Definitions
- the invention relates to an aerodynamic braking separation device particularly applicable for the base or the rear part of a projectile animated by a rapid rotational movement.
- This device is deployed on the trajectory of a carrier projectile, at a certain distance from the ground, and ensures the braking of this body.
- the main application of this device can be carried out on a projectile containing payloads and the release of which is effected by the separation of the front part and the rear part, kept in contact in particular by a pin system, thanks to the propulsion gas action located at the front of the projectile; the latter having taken place, the rear part of the projectile under the effect of aerodynamic forces tends to remain in the vicinity of the payload and thus risks causing discomfort during subsequent sequences: possibility of percussion with the payload preceding it . . . .
- another braking device for the rear part of a projectile used is a device comprising a braking element made of a fabric or a sheet of plastic material placed inside a cavity located in the rear part of the projectile and fixed to the latter by fixing means.
- the deployment of this braking element is caused by the rotation of the rear part.
- the disadvantages of this type of device are on the one hand, the bulk of the rear part of the projectile which thus limits the number of sub-munitions positioned inside the projectile, and on the other hand, its ineffectiveness in braking projectiles with a low speed of rotation.
- the main object of the invention is on the one hand to separate two bodies and on the other hand to brake at least part of a movable element while remedying the above disadvantages.
- the object of the invention is a device for separating between at least two bodies driven in a rotational movement, characterized in that blades made of a material ensuring plastic deformation, secured to at least one first body, are fixed , by one of their ends, at the periphery of said body by a fixing system so as to be arranged, before separation, at the periphery of said body and, during separation, deploy under the effect of forces centrifugal and aerodynamic ensuring the separation of the two bodies and the braking of the first body.

- - Fig.8 a diagram of application of the device on a body according to the invention.
- Fig.10 a diagram of a system for delaying the opening of the strips fixed to a submunition according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the rear part of a projectile before the separation phase.
- This projectile is provided with a braking device according to the invention.
- the projectile comprises a rear part 1, a front part 2, a payload 3, a sliding tube 5 on which are lamellas 4 and a support piece 6.
- the rear part 1 of the projectile is embedded, for example, in the front part 2 thereof in the recess 9 shown in this figure.
- the two parts 1 and 2 are kept in contact with each other by means of pins 12; this is where the front part 2 of the projectile is separated from the rear part 1.
- This separation is initialized, for example, thanks to the impulse caused by a gas generator located in the front part 2 of the projectile and not shown in the figure causing the pin 12 to break, thereby releasing the two front and rear parts of the projectile as well as the payloads contained inside the latter.
- a gas generator located in the front part 2 of the projectile and not shown in the figure causing the pin 12 to break, thereby releasing the two front and rear parts of the projectile as well as the payloads contained inside the latter.
- These strips 4 are arranged side by side inside the projectile thus forming a tube which can slide; they are also fixed at one of their ends to a tube 5 on which is placed a support piece 6; the shape of the latter is determined, for example, to include bosses serving to support the bottom of the payload 3; it is made, for example, from stamped sheet metal and its thickness is determined, for example, according to the resistance of the materials to avoid any deformation.
- the support part S is provided, for example, with one or more lugs 7 which come, during ejection, to brace on a shoulder 8 forming an integral part of the rear structure 1 of the projectile and allowing the lamellae 4 to fully play their role; these lugs 7 are made, for example, so that they are elastically erased during integration into the projectile when they pass in line with the shoulder 8; they can also be fixed, for example, on the lamellae (4) or on the tube (5) while retaining their function.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the rear part 1 of the projectile during the separation phase.
- the projectile when the projectile has left its launch tube, it is rotated around the axis OO '.
- the separation of the front structure 2 of the projectile and of its rear part 1 causes the payloads contained inside the projectile to be released.
- the front part 2 of the projectile is propelled forward by means of propellant gases; the latter exert a force on the rear of the projectile facilitating, for example, the separation of the two parts 1 and 2 of the projectile.
- the blades 4 are subjected to centrifugal force due to the rotation of the projectile. They thus exert a force which causes the start of separation between the rear part 1 and the payload 3.
- FIG. 3 represents a cross section of the rear part of the projectile after the separation phase.
- the device according to the invention having come to abut against the notches provided for this purpose, the strips 4 are subjected to centrifugal force because the projectile has been rotated in its launching phase; they deploy as a fan, by bending, as shown in Figure 3, the speed of the projectile also producing effects on the latter.
- FIG. 4 shows a fixing of the strips 4 according to another embodiment before the phase of separation of the front part 2 of the projectile and its rear part 1.
- the strips 4 are arranged side by side inside the projectile; they are housed between the rear part of the payload 3 and the rear part of the projectile 1; they are fixed at one of their ends 12, for example, by a fixed fixing system, for example, one can use rivets 13 which pass through the strips 4 and come to bear on the rear part 1 of the projectile.
- FIG. 5 represents the fixing system, previously described according to FIG. 4, after the separation of the front part 1 of the projectile and its rear part 2. Slats 4 fixed on the rear part 1, during the ejection of the front part 2 of the projectile, deploy and take the position shown in FIG. 5.
- the non-fixed end 14 of the strips 4 comes to bear on the recess 9 of the rear part 1; it is at this moment that the lamellae 4 begin to play, on the one hand, their role of separation thanks to the action of the auto-rotation forces on the lamellae which causes the creation of a pushing force on the front part 1 thus facilitating the separation of the front part 1 and the rear part 2, and on the other hand, their braking role thus allowing the payload 3 contained inside the projectile to be moved away from its rear part 1.
- FIG. 6 shows a fixing of the strips 4 according to another embodiment after the phase of separation of the front part 2 of the projectile from its rear part 1.
