Abstract

Es sind Schalt- oder Steuerkabel zum Umschalten von Weichen bekannt. Diese bekannten Schalt- oder Steuerkabel haben den Nachteil, dass sie nur von einer Stelle aus bedient werden können. Erfindungsgemäss ist das Schalt- oder Steuerkabel in zwei Kabelabschnitte (10,11) unterteilt, welche durch eine Kupplung miteinander verbunden sind. Das von einer Feder (19) gespannte Schalt- oder Steuerkabel (10,11) kann nun wahlweise von einer Haltevorrichtung (20) zum Umschalten der Weiche freigegeben und von der Feder verschoben werden oder durch Lösen der Kupplung, wobei nur der eine Kabelabschnitt (10) von der Feder (19) verschoben wird.Switching or control cables for switching switches are known. These known switching or control cables have the disadvantage that they can only be operated from one point. According to the invention, the switching or control cable is divided into two cable sections (10, 11) which are connected to one another by a coupling. The switching or control cable (10, 11) tensioned by a spring (19) can now either be released by a holding device (20) for switching the switch and moved by the spring or by releasing the coupling, only one cable section (10 ) is moved by the spring (19).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schalt- oder Steuerkabel, das von einer Feder gespannt ist und das zum Schalten und / oder Steuern von einer Haltevorrichtung freigegeben und von der Feder verschoben wird.The invention relates to a switching or control cable which is tensioned by a spring and which is released for switching and / or control by a holding device and displaced by the spring.

Solche Schalt- oder Steuerkabel dienen zum Beispiel zum Umschalten einer Weiche. Erfindungsgemäss wird ein solches Schalt- oder Steuerkabel an einer Gatling-Kanone verwendet, bei welcher einerseits bei Spätzündung einer Patrone und andererseits bei Einzelschuss das Seriefeuer unterbrochen wird, wobei eine Weiche geschaltet wird.Such switching or control cables are used, for example, to switch a switch. According to the invention, such a switching or control cable is used on a Gatling cannon, in which the series fire is interrupted on the one hand when a cartridge is late and on the other hand when a single shot is fired, a switch being switched.

Ein solches, bekanntes Schalt- oder Steuerkabel hat den Nachteil, dass es nur von einer Stelle aus durch Lösen der Haltevorrichtung betätigt werden kann.Such a known switching or control cable has the disadvantage that it can only be operated from one place by releasing the holding device.

Die Aufgabe, welche mit der vorliegenden Erfindung gelöst werden soll, besteht in der Schaffung eines Schalt-oder Steuerkabels, das von mindestens zwei Stellen aus betätigt werden kann, um z.B. eine Weiche umzuschaltenThe object which is to be achieved with the present invention is to provide a switching or control cable which can be operated from at least two locations, e.g. to switch a switch

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Kabel aus zwei Kabelabschnitten besteht, welche durch eine Kupplung miteinander verbunden sind, dass beim Lösen der Kupplung nur der eine Kabelabschnitt von der Feder verschoben wird und dass bei geschlossener Kupplung beim Lösen der Haltevorrichtung beide Kabelabschnitte von der Feder verschoben werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the cable consists of two cable sections which are connected to one another by a coupling, that only one cable section is displaced by the spring when the coupling is released, and that when the coupling is closed, both cable sections are released from the when the holding device is released Spring are moved.

Bei Verwendung des Schalt- oder Steuerkabels an einer Gatling-Kanone wird bei Spätzündung einer Patrone die Haltevorrichtung gelöst zur Freigabe des Schalt- oder Steuerkabels und bei Einzelschuss wird die Kupplung gelöst, zur Freigabe des einen Kabelabschnittes, der von der Feder verschoben wird.When using the switching or control cable on a Gatling cannon, the holding device is released in the event of a late ignition of a cartridge to release the switching or control cable and, in the case of a single shot, the clutch is released to release the one cable section which is displaced by the spring.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemässen Schalt-oder Steuerkabels mit Kupplung ist im folgenden anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung ausführlich beschrieben. Es zeigt:An embodiment of the switching or control cable according to the invention with clutch is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing. It shows:

