Description

Application area

The proposed method and device relate to remote-acting electroshock devices, in particular, to the means of delivering electric current from the electroshock device to the target using projectile flexible electrical conductors.

State of the art

Remote-action electroshock devices or DESHU are a modern type of non-lethal weapon that is successfully used by law enforcement officers to protect law and order, as well as by citizens for self-defense.

The action of the ESHU is provided by organizing electrical contact between the working (combat) electrodes of the ESH and the target, mainly with the help of a shot from a cartridge - a replaceable device attached to the ESHU to provide remote impact on the target and containing one or more probes ejected as a result of a shot towards the target. connected to the working (combat) electrodes of the ESHU using flexible electrical conductors (GEP). Packing with a gap, as a rule, made in the form of a single-layer spiral or a multilayer coil of insulated, bare or partially insulated wire, can be placed in the cavity of the cartridge, or in the cavity of the probe itself. During the flight of the probe, the GEP is pulled out of the box, maintaining the electrical connection between the probe and the corresponding working electrode of the DESU, thereby providing an electrical effect on the offender.

One of the important tasks solved by the developers of the DESU when creating electroshock devices is the task of ensuring the prompt extraction of used ("fired") cartridges for subsequent loading of new cartridges into the DESU or "getting rid" of the flexible electrical conductors of the used cartridge hanging between the target and the DESU. The extraction of the cartridge involves several stages:

turning off the influence of DESHU (formation of a series of high voltage current pulses affecting the target - the offender);

unlocking (release from the fixed position, which ensures correct aiming and firing) of the cartridge in the DESHU shaft (by the DESHU shaft we mean the compartment in the DESHU case, into which the cartridge is installed);

the actual extraction of the cartridge from the DESHU mine.

There is a known method of extraction of the cartridge, which consists in its manual release and operative manual extraction from the DESU with the second hand of the DSHU operator (the operator holds the DSHU itself with the first hand). This method is implemented in known devices, for example, in [1]. This method has disadvantages, the main of which are the following:

the operator of the DESHU has to use the other hand;

the use of the second cartridge requires either the extraction of the used cartridge and loading of the new cartridge (for single-charge devices), or only the extraction of the used cartridge for the use of the second cartridge (for double-charge DES);

the time required to reload the cartridge, including the extraction of the used cartridge, can be prohibitively long in an operational setting (in real interaction with offenders).

There is also known a method for extracting a cartridge, which consists in its prompt mechanical extraction (ejection) from the DESU with the same hand of the DESHU operator, with which he holds the DESHU, through the use of mechanical assemblies with a cartridge pusher placed in the DESHU, for example, using a pre-compressed and fixed spring (mechanical release of the cartridge and the spring is performed, which ensures the subsequent extraction). It is implemented in some devices, for example, in [2]. This method has an advantage over the one described above, since the second hand of the DESU operator is not involved during extraction, but it also has disadvantages, the main of which are the following:

the presence of repeatedly used, complex and therefore limitedly reliable mechanical units in the DESU, which ensure the extraction of the cartridge;

increased dimensions of the DESU, in which it is necessary to place the mentioned units, in comparison with devices with manual extraction of the cartridge.

Of the known devices closest to the proposed cartridge, a cartridge for an electric shock device of remote action is selected, containing a housing with a mechanism for removable installation on an electric shock device, having counterparts of a mechanism for removable installation of the cartridge, equipped with electrical contacts located with the possibility of electrical connection with the electric shock device, located in two propelling charges made in the body of the working channels, placed in the accelerating channels made in the body, coaxial to the working channels, two probe electrodes, as well as two ejected flexible electrical conductors located in the cavities made in the body [3]. The cartridge is realized as a product "BTER" manufactured by the Russian company "MART GROUP" and is removed from the DESHU manually with the second hand of the DESHU operator (the operator holds the DESHU itself with the first hand).

Of the known DES with non-manual extraction of the cartridge, the device [4] is the closest to the proposed DES. The extraction of the cartridge consists in its prompt mechanical extraction (pushing out) from the DESU with the same hand of the DESHU operator, with which he holds the DESHU, due to the use of mechanical assemblies with a cartridge pusher, located in the DESHU, with the help of a pre-compressed and fixed spring. In this device, a mechanical sequential unlocking of the cartridge and the spring, which provides extraction, is performed. The DESHU has many advantages over devices with manual extraction, however, there are also disadvantages inherent in all devices with mechanical extraction, the main of which is the presence of multiple, complex and therefore limited reliable mechanical assemblies in the DESHU that ensure cartridge extraction.

