Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Gefechtskopf nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a warhead according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der GB-A-2 300 465 ist ein Gefechtskopf bekannt, der eine pneumatisch schwenkbare Splitteranordnung aufweist. Ein auf einem Abstandhalter schwenkbar gelagerter Körper weist eine Zündladung für eine Sprengladung und eine, die Sprengladung abdeckende, konvex gewölbte Splitteranordnung auf. Die Schwenkeinrichtung besteht aus gasbetriebenen Bälgen. Diese sind zwischen dem Körper und einem heckseitigen Zwischenboden des Gefechtskopfes angeordnet. Nachteilig ist die relativ träge Schwenkeinrichtung. Sehr kurze Reaktionszeiten können damit nicht erreicht werden.From GB-A-2 300 465 a warhead is known which is pneumatic has pivotable splitter arrangement. One on a spacer pivoted body has an ignition charge for an explosive charge and a convex splinter arrangement covering the explosive charge on. The swivel device consists of gas-powered bellows. This are between the body and a rear intermediate floor of the Warhead arranged. The relatively sluggish swivel device is disadvantageous. This means that very short reaction times cannot be achieved.

Bei einem schnellfliegenden Geschoß, wie gelenktes oder ballistisch fliegendes Geschoß, Flugkörper oder Ladungsträger, zur Panzer-, Raketenabwehr, oder dergleichen nach der DE-C-32 16 142 ist es bekannt, den Wirkteil eines Geschäftskopfes durch Impulsgeber hinsichtlich Translation und ggf. Rotation plötzlich abzubremsen. Hierzu werden Explosivstoffe eingesetzt.For a fast-flying projectile, such as a guided or ballistic one Projectile, missile or charge carrier, for anti-tank, missile defense, or the like according to DE-C-32 16 142 it is known the active part of a business head with impulses regarding Suddenly slow down translation and possibly rotation. To do this Explosives used.

Weiterhin ist es aus der US 4, 034, 673 bekannt, bei einem Geschoß einen eingefalteten Hohlladungstrichter durch eine Sprengladung aufzuweiten, sodaß ein voll funktionsfähiger Hohlladungstrichter vorliegt. Hierzu ist ein konisches Werkzeug verschiebbar in einem Zylinder gelagert. In dem Zylinder ist ein Zündelement für eine explosionsfähige Ladung angeordnet. Die gezündete Ladung treibt einen Kolben des Konus an. Der Konus ist hierzu im Ausgangszustand bis auf Anschlag in der stirnseitigen Öffnung der eingefalteten Hohlladungseinlage angeordnet.Furthermore, it is known from US Pat. No. 4,034,673 for a floor a folded hollow charge funnel by an explosive charge expand, so that a fully functional hollow charge funnel is present. For this purpose, a conical tool can be moved in one Cylinder stored. In the cylinder is an ignition element for one arranged explosive charge. The ignited charge drifts a piston of the cone. For this purpose, the cone is in the initial state up to the stop in the front opening of the folded Hollow charge insert arranged.

Bei Geschossen zur Bekämpfung von Land- oder Luftzielen soll die Wirkladung mit größtmöglichem Nutzen eingesetzt werden. Ülicherweise ist hierzu eine vollkalibrige Sprengladung, die in Achsrichtung des Geschosses angeordnet ist, und ein spezielles Wirksystem - ebenfalls in Ausrichtung des Geschosses - vorgesehen. Beim Überfliegen eines Panzers oder im Begegnungsverkehr von Abwehrgeschoß und Flugkörper bzw. angreifender Rakete soll das Wirksystem zur optimalen Bekämpfung auf das angreifende Ziel bzw. auf den Gegner ausgerichtet werden, ohne daß des Abwehrgeschoß seine Flugrichtung ändert.In the case of projectiles for combating land or air targets, the effective charge should be be used with the greatest possible benefit. Usually is a full-caliber explosive charge in the axial direction of the projectile is arranged, and a special active system - also in Alignment of the floor - provided. When flying over a tank or in the face-to-face traffic of the defense floor and the missile or attacking missile is the active system for optimal combat be aimed at the attacking target or the opponent, without the defense floor changing its flight direction.

