Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zündvorrichtung, insbesondere eine Zündvorrichtung für Anzündschnüre von pyrotechnischen Gegenständen, Sprengkapseln, Simulatoren etc. Eine Zündvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus FR 1.155.542 A bekannt. Zur Verbindung mit derartigen Zündvorrichtungen werden Anzündschnüre mit einer endseitigen Dicht- und Zentrierhülse in die Zündvorrichtung, genauer gesagt in eine endseitige Schraubhülse eingesetzt und dort durch Verdrehen der Schraubhülse fixiert. Zur Auslösung der Zündung greift der Bediener mit seiner ersten Hand den eigentlichen Zünderkörper und betätigt dann mit seiner anderen Hand den Zünderkopf. Letzterer wird dabei zunächst durch Lösen einer Schraubverbindung von dem Zünderkörper abgedreht und dann in senkrechter Richtung von diesem abgezogen, wodurch schließlich die Schlagbewegung des Schlagbolzens ausgelöst wird. Nachteilig ist an diesen bisher bekannten technischen Lösungen, dass der Bediener eben wegen des Auseinanderziehens von Zündkörper und -kopf zwangsweise beide Hände einsetzen muss, sodass die Handhabung derartiger Zündvorrichtungen umständlich und mit Gefahren für den Bediener verbunden ist.The invention relates to an ignition device, in particular an ignition device for ignition cords of pyrotechnic articles, detonators, simulators, etc. An ignition device of the type mentioned is out FR 1,155,542 A known. For connection with such igniters ignition fuses are used with an end-side sealing and centering in the ignition, more precisely in an end-side screw and fixed there by turning the screw. To trigger the ignition, the operator grasps the actual fuse body with his first hand and then actuates the ignition head with his other hand. The latter is first turned off by loosening a screw from the fuse body and then withdrawn in the vertical direction of this, whereby finally the impact movement of the firing pin is triggered. A disadvantage of these previously known technical solutions that the operator just because of the pulling apart of the ignition body and head forcibly use both hands, so that the handling of such igniters is cumbersome and dangerous for the operator.

Damit stellt sich der Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Zündvorrichtung für Anzündschnüre von pyrotechnischen Gegenständen, Sprengkapseln, Simulatoren etc. mit vereinfachter und sicherer Handhabung zu schaffen.Thus, the invention has the object to provide an ignition device for ignition cords of pyrotechnic articles, detonators, simulators, etc. with simplified and safe handling.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Zündvorrichtung nach dem Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Zündvorrichtung umfasst also zumindest zwei Baugruppen, deren erste den eigentlichen Zündmechanismus u. a. mit Zündhütchen und Schlagbolzen umfasst. Ausgelöst wird dieser Zündmechanismus durch Betätigung der zweiten Baugruppe, genauer gesagt wird diese aus der gemeinsamen Längsachse beider, zunächst in einer gemeinsamen Flucht liegenden Baugruppen ein stückweit ausgelenkt, was den beide Baugruppen verbindenden Draht unter Zugkraft setzt und schließlich den verschieblich und federnd gelagerten Schlagbolzen gegen das Zündhütchen schnellen lässt. In vorteilhafter Weise kann diese Betätigung einhändig erfolgen. D. h. der Bediener umgreift die erste Baugruppe mit der Innenfläche einer Hand bzw. mit Zeige-, Mittel-, Ring- und/oder kleinem Finger. Mit dem Daumen schiebt der Bediener dann die zweite Baugruppe aus der gemeinsamen Längsachse heraus und in die ausgeschwenkte Position hinein. Damit ist eine kompakte Zündvorrichtung realisiert, deren Handhabung einfach, direkt, sicher und für den Bediener jederzeit überschaubar und nachvollziehbar ist.This object is achieved by an ignition device according to claim 1. The ignition device according to the invention thus comprises at least two modules, the first of which includes the actual ignition mechanism, inter alia, with primer and firing pin. This firing mechanism is triggered by actuation of the second module, more precisely, this is deflected from the common longitudinal axis of both, initially in a joint alignment modules a piece-wide, which puts the two assemblies connecting wire under tension and finally the slidably and resiliently mounted firing pin against the Primer lets fast. Advantageously, this operation can be done with one hand. Ie. The operator grasps the first assembly with the inner surface of one hand or with index, middle, ring and / or small finger. With the thumb, the operator then pushes the second assembly out of the common longitudinal axis and into the pivoted position. For a compact ignition device is realized, the handling of which is simple, direct, safe and manageable and traceable at all times for the operator.

