Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monitoring device for late detonators for an externally powered gun, with an ammunition feed housing in which a switch is slidably mounted, which, in the event of a delay in ignition, redirects the cartridges supplied to the weapon into an ejection channel and these remain on an endless chain.
  • the cartridges are transported by a star wheel into the weapon housing and are pushed there into one or more gun barrels by one or more locks. After the cartridges have been fired, the empty cases are pulled out of the barrel and ejected. If the ignition is delayed, the cartridge is no longer pulled out of the barrel and no more cartridges may be added. The cartridges fed through the star wheel are therefore no longer fed to the weapon, but instead are returned on an endless chain. For this purpose, a switch is switched in the event of an ignition delay, so that the cartridges are no longer transported to the weapon, but remain on the endless chain.
  • the object that is to be achieved with the present invention is to provide a monitoring device with a switch which has a relatively small stroke and has a relatively small mass and thus requires small switching forces so that the wear is small and reliable switching is guaranteed.
  • the monitoring device with which this object is achieved is characterized in that the switch consists of two segments which can be displaced in the direction of the cartridge axes, one of which optionally projects into the path of the cartridges.
  • the two segments are preferably articulated at the ends of a balance beam which is pivotally mounted in a housing in order to inevitably move the two segments in the opposite direction.
  • there is at least one compression spring which is supported on the one hand on a segment and on the other hand on the housing and has the endeavor to shift one segment into the active position and the other segment into its inactive position.
  • An actuating cable is preferably attached to a segment in order to actuate the segments in order to push this segment into its inactive position against the force of the compression spring.
  • guide pins which protrude into bores of the segments are fastened in the housing for guiding the segments, the segments being displaceable on these pins.
  • FIG. 1 only the six gun barrels 11 are visible from a Gatling cannon 10. These six weapon tubes 11 are fastened in a rotor, not shown, which is rotatably mounted about the weapon axis 12 in a manner known per se. At point A 11 cartridges 13 are fed to the breeches of the gun barrels, as described below. At point B, the cartridges are fired in a manner known per se. At point C, a feeler determines whether the cartridge has been fired. At point D, the empty cartridge cases 14 are ejected, as also described below.
  • the device for feeding the ammunition to the firearm 10 has a housing 15 in which three star wheels 16, 17 and 18 are rotatably mounted. These three star wheels 16, 17, 18 are driven by a gear transmission (not shown).
  • the first star wheel 16, also called the feed wheel has five receiving points for the cartridges.
  • the second star wheel 17, also referred to as transfer wheel has only four receiving points for the cartridges 13 to be fed to the weapon 10.
  • the third star wheel 18, also referred to as ejection wheel has four receiving points for the empty cartridge cases 14.
  • the two segments 26 and 27 are slidably arranged in a housing 28.
  • four pins 30 are fastened in the housing base 29, which protrude into corresponding bores in the segments 26 and 27.
  • a zap fen 31 attached, which protrudes into a corresponding bore of two balance beams 32.
  • the two balance beams 32 are pivotally mounted about bolts 33 in the housing 28 and have the task of lowering the other segment when lifting one segment.
  • Two plate spring assemblies 34 endeavor to push the segment 26 out of its lowest position shown (FIG. 3) into its uppermost position.
  • a cable 35 which is fastened to segment 26 with the aid of a screw 36, can pull segment 26 against the force of plate spring assemblies 34 into the lowest position shown. 3 and 4, the cable 35 is tensioned and the plate spring assemblies 34 are compressed.
  • the segment 26 is in its lowest, inactive position and the segment 27 in its active position at the top. In this initial position, the cartridges 13 thus reach the cannon 10.
