Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Sekundärgeschoß für einen Tandemgefechtskopf nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a secondary floor for a tandem warhead according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beim Häuserkampf oder gegen sonstige Deckungen feindlicher Kräfte besteht ein Bedarf an kostengünstigen Waffen und Munition. Durch die EP-A1- 0 583 642 ist ein Gefechtskopf mit einer Tandemladung bekannt. Der Gefechtskopf weist eine als Hohlladung ausgebildete Hauptladung und eine kaliberkleinere Nachschußladung auf. Beim Zielaufprall des Gefechtskopfes schlägt die Hohlladung einen Kanal durch das Ziel. Das als Splittergeschoß ausgebildete Sekundärgeschoß dringt durch diesen Kanal in das Ziel ein und detoniert hinter dem Ziel mit Splitterwirkung. Das Sekundärgeschoß wird allein aufgrund seiner Massenträgheit beim Aufschlag des Gefechtskopfes durch den Kanal bewegt. Eine separate Beschleunigungsladung für das Sekundärgeschoß ist nicht erforderlich. Die Splitterwirkung wird durch die Sprengladung und durch das Gehäuse des Sekundärgeschosses bewirkt. Aufgrund der Ausbildung des Sekundärgeschosses liegt die Splitterwirkung hauptsächlich in Schußrichtung, wobei unmittelbar im Nahbereich der Deckung eine nur geringe Splitterwirkung auftritt.In house-to-house combat or against other coverings by enemy forces, there is a need for inexpensive weapons and ammunition. A warhead with a tandem charge is known from EP-A1-0 583 642. The warhead has a main charge in the form of a shaped charge and a smaller-sized additional charge. When the warhead hits the target, the shaped charge strikes a channel through the target. The secondary projectile, designed as a fragmentary projectile, penetrates the target through this channel and detonates behind the target with a splintering effect. The secondary storey is moved through the channel solely due to its inertia when the warhead hits. A separate acceleration charge for the secondary floor is not necessary. The fragmentation effect is caused by the explosive charge and the housing of the secondary floor. Due to the design of the secondary storey, the splintering effect is mainly in the direction of the shot, with only a small splintering effect occurring directly in the vicinity of the cover.

Zur Verbesserung der Splitterwirkung entgegen der Flugrichtung eines Geschosses ist es nach der DE-A1 39 41 445 vorgesehen, daß neben Splittern in einer Geschoßogive auch im Heck des Geschosses eine Sprengladung und ogivenförmig angeordnete Konstruktionsslpitter vorgesehen sind. Die Zündung der heckseitigen Sprengladung erfolgt von einem mittig gelagerten Zünder, wobei dieser Zünder die vordere Sprengladung von der hinteren Sprengladung trennt. Die vordere Sprengladung wird über einen Zündverstärker gezündet, während die hintere Sprengladung einen Übertragungsdetonator und einen nachgeordneten Zündübertrager benötigt. Dieser Zündübertrager initiert die heckseitige Sprengladung exzentrisch, also am äußeren Rand der Sprengladung. Durch diese einseitige Zündung der etwa als Halbkugel ausgebildeten Sprengladung liegt eine sehr unterschiedliche Splitterdichte im Zielraum vor. Außerdem variiert die Energie der Konstruktionssplitter entsprechend.To improve the splintering effect against the flight direction of a projectile, it is provided according to DE-A1 39 41 445 that, in addition to splinters in a storey arch, an explosive charge and ogive-shaped construction splinters are also provided in the rear of the projectile. The rear explosive charge is ignited by a center-mounted detonator, which detonator separates the front explosive charge from the rear explosive charge. The front explosive charge is ignited via an ignition amplifier, while the rear explosive charge requires a transmission detonator and a downstream ignition transmitter. This ignition transmitter initiates the explosive charge on the rear side eccentrically, that is, on the outer edge of the explosive charge. This one-sided ignition of the Explosive charge designed as a hemisphere has a very different fragment density in the target area. In addition, the energy of the construction splinters varies accordingly.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Übertragung der Zündung von einem Zünder mit nur einem Zünderausgang auf die vordere und die hintere Wirkladung eines Sekundärgeschosses vorzuschlagen, die zu einer gesteigerten Splitterwirkung führt. Diese Übertragung der Zündung soll konstruktiv einfach und kostengünstig sein.It is the object of the invention to propose a transmission of the ignition from a detonator with only one detonator output to the front and rear active charges of a secondary storey, which leads to an increased splintering effect. This transfer of the ignition should be structurally simple and inexpensive.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem in accordance with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist die symmetrische und großflächige Zündübertragung auf die hintere Wirkladung. Dadurch ist die Effektivität der hinteren Wirkladung entsprechend der vorderen Wirkladung.
Von Vorteil ist die großflächige Zündung der vorderen Wirkladung.
Essential for the invention is the symmetrical and large-area ignition transmission to the rear active charge. As a result, the effectiveness of the rear active load corresponds to the front active load.
The large-area ignition of the front active charge is an advantage.

