Definitions
- the present invention relates to an adaptive projectile, for example for smoke projectiles.
- Such projectiles are often used via appropriate launchers for deploying effect loads of vehicles or stationary devices.
- Such projectiles usually consist of a housing and an internal effect body, which is thrown and can deploy the corresponding effect charge.
- the throwing body is mounted on a corresponding launcher, wherein it is important that the throwing body in the assembled state on the launcher possesses as little freedom of movement to perform when deploying the throwing body no movement so that the throwing body can be applied accurately.
- a corresponding projectile is shown in DE 10 2013 108 822 B4.
- a projectile is attached to a housing on the ....
- This attachment must be designed detachable and can be done by positive or non-positive or by screwing or plugging and by a bayonet lock.
- This object is achieved with the features of the main claim.
- Proposed is a projectile with a housing which has guide fins. These guide fins are mounted on the circumference of the housing and extend in the axial direction. These guide fins then form the outer radius when introducing the throwing body into a corresponding thrower.
- the housing has a cavity for receiving an inner shell, to the housing is designed as a hollow cylinder and the interior of the hollow cylinder is the cavity for receiving the inner shell.
- the inner shell in turn is provided with at least one pyrotechnic active charge.
- pyrotechnic active charge For this purpose, several effective charges are conceivable, in particular mist-generating charges. But there are also other optical charges conceivable, such as charges for the application of infrared particles or acoustic charges to produce a bang. Since at least one pyrotechnic active charge is provided, several of these charges can be combined.
- the throwing body further has a powder chamber which provides a propellant charge for the throwing body.
- This propellant generates the appropriate pressure when ignited to eject the projectile from the launcher.
- the powder chamber can be filled to variable, namely with variable amounts of powder or with a corresponding material composition of the powder. In this way, the desired pressure is generated, are set arbitrarily when throwing the throwing body.
- the throwing body on a delay set which can ignite the active charge or the active charges.
- the delay set directly ignites the active charge or that an ignition channel is provided, which initiates the effective charge by combustion.
- the various active charges in the longitudinal plane are successively arranged in the shell of the projectile.
- a single effective charge can also be arranged in layers.
- the projectile has a contact by means of which the propellant charge can be initiated in the powder chamber, as well as the delay set can be initiated.
- the contact thus ensures an ignition of active charge and delay set.
- the contact is arranged so that when introducing the throwing body into a corresponding thrower, the contact is in operative connection with a corresponding ignition device.
- the contact can be designed for this purpose as an ignition plate or as an electrical contact.
- a compensation ring For insertion into different launchers with different caliber housing has a recording option for a compensation ring.
- the possibility of receiving such a compensation ring is also provided on the circumference of the housing, for which purpose the guide fins are not arranged over the entire length of the housing at this. Rather, it is so that the guide fins are mounted on the housing thrower side. The fact that they are not continuously attached to the housing, arises at the opposite end of the housing, an area or ceremoniessfinnen and thus represents the possibility of receiving the balance ring.
- the balancing ring is attached to the housing in the receptacle provided for this purpose, preferably by interference fit. It is also conceivable gluing or screwing the balancing ring.
- the balance ring ensures that if the throwing body has a smaller caliber than the launcher that this caliber difference is compensated with the compensation ring and thus at least in the area of the balance ring of the litter body is extended to the required caliber of the thrower.
- the housing has bolt receptacles, in which bolts can be screwed, which act for pitchers, in which the throwing body is screwed, or is introduced by means of bayonet closure.
- the projectile according to the invention has a circumferential retaining groove, preferably near the end of the housing of the projectile body to which the contact is located. About this holding the throwing body can be introduced into launcher, which have a corresponding retaining spring.
- the projectile according to the invention for contact on a taper, so that a shoulder is created by this taper.
- This shoulder is reinforced by the attachment of the guide fins to the housing. In Werfersystemen with corresponding counter-springing these springs can then be supported on this shoulder and thus ensure the support of the throwing body.
- the bolts are not screwed into the bolt receptacles provided for this, in order not to be a hindrance to receiving via ring springs and / or retaining springs which rest on the shoulder.
- the guide fins are not fully attached to the housing of the projectile, but only partially, so there are several leaders. This results in recesses between the individual guide fins, which act as a release of pressure when the throwing body is deployed. Excess pressure can escape through these recesses. Due to the configuration of the recess, namely in depth and width, the pressure relief can also be adjusted depending on the application.
- the inner shell with the active charges is slidably disposed in the housing and although longitudinally displaceable. Upon initiation of the contact and thus initiation of the powder chamber, the inner shell is expelled from the housing. Due to the also initiated delay set the projectile flies only a while on its trajectory, before then the active charges ignited and deployed accordingly.
- the contact or delay set opposite end of the inner shell is closed with a lid.
- the attachment of the lid to the inner shell is made resilient to provide a shock absorber function to protect the projectile. If a force acts on the projectile, in particular on the cover, this force is absorbed by the elasticity of the attachment of the lid and at least partially absorbed. As a result, the throwing body is protected, in particular against external triggering.
- the damming of the projectile which is necessary for launching from a launcher, is done in the present invention in that the inner shell is attached via a shearing edge to the housing.
