Fig. 1 is a kind of main composition profile partly that is used for the projectile of stacked projectile weapon.This projectile comprises payload container 10, propellant charges 11 and the projectile tail assembly 12 such as bullet.Detonator 13 can ignite bullet and detonator 14 can be lighted propellant.Projectile be suitable for can be in the cylinder of this weapon from head to the tail closed assembly several identical projectiles.Stem 15 has the roughly outer surface 20 of convex, and its shape is corresponding to the inner surface 21 of the roughly spill of projectile tail assembly 12.The surface of stem also comprises groove 16, and the projectile tail assembly comprises one group of intermediate plate 30, and therefore, the stem of each back projectile can cooperate the afterbody of corresponding front projectile in the stack of projectiles.
Because the projectile among Fig. 1 is to be used in the stack of projectiles, propellant must seal and isolate from the gas of lighting that is full of the weapon cylinder after each projectile igniting.In this example, propellant is sealed in the housing 17, and housing 17 can tolerate the gas of lighting of other projectile generation.Housing 17 typically is included in the part that will outwards break under the elevated pressures that produces when propellant 11 is lighted.Except that such housing system, can adopt various other systems, seal such as the wedge shape part.
Among Fig. 1, by the induction system that inductor 18 and signal detector 19 are arranged the projectile igniting is launched from weapon, wherein the corresponding inductor in inductor 18 and the cylinder interacts, and signal detector 19 receives output and definite projectile of inductors 18 and whether needs igniting.Signal detector 19 is used code programming typically, and its signal that comprises that code of receiving self-inductor 18 is lighted propellant with regard to triggering detonator 14.Signal detector also can make the bullet preparation that comes into action by detonator 13.Otherwise it is idle that signal detector still keeps.Such ignition system is known, thereby need not to describe in detail.Various other electricity or machinery ignition system also can be used for stacked projectile weapon.
Fig. 2 is the outside drawing of the projectile of Fig. 1.In this example, payload container 10 constitutes the stem 15 of projectiles, and is represented as and is connected in projectile tail assembly 12.In the time of in projectile is stacked in cylinder, the outer surface 20 of stem 15 is generally surrounded by the skirt section 22 of the projectile tail assembly 12 of front projectile (if there is).Projectile tail assembly 12 also comprises four intermediate plates 30, and they can cooperate the groove 16 in the stem of the back projectile in the stack of projectiles.Each stem also has driving-belt 23 usually, and these driving-belt 23 restriction gases flow forward along cylinder when projectile is lighted a fire.There are many options to can be used for stack of projectiles is clamped together.
Fig. 3 a, b, c express the intermediate plate 30 relevant with the each several part of projectile tail assembly 12.Each intermediate plate is to use the bigger flexible silver 32 on relative stiffness silver 31 with springiness energy and the outer surface that can cover projectile to form.These two silvers are used suitable metal typically, and tighten together and be anchored on projectile with suitable means such as binding agent, welding or screw.Spring silver 31 is configured as three parts, promptly be anchored on the projectile tail assembly of projectile main part 33, extend out and from the arm 34 of the outside deviation of projectile and on the arm and the filling process, cooperate the pin 35 of back projectile from main part.Pin can be multiple structure, forms such as the end bending by spring silver 31.Intermediate plate 30 is fastened on 36 li of grooves on the projectile tail assembly 12, and the outer surface of cover strip is flushed with the outer surface of projectile, and makes the pin of rigidity silver aim at hole 37 on the projectile tail assembly.Arm 34 will be sold 35 and remain on the deployed position of leaving projectile and the top that is in hole 37.
Fig. 4 expresses the projectile accommodation tube, and it constitutes the part of the cylinder of stacked projectile weapon.Accommodation tube comprises pipe 40, and a series of ring sensors 41 are arranged on the outer surface of pipe, and these inductors can interact with the inductor 19 on the corresponding projectile when weapon shoots.The breech 42 of pipe one end holds the projectile that is loaded one by one by the operator in shooting process.Breech presents the import of tubulose, the sloping portion 43 of import can and intermediate plate 30 interact and help engagement process between each projectile in succession, this will be described hereinafter.If desired, can will there be the projectile of igniting to draw off by breech 42 yet.The other end of pipe 40 typically extends to or is engaged in another pipe and forms the cylinder of the total length of this weapon.Cylinder can adopt various structures, also can adopt various ignition mechanisms.
