Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of the gyro-stabilized projectiles comprising at least two neighboring parts intended to rotate at different roll speeds, as for example described in the publication US 2008/315032 A1 .
- the longitudinal stabilization of a large caliber projectile is conventionally obtained by rolling the projectile about its longitudinal axis. Such rotation is achieved by driving the projectile with helical grooves located in the launcher tube.
- Modern projectiles include means for guiding or increasing the range, such as control surfaces and vanes, which hardly accommodate the high speeds of roll rotation of the projectile due to the aerodynamic opposition of these planes to the rotation.
- the warhead has control surfaces.
- the body is called to rotate at a high speed of the order of 200 to 400 revolutions per second while the warhead must not or little rotate in an absolute reference system.
- To operate the decoupling in rotation between the nose and the body it is known to use ball bearings at the interface between body and warhead.
- the acceleration is so violent that the bearing surfaces of the balls wedged between warhead and body are often deformed by the contact pressure, which does not allow a satisfactory operation of the bearing. ball during the flight phase.
- the firing acceleration leads to a deformation of the rolling tracks of the balls which interferes with the correct operation of the decoupling in rotation during the flight.
- the invention proposes to solve this problem of degradation of the decoupling means on the gyro-stabilized projectiles comprising a part detachable in rotation.
- the angle between the conical surface and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the projectile is greater than 0.001 degree.
- a plurality of housings are distributed radially equally around the ring thus forming a ball bearing cage.
- the detachable portion may be constituted by a ring having deployable fins.
- the abutment surface of the body will then be formed by a surface of a base disposed behind the body and carrying a sealing belt.
- the detachable portion may be constituted by an ogive of the projectile comprising control surfaces.
- a projectile 1 comprises a body ogivé 3 surrounded by a ring 100.
- the body 3 has in its rear part a base 2.
- the ring 100 is a part of the projectile which is detachable in rotation relative to the body 3 and has fins deployable 4 located in the vicinity of the base 2. Outside the flight phases of the projectile 1, the fins 4 are folded into the housings 6 of the ring 100 and thus adopt a non-represented folded position that they occupy during the storage phases of the projectile 1 and during gunfire.
- the base 2 is surrounded by a belt 5.
- This belt 5 is intended to engage in helical grooves of a weapon tube (tube and grooves not shown) to communicate a rotational movement in roll around the longitudinal axis 7 of the projectile 1, during the firing phase of the projectile 1. This phase extends from the departure of the projectile 1 to its exit from the tube.
- the projectile receives a sudden thrust on the rear face AR of the base 2 which causes a longitudinal acceleration of the projectile throughout the phase in question.
- the projectile 1 is in so-called flight phase until it reaches the goal.
- the projectile is in barrel firing phase, the fins 4 are folded integrally in the housings 6 of the ring 100 (ring not visible at the figure 3 ).
- the front portion AV of the body 3 comprises an elongated and threaded portion 3a corresponding to a tapping 2a of the base 2.
- the ring 100 has an annular surface 9 (visible surface at the figure 2 ) transverse to the projectile 1 and directed towards the rear AR.
- This surface 9 is intended to serve as a rolling surface for balls 12 in flight phase.
- the base 2 further comprises a bearing surface 10 which is located facing the bearing surface 9 of the body at the joint 8 between the ring 100 and the base 2.
- the bearing surface forms a ring abutment surface 10 .
- the bearing surface 9 is, during the firing phase, bearing on the abutment surface 10.
- the base 2 comprises, at its bearing surface and delimited by two annular partitions 101a and 101b, a conical groove 101 intended to contain a ring 102 having housings 11 intended to each contain a ball 12.
- Each ball housing 12 extends radially and is traversed relative to each of the faces of the ring.
- Each housing 11 of the ring 102 thus comprises a pair radial partitions capable of holding the balls by the side walls of the housing 11.
- the ring 102 has in its central part a solid annular zone 102a coaxial with the projectile and able to rotate around the central wall 101a of the groove 101.
