Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handgranate mit einer einbindbarer Hohlladung bzw. Hohlladungseinlage.The invention relates to a hand grenade with a einbindbarer hollow charge or hollow charge insert.

Handgranaten werden, wie der Name es sagt, von einem Schützen insbesondere zur Eigenverteidigung geworfen, wobei vorab ein Sicherungsbügel gelöst wird und eine Zündmechanik die Zündung auslöst.Hand grenades are thrown, as the name implies, by a shooter in particular for self-defense, whereby in advance a securing bracket is released and an ignition mechanism triggers the ignition.

Eine Handgranate wird beispielsweise In der DE 10 2005 035 580 B3 beschrieben. Diese besitzt einen eine Wirkladung enthaltenden Wirkkörper und eine Zündeinrichtung zur Zündung der Wirkladung. Die Handgranate selbst zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein CodeGenerator in der Zündeinrichtung eingebunden ist, weicher mit Hilfe eines Zufallsgenerators unmittelbar vor oder erst beim Lösen des Bedientells einen Zündcode erzeugt, der sowohl in einem Codespeicher des beim Bedieners verbleibenden Zündauslösers als auch in einem Codespeicher des Zünders abgelegt wird. Die US 6,781,117 B1 weist ebenfalls eine Zündeinrichtung auf, die ein elektronisches Zündsystem in einer Handgranate verwendet.For example, a hand grenade will be in the DE 10 2005 035 580 B3 described. This has an active body containing an active charge and an ignition device for igniting the active charge. The hand grenade itself is characterized by the fact that a CodeGenerator is integrated in the ignition device, using a random generator immediately before or only when releasing the control panel generates an ignition code, both in a code memory of the operator remaining ignition trigger and in a code memory of the Igniter is stored. The US Pat. No. 6,781,117 B1 also has an ignition device that uses an electronic ignition system in a hand grenade.

Handgranatenähnliche Gebilde, wie Irrttationakörper, werden u. a. bei Geiselnahmen oder Flugzeugentführungen zur Unterstützung bei Polizei- oder Militäreinsätzen eingesetzt. Sie werden ebenfalls in der Regel manuell gezündet und danach weggeschleudert.Grenade-like structures, such as Irrttationakörper, u. a. used in hostages or hijackings to assist with police or military operations. They are also usually ignited manually and then thrown away.

Ein Irritationskörper mit Impuletriebwerken ist aus der DE 102 59 913 B4 bekannt. Durch die Impulatriebwerke wird der Irritationskörper in Rollbewegungen versetzt.An irritating body with impulse engines is from the DE 102 59 913 B4 known. The impulse engines set the irritation body in rolling motion.

Andere Irritationskörper sind der DE 189 44 488 C2 oder der DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 entnehmbar. Die DE 199 44 468 C2 beschäftigt sich dabei mit dem konkreten Aufbau der im Behälter eingebundenen Abteile, während die DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 sich auf die Querschnitte von Ausblasöffnungen der Abteilungen bezieht.Other irritation bodies are the DE 189 44 488 C2 or the DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 removable. The DE 199 44 468 C2 deals with the concrete structure of the compartments embedded in the container, while the DE 10 2004 059 991 B4 refers to the cross-sections of blow-out openings of the departments.

