Description

DISPOSITIVO PARA CONTAR OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNDEVICE FOR COUNTING OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] La presente invención se refiere, en general, a un dispositivo para contar disparos realizados por un arma de fuego. Más concretamente, la presente invención se refiere a un contador de disparos que lleva a cabo la cuenta de los disparos realizados por un arma de fuego automática y/o semiautomática.[0001] The present invention relates, in general, to a device for counting shots fired by a firearm. More specifically, the present invention relates to a shot counter that performs the count of the shots fired by an automatic and / or semi-automatic firearm.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICASTATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
[0002] Actualmente, el perfeccionamiento de las armas de fuego tal como armas cortas o pistolas ha llevado a que la capacidad de un cargador de una pistola pueda alojar más de una docena de cartuchos, por ejemplo, 18 cartuchos.[0002] Currently, refinement of firearms such as handguns or guns has led to the capacity of a magazine of a gun to accommodate more than a dozen cartridges, for example, 18 cartridges.
[0003] Sin embargo, en un arma de fuego del tipo revolver, es decir, arma de niego que tiene un tambor que es capaz de almacenar normalmente 6 cartuchos, es relativamente fácil controlar mentalmente el número de cartuchos disparadas o utilizadas. En el caso de una pistola que monta un cargador que puede llegar a almacenar 18 cartuchos y uno más en la recámara de la pistola, puede llegar a ser una tarea ardua y complicada el llevar mentalmente un control de los disparos realizados y del número de cartuchos disponibles en el cargador del arma de fuego, con lo que el usuario de la pistola se puede ver sorprendido con el último disparo sin previo aviso y que deja bloqueada la corredera de la pistola.[0003] However, in a revolver type firearm, that is, a denial weapon that has a drum that is capable of normally storing 6 cartridges, it is relatively easy to mentally control the number of fired or used cartridges. In the case of a gun that mounts a magazine that can store 18 cartridges and one more in the chamber of the gun, it can be an arduous and complicated task to mentally keep track of the shots fired and the number of cartridges available in the firearm loader, so that the user of the gun can be surprised with the last shot without warning and that leaves the gun slide locked.
[0004] Por tanto, se hace necesario desarrollar un dispositivo que sea capaz de llevar la cuenta del número de disparos realizados y, por tanto, de los carruchos que quedan sin utilizar en el cargador que, en un momento dado, monta un amia corta de fuego como es una pistola. Asimismo, el dispositivo contador de disparos es capaz de mostrar el número de cartuchos disponible en el cargador.[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device that is capable of keeping track of the number of shots taken and, therefore, of the carts that remain unused in the loader that, at any given time, mounts a short amia of fire like a gun. Also, the trigger counter device is capable of displaying the number of cartridges available in the magazine.
CARACTERIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNCHARACTERIZATION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] La presente invención busca resolver o reducir uno o más de los inconvenientes expuestos anteriormente mediante un dispositivo contador como es reivindicado en la reivindicación 1. Realizaciones de la invención son establecidas en las reivindicaciones dependientes.[0005] The present invention seeks to solve or reduce one or more of the drawbacks set forth above by means of a counter device as claimed in claim 1. Embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
[0006] El dispositivo para contar disparos de la invención lleva a cabo una cuenta del número de disparos realizados con el cargador que monta un arma de fuego en un momento y, también, totaliza el número de disparos realizados por dicho arma y el resultado de dichas cuentas se muestra en una pantalla de visualización incorporada a dicha arma de fuego. Como resultado, en cada instante un usuario del arma de fuego puede conocer el número de disparos que quedan en el cargador y el número de disparos realizados con la misma con el fin de determinar el desgaste de ciertas partes de la misma, por ejemplo, el cañón.[0006] The device for counting shots of the invention carries out an account of the number of shots made with the magazine mounted by a weapon of fire at a time and, also, totals the number of shots fired by said weapon and the result of said accounts is shown on a display screen incorporated into said firearm. As a result, at any moment a user of the firearm can know the number of shots left in the magazine and the number of shots made with it in order to determine the wear of certain parts thereof, for example, the Canyon.
[0007] Consecuentemente, con la cuenta acumulada del número total de disparos realizados con el arma de fuego se puede determina la vida útil del arma de fuego o de alguna/s partes de la misma.[0007] Consequently, with the cumulative account of the total number of shots fired with the firearm, the useful life of the firearm or some parts of it can be determined.
