Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method in firing artillery projectiles, such as various types of shells, from rifled barrels, for preventing the degree of wear of the barrel from which the projectiles are fired from having a negative effect on the muzzle velocity of the projectiles.
  • the invention also encompasses a number of artillery projectiles or shells designed according to said method, and a method of manufacturing these.
  • the increase in diameter due to wear is determined in millimetres over the lands of the barrel rifling at a point 25 mm forward of the origin of the rifling, that is to say where the rifling commences, whilst another, older method relies on determining something called the "kontrisse displacement", which involves determining the forward creep of the origin of the rifling in the barrel resulting from wear.
  • the barrel lands are introduced with successively rising end faces inclined in relation to the axis of the barrel, and it is against these end faces that bands of the projectiles or shells must be rammed home in the actual loading operation, so that the bands in this so- called ram-home position afford an effective propellant gas obturation forward in the barrel.
  • the propellant charge of the projectile is then ignited, the propellant gases thereby formed behind the projectile will force the projectile forwards in the barrel under simultaneous deformation of the band, the angular twist of the barrel rifling imparting a rotation to the projectile.
  • the actual ram-home position of the projectiles is primarily defined by factors other than simply the position of the origin of the barrel rifling, and this applies especially in so-called cartridge ammunition, in which the case position defines the position of the cartridge and hence of the projectile in the barrel.
  • the case position defines the position of the cartridge and hence of the projectile in the barrel.
  • the projectile and the cartridge case containing the propellant charge are in fact normally united with one another up to the point of firing, when the propellant gases formed by ignition of the propellant charge force the projectile out of the case. It is therefore primarily the position of the case in the loading or chamber position of the barrel which normally defines the overall position of the round in the barrel and because this case position is protected from the hot propellant gases by the cartridge case it will be subject to substantially less wear than the actual barrel .
  • the aforementioned measuring methods for determining the barrel wear therefore imply a determination of the barrel wear which most rapidly affects the muzzle velocity of the projectiles fired from the barrel, namely that which occurs at the actual origin of the rifling, that is to say in direct proximity to the ram- home position of said projectiles in the barrel for firing.
  • the projectiles are when firing normally always rammed home in the same position in the barrel designed to bring the band of the shell into proper contact against the barrel rifling, that is to say the origin of the rifling, in a new barrel
  • the forward creep of the origin of the rifling in the barrel that is to say away from the ram-home position of the projectiles, in fact means that in a worn barrel, in which the origin of the rifling has been shifted forwards in the barrel, i.e.
  • the present invention now affords a solution to this problem in that it outlines a general principle for maintaining the design muzzle velocity (Vo) of a new barrel for a certain type of projectile or shell, even in a worn barrel.
  • the invention can then in turn be divided up into a number of different methods for embodying this principle, some of which inherently means that limited modifications will have to be made to the projectiles or shells used in the application of the invention. These modifications, however, are not so comprehensive that they cannot be made both to existing stocks of projectiles or shells and ones newly produced.
  • the invention is therefore characterized in that the obturation between the rifled inside of the barrel used in firing and the shell band on the projectile or shell thrust into the ram-home position in the barrel is rendered independent of the degree of wear of the barrel used for firing.
  • the basic principle behind the invention is therefore that the position of the band of the projectiles or shells, used in firing, in relation to the origin of the rifling, that is to say where the barrel rifling begins, must be rendered independent of the origin of the rifling in the barrel, the position of which varies according to the degree of barrel wear, and the obturation between the band of each projectile must thereby be completely sound even in heavily worn barrels .
  • a first method for fulfilling this basic principle means that the ram-home position in the barrel of the projectiles or shells used for firing is not fixed once and for all at the time the barrel is manufactured, as is normally the case, but is instead made to vary according to the actual position of the origin of the rifling in the barrel for each round fired. This means, therefore, that the ram-home position for the shells or projectiles is successively shifted forwards in the barrel according to its degree of wear.