Die GB 1 381 702 A betrifft eine Hohlladungismine, insbesondere Panzermine, für einen multiplen Einsatz mit Positionierungselementen und mindestens zwei Sensorsystemen. Die Hohlladungsmine wird dabei an das zu bekämpfende Objekt herangetragen und kommt aufgrund eines geeigneten primären Sensorsystems bei guter Trefferlage zur Wirkung. Im Falle der Zielverfehlung wird die Mine dann automatisch durch die Positionierungselemente in die gewünschte Stellung gebracht und gleichzeltig das sekundäre Sensorsystem funktionsfähig gemacht.The GB 1 381 702 A relates to a Hohlladungismine, in particular Panzermine, for a multiple use with positioning elements and at least two sensor systems. The shaped charge mine is thereby brought to the object to be fought and comes due to a suitable primary sensor system in good hit to effect. In the case of Zielverfehlung the mine is then automatically brought by the positioning elements in the desired position and gleichzeltig made the secondary sensor system functional.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Handgranate oder dergleichen baulichen Art aufzuzeigen, die ein größeres Einsatzspaktrum aufweist, als derzeit bekannte.The invention has as its object to show a hand grenade or the like structural type, which has a larger Einsatzspaktrum, than currently known.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are the dependent claims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, aufbauend auf einen modularen Aufbau der Handgranate, ein Modul bereitzustellen, das an der Handgranate anbindbar, mit einer Hohlladung ausgerüstet werden kann, um so als Panzerungen durchbrechendes Tell zu wirken. Das, die Hohlladung umfassende Modul kann am unteren Ende der Handgranate befestigt (aufstecken, verschrauben, verklippsen etc.) und am gepanzerten Element angebracht werden. In der einfachsten Form wird die Handgranate hingestellt, bei Seitenwänden möglicherweise angehängt. Wichtig ist, dass die Handgranate so angebracht wird, dass die Hohlladung eine ausreichende Wirkung auf das Zielmedium ausüben kann.The invention is based on the idea, based on a modular design of the hand grenade to provide a module that can be attached to the hand grenade, equipped with a shaped charge so as to act as armor piercing Tell. The module comprising the shaped charge can be attached to the lower end of the hand grenade (plugged, screwed, clipped, etc.) and attached to the armored element. In the simplest form, the hand grenade is placed, possibly attached to sidewalls. It is important that the hand grenade is mounted so that the shaped charge can exert a sufficient effect on the target medium.

Nicht ausgeschlossen und doch eher verwendungsabhängig kann die Hohlladung als eine Flach- bzw. Spitzkegelhohlladung ausgebildet sein. Diese wirken rein punktuell und könnten dann eingebunden werden, wenn eine hohe Eindringtiefe im Ziel erwünscht wird. Oftmals ist dieser Effekt aber verbunden mit einer geringeren Materielaustragung, bezogen auf den Durchmesser.Not excluded, but rather depending on the use of the shaped charge may be formed as a flat or pointed cone hollow charge. These act purely punctually and could then be integrated if a high penetration depth in the target is desired. Often, however, this effect is associated with a lower matter discharge, based on the diameter.

In der bevorzugten Ausführung ist die Hohlladung daher in Ringform mit V- oder U- Querschnitt ausgeführt (Ringschneidladung). Diese wird initiiert durch ein dahinter liegendes Kreissegment an Sprengstoff, welches wiederum durch die Primärladung der Handgranate Initiiert wird. Durch die Initiierung an der Sprengstoffoberseite, nahe der Mitte des Kreissegments, kann eine optimale Verformung der Einlagenaußen- bzw. Innenseite gewährleistet werden. Aufgrund der ringförmigen Hohlladungegeometrie nimmt die zerstörte Fläche im Durchmesser zu, was in besonderen Anwendungen erwünscht sein kann. Konstruktionsbedingte verringerte Eindringtiefen geganüber einer Spitz- oder Flachkegelhohlladung werden hierbei kompensiert.In the preferred embodiment, the hollow charge is therefore designed in ring form with V or U-section (ring cutting charge). This is initiated by an underlying circle segment of explosive, which in turn is initiated by the primary charge of the hand grenade. By initiating at the explosive top, near the center of the circle segment, optimal deformation of the liner exterior or interior can be ensured. Due to the ring-shaped hollow geometry, the destroyed area increases in diameter, which may be desirable in particular applications. Design-related reduced penetration depths compared to a flat or flat cone hollow charge are compensated in this case.