Fig. 5 a, b express and how the accommodation tube of Fig. 4 can be prolonged a segment length 50 or connect another pipe 51 and form the cylinder of stacked projectile transmitter.Will be understood that each other parts that do not comprise transmitter here, such as aiming and triggering system, but those skilled in the art that understand easily.
Fig. 6 a, b express two projectile orders how head and the tail cooperate when the operator shoots in accommodation tube.The projectile tail assembly 12 of first projectile on the right is represented as in the breech 42 that is in accommodation tube basically.The stem 15 of second projectile on the left side is represented as in the import department of breech and contacts the projectile tail assembly of first projectile.The operator is pushing away second projectile, and second projectile forces first projectile further to enter accommodation tube.Among Fig. 6 a, each intermediate plate 30 that the projectile tail assembly of first projectile is 12 li adjoins the sloping portion of breech and still is in their open configuration.Among Fig. 6 b, two projectiles all further enter accommodation tube.At this moment each intermediate plate 30 is subjected to the sloping portion deflection of breech and draws in, causes respectively to sell 35 and all cooperate marmon clamp film trap 16.The operator further pushes away the origin-location that will make second projectile enter breech and occupy first projectile forward.On the contrary, in unloading the bullet process, the operator can pull out second projectile from breech, and this will be withdrawn into first projectile in the breech.Each intermediate plate 30 is flexibly got back to their initial deployed position, so just projectile can be drawn off, and can load projectile in the same way again.
How Fig. 7 a, b express after a plurality of projectiles being loaded accommodation tube into the order with stopper 70 sealing breech 42.The projectile tail assembly 12 of last projectile in the stack of projectiles is represented as and is in 42 li of breech basically.Stopper has middle body 71, and its shape is similar on the stem 15 of projectile and its marmon clamp film trap 73.Stopper also has outer cylinder part 72, and it can cooperate the outside of breech.The design of stopper can be various.The operator is plunger forward, and it just forces last projectile further to enter accommodation tube.Among Fig. 7 a, stopper does not contact projectile or breech as yet.Each intermediate plate 30 that the projectile tail assembly of this projectile is 12 li adjoins the sloping portion of breech and still is in open configuration.Among Fig. 7 b, the middle body 71 of stopper has contacted projectile tail assembly 12 and outer cylinder part 72 has contacted breech.Among Fig. 7 c, the middle body of projectile and stopper has all entered breech.At this moment each intermediate plate 30 is drawn in by the sloping portion of breech, and consequently respectively selling 35 all cooperates marmon clamp film trap 73.The outer cylinder part 72 of stopper has cooperated the outside of breech.At this moment this weapon can be lighted a fire.On the contrary, in unloading the bullet process, can be earlier stopper be broken away from, then projectile is pulled out breech backward and it is taken out from accommodation tube.
Fig. 8 a, b, c express projectile respectively and are in unloading, filling and fired state.Each intermediate plate 30 in the projectile tail assembly all opens because of separately spring silver 34, be subjected to again accommodation tube the thorax chamber effect and draw in, and be deformed stretching then and break away from the back projectile.Among Fig. 8 a, the pin 35 of each intermediate plate is stretching and aim at arm 34 by the resistance of corresponding clip groove 16 in igniting action.
Fig. 9 a, b, c, d express accommodation tube 90 is advanced the process that shoots of three projectiles 91,92,93 by closed assembly order.Each projectile is loaded singly according to Fig. 6 a, b and is formed folded post.Accommodation tube is sealed with stopper 94 according to Fig. 7 a, b, c then.
Figure 10 a, b, c express the several possible scheme of closed assembly intermediate plate.Among Figure 10 a, intermediate plate 100 has mat 101, its on thickness corresponding to driving-belt 102.Intermediate plate contacts the thorax chamber of accommodation tube thus and correctly keeps sealing and do not allow ignition gas to flow to or flow out the projectile tail assembly after projectile is loaded.Among Figure 10 b, the cover strip 104 of intermediate plate is provided with bead 105, its extension and fully around following spring silver.Intermediate plate can more effectively seal the outer surface of projectile so as to draw in going in the groove 106, flow thereby further reduce any of ignition gas.Among Figure 10 c, cover strip 107 comprises ledge 108, and it can interact with the import of breech.This can make resistance increase a magnitude when the operator loads projectile into accommodation tube.
