Ammunition module, warhead and ammunition

The invention relates to an ammunition module, a warhead with a

Ammunition module and ammunition with a warhead.

The ammunition in question requires explosives and an igniter. From "Diehl Defense, Insensitive Infantry Ammunition 40mm x 53 High Velocity, http: //

www.diehl.com / fileadmin / diehl-defense / user_upload / flyer / Patronen_40_ mm _x_53.pdf "is known, for example, for the" Sprengsplitter DM121 IM "cartridge type, which contains the warhead that ignites the detonator and the immediate explosive brings to implementation.

The object of the invention is to improve ammunition.

The object is achieved by an ammunition module according to claim 1.

Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention and others

Categories of the invention will become apparent from the further claims, the following description and the accompanying drawings.

The ammunition module contains an explosive device, i. Explosive in a specific geometric or spatial arrangement or distribution. The

Ammunition module contains a detonator. The explosive device or the explosive is ignited by the igniter. The fuze is arranged or aligned relative to the explosive device such that it in case of ignition on a

Ignition point ignites. The ignition point is thus a specific location of

Explosive device, where it is ignited by the igniter. The ignition point is positioned at a location within an envelope of the explosive device, ie, not at the surface of the envelope. The place is from the detonator away. The envelope contains all the explosives and also gaps,

Indentations, recesses in the explosive device. It is a flat or convex surface in all places. It is also possible that it runs concavely at least in some places, e.g. at Kerbladungen in the shell.

In an initial state, an ignition channel extends from the igniter to the ignition point. The ignition channel is surrounded by at least part of the explosive device. The ignition channel is formed as a channel which is open in the initial state. Of the

Initial state is a state before the start of ignition of the ammunition module or the explosive. In an explosive state, which after the ignition of the

Explosive sets, the channel is self-sealing. In particular, "sealing" means closing or sealing at least part of the ignition channel. "Self-sealing" means that the seal of the ignition channel after the

Ignition automatically or inevitably occurs through the implementation of the explosive. Before the ignition of the ignition channel is so open, after ignition is the

Channel sealed, so at least partially closed. The detonation of the explosive by the detonator takes place either directly (the detonator ignites the

Explosive device) or indirectly (the igniter ignites an ignition transformer, the ignition transformer ignites the explosive device). "Within the envelope" means that the ignition point does not point to the particular of the igniter

Surface of an envelope of the explosive device is, but (especially deep) in the interior of the envelope, in particular in the region of the geometric center or in a region opposite the igniter beyond the middle of the

Explosives arrangement. The explosive state is in particular that when a part of the explosive is already implemented, a part not yet. Then one is

Ammunition shell usually stretched, but still tight, so that a pressure build-up inside the ammunition is still in progress. This pressure build-up is used in particular for sealing the ignition channel. The invention is based on the observation that a warhead z. B. over a

Head detonator is ignited, which brings the explosive immediately to the implementation. So there is only a small effect in the Aufschlagrichtung z. B. a grenade. By using a self-sealing ignition channel within the

Warhead is realized one ignition point away from the detonator side. This ignition channel avoids the loss of power by igniting the ignition

Warhead becomes self-sealing and prevents the escape of explosive swaths. Swaths occur in the implementation of explosives in solid too Gas. The energy serves to accelerate the active charge. Due to the self-sealing ignition channel, an optimal ignition point of the warhead can be selected without being affected by significant pressure loss in the

Warhead implementation losing power. According to the invention, it is possible to ignite a warhead arbitrarily can expect without a premature emergence of the explosion swaths a power dip. The invention allows to implement this without having to resort to inline ignition means such. B. EFIs (Exploding Foil Initiator, which still have to be electrically ignited with high energy). According to the invention, the ignition can be implemented without electrical energy. According to the invention, an effect in igniter direction (in particular splinter effect, no hollow charge) can be at

Reach the warhead without using an SAD (Safety and Arming Device) outside the detonator. In a preferred embodiment, the ignition channel is at least partially closed or sealed in the blasting state by at least one sealing element. The sealing element is by the at least partially reacted explosive

(In particular its pressure effect) introduced into the ignition channel. The

Sealing element is thus a means for sealing or at least partially

Closing the ignition channel or a (igniter-side) Zündkanalöffnung. By a corresponding sealing element, the ignition channel can be sealed or closed particularly effective. The sealing element may be multi-part or more

Sealing elements may be present in the ammunition module or combined, each causing a sealing of the ignition channel or the elements for

Seal together.

