CS245075B1 - Cartridge to produce a controlled shrapnel effect - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to ammunition, where the use of a charge for inducing a controlled fragmentation effect of projectiles influences the mass distribution of fragments, increases their speed of flight and adjusts the direction of their flight. A long portable charge composed of high-detonation-velocity explosives strung on a long explosive charge accelerates the initiation of the effective charge itself, which then takes place from many initiation centers, thereby positively influencing the fragmentation effect of the projectile itself.

Description

The present invention relates to ammunition, where the use of a charge to produce a controlled shell effect of the bullets affects the mass distribution of the shells, increases their takeoff velocity and adjusts their direction of flight.

A long, portable cartridge made up of high detonation velocity explosive blasting rods, strung on a protruding explosive charge, will accelerate the initiation of its own effective filler, which will then pass from multiple initiation centers, thereby positively affecting the actual shell effect of the missile.

The shell effect of the missiles is based on the formation of the maximum number of effective fragments. The present invention relates to the enhancement of the shell effect of missiles, especially against armored vehicles.

At present, solving this task requires increasing the energy of the fragments capable of penetrating weak armor, for example, by influencing the mass distribution of the fragments and increasing their flight speed by using a more powerful explosive.

An important parameter of the effect of shells on the armor is the position of the shells at the moment of their impact on the target. This parameter is given by the directional distribution of the fragments and the position of the missile to the target at the time of its initiation.

The complex of these questions is solved by special missile constructions, which are designed for the purpose of increasing the splinter effect and are relatively expensive.

A significant increase in the shell effect can also be achieved with bullets already produced and stored in large quantities. The proposed modification according to the invention achieves a similar effect by providing the projectiles with a charge to produce a controlled shell effect. This cartridge will provide control of the detonation of the effective cartridge to increase the launch velocity of the fragments, increase their mass, and adjust the direction of their flight.

An exemplary embodiment of the proposed cartridge is shown in the drawing of Figures 1 to 4.

In Figs. 1 and 2, the portable cartridge 3 consists of a protruding charge of the explosive 6 disposed in the axis of the body of the missile 5, on which the tear bodies 7 separated by shielding inserts 8 are threaded. Thus, the initiation of the effective cartridge 4, for example, with a proximity lighter at the desired moment in the direction of flight of the projectile, is initiated from many initiation centers that are initiated almost simultaneously, since initiation of the extended explosive charge 6 occurs almost immediately. in the radial direction it is shielded by shielding inserts 8.

When using an impact mechanical lighter, the initiation of a protruding charge of the explosive 6 is initiated without the use of an electric detonator 9 upstream of the missile by the function of the priming charge 2. The effective charge 4 will again be initiated from many initiation centers.

Giant. 3 shows a portable cartridge assembly 3 assembled from a protruding charge of explosive 6 and tear rods 7 without shielding inserts 8. Initiation is provided by a priming cartridge 2.

Giant. 4 shows a possible transmission cartridge assembly 3 composed of tear rods 7 provided with electric detonators 9 separated by shielding inserts 8 and connected by insulated conductors 11 to the lighter assembly 1.

All proposed alternatives to the arrangement of the portable cartridge 3 will allow the initiation of the effective cartridge 4 from many initiation centers. This shortens the time required to convert the chemical energy of the active cartridge 4 into a mechanical one. Reducing the detonation time of the effective cartridge 4 will significantly affect the shell effect of the missiles.

Production or modification of missiles with the proposed arrangement is technologically undemanding and economically inexpensive compared to the costs necessary for the production of special missiles with increased shell effect.