- the strips 4 have the same arrangement as in the preceding description; the difference is in the fixing system; they are fixed, for example, to a mobile fixing system, for example, an axially sliding fixing which can be produced, for example, by a spiral spring 15 whose large coil 16 is fixed to the rear part 1 of the projectile, by example, by studs 17; the central turn 18 is fixed to the strips 4, for example, by a plate 19 provided with two rivets 20.
- the central turn 18, which superimposed the large turn 16 moves longitudinally in the direction OO 'and, stabilizes in the position shown in this figure 6 so that part 21 of the lamellae 4 lies in a plane perpendicular to the turn central 18 as well as to the direction OO '.
- the slats 4 then fulfill the function which has been described previously.
- Figure 7 shows the deployment of the slats 4 according to the invention. These strips 4 are arranged either in a layer, which, in this case, causes the latter to spread out as a fan, as shown by the strips 4 in solid lines in FIG. 7, or in several layers, which makes it possible to obtain continuous ring deployment.
- two layers of lamellae were used: the first being drawn in solid lines 4, the other 11 in dotted lines.
- the two sets of strips each forming a tube in the rest state inside the projectile are offset by a certain angle in order to obtain the largest possible braking surface; the latter is obtained when the spaces 11 between the strips 4 of the first thickness are covered by the strips 10 of the second thickness.
- the shaping of these strips is given by the rotational movement of the projectile acquired at launch.
- the strips 4 are located next to each other and form a tube inside the projectile when they are distributed around the payload 3. They are relatively thin and are made, for example, of metallic or plastic material.
- the shape of these strips 4 is, for example, that of a flat rectangle whose width and length give their orientation which is defined by the ratio
- Width limit the risk of vibration due to the fact that the aerodynamic profile of the slats is unstable at high incidence.
- the aerodynamic thrust center of the slats 4 can be offset. This can be done, for example, by cutting, by sealing, and by bending one of the edges thereof; in this way, a stable angular setting is obtained with respect to the rotation as well as a roll moment modifying the roll law of the braked part in borrowing energy from the axial movement which contributes to increasing the efficiency of the device.
- the device operates without the use of an extractor system and only undergoes disturbances due to its surroundings. It can even be used in the case where, for example, the payload 3 of the projectile has air brakes fixed on its rear part and opening under the influence of centrifugal force; these, during insertion inside the projectile before the separation and launching phase, can rest on the tube 5 which prevents them from rubbing against the rear part 1 during the sliding of the assembly 4 , 5, 6 on the latter 1. As a result, the relief stroke with friction of the airbrakes is considerably reduced.
- FIG. 8 represents another application of the lamella braking device according to the invention.
- the lamellae (4) are positioned, by one of their ends (22), on a body (23), for example, by embedding the latter in the structure of the body, so that, during the deployment of the strips (4), as shown in the figure, each of them comes to bear on the rim (24) of the body considered in order to allow them to fully play their role, namely: the body being set in rotation, the aerodynamic effects due to the speed of the projectile and the centrifugal forces exerted on the lamellae, the lamellae are positioned according to, for example, an angle c ⁇ considerably increasing the aerodynamic drag and therefore braking the body.
- the slats (4) will be fixed at the other end (25), for example, by a system of pins (26) which makes it possible to keep the slats in contact with the body to initially increase the piercing of the body in the air and then decrease the bulk; this system for fixing the end (25) of the slats (4), for positioning the slats (4) along the body, can be achieved in particular by a control system providing for unlocking of the fastening system at a precise calculated time beforehand.
- the aerodynamic forces act on the tear-off sockets formed, for example, by the pins, the latter are torn off freely leaving the blades (4) deploying fulfilling their braking function.
- the arrangement of the lamellae (4) described in FIG. 7 as well as any other method of fixing the lamellae to a body could be envisaged in the application of the braking device which has just been previously described.
- This device according to the invention applies to any body driven by a high speed of rotation and remains effective for speeds of rotation which decrease because once deployed the device remains substantially in this position.
- the invention can be applied in particular to any braking of a body in replacement of a braking stage as well as to pyrotechnic devices, for example military ones such as illuminants or infrared which must be braked before the start of their phase. operational.
- the invention can also be applied to submunitions embedded in a projectile. Indeed, in order to disperse each submunition after its ejection from the projectile, the device according to the invention can be fixed on each submunition to brake and therefore separate these submunitions. To do this, each submunition must be provided with a number and a size of lamellae determined to give them different speeds.
- the application of the device according to the invention to submunitions contained inside a projectile is as follows. In FIG.
- each submunition 27 placed inside the projectile 28 is covered with a compact system, in this case spacers 29 and their fixing system, for example weights 30 so as to firstly, during ejection, to avoid causing significant radial stresses against the casing 31 of the projectile due to the centrifugal force created by the projectile rotating around its longitudinal axis, and secondly, to resist the stresses mechanical due to acceleration and imposed on the projectile at the start of the shot likely to deteriorate certain submunitions.
- the device according to the invention must be placed, for example, on each submunition, that is to say between the compact system and the submunition. Any other means of fixing the lamellae to the body of the submunition may be used.
- this system as shown in Figure 10 consists, for example, to put as many metallic ribbons called foils 32 as elements of spacers not shown.
- These foils for example, in thin sheet are wound around the submunition 33 in the opposite direction of rotation with a winding angle limiting the risk of collision; this winding angle is a function of the number of spacer elements and the position of the junction between two spacer elements relative to the fixing of the foil, for example, on the submunition, for example, by welding 34 at one of its ends.
- each foil is surrounded around the submunition with a winding angle of the order of 285 °.
- the fixing of the foil on the submunition is made so that the tangential resistance is consistent but that the radial resistance is weaker so that the foil fixed, for example, by welding, does not resist the centrifugal force which causes the ejection of its last.
