Description

BESCHREIBUNG  DESCRIPTION
Waffe mit einem Rohrbünde] Weapon with a pipe coil]
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einer Waffe, insbesondere mit einer Kleinkaliberwaffe, die mehrere Waffenrohre umfasst, welche zu einem Rohrbündel zusammengefasst sind. Mit dem Rohrbündel wird eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, vor Ort einen unabhängig vom Schuss erwünschten Rohrwechsel vornehmen zu können. Der Wechsel minimiert nicht nur die Schussbelastung des Einzelrohres, sondern erhöht die Einsatzdauer der Waffe. Zudem wird eine Funktionssicherheit der Waffe im Einsatz besser gewährleistet. Insbesondere kann die Waffe während des Transportes bzw. bei Nichtgebrauch in eine Sicherungsposition überführt werden, in der kein Waffenrohr vor dem Verschluss zum Liegen kommt. The invention relates to a weapon, in particular with a small caliber weapon, which comprises a plurality of weapon tubes, which are combined to form a tube bundle. With the tube bundle a possibility is created to be able to make on site a desired regardless of the shot tube change. The change not only minimizes the shot load of the single tube, but increases the service life of the weapon. In addition, a functional reliability of the weapon is better ensured in use. In particular, the weapon can be transferred during transport or when not in use in a secure position in which no gun barrel comes to rest before closing.
Bei Maschinenwaffen bzw. Maschinengewehren kommt es in der Regel bei lang anhaltendem Einsatz auch aufgrund der hohen Kadenz und hohen Schusszahien zur Erhitzung des Waffenrohres. Wird eine gewisse Grenztemperatur oder Schusszahl erreicht bzw. überschritten, bedingt dieses u.a. einen Verschleiß des Waffenrohres. Das Waffenrohr muss gewechselt werden. In machine guns or machine guns, it usually comes in long-lasting use due to the high cadence and high Schusszahien to heat the gun barrel. If a certain limit temperature or number of shots is reached or exceeded, this is conditional, inter alia. a wear of the weapon barrel. The gun barrel needs to be changed.
Zur Verschleißminderung der einzelnen Rohre sind Laufbündelwaffen bekannt. Sogenannte Laufbündelwaffen werden auch als Gatling bezeichnet. Bei Gatlings sind mehrere Läufe so um eine Achse konzentriert, dass sie als Bündel rotieren. Jeder Lauf besitzt einen eigenen Verschluss und ein eigenes Zündsystem, beispielsweise einen eigenen Schlagbolzen. Die Verschlüsse werden während einer vollen Umdrehung des Laufbündeis entriegelt, geöffnet und wieder verriegelt. Beim Öffnen und beim Verriegeln erfolgt die Nachladefunktion, wobei eine Patrone in den geöffneten Verschluss eines Laufes geführt wird. Der Lauf wird weiter gedreht, die Patrone in das Patronenlager geführt und gezündet. Bei weiterer Drehung wird der Verschluss dann wieder zurückgezogen, wobei die leere Patronenhülse ausgezogen und ausgeworfen wird. Dieser Prozess läuft bei allen Läufen kontinuierlich ab. Jeder Lauf gibt pro Umdrehung einen Schuss ab. To reduce the wear of the individual tubes barrel guns are known. So-called barrel weapons are also referred to as Gatling. In Gatlings, several runs are concentrated around an axis so that they rotate in bundles. Each barrel has its own lock and its own ignition system, such as its own firing pin. The locks are unlocked, opened, and locked again during a full turn of the tether. When opening and locking, the reload function takes place, whereby a cartridge is guided into the opened closure of a barrel. The barrel is turned further, the cartridge is guided into the cartridge chamber and ignited. Upon further rotation of the shutter is then withdrawn, with the empty cartridge case pulled out and is ejected. This process runs continuously for all runs. Each run gives one shot per turn.
Eine Mehrrohrwaffe sowie ein dazugehörendes Gurtsystem offenbart die DE 10 2010 007 876 A1. Die Mehrrohrwaffe umfasst hierbei sechs Läufe, die drehbar um eine Drehachse in Form eines Laufbündels am vorderen Waffenteil gelagert sind. Der Antrieb erfolgt hierbei elektrisch. Mit den Läufen funktional verbunden ist ein Verschlussteil, der mehrere Schlagbolzen in Anzahl der Läufe aufweist, die auf die Läufe ausgerichtet sind. Auch die WO 2011/046653 A2 und die US 3,698,283 A offenbaren eine Mehrrohrwaffe. Der Laufrohrwech- se! erfolgt auch hierbei schussabhängig. A multi-tube weapon and an associated belt system is disclosed in DE 10 2010 007 876 A1. The multi-tube weapon in this case comprises six runs, which are rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation in the form of a barrel bundle on the front weapon part. The drive is done electrically. Functionally connected to the barrels is a closure member having a plurality of strikes in number of barrels aligned with the barrels. WO 2011/046653 A2 and US Pat. No. 3,698,283 A also disclose a multi-tube weapon. The barrel change! also takes place depending on the shot.
