Definitions
- the invention relates to a detonator for a bomblet of an artillery grenade according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a detonator for a parachute-delayed submunition of an artillery grenade, in which a detonator carrier which is pivotable about an axis is provided.
- a spring rests on the detonator carrier; this tries to move the detonator carrier from the safeguard to the focus.
- the detonator carrier is secured by a spring pin. The spring pin is unlocked by unfolding the parachute. Because of the two aforementioned spring elements, there is a risk that the igniter will not work properly due to material fatigue or breakage of the springs. This creates unwanted duds.
- a fuse for an axially movable striker with a firing pin to ignite the detonator consists of detachable pins that fix the striker in a guide tube. The pins are only sheared off and the detonator fired when the ammunition accelerates accordingly.
- the loads on the fuse parts of a bomblet are very high when an artillery shell is fired. Accordingly, the igniter parts should be robust and simple.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a simple detonator for a bomblet which has two fuses which are independent of one another.
- bomblet 2 In an artillery grenade 1, several bomblets 2 to 4 are stacked one behind the other.
- the bomblet 2 which will be described in detail here, has an envelope 6 filled with explosives 5, the envelope 6 abutting on the front side of an envelope 7 of the bomblet 3.
- the cover 7 completely covers part of the bomblet 2 with a detonator 8 and a folded parachute 9 with lines 13 of the bomblet 2.
- the igniter 8 lies predominantly in a shaped charge lining 10 for an explosive charge 11 of the bomblet 3.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Zünder für ein Bomblet einer Artilleriegranate nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a detonator for a bomblet of an artillery grenade according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der französischen Patentschrift FR-A-2 140 693 ist für eine fallschirmverzögerte Submunition einer Artilleriegranate ein Zünder bekannt, bei dem ein um eine Achse schwenkbarer Detonatorträger vorgesehen ist. An dem Detonatorträger liegt einerseits eine Feder an; diese versucht den Detonatorträger aus der Sicherstellung in die Scharfstellung zu bewegen. Andererseits ist der Detonatorträger durch einen Federstift in Sicherstellung festgelegt. Entriegelt wird der Federstift durch das Entfalten des Fallschirmes. Aufgrund der beiden vorgenannten Federelemente besteht die Gefahr, daß aufgrund von Materialermüdungen oder Bruch der Federn der Zünder nicht ordnungsgemäß arbeitet. Dadurch entstehen unerwünschte Blindgänger. Eine Sicherung für ein axial bewegliches Schlagstück mit Zündstift zur Zündung des Detonators besteht aus abschwerbaren Stiften, die das Schlagstück in einem Führungsrohr festlegen. Erst bei entsprechend großer Beschleunigung der Submunition werden die Stifte abgeschert und der Detonator gezündet.From the French patent FR-A-2 140 693, a detonator is known for a parachute-delayed submunition of an artillery grenade, in which a detonator carrier which is pivotable about an axis is provided. On the one hand, a spring rests on the detonator carrier; this tries to move the detonator carrier from the safeguard to the focus. On the other hand, the detonator carrier is secured by a spring pin. The spring pin is unlocked by unfolding the parachute. Because of the two aforementioned spring elements, there is a risk that the igniter will not work properly due to material fatigue or breakage of the springs. This creates unwanted duds. A fuse for an axially movable striker with a firing pin to ignite the detonator consists of detachable pins that fix the striker in a guide tube. The pins are only sheared off and the detonator fired when the ammunition accelerates accordingly.
Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE-A-1 912 750 ist ein Zünder bekannt, bei dem durch die beim Abschuß entstehende Beschleunigung eine Sicherungsscheibe durch ein Detonatorsperrglied verformt wird. Die Sicherungsscheibe ist als Federscheibe mit elastischen Zungen ausgebildet.From the German patent application DE-A-1 912 750 an igniter is known in which a locking washer is deformed by a detonator locking element due to the acceleration occurring during the launch. The locking washer is designed as a spring washer with elastic tongues.
Die Herstellung einer derartigen Sicherungsscheibe ist relativ aufwendig. Auch kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß einzelne Zungen vorzeitig brechen.The production of such a locking washer is relatively complex. It cannot be excluded that individual tongues break prematurely.
Die Beanspruchungen von Zünderteilen eines Bomblets sind beim Abschuß einer Artilleriegranate sehr groß. Dementsprechend sollten die Zünderteile robust und einfach aufgebaut sein.The loads on the fuse parts of a bomblet are very high when an artillery shell is fired. Accordingly, the igniter parts should be robust and simple.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen einfachen Zünder für ein Bomblet vorzuschlagen, der zwei voneinander unabhängige Sicherungen aufweist.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a simple detonator for a bomblet which has two fuses which are independent of one another.
