Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Portionieren von Treibladungen.The invention relates to a device and a method for portioning propellant charges.
Vor allem im Bereich großkalibriger Waffensysteme, wie etwa Kampfpanzern und Artilleriegeschützen, wird die eigentliche Waffe mit getrennter Munition bestehend aus dem zu verschießenden Munitionskörper und einer separaten, zur Beschleunigung des Munitionskörpers zündbaren Treibladung betrieben. Im Gegensatz zu patronierter Munition besteht bei geteilter Munition die Möglichkeit, die Treibladungsmenge bei Bedarf zu variieren, um weiter entfernt liegende oder näher gelegene Ziele unter Beschuss nehmen zu können.Especially in the field of large caliber weapons systems, such as battle tanks and artillery pieces, the actual weapon is operated with separate ammunition consisting of the ammunition to be fired and a separate, ignitable to accelerate the ammunition body propellant. Unlike cartridged ammunition, split ammunition has the potential to If necessary, vary the amount of propellant in order to attack more distant or nearby targets.
Die Treibladung setzt sich häufig aus mehreren Treibladungsmodulen zusammen, die über stirn- und bodenseitige Verbindungsbereiche zu unterschiedlich großen Treibladungen zusammengesteckt werden können.The propellant charge is often composed of several propellant charge modules that can be put together on the front and bottom connecting areas to different sized propellant charges.
Die einzelnen Treibladungsmodule bestehen üblicherweise aus einer dünnen Außenhaut, beispielsweise aus einem Pappmaterial oder aus Kunststoff, die beim nicht sachgerechten Zusammenstecken oder beim von Zeit zu Zeit erforderlichen Vereinzeln der Treibladungsmodule leicht beschädigt werden kann. Üblicherweise werden die Treibladungsmodule herstellerseitig als zusammengesteckte Pakete von beispielsweise acht Treibladungsmodulen angeliefert, die anschließend vereinzelt werden müssen, bevor sie im Inneren des Waffensystems verstaut werden. Im Bedarfsfall wird dann eine bestimmte Anzahl Treibladungsmodule zu einer Treibladungsportion mit der gewünschten Treibladungsmenge zusammengesteckt und - sofern beispielsweise im Rahmen von Manövern keine Schussabgabe erfolgt - anschließend wieder vereinzelt.The individual propellant charge modules usually consist of a thin outer skin, for example of a cardboard material or plastic, which can be easily damaged when not properly mating or when required from time to time separation of the propellant charge modules. Usually, the propellant charge modules are supplied by the manufacturer as mated packages of, for example, eight propellant charge modules, which subsequently have to be singulated before they are stowed inside the weapon system. If necessary, then a certain number of propellant charge modules is assembled to a propellant charge portion with the desired amount of propellant charge and - if, for example, in the context of maneuvers no firing takes place - then separated again.
Es kann daher vorkommen, dass ein Treibladungsmodul mehrmals zu einer Treibladung zusammengesteckt und anschließend wieder vereinzelt wird. Zum Vereinzeln werden die ineinander gesteckten Treibladungsmodule üblicherweise auf eine Kante aufgelegt und das zu vereinzelnde Treibladungsmodul dann von oben her mit einer Kraft beaufschlagt, wodurch die Steckverbindung zwischen den Treibladungsmodulen gelöst werden soll. Da die Treibladungsmodule aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen oftmals sehr fest ineinander stecken, kann es hierbei zu unerwünschten Beschädigungen der Außenhaut der Treibladungsmodule kommen, was unter Umständen dazu führt, dass diese nicht weiter verwendet werden können.It may therefore happen that a propellant charge module is plugged together several times to a propellant charge and then separated again. To isolate the nested propellant charge modules are usually placed on an edge and then applied to be separated propellant charge module from above with a force, whereby the connector between the propellant charge modules to be solved. Since the propellant charge modules often very tightly stuck together due to manufacturing tolerances, this can lead to unwanted damage to the outer skin of the propellant charge modules, which under certain circumstances means that they can not be used.
