Definitions

  • the eyelid is known to be strongly influenced by the gas pressure of the cartridge, the cartridge bearing condition, such as friction, lubrication, contamination and corrosion, of the sleeve condition, such as the hardness of the sleeve, the coating of the sleeve or the tolerance field. Further influencing factors are the state of the ejector mechanism and the contamination by muzzle brakes.
  • the invention has the object to provide a way for a defined ejection, to prevent it comes to a sleeve jam, etc.
  • the idea of the invention is based on the idea that the enumerated influencing variables for the manufacturing and also the technical nature of the casting are more or less unchangeable, and that they are designed to design a chamber with a defined sleeve pull-out resistance. This is created by a minimum displacement, which is integrated in the chamber. During the ejection process, the relaxation energy is used and converted accordingly when releasing the sleeve in a speed. It is built a minimum voltage, which has the consequence that a bias voltage is secured, so that no speed reduction of the sleeves occur.
  • the cartridge chamber in the front region of a sleeve of a cartridge.
  • one groove is sufficient, with more than one possible.
  • the single groove can be introduced over the entire inner circumference (i.e., all around) of the housing of the cartridge chamber or only in certain sections of the inner circumference. The latter is useful, inter alia, if more than one groove is provided.
  • a cartridge chamber 6 and parts thereof is shown in a sectional view.
  • a defined groove 5 is introduced in the cartridge chamber 6.
  • the position and shape of the groove 5 in the cartridge chamber 6 is matched to the geometry and nature of a cartridge 3 not shown here or its sleeve 2 (see FIG. 2). 1, the bearing housing of the cartridge chamber 6 is marked.
  • FIG. 1 a shows an enlarged detail A of FIG. 1 for a clear illustration of the groove 5.
  • FIG. 2 the cartridge chamber 6 is shown with the here indicated cartridge 3 with sleeve 2.
  • an ejector 8 here an extractor, by means of which the sleeve 2 is transported from the cartridge chamber 6.
  • FIG. 2 a shows an enlarged detail A 'of FIG. 2, which is identical in principle to the geometric detail A of FIG. 1.
  • the gas pressure in the cartridge case 2 deforms it on the housing 4 in such a way that it engages in the groove 5 by permanent deformations 7.
  • the extractor 8 When attaching the extractor 8, ie, when pulling out the sleeve 2, the extractor 8 must apply so much force or tension that deformed in the grooves 5 housing 4 of the sleeve 2 via the deformation path X from the groove 5 and the chamber 6 is pulled out. This build-up of tension guarantees a higher, predefinable voltage level with a significantly reduced bandwidth.
  • Fig. 3 the principle of the sleeve return is shown, with only the essential parts of the invention were identified.
  • 10 with a here shown excerpt conveyor is marked, which transported in this representation pods 2 of the lost ammunition 3 (not visible here).
  • the sleeves 2 are transferred by an arms-side extractor 8 in an ejection position 23 (Fig. 4) in an ejector tube marked 12.
  • This ejection tube 12 is preferably in the housing of a Munitionszu réelles 13, which is usually part of a weapon, not shown, involved.
  • this ejector tube 12 With this ejector tube 12 in functional accordance standing, there is a designated 14 sleeve damper, which dampens the ejected at very high speed sleeves 2.
  • the sleeve damper 14 For trouble-free operation of the sleeve damper 14 is brought after each shot in its original position. If the sleeve damper 14 is a spring damping system, this can here positively controlled by its own spring force in the starting position are performed. This forced control is also possible via a cam wheel with control cam (not shown in detail), which can be integrated in the transmission 15 of the ammunition feeder 13 itself.
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of the interaction of ammunition transport and tube removal.
  • the ammunition chain 10 'conveys cartridges 3 from a non-illustrated ammunition container into the ammunition feeder 13 of the weapon.
  • the cartridges or ammunition 3 is held in the chain links 18 and guided in the region of the sprocket 19 of the conveyor 10.
  • the cartridge 3 is then transferred in the area of the sprocket 19 to a gun-side rotor 20 of the ammunition feeder 13 and in this position by the rotor 20 to a weapon-side feed star 21.
  • This feed star 21 has here due to the number of drums five notches and associated five positions for the ammunition 3. Further positions are the actual firing position 22 and the ejection position 23 of the sleeve 2.
  • this ejection position 23 in functionality is, as already described, the ejection tube 12, which guides the sleeves 2 in a sleeve-catching position 24 along a sleeve lead 25.
  • a sensor 26 is used inter alia for functional testing.
  • the sleeve damper 14 here a spring system, springs in and reduces the collection energy of the sleeve 2.
  • the stroke of the sleeve damper 14 is designed so that the sleeve 2 are caught by the sleeve catch springs 28 on the withdrawal edge 27 of the sleeve 2.
  • the sleeve 2 is thereby defined in the ammunition chain 10 '.
  • the next shot the system is rotated further and the sleeve 2 is returned via the ammunition chain 10 'in the ammunition container.
  • the reset of the sleeve damper 14 is preferably realized in this embodiment by the energy in the own springs. The same procedure also applies to a failure failure.
  • the weapon with the ammunition feeder 7 makes up to approx. 40 mm return and forward movements, the weapon is mounted in a returning system (not shown in detail) in a damped manner. Since the ammunition container is usually rigidly mounted, the transfer of the cartridge 3 via a flexible configuration of the conveyor 10 takes place.
