On the right side of the positioning shaft, a rectangular stop block II is fixed on the base plate. On the left rear side of the positioning shaft, an L-shaped stop block I is fixed on the base plate.
[0006] The positioning shaft is inserted into the ammunition storage cylinder, and the rear sleeve on the bottom end of the ammunition storage cylinder is fitted into the stop block II and the stop block I; between the rear sleeve and the sleeve I of the ammunition storage cylinder, two semi-circular arc-shaped clamps are provided on the outside of the ammunition storage cylinder, and the two clamps fit against the rear sleeve and the sleeve I.
[0007] Between sleeve I and sleeve II of the ammunition storage tube, three evenly spaced and vertically arranged support sleeves are provided on the outside of the ammunition tube. The support sleeves are inserted into one of the support sleeves and the small round holes at the corners of sleeve I and sleeve II. The support sleeves are in close contact with sleeve I and sleeve II.
[0008] The bottom of the end cap has a circular positioning groove with the opening facing downwards. Above the positioning groove, at the center of the top of the end cap, there is a through hole communicating with the positioning groove. On one side of the through hole, there is a pin hole A communicating with the positioning groove in the end cap. The end cap is installed by engaging with the front sleeve at the upper end of the ammunition storage cylinder through the positioning groove.
[0009] The fastening bolts are fitted through the through hole and fixedly connected to the upper end of the positioning shaft, and the positioning pins are fitted through the pin hole A and fixed to the upper end of the positioning shaft.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 13, a special assembly fixture for artillery ammunition storage cylinders includes a body 1, a stop block I 2, a stop block II 3, a clamping block 4, a shaft 5, a support sleeve 6, an end cap 7, fastening bolts 8, and a positioning pin 10. The body 1 includes a base plate 101 and a positioning shaft 102. The positioning shaft 102 includes a shaft body 1021 and a plug 1022. The shaft body 1021 is a hollow tube. The plug 1022 is fixed at the upper end of the shaft body 1021 and is flush with the top of the shaft body 1021. A threaded hole 1023 is provided at the center of the plug 1022, and a pin is provided in the plug 1022 on one side of the threaded hole 1023. Hole B1024; A circular hole 1011 is provided at the center of the base plate 101. On the right side of the circular hole 1011, a rectangular notch a1012 is provided in the base plate 101. On the left rear side of the circular hole 1011, an L-shaped notch b1013 is provided in the base plate 101. The positioning shaft 102 is vertically fixed at the center of the base plate 101. On the right side of the positioning shaft 102, a rectangular stop block I2 is fixed on the base plate 101. The stop block I2 is fixedly installed in the notch b1013. On the left rear side of the positioning shaft 102, an L-shaped stop block I2 is fixed on the base plate 101. The stop block II3 is fixedly installed in the notch a1012.
[0033] The positioning shaft 102 is inserted into the cartridge 1101 of the cartridge 11. The rear sleeve 1102 on the bottom end of the cartridge 11 is placed in the stop block II 3 and the stop block I 2. Between the rear sleeve 1102 and the sleeve I 1104 of the cartridge 11, two semi-circular arc-shaped clamping blocks 4 are provided on the outside of the cartridge 1101. The clamping blocks 4 are consistent with the curvature of the outer wall of the cartridge 1101. The two clamping blocks 4 are in close contact with the rear sleeve 1102 and the sleeve I 1104.
[0034] Between the sleeve I 1104 and sleeve II 1105 of the ammunition storage tube 11, three evenly spaced and vertically arranged support sleeves 6 are provided on the outside of the ammunition tube 1101. The shaft 5 is fitted into one of the support sleeves 6 and the small round hole at the corner of sleeve I 1104 and the small round hole at the corner of sleeve II 1105. The support sleeve 6 is in close contact with sleeve I 1104 and sleeve II 1105.
[0035] The bottom of the end cap 7 is provided with a circular positioning groove 701 facing downwards. Above the positioning groove 701, at the center of the top of the end cap 7, there is a through hole 702 communicating with the positioning groove 701. The through hole 702 is located at the center of the positioning groove 701. On one side of the through hole 702, the end cap 7 is provided with a pin hole A703 communicating with the positioning groove 701. The end cap 7 is installed by cooperating with the front sleeve 1103 at the upper end of the ammunition storage cylinder 11 through the positioning groove 701.
[0036] The pin hole A703 and the pin hole B1024 are on the same center line and have the same size. The through hole 702 and the threaded hole 1023 are on the same center line. The fastening bolt 8 is threaded through the through hole 702 and threaded into the threaded hole 1023 on the plug 1022. The positioning pin 10 is inserted into the pin hole A703 and the pin hole B1024 and fixed. A horizontal handle 9 is installed in the head of the fastening bolt 8.
[0037] The circular hole 1011 at the center of the base plate 101 is used to assemble the positioning shaft 1021. After the base plate 101 and the positioning shaft 101 are assembled, they are pre-welded, and the perpendicularity is checked by scribing. After the perpendicularity meets ≤0.05mm, the welding is completed. The base plate 101 has an L-shaped notch b1013 and a rectangular notch a1012 according to the assembly coordinates of the sleeve in the specific ammunition storage cylinder 11. The two notches are equipped with detachable stop blocks I2 and II3, which serve as the sleeve in the ammunition storage cylinder 11. The positioning reference surface of the hoop has a surface roughness of ≤3.2, serving as the basis for axial and radial positioning of the ammunition storage cylinder 11. The end cap 7, stop block I2, and stop block II3 form an axial positioning block. Stop block I2 and stop block II3 fix the rear hoop 1102 and hoop I1104 in the ammunition storage cylinder 11. The end cap 7 has a positioning groove 701 with a shape that matches the flange of the front hoop 1103 in the ammunition storage cylinder 11. The groove depth is consistent with the flange thickness, thereby achieving axial positioning of the ammunition storage cylinder 11.
