Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fragment jacket for an explosive body, in particular for a projectile, a grenade or a mine, with a one-piece hollow body provided with predetermined breaking points.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such a splinter jacket.
  • the splinter jacket is usually provided with predetermined breaking points.
  • predetermined breaking points designed as grooves in the splinter jacket, the possible total mass of the splinter jacket (in relation to its size) is somewhat lost.
  • a splinter jacket which consists of rings with a rectangular cross-section arranged on a support body and lying snugly against one another.
  • DE-U1-84 27 781.5 shows a warhead with cracks arranged in the warhead housing, which have arisen from grooves milled into the wall of the warhead housing by upsetting the warhead housing.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a splinter jacket of the type described above, which can be produced much more efficiently with considerably less work.
  • the solution idea is to slit the hollow body at least in one batch through at least one separating cut forming a separating gap, the separating cut being made in such a way that the hollow body remains as an integral structure.
  • the separating cut surfaces adjacent to one another in the separating gap are brought into contact with one another and fixed to one another in contact.
  • FIG. 1 The hollow cylinder 1 shown therein has constant wall thickness.
  • the separating cut 5 is carried out by a metal cutting device, for example by a laser or plasma cutting device.
  • the separating cut 5 can also be carried out in another way, for example by means of a mechanical cutting device.
  • the gap formed between the turns is shown greatly enlarged in FIG. 1 by pulling the turns 6 apart. In reality, the gap width when making the separating cut using a laser cutting device is only approximately 0.15-0.3 mm.
  • a small hole 7 with an at least approximately round cross section can be provided there.
  • the hollow cylinder 1 In the collapsed state, the hollow cylinder 1 is under a certain elastic tension. So that it remains in this state, it must be fixed in this state. This can be done in a simple manner by welding adjacent cutting edges of the separating cut 5, as is shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, a weld seam made on the outer circumference and running continuously along the separating cut is designated by 8.
  • the hollow cylinder cut open by the separating cut becomes an inherently stable body which is directly suitable for receiving an explosive charge without additional reinforcing elements.
  • FIG. 5 Another possibility of fixing the hollow cylinder in the collapsed state is to use a support sleeve.
  • a support sleeve In Fig. 5 an inner support sleeve 10 is shown.
  • the hollow cylinder 1 is on the support sleeve on the one hand by an outwardly projecting shoulder 11 of the support sleeve 10 in the right part of FIG. 5 and on the other hand by a web on the support sleeve 10 in the left part of FIG. 5 which engages in an internal groove 12 in the hollow cylinder fixed.
  • the support sleeve 10 preferably consists of a relatively easily deformable material, such as aluminum, and is pressed into the hollow cylinder under pressure (the material flowing into the groove in the hollow cylinder).
  • the support sleeve can also be designed as an outer sleeve (not shown).
  • the stability of the hollow cylinder 1 is substantially increased by the support sleeve 10.
  • the support sleeve 10 requires a certain volume by which an explosive device to be inserted into the hollow cylinder 1 must be made smaller.
  • the welding solution itself is therefore preferable.
  • FIG. 6 shows in section a hollow body 1, only half shown, according to FIG. 2, in which, however, the separating cut 5 is for the most part oriented obliquely to its surface. This can be used, for example, for spatial distribution the pressure wave arising during the detonation of the explosive device is taken into account.
  • FIG. 7 shows a hollow body, according to FIG. 2, in which, however, the separating cut 5 is partially zigzag-shaped or wavy. Such a configuration of the separating cut 5 achieves a certain toothing of the individual turns 6 which increases the stability of the hollow body.
  • FIG. 9 shows in section a hollow body 1, only half shown, according to FIG. 2, in which, however, the pitch of the windings 6 is not constant, but rather decreases from the center 4 towards the outside (towards the end parts 2, 3).
  • the spatial distribution of the pressure wave which arises during the detonation of the explosive device can also be taken into account in this way.
  • FIG. 10 shows a hollow body 1 according to FIG. 2, in which two helical, mutually non-overlapping separating cuts 5 ', 5 ⁇ are provided. It is also possible to make the separating cuts as single or multi-start screw lines. In addition, the separating cuts can be made with interruptions instead of the welded connections (8 or 9 in Fig. 7 or 8).
  • FIG. 11 shows a splinter jacket which is designed as a predominantly cylindrical sleeve 13 with a base part 14 designed as a fastening element for an ignition head.
  • a hollow body is preferably produced prior to the attachment of the separating cut 5 by hot and / or cold massive forming or in the deep-drawing process, the fastening element for the igniter head also being molded at the same time.
  • the separating cut 5 ends or begins at a distance from the left-hand opening of the bush on the one hand and from its bottom part 14 on the other hand.
  • grooves 15 and 16 tapering at an acute angle are incorporated as predetermined breaking points.
  • the grooves can be formed at the same time using the aforementioned manufacturing techniques. Instead of axially, the grooves can also run helically, for example. In general, they should run substantially perpendicular to the cut or cuts.
  • the design of the hollow body is in no way limited to hollow cylinders.
  • the invention can also be used without problems in the case of conical, frustoconical, spherical, egg-shaped, plate-shaped or grenade-shaped hollow bodies, an embodiment both with or without a support sleeve being possible.
  • the hollow bodies do not necessarily have to be rotationally symmetrical. Hollow bodies that are open, open only at one location or on one side or completely closed can be used at two locations.
  • the hollow body thus created which is provided with a winding section, can also be used as a spring for other purposes, for example with appropriate thermal treatment. All materials can be used which can be cut using a suitable method.
