Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of portable machines or tools, automatic or not, allowing ammunition to be easily and quickly attached to one another using links to produce a flexible band or chain of ammunition connected to one another, in order to to allow the automatic firing of a weapon such as a cannon.
  • the invention can be applied to all types of chained ammunition, preferably but not exclusively medium caliber ammunition, that is to say typically between 15 and 50mm.
  • dummy ammunition for example in the case of testing automatic firing devices such as gun loading robots of armored vehicles, it is required to quickly and manually assemble a certain number of ammunition in the form of bands.
  • the ammunition bands considered in the context of the present invention typically consist of cartridges inserted or clipped into a flexible band or chain using metal links or links.
  • the figures 1 and 2 show detailed views of typical links, respectively alone and in combination with a cartridge.
  • the actual link 10 consists of a first part 11 and a second part 12, generally articulated to one another.
  • the second part 12 comprises a loop or handle 13 central relative to the height of the link 10, defining an approximately semi-cylindrical opening, dimensioned to be fitted on the socket 21 of a cartridge 20 of a given caliber.
  • the first part 11 comprises two loops 14, 15 of this type but located, in height, respectively on either side of the central loop 13. Each of these loops 13, 14, 15 generally comprises at its free ends a small loop.
  • the upper loop 14 of the first part 11 can be extended by a substantially flat and rectangular part 17 extending upwards and the lower loop 15 of the first part 11 can also be extended downwards by a substantially flat part 18, terminated by a finger 19 which is advantageously inserted into the extraction groove 22 of the cartridge 20 in order to guarantee the correct alignment of the cartridge in the chain.
  • the ammunition is inserted in an individual link, either by threading or by clipping, in the loops 14, 15 of the first part 11 ( figure 3 ) and then, the link-cartridge assembly created 10, 20 is hooked to the chain 23 already produced by attaching the central loop 13 free at the end of the chain 23 to the new cartridge 20 between the loops 14, 15 of its link ( figure 4 ).
  • the document US 2,460,096 discloses a motorized machine for making 20mm ammunition chains, having a cartridge loading wheel, a cartridge supply means for directing the cartridges into the loading wheel, a link assembly wheel formed with pockets for maintaining links around its periphery and having a step-by-step rotational movement, a means for feeding links to direct these towards the assembly wheel, a reciprocating piston carriage having a fixed stroke, a pair of pistons mounted on said carriage in circumferential positions spaced from the axis of the link assembly wheel, one of the pistons being longer than the other and the two pistons having their reciprocating paths respectively in alignment successive pockets on the periphery of the link assembly wheel.
  • the pistons of the piston carriage push the cartridges through the links in the assembly wheel to create an ammunition chain, in two successive stages during the stepwise rotation of the assembly wheel.
  • the document US 2,344,443 discloses a machine comprising a continuous conveyor belt of flexible sheet metal having a plurality of open recesses into which are inserted a plurality of cartridges, means for bringing links for retaining these cartridges in the hollows, a rotating drum having a plurality of grooves and alternating protrusions in its periphery, following the contour of the conveyor belt to engage and drive the latter and means cam type to push the cartridges into a predetermined position in the links when the cartridges are driven by the conveyor belt.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution for the easy, safe and reproducible production of ammunition strips attached to each other, such as for example medium caliber ammunition.
  • the invention aims to reproduce in an automated manner the manual technique of meshing a band of ammunition, in order to save time for gun operators.
  • the invention aims to provide a compact and efficient device designed to easily integrate into a confined environment such as the interior of an armored vehicle turret.
  • Another object of the invention is to quickly produce bands of ammunition, typically a band of 15 cartridges in less than 5 minutes, without mechanical crank force greater than 130N, by manual operation of the machine.
  • the mesh machine 30 comprises a first slide 31, intended for the introduction in a row of links 10 detached from each other and a second slide 32, intended for the introduction in a row of ammunition or cartridges 20 which are for example medium caliber cartridges (30 and 40mm in the example considered).
  • the number of links 10 and the number of ammunition 20 introduced into the machine is preferably identical.
  • the machine 30 can either be operated manually, thanks to a crank 33, or electrically, thanks to an electric motor replacing the crank 33 (not shown).
  • a mobile mechanism 34 comprises a set of wheels 35 located on a shaft 36, said wheels 35 being intended to grip a cartridge 20.
  • the cartridge 20 is inserted into a link 10, which is presented in a synchronized manner by a link shaft 37 when the main shaft 38 is operated by the motor or the crank 33.
  • the machine 30 comprises an outlet orifice 39, for example provided with a ramp ending in a collection box (not shown), through which the meshed ammunition strip 22 is expelled by gravity.
  • the mobile mechanism 34 therefore comprises a first shaft 36 provided with a plurality of wheels 35 which are used to grip the cartridges 20.
  • a second shaft 37 allows the advancement of the links 10.
  • the first shaft 36 rotates in the counterclockwise direction.
  • the second shaft 37 rotates in the clockwise direction.
  • the two shafts 36, 37 are set in motion via a third shaft 38 integral with a crank 33 which can be actuated manually or with an electric motor.
  • the three shafts 36, 37, 38 are mutually parallel and connected by gears 40.
  • the first shaft 36 comprises at least two wheels 35 having regularly spaced grooves 41 of circular shape making it possible to grip the bushes 21 of the cartridges 20.
  • the second shaft 37 also comprises at least two wheels 42 having grooves 43 making it possible to grasp the base of the links 10. During the rotation of the mobile mechanism 34, the cartridge 20 is clipped longitudinally into the link 10.
  • the slides 31, 32 and the gripping wheels 35, 42 are adapted to the size of the ammunition and of the links. They are removable and interchangeable, the whole being easily adaptable to other sizes or calibers.
  • the grooves of the wheels of cartridges 41 can be adapted to the ammunition of caliber 30 and 40mm (the links are identical for these two calibers).
  • the passage from 40mm to 30mm at the level of the grooves can be carried out advantageously by means of a jack using a ball pin 44 acting by securing two twin wheels 41.
  • the mesh machine according to the invention 30 comprises a mechanism having a finger 45 which serves as a stop blocking the first link 10 and therefore the entire column of links located in the bottom of the first slide 31.
  • the finger 45 is then unlocked sequentially during the rotation of the mobile mechanism 34.
  • the machine will be provided with carrying handles and will preferably have a weight not exceeding 40 kg.