In a preferred variant of this embodiment, the sealing element is formed by a body which has an initial shape in the initial state. In the explosive state, the body is deformed into a closure shape. At least part of the deformed body is the sealing element. Alternatively or additionally, the body is in the

Initial state not in the ignition channel and is - in output form or in

Closure shape or an intermediate state - introduced by the at least partially reacted explosive in the ignition channel to seal it. The body can thus be brought into the ignition channel through the at least partially reacted explosive, so that there at least part of the body in undeformed or other form forms the sealing element. Thus, in the ammunition module, therefore, a sealing element in the form of a body can be held, which then is spent by the implementation of the explosive in the ignition channel to seal it. Thus, a particularly effective and simple sealing of the ignition channel is possible. In a preferred variant of this embodiment, the body is in the

Starting form a surrounding the ignition channel envelope. The sheath is in particular a sleeve, a tube or a lining of the ignition channel, z. B. in the form of a

Circular cylinder jacket. Since the shell surrounds the ignition channel and the ignition channel is in turn surrounded by explosives, the implementation of the explosive leads to a

Compression of the shell and thus to a deformation of the body to

Sealing element. This achieves a particularly simple and effective sealing of the ignition channel.

In a preferred variant of this embodiment, the body is a metal body. In the case of an explosive effect, metal behaves like a liquid and can therefore be deformed particularly easily. The metal is in particular a relatively soft metal, for. B. copper.

In a preferred embodiment, the ignition channel in the initial state is an unfilled cavity. The cavity is therefore filled only with air or a protective gas o. Ä., But unfilled with respect to other materials. Such a firing channel is particularly suitable for use with flyer-forming detonators, the

Firing channel is then the flight channel for the flyer from the detonator to the ignition point.

In a preferred variant of this embodiment, the igniter is therefore a flyer-forming booster igniter. The ignition channel is then a flyer channel. At the opposite end of the igniter ignition channel then an ignition transformer for igniting the explosive device is arranged. When ignition so the flyer passes through the unfilled cavity of the ignition channel to the ignition transformer to ignite this, the ignition transformer is used to ignite the explosive. Such an arrangement is particularly easy to implement, since in particular "long" dimensioned ignition can be realized, and so the ignition point in the

Explosives arrangement particularly "deep, so far away from the fuze is selectable.

In an alternative embodiment, the firing channel in the initial state is not an empty cavity, but contains a pyrotechnic material. The

Pyrotechnics material is after the ignition of the explosive device in a Residual material implemented. The pyrotechnic material in particular allows the ignition to be transmitted from the igniter to the ignition point.

In a preferred variant of this embodiment, the sealing element is formed by at least a part of the residual material. In particular, z. B. a

Sealing element in a compressed metal tube, which is then combined with the residual material as a further sealing filling to achieve a particularly effective sealing of the ignition channel.

In a preferred embodiment, the residual material is slag. Slag is particularly suitable for forming a corresponding sealing element.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a warhead according to

Claim 11. The warhead contains an ammunition module with an igniter and with an explosive device ignitable by the igniter. The warhead also contains a seizure that at least partially surrounds the explosive device. The active assignment can be accelerated by the converted explosive. The ammunition module is an ammunition module according to the invention. The detonator is especially a detonator. The warhead and at least part of its embodiments as well as the respective advantages were already in the spirit of

Explained connection with the ammunition module according to the invention. This results in an ammunition, the effect assignment is accelerated by the sealed ignition channel in the igniter direction. In the case of a Kopfzünders this z. B. an existing in flight or Aufschlagrichtung ammunition effect.

In a preferred embodiment, the active assignment is a splitter assignment. So can be particularly effective warheads with splinter effect in

Establish fuse direction.

In a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the effective assignment is attached to the igniter facing side of the explosive device. Thanks to the invention, this active assignment is accelerated sufficiently to develop effect (in igniter direction). This is especially true - from the

Explosives arrangement seen from - in the igniter direction a desired

Achieve warhead effect with the help of the active occupancy. Thus, in particular, a head-side effect, in particular fragmentation effect, can be achieved in the direction of impact of a warhead with a head detonator. The object of the invention is also achieved by an ammunition according to claim 14. The ammunition contains a warhead and an impact fuze. The warhead is a warhead according to the invention. The detonator of the warhead is the impact fuze. The ammunition and at least part of their embodiments and the respective advantages have been explained analogously already in connection with the warhead and the ammunition module according to the invention. Above all, this results in ammunition with effect in Aufschlagrichtung.

