Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung für eine Waffenanlage, insbesondere bei einer schweren Waffe, mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an unbalance compensation device for a weapon system, in particular in the case of a heavy weapon, with the features from the preamble of patent claim 1.
Das Richten großkalibriger Waffenanlagen benötigt einen großen Kraftaufwand, d.h. es sind zum Erreichen schneller Richtzeiten große Leistungen erforderlich. Dieser Kraftaufwand ergibt sich aus dem Gewicht der schwenkbaren Teile der Waffe und wird um so größer je weiter der Schwerpunkt dieser schwenkbaren Teile von der Drehachse entfernt ist. Beim Richten muß daher das sich aus dem Gewicht des schwenkbaren Teils der Waffe und dem Schwerpunktabstand infolge der Gravitation ergebende Gewichtsmoment, im folgenden als Unbalance-Moment bezeichnet, durch ein Gegendrehmoment überwunden werden.Straightening large-caliber weapon systems requires a lot of effort, i.e. great achievements are required to achieve fast target times. This effort results from the weight of the pivotable parts of the weapon and becomes greater the further the center of gravity of these pivotable parts is from the axis of rotation. During straightening, the weight moment resulting from the weight of the swiveling part of the weapon and the distance from the center of gravity due to gravity, hereinafter referred to as the unbalance moment, must be overcome by a counter torque.
Damit der Richtantrieb und auch die benötigte Richtleistung kleingehalten werden kann, ist es bekannt, an der Waffenanlage eine Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung vorzusehen, durch die dieses Unbalance-Moment ausgeglichen wird. Dies ist besonders dann notwendig, wenn die für den Richtantrieb zur Verfügung stehende Leistung, beispielsweise die Bordnetzleistung eines Kampfpanzers, begrenzt ist oder beispielsweise im Notbetrieb das Richten mittels Handkraft gefordert wird.So that the directional drive and also the required directional output can be kept small, it is known to provide an imbalance compensation device on the weapon system by means of which this imbalance moment is compensated. This is particularly necessary if the power available for the directional drive, for example the electrical system power of a main battle tank, is limited or, for example, manual straightening is required in emergency operation.
Es sind Ausgleichsvorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen das Unbalance-Moment durch Federsysteme, beispielsweise mechanische Federzylinder, ausgeglichen wird. Ein großer Nachteil derartiger Federsysteme sind die vor allem bei großen Richtwinkeln großen Federwege, die entsprechende Platzprobleme mit sich bringen.Compensating devices are known in which the imbalance moment is compensated for by spring systems, for example mechanical spring cylinders. A major disadvantage of such spring systems is the large spring travel, especially with large straightening angles, which entails corresponding space problems.
Es ist weiterhin eine Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung bekannt (DE-OS 36 42 628) bei der das Unbalance-Moment in einen in einem hydropneumatischen Speichersystem wirkenden Druck umgewandelt wird, wobei die Einrichtung zur Umwandlung des Unbalance-Momentes ein Hydraulik-Drehzylinder ist, dessen Abtriebswelle rotatorisch mit dem schwenkbaren Teil der Waffe gekoppelt ist und bei dem mindestens einer der Druckflüssigkeitsanschlüsse über ein Hydrauliksystem an einen Hydraulikspeicher angeschlossen ist.There is also known an imbalance compensation device (DE-OS 36 42 628) in which the imbalance torque is converted into a pressure acting in a hydropneumatic storage system, the device for converting the imbalance torque being a hydraulic rotary cylinder, the output shaft of which is rotationally coupled to the pivotable part of the weapon and in which at least one of the hydraulic fluid connections is connected to a hydraulic accumulator via a hydraulic system.
Auch dieses System benötigt noch verhältnismäßig viel Platz und ist ziemlich aufwendig, da es an ein Hydrauliksystem gebunden ist, das mit einer Reihe von Steuerelementen, Ventilen und dergleichen aufgebaut sein muß.This system also requires a relatively large amount of space and is quite complex since it is linked to a hydraulic system which has to be constructed with a series of control elements, valves and the like.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 so auszugestalten, daß sie sehr einfach ausgebildet ist und bei geringem Eigengewicht und äußerst geringem Platzbedarf auch bei großen Richtwinkeln ein guter Ausgleich des Unbalance-Momentes erreicht wird.The invention has for its object to provide an imbalance balancing device with the features from the preamble of claim 1 so that it is very simple and with a low weight and extremely small space requirement, even with large straightening angles, a good balance of the unbalance moment is achieved .
