Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object a new device for feeding and loading an explosion generator of the type described in US. Patent 3,368,641 with explosive charges, this device offering the advantages of being of very simple design and easy to build.
  • This device essentially includes a magazine for explosive cartridges, this magazine being provided with an inclined slide terminated by a stop, for guiding and supporting the cartridge heads, a mechanism for releasing the cartridges from the stop by pushing these cartridges upwards, this slide being so positioned with respect to the loading tube, that a cartridge which has been released is located in the extension of the central aperture of a charger body surmounting the tube, this charger body being provided with a watertight gate With a device for simultaneously actuating this gate the device for releasing the cartridges, and a device supplying an injection of water under pressure to push the cartridges toward the bottom of the charging tube.
  • the feeding and loading device is constituted by the following elements: a charger body 2 surmounting a loading tube 1 and including an internal channel 2a in the extension of the internal channel 1a of the tube.
  • the latter includes at the upper part of the channel 2a a circular housing wherein is located a joint provided with lips 5 made of a resilient material.
  • the charger body 2 may be closed at its upper part by means of a gate 7 provided with an element 6 of frusto-conical shape, providing for tightness by cooperating with the joint 5 when the gate 7 is closed.
  • This gate is secured at one end thereof to the shaft 8 provided with a control handle 10 which is integral therewith and which has one end connected with the charger body 2 by means of a spring 11.
  • the free end of the gate 7 is provided with a roller 9 with which a lock 12 comes into engagement for closing the gate.
  • This lock is secured to a shaft 13 provided with a lever 14 which is integral therewith and which has one end linked to the piston rod of a pneumatic jack 15.
  • the feeding and loading device further includes an inclined cartridge magazine 22 provided at the upper part thereof with an inclined slide 23, only one of two parallel plates being shown which form a slot for receiving the cartridges, the plates supporting the enlarged heads of cartridges 24.
  • cartridges are slipped through an open end of the magazine, the latter being placed in a substantially vertical position and in such a way that its other end, which is equally open, is positioned above the channel 2a when the gate 7 is open.
  • the heads of the cartridges 24 are in the shape of truncated cones.
  • the slide 23 is provided with a stop 23a near the outlet end of the magazine.
  • the nose of the cartridges i.e., the end thereof opposite the head which is sup ported by the slide 23) is free and not in contact with the lower wall of the magazine.
  • the device according to the invention is equally provided with a system for automatically distributing the cartridges from the magazine to the body of the charger 2, this system including a rocking element 21, such as for example a cam of cylindrical shape provided with a slot 21a.
  • This rocking element is integral with a shaft 20 to which one end of a level 17 is freely linked. The other end of this level is linked to one end of a connectingrod 16 having its other end linked to the lever 10, near the end thereof which is connected to the spring 11.
  • the movement of the rocking element 21 is controlled by a lever 18 having one end secured to the shaft 20 and the other end connected with the lever 17 by means of a spring 19.
  • the operation is synchronism of the different elements of the device is performed by a control circuit includ ing a tank of air under pressure 25 feeding the different branches of the circuit, a manipulator 26 controlling the action of the distributor 27 for the passage of the air towards the valve 4, this air flowing to the distributor 27 through push-rod distributors 33 and 34, which are respectively actuated by the levers 10 and 14, the valve 4 controlling the inlet of water under pressure towards the channels 2a, 1a, a push-rod distributor 28 controlling the passage of air for actuating a four-ways distributor 29 which controls the distribution of water under pressure for raising the piston of the jack 15 and for lowering this piston, through a push-rod distributor 32 actuated by the lever 14, an adjustable flow reducer 31 and a delay-valve 30.
  • the distributor 32 which is directly fed from the tank 25, is in position of closure and does not let air flow to the distributor 29.
  • the manipulator 26 is operated so as to place the slide 27 in position of closure of the valve circuit.
  • valve 4 Air does not come any longer to the valve 4, the latter is closed by means of a return spring and the circuit of water feeding the channel 3 is interrupted.
  • valve 4 When the valve 4 is in its position of closure, it feeds the distributor 28, letting a free passage to the air which controls the actuation of the four-way distributor 29. The latter comes into its open position for the passage of the air which flows directly from the tank 25 and feeds the lower part of the cylinder of the jack 15 which is hinged in 15a at its bottom.
  • the piston of the jack 15 begins to rise, the valve 4 being still closed and the upper part of the jack cylinder being connected with the outlet through the distributor 29.
  • This piston having its end articulated at one end of the lever 14 causes the displacement of this lever resulting in the rotation of the shaft 13 and in the opening of the lock 12 which is integral therewith.
  • the piston of the jack is at the end of its stroke at the upper part of the jack, the lever 14 actuates the push-rod of the distributor 32 so that the air under pressure feeds the upper part of the jack for the lowering of the piston, through an adjustable flow reducer 31, a delay valve 30 and the distributor 29, the lower part of the cylinder of the jack being then connected wtih the outlet through the distributor 29.
  • the gate 7 is closed by means of the shaft 8.
  • the levers 17 and 18 simultaneously pivot in opposite directions back to their respective initial positions.
  • the rocking element 21 takes back its initial position, driven by the shaft along with the movement of the lever 18.
  • the piston of the jack continues to move downwardly driving in rotation by means of the lever 14 the shaft 13 and the lock 12 which closes the door 7.
  • a device for supplying and loading explosive cartridges in an explosion generator having a loading tube, with the cartridges having a cylindrical tubular body provided at one end thereof with a widened head and at the other end thereof with a nose portion comprising: magazine means for storing a plurality of the explosive cartridges and including an inclined slide bar terminating in a stop for engaging the cartridge heads and supporting the cartridges parallel in a row; said slide bar being mounted with respect to the loading tube so that a cartridge disengaged from said stop is in alignment with for dropping into the loading tube; said loading tube having a breech means for selectively opening and closing the end of said tubular body adjacent said slide bar; means for injecting water under pressure laterally through said tubular body between said breech means and a loaded cartridge in said body only when said breech means is closed to push the loaded cartridge in said loading tube away from said breech means, and said injecting means including valve means for controlling the supply of Water; means for serially disengaging the cartridges from the stop by upwardly pushing the cartridges out of engagement with
  • said disengaging means includes a cam rotatably mounted to engage the nose portion of only the explosive cartridge engaging said stop.
  • control means includes a fluid operated expansible chamber means providing the motive power for each of said breech means and said disengaging means.
  • control means includes a fluid operated expansible chamber means providing the motive power for each of said breech means and said disengaging means.
