Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Treibladungsanzünder für patronierte Munition mit einem Anzündrohr, in dem sich eine Übertragungsladung befindet.The invention relates to a propellant lighter for cartridge ammunition with a Ignition tube in which there is a transfer charge.

In einem derartigen Treibladungsanzünder (TLAnz) müssen die empfindlichen explosiven Elemente der Anzündkette in geschützter, umhüllter Form vorliegen. Die Übertragungsladung dieser Anzündkette aus leicht anzündbarem Pulver, das bereits unter mäßigem Druck sehr schnell abbrennt und die Flamme sehr schnell weiterleitet, liegt gekapselt im metallischen Anzündrohr des TLAnz vor, in dem Anzündverteilerbohrungen über die gesamte Länge verteilt sind. Moderne TLAnz weisen -bezogen auf die Gesamtpatrone- eine maximal mögliche Länge des Anzündrohres auf, um die Anzündflamme ungehindert bis in die oberen (vorderen) Treibladungspulverschichten zu bringen und durch die Verteilerbohrungen eine größtmögliche Anzündfläche zur Verfügung zu haben. Ein solcher Treibladungsanzünder ist aus dem Dokument US-A-3003419 bekannt.In such a propellant lighter (TLAnz) the sensitive explosive Elements of the ignition chain are available in a protected, encased form. The transfer charge this ignition chain made of easily ignitable powder, which is already under moderate pressure burns very quickly and the flame passes on very quickly, is encapsulated in the metallic Ignition tube of the TLAnz, in which ignition distributor holes over the entire Length are distributed. Modern TLAnz show - based on the total cartridge - a maximum possible length of the ignition tube to the ignition flame freely in the bring top (front) propellant powder layers and through the distributor holes to have the largest possible ignition surface available. Such a propellant lighter is known from document US-A-3003419.

Bei derartigen bekannten TLAnz ist ein erheblicher Aufwand für die Abdichtung der empfindlichen Anzündelemente gegen Umwelteinflüsse erforderlich. So müssen insbesondere die Anzündöffnungen und Gewindeteile des Anzündrohres zuverlässig abgedichtet sein, um die Funktion des TLAnz zu gewährleisten. Sofern die Anzündelemente hingegen nicht ausreichend gegen Feuchtigkeit geschützt sind, treten sofort Versager bzw. Anzündverzögerungen im Abfeuerfall ein. Im Hinblick auf die Forderungen der Abnehmer entsprechender Munition muß die Abdichtung der Übertragungsladung mindestens 10 Jahre in feuchten und feuchtaggressiven Klimaten zuverlässig gewährleistet sein, und zwar selbst dann, wenn die entsprechende Patrone selbst nicht vollständig gegen Feuchtigkeit abgedichtet ist. With such known TLAnz there is a considerable effort for sealing the sensitive Ignition elements against environmental influences required. So in particular the ignition openings and threaded parts of the ignition tube must be reliably sealed, to ensure the function of the TLAnz. Unless the ignition elements, however are sufficiently protected against moisture, failure or ignition delays occur immediately in case of fire. With regard to the demands of the customers more appropriate Ammunition must seal the transfer charge in damp for at least 10 years and moisture-aggressive climates can be reliably guaranteed, even then, if the corresponding cartridge itself is not completely sealed against moisture.