Diese einfache Adaption der Hohlladung in eine Handgranate lässt diese Handgranate nicht wie bisher rein räumlich sondern auch punktueller gegen gepanzerte Ziele wirken.This simple adaptation of the shaped charge in a hand grenade makes this hand grenade not act as previously purely spatial but also more selective against armored targets.

Verschiedene Hohlledungseinsätze bei Projektilen sind bereits bekannt. So beschreibt die DE 38 39 084 C1 ein Hohlladungsprojektil mit geringem Raumbedarf, die WO 99/57503 einen Munitionskörper mit einer Hohlladung. Die EP 1 128 155 81 offenbart einen eine Mauer zerbrechenden Gefechtskopf. Auch die DD 301 023 A7 beschäftigt sich mit einem panzerbrechenden Hohlladungssprengkörper mit Verstärkungsladung. Einlagen aus gesintertem Wolfram für Hohlladungen sind der DE 601 19 505 T2 ( EP 1 317 650 B1 ) entnehmbar. Auch die WO 01/63198 A1 zeigt einen Gefechtskopf, hier mit einer ringförmigen Hohlladung.Different Hollow inserts in projectiles are already known. That's how it describes DE 38 39 084 C1 a shaped charge projectile with a small footprint, the WO 99/57503 an ammunition body with a shaped charge. The EP 1 128 155 81 reveals a wall shattering warhead. Also the DD 301 023 A7 deals with an armor-piercing hollow charge explosive device with boost charge. Deposits of sintered tungsten for shaped charges are the DE 601 19 505 T2 ( EP 1 317 650 B1 ) removable. Also the WO 01/63198 A1 shows a warhead, here with an annular shaped charge.

Anhand eines einfach dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.Reference to a simple illustrated embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail.

In Fig. 1 Ist mit 10 eine Handgranate bzw. ein handgranatenithnliches Gebilde gekennzeichnet, das vorzugsweise einen modularen Aufbau besitzt. Der modulare Körper 1 beinhaltet einen Sprengstoff 2 und eine (hier) Ringholladungseinlage 3. Mit 4 ist ein Ansatz im Sprengstoff gekennzeichnet. Eine dieses Modul 1 abdeckende Abdeckplatte 5 dient als Abschlusskappe und kann zur Anbringung ans Zielmedium dienen. Leicht angedeutet ist ein Sicherungsbügel 6 als Tell einer Zündeinrichtung der Handgranate 10 erkennbar.In Fig. 1 Is at 10 a hand grenade or a hand grenade-like structure characterized, which preferably has a modular structure. The modular body 1 includes an explosive 2 and a (here) ring-loading insert 3. 4 is an approach in the explosive marked. A cover plate 5 which covers this module 1 serves as an end cap and can be used for attachment to the target medium. Slightly indicated is a circlip 6 as Tell an ignition of the hand grenade 10 recognizable.

Die Schockwellenübertragung der (nicht näher dargestellten) Primärladung der Handgranate auf das Sprengstoffkreissegmant 3 (auf die Hohlladungseinlage) wird durch den Ansatz 4 im Sprengstoff 2 bewerkstelligt. Dadurch initiiert formt der Sprengstoff 2 die Einlage 3 um und bildet dadurch den Liner aus.The shockwave transmission of the (not shown) primary charge of the hand grenade on the Explosengkreiskreissegmant 3 (on the hollow charge insert) is accomplished by the approach 4 in the explosive 2. As a result, the explosive 2 initiates the insert 3 and thereby forms the liner.

Beispiele für Querschnitte einer Ringhohlladung sind in Fig. 2 aufgezeigt.Examples of cross sections of a ring hollow charge are in Fig. 2 demonstrated.

Als Hohlladungsmaterial findet Kupfer genauso Anwendung wie Kristallglas etc.As a shaped charge material, copper is used as well as crystal glass, etc.

Die Handgranate 10 wird auf ein Ziel medium beispielsweise gesetzt und direkt oder mittels Signalübertragung gezündet.The hand grenade 10 is placed on a target medium, for example, and ignited directly or by means of signal transmission.
