[0021] The left and right ends of the barrel assembly 5 are connected with the upper cover 4.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 8-13 A buffer assembly is in sliding connection with the inside of the buffer groove 25, the buffer assembly comprises a buffer box 8, a second loading slot 24 is formed in the bottom end of the buffer box 8, the outer dimensions of the second loading slot 24 are the same as those of the semicircular tube 702, when the buffer assembly is connected with the barrel assembly 5 (as shown in the figure), the semicircular tube 702 is in sliding connection with the second loading slot 24, and the buffer box 8 is in sliding connection with the buffer groove 25.Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the first loading groove 26 and the second loading groove 24 form a coaxial channel, and the barrel 7 is located inside the channel. After the ammunition and the powder bag are sequentially loaded into the channel, the arc of the semicircular tube 702 can be fitted with the pushing track in the process of being pushed to the barrel 7, so as to effectively reduce the pushing resistance and provide guidance for the ammunition and the powder bag to smoothly enter the barrel 7, thereby further optimizing the filling operation efficiency.
[0023] The inside of the buffer box 8 is symmetrically provided with two groups of second chambers 12, and the second chambers 12 are slidably connected with second isolation plugs 14. The upper and lower ends of the second chambers 12 are symmetrically provided with first chambers 10 and third chambers 11, and are respectively slidably connected with first isolation plugs 13 and third isolation plugs 15. The shafts of each group of isolation plugs are provided with sealing rings (not shown in the figure), and each group of isolation plugs divides the corresponding chamber into two spaces. The first isolation plug 13 and the third isolation plug 15 are connected with fixed rods 16 on the side facing the right. Each group of fixed rods 16 is provided with a sealing ring 17 between each group of chambers. The end of each group of fixed rods 16 away from the buffer box 8 is fixedly connected with the simulated barrel 6. The inside of the buffer box 8 is provided with a liquid passage, and the liquid passage communicates the first chamber 10 and the second chamber 12. The inside of the liquid passage is fixedly provided with a throttling orifice plate 27. The inside of the throttling orifice plate 27 is processed with a plurality of throttling holes. The port of the liquid passage communicating with the second chamber 12 is processed into an arc shape, and the throttling holes close to the port of the second chamber 12 are also processed into an arc shape. In the first chamber 10, the space on the left end of the first isolation plug 13 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the space on the right end of the first isolation plug 13 is filled with hydraulic oil. In the second chamber 12, the space on the left end of the second isolation plug 14 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the space on the right end of the second isolation plug 14 is filled with hydraulic oil. The third chamber 11 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the third isolation plug 15 is provided with a small air flow hole (not shown in the figure) on the top, which communicates the spaces on the left and right of the third isolation plug 15. Since the size of the air flow hole is small, the resistance of air flow in the third chamber 11 is large enough.
[0024] The upper end of the buffer box 8 is provided with a closed groove 9 which penetrates the buffer box 8 and communicates with the second loading groove 24. A baffle assembly is slidably connected in the closed groove 9. The baffle assembly includes a baffle 18. The lower half of the baffle 18 is processed into a semicircle shape with a diameter same as the inner diameter of the semicircular tube 702. A fixing seat 19 is mounted on the upper end of the buffer box 8. The fixing seat 19 is in the shape of a ring and surrounds the closed groove 9 inside the ring. A recess is formed in the upper end of the fixing seat 19. A rotating plate 20 is arranged above the fixing seat 19 and is slidably connected with the recess of the fixing seat 19. A through hole 21 with the same length and width structure as the baffle 18 is formed in the center of the upper end of the rotating plate 20. A plurality of operating rods 22 are fixedly installed around the through hole 21. A pull rod 23 is arranged on the upper end of the rotating plate 20. The pull rod 23 is in the shape of T. The longitudinal part of the pull rod 23 is connected with the upper end of the baffle 18 through the through hole 21.