Das zweiteilige Gehäuse bietet die Möglichkeit der Ein-Hand-Bedienung mit dem Auslenken der zweiten Baugruppe gegenüber der gemeinsamen Längsachse von erster und zweiter Baugruppe. Die zweite Baugruppe wird also gewissermaßen aus der gemeinsamen Flucht herausgedrückt. Ergänzend hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die erste Baugruppe an ihrer der zweiten Baugruppe zugewandten Stirnseite eine das Abstoßen der zweiten Baugruppe von der ersten Baugruppe ermöglichende Fläche aufweist. Dies ermöglicht eine Art Knickbewegung der zweiten Baugruppe durch Aufbringen einer vorzugsweise durch den Daumen aufgebrachten Kraft in Querrichtung zur gemeinsamen Längsachse, mit der das Aufbringen einer Zugkraft auf den beide Baugruppen verbindenden Draht einhergeht. Nach Freigabe des Schlagbolzens löst ein Schlag auf das Zündhütchen dann den eigentlichen Zündmechanismus aus. Indem die erste Baugruppe an ihrer der zweiten Baugruppe zugewandten Stirnseite eine glatte und ausreichend große Fläche aufweist, welche das Abstoßen der zweiten Baugruppe ermöglicht, ist die Handhabung bei der angesprochenen Knickbewegung präzise, leicht und sicher durchführbar.The two-part housing offers the possibility of one-handed operation with the deflection of the second assembly relative to the common longitudinal axis of the first and second assembly. The second module is thus pushed out to some extent from the common escape. In addition to this, it is provided that the first assembly has, on its front side facing the second assembly, a surface which enables ejection of the second assembly from the first assembly. This allows a kind of bending movement of the second assembly by applying a preferably applied by the thumb force in the transverse direction to the common longitudinal axis, with which the application of a tensile force on the wire connecting the two assemblies is accompanied. After release of the firing pin, a blow on the primer then triggers the actual firing mechanism. By the first assembly on its side facing the second module facing a smooth and sufficiently large surface, which allows the repulsion of the second assembly, the handling of the mentioned buckling movement is precise, easy and safe to carry out.

Die erste Baugruppe besteht aus zwei zentralen Bauteilen. Neben einem Gehäuse ist vorgesehen, dass die erste Baugruppe ein Verbindungbauteil umfasst, das zur Verbindung der ersten Baugruppe mit der Anzündschnur dient. Dabei sind das Gehäuse und das Verbindungsbauteil z. B. über eine Schraubverbindung miteinander fixiert.The first assembly consists of two central components. In addition to a housing, it is provided that the first assembly comprises a connection component which serves to connect the first assembly to the ignition cord. In this case, the housing and the connection component z. B. fixed together via a screw.

Auch die zweite Baugruppe besteht ihrerseits aus zwei Teilen, indem die zweite Baugruppe eine Hülse und einen korrespondierend zu der Hülse ausgebildeten, stopfenartigen Einsatz aufweist. Der Hohlraum in der Hülse dient zur Aufnahme bzw. zur Fixierung des Drahtes. Der Einsatz schließt an seiner Außenseite möglichst mit der Hülse bündig ab, während er, einem Stopfen vergleichbar, in die Hülse eingesetzt wird und diese verschließt.The second module in turn consists of two parts, by the second module has a sleeve and a corresponding to the sleeve formed, plug-like insert. The cavity in the sleeve serves to receive or fix the wire. The insert closes on its outer side as possible with the sleeve flush, while it, comparable to a plug, is inserted into the sleeve and closes it.

Wie bei der zweiteiligen ersten Baugruppe auch, bilden Einsatz und Hülse als zentrale Bauteile der zweiten Baugruppe eine Baueinheit, d. h. der Einsatz ist in der Hülse fixierbar ausgebildet.As with the two-part first assembly also insert and sleeve form as a central components of the second module a structural unit, d. H. the insert is designed to be fixable in the sleeve.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Einsatz in der Hülse über eine Schraubverbindung fixierbar ist. Hierzu befindet sich im Bereich des Stopfens ein Außengewinde, das mit einem in der Hülse vorgesehenen Innengewinde korrespondiert.It is preferably provided that the insert in the sleeve can be fixed via a screw connection. For this purpose, there is an external thread in the region of the plug, which corresponds to an internal thread provided in the sleeve.

Es gilt, die Zugkraft, die zur Betätigung des Schlagbolzens führen soll, durch Herausschwenken der zweiten Baugruppe aus der gemeinsamen Längsachse beider Baugruppen aufbringen zu können. Hierzu ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Einsatz eine Bohrung zur Durchführung des Drahtes aufweist.It is important to be able to apply the tensile force that should lead to the actuation of the firing pin by swinging out the second assembly from the common longitudinal axis of both modules. For this purpose, it is expedient if the insert has a bore for the passage of the wire.

