Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Panzerfahrzeug mit einem auf bzw. in einer Panzerdecke angeordneten, drehbaren Turm und einer sich darauf erhebenden Schildwange als Lager für einen Waffenträger, der sein als Container ausgebildetes Patronenmagazin seitwärts (links und/oder rechts) oder oben oder unten oder hinter der Waffe lösbar verriegelt trägt.The invention relates to an armored vehicle with a rotatable turret arranged on or in a tank ceiling and a shield cheek rising thereon as a bearing for a weapon carrier, the cartridge magazine designed as a container sideways (left and / or right) or above or below or behind the Gun releasably locked.

Die in dem Patronenmagazin befindlichen Patronen können gegurtet oder ungegurtet sein, größeres oder kleineres Kaliber haben. Die Unterbringung des Patronenmagazins in einem eigenen Container ermöglicht die Mitnahme auch größerer Mengen, deren Aufnahme in dem Turm unmöglich wäre, unter Zuhilfehahme weiterer bzw. anderer Fahrzeugräume.The cartridges located in the cartridge magazine can be taped or un-taped, of larger or smaller caliber. The storage of the cartridge magazine in its own container enables the taking of larger quantities, which would be impossible to store in the tower, with the help of further or different vehicle compartments.

Nachteilig war bei den bisher bekannten Ausführungen dieser Art, daß der Ladeschütze zum Anbringen der Container an die Waffe seinen Panzerschutz aufgeben mußte. Das hatte nicht nur Zeitverlust, sondern auch eine Erhöhung an Kraftaufwendung und an Lebensgefahr zur Folge.A disadvantage of the previously known designs of this type was that the loader had to give up his armor protection to attach the containers to the weapon. This not only resulted in a loss of time, but also an increase in effort and life threatening.

Der Erfindung liegt zur Vermeidung dieser Nachteile die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Panzerfahrzeug so zu gestalten, daß das Nachladen der Container an der Außenseite des außerhalb der Panzerdecke befindlichen Waffenträgers unmittelbar aus dem Fahrzeuginnern und mit Hilfe maschineller Hilfsmittel erfolgen kann.To avoid these disadvantages, the invention is based on the object of designing the armored vehicle so that the reloading of the containers on the outside of the weapon carrier located outside the armored ceiling can take place directly from the vehicle interior and with the aid of mechanical aids.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß unterhalb der Panzerdecke und einer verschließbaren öffnung in derselben eine waagerechte Container-Verschiebebahn mit einer Container-Nachladestation angeordnet ist, daß bei einer Drehlage des Turms auf einer Indexposition und gleichzeitig bei einer Höhenwinkellage des Waffenträgers auf einer Indexposition der leergeschossene Container nach seiner Entriegelung mit Hilfe eines Transportmittels abwärts durch die öffnung in die Container-Nachladestation bringbar und der Container sodann auf der ersten Container-Verschiebebahn mittels eines nachrückenden und den Platz des leergeschossenen Containers einnehmenden, gefüllten Ersatz-Containers aus der Container-Nachladestation rückbar ist, und daß der Ersatz-Container aus der Container-Nachladestation durch die Transportmittel in die Verriegelungsposition am Waffenträger bringbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a horizontal container transfer track with a container reloading station is arranged below the armored ceiling and a closable opening in the same position, that at a rotational position of the turret at an index position and at the same time at a vertical angle position of the weapon carrier on a The index position of the empty container after it has been unlocked can be brought down through the opening into the container reloading station with the aid of a means of transport, and the container can then be moved from the container to the first container transfer track by means of a moving replacement container that takes up the space of the empty container. Reloading station can be moved, and that the replacement container can be brought out of the container reloading station by the means of transport into the locking position on the weapon carrier.

Die Erfindung integriert die Waffe mit dem FahrzeugInnern in einer'Weise, die das Nachladen unabhängig von bestehenden Türmen - und deren Größe - und gewissermaßen an ihnen vorbei mit Hilfskraftmitteln ermöglicht, und das mit relativ einfachem technischem Aufwand und jedenfalls so, daß sich der Ladeschütze zwecks Nachladens nicht aus einem Panzerschutz herausbewegen muß. Einsetzbare Transportmittel können Ketten oder von Druckmitteln betätigte Glieder sein.The invention integrates the weapon with the vehicle interior in a manner that enables reloading regardless of existing towers - and their size - and to a certain extent past them with auxiliary means, and with relatively simple technical effort and at least in such a way that the loader does not have to move out of armor protection for reloading. Transportable means can be chains or links operated by pressure means.