Ein funktionssichere Übertragung der Zündung liegt durch den Anspruch 1 vor. Die dünnen Wandabschnitte der Überzündvorrichtung, die die Verstärkerladung aus Sprengstoff von den zungenartigen Sprengstoffpolen der hinteren Wirkladung trennen, gewährleisten die gleichzeitige Zündung der letzteren.A functionally reliable transmission of the ignition is present in claim 1. The thin wall sections of the igniter, which separate the booster charge from explosives from the tongue-like explosive poles of the rear active charge, ensure the simultaneous ignition of the latter.

Konstruktive Details gehen aus den Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 hervor, wodurch eine kostengünstige und montagefreundliche Überzündvorrichtung ermöglicht wird.Structural details emerge from claims 2 to 7, which enables an inexpensive and easy-to-install igniter.

Entsprechend den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Sekundärgeschoß 1 in einem nur teilweise gezeichneten Rohrabschnitt 2 eines Gehäuses 3 eines Tandemgefechtskopfes 4 gelagert und über eine Gewindeverbindung 5 gesichert. Ein Schwadenschutz ist mit 6 bezeichnet.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a secondary storey 1 is mounted in a tube section 2 of a housing 3 of a tandem warhead 4, which is only partially drawn, and secured via a threaded connection 5. A steam protection is designated 6.

Das Sekundärgeschoß 1 besteht aus zwei bei 109 miteinander verschraubten Gehäuseteilen 10, 11, einem Zünder 12, einer zweiteiligen Sprengstoffladung 13, 14 und aus Splitterladungen 15, 16 mit Hüllen 17, 18.The secondary storey 1 consists of two housing parts 10, 11 screwed together at 109, an igniter 12, a two-part explosive charge 13, 14 and fragmentary charges 15, 16 with casings 17, 18.

Der Zünder 12 nach den Figuren 2 und 4 besteht aus einem elektrisch ansteuerbaren Zünder 20 mit Detonator 21, einem Gewinde 42 und einer mit dem Zünder 20 verschrauben Überzündvorrichtung 25.The igniter 12 according to FIGS. 2 and 4 consists of an electrically controllable igniter 20 with a detonator 21, a thread 42 and an igniter 25 screwed to the igniter 20.

Die Überzündvorrichtung 25 weist ein Gehäuse 26 mit zwei Flanschen 22 und mit einem zünderseitigen, zentralen Zapfen 27 auf. In dem Gehäuse 26 sind Ausnehmungen 28 bis 31 mit einer Verstärkerladung 32 aus Sprengstoff.The igniter 25 has a housing 26 with two flanges 22 and with a central pin 27 on the igniter side. In the housing 26 there are recesses 28 to 31 with an amplifier charge 32 made of explosives.

Die Verstärkerladung 32 ist in Richtung auf die vordere Wirkladung 13 scheibenförmig ausgebildet und weist einen Durchmesser 33 auf, der nahezu dem Durchmesser 34 der vorderen Wirkladung 13 entspricht.The booster charge 32 is disc-shaped in the direction of the front active charge 13 and has a diameter 33 which almost corresponds to the diameter 34 of the front active charge 13.