Gemäss Fig.1 besteht das zu kuppelnde und zu entkuppelnde Kabel aus den beiden Abschnitten 10 und 11. Am rechten Ende des Abschnittes 10 ist ein Kabelkopf 12 befestigt, der in einer Büchse 13 fest verankert ist und am linken Ende des anderen Abschnittes 11 ist ebenfalls ein Kabelkopf 14 befestigt, der jedoch verschiebbar in der Büchse 13 geführt ist. Dieser Kabelkopf 14 weist eine Rille 15 auf, in welche zwei kugelförmige Sperrkörper 16 hineinragen. Diese Sperrkörper 16 ragen ferner in Radialbohrungen 17 der Büchse 13, wodurch eine Verschiebung des Kabelkopfes 14 in der Büchse 13 verhindert wird. Somit sind die beiden Kabelabschnitte 10 und 11 über die Büchse 13 und die beiden Sperrkörper 16 starr miteinander verbunden. Die Büchse 13 ist ihrerseits in einer zweiten Büchse 18 verschiebbar geführt, daher können die beiden Kabelabschnitte 10 und 11 mit der Büchse 13 und den Sperrkörpern 16 verschoben werden. In Fig.2 ist die linke Endstellung des aus den Abschnitten 10 und 11 bestehenden Kabels dargestellt.According to FIG. 1, the cable to be coupled and uncoupled consists of the two sections 10 and 11. At the right end of section 10 a cable head 12 is fastened, which is firmly anchored in a bushing 13 and at the left end of the other section 11 is also a cable head 14 attached, but which is slidably guided in the sleeve 13. This cable head 14 has a groove 15 into which two spherical locking bodies 16 protrude. This locking body 16 also protrude into radial bores 17 of the sleeve 13, whereby a displacement of the cable head 14 in the sleeve 13 is prevented. Thus, the two cable sections 10 and 11 are rigidly connected to one another via the bushing 13 and the two locking bodies 16. The sleeve 13 is in turn guided in a second sleeve 18 so that the two cable sections 10 and 11 can be moved with the sleeve 13 and the locking bodies 16. In Fig.2 the left end position of the cable consisting of sections 10 and 11 shown.

Es werde angenommen, dass am linken Abschnitt 10 des Kabels eine Druckfeder 19 das Bestreben hat das Kabel, d.h. zumindest den linken Abschnitt 10 nach links zu schieben und dass am rechten Abschnitt 11 eine schematisch dargestellte Klemmvorrichtung 20 vorhanden ist zum Festhalten oder Freigeben zumindest des rechten Abschnittes 11. Wie aus Fig.2 ersichtlich ist, verschiebt sich beim Offnen der Klemmvorrichtung 20 das Kabel mit den beiden Abschnitten 10 und 11 nach links und die Druckfeder 19 kann sich entspannen.It is assumed that a compression spring 19 on the left section 10 of the cable tends to pull the cable, i.e. at least to push the left section 10 to the left and that on the right section 11 there is a schematically illustrated clamping device 20 for holding or releasing at least the right section 11. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the cable moves with the opening of the clamping device 20 the two sections 10 and 11 to the left and the compression spring 19 can relax.

