Abstract

Die Treibladung 10 ist in eine erste Teiltreibladung 20 und eine weitere Teiltreibladung 30 unterteilt. Jeder Teiltreibladung ist ein Gehäuse 22, 32 mit Austrittsöffnungen 23, 33 und eine Anzündleitung 25, 35 zugeordnet. In der Anzündleitung 35 liegt ein Vorschaltwiderstand 36. Die Anzündleitungen 25, 35 verbinden einen Kontaktstift 53 mit einer jeweiligen Anzündpille 28, 29. Soll nur die erste Teiltreibladung 20 angezündet werden, wird eine vergleichsweise geringe Anzündspannung an den Kontaktstift 23 angelegt. Hieraus resultiert eine der Teiltreibladung 20 entsprechende Mündungsgeschwindigkeit. Soll die Mündungsgeschwindigkeit größer sein, wird auch die Teiltreibladung 30 angezündet. Wegen des Vorschaltwiderstandes 36 muß dann die Anzündspannung höher sein.The propellant charge 10 is divided into a first sub-propellant charge 20 and a further sub-propellant charge 30. A housing 22, 32 with outlet openings 23, 33 and an ignition line 25, 35 is assigned to each partial propellant charge. A series resistor 36 is located in the ignition line 35. The ignition lines 25, 35 connect a contact pin 53 to a respective ignition pill 28, 29. If only the first partial propellant charge 20 is to be ignited, a comparatively low ignition voltage is applied to the contact pin 23. This results in a muzzle velocity corresponding to the partial propellant charge 20. If the muzzle velocity is to be greater, the partial propellant charge 30 is also ignited. Because of the series resistor 36, the ignition voltage must then be higher.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Munition nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Derartige Munition ist Gegenstand der Europa-Patentanmeldung 0081 644 A3 mit der Anmeldenummer 82 109 259.0. Bei ihr wird die Reichweite des Geschosses bei vorgegebener Treibladung ausschließlich durch die Rohrerhöhung bestimmt. Diese Einschränkung kann sich als störend erweisen.The invention relates to ammunition according to the preamble of claim 1. Such ammunition is the subject of European patent application 0081 644 A3 with application number 82 109 259.0. With it, the range of the projectile for a given propellant charge is determined exclusively by the pipe elevation. This limitation can be annoying.

Deshalb liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Muni- tion der eingangs genannten Gattung bereitzustellen, deren Reichweitenveränderlichkeit wenigstens teilweise von der Rohrerhöhung unabhängig ist.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide an M unation of the type mentioned at the outset, whose range variability is at least partially independent of the pipe elevation.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Erfindung, die nach-stehend anhand dreier in der Zeichnung dargestellter, bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert wird.This object is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1, which is explained in more detail below with reference to three preferred exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing.

Es zeigen, jeweils in einem längsachsialen Schnitt durch einen rückseitigen Bereich einer betreffenden Munitionseinheit, d. h. ausschnittweise, die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 je eines der drei Ausführunqsheispiele.They show, in each case in a longitudinal axial section through a rear area of a relevant ammunition unit, i. H. excerpts, Figures 1, 2 and 3 each one of the three exemplary embodiments.

