Description

The invention relates to shipbuilding and relates to storage facilities for aircraft ammunition on ships.

The invention “Aircraft ammunition storage rack” is known, RF patent No. 2509043, representing a multi-tiered structure consisting of racks, fixed beams and folding beams installed on them with lodgements with means of restraint against displacement of aircraft ammunition in all directions under the rolling of the ship. The design feature of the rack is its fastening to the deck of the ship (thereby freeing up useful volumes on the ceiling to accommodate lifting devices), as well as its versatility (placing ammunition of various shapes on one rack due to interchangeable lodgements), which allows you to select the optimal performance of the rack in depending on the size of the ship’s premises.

Also known is the invention "A universal small-sized shelving for storing aircraft-based ammunition", RF patent No. 2568157, which is a multi-tier quick-assembled structure consisting of racks, fixed beams and folding beams, removable lodgements installed on them and means of restraint against displacement of aircraft ammunition in the conditions of ship rolling .

However, these racks have a number of disadvantages, namely:

- retention of aircraft ammunition during spontaneous operation of their engines is provided on these racks only when using additional devices, such as, for example, a device for holding aviation ammunition for protruding suspension elements of aircraft ammunition on the shelf (RF patent No. 2567969);

- a large number of operations with devices and mechanisms of racks, which leads to an increase in the time of issuance of aviation ammunition and to excessive fatigue of personnel;

- increased time for loading and unloading operations in the premises for storing aircraft ammunition and issuing them on the upper deck for hanging them on an aircraft (aircraft carrier);

- the design of the racks does not allow for the joint supply of storage equipment with the aircraft munitions placed on them to the aircraft on the upper deck.

The aim of the invention is to develop a storage facility that could supply aviation ammunition, including existing and promising unguided missiles (hereinafter referred to as products) with a supporting surface diameter of up to 100 mm or any other mass of up to 50 kg, in ship rooms from storage to the upper deck directly to the aircraft.

In the present invention, this goal is achieved by the fact that the means of storing aviation unguided rockets is a package for a given caliber of products, representing a prefabricated structure, the basis of which is a welded frame 1, consisting of vertical struts and cross-pieces connecting them. The placement of products in the package is carried out in several tiers on the beams mounted on the frame. Lower beams 2 for the lower tier are fixed on the frame permanently. The hinged beams 3 of the remaining tiers are made rotatable, fixed to the frame using forks 4 and axles 5 (see Fig. 3). In this case, the hinged beams are clamps for products lying in a tier below. The clamping and supporting surfaces of the beams adjacent to the products are glued with rubber. The design of the supporting surfaces on the beams of the package allows using the recesses on them to provide retention of products in the presence of persistent protrusions on them.

There are protrusions on the axles, and on the beams there are grooves corresponding to them, which allow the beams to be installed in the “working” (closed) and “non-working” (open) positions. In the "working" position, the beams are fixed using the stops 6 mounted on the racks of the frame, and fixed on the beams of the clamps. The latch (see Fig. 2) consists of a rod 8, inside of which a rod 9 is placed, connected to the handle 7, and a spring 10. To fix the hinged beam in the “working” position, it is necessary, having previously pulled the latch handle, to bring the free end of the beam into focus then release the handle. The rod under the action of the spring will enter the hole in the stop, thus preventing spontaneous displacement of the beam in the vertical plane.

To install the hinged beam 3 to the “inoperative” position, it is necessary to first pull the retainer handle, move the beam up along the axis 5 until it disengages from the axis protrusions, then turn the beam around the axis and lower it down. The beam, having entered the grooves into engagement with the protrusions on the axis, is fixed in the “inoperative” position. The beam is installed from the “non-working” to the “working” position in the reverse order.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 as an example, packages for storing unguided aircraft rockets for placing items in the amount of 40 pieces are presented. However, the number of placed products can be increased or decreased depending on the caliber of the products or the imposed restrictions on weight and size indicators.

In the shipboard premises for storing aircraft ammunition, packages are installed on the foundations of package 17 welded to the deck. The fastening of the packages is carried out by hinged bolts with wing nuts fixed to the foundations (see Fig. 5).

Packages are installed on top of each other in stacks in one, two or three tiers (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 6). For fastening the packages to each other on the frame there are 6 hinged bolts 11 with wing nuts. The accuracy of installing the package on the package and fixing them from displacement when rolling is provided by pins 12.

In order to ensure greater stability and security, adjacent packages for storing products of the upper tier are fastened together by lanyards 18, for which lateral eyes are provided on the package from the sides 14. The extreme stack packages are additionally attached to the deck with chain extensions 16 also for the side eyes 14.

Unguided missiles are stacked sequentially from the lower tier to the upper tier. To put them in a package you need:

- deploy all the hinged beams 3 in the "inoperative" position;

- place the products on the front and rear lodgements of the lower 2 beams;

- after laying the first tier of products, raise and rotate the beams of the next tier, when the hinged beam reaches the wall of the package frame - pull the handle 7 from the wall and lower the beam to the stop 6 of the package;

- release the handle 7;

- make sure that the handle rod gets into the hole on the wall of the package frame;

- sequentially load with products the remaining tiers of the package.

Unloading of products from the package is carried out in the reverse order, starting from the upper tiers and ending with the lower tiers.

The delivery of packages with products from the shipboard premises for storing aircraft ammunition to the upper deck is carried out, starting from the upper packages and ending with the lower ones.

The scheme for delivering packages from the ship’s storage facility for aviation ammunition to the upper deck to the aircraft is shown in FIG. 6.

To move the package from the storage place in the ship’s room to the upper deck to the aircraft:

- fix the traverse on the lifting device;

- using a lifting device to bring the yoke to the package and hook the yoke hooks on the eyes 13 of the package;

- undock the elements holding it from the bag: wing nuts, chain extensions and lanyards;

- move the package to the aircraft ammunition lift using a lifting device and place it on the aircraft platform of the aircraft ammunition lift on a transportation vehicle having appropriate docking units with the package;

- move the aircraft ammunition elevator to the upper deck along with the vehicle and bag;

- using the means of transportation to carry out the transportation of the package to the aircraft and issue unguided rockets into the suspended blocks of guns.

The delivery of packages from the upper deck to the ship's premises is carried out in the reverse order.

The advantage of using this package are:

- simplicity and manufacturability of the design;

- the ability to submit the package together with the products to the upper deck directly to the aircraft using the means of transportation, thereby increasing the rate of delivery of products;

- the ability to select the optimal package for specific types of products;

- the ability to hold products in case of spontaneous operation of their engines in the presence of persistent protrusions on them;

- the possibility of using the design of the package not only for unguided missiles, but also any other aviation ammunition having a small diameter cylindrical bearing surfaces.
