Abstract

The invention relates to a drive having a quick stop mechanism for a breech (3) or breech carrier which can be axially adjusted relative to a weapon barrel (1), said drive comprising at least one motor or the like, two counter-rotating chains (6) and sprocket wheels (5) around which the chains (6) are guided. Engaging cams (7) and control cams (8) are integrated into the chains (6). A slide (11) is mounted on two guide bolts at the bottom of the breech (3) so as to be displaceable at a right angle to the direction of fire and has a groove (12) into which the engaging cams (7) of the respective chains (6) engage to entrain the breech (3) in a forward or reverse motion in relation to the direction of fire. The engaging cam (7) transporting the breech (3) forwards is displaced out from the groove (12) while the control cam (8) of said chain (6) displaces the slide (11) simultaneously to is center position via its ascent ramp (13), thereby allowing the rest periods of the breech (3) in the forward end position. Once the shot is fired, the slide (11) is displaced from the center position to the other weapon side whereas it remains in the center position when no shot is fired so that none of the engaging cams (7) can entrain the breech (3) backwards.

Description

BESCHREIBUNG DESCRIPTION
Antrieb und Schnellstopp für eine Waffe mit vorzugsweise linearer Verschluss- bzw.Drive and quick stop for a weapon with preferably linear closure or
Munitionszuführungammunition feed
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Antriebe wie Fremd- oder Eigenantriebe für Waffensysteme bekannt. Bei Fremdantrieben werden häufig elektrische Antriebe vorgesehen, welche dann beispielsweise eine Kette antreiben. Ein bekannter Kettenantrieb wird in der unter dem Namen Bushmaster oder auch Chain Gun bekannten Maschinenkanone angewandt. Hierbei werden notwendige Stillstandszeiten zum Verschließen des Verschlusses, für das Schussauslösen, für das Öffnen des Verschlusses sowie das Vorlegen einer Patrone vor den Verschluss durch eine umlaufende, von einem Motor angetriebene Kette realisiert (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242 Bushmaster). Der Verschluss mit der davor liegenden Munition bzw. Patrone wird dabei dem Patronenlager linear zugeführt.From the prior art, various drives such as foreign or self-propelled weapon systems are known. In third-party drives electric drives are often provided, which then drive, for example, a chain. A well-known chain drive is used in the known under the name Bushmaster or Chain Gun automatic cannon. Here necessary downtime for closing the shutter, for firing the shot, for opening the shutter and the presentation of a cartridge before the closure by a rotating, driven by a motor chain realized (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242 Bushmaster). The closure with the preceding ammunition or cartridge is thereby fed linearly to the cartridge chamber.
In der DE 10 2006 022 622 A1 wird eine lineare Zuführung der Munition in ein Waffenrohr bzw. Patronenlager beschrieben, welche eine zur Funktionssteuerung verwendete Steuerkulisse in der horizontalen Ebene parallel zum Weg eines geradlinig zu führenden Verschlusses der Verschlusswaffe aufweist. Diese wirkt funktional mit einer so genannten gleichfalls in der horizontalen Ebene liegenden Antriebskulisse zum Führen eines mit dem Verschluss verbundenen Mittels zusammen. Die Antriebskulisse ist in einem bewegbaren Schieber integriert, welcher seinerseits durch einen universell gestaltbaren Antrieb verstellt wird. Für eine Verriegelung des Verschlusses ist des Weiteren eine Verriegelungskulisse vorgesehen, die bevorzugt zusammen mit der Antriebskulisse in dem bewegbaren Schieber eingebunden ist. In diese Verriegelungskulisse kann ein Bolzen eines vorzugsweise waffenseitig angeordneten Verriegelungsringes eingreifen. Dieser Bolzen bewegt seinerseits dann den Verriegelungsring. Innerhalb der miteinander wirkenden Steuerkulisse und der Antriebskulisse wird ein Pleuel oder dergleichen durch die Kulissen und den Schieber entlang dieser Kulissen zwangsgeführt. Mit diesem Pleuel wird der Verschluss hin und her bewegt.DE 10 2006 022 622 A1 describes a linear feed of the ammunition into a weapon barrel or cartridge chamber, which has a control link used for function control in the horizontal plane parallel to the path of a closure of the closure weapon leading in a straight line. This functionally cooperates with a so-called also in the horizontal plane drive link for guiding a connected to the closure means. The drive link is integrated in a movable slide, which in turn is adjusted by a universal design drive. For a locking of the closure further comprises a locking link is provided, which is preferably integrated together with the drive link in the movable slide. In this locking link can engage a bolt preferably a weapon side arranged locking ring. This bolt in turn then moves the locking ring. Within the co-acting control link and the drive link a connecting rod or the like is forcibly guided through the scenes and the slide along these scenes. With this connecting rod, the shutter is moved back and forth.
