Definitions
- the invention relates to a submunition for a spin-stabilized carrier projectile according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a submunition is known from DE-GM 87 11 921, in which the casing of the submunition has a plurality of axial retaining pins which have a circumferential groove outside the casing.
- the protective cover has blind bores which are arranged corresponding to the holding pins and each receive a stamp and a bushing, the stamp being supported resiliently with respect to the bushing and, with the action of centrifugal force, with its radially outward end engaging in the adjacent groove of a holding pin, around the Secure protective cover on the jacket.
- a sabot projectile is known, as is usually fired from machine guns.
- an elastic ring is provided which engages both in a circumferential groove of the projectile core and in a subsequent groove of the sabot base. Since the groove of the sabot is oversized, the elastic ring can deflect outwards when the spin-stabilized projectile is fired and releases the core, so that the projectile can also fly freely after the sabot casing has been thrown off.
- a detonator attachment in which a spring ring is provided for permanent attachment of the detonator cover on the detonator housing, which engages both in a groove of the housing and the cover.
- the spring ring in order to avoid twisting of the igniter cover with respect to the housing during the flight of the projectile, the spring ring, among other things, is wedge-shaped on one side and, due to the centrifugal force, presses with this side against a corresponding wedge-shaped side of the groove of the igniter cover.
- the object of the invention is to provide a submunition according to the preamble of claim 1, which is simplified in terms of construction and manufacture, manages with low tolerance requirements and ensures secure and problem-free locking.
- connection between the casing of the submunition and the protective cover is made by an internal or external axial overlap, in the area of which a circumferential groove is arranged in both parts, the two grooves lying opposite one another and receiving a locking ring which is elastically deformable under the influence of centrifugal force, the diameter of which is determined by the acting centrifugal force and the internal stress, so that the locking ring is located in both grooves with appropriate centrifugal force and thus connects the two parts to one another.
- Locking rings can be used as locking rings.
- the locking rings can be a rectangular, circular or the like. Have cross-section. In the case of a circular cross section, a depth for the radially outer groove is to be selected at least somewhat larger than the radius of the cross section.
- the locking ring is dimensioned so that the positive connection between the jacket and protective cover is released at a predetermined speed of about 10 Hz.

- Fig. 2 shows a section of an embodiment of the submunition.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 likewise show in section a section of embodiments of a submunition that have been modified somewhat compared to FIG. 2.
- the spin-stabilized carrier projectile 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a casing 2 which receives two submunitions 3, each of which has a parachute arrangement 4 consisting of a brake and a main parachute at the rear. Is bow side the submunition is provided with an antenna 5, which is covered by a protective cover 6.
- the protective cover 6 is used in particular to protect the antenna 5 of the rear submunition 3 from the parachute arrangement 4 of the bow-side submunition 3 during firing until the submunition 3 is released from the carrier floor 1.
- the submunition 3 is provided on its jacket 7 with a circumferential collar 8 facing the protective cover 6, which is encompassed axially on the outside by a circumferential collar 9 located on the protective cover 6, the protective cover 6 axially on a bow-side end face 10 of the jacket 7 and optionally additionally supported on a further end face 11 directed towards the bow side via corresponding end faces 12, 13.
- the outer or inner edge of the end face 10 or 13 is chamfered to support a tilt-free detachment of the protective cover 6 in the axial direction.
- the two collars 8, 9 are each provided with a circumferential groove 14 and 15, which together form an annular recess, which in this exemplary embodiment is rectangular in section and is located between protective cover 6 and jacket 7.
- the circumferentially open groove 14 of the collar 8 has a depth corresponding to the radial thickness of a retaining ring 16 which is arranged in the groove 14 (or is somewhat deeper).
- the radially inward open groove 15 of the collar 9, has a depth that is less than the radial thickness of the locking ring 16, for example approximately half as deep as this radial thickness.
- Both grooves 14, 15 have submunitions 3 in the axial direction a height which exceeds the axial height of the locking ring 16 by at least a game 17, which corresponds to the axial deformation caused by the deformation work occurring when the carrier projectile 1 is fired in the region of the bundles 8, 9, so that the locking ring 16 does not result from this axial deformation can be pinched.
