Description

The invention is intended to reduce the loading time of a tank gun when firing a target.

Known systems for automatic loading of a tank’s gun (for example, the T-72 tank) of FIG. 1, where: 1 - control panel, 2 - control equipment, 3 - a mechanized warhead with a mechanism for bringing a shot into the loading plane, 4 - a mechanism for bringing a shot to the sending line, 5 - a mechanism for sending a shot to the gun’s barrel.

When firing a target, the tank gunner selects the type of shot necessary to hit the target and from the control panel (1) gives a command to load the guns with the selected type of shot. The control equipment (2) sends a signal to the mechanism for bringing the shot into the loading plane (3). When a shot hits the loading plane, the mechanism for removing the shot to the sending line is triggered (4). When the shot reaches the line of sending, the mechanism for sending the shot (5) to the gun’s barrel begins to act. After retooling, the gun shutter wedge closes. The gun is ready to fire. The gunner fires a shot. If the target is not hit, the gunner again sends a signal from the control panel to load the previously selected type of projectile. The process is repeated.

A drawback of existing loading systems is that the duration of the loading process of the tank guns increases as the shots are consumed in battle. When fully loaded, mechanized warheads are shots, the removal of a shot of the type chosen by the gunner on the loading line occurs in a minimum time. As the ammunition consumption is increased, the rotation angles of the mechanized warhead to the location of the selected type of shot increase, the duration of its deployment to the loading line increases and with a high consumption of shots it can reach 8-10 s.

The objective of the present invention is to minimize the loading time of the tank guns while spending its ammunition during the battle.

To this end, in the proposed automatic loading system (Fig. 2), a unit was introduced to ensure the minimization of the time that the shots were sent to the loading line when the tank’s ammunition was consumed during the battle (6), one input of which receives signals from a mechanized warhead to change the placement of shots of various types (1), the second input receives a signal about the firing of the gun, and the output is connected to the mechanism for bringing the shot into the loading plane (3).

The work of the proposed charging system is as follows. The gunner selects the type of shot necessary to hit the target. The signal of the type of shot enters the control equipment (2) The signals of the control equipment are loading the gun in the usual sequence. At the same time, a signal from the mechanized installation (3) about the locations of the spent type shots is sent to the unit to ensure minimizing the time of withdrawal of shots to the loading line during the expenditure of the tank’s ammunition during the battle (6). After loading is completed, the gunner fires a shot at the target. The signal about the fired shot is sent to the unit for minimizing the time of firing shots to the loading line when the ammunition of the tank is consumed during the battle (6), which generates and sends a command to turn the mechanized combat station (3) to a position that minimizes the time to bring any type of shot to the line loading.

The technical solution of the proposed invention is the introduction of a unit to minimize the time of the removal of shots to the loading line while spending the ammunition of the tank during the battle.

The technical result of the proposed invention is to minimize the loading time of the tank guns while spending its ammunition during the battle.
