Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pyrotechnic chain for igniting a main engine load of a missile after ejection thereof from a launch tube or carrier, as described for example in the document DE 4 127 023 A .
  • the ignition of the main propulsive charge of a missile occur if the missile has received sufficient acceleration at launch, preferably in value and duration, and after the missile has traveled a sufficient distance.
  • a known solution for this purpose is to use a pyrotechnic ignition system which comprises an arming device capable of entering the "armed” state under the effect of the acceleration imparted during the ejection of the missile, a pyrotechnic delay defining a duration between ejection and ignition of the main charge, and a safety device with microbeads interposed between the main charge and a relay charge ignited at the end of combustion of the pyrotechnic delay.
  • the microbead security device comprises a bed of microbeads which flow through openings disengaged by the arrival of the arming device in the "armed” state, thus, in case of non-passage to the "armed” state.
  • the microbeads could not flow or flow completely and form a screen preventing the ignition of the load Although the ignition is applied to the main load despite ignition of the relay charge after combustion of the pyrotechnic delay, such a solution is implemented by the applicant for the "Mistral" tactical missile propulsion systems.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a solution with improved reliability, especially in the long term, to the problem of the ignition safety of the main propulsive charge of missiles after ejection.
  • locking in "armed” mode occurs after a time defined by the combustion of a first delay (arming delay) and is not dependent on the flow of a bed of microbeads.
  • Longer-term reliability can then be obtained because the behavior for a long life of a pyrotechnic composition is well controllable and characterizable.
  • the screen device may be a bed of balls that can flow through a closed opening when the cocking device is in the rest position and disengaged when the cocking device is in the active position.
  • the beads preferably microbeads, have no delay function. They fulfill a security function.
  • the balls In the case where the second relay load is carried by a moving part released during the ignition of the first relay load, the balls also provide a damping function to stop a sudden arrival of the second relay load in the position of ignition of the main charge.
  • the pyrotechnic chain shown on the figure 1 comprises a cylinder 10 in the rear part of which is housed a pyrotechnic arresting support 20 and in the front part of which is housed a part 30 carrying a pyrotechnic trajectory delay.
  • the terms "back” and “front” are used herein with reference to the direction of propagation of the combustion along the pyrotechnic chain.
  • the carrier 20 has a sleeve-shaped sealingly engaged within the cylinder 10. Inside the sleeve 20 there is fixed a pyrotechnic delay arming 22 comprising a pyrotechnic composition to block 22 housed in a casing 22 b.
  • the arming delay is immobilized by a ring 23 screwed into the sleeve 20 and acting on a gland 24 and a seal 25 at the rear of the arming delay.
  • an initiating charge or squib 26 At the rear of the arm delay 22 is arranged an initiating charge or squib 26, a passage 27 communicating the housing of the squib 26 with the block of pyrotechnic composition 22 is through the ring 23, the stuffing tow 24 and the envelope 22 b .
  • the pin 26 (shown only on the figure 1 ) Is mounted in a holder 26 screwed into a ring 28 itself is screwed on the rear wall of cylinder 10.
  • a pyrotechnic relay charge 29 At the front of the pyrotechnic composition block 22 a is fixed a pyrotechnic relay charge 29.

  • the casing 51 is provided with a bottom whose central portion 51 has a reduced thickness forms a lid.
  • a spring 42 not prestressed or weakly prestressed in compression is housed between the bottom 50 and an outer shoulder 43 of the cocking ring.
  • a bed of balls 60 is disposed between the bottom of the casing 51, on the rear side, and the front of the piece 30 and the trajectory retardation 32.
  • the bed of balls 60 is contained in the cylinder 10.
  • This one has openings 18 distributed at its periphery, in the vicinity of the bottom of the casing 51.
  • the openings 18 are closed off on the outside by the front end portion 40 c of the cocking ring which is engaged without play on the cylinder 10.
  • the ring arming 40 has openings 44 disposed at its periphery in the same manner as the openings 18. In the position of the figure 1 , the openings 44 are closed on the inside by the cylinder 10.
  • the cylinder 10 and the cocking ring 45 are immobilized with respect to each other in rotation in order to avoid misalignment of the openings 18 and 44. This effect, a pin 45 is engaged and immobilized in a radial orifice of the cylinder and projects into a slot 46 formed longitudinally in the rear part of the cocking ring 40.
  • the balls 60 are for example ceramic or glass microbeads whose diameter is typically 100 to 500 microns, for example about 200 microns.
  • the pyrotechnic chain is closed at its periphery by a case 62, for example metal, which connects the bottom 50 to the cylinder 10.

