Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Werfer gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches. Ein derartiger Werfer ist aus der FR 2 832 792 A bekannt.The invention relates to a projector according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a launcher is from the FR 2 832 792 A known.

Ein ähnlicher Werfer mit einem austauschbar munitionierten Container mit Abschussrohren zum Abfeuern von Splittergranaten gegen Flugkörper bzw. von Blastgranaten gegen KE-Stäbe in der jeweiligren Restphase ihrer Annäherung an das angegriffene und zu verteidigende Objekt ist aus der DE 199 51 915 A1 bekannt. Bei dem Objekt kann es sich um ein Fahrzeug (insbesondere um ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug) oder um eine Immobilie (insbesondere um ein militärisches Lager) handeln. Die vorzügliche Eignung des dort beschriebenen, schnellen und präzisen Richtantriebs mit im Werfer-Sockel stationär angeordneten Azimut- und Elevationsantrieben für den Container konnte unterdessen überzeugend nachgewiesen werden. Dessen große Agilität beruht wesentlich darauf, dass im Interesse einer Verringerung der beim Richtvorgang zu bewegenden Massen die Motoren für Azimut- und Elevationsbewegungen stationär, und mechanisch geschützt, in den objektfesten Werfersockel eingebaut sind. Als nachteilig an jener Konstruktion erweist sich lediglich die Beschränkung auf kleine Elevationswinkel um einen konstruktiv vorgegebenen Mittelwert herum, bei dem eine höheneinstellbare Schubstange für das Elevationsrichten gerade in der Azimutachse verläuft. Die Anlenkung des als einarmiger Hebel auf die Schubstange abgestützten Containers bedingt nämlich mit dem Elevationsrichten ein Verschwenken der Schubstange aus dieser Achse heraus mit der Folge, dass die Hebelverhältnisse der Anlenkung zunehmend ungünstiger werden und die Schubstange auf Biegung beansprucht werden kann. Andererseits erfordert eine wirksame Abwehr aller zu erwartenden Angriffsszenarien eine Beherrschung der vollständigen Hemisphäre; und möglichst darüber hinaus auch, etwa von einem erhöhten Standort auf einem Fahrzeug aus, Abschussrichtungen unter die Montageebene des Containers. Und schließlich wäre es wünschenswert, dem Objekt zusätzlich zum durch die Abwehrgranaten gegebenen Hardkill-Aktivschutz einen flexibel einsetzbaren Softkill-Passivschutz zur Verfügung stellen zu können.A similar launcher with a replaceable ammunitioned container with launching tubes for firing fragmentation grenades against missiles or from blast grenades against KE rods in the respective remaining phase of their approach to the attacked and defended object is from the DE 199 51 915 A1 known. The object may be a vehicle (in particular an armored vehicle) or a property (in particular a military camp). The excellent suitability of the described there, fast and accurate directional drive with stationary in the launcher pedestal azimuth and elevation drives for the container was meanwhile convincingly demonstrated. Its great agility is essentially based on the fact that in the interest of reducing the masses to be moved during the straightening process, the motors for azimuth and elevation movements are stationary, and mechanically protected, built into the object-fixed gun socket. A disadvantage of that construction proves only the restriction to small elevation angles around a structurally predetermined average, in which a height-adjustable push rod for elevation straight in the azimuth axis. The articulation of the supported as a one-armed lever on the push rod container namely namely with the elevation a pivoting of the push rod from this axis out with the result that the leverage of the linkage are increasingly unfavorable and the push rod can be subjected to bending. On the other hand, an effective defense against all expected attack scenarios requires a mastery of the complete hemisphere; and if possible also, for example, from an elevated location on a vehicle, launch directions below the mounting level of the container. And finally, it would be desirable to the object In addition to the hard-core active protection provided by the defense grenades, it is also possible to provide flexible soft-kill passive protection.