Darauf aufbauend wird in der nicht vorveröffentlichten DE 10 2007 048 468.4 ein Antrieb für die lineare Zuführung der Munition in ein Waffenrohr bzw. Patronenlager mittels einer Kette näher betrachtet. Die Kette selbst wird in einfacher Art und Weise eng um zwei Kettenräder geführt. Ein Kettenglied bzw. ein Nocken der Kette ist in eine unterhalb des bewegbaren Schiebers befindlichen Führung oder Nut eingebunden. Dadurch kann die Kette innerhalb der Stillstandszeiten der Waffe, die durch die Funktionssteuerung definiert werden, weiter laufen. Die Kette selbst kann durch einen Elektromotor angetrieben werden.Building on this, a drive for the linear feeding of the ammunition into a weapon barrel or cartridge chamber by means of a chain is considered in more detail in the unpublished DE 10 2007 048 468.4. The chain itself becomes tight in a simple manner around two sprockets guided. A chain link or a cam of the chain is incorporated in a guide or groove located below the movable slide. As a result, the chain can continue running within the downtime of the weapon, which are defined by the function control. The chain itself can be driven by an electric motor.
Da Verschlussbewegungen bei einem Fremdantrieb unabhängig vom Gasdruck im Waffenrohr ablaufen, muss im Fall eine Anzündversagers (nach Zufuhr der Anzündenergie brennt die Treibladung in der Patrone nicht ab) bzw. Spätzünders (hier brennt die Treibladung mit deutlichem Zeitverzug ab) das Öffnen des Verschlusses verhindert werden. Dazu wird in der Regel der Gasdruck oder der Waffenlauf selbst als Indiz für einen ordnungsgemäßen Ab- brand detektiert. Fehlt diese Information, muss ein so genannter Schnellstopp ausgelöst und das Öffnen des Verschlusses verhindert werden.Since shutter movements occur in a foreign drive regardless of the gas pressure in the gun barrel, in the case of Anzündversagers (after supply of the ignition does not burn the propellant charge in the cartridge) or retarded (here the propellant burns off with significant delay) opening the shutter must be prevented , As a rule, the gas pressure or the weapon barrel itself is detected as an indication of a proper burn-up. If this information is missing, a so-called quick stop must be triggered and the opening of the closure prevented.
Durch die Massenkräfte beim Abbremsen des Fremdantriebes, um das Öffnen zu verhindern, entstehen insbesondere bei höheren Kadenzen hohe Belastungen in bzw. an den Elementen des Antriebsstranges.Due to the inertia forces during braking of the external drive to prevent the opening, high loads occur in or at the elements of the drive train, especially at higher cadences.
Mit der Problematik eines so genannten Schnellstopps bei fremd angetriebenen Waffen beschäftigt sich die nicht vor veröffentlichte DE 10 2007 048 470.6. Der Schnellstopp wird stetig eingelegt und im Falle eines ordnungsgemäßen Schusses wieder ausgesteuert. Jedoch im Falle eines Zündversagers läuft ein Mittel, welches mit dem Waffenrücklauf funktional verbunden ist, auf den Schnellstopp auf, die Antriebsbewegung wird gestoppt, das Entriegeln des Verschlusses unterbleibt zumindest für eine vorgebbare Zeit.With the problem of a so-called quick stop in foreign-powered weapons is not the previously published DE 10 2007 048 470.6. The quick stop is continuously inserted and controlled again in the case of a proper shot. However, in the case of a Zündversagers running a means which is functionally connected to the weapon return on the quick stop, the drive movement is stopped, the unlocking of the closure is omitted at least for a predetermined time.