  • this development of the invention means that the shells or projectiles are rammed home to the point of contact between the band of the projectile or shell and the origin of the rifling, which is independent of the origin of the rifling in the barrel, the position of which varies according to the degree of barrel wear.
  • cartridge ammunition that is to say ammunition in which the shell or the projectile is united during the loading sequence with a cartridge case containing the propellant charge
  • the elements will have to be rammed home with such force that the projectile or the shell is, if necessary, already detached from the cartridge case at the time of ramming home, that is to say before its propellant charge has been ignited, and the propellant charge is prevented from escaping in the barrel chamber position before it is ignited in that it comprises, for example, so-called multi-hole propellant manufactured in larger pieces or in that the constituent smaller particles of propellant are vacuum-packed.
  • the requirement according to the invention is that the band of the shell or the projectile must already form effective obturation against the origin of the rifling before firing, whilst the case position of the charge casing in the barrel must be unchanged even in the case of a worn barrel. In the case of worn barrels, therefore, both the projectile and the cartridge case will already have separated from one another before the cartridge propellant was ignited. This is because, as stated previously, any degree of wear caused by the position of the cartridge in the barrel is of far less significance than the barrel wear and the axial creep of the origin of the rifling that varies according to this.
  • Effect can also be given to the basic idea behind the invention by firing shells or projectiles provided with slightly deformable bands, the position of which in a longitudinal direction has been adjusted in order to afford a perfect obturation against the origin of the rifling, even in heavily worn barrels and where the material of the band is so adjusted that when loading in slightly worn barrels the band is sufficiently deformed by the origin of the rifling to give the same ram-home position as in the case of the worn barrel.
  • the ram-home position of the individual projectile or shell in the barrel can be maintained unaltered regardless of the degree of barrel wear, whilst obtaining the desired obturation between the band of the shell or the projectile and the origin of the rifling in any worn state of the barrel.
  • the next step in the development of the invention involves providing the projectiles or shells used for firing with bands which are displaceable in the longitudinal direction of each shell and the position of which in the longitudinal direction when ramming home the projectile or the shell in the barrel from which it is to be fired is adapted to a position that varies according to the degree of barrel wear.
  • the bands are therefore in the initial position in their longitudinally more forward position, following which the degree of barrel wear when ramming the shell home in the barrel adjusts the position of the moveable band to the degree of wear through direct contact between the moveable band and the origin of the rifling.
  • a further development of the projectiles with displaceable band further means that their band is divided up into at least two different bands, at least one of which, arranged closest to the front end of the projectile or shell in its firing direction, is displaceable within a limited range in the longitudinal direction of the projectile.
  • One of these two bands therefore, the forward, displaceable band, will in its forward position serve for an adjustment to heavily- worn barrels, whilst in its rear position together with the other band, the fixed band, it is adapted to less worn barrels.
  • This projectile variant having a displaceable forward band and a fixed rear band can then in turn be augmented by a ductile, that is to say plastically deformable, intermediate part, which whilst limiting the displacement of the movable band in slightly worn barrels also gives rise to an improved propellant gas obturation against the inside of the barrel.
  • a ductile that is to say plastically deformable, intermediate part, which whilst limiting the displacement of the movable band in slightly worn barrels also gives rise to an improved propellant gas obturation against the inside of the barrel.
  • the ductile intermediate part at the same time ensures that the forward displaceable band maintains an obturation position as far forward as possible against the origin of the rifling.
  • the ductile intermediate part might in turn be composed of a deformable copper or copper-nickel alloy or a heat- resistant plastic.
  • the band of the projectile or shell is given an entirely new design with a lip seal, which is angled rearwards — Q O _ in the firing direction of the projectile or the shell and is at least to some extent plastically deformable.
  • This band design therefore differs radically from the plane, annular circumferential surface of the conventional band, which lies radially somewhat outside the actual circumferential surface of the projectile or shell, and which is virtually adapted to the inside of the barrel solely by dent of the fact that the barrel rifling lands break through the parts of the band situated outside the circumferential surface of the projectile.
