Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ignition device for ammunition with a mechanical ignition device. This is particularly suitable for the remote-controlled ignition of ammunition.
  • the mechanical ignition device can in particular be designed as a primer cap.
  • a mechanical hammer is then used to activate the ignition device and to ignite the ammunition.
  • Such devices for igniting ammunition with an ignition element work predominantly with mechanically preloaded strikers.
  • This includes a remote-controlled trigger mechanism and a remote-controlled safety system, which are intended to prevent unintentional firing.
  • the pretensioning of strikers does not rule out the possibility of a shot being fired as a result of incorrect operation, since the energy required for the ignition pulse is available and can be called up by the pretensioning.
  • Corresponding facilities are, for example, from CH 711 375 A2 known.
  • Disclosed is a separate solution for pretensioning the hammer, for releasing the hammer and for securing the hammer. The hammer is operated with the aid of an actuator.
  • FR 1 419 970 A discloses an apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the weapon can be in a state that is not reliably defined and it can happen that the ammunition is unintentionally ignited.
  • the present invention addresses this problem and proposes a solution.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an ignition device for ammunition with a mechanical ignition device which functions reliably and offers improved security against unintentional ignition of the ammunition compared to the prior art.
  • This object is achieved with the features of the present main claim.
  • a device for igniting ammunition in particular remotely controllable, is proposed, with an ignition device and a hammer.
  • the ignition device is preferably designed as a primer cap.
  • the aforementioned striking piece is designed as a mechanical striking piece which can act on the ignition device and cause the ignition device to ignite the ammunition.
  • the device according to the invention contains a movable deflection lever on which the hammer is arranged.
  • a striking mass is mounted in the device in a longitudinally movable manner and can assume several positions due to its mobility, but at least one rest position and one activation position.
  • the longitudinal movement takes place parallel to the central axis of the device.
  • the deflection lever is designed such that the striking mass can set the deflection lever in motion, preferably a rotary movement, when it is moved.
  • the striking mass can thus come into operative connection with the reversing lever in order to carry out the aforementioned movement. This is preferably done when the striking mass is moved from the rest position into the activation position.
  • a safety device is provided according to the invention, which can hinder the movement of the reversing lever. Since the lever is connected to the hammer, the movement of the hammer is also hindered by the safety device.
  • the obstruction prevents the movement of the fuse at least partially in such a way that the hammer cannot come into operative connection with the ignition device. This creates considerable security against unintentional ignition of the ammunition.
  • the fuse is designed as a shaft and is guided in a guide of the impact mass.
  • the shaft comprises a recess which can allow the movement of the reversing lever in such a way that the hammer can come into operative connection with the ignition device.
  • the shaft can be rotated or pivoted in such a way that the movement of the reversing lever is restricted so that it cannot come into operative connection with the ignition device.
  • a housing is provided for the device, which is designed to be closable by means of a housing cover. With the housing cover open, the device can be introduced into the housing and also serviced there. The housing can be closed appropriately by the housing cover, so that the device can be protected from environmental influences.
  • the impact mass assumes its rest position as a starting position. It is preferably proposed that a pulse amplifier be provided in order to keep the impact mass in its rest position. This prevents the impact mass from moving that is unintentional.
  • the pulse amplifier is designed as a magnet, in particular as a neodymium magnet.
  • This can be integrated into the impact mass or made in one piece with it.
  • the impact mass consists of the mass, a guide which extends the body of the mass in the longitudinal direction and in which the fuse is guided, and the pulse amplifier.
  • the housing cover should be designed to be magnetizable, for example made of metal.
  • the pulse amplifier can then use its magnetic force to hold the impact mass in the rest position, in which the magnetic force of the pulse amplifier acts on the housing cover.
  • the striking mass can now be moved out of its rest position, specifically in the direction of its activation position, by triggering an electromagnet, which can in particular be remotely controlled.
  • the impact mass is connected to the armature of the electromagnet.
  • the armature with the striking mass is then set in motion by the magnetic force of the electromagnet and moved out of its rest position.
  • a magnetic force must be applied that is greater than the holding force of the pulse amplifier. Due to the required force of the magnet to overcome the holding force of the pulse amplifier, a larger movement impulse acts on the impact mass than without the presence of the pulse amplifier. As a result, a more reliable ignition of the ignition device is achieved, since the operative connection of the hammer and the ignition device is achieved with a greater force.
  • the striking mass moves the lever and ensures that the striking piece is moved in the direction of the ignition device at a speed and with such a high impulse that the striking piece activates the ignition device so that the ignition device the Can ignite ammunition.