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features from the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgleichsvorrichtung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the compensation device according to the invention are described in claims 2 to 7.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, bei einer Ausgleichsvorrichtung, bei der ein dem Unbalance-Moment entgegenwirkendes Drehmoment durch mindestens eine Feder erzeugt wird, als Feder nicht eine Feder mit linearem Federweg, also beispielsweise eine Schraubendruckfeder, bzw. ein Tellerfederpaket, mit verhältnismäßig langem Federweg, zu verwenden, sondern eine Drehstabfeder, wie sie beispielsweise im Fahrzeugbau zur Federung des Laufwerks eingesetzt wird. Drehstabfedern dieser Größenordnung erreichen hohe Drehmomente und große Verdrehwinkel. Sie besitzen eine lineare Federkennlinie. Durch geeignete Wahl von Durchmesser und Länge der Drehstabfeder und entsprechende Ausbildung des das Drehmoment übertragenden Getriebes kann die Kennlinie des aus Drehstabfeder und dem Getriebe bestehenden Systems sehr nahe an die Unbalance-Kurve der Waffenelevation gebracht werden, wie weiter unten näher erläutert wird.The basic idea of the invention is, in a compensation device in which a torque counteracting the imbalance torque is generated by at least one spring, as a spring not a spring with a linear spring travel, for example a helical compression spring or a disk spring package with a relatively long spring travel to use, but a torsion bar spring, as used for example in vehicle construction for suspension of the drive. Torsion bar springs of this size achieve high torques and large torsion angles. They have a linear spring characteristic. By a suitable choice of the diameter and length of the torsion bar spring and the appropriate design of the transmission transmitting the torque, the characteristic curve of the system consisting of torsion bar spring and the transmission can be brought very close to the imbalance curve of the weapon elevation, as will be explained in more detail below.
Sich ergebende Differenzmomente zwischen der Unbalance der Waffe und der Ausgleichsvorrichtung werden durch den vorhandenen Richtantrieb kompensiert.Resulting differential moments between the imbalance of the weapon and the compensation device are compensated for by the existing directional drive.
Die Übertragung des dem Unbalance-Moment entgegenwirkenden Drehmomentes von der Drehstabfeder auf den schwenkbaren Teil der Waffe, erfolgt über ein Getriebe, das grundsätzlich als Zahnradgetriebe (Patentanspruch 2) ausgebildet sein kann. Bei einer vorteilhaften und einfachen Ausführungsform wird ein Hebelgetriebe (Patentanspruch 3) verwendet, wobei durch entsprechende Anordnung der Drehpunkte und die Ausbildung der Länge des mit der Drehstabfeder verbundenen Hebels das zu übertragende Moment variiert und, wie bereits erwähnt, an die Unbalance-Kurve der Waffenelevation angeglichen werden kann.The transmission of the torque counteracting the unbalance torque from the torsion bar spring to the pivotable part of the weapon takes place via a gear, which can basically be designed as a gear transmission (claim 2). In an advantageous and simple embodiment, a lever mechanism (claim 3) is used, with the corresponding arrangement of the pivot points and the design of the length of the lever connected to the torsion bar spring varies the moment to be transmitted and, as already mentioned, can be adjusted to the imbalance curve of the weapon elevation.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgleichsvorrichtung läßt sich die Drehstabfeder in platzsparender Weise vor dem Besatzungsraum der Waffe anordnen, so daß eine Gefährdung der Mannschaft durch Federbruch ausgeschlossen ist und außerdem eine gute Zugänglichkeit und schnelle Austauschbarkeit der Drehstabfeder gewährleistet ist.In the compensating device according to the invention, the torsion bar spring can be arranged in a space-saving manner in front of the weapon occupation area, so that there is no danger to the team from spring breakage and, moreover, good accessibility and quick interchangeability of the torsion bar spring is ensured.