Aus der DE 30 21 200 C2 ist ein Schutzsystem gegen verspätetes Losgehen oder Nachzünden bekannt. Die Waffe ist neben einem Fühler zum Erfassen eines Rückstoßes mit einem Schnellstopp ausgerüstet, der zum Anhalten eines sich normalerweise kontinuierlich bewegenden Kettenteils und damit zum Stillsetzen der Bewegung des Verschlusses in eine bezüglich des Kettenteils eingerückte Position bringbar ist. Eine auf den Fühler ansprechende Verriegelungsvorrichtung steuert die Bewegung der Stoppvorrichtung zwischen der eingerückten Position, in welcher das Kettenteil angehalten wird, und einer ausgerückten Position, in der die Bewegung des Kettenteils ansonsten nicht behindert wird. Das Schutzsystem weist zwei mit dem Kettenteil verbundene Glieder auf, ein Hauptglied sowie ein Sicherheitsglied, sowie eine Abzugsstange, die von einem Hubmagneten gesteuert wird, und eine Rückstoßschubstange auf. Die Rückstoßschubstande dient zum Freisetzen eines Rückstoßklinkenriegels, wenn der Schuss gebrochen ist, die Abzugsstange zum Unterstellen des Sicherheitsgliedes beim Verriegeln der Waffe und Freigeben, wenn die Munition richtig abgefeuert ist. Für ein späteres Stillsetzen der Waffe greift die Abzugsstange am Hauptglied an, da der Hubmagnet abgeschaltet ist. Ein derartiger, elektrisch gesteuerter Hubmagnet ist jedoch insbesondere in Sicherheitseinrichtungen dieser Art unerwünscht, da selber störanfällig. Ein möglicher Materialbruch der Stangen macht die Sicherheitseinrichtung zudem nicht funktionssicher. Die gesamte Einheit ist zudem konstruktiv sehr aufwändig.From DE 30 21 200 C2, a protection system against late start or after ignition is known. The weapon is equipped with a rapid stop next to a sensor for detecting a recoil, which can be brought to stop a normally continuously moving chain part and thus to stop the movement of the shutter in an engaged relative to the chain part position. A locking device responsive to the sensor controls the movement of the stop between the engaged position in which the chain member is stopped and a disengaged position in which the movement of the chain member is otherwise unobstructed. The protection system comprises two links connected to the chain member, a main member and a safety member, and a trigger bar controlled by a solenoid and a recoil push rod. The recoil burst is for releasing a recoil latch when the shot is broken, the trigger bar for placing the safety member in place when locking the weapon and releasing when the ammunition fired properly. For a later shutdown of the weapon, the trigger rod engages the main member, since the solenoid is turned off. However, such an electrically controlled solenoid is undesirable in particular in safety devices of this type, since itself prone to failure. A possible material breakage of the rods also makes the safety device not functionally reliable. The entire unit is also structurally very complex.
Die DE 32 18 550 C2 offenbart eine Blockiereinrichtung für eine Maschinenkanone mit einem fremd angetriebenen Verschlussantrieb. Hierbei dient eine aus der Schussentwicklung resultierende Energie für eine Schusskontrolleinrichtung zum Unterbrechen der Fremdenergiezufuhr. Bei einem nicht gebrochenen Schuss und dem Ausbleiben einer Rückbewegung wird ein Ausrücken eines Steuernockens der Einrichtung aus einer zurückgezogenen Position in eine Mitnahmeposition verhindert, während ein Schalthebel durch einen Unterbrechernocken in eine Position transportiert wird, in der die kontinuierliche Drosselung der Energiezufuhr erreicht wird. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung liegt gleichfalls im hohen konstruktiven Aufwand und dem damit verbundenen Gewicht.DE 32 18 550 C2 discloses a blocking device for a machine gun with a foreign-driven shutter drive. This is an energy resulting from the shot development for a shot control device for interrupting the external energy supply. In a non-broken shot and the absence of a return movement, disengagement of a control cam of the device from a retracted position to a take-up position is prevented while a shift lever is transported by a disconnector cam to a position where the continuous restriction of the power supply is achieved. The disadvantage of this solution is also the high design complexity and the associated weight.