Es wurde bereits angesprochen, dass der Draht in dem Hohlraum der Hülse befestigt sein soll, konkret heißt das, dass das Ende des Drahtes an der Innenseite des Einsatzes fixiert ist, so dass die entsprechende Spannung auf den Draht ausgeübt werden kann. Alternativ kann der Draht an der Außenseite der Hülse fixiert werden.It has already been mentioned that the wire should be fastened in the cavity of the sleeve, in concrete terms this means that the end of the wire is fixed to the inside of the insert, so that the corresponding tension can be exerted on the wire. Alternatively, the wire may be fixed to the outside of the sleeve.

Um eine zuverlässige Befestigung zu gewährleisten, ist daran gedacht, dass zur Fixierung des Drahtes an der Innenseite des Einsatzes eine Quetschhülse dient, die zusätzlich durch eine Unterlegscheibe gesichert ist. Somit ist eine spielfreie Lagerung des Drahtes in bzw. an der zweiten, aus Hülse und ihrem korrespondierenden Einsatz gebildeten Baugruppe realisiert.To ensure a reliable attachment, it is envisaged that for fixing the wire on the inside of the insert serves a ferrule, which is additionally secured by a washer. Thus, a play-free mounting of the wire in or on the second, formed from sleeve and its corresponding insert assembly is realized.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Hülse als Handhabe zur Betätigung des Schwenkvorgangs ausgebildet ist. Nach Entfernen einer Schutzkappe kann der Bediener die ergonomisch ausgeformte Hülse ergreifen bzw. zum Beispiel durch mit dem Daumen aufgebrachte Druckkraft so aus ihrer Position drücken, dass es zu dem angesprochenen Auslösemechanismus kommt. In diesem Sinne ist auch der Vorschlag zu verstehen, wonach die Hülse an ihrer Außenseite eine Einschnürung aufweist, um entsprechend besser handhabbar zu sein.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the sleeve is designed as a handle for actuating the pivoting operation. After removing a protective cap, the operator can grasp the ergonomically shaped sleeve or press it, for example by pressing force applied with the thumb, out of its position in such a way that the triggering mechanism mentioned is triggered. In this sense, the proposal is to be understood, according to which the sleeve has on its outside a constriction to be correspondingly easier to handle.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zündvorrichtung bringt den weiteren entscheidenden Vorteil mit sich, dass sie aufgrund der beschriebenen Technik besonders klein und kompakt bauen kann. Es ist denkbar, dass das Gehäuse eine Länge von etwa 10 cm - 12 cm aufweist, was über die beschriebene präzise Art der Zündtechnik und leichte Handhabbarkeit hinaus auch zu einer massiven Platzersparnis führen kann.The ignition device according to the invention has the further decisive advantage that it can build very small and compact due to the described technique. It is conceivable that the housing has a length of about 10 cm - 12 cm, which can also lead to a massive space savings on the described precise type of ignition technology and ease of handling.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass eine mit nur einer Hand bedienbare Zündvorrichtung für Anzündschnüre von pyrotechnischen Gegenständen, Sprengkapseln, Simulatoren etc. geschaffen ist. Anstatt den Zündmechanismus mit zwei Händen durch Auseinanderziehen eines Zündkopfs und eines Zündkörpers auszulösen, weist die erfindungsgemäße Zündvorrichtung zwei Baugruppen auf. Diese werden gegeneinander ausgelenkt, wodurch eine Zugkraft auf den beide Baugruppen verbindenden Draht bzw. den auf das Zündhütchen einwirkenden Schlagbolzen aufgebracht wird. Zur Lagerung bzw. Fixierung des Drahtes ist die zweite Baugruppe selbst zweiteilig aus einer Hülse und einem korrespondierenden Einsatz ausgebildet. In dem Hohlraum der Hülse, genauer gesagt am stopfenartigen Ende des Einsatzes ist der Draht fixiert, sodass dieser beim Auslenken bzw. Einknicken der zweiten Baugruppe eine Zugkraft auf den Schlagbolzen ausübt, die dann letztlich den Zündmechanismus auslöst.The invention is characterized in particular by the fact that an ignition device which can be operated with only one hand is used for ignition cords of pyrotechnic articles, detonators, simulators, etc. Instead of the ignition mechanism with two hands by pulling a firing head and trigger a detonator, the ignition device according to the invention comprises two modules. These are deflected against each other, whereby a tensile force is applied to the wire connecting both assemblies or the firing pin acting on the primer. For storage or fixation of the wire, the second module itself is formed in two parts of a sleeve and a corresponding insert. In the cavity of the sleeve, more precisely at the plug-like end of the insert, the wire is fixed so that it exerts a tensile force on the firing pin when deflecting or buckling of the second assembly, which then ultimately triggers the ignition mechanism.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile des Erfindungsgegenstandes ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der zugehörigen Zeichnung, in der ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel mit den dazu notwendigen Einzelheiten und Einzelteilen dargestellt ist. Es zeigen jeweils eine Zündvorrichtung:

