Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Geschoß, das zum Abschuß aus einer rohrförmigen Waffe bestimmt ist.The invention relates to a projectile which is intended to be fired from a tubular weapon.

Es gibt verschiedene bekannte Geschoßgattungen, bei denen die Erfindung angewendet werden kann, so z.B. Artilleriegeschosse, Wurfgranaten mit einem Leitwerk, die aus Granatwerfern verschossen werden, ferner Gewehrgranaten, die man aus normalen Gewehrläufen abschießt, vorzugsweise aber Granatpatronen, meist vom Kaliber 40 mm, die mit einer Patronenhülse (Kartusche) verbunden sind und zum Abschuß aus Granatpistolen oder aus Launchern von Gewehren bestimmt sind. Insbesondere auch bei den Granatpatronen gibt es verschiedene Typen, z.B. Splittergranaten, Hohlladungsgranaten, Rauch- und/oder Brandgranaten, Leuchtgranaten, Übungsgranaten. Je nach der betreffenden Type befindet sich im Inneren des Geschoßkörpers eine Sprengladung, umgeben von einem Splitterkörper, eine Hohlladung, ein Rauch- oder Brandsatz, Leuchtspursatz usw. Die Zündung des Spreng- oder Wirksatzes erfolgt bei diesen Granatpatronen vom Geschoßboden aus (Bodenzünder). Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf Geschosse mit Bodenzünder beschränkt, sondern kann grundsätzlich auch bei Geschossen mit einem Kopfzünder verwirklicht werden.There are various known types of floors to which the invention can be applied, e.g. Artillery shells, throwing grenades with a tail unit that are fired from grenade launchers, and rifle grenades that are fired from normal rifle barrels, but preferably grenade cartridges, usually of 40 mm caliber, which are connected to a cartridge case (cartridge) and can be fired from grenade pistols or from launchers are determined by rifles. There are also different types of grenade cartridges, e.g. Fragmentation grenades, shaped charge grenades, smoke and / or fire grenades, illuminated grenades, training grenades. Depending on the type in question, an explosive charge is located inside the projectile body, surrounded by a fragmentary body, a shaped charge, a smoke or fire set, tracer set, etc. The explosive or active charge is ignited with these grenade cartridges from the floor of the storey (floor igniter). However, the invention is not limited to projectiles with a ground igniter, but can in principle also be implemented for projectiles with a head detonator.

Geschosse neigen beim Aufprall unter flachen Auftreffwinkeln zum Abprallen, was sich dahingehend auswirken kann, daß der Wirkeffekt des Geschosses, z.B. die Detonation der Sprengladung, nicht am Zielobjekt erfolgt. Dieser Mangel ist auch bei Geschossen mit einem rundflächigen, z.B. halbkugelförmigen Kopfteil zu beobachten.Projectiles tend to ricochet on impact at flat angles of impact, which can have the effect that the effect of the projectile, for example the detonation of the explosive charge, does not occur on the target object. This deficiency can also be observed on projectiles with a round, for example hemispherical, head part.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Abpralleffekt des Geschosses bei flachen Auftreffwinkeln weitgehend zu verhindern.The object of the invention is to largely prevent the impact effect of the projectile at flat angles of incidence.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß der nach vorne in Abschußrichtung weisende Kopfteil einen stabilen Kern aufweist, der eine weiche gummiartige Auflage trägt.This is achieved according to the invention in that the head part pointing forward in the firing direction has a stable core which bears a soft rubber-like pad.

Geschosse benötigen im allgemeinen einen stabilen Kopfteil. Bei Hohlladungsgeschossen z.B. ist eine stabile Geschoßhaube die Voraussetzung für den "stand off", d.h. des Abstandes des Hohlladungskegels bis zur "Spitze" der Granate, d.h. zum Scheitelpunkt der Geschoßhaube. Wird dieser Abstand (etwa durch vorzeitige Deformation der Geschoßhaube) kleiner, dann verringert sich die Durchschlagsleistung.Bullets generally require a stable headboard. For shaped charge bullets e.g. a stable floor hood is the prerequisite for the "stand off", i.e. the distance of the shaped charge cone to the "tip" of the grenade, i.e. to the apex of the storey hood. If this distance becomes smaller (for example due to premature deformation of the projectile hood), the penetration rate decreases.

Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion garantiert nun einerseits eine ausreichende Stabilität des Kopfteils (durch den stabilen Kern), sorgt aber andererseits durch die weiche gummiartige Auflage dafür, daß das Geschoß abgebremst ("Radiergummieffekt") und die Ladung an Ort und Stelle zur Detonation gebracht wird. Abpraller werden daher selbst bei flachen Auftreffwinkeln (etwa <20°) weitgehend vermieden.The construction according to the invention now guarantees on the one hand sufficient stability of the head part (due to the stable core), but on the other hand ensures that the projectile is braked ("eraser effect") and the charge is detonated on the spot by the soft rubber-like pad. Bounces are largely avoided even at flat angles of impact (about <20 °).

Die Form des Kopfteiles ist vorzugsweise rundflächig, insbesondere halbkugelförmig. Andere rundflächige Formen sind z.B. Halbellipsoide, Paraboloide oder ogivale Formen (Rotationsflächen eines Spitzbogens). Die Erfindung ist aber grundsätzlich auch bei einem Kopfteil in Kegelform oder Kegelstumpfform anwendbar.The shape of the head part is preferably round, in particular hemispherical. Other round-shaped shapes are, for example, semi-ellipsoids, paraboloid or ogival shapes (rotating surfaces of an ogive). In principle, however, the invention can also be applied to a head part in the shape of a cone or a truncated cone.

Der stabile Kern, der vorzugsweise kein Vollkern, sondern ein schalenförmiger Kern ist, sodaß der Kopfteil eine Geschoßhaube ist, besteht aus hartem, steifen Werkstoff entweder aus Metall, z.B. aus Stahl oder einer Aluminiumlegierung, oder aus hartem Kunststoff, wozu z.B. Duroplaste, harte Thermoplaste (die bei Gebrauchstemperatur energieelastisches Verhalten zeigen und deren Schubmodul üblicherweise G > 10⁹ Nm⁻² beträgt), aber auch verstärkte, z.B. faserverstärkte Kunststoffe, zählenThe stable core, which is preferably not a solid core, but a bowl-shaped core, so that the head part is a projectile hood, consists of hard, rigid material either of metal, e.g. made of steel or an aluminum alloy, or made of hard plastic, for which purpose e.g. Thermosets, hard thermoplastics (which show energy-elastic behavior at use temperature and whose shear modulus is usually G> 10⁹ Nm⁻²), but also reinforced, e.g. fiber-reinforced plastics, count

Als Werkstoff für die weiche gummiartige Auflage kommen weichgummiartige Polymere bzw. Polymere mit viskoelastischem oder gummielastischem Verhalten in Betracht. Dazu gehören z.B. weitmaschig vernetzte Elastomere. Vorzugsweise können aber thermoplastische Elastomere (auch thermoplastische Kautschuke genannt) verwendet werden; das sind Polymere, die im Idealfall eine Kombination der Gebrauchseigenschaften von Elastomeren und den Verarbeitungseigenschaften von Thermoplasten besitzen.Suitable materials for the soft rubber-like layer are soft rubber-like polymers or polymers with viscoelastic or rubber-elastic behavior. These include e.g. widely meshed elastomers. However, thermoplastic elastomers (also called thermoplastic rubbers) can preferably be used; these are polymers that ideally have a combination of the performance properties of elastomers and the processing properties of thermoplastics.

Es kann entweder der ganze Kopfteil bzw. die ganze Geschoßhaube von einer weichen gummiartigen Auflage umhüllt sein oder aber es erfolgt eine Teilumhüllung, wobei z.B. der Bereich des vorderen Endes (der "Spitze") ohne erfindungsgemäße Auflage bleiben kann.Either the entire head part or the entire projectile hood can be encased in a soft, rubber-like covering, or a partial encasement takes place, e.g. the area of the front end (the "tip") can remain without a support according to the invention.