In der nicht vorveröffentlichen DE 10 2007 054 470.9 wird ein Antrieb für eine Waffe mit linearer Munitionszuführung behandelt, der sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass die lineare Zuführung eines Verschlusses zum Waffenrohr bzw. Patronenlager durch eine gerade Führungsnut in einer Antriebs- Kinematik erreicht wird. In der Führungsnut wird ein Mitnehmer geführt, der mit dem Verschluss konstruktiv verbunden ist. Die Führungsnut wird von einer umlaufenden Zwangsführung (Kulisse) umschlossen, die ihrerseits die notwendigen Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses während des Verriegeins, des Schusses, des Entriegeins in seiner vorderen Position sowie des Neuladens interpretiert. Innerhalb der Zwangsführung wird ein weiteres Mittel als Antriebsmittel für den Verschluss geführt. Die Antriebsübertragung kann durch Gleitrollen, Zahnräder oder dergleichen realisiert werden, die von einem Motor etc. angetrieben werden. Der Antrieb selbst läuft innerhalb der Stillstandszeiten der Waffe weiter, während der Verschluss in den Stillstandszeiten aus- bzw. später wieder eingesteuert wird. Zwischen dem Antriebsmittel und dem Mitnehmer ist ein Schieber eingebunden, der ein Lösen des Mitnehmers vom Verschluss realisiert. Dazu weist ein Schieber eine Schiebekurve auf, entlang welcher der Mitnehmer geführt und angehoben wird.In the unpublished DE 10 2007 054 470.9 a drive for a weapon with linear ammunition supply is treated, which is characterized in that the linear supply of a closure to the gun barrel or cartridge chamber is achieved by a straight guide groove in a drive kinematics.

The guide groove is surrounded by a circumferential forced guidance (gate), which in turn interprets the necessary downtime of the shutter during the Verriegeins, the shot, the Entriegeins in its forward position and the reload. Within the positive guide another means is performed as a drive means for the closure. The drive transmission can be realized by casters, gears or the like, which are driven by a motor, etc. The drive itself continues to run within the downtime of the weapon, while the shutter is off in the downtime or later reinstated. Between the drive means and the driver, a slider is integrated, which realizes a release of the driver from the closure. For this purpose, a slider on a sliding curve, along which the driver is guided and raised.

In einer parallel eingereichten Anmeldung wird ein Antrieb mit Schnellstoppeinrichtung mit einer Kette vorgeschlagen, an der wenigstens zwei Mitnehmernocken angebracht sind. Die Kette wird um zumindest zwei Kettenräder geführt und ist vorzugsweise unterhalb des Verschlusses angeordnet. Quer zur Schussrichtung verschiebbar ist in einer Führung unten am Verschluss / Verschlussträger ein Schlitten gelagert, über dessen volle Breite sich eine Nut erstreckt. Über diese Nut bewegt der jeweilige Mitnehmernocken den Verschluss in Schussrichtung nach vorn oder nach dem Schuss nach hinten. Die Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses in der vorderen Endlage werden dadurch realisiert, dass der, den Verschluss nach vorne transportierende Mitnehmernocken aus der Nut herausgefahren und auf der anderen Waffenseite ohne Verschluss nach hinten bewegt wird. Bei erfolgtem Schuss wird dann der Schlitten auf die andere Waffenseite verschoben, während er bei nicht ausgelöstem Schuss in seiner Position verbleibt, in der er vom Mitnehmernocken abgelegt worden ist, sodass kein weiterer Mitnehmernocken den Verschluss nach hinten mitnehmen kann.In a parallel application filed a drive with quick stop device is proposed with a chain to which at least two drive cam are mounted. The chain is guided around at least two sprockets and is preferably arranged below the closure. Slidably mounted transversely to the firing direction, a carriage is mounted in a guide at the bottom of the closure / closure carrier, over the full width of which a groove extends. About this groove, the respective driving cam moves the shutter in the weft direction forward or after the shot to the rear. The downtime of the shutter in the front end position are realized in that the, the closure forward transporting drive cam is moved out of the groove and moved to the other side of the weapon without closure to the rear. When the shot is then the carriage is moved to the other side of the weapon, while he remains in the unreleased shot in its position in which he has been deposited by the driver cam, so that no further driver cam can take the lock to the rear.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, als Antrieb zwei gegenläufige Ketten einzubinden. Über diesen Kettenantrieb wird die Drehbewegung des Fremdantriebes, beispielsweise eines elektrischen Motors, in eine Vor- und Zurückbewegung eines Verschlusses / Verschlussträgers realisiert.The present invention is based on the idea to incorporate as drive two opposing chains. About this chain drive, the rotational movement of the foreign drive, such as an electric motor, realized in a forward and backward movement of a closure / closure carrier.