Die hintere Wirkladung 14, siehe auch Fig. 5, nimmt den Zünder 20 in einer Bohrung 40 bis auf einen Ringabschnitt 41 auf In diesem Bereich liegt ein Gewindering 42 des Zünders 20, wobei dieser mit dem Gehäuse 26 über eine Gewindeverbindung 43 verschraubt ist.The rear active charge 14, see also FIG. 5, receives the igniter 20 in a bore 40 except for a ring section 41. In this area there is a threaded ring 42 of the igniter 20, which is screwed to the housing 26 via a threaded connection 43.

Einstückig mit der hinteren Wirkladung 14 verbunden sind zwei zungenartige Sprengstoffpole 50. Nachdem der Zünder 12 komplett in einer zylindrischen Metallhülse 52 aus Aluminium angeordnet ist, wird der für die Sprengstoffpole 50 benötigte Raum durch entsprechende Ausnehmungen 55 am Gehäuseteil 11 geschaffen. Die Metallhülse 52 kapselt die hintere Wirkladung 14 vollständig ab. Ein eleastisches Element zwischen den Gehäuseteilen 10 ist mit 110 bezeichnet. Einer der Flansche 22 ist bei 111 verstiftet.Two tongue-like explosive poles 50 are connected in one piece to the rear active charge 14. After the detonator 12 is arranged completely in a cylindrical metal sleeve 52 made of aluminum, the space required for the explosive poles 50 is created by corresponding recesses 55 on the housing part 11. The metal sleeve 52 completely encapsulates the rear active charge 14. An elastic element between the housing parts 10 is designated 110. One of the flanges 22 is pinned at 111.

Im Überzündbereich 60 sind am Gehäuse 26 zwei dünnwandige Wandabschnitte 59 vorgesehen, so daß die Überzündung von der Verstärkerladung 32 zu den Sprengstoffpolen 50 - also auf zwei Wegen - erfolgen kann.In the ignition area 60, two thin-walled wall sections 59 are provided on the housing 26, so that the ignition from the booster charge 32 to the explosive poles 50 can take place - that is, in two ways.

Die Querschnitte der Sprengstoffpole 50 sind so bemessen, daß die Durchzündung zum Sprengstoftblock 19 der hinteren Wirkladung 14 gewährleistet ist.The cross sections of the explosive poles 50 are dimensioned such that the ignition to the explosive material block 19 of the rear active charge 14 is ensured.

Bei Aufschlag des Tandemgefechtskopfes 4 auf eine nicht dargestellte Deckung wird durch die ebenfalls nicht dargestellte Hohlladung ein Durchschußkanal in der Deckung erzeugt. Durch diesen Durchschußkanal dringt das vom Gehäuse 3 abgelöste Sekundärgeschoß. Aufgrund einer entsprechend eingestellten Zeitverzögerung zündet der Detonator 21 des Zünders 20 die Verstärkerladung 32. Ausgehend von der Verstärkerladung 32 wird die vordere Wirkladung 13 und gleichzeitig werden die Sprengstoftpole 50 gezündet, in dem in den Überzündbereichen 60 das Gehäuse 26 durchschlagen wird. Die einander gegenüberliegenden Sprengstoffpole 50 leiten dem Sprengimpuls symmetrisch über einen Halsbereich 61 zum Sprengstoftblock 19. Die gleichzeitige Detonation der vorderen und der hinteren Wirkladung 13, 14 führt sowohl zu einer vorderen Splitterverteilung als auch zu einer hinteren Splitterverteilung. Die Splitterverteilung aufgrund der hinteren Wirkladung 14 ist gerade in Richtung auf den Durchschußkanal und dessen Umgebungsfeldgroß.When the tandem warhead 4 strikes a cover (not shown), a hollow channel is created in the cover by the shaped charge (also not shown). The secondary floor detached from the housing 3 penetrates through this penetration channel. The detonator 21 of the igniter 20 ignites the booster charge 32 on the basis of a correspondingly set time delay. Starting from the booster charge 32, the front active charge 13 is ignited and at the same time the explosive poles 50 are ignited, in which the housing 26 is penetrated in the overfire areas 60. The opposing explosive poles 50 conduct the explosive pulse symmetrically over a neck area 61 to the explosive material block 19. The simultaneous detonation of the front and rear active charges 13, 14 leads to both a front splinter distribution and a rear splinter distribution. The splinter distribution due to the rear active charge 14 is just large in the direction of the bullet channel and its surrounding field.
