Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Reinigungsvorrichtung für Rohrwaffen gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cleaning device for barrel weapons according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist aus dem im Jahre 1983 veröffentlichten schwedischen Anweisungsbuch "Eldrörsrengörare, Instruktionsbok" bekannt, in dem eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen von Rohrwaffen beschrieben ist, mit einem Bürstenträger, an dem eine oder mehrere Reinigungsbürsten und Betätigungswerkzeuge zur Hin- und Herbewegung der Reinigungsbürste mittels einer am Bürstenträger befestigbaren Stange angeordnet sind, wobei die Betätigungswerkzeuge aus einer außerhalb des Waffenrohres der Rohrwaffe angeordneten pneumatischen Verstellvorrichtung bestehen. Bei dieser Vorrichtung kann jedoch die Stange bzw. die Reinigungsbürste nur in bestimmten, dem Hub der pneumatischen Kolben entsprechenden Längsabschnitten des Waffenrohres hin- und herbewegt werden.A device of this type is known from the Swedish instruction book "Eldrörsrengörare, Instruktionsbok" published in 1983, in which a device for cleaning tube weapons is described, with a brush holder, on which one or more cleaning brushes and actuating tools for moving the cleaning brush back and forth are arranged by means of a rod which can be fastened to the brush holder, the actuating tools consisting of a pneumatic adjusting device arranged outside the barrel of the barrel weapon. In this device, however, the rod or the cleaning brush can only be moved back and forth in certain longitudinal sections of the weapon barrel corresponding to the stroke of the pneumatic pistons.

Es sind aus der DE-A-2 839 153 auch motorbetriebene Rohrreinigungsvorrichtungen bekannt, die als Reinigungseinheit in das Waffenrohr einführbar sind und sich im wesentlichen selbständig im Waffenrohr vor- und zurückbewegen, wobei der translatorische Antrieb über gegen die Innenwandung des Waffenrohres gedrückte Antriebsräder erfolgt. Eine derartige Rohrreinigungsvorrichtung erfordert jedoch einen hohen Herstellungs- und Wartungsaufwand. Ferner können sich bei dem im Rohrinneren arbeitenden Elektromotor infolge unzureichender Kühlungsmöglichkeiten thermische Probleme ergeben.DE-A-2 839 153 also discloses motor-operated tube cleaning devices which can be inserted as a cleaning unit into the weapon barrel and move back and forth essentially independently in the weapon barrel, the translational drive being effected via drive wheels pressed against the inner wall of the gun barrel. However, such a pipe cleaning device requires high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, thermal problems can arise in the electric motor working inside the tube due to insufficient cooling possibilities.

Dem Patentgegenstand liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Vorrichtung der genannten Art eine Antriebseinheit zu schaffen, mit der die Stange und die Reinigungsbürste über die ganze Länge des Rohres verschoben werden kann.The object of the patent is therefore based on the task of creating a drive unit in a device of the type mentioned, with which the rod and the cleaning brush can be moved over the entire length of the tube.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Damit ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß die in der Truppe eingeführten Standard-Reinigungsgeräte verwendet werden können. Die bisher bis zu sieben Mann und bis zu 21 Mannstunden erfordernde Reinigungsarbeit einer 120 mm - Kanone wird von einer, beispielsweise einen oder mehrere Elektromotoren enthaltenden Arbeitseinheit übernommen, wobei der Elektromotor an das Bordnetz eines Truppenfahrzeugs anschließbar ist.This has the advantage that the standard cleaning devices introduced in the group can be used. The cleaning work of a 120 mm cannon, which previously required up to seven men and up to 21 man hours, is carried out by a work unit containing, for example, one or more electric motors, the electric motor being connectable to the on-board electrical system of a troop vehicle.

Vorzugsweise ist die Antriebseinheit am Mündungsende des Waffenrohres lösbar befestigt, sie kann jedoch auch an der die Rohrwaffe tragenden Lafette oder an einem gesonderten Fahrzeug angeordnet sein.The drive unit is preferably detachably attached to the muzzle end of the weapon barrel, but it can also be arranged on the carriage carrying the barrel weapon or on a separate vehicle.

Bei einem Kampfpanzer ist jedoch die bevorzugte Ausführungsform die Anordnung der Antriebseinheit am Mündungsende des Waffenrohres und die Versorgung des Antriebsmotors über das Bordnetz des Kampfpanzers.In the case of a main battle tank, however, the preferred embodiment is the arrangement of the drive unit at the muzzle end of the weapon barrel and the supply of the drive motor via the on-board network of the main battle tank.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Antriebseinheit mit einem Reibradantrieb versehen, der mittels auf einer Klemmeinrichtung angeordneter Räder ein seitliches Einführen der Stange ertaubt. Die Klemmeinrichtung bietet den weiteren Vorteil, daß die Anpreßkraft der Reibräder beliebig eingestellt werden kann.The drive unit is expediently provided with a friction wheel drive, which deaerates lateral insertion of the rod by means of wheels arranged on a clamping device. The clamping device has the further advantage that the contact pressure of the friction wheels can be set as desired.