  • the power transmission from the impact mass to the reversing lever can take place by receiving the reversing lever in the guide of the impact mass, but also through mutually acting projections and / or edges of the impact mass.
  • the striking mass After moving the striking mass and then igniting the ammunition, the striking mass can be moved back into its rest position by switching off the electromagnet. The device is then again in the rest position or in the starting position.
  • the device contain a return element which can move the guide element in its rest position when the electromagnet is not switched on.
  • a return element which can move the guide element in its rest position when the electromagnet is not switched on.
  • a spring can be provided for this purpose, but hydraulic, electrical or pneumatic return elements are also conceivable.
  • the electromagnet When using a return element, the electromagnet must be designed in such a way that the driving force, the force of the return element and possibly the holding force of the pulse amplifier can be overcome in order to transfer the guide element from its rest position to the activation position.
  • the force of the pulse amplifier or the return element ensures that the guide element is held in its rest position. This will reduce the risk of accidental ignition.
  • the safety device can also be designed so that it can be operated remotely and can either be activated so that a movement of the reversing lever to establish the operative connection between the hammer and the ignition device is possible or prevented.
  • the safety device secures the reversing lever so that it cannot establish an operative connection between the striker and the ignition device.
  • the fact that the reversing lever is hindered by the fuse ensures that the hammer cannot activate the ignition element.
  • the combination of the measure of holding the guide element in the rest position, possibly via a pulse amplifier, and the fuse ensures a very high level of security against unintentional ignition of the ammunition.
  • a safety drive that can in particular be remotely controlled and that can activate or deactivate the safety device.
  • the safety drive is preferably designed as a swivel magnet which can rotate or swivel the safety device as a shaft.
  • the reversing lever can be supported by a bearing.
  • a rotary movement of the reversing lever can be implemented by means of such a bearing.
  • a stop can be provided in order to limit the movement of the reversing lever.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 an embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown.
  • an impact mass 4 guided in a housing 1, which is connected on the one hand to the armature 2 of an electromagnet 3 and on the other hand to a pulse amplifier 6, which is designed here as a magnet.
  • the pulse amplifier 6 is connected to the impact mass 4 by means of a guide.
  • the pulse amplifier can interact with a housing cover 11 and exert a magnetic force on it.
  • the housing 1 can be closed by means of the housing cover 11.
  • a return element 5 is arranged between the striking mass 4 and the housing 1 and moves the striking mass 4 in the direction of the housing cover 11 into its rest position when the electromagnet 3 is switched off.
  • the impact mass 4 is mounted in the housing 1 such that it can move longitudinally.
  • the pulse amplifier 6 can hold the impact mass 4 with a defined force in the rest position, which is arranged in the direction of the housing cover 11.
  • an ignition device 8 and a deflection lever 7 are located in the housing 1.
  • the receptacle for the ignition device 8 is inserted into the housing 1 at right angles to the direction of movement of the impact mass 4 and positioned so that the force applied by the electromagnet 3 is applied to that of the pulse amplifier 6 held guide element 4 can act.
  • the impact mass 4 is separated from the housing cover 11 and set in motion.
  • the impact mass 4 acts on the reversing lever 7, which transfers the kinetic energy to the ignition device 8 and ignites the ignition device 8.
  • an impulse force increased by the holding force of the impulse amplifier 6 acts on the ignition device 8.
  • a hammer 12 is arranged on the reversing lever 7.
  • a fuse 9 is integrated into the housing 1, which can be driven by a fuse drive 10 and can perform a defined change in angle.
  • the safety device 9 is designed as a shaft and can be set in a pivoting or rotating movement by means of the safety drive 10.
  • the safety device 9 is arranged in relation to the reversing lever 7 in such a way that the possible angular movement of the reversing lever 7 can be restricted or released by pivoting the safety device 9 through a recess made in the safety device. With this restriction, the effect of the ignition device 8 is also prevented, so that striking the ignition element 8 from the hammer 12 is no longer possible.
  • the activation sequence safety drive 10, electromagnet 3 ensures the release of the ammunition with subsequent cocking and activation of the ignition device 8 when the shot is intended. An unintentional discharge of shots by vibration or shock is therefore not possible, since the system with the electromagnet 3 switched off by the fuse 9 and of the integrated return element 5 and the pulse amplifier 6 is always in a safe state or in its rest position and automatically returns to it if the electromagnet 3 fails.
  • the reversing lever is rotatably supported by a bearing 13, so that a rotating movement of the reversing lever 13 can lead to the ignition of the ignition device 8. This rotary movement can be limited by a stop 14 in order to avoid unnecessary movements of the reversing lever 7.