Gemäss Fig.l. ist die zweite Büchse 18 in einem Gehäuse 21 verschiebbar gelagert. An diesem Gehäuse 21 ist eine Hülse 22 befestigt, auf der eine Druckfeder 23 verschiebbar geführt ist. Diese Druckfeder 23 stützt sich einerseits an einem Kragen der Hülse 22 und andererseits über eine Scheibe auf der Büchse 18 ab. Die Feder 23 hat das Bestreben die Büchse 18 im Gehäuse 21 nach links zu verschieben, wie aus Fig.3 ersichtlich ist. Durch diese Verschiebung der Büchse 18 nach links, gelangen die erwähnten Sperrkörper 16 gemäss Fig.3 in eine Rille 24 an der Innenwand der Büchse 18, wodurch diese Sperrkörper 16 den Kabelkopf 14 freigeben, da die Sperrkörper 16 nicht mehr in die Rille 15 des Kabelkopfes 14 hineinragen. Der Kabelkopf 14 ist daher in der Büchse 13 frei verschiebbar. Die Feder 19 ist somit in der Lage den Abschnitt 10 des Kabels mit der Büchse 13, mit den Sperrkörpern 16 und mit der Büchse 18 nach links zu verschieben, wie aus Fig.4 ersichtlich ist. Zur Freigabe der Büchse 18 dient eine Klinke 25 (Fig.2), welche in nicht dargestellter Weise , z.B. von Hand, betätigbar ist. In diesem Falle ist eine Verschiebung des linken Kabelabschnittes 10 möglich, auch wenn der rechte Kabelabschnitt 11 von der Klemmvorrichtung festgehalten wird. Gemäss Fig.5 ist am Gehäuse 21 ein weiteres Gehäuse 26 befestigt, in dem ein hülsenförmiger Kolben 27 verschiebbar geführt ist. Das Gehäuse 26 ist durch einen Deckel 28 geschlossen. Zur Verschiebung des Kolbens 27 im Gehäuse 26 sind zwei Druckkammern 29 und 30 vorhanden, welche über Druckleitungsanschlüsse 31 und 32 an eine nicht dargestellte Druckölquelle angeschlossen sind. Im Kolben 27 ist ein Stössel 33 verschiebbar geführt und kann durch Sperrkörper 34 gegen eine Verschiebung gesichert werden. Diese Sperrkörper 34 ragen einerseits in eine Rille 35 des Stössels und andererseits in Radialbohrungen 36 des Kolbens 27. Eine Feder 37, die sich einerseits an einer Schulter des Kolbens 27 und andererseits an einer Schulter des Stössels 33 abstützt, hat das Bestreben, den Stössel 33 gegen die Büchse 13 zu drücken. Sobald der Kolben 27 im Gehäuse 26 gemäss Fig.5 etwas nach rechts geschoben wird, können die Sperrkörper 34 in eine breite Rille 28 gelangen, wobei sie dann nicht mehr in die Rille 35 des Stössels 33 hineinragen, wie aus Fig.6 ersichtlich ist.According to Fig.l. the second sleeve 18 is slidably mounted in a housing 21. On this housing 21, a sleeve 22 is attached, on which a compression spring 23 is slidably guided. This compression spring 23 is supported on the one hand on a collar of the sleeve 22 and on the other hand via a disk on the sleeve 18. The spring 23 has the tendency to move the bushing 18 in the housing 21 to the left, as can be seen from FIG. As a result of this displacement of the bush 18 to the left, the locking bodies 16 mentioned come into a groove 24 on the inner wall of the bush 18 according to FIG. 3, whereby these locking bodies 16 release the cable head 14, since the locking bodies 16 no longer enter the groove 15 of the cable head 14 protrude. The cable head 14 is therefore freely displaceable in the sleeve 13. The spring 19 is thus able to move the section 10 of the cable to the left with the sleeve 13, with the locking bodies 16 and with the sleeve 18, as can be seen from FIG. To release the sleeve 18 is a pawl 25 (Fig.2), which can be operated in a manner not shown, for example by hand. In this case, a displacement of the left cable section 10 is possible, even if the right cable section 11 is held by the clamping device. 5, a further housing 26 is fastened to the housing 21, in which a sleeve-shaped piston 27 is displaceably guided. The housing 26 is closed by a cover 28. To move the piston 27 in the housing 26, two pressure chambers 29 and 30 are provided, which are connected via pressure line connections 31 and 32 to a pressure oil source, not shown. A plunger 33 is displaceably guided in the piston 27 and can be secured against displacement by blocking bodies 34. These locking bodies 34 protrude into a groove 35 in the plunger on the one hand and in radial bores 36 in the piston 27 on the other hand to press against the sleeve 13. As soon as the piston 27 is pushed somewhat to the right in the housing 26 according to FIG. 5, the blocking bodies 34 can reach a wide groove 28, in which case they no longer protrude into the groove 35 of the plunger 33, as can be seen from FIG.