Eine mehrläufige automatische Waffe wird mit der DE 2 1 11 060 A1 beschrieben, die mehrere, um eine gemeinsame Achse drehbar gelagerte Geschützrohre aufweist, ähnlich aufgebaut wie GatNngs. Der Vorteil dieser Waffenart liegt hierbei darin, dass die Schussbelastung für das einzelne Rohr insbesondere beim Dauerfeuer minimiert und auf alle Rohre aufgeteilt wird. Der Vorteil der DE 2 11 1 060 A1 ist, dass mit dieser Waffe auch hülsenlose Munition verschossen werden kann. A multi-barrel automatic weapon is described in DE 2 1 11 060 A1, which has a plurality of gun tubes rotatably mounted about a common axis, constructed in a similar way to GatNngs. The advantage of this type of weapon lies in the fact that the shot load for the single tube is minimized, especially in continuous fire and distributed to all tubes. The advantage of DE 2 11 1 060 A1 is that caseless ammunition can be fired with this weapon.
Diese Idee aufgreifend, schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung eine Art Rohrbündel mit mehreren Waffenrohren, bevorzugt drei, für eine insbesondere Kleinkaiiberwaffe vor. Nach beispielsweise einer längeren Schussbelastung eines der Waffenrohre wird über eine Rohrwechseleinrichtung, die funktional mit einer Steuerkurve des Rohrbündels zusammenwirkt, ein anderes Waffenrohr vor den Verschluss gebracht, unabhängig vom Schuss selbst. Dadurch kann das belastete und erhitzte Waffenrohr durch ein anderes ersetzt werden. Das erfolgt durch einfaches Drehen der Waffenrohre innerhalb einer speziellen Halterung an der Waffe bzw. einem Waffengehäuse für die Waffenrohre. Taking up this idea, the present invention proposes a kind of tube bundle with several weapon tubes, preferably three, for a particular Kleinkaiiberwaffe. After, for example, a prolonged firing load of one of the gun barrels, another gun barrel is placed in front of the shutter via a pipe changing device, which cooperates functionally with a control cam of the tube bundle, regardless of the shot itself. Thus, the loaded and heated gun barrel can be replaced by another. This is done by simply turning the gun tubes within a special holder on the weapon or a weapon housing for the weapon tubes.
Führungskurven für Trommelwaffen sind dem Fachmann bekannt. So offenbart die DE 10 2008 018 892 B3 eine Trommelwaffe, die ein Waffenrohr und eine Trommel mit mehreren darin befindlichen Patronenlagern umfasst. Über die Trommel werden die Patronen dem Waffenrohr schrittweise zugeführt. Die Funktionssteuerung für das Zuführen einer Munition über die Trommel ist umfangsseitig als Trommelschaltung in Form einer Führungskurve eingebunden. Die Trommel selbst wird über einen Schaltschieber gedreht, der mehrteilig ist und durch eine waffenseitige Steuerkurve geführt wird. Guide curves for drum weapons are known in the art. Thus, DE 10 2008 018 892 B3 discloses a drum weapon which comprises a weapon barrel and a drum with a plurality of cartridge bearings located therein. About the drum, the cartridges are supplied to the gun barrel gradually. The function control for feeding an ammunition over the drum is peripherally involved as a drum circuit in the form of a guide curve. The drum itself is rotated via a slide switch, which is multi-part and is guided by an arm-side control cam.