Aus der US-PS 2,446,187 ist ein TLAnz bekannt, bei dem zum Schutz der Übertragungsladung gegen äußere Umgebungseinflüsse innerhalb des Mantelrohres ein dünnwandiges Schutzrohr aus einer Blei-Zinn-Legierung angeordnet ist. Das Schutzrohr liegt dabei bündig an der Innenwand des Mantelrohres an, so daß die Anzündöffnungen verdeckt sind. Im Aktivierungsfall des Anzünders stanzt der Druckstoß das Schutzrohr an den Anzündöffnungen aus. Jedoch wird die Anzündflamme durch den gleichzeitig einsetzenden Schmelzvorgang der Blei-Zinn-Legierung durch Energieentzug geschwächt, aus der eine Verzögerung der Flammenausbreitung durch die Anzündöffnungen in das Treibladungspulver hinein folgt. Diese Verzögerung wird zeitlich meßbar, so daß kurze geforderte Anzündzeiten (weit unter 50 ms) nicht erzielt werden.From US-PS 2,446,187 a TLAnz is known in which to protect the transfer charge against external environmental influences within the jacket tube a thin-walled Protective tube made of a lead-tin alloy is arranged. The protective tube is flush on the inner wall of the casing tube so that the ignition openings are covered. in the If the lighter is activated, the pressure surge punches the protective tube at the ignition openings out. However, the kindling is caused by the simultaneous onset Melting process of the lead-tin alloy weakened by energy withdrawal from one Delay in the spread of flame through the ignition openings into the propellant powder follows into it. This delay can be measured in time, so that short required ignition times (far below 50 ms) cannot be achieved.

Außerdem weist ein TLAnz dieser Bauart den Nachteil auf, daß das Material des Schutzrohres Bleibestandteile enthält, die bei der Anzündung der Patrone frei werden und als Gift- und Schadstoffe in die Umgebung gelangen. Schließlich dürfte die Verwendung eines derartigen Schutzrohres aus einer Metallegierung zu einer unzulässigen Erhöhung des Innendruckes des Treibladunganzünders führen.In addition, a TLanz of this type has the disadvantage that the material of the protective tube Contains lead components that are released when the cartridge is lit and as Toxins and pollutants get into the environment. Finally, the use of a such a protective tube made of a metal alloy to an impermissible increase in internal pressure of the propellant charge lighter.

Ferner ist aus der US 5,052,302 ein TLAnz bekannt, bei dem innerhalb eines verbrennbaren Mantelrohres eine aus einem Gewebe bestehende, die Übertragungsladung einschließende Schutzhülle angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Schutzhülle vermag allerdings nicht die Forderung nach einer sicheren Abdichtung der Übertragungsladung gegenüber äußeren Umgebungseinflüssen über einen längeren Zeitraum zu erfüllen.Furthermore, a TLAnz is known from US 5,052,302, in which within a combustible Jacket tube is a fabric that includes the transfer charge Protective cover is arranged. However, such a protective cover is not capable of Demand for a secure sealing of the transfer charge against external ones To fulfill environmental influences over a longer period of time.

Aus der EP-0 392 533 BI und der DE-37 01 145 A1 sind Treibladungsanzünder mit Anzündrohren bekannt, bei denen die Anzündöffnungen durch außenseitig auf dem jeweiligen Mantelrohr aufgebrachte Kunststoffschläuche verdeckt werden.From EP-0 392 533 BI and DE-37 01 145 A1 are propellant charge igniters with ignition tubes known in which the ignition openings by outside on the respective Covered plastic hoses are covered.

Nachteilig bei diesen TLAnz ist, daß der jeweilige Kunststoffschlauch bei mechanischen Belastungen der Patrone (z.B. bei den bei der Laborierung vorgenommenen Rüttelvorgängen) beschädigt werden kann, denn die Kanten der harten Treibladungspulverkörner in der Hauptladung der Patrone sind in der Lage, durch Reib- und Anritzvorgänge den Schlauch abzunutzen und zu beschädigen, so daß der Schutz gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in den TLAnz versagt.The disadvantage of this TLAnz is that the respective plastic hose with mechanical Loads on the cartridge (e.g. during vibrations carried out in the laboratory) can be damaged because the edges of the hard propellant powder grains in the The main charge of the cartridge is able to rub the tube by means of rubbing and scribing wear and damage so that protection against moisture penetration failed in the TLAnz.

