Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of explosive charges, and in particular relates to a balanced gun launching system and method. Background Art

[0002] The balanced gun is a conventional test loading device used to simulate the terminal trajectory and damage effect of penetrating projectiles. The balanced gun uses the balance body to move in the opposite direction in the barrel to offset the recoil generated during firing. The existing balanced gun structure is that after loading the projectile and propellant in the barrel, the balance body is also loaded. During firing, the gas generated by the combustion of the propellant pushes the projectile and the balance body to move in opposite directions, and the anti-recoil device on the traditional artillery is replaced by the backward ejection of the balance body. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention provides a balanced gun launching system and method, so as to solve the problem that a balanced body in a balanced gun wastes kinetic energy, resulting in low launching efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a balanced cannon launching system, comprising: a first launching unit, a second launching unit, and a supporting portion;

[0006] The barrel of the first launching unit is connected to the barrel of the second launching unit; the barrel axis of the first launching unit coincides with the barrel axis of the second launching unit;

[0007] The barrel connecting end of the first launching unit and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit are used to sequentially accommodate projectiles and propellant, so that the projectiles in the first launching unit and the projectiles in the second launching unit are respectively ejected in opposite directions during firing;

[0008] The supporting portion is used to support the first transmitting unit and the second transmitting unit.

[0009] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a balanced gun firing method, comprising:

[0010] Loading projectiles and propellant from the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit respectively;

[0011] Connecting the barrel connection end of the first launching unit and the barrel connection end of the second launching unit to connect the barrel of the first launching unit and the barrel of the second launching unit;

[0012] The propellant is ignited to eject the two projectiles toward a first side of the first launching unit and a first side of the second launching unit respectively; the first side is a side opposite to the barrel connection end.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the barrels of two launching units are connected, and projectiles and propellants are sequentially loaded at the connecting ends of the barrels of the two launching units. After loading, the two projectiles are respectively located on both sides of the propellants of the two launching units as a whole, so that when launching, the projectiles in the first launching unit and the projectiles in the second launching unit are respectively fired in opposite directions. The barrels of the two launching units of the present invention are connected, and the energy generated by the combustion of the propellants is more fully utilized by simultaneously firing projectiles in two different directions. Therefore, a balancing body is not required to realize the recoil device of the artillery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 , the balanced cannon launching system provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0026] In the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application specifically disclose a balanced cannon launching system, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes: a first launching unit 1, a second launching unit 2, and a support portion 3; the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 is connected to the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2; the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 coincides with the barrel axis of the second launching unit 1; the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit 2 are used to sequentially accommodate projectiles 4 and propellant 5, so that the projectiles 4 in the first launching unit 1 and the projectiles 4 in the second launching unit 2 are respectively ejected in opposite directions during firing; the support portion 3 is used to support the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 coincides with the barrel axis of the second launching unit 1, and the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 is connected to the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2, and the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit 2 are loaded with projectiles 4 and propellant 5. When loading projectiles 4 and propellant 5 into the barrel connecting end, the projectiles 4 are loaded first and then the propellant 5 is loaded. Then, there is a projectile 4 on each side of the whole composed of the propellant 5 in the first launching unit 1 and the propellant 5 in the second launching unit 2. When the propellant 5 is ignited by the ignition device, the projectile 4 in the first launching unit 1 will move along the barrel 6 of the first launching unit in a direction away from the propellant 5, and the projectile 4 in the second launching unit 1 will move along the barrel 6 of the second launching unit in a direction away from the propellant 5, that is, the two projectiles 4 are fired in opposite directions respectively. The embodiment of the present application, based on the principle of conservation of momentum, can simultaneously launch two projectiles in different directions in one launch, making full use of the energy released by the combustion of the propellant during launch, thereby eliminating the need for a balance body, saving energy, and improving launch efficiency.

[0028] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first transmitting unit 1 further includes: a first flange 11; the second transmitting unit 2 further includes: a second flange 21;

[0029] The first end of the barrel of the first launching unit 1 is connected to the first flange 11, the first end of the barrel of the second launching unit 2 is connected to the second flange 21, and the first flange 11 is connected to the second flange 21; the first end is the end close to the barrel connection end.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the barrel 6 is a tube of equal inner diameter, connected to the first end of the barrel of the first launching unit 1 through the first flange 11, and connected to the first end of the barrel of the second launching unit 2 through the second flange 21. The first flange 11 is connected to the second flange 21, so that the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2 are connected, and the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 coincides with the barrel axis of the second launching unit 2, so that after the propellant 5 is burned, the two projectiles 4 can be respectively fired in opposite directions. Among them, the first flange 11 is connected to the first end of the barrel of the first launching unit 1 by welding, and the second flange 21 is connected to the first end of the barrel of the second launching unit 2 by welding.