Die Achsen der Kettenräder liegen vorzugsweise quer zur Schussrichtung und dabei bevorzugt unterhalb des Verschlusses. Eine der Ketten befördert den Verschluss nach vorne, die andere nach hinten. In der Praxis wird der Verschluss durch eine der beiden Ketten auf der linken Waffenseite nach vorn befördert. Während die andere Kette den Verschluss auf der rechten Waffenseite nach hinten mitnimmt (oder umgekehrt).The axes of the sprockets are preferably transverse to the weft direction and thereby preferably below the closure. One of the chains conveys the closure to the front, the other to the rear. In practice, the closure is carried forward by one of the two chains on the left side of the weapon. While the other chain takes the lock on the right side of the weapon backwards (or vice versa).
Um die Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses in den Endlagen zu ermöglichen, wird der Verschluss in seiner vorderen und hinteren Position vom Antrieb getrennt. Dies kann dadurch erfolgen, dass Mitnehmernocken des Antriebs vom Verschluss abgekoppelt werden. Diese Mitnehmernocken greifen in einer bevorzugten Ausführung für das Verschieben des Verschlusses in einen unterhalb des Verschlusses befindlichen quer zur Schussrichtung verschiebbaren Schlitten. In seiner linken Position ist der Schlitten mit dem Mitnehmer der einen (linken) Kette und in seiner rechten Position mit dem Mitnehmer der anderen (rechten) Kette im funktionalen Eingriff. In den Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses verlassen die Mitnehmernocken jeweils den Schlitten, wenn dieser seine mittlere Position eingenommen hat. In die- ser mittleren Position sind der Schlitten und damit der Verschluss von beiden Ketten getrennt.In order to allow the downtime of the shutter in the end positions, the shutter in its front and rear position is separated from the drive. This can be done by disconnecting driver cams of the drive from the closure. These drive cams engage in a preferred embodiment for moving the closure in a below the closure located transversely slidable to the weft carriage. In its left position the carriage is in operative engagement with the cam of one (left) chain and in its right position with the cam of the other (right) chain. In the downtime of the shutter, the drive cams each leave the carriage when this has taken its middle position. In the- In the middle position, the carriage and thus the shutter are separated from both chains.
Hat die rechte Kette den Verschluss mit nach vorn genommen, wird der Schlitten von einem, dem Mitnehmer folgenden Steuernocken auf der rechten Kette in seine mittlere Position verschoben und dabei vom Antrieb getrennt. In dieser Position ist der Verschluss verriegelt, die Patrone wird gezündet, ein Waffenrücklauf eingeleitet. Durch diesen (auch die Nutzung eines Gasdrucks ist möglich) wird der Schlitten auf die linke (andere) Waffen- oder Verschlussseite verschoben, von wo der Schlitten durch die linke Kette über den Mitnehmernocken dieser Kette mit nach hinten genommen werden kann.If the right chain has taken the fastener forward, the carriage is moved by one of the follower control cam on the right chain in its middle position and thereby separated from the drive. In this position, the lock is locked, the cartridge is ignited, initiated a weapons return. By this (also the use of a gas pressure is possible), the carriage is moved to the left (other) weapons or closure side, from where the carriage can be taken by the left chain on the drive cam of this chain with backwards.
Bei korrekter Schussentwicklung wird der Verschluss von der zweiten Kette in die hintere Position geführt. Hier wird der Schlitten durch den Steuernocken der zweiten Kette wieder in seine mittlere Position ge- bzw. verschoben und für die hintere Wartezeit des Verschlusses vom Antrieb getrennt. Wenn die nächste Patrone vor den Verschluss gelegt wurde, wird der Schlitten von einem Element, beispielsweise eines Zuführers auf die andere (rechte) Seite gedrückt. Der Mitnehmernocken der ersten (rechten) Kette fährt jetzt von unten in die Nut im Schlitten und nimmt den Verschluss wieder mit nach vorn.With proper shot development, the closure is guided from the second chain to the rear position. Here, the carriage is moved by the control cam of the second chain back to its middle position or moved and separated for the rear waiting time of the shutter from the drive. When the next cartridge is placed in front of the shutter, the carriage is pushed from one element, such as one feeder, to the other (right) side. The drive cam of the first (right) chain now drives from below into the groove in the carriage and takes the closure back with forward.
