Definitions

  • Throwing equipment in particular launcher, used for launching active bodies or active media, such as fog, explosive, noise and / or decoy and tear gas, pepper or the like. Throwing systems are usually mounted or used on vehicles such as land vehicles and ships and on buildings. Such litter cups with active body are in the DE 37 06 213 C2 disclosed. Magazine-like Nebelschitzanlagen are for example in the DE 43 38 650 C1 as well as the DE 100 08 198 A1 described. As a rule, the throwing cups are arranged side by side or one above the other and have only a small straightening possibility,
  • the US 4,112,818 describes a surveillance and weapon system for protection in an aircraft.
  • a weapon integrated in this system is designed as a drum weapon, whereby the drum is rotatable about its own axis. Shots are fired whenever the drum pins come into contact with the pins on the triggers as the drum rotates. A contact separation to continue to rotate the drum without a shot is not provided. Rather, with each rotation of the shot fired until no more shot is in the drum.
  • the weapon is mounted below the aircraft roof and can be pivoted in two directions, horizontal and vertical. The pivoting in height is structurally limited.
  • This unit consists of several modules, which consists of a main body and several attached launching tubes.
  • the modules are rotated by a drive motor around the shaft longitudinal axis, wherein the drive motor and the ignition systems are controlled by a microprocessor. This ensures that different modules can shoot in the same direction. It is not possible to judge unity as a whole.
  • US 5,415,152 describes a pressure-driven throwing unit, wherein the launching tube is brought into alignment with the compressed gas from which the projectile is to be fired.
  • the invention has as its object to show a throwing system, which preferably allows a Richtfflegzier in at least one straightening axis.
  • the invention is based on the idea of arranging the launching tubes for the projectiles in a circle around an axis of rotation. This results in a Abschusstrommel that rotatably makes it possible to fire the or the projectile from a certain position.
  • the firing direction can be determined rigidly or adjusted by straightening the drum. That is, in a preferred embodiment, the thrower has a straightening at least in a straightening axis.
  • a straightening in two to three axes is provided.
  • the launching is ideally done from the launch tube whose axis is cut from both the elevation directional axis and the azimuth directional axis. As a result, no torques are generated around the straightening during firing.
  • brakes and clutches can be omitted on the drives of the directional axis or adjustable lever supports.
  • the straightening drives can be made small.
  • the control of the throwing machine can be simplified.
  • the launcher components can be made symmetrical and small.
  • the Werfertrommel can be designed as a removable magazine. This has the advantage that completely ammunitioniere magazines can be changed.
  • a drum / magazine drive allows rotation to an index position for loading / unloading the launcher.
  • the contacts for firing are separated to create a high level of security in this position.
  • the firing in only one position has the advantage that the introduction of force and torque into the carrier vehicle can be optimized.
  • the launcher can also be attached to buildings etc.
  • a brake and reset system can be integrated in the launching position in continuation of the invention.
  • This allows the use of light carrier vehicles, such as the use of SUVs, motorcycles, helicopters, light aircraft and the like and, for example, as a mobile, portable systems.
  • Fig. 1 is a launcher 1 with several launch tubes 2, in which there are not shown here throwing body 3, shown.
  • the launch tubes 2 in their entirety form a Abschusstrommel or a drum magazine 4, which in azimuth A about a straightening axis R 1 by means of a drive 5 and elevation E about a straightening axis R 2 by means of another drive 6 (Fig. Fig. 3 ) is pivotable.
  • a video camera is provided.
  • the drum 4 itself is adjustable about its own drum axis / axis of rotation D (drive 13).
  • Figure 4 and stored in or on a carrier 8.
  • the litter installation 1 can be adapted to a carrier vehicle (not shown in more detail) by means of a bracket 9 adapted to the respective mounting situation and position.
  • Fig. 2 shows the throwing machine 1 with the launching tubes 2 and throwing bodies 3 in a front view.
  • Fig. 3 gives a side view of the throwing machine 1
  • Fig. 4 a sectional view of the throwing machine 1 in section AA Fig. 2 ,
  • the drum 4 is rotated about its axis D.
  • the throwing body 3 1 is in the firing position, d, h., From the launch tube 2, whose axis is cut both from the straightening axis R 2 for the elevation E and from the straightening axis R 1 for azimuth A. If this projectile has been ignited 3 1 , there is a further adjustment of the drum 4 until another projectile 3 is in the launching position. After firing all located in the launch tubes 2 throwing body 3, the magazine 4 can be changed. For straightening the discharge tubes 2, the drum 4 is adjusted in its entirety in azimuth and / or elevation. If a safety position is desired, the drum 4 is adjusted so that no throwing body 3 comes into contact (contacts 10 and 11 also separated from each other electrically).
  • the contacts 10, 11 ( Fig. 3 . 3a ) are used to power the throwing machine 1 and to transmit the firing signal. It is ensured that in the firing position only the projectile located in this position 3 is ignited.
  • an ammunition detection device 12 (FIG. Fig. 3 ).
