Definitions

  • the invention relates to a submunition, in particular illuminated ammunition, which can be ejected from a spin-stabilized carrier bullet, comprising a submunition body and a parachute housing arranged on the rear side of the submunition body with a main parachute located therein, in particular a centrifugal clutch system.
  • the DE 10 2007 048 074 A1 discloses a light ammunition with parachute. In particular, for a safe subsequent recovery is proposed that the light ammunition does not include pyrotechnic bulbs.
  • a parachute for particular ballistically deployed systems discloses the DE 10 2008 023 271 A1 , Also the US 5,386,781 A deals with a parachute system.
  • the US 2,798,683 A discloses a parachute and a parachute connection for an artillery shell, wherein the opening of the main parachute depends on a falling speed. So that another brake parachute can open, the propellant charge is ignited via a time fuse and a flare material is ignited by the propellant charge. By the gases of the propellant charge pressure is exerted on a plate through which an inner sleeve is pushed with the slip-on sleeve from an outer shell of the shell. In this case, shear bolts, which are integrated in the front region of the outer sleeve and a rope-containing slip sleeve sheared off.
  • the latter With the ejection of the inner sleeve and the slip-on sleeve, the latter separates from the inner sleeve, whereby the rope is tensioned and the brake screen is pulled out. If then falls below a certain fall speed, fingers (claws) are released, whereby the body held the brake screen is separated from the inner sleeve. This body is connected via another rope to the main screen and pulls it out of the inner sleeve. The burning flare material then slides on this main screen towards the ground.
  • the DE 41 16 191 A1 relates to a spin-stabilized carrier projectile with a jacket which accommodates two submunitions.
  • the submunition On the rear side, the submunition has a brake and a main parachute and an antenna at the bow. This is protected by a protective cover.
  • a locking element is provided between the jacket of the submunition and the protective cover, which ensures the positive connection between the jacket and protective cover under the action of the centrifugal force of the carrier projectile.
  • the object of the invention is to disclose a submunition which can be ejected from a spin-stabilized carrier bullet, in which an activation of the main parachute takes place at a predetermined spin of the submunition.
  • the invention is essentially based on the idea of detachably connecting the submunition body and the parachute housing via a centrifugal clutch, such that the submunition body and the parachute housing are non-positively and / or positively connected with one another by the centrifugal clutch due to the centrifugal force occurring when the carrier bullet is fired and that, after reducing the centrifugal force to a predetermined value, the centrifugal clutch cancels the connection between the submunition body and the parachute housing.
  • the submunition according to the invention has the advantage that only a small space requirement is required for the centrifugal clutch.
  • the activation of the main parachute takes place purely mechanically and almost independently of the storage and temperature, because no pyrotechnics are used.
  • the activation of the main parachute is also independent of the propellant charge with which the carrier bullet was fired from the corresponding weapon, and thus independent of the spin of the submunition when leaving the carrier bullet.
  • the centrifugal clutch consists of a cylindrical coupling housing which is rotatably connected at one end face with the submunition and the circumference is at least partially covered by the parachute housing.
  • at least one centrifugal bolt is arranged in the coupling housing, which is displaceably mounted in a radially outwardly extending guide bore and fixed with its first end via a tension spring in the vicinity of the central axis of the coupling housing.
  • the guide bore extends to the outer wall of the coupling housing, so that the centrifugal bolt engages with a corresponding centrifugal force acting on it partially through this opening in an aligned detent opening of the parachute housing and the parachute housing connects to the submunition.
  • centrifugal clutch To avoid an imbalance of the centrifugal clutch should be stored in the coupling housing at least two, preferably three, rotationally symmetrical, in guide holes radially outwardly displaceable centrifugal bolts, which engage in the case of sufficient centrifugal force in three correspondingly arranged detent openings of the parachute housing.
  • Fig.1 is denoted by 1 from a spin-stabilized carrier projectile at a predetermined height ejected submunition, which is, for example, a light ammunition, which flies in the direction of the arrow marked 100.
  • the light ammunition 1 comprises a submunition body 2 a luminous body, on the rear side, a hood-shaped parachute housing 3 with a main parachute located therein (not shown) connects.
  • the centrifugal clutch 4 consists of a preferably cylindrical coupling housing 5, which is non-positively connected at one end face 6 with the luminous body 2, and which is peripherally surrounded by the outer wall 7 of the parachute housing 3 (see also Fig.2 and 3 ).
  • centrifugal bolts 8 are arranged, which are displaceably mounted in three radially outwardly extending guide holes 9.
  • the guide bores 9 extend through the outer wall 10 of the coupling housing 5, so that corresponding openings 14 are present on the outer wall side.
  • the centrifugal bolts 8 are fastened with their first end 11 in each case via a tension spring 12 with the coupling housing 5 in the vicinity of the central axis 13. Due to the centrifugal forces acting on them, the centrifugal bolts 8 are displaced radially outwardly against the retention forces of the tension springs 12 and each engage with their second end 17 through the outer wall-side openings 14 into corresponding aligned detent opening 15 of the parachute housing 3 ( Fig.2 ).
  • the tension springs 12 pull the centrifugal bolts 8 out of the detent openings 15 of the parachute housing 3 completely when a predeterminable swirl value is reached. Due to the different masses between the luminous body 2 and the parachute housing 3, the rest of the residual twist then causes a shearing off of the securing bolts 16, so that the connection between the luminous body 2 and the parachute housing 3 is canceled.
