Description

BESCHREIBUNG  DESCRIPTION
Geschoss, insbesondere im Mittelkaliberbereich Bullet, especially in the middle caliber range
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einem Geschoss, insbesondere einer PELE®-Munition. The invention is concerned with a projectile, in particular a PELE ® -ammo.
Das Funktionsprinzip der PELE® Munition, wie aus der DE 197 00 349 C2 bekannt, basiert darauf, dass Werkstoffe mit geringerer Dichte als der endballistische hochwirksame Penetrationswerkstoff (nachfolgend Penetrator genannt) bei hohen Projektilgeschwindigkeiten gegenüber dem endballistisch hochwirksamen Penetrator im Ziel zurückbleiben. Das eingeschlossene Aufweitmedium bricht unter der Kompression beim Aufschlag des Geschosses den Geschosskörper auf und führt zur Splitterbildung. The operating principle of PELE ® ammunition, as known from DE 197 00 349 C2, based on the fact that materials with a lower density than the final ballistic highly effective penetration material (hereinafter called penetrator) remain at high projectile velocities relative to the terminal-ballistically highly effective penetrator at the finish. The enclosed expansion medium breaks under compression on impact of the projectile on the projectile body and leads to fragmentation.
Ein universal KE-Geschoss offenbart die DE 10 2004 005 042 B4. Dieses unterscheidet sich von bekannten Geschossen dieser Art dadurch, dass ein Außenpenetrator um einen Zentralpenetrator angebracht ist, der Außenpenetrator kugelförmige und / oder zylindrische duktile Schwermetalle beinhaltet und bogenförmig ausgeführt ist. Eine gleiche Ausbildung ist am Zentralpenetrator erkennbar. A universal KE projectile is disclosed in DE 10 2004 005 042 B4. This differs from known projectiles of this type in that an outer penetrator is mounted around a Zentralpenetrator, the Außenpenetrator includes spherical and / or cylindrical ductile heavy metals and is arcuate. A similar training can be seen on the central penetrator.
Die DE 10 2011 011 478 AI offenbart ein Zeriegegeschoss, insbesondere zu Übungszwecken. Ausgegangen wird hierbei von der unter der Bezeichnung PELE®-Munition, die aus der DE 197 00 349 C1 bekannt ist. Dazu wird ausgeführt, dass der Aufbau derartiger Zerlegergeschosse, insbesondere im Mittelkaliberbereich, hohe Ansprüche an deren Herstellung stellt. In den äußeren Hülsenbereich müssen die Segmentteile und das Kernteil eingebracht werden. Das muss exakt erfolgen, um die Flugeigenschaften nicht zu verfälschen. Zudem müssen die einzelnen Teile miteinander verbunden werden. Diese Verbindungen unterliegen dann hohen Anforderungen, beispielsweise bezüglich der Abschussfestigkeit, der Verbind- barkeit mit dem Aufweitmedium etc. Grundgedanke ist es daher, das Geschoss einstückig zu machen. Der Aufprall wirkt dabei auf das ganze Geschoss. Das Geschoss weist über den Querschnitt verteilt Ausnehmungen für ein Aufweitmedium auf. DE 10 2011 011 478 AI discloses a Zeriegegeschoss, especially for training purposes. The starting point in this case of the under the name ® PELE -ammo, which is known from DE 197 00 349 C1. For this purpose, it is stated that the construction of such burster projectiles, especially in the medium caliber range, places high demands on their production. In the outer sleeve portion, the segment parts and the core part must be introduced. This must be done exactly so as not to distort the flight characteristics. In addition, the individual parts must be connected to each other. These compounds are then subject to high requirements, for example with regard to the impact resistance, the bondability with the expansion medium, etc. The basic idea is therefore to make the bullet one-piece. The impact acts on the whole projectile. The projectile has recesses distributed over the cross section for an expansion medium.
Derartige Geschosse werden aus Rohrwaffen mit einem Drall zur Stabilisierung der Geschosslage auf der Flugbahn verschossen. Die durch den Drall dem Geschoss vermittelte sehr hohe Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit stellt hohe Anforderungen auch an die Rundheit des Geschosskörpers und des Penetrators, um die gewünschte Treffgenauigkeit zu erzielen. Hier stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, ein Geschoss mit hoher Treffergenauigkeit anzugeben. Ein weiterer Teilaspekt ist es, den Aufwand zur Herstellung dieses Geschosses zu reduzieren. Such bullets are fired from barrel weapons with a twist to stabilize the bullet position on the trajectory. The very high rotational speed mediated by the spin of the projectile places high demands on the roundness of the projectile body and the penetrator in order to achieve the desired accuracy of aiming. Here, the invention has the task of specifying a projectile with high accuracy. Another aspect is to reduce the expense of producing this projectile.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 bzw. des Patentanspruchs 6. The problem is solved by the features of patent claim 1 and claim 6.
