Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Annäherungs­schalter zum Zünden einer Hohlladung, insbesondere für eine Mine, unter Verwendung eines elektrischen Schwingkreises mit einer Zylinderspule.The invention relates to a proximity switch for igniting a shaped charge, in particular for a mine, using an electrical resonant circuit with a solenoid.

Bei Minen zur Bekämpfung von Landfahrzeugen ist es bekannt, Annäherungsschalter zum Zünden der Sprengladung vorzusehen, wobei diese Annäherungsschalter durch Schall­wellen oder Veränderungen eines magnetischen Feldes gesteu­ert werden. Besonders einfach aufgebaute und funktionssi­chere Annäherungsschalter werden auf der Basis von Schwing­kreisen erhalten, die durch das sich nähernde Fahrzeug ver­stimmt werden und die Zündung der Mine auslösen. Solche auf der Basis von elektrischen Schwingkreisen beruhende Annähe­rungsschalter können jedoch nicht zum Zünden von Hohlla­dungen eingesetzt werden, weil der der Sprengladung ziel­seitig vorgelagerte, metallische Hohlkörper eine zu starke Dämpfung des Schwingkreises aufgrund der im Hohlkörper in­duzierten Wirbelströme bewirkt.In the case of mines for combating land vehicles, it is known to provide proximity switches for detonating the explosive charge, these proximity switches being controlled by sound waves or changes in a magnetic field. Proximity switches of particularly simple design and reliable function are obtained on the basis of resonant circuits which are detuned by the approaching vehicle and trigger the mine to ignite. Such proximity switches based on electrical resonant circuits cannot, however, be used to ignite shaped charges because the metallic hollow body in front of the explosive charge causes excessive damping of the resonant circuit due to the eddy currents induced in the hollow body.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesen Mangel zu vermeiden und einen Annäherungsschalter zum Zünden einer Hohlladung auf der Basis eines elektrischen Schwingkreises zu schaffen, dessen Ansprechempfindlichkeit nicht durch den metallischen Hohlkörper der Hohlladung be­einträchtigt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid this deficiency and to provide a proximity switch for igniting a shaped charge on the basis of an electrical resonant circuit, the responsiveness of which is not impaired by the hollow metal body of the shaped charge.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, daß die dem metallischen Hohlkörper der Hohlladung zielseitig vorgelagerte, mit einer elektrostatischen Schirmung ver­ sehene Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises auf ihrer vom Ziel abgewandten Seite mit einem koaxialen Ferritring verschiebe­fest und elektrisch isoliert verbunden ist.The invention solves this problem in that the upstream of the metallic hollow body of the shaped charge ver with an electrostatic shield see solenoid of the resonant circuit on its side facing away from the target with a coaxial ferrite ring is connected and electrically isolated.

Durch das Vorsehen eines der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises zugeordneten, koaxialen Ferritringes auf der dem Ziel abgekehrten Spulenseite durchsetzen die Feldlinien des durch die Zylinderspule erregten elektromagnetischen Feldes aufgrund des gegenüber Luft wesentlich geringeren magnetischen Widerstandes des Ferritringes den Ferritring im wesentlichen radial, so daß eine störende Feldausbreitung in den Bereich des metallischen Hohlkörpers der Hohlladung unterbunden wird. Es werden daher keine Wirbelströme im metallischen Hohlkörper der Hohlladung induziert werden.By providing a coaxial ferrite ring assigned to the cylindrical coil of the resonant circuit on the side of the coil remote from the target, the field lines of the electromagnetic field excited by the cylindrical coil penetrate the ferrite ring essentially radially due to the magnetic resistance of the ferrite ring, which is substantially lower than air, so that a disturbing field propagation in the area of the metallic hollow body of the shaped charge is prevented. Therefore, no eddy currents will be induced in the hollow metal body of the shaped charge.

