El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un sistema de armas por control remoto con un eje de estabilización adicional frente a los sistemas convencionales. Este da la capacidad de estabilización cuando la plataforma o vehículo se escora alrededor de su eje longitudinal.The object of the invention is to provide a remote control weapon system with an additional stabilization axis compared to conventional systems. This gives the ability to stabilize when the platform or vehicle picks around its longitudinal axis.
Para ello, se sirve del tercer eje instalado en la torre y de un sistema óptico con un espejo montado en un estabilizador o “gimbal” que simplifica el proceso de apuntamiento del objetivo. De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, las dos armas de las que dispone el sistema, son municionadas completamente desde el interior del vehículo blindado o plataforma donde se instala el sistema.To do this, it uses the third axis installed in the tower and an optical system with a mirror mounted on a stabilizer or "gimbal" that simplifies the aiming process of the objective. According to another of the characteristics of the invention, the two weapons available to the system are completely munitioned from inside the armored vehicle or platform where the system is installed.
Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention
Una Estación Remota de Armas (RWS en su terminología en inglés) es un dispositivo que contiene un conjunto de elementos preparados para soportar un arma que pueda ser operada de forma remota, normalmente desde el interior de un vehículo, al resguardo en una cubierta de un buque o aeronaves.A Remote Weapons Station (RWS in its English terminology) is a device that contains a set of elements prepared to support a weapon that can be operated remotely, usually from inside a vehicle, to the shelter on a deck of a vehicle. ship or aircraft
La Estación Remota de Armas (RWS) consta de:The Remote Weapons Station (RWS) consists of:
• Un afuste mecánico.• A mechanical afuste.
• Un sistema de observación con cámaras operadas a distancia.• An observation system with remotely operated cameras.
• Un sistema de software y control que incluye el monitor con la imagen suministrada por el sistema de observación.• A software and control system that includes the monitor with the image supplied by the observation system.
Parte de la problemática a resolver en una RWS, consiste en conseguir un sistema lo suficientemente preciso para poder hacer blanco a media-larga distancia.Part of the problem to be solved in an RWS is to get a system that is precise enough to be able to target medium-long distance.
En tal sentido, los sistemas de armas por control remoto actuales solo disponen de dos ejes de estabilización, concretamente respecto el Azimut y la elevación, no disponiendo de medios de estabilización cuando la plataforma o vehículo se escora alrededor de su eje longitudinal.In this sense, the current remote control weapons systems only have two stabilization axes, specifically with respect to Azimuth and elevation, not having stabilization means when the platform or vehicle picks around its longitudinal axis.
En tal sentido, y de acuerdo con la figura 7, en la misma puede observarse un esquema de los movimientos típicos de un buque. Los sistemas de armas actuales, contrarrestan y estabilizan los giros alrededor de los ejes “Y” y “Z” pero no en el eje “X”.In this regard, and according to Figure 7, it can be seen a scheme of the typical movements of a ship. Current weapons systems counteract and stabilize the turns around the “Y” and “Z” axes but not on the “X” axis.
Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention
El sistema de armas por control remoto de la invención viene a llenar el vacío técnico existente hasta la fecha, proporcionando un eje de estabilización adicional frente a los sistemas convencionales. Este eje da la capacidad de estabilización cuando la plataforma o vehículo se escora alrededor de su eje longitudinal. The remote control weapon system of the invention comes to fill the existing technical vacuum to date, providing an additional stabilization axis compared to conventional systems. This axis gives the stabilization capacity when the platform or vehicle picks around its longitudinal axis.
Para ello, el sistema se encuentra montado sobre una base inclinada 15° grados respecto la horizontal. Con ello se consigue un tercer eje de estabilización con el que poder regular el apuntamiento en caso de que la plataforma gire sobre su eje longitudinal (escora).For this, the system is mounted on a base inclined 15 degrees relative to the horizontal. This achieves a third stabilization axis with which to adjust the aiming in case the platform rotates on its longitudinal axis (heel).