Bei der DE-C1-32 16 142 ist zur zielgerichteten Ausrichtung des Wirkteils auf das Ziel eine stirnseitig im Wirkteil angeordnete Sprengladung sowie heckseitig ein impulsgetriebener Winkelantrieb vorgesehen. Die Sprengladung dient als Räumladung, indem der Vorderteil des Geschosses abgesprengt wird und bremst auch den Wirkteil ab. Nachteilig daran ist die Beeinträchtigung der Sprengladung des Wirkteils durch die Räumladung, da zwischen den beiden Ladungen keinerlei Dämmschichten vorgesehen sind und der große Zeitaufwand bei der Funktion des Winkelantriebes.In DE-C1-32 16 142 for the targeted orientation of the The active part on the target is arranged on the end face in the active part Explosive charge and a pulse-driven angular drive on the rear intended. The explosive charge serves as a clearing charge by the front part of the projectile is blown off and also brakes the active part from. The disadvantage of this is the impairment of the explosive charge of the Active part through the clearing charge, since between the two charges no insulation layers are provided and the large amount of time in the function of the angle drive.

Bei der US 4,034,673 wird durch den Konus eine sprengstoffbetriebene Aufweitung des eingefalteten Einlagetrichters erreicht. Hierbei liegt der Einlagetrichter koaxial zur Geschoßachse. Eine winklige Ausrichtung des Einlagetrichters zur Abschußachse ist nicht vorgesehen.In US 4,034,673 the cone turns an explosive Expansion of the folded-in hopper achieved. Here the insertion funnel is coaxial to the projectile axis. An angled one Alignment of the hopper with the launch axis is not provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gefechtskopf vorzuschlagen, dessen Wirkteil sehr schnell von einer zu dem Gefechtskopf koaxialen Ausgangslage in eine dazu winklige Abschußlage gebracht werden kann.The invention has for its object to propose a warhead, its active part very quickly from one to the warhead coaxial starting position brought into an angled launch position can be.

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 are the subclaims refer to.

Erfindungsgemäß werden entsprechend dem gewünschten Winkel zur Anstellung des Wirkteils und in Richtung auf das Ziel eine dazu ausgewählte Anzahl der rosettenförmig angeordneten Sprengstoffkammern gezündet, wobei der gesamte Wirkteil also incl. der Sprenglandung die gewünschte Winkelstellung zur Hauptachse des Gefechtskopfes in dem vorbestimmten Zielsektor einnehmen. Die Achse des Wirkteils liegt dabei auf einem Kegelmantel, dessen Zentrum etwa in der Hauptachse des Gefechtskopfes liegt. Diese Achse kann innerhalb eines Rasters an jeden gewünschten Umfangspunkt des Kegelmantels gelegt werden. Voraussetzung ist ein genügend klein gerastertes, also unterteiltes Sprengstoffmagazin. Bei einer Dreiteilung sind bereits sechs Zielsektoren erreichbar. Dementsprechend ist mit einem 16-teiligen Sprengstoffmagazin gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel eine vorbestimmte Richtung auf das Ziel mit der gewünschten Genauigkeit durch Zündung der erforderlichen Anzahl von Sprengstoffkammern zu erreichen. Mit den maximal gezündeten Sprengstoffkammern pro Richtung wird auch der größte Stellweg, also Winkel am Kegelmantel, nämlich der Winkel zur Anstellung des Wirkteils in Richtung auf das Ziel von maximal 45° erreicht. Bei großem Winkel sind die Wege der Splitter kurz und die Trefferwirkung groß.According to the desired angle for employment of the active part and towards the target one selected for this Number of explosive chambers arranged in a rosette detonated, the entire active part including the detonated landing being the desired one Angular position to the main axis of the warhead in the predetermined Take target sector. The axis of the active part lies on one Cone shell, the center of which is roughly in the main axis of the warhead lies. This axis can be at any desired within a grid Circumferential point of the cone jacket. The prerequisite is a explosives magazine with a sufficiently small grid, i.e. subdivided. With a division into three, six target sectors can already be reached. Accordingly, with a 16-piece explosives magazine according to Embodiment with a predetermined direction to the target the desired accuracy by firing the required number to reach from explosive chambers. With the maximum ignited Explosives chambers in each direction will also be the longest travel range, so Angle on the cone jacket, namely the angle for the employment of the active part towards the goal of a maximum of 45 °. At a large angle the splinter paths are short and the impact is great.

