  • An effective mass block or a body of active substance for example, describes the DE 10 2004 047 231 A1 , which has a Anströmschutz. This is formed from a protective cap and a protective film.
  • the active body itself has a block of active substance, the specific structures on / on the surface and / or in the interior with finely structured materials which are initiated by ignition charges.
  • a method and apparatus for deception of IR, RF and dual mode guided missile with these submunitions is the WO 2007/012371 A1 removable, dual mode decoys the DE 199 51 767 C2 .
  • An ignition device of a detonating chain for submunitions discloses the DE 690 15 046 T2 ,
  • the GB 2 300 035 A describes an infrared cartridge consisting of an assembly of parts which together form a solid, rigid, dense body and has a lid.
  • the wall forming the lid is dense, but has large longitudinal holes.
  • the number and arrangement of the holes, the purpose of which is firstly to facilitate the connection of the main charge with the ambient atmosphere and on the other to weaken the tubular wall in order to eliminate them easily by combustion can be freely chosen.
  • the DE 38 28 501 C relates to an ammunition body stack which is held together by flat bands which are clamped together with integrally formed hooks by a tensioning means.
  • the tensioning means has a separating device for the caps of the clamping means, here wire, is responsible.
  • the invention has the object to show a variant that prevents premature tearing.
  • the invention is based on the idea of integrating a flow protection cap as flow protection, which closes off the active mass container on the discharge side in a form-fitting manner with the active mass.
  • a flow protection cap as flow protection, which closes off the active mass container on the discharge side in a form-fitting manner with the active mass.
  • four edge profiles of the active mass container are pressed to the corners of the active mass and the prepared with sealing and / or adhesive Anströmschutzkappe ejection side put on the packed in protective effective mass block with the four adjacent edge protection profiles.
  • the positioning tips in the flow protection cap cause the active mass block to be centered in this and in effect optimal position is maintained.
  • the Anströmstoffkappe in turn closes with the active mass container ejection side form-fitting.
  • the error source reduction during assembly is another advantage.
  • Anströmschutz damage to the protective film during insertion of the active mass block is avoided in the sleeve.

Description

  • Wirkmassenbehälter, beispielsweise für Nebelfunktionen, sind aus der Praxis reichlich bekannt. Einen Wirkmassenblock bzw. einen Wirkmittelkörper beschreibt zum Beispiel die DE 10 2004 047 231 A1 , der einen Anströmschutz aufweist. Dieser wird aus einer Schutzkappe und einer Schutzfolie gebildet. Der Wirkkörper selbst weist einen Wirkmassenblock auf, der spezifische Strukturen an / auf der Oberfläche und / oder im Inneren mit feinstrukturierten Materialien, die durch Anzündsätze initiiert werden.
  • Submunitionen, die sich aus derartigen Wirkmassenbehältern zusammensetzten, sind unter anderem aus der DE 601 19 735 T2 bekannt.
  • Ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Täuschung IR-, RF- als auch Dual Mode gelenkter Flugkörper mit diesen Submunitionen ist der WO 2007/012371 A1 entnehmbar, Dual Mode Täuschkörper der DE 199 51 767 C2 . Eine Zündvorrichtung einer Zündkette für Submunitionskörper offenbart die DE 690 15 046 T2 .
  • Die GB 2 300 035 A beschreibt eine Infrarotpatrone, die aus einer Anordnung von Teilen besteht, die zusammen einen festen, starren, dichten Körper bilden und weist einen Deckel auf. Die den Deckel bildende Wand ist dicht, hat jedoch große Längslöcher. Die Anzahl und die Anordnung der Löcher, deren Ziel es zum einen ist, die Verbindung der Hauptladung mit der Umgebungsatmosphäre zu erleichtern und zum anderen die tubusförmige Wand zu schwächen, um sie durch Verbrennung leichter beseitigen zu können, können frei gewählt werden.
  • Die DE 38 28 501 C betrifft einen Munitionskörperstapel, der durch Flachbänder zusammengehalten wird, die mit angeformten Haken von einem Spannmittel zusammengespannt werden. Das Spannmittel weist eine Trenneinrichtung für das Kappen des Spannmittels, hier Draht, verantwortlich ist.
  • Oftmals wird beim Ausstoßen unter Flugbedingungen (Anströmung) durch die auftretenden Kräfte die Schutzfolie des Wirkmassenblocks vorzeitig aufgerissen.
  • Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Variante aufzuzeigen, die ein vorzeitiges Aufreißen verhindert.
  • Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.
  • Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, eine Anströmschutzkappe als Anströmschutz einzubinden, die den Wirkmassenbehälter ausstoßseitig formschlüssig mit der Wirkmasse abschließt. Dazu werden beispielsweise vier Kantenprofile des Wirkmassenbehälters an die Ecken der Wirkmasse gedrückt und die mit Dicht- und / oder Klebemasse vorbereitete Anströmschutzkappe ausstoßseitig auf den in Schutzfolie verpackten Wirkmassenblock mit den vier anliegenden Kantenschutzprofilen gesteckt. Die Positionierspitzen in der Anströmschutzkappe bewirken, dass der Wirkmassenblock in dieser zentriert und in der für die Wirkung optimalen Position gehalten wird. Die Anströmschutzkappe schließt ihrerseits mit dem Wirkmassenbehälter ausstoßseitig formschlüssig ab.
  • Neben der Vereinfachung (bessere Handhabbarkeit des Wirkmassenblockes) ist die Fehlerquellenreduzierung bei der Montage ein weiterer Vorteil. Durch den Anströmschutz wird eine Beschädigung der Schutzfolie beim Einschieben des Wirkmassenblocks in die Hülse vermieden.
  • Da die bekanntlich auftretenden Vibrationen nicht mehr direkt auf die in Schutzfolie verpackten Wirkmassenblöcke einwirken können, ist auch das Einreißen der Schutzfolie auch unter Prüfbedingungen (taktische / logistische Vibration) ausgeschlossen.
  • Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden.
  • Es zeigen
    • Fig. 1 und Fig. 2
    einen Wirkmassenbehälter in perspektivischer Darstellung.
  • Fig. 1 zeigt einen Wirkmassenbehälter 1 mit einer Anströmschutzkappe 2 in einer perspektivischen Darstellung von hinten (Ansicht anzündseitig), Fig. 2 den gleichen Wirkmassenbehälter 1 mit der Anströmschutzkappe 2 in einer Vorderansicht (Ansicht ausstoßseitig). In dem Wirkmassenbehälter 1 und der Anströmschutzkappe 2 integriert die Schutz-, Stütz-, Führungs- bzw. Positionierungsfunktion.
  • Die Kappe 2, vorzugsweise mit Dicht- und / oder Klebemasse versehen, wird auf zwei oder mehrere Kantenprofile 3, 4, 5, 6 des Wirkmassenbehälters 1 ausstoßseitig auf dem in Schutzfolie 8 verpackten Wirkmassenblock 7 gesteckt.
  • Die Kappe und der Wirkmassenbehälter 1 weisen des Weiteren vorzugsweise als Spitzen ausgeführte Positionierspitzen 9, 9.1 auf. Diese bewirken, dass der Wirkmassenblock 7 in der Kappe 2 und dem Wirkmassenbehälter 1 zentriert und in einer funktionstechnisch optimalen Position gehalten wird.
