Definitions
- APOWER UNIT c This invention relates to a power unit of the solid propellant type and more particularly to a propellent gas generating explosive cartridge of the type designed for starting a load such as an engine or the like by producing a large volume of gas for a relatively short time.
- Gas turbines for example, such as the propulsion units of jet aircraft are engines which are not self-starting; and explosive cartridges have ben employed to supply gas at high velocity and pressure ⁇ for impingement against the blades of a rotor4 element to start u'p such turbines.
- Such4 cartridges contain an exothermically decomposable 'substance such as powder which burns without detonation, and ⁇ generates a large volume of gas rather slowly but at a relatively rapidly rising temperature and pressure.
- the powder may advantageously be a massive pellet or giant grain of particles of nitrates, chlorates or perchlorates set in an oxidizable matrix, or it may consist of a single base or double base smokeless powder or various combinations of these and any other suitable substances.
- This cartridge main charge may have its lateral or end surfaces suitably inhibited to obtain any desired'type of slow surface burning with the particular powder of the composition otherwise tailored for the task upon ignition. Burning must occcur steadily at great and mounting pressure but without equipment damaging violence or excessive fragmentation of the grain.
- the generated gas fed through suitable channels is directed by nozzles upon the rotor blades of either an auxiliary or main turbine which accelerates the rotor assembly of the main engine until it becomes self-driving.
- the cartridge isI generally cylinder housed or held as' an expendable item in asuitable breech mechanism whichrprovides a cartridge reaction chamber as a permanent structure rechargeable by insertion therein of another exo'thermically decomposable charge;
- One wall of atypical chamber has an ignition connection such as an,
- the cartridges be such as to. permit easy extraction of a spent cartridge, that burningproduce nov fouling, that sealing of the reaction chamber at the breech be effective to prevent'leakage of the generated gas and that .the charge of exposive or. other burnable gas evolving substance be firmly mounted in the chamber in reliable ignif tionrelationship with the igniter.vr
- the cartridge should perform well at extremes of temperature and pressure.
- Another object s to provide such a gas generator cartf ridge which upon expenditure ofits burning charge may be readily extracted for replacement of a fresh cartridge.
- Another object is to provide a cartridge which seats itself firmly in the breech mechanism to assure properelectrical contact and to avoid any looseness which might permit the burning grain to be shoved and broken.
- Still another advantage is the provision of gasV generator cartridge capable of performing satisfactorily over a wide temperature range including extremes of hot and cold and over a wide range of pressures particularly the extremes likely with jet aircraft.
- a further object is the provision of a cartridge struc-'- ture which may'not only be readily and economically manufactured but which also is suiciently sturdy to take rough'handling without coming apart or developingI failures of performance.
- Figure l is a longitudinal cross sectional view showing one preferred specific embodiment of the cartridge loaded into a typical breech or reaction chamber with the clear- -ances at the bottom exaggerated to between show the structure involved;
- Figure 2 is a transverse cross sectional view of the embodiment of Figure l taken on line II-II;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view showing one form of the portion of the cartridge at the igniter end wall in cross section before the cartridge is loaded into the reaction chamber.
- a power cartridge ofvsuch construction and composition as to have not only improved sturdiness over a broad range of ambient temperature but also resilience both longitudinally and transversely and adequate resistance to heat built into the cartridge case so as to assure improved reliability of ignition and sealing.
- This is achieved in great part by provision of a suitable elastomeric outer shell of proper wall thickness and of suitable protuberant configuration of one of the'end walls.
- Thev rubber case hasa thickness of from about 0.045 to about 0.125 of an inch but preferably of about 0.100 of an inch so as to have appreciable resistance to burning through while at the same time remaining capable of being stretched both longitudinally and circumferentially when fired so as to obtain-V expansion of the case at least in the side walls to put-it into snug form-fitting relationship with the inner the side walls the rubber case is undersized in length and diameter to leave sufficient clearance to avoid interference which might prevent or make difficult loading the largest cartridge into the smallest breech within manu facturing tolerances.
- Adjacent one end the elastomeric case forms the discharge end adapted to carry a closure consisting of pres sure limiting sealing diaphragm together with a gas outlet grating having a sufficiently large number of perforations therein of desired size for the necessary discharge of the working gases rdeveloped by the reaction in the chamber.
- This end of the cartridge faces the exhaust l port of the reaction chamber.
- Thek opposite end of the elasticV case is closed by a bottom wall integral with the relatively short cylindrical side walls and characterized according to this invention by a more protruding dome shapeV than a ⁇ corresponding relatively oblate recession in the bottomof the end wall of the mating part of the reaction chamber.
