Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Patronenmunition, insbesondere mit mittlerem Kaliber, und hier insbesondere auf eine Übungsmunition, mit einer Patronenhülse und einem in diese eingesetzte und mit der Patronenhülse mechanisch verbundenen Geschoss. Am Boden der Patronenhülse ist hierbei eine Treibkammer vorgesehen, die eine Treibladung aufnimmt, die z. B. pyrotechnisch mit Hilfe eines Zündhütchens anzündbar ist. Nach dem Anzünden wirken die Treibgase der Treibladung auf den Boden des Geschosses, so dass nach Lösen der mechanischen Verbindung zwischen Patronenhülse und Geschoss dieses aus der Patronenhülse ausgetrieben wird.The invention relates to a cartridge ammunition, especially medium caliber, and in particular to a training ammunition, with a cartridge case and a projectile inserted into this and mechanically connected to the cartridge case. At the bottom of the cartridge case in this case a drive chamber is provided which receives a propellant charge, the z. B. pyrotechnic with the help of a primer is flammable. After lighting the propellant gases of the propellant charge act on the bottom of the projectile, so that after releasing the mechanical connection between the cartridge case and projectile this is expelled from the cartridge case.
Eine solche patronierte Ãœbungsmunition ist in der
Wenn die Treibladung in der Hochdruckkammer über ein Anzündhütchen pyrotechnisch angezündet wird, brennt die Treibladung ab, entwickelt Treibgase mit hohem Druck, die dann in beiden Kammern auf den Geschossboden wirken und schließlich das Geschoss aus der Patronenhülse treiben, nachdem bei einem bestimmten Druck die Sollbruchstelle zwischen Patronenhülse und Geschoss aufgebrochen ist.When the propellant in the high-pressure chamber is ignited pyrotechnically via a primer, the propellant burns off, develops propellant gases at high pressure, which then act in both chambers on the floor and finally drive the bullet out of the cartridge case, after at a certain pressure the breaking point between Cartridge shell and bullet is broken.
Eine ähnliche Patronenmunition ist in der
Des weiteren sind Ãœbungspatronen dieser Art bekannt, bei denen nur eine Niederdruck-Treibkammer vorgesehen ist; solche Patronen werden als Niedrig-Geschwindigkeits-Patronen (Low Velocity Ammunition) bezeichnet.Furthermore, practice cartridges of this type are known in which only a low-pressure drive chamber is provided; such cartridges are referred to as low-speed ammunition cartridges.
Derartige Patronenmunition wird in hohen Stückzahlen verwendet und muss sowohl sicher gelagert als auch sicher von dem Hersteller zu einem Anwender transportiert werden. Lagerung und Transport erfolgen in der Regel in größeren Kisten, z. B. Blechkisten, die eine Vielzahl derartiger Patronen aufnehmen.Such cartridge ammunition is used in high volumes and must be stored both safely and safely transported from the manufacturer to a user. Storage and transport usually take place in larger boxes, z. B. Tin boxes that receive a variety of such cartridges.
Trotz der nicht unerheblichen Menge an Zündstoff für Zündhütchen und Treibladung, die sich in einem Lager- oder Transportbehälter befindet, sind Lagerung und Transport üblicherweise problemlos. Ein Risiko stellt allenfalls ein Brand im Lager- oder Transportraum dar, bei dem Temperaturen um und über 220°C erreicht werden.Despite the not inconsiderable amount of ignition material for primer and propellant charge, which is located in a storage or transport container, storage and transport are usually easy. At most, a fire poses a fire in the storage or transport area, where temperatures above and above 220 ° C are reached.
Bei solchen Temperaturen zündet jedoch bereits die pyrotechnische Anzündladung des Zündhütchens. Diese zündet dann auch die eigentliche Treibladung, die sonst erst bei 320°C bis 400°C zündet. Nach dem Zünden der Treibladung wird, wie beim gewöhnlichen Schuss, in der Treibkammer ein solcher Druck aufgebaut, der auf den Geschossboden wirkt, dass schließlich nach Aufbrechen der mechanischen Verbindung zwischen Patronenhülse und Geschoss diese explosionsartig auseinander geschleudert werden.At such temperatures, however, already ignites the pyrotechnic ignition charge of the primer. This ignites then the actual propellant, which otherwise ignites only at 320 ° C to 400 ° C. After the ignition of the propellant charge, as in the ordinary shot, such a pressure builds up in the driving chamber, which acts on the floor of the floor, that finally after breaking the mechanical connection between the cartridge case and projectile they are hurled explosively apart.
