Definitions

the present invention relates to a projectile distributor for a centrifugal launcher.
centrifugal launcher substantially constituted by a rotor including a cylindrical barrel, this rotor having an open central zone into which opens one end of the barrel provided with a picking pallet.
the purpose of the dispenser according to the invention is to bring oblong projectiles successively in the trajectory of said pallet so as to allow their handling by the latter and, therefore, their ejection through the barrel.
the dispenser according to the invention is substantially constituted by the combination of: a support carrying a corridor element intended to receive a plurality of oblong projectiles arranged side by side, this corridor leading to a transfer zone arranged in said support; a slide arranged in said transfer zone; a support piece, carried by said support and located opposite said slide in the open central part of the rotor; means for periodically driving back the slide in synchronism with the rotation of the rotor, towards an advanced position where it closes said passage; means for returning the slide to a retracted position where it releases said passage; locking means for temporarily holding the slide in the advanced position against said return means; and one means for discharging the projectiles in said corridor towards said transfer zone.
FIG. 1 A type of centrifugal launcher to which the invention can be applied is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1. It consists of a rotor 1 containing a cylindrical barrel 2, the whole being able to be driven in rotation for example by a turbine not shown.
the rotor 1 has an open central zone in which extends a picking pallet 3 extending the barrel 2.
the axis of the latter and the axis of rotation of the rotor 1 are two left-hand rights. More details of this construction can be found in Belgian Patent No. 886,482.
a protective fairing 4 surrounds the rotor 1 and is mounted angularly adjustable on the support 5.
the fairing 4 carries a rectifier device 6 intended to ensure a correct attitude of the projectiles after they have left the barrel 2.
the distributor 7 has the function of bringing projectiles 8 one by one in the trajectory of the pallet of picking 3 which supports them thus allowing their penetration into the barrel 2 under the effect of centrifugal force and therefore their ejection.
the distributor 7 is constituted by a corridor element 9 fixed to a support 10 and leading to a transfer zone 11 provided in the latter.
the corridor 9 is intended to receive a plurality of oblong shells 8 arranged side by side.
a slide 12 capable of being displaced in one direction by the boss 13 of a cam 14 and, in the other direction, by return springs 15.
This cam is driven by the drive shaft 16 of the rotor 1, via a pinion pin 17 driving a toothed ring 18 secured to the cam 14.
a spring 22 urges the rocker towards a position in which the knife-stop opposes the return of the slide 12.
the action of the spring 22 can be counteracted by an electromagnet 23 fixed to the support 10.
the latter still carries a support element or anvil 24 situated opposite the slide 12 and at a distance from the entrance to the transfer zone 11 substantially equal to the caliber of the projectiles 8.
the zone indicated at 25 in FIG. 3 is periodically crossed by the vane 3 of the barrel 2, during the rotation of the rotor 1.
a jack 26 constantly pushes the projectiles 8 located in the corridor 9 towards the transfer zone 11.
the operation of the distributor 7 is as follows.
the "rest" position of the slide 12 is that closest to the anvil 24, position in which it is maintained by the knife-stop 19 as long as the electromagnet 23 is not energized.
the slide 12 then opposes the exit of a projectile from the corridor 9 under the effect of the jack 26.
the electromagnet 23 is briefly excited which causes the lifting of the knife-stop 19, the return of the slide 12 by the springs 15 and the entry of a projectile in the transfer zone 11.
the boss 13 of the cam 14 immediately repels the slide 12 which itself repels the projectile which has reached the transfer zone 11 against the anvil 24 position in which it can be supported by said pallet 3 when the latter crosses zone 25.
the frequency of the excitation of the electromagnet 23 determines the rate of fire.
the maximum value of the latter is a function of the speed of rotation of the axis 16, the reduction ratio between the pinion 17 and the crown 18 and the number of bosses 13 provided on the cam 14.
the supply of the electromagnet can be controlled by an AND gate circuit, the latter becoming conductive upon arrival of two signals: a firing order and a detection of the angular position of the barrel 2 relative to that of the fairing assembly 4 - rectifier 6 - distributor 7, the latter determining the increase in firing.
