Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気エネルギーを用いた破壊装置および破壊方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、図5の平面図に示すように、金属細線などの溶融気化物質50に対し所定量の電気エネルギーを付与して溶融気化させ、その際に発生する衝撃力Fで被破壊物51を破壊するようにした破壊装置がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、被破壊物51が砂中に埋設されていたり、水中に浮遊している場合には、被破壊物51の場所は不安定でり、上記従来の破壊装置の溶融気化物質50を溶融気化させて衝撃力Fを発生させても、図6および図7の平面図に示すように、その衝撃力Fによって被破壊物51が移動してしまい、衝撃力Fが十分に伝えられず、破壊できない場合があった。
【0004】
そこで、本発明は、上記課題を解決し得る破壊装置および破壊方法の提供を目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明における課題解決手段は、埋設されまたは浮遊するため、衝撃力を受けると移動して当該衝撃力を充分に伝えることができない被破壊物に、衝撃力を付与して破壊する破壊装置であって、
被破壊物の外側に配置されるとともに所定量の電気エネルギーが供給されることで急激に気化して体積膨張する気化物質が充填された破壊容器と、
被破壊物および当該被破壊物の外側に配置される上記破壊容器とを包囲して、気化物質を体積膨張させた際に被破壊物の移動を阻止する筒状の移動阻止部材
を具備したものである。
また、上記構成において、破壊容器が移動阻止部材の内面に予め固定されたものである。
【0006】
上記構成において、被破壊物および当該被破壊物の外側に配置される前記破壊容器を筒状の移動阻止部材で包囲した状態で、気化物質に所定量の電気エネルギーを供給しこれを気化させることで体積膨張させて、その際の衝撃力で被破壊物を移動させることなく破壊する。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。まず、本発明の実施の第一形態に係る破壊装置を、図1の平面図および図2の断面図に基づいて説明する。
【0008】
本発明の実施の第一形態に係る破壊装置1は、砂2中に埋設された被破壊物Gを破壊するのに適し、砂2中に埋設する破壊プローブ3と、後述の金属細線4に対して所定量の電気エネルギーを供給するためのエネルギー供給回路(図示せず)とを備えている。前記破壊プローブ3は、砂2中に埋め込む破壊容器5と、この破壊容器5内に挿入された前記金属細線(溶融して気化する気化物質の一例)4と、この金属細線4によって接続されるとともに蓋部材5aに挿通した一対の電極6と、破壊容器5に充填されて金属細線4が溶融気化することでその体積膨張力を外方に向けて伝達するための破壊用物質(水、油あるいはニトロメタン等の爆発性の物質が用いられる)7とから構成され、前記電極6間に前記エネルギー供給回路が接続されている。
【0009】
また、本発明の実施の形態に係る破壊装置1は、破壊容器5と被破壊物Gとを包囲して、金属細線4を体積膨張させた際に被破壊物Gの移動を阻止する筒状(上下側開放)の金属製の移動阻止部材8が設けられている。この移動阻止部材8の径D1は、被破壊物Gの大きさLおよび破壊容器5の径D2から設定され、被破壊物Gと破壊容器5を抱き合わせた際に、両者をしっくりと包囲する径に形成されている。
【0010】
上記破壊装置1を用いて被破壊物Gを破壊する方法を説明する。被破壊物Gの大きさL、破壊容器5の径D2から移動阻止部材8の径D1を設定して形成し、被破壊物Gに破壊プローブ3を抱き合わせるように砂2中に移動阻止部材8を押し込むように埋める。これにより、この破壊容器5と被破壊物Gとが移動阻止部材8によって周方向で包囲された状態となる。
【0011】
この状態で、エネルギー供給回路から金属細線4に対して所定量の電気エネルギー(例えば6500V)を供給すると、金属細線4および破壊用物質7が急激に溶融気化して膨張し、金属細線4の膨張力が破壊用物質7で外方に伝達されて衝撃力が発生し、この衝撃力が被破壊物Gに働く。このとき、被破壊物Gは砂2中にあって不安定な状態であっても、被破壊物Gは移動阻止部材8によって移動が阻止されているので、発生した衝撃力によって移動を抑えられ、従って、被破壊物Gが確実に破壊される。
【0012】
次に、本発明の実施の第二形態を、図3の平面図および図4の断面図に基づいて説明する。本発明の実施の第二形態に係る破壊装置1は、破壊プローブ3が対で設けられ、各破壊プローブ3の金属細線4に対して所定量の電気エネルギーを供給するためのエネルギー供給回路が設けられたものである。また、本発明の実施の第二形態における各破壊容器5は、金属製の移動阻止部材8の内面の両側に溶接、あるいは合成樹脂性の移動阻止部材8の内面の両側に接着され、各破壊容器5間が被破壊物Gを挟持する挟持用スペースとされている。
【0013】
本発明の実施の第二形態における破壊装置1を用いて被破壊物Gを破壊する方法を説明する。被破壊物Gの大きさL、破壊容器5の径D2から移動阻止部材8の径D1を設定して形成し、各破壊容器5を移動阻止部材8の内面の両側に固定する。続いて、各破壊容器5間に被破壊物Gが挟持されるよう、移動阻止部材8を砂2中に埋め込み、上記実施の第一形態と同様に、エネルギー供給回路から所定量の電気エネルギーを金属細線4に対して供給する。
【0014】
そうすると、金属細線4および破壊用物質7が急激に溶融気化して膨張し、金属細線4の膨張力が破壊用物質7で外方に伝達されて衝撃力が発生し、この衝撃力が被破壊物Gに両側から働く。このとき、被破壊物Gは砂2中にあって不安定な状態であっても、被破壊物Gは両破壊容器5を介して移動阻止部材8によって移動が阻止されているので、発生した衝撃力によって移動を抑えられ、また、被破壊物Gの両側の破壊プローブ3によって強い衝撃力が得られ、被破壊物Gが確実に破壊される。
【0015】
なお、上記各実施の形態では、被破壊物Gとして、砂2中に埋設されたものの例を示したがこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば海中あるいは海上に浮遊するブイ、古い船体などの被破壊物Gを破壊する場合にも適用でき、海中であれば、破壊容器5を上下開放の筒状に形成し、金属細線4の代わりに電解液である海水(気化物質)をそのまま用い、電極6間に所定量の電気エネルギーをエネルギー供給回路から供給してギャップ放電させ、これにより破壊容器5内の海水を気化させ、その際の気化膨張に伴う衝撃力で被破壊物Gを破壊することもできる。この場合も、被破壊物Gは、移動阻止部材8によって移動が阻止されているので、発生した衝撃力によって移動を抑えられ、従って、被破壊物Gが確実に破壊される。
