Description

DEUTSCHESGERMAN

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Gewichtsausgleich für Waffen, deren Schwerpunkt nicht in der Schildzapfenachse liegt, mit einer zur Veränderung des Drehmoments und zur Anpassung an den Kraftverlauf der Ausgleicherkraft über ein Segment mit entsprechender Kurvenform geführten Kette. Bei einer bekannten Ausführung dieser Art wälzt sich die Kette auf einer glatten Nockenkontur des Segments ab; dies läßt einen wirksamen Krafthebelarm resultieren, der von mehreren Faktoren abhängig ist, von denen beispielsweise der Reibungskoeffizient und Kettendehnung im Segmentumschlingungsbereich unkontrollierbar sind. Die Abnutzung der Nockenkontur des Segments durch die schlagartigen Stößen unterliegende Lastübertragung zwischen Kette und Segment und die Kettenaufhängung an einem einzigen Bolzen am Ende des Segments sind Nachteile dieser bekannten Ausführung.The invention relates to a counterbalance for weapons whose focus is not in the Trunnion axis is located, with one to change the torque and to adapt to the force curve the balancing force via a segment with a corresponding curve shape. at In a known embodiment of this type, the chain rolls on a smooth cam contour of the segment away; this results in an effective force lever arm which is dependent on several factors which, for example, the coefficient of friction and chain elongation in the segment wrap area are uncontrollable are. The wear and tear of the cam contour of the segment due to the sudden impacts underlying it Load transfer between chain and segment and the chain suspension on a single one Bolts at the end of the segment are disadvantages of this known design.

Dieser Mangel soll mit der Erfindung behoben werden. Dies gelingt in überraschend einfacher Weise dadurch, daß gemäß der Erfindung die Kette als Rollenkette ausgebildet ist, deren Glieder in eine längs der Segmentkurve angebrachte Verzahnung eingreifen. Durch die zahnkämmende Abwälzung der Kette bestimmt die jeweilige Ablaufstelle der Kette von der Segmentkurve eindeutig den wirksamen Krafthebelarm und sichert eine einwandfreie Lastübertragung ohne Abnutzungsgefahr. Die Erfindung schafft damit auch die Voraussetzung für eine besonders einfache, billige, leichte und raumsparende Ausbildung des Gewichtsausgleichs, wie sie vor allem bei Kraftfahrzeuglafetten oder in sehr kleinen Panzerkuppeln erwünscht ist. Besonders einfach wird die Ausführung, wenn die verzahnte Segmentkurve gemäß der Erfindung auf einem Bauteil sitzt, der fest an die Schildzapfenachse der Waffe aufgeflanscht ist.This deficiency is intended to be remedied with the invention. This is achieved in a surprisingly simple manner in that, according to the invention, the chain is designed as a roller chain, the links of which in a Engage the teeth attached along the segment curve. Through the tooth-combing shifting of the The chain clearly determines the respective point of the chain from the segment curve which is effective Power lever arm and ensures perfect load transfer without the risk of wear and tear. The invention This also creates the prerequisites for a particularly simple, cheap, light and space-saving training of counterbalancing, as it is especially in vehicle mounts or in very small armored domes is desirable. The execution is particularly simple if the toothed segment curve according to the invention sits on a component that is firmly flanged to the trunnion axis of the weapon.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigtAn embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing. It shows

Fig. 1 die Ansicht der Waffe in horizontaler Lage, Fig. 2 eine Ansicht der hochgeschwenkten Waffe,Fig. 1 is a view of the weapon in a horizontal position, Fig. 2 is a view of the weapon pivoted up,

Fig. 3 eine Ansicht der Segmentkurve mit Kette und Zugfeder in größerem Maßstab bei horizontaler Waffenlage,Fig. 3 is a view of the segment curve with chain and tension spring on a larger scale with a horizontal Weapon situation,

Fig. 4 eine Ansicht wie Fig. 3, jedoch bei hochgeschwenkter Waffe.FIG. 4 shows a view like FIG. 3, but with the weapon swiveled up.

Wird die Waffe 1 auf- und abgeschwenkt, so bewegt sich der auf der Schildzapfenachse 3 aufgeflanschte Bauteil 2 mit. Dieser Bauteil trägt ein Segment mit entsprechend geformter Kurve 2', längs welcher eine Verzahnung angebracht ist. Eine am Segmentende befestigte Rollenkette 4 greift mit ihren Gliedern in diese Verzahnung ein und rollt sich auf der Segmentkurve 2' ab. Das andere Ende der Rollenkette 4 ist an einer Zugfeder 5 befestigt; diese wieder-Gewichtsausgleich für Waffen,If the weapon 1 is swiveled up and down, the one flanged on the trunnion axis 3 moves Component 2 with. This component carries a segment with a correspondingly shaped curve 2 ', longitudinally which a toothing is attached. A roller chain 4 attached to the segment end engages with her Part in this toothing and rolls on the segment curve 2 '. The other end of the roller chain 4 is attached to a tension spring 5; this re-counterbalance for weapons,

um ist an der Lafetten-Traverse 6 innerhalb einer Panzerkuppel 7 eingehängt. Durch die Auf- und Abbewegung der Waffe 1 wird die vorgespannte Zugfeder 5 länger oder kürzer ausgezogen. Diese übt dadurch eine verschieden starke Zugkraft über die Rollenkette 4 auf den Bauteil 2 aus. Die verschieden großen Zugfederkräfte greifen wiederum an verschieden großen Segmentarmen an. Dadurch ergibt sich eine kleine Zugfederkraft am großen Segmentarm, eine große Zugfederkraft am kleinen Segmentarm, und zwar so, daß in jeder zwischen —10 und +80° Erhöhung verschwenkbaren Waffenstellung ein Drehmoment erzeugt wird, welches die Waffe im gesamten Schwenkbereich im Gleichgewicht hält.to is on the carriage traverse 6 within a Armored dome 7 attached. By moving the weapon 1 up and down, the tension spring is pre-tensioned 5 pulled out longer or shorter. This exerts a different tensile force over the roller chain 4 on component 2. The tension spring forces of different magnitudes, in turn, act differently large segment arms. This results in a small tension spring force on the large segment arm, one large tension spring force on the small segment arm, so that in each between -10 and + 80 ° increase pivotable weapon position a torque is generated, which the weapon in the entire Keeps the swivel range in balance.
