Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with the problem of the separation of belt members after the firing of the ammunition transported therein by a weapon.
  • Belt members are known for example from the DE 10 2004 035 634 A1 , In these munitions are supplied to a weapon. With the help of a part of a closure, the ammunition is then pushed into the barrel, the belt members transported on. In some embodiments, the strap members are connected by the ammunition contained therein so that they fall apart when the ammunition leaves the strap member. In other embodiments, the belt members remain connected to each other via hooks and eyes.
  • the EP 1 985 960 A1 is a separation device for belt members known, which is involved at the end of a munitions feed and the belt members to split after the firing of ammunition.
  • the device has two elastically mounted tongues above and a rail below the belt members.
  • the empty belt links are brought against the upper tongues.
  • the invention has the object to show a further separation device for belt members, with a secure release of the belt members to be guaranteed.
  • the invention is based on the idea to carry out the separation in the region of the junction directly by a separator incorporated in this area and a (Aus-) control curve for the belt members, along which the belt members out and thereby levered, that is detached from each other.
  • a lower guide and an upper guide is provided in this area.
  • the lower guide is matched to the width of the connection point, that is to the width of the hooks and eyes, and is preferably formed by two tongue-like rails or the like. They are elastic in the region of the separation of the belt members and then running down. A simple and possibly wider rail in the same area of the upper guide is also conceivable.
  • the upper guide is preferably made of a spring, in which the control cam for guiding the / to be separated belt member (r) is involved.
  • the width of the spring is preferably equal to the width of the hooks and eyes, but may also be narrower or wider than this connection point.
  • an ejection device which in turn throws the separated belt members in a collecting device or removes.
  • the simplest form of the ejector is a prestressable spring.
  • the biasing of the spring to this cadence is at least partially tuned, so at least after a predetermined number of separate belt members (at least one, preferably two or three) these are thrown out or thrown away.
  • the preloading is primarily supported by a motor. Especially with single shot while the engine must be able to go through. This can be done by a known safety clutch that disconnects the engine from the load when there is no load, but does not drive the engine itself with special needs.
  • a chain with flexible members may bias the spring or a hydraulic, pneumatic or magnetic device may be provided.
  • Fig. 1 1 is a separator for belt members 2 ( Fig. 1a ), which are connected to each other via hooks 3 / eyelets 4 and serve for the transport and the support of ammunition 5.
  • the separation device 1 is integrated at the end of the ammunition supply 6 and preferably has a housing 7 with a plate 8, through which the device 1 can be attached to a weapon, not shown.
  • To guide the belt members 2, two tongues 10, 11 are preferably mounted below the belt members 2 in the housing 7.
  • the upper guide is used for the actual separation of the belt members 2 and is formed by a specially shaped spring 12. This is matched to the width of the hook 3 / eyelets 4 and approximately as wide as this joint 13.
  • In the spring 12 is incorporated a control cam 13 for cutting.
  • the control cam 13 itself is matched to the shape of the belt members 2. She owns, as in Fig. 2 shown, angular passages and at the end 14 a curved area.
  • the special shape of the spring 12 allows the separation of the hooks 3 and 4 eyelets.
  • the hook 3 is blocked at the rear end 14 of the control cam 13 of the spring 12, wherein the bent end 14 slides into the half round of the belt member 2.
  • the belt member 2 is pushed down along the curved end 14 of the control cam 13 in this area, the connecting part or area, so that the spring 12 presses in this area and now conveys the hook 3 out of the eyelet 4 out.
  • the separated belt member 2 falls on an imaginary plane (23), not shown here, below the separating device 1.
  • FIG. 3 schematically an ejection or disposal device 20 is shown, which consists of a motor 21 and a biasable spring 22 here. This is tensioned for example as a function of the firing cadence by the motor 21, wherein the spring 22 does not have to push away after each separation of the belt members 2.
  • the motor 21 is provided with a safety clutch (not shown).
  • Such safety clutches are available, for example, from the company R + W Antriebsmaschine GmbH ( http://www.rw-kupplungen.de/kupplungen-gelenkwellen/index.php ) and, for example, closer in the DE 10 2006 050 995 A1 described.
  • the motor 21 is constantly energized. In its first, adjustable rotation angle range, it biases the spring 22 until the clutch reaches its stop. The clutch itself now releases the shaft of the motor 21, so that the motor 21 can continue to rotate, but this time of idling to relax (release) of the spring 22 can be used.
  • the motor 21 is functionally disconnected from the spring tension. After completion of the set wider angle range, the clutch engages the shaft of the motor 21 again, a new cycle begins. The frequency of the cycles depends on the cadence of the weapon.
  • the tensioning device is not limited to a motorized version.
  • the tensioning of the spring 22 can also be effected by means of chains and flexible members, hydraulically, pneumatically or magnetically.