Die Dicke der Auflage kann vorzugsweise relativ gering sein (z.B. in der Größenordnung von 1 bis 10 mm). Die weiche gummiartige Auflage umhüllt also den Kern vorzugsweise haubenartig bzw. bildet auf dem Kern eine Außenhaut.The thickness of the support can preferably be relatively small (for example on the order of 1 to 10 mm). The soft, rubber-like covering thus envelops the core preferably like a hood or forms an outer skin on the core.

Für die gute Verbindung zwischen Auflage und Kern kann auf verschiedene Weise gesorgt werden. Beispielsweise kann die Auflage nach ihrer Formgebung durch Reibschluß bzw. Klemmsitz mit dem Kern verbunden werden, wobei die elastischen Kräfte des gummiartigen Materials der Auflage als Klemmkraft wirken. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die vorgeformte Auflage auf den Kern mit Hilfe eines Klebstoffes aufzukleben. Die Auflage kann aber auch direkt auf dem Kern aufgeformt werden, z.B. durch Beschichten des Kerns oder etwa durch Aufformen in einem Spritzgußwerkzeug, wobei durch entsprechende Gestaltung der Kernoberfläche (Nuten od. dgl.) auch eine formschlüssige Verankerung zwischen Auflage und Kern vorgesehen sein kann.The good connection between the support and the core can be ensured in various ways. For example, the shape of the support can be connected to the core by friction or a clamp fit, the elastic forces of the rubber-like material of the support acting as a clamping force. Another possibility is to glue the preformed support onto the core using an adhesive. The overlay can also be molded directly onto the core, e.g. by coating the core or, for example, by molding in an injection mold, it being possible to provide a positive anchoring between the support and the core by appropriately designing the core surface (grooves or the like).

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments.

Fig. 1 zeigt in Ansicht teilweise geschnitten eine Granatpatrone (ohne Kartusche), Fig. 2 zeigt ebenfalls in Ansicht teilweise geschnitten ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Granatpatrone (ohne Kartusche), Fig. 3 zeigt im Längsschnitt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Granatpatrone (einschließlich ihrer Kartusche).Fig. 1 shows a partially cut view of a grenade cartridge (without cartridge), Fig. 2 also shows a partially cut view of another embodiment of a grenade cartridge (without cartridge), Fig. 3 shows in longitudinal section a third embodiment of a grenade cartridge (including its cartridge) .

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Geschoß einer Granatpatrone (die Patronenhülse bzw. Kartusche ist nicht dargestellt) weist einen Geschoßkörper 1 auf, der in seinem Inneren den Zünder (im hinteren Teil) und eine Wirkfüllung enthält, z.B. eine Sprengladung (die auch eine Hohlladung sein kann), mit oder ohne Splitterkörper, bzw. Brand-, Rauch- oder Leuchtspursätze od.dgl. Den vorderen Abschluß des Geschosses bildet der halbkugelförmige Kopfteil, der aus einem stabilen Kern 2 und einer weichen gummiartigen Auflage 3 besteht. Die Auflage 3 umhüllt im wesentlichen den gesamten Kopfteil, d.h. auf einen Quadranten des Längsschnittes bezogen, von U₁=0° (Mittelachse) bis U₂∼90° (genau U₂=85°). In Fig. 1 ist schematisch auch das Zielmedium 4 dargestellt, auf das das Geschoß im Falle der Abbildung unter einem flachen Auftreffwinkel von α=10° auftrifft. (Manchmal wird auch der komplementäre Auftreffwinkel β - im dargestellten Fall also 80° - angegeben).The projectile of a grenade cartridge shown in FIG. 1 (the cartridge case or cartridge is not shown) has a projectile body 1 which contains the detonator (in the rear part) and an active filling, for example an explosive charge (which may also be a shaped charge) can), with or without splinter body, or fire, smoke or light trace sets or the like. The front end of the projectile is formed by the hemispherical head part, which consists of a stable core 2 and there is a soft rubber-like pad 3. The pad 3 envelops essentially the entire head part, ie based on a quadrant of the longitudinal section, from U₁ = 0 ° (central axis) to U₂∼90 ° (exactly U₂ = 85 °). In Fig. 1, the target medium 4 is also shown schematically, on which the projectile in the case of the image strikes at a flat angle of incidence of α = 10 °. (Sometimes the complementary impact angle β - in the case shown 80 ° - is also given).