Gemäss Fig.6 ist der Kolben 27 hydraulisch vollständig nach rechts verschoben worden und hat einerseits die zweite Büchse 18 so weit nach rechts verschoben, dass die Druckfeder 23 komprimiert wurde, dabei ist auch der Stössel 33 im Kolben 27 verschoben worden, wodurch die Feder 37 komprimiert wurde. Ausserdem hat sich die Büchse 18 gegenüber der Büchse 13 verschoben, dadurch wurden die Sperrkörper 16 in die Rille 15 des Kabelkopfes 14 hineingestossen, sodass sich der Kabelkopf 14 nicht mehr in der Büchse 13 verschieben kann.According to FIG. 6, the piston 27 has been hydraulically displaced completely to the right and, on the one hand, has displaced the second bushing 18 to the right so far that the compression spring 23 has been compressed, the plunger 33 in the piston 27 has also been displaced, as a result of which the spring 37 was compressed. In addition, the bushing 18 has shifted relative to the bushing 13, as a result of which the blocking bodies 16 have been pushed into the groove 15 of the cable head 14, so that the cable head 14 can no longer shift in the bushing 13.

Gemäss Fig.7 wurde der hydraulische Kolben 27 wieder teilweise nach links verschoben. Die Büchse 18 wird jedoch durch die Klinke 25 gehalten und kann daher nicht mehr durch die Kraft der Druckfeder 23 nach links verschoben werden.7, the hydraulic piston 27 has been partially shifted to the left again. However, the bush 18 is held by the pawl 25 and can therefore no longer be moved to the left by the force of the compression spring 23.

Sobald die Ausgangslage gemäss Fig.1 wieder erreicht ist, das heisst wenn der hydraulische Kolben 27 wieder vollständig nach links verschoben wurde, dann werden die Sperrkörper 34 durch die Innenwand des Gehäuses 26 wieder in die Rille 35 des Stcssels 33 gedrückt, wodurch sich der Stössel 33 nicht mehr im Kolben 27 verschieben kann, genau wie die Sperrkörper 16 durch die Innenwand der Büchse 18 in die Rille 15 des Kabelkopfes 14 gedrückt werden, so dass sich der Kabelkörper 14 nicht mehr in der Büchse 18 verschieben kann.As soon as the starting position according to FIG. 1 is reached again, that is to say when the hydraulic piston 27 has been completely shifted to the left again, the locking bodies 34 are pressed through the inner wall of the housing 26 into the groove 35 of the plunger 33 again, as a result of which the plunger moves 33 can no longer move in the piston 27, just as the locking body 16 is pressed through the inner wall of the sleeve 18 into the groove 15 of the cable head 14, so that the cable body 14 can no longer move in the sleeve 18.

Die Wirkungsweise des beschriebenen Schalt- und Steuerkabels mit Kupplung ist wie folgt: Gemäss Fig.1 ist das Kabel, bestehend aus den beiden Abschnitten 10 und 11, um den Betrag "a" im Gehäuse 21 und 26 verschiebbar, sobald die Klemmvorrichtung 20 geöffnet wird und die Druckfeder 19 sich entspannen kann. Die beiden Abschnitte 10 und 11 des Kabels sind miteinander gekoppelt, da wie gesagt die Sperrkörper 16 durch die Innenwand der Büchse 18 in die Rille 15 des Kabelkopfes 14 gedrückt werden, eine Verschiebung des Kabelkopfes 14 in der Büchse 13 daher nicht möglich ist und der andere Kabelkopf 12 ohnehin in der Büchse 13 fest verankert ist. Der Kabelabschnitt 11 ist verschiebbar in der Hülse 22 geführt und der andere Kabelabschnitt 10 ist verschiebbar im Stössel 33 geführt.The mode of operation of the described switching and control cable with coupling is as follows: According to FIG. 1, the cable, consisting of the two sections 10 and 11, can be displaced by the amount "a" in the housing 21 and 26 as soon as the clamping device 20 is opened and the compression spring 19 can relax. The two sections 10 and 11 of the cable are coupled to one another, since, as said, the locking bodies 16 are pressed through the inner wall of the bush 18 into the groove 15 of the cable head 14, a displacement of the cable head 14 in the bush 13 is therefore not possible and the other Cable head 12 is firmly anchored in the sleeve 13 anyway. The cable section 11 is slidably guided in the sleeve 22 and the other cable section 10 is slidably guided in the plunger 33.

