Definitions
- Fuse unit for a detonator use of the fuse unit and method for activating a detonator with this fuse unit
- the invention relates to a safety unit for an igniter with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the invention further relates to a use of this security unit and a method for activating an igniter with this security unit.
- Detonators are used to initiate the active charge of various explosive devices such as explosives, bombs, rockets, mines, grenades or cartridge ammunition. In the particular case of military ammunition, there are a variety of different types of detonators that are used in different areas of application.
- One type of detonators are proximity detonators, which ignite the explosive charge when it approaches the target and which are known, for example, from EPO 129 679 and US3,839,963.
- safety units are used in military detonators, which prevent the activation of the detonator until a defined point in time after the ammunition has been fired.
- Known safety units generally include a two-stage safety mechanism, in which in a first stage a mechanical element is released by axial forces and in a second stage another element is released by rotational centrifugal forces.
- the security unit must have at least two independently functioning and functionally isolated security systems.
- At least one of these independent security systems must prevent arming after initiation (shot firing) until a defined pre-pipe security is achieved.
- the safety unit should consist of an axial safety device and a radial safety device.
- a safety unit for detonators in which a spring element is used for axial safety and a wound band is used for centrifugal force safety.
- the safety unit disclosed appears to meet the requirements of STANAG 4187.
- a disadvantage of this approach is the complexity of the structure and components, which is associated with the corresponding space consumption. This limits the space for other fuze components, particularly with small and medium caliber ammunition.
- the assembly process is time-consuming and therefore cost-intensive.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of improving the safety unit for a detonator, a use of the safety unit and a method for activating a detonator with this safety unit, and in particular to provide a safety unit for a detonator which has increased reliability, is inexpensive to produce and quick can be mounted.
- the basic principle of the invention is essentially that the axial lock is movable from an axial lock holding position into an axial lock release position, the axial lock being in a secured state when the axial lock is arranged in the axial lock holding position.
- the axial lock engages in a first holding region of the rotation element when the axial lock is in the secured state, so that the rotation element is held in the specific, first rotation element position by means of the axial lock.
- the thrust lock is in a released state when the thrust lock is placed in the thrust lock release position is.
- the axial securing device has a deformable area, the deformable area being plastically deformable by the axial force. After and / or during the deformation of the deformable area, a movement of the axial lock from the axial lock holding position to the axial lock release position is possible.
- the axial safety device By means of an axial lock designed in this way, a high level of reliability in the function of the axial lock can be achieved.
- the axial safety device During transport of the safety unit, for example in ammunition, the axial safety device remains securely in the axial safety retaining position despite the forces on the axial safety device that occur during transport. The probability that the axial lock will not come off when the ammunition is fired is still very low.
- the axial lock itself and the entire locking unit can be manufactured cheaply and installed quickly.
- the rotation element is essentially spherical.
- the deflected rotation element with the detonator arranged results in unequal center of mass positions of the rotation element relative to the security unit axis. Due to this unequal distribution, mass moments of inertia arise which enable an automatic movement of the rotating element from the first to the second rotating element position solely due to the forces on the rotating element occurring during the flight of the ammunition.
- mass moments of inertia arise which enable an automatic movement of the rotating element from the first to the second rotating element position solely due to the forces on the rotating element occurring during the flight of the ammunition.

Furthermore, the forces required to deform such an S-shaped metal strip can be calculated easily and very precisely, so that, on the one hand, the design of the axial lock is made easier and, on the other hand, the risk of a malfunction of the axial lock can be minimized.

- the production of the axial lock is further simplified in this way. Furthermore, the robustness of the axial lock is increased during use of the axial lock.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité (1) pour un allumeur (2) comprenant un élément d'allumage (3), un élément de rotation (4) comprenant une charge de détonateur (5), une sécurité axiale (6) et une sécurité de rotation (7), l'élément de rotation (4) pouvant être maintenu dans une première position d'élément de rotation spécifique (4.1) au moyen de la sécurité axiale (6), l'élément de rotation pouvant également être maintenu dans la première position d'élément de rotation spécifique (4.1) au moyen de la sécurité de rotation (7), une paroi (8) de l'élément de rotation (4) protégeant la charge de détonateur (5) dans la première position d'élément de rotation spécifique (4.1), vis-à-vis d'un allumage par l'élément d'allumage (3). La fiabilité du dispositif de sécurité est augmentée, et des coûts de production et des temps d'installation pour le dispositif de sécurité sont réduits au moyen de la sécurité axiale (6) venant en prise dans une première région de maintien (4.3) de l'élément de rotation lorsque la sécurité axiale (6) est dans un état fixé, de telle sorte que l'élément de rotation est maintenu dans la première position d'élément de rotation spécifique (4.1) au moyen de la sécurité axiale, la sécurité axiale (6) étant dans un état libéré lorsque la sécurité axiale est agencée dans la position de libération de sécurité axiale (6.2). La sécurité axiale (6) présente une région déformable (6.3), la région déformable (6.3) étant déformable plastiquement par la force axiale. Après et/ou pendant la déformation de la région déformable (6.3), un mouvement de la sécurité axiale (6) de la position de maintien de sécurité axiale (6.1) dans la position de libération de sécurité axiale (6.2) est activé.