Ein Geschosskörper ist vorteilhaft aus sehr sprödem, gehärtetem Material als Rohrabschnitt ausgebildet. In dessen hinteren Teil befindet sich ein Penetrator. Dieser komprimiert beim Aufschlag auf ein Ziel ein Aufweitmedium. Das führt zum Aufbrechen des Geschosskörpers. Aufgrund der Sprödigkeit des Werkstoffs des Geschosskörpers wird die gewünschte Splitterbildung erreicht. Der Geschosskörper übernimmt zusammen mit einem Geschossheck die Führung des Penetrators während des Rohrdurchganges beim Abschuss und während des Fluges zum Ziel. A projectile body is advantageously formed from very brittle, hardened material as a pipe section. In the rear part there is a penetrator. This compresses an expanding medium when impacting on a target. This leads to the breaking up of the projectile body. Due to the brittleness of the material of the projectile body, the desired fragmentation is achieved. The projectile body together with a bullet tail takes over the leadership of the penetrator during the passage of the tube during launch and during the flight to the target.
Diese Rundheit kann nicht beim einfachen Ablängen eines langen Rohres in entsprechende Rohrabschnitte erreicht werden, da sich die Rohrabschnitte während des Härteprozesses verziehen. Verzogene Rohrabschnitte führen aber einerseits zu schlechter Treffergenauigkeit. Andererseits kann die Komplettierung mit dem sehr genau gefertigten Penetrator zu Brüchen des Geschosskörpers während der Fertigung führen. Die Konsequenz kann eine erhöhte Ausschussquote sein. Aber auch beim Abschuss kann es zu Brüchen des Geschosses kommen, also in der Waffe oder kurz nach Verlassen der Rohrmündung, was dann zum vorzeitigen Zerlegen des Geschosses führt. Die geforderte Rundheit des Geschosskörpers wird daher üblicherweise durch Nacharbeitung, wie Feindrehen oder Rundschleifen, des Innen- und des Außendurchmessers erreicht. Diese Nacharbeit erfolgt dabei über die volle Länge des mit Aufmaß hergestellten Rohrabschnittes außen und innen. This roundness can not be achieved in the simple cutting of a long pipe into corresponding pipe sections, as the pipe sections warp during the hardening process. Warped pipe sections, however, lead on the one hand to bad accuracy. On the other hand, the completion with the very accurately manufactured penetrator can lead to fractures of the projectile body during manufacture. The consequence can be an increased reject rate. But even when launching it can lead to fractures of the projectile, so in the gun or shortly after leaving the muzzle, which then leads to premature disassembly of the projectile. The required roundness of the projectile body is therefore usually achieved by reworking, such as fine turning or cylindrical grinding, the inner and outer diameter. This reworking takes place over the full length of the pipe section made with oversize outside and inside.
Der Erfindung liegt jedoch die Idee zugrunde, den Geschosskörper nicht innen und außen auf seiner gesamten Länge auf die geforderte Rundheit nachzuarbeiten, sondern das Nacharbeiten des Innendurchmessers für die Aufnahme des Penetrators einseitig oder von beiden Seiten mit einem Abstand von der Mitte des Geschosskörpers durchzuführen. So bleibt im Bereich der Mitte des Rohrabschnittes eine Verengung erhalten. However, the invention is based on the idea not to rework the projectile body inside and out over its entire length to the required roundness, but to carry out the reworking of the inner diameter for receiving the penetrator on one side or from both sides with a distance from the center of the projectile body. Thus, a narrowing remains in the region of the middle of the pipe section.
Diese Verengung hat den Vorteil, dass einerseits während der Fertigung der Penetrator gegen diese Verengung festgelegt werden kann, anstatt sich gegen das weichere Aufweitme- dium abzustützen. Andererseits wird erreicht, dass beim Aufprall auf das Ziel, wenn der Geschosskörper abgebremst wird, der Penetrator aufgrund seiner Masseträgheit diesen Geschosskörper an der Verengung sicher aufbricht. Dieses sichere Aufbrechen führt zu der gewünschten Splitterbildung des Geschosskörpers. Darüber hinaus wird durch die Längsfestlegung des Penetrators ein Schwingen desselben innerhalb des Geschosses bzw. des Geschosskörpers vermieden, was zu einer verbesserten Präzision des Geschosses führt. This constriction has the advantage that, on the one hand, during manufacture, the penetrator can be set against this constriction instead of opposing the softer expansion. support the medium. On the other hand, it is achieved that upon impact with the target, when the projectile body is decelerated, the penetrator due to its inertia safely breaks up this projectile body at the constriction. This safe breaking leads to the desired fragmentation of the projectile body. In addition, the longitudinal determination of the penetrator of the same within the projectile or the projectile body is avoided, resulting in improved precision of the projectile.
