Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a sabot projectile according to the preamble of main claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sabot projectile produced by this method.
  • a sub-caliber wing-stabilized sabot projectile in which the sabot has a sealing covering made of vulcanized-on rubber or rubber applied to the rear gas pressure-receiving surface.
  • the sabot projectile is placed in a vulcanization tool with an appropriate injection mold.
  • the injection mold leaves a thin circular disk-shaped cavity on the rear gas pressure receiving surface of the sabot for the heated sealing material injected in liquid form and seals the sabot on its rear outer circumference and the projectile body over its circumference at a corresponding distance (e.g. 3 up to 8 mm) from the rear gas pressure receiving surface of the sabot.
  • the sealing covering fixes the sabot segments in their rear area and seals the joints of the sabot segments against the gas pressure of the propellant gases.
  • the liquid sealing compound is usually injected into the injection mold at a high pressure of, for example, 1000 to 1500 bar via a laterally arranged filling opening. After that, the sabot remains at Vulcanization, ie to solidify the rubber mass, for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes at a corresponding temperature of, for example, 150 ° C. in the injection mold or in the vulcanization tool.
  • the contact surfaces of the individual elements can practically never be 100% realized due to permissible dimensional tolerances, it can happen when the rubber compound is injected that the liquid material injected at high pressure is uncontrolled into the possibly existing thin gaps between the components penetrates and becomes visible as a thin rubber skin (eg less than 0.1 mm thick) after removing the sabot from the vulcanization tool.
  • This skin can be found in the outer areas, i.e. the contact surfaces with the injection mold on the outer circumference of the projectile body or the outer circumference of the sabot are easily removed and removed. However, this is not possible in the inner cylindrical annular gap between the sabot segments and the projectile body.
  • the liquid material may have penetrated irregularly depending on the gap width and injection pressure, this can result in adverse effects in terms of dimensional accuracy and in the detachment of the sabot segments from the projectile body after firing or after leaving the weapon barrel muzzle; this leads to an uneven detachment of the sabot segments and to a reduction in the quality of the image.
  • a sabot projectile produced by the method according to the invention is characterized by the features specified in Claim 2.
  • a sabot projectile is already known, in which a sealing ring between sabot and projectile body is used.
  • This sealing ring is inserted in the rear area of the sabot in an inner circumferential annular groove in the sabot segments and is used only for gas sealing between sabot segments and the body circumference.
  • the gas sealing of the sabot segments with each other takes place via elongated sealing elements which are inserted into corresponding grooves arranged in the butt joints or parting planes between the individual sabot segments.
  • a uniform sealing coating sprayed or vulcanized onto the rear gas pressure receiving surface of the sabot in a special injection mold is not available here, so that the problems and the solution features of the present invention cannot be suggested by this known sabot projectile.
  • the sealing ring By sealing the inner gap between the circumference of the projectile body and the rear gas pressure receiving surface of the sabot (inner bore for receiving the projectile body) by means of a simple sealing ring, the penetration of liquid soft rubber or silicone rubber when the sealing material is injected or at the high vulcanization pressure of around 1500 becomes very advantageous bar prevented with certainty.
  • an inexpensive way to seal the gap 100 percent without design changes to the sabot, projectile body or spray chamber is specified. This is not a disadvantage Tensioning of the sabot and projectile body more possible.
  • the sealing ring very advantageously combines with the injected sealing material to form a unit.
  • a sabot projectile with a balancing projectile body 11 of high slenderness and a sabot 12, for example in the caliber 105 mm or 120 mm, is shown in FIG. 1.
  • a wing or perforated cone tail is usually attached at the end of the balancing projectile body, which is not shown in the drawing.
  • the sabot is positively via a positive-locking zone 14, for example, a thread toothing with the balancing projectile body 11, which as a training projectile z. B. made of steel or as a missile z. B. consists of tungsten material connected.
  • the sabot 12 has a retaining band 15 in the front area of its circumferential surface and a guide band 16 in the rear area.
  • a uniform sealing coating 19 is vulcanized to seal the joints between the sabot segments and the annular gap around the circumference of the projectile body 11 against the gas pressure of the propellant gases.
  • an annular bead 21 is provided on the circumference of the projectile body 11 directly behind the positive-locking zone 14.
  • a sealing ring 22 on the circumference of the projectile body 11 directly on or in front of the rear gas pressure receiving surface 18 of the sabot 12 can be seen from the enlarged illustration in FIG. 2.
  • This sealing ring 22 prevents the penetration of liquid silicone rubber into the cylindrical annular gap between the sabot and the surface of the projectile body in the injection mold or in the vulcanization tool.
  • the sealing ring 22 is covered by the sealing compound and subsequently vulcanized into the latter.
  • the sealing ring 22 preferably has a circular cross section, since this results in the best fit in the circumferential joint in front of the annular gap; however, the sealing ring can also have a suitable other cross section (square, oval, triangular).
  • the sealing covering 19 and the sealing ring 22 tear along the parting planes (parting lines) of the sabot segments and the sealing covering 19 from the peripheral surface of the projectile body.