Vorteilhaft ist auch, daß beispielsweise bei einem Kampfpanzer als Drehstabfeder für die Ausgleichsvorrichtung der gleiche Federtyp verwendet werden kann, wie er auch zur Federung des Laufwerkes verwendet wird.It is also advantageous that, for example in a battle tank, the same type of spring can be used as the torsion bar spring for the compensating device, as is also used for the suspension of the drive.
Weiterhin ist es möglich, die Kennlinie der Ausgleichsvorrichtung insbesondere durch Verwendung mehrerer Drehstabfedern, die parallel- und/oder hintereinandergeschaltet werden und zum Teil unterschiedliche Federkennlinien aufweisen können, noch besser an die Unbalance-Kurve anzupassen, falls das durch den Richtantrieb aufzubringende Differenzmoment besonders kleingehalten werden soll.Furthermore, it is possible to adapt the characteristic curve of the compensating device even better to the unbalance curve, in particular by using a plurality of torsion bar springs which are connected in parallel and / or in series and in some cases have different spring characteristics, if the differential torque to be applied by the directional drive is kept particularly small should.
Im folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen ein Ausführungsbeispiel für die Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung nach der Erfindung näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the imbalance compensation device according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

- Fig. 2 die Waffenanlage mit Unbalance-Ausgleichsvorrichtung nach Fig. 1 in einer teilweise geschnittenen Seitenansicht;
- Fig. 3 in einer graphischen Darstellung die Unbalance-Kurve der Waffenanlage zusammen mit der Kennlinie der Ausgleichsvorrichtung.
- Figure 1 is a schematic, partially sectioned view of part of an armament system on the turret of a main battle tank with an imbalance compensation device from above.
- FIG. 2 shows the weapon system with an unbalance compensation device according to FIG. 1 in a partially sectioned side view;
- Fig. 3 is a graphical representation of the imbalance curve of the weapon system together with the characteristic of the balancing device.
In Fig. 1 und 2 ist in stark schematisierter Darstellung die Waffenanlage im Turm eines Kampfpanzers zu sehen, wobei von der Waffenanlage der das feste Gestell, also die Lafette bildende Turm 2, sowie der aus Waffenrohr und Wiegenkörper bestehende schwenkbare Teil 1 dargestellt sind. Der schwenkbare Teil 1 ist über einen Schildzapfen 1.1 im festen Gestell 2 in Elevationsrichtung schwenkbar gelagert und kann durch einen Richtantrieb 3 verschwenkt werden.1 and 2, the weapon system in the turret of a main battle tank can be seen in a highly schematic representation, the weapon system depicting the tower 2 which forms the fixed frame, that is to say the mount, and the pivotable part 1 which consists of the weapon barrel and the cradle body. The pivotable part 1 is pivotally mounted in the fixed frame 2 in the elevation direction via a shield pin 1.1 and can be pivoted by a directional drive 3.
Innerhalb des Innenraums 2.1 des Turms 2 ist parallel zur Drehachse des Schildzapfens 1.1, also quer zur Elevationsrichtung, in Schußrichtung vor dem Schildzapfen 1.1 und unterhalb des schwenkbaren Teils 1 der Waffe eine Drehstabfeder 4 angeordnet, deren eines Ende über eine Kerbverzahnung 4.6 drehfest in einem mit dem Turm 2 verbundenen Lagerbock 2.2 fixiert ist, während das freie Ende 4.1 der Drehstabfeder 4 ebenfalls über eine Kerbverzahnung 4.6 drehfest mit einem Schutzrohr 4.4 verbunden ist, das die Drehstabfeder 4 auf etwa der Hälfte ihrer Länge konzentrisch umgibt und das über Kugel- oder Rollenlager 4.5 in den Seitenwänden 2.3 des Waffenschachtes drehbar gelagert ist. Am äußeren Umfang des Schutzrohres 4.4 ist ein Hebel 4.2 befestigt, der gelenkig mit einem Ende einer Schubstange 4.3 verbunden ist, deren anderes Ende am schwenkbaren Teil 1 der Waffe angelenkt ist. Das Drehmoment der Drehstabfeder 4 wird zunächst auf das infolge seiner elastischen Eigenschaften ebenfalls als Drehstabfeder wirkende