APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LAUNCHING MISSILE, AND MULTIPLE LAUNCHING SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: To charge a missile simply and quickly and to launch it at a great rate. ;CONSTITUTION: In a triple launching system 1, three missile launching apparatus 5, 6, 7 are concyclically located on a rotary board 4 at regular intervals, each of which apparatus is in the same posture, and the rotary board 4 is positioned so that these missile launching apparatus 5, 6, 7 can be respectively stopped at a launching position X, at a charging position Y and at an injecting position Z. Each of the missile launching apparatus 5, 6, 7 is so composed that a fuel-jetting device 11 is provided intersecting with the axis of a barrel 8 and that a closer is provided at the rear part of a combustion chamber 9 formed in the barrel 8, and a missile W is charged by opening and closing the closer. A jetting piston 15 recoils by reaction force, which is caused by the launching operation of the missile-launching apparatus 5 being at the launching position X, and a link 28 in a torque-transmitting link mechanism 24 swings in the direction of an arrow mark (a). One end side of the link 28 engages with a stopping cam surface 30 on a torque-generating cam 25 fixed on a carriage 2 and works thereon as the fulcrum of a lever. In this way, the link 28 transmits the recoil force of the jetting piston 15 to the rotary board 4 and turns it.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO&Japio
