Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Art der Munitionsbevorratung, die als umlaufende Munitionszuführung um den Turm, ein herkömmliches Munitionsmagazin ersetzt.The invention relates to a type of Munitionsbevorratung, which replaces as a circulating ammunition supply to the tower, a conventional ammunition magazine.
Bekannt sind Munitionsmagazine oder dergleichen zur Aufnahme von Munition, die in Turmnähe oder Im Turm selbst untergebracht sind. So beschäftigt sich die
Die
Die
Ein Munitionsmagazin, welches In der Praxis vorzugsweise hinter dem Turm angeordnet ist, wird in der
Die
Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Munitionsbevorratung aufzuzeigen, die weder Im Turm noch in einem Munitionsmagazin gelagert ist, Damit verbunden wird angestrebt, den Turm baulich kleiner gestalten zu können.The invention has as its object to show a Munitionsbevorratung, which is stored neither in the tower nor in an ammunition magazine, this is the endeavor to make the tower structurally smaller.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.The object is achieved by the features of
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, die Munitionsbevorratung um den Turm zu integrieren, d. h., die Munition wird nicht als Magazin hinter oder neben dem Turm eingebunden, sondern umlaufend / umfänglich um den Turm gelegt bzw. geführt. Die Bevorratung kann um den gesamten Turm gelegt bzw. geführt werden, d.h. vollumfänglich, oder aber nur teilumfänglich.The invention is based on the idea to integrate the ammunition storage around the tower, d. h., The ammunition is not included as a magazine behind or next to the tower, but placed circumferentially / circumferentially around the tower or guided. The stocking can be placed around the entire tower, i. in full or only partially.
Dies ermöglicht in Weiterführung der Erfindung eine kleinere Schutzzelle einzubinden, da die Munition nicht im Turm gelagert werden muss. Die Schutzzelle kann für sich eine Schutzhülle, je nach Schutzanforderung, aufweisen. Durch eine zusätzliche Schutzhülle um die außerhalb des Turmes angebrachte Munitionsbevorratung ist auch ein Schutz der Munition gewährleistet.This allows further development of the invention to incorporate a smaller protective cell, since the ammunition does not have to be stored in the tower. The protective cell may itself have a protective cover, depending on the protection requirement. By an additional protective cover around the outside of the tower mounted ammunition storage and protection of the ammunition is guaranteed.
In Weiterführung der Idee werden die sonst im Turm gelagerten Baugruppen, welche aber nicht im direkten Eingriff durch den Bediener stehen müssen, gleichfalls nach außen zwischen die Schutzzelle und wenn vorhanden, die Schutzhülle gelegt. Ein Schutz dieser Baugruppen wird durch die Schutzhülle um die Munition gewährleistet.In continuation of the idea, the otherwise stored in the tower assemblies, but which must not be in direct intervention by the operator, also outward between the protective cell and if present, the protective cover. Protection of these assemblies is ensured by the protective cover around the ammunition.
Die umlaufende Munitionszuführung erfolgt in einer einfachsten Form durch eine einfache herkömmliche Munitionszuführung, wenn die Waffe selbst stark genug ist, die Munition zu ziehen. In der beanspruchten Form ist jedoch vorgesehen, einen Antrieb einzubinden, beispielsweise einen Motor, sowie eine flexible Führung, die für sich bekannt ist. Hier besteht die umlaufende Munitionszuführung aus einem Support, einem Verdrehapparat, einem damit verbundenen Krümmer sowie der Transportvorrichtung und dem vorzugsweise elektromotorischen Munitionsförderer.The circumferential ammunition feed is made in a simplest form by a simple conventional ammunition feed, if the weapon itself is strong enough to pull the ammunition. In the claimed form, however, it is provided to incorporate a drive, such as a motor, as well as a flexible guide, which is known per se. Here, the circumferential ammunition supply from a support, a Verdrehapparat, an associated manifold and the transport device and the preferably electromotive ammunition conveyor.
Die Transportvorrichtung ist in Weiterführung der Erfindung eine umlaufende unendliche Kette, welche in zwei Richtungen beweglich ist (zwei Achsen). An den Kettengliedern sind nach unten ragende Haken angebracht.The transport device is in continuation of the invention, a circumferential infinite chain, which is movable in two directions (two axes). On the chain links downwardly projecting hooks are attached.
Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail.