- the ring 102 thus constitutes a ball bearing cage allowing the balls to roll on the conical surface 13 of the bottom of the groove 101.
- the conical surface 13 of the bottom of the groove 101 has its deepest part located towards the axis. 7 of the projectile and the shallower part towards the outside of the projectile.
- the cross section of the ring preferably corresponds to the conical surface 13 of the groove 101 in order to be able to guide the balls 12 laterally throughout their radial movements on this conical surface 13.
- the conicity of the conical surface 13 and the diameter of the balls 12 are chosen such that, when the balls 12 are placed at the most axial ends of their housings 11 (closest to the axis 7 of the projectile), the balls are fully in the throat 101.
- the ring 100 (detachable part) is then in abutment against the abutment surface 10 of the base via its rolling surface 9.
- the depth P of the groove 101 is greater than the diameter of the balls when the balls are at the end of their housing closest to the axis 7 of the projectile.
- This depth P is greater than the diameter of a ball 12 so that the bearing surface 9 can bear against the abutment surface 10 of the base during the firing phase.
- all the balls 12 are located in the part of their housing 11 closest to the axis 7 of the projectile, the deepest part of the groove 101.
- the conical surface of the groove 13 forms an angle with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the projectile which is greater than 0.001 °.
- the projectile 1 is in flight phase. Stopping the axial acceleration of the projectile decreases the bearing force of the ring 100 on its abutment surface 10.
- a clearance J is thus created at the joint 8 between the ring 100 and the base 2.
- This depth p is smaller than the diameter D of a ball 12.
- Each ball 12 is then bearing on the bearing surface 9 of the body 3 on the one hand and on the conical face 13 of the groove 101 on the other hand.
- the balls 12 rotate on themselves in the housings 11 and thus run through the tread 9, the assembly forming a ball bearing which prevents friction between the ring 100 and base 2.
- the invention allows the use of ball bearings for decoupling in rotation a ring 100 carrying fins and a projectile body 3 in flight without degrading the ball bearing during the firing phase of the projectile.
- the fins 4 of the ring are deployed by an actuator not shown at a given moment on the trajectory of the projectile and as a function of the trajectory correction needs of the projectile considered.
- the fins will make it possible, at a given moment, to correct horizontal deflection of the trajectory of the projectile as described, for example, by the patent. EP884554 .
- the decoupling in rotation between the ring and the projectile body will allow braking of the ring without impairing the gyrostabilization.
- the means of the invention can also be implemented to ensure a rotational decoupling of an ogive relative to the body of the projectile as described by FR2980842 and as shown in figure 6 where the ogive 100 is free to rotate relative to the body 3 along the longitudinal axis 7 by means of a needle bearing 21 and a ring 102 having balls 12 as for the embodiment described above.
- the detachable portion will be constituted by the warhead 100 of the projectile which will include control surfaces 20.
- the abutment surface 10 will be formed by a surface of the projectile body 3 located directly behind the detachable warhead 100.

Description
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des projectiles gyrostabilisés comportant au moins deux parties voisines destinées à tourner à des vitesses de roulis différentes, tel que par exemple décrit dans la publication
La stabilisation longitudinale d'un projectile de gros calibre est classiquement obtenue par la mise en roulis du projectile autour de son axe longitudinal. Une telle mise en rotation est obtenue en entraînant le projectile avec des rainures hélicoïdales situées dans le tube lanceur. Les projectiles modernes comportent des moyens de guidage ou d'augmentation de la portée, tels que des gouvernes et des ailettes, qui s'accommodent difficilement des vitesses élevées de rotation en roulis du projectile du fait de l'opposition aérodynamique de ces plans à la rotation.The longitudinal stabilization of a large caliber projectile is conventionally obtained by rolling the projectile about its longitudinal axis. Such rotation is achieved by driving the projectile with helical grooves located in the launcher tube. Modern projectiles include means for guiding or increasing the range, such as control surfaces and vanes, which hardly accommodate the high speeds of roll rotation of the projectile due to the aerodynamic opposition of these planes to the rotation.