Figure 11 a, b express the replacement clamping system of the cooperation between each projectile that is used for stack of projectiles.Among Figure 11 a, projectile has projectile tail assembly 110 and stem 111.There is continuous lip limit 113 in the skirt section 112 of projectile tail assembly, rather than one group of discontinuous intermediate plate 30.Lip limit 113 can cooperate the marmon clamp film trap 114 on the stem of back projectile.Figure 11 b expresses a pair of this projectile that is stacked in the accommodation tube.The breech stopper that is used for this accommodation tube has also been done corresponding modification.
Figure 12 expresses security system, and it can be only just makes the projectile preparation that comes into action after each projectile is loaded into accommodation tube and cooperates another projectile or cooperate the breech stopper.In this example, the projectile tail assembly 120 of front projectile forms circuit (hatched part is arranged) with the stem of back projectile 121.Each intermediate plate 122 of projectile tail assembly draws in and cooperation marmon clamp film trap 123.The end of the spring silver 124 of each intermediate plate and the signal detector 125 of front projectile and form with the stem of back projectile electrically contacts.According to the number of intermediate plate, form the circuit of corresponding number between every pair of adjacent two projectile.Inductor 126 and the inductor on the accommodation tube 127 on the projectile interact.But if the circuit of the stem of each intermediate plate by that particular projectile and next projectile is incomplete, signal detector just can not be lighted a fire to projectile.
Figure 13 expresses the effect of a kind of wedge envelope, this wedge envelope is set can reduces and light gas flowing around projectile in the stack of projectiles.Can compress back projectile 131 and 132 slightly by the power along accommodation tube 130 (seeing arrow) that the igniting of front projectile causes.This forces the projectile tail assembly of first projectile 131 of back to be radially expanded stem above second projectile 132 of back again, contacts with the tightr of thorax chamber of accommodation tube thereby form.This contact is extended and can be reduced or stop gas to pass through around the whole circumference in thorax chamber.The effect of this wedge envelope is preferably temporary transient and reversible, and therefore, if necessary, after several projectiles were in front lighted a fire, each projectile of back can be got back to their original states in cylinder and can be drawn off.The projectile tail assembly can be with having suitable flexible metal or synthetic material manufacturing.
Figure 14 a, 14b, 14c express a kind of clamping action of replacement, and it can be used in the process that shoots in cylinder and to form stack of projectiles or be used for outwards unloading bullet from cylinder.Figure 14 a expresses and has one group of projectile 140 that is in the intermediate plate 141 of open configuration.Each intermediate plate has arm 142, and this arm has the hand piece 143 of the groove 144 on the stem that can cooperate the back projectile.Movable shroud ring 145 on the afterbody of projectile is seated in a position before each intermediate plate.Figure 14 b expresses this shroud ring and has moved to the afterbody of projectile, forces each arm inwardly to reach clamped position.This shroud ring can be moved with the filling projectile, and perhaps if form stack of projectiles in the outside of cylinder, available hand moves this shroud ring.Figure 14 c expresses this shroud ring and is in the rearmost position that wraps on the afterbody, and each arm has become the body and each intermediate plate that are parallel to projectile and has been in the curling position.The back projectile does not show.
Figure 15 a, 15b, 15c, 15d express the another kind of clamping action of replacing.Expressed typical angle for example.These several figure present a kind of intermediate plate that can advantageously utilize two rest potential energy states of clip material.Figure 15 c expresses and be in the intermediate plate that open configuration is a primary importance on projectile, and in this position, intermediate plate is to be in rest potential energy states.In this position, each intermediate plate is in rest geometry.Figure 15 b expresses, because stretching and compression stress in the material, intermediate plate is in the maximum potential state.At intermediate plate because it is when being inserted into breech or being forced to reach this position in the outside of accommodation tube with hand owing to it, material will produce power, this power can make the arm of intermediate plate turn back to its complete open rest potential energy states shown in Figure 15 c, or turns back to the rest potential energy states of drawing in fully shown in Figure 15 a.Figure 15 a expresses the second place of intermediate plate, and in this position, each intermediate plate is in the rest potential energy states of drawing in fully.Adopt the intermediate plate of this design, promptly it comprises the geometry of two rest potential energy states and the maximum potential state between two rest potential energy states, and intermediate plate can be activated when projectile is injected cylinder, or activated during with the hand intermediate plate in the cylinder outside.In case each projectile has been used above-mentioned arbitrary means and has clipped together, each intermediate plate just will be to be in rest potential energy states and their clamped condition can not open, and run through longitudinally that power forces them to open unless apply between each projectile.