Für den Fall, daß besonders große Kräfte zu übertragen sind, kann ein formschlüssiger Antrieb vorteilhaft sein, wofür die Stange zusätzlich mit einem Zahnstangenelement auszurüsten ist, das mit einem Antriebsritzel der Antriebseinheit in Eingriff steht. Zweckmäßigerweise ist auch bei dieser Ausfuhrungsform eine Klemmvorrichtung vorgesehen, die in ihrer Öffnungsstellung ein seitliches Einführen der Stange und in ihrer Schließstellung mittels einer den Antriebsritzel gegenüberliegenden Gegenrolle einen einwandfreien Zahneingriff gewährleistet.In the event that particularly large forces are to be transmitted, a positive drive can be advantageous, for which purpose the rod is additionally to be equipped with a rack element which is in engagement with a drive pinion of the drive unit. Appropriately, a clamping device is also provided in this embodiment, which ensures a lateral insertion of the rod in its open position and a perfect tooth engagement in its closed position by means of a counter roller opposite the drive pinion.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Antriebseinheit auf einem am Mündungsende des Waffenrohres befestigten Tragarm angeordnet, wodurch zur Mündung ein Abstand geschaffen werden kann, der es erlaubt, daß die Stange mitsamt der Bürste aus dem Waffenrohr ausgefahren werden kann. Hierfür ist es zweckmäßig, am Tragarm einen Einführtrichter zu befestigen, der ein problemloses Einführen der Reinigungsbürste in das Waffenrohr sicherstellt.In a preferred embodiment, the drive unit is arranged on a support arm fastened to the muzzle end of the weapon barrel, as a result of which a distance can be created from the muzzle which allows the rod and the brush to be extended out of the weapon barrel. For this purpose, it is expedient to attach an insertion funnel to the support arm, which ensures that the cleaning brush can be inserted into the weapon barrel without problems.

Zur Abstützung des über die Antriebseinheit hinausragenden Stangenendes ist der Tragarm vorteilhafterweise über die Antriebseinheit hinaus verlängert und trägt an seinem Ende eine Abstützeinrichtung, durch welche auch in der ausgefahrenen Position der Reinigungsbürsten ein zu starkes Durchhängen der Stange vermieden werden kann und außerdem sichergestellt wird, daß die Antriebselemente der Antriebseinheit mit der Stange weitgehend biegemomentfrei in Eingriff bleiben.To support the rod end protruding beyond the drive unit, the support arm is advantageously extended beyond the drive unit and carries at its end a support device by which excessive sagging of the rod can also be avoided in the extended position of the cleaning brushes and also ensures that the Drive elements of the drive unit remain in engagement with the rod largely without bending moment.

Zur Aufbringung der beträchtlichen Schub- und Zugkräfte auf die Stange sind die Antriebsräder der Antriebseinheit vorteilhafterweise über ein Getriebe mit dem Motor gekoppelt, wobei der Motor zweckmäßigerweise von der Energiequelle des Rohrwaffenträgersystems speisbar ist.To apply the considerable thrust and tensile forces to the rod, the drive wheels of the drive unit are advantageously coupled to the motor via a gear, the motor expediently being able to be fed by the energy source of the tubular weapon carrier system.

Als Energiequellen kommen hierfür Fahrzeugbatterien oder hydraulische Druckmtttelquellen in Frage.Vehicle batteries or hydraulic pressure medium sources can be considered as energy sources for this.

Vorzugsweise besteht bei einem Kampfpanzer der Motor der Antriebseinheit aus einem Elektromotor, der an das von der Fahrzeugbatterie gespeiste Bordnetz anschließbar ist.In the case of a main battle tank, the motor of the drive unit preferably consists of an electric motor which can be connected to the vehicle electrical system which is powered by the vehicle battery.

Bei anderen Rohrwaffensystemen, beispielsweise bei einer nur mit einem hydraulischen Hilfsantrieb ausgestatteten Haubitze besteht der Motor der Antriebseinheit zweckmäßigerweise aus einem Hydromotor, der an die Druckmittelquelle des hydraulischen HHfsantriebs anschließbar istIn other barrel weapon systems, for example in a howitzer equipped only with a hydraulic auxiliary drive, the motor of the drive unit expediently consists of a hydraulic motor which can be connected to the pressure medium source of the hydraulic auxiliary drive

Um bei Ausfall des Antriebsmotors oder der Energiequelle einen Notbetrieb sicherstellen zu können, empfiehlt es sich, das Getriebe mit einer Ankoppelungseinrichtung für eine oder mehrere Handkurbeln auszustatten.In order to be able to ensure emergency operation if the drive motor or the energy source fails, it is advisable to equip the gearbox with a coupling device for one or more hand cranks.

Die Stange kann aus einzelnen Teilelementen zusammensetzbar sein oder aus einem teleskopisch vedängerbarem Rohr bestehen, das in der ausgefahrenen Stellung arretierbar ist. Die bei einer derartigen Stange gegebene stufenweise veränderte Dicke der Stange wird durch federnd zur Auflage an die Stange gedrückte Antriebsräder der Antriebseinheit ausgeglichen.The rod can be assembled from individual sub-elements or consist of a telescopically extendable tube that can be locked in the extended position. The gradually changing thickness of the rod in such a rod is compensated for by drive wheels of the drive unit which are pressed resiliently against the rod.

