    摘要: An ammunition transfer system and method of loading a weapon wherein the rate of ammunition transfer and the consequent rate of fire of the weapon is independent of the azimuth angle of the weapon. In a preferred embodiment, the invention includes a multiple cell ammunition cradle system for a weapon having a carriage and a barrel. The system includes at least one ammunition hoist and a cradle operably coupled to the carriage. The cradle is selectively positionable in a charging position and a loading position. The cradle has a carrier, which may be a rotor with a plurality of cells, each cell adapted to receive an ammunition round. The rotor is rotatable about a rotor axis, and is controllably positionable so that each cell is selectively alignable with the ammunition hoist when the cradle is positioned in the charging position and so that each cell is selectively alignable with the barrel when the cradle is positioned in the loading position. The ammunition transfer system of the present invention is suitable for handling any type of ammunition including separate, semi-fixed, or fixed ammunition, and may also be used to handle rocket propelled or precision guided munitions. It is anticipated that the ammunition handling system, when used with a major caliber gun, may allow firing rates of ten rounds per minute and more.

    摘要: A redundant ammunition flow device for supplying divided, large caliber ammunition to a loading tray of a gun mounted on a turret of a vehicle for adjustment in elevation about a trunnion includes at least two magazines disposed in the vehicle chassis. Each magazine is a closed loop and includes a plurality of first holders that accommodate in an upright position either a projectile or a propelling charge column which make of the ammunition. A guide formed of a ring segment is fixed to the chassis concentric with the turret rotation axis. Two ammunition transporters are mounted for displacement on the guide to receive at a respective transfer position either a projectile or a propelling charge column from the first holders. Each transporter includes a rotary arm carrying a feed arm supporting second holders for holding a projectile or a propelling charge column. Two ammunition transfer arms are arranged, one on each side of the gun, for receiving either a projectile or a propelling charge column from one of the ammunition transporters. Each ammunition transfer arm is pivotal about the trunnion and includes a lifting arm having third holders for picking up and lifting a projectile or propelling charge column. Two readiness trays are arranged, one on each side of the loading tray, for receiving either a projectile or propelling charge column from one of the ammunition transfer arms.

    摘要: To serve a turret-mounted tank cannon, automated loading apparatus includes a pair of arcuate guide tracks vertically mounted to the turret. The guide tracks, lying on radii centered with the cannon elevating axis, guide a trolley for movement between magazine and cannon loading postions. A rammer, carried by the trolley, is activated to retrieve an ammunition round from magazine storage and to ram the round into the cannon breech regardless of cannon position in elevation and azimuth. The trolley is propelled by a ballscrew, while the rammer is activated by a ballscrew and stiff-backed chain arrangement to achieve an extra long rammer stroke. The rammer is pivotally mounted to the trolley for movement between essentially opposite end-for-end orientations to permit round retrieval from ammunition magazines located in the turret bustle and tank hull, as well as in the turret basket.

    摘要: An autoloading method and apparatus is disclosed for a turret mounted gun that is pivoted horizontally relative to the turret and must be lowered to a substantially horizontal 0.degree. position for loading selected cartridges from a magazine conveyor, ejecting empty cartridge cases and misfired cartridges from the gun and turret, assisting in replenishing cartridges from outside the turret into the magazine, and off-loading cartridges from the magazine. A partition divides the turret into two compartments with a gunner and a commander located in one compartment and the mechanical components of the autoloader and breech of the gun located in the other compartment. When the gun is returned to the 0.degree. position for ejecting an empty case, the site of the director system remains on target. The turret is preferably mounted on a military land vehicle.

    摘要: An automatic ammunition transfer device is disclosed. A reciprocating char block includes a stripper tab for moving ammunition rounds from the magazine into a round carrier mechanism. The round carrier mechanism includes spring load fingers for holding the round. The mechanism, with round therein, is moved from a stagging position to a chambering position for insertion of the round into the firing chamber by a four bar linkage arrangement. The four bar linkage is pivoted between the stagging and chambering positions in timed relation with the chamber block movement, as determined by a cam path located on the chamber block.

    摘要: A round is rapidly transferred from a magazine, located at a fixed position on the chassis of a tank, to a ramming position adjacent a traversable firearm mounted in a turret on the tank, by use of a loading trough which is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder to transport a round from the magazine to a round cradle. The round cradle is rotatable about an axis extending at right angles to the traversing plane of the firearm, is located in a predetermined feeding position relative to the magazine for receiving the round delivered by the loading trough, is thereafter rotated through an angle to orient the cradle and round thereon to a position coinciding with the prevailing traverse position of the firearm, whereafter gripping members are activated to move the round from the cradle to the ramming position adjacent the firearm.