- An insulated electrode is positioned in the end Wall of the reaction chamber and adapted to .engage an electrical contact pin carried in the back of the dome;
- An insulated spring ground Contact is also carried by the dome.
- the elastic dome-shaped end wall also includes a number of radiallydisposed longitudinal ribs extending integrally from said end wall adjacent the roof portion thereof but falling short of the axial central or peak portion of said end wall as Well as being spaced from the cylindrical side walls so as to provide a well in the center for reception of the igniter and so as to leave no radial connection between dome and side acting in opposition to distension of each.
- These longitudinal ribs provide a stiffer but still resilient support and spacer for the propellent charge with respect to the igniter dome.
- This special construction of the ribs also provides a resilient stiffening support for the dome surrounding the more pliant peak or center of the dome at the electric contacts thereof without adversely affecting the pliability of the center. By being sloped at the end faces adjacent the propellant grain the support for the grain is only at an outer peak of each rib leaving the adjacent ignitable face of the grain exposed at least at the central portion which is closest to the igniter and most effectively ignited.
- the ribs also act as spacers for the end face of the charge.
- the elastomeric case must in any event remain sufficiently resilient for satisfactory obturation over a broad ambient temperature range of from about 75 F. to about 250 F. at least, or even to about 500 F. or higher maximum for silicones, or the like.
- Another feature of this invention lies in the resiliently loaded evanescent igniter assembly afxed to the resilient domed end of the elastomeric case.
- the assembly comprises a relatively wide flat end faced igniter contact pin for contacting the breech electrode in electric connection with one side of the electric ignition circuit and ground contact spring electrically insulated from said pin for contacting the grounded breech structure connected to the other side of the circuit.
- the igniter is encased in a receptacle of polyethylene or the like. The polyethylene merely melts and vaporizes in the flame and does not throw the pressure off by deagration.
- the pin is affixed with respect to the assembly and the domed end in either slightly projecting relationship from the end of the case as shown in Figure 1, nearly flush relationship, or in slightly recessed relationship largely as determined by the degree of projection of the electrode pin of the case.
- the resilience of the case assures reliable electric connection between cartridge and breech mechanism and compensates for most variations in the cartridge and chamber lengths and often for the pin length too.
- the contact pin of the cartridge is spring loaded outwardly and floats to always meet the mating electrode in the breech.
- the plunger type also affords ush dis tension of the case about the pin so as to minimize chances of a break or cut at this point in the rubber case.
- the igniter receptacle consists of a box with a lid detachably but dependably aflixed both at the rim and at the center to the box so that the igniter ash composition is not spilled during handling before firing.
- the box also contains an electric squib.
- a pliant member in the form of a pellicle or membrane capable of resisting the heat at least momentarily and of holding not only any pressure differential that may develop as a result of ambient changes as those due to altitude changes, for example, but also holding at least the minimal pressure for sustained gas evolution when the membrane is bulged against the steel grating during firing.
- the membrane remains unruptured at the perforations having a diameter of about fyi@ of an inch until the minimal pressure is achieved.
- the pellicle is a plastic lm which preferably is free from plasticizer and is evanescent in the presence of the fiame and develops higher strength as the temperature falls so as to automatically compensate for the higher minimal pressure needed at lower flame temperatures of operation which varies around 2,000 F.
- a polyethylene film having a thickness of about 0.004 0.010 of an inch depending upon the grade and molecular weight and preferably of about 0.006 was found especially suitable for consistent sustained ignition. Milar lm about 0.001 of an inch thick was also found suitable.
- the strength of the pellicle must be such as to resist rupture and delay escape of the gas until the minimal pressure has been reached and until the rubber case seals itself in the breech chamber.
- the propellent charge is either a pressed, extruded or cast massive pellet of cylindrical shape either surface coated in whole or part or uncoated as needed, and can be either solid or tubular. Its cylindrical surfaces can be provided with inhibitors and heat insulators where double end burning is desired. Solid spacers may be provided between the outer cylindrical surface of the grain and the inner surface of the case. Also the discharge opening of the reaction chamber may be at the same end as the igniter.
- a tubular pellet 2 is coated at surfaces 21 and 22 leaving the ends 24 and 25 opposite ribs 12, 13, 14 and 15 adjacent the tips uninhibited.
- Figure 1 shows a breech structure 100 in which is positioned a cartridge 200 illustrating a specific embodiment of this invention.
- the cartridge confining breech mechanism consists of a stationary metal receiver 101 having a closed end except for an exhaust portion 112 thereat and an internal shoulder 113 near Ythis end against which cartridge 200 is seated upon its beingloaded into the receiver.
