Description

BESCHREIBUNG  DESCRIPTION
Leistungsvariabler Irritationskörper Variable-performance irritation body
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit der Möglichkeit der Leistungs- und damit verbunden der Volumenänderung der Effektladung eines Irritationskörpers, die dadurch realisiert werden kann, dass der Irritationskörper modulartig ausgeführt wird. Dabei umfasst das eine Modul bevorzugt alle zum Entsichern und Zünden der Effektladung notwendigen Bauteile und das andere Modul eine zentrale Kammer zur Aufnahme der Effektladung, insbesondere einer Knall bzw. Schall erzeugenden Wirkladung. Dieses zweite Modul kann dann unterschiedliche Kammern in Geometrie und / oder Volumen aufweisen, wodurch je nach Wahl der Kammergröße, d.h. des entsprechenden Moduls, eine Leistungsanpassungen und / oder -Optimierung eines Irritationskörpers möglich wird. Die Leistungsfähigkeit des Irritationskörpers ist nunmehr variierbar, die Leistungseffektivität selbst direkt einstellbar. The invention is concerned with the possibility of power and, associated therewith, the change in volume of the effect charge of an irritation body, which can be realized by virtue of the fact that the irritation body is embodied in a modular manner. In this case, one module preferably comprises all components necessary for unlocking and firing the effect charge, and the other module comprises a central chamber for receiving the effect charge, in particular a blast or sound-generating active charge. This second module may then have different chambers in geometry and / or volume, whereby, depending on the choice of chamber size, i. the corresponding module, a performance adjustments and / or optimization of an irritation body is possible. The performance of the irritation body is now variable, the power efficiency itself directly adjustable.
Irritationskörper dieser Art dienen vorrangig zur nicht letalen Abwehr bzw. Verteidigung und werden u. a. zur Unterstützung bei Polizei- oder Militäreinsätzen. Sie ähneln einer Handgranate, die in der Regel manuell gezündet und danach weggeschleudert werden, sollten jedoch selbst keine Fragmente bilden. Irritation body of this kind serve primarily for non-lethal defense or defense and u. a. for assistance in police or military operations. They resemble a hand grenade, which is usually ignited manually and then thrown away, but should not form fragments themselves.
Die DE 199 44 486 C2 beschreibt einen Irritationskörper zum manuellen Zünden und Fortschleudern mit mehreren im Wesentlichen parallel zur Mittelachse des Behälters verlaufenden Abteilen, die Effektladungen aufnehmen, die ihrerseits zeitversetzt gezündet werden. DE 199 44 486 C2 describes an irritation body for manual ignition and spin-drying with a plurality of compartments running substantially parallel to the central axis of the container, which receive effect charges, which in turn are ignited with a time delay.
Mit der DE 92 13 376 U1 wurde ein als Schockwaffe bezeichneter Irritationskörper offenbart, der mehrere Abteile aufweist, die Knall- oder Blitzladungen aufnehmen können. Der Irritationskörper weist selbst eine Zündeinrichtung mit einem gemeinsamen Zündkanal auf, von dem aus über dessen Länge verteilt Stichbohrungen zu dem jeweiligen Abteil führen. With the DE 92 13 376 U1 a designated as a shock weapon Irritationskörper was disclosed which has a number of compartments that can accommodate blast or lightning charges. The irritation body itself has an ignition device with a common ignition channel, from which distributed over the length of which lead tap holes to the respective compartment.