Allein schon durch die Menge der explodierenden Treibsätze einer Vielzahl von Patronen kann ein erheblicher Schaden entstehen. Aber auch die explosionsartig auseinander gerissenen Patronenhülsen und Geschosse können große Schäden verursachen. Patronenhülse und Geschoss wirken hierbei beide quasi wie Geschosse. Etwaige Aufnahmebehälter werden dadurch zerstört, wobei die auseinander getriebenen Patronenhülsen und Geschosse auch noch Menschen gefährden und große mechanische Schäden anrichten können.Alone by the amount of exploding propellant charges of a variety of cartridges can cause considerable damage. But even the explosively torn apart cartridge cases and projectiles can cause great damage. Cartridge sleeve and projectile act both like bullets. Any receptacles are thereby destroyed, with the disassembled cartridge cases and projectiles also endanger people and cause great mechanical damage.
In Versuchen wurden derartige Patronen in eine Heizschale gelegt, wonach die Heizschale langsam aufgeheizt wurde. Nach Erreichen der Zündtemperatur des Zündhütchens von etwa 220°C wurden, wie geschildert, zunächst das Zündhütchen und durch dieses anschließend die Treibladung der Patronen gezündet. Durch den Druckaufbau in der Treibkammer wurden Patronenhülse und Geschoss auseinander gerissen und bis zu 100 Metern weit geschleudert, so dass die Energie, die von vielen derartiger Patronen bei einem Brand freigesetzt wird, gut vorstellbar ist.In experiments such cartridges were placed in a heating bowl, after which the heating shell was heated slowly. After reaching the ignition temperature of the primer cap of about 220 ° C, as described, first the primer and then ignited by this the propellant charge of the cartridges. Due to the build-up of pressure in the drive chamber, the cartridge case and projectile were torn apart and thrown up to 100 meters, so that the energy that is released by many such cartridges in a fire, is well conceivable.
Aus der
Dieses Prinzip lässt sich jedoch nicht einfach auf eine Patronenmunition übertragen, da, wie oben ausgeführt, beim Abschuss der Munition der Druck n der Treibkammer sehr hoch , bis zu 3.000 Bar und mehr ist. Bei diesen Drücken beginnen die erwähnten Schmelzmaterialien bereits zu fließen, sodass die nach außen führenden Kanäle geöffnet werden und damit der Abschuss der Munition verhindert würde.However, this principle can not be easily transferred to a cartridge ammunition, since, as stated above, when firing the ammunition, the pressure n of the propellant chamber is very high, up to 3,000 bar and more. At these pressures, the aforementioned fusible materials begin to flow already, opening the channels leading to the outside and thus preventing the firing of the ammunition.
Außerdem muss vor dem Einsatz der Munition der Sicherheitsstopfen gegen einen Aufschlagzünder ausgetauscht werden, was umständlich und zeitaufwendig ist.In addition, before using the ammunition, the safety plug must be replaced with an impact fuse, which is cumbersome and time-consuming.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Vorkehrungen zu treffen, um bei einer starken Erhöhung der Außentemperatur über die Zündtemperatur der pyrotechnischen Anzündladung ein Auseinanderreißen von Patronenhülse und Geschoss zu vermeiden.The invention has for its object to provide provisions to avoid a tearing of cartridge case and projectile at a strong increase in the outside temperature on the ignition temperature of the pyrotechnic ignition charge.
Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Vorkehrungen zu treffen, um bei einer Ansammlung von vielen derartigen Patronen, z. B. in einem Transport- oder Lagerbehälter, bei übermäßigem Anstieg der Außentemperatur, z. B. durch einen Brand eine Schädigung der Umwelt zu vermeiden.A further object of the invention is to provide provisions to prevent the accumulation of many such cartridges, e.g. B. in a transport or storage container, with excessive increase in the outside temperature, z. B. to avoid damage to the environment by a fire.
Eine weitere Aufgabe ist es, in einen Gefahrenfalle nach Zünden der Anzündladung die Wirkung der Treibladung soweit zu schwächen, dass in der Umgebung weder große Druckschäden noch große mechanische Schäden auftreten.A further object is to weaken the effect of the propellant charge in a danger trap after ignition of the ignition charge to the extent that in the environment neither large pressure damage nor large mechanical damage occur.
Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Patronenmunition so zu gestalten, dass die Eigenschaften der Patronenmunition beim normalen Schießen und den dabei auftretenden hohen Drücken in der Treibkammer durch die genannten Vorkehrungen nicht beeinflusst werden.It is a further object of the invention to design the cartridge ammunition so that the properties of the cartridge ammunition during normal shooting and the high pressures occurring in the drive chamber are not affected by said precautions.
Bei einer Patronenmunition aus einem Geschoss und einer dieses aufnehmenden Patronenhülse, in der eine Treibkammer vorgesehen ist, wird gemäß der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, von der Treibkammer ausgehende Passagen oder Kanäle vorzusehen, die die Wand der Patronenhülse durchdringen und mit einem festen, druckdichten, schmelzbaren Material ausgefüllt sind, dessen Schmelzpunkt niedriger als die niedrigste Zündtemperatur eines der pyrotechnischen Sätze der Patrone ist, also niedriger als die Zündtemperaturen der pyrotechnischen Zündladung und der Treibladung.In a bullet ammunition from a projectile and this receiving cartridge case in which a drive chamber is provided, it is proposed according to the invention to provide outgoing from the drive chamber passages or channels that penetrate the wall of the cartridge case and filled with a solid, pressure-tight, fusible material whose melting point is lower than the lowest ignition temperature of one of the cartridges' pyrotechnic charges, ie lower than the ignition temperatures of the pyrotechnic ignition charge and the propellant charge.
Die Kanäle verjüngen sich in Richtung zu ihrem Ausgang. Hierdurch werden die beim Abschuss der Patronmunition auftretenden hohen Drücke aufgefangen, sodass verhindert wird, dass das Schmelzmetall zu fließen beginnt und die Kanäle frei gegeben werden.The channels rejuvenate towards their exit. This absorbs the high pressures that occur when the cartridge ammunition fires, preventing the molten metal from flowing and releasing the channels.
Ein solches Schmelzmaterial ist vorzugsweise ein Schmelzmetall. Derartige Schmelzmetalle sind z. B. Legierungen aus Wismut und Zinn, wobei ggf. noch andere Metalle, wie Blei etc., zugesetzt sind.Such a melting material is preferably a molten metal. Such molten metals are z. B. alloys of bismuth and tin, possibly with other metals, such as lead, etc., are added.
Wenn demnach eine Patrone der in Rede stehenden Art bis auf die Schmelztemperatur des Schmelzmateriales bzw. Schmelzmetalles von z. B. 180° C aufgeheizt wird, dann schmilzt das Schmelzmaterial in den Passagen zwischen der Treibkammer in der Patronenhülse und der Außenumgebung. Wenn dann bei weiter steigender Temperatur das Zündhütchen und schließlich dadurch auch die Treibladung angezündet werden, so kann sich in der Treibkammer kein Druck aufbauen, da die frei gelegten Passagen als Druckentlastungsöffnungen fungieren. Die Folge ist, dass die Treibladung lediglich abbrennt, wobei die dabei entwickelten Treibgase durch die Entlastungsöffnungen entweichen können. Patronenhülse und Geschoss werden auf diese Weise nicht von einander getrennt, so dass weder ein Druckschaden noch ein mechanischer Schaden entstehen kann.Accordingly, if a cartridge of the type in question up to the melting temperature of the molten material or molten metal of z. B. 180 ° C is heated, then the melting material melts in the passages between the drive chamber in the cartridge case and the outside environment. If the primer and finally the propellant charge are then ignited as the temperature continues to increase, no pressure can build up in the propellant chamber since the exposed passages act as pressure relief openings. The result is that the propellant only burns off, whereby the propellant gases thereby developed can escape through the discharge openings. Cartridge sleeve and projectile are not separated in this way, so that neither a pressure damage nor a mechanical damage can occur.
Dieses wurde in Versuchen bestätigt, in denen eine Vielzahl derartiger Patronen in einer üblichen Transportkiste aus Blech aufgenommen war. Es wurde nicht einmal die Blechkiste wesentlich beschädigt.This has been confirmed in experiments in which a plurality of such cartridges were accommodated in a conventional sheet metal transport box. Not even the tin box was significantly damaged.
