Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device allowing the opening of a launching shoe used for firing a sub-calibrated projectile of the arrow type using a striped tube or not.
- the arrow munitions by their particularly high performances, prove to be remarkably effective in attacking armored targets such as battle tanks. Their performance is the consequence of their very high speed, their relatively large mass conferred by the use of high density materials, and their low impact surface. These various factors make it possible to obtain a very high kinetic energy and a surface energy at impact necessary for the perforation of modern armorings.
- the precision of the shooting depends essentially on the ballistic qualities of the projectile, and in particular on the conditions in which the launching shoe-arrow separation takes place.
- Two types of devices are currently used for launching arrow projectiles.
- the most conventional device consists in the use of a launching shoe made up of several elements enclosing the arrow, held by one or two belts in contact with the barrel of the weapon.
- the front part of this type of shoe has a flared surface so that the elements of the shoe can move apart under the effect of the aerodynamic forces generated by the resistance of the air at the outlet of the launch tube.
- the launching shoe opens from front to rear by pressing on the arrow, which can be detrimental to the accuracy of the shooting taking into account that the elements of the shoe may meet the tail of the arrow, per thus turbulating the desired trajectory and inducing shooting dispersions.
- Another problem stems from the fact that the separation of the elements of the hoof is never done simultaneously which creates a transverse impulse on the arrow and affects the accuracy of the shot.
- French patent 2,445,509 eliminates part of the problems encountered previously.
- it is a pusher shoe made of high-strength alloy.
- mechanical, equipped with a belt for sealing against the propulsion gases of the barrel the central part of the face adjacent to the projectile is provided with a steel disc in contact with the tail of the projectile and the periphery of which comprises yokes in which a set of radially deployable jaws is articulated.
- These jaws consist of rigid blades and are on the one hand in abutment with the launching tube and on the other hand maintain the body of the boom axially. There is also provision for locking these blades for part of the tail of the boom.
- a major drawback of this type of mechanism lies in its complexity making it difficult to manufacture in large series and inducing high cost prices.
- the presence of yokes, joints and moving parts is hardly compatible with the precision required, especially given the very significant accelerations implemented during the interior ballistics phase.
- the aim of the present invention is a method and a launching device having the advantages of conventional launching shoes, but making it possible to obtain very low shooting dispersions, by avoiding on the one hand the support of the elements of the shoe on the deflection during the separation phase and on the other hand the possible shocks of these same elements with the tail, ensuring the simultaneity of the separation of the elements with the sub-projectile and making it possible to use the principle of launching "pushed" or "towed pushed".
- the present invention therefore consists of a launch shoe opening method characterized in that the opening is carried out in two main stages: a first consisting in the opening of the rear part of the shoe by spacing the elements of the shoe then that the front part is always locked and a second step consisting in opening the front part after total unlocking of the elements.
- the opening of the rear part of the hoof is accompanied by the separation of the arrow from the front part of the hoof.
- the projectile launch shoe according to the invention and used for implementing the method consists of a tubular part enclosing the arrow, a first so-called thrust plate located in the rear vicinity of the tubular part and subjected to the pressure of the propellant gases and of a second so-called guide plate located in the front vicinity of the tubular part, it comprises connecting means between the elements, these means being arranged, on the one hand on the front part of the shoe and on the other hand on the rear part, the connecting means of the rear part being broken before the connecting means of the front part so that the shoe opens from the rear towards the front.
- the front connection means of the shoe are broken under the effect of the opening of the rear part of the shoe.
- the connecting means of the rear part are constituted by a belt enclosing the thrust plate.
- the connecting means of the front part of the shoe consist of a ring arranged on the guide plate.
- the points of rotation of the elements are located at the front of the front end of the tubular part enclosing the arrow and at the front of the ring constituting the locking means of the front part of the shoe.
- the front ring has breaking initiators arranged opposite the interfaces of the elements of the shoe.
- FIG 1 shows a thin line, the arrow 1 provided with its tail stabilizer 2 at the exit of the launch tube 3.
- the sabot 4 comprises three elements 4a, 4b and 4c in the contact with the arrow by the through a thread 5 allowing the transmission of propulsion forces.
- the shoe 4 is composed on the one hand of a thrust plate 6 subjected to the pressure of the propellant gases and, on the other hand of a guide plate 7 used for guiding the projectile in the launching tube.
- the plates 6 and 7 are secured by means of a tubular part 8 extending behind the push plate 6 by the part 8a and at the level of the guide plate by the part 8b.
- the seal between the launch tube and the shoe itself is produced by a sealing belt 9 arranged in a circular groove 10 produced on the thrust plate.
- this belt also has the function of ensuring cohesion and rear locking of the elements of the shoe.
- a ring 11 is placed in a circular groove 12 formed inside the guide plate 7; it ensures the maintenance and cohesion of the front part of the hoof elements.
- a clearance 13 has been machined concentrically with the connecting thread 5. This clearance 13 provides a clearance between the projectile and the launch pad, clearance whose function will be explained later.
- the method of opening the shoe of this projectile is as follows.
- the propellant gases represented by the arrows 14 exert pressure on the rear part of the elements of the shoe.
- This pressure has the effect of requesting the rear opening of the elements of the shoe, while the front part of the latter is always locked by the ring 11.
- the sealing belt 9 is broken and allows the opening from the rear.
- the centrifugal forces combine with the effects of the pressure of the propellant gases to request the opening of the shoe from the rear and to break the locking achieved by the belt 9.
- the points of rotation 16 are located in front of the front end of the tubular part 8b. This separation is also favored by the presence of the clearance 13 machined inside the tubular part 8b.
- Figure 4 we see the separation 17 of the shoe and the arrow during the rear opening phase of the shoe.
