Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Munitionsprüf réelle especially for medium caliber ammunition.
  • a further ammunition testing device for determining inside ballistic or pipe-specific parameters occurring during the firing of the ammunition in the measuring run describes the DE 31 32 085 C2 .
  • a disadvantage of these testers is that the examinations or evaluations are based only on pure measurement results.
  • the invention takes on the task to show an ammunition tester, which allows optimal investigation.
  • the invention is based on the idea, in particular to be able to photographically examine the firing process of an ammunition, the area in which the ignition takes place To carry out a radiation-permeable material or material.
  • these may be X-rays.
  • the X-ray transparent and a cartridge storage or Ladungsruam forming in the meter range consists of a preferably cylindrical fiber composite body (Hygienwebe), and is mounted in a metal housing. Due to a preferred wall thickness of max. 25 - 30 mm, the cartridge chamber used in the measuring device is sufficiently permeable to X-rays in order to monitor the burn-up process using X-ray technology, eg. B. to document by X-ray cinematography.
  • the cylindrical fiber composite body is therefore made to withstand the high pressures and temperatures introduced as a result of the ignition and, associated therewith, the explosion, ie, including impact pressures up to 4000 bar.
  • the composite body has a corresponding arrangement of different layers (laminate) made of different fiber composites. Furthermore, large tensile stresses occur in the axially supported cylinder in the circumferential direction, with the inner layers in particular experiencing a very great compressive stress. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, in addition to an inner liner made of polyamide, at least one crack stop layer is provided in the laminate.
  • synthetic fiber composites up to a laminate thickness of about 30 mm have an X-ray permeability acceptable for the examination but also sufficient pressure stability.
  • fiber composites offer AFK (aramid fiber), CFRP (carbon fiber plastic) and / or GRP (fiberglass) to.
  • the laminate should consist of at least two distinctly different fiber orientations.
  • an aramid layer, a glass fiber layer and, again, an aramid layer are wound thereon.
  • the aramid fibers are each wound at an angle between 25 to 35 ° and the glass fibers at an angle of approximately 45 °.
  • the functioning of the firing device or the ammunition tester is primarily characterized by the specific structure of the composite body, such as fiber type, winding angle and lining of the inner surface with plastics and the installation of the body in the Beschuss réellegeophuse, for example, centered with pipe trim caps.
  • seals that prevent gas leakage are important. These seals may be, for example, plastic seals that have a specific shape.
  • the burn-up of the ammunition is preferably photographed, for example with the aid of X-ray technology or primarily.
  • images, in this case X-ray images, of the interior of the cartridge chamber or charge space are taken by a measuring arrangement.
  • a multi-anode tube radiates through the firing device with cartridge chamber, behind which there is a fluorescent screen. This converts the X-radiation into visible light, which can be recorded, for example, with a high-speed camera with an upstream image intensifier.
  • X-ray sources can also be included in the measurement and aligned with the cartridge chamber at different angles, so that measurements in different subareas of the cartridge chamber are possible.
  • an X-ray film is set up behind the cartridge chamber, whereby it is ensured by means of diaphragms that each radiation source illuminates only one area or strip of the film.
  • the radiation sources are activated with a time delay.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bombardment or measuring device 1 with a housing 2 and a cartridge chamber 3 located in the housing 2, as well as additional components, in this case a recoilless automatic cannon, for reconfiguring the ignition behavior of a projectile or ammunition 10.
  • additional components are in this Execution of a nozzle 4 and a pipe 5.
  • the cartridge chamber 3 is a fiber-wound, X-ray transparent, cylindrical body and preferably centered in the firing device 1 or in the housing 2.
  • the cartridge chamber 3 in each case on the front side according to the installation pipe fitting caps 6, which support the centered holder in the housing 2 by réellezentritation.
  • Fig. 2 shows the cartridge chamber 3 of Fig. 1 in a plan view with a Aufsetzkappe 6.
  • thickness d of the bearing 3 is preferably about 25 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows a possible measuring arrangement 10 with a plurality of x-ray sources 11 arranged on the nozzle side of the firing device 1, here four.
  • a detector assembly 12 for example a film cassette, wherein in a known manner aperture 13 and 14 are used as collimators and can be made of polyethylene.
  • the radiation sources 11 are activated one after the other at defined time intervals.
  • the beam paths X 1-4 enter through the cartridge chamber 3 on the input side at a defined angle and exit again on the output side and impinge on the detector arrangement 12.
  • the ignition process in its entirety or the burning behavior can be evaluated in particular.
  • the measuring or firing device 1 is very well suited for testing the burn-off behavior of caseless telescoped ammunition 10.