In Erkenntnis dieser Gegebenheiten liegt vorliegender Erfindung die technische Problemstellung zugrunde, einen Werfer gattungsgemäßer Art für solche zusätzlichen Abwehrmöglichkeiten auszustatten.In recognition of these circumstances, the present invention is based on the technical problem of providing a launcher of the generic type for such additional defense options.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die im Hauptanspruch angegebenen wesentlichen Merkmale gelöst. Danach ist die Elevation nicht mehr auf eine relativ kleine Elevation um einen vorgegebenen Winkel herum beschränkt, sondern der Container kann praktisch um seine Elevationsachse rotieren und insoweit in jede Raumrichtung ausgerichtet werden.This object is achieved by the essential features specified in the main claim. Thereafter, the elevation is no longer limited to a relatively small elevation around a predetermined angle, but the container can rotate virtually around its elevation axis and so far aligned in each spatial direction.

Diese Lösung ist von besonderem Vorteil bei Ausstattung des Werfers auch mit Abschussrohren für Nebeltöpfe zum vorübergehenden Tarnen des mit dem Werfer ausgestatteten Objektes. Um dafür denselben Richtantrieb wie für den Abschuss von Abwehrgranaten nutzen zu können, sind parallel zu den Granat-Rohren zusätzliche Nebelwerfer-Rohre vorgesehen. Weil die aber nicht so lang sein müssen, wie die Abschussrohre für die Granaten, ist immer ein Paar von Nebelwerfer-Rohren koaxial gegensinnig eingebaut. Zwei Nebeltöpfe können daraus dennoch - nacheinander - in derselben Richtung abgeschossen werden, indem die Nebelwerfer-Rohre nach dem ersten Abschuss um 180° verschwenkt und ihre Elevation angepasst werden.This solution is of particular advantage in equipping the thrower also with launch tubes for fog pots for temporary camouflage of the object equipped with the launcher. In order to be able to use the same directional drive as for the launch of defense grenades, additional Nebelwerfer tubes are provided parallel to the garnet tubes. But because they do not have to be as long as the launching tubes for the grenades, there is always a pair of mist thrower tubes installed coaxially in opposite directions. Nevertheless, two mist pots can be fired in succession in the same direction by turning the Nebelwerfer pipes 180 ° after the first firing and adjusting their elevation.

Die Nebelwerfer-Rohrpaare können zweckmäßigerweise in den Container mit den Granaten-Rohren integriert oder als austauschbare Einzelrohre an den Werfer appliziert werden. Für einen kleinbauenden Antrieb der Aufhängung ist der Elevationsantrieb nicht im Sockel sondern darüber, in der Aufhängung des Werfers neben der Welle für das Verschwenken des Containers und dabei derart seitlich versetzt angeordnet, dass der resultierende Masseschwerpunkt der, mit einem mit Abwehrgranaten geladenen Container samt Nebeltöpfen bestückten, Aufhängung im Interesse geringen Masseträgheitsmomentes für Einsatz eines kleinbauenden Azimut-Antriebes möglichst gerade in der Azimutachse liegt.The Nebelwerfer tube pairs can be conveniently integrated into the container with the grenade tubes or applied as interchangeable tubes to the launcher. For a small-sized drive the suspension of the elevation drive is not in the pedestal but above, in the suspension of the launcher next to the shaft for pivoting the container and arranged laterally offset so that the resulting center of mass of loaded with a loaded with defensive grenade container, including mists , Suspension in the interest of low mass moment of inertia for use of a small-scale azimuth drive as straight as possible in the azimuth axis.

Andererseits können für das Elevationsrichten zwei separate, - auch insgesamt - masseärmere Motore zum Einsatz gelangen und die Richtkinematiken dadurch separat wirkoptimiert werden, wenn für die Abwehrgranaten und für die Nebeltöpfe zwei unabhängig von einander anzusteuernde Elevations-Antriebe eingesetzt werden, die ebenfalls den Azimut-Richtvorgang mitdrehen.On the other hand, for the elevation two separate, - also total - lower-mass motors can be used and the directional kinematics are thus optimized separately, if for the defensive grenades and for the mist pots two be used independently of each other to be controlled elevation drives, which also rotate the azimuth straightening process.