The object of the invention is also achieved by an ammunition in the form of an air-burst ammunition (Air-Burst: air-blasting point), with a warhead, wherein the

Warhead is a warhead according to the invention. When warhead according to the invention an effect in the igniter direction is possible, an effect in other directions is conventionally feasible anyway. This is how Air Burst ammunition can be created with a 360-degree all-round effect. The ammunition and at least a part of their embodiments and the respective advantages were already in the spirit of

Connection with the abovementioned ammunition according to the invention, the

inventive warhead and the ammunition module according to the invention explained. The invention is based on the following findings, observations or

Considerations. The following embodiments are partly

simplifying also called "the invention". In this case, the embodiments may also contain or correspond to parts or combinations of the above-mentioned embodiments and / or possibly also not previously mentioned

Include embodiments.

The invention is based on the recognition that it is frequently the case in practice that a head detonator is used in ammunition and none in the frontal direction

sufficient effect is generated. Therefore, in the following, the

Ignition mechanism for a spherical power explained using the example of a detonator.

However, this is feasible for any type of detonator (as a rule this will be a head or tail fuse in ammunition due to rotational symmetry). The aim is to have an effect in igniter direction (in particular splinter effect, no

Hollow charge) in a warhead to achieve without igniting a

Use safety device outside the detonator. So far, the effect in the direction of the detonator was usually dispensed with (in particular in the case of classic ammunition) or significant performance losses were accepted. The invention is based on the observation that explosive is ignited immediately at the igniter side. As a result, swaths and escape

Detonation wave is spreading in the wrong direction. For example, in the known ammunition DM121 completely dispensed front splitter. The invention is based on the idea that the explosion swaths only after acceleration of

Role assignment (usually splitter) the warhead, z. As a grenade, may leave, otherwise there is a pressure and thus loss of power (in the

Energy transfer) comes. The detonation wave must propagate in the desired direction of action.

The invention is based on the idea of laying the ignition point sufficiently deep into the warhead. The solution proposed is a self-sealing ignition channel. The explosive or warhead is a channel at the end of the

Warhead (eg by an ignition transformer with the help of a flyer) is ignited. Due to the lining of the channel with a relatively soft metal (eg copper), the detonation wave in the explosive closes the channel, so that on the one hand no detonation can escape and on the other hand the detonation wave can act on all active surfaces (especially those in the direction of the detonator) , Thus, an effective effect in all directions is achieved in the desired case. The ignition channel with (metal) lining is necessary, otherwise there will be premature emergence of swaths and thus a pressure drop. The ignition principle does not necessarily require a hollow ignition channel, which must be overcome with a flyer. It is just as possible that this z. B. with a pyrotechnics o. Ä. Is filled

(so-called Schlackeversiegelung).

The invention is applicable to fragmentation grenades with "high-performance" splinters in the front area, eg a grenade against vehicles with splinters of one

Performance category, the z. B. can completely combat the interior of a pick-up. The invention is also applicable to air-burst grenades (in particular 40 mm air burst): A warhead having a spherical effective range is at a

Airborne grenade is highly desirable because it can effectively combat an area. It comes, in contrast to currently available ammunition, not to areas without performance. Compared to a warhead with

self-sealing Zündchann it comes without this design to a premature escape of the swaths and the Wirkbelegung (here splitter) can not

be accelerated accordingly. As a result, a large part of the explosion energy is no longer available for the (front) splitter. in the In contrast, the pressure chamber is still intact thanks to the self-sealing channel. The warhead still has to disassemble and the explosive energy can accelerate the splinters. The idea of the invention is therefore to achieve a frontal effect in a 40 mm warhead, which is ignited via a head detonator, without using an SAD (ignition and protection device) outside the detonator, which is technically as well as technically feasible cost , The self-sealing ignition channel realizes an ignition point away from the warhead. Splinters can also be accelerated below the detonator. The 40mm 360-degree battle tank can work with splinters in any direction, unlike previous warheads of these ammunition, which have to dispense with a performance in the direction of the igniter largely. According to the invention, a design results for a (40 mm) grenade, which allows a spherical effect. Despite the detonator targets can be fought in the direction of flight with splinters. According to the invention results in a 40 mm warhead, which should eliminate a weakness of the currently available splinter ammunition (HE and HE-PFF, High Energy Preformed Fragments). This is especially the lack of splintering effect in the front area, where the head igniter is mounted. According to the invention, uniform envelopes can be used, which are also used in other 40 mm bullets. According to the invention, spherically distributed

Splinters without angular areas that are not covered (360-degree fragmentation effect), especially in the direction of flight or impact of the grenade. The invention enables a much larger proportion of standard components, which reduces the manufacturing costs.

