Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with a cartridge ammunition, especially in the middle caliber (for example, 40 mm) and as a training ammunition, as well as a simpler constructed so-called Berstêt.
  • a cartridge ammunition with a bursting device known as a connection between bullet and drive This bursting device comprises a membrane with at least one predetermined breaking point, which opens at a predetermined pressure in the high-pressure chamber of the drive.
  • insensitive ammunition i. an ammunition with an insensitive drive
  • demands of increasing security must be increasingly taken into account. For example, it should not explode or disassemble if, for example, it is exposed to fire or other higher temperatures.
  • the invention has the object to show a further possibility for the compliance with the safety criteria even at higher temperatures.
  • the invention is based on the idea to provide the cartridge with a kind of releasable closure, which opens before the actual ignition temperature of the primer, so that the resulting inside the cartridge internal pressure can escape early to the outside. This explosion pressure is relieved through a hole in which the closure is integrated, in the propellant charge floor.
  • the closure is preferably formed by a metal sealing plug, which also receives the primer cap.
  • An annular gap is provided between the sealing plug and the sleeve of the insensitive drive. This is sealed by a fuse or a ring of fusible material to the propellant charge. Alternatively, this fusible material may also be incorporated in the annular gap. Combinations of both variants are also possible. If the ammunition is subject to a predetermined temperature and the fuse comes into effect, moves the plug with the primer without resistance to the outside. This creates a large opening (through the release of the hole) in the sleeve bottom, which prevents the propellant charge powder is exploded and it can come to a maximum slow combustion.
  • the fuse or the ring of melting, solid and pressure-tight material preferably a Ostalloy- ring can be introduced by pressing and riveting in the sleeve bottom.
  • the Ostalloy fuse can in turn consist of a bismuth / zinc alloy. There are no longer any holes in the propellant charge case.
  • the ring in turn, can be stamped from rolled strip of material without the need for reworking.
  • Fig. 1 an ammunition 1 is shown, which has a projectile 2 and a propellant charge sleeve 3, which is fixed to the projectile 2 and its floor 10, for example via a screw 4.
  • Alternative compounds are crimp, Aufsteck- and locking connections, etc., such as from the DE 10 1004 017 464 B4 or the US 3,645,208 A known.
  • a high pressure chamber 5 forming insert (drive chamber) 6 is involved, at the same time a (pyrotechnic) propellant charge 7, here in the form of powder, receives.
  • the propellant charge powder 7 has für Bachmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassmandassunassunaspenta solid, which are guided by the insert and open from the high pressure chamber 5 in the low pressure chamber 8.
  • the propellant charge tube 3 is preferably made of aluminum and takes a Anzündhütchen 11 in a bore (opening) 12 on the sleeve bottom 13.
  • the primer cap 11 itself is integrated in a stopper 14 acting as a stopper, which is inserted into the bore (opening) 12. Plug 14 and primer 11 are sealed, for example, with a Ringfugenlack.
  • the bore 12 in turn should preferably be arranged centrally in the s
  • annular gap 17 is now provided between the plug 14 and the propellant charge sleeve 3, which extends through the sleeve bottom to the outside ( Fig.2 ).
  • the annular gap 17 can be uniform or, as in Fig. 3 shown, extending 17 'executed and allows, if necessary, a controlled release of the plug 14.
  • a fusible circlip 16 is further introduced into the propellant charge case 3. This can be riveted at an edge 18 on the plug 14.
  • the retaining ring 16 can be pressed against the sleeve 3 and compacted.
  • the melting temperature of the material is below the ignition temperature of the ignition and propellant charges. Subjecting the ammunition 1 in their transport, storage, etc. too high a temperature, the melting material of the retaining ring 16 begins to liquefy and passes through the annular gap 17 to the outside. The plug 14 is exposed by this measure and loses the mechanical support to the propellant charge shell 3. Thus, the plug 14, the bore 12 is free, so that a larger opening in the sleeve bottom 13 is formed.
  • the stopper 14 When firing the ammunition from a gun barrel (not shown in detail), the stopper 14, the primer cap 11 and the propellant charge shell 3 against a weapon lock (not shown) from, so that it is ensured that the plug 14 when shooting is not out of the bore 12th can be pushed out.
  • the circlip 16 takes on the firing of the ammunition 1 in normal use on this fuse or ring 16 acting gas pressure (from about 3000 bar) and seals the annular gap 17 from the propellant charge 7 down, so that the ring 16 in its dual function here acts as a sealing ring.