Aus der DE 10 2004 059 991 B1 ist ein Irritationskörper mit einem Kipphebel bekannt, der aus einem Körper gebildet wird, in dem der Verzögerungssatz und die Wirkladung(en) eingebunden sind. Der Verzögerungssatz bzw. die Verzögerungsstrecke befindet sich dabei in einem separaten Röhrchen, das mit einem Zündkopf mit Hebel in den Irritationsgrundkörper eingebracht wird. Die Querschnitte der Ausblasöffnungen am oberen Ende des Grundkörpers des Irritationskörpers sind dabei kleiner gehalten als die Querschnitte der Ausblasöffnung am unteren Ende, wodurch die Ausblasöffnungen der beiden Seiten rückstoßneutral ausgebildet sind. Die Wirkladung ist ihrerseits in Kammern, so genannten Blitzkammern, untergebracht. In der Regel handelt es sich dabei um 6 Kammern, die ca. 8-10 g eines Blitzbzw. Effektsatzes aufnehmen können. Diese Kammern sind symmetrisch um die Mittelachse des Irritationskörpers verteilt angeordnet und jede mit der Verzögerungszündstrecke verbunden. Die Befüllung der Kammern mit dem Effektsatz erfolgt in der Regel durch die Ausblasöffnungen von oben. Am oberen als auch am unteren Ende werden die Kammern durch Verschlusselemente abgedichtet. Diese als Pappscheiben ausgebildeten Verschlusselemente werden nach / mit Zündung der Effektladung bzw. des Effektsatzes in den einzelnen Kammern ausgestoßen und bilden ihrerseits Fragmente, was jedoch bei den vorgenannten Irritationskörpern unerwünscht ist. Die durch den Effektsatz erzeugten Effekte, beispielsweise Schall (Knall), verlassen durch die damit gewonnenen Ausblasöffnungen (oben und unten) den Irritationskörper From DE 10 2004 059 991 B1 an irritation body with a rocker arm is known, which is formed from a body in which the delay set and the active charge (s) are integrated. The delay set or the delay line is located in a separate tube, with an ignition head with lever in the Irritationsgrundkörper is introduced. The cross sections of the exhaust openings at the upper end of the main body of the irritation body are kept smaller than the cross sections of the exhaust opening at the lower end, whereby the exhaust openings of the two sides are formed recoil neutral. The Wirkladung is in turn housed in chambers, so-called flash chambers. As a rule, these are 6 chambers, the about 8-10 g of a Blitzbzw. Can record effect set. These chambers are arranged symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the Irritationskörpers and each connected to the delay ignition path. The filling of the chambers with the effect set usually takes place through the exhaust openings from above. At the top and at the bottom of the chambers are sealed by closure elements. These closure elements formed as cardboard discs are ejected after / with ignition of the effect charge or the effect set in the individual chambers and in turn form fragments, which is undesirable in the aforementioned irritation bodies. The effects generated by the effect set, for example sound (bang), leave the irritation body through the exhaust openings (top and bottom) thus obtained
Durch die Begrenztheit der Bauraumeinnahme der Behälter im Irritationskörper kann eine gewünschte Leistungserhöhung in der Praxis schwer umgesetzt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang mit einer derartigen Forderung schlägt die DE 10 2008 058 776 A1 vor, im freien Bereich am Boden des Irritationskörpers einen Zusatzkörper mit einer weiteren Effektladung einzubinden. Due to the limitations of the space taken up by the container in the irritation body, a desired increase in performance can be difficult to implement in practice. In connection with such a requirement, DE 10 2008 058 776 A1 proposes to integrate an additional body with a further effect charge in the free area at the bottom of the irritation body.
Wenngleich dieser Weg effektiv erscheint, stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, einen Irritationskörper zu schaffen, der dem Wunsch auf eine Leistungserhöhung bequemer nachkommt. Although this approach seems effective, the object of the invention is to provide an irritation body that more comfortably accommodates the desire for increased performance.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen widerspiegeln sich in den Unteransprüchen. The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are reflected in the dependent claims.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, einen Irritationskörper zu konzipieren, dessen Leistungsanpassung bzw. -erhöhung durch das Anbieten bzw. Einbinden verschiedener Kammern und damit verbunden verschiedener Volumen für die Aufnahme der Effektladung(en) realisiert wird. The invention is based on the idea of designing an irritation body whose power adaptation or increase is achieved by offering or integrating different chambers and, associated therewith, different volumes for receiving the effect charge (s).