Geringste zu beherrschende Trägheitsmomente treten auf, wenn das Elevations- und das Azimut-Richten wieder durch gehäusefest in den Werfer-Sockel eingebaute Antriebe entkoppelt werden. Statt der Schubstange für die Container-Elevation ist dann wenigstens eine Spindel mit Kegelradgetriebe zweckmäßig, die von einem zugeordneten Getriebemotor zur Voruntersetzung verdreht wird, um den Container praktisch rundum zu schwenken. Stattdessen kann aber auch wenigstens ein Linerantrieb zum Längsverschieben einer Zahnstange vorgesehen sein, die mit einem Ritzel auf einer Elevationswelle kämmt.The lowest moments of inertia to be controlled occur when the elevation and the azimuth straightening are decoupled again by drives built into the launcher base fixed to the housing. Instead of the push rod for the container elevation then at least one spindle with bevel gear is appropriate, which is rotated by an associated gear motor for Voruntersetzung to pivot the container virtually all around. Instead, however, at least one liner drive for longitudinal displacement of a rack may be provided, which meshes with a pinion on an elevation shaft.

Jedenfalls kann die Funktionalität des Werfers für Hardkill-Verteidigung eines mobilen oder stationären Objektes wesentlich erweitert werden, wenn er erfindungsgemäß zusätzlich zu den Abschussrohren für Abwehrgranaten auch mit Nebelwerfer-Rohren ausgestattet und für Elevationswinkel von wenigstens annähernd 360° ausgelegt wird. Dadurch können zwei in einem Paar von gegensinnig orientierten Nebelwerfer-Rohren munitionierte Nebeltöpfe nacheinander in dieselbe Richtung abgefeuert werden, wenn zwischendurch ein Nachrichten um 180° in der Azimutachse unter Korrektur der Elevation erfolgt.In any case, the functionality of the thrower for hard-core defense of a mobile or stationary object can be significantly extended if, in addition to the launching tubes for defensive grenades, it is also equipped with Nebelwerfer tubes and designed for elevation angles of at least approximately 360 °. As a result, two nebulized pots ammunition mounted in a pair of oppositely-oriented mist thrower tubes can be sequentially fired in the same direction, if in between there is a 180 ° message in the azimuth axis correcting the elevation.

Zusätzliche Abwandlungen und Weiterbildungen zur erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Ansprüchen und, auch hinsichtlich deren Vorteilen, aus nachstehender Beschreibung von in der Zeichnung nicht ganz maßstabsgerecht auf das Funktionswesentliche abstrahiert skizzierten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispielen zur Erfindung.

Der in Fig.1 skizzierte Werfer 11 weist einen objektfest anzuordnenden Sockel 12 und eine auf ihm verdrehbar gelagerte, unsymmetrisch gabelförmige Aufhängung 13 auf. Durch diese erstreckt sich orthogonal zur vertikalen Azimutachse 14 die horizontale Elevationsachse 15 für das räumliche Ausrichten eines austauschbar in der Aufhängung 13 gehalterten Containers 16 mit Granat- und Nebetwerfer-Rohren. Dessen in dieser Auslegung drei Granat-Rohre 17 sind mit je einer Abwehrgranate geladen. Im Interesse dichter Packung auf Lücke dagegen versetzt und parallel dazu ist der Container 16 hier zusätzlich mit zwei Nebelwerfer-Rohren 18 ausgebildet. Diese sind mit Nebeltöpfen bestückt. Da die kürzer als die Abwehrgranaten sind, ist jedes der Nebelwerfer-Rohre 18 funktional paarweise dahingehend geteilt, dass es je einen Nebeltopf in zueinander entgegengesetzten Richtungen abfeuern kann. So besteht die Munitionierung im Beispielsfalle der Fig.1 aus drei Abwehrgranaten und vier Nebeltöpfen.The in Fig.1 sketched launcher 11 has a base 12 to be arranged fixed to the object and a rotatably mounted on it, asymmetrically fork-shaped suspension 13. Through this extends orthogonal to the vertical axis of azimuth 14, the horizontal elevation axis 15 for the spatial alignment of a replaceable in the suspension 13 salaried container 16 with garnet and Nebetwerfer tubes. Its three garnet tubes 17 are loaded with one defense grenade each. In the interest of dense packing to gap, however, offset and parallel to the container 16 is additionally formed here with two Nebelwerfer tubes 18. These are equipped with mist pots. Since they are shorter than the defensive grenades, each of the Nebelwerfer tubes 18 is functionally pairwise divided so that it can ever fire a fog pot in opposite directions. Thus, the ammunition in the example of the case Fig.1 from three defensive grenades and four mists.

