MULTIBARREL LAUNCHER Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment. SUBSTANCE: in agreement with invention multibarrel launcher has base, block of N guides, power supply unit, electric drive to block of guides, device controlling electric motor drive that incorporates first, second and third switches , limit switch mechanically coupled to block of guides, firs logic OR gate, first and second flip-flops and circuit launching shells including fourth switch, pulse generator, shift register and ignition circuits of electric fuses of shells. Output of power supply unit is connected through make contacts of first and second switches to information inputs of first and second flip-flops correspondingly and through make contacts of fourth switch to input of pulse generator. Output of pulse generator is coupled to input of shift register, each of N inputs of the latter is connected to ignition circuit of electric fuse of proper shell and output of power supply unit is connected through make contacts of third switch to first input of logic OR gate whose second input is coupled through break contacts of first switch and limit switch to output of power supply unit. Output of logic OR gate is connected to setting inputs of first and second flip-flops which outputs are coupled correspondingly to first and second inputs of electric motor drive of block of guides. Output of it is connected to block of guides. Launcher is supplemented with second logic OR gate, logic AND gate, unit determining number of shots, shot counter, comparator and indicator. In this case third input of first logic OR gate is connected to output of logic AND gate, outputs of first and second flip-flops are connected correspondingly to first and second inputs of second logic OR gate whose output is coupled to first input of logic AND gate which second input is connected through make contacts of fourth switch to output of power supply unit. Output of logic AND gate is connected to input of pulse generator which output is coupled to input of shot counter, output of it is connected to first input of comparator, second input of it is coupled to output of unit determining number of shots and output is connected to input of indicator and third input of logic AND gate. Launcher is added with third OR gate installed between make contacts of second switch and information input of second flip-flop, extension coil including autonomous power supply unit, firing button and indicator. Output of autonomous power supply unit is connected through make contacts of firing button of extension coil to second input of logic AND gate, output of autonomous power supply unit is coupled through make contacts of switch of extension coil to first input of third OR gate which second input is connected through make contacts of second switch to output of power supply unit. Output of third OR gate is connected to information input of second flip-flop. Input of indicator of extension coil is coupled to output of comparator. EFFECT: reduced time of transfer of launcher from combat to transportation position while firing from shelter. 1 dwg