- This shearing edge can be snapped into the housing upon insertion of the shell and provides a predetermined breaking point, which breaks with a corresponding axial force acting on the shell and thus releases the movement of the shell.
- the damming then works by establishing a pressure in the powder chamber after initiation of the powder, which pressure acts in the axial direction on the casing. Only when this pressure is large enough, the shearing edge breaks as a predetermined breaking point and releases the movement of the inner shell.
- the required axial force which should lead to rupture of the predetermined breaking point, can be adjusted by material or wall thickness of the material as needed, so that different degrees dams are guaranteed.
- the delay element has an ignition protection. This ensures that the delay element is only initiated when a corresponding signal has been transmitted via the contact. In case of false signals and / or other unwanted effects on the projectile thereby ignition is prevented.
- the inner shell and / or the housing may be integrally configured to facilitate manufacture. This makes it possible to equip different types of launcher systems with always the same projectile regardless of the caliber or the contact.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective drawing of a projectile according to the invention without locking bolt
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the throwing body of FIG. 1
- Fig. 3 is a detail drawing of the powder chamber of a projectile according to the invention
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a projectile according to the invention with introduced locking bolt
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a projectile according to the invention with applied compensation ring
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of an empty housing of a projectile according to the invention
- Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the inner shell of a projectile according to the invention
- FIG. 1 the perspective view of a projectile according to the invention can be seen.
- the throwing body has a housing which has guide fins 2. Between the guide fins 2 are recesses which act as pressure relief 1.
- the throwing body is designed almost cylindrical, wherein the side with which the throwing body is placed in a designated launcher, is equipped with a tapered cylinder area. By means of this tapered cylinder region, a shoulder 8 is created. By means of this shoulder 8, a corresponding spring of a launcher system can engage this shoulder 8 and stabilize the litter body.
- a contact 3 is provided, by means of which the throwing body can be ignited. This contact 3 then initiates the powder in the powder chamber, not shown in Fig. 1, as well as the delay set also not shown, which then ignites the active charges.
- radially mounted bolt receivers 5 In the tapered area radially mounted bolt receivers 5 can be seen, in which corresponding locking bolts can be introduced. This introduction of the locking bolt is done by screwing or plugging. This locking connections can be provided.
- the tapered portion of the throwing body on a circumferential retaining groove 4 in which also a holding device of a corresponding thrower in the form of a ring spring can engage.
- the opposite side of the contact 3 from the throwing body according to the invention is closed with a lid 10.
- This cover 10 is mounted after introduction of the effective charges in the throwing body to close the throwing body or the inner shell of the throwing body.
- Fig. 2 shows a section through the perspective view of Fig. 1, wherein now also the introduction of the active charges 1 1, 12 can be seen.
- the active charge 12 is shown layered and both active charges are ignited via the delay set 13. This is in turn initiated by contact 3.
- the cover 10 is applied to the projectile or the inner shell, that a shock absorption 17 is ensured.
- the lid 10 and the attachment of the lid 10 is made elastic. Now, if a foreign pressure is exerted on the throwing body, this is absorbed by the elastic connection of the lid and thus protects the projectile.
- an inner casing Inserted into the throwing body is an inner casing which is latched by means of a shearing edge 14 into the housing of the throwing body.
- This shearing edge 14 acts as a damming of the projectile and ensures that a predetermined breaking point is generated. If a sufficiently high pressure is built up by burning off the powder in the powder chamber 15, the predetermined breaking point breaks and the inner shell is released, so that the inner shell with the active charges is ejected to the right from FIGS. 2 and 3.
- Fig. 4 shows the same features of Fig. 1, this time corresponding locking pin 6 are introduced into the bolt receptacles provided for this purpose. These locking bolts 6 are used for locking in certain Werfersystemen and can be optionally attached. By means of the lock, it is then possible to screw the projectile into a corresponding launcher or to bring it into a corresponding launcher with bayonet closure.
- a compensation ring 7 is shown. This is mounted in the region of the housing of the throwing body into which the guide fins 2 do not extend.
- the compensation ring 7 provides for the caliber compensation between the projectile according to the invention and the thrower used. If the throwing body is equipped with a smaller caliber than that of the thrower, this compensating ring 7 compensates for the difference between the throwing body and the thrower, so that the throwing body according to the invention is held firmly and movably in the thrower only in the axial direction.
- FIG. 6 an inventive housing of a throwing body is shown, but without introduced inner shell.
- the cavity 9 of the housing can be seen.
- the tapered portion of the housing with the powder chamber 15 and the delay set 13 can be seen, and the contact 3 for igniting the two aforementioned can be seen.
- Fig. 6 also introduced locking pin 6 are shown.
- Fig. 7 shows the inner shell 16 of the projectile according to the invention with the active charges 1 1 and 12.
- the present invention is not limited to two effective charges, several are possible.
- the delay set 13 extends into the inner shell 16 in order to ignite the active charges 1 1, 12 can. Opposite the delay set 13, the inner shell 16 is closed with a lid 10.
- the present invention is limited to the aforementioned features, but further embodiments are conceivable.
- the guide fins could extend over the entire length of the housing, minus the tapered area. Accordingly, then the compensation ring is applied to the fins, rather than in the area of the recording possibility in which the fins are not.