The aim of the invention is to develop a method for extracting a cartridge from a DES, free from the indicated disadvantages, a device that implements the proposed method, as well as a DES, in which the proposed method and device can be applied.

The technical result consists in providing a convenient, fast and reliable extraction of the cartridge from the DESHU shaft, controlled by the same hand of the DESHU operator, with which he holds the DESHU.

Disclosure of invention

The problem is solved by the fact that in the method for extracting a cartridge from a remote-acting electric shock device, extraction is carried out by mechanical impact on the inner side of the front wall of the cartridge body of the pusher located in the extraction channel, made in the form of a blind or plugged hole on the side of the front wall of the cartridge, in which a pusher sequentially placed a wad, limiting the outlet of residual gases formed when the propellant charge is triggered, and a propellant charge initiating the movement of the pusher, configured to interact with the output of the extraction initiation circuit located in the electroshock device.

The extraction initiation circuit interacts with the propellant charge of the extraction channel, made in the cartridge, while the mentioned extraction control can be installed on the body in places accessible for ergonomic control by the finger of the same hand of the ESU operator, in which he holds the ESU, including inside or outside of the said bracket, or structurally combined with the trigger, which has two phases of travel, and in the first phase, the used cartridge is extracted, and in the second phase, the next cartridge is initiated, or it is triggered automatically after the end of the maximum exposure time period or when the ESD effect on the target is turned off ...

Detailed description of the invention

FIG. 1. The proposed method for extracting the cartridge is difficult to separate from the description of the design of the cartridge that implements this method. As an example of the general design of the cartridge for the implementation of the proposed method, the BTER cartridge manufactured by the Russian LLC "MART GROUP" [5] is selected. FIG. 1 shows the body 2 of the cartridge 1, the outputs of the two cavities 3 for storing flexible electrical conductors, the outputs 4 of the two accelerating channels, coaxial with the working channels (not shown in Fig. 1). Thus, the cartridge contains two systems for throwing the cartridge probes at the target. These cartridges are called two-wire cartridges. In the technique of electroshock devices, single-wire and multi-wire cartridges are also used, the proposed extraction method can be applied in them.

FIG. 2a is a cross-sectional view of the cartridge along the line AA in accordance with FIG. 1. In the body 2 of the cartridge, parallel accelerating channels 4 are made symmetrically relative to the central longitudinal axis of the cartridge (the execution of the channels symmetrical and parallel to each other is optional, it is used for an example of a specific implementation). The working channels 5 are made coaxial with the accelerating channels 4 (the coaxial execution of the working 5 and the accelerating channels 4 is also optional, but it is found in the designs of cartridges most often), they have a diameter larger than the diameter of the accelerating channels 4. In the accelerating channel 4 there is a probe 6 containing a body 7 and a needle 8, usually equipped with a barb in the front part to securely fix the needle in the body or clothing of the target (the target is an aggressive animal or an aggressive offender). In the working channel 5, a propellant charge 9 is placed, made mainly in the form of a pyrotechnic charge (other variants of the propellant charge design are also possible, for example, a miniature cylinder with compressed gas or a pre-compressed spring), when ignited, a high-pressure gas cloud arises, acting on the wad 11 , which mechanically acts on the rear end of the probe 6, pushing it out of the acceleration channel towards the target. The propellant charge 9 is closed by a cover 12, which protects the cartridge from the escape of gases from its rear side. The set of elements 4 ... 12 forms one channel of the probe throwing system. The second channel of the probe throwing system is arranged in a similar way. The system of throwing probes, electrically interacting with the output electrodes of the DESHU forms a complete closed circuit of the DESHU - target - DESHU, providing the required effect of the DESHU on the target.