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen jeweils skizzenhaft eine erfindungsgemäße Zündvorrichtung 1 in den verschiedenen Zündzuständen. Zunächst ist gemäß Figur 1 die Zündvorrichtung 1 an der ersten Baugruppe 3 zu greifen, wo deren Gehäuse 2 entsprechend an seiner Außenseite 52 als Griff 20 ausgebildet und ergonomisch geformt ist. Die Schraubhülse 33 wird dann, symbolisiert durch den Pfeil 24, ein Stück weit gelöst, der Stopfen 27 wird in Pfeilrichtung 24 aus der Zündvorrichtung 1 herausgezogen. Beide Baugruppen 3 und 4 liegen in einer gemeinsamen Flucht und weisen die gemeinsame Längsachse 8 auf. Mit 22 ist eine später zu demontierende Schutzkappe bezeichnet.The FIGS. 1 to 4 each sketchy an ignition device according to the invention 1 in the various ignition states. First, according to FIG. 1 the ignition device 1 to grip the first assembly 3, where the housing 2 is formed according to its outer side 52 as a handle 20 and ergonomically shaped. The threaded sleeve 33 is then, symbolized by the arrow 24, a piece solved far, the plug 27 is pulled out in the direction of arrow 24 from the ignition device 1. Both assemblies 3 and 4 are in a common flight and have the common longitudinal axis 8. With 22 a later to be demounted protective cap is called.

In Figur 2 ist dann illustriert, dass die Anzündschnur 10 samt endseitigem Dichtungsschlauch 47 in Pfeilrichtung 25 in die nach Entfernen des hier nicht dargestellten Stopfens frei gewordene Öffnung der Schraubhülse 33 bis zu einem hier nicht erkennbaren Anschlag eingeschoben wird. Anschließend wird, symbolisiert durch den Pfeil 26, die Schraubhülse 33 wieder handfest angezogen.In FIG. 2 It is then illustrated that the ignition cord 10 together with the end-side sealing tube 47 is inserted in the direction of arrow 25 into the opening of the screw sleeve 33 which has become free after removal of the plug, not shown here, up to a stop which is not recognizable here. Subsequently, symbolized by the arrow 26, the screw 33 is tightened again hand-tight.

Entsprechend ist in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 3 die Anzündschnur 10 fest über die Schraubhülse 33 in der Zündvorrichtung 1 fixiert. Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 mit dem Bezugszeichen 22 versehene Schutzkappe wurde nun entfernt; der Blick auf die zweite Baugruppe 4 ist frei.Accordingly, in the illustration according to FIG. 3 the ignition cord 10 is firmly fixed via the threaded sleeve 33 in the ignition device 1. The in the Figures 1 and 2 cap provided with the reference numeral 22 has now been removed; the view of the second module 4 is free.

Zum Auslösen des Anzündmechanismus ist die zweite Baugruppe 4 gemäß Pfeil 23 aus der gemeinsamen Längsachse 8 auszulenken. Dies ist in Figur 4 durch die Teilachse 8' in der zweiten Baugruppe illustriert. Entsprechend wird eine Zugkraft auf den beide Baugruppen 3, 4 verbindenden Draht 7 ausgeübt, die im Inneren der ersten Baugruppe 3 dann zum Auslösen des Zündmechanismus über Schlagbolzen und Zündhütchen führt. Durch den Pfeil 23 ist angedeutet, dass die zweite Baugruppe 4 in diese Richtung lediglich durch Aufbringen einer Druckkraft, vorzugsweise über den Daumen, in die in Figur 4 gezeigte Stellung mit der ausgelenkten Achse 8' gebracht werden kann, während gleichzeitig die erste Baugruppe 3 am Gehäuse 2 mit der Innenfläche bzw. den Fingern derselben Hand des Bedieners gehalten wird.To trigger the ignition mechanism, the second assembly 4 is deflected from the common longitudinal axis 8 in accordance with arrow 23. This is in FIG. 4 illustrated by the sub-axis 8 'in the second assembly. Accordingly, a tensile force on the two assemblies 3, 4 connecting wire 7 is exercised, which then leads inside the first assembly 3 to trigger the ignition mechanism via firing pin and primer. By the arrow 23 is indicated that the second assembly 4 in this direction only by applying a compressive force, preferably via the thumb, in the in FIG. 4 shown position with the deflected axis 8 'can be brought while at the same time the first assembly 3 is held on the housing 2 with the inner surface or the fingers of the same hand of the operator.