Gemäß Fig. 1 umschließt eine Treibladungshülse 11 mit einem Boden 12 einen Innenraum 11'. In eine bodenseitige Öffnung 13 mit einem Innengewinde 14 ist ein Gehäuse 51 einer Anzündeinrichtung 50 mit einem Außengewinde 58 eingeschraubt. Das Gehäuse 51 umschließt ein Isolierrohr 52, das seinerseits einen Kontaktstift 53 umschließt. Eine Vergußmasse 55 füllt im wesentlichen einen Raum im Gehäuse 51 aus und erstreckt sich bis zu einem Gitter 54, dem ein Distanzplättchen 56 aufliegt. In ein Innengewinde 57 ist ein Gehäuse 32 für eine Teiltreibladung 30 mittels eines Außengewindes 32' in das Gehäuse 51 eingeschraubt. In ein Innengewinde 32 "ist ein Gehäuse 22 für eine Teiltreibladung 20 mittels eines Außengewindes 22' in das Gehäuse 32 eingeschraubt. Die Teiltreibladung 20 ist-von einer Ladungskapsel 29, die Teiltreibladung 30 ist von einer Ladungskapsel 40 eingehüllt. Eine Leitung 25 verbindet den Kontaktstift 53 mit einer Anzündpille 28 für die Treibladunq 20. In nächster Nachbarschaft der Anzündpille 28 ist ein Dichtplättchen 27 angeordnet. Über Austrittsöffnunqen 23' steht die eingehültte Teiltreibladung 20 mit dem Innenraum 11' in durchgängiger Verbindung. Das Gehäuse 32 weist zur durchgängigen Verbindung der Ladungskapsel 40 mit dem Innenraum 11' Austrittsöffnungen 33 auf. Letztere sind mittels eines jeweiligen Verschlußelements 34 in Richtung auf die Teiltreibladung 30 druckfest verschlossen. Eine Leitung 35 verbindet den Kontaktstift 53 mit einer Anzündpille 39 für die Teiltreibladung 30. In nächster Nachbarschaft der Anzündpille 39 ist ein Dichtplättchen 38 angeordnet. In der Leitung 35 liegt ein definierter Vorschaltwiderstand 36. Hierdurch weist ein Anzündkreis der Teiltreibladung 30 einen größeren Widerstand auf als ein Anzündkreis der Teiltreibladung 20.1, a propellant charge sleeve 11 encloses an interior 11 'with a base 12. A housing 51 of an ignition device 50 with an external thread 58 is screwed into a bottom-side opening 13 with an internal thread 14. The housing 51 encloses an insulating tube 52, which in turn encloses a contact pin 53. A potting compound 55 essentially fills a space in the housing 51 and extends to a grid 54, on which a spacer plate 56 rests. A housing 32 for a partial propellant charge 30 is screwed into an internal thread 57 by means of an external thread 32 ′ in the housing 51. A housing 22 for a partial propellant charge 20 is screwed into an internal thread 32 ″ by means of an external thread 22 ′ in the housing 32. The partial propellant charge 20 is encased by a charge capsule 29, the partial propellant charge 30 is encased by a charge capsule 40. A line 25 connects the contact pin 53 with an igniter 28 for the propellant charge 20. A sealing plate 27 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the igniter 28. The encased partial propellant charge 20 is in continuous connection with the interior 11 'via outlet openings 23'. The housing 32 points to the continuous connection of the charge capsule 40 with the interior 11 'exit openings 33. The latter are pressure-tightly closed in the direction of the partial propellant charge 30 by means of a respective closure element 34. A line 35 connects the contact pin 53 to an igniter pill 39 for the partial propellant charge 30. In the immediate vicinity of the igniter pill 39 is a sealing plate 38. In line 35 left a defined ballast resistor 36. As a result, an ignition circuit of the partial propellant charge 30 has a greater resistance than an ignition circuit of the partial propellant charge 20.

Die Wirkungsweise ergibt sich folgendermaßen, wobei zunächst davon ausgegangen wird, daß nur die erste Teiltreibladung 20 angezündet werden soll:

