Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements apportés aux armes sans recul, tirables depuis un espace partiellement confiné et protégé, ainsi qu'à toutes les armes dont on veut limiter les effets ergonomiques d'environnement dûs au bruit, au choc, à la toxicité ou à la "signature" des gaz de propulsion.The present invention relates to improvements made to recoilless weapons, which can be fired from a partially confined and protected space, as well as to all weapons for which it is desired to limit the ergonomic effects of the environment due to noise, shock, toxicity or the "signature" of the propellants.
Lors du tir d'un projectile, l'accélération est pratiquement toujours assurée par les effets de combustion d'une poudre. Lorsque les gaz générés par cette combustion (qui comprend au moins deux étapes : combustion puis détente, selon les lois connues de la thermodynamique), sortent de l'enceinte dans laquelle se produit le phénomène (tube de lancement, propulseur à tuyère, gargousse, "chambre" ...) (cas général usuel), ils créent des contraintes. Ces contraintes sont, en particulier, outre l'impulsion de recul :
- le bruit et les effets mécaniques de l'onde de pression ;
- la lueur (repérable par l'ennemi) ;
- les fumées nocives ;
- les effets thermiques ;
- la toxicité éventuelle des gaz produits.When firing a projectile, acceleration is almost always ensured by the combustion effects of a powder. When the gases generated by this combustion (which includes at least two stages: combustion then expansion, according to the known laws of thermodynamics), leave the enclosure in which the phenomenon occurs (launch tube, nozzle propellant, gargoyle, "room" ...) (usual general case), they create constraints. These constraints are, in particular, in addition to the backward impulse:
- noise and mechanical effects of the pressure wave;
- glow (detectable by the enemy);
- harmful fumes;
- thermal effects;
- the possible toxicity of the gases produced.
L'invention permet de supprimer ces inconvénients.The invention overcomes these drawbacks.
Elle peut notamment s'appliquer aux armes décrites dans les brevets suivants de la demanderesse : brevet français No79 28 780 déposé le 22 Novembre 1979, brevet français No 82 17 460 déposé le 19 Octobre 1982 et sa première addition No 85 06 939 du 7 Mai l985.It is particularly applicable to weapons described in the following patents of the applicant: French Patent No. 79 28 780 filed November 22, 1979, French Patent No. 82 17 460 filed October 19, 1982 and its first addition No. 85 06 939 of May 7, l985.
Ces publications décrivent une arme lanceur sans recul de projectiles, comportant une gargousse propulsive, placée en position centrale dans un tube et interposée entre d'une part le projectile et d'autre part un lest qui assure la compensation de l'impulsion de recul provoquée par le lancement du projectile.These publications describe a launching weapon without projectile recoil, comprising a propellant gargousse, placed in a central position in a tube and interposed between on the one hand the projectile and on the other hand a ballast which provides compensation for the recoil pulse caused by launching the projectile.

Le tube de lancement 1 de l'arme, figure 1, est préférentiellement réalisé en matériau composite, à base de fibre de verre, aramide, carbone ..., mis en oeuvre soit par enroulement filamentaire, soit par injection sur "tresse", soit par "pultrusion". Bien entendu, ce tube 1 peut aussi être réalisé en métal, tissu, structure "sandwich", ou tout autre.The weapon's launch tube 1, FIG. 1, is preferably made of composite material, based on glass fiber, aramid, carbon, etc., used either by filament winding, or by injection on a "braid", either by "pultrusion". Of course, this tube 1 can also be made of metal, fabric, "sandwich" structure, or any other.