Für die Transportmittel kann vorteilhaft eine zweite Container-Bahn vorhanden sein, die von der Container-Nachladestation hinauf zum Waffenträger führt. Die Container-Bahn kann Führungselemente aufweisen, denen entsprechende Führungselemente an den Containern zugeordnet sind. Diese Container-Bahn ist zum Entfernen des leergeschossenen Containers vom Waffenträger und zum Heranführen des Ersatz-Containers bestimmt.A second container track can advantageously be provided for the means of transport, which leads from the container reloading station up to the weapon carrier. The container track can have guide elements to which corresponding guide elements on the containers are assigned. This container track is designed to remove the empty container from the weapon carrier and to move the replacement container.

Die Höhenwinkellage des Waffenträgers entspricht zweckmäßig dem größtmöglichen Höhenwinkel.The height angle of the weapon carrier suitably corresponds to the largest possible height angle.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Aufriß
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht
An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 is an elevation
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view

Von dem Panzerfahrzeug ist nur ein Teil seiner Panzerdecke 4 angedeutet. Aus ihr ragt ein Teil eines Turmes 3 heraus, der um eine stehende Drehachslinie A-A drehbar ist. Von dem Turm 3 erhebt sich eine Schildwange 14 als einseitiger Lagerträger für den um eine liegende Drehachslinie B-B der Höhe nach richtbaren Waffenträger 2. Der Waffenträger 2, der die eigentliche Waffe 9 hält, trägt hinten links außen das als Container 1 ausgebildete Patronenmagazin bei 10 verriegelt.Only a part of its armored roof 4 is indicated by the armored vehicle. A part of a tower 3 protrudes from it and can be rotated about a standing axis of rotation A-A. From the tower 3, a shield cheek 14 rises as a one-sided bearing support for the weapon holder 2, which can be adjusted in height about a lying axis of rotation BB .

Ist dieses Magazin leergeschossen, wird der Turm 3 auf die Indexposition 12 - Fig. 2 - gedreht und der Waffenträger 2 auf die auf den höchstmöglichen Richtwinkel eingerichtete Indexposition gerichtet, wie das in Fig. 1 mit vollausgezogenen Linien dargestellt ist. Nach Freigabe der öffnung 6 in der Panzerdecke 4 fluchtet sodann mit dem Container 1 des leergeschossenen Patronenmagazins an dem Waffenträger 2 eine Nachladestation 7 unter der Decke 4 so, daß der Abstand zwischen ihnen entlang einer schrägen Linie 1a durch ein Transportmittel, das bei 11 an dem Waffenträger 2 vorgesehen ist, überbrückt werden kann. Ist der Leercontainer nach dem Entriegeln von dem'Transportmittel 11 in die Nachladestation 7 abgesenkt worden, wird der in der Bereitschaftsstation 13 befindliche neue volle Container 5 in Richtung 5a waagerecht in die Nachladestation 7 geschoben. Dabei wird der Leercontainer aus der Nachladestation 7 in Richtung 1b weiter geschoben. Ist der neue Container 5 in der Nachladestation 7 angelangt, wird er in Richtung 5b durch das Transportmittel 11 nach oben gefördert, wobei Führungselemente 8, zu denen entsprechende Führungselemente 8' am Container passen, für eine exakte Zuführung bis zur Verriegelung 10 sorgen.If this magazine is empty, the turret 3 is rotated to the index position 12 - FIG. 2 - and the weapon carrier 2 is aimed at the index position set to the highest possible straightening angle, as shown in FIG. 1 with solid lines. After opening the opening 6 in the armored ceiling 4, a reloading station 7 is then aligned with the container 1 of the empty cartridge magazine on the weapon carrier 2 under the ceiling 4 so that the distance between them along an inclined line 1 a by a means of transport that is at 11 on the Gun carrier 2 is provided, can be bridged. If the empty container has been lowered from the transport means 11 into the reloading station 7 after unlocking, the new full container 5 located in the standby station 13 is pushed horizontally into the reloading station 7 in the direction 5a. The empty container is pushed further from the reloading station 7 in the direction 1b. When the new container 5 has reached the reloading station 7, it is conveyed upwards in the direction 5b by the transport means 11, whereby guide elements 8, to which corresponding guide elements 8 'on the container fit, ensure exact feeding up to the locking device 10.

Was vorstehend für eine Anordnung des Containers 1 links von dem Waffenträger 2 beschrieben ist, läßt sich natürlich auch für Anordnung rechts und links/ rechts durchführen, ebenso bei entsprechender Kanonenlagerung auch oben oder unten oder gegebenenfalls auch hinter der Kanone. Ebenso kann die Verschiebbarkeit in Richtung der Pfeile 5a, 1b statt wie gezeichnet auch senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene eingerichtet sein.What has been described above for an arrangement of the container 1 to the left of the weapon carrier 2 can, of course, also be carried out for an arrangement to the right and left / right, likewise with appropriate cannon storage also above or below or possibly also behind the cannon. Likewise, the displaceability in the direction of arrows 5a, 1b can also be set up perpendicular to the plane of the drawing instead of as shown.