- the locking ring 16 expands against its internal stress due to the centrifugal force that occurs and thereby partially exits from the groove 14 and into the groove 15, so as to positively connect the protective cover 6 to the jacket 7.
- the brake parachute of the parachute assembly 4 first deploys, which also reduces the swirl of the submunition 3, so that when a certain speed of 10 Hz is reached, for example, the locking ring 16 due to its inherent tension and the low centrifugal force is again completely absorbed by the groove 14, so that the positive connection between the protective cover 6 and the jacket 7 is canceled.
- the protective cover 6 is separated from the jacket 7 due to its inertia, in order to expose the antenna 5, which was previously protected by the protective cover 6.
- the antenna 5 cannot be damaged by separating the protective cover 6.
- the jacket 7 has an inserted collar 8 which also serves as a retaining ring and which axially surrounds the collar 9 of the protective cover 6 spreads.
- the groove 14 of the collar 8 has a small depth compared to the depth of the groove 15 on the collar 9, but is sufficient to achieve the desired positive connection under the action of swirl.
- a securing ring 16 with a round cross section, for example a helical spring or the like, closed to form a ring is provided.
- the depth of the radially outer groove 15 is somewhat greater than half the radial thickness of the locking ring 16, so that a secure positive connection is obtained under the influence of centrifugal force.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Submunition für ein drallstabilisiertes Trägergeschoß nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a submunition for a spin-stabilized carrier projectile according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine derartige Submunition ist aus dem DE-GM 87 11 921 bekannt, bei der der Mantel der Submunition mehrere axiale Haltestifte aufweist, die außerhalb des Mantels eine umlaufende Nut aufweisen. Der Schutzdeckel besitzt Sackbohrungen, die korrespondierend zu den Haltestiften angeordnet sind und jeweils einen Stempel sowie eine Buchse aufnehmen, wobei der Stempel federnd gegenüber der Buchse abgestützt ist und bei entsprechender Fliehkrafteinwirkung mit seinem radial auswärts gerichteten Ende in die benachbarte Nut eines Haltestiftes eingreift, um den Schutzdeckel am Mantel zu sichern. Erst wenn unter der Einwirkung eines Bremsfallschirms die Drehzahl der Submunition nach der Freigabe vom Trägergeschoß unter einen bestimmten Wert gefallen ist, wird der Schutzdeckel, der die Antenne der Submunition bis dahin gegenüber dem Fallschirm einer innerhalb desselben Trägergeschosses axial angrenzenden Submunition geschützt hat, freigegeben und kann damit von der herabschwebenden Submunition durch Öffnen des Hauptfallschirmes separiert werden. Eine derartige Konstruktion benötigt viele Einzelteile und ist daher und aufgrund der sehr großen Toleranzanforderungen bei der Fertigung und Laborierung aufwendig und teuer. Außerdem können mechanische Überlastungen bei der Ausstoß- und Separierungsphase ebenso wie eine sichere Verriegelung des Schutzdeckels in der Abschußphase Probleme bereiten.Such a submunition is known from DE-GM 87 11 921, in which the casing of the submunition has a plurality of axial retaining pins which have a circumferential groove outside the casing. The protective cover has blind bores which are arranged corresponding to the holding pins and each receive a stamp and a bushing, the stamp being supported resiliently with respect to the bushing and, with the action of centrifugal force, with its radially outward end engaging in the adjacent groove of a holding pin, around the Secure protective cover on the jacket. Only when the speed of the submunition has dropped below a certain value under the action of a brake parachute after the release from the carrier floor, will the protective cover, which until then has been the antenna of the submunition, compared to the parachute of one within the same carrier floor has protected axially adjacent submunitions, and can thus be separated from the floating submunitions by opening the main parachute. Such a construction requires many individual parts and is therefore complex and expensive due to the very large tolerance requirements in manufacturing and laboratory work. In addition, mechanical overloads during the ejection and separation phase as well as a secure locking of the protective cover in the launch phase can cause problems.
