Definitions

  • the invention relates to a projectile detonator with an ignition needle which is axially displaceably mounted in a housing according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • DE-A-2 310 666 discloses a projectile detonator for a spin-stabilized, full-caliber explosive projectile in which a central ignition needle blocks a rotatable detonator carrier in the securing position. Due to the launch acceleration and the centrifugal force of the projectile swirl acting on it, the firing needle is unlocked and the detonator carrier can rotate in the arming position. The firing pin is secured on the one hand by balls inserted into a recess and this in turn is secured by a wrapping tape around it. Due to the centrifugal force, the winding tape is first unwound, then the balls are released and move out of the recess, so that the firing needle can move under spring force in the axial direction relative to the housing in focus.
  • the winding tape is now additionally secured against early and unintentional unwinding by a spring arm with safety bolts. Due to the launch acceleration, the securing bolt is moved out of its securing position and releases the winding tape. The winding tape remains inside the projectile fuse; a correspondingly large free space must be provided in the projectile fuse. Such a space-consuming projectile detonator training is unsuitable for a daughter projectile with relatively small external dimensions. A disadvantage of this known projectile detonator training is also seen in the fact that after leaving the weapon barrel muzzle of the projectile, the safety bolt moves by spring force back into its safety position after the launch acceleration has ceased, before it is ensured that the winding tape has completely unwound.
  • Daughter storeys are storeys that are transported in large numbers from a cargo storey over a target area and are ejected there.
  • a detonator for a daughter projectile in which a firing needle screwed into the detonator housing is provided in the securing position, which engages in a detonator carrier and prevents it from pivoting out or shifting in the radial direction.
  • the end piece of the screwed-in firing needle facing away from the detonator carrier is connected to a stabilizing band, which unfolds after the daughter floor has been ejected and is intended to exert a torque on the screwed-in firing needle in order to unlock the detonator.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a new type of detonator that works much more precisely and in which the time to focus the detonator is adjustable with a much closer tolerance.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention in a sectional view along AB according to FIG. 3. Only the detonator part of the daughter story essential for understanding the invention is shown, which comprises a housing 1 connected to the active part of the daughter story.
  • Such daughter storeys are arranged in a large number in several layers one behind the other in the payload space of a support storey, which is also not shown in the drawings. They are transported from this carrier storey over a target area and ejected there. They then sink - independently of one another to the target area down, where you - if necessary equipped with sensors, automatically locate the targets and attach their active charge.
  • an ignition needle 7 is arranged centrally in the housing 1 of the igniter in the interior of a bowl-shaped cover 12 that is movable relative to the housing 1.
  • the wall 12 'of the cover 12 has recesses 5' into which locking rivets 5 fastened on spring plates 4 which are fixedly arranged on the housing and can be pivoted out radially. These rivets 5 prevent the cover 12 together with the firing needle 7 fastened to it by means of the screw 19 under the pressure of the lifting spring 18 in the axial direction from the detonator carrier 15, in the empty bore 15 'of which the tip 7' of the firing needle 7 is shown in FIG 1 engages position shown.
  • the hood 12 encompassing in several layers and thereby securing the locking rivets 5 in their holding position, a winding band 11 is arranged in the front part of the housing 1, which is still surrounded in the radial direction outwards by a securing ring 10 and a transport securing ring 9.
  • the firing needle 7 is concentrically surrounded by a striking mass 6, which is designed as a hollow cylinder with a graduated outer diameter.
  • This detent is effected by a ball loaded by a locking spring 17, which engages in a first recess 13 'arranged in the housing 1.
  • the function of the detonator is as follows: since the carrier projectile rotates about its longitudinal axis at the time the subsidiary storeys are ejected, a swirl is also communicated to the ejected daughter storeys. As a result, the transport securing ring 9 and the securing ring 10 open to such an extent that the clamp fit of these two parts on the housing 1 of the igniter is canceled. Now the securing band 11, which is preferably made of a textile material, gets into the air flow and unwinds in layers, for which a certain time is required. During this time, the detonator remains fully secured, i.e. the firing pin 7 and the detonator carrier 15 remain in the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the released detonator carrier 15 now migrates in the radial direction after overcoming the detent of the ball 13 in the first recess 13 'until the ball 13 enters the second recess 13 " engages in the housing 1 and fixes the detonator carrier 15 in this position.
  • the detonator 16 is aligned with the tip 7 ′ of the firing needle 7, which is kept in contact with the striking mass 6 at a distance from the detonator 16 by means of the lifting spring 18.
  • the radially outwardly pivoted spring plates 4 act in a particularly advantageous manner as a swirl brake, whereby the speed of rotation of the daughter storey rotating after ejection can be reduced to such an extent that the residual rotation that remains has as little influence as possible on the active part of the daughter storey, which is usually designed as a hollow charge .
  • a reliable ignition of the active charge could still be achieved even if the daughter projectile would no longer show any rotation on impact with the target.
  • the impact mass 6 slides together with the firing needle 7 and the lid 12 attached to it, against the force of the comparably weak lifting spring 18 in the direction of the detonator 16 which is aligned with the tip 7 'of the firing needle 7, as a result of which the latter is ignited.
  • the high total impact mass, formed from the parts 6, 7 and 12, in conjunction with the good guidance of the firing needle 7, ensures even when hitting soft targets, such as. B. sand, mud or snow, high reliability in ignition.
  • a return spring 20 is arranged in a cutout in the detonator carrier 15 in the igniter shown in section in FIG.
  • the detonnator carrier 15 moves into the ignition from the empty bore 15 ′ as a result of the influence of centrifugal force against the force of the return spring 20 position in which the detonator 16 is aligned with the detached needle tip 7.
  • the locking spring 21 consists of a spring sheet metal strip which is punctiform on one side, for. B. by welds 21 ', is firmly connected to the housing 1 and the free end 21 "behind a detonator carrier 15 connected paragraph 15".
  • a self-disassembling device is provided which, if the detonator 16 fails to ignite after a predefinable time delay, nevertheless causes the active charge to ignite and thereby prevents the occurrence of unexploded ordinances with even greater certainty.
  • the detonator of the subsidiary storey is designed such that, when the detonator carrier 15 migrates into the ignition position, an additional igniter element likewise located in the detonator carrier 15 is pushed into a second piercing needle attached to the housing 1 of the detonator, whereby a pyrotechnic delay line is put into operation. After the delay time has elapsed, this delay line ignites the effective charge of the subsidiary storey via a pyrotechnic reinforcing element, whereby it is destroyed with certainty and no unexploded ordnance is created.
  • FIGS. 9 to 12 This embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 9 to 12.
  • the parts which correspond to the previously described exemplary embodiments are again provided with the same reference numbers.
  • the functional sequence in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Before unlocking the firing pin 7, two, e.g. B. on leaf springs 28 resiliently attached centrifugal bolt 29 released by their radial pivoting due to the centrifugal force, the detonator carrier 15 so that it can slide after unlocking by the tip 7 'of the ignition needle 7 in the ignition position in which the detonator 16 is aligned below the lifted ignition needle 7 is located.
  • the ignition element 23 additionally arranged in the detonator carrier 15 is pushed against a further ignition needle 22 arranged fixed to the housing, as a result of which the ignition element 23 is ignited.
  • the side of a locking spring 21 facing the second ignition needle 22 comes into engagement with the detonator carrier in such a way that a return movement is no longer possible.
  • the return spring 20 pushes the detonator carrier 15 into an irreversible blind position in which the detonator carrier 15 is permanently blocked by the locking spring 21 is.