La instalación de este tercer eje inclinado capacita a la torre para hacer frente a desequilibrios externos derivados de este tipo de giro.The installation of this third inclined axis enables the tower to cope with external imbalances derived from this type of rotation.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, se ha previsto que las dos armas de las que dispone la torre, sean municionadas completamente desde el interior del vehículo en el que van montadas. Con ello se consigue que los operadores de la torre, estén siempre protegidos ante cualquier amenaza exterior.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that the two weapons available to the tower are completely ammunitioned from inside the vehicle in which they are mounted. This ensures that the tower operators are always protected against any external threat.
Por último, se ha previsto igualmente que la torre vaya equipada con un sistema óptico cuya singularidad es que la cámara va fija en el interior del afuste, incluyendo un espejo montado en un gimbal (o plataforma estabilizadora) que hace los movimientos necesarios para el perfecto apuntamiento del objetivo.Finally, it is also planned that the tower is equipped with an optical system whose uniqueness is that the camera is fixed inside the afuste, including a mirror mounted on a gimbal (or stabilizing platform) that makes the necessary movements for the perfect aiming of the objective.
Dicho espejo es capaz de girar en los tres ejes comentados anteriormente, por lo que, sumado a la capacidad de la propia torre de girar también en dichos ejes, hace que el seguimiento de objetivos se pueda realizar con trayectorias infinitamente diferentes.Said mirror is capable of rotating in the three axes mentioned above, so, added to the tower's own ability to also rotate in said axes, it makes it possible to track targets with infinitely different paths.

Realización preferente de la invenciónPreferred Embodiment of the Invention
A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, puede observarse como en el sistema de armas por control remoto que la invención propone, parte de la estructura convencional de una estación de armas de control remota, en la que participa una base (1) y un afuste (2) que cuenta con una pareja de cunas (3) y (4) para respectivas armas (5) y (6), incorporando un eje azimutal (7) de giro para el afuste (2) a través de los correspondientes rodamientos (9), visibles en la figura 6, así como un eje de elevación (8) para las cunas (3), debidamente motorizados. In view of the figures outlined above, it can be seen as in the remote control weapon system that the invention proposes, part of the conventional structure of a remote control weapon station, in which a base (1) and a shaft are involved (2) which has a pair of cribs (3) and (4) for respective weapons (5) and (6), incorporating an azimuthal axis (7) of rotation for the shaft (2) through the corresponding bearings ( 9), visible in figure 6, as well as a lifting shaft (8) for the cradles (3), duly motorized.
Pues bien, a partir de esta estructuración convencional, el sistema de la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que entre el afuste (2) y la base (1) se establece una solera (10) articulada con respecto a ambos elementos, de forma que la base del afuste (2) y la extremidad superior de la base (1) presenten una inclinación entre los mismos de 15°, definiendo así la articulación entre solera (10) y base (1) un tercer eje de estabilización (11) con el que poder regular el apuntamiento en caso de que la plataforma gire sobre su eje longitudinal (escora). De forma más concreta, sobre la base (1) se instalará un motor de corriente continua, de tipo “direct-drive”, encargado de controlar el tercer de estabilización (11) para la torre.Well, based on this conventional structuring, the system of the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that a solera (10) articulated with respect to both elements is established between the aft (2) and the base (1). so that the base of the flute (2) and the upper extremity of the base (1) have an inclination between them of 15 °, thus defining the joint between the hearth (10) and base (1) a third axis of stabilization (11 ) with which to adjust the aiming in case the platform rotates on its longitudinal axis (heel). More specifically, on the base (1) a direct-drive motor of direct-drive type will be installed, in charge of controlling the third stabilization (11) for the tower.
