Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of formed charges, that is to say charges comprising an explosive charge placed in a casing and a coating applied to the charge.
  • the formed loads are generally designed to be placed in an envelope of well-defined geometry. Most often the explosive charge is poured inside the casing and the coating is glued to a hollowed out front face of the explosive charge.
  • the patent FR2669721 also proposes means making it possible to compensate for thermal expansions between the explosive charge and the casing. These means comprise an annular filling of a compressible material (for example a polysiloxane elastomer) which is interposed between the envelope of the charge formed and the explosive charge.
  • a compressible material for example a polysiloxane elastomer
  • the patent EP1363103 describes a formed load in which the coating is made integral with the envelope of the load by shims which are moved radially by the tightening of screws, so as to come to rest against an internal bearing surface of the envelope.
  • Such a solution has the advantage of allowing a simple and reliable joining of the envelope and the load while allowing adaptation to an envelope having a different internal diameter.
  • the charge formed according to the invention comprises means for securing the casing and the explosive charge carrying the coating which are simple and reliable and which make it possible to facilitate the assembly operation.
  • the load comprises, for each wedge, a positioning axis arranged at a median plane of the wedge and two clamping screws arranged symmetrically on either side of the positioning axis. .
  • Each wedge may advantageously include a conical external profile intended to cooperate with an internal surface of the casing forming a conical support to ensure the axial retention of the explosive charge relative to the casing.
  • the ring may include an external cylindrical profile ensuring the guidance of the ring relative to the casing.
  • the ring may also include an internal cylindrical surface surrounding an external rim of the coating.
  • the load may include a spring washer interposed between the coating and the abutment surface of the ring.
  • the load may include four wedges regularly distributed angularly.
  • the shims may not cover the entire external profile of the ring and be separated by grooves.
  • the charge may include an annular space between the explosive charge and the envelope, a space filled with a compressible material.
  • a shaped charge 1 according to the invention comprises an explosive charge 2 which is arranged in a generally cylindrical casing 3 of axis 7, and also a coating 4, made of a ductile material such as copper, which is applied to the charge 2 .
  • the rear part of the casing 3 carries a closing cover 21 which receives priming means, for example a detonator 22 and a relay 23. These means do not form part of the invention and are therefore represented very schematically. . Also figured at the base of the explosive charge 2 was a detonation waveform shaping screen 14.
  • This warhead 1 also comprises means ensuring the securing of the casing 3 and the load 2 carrying the coating 4.
  • These securing means comprise a ring 5 having a stop surface 5a for the coating and wedges 6 which each cover an angular sector. There are here four wedges 6 regularly distributed angularly (see figure 2 ).
  • the wedges 6 can move radially with respect to the ring 5 by the action of a clamping means, to come to rest against an internal bearing surface of the casing 3.
  • each wedge 6 comprises a conical external profile 6a which is intended to cooperate with an internal surface 3a of the casing 3 which forms a conical support (see figure 3a ).
  • the wedges 6 a non-conical external profile so as to adapt the invention to the geometries of 3 different envelopes. If the casing 3 does not have a conical bearing surface 3a, it will thus be possible to give the wedges 6 a cylindrical outer profile comprising a knurling or indentations in order to ensure, during the tightening of the wedges 6, the attachment of the latter on the internal surface of the envelope 3, therefore the blocking of the explosive charge relative to the envelope.
  • each wedge 6 is positioned axially with respect to the ring 5 by at least one radial axis 8 which is engaged in a radial bore 9 of the ring 5 and which is housed in a radial hole 10 of the wedge 6.
  • the wedge 6 can slide on axis 8 to approach enclosure 3.
  • each wedge 6 there is a single positioning pin 8 on each wedge 6, which axis is disposed at a midplane of the wedge 6 (see figure 2 ).
  • the axle 8 may include a threaded rear part which will be engaged in an internal thread of the ring 5 and a smooth front part which will receive the wedge 6.
  • each wedge 6 comprises at least one screw 11 for each wedge, here two screws 11 arranged symmetrically on either side of the positioning axis 8 (see figure 2 ), and each clamping screw 11 cooperates with a tapping 12 arranged in the ring 5 (see figure 3b ).
  • the tapping 12 of the clamping screws 11 has its axis parallel to the axis 7 of the casing 3 and the screw 11 has a conical end 11a which cooperates with a conical bore 6b of the wedge 6 (see the figure 3b ).
  • the ring 5 comprises an outer cylindrical profile 19 ensuring the guidance of the ring 5 relative to the casing 3.
  • a seal (not shown) can be positioned in a groove 24 at the level of the outer cylindrical profile 19.
  • the ring 5 comprises an internal cylindrical bearing surface 15 which surrounds an external rim of the coating 4.
  • the ring 5 is positioned precisely vis-à-vis the coating 4 and the explosive charge 2.
  • the ring 5 has at its lower part an external conical bearing surface 16 which is located opposite an internal conical profile 17 which is complementary to it and which is carried by the wedge 6.
  • the ring 5 finally comprises a peripheral groove 18 ( figure 3a ) in which can penetrate a collar of the wedge 6.
  • the wedges 6 can slide radially along the groove 18 and be positioned in the retracted position with the internal conical profile 17 in contact with the bearing surface external conical 16.
  • the maximum external diameter of the assembly formed by the ring 5 carrying the shims 6 is that of the cylindrical profile 19.
  • the ring 5 carrying the four shims 6 can therefore be inserted without difficulty inside the casing 3.
  • the wedges 6 are separated by axial grooves 25. These grooves facilitate the passage of electric wires between the front part of the load and its rear part. This facilitates the connection between a firing control rocket of the charge and the initiation means.
  • annular space 20 is arranged between the explosive charge 2 and the casing 3.
  • This space may be filled with a compressible material (not shown), for example a polyurethane foam tube.
  • a compressible material for example a polyurethane foam tube.
  • the wedging protects the charge against shocks and it also allows radial expansion of the explosive charge 2.
  • the compressible material may also be an elastomer injected into the annular space as described by the patent. FR2669721 .
  • An elastomer injected into the annular space can also fill the grooves 25 and all the spaces between the wedges 6 and the ring 5. This completes the wedging of the entire assembly.
  • the material will be injected through holes 26 made in the coating 4 or holes made in the closure cover 21.