Gemäss Fig.1,3 und 4 ist der Kabelabschnitt 10 allein um den Betrag "a" im Gehäuse 21 und 26 verschiebbar, sobald die Klinke 25 (Fig.2) betätigt wird. Durch die Betätigung der Klinke 25 kann die Druckfeder 23 die zweite Büche 18 nach links verschieben, bis die Rille 24 der Büchse 18 in den Bereich der Sperrkörper 16 gelangt (Fig.3). Diese Sperrkörper 16 können daher in diese Rille 24 der Büchse 18 eindringen und aus der Rille 15 des Kabelkopfes 14 herausgeschoben werden, wie aus Fig.3 ersichtlich ist. Der Kabelkopf 14 ist somit gegenüber der Büchse 13 frei verschiebbar. Durch die Klemmvorrichtung 20 wird aber eine Verschiebung des Kabelabschnittes 11 und des Kabelkopfes 14 verhindert. Hingegen kann die Druckfeder 19 den Kabelabschnitt 10 mit dem Kabelkopf 12 und der daran befestigten Büchse 13 um den Betrag "a" (Fig.1) nach links verschieben, wie aus Fig.4 ersichtlich ist. Dabei verschiebt sich der Kabelkopf 14 relativ zur Büchse 13 und sichert die Sperrkörper 16 in ihrer äusseren Stellung, in der sie in die Rille 24 hineinragen.According to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the cable section 10 can be displaced by the amount "a" in the housing 21 and 26 as soon as the pawl 25 (FIG. 2) is actuated. By actuating the pawl 25, the compression spring 23 can move the second bush 18 to the left until the groove 24 of the bush 18 reaches the area of the locking body 16 (FIG. 3). This locking body 16 can therefore penetrate into this groove 24 of the sleeve 18 and be pushed out of the groove 15 of the cable head 14, as can be seen from FIG. The cable head 14 is thus freely displaceable relative to the sleeve 13. Through the clamping device 20 but a displacement of the cable section 11 and the cable head 14 is prevented. In contrast, the compression spring 19 can shift the cable section 10 with the cable head 12 and the bushing 13 attached to it by the amount "a" (FIG. 1) to the left, as can be seen from FIG. The cable head 14 moves relative to the sleeve 13 and secures the locking body 16 in its outer position, in which they protrude into the groove 24.

Wie aus der beschriebenen Wirkungsweise hervorgeht, kann die Verschiebung des Kabelabschnittes 10 um den Betrag "a" (Fig.l) entweder durch Betätigung der Klemmvorrichtung 20 oder durch Betätigung der Klinke 25 (Fig.2) erreicht werden.As can be seen from the described mode of operation, the displacement of the cable section 10 by the amount "a" (FIG. 1) can be achieved either by actuating the clamping device 20 or by actuating the pawl 25 (FIG. 2).

Diese Kabelkupplung eignet sich zum Beispiel für eine Gatling-Kanone, die sowohl bei Spätzündung einer Patrone als auch nach einem Einzelschuss ausgeschaltet werden soll, wobei durch eine nicht rechtzeitig gezündete Patrone die Klemmvorrichtung 20 geöffnet wird und, sofern Einzelschuss gewünscht wird, durch die erste zu verschiessende Patrone die Klinke 25 zur Freigabe der Büchse 18 betätigt wird. Die Verschiebung des Kabelabschnittes 10 bewirkt in beiden Fällen, dass ein Seriefeuer der Kanone sofort unterbrochen wird.This cable coupling is suitable, for example, for a Gatling cannon, which is to be switched off both when a cartridge is fired late and after a single shot, the clamping device 20 being opened by a cartridge which was not fired in time and, if a single shot was desired, by the first one firing cartridge the pawl 25 is actuated to release the sleeve 18. In both cases, the displacement of the cable section 10 has the effect that a series fire of the cannon is interrupted immediately.