An additional channel 13 is made along the central longitudinal axis of the housing 2 of the cartridge 1 (the execution of the channel 13 along the central longitudinal axis of the housing is optional, it is used for an example of a specific implementation), made in the form of a deaf or damped (i.e. initially through, and then damped with the help of a tightly fitted insert, not shown in Fig. 2) from the side of the front wall of the housing 2 of the cartridge 1 of the hole, which ensures the extraction of the cartridge from the DES. In the channel 13 there is a propellant 14, made mainly in the form of a pyrotechnic charge (other variants of the propellant charge are also possible, for example, a miniature compressed gas cylinder), when ignited, a cloud 15 of high-pressure gases appears. The propellant charge 14 is closed by a cover 16, which protects the cartridge from the escape of gases from its rear side. The wad 17, which closes the gas outlet to the front of the channel 13, is installed in the rear of the pushing probe 18. The gas cloud 15 acts on the rear end of the pushing probe 18, forcing it to accelerate along the channel 13 towards the rear wall of the front side of the housing 2 of the cartridge 1 The probe 17 can be made with a weighting agent 19, which provides a greater impulse to the probe, respectively, a greater extraction force when striking the rear wall of the cartridge housing. For gradual bleeding of residual gases that could penetrate into channel 13 after firing from the DES, a through hole 20, preferably of a small diameter, can be made in the front wall of the cartridge housing.

FIG. 2b shows a cross-section of the cartridge along the line B-B in accordance with FIG. 1. In the body 2 of the cartridge 1, two cavities 3 are made, in which flexible electrical conductors 21 are placed, with their front end electrically interacting with the probes 6, and with their rear ends electrically interacting with the contacts located on the cartridge body and providing electrical interaction with the output electrodes of the electroshock device (not shown in Fig. 2). When fired from the DES with a cartridge installed in it, the probes 6 fly out of the channels 4 and fly towards the target, and the flexible electrical conductors 21 are pulled out of the cavities 3, ensuring the electrical interaction of the needle 8 of the probe 6 with the output electrodes of the electroshock device (in Fig.2b not shown).

In another version of the design of the cartridge, flexible electrical conductors 21 are placed in cavities made in the bodies 7 of the probes 6 of the cartridge 1, and during the flight of the probe to the target, they are pulled out of the probes towards the operator of the DES.

In section along the line B-B, the additional channel 13 with the elements placed therein is also visible and fully corresponds to FIG. 2a, because, as mentioned earlier, in this example of the design of the cartridge, it is made along the central longitudinal axis of the cartridge body.

FIG. 3a shows a different design of the cartridge, generally the same as that shown in FIG. 2, but differing in the design of the pusher 11, which is made in the form of two structurally combined cylindrical elements of different diameters, and the element of the smaller diameter is located partly in the accelerating channel, and partly in the working channel, the element of the larger diameter is completely placed in the working channel. The wad is made in the form of a cylindrical part 22 with a through hole with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the front part of the pusher, and is put on it. The outer diameter of the wad 22 corresponds to the diameter of the working channel.

FIG. 3b shows the construction of the cartridge in accordance with FIG. 3a after the propelling charges 9. The pushers 11 move forward under the influence of the high pressure gas clouds 10 and push the probes 6 towards the target. The pushers 11 complete their movement by resting their wads 22 against the rear parts of the accelerating channels 3, blocking the exit of gases 10 to the outside. The pusher (piston) 17 in this case remains in the initial position, since its propellant charge 14 is not initiated.

FIG. 4 illustrates the situation after the complete departure of the probes 6, hitting them on the target and the end of the impact of the electroshock device on the target (or miss). When the propellant charge 14 is initiated, the pusher 17, equipped with a wad 18, begins to accelerate towards the rear surface of the front wall of the cartridge body. A strong impact of the pusher 17 into the said wall imparts a large impulse to the cartridge and leads to its extraction from the DES. If some excess or residual amount of gases 15 formed after the ignition of the propellant charge gets into the accelerating part of the channel 13, it is gradually released into the surrounding atmosphere through the hole 20.

The initiation of pyrotechnic propelling charges 9 and 14 can be carried out by various technical means, in particular, a high-voltage spark discharge or ohmic (thermal) action of a current pulse. A high-voltage spark discharge occurs in the discharge gap between two electrodes placed in the propellant charge, to which a high-voltage current pulse is applied, and initiates the ignition of the pyrotechnic working substance of the propellant charge. The ohmic (thermal) action of a current pulse applied to a high-resistance coil (or an electrical conductor of a different shape), placed in a propellant charge, leads to its instantaneous heating and, accordingly, to the initiation of the working substance of the propellant charge.

The initiation of propellant charges made in the form of miniature cylinders with compressed gas (air, CO ₂ , etc.) can be carried out by puncturing the cylinder with a sharp needle, the needle is set in motion, for example, when a pyrotechnic charge is triggered, as in Taser electric shock devices manufactured by the American by AXON.

