Definitions

  • the invention concerns a cartridge chamber with cooling channels.
  • a drum-type barrel weapon is known, for example, from DE 195 01 003 C2, and a drum revolver is known from DE 196 24 400 A1.
  • EP 0 731 330 B1 discloses a revolver drum of a revolver cannon and a cooling device. Proceeding from U.S. Pat. No. 2,801,575, it is proposed that connecting tubes be integrated between individual cooling channels.
  • a disadvantage is that these channels and connecting lines are produced by expensive deep-hole drilling, which also includes unnecessary access drill holes.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide a different means of creating the cooling channels.
  • one aspect of the present invention resides in a cartridge chamber for a weapon or a revolver cannon, wherein at least one cooling channel is milled on a peripheral surface of the cartridge chamber. In one embodiment of the invention at least two cooling channels are milled on the surface. In another embodiment, the cooling channel is helically milled in the surface.
  • the length and the width of the cooling channels can be individually selected.
  • Milled channels are present in one section of the cartridge chamber.
  • the cooling channels can be closed on themselves or can be helically milled as a single channel.
  • the invention is based on the idea of adapting the drum cooling to the geometry of the drum and of milling the cooling channels on the surface of the individual cartridge chamber(s). In this way, the cooling channels can be milled on the freely accessible surface, and the disadvantages enumerated above are eliminated.
  • the solution is suitable for all weapons and cannons whose cartridge chambers can be manufactured from a separate part and which are installed in a cannon tube or modular revolver cannon in a subsequent production process.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cartridge chamber.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the cartridge chamber of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a graph of the milled recess.
  • FIG. 1 as well as FIG. 2 shows a stylized view of a cartridge chamber 1 with cooling channels 3 milled on the periphery or on the peripheral surface 2 .
  • the cooling channels 3 are preferably located in only one section of the cartridge chamber 1 . These cooling channels 3 can be closed upon themselves or can also be helically milled as a single channel.
  • the cartridge chamber 1 can be part of a drum (not shown) with several cartridge chambers.
  • FIG. 3 shows a possible course of the milled recesses on the periphery 2 of the cartridge chamber 1 from FIGS. 1 and 2 .