Aus der CH-A-529 328 ist ein Treibspiegelgeschoß bekannt, wie es üblicherweise aus Maschinenkanonen verschossen wird. Um bei normaler Handhabung der Patrone eine gute Verbindung zwischen dem Treibspiegelboden mit dem Geschoßkern sicherzustellen, ist ein elastischer Ring vorgesehen, der sowohl in eine umfangseitige Nut des Geschoßkernes als auch in eine sich anschließende Nut des Treibkäfigbodens eingreift. Da die Nut des Treibkäfigs überdimensioniert ist, kann der elastische Ring beim Abschuß des drallstabilisierten Geschosses nach außen ausweichen und gibt den Kern frei, so daß das Geschoß nach Abwerfen auch des Treibkäfigmantels frei fliegen kann.From CH-A-529 328 a sabot projectile is known, as is usually fired from machine guns. In order to ensure a good connection between the sabot base with the projectile core during normal handling of the cartridge, an elastic ring is provided which engages both in a circumferential groove of the projectile core and in a subsequent groove of the sabot base. Since the groove of the sabot is oversized, the elastic ring can deflect outwards when the spin-stabilized projectile is fired and releases the core, so that the projectile can also fly freely after the sabot casing has been thrown off.
Auch aus der GB-A-1,152,625 ist es bekannt, mit Hilfe eines Federringes den Treibkäfig eines Treibspiegelgeschosses (mit Stoßtreibkäfig) bei der normalen Handhabung des Geschosses zu sichern. Aufgrund der Zentrifugalkraft soll nach dem Abschuß auch bei diesem Geschoß der Federring nach außen gedrückt werden und den Geschoßkern freigeben.From GB-A-1,152,625 it is known to secure the sabot of a sabot projectile (with a shock sabot) with the help of a spring washer during normal handling of the projectile. Due to the centrifugal force, the spring ring on this projectile should also be pressed outwards after the launch and release the projectile core.
Schließlich ist aus der DE-C-265 385 eine Zünderbefestigung bekannt, bei der zur dauerhaften Befestigung des Zünderdeckels auf dem Zündergehäuse ein Federring vorgesehen ist, der sowohl in eine Nut des Gehäuses als auch des Deckels eingreift. Um ein Verdrehen des Zünderdeckels gegenüber dem Gehäuse während des Fluges des Geschosses zu vermeiden, ist unter anderem der Federring auf der einen Seite keilförmig ausgebildet und drückt aufgrund der Zentrifugalkraft mit dieser Seite gegen eine entsprechende keilförmige Seite der Nut des Zünderdeckels.Finally, from DE-C-265 385 a detonator attachment is known in which a spring ring is provided for permanent attachment of the detonator cover on the detonator housing, which engages both in a groove of the housing and the cover. In order to avoid twisting of the igniter cover with respect to the housing during the flight of the projectile, the spring ring, among other things, is wedge-shaped on one side and, due to the centrifugal force, presses with this side against a corresponding wedge-shaped side of the groove of the igniter cover.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Submunition nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, die konstruktions- und fertigungsmäßig vereinfacht ist, mit geringen Toleranzanforderungen auskommt und eine sichere und problemlose Verriegelung gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a submunition according to the preamble of claim 1, which is simplified in terms of construction and manufacture, manages with low tolerance requirements and ensures secure and problem-free locking.
Diese Aufgabe wird entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1.
Hierbei wird die Verbindung zwischen dem Mantel der Submunition und dem Schutzdeckel durch einen innen oder außen liegenden axialen Übergriff hergestellt, in dessen Bereich in beiden Teilen jeweils eine umlaufende Nut angeordnet ist, wobei sich die beiden Nuten gegenüberliegen und einen unter Fliehkrafteinwirkung elastisch verformbaren Sicherungsring aufnehmen, dessen Durchmesser von der wirkenden Fliehkraft und der Eigenspannung bestimmt wird, so daß sich der Sicherungsring bei entsprechender Fliehkraft in beiden Nuten befindet und somit die beiden Teile miteinander verbindet. Hierdurch wird nur ein Sicherungselement bei geringen Toleranzanforderungen und größter Funktionsicherheitbenötigt, ohne daß wesentliche Konstruktionsänderungen an bestehenden Geschoßkomponenten notwendig wären.Here, the connection between the casing of the submunition and the protective cover is made by an internal or external axial overlap, in the area of which a circumferential groove is arranged in both parts, the two grooves lying opposite one another and receiving a locking ring which is elastically deformable under the influence of centrifugal force, the diameter of which is determined by the acting centrifugal force and the internal stress, so that the locking ring is located in both grooves with appropriate centrifugal force and thus connects the two parts to one another. As a result, only one securing element is required with low tolerance requirements and maximum functional reliability, without significant design changes to existing floor components being necessary.
