Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of the heads military generator of splinters.
  • Patents FR2678723, US5544589 and the certificate of utility FR2388468 thus describe a military head in which explosive charges spread around a shrapnel envelope make it possible to ensure deformation of the localized envelope next to a target detected by a proximity rocket.
  • certificate of utility FR2388468 proposes to ensure the initiation of the charge by a priming means disposed in a manner diametrically opposite to the deformed zone of the envelope.
  • the invention relates to a military head chip generator comprising at least one load explosive disposed in an envelope, and a means of initiation, head characterized in that the priming means comprises at minus a ring of detonation relays regularly angularly distributed around the axis of the military head, relays arranged in the vicinity of the explosive charge and having their direction of action oriented substantially radially towards the axis of the head, the relays being otherwise in solidarity with an inert support.
  • the military head can have two coaxial explosive charge units and same diameter, the relay ring being disposed between the two blocks.
  • the military head may include a single explosive charge block, the relay ring being disposed at one end of the block.
  • the shell-generating envelope may be constituted by two cylindrical parts arranged on both sides of the relay crown.
  • the military head may be placed inside an ammunition case and have a diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the case.
  • each relay can be sized from not to be able to initiate the loading on its own explosive, but this initiation is possible when at least two relays are initiated simultaneously.
  • the relay ring can be connected to a device electronic ignition system, which is itself connected to a rocket proximity that can detect the position of a target by report to the military head, the priming device determining from the positioning of the target the relays which must be initiated to guide the splinters into direction of the target.
  • FIG. 1 shows a munition 1, for example a missile, which passes close to a target 2 such a aircraft.
  • the trajectory 3 of the ammunition (which is also the axis of the ammunition) is substantially parallel to trajectory 4 of the target and she is at a distance D of this last.
  • the ammunition 1 comprises a proximity rocket 5 whose detection directions ( ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2 ... ⁇ i) are distributed according to a cone, coaxial with the axis 3 of the ammunition, and half-angle at the top ⁇ .
  • Such proximity rockets are well known to the skilled person.
  • the patents FR2388468 and FR2678723 describe exemplary embodiments of such rockets. These rockets are equipped with radar technology sensors or infra red.
  • the rocket 5 makes it possible to determine the direction ⁇ i according to which is positioned the target 2 with respect to the ammunition.
  • the ammunition 1 has a military head 6 which shrapnel.
  • the vector V schematizes the speed of projection of the fragments in a reference linked to the ammunition.
  • the vector VR is the velocity vector of the ammunition 1.
  • the composition of these two velocity vectors leads to a projection of fragments in a direction A.
  • the military head 6 is endowed priming means for focusing the chips in the direction of the target 2.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show a first mode of production.
  • the military head 6 is housed in a case 7 of the ammunition, the case may be metallic or made of a composite material.
  • the head military 6 includes two blocks 17a, 17b of a cargo explosive. These two blocks are cylindrical and coaxial and they have axis axis 3 of the ammunition 1. They also the same diameter.
  • Each block 17a, 17b is disposed in an envelope separate chip generator 8a, 8b which is closed to a end by a cover 12a, 12b.
  • envelopes will be made of steel or dense alloy and they can include machining or embrittlement treatment particular favoring the formation of splinters. These machining or treatments are well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the military head 6 is endowed a priming means which comprises at least one ring of detonation relay 9, regularly distributed angularly around axis 3 of the military head 6.
  • the head 6 has six detonation relays 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e and 9f (see Figure 2b). These relays are arranged in the vicinity of the explosive charge blocks 17a and 17b and they each have their direction of action (d a , d b , d c , d d , d e , d f ) which is oriented substantially radially towards the axis 3 of the military head 6. These directions of action are shown in Figure 3a.
  • the relay ring 9 is arranged between the two blocks explosives 17a and 17b and the relays 9 are all solidary of an inert support 10 which is interposed between the two blocks explosive charge 17a and 17b.
  • the support 10 is shown uncut and the visible relays are relays 9f, 9e and 9d.
  • the support 10 will be formed for example by a block of polyamide or by another type of plastic material or composite.
  • All relays 9 are connected by wires (no shown in these figures) to a priming device 11 itself connected to the proximity rocket. son can be positioned for example in grooves longitudinal of the case 7.