Zündet hingegen die Patrone nicht, wird durch Ausbleiben des Waffenrücklaufs der Schlitten nicht nach links verschoben, sondern verbleibt in seiner mittleren Position. Der Verschluss kann nicht entriegelt und auch nicht mit zurückgenommen werden.On the other hand, if the cartridge does not fire, the carriage will not move to the left due to the absence of the weapon return, but will remain in its middle position. The lock can not be unlocked and can not be taken back.
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.

Fig. 4 die Baugruppen aus Fig. 3 in einer transparenten Darstellung (in Schussrichtung von links gesehen), Fig. 5 den Verschlussantrieb gegen Schussrichtung gesehen.FIG. 4 shows the assemblies of FIG. 3 in a transparent representation (viewed from the left in the weft direction), FIG. Fig. 5 seen the shutter drive against weft direction.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Darstellung eines Verschlussantriebes mit zwei Ketten 6, rechts und links in Schussrichtung gesehen, für eine fremd angetriebene Maschinenkanone (Waffe). Ein Waffenrohr 1 ist in einer Rohrverriegelung 2 (hier Verriegelungsbuchse) befestigt, in der auch ein Verschluss 3 in seiner vorderen Position verriegelt wird. Der Verschluss 3 kann auf Verschlussführungen 4 in Richtung der Waffenrohrachse verschoben werden.Fig. 1 shows an illustration of a shutter drive with two chains 6, seen right and left in the weft direction, for a foreign-powered machine gun (weapon). A gun barrel 1 is mounted in a pipe lock 2 (here locking bush) in which a shutter 3 is locked in its forward position. The shutter 3 can be moved on shutter guides 4 in the direction of the weapon barrel axis.
Vorzugsweise unterhalb des Verschlusses 3 bzw. der Verschlussführungen 4 oder eines sonstigen Verschlussträgers sind Kettenräder 5 und die zwei Ketten 6 angeordnet. Der Antrieb erfolgt über ein Kegelrad 9, das zwei Ritzelwellen 10 dreht. Das Kegelrad 9 wird von einem Motor oder dergleichen Antrieb (nicht näher dargestellt) angetrieben (direkt oder indirekt, mittels Übertragungsmittel) und setzt die beiden Ketten 6 mittels der Ritzelwellen 10 und der beiden hinteren Kettenräder 5 in Bewegung, sodass diese sich gegensinnig drehen. Auf der rechten Waffenseite bewegt sich der obere Trumm der Kette 6 in Schussrichtung, auf der linken Waffenseite läuft sie in die entgegengesetzte Richtung. Beide Ketten 6 haben jeweils einen Mitnehmernocken 7 und einen Steuernocken 8.Sprockets 5 and the two chains 6 are preferably arranged below the closure 3 or the closure guides 4 or another closure carrier. The drive takes place via a bevel gear 9 which rotates two pinion shafts 10. The bevel gear 9 is (not shown in detail) driven by a motor or similar drive (directly or indirectly, by means of transmission) and sets the two chains 6 by means of the pinion shafts 10 and the two rear sprockets 5 in motion, so that they rotate in opposite directions. On the right side of the weapon, the upper run of the chain 6 moves in the direction of firing, on the left side of the weapon it runs in the opposite direction. Both chains 6 each have a driving cam 7 and a control cam. 8
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Schlitten 11 , der quer zur Schussrichtung verschiebbar auf zwei Führungsbolzen unten am Verschluss 3 gelagert ist. In dem Schlitten 11 befindet sich eine Nut 12, in der die Mitnehmernocken 7 der Ketten 6 eingreifen, um den Verschluss 3 in Schussrichtung nach vorn bzw. nach hinten mitzunehmen.Fig. 2 shows a carriage 11 which is mounted transversely to the firing direction slidably mounted on two guide pins on the closure 3. In the carriage 11 is a groove 12 in which the drive cam 7 of the chains 6 engage to take the shutter 3 in the weft direction forward or backward.
