Abstract
Device (12) for counting the total number of shots fired by a firearm (11) and those fired with a same loader mounted on the weapon by means of the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of physical parameters relating to its firing cycle, in such a way that the information obtained is shown in real time on a visual display unit with the activation, visual display and setting to zero being automatic actions without intervention from the user, by means of a computer programme, with it being possible to carry out such operations manually as well. The visual display unit may show other parameters of the firearm's operation (11) such as the temperature of those points most likely to overheat so that the weapon may be used with safety and precision.
Claims27
Ammunition consumption control device, in real time for a firearm (11) which makes the mechanical action of firing;
- characterised in that the counting device (12) comprises a sensor (32) which is adapted to perceive the movement of a means (31) solid to a mobile mechanical element of the firearm which moves as a result of the shot and/or which is adapted to perceive mechanical disturbances generated during the shot;
- the aforementioned sensor (32) is adapted to generate an electric signal which is sent to a programmable logic control means (33) so that a count in a counter unit stored in said programmable logic control means (33) varies according to the number of shots fired by the firearm (11) in turn, the programmable logic control means (33) sends said count generated to a visual display unit (21).