【0016】
また、上記各実施の形態では、溶融して気化する気化物質の一例として金属細線4を用いたがこれに限定されるものではなく、金属片やカーボンを用いてもよく、この場合も上記各実施の形態と同様の作用効果を奏し得る。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかな通り、本発明は、埋設されまたは浮遊するため、衝撃力を受けると移動して当該衝撃力を充分に伝えることができない被破壊物に、当該被破壊物の外側に配置されるとともに所定量の電気エネルギーが供給されることで急激に気化して体積膨張する気化物質が充填された破壊容器により、衝撃力を付与して破壊する装置または方法であって、所定量の電気エネルギーが供給されることで急激に気化して体積膨張する気化物質が破壊容器に充填され、この破壊容器と被破壊物とを包囲して、気化物質を体積膨張させた際に被破壊物の移動を阻止する筒状の移動阻止部材が設けられているので、衝撃力を発生させる気化物質が充填された破壊容器と被破壊物とを筒状の移動阻止部材で包囲した状態で、前記気化物質に所定量の電気エネルギーを供給しこれを気化させることで体積膨張させて、その際の衝撃力で被破壊物を移動させることなく確実に破壊することができる。

[0006]
In the above configuration, a predetermined amount of electric energy is supplied to the vaporized substance and vaporized in a state where the destruction object and the destruction container disposed outside the destruction object are surrounded by a cylindrical movement prevention member. In this case, the object is destroyed without being moved by the impact force at that time.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a destructive device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on a plan view of FIG. 1 and a cross-sectional view of FIG.
[0008]
The destructive device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is suitable for destroying an object G embedded in sand 2, and includes a destructive probe 3 embedded in sand 2 and a metal thin wire 4 described later. An energy supply circuit (not shown) for supplying a predetermined amount of electric energy is provided. The destruction probe 3 is connected to the destruction container 5 embedded in the sand 2, the thin metal wire (an example of a vaporized substance that is melted and vaporized) 4 inserted into the destruction container 5, and the thin metal wire 4. In addition, a pair of electrodes 6 inserted through the lid member 5a, and a destruction substance (water, oil) filled in the destruction container 5 to transmit the volume expansion force outwardly when the fine metal wire 4 is melted and vaporized. Alternatively, an explosive substance such as nitromethane is used) 7, and the energy supply circuit is connected between the electrodes 6.
[0009]
Moreover, the destruction apparatus 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention surrounds the destruction container 5 and the to-be-destructed object G, and prevents the movement of the to-be-destructed object G when the metal thin wire 4 is volume-expanded. A metal movement preventing member 8 (upper and lower sides open) is provided. The diameter D1 of the movement preventing member 8 is set based on the size L of the destruction object G and the diameter D2 of the destruction container 5, and when the destruction object G and the destruction container 5 are tangled together, the diameter of the movement prevention member 8 surrounds both. Is formed.