Da der Ferritring aus einem Werkstoff hoher Perme­abilität und eines vergleichsweise großen spezifischen Ohmschen Widerstandes hergestellt werden kann, können die durch das Spulenfeld im Ferritkern induzierten Wirbelströme auf ein zulässiges Maß herabgesetzt werden, ohne die Funk­tionsfähigkeit des Annäherungsschalters zu gefährden. In diesem Zusammenhang ist ja zu berücksichtigen, daß der An­näherungsschalter erst bei einem vergleichsweise geringen Abstand des Zieles von der Hohlladung ansprechen soll und eine entsprechende Ausbreitung des Spulenfeldes in Richtung des Zieles durch den Ferritring auf der dem Ziel abgewandten Spulenseite nicht verhindert werden kann. Um die Funktions­sicherheit eines solchen Annäherungsschalters zu gewähr­leisten, muß allerdings dafür gesorgt werden, daß der Ferrit­ring verschiebefest mit der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises verbunden ist, damit nicht Relativbewegungen zwischen der Zylinderspule und dem Ferritkern zu einer unter Umständen ein Ansprechen des Annäherungsschalters bewirkenden Ver­stimmung des Schwingkreises führen können. Dem gleichen Zweck dient die elektrostatische Schirmung der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises, so daß kapazitive Störeinflüsse ausge­schaltet werden können. Thermische Einflüsse, wie z. B. eine Temperaturdrift, sind dabei durch die an die Schaltung ange­ schlossene Elektronik kompensierbar.Since the ferrite ring can be produced from a material of high permeability and a comparatively large specific ohmic resistance, the eddy currents induced by the coil field in the ferrite core can be reduced to an allowable level without endangering the functionality of the proximity switch. In this context, it must be taken into account that the proximity switch should only respond when the target is at a comparatively small distance from the shaped charge, and a corresponding spreading of the coil field in the direction of the target by the ferrite ring on the side of the coil remote from the target cannot be prevented. In order to ensure the functional reliability of such a proximity switch, however, care must be taken to ensure that the ferrite ring is connected to the solenoid of the resonant circuit so as not to be displaced, so that relative movements between the solenoid and the ferrite core cannot lead to a detuning of the resonant circuit which may cause the proximity switch to respond . The electrostatic shielding of the cylindrical coil of the resonant circuit serves the same purpose, so that capacitive interference can be eliminated. Thermal influences, such as B. a temperature drift, are due to the circuit closed electronics can be compensated.

Der Ferritring kann in verschiedener Art und Weise mit der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises verbunden werden, da es lediglich auf eine veschiebefest Zuordnung des Ferritringes zur Zylinderspule ankommt. Besonders vorteil­hafte Konstruktionsverhältnisse werden allerdings dadurch sichergestellt, daß der Ferritring mit der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises durch eine elektrisch isolierende Klebeschicht verbunden wird. Diese Klebeschnicht macht nicht nur andere ge­gebenenfalls die Ausbildung des Spulenfeldes beeinflussende Verbindungsmittel überflüssig, sondern ergibt auch eine wirksame elektrische Isolierung zwischen der Zylinderspule bzw. ihrer elektrostatischen Schirmung und dem Ferritring.The ferrite ring can be connected to the cylindrical coil of the resonant circuit in various ways, since the only thing that is important is that the ferrite ring is assigned to the cylindrical coil so that it cannot move. Particularly advantageous design conditions are ensured, however, in that the ferrite ring is connected to the cylindrical coil of the resonant circuit by an electrically insulating adhesive layer. This adhesive not only makes other connecting means which possibly influence the formation of the coil field superfluous, but also provides effective electrical insulation between the solenoid or its electrostatic shielding and the ferrite ring.

Zur Halterung der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises und des mit der Zylinderspule verbundenen Ferritringes kann in weiterer in einer elektrisch isolierenden Vergußmasse eingebettet sein, wobei die Zylinderspule mit dem Ferritring zunächst in ein Kunststoffgehäuse eingesetzt werden kann, das dann mit der Vergußmasse ausgefüllt wird, die vorzugs­weise aus einem dauerelastischen Werkstoff gebildet wird.To hold the solenoid of the resonant circuit and the ferrite ring connected to the solenoid can be embedded in an electrically insulating potting compound, the solenoid with the ferrite ring can first be inserted into a plastic housing, which is then filled with the potting compound, which preferably consists of a permanently elastic material is formed.