Überraschend ist die einfache konstruktive Lösung für die Ausrichtung auf das Ziel mit Winkelstellung des Gefechtskopfes. Der konstruktive Aufwand ist gering bei großer Funktionssicherheit. Die Sprengeffekte der rosettenförmig angeordneten Sprengstoffkammern sind in dem erforderlichen Maße so isoliert, daß eine ungewollte Zündung der Hauptladung von oben sicher vermieden ist.The simple constructive solution for the alignment is surprising to the target with the warhead at an angle. The constructive Effort is low with great functional reliability. The explosive effects the rosette-shaped explosive chambers are in the required Dimensions insulated so that an unwanted ignition of the main charge is safely avoided from above.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist die als Splitterladung ausgebildete Druckplatte, da dadurch zwei Funktionen in einer Einheit zusammengefaßt sind. Es ergibt sich neben dem Dämpfungseffekt gegenüber den Schockwellen der rosettenförmigen Sprengstoffkammern eine kurze Baulänge der Gesamtanordnung. Kubische Splitter weisen ohne Zusatzbauteile eine große Verdämmung beim Sprengen auf. Daher liegt eine große Abgangsgeschwindigkeit vor.The pressure plate designed as a fragmentary charge is particularly advantageous, because it combines two functions in one unit are. In addition to the damping effect compared to the shock waves the rosette-shaped explosive chambers have a short overall length the overall arrangement. Cubic fragments have no additional components a large dam when blowing up. Therefore, there is a big one Exit speed before.

Wesentlich ist auch die seitliche und die zielseitige Verdämmung der rosettenförmigen Sprengstoffkammern, wodurch mit relativ kleinen Sprengstoffmengen in Richtung auf die Druckplatte verhältnismäßig große Stellwege des Wirkteiles erreicht werden. Lateral and target-side insulation is also essential the rosette-shaped explosive chambers, which makes it relatively small Relative amounts of explosives towards the pressure plate long travel ranges of the active part can be achieved.

Die vorgegebenen Querschnitte des Sprengstoffmagazins gewährleisten ein rasches Absprengen des Sprengstoffmagazins bei Zündung bereits einer einzigen rosettenförmigen Sprengstoffkammer. Dadurch kann sich die Wirkung des Gefechtskopfes ungehindert in Richtung auf das Ziel entfalten.Ensure the specified cross sections of the explosives magazine a rapid detonation of the explosives magazine upon ignition a single rosette-shaped explosive chamber. This can the action of the warhead unimpeded towards the target unfold.

At the bottom 4 of the housing 3 there is an ignition line 5 for Ignition element 6 led out with boost charge 7. For this purpose, in recesses 11 corresponding to a stamp-shaped spacer 10, 12 provided. The spacer 10 has a thick base plate 13 and a cylindrical shaft 14 with a flat end face 15. The The end face 15 is flat, that is to say over the entire surface on the bottom 4 of the housing 3 on. The base plate 13 is in the housing 3 with a radial Game led.

Die Höhe 16 des Schaftes 14 beträgt 30 % des Durchmessers 8 des Gehäuses 3 und kann bis zu 50 % betragen. Der den Schaft umgebende freie Ringraum ist mit 17 bezeichnet. Der Durchmesser 18 des Schaftes 14 beträgt 10 % des Durchmessers 8. Bei größerer Höhe 16 ist bis zu einem bestimmten Grenzwert eine Neigung 24 des Schaftes 14 von ca. 45° möglich.The height 16 of the shaft 14 is 30% of the diameter 8 of the housing 3 and can be up to 50%. The free one surrounding the shaft Annulus is designated 17. The diameter 18 of the shaft 14 is 10% of the diameter 8. At a greater height 16 is up to one certain limit, an inclination 24 of the shaft 14 of approximately 45 ° is possible.

