Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sprenggeschoß mit einer ein- oder mehrschichtigen Außenhülle nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an explosive projectile with a single or multi-layer outer shell according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Sprenggeschoß ist aus der DE-OS 25 18 044 bekannt. Obgleich bei diesem bekannten Geschoß die in der mehrschichtigen Außenhülle angeordneten Splitterkörper sich auch bis in den ogivalen vorderen Teil des Geschoßkörpers erstrecken, ist die damit erzielbare Splitterwirkung unmittelbar in Flugrichtung noch nicht zufriedenstellend. Die Splitterkörper werden vorwiegend in Radialrichtung beschleunigt, mit der Folge, daß in einem bestimmten Raumwinkelbereich unmittelbar vor dem Sprenggeschoß keine optimale Splitterwirkung zu erzielen ist. Der notwendigerweise in der Spitze des Sprenggeschosses angeordnete Zünder, der bei Aufschlag und/oder Annäherung das Sprenggeschoß zur Detonation bringt, verhindert bei dieser bekannten Lösung eine geeignetere Splitterwirkung.Such an explosive projectile is known from DE-OS 25 18 044. Although in this known projectile the splinter bodies arranged in the multilayered outer shell also extend into the ogival front part of the projectile body, the splinter effect which can be achieved thereby is not yet satisfactory in the direction of flight. The splinter bodies are accelerated predominantly in the radial direction, with the result that an optimal splinter effect cannot be achieved in a certain solid angle region immediately in front of the explosive projectile. The detonator, which is necessarily arranged in the tip of the explosive projectile and detonates the impact projectile upon impact and / or approach, prevents a more suitable splintering effect in this known solution.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Splitterwirkung, insbesondere unmittelbar in Flugrichtung des Sprenggeschosses, wesentlich zu vergrößern und gleichzeitig die Herstellung eines solchen Geschosses zu verbilligen.The invention has for its object to significantly increase the splintering effect, in particular directly in the direction of flight of the explosive projectile, and at the same time to reduce the cost of producing such a projectile.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1: ein Sprenggeschoß im Längsschnitt;
  • Fig. 2: eine schematische Teilansicht der die Splitterkörper enthaltenden Schicht;
  • Fig. 3: ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel.
It shows:
  • Fig. 1: an explosive projectile in longitudinal section;
  • 2: a schematic partial view of the layer containing the splinter body;
  • Fig. 3: another embodiment.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Sprenggeschoß 10 mit einer mehrschichtigen Außenhülle 19, 19', 19", bei der mindestens eine Schicht vorgeformte Splitterkörper 20 umfaßt. Kopfseitig ist ein Zünder 11 angeordnet, der auf an sich bekannte Weise als Aufschlagzünder und/oder Annäherungszünder bzw. Zeitzünder ausgebildet ist und der die vom Sprenggeschoß 10 mitgeführte Spengladung 12 zur Detonation bringt.1 shows an explosive projectile 10 with a multilayer outer casing 19, 19 ', 19 "in which at least one layer comprises preformed splinter bodies 20. An igniter 11 is arranged on the head side, which in a manner known per se serves as an impact detonator and / or proximity detonator or Time detonator is formed and which detonates the explosive charge 12 carried by the explosive projectile 10.

Der Zünder 11 umfaßt einen hinteren Teil 13, der von der Außenhülle 19 koaxial umschlossen in die Sprengladung 12 hineinragt. In diesem hinteren Teil 13 des Zünders 11 sind vorgeformte Splitterkörper 14 angeordnet, die z. B. Kugelgestalt haben und aus einem geeigneten Material, wie z. B. Stahl oder Schwermetall bestehen können. Besonders gut geeignet sind Wolfram und Wolframverbindungen.The detonator 11 comprises a rear part 13 which, coaxially enclosed by the outer casing 19, projects into the explosive charge 12. In this rear part 13 of the igniter 11 preformed splinter body 14 are arranged, the z. B. have spherical shape and made of a suitable material such. B. steel or heavy metal. Tungsten and tungsten compounds are particularly suitable.