Mediante imanes de gran potencia, el sistema es capaz de girar sobre sí mismo, consiguiendo así estabilizar una posible escora del vehículo.By means of magnets of great power, the system is able to turn on itself, thus stabilizing a possible heel of the vehicle.
A su vez, para conseguir soportar los esfuerzos generados, se monta un rodamiento (12) de cuatro puntos de contacto, o en su defecto una corona de rodillos cruzados. Dicho rodamiento está formado también por dos partes, una que girará solidaria al rotor del motor (fijados a la solera (6) y la otra que irá fijada completamente a la base (1).In turn, in order to withstand the stresses generated, a bearing (12) of four contact points is mounted, or alternatively a crown of crossed rollers. Said bearing is also formed by two parts, one that will turn in solidarity with the motor rotor (fixed to the hearth (6) and the other that will be completely fixed to the base (1).
De forma análoga, y como se ha dicho con anterioridad, el afuste (9) se desplazará angularmente en el eje azimut (7) con respecto a la solera (10) por medio de un segundo motor del mismo tipo que el anteriormente referido.In a similar way, and as stated previously, the spindle (9) will move angularly in the azimuth axis (7) with respect to the hearth (10) by means of a second motor of the same type as the one referred to above.
En el propio afuste (2), se montan las dos cunas (3 y 4) que se encargarán de soportar las armas (5-6) instaladas, en este caso un MK19 y M2 Browning.In the afuste itself (2), the two cradles (3 and 4) are mounted that will be in charge of supporting the installed weapons (5-6), in this case an MK19 and M2 Browning.
El sistema es accionado mediante dos equilibradores de husillo que no son objeto de la presente solicitud, por ejemplo los descritos en el modelo de utilidad U201800143, reduciendo los consumos del sistema y consiguiendo gran precisión en el apuntamiento.The system is operated by two spindle balancers that are not the subject of the present application, for example those described in the utility model U201800143, reducing system consumption and achieving great precision in the aiming.
Para conseguir hacer blanco, el equipo dispone de un sistema óptico (13), el mostrado en la figura 5, alojado en el seno del afuste (2), enfrentado a un espejo (14) dispuesto sobre una ventana de dicho afuste, espejo asistido por una plataforma estabilizadora o gimbal, capaz de girar en los tres ejes.To be able to target, the equipment has an optical system (13), the one shown in figure 5, housed in the bosom of the piping (2), facing a mirror (14) arranged on a window of said piping, assisted mirror by a stabilizing platform or gimbal, capable of rotating in all three axes.
Con esto se consigue infinidad de movimientos para seguir objetivos, ya que sumado con la capacidad de la torre de estabilizar en tres ejes, se tienen cubiertas todas las posibles direcciones de desestabilización en el equipo.With this, infinite movements are achieved to follow objectives, since together with the tower's ability to stabilize on three axes, all possible destabilization directions in the equipment are covered.
Por último, cabe destacar que el municionamiento (15) de las armas se realiza íntegramente desde el interior de la torre, incorporando el afuste (2) una cámara o apéndice superior (16) de alimentación lateral de las armas (5 y 6) de cuyos laterales emergen sendos alimentadores (17 18) para dichas armas.Finally, it should be noted that the ammunition (15) of the weapons is carried out entirely from the inside of the tower, incorporating the upper (2) a chamber or upper appendage (16) of lateral feeding of the weapons (5 and 6) of whose sides emerge two feeders (17 18) for these weapons.
Esto resuelve una de las problemáticas más importantes en el diseño y desarrollo de este tipo de equipos, ya que los operadores encargados de recargar las armas siempre se encuentran bajo la protección del vehículo blindado.This solves one of the most important problems in the design and development of this type of equipment, since the operators in charge of reloading the weapons are always under the protection of the armored vehicle.
Solo resta señalar por último que el sistema incorporará medios de seguimiento automático de blancos, tanto de día como de noche (video tracker). It only remains to note that the system will incorporate automatic target tracking means, both day and night (video tracker).