Die Passagen zwischen der Treibladung und dem Äußeren der Patronenhülse können vielfältig gestaltet sein: So kann z. B. das Gehäuse des Zündhütchens aus einem derartigen Schmelzmaterial bzw. Schmelzmetall gefertigt werden; auch rund um das Zündhütchen angeordnete Entlastungsbohrungen, die mit dem Schmelzmaterial ausgefüllt werden, sind möglich. Vorzugsweise werden hierbei zwei oder vier Bohrungen vorgesehen. Ebenso sind Bohrungen von der Treibkammer ausgehend durch die Seitenwand der Patronenhülse möglich.The passages between the propellant and the exterior of the cartridge case can be varied: So z. B. the housing of the primer are made of such a melting material or molten metal; Also around the primer arranged relief holes that are filled with the melt material are possible. Preferably, two or four holes are provided here. Likewise, bores are possible from the drive chamber, starting through the side wall of the cartridge case.
Die Passagen, wie immer sie gestaltet sind, müssen so ausgebildet sein, dass beim normalen Verschuss der Geschosse aus der Patronenhülse das Schmelzmaterial den hohen Drücken innerhalb der Treibkammer standhält.The passages, however designed, must be designed so that during the normal firing of the projectiles from the cartridge case, the melt material will withstand the high pressures within the propellant chamber.
Die Druckfestigkeit wird unterstützt, dass die Passagen konisch sich nach außen verjüngen oder als Stufen- oder Gewindebohrungen etc. ausgeführt sind.The compressive strength is supported so that the passages taper conically outward or as stepped or threaded holes etc. are executed.

Die Wand der Treibkammer 4 ist mit Überströmöffnungen 6 versehen, die in eine Niederdruckkammer 7 münden, die unterhalb des Geschossbodens 8 gelegen ist. Die Treibkammer 4 ist mit einem zentralen Gewindestutzen 9 versehen, der in ein zentrales Gewinde 10 im Geschossboden 8 eingreift. Mit dem Geschossboden 8 ist noch ein Leuchtsatz 11 verbunden, der durch den Gewindestutzen 9 bis in die Treibkammer taucht.The wall of the

Die Treibladung 5 wird durch ein Zündhütchen 13 pyrotechnisch gezündet, wobei das Zündhütchen 13 mittig in den Boden der Patronenhülse 3 eingesetzt ist.The
Zwischen dem Boden der Treibkammer 4 und dem unteren Boden der Patronenhülse 3 sind konisch verlaufende Kanäle 14 vorgesehen, die sich zum Boden der Patronenhülse hin verjüngen. Die Kanäle 14 haben z. B. am Boden der Treibkammer bei dem Kaliber von 40 mm einen Durchmesser von 7 mm und verjüngen sich bis auf ungefähr 6 mm.Between the bottom of the
Es können z. B. symmetrisch zu der Mittellinie des Geschosses und zum Zündhütchen zwei Kanäle 14 oder drei bzw. vier Kanäle vorgesehen sein, die um das Zündhütchen gelegen sind.It can z. B. symmetrical to the center line of the projectile and the primer two
Die sich nach außen verjüngenden Kanäle 14 sind mit einem Schmelzmetall 15 ausgefüllt; dieses Schmelzmetall ist z. B. eine Wismut-Zinnlegierung mit 30 bis 40 Gewichtsprozent Wismut und 60 bis 70 Gewichtsprozent Zinn. Je nach dem Prozentsatz liegt der Schmelzpunkt dieser Legierung etwa zwischen 140 und 175° C. Die Legierung ist gut schlagfest und nicht wasserlöslich.The outwardly
Das Schmelzmetall 15 kann nach entsprechender Erwärmung z. B. in die Kanäle 14 gegossen werden; oder es werden konische Niete aus dem Schmelzmetall vorbereitet, die dann in die Kanäle 14 z. B. eingeschlagen oder eingeschraubt werden.The
Mit dem Schmelzmetall 15 wird die Treibkammer dicht und druckfest nach außen abgedichtet, so dass die Patrone 1 wie eine herkömmliche Patrone aus einer Rohrwaffe abgeschossen werden kann. Durch die konische Ausbildung der Kanäle wird verhindert, dass durch hohen Druck in der Treibkammer das Schmelzmetall 15 aus den Kanälen 14 gedrückt wird.With the
Wenn, wie oben erwähnt, z. B. in Folge eines Brandes die Temperatur in der Umgebung der Patrone 1 auf 140° C bis 175° C ansteigt, so schmilzt das Schmelzmaterial 15 in den Kanälen 14 und legt diese frei. Wenn dann die Temperatur weiter bis über die Zündtemperatur von etwa 220° C des Zündhütchens 13 ansteigt, so zündet dieses und damit auch die Treibladung 5. Die beim Abbrennen der Treibladung entstehenden Treibgase können zwanglos durch die freien Kanäle 14 abgeführt werden, so dass sich in der Treibkammer kein Druck aufbauen kann und daher die Treibladung 5 auch nicht explosionsartig umgesetzt wird. Patronenhülse 3 und Geschoss 2 bleiben weiterhin mechanisch über die Gewinde 9 und 10 miteinander verbunden, so dass in der Umgebung der Patrone 1 weder große Schäden durch hohen Druck noch durch Fortschleudern der Patronenhülse und des Geschosses auftreten.If, as mentioned above, z. B. as a result of a fire, the temperature in the vicinity of the

Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die Entlastungskanäle 14, wie gezeigt, entweder zu beiden Seiten des zentralen Zündhütchens 13 angeordnet oder in einer anderen beliebigen Anordnung um das Zündhütchen.Also in this embodiment, the
Diese Patrone kann ebenfalls wie eine herkömmliche Patrone abgeschossen werden; im Falle eines Brandes oder dergl. ist die Funktion die gleiche wie zu

In diesem Falle ist das Zündhütchen 13 in ein Zündhütchengehäuse 14' eingesetzt, das z. B. in den Boden der Patronenhülse 3 in eine gestufte Bohrung eingeschraubt ist. Das Zündhütchengehäuse 14' besteht aus dem erwähnten Schmelzmetall 15.In this case, the
Steigt z. B. bei einem Brand die Umgebungstemperatur über die Schmelztemperatur des Schmelzmetalles 15, so schmilzt das Zündhütchengehäuse 14' und gibt damit einen Entlastungskanal entsprechend der Einsatzöffnung 14 zwischen dem Boden der Treibkammer und dem Boden der Patronenhülse 3 frei. Wenn jetzt das Zündhütchen 13 bei weiter steigender Temperatur zündet und damit auch die Treibladung 5 zündet, so brennt diese lediglich ab, ohne dass sich ein Druck aufbauen kann, so dass Patronenhülse und Geschoss nicht auseinander gerissen werden. Druckschäden und große mechanische Schäden werden vermieden.Climb z. Example, in a fire, the ambient temperature above the melting temperature of the
Auch wenn im Vorhergehenden die Entlastungskanäle 14, 14' stets vom Boden der Treibkammer zum äußeren Boden der Patronenhülse reichen, so ist es für jeden Fachmann geläufig, diese Kanäle auch anders anzuordnen, z. B. durch die Seitenwand der Patronenhülse und der Treibkammer zu führen.Although in the foregoing the
Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, an Stelle der erwähnten Wismut-Zinnlegierung andere niedrig schmelzende Materialien zu verwenden, sofern diese fest genug sind und die Entlastungskanäle vollständig abdichten, so dass ein normaler Abschuss der Patrone aus einer Rohrwaffe möglich ist.It is of course also possible to use other low-melting materials in place of the mentioned bismuth-tin alloy, provided that they are strong enough and completely seal the discharge channels, so that a normal launch of the cartridge from a gun barrel is possible.
Claims (8)
- Cartridge munition (1), particularly of medium caliber, with a cartridge shell (3) and a projectile(2) inserted into the cartridge shell and mechanically connected to it whereby a pyrotechnic propulsive charge (5) is located in a propulsion chamber (4) of the cartridge shell (3) that is ignited by means of a pyrotechnic igniter (13), and whose propulsive gases exert a force on the base (8) of the projectile (2) when they burn, by means of which the projectile (2) is driven out of the cartridge shell (3), characterized in that channels (14) exit from the propulsion chamber (4) that penetrate the cartridge shell (3) and that are filled with a fusible, solid, pressure-tight material (15) whose melting temperature is lower than the ignition temperatures of the pyrotechnic igniter (13) and the propulsion charge (5) of the projectile and that the channels (14) narrow as they progress from the base of the propulsion chamber (4) to the exit.
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 1, characterized in that the channels (14) extend from the base of the propulsion chamber (4) to the outer base of the cartridge shell (3)
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the channels narrow conically.
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 2, characterized in that the channels are stepped drillings.
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 2, characterized in that the channels (14) are positioned around the igniter (13) of the propulsive charge.
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 5, characterized in that the pyrotechnic igniter (13) includes a housing (14') of fusible material (15) that is inserted into the base of the cartridge shell (3) and that extends into the propulsion chamber (4).
- Cartridge munition as in any of the preceding Claims, characterized in that the fusible solid material is a fusible metal (15).
- Cartridge munition as in Claim 7, characterized in that the fusible material is a metal alloy of at least bismuth and tin.