  • a ductile pure copper or a suitable copper alloy having the same characteristics is proposed as a suitable material for the aforementioned lip seal.
  • the rear-facing flanges of said lip seal in the firing direction of the projectile may be supported, for example, by a tubular support member in the shape, for example, of a deformable copper tube, which gives the lip seal a greater deformability in that this tubular component comprises an inner cavity giving it a substantially greater deformation area.

  • shells 1 (these may accordingly be provided with various types of bands)
  • 2 denoting the front, pointed parts of the shells
  • the shell 1 illustrated in Fig. 1, 2, 2a and 2b is provided with a conventional band 9. As can be seen from Fig. 2a, this affords an effective obturation against the origin of the rifling 7a in a new barrel 5a. It can further be seen from Fig. 2b that when the shell is rammed home in a worn barrel 5b, the band 9 of the same shell 1 leaves a gap between the inside of the barrel and the band 9, since the origin of the rifling 7b has shifted forward in the barrel due to wearing of the barrel 5b.
  • Fig. 3 shows the result of ramming home a shell 1 in a worn barrel 5b.
  • the shell is provided with a conventional band 10.
  • the band affords good obturation against the more forward origin of the rifling 7b in the worn barrel 5b, but at the same time it can be seen from the figure that the shell 1 has been rammed home with a force so great that it has travelled out of the cartridge case ⁇ by the distance x in the figure.
  • This distance x is therefore equal to the forward movement of the origin of the rifling 7b in the firing direction of the barrel caused by the barrel wear.
  • the shell 1 shown in Fig. 4 is a wholly conventional shell having a conventional band 11.
  • the part of the shell 1 which reoccurs with different band shapes in Fig. 7-9 is marked by a dashed line.
  • Fig. 5 now illustrates the variant of the invention which involves providing shells with a more forward band 12, intended to function in both new and heavily worn barrels (compare the position of the band 12 on the shell 1 with the position of the band 11 on the shell 1 in Fig. 4) .
  • the band 12 is therefore made from an easily deformable material, such that when the shell is rammed home in a new barrel it will be sufficiently deformed to produce the same ram-home position in the new barrel as in the heavily worn barrel, where the band, due to its relatively forward position, there also affords perfect obturation against the origin of the rifling.
  • Fig. 6 then in turn illustrates the variant of the invention according to which the shells 1 are to be provided both with a more forward, preferably somewhat narrower and more easily deformable band 13 and an entirely conventional band like the band 11 in Fig. 4.
  • the forward, narrower band must only be resistant enough, when the shell is rammed home in new, unworn barrels, for it to be deformed to a degree sufficient to allow the ram- home position of the shell to remain constant regardless of the degree of barrel wear.
  • the forward band assumes the obturation function against the inside of the barrel.
  • Fig. 7 shows a further variant of the invention in which the band 14 of the shell 1 is made axially displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the shell, so that it can adjust both to new barrels and barrels with a greatly varying degree of wear.
  • the range within which the band 14 has been made axially displaceable has been denoted by 15 in the drawing.
  • Fig. 7a and 7b the function of the displaceable band 14 has been illustrated in more detail for a new barrel 5a and a heavily worn barrel 5b.
  • the displaceable band 14 assumes its rearmost position in the firing direction of the shell 1 when the shell is rammed home in a new barrel 5a, since the band 14 already affords obturation in this position.
  • Fig. 7b when the shell 1 is loaded in a heavily worn barrel 5b the band 14 is forced to assume its most forward position in order to afford the desired obturation against the inside of the barrel 5b.
  • the reference numeral 16 denotes a spline- like guide, which ensures that the band does not begin to slip in its groove in the circumferential surface of the shell. Regardless of the design shape pf the band, it is this which must ensure that the desired rotation is imparted to the shell in its trajectory outside the muzzle of the barrel.