Um mit der Antriebseinheit neben der längsaxialen Hin- und Herbewegung gleichzeitig eine Rotation der Reinigungsbürste zu bewirken, können die Achsen der Antriebsräder der Antriebseinheit schräg zur Achse der Stange angestellt sein.In order to simultaneously rotate the cleaning brush with the drive unit in addition to the longitudinal axial back and forth movement, the axes of the drive wheels of the drive unit can be set at an angle to the axis of the rod.

Die Reinigungsbürsten sind auch dadurch in Rotation zu versetzen, daß die mit der Stange in Eingriff stehenden Antriebsräder gemeinsam mit der Stange um die Stangenachse drehbar angeordnet sind. Zu den mitdrehenden Teilen kann ggf. das Getriebe und der elektrische Antriebsmotor gehören, der über Schleifkontakte mit Strom versorgbar und steuerbar ist.The cleaning brushes are also set in rotation by the fact that the drive wheels engaged with the rod are arranged together with the rod so as to be rotatable about the rod axis. The rotating parts may include the gearbox and the electric drive motor, which can be supplied with current and controlled via sliding contacts.

Zur Steuerung der Hin- und Herbewegung der Reinigungsbürste können an der Stange Anschlagelemente angeordnet sein, durch welche an der Antriebseinheit vorgesehene Endschalter angesteuert werden können.To control the back and forth movement of the cleaning brush, stop elements can be arranged on the rod, by means of which limit switches provided on the drive unit can be controlled.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Steuerungseinrichtungen im Getriebe oder im Motor der Antriebseinheit integriert, so daß die längsaxialen Bewegungen der Reinigungsbürsten durch einstellbare Umdrehungszahlen von Motor- oder Getriebewellen bestimmbar sind.In an advantageous embodiment, the control devices are integrated in the gear unit or in the motor of the drive unit, so that the longitudinal axial movements of the cleaning brushes can be determined by adjustable rotational speeds of motor or gear shafts.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing.

The rod 3 is clamped between two drive wheels 4 and 5 designed as friction wheels. The drive wheels are mounted in a drive unit 6, which contains a gear (not shown) and to which a drive motor 7 is attached. Of the two drive wheels 4 and 5, the lower drive wheel 5 has a pivot bearing (not shown), through which the latter can be deflected to its axis and the axis of the rod 3.

Die Antriebseinheit 6 ist mit einem Tragarm 8 verschraubt, der am Mündungsende 9 einer Rohrwaffe 10 mittels einer Klemmvorrichtung 11 befestigt ist. Der Tragarm 8 weist ferner einen vor der Mündung der Rohrwaffe 10 positionierbaren Einführtrichter 12 und einen Verlängerungsarm 13 auf, an dessen Ende eine Abstützeinrichtung in Form einer trichterartig erweiterten Führungshülse 14 zur Stützung der Stange 3 befestigt ist. Der Verlängerungsarm 13 ist am Tragarm 8 mittels eines Scharniergelenks 15 zurückklappbar.The drive unit 6 is screwed to a support arm 8, which is attached to the muzzle end 9 of a barrel weapon 10 by means of a clamping device 11. The support arm 8 also has an insertion funnel 12 that can be positioned in front of the muzzle of the barrel weapon 10 and an extension arm 13, at the end of which a support device in the form of a funnel-like extended guide sleeve 14 is fastened to support the rod 3. The extension arm 13 can be folded back on the support arm 8 by means of a hinge joint 15.

Zur Inbetriebnahme der Reinigungsvorrichtung wird zunächst der Tragarm 8 an der Mündung der Rohrwaffe 10 mit der Klemmvorrichtung 11 befestigt und der Venängerungsarm 13 mit der Führungshülse 14 wird nach vom geklappt.To start up the cleaning device, the support arm 8 is first fastened to the mouth of the barrel weapon 10 with the clamping device 11 and the extension arm 13 with the guide sleeve 14 is folded away from.

Anschließend wird die Stange 3 mit ihrem hinteren Ende in die Führungshülse 14 eingeführt und mit ihrem vorderen, die Reinigungsbürste tragenden Ende seitlich zwischen die auseinandergeschwenkten Antriebsräder 4 und 5 eingelegt Nach dem Hochschwenken des unteren Antriebsrades 5 wird die Stange 3 fest zwischen den Antriebsrädern 4 und 5 eingeklemmt, womit ein sicherer Reibschluß zur Obertragung hoher, längsaxial wirkender Kräfte erzielt wird.Subsequently, the rod 3 is inserted with its rear end into the guide sleeve 14 and with its front end, which carries the cleaning brush, is inserted laterally between the swiveled-out drive wheels 4 and 5 clamped, with which a secure frictional connection for the transmission of high, axially acting forces is achieved.