[0025] The supplementary explanation based on the above structure is as follows. The operator actuates the operating rod 22. The operating rod 22 drives the rotating plate 20 to rotate until the through hole 21 is aligned with the closed groove 9. The operator pulls the transverse part of the pull rod 23 to move the longitudinal part of the pull rod 23 upward along the through hole 21, thereby driving the baffle 18 to move upward along the closed groove 9. The structure of the upper half of the baffle 18 passes through the through hole 21, so that the cannon barrel 7 is not blocked. When the operator pushes the transverse part of the pull rod 23 to move downward, the baffle 18 moves downward. The semicircular lower half of the baffle 18 is attached to the semicircular tube 702, so that the cannon barrel 7 is closed (as shown in FIG. 8). Figure 7 Further, the operator actuates the operating rod 22 to misalign the through hole 21 with the closed groove 9. At this time, the rotating plate 20 limits the upward movement of the baffle 18. The rotating plate 20 limits the baffle 18. When the ammunition is fired, the baffle 18 blocks the cannon barrel 7, thereby reducing the energy leakage and providing protection for the operator. Further, when the operator pulls the pull rod 23 to move upward, the baffle 18 moves upward synchronously. At this time, the cannon barrel 7 is not blocked, which is convenient for loading ammunition and gunpowder.
[0026] In the second embodiment, multiple operators enter the inside of the upper cover 4 and reach their respective responsible positions. Further, the operators perform function state detection on the respective managed equipment, confirm whether the equipment is normally operated, and confirm that the equipment is normally operated. The operator serving as the gun captain observes the firing target and issues instructions to the gunner and the loader.
[0027] Further, the operator pulls the lever 22, pulls the pull rod 23, and drives the baffle 18 away from the semicircular tube 702, so that the barrel 7 is penetrated, and the loader sequentially loads the ammunition and the powder pack into the first loading slot 26 and the second loading slot 24 to form a coaxial channel. After loading, the baffle 18 is lowered to isolate the ammunition and the powder pack from the operator. The gunner controls the barrel assembly 5 to aim at the target according to the commander's instruction. After aiming, the commander performs the shooting operation; Further, during shooting, the powder pack is detonated to launch the ammunition. When the powder pack explodes, a huge recoil force is generated in the barrel 7. The recoil force drives the baffle 18 to move away from the simulated barrel 6. The baffle 18 drives the buffer box 8 to move synchronously. Since the fixed rod 16 is fixedly connected with the simulated barrel 6, the fixed rod 16, the first isolation plug 13, and the third isolation plug 15 remain relatively stationary; During the action of the recoil force, with the buffer box 8 as a fixed reference, the first isolation plug 13 and the third isolation plug 15 move along the corresponding chamber inner wall towards the simulated barrel 6. In the first chamber 10, the first isolation plug 13 extrudes the right end space, so that the hydraulic oil in the right end space flows into the second chamber 12 through the throttle orifice plate 27. The hydraulic oil flowing into the second chamber 12 drives the second isolation plug 14 to move away from the simulated barrel 6, extruding the high-pressure gas in the left end space of the second isolation plug 14. At the same time, in the third chamber 11, the third isolation plug 15 moves towards the simulated barrel 6, extruding the high-pressure gas in the right end space of the third isolation plug 15. The gas flows into the left end space through the tiny gas flow hole and generates resistance; During the above movement, the viscosity of the hydraulic oil and the air resistance in the third chamber 11 realize the buffering of the recoil force. The throttle orifice plate 27 further reduces the flowability of the hydraulic oil, thereby increasing the buffering effect.
[0028] In the third embodiment, since the second isolation plug 14 is a closed structure, when the recoil force subsides, the high-pressure gas in the left end space of the second isolation plug 14 rapidly drives the second isolation plug 14 to move towards the simulated barrel 6, so that the hydraulic oil returns to the right end space of the first isolation plug 13 through the throttle orifice plate 27. Since the first isolation plug 13 is fixed through the fixed rod 16, the hydraulic oil returning to the right end space of the first isolation plug 13 extrudes the sealing ring 17, thereby driving the buffer box 8 to move towards the barrel, and resetting the buffer assembly.
[0029] Further, during the resetting process, the hydraulic oil buffers the thrust of the high-pressure gas, avoiding collision damage to the buffer assembly due to the large thrust during resetting. Since the reaction force during ammunition launching is much larger than the thrust of the high-pressure gas, the liquid channel and the arc-shaped port of the throttle orifice plate 27 reduce the resistance of the hydraulic oil when returning to the first chamber 10, so that the buffer assembly is more easily reset.