Infolge dessen ist vorgesehen, den Irritationskörper bevorzugt modular auszuführen. Dazu besteht dieser aus wenigsten zwei, miteinander verbindbaren Modulen, die in Summe den variablen Irritationskörper bilden. Beide Module sind für sich gesehen mit jedem anderen Modul des Irritationskörpers verknüpfbar. Das eine Modul enthält dabei den Verzögerungs- satz mit Verzögerungsstrecke sowie die (Ausblas-)öffnung(en) und nimmt in bekannter Art und Weise den Zünderkopf mit Anzündhütchen und Zündergehäuse auf. Das andere Modul enthält eine gemeinsame Kammer für die Aufnahme der Wirk- bzw. Effektladung. Am unterein) Boden der Kammer befinden sich dann die unteren Ausblasöffnung(en). Dieses zweite Modul kann so ausgeführt werden, dass jedes verschieden große Kammern aufweist. Diese Modularität der beiden Körperteile zu einem variierbaren Irritationskörper macht es möglich, einen am oberen Körper des Irritationskörpers angepassten unteren Körper mit verschiedenen Kammervolumen und / oder Ausblasanordnungen anzubringen. As a result, it is provided that the irritation body is preferably modular. For this purpose, it consists of at least two modules which can be connected to one another and together form the variable body of irritation. Both modules can be linked per se with every other module of the irritation body. One module contains the delay Set with delay line and the (blow-out) opening (s) and takes in a known manner the igniter head with primer and igniter housing. The other module contains a common chamber for receiving the effect or effect charge. At the lower bottom of the chamber are the lower exhaust opening (s). This second module can be designed so that each has different sized chambers. This modularity of the two body parts into a variable irritation body makes it possible to attach a lower body adapted to the upper body of the irritation body with different chamber volumes and / or blow-out arrangements.
Die gemeinsame bzw. zentrale Kammer ist über wenigstens eine, bevorzugt jedoch mehreren obere Ausblasöffnungen mit dem Effektsatz befüllbar. The common or central chamber can be filled with the effect set via at least one, but preferably a plurality of upper blow-off openings.
Es versteht sich, dass die Einzelkammer auch in zumindest zwei Teilkammern durch eine oder mehrere senkrechte Wände unterteilt werden kann, wenn dieses erwünscht ist, wobei die Anzündung des Effektsatzes dann ebenfalls von oben erfolgen kann und so auch in den Teilkammern gewährleistet wird. It is understood that the single chamber can also be divided into at least two sub-chambers by one or more vertical walls, if this is desired, the ignition of the effect set can then also be done from above and is thus guaranteed in the sub-chambers.
Die Schnittstellen zwischen der Kammer und den Ausblasöffnung (oben und untern) werden durch je ein Verschlusselement verschlossen. Die feste Verbindung zwischen den beiden Körperteilen kann mittels Krimpen, Bördeln, Schweißen, etc. oder auch mittels leicht lösbaren Verbindungen wie Verschrauben, Rastungen, etc. geschaffen werden. The interfaces between the chamber and the exhaust opening (top and bottom) are closed by a respective closure element. The firm connection between the two body parts can be created by crimping, crimping, welding, etc. or by means of easily detachable connections such as screwing, notches, etc.
Neben diesem bereits genannten Vorteil sind auch fertigungstechnische Vorteile zu verzeichnen. So kann auf das Setzten der Niete innerhalb der Irritationskörper mit einem Grundkörper verzichtet werden. Es wird nur noch ein O-Ring (zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Teil) benötigt, der zudem als Axialdichtung eingebunden wird. Auch wird eine Hülse nicht mehr benötigt. Durch die größere(n) Befüllungsöffnung(en), die nicht mehr abhängig vom Durchmesser der einzelnen zu befüllenden Kammern ist / sind, wird ein vereinfachtes Befüllen erreicht. Durch die zentrale Kammer kann eine größere Menge der Effektladung aufgenommen werden. Die Kammer im unteren Modul kann je nach Modul unterschiedlich groß gewählt werden, sodass eine damit einhergehende Volumenvariabilität eine Leistungsvariabilität mit vorgebbarer Leistungssteigerung bewirkt bzw. auch direkt einstellbar ist. In addition to this advantage already mentioned also manufacturing advantages are recorded. So can be dispensed with the setting of the rivet within the body of irritation with a body. All that is needed is an O-ring (between the upper and the lower part), which is also integrated as an axial seal. Also, a sleeve is no longer needed. Due to the larger filling opening (s), which is / are no longer dependent on the diameter of the individual chambers to be filled, simplified filling is achieved. Through the central chamber, a larger amount of effect charge can be absorbed. Depending on the module, the chamber in the lower module can be chosen to be of different sizes, so that a volume variability associated therewith effects a performance variability with a predefinable increase in performance or can also be set directly.
