Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Handgranate mit vorgefertigten Splittern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hand grenade with prefabricated fragments the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DRP 66 46 72 ist eine Handgranate bekannt, bei der ein Ladungsbehälter eine Sprengladung enthält. Der Ladungsbehälter trennt die Sprengladung von einem, mit Splittern gefüllten Ladungsraum ab. Ein Außenkörper begrenzt den letztgenannten Ladungsraum und ist - zusammen mit dem Ladungsbehälter mit einem Kopfteil der Handgranate verschweißt. Der Ladungsbehälter ist zylindrisch ausgebildet, so daß er nur an seinem Umfang und an seiner, dem Zünder abgewandten Seite von Splittern umgeben ist. Daraus resultiert, daß bei Zündung der Handgranate die Splitterwirkung nur umfangsseitig und stirnseitig vorliegt, nicht jedoch in Richtung des Zünders. Der zünderseitige Teil stellt daher den Schwachpunkt in Bezug auf die Splitterdichte und auch für die Sprengladung dar. Aufgrund der Massenverhältnisse und der Verdämmungswirkung von Splittern und Ladungshülse wird der größte Teil der Sprengwirkung der Sprengladung in Achsrichtung des Zünders wirken.A hand grenade is known from DRP 66 46 72, in which a cargo container contains an explosive charge. The charge container separates the explosive charge from one cargo space filled with splinters. An outer body limits the latter Cargo space and is - together with the cargo container with a Head part of the hand grenade welded. The cargo container is cylindrical, so that it is only on its circumference and on its, facing away from the detonator Side is surrounded by splinters. The result of this is that when the hand grenade is ignited the splintering effect is only present on the circumferential and front sides, but not in Direction of the detonator. The part on the ignition side therefore represents the weak point in Relation to the fragment density and also for the explosive charge. Because of the Mass ratios and the damming effect of fragments and cargo case most of the explosive effect of the explosive charge in the axial direction of the Zünder act.

Eine wesentliche Verbesserung demgegenüber geht aus der AT-B 397 866 hervor. Diese betrifft eine Wurfgranate gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 mit einem mehrteiligen Splitterkörper wobei die Splitterkörper bis auf einen Durchmesserbereich für den Zünder allseitig in einem Gehäuse angeordnet sind. Die Splitterwirkung ist jedoch bei dem heute üblichen, personenbezogenen Schutz nicht mehr gegeben.In contrast, AT-B 397 866 shows a significant improvement. This relates to a grenade according to the preamble of claim 1 with a multi-part splinter body Splinter body except for a diameter range for the igniter on all sides in one Housing are arranged. The splintering effect is, however, in the usual personal protection no longer exists.

Bei einer Splittergranate nach der US 3,815,504 A besteht eine äußere Hülle aus hochfestem Aluminium. Zur Herstellung des Splittermantels der Splittergranate wird diese Hülle schockartig nach Innen umgeformt, um vorgefertigte Splitter einzubetten. Die Hülle wirkt als Teil eines Tragegerüstes für die Splitter. Sie dient nicht als Energieübertrager zwischen dem Sprengstoff und den vorgefertigten Splittern.In the case of a fragmentation grenade according to US Pat. No. 3,815,504 A, an outer shell consists of high-strength aluminum. For the production of the splinter shell of the frag grenade this shell is shock-shaped inside to embed pre-made fragments. The shell acts as part of a support structure for the splinters. she serves not as an energy transmitter between the explosives and the prefabricated ones Splinters.

Aus der US 5,372,069 A ist ein pyrotechnisches Schneidgerät zum Schneiden von Metallen bekannt. Die pyrotechnische Ladung besteht aus Tabletten. Diese bestehen wiederum unter anderem auch aus Aluminium. Damit wird die Schneidwirkung des Schneidstrahls erhöht. Eine Nachreaktion durch das Aluminium tritt nicht auf.From US 5,372,069 A is a pyrotechnic cutting device for cutting Known metals. The pyrotechnic charge consists of tablets. These exist again made of aluminum, among other things. So that the cutting effect of the cutting beam increased. A post-reaction by the aluminum does not occur.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Handgranate vorzuschlagen, die zwar eine, für den Handgranatenwurf gebräuchliche Konfiguration und Gewicht aufweist, jedoch leistungsgesteigert ist. The invention has for its object to propose a hand grenade that a configuration and weight common for hand grenade throwing has, but is increased performance.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem according to 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.

Erfindungswesentlich ist die Leistungssteigerung durch zwei Maßnahmen bewirkt, in dem die Sprengladung aus einem Gemisch aus Octol und Aluminiumpulver mit einer Körnung zwischen 100 µm bis 350 µm besteht und die Sprengladung in einer Hülle aus einem hochduktilem Werkstoff liegt.Essential to the invention, the increase in performance is brought about by two measures, in which the explosive charge consists of a mixture of octol and aluminum powder a grain size between 100 microns to 350 microns and the explosive charge in one Cover made of a highly ductile material.