There are also other means of initiation of propellant charges, for example, if the propellant charge is made in the form of a pre-compressed spring placed in an additional extraction channel in its rear part and acting on the pusher 17 when it is released, then said release can be performed by a pyrotechnic charge.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional design of a remote-acting electric shock device using the proposed cartridge (side view). DESHU 23 contains a working part 24, made in the form of a flat pistol barrel, and a handle 25. The DESHU also contains a cartridge extraction organ 26, a trigger 27 protected by a bracket 28, and a cartridge extraction initiation circuit 29. The main components of a DESHU (power supply, shaper high voltage current pulses and control unit) in FIG. 5 are not shown, since they are not involved in the description of the principle of operation of the proposed extraction mechanism. The cartridge 1 is installed in a shaft made in the working part 24 (Fig. 5a). In multi-charged DES, in particular in double-charged ones, two shafts are made in the working section. The extraction control 26 can be installed on the housing 23 in places accessible for ergonomic control with the finger of the same hand of the DESU operator, in which he holds the DESU, including inside or outside the said bracket 28, or structurally combined with the trigger 27 having two phase of the stroke, and in the first phase, the used cartridge is extracted, and in the second phase, the next cartridge is initiated. The extraction control body 26 interacts with the extraction initiation circuit 29. The extraction initiation circuit 29 interacts with the propellant charge 14 of the extraction channel 13 made in the cartridge 1, namely, it generates a high voltage current pulse (with high-voltage electric spark initiation of a pyrotechnic propellant charge), or an ohmic current pulse actions (with thermal initiation of a pyrotechnic propellant charge). The circuit 29 initiation of the propellant charge 14 can also be triggered not from the signal generated by the extraction control unit 26, but automatically, for example, after the expiration of the maximum exposure time period or when the impact of the DES on the target is turned off.

FIG. 6a shows an example of a conventional design of a two-charge electric shock device of remote action using the proposed cartridge (front view). Cartridges of the proposed design 1 and 30 are installed in two shafts 31 (Fig. 6b).

Fixation of the cartridge in the DES should ensure a stable position of the cartridge in the shaft of the DES in the event of external mechanical impacts on it, for example, when the DES is hit or dropped to the ground. The reliability of fixation is usually regulated in the technical specifications for a specific DES in the form of quantitative indicators of the resistance of the DES to external influencing factors (WWF).

The fixation of the cartridge in the DESHU can be performed using a latch placed on the cartridge body, which collapses, leans back or unclenches when the propellant charge of the extraction channel in the cartridge is triggered and the cartridge is sharply moved from the DSHU shaft (i.e., unlocking occurs automatically at the beginning of extraction). In this case, the energy properties of the propellant charge 14 must exceed the mentioned indicators of the resistance of the DESHU to VVF in the part of the said latch. The energy properties of a pyrotechnic (or pneumatic) propellant charge are understood as the characteristics of its working substance, which, when ignited (or punctured by a compressed gas cylinder), create a gas cloud of such a high pressure, which ensures overcoming the mechanical strength of the latch and reliable extraction (ejection) of the cartridge from the DES.

Fixation of the cartridge in the DESHU can be, for example, performed using a pair of magnet-metal plate, with one of the elements of the pair installed in the cartridge, and the other in the DESHU shaft. The energetic properties of the propellant charge 14 allow, during extraction, to break the magnetic bond of the elements of the pair, i.e. unlock the cartridge, and push it out of the DESHU shaft.

The energetic properties of the propellant charge 14 can ensure complete extraction of the cartridge from the DESU at a distance of at least several centimeters.

DESHU system - cartridge works as follows.

In the DEShU, for example, two cartridges made according to the proposed design are charged and fixed. If it is necessary to use it, the operator of the DESHU removes it from the safety catch (not shown in Fig. 5), aims at the target and fires a shot. The cartridge is triggered, the projectiles to be thrown fly out of it and fly towards the target. Further, two main scenarios are possible:

(a) the target is hit,

(b) there was a miss.

In the first scenario, the DESHU operator can turn off the DESHU, performing the necessary actions in relation to the target (arrest, detention with the use of restraints, etc.) or redirect his actions to the second target, which is equivalent to the second scenario in terms of the techniques performed.