[0031] The coincidence of the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel axis of the second launching unit 2 means that the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel axis of the second launching unit 2 are collinear within an allowable error.

[0032] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first flange 11 and the second flange 21 are detachably connected by bolts.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the sequential accommodation of the projectile 4 and the propellant 5 from the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit 2, the first flange 11 and the second flange 21 are detachably connected by bolts, so that when the projectile 4 and the propellant 5 are loaded into the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2, the bolts on the first flange 11 and the second flange 21 can be removed first to separate the first launching unit 1 from the second launching unit 2, so that the projectile 4 and the propellant 5 can be loaded in sequence from the barrel connecting end, and then the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 is connected to the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2 by connecting the first flange 11 and the second flange 21.

[0034] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the support portion 3 includes: a gun mount 31 , support legs 32 , and a wheel set 33 .

[0035] The gun carriage 31 is connected to the barrel 6, and the gun carriage 31 is used to support the barrel 6;

[0036] The support legs 32 are connected to the barrel 6 and the gun mount 31 respectively, and the support legs 32 are configured to calibrate the barrel 6 by telescoping;

[0037] The wheel set 33 is connected to the gun carriage 31 and is used to transport the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the first transmitting unit 1 and the second transmitting unit 2 correspond to a group of supporting parts 3 respectively.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the barrel 6 is supported by the gun mount 31 and the support legs 32 , thereby supporting the barrel 6 so as to transport and calibrate the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 .

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the support portion 3 includes a plurality of support legs 32 , and the support legs 32 are distributed on both sides of the gun mount 31 . For example, there are at least two support legs 32 on each side of the gun mount 31 .

[0041] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the support leg 32 has a telescopic function. When the support leg 32 is extended, the support leg 32 contacts the foundation, and the wheel group 33 is separated from the foundation, so that the support leg 32 supports the gun carriage 31, the first launching unit 1, and the second launching unit 2. When the support leg 32 is retracted, the support leg is separated from the foundation, and the wheel group 33 contacts the foundation, and the gun carriage 31, the first launching unit 1, and the second launching unit 2 are supported by the wheel group 33, so that the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 are transported based on the wheel group 33. Since the support leg 32 can be extended and retracted, the barrel 6 can be corrected by extending and retracting the support leg 32 to center the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2, and to center the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit on the target, so as to ensure that the projectile 4 hits the target point marked on the target.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the wheel set 33 is fixed on the gun carriage 31 to meet the needs of short-distance transportation and gun position movement within the test field.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, it also includes: a traction mechanism 7. The traction mechanism 7 is connected to the gun carriage 31, for example, the traction mechanism 7 is fixedly connected or detachably connected to the gun carriage 31. The traction mechanism 7 is used to transport the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2. For example, the first flange is separated from the second flange, thereby separating the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2. In this way, the traction mechanism 7 can be respectively connected to the support part 3 corresponding to the first launching unit 1 and the support part 3 corresponding to the second launching unit 2 to pull the support part 3, thereby transporting the first launching unit and the second launching unit respectively. For example, when the first flange is connected to the second flange, the support part 3 corresponding to the first launching unit 1 or the support part 3 corresponding to the second launching unit 2 is pulled by the traction mechanism 7, thereby transporting the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the traction mechanism 7 includes: a hooking mechanism and a universal wheel set. The universal wheel set can meet the requirements of gun position adjustment and docking installation.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, a power unit is also included, which is connected to the hanging mechanism, and the hanging mechanism is connected to the support part 3. The power of the power unit is transmitted through the hanging mechanism to transport the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2.

[0046] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, it also includes: a bracket, which is arranged on the traction mechanism 7, and the bracket is used to support the installation of the barrel 6 and some parts.

[0047] Optionally, the hanging mechanism is connected to the supporting part 3 through a bracket.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, it also includes: a mounting mechanism 8;

[0049] Since the first launch unit 1 and the second launch unit 2 are heavy, in order to facilitate docking and separation of the first launch unit 1 and the second launch unit 2, an installation mechanism 8 is further provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the installation mechanism 8 facilitates docking and separation of the first launch unit 1 and the second launch unit 2. The installation mechanism 8 is, for example, a crane.

[0050] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, it also includes: an ignition device, which is used to ignite the propellant 5.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, since the gun carriage 31 is connected to the barrel 6, and the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 correspond to a group of supporting parts 3 respectively, when the gun carriage 31 is moved based on the traction mechanism 7, the first launching unit and the second launching unit will also move, and when the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 are docked or separated based on the mounting mechanism 8, the supporting parts corresponding to each launching unit will also be driven to move.