Le tube de lancement 1 est équipé, en particulier d'un dispositif demise à feu 2, qui est préférentiellement soit à percussion, engendrant l'allumage de la gargousse 4 par percussion d'une amorce 11, soit à impulsion électrique, engendrant l'allumage de la gargousse 4 par décharge de pile dans un inflammateur 11, directement ou au travers d'un condensateur ou d'un élévateur de tension. Bien entendu, ce dispositif peut être d'un tout autre type (piézo-électrique, optoélectronique, ...) sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The launch tube 1 is equipped, in particular with a
Le tube de lancement 1 de l'arme contient le projectile 3, d'une part et le lest divisé 5 d'autre part, ledit lest 5 jouant le rôle d'un piston arrière ; le projectile 3 et le lest 5, selon l'invention, délimitent la chambre centrale 22 de combustion dans laquelle est logée la gargousse 4.The launch tube 1 of the weapon contains the
Le projectile 3 comporte l'ogive contacteur 6, la charge militaire 7, la fusée à sécurités 8, le culot du corps arrière 9, l'empennage, de préférence déployable, 10. Selon une des caractéristiques de l'invention, le culot du corps arrière 9 peut être creux d'où un meilleur réglage possible de la chambre centrale de combustion 22 selon l'invention, pour la gargousse 4, sans savoir à allonger le tube de lancement 1, ni réduire la stabilité (marge statique) du projectile.The
Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le projectile 3 peut aussi comprendre tout autre équipement : capteur de détection ou de localisation, charge propulsive, guidage, déclencheur d'un fonctionnement subséquent, système pour attaque en survol, etc.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the
La gargousse 4 comprend une amorce ou un inflammateur 11, le propergol 12 contenu dans un étui 13 et un confinement selon l'invention en matière compressible 14 (par exemple, matériaux expansés ou mousse de polyéthylène, de polyuréthane, PVC, ...). C'est ce confinement qui assure, selon l'invention, l'évolutiohn préétablie du volume de la chambre centrale 22 de la gargousse 4 ; sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, la gargousse peut être introduite dans une poche extérieure 15, pour compléter ce confinement.The
Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, la gargousse 4 peut disposer d'une autre organisation lui assurant son caractère original d'être à volume évolutif.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the
Le lest divisé 5 comprend selon l'invention, un fagot de fils 16 (par exemple fils de polyamide, de polyéthylène, ...). Ces fils sont assemblés en tête 17, préférentiellement par soudure, collage, inhibage, serrage ...The divided
Le lest divisé 5 selon l'invention peut aussi comprendre une semelle en matériau souple 18 (réalisée par exemple par trempage ou surmoulage, dans une résine polyuréthane, silicone ...), dans le but d'améliorer l'étanchéité arrière de la chambre de combustion de ladite gargousse 4, après éclatement de son confinement.The divided
Selon les figures 1 et 2 :According to Figures 1 and 2:
Le propergol 12 est allumé et a engendré des gaz, après l'initiation de l'amorce ou de l'inflammateur 11.The
La paroi interne 19 du confinement compressible 20 est alors dilatée, et ledit confinement 20 est comprimé et résiste à l'élévation de pression interne.The
Ainsi, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de retarder d'une manière préétablie l'accroissement de pression dans la chambre centrale 22, l'élévation et l'expansion des particules de propergol dans la chambre centrale, de volume variable, située entre le projectile 3 et le lest 5. Il assure notamment un meilleur allumage de l'ensemble des particules de propergol. Il en résulte un meilleur rendement du système et une meilleure reproductibilité des vitesses d'éjection du projectile.Thus, the device according to the invention makes it possible to delay in a pre-established manner the increase in pressure in the
Selon les figures 1 et 3 :According to Figures 1 and 3:
La combustion du propergol 12 contenu dans la gargousse 4 a engendré des gaz qui remplissent ladite chambre centrale 22 selon l'invention ; ces gaz propulsent le projectile 3 et le lest 5 selon la loi de variation des quantités de mouvement.The combustion of the
La bonne tenue axiale des fils 16 du lest 5 selon l'invention permet une sortie régulière et axialisée dudit lest.The good axial strength of the
Enfin, en se référant à la figure 4, on observe, à gauche, que le projectile 3 sort du tube 1, et que son empennage 10 se déploie.Finally, with reference to FIG. 4, it can be seen, on the left, that the
Du côté droit du dessin, on voit que le lest 5 sort aussi du tube, se déploie et éclate sous l'effet aérodynamique. La grande portance des fils 16 du lest selon l'inveniton assure, selon l'invention, un freinage rapide et une dispersion radiale satisfaisante.On the right side of the drawing, we see that the
Dans le cadres d'un tir avec un obstacle arrière placé à courte distance (2 ou 3 mètres par exemple), le rebondissement de ces fils 16 est très limité et ne peut blesser le tireur ; la zone de danger en arrière de l'arme selon l'invention est donc très réduite.In the context of a shot with a rear obstacle placed at a short distance (2 or 3 meters for example), the rebound of these
En définitive, l'arme selon l'invention permet d'avoir des effets faibles sur l'environnement, d'où, outre la compensation du recul par le moyen original et efficace des fils 16 selon l'invention :
- peu de bruit ;
- peu de fumée ;
- peu de gaz toxique ;
- peu d'effets mécaniques arrière.Ultimately, the weapon according to the invention makes it possible to have weak effects on the environment, hence, in addition to compensating for recoil by the original and effective means of the
- little noise;
- little smoke;
- little toxic gas;
- few mechanical rear effects.
Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits ci-dessus mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes.It remains to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above but that it encompasses all variants thereof.