  • Eine Anzündspannung wird waffenseitig an den Kontaktstift 53 angelegt, die für den Vorschaltwiderstand 36 zu gering ist und deshalb nur die Teiltreibladung 20 anzündet. Durch den hierbei im Innenraum 11' ent- stehenden Druck wirken die Verschlußelemente 34 abschirmend auf die Teiltreibladung 30. Das Geschoß 60 verläßt mit einer der Teiltreibladung 20 entsprechenden Mündungsgeschwindigkeiten das Waffenrohr. Hierauf kann durch Anlegen einer höheren Spannung die Teiltreibladung 30 nachträglich gezündet werden, ohne noch Wirkung auf das Geschoß 60 zu haben. Die Teiltreibladung 30 kann auch ohne angezüdet zu werden mit der Teiltreibladungshülse 11 aus dem Rohr der Waffe ausgezogen werden.
The mode of operation results as follows, it being initially assumed that only the first partial propellant charge 20 should be ignited:
  • An ignition voltage is applied to the contact pin 53 on the weapon side, which is too low for the series resistor 36 and therefore only ignites the partial propellant charge 20. By this' e nt in the interior 11 of stationary pressure the closure elements 34 act shielding 30 on the part of the propellant charge The projectile 60 leaves a part of the propellant charge 20 corresponding to the weapon barrel muzzle velocities. The partial propellant charge 30 can then be ignited subsequently by applying a higher voltage without having any effect on the projectile 60. The partial propellant charge 30 can also be pulled out of the barrel of the weapon with the partial propellant charge sleeve 11 without being lit.

Soll das Geschoß 60 mit einer vergleichsweise höheren Mündungsgeschwindigkeit abgefeuert werden, wird eine ausreichend hohe Spannung aus einer waffenseitigen Spannungsquelle an den Kontaktstift 53 angelegt. Auf diese Weise werden beide Teiltreibladungen 20 und 30 angezündet.If the projectile 60 is to be fired at a comparatively higher muzzle velocity, a sufficiently high voltage is applied to the contact pin 53 from a weapon-side voltage source. In this way, both partial propellant charges 20 and 30 are ignited.

Die Anordnung nach Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von derjenigen nach Fig. 1 im wesentlichen durch Austrittsöffnunqen 23' zugeordnete Verschlußelemente 24.The arrangement according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 essentially by closure elements 24 assigned to outlet openings 23 ′.

Bei der Anordnung nach Fig. 3 ist die weitere Teiltreibladung 30 am Roden 62 des Geschosses 60 befestiqt. Wird nur die erste Teiltreibladung 20 angezündet, verläßt die nicht angezündete Teiltreibladung 30 mit dem Geschoß 60 das Waffenrohr. Bei Anzündung beider Teiltreibladungen 20 und 30 verbleibt das ausgebrannte Gehäuse 32 am Geschoßboden 62. Bei einem nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich die Teiltreibladung 30 mit ihrem Gehäuse 32 im Boden 62 des Geschosses 60.In the arrangement according to FIG. 3, the further partial propellant charge 30 is fastened to the tiller 62 of the projectile 60. If only the first partial propellant charge 20 is ignited, the non-ignited partial propellant charge 30 leaves the weapon barrel with the projectile 60. When both partial propellant charges 20 and 30 are ignited, the burned-out housing 32 remains on the floor 62.

Soll die erste Teiltreibladung mechanisch angezündet werden, befindet sie sich in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft der Anzündeinrichtung 50. Zum Anzünden der weiteren Teiltreibladung 30 muß abfeueurngsweise eine Anzündspannung angelegt werden.If the first partial propellant charge is to be ignited mechanically, it is located in the immediate vicinity of the ignition device 50.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist die Anpaßbarkeit der Mündungsgeschwindigkeit an jeweiliqe Gegebenheiten. Hieraus wird deutlich, daß außer den Teiltreibladunqen 20 und 30 noch weitere Teiltreibladungen vqrhanden sein können. Vorteilhafterweise braucht an der Munition zur Wahl zu der Mündungsgeschwindigkeit keine Manipulation vorgenommenvwerden. Die Wahl kann außerdem getroffen werden, wenn sich die Munitionseinheit bereits im Ladungsraum befindet und ein Verschluß verriegelt ist.The advantage of the invention is the adaptability of the muzzle velocity to the respective circumstances. It is clear from this that in addition to the partial propellant charges 20 and 30, further partial propellant charges vqrhan that can be. Advantageously, no manipulation needs to be vorgenommenv at the ammunition for election to the muzzle velocity. The choice can also be made if the ammunition unit is already in the cargo area and a lock is locked.