Il est connu par le brevet
Il est aussi connu de réaliser des projectiles dans lesquels on dispose des ailettes déployables solidaires d'une bague qui est libre en rotation par rapport au corps du projectile.It is also known to produce projectiles in which deployable vanes integral with a ring which is free in rotation relative to the body of the projectile.
Ces ailettes sont déployées à un instant donné sur trajectoire à l'aide d'un actionneur commandable par la fusée du projectile. Elles permettent d'assurer une correction de la déviation horizontale du projectile. Ce mécanisme de correction est décrit en détails par le brevet
Pour ces projectiles également, l'accélération de tir conduit à une déformation des pistes de roulement des billes ce qui nuit au fonctionnement correct du découplage en rotation lors du vol.For these projectiles also, the firing acceleration leads to a deformation of the rolling tracks of the balls which interferes with the correct operation of the decoupling in rotation during the flight.
L'invention propose de résoudre ce problème de dégradation des moyens de découplage sur les projectiles gyrostabilisés comportant une partie désolidarisable en rotation.The invention proposes to solve this problem of degradation of the decoupling means on the gyro-stabilized projectiles comprising a part detachable in rotation.
Ainsi, l'invention porte sur un projectile gyrostabilisé comportant un corps et au moins une partie désolidarisable en rotation par rapport au corps, projectile caractérisé en ce que :
- la partie désolidarisable est apte à se mouvoir longitudinalement par rapport au corps avec un jeu axial, jusqu'à venir en appui contre une surface de butée du corps, la partie désolidarisable pouvant tourner, lorsqu'elle n'est pas en appui contre sa surface de butée, par rapport au corps autour de l'axe longitudinal de roulis du projectile et comportant au moins une surface circulaire transversale au projectile et orientée vers l'arrière et apte à servir de portée de roulement pour des billes,
- la surface de butée située en regard de la portée de roulement de la partie désolidarisable comporte une gorge annulaire recevant un anneau comportant au moins trois logements destinés à contenir chacun une bille, logements s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur de l'anneau et débouchant sur chaque face de celui-ci, le fond de la gorge comportant une surface conique dont la plus grande profondeur relativement à la surface de butée est située vers l'axe du projectile, la conicité de cette surface et le diamètre des billes étant choisis tels que, lorsque les billes sont placées au niveau de l'extrémité la plus axiale de leur logement, les billes sont entièrement dans la gorge et la partie désolidarisable est en appui contre sa surface de butée et lorsque les billes sont placées à l'extrémité la plus externe de leur logement les billes sortent partiellement de la gorge et sont en appui contre la portée de roulement.
- the detachable part is able to move longitudinally with respect to the body with an axial clearance, until it bears against an abutment surface of the body, the detachable part being rotatable when it is not resting against its surface abutment, with respect to the body about the longitudinal axis of roll of the projectile and having at least one circular surface transverse to the projectile and oriented rearwardly and adapted to serve as a bearing surface for balls,
- the abutment surface facing the rolling surface of the separable portion comprises an annular groove receiving a ring having at least three housings each for holding a ball, housing extending radially outwardly of the ring and opening on each side of it, the back of the throat having a conical surface whose greatest depth relative to the abutment surface is located towards the axis of the projectile, the conicity of this surface and the diameter of the balls being chosen such that, when the balls are placed at the end the most axial of their housing, the balls are entirely in the groove and the releasable portion bears against its abutment surface and when the balls are placed at the outermost end of their housing the balls partially leave the groove and are in support against the rolling range.
Avantageusement, l'angle entre la surface conique et un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du projectile est supérieur à 0.001 degré.Advantageously, the angle between the conical surface and a plane perpendicular to the axis of the projectile is greater than 0.001 degree.
