The film is adhered in the mantle tube or extruded.

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.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 off very quickly and the flame passes on very quickly, is encapsulated in the metal ignition tube of the TLAnz, in the ignition distributor holes are distributed over the entire length. Modern TLAnz refer to the total cartridge a maximum possible length of the ignition tube to the ignition flame unimpeded to bring to the upper (front) propellant powder layers and the largest possible ignition area is available through the distributor holes to have.

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 a considerable effort is required to seal the sensitive ignition elements against environmental influences required. So in particular the ignition openings and threaded parts of the ignition tube are reliably sealed to ensure the function of the TLAnz. Unless the ignition elements failing to be adequately protected against moisture, failure immediately occurs or ignition delays in the event of a fire. With regard to the demands of Buyers of appropriate ammunition must at least seal the transfer charge Reliably guaranteed for 10 years in humid and moisture-aggressive climates be, even if the corresponding cartridge itself is not completely against Moisture is sealed.

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 lies flush against the inner wall of the casing tube, so that the ignition openings are covered. If the lighter is activated, the pressure surge punches the protective tube at the ignition openings. However, the pilot light is ignited by the at the same time starting melting process of the lead-tin alloy weakened by energy withdrawal, from which a delay in flame propagation through the igniter openings follows into the propellant powder. This delay can be measured over time, so that short required ignition times (far below 50 ms) are not 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 ignited and get into the environment as toxins and pollutants. Finally, the use is likely of such a protective tube made of a metal alloy to an impermissible Increase the internal pressure of the propellant 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 capable not the requirement for a secure sealing of the transfer charge external 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 main charge of the cartridge are able to by rubbing and scoring to wear and damage the hose so that protection against intrusion of moisture in the TLAnz failed.

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 within the jacket tube a protective cover consisting of a plastic shrink film is arranged, which the transfer charge consisting of several ring tablets holds together and firmly encloses. During the ignition process, the ignition flame is inhibited, because the locking effect of the enclosing plastic is a delay-free quick Ignition of the entire transfer charge foiled, causing an increase in the ignition time is measured.

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. makes this publication no closer Information.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, einen Treibladungsanzünder anzugeben, der ein Anzündrohr mit einem innenseitig angeordneten 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 a propellant lighter to be specified which has an ignition tube with a protective tube arranged on the inside, which also applies to rough handling and shock-like temperature changes and increased moisture storage over a period greater than 10 years the transfer charge seals securely against external environmental influences.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche. This object is solved by the features of claim 1. More beneficial Embodiments of the invention disclose the subclaims.

Im wesentlichen liegt der Erfindung der Gedanke zugrunde, ein Schutzrohr zu verwenden, das innenseitig eng an dem Mantelrohr des Anzündrohres anliegt und aus einem dünnwandigen Material besteht, so daß der Rohrquerschnitt weitestgehend offen für den Durchgang und die Weiterleitung der Anzündung bleibt. Derartige Forderungen erfüllen folienartige Innenliner aus einem verzehrbaren Metall oder einer verzehrbaren Metalllegierung mit Wandstärken zwischen 0,1 und 0,8 mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,15 und 0,6mm.Essentially, the invention is based on the idea of using a protective tube that is tight on the inside of the casing tube of the ignition tube and from a thin-walled material, so that the pipe cross-section is largely open to the Passage and the forwarding of the ignition remains. Meet such demands foil-like inner liner made of an edible metal or an edible metal alloy with wall thicknesses between 0.1 and 0.8 mm, preferably between 0.15 and 0.6mm.