  • the rocket 5 can detect the position of the target 2 compared to the military head 6. From this positioning of the target, the priming device determines the relays 9 that must be initiated to guide the shards towards the target 2.
  • Primer and rocket can of course be consisting of a single subset of the munition 1.
  • Figures 3a and 3b show the mode ignition coil relay 9. All relays are connected to the ignition device 11 by conductors 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e and 13f. Drivers can be grouped into a cable 13. It will also be possible to simplify the wiring implement a two-wire BUS type link of data transmission which will connect in parallel all 9. In this case, the relays must have a logical electronic circuit allowing them to dialogue with the priming device 11 and to recognize the orders transmitted.
  • Patent FR2801698 describes such a device for logic control of pyrotechnic components.
  • each relay 9 will be dimensioned so to not be able to initiate by itself the explosive charge 17. However, this initiation must be possible when at least two neighboring relays are initiated simultaneously. It is easy for the skilled person to define relays of such so that the energy provided by the composition of the waves of detonation from two relays is sufficient to prime the blocks explosives 17a, 17b while the energy of a single relay is insufficient.
  • FIG. 3b shows the progression in the support 10 of the shock waves 14a and 14f coming from the two relays 9a and 9f, initiated simultaneously by the priming device 11. It can be seen that these waves are composed and that a wave results therefrom oriented along the plane of the bisector ⁇ a, f individual directions of action d f and d a .
  • shock wave from the priming means six different directions of action regularly distributed angularly around the axis 3 of the military head.
  • relays 9 are not oriented towards explosive blocks to initiate 17a and 17b.
  • the shock wave that is generated by each relay 9 has a spherical symmetry. It therefore progresses not only along the direction ⁇ a, f but also laterally in each of the blocks 17a, 17b.
  • FIG. 3c shows this progression of the shock waves 15 and 16 which develop from the support 10 towards the ends of the blocks 17a and 17b in the symmetrical directions ( ⁇ a, f ) 1 and ( ⁇ a, f ) 2 from each other with respect to the radial direction ⁇ a, f .
  • the kinetic energy is then maximal for splinters generated by the envelope generators 8a, 8b which are arranged opposite the target. It is minimal for splinters generated by neighboring envelope generators relays initiated (9a, 9f), so for the generators that are oriented in a direction opposite to that of the target.
  • the invention allows, with a montage extremely simple means of priming, to achieve a military head that can direct the fragments according to several privileged directions, the management being chosen in according to the indications given by a proximity rocket.
  • a simultaneous initiation of six relays can generate in each block of explosive 17a, 17b a detonation wave progressing along the axis 3 of the military head and this in a way equivalent to what would be obtained with a single relay arranged axially at a ends of the block.
  • the military head according to the invention can therefore also work with a generation mode splinters following an unfocused sheaf.
  • Figures 4a and 4b show another way of making a military head 6 in which a crown detonation relay 9 is disposed on one side of a block unique 17 explosive material.
  • the relay ring 9 is arranged in a support inert 10 that is applied against the loading block explosive 17.
  • the block is shown uncut and the visible relays are the Relay 9f, 9e and 9d.
  • the mode of operation is similar to that described above with reference to FIGS. 2a to 3c.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to project the chips for example in the direction ( ⁇ d, c ) 1 .
  • This military head is easy to implement and integrate into an ammunition.
  • FIG. 5 shows a variant military head embodiment of the invention. This variant differs from previous in that the military head 6 is sub-calibrated relative to the inside diameter of the case 7.
  • the head represented here has a structure similar to that Figures 2a and 2b and therefore includes two explosive blocks 17a, 17b separated by a relay ring 9 disposed in an inert support 10.
  • the two blocks 17a, 17b and the support 10 are linked to each other by gluing.
  • the whole is united by elsewhere of the two end covers 12a and 12b which are to the inside diameter of the case 7 and which ensure the radial positioning of the head relative to the case 7.
  • the annular space separating the inner surface of the case 7 and the military head 6 has a thickness of a few millimeters. Such a provision makes it possible to pass easily the different wires 13 connecting the relays 9 to priming device 11.
