Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a large-caliber explosive projectile with a projectile casing with ogivalem front part, which encloses a filled with a plastic-bonded explosive charge interior and has a tip side closable with a head detonator mouth hole.
  • the invention further relates to a produced by this method large-caliber explosive projectile.
  • Such a method is known, for example, from the document EP 1 338 860 B1.
  • an existing example of an elastic plastic shell (hereinafter referred to as a liner) is introduced through the mouth hole in the interior of the projectile casing and then poured the explosive charge in the liner.
  • the liner is required in this case to decouple the explosive charge to the inner wall of the projectile casing due to the different volumetric expansion coefficients of the explosive charge and the bullet casing material with temperature fluctuations.
  • a disadvantage of the known method is especially that the mouth hole designed for screwing a detonator has a small diameter, so that both the introduction and positioning of the liner in the interior of the projectile casing as well as the introduction of the usually highly viscous castable explosive charge in the liner extraordinarily time consuming.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which both the liner and the explosive charge in a simple manner, quickly and accurately in the projectile casing of the projectile can be introduced. Except- this is to be disclosed a large-caliber explosive projectile, which is produced by this method.
  • the invention is based essentially on the idea not to introduce the liner and the explosive charge through the designed for the head detonator mouth hole in the interior of the projectile casing, but by a much larger opening.
  • the projectile casing is produced as an at least two-part casing, such that in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the projectile casing there is a rear-side projectile casing section and a ring-shaped, front projectile casing section containing the mouth-hole, wherein the two projectile casing sections in the region of the ogival front part preferably together via a screw connection are connectable.
  • a liner adapted to the inner contour of the inner space and consisting of an elastic material is first introduced and positioned into the interior of the rear-side projectile casing section through its front opening. Then the plastic-bonded explosive charge is introduced into the liner, and after its curing, the liner is closed with a plastic, for example, existing lid. Subsequently, an elastic compensation element adapted to the internal geometry of the front-side projectile casing section is positioned on the cover and the two projectile casing sections are screwed together.
  • the liner Due to the large opening of the rear-side projectile casing section, the liner can be easily creased and without further processing steps into the interior of this machine. Insert shell section and position it accurately.
  • the also correspondingly large interpretable opening of the plastic cover allows a very good filling of the liner with the explosive charge, which can thus be filled voids and bubbles in the liner.
  • the liner is selected so that the explosive charge protrudes from the front side over the rear-side projectile casing section, and that after curing of the explosive charge by appropriate processing the front ends with a flat surface and after connecting the two bullet casing sections in the interior of the front Projectile casing section protrudes.
  • the liner is hermetically sealed by the lid and an applied seal.
  • the length of the front projectile casing section is approximately equal to 1/3 of the total length of the projectile casing.
  • the compensation element should preferably consist of an open-cell foam.
  • the screw connection of the two projectile casing sections should preferably be secured against loosening by means of an adhesive.
  • Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal section through an inventive explosive projectile
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the area designated by Il in FIG.
  • 1 designates a large-caliber, spin-stabilized explosive projectile, as can be fired, for example, from a tank howitzer.
  • the explosive projectile 1 comprises a projectile casing 2 with ogivalem front part 2 ' , a bottom part 3 and a front-side head detonator 4.
  • the head detonator 4 is screwed into a tip-side arranged in the projectile casing 2 mouth hole 5.
  • the projectile casing 2 surrounds an inner space 6, with the inner walls 7, an elastic plastic cover (liner) 8 is glued.
  • liner 8 In the liner 8 is a plastic-bound, insensitive explosive charge 9.
  • the explosive charge 9 is closed by an elastic compensating element 10, on whose side facing away from the explosive charge 9, the front region of the inner wall of the projectile casing 2 and the head igniter 4 exert a predeterminable pressure, so that the explosive charge 9 is under prestress.
  • the projectile casing 2 viewed in the direction of its longitudinal axis 11, consists of two projectile casing sections 20, 21, which are connected to one another in the region of the ogival front section 2 ' by means of a screw connection 22 and secured against loosening by means of gluing.
  • the liner 8 is then pushed and positioned by the relatively large opening 23 of the rear-side projectile casing section 20 into the interior 6 of this casing section.
  • the length of the liner 8 is selected such that the liner 8 extends on the front side in front of the front edge 24 of the rear-side projectile casing section 20.
  • the explosive charge 9 is then poured into the liner 8, such that the explosive charge 9 protrudes on the front side over the rear-side projectile casing section 20.
  • the liner 8 After curing of the explosive charge 9, this is processed for example by means of a machining process such that the explosive charge 9 ends on the front side with a flat surface 25.
  • the liner 8 is then provided with a cover 26 made of plastic and hermetically sealed by means of a bond.
  • the exactly adapted to the internal geometry of the front floor shell portion 21 compensating element 10 is positioned from an open-cell foam.
  • This compensating element 10 has a large footprint to the lid 26 of the liner 8.
  • an explosive head detonator 4 is screwed into the mouth hole 5 and glued.
  • the head detonator 4 can be designed such that it can be used for further compression of the compensating element 10.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un projectile explosif (1) de gros calibre pourvu d'une enveloppe (2) de projectile munie d'une partie avant en ogive (2'), qui entoure un espace intérieur (6) rempli d'une charge explosive (9) liée à une matière plastique et présente un trou d'embouchure (5) pouvant être fermé côté pointe par une fusée de tête (4), une enveloppe élastique (Liner) (8) étant disposée entre la charge explosive (9) et la paroi intérieure (7) de l'enveloppe (2) de projectile. Pour faire en sorte que tant le liner (8) que la charge explosive (9) puissent être introduits de manière simple, rapide et précise dans l'enveloppe (2) du projectile explosif (1), l'invention propose de fabriquer l'enveloppe (2) en deux parties de telle manière qu'il en résulte une partie d'enveloppe (20) côté arrière en direction de l'axe longitudinal (11) de l'enveloppe (2) et une partie d'enveloppe avant (21), de forme annulaire, contenant le trou d'embouchure (5), les deux parties d'enveloppe (20, 21) pouvant être reliées l'une à l'autre dans la zone de la partie avant en ogive (2') de préférence par l'intermédiaire d'un raccord fileté (22). L'introduction du liner (8) dans la partie d'enveloppe (20) côté arrière et de la charge explosive (9) dans le liner (8) a lieu selon l'invention avant liaison des deux parties d'enveloppe (20, 21).