Dieser Mechanismus ist ergänzend in Figur 5 gezeigt. Der Bediener umfasst mit seiner Hand 40 die beiden Baugruppen 3 und 4, d. h. Gehäuse 2 und Hülse 12. Die Innenhand 48 dient dabei im Zusammenspiel mit Zeigefinger 42, Mittelfinger 43, Ringfinger 44 und/oder kleinem Finger 45 zum Halten der ersten Baugruppe 3.

In dem auf diese Weise gebildeten Hohlraum 50 finden sich der Draht 7 und das Halteteil 30 als Verbindung zum Schlagbolzen 6, der an seinem dem Hohlraum 50 zugewandten Ende über die Kugeln 29 gelagert ist. Ergänzend ist eine Federung im Bereich der Schraubhülse 33 mit den Bezugszeichen 49 versehen. Mit 34 ist ein Ring und mit 35 ein zusätzlicher Klemmring bezeichnet.In FIG. 6 is the ignition device 1 according to the invention with the two modules 3 and 4 shown in longitudinal section. The former is used in particular for receiving the primer 5, the ignition is triggered by a striking movement of the firing pin 6. This is resiliently mounted against the force of a compression spring 31 and connected via a holding part 30 with the housing 2 continuous wire 7. The primer 5 is held by a primer carrier 32. The first assembly 3 comprises, in addition to the housing 2, a connection component 21 which serves for the connection to the screw sleeve 33 for fixing the ignition cord 10. Housing 2 and connecting member 21 are connected via the thread 53, for sealing the sealing ring 36 is used. In the thus formed cavity 50, the wire 7 and the holding member 30 can be found as a connection to the firing pin 6, at its end facing the cavity 50 is mounted over the balls 29. In addition, a suspension in the region of the screw sleeve 33 is provided with the reference numeral 49. With 34 is a ring and 35 denotes an additional clamping ring.

Die zweite Baugruppe 4 weist im Wesentlichen die Hülse 12 und den korrespondierend zu dieser ausgebildeten Einsatz 13 auf. Beide bilden im installierten Zustand eine Baueinheit und umfassen den Hohlraum 51 zur Aufnahme des Endes 16 des Drahtes 7. Der Draht 7 ist über eine Quetschhülse 17 bzw. eine Unterlegscheibe 46 an der Innenseite des Einsatzes 13 fixiert, welcher über ein Gewinde 14 mit der Hülse 12 verbunden ist. Über eine Bohrung 15 durchläuft der Draht 7 den Einsatz 13 und ist an seinem anderen Ende mit dem Halteteil 30 in der anderen Baugruppe 3 verbunden. Nach Entfernen der Schutzkappe 22, zwischen der und dem Gehäuse 2 der ersten Baugruppe 3 noch ein Dichtring 28 positioniert ist, kann die zweite, aus Hülse 12 und Einsatz 13 gebildete Baugruppe 4 aus der Längsachse 8 des Gehäuses 2 ausgelenkt werden. Ergänzend hierzu ist die Fläche 9 an der Stirnseite 11 des ersten Baugruppes 3 so ausgebildet und dimensioniert, dass diese Art von Knickbewegung ermöglicht bzw. unterstützt wird. Zusätzlich ist die Außenseite 18 der zweiten Baugruppe 4 ebenfalls ergonomisch ausgeformt mit einer leichten Einschnürung 19, um auch auf diese Weise die Handhabung der erfindungsgemäßen Zündvorrichtung 1 mit nur einer Hand zu ermöglichen.The second assembly 4 essentially has the sleeve 12 and the insert 13 corresponding thereto. Both form an assembly in the installed state and comprise the cavity 51 for receiving the end 16 of the wire 7. The wire 7 is fixed via a ferrule 17 and a washer 46 on the inside of the insert 13, which via a thread 14 with the sleeve 12 is connected. Via a bore 15, the wire 7 passes through the insert 13 and is connected at its other end to the holding part 30 in the other assembly 3. After removal of the protective cap 22 between which and the housing 2 of the first assembly 3 is still a sealing ring 28 is positioned, the second, formed from sleeve 12 and insert 13 assembly 4 can be deflected from the longitudinal axis 8 of the housing 2.