  • FIG. 8 this illustrates a further variant of the shell 1 provided with both a forward, moveable band 17 and a more conventional fixed rear band 18.
  • This variant has only been illustrated in a heavily worn barrel. In a new, unworn barrel the function will be as in Fig. 7a.
  • Fig. 9a and 9b then in turn illustrate a further variant of the band having a fixed band part 20 and moveable band part 19. A third band part 21 is then arranged between moveable band part 19 and the fixed band part 20.
  • This third band part 21 is made from a ductile, plastically deformable material and its dual function is to ensure that the forward band part 19 affords a satisfactory gas-tight obturation against the inside of the barrel and through its own compression to further improve this gas-tight obturation, at all times regardless of the degree of wear of the particular barrel (5a, 5b) used for firing.
  • Fig. 10a and 10b further illustrate yet another development of the invention, according to which the outside diameter of the band 22 of the shell 1 has been made adjustable to both new and worn barrels.
  • this flexibility is achieved in that the band is designed with a lip seal 23, which is angled rearwards in the firing direction of the shell, whilst the band is entirely made of a material which is to some degree plastically deformable and sufficiently ductile when fired through the barrel to allow the lands of the barrel rifling to form grooves therein and to give the shell the desired rotation in its trajectory.
  • Fig. 10a and 10b further illustrate yet another development of the invention, according to which the outside diameter of the band 22 of the shell 1 has been made adjustable to both new and worn barrels.
  • this flexibility is achieved in that the band is designed with a lip seal 23, which is angled rearwards in the firing direction of the shell, whilst the band is entirely made of a material which is to some degree plastically deformable and sufficiently ductile when fired through the barrel to allow the lands of
  • a shell 1 having a band formed in this way will, when rammed home in a new barrel 5a, assume the same ram-home position as when the same shell is rammed home in a heavily worn barrel 5b (see Fig. 10b) .
  • the lip seal 23 permits an adequate deformation of the band.
  • the lip seal 23 on its inside has been provided at its rear-facing edge in the firing direction of the shell with an annular, ductile compressible insert 24, which itself like the lip seal is of annular shape and is pressed into an annular groove 25 under the lip seal 23 of the actual band 22.
  • the fact that the annular insert 24 is made from a deformable material and also has an internal cavity means that the lip seal 23 has an extra large deformation range.
  • Fig. 11 is primarily included in order to illustrate a method of manufacturing shells having a moveable band. This also represents a variant of the present invention .
  • Fig. 11 therefore shows a partially sectional view of a shell 26, which is assembled from a forward shell half 27, which is internally threaded at 28 and is in turn screwed together with a rear shell half 29 via an external thread 30 formed in the shell half 29.
  • An annular obturator 31 is furthermore arranged in the joint between the shell halves. Together, the shell halves 27 and 29 have a common explosive-filled interior space 32.
  • the shell 26 is further provided with a moveable band 33. In the fitted state the band is displaceable from an initially forward position, in which it appears in the figure, to a rear position. The displacement of the band in the longitudinal direction of the shell is limited by a stop edge 35.
  • the band 33 is furthermore guided, so that it cannot rotate, on splined grooves/lands 34 between its respective limit positions .
  • the shell 26 shown in Fig. 11 having a firing direction a is very easily assembled in that it is made with a forward and rear half 27 and 29 respectively, which are screwed together.
  • the two shell halves can suitably be produced on modern automatic machines.
  • the copper band 33 is pressed over the splined grooves/the lands 34 in the shell half 29, following which the obturator 31 is fitted and the shell halves 27 and 29 are screwed together.
  • the shell is then ready for the explosive to be poured into the space 32 and for fitting of a fuse.
  • the general method of producing banded, explosive shells by screwing two shell parts together, in which the band is first pressed onto one of the shell halves, represents a distinct simplification of the otherwise complicated fitting of the actual band.
  • the method is therefore suitable for all types of shells that can be manufactured in two halves.