[0008] Otro objeto de la invención es asegurar la visibilidad de los datos de información mostrados en la pantalla de visualización por el usuario del arma de fuego, cuando hace uso de la misma.[0008] Another object of the invention is to ensure the visibility of the information data displayed on the display screen by the user of the firearm, when using it.
[0009] Otro objeto del contador de la invención es llevar a cabo una cuenta parcial de los disparos realizados con un determinado cargador.[0009] Another object of the meter of the invention is to carry out a partial account of the shots made with a certain magazine.
[0010] Otro objeto de la invención es realizar un contador ligero de peso, de reducidas dimensiones y de coste reducido.[0010] Another object of the invention is to make a light weight counter, of reduced dimensions and of reduced cost.
BREVE ENUNCIADO DE LAS FIGURASBRIEF STATEMENT OF THE FIGURES
[0011] Una explicación más detallada de la invención se da en la siguiente descripción basada en las figuras adjuntas en las que:[0011] A more detailed explanation of the invention is given in the following description based on the attached figures in which:
[0012] la figura 1 muestra en una vista en alzado un dispositivo contador de acuerdo a la invención,[0012] Figure 1 shows in an elevation view a counter device according to the invention,
[0013] la figura 2 muestra en una vista de perfil el dispositivo contador de acuerdo a la invención, y [0014] la figura e muestra un diagrama de bloques del dispositivo contador de acuerdo a la invención.[0013] Figure 2 shows in a profile view the counter device according to the invention, and [0014] Figure e shows a block diagram of the counter device according to the invention.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] A continuación, con referencia a la figura 1, se encuentra ilustrado un dispositivo para contar los disparos 12 realizados por un arma 11 de fuego, por ejemplo, una pistola que incluye una pantalla 21 de visualización localizada sobre la corredera de la pistola. [0016] Sin embargo dicha pantalla 21 de visualización puede ser colocada, también, en un lateral de dicha pistola 11 fijándola asimismo al armazón de la pistola 11, de modo que en cualquiera de las posiciones descritas, un usuario de la pistola 11 puede en todo momento, leer la información mostrada por dicha pantalla 21.[0015] Next, with reference to Figure 1, a device for counting the shots 12 made by a firearm 11 is illustrated, for example, a gun that includes a display screen 21 located on the slide of the gun . [0016] However, said display screen 21 can also be placed on one side of said gun 11 also fixing it to the gun frame 11, so that in any of the positions described, a user of the gun 11 can in at all times, read the information shown by said screen 21.
[0017] En la figura 3 se ilustra un diagrama de bloques del dispositivo contador 12 que comprende un medio 31 mecánico de percepción del deslizamiento alternativo de la corredera de la pistola 11 sobre el armazón de la misma, esto es, cuando es realizado un disparo con el arma de fuego 11, la corredera realiza un movimiento hacia el martillo del arma 11 y hacia delante para recuperar su posición antes del disparo.[0017] A block diagram of the counter device 12 is illustrated in Figure 3, comprising a mechanical means 31 for perceiving the alternative sliding of the gun slide 11 on the frame thereof, that is, when a shot is made With the firearm 11, the slider makes a movement towards the hammer of the weapon 11 and forward to regain its position before firing.
[0018] El sensor 31 está unido, desde el punto de vista eléctrico, a un primer medio de recepción 32 que está adaptado para recibir señales de desplazamiento a alta velocidad, generadas por disparos, y transformarlas en señales eléctricas que son enviadas a través de cables eléctricos a un medio de control de lógica programable 33 que, a su vez, está conectado vía cables eléctricos a la pantalla 21 de visualización.[0018] The sensor 31 is connected, from the electrical point of view, to a first receiving means 32 that is adapted to receive high-speed travel signals, generated by shots, and transform them into electrical signals that are sent through electrical cables to a programmable logic control means 33 which, in turn, is connected via electrical cables to the display screen 21.
[0019] El medio de control de lógica programable 33 basado en un medio de programación tal como un microprocesador puede ser conectado a una interfaz de entrada de datos 34 que comprende un teclado alfanumérico y de función como desplazamiento vertical hacia arriba y hacia abajo,, con el que se puede realizar entradas de datos. Por otro lado, algunas teclas pueden ser asociadas a varios caracteres y/o funciones.[0019] The programmable logic control means 33 based on a programming means such as a microprocessor can be connected to a data input interface 34 comprising an alphanumeric keypad and function as vertical up and down scrolling ,, with which you can make data entries. On the other hand, some keys may be associated with various characters and / or functions.