Figure 16 a, 16b, 16c, 16d express the clamping action of another replacement, and itself and above-mentioned those have many similarities.Figure 16 a expresses annular arm 161, and arm has hand piece, and hand piece has thumb spare 162 and fingers 163.Figure 16 b is in the not schematic end view of the compliant tail portions 164 of the projectile of clamped state.Four thumb spares 162 and four fingers are stretched out from annular arm 161.These thumb spares and fingers form single member at the section part of four " not too crooked " of the circle that centers on the projectile skirt section.Figure 16 c expresses afterbody 164 and is in clamped state, and each thumb spare 162 is maintained in the cannelure on the stem of back projectile (not shown).Among Figure 16 b, afterbody is roughly tetragonal, enters and occupies at the inclination approach section of breech with the stem that allows the back projectile and get the position ready, so that pushed accommodation tube by the stem of next projectile and make the stem of this next one projectile cooperate four thumb spares subsequently.Among Figure 16 c, afterbody has been forced into accommodation tube and has been matched with the thorax chamber of cylinder by the stem crimp of back projectile for roughly round shape.Figure 16 d expresses the thorax chamber of cylinder 165 and the relation of each fingers and thumb spare.
Figure 17 a, 17b express the clamping action of another replacement.The intermediate plate 151 that several flexibilities are arranged on the afterbody 155 of projectile 170.Each intermediate plate for example can have arm and hand structure as described above.Among Figure 17 a, projectile is not clamped, and each intermediate plate 151 outwards scatters and separated by each triangular notch 152 from afterbody.Among Figure 17 b, this projectile is clamped to back projectile (not shown), and each intermediate plate has cooperated the stem of back projectile.Because the inwardly stem bending of projectile rearwards of each intermediate plate, each triangular notch are closed.In fight, each intermediate plate recovers not clamp orientation and can provide small amount of drag as empennage or similar stabilizer.
Figure 18 a, 18b express another clamping scheme.The afterbody 181 of projectile 180 comprises a series of spring-loaded intermediate plates 182.Each intermediate plate has the pin 183 of the 184 li slips in hole that can be on afterbody.Each pin is telescopic in its arm separately, each matching slot on afterbody is perhaps arranged, i.e. the part in hole 184 separately.Each intermediate plate that Figure 18 a expresses projectile is in the state of stretching out, and is forced to retreat on afterbody, stretches out and respectively sell 183.This shows the projectile after clamping, and promptly projectile is clamped into stack of projectiles with hand operated in the accommodation tube outside, or by accommodation tube forms stack of projectiles by loading into singly in the mode that is similar to the various embodiments described above.Figure 18 b expresses projectile and the state of intermediate plate before clamping process.Identical with each embodiment of front, this intermediate plate abuts against on the major diameter of projectile, makes that each intermediate plate cooperates the tilting section of breech and can slide backward in projectile when projectile is inserted into accommodation tube.Along with each intermediate plate slip backward in projectile during insertion, springs material or flexible pin are moved into the clip cooperation position and cooperate the stem of back projectile.Like this, can make each projectile form the folded post of filling again by the action of each projectile being inserted singly accommodation tube, or make each projectile form folded post with each intermediate plate of hand operated in the outside of cylinder.By this way, the process that draws off projectile from accommodation tube, can not open intermediate plate singly, and each projectile still remains folded post in the outside of accommodation tube.
Figure 19 a, 19b express the projectile 190 of replacement, are used in the replacement stack of projectiles ignition system of outside propellant chamber.Figure 20 expresses the cylinder 200 of this ignition system, and is described such as WO 2000/62005 and WO2004/102108.The folded post that a plurality of projectiles 190 constitute is arranged to be adjacent to their propellant chamber 201 separately.In Figure 19 a, the afterbody of projectile comprises the propelling gas expansion space that is limited by each hole 191.Various clamping systems all can be included in this afterbody.There are several intermediate plates 192 end that Figure 19 b expresses this afterbody, and is described such such as reference Figure 15 a, 15b, 15c.Also can adopt various other clamping systems.
Figure 21 expresses the folded post that is made of a plurality of projectiles 210 that are sandwiched in together, and it does not insert cylinder as yet.Can adopt various clamping systems, such as the system among Figure 15 a, 15b, the 15c.In order for example to shoot or be easy to transportation more easily, the user can become such stack of projectiles with the projectile closed assembly at the scene.
