Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen segmentierten Treibkäfig nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a segmented sabot according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Treibkäfig der vorgenannten Gattung ist bekannt aus der DE-PS 22 36 142. Er weist in der vorderen Abstützung die Lufttasche auf und in der Nachbarschaft der zweiten Abstützung eine rückseitige Kante, um die sich die Ablösung der Segmente vom Wuchtgeschoß vollzieht. Bei Beschüssen konnte ein ungleichmäßiges Ablösen der Treibkäfigsegmente vom Wuchtgeschoß festgestellt werden. Dies kann zu einer schädlichen Pendelung des Wuchtgeschosses führen. Durch die Pendelung des Wuchtgeschosses kann sowohl dessen Treffgenauigkeit wie auch dessen Durchschlagsleistung empfindlich beeinträchtigt werden. Letzteres bezieht sich vornehmlich auf die Wirkung gegen neuartige Ziele, die sowohl besonders lange Wuchtgeschosse wie auch deren weitestgehende Pendelungsfreiheit erforderlich machen. Untersuchungen zum Verhalten von Wuchtgeschoß-Treibkäfig-Anordnung ergaben, daß im Bereich um den Vorderteil des Wuchtgeschosses instabile Strömungsverhältnisse auftreten können, die das gleichmäßige segmentweise Ablösen des Treibkäfigs beeinträchtigen.A sabot of the aforementioned type is known from DE-PS 22 36 142. It has the air pocket in the front support and a rear edge in the vicinity of the second support, around which the segments are detached from the balancing projectile. In the event of shelling, an uneven detachment of the sabot segments from the balancing projectile was found. This can lead to a harmful swinging of the balancing bullet. Due to the oscillation of the balancing bullet, both its accuracy and its penetration performance can be significantly affected. The latter primarily relates to the effect against new types of targets, which require both particularly long balancing bullets and the greatest possible freedom of oscillation. Investigations into the behavior of the balancing projectile-sabot arrangement showed that unstable flow conditions can occur in the area around the front part of the balancing projectile, which impair the uniform segment-wise detachment of the sabot.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Treibkäfig der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, dessen segmentweises Ablöseverhalten nicht von den genannten Druckschwankungen beeinflußt und damit verbessert wird.The invention has for its object to provide a sabot of the type mentioned, the segment-wise detachment behavior is not affected by the pressure fluctuations mentioned and is thus improved.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Erfindung, die durch die Lehren nach den Kennzeichen der weiteren Patentansprüche vorteilhaft .ausgestaltet wird.This object is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1, which is advantageously embodied by the teachings according to the characterizing part of the further patent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand zweier in der Zeichnung dargestellter Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to two exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen ersten Treibkäfig nach der Erfindung in Vorderansicht,
  • Fig. 2 den ersten Treibkäfig im Schnitt nach der Linie II - II in Fig. 1 und
  • Fig. 3 einen vorderen Bereich eines Segments eines zweiten Treibkäfigs nach der Erfindung.
Show it:
  • 1 shows a first sabot according to the invention in front view,
  • Fig. 2 shows the first sabot in section along the line II - II in Fig. 1 and
  • Fig. 3 shows a front region of a segment of a second sabot according to the invention.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1 und 2 weist ein erster Treibkäfig 1 mit einer vorderseitigen Abstützung 2 und einer rückseitigen Abstützung 3 drei Segmente 4, 5 u. 6 auf, die sich in Stoßfugen 7, 8 und 9 paarweise gegenseitig berühren. Die vorderseitige Abstützung 2 besteht aus Stegen 10, 11 und 12, die durch Zwischenräume 13.1, 13.2 und 13.3 voneinander getrennt sind. Die Stege 10, 11 und 12 sind jeweils vorderseitig durch eine gekrümmte Fläche 14 und rückseitig durch eine gekrümmte Fläche 15 begrenzt und in Richtung eines die Schußrichtung andeutenden Pfeils S gegen eine zentrale Längsachse 20 geneigt und weisen eine schmale vordere Stirnfläche 16 und eine außenseitige Stützfläche 29 auf.1 and 2, a first sabot 1 with a front support 2 and a rear support 3 has three segments 4, 5 and. 6, which touch each other in pairs in butt joints 7, 8 and 9. The front support 2 consists of webs 10, 11 and 12, which are separated from one another by spaces 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3. The webs 10, 11 and 12 are each delimited on the front by a curved surface 14 and on the rear by a curved surface 15 and inclined in the direction of an arrow S indicating the direction of the weft against a central longitudinal axis 20 and have a narrow front end surface 16 and an outside support surface 29 on.

Entlang der Längsachse 20 erstreckt sich eine kreiszylindrische zentrale Aufnahme 18 für ein nicht dargestelltes Wuchtgeschoß von einer Heckkante 17 bis zu einer Vorderkante 28 des Treibkäfigs l. Die Aufnahme 18 weist umfangsseitig Formschlußmittel 19 für korrespondierende Formschlußmittel am Wuchtgeschoß auf. Die rückseitige Abstützung 3 umgreift mit einer geschlossenen kreiszylindrischen Umfangsfläche 30 die Längsachse 20 und weist im Umfangsbereich eine Aufnahme 32 für ein nicht dargestelltes Dichtungsband auf. Die rückseitige Abstützung 3 ist vorderseitig als von einer Kante 35 begrenzte Lufttasche mit einer Grundfläche 36 ausgebildet und wird rückseitig von einer Gasdruckaufnahmefläche 31 begrenzt, die im Bereich der Stoßfugen 7, 8 und 9 eine jeweilige Nut 34 zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Dichtungselements aufweist.A circular-cylindrical central receptacle 18 for a balancing projectile (not shown) extends along the longitudinal axis 20 from a rear edge 17 to a front edge 28 of the sabot 1. The receptacle 18 has positive locking means 19 on the circumference for corresponding positive locking means on the balancing projectile. The rear support 3 surrounds the longitudinal axis 20 with a closed circular cylindrical peripheral surface 30 and has a receptacle 32 in the peripheral region for a sealing tape (not shown). The rear support 3 is formed on the front as an air pocket delimited by an edge 35 with a base area 36 and is delimited on the back by a gas pressure receiving area 31 which has a respective groove 34 in the area of the butt joints 7, 8 and 9 for receiving a sealing element (not shown).