Ein topfförmiges, dünnwandiges Sprengstoffgehäuse 20 enthält unempfindlichen, kunststoffgebunden, also elastischen Sprengstoff 21 in Form von Scheiben 19, siehe Figur 3. A pot-shaped, thin-walled explosive housing 20 contains insensitive, plastic-bound, ie elastic explosive 21 in Form of disks 19, see FIG. 3.

Auf dem Gehäuse 20 und der Sprengladung 21 sitzt stirnseitig eine Druckplatte 30, bestehend aus kubischen Schwermetallsplittern 31 und einem Gehäuse 32. Das Gehäuse 32 umfaßt die Splitter 31 vollständig. Die Sprengladung 21 liegt in vier Scheiben 19, siehe Figur 3, vor; sie ist kunststoffgebunden und dadurch schockunempfindlich und die Scheiben 19 sind gegeneinander seitlich verschiebbar.On the housing 20 and the explosive charge 21 there is an end face Pressure plate 30, consisting of cubic heavy metal fragments 31 and a housing 32. The housing 32 completely encloses the splitters 31. The explosive charge 21 is in four disks 19, see figure 3, before; it is plastic-bound and therefore insensitive to shock and the disks 19 are laterally displaceable against each other.

Ein Sprengstoffmagazin 40 aus dickwandigem Stahl enthält rosettenförmig angeordnete Sprengstoffkammern 41 bis 56 mit Sprengstoff 57 und Zünder 58 mit elektrischen Zündleitungen 59. Zwischen den Sprengstoffkammern 41-56 liegen Wände 38. Im Zentrum des Sprengstoffmagazins 40 ist in Wirkrichtung 2 zur Gewichtseinsparung eine zentrische Ausnehmung 60 angeordnet. Die Sprengstoffkammern 51 bis 56 sind jeweils in Richtung auf die Druckplatte 30 mit dünnen Abdeckscheiben 61 durch Schrauben 62 abgeschlossen.An explosive magazine 40 made of thick-walled steel contains a rosette arranged explosive chambers 41 to 56 with explosive 57 and detonators 58 with electrical ignition leads 59. Between the explosive chambers 41-56 are walls 38. In the center of the explosives magazine 40 is a central one in the direction of action 2 to save weight Recess 60 arranged. The explosive chambers 51 to 56 are each in the direction of the pressure plate 30 with thin cover plates 61 completed by screws 62.

Ein mit dem Gehäuse 3 verschraubter Spannring 70 legt die vorbeschriebenen Komponenten in dem Gehäuse 3 fest.A clamping ring 70 screwed to the housing 3 sets the previously described Components in the housing 3 firmly.

Um ein in Pfeilrichtung 75 anfliegendes Ziel 76 zu bekämpfen werden entsprechend dem Zielsektor Zündimpulse durch eine nicht dargestellte Sensorik auf acht nebeneinander liegende Sprengstoffkammern 42 bis 49 gegeben, wobei diese Sprengstoffkammern 42 bis 49 dem anfliegenden Ziel 76 am nächsten liegen. Dadurch erfolgt gemäß den Figuren 3 bis 5 zunächst eine Kipplage der Baueinheit bestehend aus Druckplatte 30, Sprengstoffgehäuse 20 und Bodenplatte 13 in Richtung auf das gemäß der Pfeilrichtung 75 anfliegende, verkleinert gezeichnete Ziel 76. Die Stirnfläche 15 beult zunächst den Boden 4 aus bis dieser eine Öffnung 25 bildet. Der Schaft 14 ist nun ortsfest fixiert und bildet im Bereich der Öffnung 25 ein Schwenklager 26. Es ist gewährleistet, daß die Hauptmasse der Splitter 32 im Bereich 34 vor der Hauptmasse der Sprengladung 21 liegt, sodaß eine maximale Transformation der Energie der Sprengladung 21 auf die Splitter 32 erfolgt. Dabei erfolgt auch eine seitliche Verschiebung der genannten Komponenten 19, 30 in Richtung des Pfeiles 23. In order to combat a target 76 approaching in the direction of arrow 75 corresponding to the target sector ignition pulses by a not shown Sensor technology on eight adjacent explosive chambers 42 to 49 given, these explosive chambers 42 to 49 the approaching Target 76 closest. This takes place according to FIGS. 3 to 5 first a tilt position of the assembly consisting of pressure plate 30, explosive housing 20 and base plate 13 towards the target drawn in accordance with arrow direction 75 and drawn to a reduced size 76. The end face 15 first bulges the bottom 4 until this one Opening 25 forms. The shaft 14 is now fixed and forms A pivot bearing 26 in the area of the opening 25. that the main mass of the splinters 32 in the area 34 before the main mass the explosive charge 21 is, so that a maximum transformation of the Energy of the explosive charge 21 takes place on the fragments 32. This is done also a lateral shift of the components mentioned 19, 30 in the direction of arrow 23.