Avantageusement, une multitude de logements sont répartis radialement de manière égale autour de l'anneau formant ainsi une cage de roulement à billes.Advantageously, a plurality of housings are distributed radially equally around the ring thus forming a ball bearing cage.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la partie désolidarisable pourra être constituée par une bague comportant des ailettes déployables.According to one embodiment, the detachable portion may be constituted by a ring having deployable fins.
La surface de butée du corps sera alors formée par une surface d'un culot disposé en arrière du corps et portant une ceinture d'étanchéité.The abutment surface of the body will then be formed by a surface of a base disposed behind the body and carrying a sealing belt.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la partie désolidarisable pourra être constituée par une ogive du projectile comportant des gouvernes de pilotage.According to another embodiment, the detachable portion may be constituted by an ogive of the projectile comprising control surfaces.

Selon la
Le culot 2 est entouré par une ceinture 5. Cette ceinture 5 est destinée à s'engager dans des rainures hélicoïdales d'un tube d'arme (tube et rainures non représentées) afin de communiquer un mouvement de rotation en roulis autour de l'axe longitudinal 7 du projectile 1, lors de la phase de tir canon du projectile 1. Cette phase s'étend depuis le départ du projectile 1 jusqu'à sa sortie du tube.The
Durant cette phase, le projectile reçoit une poussée brutale sur la face arrière AR du culot 2 qui provoque une accélération longitudinale du projectile durant toute la phase en question. A la sortie du tube, le projectile 1 est en phase dite de vol jusqu'à son arrivée au but visé.During this phase, the projectile receives a sudden thrust on the rear face AR of the
Durant la phase de vol il n'est plus soumis à la poussée des gaz et subit une décélération progressive et poursuit sa trajectoire par inertie. On notera que le culot 2 et la bague 100 sont voisins au niveau d'une jointure 8 qui sera mieux vue aux figures suivantes.During the flight phase it is no longer subject to thrust and undergoes a gradual deceleration and continues its trajectory by inertia. Note that the
Selon les
Ces deux formes 2a et 3a sont concentriques relativement à l'axe longitudinal de roulis 7 et solidaires l'une de l'autre. La bague 100 comporte une surface annulaire 9 (surface visible à la
Cette surface 9 est destinée à servir de portée de roulement pour des billes 12 en phase de vol.This
Le culot 2 comporte par ailleurs une surface d'appui 10 qui est située en regard de la portée de roulement 9 du corps au niveau de la jointure 8 entre bague 100 et culot 2. La surface d'appui forme une surface de butée 10 annulaire.The
La portée de roulement 9 est, en phase de tir canon, en appui sur la surface de butée 10.The
Le culot 2 comporte, au niveau de sa surface d'appui et délimitée par deux cloisons annulaires 101a et 101b, une gorge conique 101 destinée à contenir un anneau 102 comportant des logements 11 destinés à contenir chacun une bille 12.The
Chaque logement 11 de bille 12 s'étend radialement et il est traversant relativement à chacune des faces de l'anneau. Chaque logement 11 de l'anneau 102 comporte ainsi une paire de cloisons radiales aptes à retenir les billes par les parois latérales des logements 11.Each
L'anneau 102 comporte dans sa partie centrale une zone annulaire pleine 102a coaxiale au projectile et apte à tourner autour de la paroi centrale 101a de la gorge 101.The
L'anneau 102 constitue ainsi une cage de roulement à billes permettant aux billes de rouler sur la surface conique 13 du fond de la gorge 101. La surface conique 13 du fond de la gorge 101 a sa partie la plus profonde située vers l'axe 7 du projectile et la partie la moins profonde vers l'extérieur du projectile. La section transversale de l'anneau correspond préférentiellement avec la surface conique 13 de la gorge 101 pour pouvoir guider latéralement les billes 12 tout au long de leurs mouvements radiaux sur cette surface conique 13.The