Die Erhöhung des nutzbaren Volumens (um bis zu 100%) ist insbesondere beim Einsatz perchloratfreier Sätze von großem Vorteil. Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt: Increasing the usable volume (by up to 100%) is a great advantage, especially when using perchlorate-free phrases. Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine erste Variante eines zweiteiligen Irritationskörper, 1 shows a first variant of a two-part irritation body,
Fig. 2 eine weitere Variante eines zweiteiligen Irritationskörper. Fig. 2 shows another variant of a two-part irritation body.
Fig. 1 als auch Fig. 2 zeigen einen Irritationskörper 100, 100', der einen zweiteiligen modulartigen Grundkörper 101 , 102 aufweist. Beide Module 101 , 102 sind beispielsweise durch eine Rastverbindung 103 miteinander verbindbar. Andere lösbar als auch nicht lösbare feste Verbindungen sind ebenfalls nutzbar. Zwischen beiden Modulen 101 , 102 ist ein axial eingebrachter O-Ring 104 als Abdichtring vorgesehen. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show an irritation body 100, 100 ', which has a two-part modular base body 101, 102. Both modules 101, 102 can be connected to one another, for example, by a latching connection 103. Other solvable as well as non-releasable solid compounds are also usable. Between both modules 101, 102, an axially inserted O-ring 104 is provided as a sealing ring.
Das obere (ersten) Modul 101 dient zur Aufnahme eines Zündkopfes 1. Dieser Zündkopf 1 umfasst neben einem Kipphebel 3 ein Anzündhütchen 4 und ein Zündergehäuse 5 zur Aufnahme einer Anzündladung 6 mit Verzögerungssatz. Der Zündkopf 1 ist beispielsweise im Modulgehäuse des Moduls 101 eingeschraubt, wozu es eine Zündkopfaufnahme 7 besitzt. Um diese Aufnahme 7 herum ist wenigstens eine, bevorzugt mehrere - beispielsweise sechs - Ausblasöffnungen 8, 9 eingebunden. Diese öffnung(en) 8, 9 mündet/n in eine zentrale Kammer 10 des auswechselbaren zweiten Moduls 102, die zur Aufnahme einer Effektladung bzw. einer Effektsatzes 11 dient. Die Kammer 10 ist mittig und bevorzugt symmetrisch um die Mittelachse M des Irritationskörpers 100 im zweiten Modul 102 eingebunden. Die Anzündladung 6 und die Kammer 10 sind so aufeinander ausgerichtet bzw. abgestimmt, dass diese bevorzugt von oben und zentral auf die Effektladung 11 der Kammer 10 einwirken und diese entzünden kann. Im unteren Bereich der Kammer 10 ist wenigstens eine Öffnung 12 (Fig. 2) vorgesehen, die wie die oberen Öffnungen 8 (9) zum Ausblasen des gezündeten Effektsatz 11 dient. Der Irritationskörper 100' kann im unteren Bereich der Kammer 10 aber auch mehrere, vorzugsweise vier bis sechs, Öffnungen 18, 19, 20 aufweisen. The upper (first) module 101 serves to receive a firing head 1. This firing head 1 comprises, in addition to a rocker arm 3, a primer cap 4 and an igniter housing 5 for accommodating an ignition charge 6 with a deceleration set. The ignition head 1 is screwed, for example, in the module housing of the module 101, to which it has a Zündkopfaufnahme 7. At least one, preferably several, for example six, blow-out openings 8, 9 are integrated around this receptacle 7. This opening (s) 8, 9 opens into a central chamber 10 of the exchangeable second module 102, which serves to receive an effect charge or an effect set 11. The chamber 10 is centered and preferably symmetrically bound around the central axis M of the irritation body 100 in the second module 102. The ignition charge 6 and the chamber 10 are aligned and tuned to each other so that they preferably act from above and centrally on the effect charge 11 of the chamber 10 and can ignite this. In the lower region of the chamber 10, at least one opening 12 (FIG. 2) is provided which, like the upper openings 8 (9), serves to blow out the ignited effect set 11. The irritation body 100 'may have in the lower region of the chamber 10 but also a plurality, preferably four to six, openings 18, 19, 20.