Entsprechend den in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Kipplagen der vorbeschriebenen Baueinheit 13-30 wird das Gehäuse 3 und auch das Sprengstoffgehäuse 20 aufgebrochen und verformt.According to the tilt positions shown in Figures 3 and 4 The assembly 13-30 described above is the housing 3 and also the explosive housing 20 is broken open and deformed.

Durch die Detonation des Sprengstoffs 39 der Sprengstoffkammern 42 bis 49 wird auch das Sprengstoffmagazin 40 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 60 in Stücke zerlegt und gibt den Weg für die Splitter 31 frei. Die Abdeckscheiben 61 verhindern die unverwünschte Detonation der nicht gezündeten Sprengstoffkammern 41, 50 bis 56.By detonating the explosive 39 of the explosive chambers 42 to 49 also the explosives magazine 40 in the region of the recess 60 broken down into pieces and clears the way for the splinters 31. The Cover plates 61 do not prevent the undesired detonation of the detonated explosive chambers 41, 50 to 56.

Nach kurzer Zeit erfolgt die Zündung der Sprengladung 21, die nun auf das Ziel 76 so ausgerichtet ist, daß dieses Ziel 76 in einen Vorhang 77 aus den Splittern 31 hineinfliegt und zerstört wird.After a short time, the explosive charge 21 is ignited, which is now is aimed at the target 76 so that this target 76 into one Curtain 77 flies in from the splinters 31 and is destroyed.

Die Erfindung beruht auf einem sogenannten Winkelantrieb ohne mechanische Getriebeteile.
Dieser Winkelantrieb arbeitet ohne wesentlichen Zeitverzug. Das Grundprinzip beruht auf der Kombination von

  • 1. sektorialem Sprengimpuls auf ein Wirkteil, und
  • 2. einem nur während des Sprengimpulses instabil in einem Gehäuse gelagerten Wirkteil
  • 3. bei bleibender Verformung des Gehäuses zur Bildung eines örtlich fixierten Schwenklagers.
  • 4. dabei wirkt der Sprengimpuls entgegen der Arbeitsrichtung des Wirkteils und
  • 5. der Sprengimpuls öffnet gleichzeitig die Arbeitsrichtung für des Wirkteil.
    • The invention is based on a so-called angular drive without mechanical gear parts.
    This angular drive works without significant time delay. The basic principle is based on the combination of
  • 1. sectoral explosive impulse on an active part, and
  • 2. an active part stored unstably in a housing only during the explosive pulse
  • 3. with permanent deformation of the housing to form a locally fixed pivot bearing.
  • 4. the explosive pulse acts counter to the working direction of the active part and
  • 5. the explosive pulse simultaneously opens the working direction for the active part.

    • Durch dieses Prinzip ist die Funktion reproduzierbar, nahezu fehlerfrei und wartungsfrei, sowie kleinbauend und kostengünstig. Es eignet sich besonders zur Bekämpfung angreifender Gegner mit extrem kurzer Bekämpfungszeit. This principle makes the function reproducible, almost error-free and maintenance-free, as well as small and inexpensive. It is suitable especially to combat attacking opponents with extreme short control time.