Bei verzehrbaren Metallen oder Metallegierungen handelt es sich um Materialien, die sich bei normalem Luftdruck bzw. Kontaktierungsdruck und normaler Temperatur wie ein typisches Metall verhalten und somit eine sichere Sperre gegen Feuchtigkeit bilden. Bei hohem Druck und/oder hoher Temperatur hingegen setzen sich diese Metalle pyrotechnisch um (d.h. verbrennen und "verzehren" sich damit). Die Sperrwirkung des dünnwandigen Schutzrohres kann also durch Initiierung der Anzündung des Treibladungsanzünders gezielt aufgehoben werden.Edible metals or metal alloys are materials that at normal air pressure or contact pressure and normal temperature like behave in a typical metal and thus form a safe barrier against moisture. At high pressure and / or high temperature, however, these metals pyrotechnically settle around (i.e. burn and "consume" it). The blocking effect of the thin-walled protective tube can thus by initiating the ignition of the propellant charge lighter be deliberately canceled.

Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen verzehrbaren Metallen bzw. verzehrbaren Metallegierungen und den leicht schmelzbaren Metallen, wie sie etwa in der eingangs erwähnten US-PS 2,446,187 offenbart werden, besteht vor allem darin, daß sich die verzehrbaren Metalle bzw. Metallegierungen pyrotechnisch unter hohem Druck und/oder Temperatur vollständig umsetzen, während leicht schmelzbare Metalle diesen Umsetzungsprozeß nicht durchführen können.The main difference between consumable metals or consumable metal alloys and the easily meltable metals, such as those mentioned in the introduction US Pat. No. 2,446,187 is primarily that the edible Metals or metal alloys pyrotechnically under high pressure and / or Temperature fully convert, while easily meltable metals this conversion process cannot perform.

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.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform besteht das Schutzrohr aus einer Mischmetallfolie, die mit einem Überzuglack geschützt ist. Metallisches Cer ist Hauptbestandteil der Mischmetallegierung. In a further advantageous embodiment, the protective tube consists of a Mixed metal foil that is protected with a top coat. Metallic cerium is the main ingredient the mixed metal alloy.

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. The figure shows the longitudinal section of a propellant charge lighter according to the invention, such as in the case of cartridges Tank ammunition can be used.

Der mit 1 bezeichnete Treibladungsanzünder besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Kopfteil 2 und einem sich daran in Richtung der Längsachse 3 des Anzünders 1 anschließenden Anzündrohr 4. Das Kopfteil 2, welches ein nicht dargestelltes Anzündhütchen sowie eine Verstärkerladung 7 enthält, ist mit einem Außengewinde 6 zum Einschrauben des Treibladungsanzünders 1 in den Boden der entsprechenden Patrone (nicht dargestellt) versehen.The propellant lighter designated 1 consists essentially of a head part 2 and one adjoining it in the direction of the longitudinal axis 3 of the igniter 1 Ignition tube 4. The head part 2, which has a primer, not shown, as well contains an amplifier charge 7, is screwed with an external thread 6 the propellant lighter 1 in the bottom of the corresponding cartridge (not shown) Mistake.

Das Anzündrohr 4, welches mit einer Übertragungsladung 5 gefüllt ist, setzt sich aus einem Mantelrohr 8 aus Stahl mit Anzündöffnungen 9 und der innenseitig angeordneten Abdichtung in Form eines Innenliners bzw. Schutzrohres 10 aus einem verzehrbaren Metall oder einer verzehrbaren Metallegierung in Folienform zusammen, welches die Anzündöffnungen 9 abdeckt.The ignition tube 4, which is filled with a transfer charge 5, exposes itself a steel jacket tube 8 with ignition openings 9 and arranged on the inside Sealing in the form of an inner liner or protective tube 10 from an edible Metal or an edible metal alloy in foil form, which the Ignition openings 9 covers.

Der Innenliner bzw. das Schutzrohr 10 ist auf der Vorderseite 11 des Anzündrohres 4 geschlossen und auf seiner dem Kopfteil 2 des Treibladungsanzünders 1 zugewandten Seite 12 mittels einer Dichtung 13 aus einem elastischen Material abgedichtet. The inner liner or the protective tube 10 is on the front 11 of the ignition tube 4 closed and on its head part 2 of the propellant lighter 1 Page 12 sealed by means of a seal 13 made of an elastic material.
