Description

The invention relates to a carrier device for a modular smoke throwing body and a modular smoke throwing body with such a carrier device.

From the DE 10 2006 008 309 A1 is a smoke projectile with a pyrotechnic active charge to produce an emitting in the infrared and visually impermeable mist known. The pyrotechnic active charge is formed by a modularly structured smoke body, which has two different active bodies, wherein the one active body causes a temporally fast fog structure and the other active body has a long burning time, so that a fast fog assembly is paired with a long burning time is achieved.

Such smoke projectiles are intended to form a fog curtain to protect vehicles or troops against detection, detection and target tracking. Usually, smoke projectiles are carried on an armored vehicle in a plurality of ejector tubes and ejected as needed by igniting a propellant charge in a trajectory defined by the angular setting of the ejector tube. After leaving the ejector tube, the pyrotechnic active charge of the smoke throwing body is disassembled and ignited by initiating the bursting charge.

Conventional smoke projectiles are usually designed for each specific nebulization scenarios, such. As fast fogging, long-lasting fogging, fogging with emission in the infrared range, etc. These different fogging scenarios require the use of different smoke throwing bodies, which differ in structure and configuration from each other. Furthermore, there are several different Nebelwurfanlagen for the firing of a smoke throw usually so that it often comes to compatibility problems between abzufeuernem smoke projectile and to be used Nebelwurfanlage.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a way to configure smoke projectiles for a variety of fogging scenarios, which are also compatible with different smoke throwing equipment at the same time.

The present object is achieved by a carrier device for a modular smoke throwing body according to claim 1 and by a modular smoke throwing body with such a carrier device. Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are given in the subclaims.

In particular, to solve the above object, a support device for a modular smoke grenade is provided, wherein the carrier device comprises a housing for receiving a Nebelwirkmasse, wherein the housing in addition to at least one wall for embracing the Nebelwirkmasse another wall for coupling a to a Nebelwurfkörperwurfeinrichtung and / or to the Has Nebelwirkmasse adapted bottom part. Thereby, the smoke throwing body can be designed in such a modular manner that it can contain both different fogging sets, as well as easily adapted to different fog throwing devices of different vehicles. Any combination of active mass and caliber of the fog throwing device (fog center throwing device) is possible.

The at least one wall for enclosing the mist active mass preferably has a cylinder jacket-shaped wall, which is supplemented by the further wall for coupling the bottom part to form a cup-shaped housing. In this case, the further wall for coupling the bottom part preferably has a coupling device for the reversible coupling of the bottom part. As a result, a variety of bottom parts can be screwed to the housing in an advantageous manner. These floor parts may include, for example, the necessary connections for igniting the squib. But it is also possible that at least parts of the propellant charge of the smoke throwing body are housed in the bottom parts. Furthermore, by varying their diameter, the floor parts can be used to adapt the smoke throwing body to different calibers of different fog throwing devices.

In particular, a screw thread or a plug connector offer themselves as a coupling device. Preferably, the coupling device is set up to ensure an ignition coupling between the bottom part and mist active mass when the bottom part is coupled and the mist effective mass is received in the housing.

In addition to the already described embodiments of the carrier device according to the invention, the present invention also comprises a modular smoke-throwing body with such a carrier device. In this case, the modular smoke-impact body comprises a fog-effective mass accommodated in the housing and a base part coupled to the further wall. In the housing various types of Nebelwirkmassen can be integrated, for example, two-stage Nebelwirkmassen, Nebelwirkmassen that are distributed detonatively, and Nebelwirkmassen lower height.

Preferably, the mist active mass has a squib on its side facing the further wall, after the ignition of which the reaction of the mist active mass is initiated.

Further, it is advantageous if the bottom part is set up at its coupling point to the coupling device to ensure an electrical connection of ignition trigger and squib. Thus, a functional coupling between the bottom part and Nebelwirkmasse be realized by the support device. Preferably, the bottom part is set up to ensure a secure mechanical connection between the mist throwing body and the fog throwing device. As a result, a particularly effective acceleration effect of the smoke throwing body can be achieved.

According to a further embodiment of the present invention, when using a Nebelwirkmasse with a lower height than the height of the housing, an inert filler to compensate for the difference in height to bring into the housing. As a result, it can be ensured that the mist-effect mass is not over-stressed during the strong acceleration forces that occur. In a request for a Nebelwirkmasse with a higher height, it is advantageous if the wall for embracing the Nebelwirkmasse is adjustable in height to the height of the Nebelwirkmasse.

In the appended figure, the concept of the present invention is shown diagrammatically.

The figure shows in the middle of the carrier device for a modular smoke throwing body. The carrier device has a housing 1 for receiving a mist effect mass 10.1 . 10.2 on. The housing 1 includes a wall 1a for embracing the fogging mass 10.1 . 10.2 as well as another wall 1b for coupling one to a fog throwing device and / or to the fogging mass 10.1 . 10.2 adapted bottom part 20.1 . 20.2 on.

The wall 1a for embracing the fogging mass 10.1 . 10.2 is cylindrical-shaped and is formed by the further wall 1b for coupling the bottom part 20.1 . 20.2 to a cup-shaped housing 1 added. The further wall 1b has a coupling device 2 for reversible coupling of the bottom part 20.1 . 20.2 on. The two arrows in the upper part of the figure symbolize that different Nebelwirkmassen 10.1 . 10.2 in the cup-shaped housing 1 can be introduced. Analogously symbolize the two arrows in the lower part of the figure the fact that the coupling device 2 different soil parts 20.1 . 20.2 with their respective interface 21 to the housing 1 can be coupled. These are the floor parts 20.1 . 20.2 at their interface 21 to the coupling device 2 set up, an electrical connection of ignition and squib 11 the respective fog effective mass 10.1 . 10.2 to ensure.

The modular smoke projectile according to the invention is thus designed like a box, so that it has both different fogging masses 10.1 . 10.2 can be easily adapted to different fog throwing devices of different vehicles. Any combination of active mass and caliber of the fog throwing device is possible. The advantage of the present invention lies in the ease with which the carrier device can be filled by various fogging compounds 10.1 . 10.2 and in the simple adaptation of different parts of the floor 20.1 . 20.2 depending on the vehicle requirement or fog throwing device. This creates a modular system that can be adapted to different requirements.