Um derartige Probleme zu vermeiden, sind zum Teil konstruktiv aufwändig gestaltete Vorrichtungen bekannt, mit denen sich die Treibladungsmodule durch Zusammenstecken zu einer Treibladung der gewünschten Größe portionieren und ggf. auch wieder in Einzelportionen vereinzelt lassen. In der
Darüber hinaus sind aus dem Rohrleitungsbau Vorrichtungen bekannt, die zwei Halteelemente zur Aufnahme jeweils eines Rohres aufweisen, die manuell derart zueinander bewegbar sind, dass die Rohre zusammengefügt oder getrennt werden können. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine in konstruktiver Hinsicht einfach aufgebaute Vorrichtung wie auch ein Verfahren zum Portionieren einer Treibladung anzugeben, bei welchen die Gefahr von Beschädigungen der Treibladungsmodule gering ist.The object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple device as well as a method for portioning a propellant charge, in which the risk of damage to the propellant charge modules is low.
Bei einer Vorrichtung zum Portionieren einer Treibladung aus zusammensteckbaren Treibladungsmodulen wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe vorgeschlagen, dass diese zwei Halteelemente zur Aufnahme jeweils mindestens eines Treibladungsmoduls aufweist, die zum Portionieren der Treibladung manuell gegeneinander bewegbar sind.In a device for portioning a propellant charge of pluggable propellant charge modules is proposed to solve the problem that this comprises two holding elements for receiving in each case at least one propellant charge module, which are manually movable against each other for portioning the propellant charge.
Erfindungsgemäß sind die Halteelemente über ein Getriebe derart miteinander koppelbar, dass eine Drehbewegung der Halteelemente in einer Axialbewegung der in den Halteelementen aufgenommenen Treibladungsmodule überführt wird. Denkbar sind verschiedene Arten von Getrieben, welche eine Drehbewegung der Halteelemente in einer Axialbewegung der Treibladungsmodule überführen. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sich ein Schraubengetriebe als in konstruktiver Hinsicht besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, welches die Drehbewegung der Halteelemente in eine Axialbewegung der Treibladungsmodulen überführt, durch welche sich die Steckverbindung zwischen den Treibladungsmodulen herstellen bzw. trennen lässt.According to the invention, the holding elements can be coupled to one another by way of a gear mechanism such that a rotational movement of the holding elements is converted into an axial movement of the propellant charge modules accommodated in the holding elements. Conceivable are various types of transmissions, which convert a rotational movement of the holding elements in an axial movement of the propellant charge modules. In this context, a screw gear has proven to be particularly advantageous in terms of design, which converts the rotational movement of the holding elements in an axial movement of the propellant charge modules, through which the plug connection between the propellant charge modules can be produced or separated.
Eine derartige Ausgestaltung erlaubt einen konstruktiv einfachen, von externen Energiequellen unabhängigen Aufbau der Vorrichtung zum Portionieren der Treibladung. Durch manuelles Gegeneinanderbewegen lassen sich die Treibladungen auf einfache Weise portionieren. Mit der Vorrichtung können Treibladungsmodule zu einer größeren Treibladung zusammengesteckt oder zusammengesteckte Treibladungsmodule vereinzelt werden, ohne dass dabei Beschädigungen der Treibladungsmodule zu befürchten sind.Such a configuration allows a structurally simple, independent of external energy sources construction of the device for portioning the propellant charge. By manually moving against each other, the propellant charges can be portioned in a simple manner. With the device propellant charge modules can be plugged together to form a larger propellant charge or put together propellant charge modules, without doing so Damage to the propellant charge modules are to be feared.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die Halteelemente derart ausgebildet sind, dass sie das Treibladungsmodul unter Druckeinwirkung halten. Durch Aufbringen des Haltedrucks können die Treibladungsmodule auf einfache Weise in dem Halteelement gehalten und durch Entlastung wieder frei gegeben werden.An advantageous embodiment provides that the holding elements are designed such that they hold the propellant charge module under pressure. By applying the holding pressure, the propellant charge modules can be kept in a simple manner in the holding element and released by discharge again.