Ein weiterer Vorteil eines derart gestalteten Geschosskörpers ist die relative Unabhängigkeit von den mechanischen Eigenschaften des Aufweitmediums. Zudem können alle bereits in der DE 197 00 349 C1 aufgezeigten Werkstoffe und Materialformen eingesetzt werden. In einer besonderen Ausführung kann auf ein Aufweitmedium auch verzichtet werden. A further advantage of a projectile body designed in this way is the relative independence from the mechanical properties of the expansion medium. In addition, all already shown in DE 197 00 349 C1 materials and material forms can be used. In a particular embodiment, it is also possible to dispense with an expansion medium.
Vorteilhaft sind die vorgenannten Ausführungen für ein Geschoss im Kaliberbereich von 12 bis 76 mm, insbesondere 12,7 mm. Advantageously, the aforementioned embodiments for a projectile in the caliber range of 12 to 76 mm, in particular 12.7 mm.
Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Zeichnung soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Reference to an embodiment with drawing, the invention will be explained in more detail.
Es zeigt die einzige Figur ein Geschoss 1 (Zeriegergeschoss) mit einem Penetrator 2, der von einem Geschosskörper 3 umhüllt wird. Ein Aufweitmedium 4 ist vor dem Penetrator im Geschosskörper 3 eingebracht. Der Geschosskörper 3 wird durch ein Geschossheck 5 heckseitig abgeschlossen. Der Geschosskörper 3 weist frontseitig eine Geschossogive 6 auf. Die Geschossogive 6 ist bevorzugt über eine Schraubverbindung mit dem Geschosskörper 3 verbindbar. It shows the only figure a projectile 1 (Zeriegergeschoss) with a penetrator 2, which is enveloped by a projectile body 3. An expansion medium 4 is introduced in front of the penetrator in the projectile body 3. The projectile body 3 is completed by a bullet tail 5 rear side. The projectile body 3 has a Geschossogive 6 on the front side. The projectile 6 is preferably connected via a screw with the projectile body 3.
Die Besonderheit des Geschosses 1 liegt darin, dass im Geschosskörper 3 eine Verengung 7 für den Penetrator 2 (bzw. ein Überstand aus Sicht des Innendurchmessers des Geschosskörpers 3) eingebracht ist, an der sich der Penetrator 2 im Geschosskörper 3 abstützen kann. Die Verengung 7 ist bevorzugt im mittleren Bereich 8 des Geschosskörpers 3 vorgesehen. Die Verengung 7 kann zudem umlaufend im Geschosskörper 3 vorhanden sein. Teilumfängliche Lösungen sind jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen. The peculiarity of the projectile 1 is that in the projectile body 3 a constriction 7 for the penetrator 2 (or a supernatant from the perspective of the inner diameter of the projectile body 3) is introduced, on which the penetrator 2 can be supported in the projectile body 3. The constriction 7 is preferably provided in the central region 8 of the projectile body 3. The constriction 7 may also be present circumferentially in the projectile body 3. Partial solutions are not excluded.
Mit Auftreffen des Geschosses 1 auf ein nicht näher dargestelltes Ziel wird der Geschosskörper 3 abgebremst. Der Penetrator 2 wird aufgrund der Massenträgheit hingegen weiterbewegt, das weichere Aufweitmedium 4 komprimierend. Gleichzeitig bricht an der Verengung 7 der Geschosskörper 3 auf, mit der Folge einer sicheren und gewünschten Splitterbil- dung des Geschosskörpers 3. Reicht diese Kraft aus, kann in speziellen Fällen auf ein Aufweitmedium 4 verzichtet werden. With impact of the projectile 1 on a not-shown target of the projectile body 3 is decelerated. By contrast, the penetrator 2 is moved further due to the inertia of mass, compressing the softer expansion medium 4. At the same time, the projectile body 3 breaks at the constriction 7, with the consequence of a safe and desired fragmentation. 3. If this force is sufficient, an expanding medium 4 can be dispensed with in special cases.
Eine Alternative zu der Verengung im mittleren Bereich 8 des Geschosskörpers 3 bildet eine außermittige Verengung (nicht näher dargestellt). Das Wirkprinzip ist dasselbe, wie beschrieben. An alternative to the constriction in the central region 8 of the projectile body 3 forms an off-center constriction (not shown in detail). The principle of action is the same as described.