In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand bei­spielsweise dargestellt. Es zeigen
Fig. 1 eine Hohlladung mit einer Zylinderspule eines er­findungsgemäßen Annäherungsschalters in einem sche­matischen Axialschnitt und
Fig. 2 den Querschnitt der Zylinderspule des Schwingkreises des Annäherungsschalters in einem größeren Maßstab. Gemäß Fig. 1 besteht die dargestellte Hohlladung aus einem Kunststoffgehäuse 1, das mit Sprengstoff 2 gefüllt ist und zielseitig durch einen metallischen Hohlkörper 3 übli­cherweise in Form eines Hohlkegels abgeschlossen ist. Das Gehäuse 1 bildet dabei eine ringförmige Aufnahme 4 für die Zylinderspule 5 eines nicht näher dargestellten Schwing­kreises eines Annäherungsschalters zum Zünden der Hohlla­dung. Diese Zylinderspule 5 ist mit einer elektrostatischen Schirmung 6 versehen und auf ihrer vom Ziel abgewandten Seite mit einem koaxialen Ferritring 7 veschiebefest ver­bunden. Zur Verbindung des Ferritringes 7 und der Zylinder­spule 5 dient eine Klebeschicht 8, die zugleich eine elek­trische Isolierung zwischen dem Ferritring 7 und der elek­trostatischen Schirmung 6 bzw. der Zylinderspule 5 ergibt. Die mit dem Ferritring 7 verbundene Zylinderspule 5 des An­näherungsschalters ist innerhalb der ringförmigen Aufnahme 4 des Kunststoffgehäuses 1 in eine dauerelastische Vergußmasse 9 eingebettet, was eine gute Halterung der Zylinderspule 5 mit dem Ferritring 7 sicherstellt.The subject matter of the invention is shown in the drawing, for example. Show it
Fig. 1 is a shaped charge with a solenoid of a proximity switch according to the invention in a schematic axial section and
Fig. 2 shows the cross section of the solenoid of the resonant circuit of the proximity switch on a larger scale. 1, the shaped charge shown consists of a plastic housing 1, which is filled with explosive 2 and is terminated on the target side by a metallic hollow body 3, usually in the form of a hollow cone. The housing 1 forms an annular receptacle 4 for the solenoid 5 of a resonant circuit, not shown, of a proximity switch for igniting the shaped charge. This solenoid 5 is with an electrostatic Provide shielding 6 and connected on its side facing away from the target with a coaxial ferrite ring 7 fixed against displacement. An adhesive layer 8 is used to connect the ferrite ring 7 and the solenoid 5, which at the same time provides electrical insulation between the ferrite ring 7 and the electrostatic shield 6 or the solenoid 5. The solenoid 5 connected to the ferrite ring 7 of the proximity switch is embedded within the annular receptacle 4 of the plastic housing 1 in a permanently elastic casting compound 9, which ensures that the solenoid 5 is held well with the ferrite ring 7.

Da der Ferritring 7 einen gegenüber Luft sehr kleinen magnetischen Widerstand aufweist, schließen sich die Feld­linien des durch die Zylinderspule 5 des Schwingkreises erregten elektromagnetischen Feldes über diesen Ferritring 7, so daß der metallische Hohlkörper 3 der Hohlladung in einem im wesentlichen feldfreien Raum liegt. In dem me­tallischen Hohlkörper 3 können daher keine den Schwing­kreis in unzulässiger Weise dämpfenden Wirbelströme indu­ziert werden. Die Induktion von Wirbelströmen im Ferrit­ring 7 kann ohne Schwierigkeiten auf einen zulässigen Wert begrenzt werden, weil der Werkstoff für den Ferritring 7 eine hohe Permeabilität und einen vergleichsweise großen spezifischen Ohmschen Widerstand aufweisen kann, der die Induktion größerer Wirbelströme unterbindet und damit die Bedämpfung des Schwingkreises in einem vertretbaren Bereich hält. Trotz des Ferritringes 7 auf der dem Ziel abgekehrten Seite der Zylinderspule 6 kann sich somit ein ausreichend großes Spulenfeld in Richtung des Zieles ausbilden, das bei einer Zielannäherung durch das Ziel verändert wird, so daß die damit verbundene Verstimmung des Schwingkreises des An­näherungsschalters zum Zünden der Hohlladung ausgenützt werden kann.Since the ferrite ring 7 has a very small magnetic resistance to air, the field lines of the electromagnetic field excited by the solenoid 5 of the resonant circuit close via this ferrite ring 7, so that the metallic hollow body 3 of the shaped charge lies in an essentially field-free space. In the metallic hollow body 3, therefore, no eddy currents which dampen the resonant circuit in an impermissible manner can be induced. The induction of eddy currents in the ferrite ring 7 can be limited to an admissible value without difficulty because the material for the ferrite ring 7 can have a high permeability and a comparatively large specific ohmic resistance, which prevents the induction of larger eddy currents and thus the damping of the resonant circuit in an acceptable area. Despite the ferrite ring 7 on the side of the solenoid 6 facing away from the target, a sufficiently large coil field can thus form in the direction of the target, which is changed by the target when the target approaches, so that the associated detuning of the resonant circuit of the proximity switch for igniting the shaped charge can be exploited.

Obwohl sich erfindungsgemäße Annäherungsschalter mit besonderem Vorteil bei Hohlladungen für Minen einsetzen lassen, ist die Erfindung selbstverständlich nicht auf diesen Anwendungsfall beschränkt. Mit Hohlladungen ver­sehene Flugkörper, Granaten und Geschoße können ebenfalls mit solchen Annäherungsschaltern versehen werden, wenn es gilt, die Hohlladung in einem bestimmten Abstand vom Ziel zu zünden.Although proximity switches according to the invention can be used with particular advantage in the case of shaped charges for mines, the invention is of course not limited to limited this use case. Missiles, grenades and projectiles with shaped charges can also be provided with such proximity switches if the shaped charge needs to be detonated at a certain distance from the target.
