DRIVE OF ARTILLERY MOUNT ROTARY CONVEYER Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, in particular, armored equipment. SUBSTANCE: the drive has an electric motor, slipping link, planetary reduction gear with an epicycle retainer, and a hand drive with a handle. The sun gear of the planetary reduction gear, engaged with the epicycle, is installed on the shaft with an eccentricity relative to the carrier axis and provides for rotation relative to the shaft. Rollers engaged with cylindrical holes arranged on the concentric circle of the sun gear are positioned at an equal distance from the axis of rotation of the carrier. The epicycle retainer is made in the form of a spring-loaded lever engaged with the pawl of the ratchet-and-pawl gear of the hand drive. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of drive operation, enhanced angular velocity of conveyer rotation with ammunition at hand operation, and reduced force applied to the handle. 1 dwg