[0020] El teclado 34 permite ir cambiando, de modo manual, de una información visualizada en la pantalla 21 a otra deseada de manera fácil y rápida, esto es, si inicialmente ha sido seleccionado visualizar el número de disparos correspondientes al cargador 13 que está montado en el arma de fuego 11 en un determinado momento, accionando la correspondiente tecla 34 puede ser visualizado el número total de disparos realizados con el arma de niego 11.[0020] The keyboard 34 allows to change, manually, from an information displayed on the screen 21 to another desired easily and quickly, that is, if it was initially selected to display the number of shots corresponding to the charger 13 that is mounted on the firearm 11 at a certain moment, by pressing the corresponding key 34 the total number of shots fired with the denial weapon 11 can be displayed.
[0021] Cuando es realizado un disparo, la corredera sufre, debido al retroceso, una aceleración grande opuesta a la dirección del disparo, que es considerablemente mayor que la aceleración producida por un movimiento brusco del arma l i o por un desplazamiento manual de la corredera por parte de un usuario del arma 11.[0021] When a shot is made, the slide undergoes, due to the recoil, a large acceleration opposite to the direction of the shot, which is considerably greater than the acceleration produced by an abrupt movement of the weapon by a manual displacement of the slide by part of a weapon user 11.
[0022] La aceleración que experimenta la corredera es percibida por el sensor[0022] The acceleration experienced by the slide is perceived by the sensor
31 que genera una señal mecánica que es recibida por el primer receptor 32 que la transforma en una señal eléctrica que, a su vez, es enviada al microprocesador 33, el cual la compara con el umbral mínimo almacenado previamente en la memoria. Si la señal eléctrica tiene un valor superior a dicho umbral, entonces el microprocesador 33 incrementa en una unidad tanto la cuenta del número de disparos realizados con el arma de fuego 11 como la cuenta del número de disparos realizados con el cargador 13 que está montado en dicha arma 11.31 that generates a mechanical signal that is received by the first receiver 32 that transforms it into an electrical signal that, in turn, is sent to the microprocessor 33, which compares it to the minimum threshold previously stored in memory. If the electrical signal has a value greater than said threshold, then the microprocessor 33 increases by one unit both the count of the number of shots fired with the firearm 11 and the count of the number of shots fired with the charger 13 that is mounted on said weapon 11.
[0023] Para poder distinguir el movimiento de retroceso de la corredera debido a un disparo de otro tipo de movimiento, se introduce en una memoria del microprocesador 33, a través del teclado 34, un umbral característico de la aceleración mínima que se alcanza en un disparo. Este umbral mínimo es un parámetro característico del arma 11 y de la munición utilizada por dicha arma 11.[0023] In order to be able to distinguish the recoil movement of the slide due to a shot of another type of movement, a characteristic threshold of the minimum acceleration that is reached by a key is entered into a memory of the microprocessor 33, through the keypad 34 Shooting. This minimum threshold is a characteristic parameter of the weapon 11 and the ammunition used by said weapon 11.
[0024] Consecuentemente, en la pantalla 21 del contador puede ser mostrada visualmente una información seleccionada por el usuario del arma de fuego 11 de las diversas informaciones que puede mostrar la pantalla 21 del contador tal como número total de disparos realizados, número de disparos que quedan en el cargador 13 actual, número de disparos que han sido realizados con el cargador 13 actual, u otras similares. Para ello, el usuario del arma únicamente debe seleccionar el tipo de información que desea visualizar en la pantalla 21 por medio del teclado 34. [0025] Como ha sido indicado anteriormente, el contador 12 puede ser dispuesto sobre la parte superior de la corredera, fijado al armazón del arma 11 de fuego, en un lateral del arma, por ejemplo, en el lateral opuesto a la ventanilla de expulsión, de manera que la pantalla 21 de visualización pueda ser visualizada, en todo momento, por el usuario del arma 11 de fuego cuando realizar un disparo, es decir, la pantalla 21 está dirigida hacia el usuario, ver figura 2.[0024] Consequently, information selected by the user of the firearm 11 from the various information that the screen 21 of the counter can display, such as total number of shots fired, number of shots that can be displayed on the counter screen 21 remain in the current charger 13, number of shots that have been made with the current charger 13, or the like. For this, the user of the weapon must only select the type of information that he wishes to display on the screen 21 by means of the keypad 34. [0025] As previously indicated, the counter 12 can be arranged on the top of the slide, fixed to the frame of the firearm 11, on one side of the weapon, for example, on the side opposite the ejection window, so that the display screen 21 can be displayed, at all times, by the user of the weapon 11 of fire when shooting, that is, screen 21 is directed towards the user, see figure 2.