The 360-degree splitter range offers two advantages for the tactical deployment scenarios: Splinters in the front area can be used in particular against light and non-armored vehicles to combat the occupants. A typical scenario would be a pickup. The current ammunition in this case would deflect all construction fragments from the target object. For airborne ammunition (Air Burst ammunition) is a

360-degree splintering a great advantage, since the projectile does not impact on an object but usually converts in the air. In contrast to the warheads available so far, the warhead presented here would be in all

Slash directions and combat a significantly larger area on the battlefield per shot. This results in a much higher effect per

Shot and lower effectiveness of opposing cover. Previously had to be dispensed with the fragmentation effect in igniter direction in the 40-mm ammunition. In this regard, the starting point of the invention is the realization that 40 mm grenades dispense with the fragmentation effect in the igniter direction and so not goals in all

Can fight directions. The aim of the invention is therefore to design a 40 mm warhead, which has a 360-degree fragmentation effect, in particular a fragmentation effect in the weft direction, without changing the basic design. The explosive swaths may leave the warhead only after the acceleration of the active occupation (usually splinters), otherwise there will be a loss of pressure and thus loss of power (in the energy transfer). The detonation wave should spread in the desired direction.

According to the invention, the warhead in particular has a

Ignition transformer (eg from HNS, Hexanitrostilben) which is ignited by means of a flyer forming booster. The ignition transformer ignites the main charge. Due to the detonation wave, the flight channel of the flyer becomes self-sealing

Ignition channel closed, so that the performance of the warhead is not in

Ignition direction is lost and is available to accelerate the splitter. Splinters are accelerated in all directions away from the grenade.

Apart from a small amount of swath, which emerges from the ignition channel during the sealing, is thus up to the time immediately before the breakage of the warhead casing almost all the energy of the explosive for the

Splinter acceleration available. The invention is particularly useful for a 40mm 360 degree fragmentation warhead for HE-PFF ammunition with impact fuze. In this case, the splinters in the front area should fight the target on which they hit. The invention may also be used for a 40 mm 360 degree fragmentation warhead for HE-PFF ammunition with air-burst ammunition.

The invention is based on the finding that currently dispense the 40 mm warhead on significant fragmentation effect in igniter direction.

According to the invention, therefore, the blasting point in an explosive device (in particular ignited by the detonator) "moved to the rear" or in the middle, in any case, he does not remain "front". The explosive is released by a pressure wave. The pressure wave then spreads "forward".

According to the invention thus results in a means for closing the

Zündkanalöffnung. According to the invention, an ignition mechanism results for Warhead effect in igniter direction. The invention allows a firing mechanism, which makes it possible to generate a powerful effect in the direction of the detonator. This basically affects the effect of warheads and grenades. The invention describes an ignition mechanism which makes it possible to achieve a uniform spherical effect.

According to the invention, in particular, there is a 40 mm 360 degree fragmentation warhead. In particular, the invention describes a 40 mm warhead, which has a powerful frontal effect and spherical effect despite the head detonator.

Further features, effects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and the accompanying figures. This shows in a schematic outline sketch:

Figure 1 shows a detail of an ammunition with detonator in an initial state;

FIG. 2 shows the ammunition from FIG. 1 in an explosive state;

Figure 3 shows a section of an alternative ammunition / an alternative

Ammunition concept.

Figure 1 shows a section or part of an ammunition 2, wherein the ammunition is a 40 mm fragmentation grenade. The ammunition 2 contains a warhead 4. The

Warhead 4 contains an ammunition module 6 with an igniter 8 and an explosive device 10 that can be ignited by the igniter. The explosive device 10 is represented by hatching. The warhead 4 also contains an active assignment 12, which surrounds the explosive device 10 and which can be accelerated by reacted explosive of the explosive device 10 or accelerated in the ignition.

In the present case, the detonator 8 is a detonator since, with respect to an (in the case of use) flight direction 14 of the ammunition 2, it is located "in front" of the explosive device 10 or, in this sense, on the "head of the ammunition 2. The active assignment 12 is a splitter assignment. a part 16 of the active assignment 12 is at the igniter. 8

facing side of the explosive device 10 attached. The igniter 8 is arranged relative to the explosive device 10 so that it can ignite the explosive device at an ignition point 18 or ignites in the application. The ignition point 18 is located at a location remote from the igniter 8 within an envelope 20 of the explosive device 10. The envelope 20 is to

Clarification with a small distance to the explosive device 10 shown in dashed lines. The envelope 20 envelops both the explosives of the

Explosive device 10, and introduced into the explosive or recess in the form of a firing channel 22. The envelope has only concave and flat surface areas and in particular does not follow the firing channel, which leads "into the interior" of the explosive device 10. The ignition channel 22 extends from the igniter 8 to the ignition point 18th

The ignition channel is lined by a body 26, here a shell in the form of a straight circular cylinder jacket, or surrounded to the explosive out or

demarcated. The body is thereby in an initial form F. The body 26 is a metal body, here made of copper.