In the second scenario, the DESHU operator extracts the first cartridge, directs the DESHU to the target (again at the first or the second) and fires a shot with the second cartridge. At the same time, due to the use of the proposed extraction method and the device for its implementation (a cartridge with an internal extraction mechanism), the unlocking and extraction of the first cartridge is performed quickly and reliably, ensuring the possibility of interaction with the first or second target before the offender (or an aggressive animal) approaches to the DESHU operator and will be able to engage with him or, conversely, try to escape.

Thus, the main essence of the present invention is the use of an inexpensive and reliable extraction mechanism located directly in the extractable cartridge, controlled by the DES. The use of essentially the same elements in the extraction channel as in the propelling channels of the cartridge (propellant charge, propellant charge cover, etc.), allows, among other things, to significantly increase the unification factor in the manufacture of the device, and to reduce the total cost of the DESU system - cartridge due to the refusal to use complex and expensive mechanical extraction units in the DES.

Implementation of the invention

The proposed method, cartridge and DESHU are implemented in the form of a prototype with the following characteristics:

DESHU is made in the form of a double-charger in the form factor of a pistol with dimensions not exceeding 190 × 115 × 42 mm, with a trigger made in the form of a trigger protected by a bracket, an extraction control element located on the side surface of the working part above the trigger, made in the form of a switch with the thumb of the DESHU operator moving from top to bottom (in the version for right-handed people - on the left side of the DESHU case, in the version for left-handed people - on its right side), with two shafts for placing cartridges located in the front of the device. DEShU is equipped with a laser designator (LTSU). The DESHU is also equipped with a fuse that disconnects the power supply of the DESHU from all of its electronic components. DESHU is also equipped with a mode switch providing either contact or remote operation of the device.

The cartridge has a two-wire circuit with two throwing channels and two probes in them, two stacks of flexible electrical conductors placed in cavities made in the cartridge body, the rectangular body of which has overall dimensions not exceeding 60 × 42 × 15 mm, in the cartridge along its central the longitudinal axis contains an extraction channel with low-voltage (ohmic, i.e. thermal) initiation. The fixation of the cartridge in the shaft is ensured by using a latch made in the form of a magnet-metal plate pair, with the plate installed in the cartridge, and the magnet in the DESH shaft, thus, the magnet is used multiple times, and the plate is used once.

The device provides a contact action mode (when the DEShU acts on the target directly), including with cartridges loaded into the DESHU.

As a heating element of the propellant charge of the extraction channel, a miniature thin metal (copper) plate is used, interacting with the propellant charge, the ends of which are made in the form of conductors connected to electrical contacts on the surface of the rear end of the cartridge, electrically interacting with the corresponding outputs of the extraction initiation circuit located at the bottom each shaft opposite the mentioned electrical contacts of the cartridge extraction channel.

The extraction initiation circuit generates current pulses with an amplitude sufficient for rapid volumetric ignition of the propellant charge working substance.

Complete extraction of the cartridge is carried out at a distance of 5 ... 8 cm from the front section of the DES.

The DESHU uses an algorithm of work, which implies the following stages:

Loading. Charging is always carried out with the DSHU turned off. Both cartridges are loaded into the corresponding wells of the DESHU and are automatically fixed in them using a magnetic latch. This provides an electrical (not necessarily galvanic) contact between the electrical contacts of the propelling channels and the corresponding output high-voltage electrodes of the DESU and an electrical (galvanic) contact between the electrical contacts of the extraction channel, electrically interacting with the corresponding outputs of the extraction initiation circuitry. It is allowed to load only one cartridge into the DESHU. If the cartridges in the DES are not charged, the device can only operate in a contact mode.

Preparation of DESHU for work. The DESHU is turned on by removing it from the fuse. In this case, the supply voltage is supplied to the DEShU nodes and the LCC is turned on. The fact of correct loading and fixing of the cartridges is confirmed by the switching on of the corresponding sound and / or light indicator (s), as well as by sending the corresponding signals to the extraction initiation circuitry to confirm the loading of the cartridges (or signals of the absence of cartridges in the mines of the DESU).

Aiming and first shot. Aiming is done by aiming the DEShU at the target, while the laser target (usually the laser target is a red or green spot on the target's body or clothing) indicates the aiming point. The shot is provided by the forefinger of the operator's hand, holding the DES, by pressing the trigger. The trigger interacts with the button for turning on the circuit for initiating the propellant charges of the cartridge, which ensures the departure of the probes of the cartridge towards the target, and the circuit for generating output pulses of high voltage current. The first shot is always fired from the cartridge located on the right, if you look at the DESHU from the side of its front ("muzzle") cut. If it is absent (the cartridge is not pre-loaded into the DESHU mine), aiming and firing are performed in the same way, but using the second cartridge.

