Definitions

  • the invention relates to a propellant charge consisting of grains of powder, intended for the propulsion of projectiles in particular with kinetic energy under calibrated of the large caliber arrow type.
  • These munitions are known to perforate targets by mechanical effect thanks to the kinetic energy delivered on impact. Therefore, in a given weapon system, therefore for a known firing pressure, this ammunition is asked to have the highest possible initial speed.
  • studies of these munitions lead to the finest possible optimization of the projectile itself and of each sub-assembly making up its propulsive system (powder, ignition, etc.).
  • the mechanical strength of the towed part is essentially linked to the value of these transverse stresses.
  • the maximum value of these constraints must be limited to the maximum so that the towed part retains its integrity at the outlet of the launching tube.
  • One of the aims of the invention consists in solving the problem of the mechanical strength of the tail unit by reducing the transverse stresses to which it is subjected.
  • the subject of the invention is a propellant charge consisting of powder, for example in the form of grains, intended for the propulsion of sub-calibrated kinetic energy projectiles of the large caliber arrow type and placed inside a socket of revolution.
  • metallic or not comprising at one end a base and at the other end the projectile, charging characterized in that it comprises holding means ensuring its compactness and its symmetry with respect to the axis of revolution of the sleeve and in that that these holding means make it possible to compact the propellant charge towards the base of the case, leaving a vacuum between the tail of the arrow-type projectile and the charge.
  • the invention relates to a propellant charge consisting of powder, for example in the form of grains, intended for the propulsion of under-calibrated kinetic energy projectiles of the large caliber arrow type and placed inside.
  • a metallic or non-metallic revolution bushing comprising at one end a base and at the other end the projectile, loading characterized in that it comprises holding means ensuring its compactness and its symmetry with respect to the axis of revolution of the sleeve and in that these holding means make it possible to compact the propellant charge towards the projectile, leaving a vacuum between the base of the sleeve and the charge.
  • the invention relates to a propellant charge consisting of powder, for example in the form of grains, intended for the propulsion of under-calibrated kinetic energy projectiles of the large caliber arrow type and disposed at the inside of a metallic or non-metallic revolution socket comprising at one end a base and at the other end the projectile, loading characterized in that it comprises holding means ensuring its compactness and its symmetry with respect to the axis of revolution of the sleeve and in that these holding means make it possible to compact the propellant charge around the axis of revolution of the sleeve, leaving a vacuum between the sleeve and the charge and / or between the igniter and the charge.
  • the holding means can be constituted by a binder disposed between the grains of powder.
  • the holding means can be made of a material chosen, for example, from: cardboard, nitrocellulose or expanded polystyrene.
  • the holding means may consist of a perforated metal sheet.
  • the holding means may include a wedging disposed at the rear of the projectile so that the load is applied towards the base of the case.
  • the holding means may include a wedging disposed at the base of the sleeve so that the load is applied towards the projectile.
  • the holding means may comprise an envelope of revolution placed longitudinally in the sleeve so that the load is disposed inside this envelope.
  • the holding means may comprise an envelope of revolution placed longitudinally in the sleeve so that the load is disposed outside of this envelope.
  • the envelope of revolution can be cylindrical.
  • Figure 1 shows a munition according to the state of the art station in a launch tube 1; it consists of an arrow sub-projectile 2 comprising an elongated bar made of heavy material and a stabilizing stabilizer 3.
  • the arrow sub-projectile 2 is guided and propelled into the launching tube 1 by a shoe 4.
  • the ammunition also includes a socket 5 to the base of which is fixed a primer holder igniter tube 6. This socket contains the propellant charge 7 consisting of loose powder.
  • the powder forms, by gravitation, an inclined powder bed 8 making the propellant charge asymmetrical.
  • the primer-carrying tube 6 ignites the propellant charge 7 by developing pressure waves moving in the direction represented by the arrow 9.
  • the pressure wave is disturbed by the asymmetry of the propellant charge and generated a force T1 substantially perpendicular to the powder bed.
  • This force T1 combined with the traction force T2, due to the inertia of the towed part of the projectile, subjects the tail of the arrow to a resulting force T3 which in the particular case of this figure is substantially perpendicular to the axis of revolution of ammunition.
  • This T3 effort tends to bend the projectile, which can have harmful consequences which can range from partial deterioration to complete rupture of the tail
  • FIG. 2 shows a munition of the type described above. However, an important modification concerning the propellant charge 7 has been made.
  • a wedging has been arranged at the front of the load, isolating the latter from the tail of the boom, and now compacting it towards the rear of the sleeve 5 so as to maintain its symmetry during the various manipulations of the ammunition before and when it is stationed.
  • the setting is carried out using a disc 10 which can, for example, consist of a block of expanded polystyrene, a cardboard or nitrocellulose plate or, a perforated metal plate.
  • the setting mode represented in FIG. 3 is said to be of the rear type.
  • the wedge 11 is disposed at the rear of the propellant charge, leaving a free space 12 at the base of the socket.
  • Figure 4 shows the combination of the two variants described above.
  • the so-called mixed timing is carried out both at the front of the load using the wedge 10, and at the rear with the wedge 11.
  • FIG. 5 Another alternative setting is shown in Figure 5.
  • the load is contained in a thin cylindrical tube 13 made of inert or combustible material such as for example celluloid, nitrocellulose or cardboard.
  • This type of configuration also requires a front setting (Figure 5), a rear setting ( Figure 6) or a mixed setting (Figure 7).
  • the propellant charge is placed outside the cylindrical tube 13.
  • All the examples described above can also be produced from propellant charges made up of grains of powder coated with a binder so as to ensure the compactness of the load.
  • Two pressure sensors were placed in zones A and B respectively located at the level of the base of the socket and near the rear of the launching shoe.