Eine Trommelschaltung mit Führungskurve offenbart auch die DE 10 2008 015 893 B4. Diese Führungskurve zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie als unterteilte Führungskurve ausge- führt ist. Dadurch lässt sich die Länge der Trommei reduzieren. Einen Trommel- und Munitionsantrieb mit einem um ein Waffenrohr angeordneten Steuerkörper offenbart die DE 10 2008 063 768 B4. Hierbei steht ein Fremdantrieb mit der Steuerkurve in funktionaler Verbindung. Dabei greift ein Mitnehmer in die Steuerkurve, durch die das Drehen der Trommel stattfindet, wenn der Mitnehmer innerhalb der Steuerkurve nach vorne in Schussrichtung geführt wird. A drum circuit with guide curve is also disclosed in DE 10 2008 015 893 B4. This guide curve is characterized by the fact that it is designed as a subdivided guide curve. leads is. This reduces the length of the drumming. A drum and ammunition drive with a control body arranged around a weapon barrel is disclosed in DE 10 2008 063 768 B4. Here is a third-party drive with the control cam in a functional connection. In this case, a driver engages in the control cam, through which the rotation of the drum takes place when the driver is guided within the control cam forward in the weft direction.
Der Rohrwechsel bzw. die Verstellung des einzelnen Rohres gemäß der Erfindung selbst kann durch einen Bediener oder automatisch vorgenommen werden. Bei einem automatischen Wechsel kann die Schussanzahl berücksichtigt werden, aus der die Belastung des aktuellen Waffenrohres abgeleitet werden kann. Wird eine vorgebbare Schussbelastung ermittelt, z.B. über einen Schusszähler (EP 2 518 430 A2), kann ein Drehen des Waffenrohres vollzogen werden. Alternativen sind denkbar, wie z.B. Temperatursensoren etc., die an den Waffenrohren angebracht sind und ein Signal auslösen, wenn eine vorgegebene Temperatur am Waffenrohr überschritten wird. Dann kann der Schussbetrieb der Waffe unterbrochen und der Rohrwechsel vollzogen werden. The tube change or the adjustment of the individual tube according to the invention itself can be made by an operator or automatically. In an automatic change, the number of shots can be taken into account, from which the burden of the current gun barrel can be derived. If a predefinable shot load is determined, e.g. a shot counter (EP 2 518 430 A2), a rotation of the gun barrel can be completed. Alternatives are conceivable, such as e.g. Temperature sensors, etc., which are attached to the weapon tubes and trigger a signal when a predetermined temperature is exceeded at the gun barrel. Then the shot operation of the weapon can be interrupted and the tube change completed.
Das Rohrbündel wird für diese Aufgabe in einer besonderen Lagerung nicht nur gelagert, sondern in dieser auch drehbeweglich gehalten. Diese Lagerung zeichnet sich durch eine vordere feststehende Lünette und eine hintere feststehende Lünette aus, die je ein klappbares, abnehmbares oder schwenkbares Oberteil besitzen. In diesen Lünetten sind Gleitrollen eingebunden, die ein Drehen des Rohrbündels unterstützen. Diese Konstruktion erlaubt, anders als die Lösung in der US 7,448,306 B2, einen einfachen Wechsel der Waffenrohre in ihrer Gesamtheit als Rohrbündef. Die US 7,448,306 B2 offenbart eine Halterung für einen Granatwerfer, die verschraubbare Bügel umfasst. The tube bundle is not only stored for this task in a special storage, but also held in this rotatable. This storage is characterized by a front fixed bezel and a rear fixed bezel, each having a hinged, removable or swiveling upper part. Sliding rollers are integrated in these steady rests, which support a rotation of the tube bundle. This design allows, unlike the solution in US 7,448,306 B2, a simple change of the weapon tubes in their entirety as Rohrbündef. US Pat. No. 7,448,306 B2 discloses a holder for a grenade launcher, which comprises screw-on stirrups.
Die Waffenrohre sind ihrerseits bevorzugt in einer gemeinsamen Halterung eingebunden, die ähnlich einer Trommel umfangsseitig in einem Teilbereich einen Steuerkörper aufweist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung sind die Waffenrohre in der Halterung bzw. dem Rohrbündel fest eingesteckt und verstemmt, sodass sie auch einzeln einfacher austauschbar sind. The weapon tubes are in turn preferably integrated in a common mount which, like a drum, has a control body circumferentially in a partial region. In a preferred embodiment, the weapon tubes are firmly inserted and caulked in the holder or the tube bundle, so that they are also individually exchangeable easier.
