Definitions

  • From the CH 691 143 A5 is a device for measuring the bullet velocity at the mouth of a barrel of high cadence known. After measuring the speed of the programming of the igniter takes place immediately after leaving the bullet mouth. For this type of programming, the igniter has a programming coil. A similar device describes the CH 693 248 A5 ,
  • the energy and / or data supply for the ammunition is realized via a galvanic connection line between the system electronics of the weapon and ammunition electronics ,
  • This line is located within the ammunition from the cartridge bottom to the electronics in the attic floor.
  • the line must be a laborable, continuous and firm connection.
  • parts of the line with the cartridge bottom while shot are thrown backwards out of the gun, but more parts of the line but mouth must leave the tube. This can lead to undesirable residues of the line or parts of the pipe in the pipe, which is a danger, in particular for the operation of the weapon, for example in a tank.
  • DE 44 38 157 C1 relates to a pyrotechnic separation device, the propellant charge gases act on a reactive part, which is freely longitudinally movable in a housing.
  • the active part stores the energy generated in the propellant gases and then acts exposed to the material to be cut. When severing the material, the active part releases the stored energy again.
  • the task to be solved is to design a separating device so that it is possible with it to cut through materials with greater wall thickness.
  • the invention takes on the task of making a definable separation of the continuous, plug-less line to prevent unwanted residues remain in the pipe.
  • the invention is based on the idea of incorporating a separating device with which the separation of the line takes place as early as possible. This should preferably be separated on the propellant lighter.
  • the early disconnection supports the initial entrainment of the defined severed line. As a result, cable or cable remains are taken out of the pipe to the front (driven).
  • the separator is in this case incorporated into the ammunition and consists in a preferred embodiment mainly of a guided in a tightly clamped cylinder piston with a preferably sharp edge as a cutting device, which is positioned in the unloaded state by a shearing collar.
  • the cable is preferably fixedly guided in a protective tube connected to the propellant charge lighter to the tip of the propellant lighter, to which the separator is attached, and further routed to the bullet tail of the projectile.
  • the cable is guided in the upper region of the separating device, in this case the cylinder, through a bore, preferably transverse to the direction of acceleration of the cutting device, so that when the cutting device moves forwards, the cable is separated by a sharp edge.
  • the cable can thus be routed along the first stretch of the propellant detonator and on the way down to the lower level. Since the exposed between the propellant charge lighter and the ground floor cable piece is accelerated together with the projectile forward from the tube, the separator is preferably integrated with the propellant charge.
  • a piston is provided, which is guided in a cylinder in the pressureless state by suitable measures, such as a clamped Scherbund, immovable. Only by a build-up of pressure inside the propellant charge igniter, which is caused by the ignition when firing the charged cartridge and ignites the powder bed in the course of the shot development, the piston is set in motion.
  • a separating device such as a cutting edge on the opposite surface of the pressure area of the piston, the preferably transverse to the piston cable is sheared off. This occurs at an early stage of the shot development.
  • the separation of the cable is thus coupled with the necessary pressure buildup for the shot development, which has the further advantage that the time of separation is reproducible.
  • the cable is already disconnected when the pyrotechnic materials have been ignited in the primer.
  • the components of the separator are preferably encapsulated to prevent debris from being generated by the separator itself.
  • the closed up to the time of the shot line also allows in a favorable manner a Umtemptechnik up to this time.
  • the additional components can be modified without affecting the requirements for the propellant charge igniter.
  • the interior of the propellant charge igniter can be protected, for example, by sealing rings or discs on the piston against ingress of moisture.
  • a large-caliber ammunition 100 is shown in section with the parts necessary for the explanation.
  • the ammunition 100 has a propellant charge 1, which is integrated in the drive and part of the cartridge bottom 2.
  • the propellant charge igniter 1 has a line or a cable 3, via which electrical energy and / or data are conducted to an electronic detonator 4 in the projectile 101.
  • the cable 3 is guided in a preferred embodiment firmly in a connected to the propellant charge igniter 1 protective tube 5 to the tip 6 of the propellant lighter 1 and preferably laid without further interruption from the propellant charge igniter 1 to the bullet tail 7. It can then be firmly anchored there.
  • a separating device 102 (FIG. 2) is attached to the tip 6 of the propellant charge igniter 1 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) preferably screwed onto the ignition tube 1a. This separator 102 allows the separation of the cable 3 in the area 8a.
  • the separating device 102 may consist mainly of a piston 9 guided in a fixedly clamped cylinder 8 with a sharp edge which is positioned in the unloaded state by a shearing collar 10.
  • the cable 3 is guided through a preferably lying transversely to the direction of acceleration of the piston 9 bore 8a, so that upon movement of the piston 9 forward, the cable 3 is separated by the sharp edge of the piston 9.
  • the acceleration of the piston 9 is achieved in that the piston 9 is acted upon by a through hole 14 arranged on the inside with the pending internal pressure of the propellant charge igniter 1 and the strength of the shear collar 10 is exceeded.
  • the components cylinder 8 and piston 9 are integrated into the frontally arranged screw plug 15 of the propellant charge igniter 1.
  • piston 9 and cylinder 8 are held and screwed by screwed or plugged parts such as union nut 11 and bushing 12 in the screw plug 15, so that by the parts of the separator 102 itself no residues outside of the propellant charge 1 can arise.
  • the necessary for the laboratory of the cable 3 and the components or parts necessary free space 13 can be potted if necessary with a liquid, curable material, eg. B. with epoxy resin.
  • the piston 9 is preferably made of a material having a higher strength than the material of the cable 3.
  • the piston 3 consists of a metal.
  • a function optimization on the piston 3 can be achieved by varying the shear band thickness s, the shear collar geometry and / or the edge geometry.
  • the cutting edge should preferably extend as far as possible at an acute angle w in order to effect an optimal separation ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the thickness s of the shear collar 10 can vary depending on the level of pressure inside the propellant charge launcher 1.
  • the example, round trained shear collar 10 ( Fig. 3a ) can also reduce the shear surfaces to a shape as in Fig. 3b have shown.
  • the pressurization is preferably through a bore 14 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) realized in the screw plug 15.
  • the diameter and the shape of the bore 14 (14.1, 14.2, 14.3) depend on the physical and geometric conditions at the tip 6 of the propellant charge igniter 1.
  • the bore 14.2 may also be formed in multiple stages.
  • a pyrotechnic additional charge 16 can be integrated into piston 9. This additional charge 16 is ignited by the gases in the propellant charge igniter 1 and supports the movement of the piston. 9
  • the shearing action of the shearing collar 10 can be further assisted in a suitable manner, in which an undercut 17 between the shank 10 and the piston surface is provided ( Fig. 5a ).
  • the piston 9 can have a free rotation 18 on the circumference ( Fig. 5b ).
  • sealing elements 19, 20 can be integrated.
  • An in Fig. 5c illustrated embodiment shows an O-ring seal 19 made of preferably soft material, which was integrated in the piston 9.
  • Another version is in Fig. 5d demonstrated.
  • the seal is provided by a sealing washer 20, which over the entire inner diameter of the cylinder. 8 acts and is arranged below the piston 9.
  • this seal 20 is preferably a soft material, such as plastic.