Von konstruktivem Vorteil ist in diesem Zusammenhang ferner eine Ausgestaltung, nach welcher die Halteelemente zwei zangenartig miteinander gelenkgekoppelte Spannelemente aufweisen. Durch Betätigung der zangenartig miteinander gekoppelten Spannelemente lässt sich der erforderliche Haltedruck manuell auf die Treibladungsmodule aufbringen.Of constructive advantage in this context is also an embodiment, according to which the holding elements have two pincer-like articulated clamping elements. By actuating the forceps-like coupled clamping elements, the required holding pressure can be manually applied to the propellant charge modules.
Um eine definierte Anlage der Treibladungsmodule in den Halteelementen zu erreichen, wird gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgeschlagen, dass an der Innenseite der Spannelemente Druckstücke zur Anlage des Treibladungsmoduls angeordnet sind. Vorteilhaft bestehen die Druckstücke aus einem gummielastischen Material, wodurch sich eine die Hülle der Treibladungsmodule schonende Anlage ergibt. Auch können die Druckstücke derart federbelastet ausgebildet sein, dass sich deren Feder beim Anlegen der Druckstücke an die Treibladungsmodule spannt. Es ergibt sich eine definierte Druckbegrenzung, durch welche eine Beschädigung des Treibladungsmoduls vermieden wird.In order to achieve a defined system of propellant charge modules in the holding elements, it is proposed according to a further embodiment that on the inside of the clamping elements plungers are arranged for conditioning of the propellant charge module. Advantageously, the pressure pieces made of a rubber-elastic material, resulting in a shell of the propellant charge modules gentle system. Also, the plungers may be designed so spring loaded that their spring spans when creating the plungers to the propellant charge modules. This results in a defined pressure limitation, by which damage to the propellant charge module is avoided.
Im Hinblick auf eine einfache Handhabung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Spannelemente Griffe aufweisen, über welche die Spannelemente gegen die Treibladungsmodule spannbar sind. Durch Ergreifen der Griffe kann auf diese Weise gleichzeitig eine Relativbewegung zwischen den beiden Halteelementen erzeugt und der erforderliche Haltedruck auf das Treibladungsmodul ausgeübt werden, wodurch sich eine besonders bedienerfreundliche Ausgestaltung ergibt.With a view to easy handling, it is proposed that the clamping elements have handles by means of which the clamping elements can be tensioned against the propellant charge modules. By gripping the handles, a relative movement between the two holding elements can be generated in this way at the same time and the required holding pressure is exerted on the propellant charge module which results in a particularly user-friendly design.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Halteelemente zum Portionieren der Treibladung miteinander koppelbar sind. Nachdem die beiden Halteelemente miteinander gekoppelt wurden, kann über die Kopplung eine definierte Relativbewegung der Halteelemente und damit der Treibladungsmodule erzeugt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the holding elements for portioning the propellant charge can be coupled to one another. After the two holding elements have been coupled together, a defined relative movement of the holding elements and thus the propellant charge modules can be generated via the coupling.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass eines der Halteelemente eine Nut und das andere einen in die Nut einbringbaren Nutenstein aufweist. Durch die Bewegung des Nutensteins innerhalb der Nut ergibt sich auf konstruktiv einfache Weise eine geführte Bewegung der Halteelemente.A further embodiment provides that one of the holding elements has a groove and the other has a slot nut which can be introduced into the groove. The movement of the sliding block within the groove results in a structurally simple manner a guided movement of the holding elements.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es weiter von Vorteil, wenn die Nut einen sich axial erstreckenden Axialbereich und einen demgegenüber abgewinkelt verlaufenden Schrägbereich aufweist. Der Nutenstein kann, je nachdem ob ein Trennen oder Zusammenstecken zweier Treibladungsmodule gewünscht ist, entweder über den Schrägbereich oder über den Axialbereich in die Nut eintreten.In this context, it is also advantageous if the groove has an axially extending axial region and an angle extending obliquely contrasting. The nut can, depending on whether a disconnect or mating of two propellant charge modules is desired, either enter the groove over the oblique region or over the axial region.
