 of each arch 5 and 7 are significantly greater than the external diameters ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 of the transverse portions of the shells which are respectively supported by the arches 5 and 7.
- the spacings E1 and E2 of the air gaps 6 and 8 are, however, less than the external diameters ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 of the aforementioned shell portions to enable the support of the shell.
- This characteristic is more particularly visible in FIG. 6 as regards the first arch 5 and the ogive 9.
- the internal diameters 01 and 02 of the arches 5 and 7 are greater than those of the shell portions which pass therethrough so as to allow a certain freedom of movement in longitudinal translation of the device relative to the shell to allow its grip and its deposit according to the method described below.
- the maximum external width of the hoops 5 and 7 may also be chosen to be smaller than the maximum diameter 0max of the shell 10 so that the device 1 does not interfere with a possible chute for removing the shell at the level of a piece of artillery (chute and part not represented).
- the air gaps 6 and 8 of the arches 5 and 7 make it possible to limit the amplitude of the gripping movements and to deposit the shell 10 as described below, which considerably improves the speed of supply of the weapon.
- the air gaps also make it possible to avoid interference of the device with a surface on which the shell rests during its seizure or removal.
- the inner diameter 01 of the first arch 5 may be smaller than the maximum diameter 0max of the shell 10 so as to limit the translation of the shell 10 towards the front end A of the device.
- the shim 12 of the abutment means 12 by a simple appropriate choice of the internal diameter 02 of the second arch 8 which will be smaller than the maximum diameter of the base 11 of the shell (for this the base 11 must be conical).
- the diameter 02 will be chosen such that the possible displacement of the shell towards the rear part B of the device 1 until its abutment against the second arch 7 is sufficiently reduced so that the first hoop 5 still maintains the bomb's ogive.
- the length of the rudder 2 will be chosen so that, when the base 11 of the shell 10 bears against the abutment means 12, the arches 5 and 7 are positioned at the level of shell portions 10 whose external diameters ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are greater than the spacings E1 and E2 of the gaps 6 and 8. Thus the shell 10 rests well on the parts of the arches 5 and 7 adjacent air gaps 6 and 8.
- the device 1 comprises a locking means 14.
- the locking means 14 comprises a cam 14 which is pivotally mounted on an axis 18 relative to the spreader 2 and which is actuable by means of a handle 15.
- the cam 14 thus bears on a part of the body of the shells located opposite the gaps 6 and 8 and pushes the shell body to the air gaps 6 and 8.
- the handle 15 will be fixed to the cam so that the support of the cam 14 on the shell body is done automatically by simple action of gravity on the handle 15.
- the attachment point 3 is located slightly in front of the center of gravity of the shell 10 so that, when the device carrying the shell is raised at this point 3, the assembly is slightly pointing the warhead 10 to the top so as to favor the removal of the shell on a weapon stretcher with a high pointage in site (stretcher and unrepresented weapon).
- the device 1 comprises handles 16 and 17 at each of the arches 5 and 7 in order to promote the manipulation of the device 1 by an operator (operator not shown).
- the method of gripping shells will now be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5.
- a shell 10 is placed, waiting to be gripped, on a surface, such as the ground or a pallet of loading, (surface not shown).
- the device 1 is placed in a situation leaning towards the front of the shell so as to have the first arch 5 positioned lower than the second arch 7 which is situated above the shell 10.
- the device 1 is translated (arrow Tl) by an operator (operator not shown) towards the rear of the shell 10 by passing the nose 9 through the first arch 5.
- the translation is interrupted when the second arch 7 is located behind the base 11 of the shell 10 as in FIG.
- the first arch 5 is then on an outer diameter 03 of the nose 9, which may be equivalent to the inner diameter 01 of the first arch 5, this in the case where it was chosen to have an inner diameter 01 of the first arch 5 less than the maximum diameter 0max of the shell 10 and therefore less than the maximum diameter of the warhead 9.
- the device 1 is then tilted (FIG. 3, arrow RI) so that the second arch 7 is positioned substantially coaxially with the shell (as in FIG. 4).
- a translational movement (FIG. 4, arrow T2) of the device 1 towards the front of the shell 10 is then operated. parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shell until the base 11 of the shell bears on the abutment means 12.
- the device 1 is then progressively raised by a hoist (arrow T3) thus allowing the shell 10 to rest on the parts of the arches 5 and 7 adjacent to the air gaps 6 and 8.
- the operator then actuates the means blocking 14 (arrow R2) so that the latter bears in the direction of the air gaps 6 and 8 to prevent the shell 10, during any jolts, from translating into the device 1 which would risk cause the shell to fall.
- the second arch 7 is situated at a sufficient distance D from the abutment means 12 and therefore from the rear face of the shell 10, in order to ensure a reserve of security for the maintenance of the rear of the shell. shell 10 by the second arch 7 in case of accidental translation of the shell forward A of the device 1.
- the removal of the shell 10 is done by unrolling the process in the opposite direction.
