The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to me of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to ordnance fuzes, and more particularly, to a fuze arming system that is adapted to function when a projectile mounting this system is red from the launcher for which it was designed.
Uusual safety devices employed in fuzing systems for ordnance projectiles integrate acceleration; they arm the fuze in response to projectile acceleration of sucient amplitude that continues for a suicient time. Because accidental dropping or the like may be suflicient to cause such a device to arm, such devices are often supplemented with auxiliary means for intentional arming. The latter may take the form 0f a pull-pin or other well-known device, that must be manually released or removed before the projectile is placed in the launcher for ring.
Such secondary safety means have certain disadvantages. They are expensive and diicult to manufacture. They make it dimcult to seal the projectile effectively against moisture. They may give projectile handlers an unwarranted feeling of security.
The object of this invention is to provide an arming system that cannot arm in response to accidental acceleration but that will arm automatically in response to firing from a proper launcher.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a dual function arming system that is inexpensive, relatively simple to manufacture, adapted to proper projectile sealing, and superior in performance and inherent safeness.
A further object is a fuze arming system that responds to mutually independent energy sources.
Briefly, the present invention may be characterized by a circuit having a coil-magnet assembly that is adapted to generate an energy pulse on leaving a projectile launcher barrel. Simultaneously therewith, or prior thereto, an acceleration responsive device in the circuit will function to close the circuit, thus enabling the energy pulse to tire a pyrotechnic explosive motor or other electrically initiated device such as a relay. This electrically initiated device moves a detonator from a safe to an armed position.
The specic nature of the invention, as well as other objects, uses, and advantages thereof, will clearly appear from the following description and from the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE l is a partial longitudinal sectional view of a portion of a projectile having the fuzing system of the present invention in its `corresponding launcher barrel.
FIGURE 2 is similar to FIGURE l but shows the projectile leaving the launcher barrel druing proper launching.
FIGURE 3 is a partially schematic and sectional view showing the essential functional components of the invention.
Referring to FIGURE 1 of the drawing, a projectile launcher barrel is illustrated as containing its properly received projectile or round of ammunition 12. Barrel 10 may be conventionally fabricated and constitute part of a conventional launcher.
be a rocket, mortar, artillery round, or a guided missile for the purposes of this invention, but these are by far not exhaustive of the types that may be suitable.
For purposes of the detailed description contained herein and in no sense limiting in nature, projectile d2 is shown as having a rocket configuration. Thus, the rocket head 14, which encases a suitable explosive charge, may have the usual attached nose portion 16 and tail 18. Nose 16 may mount a conventional contact fuze, time fuze or the like to intiate detonation of the contained explosive in head 14. However, as shown in FIGURE 2 a conventional fuze 20, which may be either electrical or mechanical or a combination of both, may be located adjacent the tail end of rocket head 14. Tail 18 may contain the conventional propellant charge and `1n assembly (not shown).
The fuze arming system of this invention is shown more clearly in FIGURE 3. A plurality of coil-magnet assemblies 22 are preferably disposed on that portion of projectile 12 that presents the largest or slightly less than the largest external diameter to the bore of barrel 10 (FIGURE l). Assembly 22 may comprise a substantially cup-shaped magnet 24 having an open end 26 and closed end 28. Extending from closed end 28 either integrally formed therewith or attached thereto and coaxial with magnet 24 is solid shaft or rod 30, which is also magnetic. The free end of shaft 30 terminates at or near open end 25 of magnet 24. Both magnet 24 and magnetic shaft 30 may be permanent magnets but are not restricted to this type as will be evident to those skilled in the art. Suitably Wound about each shaft 30l are coils 32 which are effectively located to be cut by the line of magnetic flux set -up by magnets 24 and 30.
An inertia switch 46 of any of the conventional varities maybe interposed electrically in series with motor 34 and coils 32. Switch 46 is designed to remain closed, as for example, against the force of a spring, until the coil-magnet assemblies 22 have passed the open end 48 of the launcher barrel 10. Similar to conventional inertia switches, switch 46 must have been `subjected to an acceleration for a certain time before it will close. Consequently, a safeguard is provided against accidental magnetic pickup that can produce undesirable results.
As the coil-magnet assembly 22 passes the end 48 of the launcher barrel 10, a voltage is produced in the arming system of FIGURE 3 because of the change in pattern of the magnetic iux field as is evidenced by contrast of the magnetic ields illustrated in FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2. This voltage is of such a magnitude, depending upon the number of coil-magnet assemblies 22, that it will fire or initiate the pyrotechnic material 36 of explosive motor 34. The heat generated by material 36 is sufficient to melt the low-melting solder 42 land that solder securing plate 44 to casing 38. Thus, the spring 40 is now free to extend to its unbiased state, and consequently, displace plate 44 from casing 38. Plate 44 may be secured to a mechanical interlock 50, that may be in the form of a rotatable lever, as by soldering, Welding, or mechanical fastening. Initially, interlock 50 may be positioned to prevent rotor 52 from moving, as by abutting against a protruding boss 54 of rotor 52. However, when interlock 50 is displaced by 3, plate 44, this abutment ceases to exist. Now the rotor may move, as for example, under influence of a spring, to place a detonator (not shown), carried by rotor 52, in line with the functional mechanism of fuze 20 to be in a position to detonate the explosive of rocket head 14. Thus, fuze arming has been safely and eiiciently attained.
It will be apparent that the embodiment shown is only exemplary and that various modifications can be made in construction and arrangement within the scope of the linvention as defined in the appended claim.