Der vordere Abschnitt der Waffenrohrlagerung / -halterung ist mit einem größeren Innendurchmesser als das / die zu lagemde(n) Waffenrohr(e) versehen. In diesem Abschnitt ist pro Waffenrohr ein das Waffenrohr im Bereich der Waffenrohrlagerung umschließendes Lagerteil mit einem Schlitz im vorderen Bereich des Lagerteils eingebunden. Durch diese Konstruktion wird eine gewisse Federung erreicht, sodass die durch die Temperaturerhöhung des Waffenrohres erfolgende Dehnung des Waffenrohres durch das Lagerteil besser erfol- gen kann. Die Rohriagerung lässt dadurch eine Längen- und Durchmesseranpassung zu. Näheres dazu wird in einer Paralleianmeldung der Anmelderin beschrieben, auf die hiermit Bezug genommen wird. The front section of the weapon barrel storage / support has a larger inside diameter than the weapon barrel (s) to be stored. In this section is per weapon barrel a gun barrel in the area of the gun barrel storage enclosing bearing part integrated with a slot in the front area of the bearing part. By this construction, a certain suspension is achieved, so that the expansion of the weapon tube resulting expansion of the weapon barrel by the bearing part better suc- can. The pipe support thereby allows a length and diameter adjustment. More details will be described in a Paralleianmeldung the Applicant, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Der vorliegende Aufbau der Halterung des Rohrbündels ermöglicht auch die Aufnahme von nur einem oder zwei Waffenrohren bei gleicher Grundgeometrie, die von der Halterung getragen und in der Lagerung gedreht werden können. Damit kann auf unterschiedliche Kundenwünsche, insbesondere bezüglich des Gesamtgewichts der Waffe, individuell eingegangen, die Waffe kundenabhängig variiert werden. The present construction of the holder of the tube bundle also allows the inclusion of only one or two weapon tubes with the same basic geometry, which can be carried by the holder and rotated in storage. This can be tailored to different customer requirements, in particular with respect to the total weight of the weapon, individually, the weapon can be varied depending on the customer.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der vorgenannten Rohrbündelwaffe ist ein sicherer Transport, da für den Transport die Waffenrohre in ihrer Gesamtheit so verstellt werden können, dass keines der Waffenrohre vor dem Verschluss liegt bzw. mit diesem fluchtet. Another advantage of the above-mentioned tube bundle weapon is a safe transport, since the weapons tubes can be adjusted in their entirety so that none of the weapons tubes is in front of the closure or aligned with this.
Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt: Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail. It shows:

Mit 1 ist ein Rohrbündel, hier mit drei Waffenrohren 2, 3, 4 einer Waffe 100 mit einem Verschluss 5 gekennzeichnet. Das Rohrbündel 1 umfasst eine vordere, mündungsseitige Rohr- halterung 5 sowie eine hintere, verschlussseitige Rohrhalterung 6. Dabei ist nur ein Waffenrohr 2 (3, 4) verschlussseitig in der Waffe 100 zu einem Verschluss 50 ausgerichtet, in der Regel das untere, d.h., das sich unterhalb der beiden nebeneinander befindlichen anderen Waffenrohre 3, 4 befindet. Dieses Waffenrohr 2 ist auf diesen einen Verschluss 50 fluchtend ausgerichtet und wirkt auch nur in dieser Stellung mit dem Verschluss 50 schusstechnisch zusammen. 1, a tube bundle, here with three weapon tubes 2, 3, 4 of a weapon 100 is marked with a closure 5. The tube bundle 1 comprises a front, mouth-side tube holder 5 and a rear, closure-side tube holder 6. In this case, only one weapon barrel 2 (3, 4) is aligned on the closure side in the weapon 100 to form a closure 50, as a rule the lower one, ie which is located below the two adjacent gun tubes 3, 4. This gun barrel 2 is aligned on this one closure 50 and also acts only in this position with the shutter 50 shot technically together.
In einem Teilbereich 7 weist das Rohrbündel 1 einen Steuerkörper 8 mit einer Steuerkurve 9 auf, die ihrerseits umfangsseitig im Steuerkörper 8 eingebunden ist. Über diese Steuerkurve 9 kann das Rohrbünde] 1 in der Gesamtheit unabhängig vom Schuss der Waffe 100 versteift und somit ein Rohrwechsel vorgenommen werden. Die umfangseitig im Steuerkörper 8 ein- gebundene Steuerkurve 10 bzw. deren Verlauf, wie Anstieg etc., ist ihrerseits auf die Anzahl der in das Rohrbündel 1 maximal einsetzbaren Waffenrohre abgestimmt, d.h., auf die maximale Anzahl von Waffenrohren, die in das Rohrbündel 1 integriert werden können. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind es drei Waffenrohre 2, 3, 4, die jeweils um einen Winkel von 120° gedreht werden müssen. In a portion 7, the tube bundle 1, a control body 8 with a control cam 9, which in turn is peripherally incorporated in the control body 8. About this cam 9, the tube collars] 1 stiffened in the entirety regardless of the shot of the weapon 100 and thus a change of tube are made. The circumferentially in the control body 8 a tied cam 10 and the course, such as increase, etc., in turn, matched to the number of maximum usable in the tube bundle 1 weapon tubes, ie, to the maximum number of weapon tubes that can be integrated into the tube bundle 1. In the present embodiment, there are three weapon tubes 2, 3, 4, which must be rotated in each case by an angle of 120 °.