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 ist wiederum der Geschoßkörper 1 einer Granatpatrone mit einem halbkugelförmigen Kopfteil versehen, deren stabiler Kern 2 eine weiche gummiartige Auflage trägt. Im Falle der Fig. 2 umhüllt die weiche gummiartige Auflage 3 den Kopfteil nur teilweise. Der Scheitelbereich (die "Spitze") weist keine Auflage auf. Die Umhüllung erfolgt hier zwischen U₁=20° bis U₂=85°. Die Aussparung des Scheitelbereichs von der Umhüllung ist nicht funktionsstörend, weil die erfindungsgemäße Auflage bei flachen Auftreffwinkeln zur Wirkung kommen soll, wo also die Berührung des Geschosses mit dem Zielmedium nicht im Scheitelbereich erfolgt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the projectile body 1 of a grenade cartridge is again provided with a hemispherical head part, the stable core 2 of which carries a soft rubber-like pad. In the case of Fig. 2, the soft rubber-like pad 3 only partially covers the head part. The apex area (the "tip") has no overlay. The coating takes place here between U₁ = 20 ° to U₂ = 85 °. The recess of the apex area from the casing does not interfere with the function, because the support according to the invention is to have an effect at flat angles of incidence, ie where the projectile does not come into contact with the target medium in the apex area.

Auch das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 betrifft eine Granatpatrone, die nunmehr samt Kartusche 5 dargestellt ist, in der sich der Treibladungsbehälter 6 mit der Treibladung befindet. Im Inneren des Geschoßkörpers 1 befindet sich im hinteren Teil der Zünder 7 und im vorderen Teil eine Hohlladung 8, die von einem Splitterkörper 9 umgeben ist. Die Geschoßhaube besteht aus einem schalenförmigen stabilen Kern 2, er im wesentlichen die Form eines vorne geschlossenen Kegelstumpfes aufweist und als Stützelement (Stützkonus) für die weiche gummiartige Auflage 3 dient. Die Auflage 3 kann - falls sie z.B. aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer besteht - in einem Spritzgußwerkzeug auf den Kern 2 aufgeformt werden, wobei in der Kernoberfläche angeordnete nutenförmige Vertiefungen 10, in die das Material der Auflage 3 eingreift, eine gute Verklammerung zwischen Kern 2 und Auflage 3 gewährleisten. An die Auflage 3 ist ferner ein Gewindering 11 angeformt, der zur Verbindung der Haube mit dem Geschoßkörper 1 dient.The embodiment according to FIG. 3 also relates to a grenade cartridge, which is now shown together with the cartridge 5, in which the propellant charge container 6 with the propellant charge is located. Inside the projectile body 1 there is in the rear part of the detonators 7 and in the front part a hollow charge 8 which is surrounded by a splinter body 9. The projectile hood consists of a bowl-shaped stable core 2, which essentially has the shape of a truncated cone closed at the front and serves as a supporting element (supporting cone) for the soft, rubber-like support 3. Edition 3 If it consists of a thermoplastic elastomer, for example, it can be molded onto the core 2 in an injection molding tool, groove-shaped depressions 10 arranged in the core surface, into which the material of the support 3 engages, ensure good interlocking between the core 2 and support 3. On the support 3, a threaded ring 11 is also formed, which serves to connect the hood with the projectile body 1.
