Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrothermal detonator according to the preamble of Claim 1 and also extends to the use of a commercially available SMD resistor for creating such a detonator.
- Detonators in which an ignition bridge can be reached by supplying electrical energy Evaporation is heated to the ignition charge in contact with the ignition bridge Heating up to at least its initialization temperature are widely described and in use.
- the classic design which will be discussed in more detail below, is one self-supporting resistance wire for bridging two connection poles for feeding of the electrical ignition current.
- the semiconductor substrate is used for the ignition bridge designed as a controllable electronic switch to ensure that only in the presence of two different control criteria, the ignition current over the Bridge can be released.
- All of these detonators are based on technology monolithically integrated circuits with their known advantages in terms of Mass production, but also their known disadvantages in terms of yield and before all of the problems of individual settings required in practice for the respective
- EP-A-0 248 977 Carrier for a bridge igniter for initiating ignition sets, delay sets and pyrotechnic mixtures and primary primers and primers provided at which is inserted into a metal outer ring, a pierced ceramic body, which for Includes contact pins for the power supply.
- the ignition bridge between them Contact pins is formed between electrically conductive surfaces on the ceramic body, which flatly surround the holes.
- Ignition bridge can be the methods of atomization or vapor deposition or Screen printing can be used.
- An electric bridge igniter with one versus one metallic housing insulates built-in glow bridge wire is known from DE 36 13 134 A1.
- An unwanted one voltage dependent response due to electrostatic charge shifts on both sides parasitic arcing lines with simple to avoid manufacturing technical means
- Wire ends of the glow plug wire including the Surrounding areas of their attachment points on the Terminal poles of the bridge igniter with an insulating layer made of insulating varnish, which after a dive from arcuate bridge wire center area expires or the is dripped onto the area surrounding the attachment points.
- DE 42 36 729 A1 describes a squib with an insulating pole body with electrically conductive Longitudinal stripes, with one arranged on the polar body Glow plug and with connecting wires, the glow plug and the connecting wires each with the longitudinal strips over Solder points are connected, and with at least one Detonator and an outer top coat that matches the detonator covered.
- detonators work after that electrothermal principle. I.e. that by feeding electrical energy the detonator's ignition bridge is usually strongly heated until evaporation. there becomes the one in contact with the ignition bridge Ignition charge warms up beyond its initiation limit and ignition of the primer initiated.
- Known detonators often have a very low resistance Ignition bridge on. Such low-resistance ignition bridges are however, is difficult to control electronically.
- the same detonators are known in which the ignition bridge is one has moderate resistance.
- Such ignition bridges the latter type are better electronic controllable, due to the small geometries of the Ignition bridges, e.g. of the wire diameter, however, they are relatively difficult to manufacture.
- Another shortcoming known detonators is that the Resistance value of your ignition bridge always with large Resistance tolerances is affected. For example, the Resistance tolerance of a known detonator with a Resistance value of its ignition bridge of 15 ohms in the range of ⁇ 4 ohms, i.e. the resistance tolerance is on the order of ⁇ 20%.
- a bridge wire is used in the detonator according to the invention or a bridge layer element for the ignition bridge a miniature SMD resistor (Surface Mounted Device) replaced.
- miniature SMD resistors are on the Market readily available at low cost.
- the Resistance value is advantageously independent of the respective design of the SMD resistor in wide Freely selectable limits. Resistance values between ⁇ 1 ohm and> kOhm are in almost all sizes of such SMD resistors available. Other advantages are that the desired resistance value within the standard series (e.g.
- E24, E48 or E96 graded sufficiently fine is selectable; and that the resistance tolerance of the resistance value an SMD resistor forming the ignition bridge with values of ⁇ 1% from the standard range of SMD resistors can be chosen and that the responsiveness, i.e. the peak power for igniting the primer the detonator by selecting the design or
- the size of the SMD resistor can be freely selected within wide limits is; as well as that the ignition sensitivity within wide limits by choosing the resistance technology (about Thick film or thin film resistance) and treatment the resistance layer (with or without coating) is good can be reproducibly influenced.
- E.g. has a size 0402 SMD resistor Continuous power loss of the order of 50 to 60 mW.
- SMD resistor Continuous power loss of the order of 50 to 60 mW.
- a defined control of such an SMD resistor with a peak power in the range of some 10 W. are those for the initiation of the detonator primer required temperatures of the order of magnitude up to 400 ° C with a short delay time.
- Larger Sizes such as 0603, 0805 or 1206 have accordingly higher construction losses and therefore also require correspondingly higher peak performances around the initiation temperature at the boundary layer with the detonator's primer to reach.
- SMD resistors as the detonator's ignition bridge, it is in advantageously possible while maintaining the known mounting conditions for such SMD resistors e.g. on printed circuit boards, ceramic substrates, Transistor sockets, IC packages or the like.
- the Responsiveness by order of magnitude a decade to vary the resistance value of the Firing bridge of SMD resistance within five To be able to choose the decades as desired, and the Resistance tolerance of the SMD resistor ⁇ than 1% to be able to specify.
- Another very special advantage of using one known SMD resistor for the ignition bridge of the Detonator according to the invention consists in the possibility easily two or more than two "heating elements" per To be able to use detonator or flame igniter.
- the SMD resistors are expedient interconnected on one side. This common connection and the associated with the individual SMD resistors second connectors are from the housing of the detonator led out to create the opportunity at High reliability applications with redundant ignition to be able to apply.
- the figure shows a training in a sectional view of the detonator 10, which is made on a housing base 12 electrically insulating material contact surfaces 14 has that in thick or thin film technology are realized.
- the contact surfaces 14 are with Connection pins 16 electrically connected, which itself extend through the housing base 12.
- the contact surfaces 14 on the inside of the housing base 12 form connection contacts for SMD resistors 18.
- the SMD resistors 18 form an ignition bridge 20 for one Ignition charge 22 of the detonator 10.
- the ignition charge 22 is on the SMD resistors 18 or on the housing base 12 pressed on.
- the detonator 10 has a housing 24 which is surrounded by a Housing sleeve 26 and a cover member 28 is formed. In there is a space 30 enclosed by the housing 24 Amplifier set 32 of the detonator 10.