FIG. 1 shows an initial state A of the ammunition 2 or of the ammunition module 6 or of the explosive device 10. In the initial state A, the detonator 8 is not activated or triggered. Thus, no explosives conversion o. Ä. In the ammunition 2 has begun.

In the initial state A, the firing channel 22 is open, i. a channel is released from the igniter 8 to the ignition point 18. The ignition channel 22 is set up so that it seals itself from the open initial state A in an explosive state S itself.

The ignition channel 22 is in the initial state A is an unfilled cavity. The igniter 8 is a flyer forming booster igniter and the firing channel 22 a flyer channel for this purpose. At the igniter 8 opposite end of the ignition channel 22, an ignition transformer 28 is arranged (indicated by dashed lines). The ignition transformer 28 serves for the actual ignition of the explosive device 10 or its explosive. The flight path of the flyer is symbolized by an arrow.

FIG. 1 alternatively shows an ignition channel 22, which is not an empty cavity, but contains a pyrotechnic material 30 (dashed, hatched). The pyrotechnic material 30 here serves to transmit the ignition information from the igniter 8 to the ignition point 18. Figure 2 shows the ammunition 2 of Figure 1 in the blasting state S. The blasting state S is after ignition of the igniter 8. The igniter 8 has already

Explosive explosive device 10 ignited at the ignition point 18. The explosive 10 is in a conversion phase, i. at least part of the explosive has already been converted. A non-illustrated shell of the ammunition 2 is possibly deformed, but not destroyed and keeps the reacted explosive still within the Wirkbelegung 12th

In the blasting state S, the ignition channel 22 (whose initial state A is indicated by dashed lines) at least partially closed by a sealing element 24, wherein the sealing element 24 is introduced by the at least partially reacted explosive of the explosive device 10 in the ignition channel 22.

The sealing element 24 is here formed by at least a part of the body 26, which is deformed in the blasting state S in a closure mold V. The part of the body 26, here its compressed, the blasting point S facing the end, forms the

Sealing element 24.

In the alternative embodiment, the pyrotechnic material 30 is converted into a residual material 32 after ignition. This residual material 32 additionally forms another sealing element 24 and is slag.

By the sealing elements 24 of the original ignition channel 22 is sealed, so that no or only little swaths of the reacted explosive can escape. In the situation illustrated in FIG. 2, therefore, the total energy of the reacted explosive is still available for accelerating the active occupation 12.

Figure 3 shows symbolically an alternative ammunition 2, here in the form of an air-burst ammunition, with an alternative warhead 4 with alternative ammunition module 6 in the initial state A. Here is the ignition point 18 approximately in the middle of the envelope 20 of the explosive device 10. The detonator 8 is again a flyerbildender

Booster detonator, which cooperates with an ignition transformer 28. The flight path of the flyer is again symbolized by an arrow. The ignition point 18 is extended here and consists of the surrounding the ignition transformer or adjacent to this explosive. Again, the sealing element 24 is formed by a body 26, here a copper tube, the ignition channel 22 in its initial form F in the manner of a straight Circular cylinder jacket surrounds. During the implementation of the explosive device 10 in the explosive state, the body 26 is compressed to the sealing element 24 (shown in phantom).

According to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 (indicated dashed line), it can be seen in summary that due to the self-sealing of the ignition channel 22, the reacting explosive of the explosive device 10 can no longer or only slightly escape in the form of swaths through the ignition channel 22. The whole

Explosive energy of the explosive device 10 thus becomes the respective

Acceleration of all occupancy 12 used. In particular, the part 16 of the effective occupation 12, which, as seen in the igniter direction, becomes "before" the

Explosive device 10, i. E. on the igniter 8 facing side of the explosive device.

Thus, in the case of FIG. 3, there is a 360-degree effect of the effective occupation 12, here a splitter occupation, and in FIG. 2, in particular, a fragmentation effect in the direction of the arrow 14, ie in the direction of flight.