Schutzrohr 4.4 übertragen, von der es über den Hebel 4.2 und die Schub stange 4.3 schließlich auf den schwenkbaren Teil 1 der Waffe übertragen wird. Durch entsprechende Wahl des Anlenkungspunktes der Schubstange 4.3 am schwenkbaren Teil 1 der Waffe ist ein Kurbelradius 1.2 vorgegeben, während der Kurbelradius des Hebels 4.2 mit 4.7 bezeichnet ist. Durch entsprechend unterschiedliche Wahl dieser beiden Kurbelradien 1.2 bzw. 4.7 kann die Vorspannung, der geeignete Verdrehwinkel und das zu übertragende Moment der Drehstabfeder 4 variiert werden.Within the interior 2.1 of the turret 2, a torsion bar spring 4 is arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the shield pin 1.1, that is to say transversely to the direction of elevation, in the weft direction in front of the shield pin 1.1 and below the pivotable part 1 of the weapon, one end of which is rotatably fixed in one with a serration 4.6 the bearing block 2.2 connected to the tower 2 is fixed, while the free end 4.1 of the torsion bar 4 is also non-rotatably connected via a serration 4.6 to a protective tube 4.4 which concentrically surrounds the torsion bar 4 for approximately half its length and that via ball or roller bearings 4.5 is rotatably mounted in the side walls 2.3 of the weapon shaft. On the outer circumference of the protective tube 4.4, a lever 4.2 is fastened, which is connected in an articulated manner to one end of a push rod 4.3, the other end of which is articulated on the pivotable part 1 of the weapon. The torque of the torsion bar spring 4 is first transmitted to the protective tube 4.4, which also acts as a torsion bar spring due to its elastic properties, from which it is via the lever 4.2 and the thrust rod 4.3 is finally transferred to the pivotable part 1 of the weapon. A suitable selection of the articulation point of the push rod 4.3 on the pivotable part 1 of the weapon predefines a crank radius 1.2, while the crank radius of the lever 4.2 is denoted by 4.7. The preload, the suitable angle of rotation and the torque of the torsion bar spring 4 to be transmitted can be varied by appropriately different selection of these two crank radii 1.2 and 4.7.
In Fig. 2 sind zwei verschiedene Stellungen der Waffenanlage 1 mit ausgezogenen, bzw. strichpunktierten Linien und die entsprechende Lage des Hebelgetriebes eingezeichnet.In Fig. 2 two different positions of the weapon system 1 are drawn with solid or dash-dotted lines and the corresponding position of the lever mechanism.
Die Kennlinie der Ausgleichsvorrichtung kann schon bei Verwendung einer Drehstabfeder der Unbalance-Kurve der Waffe gut angeglichen werden.The characteristic curve of the balancing device can be well adjusted to the imbalance curve of the weapon even when using a torsion bar spring.
Ein Beispiel für ein solches Angleichen ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt.An example of such an adjustment is shown in FIG. 3.
In Fig. 3 sind die auftretenden Momente in Abhängigkeit von der Waffenelevation dargestellt, und zwar ist in einer Kurve I das Unbalance-Moment der Waffe und in einer weiteren Kurve II das Gegendrehmoment der Ausgleichsvorrichtung wiedergegeben. Die Kurve für das Unbalance-Moment der Waffe folgt in bekannter Weise einer Kosinus-Funktion und aus Fig. 3 ist gut abzulesen, daß es gelingt, die Kurve für das Gegendrehmoment über einen weiten Bereich von Elevationswinkeln recht gut der Kurve für das Unbalance-Moment anzunähern, so daß nur geringe Differenzmomente übrig bleiben, die vom Richtantrieb 3 ausgeglichen werden müssen.3 shows the moments that occur as a function of the weapon elevation, specifically the curve I of the imbalance of the weapon and curve II of the counter torque of the compensating device is shown. The curve for the imbalance moment of the weapon follows a cosine function in a known manner and it can be seen from FIG. 3 that the curve for the counter-torque succeeds quite well over a wide range of elevation angles with the curve for the imbalance moment approach, so that only small differential moments remain, which must be compensated by the directional drive 3.