Diese beiden Maßnahmen bewirken bei vergleichbarer Abmessung eine wesentlichen Leistungssteigerung der Handgranate. Es wird eine Schutzweste durchschlagen. Durch die Nachreaktion des Aluminiumpulvers in Luft nach der Detonation liegt ein zusätzlicher Druckstoß mit Nachbeschleunigung der Splitter vor. Der hochduktile Werkstoff der Hülle ergibt eine ausgezeichnete Energieübertragung von dem detonierenden Sprengstoff auf die Splitter. Die Hülle wird bei der Detonation quasi als ganzes von dem Detonationsdruck beaufschlagt, indem sie sich bis zum Bruch in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstücke ausgedehnt, wobei diese Einzelstücke entsprechend der Splittergröße als Treibplatte, also als Engergieübertragungselement auf die Splitter wirken.With comparable dimensions, these two measures have a significant effect Performance increase of the hand grenade. A protective vest will go through. By post-reaction of the aluminum powder in air after the detonation there is an additional pressure surge with post-acceleration of the splinters. The highly ductile material of the shell results in excellent energy transfer from the detonating explosive to the fragments. The shell will detonate quasi as a whole acted upon by the detonation pressure by expanded to break into a variety of unique pieces, these unique pieces according to the size of the splinter as a drive plate, i.e. as an energy transmission element act on the splinters.

Eine weitere Leistungssteigerung wird durch Kugeln aus Schwermetall erreicht. Vorteilhaft werden diese bei einer zweischaligen Splitteranordnung außen angeordnet. Die Kugeln aus Schwermetall weisen dadurch eine höhere Geschwindigkeit und damit eine größere Durchschlagsleistung auf, als die innen angeordneten Kugeln aus Stahl.Another increase in performance is achieved with balls made of heavy metal. These are advantageously arranged on the outside in a two-shell splitter arrangement. The heavy metal balls therefore have a higher speed and thus a higher breakdown performance than the balls arranged inside from steel.

Ein kostengünstiger Splitterkörper ist einschalig und weist gemischte Kugeln aus Stahl und Schwermetall auf.An inexpensive splinter body is single-shell and has mixed balls Steel and heavy metal.

Eine Handgranate 1 besteht aus einem zweiteiligen Gehäuse 2 aus Kunststoff, Splitter 3 in Kugelform, einer Sprengladung 4 mit einer zweiteiligen Hülle 5 aus Aluminium. Das Gehäuse 2 besteht aus einem vorgefertigten Oberteil 15 mit einer einstückig angeformten Hülse 16 für einen nicht dargestellten Zünder, wobei die Hülse 16 mit einem Kopf 17 mit Innengewinde 18 verbunden ist. Ein ebenfalls vorgefertigtes Unterteil 25 ist ebenso wie das Oberteil 15 becherförmig ausgebildet und besitzt einen Boden 26.
Das Oberteil 15 und das Unterteil 25 sind bei 27 miteinander verschweißt.
A hand grenade 1 consists of a two-part housing 2 made of plastic, splinters 3 in spherical form, an explosive charge 4 with a two-part shell 5 made of aluminum. The housing 2 consists of a prefabricated upper part 15 with an integrally molded sleeve 16 for an igniter, not shown, the sleeve 16 being connected to a head 17 with an internal thread 18. A likewise prefabricated lower part 25, like the upper part 15, is cup-shaped and has a bottom 26.
The upper part 15 and the lower part 25 are welded together at 27.

Die Splitter 3 sind integraler Bestandteil zweier vorgefertigter Splitterkörper 30, 31. Die Trennstelle 32 liegt zwar etwa in Höhe der - in zwei, zueinander axial versetzten, horizontalen Ebenen liegendenen - Verschweißung 27, jedoch ist die Trennstelle 32 als Konus 33 ausgebildet. Durch den Konus 33 wird eine gewisse Verdämmung erreicht.The splitters 3 are an integral part of two prefabricated splinter bodies 30, 31. The separation point 32 is approximately at the level of - in two axially offset, horizontal planes - weld 27, however Separation point 32 designed as a cone 33. Through the cone 33 is a certain Damage achieved.

Die Hülle 5 besteht ebenfalls aus zwei Teilen 35, 36 mit einer horizontalen Trennstelle 37. Die Trennstelle 37 ist gegenüber der Verschweißung 27 und der konischen Trennstelle 32 um einen Abstand 38 axial versetzt.The casing 5 also consists of two parts 35, 36 with a horizontal separation point 37. The separation point 37 is opposite the weld 27 and the conical Separation point 32 axially offset by a distance 38.