Aus der DE-34 16 736 C2 ist ein TLAnz bekannt, bei dem innerhalb des Mantelrohres eine aus einer Kunststoff-Schrumpffolie bestehende Schutzhülle angeordnet ist, welche die aus mehreren Ringtabletten bestehende Übertragungsladung zusammenhält und fest umschließt. Im Anzündvorgang wird die Weiterleitung der Anzündflamme gehemmt, weil die Sperrwirkung des umschließenden Kunststoffs eine verzögerungsfreie schnelle Anzündung der gesamten Übertragungsladung vereitelt, so daß eine Zunahme der Anzündzeit gemessen wird.From DE-34 16 736 C2 a TLAnz is known, in which a inside the jacket tube a protective cover consisting of a plastic shrink film is arranged, which is made of several ring tablets existing transmission charge holds together and tightly encloses. In the ignition process, the ignition flame is inhibited because the Barrier effect of the enclosing plastic an instantaneous fast ignition of the entire transfer charge, so that an increase in the ignition time is measured becomes.

Schließlich ist aus der US 5,140,906 ein Zünder für einen Airbag bekannt, bei dem innerhalb einer becherförmigen Metallkapsel eine aus Kunststoff bestehende, die Übertragungsladung einschließende Schutzkappe angeordnet ist. Über den Aufbau, die Herstellung, die Wandstärke dieser Schutzkappe etc. macht diese Druckschrift keine näheren Angaben.Finally, an igniter for an airbag is known from US 5,140,906, in which inside a cup-shaped metal capsule made of plastic, the transfer charge enclosing protective cap is arranged. About building, manufacturing, the wall thickness of this protective cap etc. does not provide any further details in this publication.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, einen Treibladungsanzünder anzugeben, der ein Anzündrohr mit einem innenseitig angeordneten aus Kunststoff bestehenden Schutzrohr besitzt, welches auch bei rauher Handhabung sowie bei schockartigen Temperaturänderungen und erhöhter Feuchtelagerung über einen Zeitraum größer > 10 Jahre die Übertragungsladung sicher gegen äußere Umgebungseinflüsse abdichtet.The object of the present invention is to provide a propellant lighter which is an ignition tube with an inside made of plastic Has protective tube, which also with rough handling and with shock-like temperature changes and increased moisture storage over a period greater than 10 years Seals transfer charge securely against external environmental influences.

Derartige Forderungen erfüllen folienartige Innenliner aus Kunststoff mit Wandstärken zwischen 0, 1 und 0, 8 mm, wobei das Schutzrohr entweder durch Einkleben einer entsprechenden Folie oder durch Blasformen, Rotationsformen, Spritzgießen oder durch eine andere Extrudiertechnik in dem Mantelrohr selbst hergestellt wird.Essentially, the invention is based on the idea of using a protective tube which is tight on the inside of the casing tube of the ignition tube and made of a thin-walled Material exists so that the pipe cross-section is largely open to the passage and the forwarding of the ignition remains. Such requirements meet foil-like requirements Inner liner made of plastic with wall thicknesses between 0.1 and 0.8 mm, with the protective tube either by gluing in a corresponding film or by blow molding, rotary molding, Injection molding or by another extrusion technology in the jacket tube itself will be produced.

Es hat sich ferner als vorteilhaft erwiesen, das Schutzrohr im Bereich der Anzündöffnungen mit Sollbruchstellen zu versehen.It has also proven to be advantageous to have the protective tube in the area of the ignition openings to be provided with predetermined breaking points.

Als Material für Schutzrohre, die durch Rotations- oder Blasformen hergestellt werden, hat sich insbesondere die Verwendung von Polypropylen (PP) oder Polyethylen (PE) als vorteilhaft erwiesen.As a material for protective tubes that are manufactured by rotary or blow molding the use of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) is particularly advantageous proved.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden anhand einer Figur erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel. Dabei zeigt die Fig. den Längsschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Treibladungsanzünders, wie er beispielsweise bei patronierter Panzermunition verwendbar ist.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following a figure illustrated embodiment.