Darüber hinaus wird bei einem Verfahren zum Portionieren von Treibladung zur Lösung der vorstehend genannten Aufgabe vorgeschlagen, dass die Treibladungsmodule über eine Vorrichtung der zuvor beschriebenen Art gegeneinander bewegt werden.Moreover, in a method for portioning propellant charge for achieving the above-mentioned object, it is proposed that the propellant charge modules are moved against each other via a device of the type described above.
Ein solches Verfahren erlaubt ein einfaches, von externen Energiequellen unabhängiges Portionieren der Treibladung. Durch manuelles Gegeneinanderbewegen lassen sich die Treibladungen auf einfache Weise portionieren. Mit der Vorrichtung können Treibladungsmodule zu einer größeren Treibladung zusammengesteckt oder zusammengesteckte Treibladungsmodule vereinzelt werden, ohne dass dabei Beschädigungen der Treibladungsmodule zu befürchten stünden.Such a method allows a simple, independent of external energy sources portioning the propellant charge. By manually moving against each other, the propellant charges can be portioned in a simple manner. With the device propellant charge modules can be plugged together to form a larger propellant charge or put together propellant charge modules, without causing damage to the propellant charge modules to be feared.
In Weiterbildung des Verfahrens wird ferner vorgeschlagen, dass die beiden Halteelemente zunächst an jeweils mindestens einem Treibladungsmodul angesetzt und anschließend miteinander gekoppelt werden.In a further development of the method, it is further proposed that the two holding elements are first attached to at least one propellant charge module and then coupled together.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die miteinander gekoppelten Halteelemente gegeneinander verdreht werden und die Drehbewegung der Halteelemente in eine Axialbewegung der in den Halteelementen aufgenommenen Treibladungsmodule überführt wird. Hierdurch lässt sich ein definiertes Portionieren der Treibladung erreichen.In a further embodiment, it is proposed that the mutually coupled holding elements are rotated against each other and the rotational movement of the holding elements is converted into an axial movement of the recorded in the holding elements propellant charge modules. This makes it possible to achieve a defined portioning of the propellant charge.

Da die Treibladungsmodule 2 üblicherweise aus einer leicht beschädigbaren Außenhülle bestehen, sind an der Innenseite 8 der Spannelemente 5, 6 Druckstücke 9 vorgesehen, über welche der Druck an mehreren Stellen definiert auf die Hüllen der Treibladungsmodule 2 aufgebracht wird. Die Druckstücke 9 bestehen aus einem gummielastischen Material, wodurch sich eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung auf den Hüllen der Treibladungsmodule 2 erzeugen lässt. Ferner sind die Druckstücke 9 über einen in den Figuren nicht im Einzelnen dargestellten Federspannmechanismus in Richtung der Treibladungsmodule 2 vorgespannt, so dass sich die Druckstücke 9 beim Aufbringen eines Drucks auf die Treibladungsmodule 2 entgegen dem Druck der Feder in Richtung der Innenseite 8 der Spannelemente 5, 6 bewegen, wodurch sich der auf die Treibladungsmodule 2 aufgebrachte Druck begrenzen lässt.Since the
Wie insbesondere die Darstellung in