Das untere (zweite) Modul 102 zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäß nunmehr dadurch aus, dass es bei gleicher Grundkonzeption verschiedene innere Kammergröße und -geometrien aufweisen kann, beispielsweise eine Kammer mit geringerem Volumen oder geringerer Menge. Durch den Modulcharakter der beiden Module 101 , 102 kann das untere Modul 102 problemlos an das obere Modul 101 angebunden und / oder ausgetauscht werden. Je nachdem, welche Leistung für den Irritationskörper gefordert wird, wird das Modul 102 mit der entsprechenden Kammergröße mit dem oberen Teil 101 verbunden, das dieser Anforderung am meisten entspricht. - So kann ein Irritationskörper 100, 100' geschaffen werden, der nunmehr eine Effektladung 11 im Bereich zwischen 2 - 15 g, beispielsweise 12 g eines Blitzsatzes, aufnehmen kann und der die Funktionssicherheit in diesem Spektrum gewährleistet. Werden die bekannten Außenmaße des Irritationskörpers 100, 100' zudem verändert, kann auch die Kammer 10 diesen neuen Maßen angepasst und damit die Leistung weiter erhöht werden. - According to the invention, the lower (second) module 102 is distinguished by the fact that, given the same basic design, it can have different internal chamber sizes and geometries, for example a chamber with a smaller volume or a smaller quantity. Due to the modular nature of the two modules 101, 102, the lower module 102 can be easily connected to the upper module 101 and / or replaced. Depending on which power is required for the irritation body, the module 102 is connected to the corresponding chamber size with the upper part 101, which meets this requirement on most corresponds. Thus, an irritating body 100, 100 'can be created, which can now receive an effect charge 11 in the range between 2 to 15 g, for example 12 g of a flash set, and which ensures the functional safety in this spectrum. If the known external dimensions of the irritation body 100, 100 'are also changed, the chamber 10 can also be adapted to these new dimensions and thus the performance further increased. -
Die Schnittstellen 13, 14 - zwischen der Kammer 10 und den oberen Öffnungen 8, (9), 12 bzw. der / den unteren Öffnungen 12, 18, 19, 20 zur Umgebung - sind durch Verschlusselemente 15, 16 verschließbar. Die Verschlusselemente 15, 16 können leichte Pappscheiben sein. The interfaces 13, 14 - between the chamber 10 and the upper openings 8, (9), 12 and / or the lower openings 12, 18, 19, 20 to the environment - are closed by closure elements 15, 16. The closure elements 15, 16 may be lightweight cardboard discs.
Bei der Einbindung nur einer (auch größeren) Öffnung 8, 12 sollte diese als exzentrische Bohrung ausgeführt werden, um so die Flugeigenschaften des Irritationskörpers beeinflussen zu können. When integrating only one (even larger) opening 8, 12 this should be performed as an eccentric bore, so as to influence the flight characteristics of the irritation body can.
Um zu erreichen, dass sich die Impulse beim Austreten der gezündeten Effektladung aus diesen Öffnungen gegenseitig aufheben, sollten die Querschnitte der oberen Öffnung(en) 8, (9) als auch der unteren Öffnungen 12, 18, 19 aufeinander abgestimmt werden. In order to cause the pulses to cancel each other out of these openings as the discharged effect charge exits, the cross sections of the upper opening (s) 8, (9) and lower openings 12, 18, 19 should be matched.
Um eine Fragmentbildung zu reduzieren ist zudem vorgesehen, dass die eine oder die mehreren unteren Bohrungen bzw. Öffnungen 12, 18, 19 im unteren Bereich der Kammer 10 außermittig und bevorzugt ungleichmäßig um die Mittelachse M verteilt angeordnet sind, wodurch eine Asymmetrie geschaffen wird, die zudem eine bevorzugte Verwirbelung der gezündeten Effektladung 11 schafft. In order to reduce fragment formation, provision is also made for the one or more lower bores or openings 12, 18, 19 to be distributed eccentrically and preferably non-uniformly around the central axis M in the lower region of the chamber 10, thereby creating an asymmetry In addition, creates a preferred turbulence of the ignited effect charge 11.
