METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR LOADING ARTILLERY PIECES BY MEANS OF FLICK RAMMING

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for flick ramming shells (1) and the propellant powder charges in artillery pieces which are loaded with these components separately. The invention therefore comprises both a method and an arrangement and it is characterized above all in that the respective component (1) is accelerated to the necessary ramming velocity using an electromechanically generated energy supply in the form of starting acceleration from an electric motor (2), the rotating starting acceleration of which is mechanically converted into rectilinear acceleration and the energy supply from which can, if required, be supplemented with the energy supply from a previously charged energy accumulator (7, 37a) which is triggered simultaneously with the start of the electric motor.
