Description

The utility model relates to aviation weapons, in particular, to removable, airborne weapons suspended on universal suspension points.

Known modular launcher (patent US 3766828, B64D 7/00, publication 10/23/1973), which includes mounted on the aircraft central launch beam and rocket holders on both sides of it. When the transport launch container is locked with the rocket located in it, the container is simultaneously locked in the device locks and the electrical connector of the container is connected to the on-board network. Also at the bottom of the installation are nodes for attaching an additional beam, which makes it possible to suspend additional missiles.

However, this device is intended for the use of missiles of a certain type, it also lacks a safety mechanism for blocking combat chains.

Known transport and launch container guided missile (patent RU 2288423, F41F 3/042, publ. 02.27.2006), in which the means of connection with the ground equipment of the electric circuits of launch and control of the rocket are placed directly in the container, while the control connector is sealed on the outside of the front cover of the container.

The disadvantages of this device are restrictions on the use of missiles of a different type and the absence of a safety mechanism for blocking combat chains.

Known aircraft launcher, the closest to the claimed technical solution, developed by OJSC “MVZ them. M.L. Mile ”(Technical description“ Mi-35M helicopter, 2011, book 3, pp. 92-93, 141-144), which consists of 3 modules: the upper (main) and two lower (front and rear). The launcher allows you to place up to 8 guided missiles. Missiles in containers are mounted on consoles, on which there are locks for attaching pins. The top module is covered by front and rear fairings. A switch block is installed inside the front fairing. Each rear lock is equipped with an electrical connector, while the amount of information transmitted through it is limited, because determined by the type of connector used and the number of contacts.

The disadvantages of this device are the limited functionality in terms of the use of modern missiles, as for the transmission of information and control of modernized missiles requires a larger number of signals compared to the number implemented in the prototype.

The purpose of the proposed technical solution is to expand the functionality of the aircraft launcher in terms of finalizing the electrical connector and signal switching unit for the use of modern missiles with increased overall mass characteristics, which can be used in any weather conditions (all-weather use) in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the aircraft.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the aircraft launcher contains three modules: the upper and two lower, detachable connection of the upper and lower modules is carried out using studs, and the upper module, closed by the front and rear fairings, is made in the form of a beam with consoles equipped with front or rear locks for fastening transport-launch containers, while electrical connectors are placed on the rear locks, and in accordance with the claimed utility model, each console contains one y lock for fixing freight containers launchers, and each electrical connector is configured to desyatikontaktnym connector consisting of washers, which are pressed ten brass contacts and two cylindrical guide pins, in addition, inside the rear cowl upper module block arranged switching signals.

The use of a modified electrical connector with a special ten-pin connector in combination with the presence of a signal switching unit inside the rear fairing allows you to generate and transmit the necessary signals for the use of modern all-weather missiles, thereby expanding the functionality of the device and the aircraft, equipped with an aircraft launcher.

The design of the aircraft launcher is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

in FIG. 1 - aircraft launcher, General view,

in FIG. 2 - rear lock, side view,

in FIG. 3 - connector electrical connector, General view,

in FIG. 4 - mate connector, top view.

The aircraft launcher (Fig. 1) consists of three modules: the upper 1 and two lower (front 2 and rear 3), and the detachable connection of the upper module 1 with the lower modules 2 and 3 is carried out using studs 4 held by springs (not shown) .

The upper module 1 is made in the form of a power beam 5 with consoles 6 for mounting missiles in transport and launch containers (not shown). On the beam 5 of the upper module 1 there are eyebolts 7, as well as front 8 and rear 9 stops for fixing the launching device to the suspension points of the helicopter (not shown). While the power beam 5 is made increased in height and length compared with the prototype. On each console 6 there is one front 10 or rear 11 lock for attaching the trunnions of transport-launch containers.

Each lower module 2 and 3 is a bracket with two consoles attached to it 6. The aircraft launcher allows you to place up to 4 guided missiles with increased mass-dimensional characteristics.

The front lock 10 consists of a housing 12, a handle 13 and a heel 14.

The rear lock 11 (Fig. 2) consists of a housing 12 ', a handle 13', an adjustable stop 15, a latch 16 of the housing, two rods 17 and levers 18.

The upper module 1 (Fig. 1) is closed by the front 19 and rear 20 fairings.

To lock the starter circuit, a switch block (not shown) is provided that is installed inside the front cowl 19, provided with a hole 21 for the check 22. Inside the rear cowl 20 is a specially designed signal switching unit (not shown).

Each rear lock 11 (Fig. 2) is equipped with an electrical connector 23, which serves to dock missiles with the onboard network of the helicopter. On the connectors 23, plugs 24 are installed.

The electrical connector 23 includes a special connector 25 (Fig. 3) connected to the helicopter's onboard networks, which consists of a washer 26 made of dielectric material and ten brass contacts 27 pressed into it, as well as two cylindrical guide pins 28. In this case the lower parts of the pins 28 are used as attachments to the rear lock 11, and the upper parts are for fixing the connector 25 with the mating connector 29 (Fig. 4).

Ten contacts 27 of the connector 25 correspond to the connector 29 of the reciprocal part of the transport and launch container, which allows you to connect upgraded missiles that can be used in any weather conditions (all-weather use).

The connector 29 of the reciprocal part of the transport and launch container with a missile installed in it (Fig. 4) consists respectively of a dielectric pad 30, in which there are ten grooves 31 for contacts 27 and two holes 32 for two guide pins 28.

Aircraft launcher operates as follows.

Missiles in transport and launch containers are mounted on the front 10 and rear 11 locks of the consoles 6 (Fig. 1, 2). First, the rear lock 11 is closed, then the front 10, so that the housing of the handle 13 'of the rear lock 11 with the rods 17 and levers 18 moves and presses the trunnion of the transport and launch container to the adjustable stop 15, excluding the movement of the container in a horizontal plane. In this case, the connector 25 is docked with the connector 29 of the reciprocal part (Fig. 3, 4), and the firing circuit of the rocket is connected to the onboard network of the helicopter.

When installing the handle 13 of the front lock 10 from a vertical to a horizontal position, the housing of the handle 13 raises the heel 14 through an adjustable stop 15.

To undock the upper module 1 with the lower modules 2 and 3, it is necessary to remove the studs 4. In this case, only the upper module 1 will be used, which allows you to place two missiles.

To block the switch block, a check 22 is inserted in the hole 21 of the front fairing 19, which is removed from the hole 21 immediately before the combat mission after the suspension of the missiles, which increases the reliability of the device and safety during maintenance.

To control the rocket, the pilot sends commands that are transmitted through the onboard network of the helicopter to the signal switching unit, and then to the rocket using the connector 23 through the connector 25.