Die Neuerung löst diese Aufgabe entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruches.The innovation solves this problem in accordance with the characterizing features of the claim.
Wesentlich führ die Neuerung ist, daß der Verband der Bomblets untereinander und die Luftanströmung am Sicherungshebel die zwei voneinander unabhängigen Entsicherungskriterien darstellen. Hierzu werden einfache Mittel eingesetzt.What is essential for the innovation is that the association of the bomblets with each other and the air flow at the safety lever are the two independent safety criteria. Simple means are used for this.
Für die Zündung des Bomblets ist es erforderlich, daß es sich von dem benachbarten Bomblet gelöst hat und einen entsprechenden Energieinhalt aufweist, der dann zur Entsicherung - mittels der Luftanströmung an dem Sicherungshebel - ausgenützt wird.For the ignition of the bomblet, it is necessary that it has detached from the neighboring bomblet and has a corresponding energy content, which is then used for unlocking - by means of the air flow at the safety lever.
Wesentlich hierbei ist, daß zur Scharfstellung des Detonators nur die Bewegungsenergie des in der Luftströmung liegenden Sicherungshebel verwendet wird. Zum unmittelbaren Antrieb des Schiebers ist also keine gespeicherte Energie in Form einer vorgespannten Antriebsfeder nötig.It is essential here that only the kinetic energy of the safety lever lying in the air flow is used to focus the detonator. No stored energy in the form of a pretensioned drive spring is therefore necessary for the direct drive of the slide.

In einer Artilleriegranate 1 sind mehrere Bomblets 2 bis 4 hintereinander gestappelt angeordnet. Das Bomblet 2, das hier im einzelnen beschrieben werden soll, weist eine mit Sprengstoff 5 gefüllte Hülle 6 auf, wobei die Hülle 6 stirnseitig an einer Hülle 7 des Bomblets 3 anliegt.In an artillery grenade 1,
Die Hülle 7 umhüllt einen Teil des Bomblets 2 mit einen Zünder 8 sowie einen gefalteten Fallschirm 9 mit Leinen 13 des Bomblets 2 vollständig.The cover 7 completely covers part of the
Der Zünder 8 liegt überwiegend in einer Hohlladungsauskleidung 10 für eine Sprengladung 11 des Bomblets 3. Die Auskleidung 10 ist durch einen Ring 12 in der Hülle 7 fixiert.The igniter 8 lies predominantly in a
Der Zünder 8 besteht aus einem in Pfeilrichtung 15 bewegbaren Schieber 16. Der Schieber 16 enthält einen anstichempfindlichen Detonator 17 und weist Öffnungen 18 und 19 für die Anstichnadel 20 eines gegen Federkraft beweglichen Schlägers 22 und für einen Mitnehmerhebel 25 auf.The igniter 8 consists of a

Der Schläger 22 liegt an einer verformbaren Sicherungsscheibe 30 an. Die Sicherungsscheibe 30 ist an einem Pfosten 31 einer, in ein Gehäuse 33 eingebördelten Platte 34 befestigt.The
Die Funktion des Zünders ist aus den Figuren 2 und 3 ersichtlich. Beim Abschuß des Artilleriegeschosses 1 aus einer nicht gezeigten Waffe wird durch die Abschußbeschleunigung die Sicherungsscheibe vom Schläger 22 gemäß Fig. 2 verformt, wobei der Schläger 22 in Pfeilrichtung 56 bewegt wird. Dabei gerät die Zündnadel 20 außer Eingriff mit dem Schieber 16. Die Feder 21 hält den Schläger 22 in der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung.The function of the igniter can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3. When the artillery projectile 1 is fired from a weapon (not shown), the locking disk is deformed by the
Es folgt nun der Trennvorgang der Bomblets 2 bis 4 untereinander. Wenn sich die Bomblets 2 und 3 voneinander gelöst haben, schwenkt der vorgespannte Sicherungshebel 26 radial nach außen, so daß dieser der Luftanströmung, siehe Pfeil 57, ausgesetzt ist. Die Luftanströmkraft wird nun den Sicherungshebel 26 in Pfeilrichtung 56 reißen. Der Sicherungshebel 26 schiebt über den Mitnehmerhebel 25 den Schieber 16 in Scharfstellung nach Fig. 3.The
Wenn der Schieber 16 in Scharfstellung steht, klinkt der Sicherungshebel 26 aus und fliegt weg. Der Hebel 25 sichert den Schieber durch Eingriff in eine Stufe 27.When the
Der Zünder 8 ist nun voll entsichert. Beim Zielaufschlag bewegt sich nun der Schläger 22 durch die Verzögerung in Pfeilrichtung 58 und sticht den Detonator 17 an. Damit wird die Zündung der Sprengladung 5 eingeleitet.The detonator 8 is now fully unlocked. When striking the target, the