Output pulses of high voltage current are also fed to the combat electrodes of the DES, protruding from its muzzle to ensure the contact mode of the operation of the DES, if the cartridges are not loaded into the DES.

Impact. After the probes of the first cartridge hit the target, the target is exposed to bursts of high voltage current pulses generated by the DES. The actual exposure time is usually 1 ... 1.5 s (this is quite enough for immobilizing the target), but cannot exceed 3 s in accordance with Russian legislation, after this period of time, the DESU automatically turns off the formation of high voltage current pulses.

In the event of a miss (if at least one of the probes does not hit the target, or hits, but does not fix on it) or an ineffective shot (when the cartridge probes hit the target, but there is no effective effect of the DES on the target, for example, if one of the probes does not provide the necessary electrical contact with the target), it is necessary to fire a second shot at the same or another target, for this it is necessary to extract the first cartridge from the DSHU shaft (the device does not provide for the simultaneous action of two cartridges on one or two targets).

Extraction of the first cartridge. To extract the first cartridge, if it is used, the DESH operator with his thumb holding the DESH works in the "top-down" direction on the extraction control, which ensures the activation of the extraction initiation circuit. The transfer of current pulses from the extraction initiation circuit to the propellant charge of the extraction channel ensures the ignition of the propellant charge and the extraction of the cartridge from the DES, as described in the present invention.

The algorithm of this DESU also provides for the automatic extraction mode of the cartridge if the target is exposed to the target within the maximum allowable exposure time (3 s) immediately after the end of the exposure.

Aiming and second shot. Aiming is done by aiming the DSHU at the target, the second shot is always fired from the cartridge located on the left, if you look at the DSHU from the side of its front ("muzzle") cut (left cartridge). If the first (right) cartridge was not loaded into the DESHU mine, then the next shot is possible only after the DESHU is reloaded.

Impact of the second cartridge. After the probes of the second cartridge hit the target, the target is exposed to bursts of high-voltage current pulses formed by the corresponding DESU circuit. The exposure time is usually 1 ... 1.5 s, but cannot exceed 3 s in accordance with Russian legislation.

In the event of a miss or an ineffective second shot (see above), it is necessary to extract the second cartridge and reload the DES (with the DSHU turned off, i.e. set to safety).

Extraction of the second cartridge. To extract the second cartridge, if it is used, the operator of the DES with his thumb holding the DES, acts in the direction "top-down" on the extraction control, which ensures the activation of the extraction initiation circuit. The transfer of current pulses from the extraction initiation circuit to the propellant charge of the extraction channel ensures the ignition of the propellant charge and the extraction of the cartridge from the DES, as described in the present invention. The algorithm of this DESU also provides for the automatic extraction mode of the cartridge if the target is exposed to the target within the maximum allowable exposure time (3 s) immediately after the end of the exposure.

Turn off the DESHU. The DSHU is turned off by putting it on the fuse. In this case, the power source is disconnected from the electronic components of the device and the production of any active actions (with the exception of charging cartridges) by the DShU operator is impossible.

Recharging the DESHU. It is carried out in the same way as charging with the DSHU off. The device also provides the ability to manually remove the cartridge (cartridges), if this technique is necessary or convenient for the DSHU operator in a particular situation: the operator removes the cartridge from the shaft, holding it by special spring-loaded protrusions made on the front wall of the cartridge breaking the magnetic bond in the magnetic latch by muscular force pulling the cartridge out of the shaft.

The algorithm of operation and the technical means of the DESU provides a technical possibility for the cartridge initiation circuit to generate an extraction signal for the second (left) cartridge in the case when the first (right) cartridge is not loaded into the DSHU shaft.

The algorithm of operation and technical means of the DESU also provides for the possibility of manual selection of the extracted cartridge (including, if necessary, the unused one).

The DESHU operator has the ability to switch the DESHU operation mode from remote to contact and vice versa by pressing the corresponding mode switch with the finger of the hand holding the DESHU. At the same time, even if cartridges are installed in the DES, it is possible to implement the contact mode by supplying high voltage current pulses only to the combat electrodes of the DES without using the cartridges. In the absence of cartridges in the mines of the DESHU, the contact mode is set automatically.

Thus, the implemented prototype embodies the main provisions of the invention.
