Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sabot according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a front-side first part of the sabot is essentially collar-shaped from four identical segments, which in the area of parting lines in a respective receptacle has a prestressed compression spring that can be relieved against the neighboring parting surface for detachment from the flight floor.
  • a rear part of the sabot is provided with a projecting receptacle of an annular cross-section for the missile in such a way that the projection engages in the center of a rear opening of the missile.
  • This known sabot has a number of disadvantages.
  • forces acting frontally against the direction of acceleration must cooperate essentially equally with the forces from the compression springs. This results in an unmistakable sensitivity of the arrangement, which greatly affects the handling.
  • wedging can occur in the first part in such a way that subsequent acceleration of the overall arrangement cannot be achieved.
  • the usability under conditions given by a combat mission is impaired until it is completely lost and is not given at all for use in connection with barrel weapons.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic object, the handling and usability is guaranteed even with indispensable cadence and thereby also allows use in a barrel weapon with trouble-free detachment from the missile.
  • the fulfillment of these requirements is regarded as an essential prerequisite for the suitability for use against fast-moving targets, e.g. missiles and fighter jets, even at a great distance, whereby a carrier system can be opaque both at earth-bound and at a greater height above the earth's surface under different conditions .
  • combating fast targets close to the ground also plays an important role in ground-air operations.
  • the carrier should be considered to have a corresponding aircraft with operational mobility as well as a satellite.
  • DE-OS 29 51 904 is a sabot for a sub-caliber missile is known, which is also designed with the goal of having only a comparatively low dead weight, but it requires elements above the floor circumference area to ensure a mutual positive engagement in the direction of acceleration in the pipe passage. Such or a comparable measure would, however, in the context given here, lead to such a drastic increase in the drag coefficient that the associated drop in speed of the missile would result in the inability to use the latter to combat fast flight targets at great distances.
  • a sabot according to DE-OS 33 18 972 is also unsuitable for solving the problems on which the invention is based, since apart from the considerable weight, a trouble-free detachment from the missile designed for resistance stabilization cannot be guaranteed.
  • FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 essentially being simplified longitudinal-axial sections and in FIGS. 2 and 4 being cross-sections according to the respective line II - II and IV-IV in Figures 2 and 3 respectively. Substantially identical elements are provided with the same reference symbols.
  • a conical, rotationally symmetrical missile 10.1 with a large length / diameter ratio is arranged in a thin-walled, essentially sleeve-shaped sabot 20.
  • the outer wall of the sabot 20 is essentially circular-cylindrical and (see FIG. 2) has longitudinal slots 50 and 52, so that profiled elements surrounding the missile 10.1 form.
  • brackets 40 projecting radially inwards lie in the area of a center of gravity of the missile 18 of the peripheral surface 14 of the missile 10.1 in a holding area 41 and form a front centering receptacle 20.3.
  • a second centering receptacle 20.4 on the rear is provided in the region of the missile rear part 16 by a central pin 32 which engages on the rear side in a cavity 17 of the missile 10.1.
  • the sabot 20 is bounded at the back by a closed surface 54, in the vicinity of which the peripheral surface 28 has a radially deformable band-shaped element 68.
  • radially compressible elements 66 which can be connected to form a band for the purpose of better handling.
  • brackets 40 are provided with relatively small inflow surfaces 46 which are inclined inwards against the longitudinal axis A of the floor and which form the part of an air pocket 48 but at the same time passages (not specified in more detail) into a storage space 49 which extends between the peripheral surface 14 and the inner surface 30 .
  • a front part 10.10 of the flight projectile 10.1 is made of a high-density material, preferably thanks to a high proportion of tungsten, which is followed by a rear part 10.11 of comparatively lower apparent density. In this way, the center of gravity of the missile 18 lies sufficiently far in front of an air attack point (not shown) in the acceleration direction S. 3 differs from that according to FIG.
  • a screw-in element 60 with an external thread 62 has a circular-shaped receptacle for a rear surface 19 of the missile 10.3 on the front side, not designated in more detail, and is delimited on the rear side by a rear surface 58.
  • a thread circle shown in the rear surface 58 is covered by a compressible element 68, which extends on the front side beyond the centering and fixing area 36 and thus provides for a possibly required seal and for a sufficient radial contact pressure.
  • the radially compressible elements 66 which are assigned to the receptacle 24.3 on the front side, can, as already described in connection with the first exemplary embodiment, be connected to one another and formed in the manner of a band.
  • a front cone surface 76 on each of the drive cages shown facilitates the axial insertion of the respective arrangement in the starting position in a high-acceleration device.
  • the materials of the respective sabot are adapted in such a way that pressure forces due to acceleration, which are exerted by the respective missile, can be safely absorbed with the lowest possible dead load. If the arrangement according to the invention leaves the high-acceleration device in question, the interior 49 is already filled with air in such a way that, under the effect of the air now flowing in from outside, the propellant through the longitudinal slots 50 and 52 cage-shaped elements are pivoted lever-like in the direction of arrows K.
  • a region 37 of the sabot 24 advantageously proves to be a predetermined breaking point in such a way that the missile 10.3 can continue its movement in the S direction unhindered.
  • a smooth outer surface 14 of the missile 10.2 can be realized again, for example by an inertial body, not shown, which can move along the longitudinal axis A of the floor, or with the aid of fillers 72 which can be moved radially by springs.
  • Such frictional engagement elements 41 although not shown in the drawing, can also be arranged in the region of the first centering receptacle 24.3 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5. Since there is already a positive fit between the missile 10.3 and the sabot 24 in the centering receptacle 24.2 on the rear side, overdetermination can be avoided if the projection 44 is rigid due to its rigidity.
  • an opening path K assigned to the elements 71 (FIG. 3) is an arc with a large radius, an impairment of the behavior of the missile can be excluded.
  • the screw-in element 60 shown in FIG. 5 can advantageously have the outside diameter of the sabot 24 in its rear side area.
  • the area in question, with its rear boundary surface - in particular in the case of barrel weapons - can absorb the entire gas pressure and carries the sabot 24. This can significantly increase the strength behavior during high acceleration.