Die Elevationsausrichtung des Containers 16 und damit seiner Abschuss-Rohre 17, 18 erfolgt mittels eines Elevationsmotors 19. Der ist wie skizziert im axial breiteren der beiden Schenkel der Aufhängung 13 angeordnet und kann gemäß Fig.1 als Getriebemotor direkt an eine mit der Elevationsachse 15 koaxiale Welle angeflanscht sein; oder die Motorwelle ist gemäß Fig.2 quer zur Container- also Elevationswelle orientiert und über ein Umlenkgetriebe an die Elevationswelle angeschlossen. Jedenfalls steht der Elevationsmotor 19 über die Elevationswelle mit dem Container 16 in Drehverbindung.The elevation orientation of the container 16 and thus its launch tubes 17, 18 by means of an elevation motor 19. The is as outlined in the axially wider of the two legs of the suspension 13 and arranged according to Fig.1 be flanged as a geared motor directly to a coaxial with the elevation axis 15 shaft; or the motor shaft is according to Fig.2 oriented transversely to the container, ie elevation shaft and connected via a deflection gear to the elevation shaft. In any case, the elevation motor 19 is rotatably connected to the container 16 via the elevation shaft.

Diese Containerwelle liegt so hoch über dem Gabelschenkelwinkel (also über dem Boden) der Aufhängung 13, dass der Container 16 im Prinzip eine volle Umdrehung über 360° ausführen kann. Dadurch wird nicht nur die volle Hemisphäre sowie der darunter gelegene Raum in der Elevation überstrichen, sondern es ist auch sichergestellt, dass zwei Nebeltöpfe aus dem Paar einer koaxialen Rohranordnung nacheinander (nach Verschwenken des Containers 16 um 180° Azimut unter Anpassung der Elevation) in die selbe Raumrichtung abgeschossen werden können.This container shaft is so high above the fork leg angle (ie above the ground) of the suspension 13, that the container 16 in principle can perform a full revolution over 360 °. This not only sweeps over the full hemisphere and the underlying space in the elevation, but it also ensures that two mist pots from the pair of coaxial pipe assembly sequentially (after pivoting the container 16 by 180 ° azimuth with adjustment of the elevation) in the same spatial direction can be shot down.

Der Masseschwerpunkt der so bestückten Aufhängung 13 liegt zu dem Elevationsmotor 19 hin versetzt in dem Container 16, zum Minimieren der beim Azimutrichten wirksamen Masseträgheitsmomente möglichst genau auf der Azimutachse 14. Für den Azimut-Richtvorgang wird die Aufhängung 13 mit dem Container 16 samt dem Elevationsmotor 19 von einem mehrmotorigen Antriebssystem 20 aus dem Innern des objektfesten Sockels 12 heraus um die Azimutachse 14 verdreht; wie es detailliert in der DE 1 99 51 915 A1 beschrieben ist, worauf hier zur vorliegenden Erfindungsbeschreibung vollinhaltlich Bezug genommen wird.The center of gravity of the assembled suspension 13 is located to the elevation motor 19 offset in the container 16, to minimize the azimuth effective mass moments of inertia as accurately as possible on the azimuth axis 14. For the azimuth straightening the suspension 13 with the container 16, including the elevation motor 19th from a multi-motor drive system 20 from the interior of the object-fixed base 12 out about the azimuth axis 14th twisted; as detailed in the DE 1 99 51 915 A1 is described, which is incorporated herein by reference in full to the present invention description.

