Projectile lift
A projectile lift for vertically moving ammunition elements between two storage levels of a magazine comprising a receiving tray for receiving an ammunition body and a retaining device for retaining the ammunition body, wherein the retaining device can vertically lift the ammunition elements away from the receiving tray. The disclosure also relates to a magazine including a projectile lift and a method for vertically moving ammunition elements.
1. A projectile lift for the vertical movement of ammunition bodies between two storage levels in a magazine having a receiving tray for receiving an ammunition body and a holding device for holding the ammunition body,
wherein
the holding device can raise the ammunition body vertically from the receiving tray.
2. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the ammunition bodies can be displaced on the receiving tray in the longitudinal direction.
3. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device can be moved relatively in respect of the receiving tray in the vertical direction.
4. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device can raise the ammunition bodies from the receiving tray in the manner of a grab and deposit them on the receiving tray.
5. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device can be moved in the vertical direction via a linear drive.
6. A projectile lift according to claim 5 , wherein the linear drive has at least one rotatable threaded spindle which moves the holding device in a vertical direction when rotated.
7. A projectile lift according to claim 5 , wherein the linear drive has a guide element which is arranged in the manner of a spindle nut on the threaded spindle.
8. A projectile lift according to claim 6 , further including a lifting motor which can drive the threaded spindle of a linear drive via a gearing mechanism.
9. A projectile lift according claim 1 , wherein the receiving tray can be moved in the vertical direction.
10. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving tray and the holding device are coupled to one another in such a manner that the receiving tray can be moved along with the holding device, when the holding device is located within or above a limit level.
11. A projectile lift according to claim 10 , wherein the receiving tray is uncoupled from the holding device when said holding device is located below the limit level.
12. A projectile lift according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving tray is coupled to the holding device via a linear guide.
13. A projectile lift according to claim 12 , wherein the linear guide has a limit stop which limits a movement of the holding device in respect of the receiving tray.
14. A magazine having a projectile lift according to claim 1 .
15. A method for the vertical movement of ammunition bodies between two storage levels of a magazine having a receiving tray for receiving an ammunition body and a holding device for holding the ammunition body,
wherein
the holding device raises an ammunition body vertically from the receiving tray.