Verläßt der das Wuchtgeschoß formschlüssig umgreifende Treibkäfig 1 die Mündung eines Waffenrohres in Richtung des Pfeils S, kann die anströmende Luft durch die Zwischenräume 13.1, 13.2 und 13.3 in die Lufttasche 33 gelangen und leitet damit den Ablösevorgang der Segmente 4, 5 und 6 vom Wuchtgeschoß ein. Dabei erweist sich als vorteilhaft, daß sich ein von der Heckkante 17 (als Abrollkante gegenüber dem Wuchtgeschoß) bis zur Grundfläche 36 der Lufttasche 33 erstreckener Hebelarm 37 vergleichsweise kurz ist und der Ablösevorgang der Segmente 4, 5 und 6 wegen der großen Entfernung von der Fluggeschoßspitze nicht von den Druckschwankungen im vorderen Bereich beeinträchtigt wird. Aus der vergleichsweise geringen Masse des jeweiligen Segments 4, 5 und 6 resultiert zudem eine wesentlich verringerte Stoßwirkung auf das Wuchtgeschoß, das hierdurch vorteilhafterweise erheblich weniger zur Pendelung angeregt wird.If the sabot 1 surrounds the balancing projectile in a form-fitting manner, the mouth of a weapon barrel in the direction of arrow S, the incoming air can pass through the spaces 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 into the air pocket 33 and thus initiates the detaching process of the segments 4, 5 and 6 from the balancing projectile . It proves to be advantageous that a lever arm 37 extending from the rear edge 17 (as a rolling edge opposite the balancing projectile) to the base 36 of the air pocket 33 is comparatively short and the detachment process of the segments 4, 5 and 6 is due to the large distance from the missile tip is not affected by the pressure fluctuations in the front area. The comparatively small mass of the respective segments 4, 5 and 6 also results in a significantly reduced impact on the balancing projectile, which is advantageously excited to oscillate considerably less.

Bei einem zweiten Treibkäfig nach der Fig. 3 sind die Stege, von denen nur ein Steg 40 dargestellt ist, vorderseitig von einer vergleichsweise b reiteren Fläche 42 begrenzt, die folglich der anströmenden Luft einen größeren Widerstand entgegensetzt. Die Stege bestehen aus Kunststoff geringer Dichte. Ein nicht näher bezeichneter Hauptteil aus einer Leichtmetallegierung weist eine aus Absätzen 23.1 bis 23.5 gebildete Außenfläche 23 mit Schwalbenschwanznuten 25.1 und 25.2 auf. Der Steg 40 ist aus Kunststoff gestaltet, und ist in die Schwalbenschwanznuten 24.1 und 24.2 eingeschoben. Ein Bereich schwächsten Querschnitts ist als Sollbruchstelle 25 ausgebildet.In a second sabot according to FIG. 3, the webs, of which only one web 40 is shown, are bounded on the front by a comparatively wider surface 42, which consequently offers greater resistance to the incoming air. The webs are made of low density plastic. A main part of a light metal alloy, not designated in any more detail, has an outer surface 23 formed from paragraphs 23.1 to 23.5 with dovetail grooves 25.1 and 25.2. The web 40 is made of plastic and is inserted into the dovetail grooves 24.1 and 24.2. A region with the weakest cross section is designed as a predetermined breaking point 25.

Beim Verlassen des Waffenrohres werden die Stege 40 im Bereich der Fläche 42 von der Luft angeströmt und brechen bei 25 ab. Der weitere Ablösevorgang vollzieht sich im wesentlichen derart, wie er im Zusammenhang mit dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben ist. Durch eine nicht dargestellte AusgestaLtung der Gasdruckaufnahmefläche am Treibkäfig kann das AbLösen der Segmente vom Wuchtgeschoß auch von hinten beginnend oder auch im wesentlichen parallel zur Geschoßlängsachse erfolgen.When leaving the gun barrel, the webs 40 flow against the air in the area of the surface 42 and break off at 25. The further detaching process takes place essentially as described in connection with the first embodiment. By means of a configuration of the gas pressure receiving surface on the sabot not shown, the segments can also be detached from the balancing projectile starting from the back or also essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the projectile.

Während beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 die Stege 40 als aus Kunststoff gefertigt dargestellt und beschrieben sine kann dies auch, wenigstens teilsweise, auf den nicht näher bezeichneten Hauptteil des betreffenden Segments zutreffen. Dies gilt auch für das Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1 und 2, wobei eine der Sollbruchstelle 25 in Fig. 3 im wesent lichen entsprechende nicht näher bezeichnete jeweilige Sollbruchstelle beispielsweise im Bereich der gekrümmten Fläche 14 angeordnet sein kann.While the webs 40 are shown and described as being made of plastic in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, this can also apply, at least in part, to the main part of the segment in question, which is not described in any more detail. This also applies to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein one of the predetermined breaking points 25 in FIG. 3 can be arranged in the corresponding union of respective predetermined breaking points, for example in the region of the curved surface 14, which is not described in more detail.