[0010]
A method of destroying the destruction object G using the destruction apparatus 1 will be described. The movement blocking member is formed in the sand 2 so as to tie the destruction probe 3 to the destruction object G by setting the diameter D1 of the movement prevention member 8 from the size L of the destruction object G and the diameter D2 of the destruction container 5. Fill in as if pushing 8 in. Thereby, this destruction container 5 and the to-be-destructed object G will be in the state surrounded by the movement prevention member 8 in the circumferential direction.
[0011]
In this state, when a predetermined amount of electrical energy (for example, 6500 V) is supplied from the energy supply circuit to the fine metal wires 4, the fine metal wires 4 and the destructive substance 7 are rapidly melted and vaporized and expanded. The force is transmitted outward by the destructive material 7 to generate an impact force, and this impact force acts on the object G to be destroyed. At this time, even if the to-be-destructed object G is in the sand 2 and is in an unstable state, the to-be-destructed object G is prevented from moving by the movement-preventing member 8, so that the movement can be suppressed by the generated impact force. Therefore, the to-be-destructed object G is destroyed reliably.
[0012]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the plan view of FIG. 3 and the sectional view of FIG. The destruction device 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is provided with a pair of destruction probes 3 and an energy supply circuit for supplying a predetermined amount of electric energy to the fine metal wires 4 of each destruction probe 3. It is what was done. In addition, each destruction container 5 in the second embodiment of the present invention is welded to both sides of the inner surface of the metal movement prevention member 8 or bonded to both sides of the inner surface of the synthetic resin movement prevention member 8, and each destruction The space between the containers 5 is a holding space for holding the object G to be destroyed.
[0013]
The method of destroying the to-be-destructed object G using the destruction apparatus 1 in 2nd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The diameter D1 of the movement preventing member 8 is set from the size L of the destruction target G and the diameter D2 of the destruction container 5, and each destruction container 5 is fixed to both sides of the inner surface of the movement preventing member 8. Subsequently, the movement preventing member 8 is embedded in the sand 2 so that the destruction object G is sandwiched between the respective destruction containers 5, and a predetermined amount of electric energy is supplied from the energy supply circuit in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Supply to the fine metal wire 4.
[0014]
Then, the fine metal wire 4 and the breaking material 7 are rapidly melted and vaporized and expanded, and the expansion force of the fine metal wire 4 is transmitted outward by the breaking material 7 to generate an impact force. This impact force is destroyed. Work on object G from both sides. At this time, even though the destruction object G is in the sand 2 and is in an unstable state, the destruction object G is generated because the movement prevention member 8 is prevented from moving through the both destruction containers 5. Movement is suppressed by the impact force, and a strong impact force is obtained by the destruction probes 3 on both sides of the destruction object G, so that the destruction object G is reliably destroyed.
[0015]
In each of the above embodiments, the example of the object G to be destroyed is embedded in the sand 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a buoy floating in the sea or on the sea, an old hull, etc. It can also be applied to destroying the object G to be destroyed. If it is in the sea, the destruction container 5 is formed in a vertically open cylindrical shape, and the seawater (vaporizing substance) that is an electrolytic solution is used as it is instead of the thin metal wire 4, A predetermined amount of electric energy is supplied from the energy supply circuit between the electrodes 6 to cause gap discharge, whereby the seawater in the destruction container 5 is vaporized, and the object G is destroyed by the impact force associated with the vaporization expansion at that time. You can also. Also in this case, since the movement of the destructible object G is blocked by the movement blocking member 8, the movement is suppressed by the generated impact force, and therefore the destructible object G is reliably destroyed.
[0016]
Further, in each of the above embodiments, the metal thin wire 4 is used as an example of a vaporizing substance that is melted and vaporized. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a metal piece or carbon may be used. The same effects as the embodiment can be obtained.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the present invention is arranged outside the destruction object because it is buried or floated, so that it moves when receiving an impact force and cannot sufficiently transmit the impact force. A device or method for applying an impact force to a destruction container filled with a vaporizing substance that rapidly vaporizes and expands in volume by being supplied with a predetermined amount of electrical energy . When the electric energy is supplied, the vaporized substance that rapidly vaporizes and expands in volume is filled in the destruction container, surrounds the destruction container and the object to be destroyed, and when the vaporized substance is expanded in volume, the object to be destroyed since cylindrical movement hampering member for preventing the movement of the is provided, with the vapors of generating impact force is surrounded by a cylindrical movement hampering member and the breaking container and the debris filled, the Specified as vaporized substance Supplying this electrical energy by volume expansion by vaporization of, it can be reliably destroyed without moving the object to be debris in impact force at that time.
