With a surprised look, Xie Huimin saw Qin Zhenhua take out a piece of paper from his pocket, which seemed to be put in his pocket casually. If the paper was not a particularly hard drawing paper, it would make people think it was going.
It was used for the thatched cottage, and after the paper was unfolded, the clearly designed drawing appeared in front of Xie Huimin.
"Is this a swing loader?" Xie Huimin couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes and asked Qin Zhenhua.
Tank guns can be automatically loaded, but when loading, they need to reset to a certain angle. Why is this?
Of course, it is because of the loading problem. The shells must be parallel barrels to be stuffed in. On the tank, this is not very complicated. After all, the tank gun was originally mainly used for flat firing, and the elevation angle is not high, but howitzers and the like
The elevation angle is often not low. At this time, it is necessary to reset before the shell is plugged in, because even if there is an automatic loader behind it, it will not move.
In order to avoid this influence, there is a swing loader. This loader can swing behind it. After the gun barrel rotates, the shells waiting to be loaded will be in a state parallel to the gun barrel at any time.
, thus meeting the needs of automatic loading.
However, this requires a lot of space, and there is no inside the tank, but the space for the body and turret behind the self-propelled cannon is reserved. Use it as you want, which creates a swinging loader.
Conditions.
After all, after the cannon is fired, it takes time to lower it, load the shells, and then rise.
Now, with this method, the time for loading shells can be greatly reduced.
However, on the other hand, how to put the shells to be loaded on this swinging loader is another problem.
If the loader does not swing, the shells in the turret rear turret are parallel to the loader and can be directly output. However, now the loader swings back and forth, which leads to the shells in the turret and loader.
The ammunition machine has an angle.
Either the gun barrel or the ammunition compartment is moved, which leads to new problems.
"The ammunition in the tailgate is moved to the loader by loading hands, and then loaded by the loader. This is what I said is semi-automatic loading." Qin Zhenhua said: "How?"
There are many problems to overcome when fully automatic loading. In addition to returning to the gun barrel every time, there are other problems, such as choosing a type of ammunition!
A cannon has absolutely more than one type of ammunition. Even if it is a howitzer, there can be other differences such as lethal grenades and blasting grenades. Take the current self-propelled anti-tank gun as an example, the main bullet
The species are naturally stable tail shell-unshed armor-piercing bullets, but if necessary, they can also be used for grenades.
How to identify ammunition with automatic loading machine?
French Leclerc tanks were identified by barcodes on shells, and the Soviets simply stipulated that certain ammunition should be placed in certain ammunition.
What about our own side?
Just leave it to manual work!
In the past, when the shells were loaded manually, they had to be removed. After the fire was opened, they opened the gun door, stuffed it into the barrel, and closed the gun door to complete the loading action. Only after they were fired could a shell be moved.
Now, you only need to do one action by loading your shells from behind and place them on the position to be loaded in the semi-automatic loader. The rest should be left to this semi-automatic loader to solve the problem!
This was also a creative invention. Qin Zhenhua took the design drawing of the device and explained it carefully. At this time, Xie Huimin was already stunned.
"You kid, have you designed this plan long ago?" Xie Huimin looked at Qin Zhenhua. Although the alcohol was already on the rise, he still reacted: "You kid, you are really unkind!"
This semi-automatic loader must have been designed for the tank by Qin Zhenhua!
As designers of tank factories, they need to be prepared both ways. Whether it is a 120mm tank gun or a 125mm tank gun, they must have a backup plan.
After all, it is not certain which one to choose in the end. If the superior tends to maintain the same caliber as the West, would he use a 120mm tank gun?
Then, the loading problem will have to be solved by the first machine factory. Leclerc's loading method is high and there are too many uncertainties. Qin Zhenhua and others just designed such a semi-automatic loading machine, which greatly reduced the number of
Labor intensity of loading hands.
After all, it would be enough to move the shells over. If it were before, there would have been several movements, holding fifty kilograms of white flour in both hands, trying to lift it up and stuff it into a place? It's too hard, now, just
Just move it, and a small tanker can also be competent.
You kid, since you have this plan, why didn’t you come up with it?
If it had been taken out at that time, perhaps the boss would have agreed to the 120mm tank gun plan?
"Actually, we are not satisfied with this plan." Qin Zhenhua said: "It still needs the turret tail warehouse and still requires a large space. Four people have to squeeze in the turret. Therefore, it is not suitable to put it on the tank.
, if you have a self-propelled artillery, that's just right."
Qin Zhenhua didn't lie, that's what he thought. Now, taking out this stuff from the bottom of the box is full of enthusiasm. This design idea is actually based on the red skin, but his father didn't have the opportunity to perfect it at that time.
That's it.
Father, I am making your vision come true for you little by little!
Specifically, this is called a semi-automatic loader with manual bullet collection and fixed-point automatic ammunition supply. If done well, it can achieve a maximum ammunition supply speed of 14 rounds/minute, or it can complete 3 rounds/18 seconds and 5 rounds/30 rounds.
In seconds, a rapid shooting, a normal ideal state can shoot 10 shells in one minute.
In this way, a self-propelled anti-tank gun that ambushed in a preset position with camouflage and only exposed its muzzle can kill a Soviet T72 tank company in seconds within 1 minute.
That's right, the self-propelled anti-tank gun is just doing this job. Once the fire is opened, the opponent will be killed immediately. As long as you delay, the person will be killed. The thin armor can only prevent machine gun bullets from firing.
Once the shells fly over, the self-propelled anti-tank gun will be blown away.
"In this way, all the problems have been solved. This project is now used as a cooperation project between our two factories, how about it?" Xie Huimin asked.
Qin Zhenhua shook his head repeatedly: "No, absolutely not. This project is from your factory. You need to pay us a fee. We build your car body, install tank guns for you, and give you semi-automatic ammunition loaders. Our factory, no
We will invest a penny. Our money is not blown by the strong wind."
