Description

Ammunition repair system and method thereof

The present invention relates to an ammunition reconditioning system, and more particularly to an ammunition reconditioning system and method thereof for combining ammunition refurbishment with a plurality of sets of automated equipment.

The traditional ammunition refurbishment method uses a special fixture to be set on the ammunition fuze, and the ammunition fuze dismantling operation is carried out manually. The disassembly of the ammunition at the bottom of the ammunition is also carried out through the jig and manpower. However, the ammunition has not been fired for a long time. In the case of fuzes and bottom fires, oxidation will occur, causing difficulties in the ammunition fuze and the disassembly of the bottom fire. Therefore, operators often strike with objects to achieve smooth disassembly.

However, the way in which the fuze or the bottom fire is disassembled by tapping is often caused by the high temperature generated during the tapping process, which in turn detonates the unorganized ammunition, causing personal and financial losses. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of the ammunition demolition work and personnel The safety of disassembly work is an important technical issue that needs to be solved urgently in the current ammunition renovation work.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ammunition refurbishing system which uses an automated device for ammunition fuze and bottom fire disassembly to improve the efficiency of ammunition refining operations.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an ammunition refurbishing method, which is a combination of a plurality of automated devices for performing ammunition fuze and bottom fire disassembly to increase the safety of workers.

Therefore, the ammunition refurbishing system of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of sets of automation equipment are combined, the ammunition is refurbished by the automatic equipment, and the ammunition is transported to the automation equipment through the transport unit, and the system includes: a fuse disassembly device and a bottom fire disassembly The device, the fuze dismounting device has an ammunition clamping unit, and a fuze dismounting unit, the bottom fire disassembling device having a protective plate and a rotating unit, wherein the ammunition clamping unit places the ammunition on the fuze disassembling unit, The fuse disassembling unit removes the fuse of the ammunition, and then places the disassembled ammunition in the transport unit through the ammunition holding unit, and transmits the disassembled ammunition to the bottom fire disassembling device through the transport unit, and inserts the ammunition into the bottom fire After the device is disassembled, the protective plate completely wraps the ammunition, and the bottom unit fire of the ammunition is rotated by the rotating unit, thereby improving the safety of the ammunition refining operation, and improving the efficiency of the disassembly work through the automatic equipment.

The ammunition is placed on the fuse removal unit 112, and the fuse removal order is transmitted through the fuse The fuse 112 removes the fuse of the ammunition, and then uses the ammunition clamping unit 111 to place the disassembled ammunition in the transport unit. The bottom fire disassembling device 12 has a protective plate 121 and a rotating unit 122, see FIG. The present invention is a schematic diagram of the ammunition clamping unit of the present invention, wherein the ammunition clamping unit 2 is a robot arm 21 having a first rotating portion 211 and a second rotating portion 212, wherein The first rotating portion 211 is moved in a whirling manner, and the second rotating portion 212 is vertically swingable, and the first rotating portion 211 and the second rotating portion 212 are passed through the first rotating portion 211 and the second rotating portion 212 to cause the robot arm 21 to correctly hold the ammunition. After clamping the ammunition, the ammunition is placed on the fuse disassembly unit 112 for the fuse removal of the ammunition. Referring to FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram of the fuse removal unit of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the fuse is disassembled. The unit 3 has a disassembling head 31, a rotating mechanism 32 and a fixing member 33. After the ammunition is placed, the fixing member fixes the ammunition, the disassembling head 31 holds the ammunition fuze portion, and the ammunition is transmitted through the rotating mechanism 32. Lead Dismounted.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic view of the bottom fire disassembling device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, after the ammunition fuse is disassembled, the disassembled ammunition is placed on the conveying unit through the ammunition clamping unit. The transport unit transports the detached ammunition to the bottom fire removing device 4, wherein the bottom fire removing device has a protective plate 41 and a rotating unit 42. After the ammunition is placed in the bottom fire removing device 4, the protective plate 41 That is, the ammunition is completely covered, fixed by the rotating unit 42, and the bottom fire of the ammunition is rotated and removed, thereby improving the safety of the ammunition renovation work, and improving the efficiency of the disassembly work through the automatic equipment.

Please refer to Figure 5 for the steps of the ammunition renovation method of the present invention. It is intended that the ammunition refurbishing method is characterized by combining a plurality of sets of automation equipment, using the automated equipment for ammunition refurbishing, and transporting the ammunition to each of the automated equipment through the transport unit, the steps comprising: step S1: providing a fuze disassembling device, the fuze The dismounting device has an ammunition holding unit and a fuze dismounting unit; step S2: using the ammunition holding unit to place the unrepaired ammunition on the fuze dismounting device; step S3: using the fuze disassembling unit The fuse of the ammunition is removed; step S4: providing a bottom fire removing device having a protective plate and a rotating unit; and step S5: placing the ammunition after the fuse is disassembled on the bottom fire removing device, the protection The slab is completely covered with the ammunition, and the bottom fire of the ammunition is removed by the rotation unit, thereby improving the safety of the ammunition refurbishing operation, and improving the efficiency of the disassembly work through the automatic equipment.

The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the features and functions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical scope of the present invention. Modifications and variations of the above-described embodiments can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