Um zwei solchermaßen zusammengesteckte Treibladungsmodule 2 definiert von einander trennen zu können, ohne dass dabei die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Hülle des Treibladungsmoduls 2 besteht, wird zunächst die eine Haltevorrichtung 3 auf ein Treibladungsmodul 2 aufgesetzt. Anschließend wird die zweite Haltevorrichtung 4 auf dem benachbarten Treibladungsmodul 2 aufgesetzt. Anschließend werden die beiden Halteelemente 3, 4 über ein Getriebe 12 miteinander gekoppelt, vgl. auch die Darstellung in
Das zur Kopplung der Halteelemente 3, 4 dienende Getriebe 12 ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Art eines Schraubengetriebes ausgebildet. Hierzu weist die eine Haltevorrichtung 3 im Bereich ihres auf die andere Haltevorrichtung 4 zuweisenden Endes eine Nut 13 auf. Die Nut 13 besteht aus einem sich in Axialrichtung der Treibladungsmodule 2 erstreckenden Axialbereich 13.1 und einem gegenüber dem Axialbereich 13.1 abgeschrägt verlaufenden Schrägbereich 13.2. Sowohl der Axialbereich 13.1 als auch der Schrägbereich 13.2 laufen in einer Stirnseite des Halteelements 3 aus, weshalb ein Nutenstein 14 aus axialer Richtung her kommend sowohl in den Axialbereich 13.1 wie auch den Schrägbereich 13.2 der Nut 13 einbringbar ist. Der Nutenstein 14 ist an der Innenseite eines an dem Halteelement 4 angeordneten Ringbereichs 14.1 angeordnet und weist in Richtung des Inneren des Halteelements 4.The serving for coupling the holding
Nach dem zunächst losen Aufsetzen beider Halteelemente 3, 4 auf die Treibladungsmodule 2 kann das Halteelement 4 und mit diesem der Nutenstein 14 gegenüber dem Halteelement 3 bewegt werden. Dabei tritt der Nutenstein 14 in den Axialbereich 13.1 der Nut 13 ein, bis die in
In dieser Stellung kann eine Bedienperson die Halteelemente 3, 4 an deren Griffen 10, 11 ergreifen, wodurch zum einen die erforderliche Klemmwirkung auf die Treibladungsmodule 2 erzeugt und zum anderen die Möglichkeit eröffnet wird, die Halteelemente 3, 4 gegeneinander zu verdrehen. Der gegenseitigen Drehbewegung der Halteelemente 3, 4 wird über das Getriebe 12 eine Axialbewegung hinzugefügt, so dass die zusammengesteckten Treibladungsmodule 2 axial voneinander getrennt werden. Beim Drehen der Halteelemente 3, 4 tritt der Nutenstein 14 in den Schrägbereich 13.2 der Nut 13 ein, wodurch die erforderliche Axialbewegung auf kraftsparende und definierte Weise erzeugt wird. Sowohl die Dreh- als auch die Axialbewegung wird auf die Treibladungsmodule 2 übertragen, so dass diese sich bei gleichzeitigem Gegeneinanderdrehen axial voneinander lösen, bis die Steckverbindung aufgehoben ist.In this position, an operator can grab the holding
In
Die Halteelemente 3, 4 sind nach Verlassen des Nutensteins 14 aus dem Schrägbereich 13.2 wieder voneinander entkoppelt und die Treibladungsmodule 2 voneinander getrennt, vgl. auch die Darstellungen in den
Beim Zusammenstecken zweier Treibladungsmodule 2 sind die Vorgänge ähnlich, jedoch tritt in diesem Fall der Nutenstein 14 nicht über den Axialbereich 13.1 in die Nut 13 ein, sondern über deren Schrägbereich 13.2, so dass beim gegenseitigen Verdrehen der Halteelemente 3, 4 eine aufeinander zu weisende Axialbewegung der Treibladungsmodule 2 erzeugt wird, die dazu führt, dass die Treibladungsmodule 2 stirn- und bodenseitig miteinander verbunden werden.When plugging two
Die vorstehend beschriebene Vorrichtung 1 zum Portionieren von Treibladungen zeichnet sich durch eine vergleichsweise einfache, von externen Energiequellen unabhängige Konstruktion aus und ist auch von ungeübten Bedienern ohne Weiteres bedienbar. Beschädigungen der Treibladungsmodule 2 werden auch bei mehrfachem Verbinden bzw. Trennen vermieden.The above-described