[0038] The positioning shaft 102, shaft 5, and positioning pin 10 form a radial centering column. The positioning shaft 102 is set in the circular hole 1011 of the base plate 101. The axis of the positioning shaft 102 is coaxial with the theoretical axis of the ammunition storage cylinder 11. The diameter of the positioning shaft 102 and the inner wall of the ammunition storage cylinder 11 have a clearance of ≤0.1mm. After being inserted into the cylinder, it forms a radially rigid centering. Since the circular holes at the corners of the sleeves I 1104 and II 1105 in the ammunition storage cylinder 11 are single-piece fixed-size, it is necessary to ensure that the circular holes at the corners are coaxial during the assembly and welding process. Shaft 5 is inserted into the circular holes at the corners of the two sleeves to radially fix the two sleeves. Small circular holes are machined on the end cover 7 and the positioning shaft 102 at the same time. The positioning pin 10 is inserted into the pin hole A703 of the end cover 7 and the pin hole B1024 of the positioning shaft 102 to radially rigidly fix the end cover 7.
[0039] The clamping block 4 and the support sleeve 6 form a height positioning block. To ensure the form and position relationship between the rear sleeve 1102 and sleeve I 1104 and sleeve II 1105, the clamping block 4 and the support sleeve 6 are set between the three sleeves. The fastening bolt 8 and the handle 9 on the end cover 7 form a mechanical locking device. By tightening the fastening bolt 8 with the handle 9, the front end of the ammunition storage cylinder 11 is rigidly pressed, and the radial centering column and the height positioning block form a three-dimensional fixation.
[0040] To improve the wear resistance of the positioning surfaces and ensure long-term accuracy, the surfaces of the base plate 101, stop block I2, stop block II3, shaft 5, positioning shaft 102, positioning pin 10, support sleeve 6 and end cover 7 are all carburized and quenched to a hardness ≥ HRC55.
[0041] In use, the cartridge 1101 of the ammunition storage cylinder 11 is fitted onto the positioning shaft 102. The rear sleeve 1102 and sleeve I 1104 are then installed on the cartridge 1101 in sequence. The height is controlled between sleeve I 1104 and the intermediate sleeve II 1105 using the clamping block 4. Then sleeve II 1105 is fitted, and the shaft 5 is inserted into the round hole at the corner end of sleeve I 1104 and the intermediate sleeve II 1105. The front sleeve 1103 is then fitted, the end cap 7 is assembled using the positioning pin 10, and the fastening bolt 8 is tightened using the handle 9.
[0042] Fixture installation: 1) After assembling the base plate 101 and the positioning shaft 102, pre-weld them first, check the verticality by scribing, and complete the welding after the verticality meets ≤0.05mm; insert the L-shaped stop block I2 and the rectangular stop block II into the L-shaped notch a1012 and the rectangular notch b1013 in the base plate 101 according to the assembly coordinates of the sleeve in the specific ammunition storage tube 11. 2) Based on the position of the rear sleeve 1102 in the ammunition storage cylinder 11, assemble the clamping block 4 to determine the position of sleeve I 1104. Insert the shaft 5 and the support sleeve 6 into the small round hole at the corner of sleeve I 1104 and the sleeve II 1105 to determine the position of sleeve II 1105. Through the above means, the assembly height of each sleeve on the ammunition storage cylinder 11 is determined.
[0043] Assembly process of ammunition storage tube 11: 1) Manually hold the ammunition storage cylinder 1101 and slowly insert it into the positioning shaft 102 until the inner wall of the ammunition storage cylinder 1101 is completely in contact with the positioning shaft 102. 2) Slowly push the rear sleeve 1102 and sleeve I 1104 of the ammunition storage tube 11 into the reference plane of the L-shaped stop I 2 and the rectangular stop II 3 along the outer circle of the ammunition tube 1101; 3) Slowly push the sleeve II 1105 of the ammunition storage tube 11 along the outer circle of the ammunition tube 1101, then insert the shaft 5 and a support sleeve 6 into the small round holes at the corners of the sleeve I 1104 and the sleeve II 1105, and place the other two support sleeves 6 between the sleeve I 1104 and the sleeve II 1105 until the planes of the sleeve I 1104 and the sleeve II 1105 are parallel. 4) Slowly push the front sleeve 1103 of the ammunition storage tube 11 into the outer circle of the ammunition tube 1101, and align the flanges of the ammunition tube 1101 and the front sleeve 1103 with the positioning groove 701 of the clamp end cover 7. 5) Check the assembly status of the ammunition cylinder 1101, front sleeve 1103, sleeve I 1104, sleeve II 1105 and rear sleeve 1102 in the ammunition storage cylinder 11. After confirming that there are no errors, tighten the final fastening bolts 8 to complete the assembly.
[0044] Fixture maintenance: Regularly inspect the wear of the reference surface of stop I2, the reference surface of stop II3, the positioning shaft 102 and the positioning pin 10. When the roughness of the positioning surface exceeds Ra3.2 or the diameter wear of the positioning shaft 102 and the positioning pin 10 is ≥0.01mm, grind and repair the positioning surface or replace the positioning shaft 102 and the positioning pin 10 to ensure long-term positioning accuracy.