Die gegossene Sprengladung 4 besteht aus einem Gemisch aus Composition B und aus Aluminiumpulver mit einem Anteil von 17% und einer Körnung von 250 µm.The cast explosive charge 4 consists of a mixture of composition B and made of aluminum powder with a share of 17% and a grain size of 250 µm.

Bei Detonation der Sprengladung 4 beschleunigt die Hülle 5 in radialer Richtung die Splitter 3 zunächst als Ganzes, wobei das Gehäuse 2 bricht und sich dann im Verlauf die Hülle 5 etwa entsprechend den einzeln anliegenden Splittern 3 in Bruchstücke aufteilt und quasi als Treibscheiben die jeweiligen Splitter 3 weiter antreibt. Die Nachreaktion des Aluminiumpulvers in Luft bewirkt einen zusätzlichen Druckstoß mit Nachbeschleunigung der Splitter 3.When the explosive charge 4 detonates, the envelope 5 accelerates in the radial direction the splitter 3 initially as a whole, the housing 2 breaking and then in Course of the shell 5 approximately according to the individually applied splinters 3 in Splits fragments and quasi as traction sheaves the respective splinters 3 drives. The after-reaction of the aluminum powder in air causes an additional one Pressure surge with post-acceleration of the splinters 3.

Die aus Schwermetall, nämlich Wolfram bestehenden Splitter 3 durchschlagen dann die Ziele. Break through the splinters 3 made of heavy metal, namely tungsten then the goals.

Nach Fig. 2 weisen die entsprechenden Teile die selben Bezugszahlen auf. Unterschiedlich zu der Handgranate 1 sind bei der Handgranate 40 vier vorgefertigte Splitterkörper 41 bis 44 vorgesehen. Aufgrund der dickeren Splitterpackung liegt für die Sprengladung 45 ein geringeres Volumen vor, so daß hier ein energiereicherer Sprengstoff, nämlich Octol mit einem 17%-igen Aluminiumpulveranteil als Sprengladung 45 zum Einsatz kommt.2, the corresponding parts have the same reference numerals. Differently For the hand grenade 1, four are pre-made in the hand grenade 40 Splinter body 41 to 44 are provided. Due to the thicker fragment pack lies a smaller volume for the explosive charge 45, so that here a higher energy Explosives, namely octol with a 17% aluminum powder content as Explosive charge 45 is used.

Entsprechend der kleineren Sprengladung 45 liegt an dieser eine zweiteilige Hülle 55 aus Aluminium an.Corresponding to the smaller explosive charge 45, there is a two-part shell on it 55 made of aluminum.

Die innenliegenden Splitterkörper 41, 42 besitzen eine zur Schweißstelle 27 um den Abstand 46 versetzte Trennstelle 47 und weisen Kugeln 6 aus Stahlkugeln auf.The inner splinter bodies 41, 42 have a welding spot 27 around the distance 46 offset separation point 47 and have balls 6 made of steel balls.

Die äußeren Splitterkörper 43, 44 mit der als Konus ausgebildeten Trennstelle 32 enthalten Kugeln 7 aus Schwermetall, nämlich Wolfram.The outer splinter bodies 43, 44 with the separation point 32 designed as a cone contain balls 7 of heavy metal, namely tungsten.

Die Funktion der Handgranate 40 entspricht weitgehend der zur Handgranate 1 beschriebenen Funktion. Unterschiedlich ist, daß die Splitter 3 aus Schwermetall während der Detonation der Sprengladung 4 zunächst indirekt durch die Splitter 3 aus Stahl beschleunigt werden, so daß eine, gegenüber der Handgranate 1 etwas geringere Durchschlagsleistung vorliegt.The function of the hand grenade 40 largely corresponds to that of the hand grenade 1 described function. The difference is that the splinters 3 are made of heavy metal during the detonation of the explosive charge 4, initially indirectly through the fragments 3 be accelerated from steel so that a, compared to the hand grenade 1 something lower breakthrough performance.

Nach Fig. 3 weist ein einschaliger Splitterkörper 60 gemischte Kugeln 6, 7 in zwei Reihen 61, 62 aus Stahl und Schwermetall auf Die gemischte Anordnung der Kugeln 6, 7 kann einreihig als auch zweireihig sein.3, a single-shell splinter body 60 has mixed balls 6, 7 in two Rows 61, 62 made of steel and heavy metal on The mixed arrangement of the balls 6, 7 can be single row or double row.

Die Hülle 5 kann auch aus Eisen, Titan oder auch Kupfer bestehen. Die Splitterkörper 30, 31 und 41 - 44 besitzen für die Splitter 3, 6 eine Matrix aus Kunststoff.The shell 5 can also consist of iron, titanium or copper. The splinter body 30, 31 and 41 - 44 have a plastic matrix for the splitters 3, 6.

Die Zusammenfassung ist Teil der Beschreibung.The summary is part of the description.