Als Sicherungsringe können geschlitzte Stahlringe, geschlitzte oder ungeschlitzte Kunststoffringe, Gummiringe, 0-Ringe, eine zu einem Ring geschlossene Schraubenfeder o.dgl. verwendet werden. Die Sicherungsringe können einen rechteckigen, kreisförmigen o.dgl. Querschnitt aufweisen. Bei kreisförmigem Querschnitt ist für die radial äußere Nut eine Tiefe zumindest etwas größer als der Radius des Querschnitts zu wählen.Slotted steel rings, slotted or unslit plastic rings, rubber rings, 0-rings, a helical spring closed to form a ring or the like can be used as locking rings. be used. The locking rings can be a rectangular, circular or the like. Have cross-section. In the case of a circular cross section, a depth for the radially outer groove is to be selected at least somewhat larger than the radius of the cross section.
Insbesondere wird der Sicherungsring so bemessen, daß die formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Mantel und Schutzdeckel bei einer vorbestimmten Drehzahl von etwa 10 Hz aufgehoben wird.In particular, the locking ring is dimensioned so that the positive connection between the jacket and protective cover is released at a predetermined speed of about 10 Hz.
Zweckmäßigerweise besitzen die Bunde gerundete, beispielsweise angefaste Kanten an den einander zugekehrten Seiten.The bundles expediently have rounded, for example chamfered edges on the sides facing one another.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der in den beigefügten Abbildungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the attached figures.
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch ein drallstabilisiertes Trägergeschoß mit Submunition.Fig. 1 shows schematically a spin-stabilized carrier projectile with submunition.
Fig. 2 zeigt im Schnitt einen Ausschnitt einer Ausführungsform der Submunition.Fig. 2 shows a section of an embodiment of the submunition.
Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen ebenfalls im Schnitt einen Ausschnitt von etwas gegenüber Fig. 2 geänderten Ausführungsformen einer Submunition.FIGS. 3 and 4 likewise show in section a section of embodiments of a submunition that have been modified somewhat compared to FIG. 2.
Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte drallstabilisierte Trägergeschoß 1 besitzt einen Mantel 2, der zwei Submunitionen 3 aufnimmt, die jeweils heckseitig eine aus einem Brems- und einem Hauptfallschirm bestehende Fallschirmanordnung 4 aufweisen. Bugseitig ist die Submunition mit einer Antenne 5 versehen, die durch einen Schutzdeckel 6 abgedeckt ist. Hierbei dient der Schutzdeckel 6 insbesondere dazu, die Antenne 5 der heckseitigen Submunition 3 gegenüber der Fallschirmanordnung 4 der bugseitigen Submunition 3 während des Abschusses bis zur Freigabe der Submunition 3 vom Trägergeschoß 1 zu schützen.The spin-stabilized carrier projectile 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a
Gemäß Fig. 2 ist die Submunition 3 an ihrem Mantel 7 mit einem dem Schutzdeckel 6 zugewandten umlaufenden Bund 8 versehen, der von einem am Schutzdeckel 6 befindlichen, umlaufenden Bund 9 außenumfänglich axial übergriffen wird, wobei sich der Schutzdeckel 6 axial an einer bugseitigen Stirnfläche 10 des Mantels 7 und gegebenenfalls zusätzlich an einer weiteren, zur Bugseite gerichteten Stirnfläche 11 über entsprechende Stirnflächen 12, 13 abstützt. Die äußere bzw. innere Kante der Stirnfläche 10 bzw. 13 ist angefast, um eine verkantungsfreie Ablösung des Schutzdeckels 6 in Achsrichtung zu unterstützen.According to FIG. 2, the