[0052] In the example of this application, the two projectiles can be selected according to the test requirements, that is, the two projectiles can have the same mass and structure, or have the same mass and different structures, or have different masses and different structures. The balanced gun launch system can ensure the consistency of various launch conditions, enhance the persuasiveness of the test data, and significantly reduce the launch cost.

[0053] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a balanced cannon firing method, which is applied to the above-mentioned balanced cannon firing system, such as Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a balanced cannon firing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to the above-mentioned balanced cannon firing system. The method includes:

[0054] Step 101, loading projectiles and propellants from the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit respectively.

[0055] Optionally, before loading the projectiles and propellants, the foundation of the launching point is hardened and leveled, for example, the local ground of the shooting range is hardened and leveled with reinforced concrete, and then the first launching unit 1, the second launching unit 2, and the support part 3 are transported to the launching point, for example, the support part 3 is connected by a traction mechanism 7 to move the support part 3, and the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 are transported based on the wheel group 33 of the support part 3.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, when loading the projectile 4 and the propellant 5, the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 are in a separated state, so that the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit 2 can be loaded with the projectile 4 and the propellant 5 respectively.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the barrel connecting end is an end close to the barrel 11 of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel 21 of the second launching unit 2 connected.

[0058] Step 102: docking the barrel connection end of the first launching unit and the barrel connection end of the second launching unit to connect the barrel of the first launching unit and the barrel of the second launching unit.

[0059] Optionally, when docking the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit 2, the first launching unit 1, the second launching unit 2, and the support part 3 can be lifted by the installation mechanism 8, and the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 can be docked in the air, and the first flange 11 of the first launching unit 1 and the first flange 21 of the second launching unit 2 can be connected by bolts to connect the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2.

[0060] After being connected, the barrel composed of the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2 contains projectiles 4, propellant 5, propellant 5, and projectiles 4 in sequence, that is, the two projectiles 4 are located on both sides of the whole formed by the two propellants 5.

[0061] Step 103, igniting the propellant to fire the two projectiles toward a first side of the first firing unit and a first side of the second firing unit respectively; the first side is a side opposite to the barrel connection end.

[0062] Optionally, the propellant 5 is ignited by an ignition device to burn the propellant 5, and the two projectiles 4 are located on both sides of the whole formed by the two propellants 5. Therefore, after the propellant 5 burns and expands, the projectile 4 in the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 will be ejected along the barrel 6 of the first launching unit 1 in a direction away from the connecting end, and the projectile 4 in the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2 will be ejected along the barrel 6 of the second launching unit 2 in a direction away from the connecting end, so that the two projectiles 4 are ejected in opposite directions.

[0063] The speeds at which the two projectiles 4 are shot out may be the same or different.

[0064] Wherein, the ignition device is a multi-point ignition device or a central ignition tube ignition device.

[0065] Optionally, before step 103, the method further includes:

[0066] The first transmitting unit 1 and the second transmitting unit 2 are aligned by the support 3 .

[0067] Specifically, the support part 3 is extended and retracted so that the barrel axis of the first launching unit 1 and the barrel axis of the second launching unit 2 are collinear, so as to center the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2, and to center the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit on the target, so as to ensure that the projectile 4 hits the target point marked on the target.

[0068] Optionally, after step 103, the method further includes:

[0069] The first launching unit and the second launching unit are separated, and the steps of loading projectiles and propellants from the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit are performed respectively.

[0070] In order to achieve multiple launches, the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2 can be separated after one launch. Specifically, the bolts used to connect the first flange 11 and the second flange 21 are removed, and the first launching unit 1 and the support part 3 corresponding to the first launching unit 1 or the second launching unit 2 and the support part 3 corresponding to the second launching unit 2 are lifted off by the mounting mechanism 8, thereby separating the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2. After separating the first launching unit 1 and the second launching unit 2, the steps of loading projectiles and propellants from the barrel connecting end of the first launching unit and the barrel connecting end of the second launching unit are respectively performed, thereby performing multiple launches.

[0071] Optionally, before the propellant is ignited, the method further includes: a mobile installation mechanism 8.

[0072] In order to avoid potential safety hazards during firing, after loading the projectile and propellant into the barrel and docking the first firing unit and the second firing unit, the mounting mechanism 8 can also be moved to a safe position.

[0073] In the example of the present application, a balanced gun firing method is disclosed, which fires two projectiles in opposite directions based on two propellants ignited simultaneously, thereby increasing the energy released by the combustion of the propellants.