- Thevother vone solid piece Thevother vone solid piece.
- the gas generator cartridge shown in this embodiment consists of a particular rubber case structure 1 containing a tubular shaped charge 2 of ignitable gas evolving material, an igniter assembly 3, a rupturable weather sealing closure membrane 4 and a perforated rigid metal grate 5.
- Charge 2 is a giant grain of thermally decomposable material having, for example, an outer coating 21 and an interior coating 22 on the cylindrical faces of the grain so as to leave the end faces uncoated and adapted for ignition and burning.
- This charge 2 is mounted between the annular shoulder 10 of the elastomeric cartridge case 1 and the radially extending ribs 12, 13, 1'4 and 15 extending longitudinally from the domed end wall 16 integral with the cylindrical side wall v11 of the case 1.
- the ribsA12, 13, 14, and 15 are rooted tothe ldome wall 16 but separated from the cylindrical side wall 11 so as not to impair the resiliency of the side wall 11 and end dome wall 16.
- the ribs are spaced from the central axis and in part at the base are joined to an annular flange 17 which with the ribs defines an igniter case well 17 adjacent the peak 18 of dome wall 16 for receiving the igniter assembly 3.
- the ends of ribs 12, 13, 14, and facing the giant tubular grain 2 are slanted away from the'grain endjthe nearer the axis so ⁇ as to leave a wedge-shaped space 19 between each rib and the adjacent end face of grain 2 largest near the igniter for more complete access and resultant uniform ignition of this end face upon actuation of the igniter assembly 3.
- the elastic case is provided with a circumferential groove 20 for seating the peripheral edge of a moisture proof pressure resistant, but relatively thin, membrane 4 and for seating the circumferential edge of the relatively rigid grate or screenmember 5.
- dome shape such as a parabolic one more protruding at the peak than the receding cavity in the end of reaction chamber 100 is contemplated
- the double bulge or more bulged peak 18 shown in Figure 1 is preferred as the short radius of curvature gives maximum resilience at the peak at the igniter contacts where most needed.
- Igniter assembly 3 in the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 3 consists of a polyethylene box or cup 35 closed with lid 34.
- the lid is provided with snap brim 34" about its periphery and a thick boss 50 about its small central opening 34. Snap brim 34" engages the open end of cup 35 and boss 50' is positioned about the collar button rivet end of spring retainer end 50.
- the box contains a charge 39 and an electric squib 40 connected by lead wires to terminal clips 37 and 38 which are mounted to contact the hollow contact post 51 and contact eyelet rivet 33 respectively.
- Post 51 forms a spring housing tube for pin spring 53 pushing on contact pin plunger 52 to form a contact unit consisting of parts 50, 5152 and 53, which in another embodiment may be
- This unit is electrically insulated by sleeve 36 from the other unit consisting of eyelet 33 and ground contact 31.
- One flange 33' of eyelet 33 together with the other ange 33" holds the loaded cup, electric contact units including spring contact bai 31 all together 6 ⁇ about ya perforation in the end ofthe bulge 18 at the peak of the dome 16.
- the clearances and resilience of the case 1 are such as to thrust the entire cartridge toward the igniter electrode 106 leaving some clearance between the cartridge case domed end 16 and the dished end 110 with the least if any, clearance adjacent the electrode and the surrounding area, as shown diagrammatically at line 16' and exaggerated at 16.
- This avoids any jamming of the largest cartridge with the smallest breech ⁇ and still assures good ignition contact between pin 32 and electrode 106 and between ground 31 and wall 110, with thesmallest, i.e., shortest cartridge in the largest breech.
- the dome 'peak can at least during maximum pressure be put ilush'with dished end 110 about its elec-A trode 106 which is the best condition. This is true whether the dome 16 has a generating radius smaller than that of dished end 110, or the shape is more parabolic or has the central more resilient bulge 18, the latter of which ispreferred.
- squib 40 sets off igniter charge 39 to completely disintegrate lid 34 and cup 35 and commence ignition of faces 2.4 and 25 of grain 2 with concomitant bulging of membrane 4, side walls 11 and dome 16 to more nearly at least the position shown diagrammatically by line 16" and normally even into full engagement with dished end 110.
- burning of the propellent charge and the resultant gas generation continues at a steady pace and at the desired energy level.
- the breech lid 102 may be lifted off part 101 at 4any time for easy removal of the remaining parts of the case 200 in onepece due to resilience and other factors and if desired replacement of an unspent cartridge.