Um den Verschluss 3 nach vorn zu transportieren, steckt der Mitnehmernocken 7 der rechten Kette 6 in der Nut 12, wobei sich der Schlitten 11 in seiner rechten Position befindet. Hierdurch wird eine in Längsrichtung der Waffe formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Antrieb und Verschluss 3 hergestellt, wobei der Verschluss 3 über eine durch den Radius der Kettenräder 5 vorgegebene Sinusfunktion beschleunigt bzw. abgebremst wird.In order to transport the closure 3 forward, the driving cam 7 of the right chain 6 is inserted in the groove 12, with the carriage 11 in its right position. As a result, a form-locking connection between drive and closure 3 is produced in the longitudinal direction of the weapon, the closure 3 being accelerated or braked by a sine function predetermined by the radius of the chain wheels 5.
Die Stillstandszeiten des Verschlusses 3 in der vorderen Endlage bzw. Position wird dadurch realisiert, dass der Mitnehmernocken 7 der rechten Kette 6 aus der Nut 12 des Schlittens 11 nach unten herausfährt und der Schlitten 1 1 gleichzeitig über seine Auflauframpe 13 durch den Steuernocken 8 selbiger Kette 6 in seine mittlere Position verschoben wird. Damit befindet sich der obere Steg eines waffengehäusefesten Halters 14 in der Nut 12, wodurch der Verschluss 3 in seiner vorderen Position formschlüssig mit dem Waffengehäuse verbunden wird. In dieser Position kommt der Schlitten 11 weder mit dem Mitnehmernocken 7 der rechten noch der linken Kette 6 zum Eingriff.The downtime of the shutter 3 in the front end position or position is realized in that the drive cam 7 of the right chain 6 out of the groove 12 of the carriage 11 moves down and the carriage 1 1 at the same time on its ramp 13 by the control cam 8 selbiger chain 6 is moved to its middle position. This is the upper web of a gun housing fixed holder 14 in the groove 12, whereby the shutter 3 is positively connected in its forward position with the weapon housing becomes. In this position, the carriage 11 comes with neither the drive cam 7 of the right nor the left chain 6 for engagement.
Zur Sicherung des Schlittens 11 in der rechten, linken bzw. mittleren Position gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Verschieben, greifen in einer einfachen Variante schräge Flächen an der Unterseite des Bolzens 18 gegen parallel angeordnete Flächen 19 vom Schlitten 11. Eine Feder drückt dabei den Bolzen 18 permanent gegen die Fläche 19 und stellt so sicher, dass der Schlitten 11 nur gegen eine entsprechend hohe Kraft quer zum Verschluss 3 verschoben werden kann.To secure the carriage 11 in the right, left or middle position against unintentional displacement, engage in a simple variant oblique surfaces on the underside of the bolt 18 against parallel surfaces 19 of the carriage 11. A spring presses the bolt 18 permanently against the surface 19 and thus ensures that the carriage 11 can be moved only against a correspondingly high force across the shutter 3.
In der vorderen, verriegelten Position des Verschlusses 3 wird ein Schlagbolzen (nicht näher dargestellt) ausgelöst, wodurch ein Schuss erfolgt. Daraufhin setzt ein Waffenrücklauf ein, der zum Verschieben des Schlittens 11 in seine linke Position genutzt werden kann. Alternativ kann auch ein sich aufbauender Gasdruck verwendet werden.In the front, locked position of the shutter 3, a firing pin (not shown in detail) is triggered, whereby a shot is made. Thereupon sets in a weapon return, which can be used to move the carriage 11 in its left position. Alternatively, an expanding gas pressure can also be used.
Der für diese Funktion verwendete Hebel 15 ist als beispielhaft zu betrachten. Diese Funktion könnte auch auf eine andere Art und Weise, wie beispielweise die Nutzung des Gasdrucks anstelle des Waffenrücklaufs oder mit einer zwischengeschalteten Pufferfeder dargestellt werden. Letztere könnte die unterschiedlich langen Waffe nrückl auf e besser tolerieren.The lever 15 used for this function is to be regarded as exemplary. This function could also be represented in a different way, such as using the gas pressure instead of the weapon return or with an intermediate buffer spring. The latter could better tolerate the different length of the weapon.