La conicité de la surface conique 13 et le diamètre des billes 12 sont choisis tels que, lorsque les billes 12 sont placées au niveau des extrémités les plus axiales de leurs logements 11 (les plus proches de l'axe 7 du projectile), les billes sont entièrement dans la gorge 101.The conicity of the
La bague 100 (partie désolidarisable) est alors en appui contre la surface de butée 10 du culot via sa portée de roulement 9.The ring 100 (detachable part) is then in abutment against the
Lorsque les billes 12 sont placées au niveau des extrémités les plus externes de leurs logements, les billes 12 sortent partiellement de la gorge 101 et elles sont en appui contre la portée de roulement 9.When the
Ainsi la profondeur P de la gorge 101 est supérieure au diamètre des billes lorsque les billes se situent à l'extrémité de leurs logements la plus proche de l'axe 7 du projectile.Thus the depth P of the
Cette profondeur P est supérieure au diamètre d'une bille 12 de manière à ce que la portée 9 puisse être en appui sur la surface de butée 10 du culot en phase de tir canon.This depth P is greater than the diameter of a
Ainsi, durant cette phase, les billes 12 ne sont pas en appui avec la portée 9 et elles ne peuvent pas détériorer celle-ci.Thus, during this phase, the
Comme on peut le voir à la
La surface conique de la gorge 13 forme un angle avec un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du projectile qui est supérieur à 0.001°.The conical surface of the
Selon les
Parallèlement la force centrifuge subie par les billes 12, du fait de la giration du culot 2, va provoquer un mouvement des billes 12 vers l'extérieur du culot 2 au sein des logements 11 et donc le déplacement longitudinal de la bague 100 relativement au corps 3.At the same time, the centrifugal force experienced by the
Il se crée ainsi un jeu J au niveau de la jointure 8 entre bague 100 et culot 2. Une fois à l'extrémité externe de leurs logements 11, les billes 12 sont dans la zone de plus faible profondeur p de la gorge 101.A clearance J is thus created at the joint 8 between the
Cette profondeur p est inférieure au diamètre D d'une bille 12. Chaque bille 12 est alors en appui sur la portée 9 du corps 3 d'une part et sur la face conique 13 de la gorge 101 d'autre part. Les billes 12 tournent sur elles-mêmes dans les logements 11 et parcourent ainsi la bande de roulement 9, l'ensemble formant un roulement à billes qui évite les frottements entre bague 100 et culot 2.This depth p is smaller than the diameter D of a
On voit sur la
On voit donc que l'invention permet l'usage de roulements à billes pour découpler en rotation une bague 100 portant des ailettes et un corps 3 de projectile 1 en vol sans dégrader le roulement à billes pendant la phase de tir du projectile.It can thus be seen that the invention allows the use of ball bearings for decoupling in rotation a
Les ailettes 4 de la bague sont déployées par un actionneur non représenté à un instant donné sur la trajectoire du projectile et en fonction des besoins de correction de trajectoire du projectile considéré.The
Les ailettes permettront d'assurer à un instant choisi une correction en déviation horizontale de la trajectoire du projectile comme décrit par exemple par le brevet
Le déploiement des ailettes sera assuré par la force centrifuge due à la rotation du projectile autour de son axe de roulis 7.The deployment of the fins will be ensured by the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the projectile around its axis of
Le découplage en rotation entre la bague et le corps de projectile permettra le freinage de la bague sans nuire à la gyrostabilisation.The decoupling in rotation between the ring and the projectile body will allow braking of the ring without impairing the gyrostabilization.
Les moyens de l'invention peuvent aussi être mis en oeuvre pour assurer un découplage en rotation d'une ogive par rapport au corps du projectile tel que décrit par
Dans ce cas la partie désolidarisable sera constituée par l'ogive 100 du projectile qui comportera des gouvernes de pilotage 20. La surface de butée 10 sera formée par une surface du corps 3 de projectile située directement derrière l'ogive désolidarisable 100.In this case the detachable portion will be constituted by the