  • the operation of the pyrotechnic chain is as follows.
  • the pin 26 is lit when the missile is ejected. As known per se, this ignition can be achieved by power supply by means of contacts provided on a tube or launching support.
  • the generated pressure acting on the sleeve 20 causes the break of the pin 11, the displacement of the sleeve 20 from its position of rest, against the elastic force exerted by the spring 35, and the ignition of the load 22 has the pyrotechnic arresting delay 22.
  • the prestressed rod 12 is housed in a housing 19 formed in the inner wall of the cylinder 11, blocking the sleeve 20 in the active position.
  • the ball 14 is erased in the housing 20b formed at the rear of the front end portion 20c of the sleeve 20.
  • the acceleration imparted to the missile causes a forward movement of the cock ring 40, the locking ball 14 being erased.
  • the spring 42 is compressed.
  • the arming ring 40 is in an advanced position sufficient so that the ball 16 ceases to be blocked by the portion 40 b of the arming ring and is opposite a portion 40 d of the cocking ring 40 of inner diameter greater than that of the portion 40 b and progressively connecting thereto.
  • the openings 44 are then facing the openings 18 and the flow of the balls 60 can begin. It will be noted that the openings 44 are preferably of a size substantially greater than that of the openings 18. It is then in the position illustrated on FIG. figure 2 , arming authorization position.
  • the spring 42 is calibrated to oppose the arrival in the arming clearance position with release of the ball 16 if the initial acceleration of the missile is less than a predetermined minimum value.
  • the relay charge 29 When the combustion of the charge 22 has the pyrotechnic arming delay 22 is complete, the relay charge 29 is turned on. The generated pressure acting on the piston member 30 causes the pin 13 to break, releasing the piece 30 while at the same time the pyrotechnic path delay 32 is turned on. Under the action of the spring 35 and the gases produced by the relay charge 29, the piece 30 is moved forwards from its retracted position and the part of the piece 30 located at the rear of the housing 36 comes to block the ball 16 in a locking position ( figure 3 ). In this position, by pressing on the part 40 d of the cocking ring, the ball 16 acts as a non-return vis-à-vis the cocking ring 40, which can slightly go back when the acceleration launching stops producing its effects ( figure 4 ). The cocking ring 40 is then in the active position and the flow of the balls 60 continues. The active position of the arming ring corresponding to the "armed" mode.

  • the balls 60 provide a damping function to avoid abrupt contact with the lid 51 a .
  • the position reached is that of the figure 4 .
  • the duration of combustion of the pyrotechnic trajectory delay 32 is chosen to ensure that the ignition of the main charge takes place at a point on the trajectory of the missile located at a sufficient distance from the launching location.
  • the relay charge 34 is on and ignites the relay charge 52 to cause the ignition of the main propellant charge, as shown in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the ignition safety is ensured as follows.
  • the ball 16 is returned to the housing 36 and blocked by the portion 40 b of the arming ring 40 as in the rest position.
  • There is no movement of the part 30 and the distance between the booster charge 34 and the lid 51a is such that the combustion gases generated by the booster charge 34 will disperse and can ensure the breakage of the cap 51a, the remaining microbeads 60 optionally in the cylinder providing additional security.
  • the ignition relay charge of the main engine of the missile is not initiated.