[0026] También, la pantalla 21 puede estar desplazada del eje del ánima del cañón del anua 11, esto es, no estando sobre la vertical del cañón de manera que la pantalla 21 se encuentra desplazada sustancialmente de una línea imaginaria que une la muesca de mira y alza del arma 11, pudiendo el usuario del arma 11 utilizar el alza del arma 11 cuando realiza un disparo.[0026] Also, the screen 21 may be displaced from the axis of the bore of the barrel of the barrel 11, that is, not being on the vertical of the barrel so that the screen 21 is substantially offset from a line Imaginary that joins the aiming and raising notch of the weapon 11, the user of the weapon 11 being able to use the rise of the weapon 11 when making a shot.
[0027] El contador 12 comprende una unidad de alimentación en forma de batería o pila 35 que suministra energía eléctrica a todos los circuitos del contador 12. La batería 35 es de reducidas dimensiones y larga duración tal como una pila de Litio que proporciona una gran autonomía de funcionamiento.[0027] The meter 12 comprises a power unit in the form of a battery or battery 35 that supplies electrical power to all the circuits of the meter 12. The battery 35 is of small dimensions and long duration such as a Lithium battery that provides a large operating autonomy
[0028] Para alargar en lo posible la vida de la batería 35, el contador 12 dispone de un medio de conmutación, no mostrado, para encender y apagar el contador 12, de manera que cuando no se hace uso del arma 11, el conmutador se encuentra en posición de apagado y, cuando, se va ha utilizara el arma 11, el conmutador se pasa a la posición de encendido. En el estado del conmutador de apagado, el microprocesador 33 sigue recibiendo suministro de energía eléctrica con le fin de mantener ciertas informaciones almacenadas tal como número total de disparos realizados con el arma de fuego 11. Por tanto, el contador 12 incluye una circuitería asociada al microprocesador 33 y la batería 35 que realiza la tarea de mantener el suministro de energía eléctrica al microprocesador 33 durante el tiempo en que está el contador 12 en el estado de apagado. [0029] La pantalla 21 de visualización puede ser del tipo cristal líquido LCD, electroluminiscente, de plasma o similares, por el hecho de que estas tecnologías implican un menor consumo energía eléctrica. También, la pantalla 21 puede ser una pantalla táctil, luego en este caso algunas funciones del medio de entrada de datos 34 pueden ser realizadas desde dicha pantalla 21.[0028] To extend the life of the battery 35 as much as possible, the counter 12 has a switching means, not shown, to turn the counter 12 on and off, so that when the weapon 11 is not used, the switch it is in the off position and, when the weapon 11 is going to be used, the switch goes to the on position. In the state of the shutdown switch, the microprocessor 33 continues to receive power supply in order to maintain certain stored information such as total number of shots fired with the firearm 11. Therefore, the counter 12 includes a circuitry associated with the microprocessor 33 and the battery 35 which performs the task of maintaining the power supply to the microprocessor 33 during the time the counter 12 is in the off state. [0029] The display screen 21 may be of the LCD, electroluminescent, plasma or similar liquid crystal type, due to the fact that these technologies imply a lower consumption of electrical energy. Also, the screen 21 can be a touch screen, then in this case some functions of the data input means 34 can be performed from said screen 21.
[0030] Asimismo, el contador 12 puede incluir un puntero láser para apuntar el arma de fuego 11 a un objetivo, de manera que el puntero láser está localizado a espaldas de la pantalla 21 de visualización.[0030] Likewise, the counter 12 may include a laser pointer to aim the firearm 11 at a target, so that the laser pointer is located behind the display screen 21.
[0031] El dispositivo 12 contador está alojado en la culata del arma 11 de fuego.[0031] The counter device 12 is housed in the butt of the firearm 11.
[0032] Se ha de observar que para realizar una mejor descripción del presente invento se ha utilizado una pistola como un ejemplo, pudiéndose usar el invento en otras anuas de fuego. Un técnico en el campo del invento puede hacer variaciones evidentes a fin de utilizarlo en otros tipos de armas de fuego semiautomáticas o automáticas. [0032] It should be noted that to make a better description of the present invention a pistol has been used as an example, the invention being able to be used in other fire rings. A technician in the field of the invention can make obvious variations in order to use it in other types of semi-automatic or automatic firearms.