Die Splitterkörper 14 sind vorzugsweise zwischen einer im Zünder 11 enthaltenen Sicherungseinrichtung 18 und der Verstärkerladung 15 angeordnet, und zwar derart, daß sie ringmantelförmig eine zusätzlich vorgesehene Zwischenladung 16 umgeben, die die üblicherweise in der Sicherungseinrichtung 18 enthaltene Übertragungsladung mit der Verstärkerladung 15 pyrotechnisch verbindet. Dazu wird die Zwischenladung 16 zweckmäßig zylindrisch ausgebildet und von einem Rohr 17 umfaßt. Durch diese Anordnung wird sichergestellt, daß nach Auslösung des Zünders 1 die Durchzündung zur Verstärkerladung 15 zeitlich schneller abläuft als die seitliche Energieausbreitung durch die Sprengstoffschwaden. Dadurch werden die im hineren Teil 13 des Zünders 11 enthaltenen vorgeformten Splitterkörper 14 schon durch die über die Übertragungsladung 16 angezündete Verstärkerladung 15 in Flugrichtung des Sprenggeschosses beschleunigt. Dadurch ergibt sich eine im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Sprenggeschossen wesentlich verbesserte Splitterwirkung, besonders in unmittelbar vor dem Geschoßkopf liegenden Raumwinkelbereichen. Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß gem. Fig. 1 der die Splitterkörper 14 enthaltende hintere Teil 13 des Zünders 11 in die Sprengladung 12 des Sprenggeschosses 10 hineinragt, werden bei der Detonation der Sprengladung 12 die vorgeformten Splitterkörper 14 durch die Sprengstoffschwaden zusätzlich zusammengehalten und noch enger gebündelt in Flugrichtung des Sprenggeschosses ausgestoßen.The splinter bodies 14 are preferably arranged between a fuse device 18 contained in the igniter 11 and the booster charge 15, in such a way that they surround an additional intermediate charge 16 in the form of a ring jacket, which pyrotechnically connects the transfer charge usually contained in the fuse device 18 with the booster charge 15. For this purpose, the intermediate charge 16 is expediently cylindrical and surrounded by a tube 17. This arrangement ensures that after triggering the detonator 1 the ignition to the booster charge 15 takes place faster than the lateral energy spread through the explosive vapor. As a result, the preformed splinter bodies 14 contained in the rear part 13 of the detonator 11 are already accelerated in the flight direction of the explosive projectile by the booster charge 15 ignited via the transfer charge 16. This results in a significantly improved splintering effect compared to conventional explosive projectiles, especially in solid angle areas directly in front of the projectile head. Due to the fact that acc. Fig. 1, the rear part 13 of the detonator 11 containing the splinter body 14 protrudes into the explosive charge 12 of the explosive projectile 10, the preformed splinter body 14 are additionally held together by the explosive plumes during the detonation of the explosive charge 12 and ejected even more tightly in the direction of flight of the explosive projectile.

Es ist auch denkbar, die Splitter (in Schußrichtung gesehen) vor Sicherungseinrichtung 18 und Verstärkerladung 15 anzuordnen (Fig. 3). In diesem Falle würden die Zwischenladung 16 und das Rohr 17 entfallen.It is also conceivable to arrange the splitters (seen in the firing direction) in front of the securing device 18 and booster charge 15 (FIG. 3). In this case, the intermediate charge 16 and the tube 17 would be omitted.

Die Herstellung des Splitterträgerkörpers kann - wie anhand von Fig. 2 erläutert wird - dadurch wesentlich verbilligt werden, daß die vorgeformten Splitterkörper 14, 20 in einem bestimmten Fertigungsstadium dauerhaft in einen aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff bestehenden Trägerkörper 21 eingebettet werden. Die örtliche Verteilung der Splitterkörper 14, 20 ist hierbei nach Belieben frei wählbar. In dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten schematischen Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine einschichtige regelmäßige Anordnung von vorgeformten Splitterkörpern 14, 20 wiedergegeben. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, eine unregelmäßige örtliche Verteilung und/oder eine mehrschichtige Anordnung von vorgeformten Splitterkörpern 14, 20 vorzusehen, wobei zusätzlich auch noch Splitterkörper 14, 20 mit unterschiedlichem Gewicht bzw. abweichenden Außenformen in das Trägermaterial 21 eingebracht werden können. In weiteren Schritten des Herstellungsverfahrens wird der flexible Kunststoffträger 21 in der dafür erforderlichen Länge ringmantelförmig um die zentralaxial im Zünder 11 angeordnete Übertragungsladung 17 herumgelegt und ggf. durch Wärmeschrumpfung und/oder Verkleben mit dieser dauerhaft verbunden. Auch ein Vergießen der Splitterkörper in Kunststoff ist möglich. Auch die Splitterkörper 20 in Schicht 19" der mehrteiligen Außenhülle 19. 19', 19" können auf diese Weise fixiert werden.The manufacture of the splinter carrier body can - as will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 - be made considerably cheaper by the fact that the preformed splitter bodies 14, 20 are permanently embedded in a carrier body 21 made of a flexible plastic at a certain production stage. The local distribution of the splinter body 14, 20 is freely selectable here. In the schematic exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a regular single-layer arrangement of preformed splinter bodies 14, 20 is shown. It is of course possible to provide an irregular local distribution and / or a multi-layer arrangement of preformed splinter bodies 14, 20, wherein splinter bodies 14, 20 with different weights or different external shapes can also be introduced into the carrier material 21. In further steps of the production process, the flexible plastic carrier 21 is placed in the required length in the form of an annular jacket around the transfer charge 17 arranged centrally axially in the igniter 11 and, if necessary, permanently connected to it by heat shrinking and / or gluing. Casting the splinter body in plastic is also possible. The splinter body 20 in layer 19 "of the multi-part outer shell 19, 19 ', 19" can also be fixed in this way.

Die Verbilligung des Herstellungsverfahrens ergibt sich insbesondere daraus, daß durch den flexiblen Kunststoffträger 21 eine gute Fixierung der Splitterkörper 14, 20 in nahezu beliebiger Verteilung möglich wird, was die nachfolgenden Herstellungsschritte erleichtert.The reduction in the cost of the production process results in particular from the fact that the flexible plastic carrier 21 allows the splinter bodies 14, 20 to be fixed well in almost any distribution, which facilitates the subsequent production steps.

In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind die Splitterkörper 14 in Flugrichtung des Sprenggeschosses gesehen vor der Sicherungseinrichtung 18 und Verstärkerladung 15 angeordnet.In a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the splinter bodies 14 are arranged in front of the safety device 18 and booster charge 15 in the direction of flight of the explosive projectile.