Im Beispielsfalle der Fig.2 sind die Paare der Nebelwerfer-Rohre 18 nicht in den mit mehreren Abwehrgranaten 21 munitionierten Container 16 des Werfers 11 einbezogen, sondern separat austauschbar an eine gesonderte Halterung 22 an der Aufhängung 13 appliziert. Diese Halterung 22 ist - vorzugsweise um eine mit den Granat-Rohren 17 gemeinsame Elevationsachse 15 - mittels eines eigenen Elevationsmotors 23 höhenrichtbar, der im axial schmaleren Schenkel der Aufhängung 13 quer zur Elevationswelle 24 orientiert und an diese über ein Umlenkgetriebe 25 angeschlossen ist. Der Masseschwerpunkt der so bestückten Aufhängung 13 liegt wieder möglichst genau auf der Azimutachse 14.In the case of the example Fig.2 the pairs of the Nebelwerfer tubes 18 are not included in the ammunition with multiple anti-garnets 21 container 16 of the launcher 11, but applied separately replaceable to a separate bracket 22 on the suspension 13. This holder 22 is - preferably about a common to the garnet tubes 17 elevation axis 15 - höhenrichtbar by means of its own elevation motor 23, which is oriented transversely to the elevation shaft 24 in the axially narrower leg of the suspension 13 and connected thereto via a deflection gear 25. The center of gravity of the assembled suspension 13 is again as accurate as possible on the azimuth axis 14.

Die Aufhängung 13 wird wieder mitsamt ihren Elevationsmotoren 19, 23 vom Azimut-Antriebssystem 20 um die Azimutachse 14 gedreht. Dafür arbeiten wieder zwei Azimutmotore 26 über ihre Abtriebsritzel 27 gemeinsam auf eine Verzahnung 28 an einem Lagerring 29, der die Aufhängung 13 drehfest trägt. Bei Gleichlauf der Azimutmotore 26-26 wird der Lagerring 29 um die Azimutachse 14 verdreht, bei gegensinniger Ansteuerung in der dann gerade erreichten Winkelstellung mechanisch spielfrei arretiert.The suspension 13 is again rotated together with its elevation motors 19, 23 by the azimuth drive system 20 about the azimuth axis 14. To work again two azimuth motors 26 via their output pinion 27 together on a toothing 28 on a bearing ring 29 which carries the suspension 13 rotatably. When synchronizing the azimuth motors 26-26 of the bearing ring 29 is rotated about the azimuth axis 14, mechanically locked in opposite directions in the then just reached angular position.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig.3 ist der Container 16 wieder sowohl mit Granat-Rohren wie auch mit Nebelwerfer-Rohren ausgelegt. Der Elevationsmotor 19 ist, parallel zur Azimutachse 14 und damit quer zur Elevationswelle 24 orientiert, zu den Azimutmotoren in das Antriebssystem 20 im Sockel 12 hinein verlegt. Ein Antriebsritzel 30 auf der Elevationswelle 24 kämmt mit dem Ausgang des Elevationsmotors in Form einer Zahnstange oder einer Schnecke, so dass nun nur noch die Masse des Containers 16 samt seiner gabelförmigen Aufhängung 13 aber kein Elevationsmotor mehr an der Azimutdrehung teilnimmt.According to the embodiment Figure 3 the container 16 is again designed both with garnet tubes as well as with Nebelwerfer tubes. The elevation motor 19 is oriented parallel to the azimuth axis 14 and thus oriented transversely to the elevation shaft 24 to the azimuth motors in the drive system 20 in the base 12 inside. A drive pinion 30 on the elevation shaft 24 meshes with the output of the elevation motor in the form of a rack or a worm, so that now only the mass of the container 16 together with its fork-shaped suspension 13 but no more elevation engine participates in the azimuth rotation.

Andererseits ist auch eine Kegelrad-Übertragung denkbar, deren Horizontal-Achse sich mit der Vertikal-Achse schneidet. Verringert werden dadurch die Trägheitsmomente.On the other hand, a bevel gear transmission is conceivable whose horizontal axis intersects with the vertical axis. This reduces the moments of inertia.