Fig. 1a zeigt das Rohrbündel 1 ' mit nur einem Waffenrohr 2. Ein Rohrbündel mit zwei Waffenrohren 2, 3, (4) ist ebenfalls denkbar. Die Steuerkurve 9 kann dann auch für diese Rohrbündel einen gleichverlaufenden Verlauf wie bei drei Waffenrohren 2, 3, 4 aufzeigen, da die Verstellung bzw. Verdrehung des Rohrbündels 1 schussunabhängig ist. Fig. 1a shows the tube bundle 1 'with only one gun barrel 2. A tube bundle with two weapon tubes 2, 3, (4) is also conceivable. The control cam 9 can then show an even course for this tube bundle as in three weapon tubes 2, 3, 4, since the adjustment or rotation of the tube bundle 1 is independent of the weft.
Eine Lagerung 20 des Rohrbündels 1 (1') allgemein zeigt die Fig. 1 , die dann in der Waffe 100 Fig. 3 eingebunden ist. Beide Darstellungen zeigen die sichere Transportstellung des Rohrbündels 1. Keines ist zum Verschluss 50 ausgerichtet. A storage 20 of the tube bundle 1 (1 ') generally shows the Fig. 1, which is then involved in the weapon 100 Fig. 3. Both illustrations show the safe transport position of the tube bundle 1. Neither is aligned with the closure 50.
Die Lagerstellen werden durch zwei feststehende Lünetten 21 , 22 gebildet, die voneinander beabstandet sind. Der Abstand ergibt sich bevorzugt aus der Länge des Steuerkörpers 8. In der bevorzugten Ausführung weisen die Lünetten 21 , 22 je ein bevorzugt abnehmbares Oberteil 21.1, 22.1 in Form eines Schnellverschlusses auf. In den Lünetten 21 , 22 sind zudem bevorzugt Gleitrollen eingebunden (nicht näher dargestellt). The bearings are formed by two fixed lunettes 21, 22, which are spaced apart. The distance preferably results from the length of the control body 8. In the preferred embodiment, the steady rests 21, 22 each have a preferably removable upper part 21.1, 22.1 in the form of a quick-acting closure. In the steady rests 21, 22 also preferably rollers are involved (not shown in detail).
Der Rohrwechsel erfolgt bevorzugt elektrisch über einen Aktuator 10 (Fig. 2), beispielsweise über einen Motor. Dieser betätigt einen Bolzen 11 , der die Drehung des Rohrbündeis 1 realisiert. Mit dem Steuerkörper 8 drehen sich dann auch die Waffenrohre 2 - 4, sodass ein anderes Waffenrohr vor den Verschluss 5 gebracht werden kann. Alternativen zum Rohrwechsei sind dem Fachmann bekannt. The tube change preferably takes place electrically via an actuator 10 (FIG. 2), for example via a motor. This actuates a pin 11, which realizes the rotation of the Rohrbündeis 1. With the control body 8, then the weapons tubes 2 - 4 turn, so that another barrel can be brought before the shutter 5. Alternatives to Rohrwechsei are known in the art.
Zwischen den Waffenrohren 2 - 4 können Bleche 13 vorgesehen werden, die zur Kühlung der Waffenrohre 2 - 4 dienen (Fig. 3). Dadurch können die Waffenrohre 2 - 4 voneinander thermisch getrennt werden. Eine die Kühlung unterstützende Variante wird mit dem Einbinden eines Öffnungen aufweisenden Rohres 51 aufgezeigt, das auch zur Stabilisierung des Rohrbündels 1 , 1' beiträgt. Between the weapon tubes 2 - 4 plates 13 may be provided which serve to cool the gun tubes 2 - 4 (Fig. 3). This allows the weapon tubes 2 - 4 are thermally separated from each other. A cooling-assisting variant is shown with the incorporation of a tube 51 having openings, which also contributes to the stabilization of the tube bundle 1, 1 '.