Der Hebel 15 in Fig. 3 wird beim Waffenrücklauf durch den Nocken 21 (Fig. 2) der Rohrverriegelung 2 gedreht und verschiebt mit seiner keilförmigen Nase 16 den Schlitten 11 an seiner Fase 20 (Fig. 4) in seine linke Position.The lever 15 in Fig. 3 is rotated in the weapon return through the cam 21 (Fig. 2) of the pipe lock 2 and moves with its wedge-shaped nose 16, the carriage 11 at its chamfer 20 (Fig. 4) in its left position.
Fig. 5 zeigt diese Stellung gegen die Schussrichtung gesehen (mit leichten Abweichungen der korrekten Position der Mitnehmer- und Steuernocken 7, 8). Damit der Verschluss 3 bis zum Beginn seiner Rückwärtsbewegung in seiner vorderen Position verriegelt bleibt, ist am Halter 14 eine Sperrklinke 17 schwenkbar angeordnet. Die Sperrklinke 17 greift in die Nut 12 des Schlittens 11 und hält dadurch den Verschluss 3 in seiner Position.Fig. 5 shows this position against the weft direction seen (with slight deviations of the correct position of the driving and control cam 7, 8). In order for the closure 3 remains locked in its forward position until the beginning of its backward movement, a pawl 17 is pivotally mounted on the holder 14. The pawl 17 engages in the groove 12 of the carriage 11 and thereby holds the shutter 3 in its position.
Der Mitnehmernocken 7 der linken Kette 6 läuft dann von unten in die Nut 12 des Schlittens 11 ein, wobei die Sperrklinke 17 aus der Nut 12 gedrückt wird und den Verschluss 3 gegen die Schussrichtung in seine hintere Position verschoben werden kann. In der hinteren Position verlässt der Mitnehmernocken 7 der linken Kette 6 die Nut 12 des Schlittens 11 während der Steuernocken 8 selbiger Kette 6 den Schlitten wieder in seine mittlere Position verschiebt. Auch in der hintern Position ist ein nicht näher dargestellter Halter vorgesehen, der den Verschluss 3 in dieser Stellung formschlüssig mit dem Waffengehäuse verbindet. Nach Zuführen einer neuen Patrone, wird durch einen Hebel beispielsweise eines Zuführers der Schlitten 11 auf die rechte Waffenseite verschoben, sodass der Mitnehmemocken 7 der echten Kette 6 den Verschluss 3 wieder mit nach vorne nimmt.The drive cam 7 of the left chain 6 then runs from below into the groove 12 of the carriage 11, wherein the pawl 17 is pushed out of the groove 12 and the shutter 3 can be moved against the weft direction in its rear position. In the rearward position, the driving cam 7 of the left chain 6 leaves the groove 12 of the carriage 11 while the control cam 8 of the same chain 6 moves the carriage back to its middle position. Also in the rear position, a holder not shown in detail is provided, which connects the closure 3 in this position form-fitting manner with the weapon housing. After supplying a new cartridge, the carriage 11 is moved to the right side of the weapon by a lever, for example, a feeder, so that the driving cam 7 of the real chain 6 takes the shutter 3 again with forward.
Bleibt der Schuss jedoch aus, verbleibt der Schlitten 1 1 in seiner mittleren Position, wenn dieser vorn ist. Da in dieser Position der Schlitten 11 weder mit dem Mitnehmernocken 7 der rechten noch der linken Kette 6 zum Eingriff kommt, kann auch kein Entriegeln sowie kein Weitertransport des Verschlusses 3 in seine hintere Position erfolgten.However, if the shot remains off, the carriage 11 remains in its middle position when it is at the front. Since in this position, the carriage 11 comes with neither the driving cam 7 of the right and the left chain 6 for engagement, no unlocking and no further transport of the shutter 3 in its rear position can be done.
Es versteht sich, dass im Rahmen des erfinderischen Gedankens auch zwei Motore als eigenständige Antriebe der rechten als auch der linken Kette 6 verwendet werden können. Dies erfordert eine Synchronisierung der beiden Motore und den leichten Beigeschmack, dass die gesamte Antriebseinheit größer bauend wird. It is understood that within the scope of the inventive idea, two motors can be used as independent drives of the right and the left chain 6. This requires synchronization of the two motors and the slight aftertaste that the entire drive unit will become larger.