Die beiden Bunde 8, 9 sind jeweils mit einer umlaufenden Nut 14 bzw. 15 versehen, die zusammen eine in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel im Schnitt rechteckig ausgebildete, zwischen Schutzdeckel 6 und Mantel 7 befindliche Ringausnehmung bilden. Die zum Umfang hin offene Nut 14 des Bundes 8 besitzt eine Tiefe entsprechend der radialen Stärke eines Sicherungsrings 16, der in der Nut 14 angeordnet wird (oder ist etwas tiefer). Die radial nach innen offene Nut 15 des Bundes 9 besitzt dagegen eine Tiefe, die geringer als die radiale Stärke des Sicherungsrings 16, und zwar beispielsweise etwa halb so tief wie diese radiale Stärke ist. Beide Nuten 14, 15 besitzen in axialer Richtung der Submunition 3 eine Höhe, die die axiale Höhe des Sicherungsrings 16 mindestens um ein Spiel 17 übersteigt, das der durch die beim Abschuß des Trägergeschosses 1 auftretende Verformungsarbeit im Bereich der Bunde 8, 9 bewirkten axialen Verformung entspricht, so daß der Sicherungsring 16 durch diese axiale Verformung nicht eingeklemmt werden kann.The two
Beim Abschuß des drallstabilisierten Trägergeschosses 1 dehnt sich infolge der dabei auftretenden Fliehkrafteinwirkung der Sicherungsring 16 gegen seine Eigenspannung aus und tritt dadurch teilweise aus der Nut 14 aus und in die Nut 15 ein, um so den Schutzdeckel 6 mit dem Mantel 7 formschlüssig zu verbinden. Nach der Freigabe der Submunition 3 vom Trägergeschoß 1 entfaltet sich zunächst der Bremsfallschirm der Fallschirmanordnung 4, wodurch auch der Drall der Submunition 3 abnimmt, so daß bei Erreichen einer bestimmten Drehzahl von beispielsweise 10 Hz der Sicherungsring 16 aufgrund seiner Eigenspannung und der nur noch geringen Fliehkrafteinwirkung wieder vollständig von der Nut 14 aufgenommen wird, so daß die formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Schutzdeckel 6 und Mantel 7 aufgehoben ist. Durch das Öffnen des Hauptfallschirms wird der Schutzdeckel 6 infolge seiner Trägheit vom Mantel 7 separiert, um die Antenne 5 freizulegen, die bis dahin durch den Schutzdeckel 6 geschützt war. Durch das Separieren des Schutzdeckels 6 kann die Antenne 5 nicht beschädigt werden.When the swirl-stabilized carrier projectile 1 is fired, the
Bei der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform besitzt der Mantel 7 einen zugleich als Haltering dienenden, eingesetzten Bund 8, der den Bund 9 des Schutzdeckels 6 außenumfänglich axial übergreift. Die Nut 14 des Bundes 8 besitzt hierbei im Vergleich zur Tiefe der Nut 15 am Bund 9 eine geringe, jedoch zum Erzielen der gewünschten formschlüssigen Verbindung unter Dralleinwirkung ausreichende Tiefe.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the
Gemäß Fig. 4 ist ein Sicherungsring 16 mit rundem Querschnitt, etwa eine zu einem Ring geschlossene Schraubenfeder o.dgl., vorgesehen. Hierbei ist die Tiefe der radial äußeren Nut 15 etwas größer als die halbe radiale Stärke des Sicherungsrings 16, damit eine sichere formschlüssige Verbindung unter Fliehkrafteinwirkung erhalten wird. Außerdem können hierbei die Nuten 14, 15 einen im wesentlichen halbkreisförmigen Grund aufweisen.4, a securing
Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, kann die Drehmomentübertragung zwischen Submunition 3 und Schutzdeckel 6 während der Entdrallungsphase nach der Freigabe der Submunition 3 vom Trägergeschoß 1 durch einen oder mehrere stirnseitig am Schutzdeckel 6 angebrachte Stifte 18 erfolgen, die von korrespondierenden Bohrungen 19 an der Stirnseite des Mantels 7 aufgenommen werden und bei der Separierung des Schutzdeckels 6 an diesem verbleiben.As shown in Fig. 3, the torque transmission between
