Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for starting and self-destruction of a munition, in particular of a submunion intended to be ejected from a cargo shell with a clean rotational movement around an axis
  • the priming part comprises means for priming a military charge housed in the munition, said priming means being carried by a slide movable from a safety position to an arming position, a main striker for initiating the priming means sensitive to percussion and an inertia impact detector for actuating the main striker at the time of the impact on the ground of the ammunition and causing the initiation of the priming means by axial percussion
  • the self-destruction part includes a secondary striker armed by a spring.
  • the munition comprises a body of generally cylindrical shape which contains the military charge.
  • This body is surmounted by a housing in which is housed a Security and Weapon Device or DSA including in particular the system for priming and self-destruction of the munition.
  • DSA Security and Weapon Device
  • the slide which supports the load initiating means is housed in the part of the case which is adjacent to the military charge, while the impact detector is mounted in the other part of the case.
  • the impact detector generally comprises a screw, one end of which is connected to a parachute ribbon and the other end of which supports the main striker.
  • the screw is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the ammunition and it is screwed through a nut which is movable by inertia in a bore of the housing.
  • the main striker is not located in the axis of the priming means, but it is often used to lock the slider in the safety position.
  • the parachute tape In normal operation, after ejection of the ammunition from the cargo shell for example, the parachute tape is deployed to stabilize the trajectory of the ammunition during its fall towards the ground and to give it an orientation determined at the time of its impact on the ground.
  • the deployment of the parachute tape combined with the rotational movement which is printed on the munition after it has been ejected around its longitudinal axis, results in a relative displacement of the impact detector screw relative to the nut in a direction which tends to move the slider and the main striker away from each other.
  • the slider then passes into the cocking position and the striker is found axially aligned with the priming means.
  • the detector screw-nut assembly moves by inertia in the direction of the slide, which has the effect of causing the axial percussion of the means d 'priming by the main striker secured to the screw and causing instantaneous ammunition operation.
  • the impact detector operates in a preferred manner along the longitudinal axis of the munition. In other words, if the trajectory of the ammunition at the time of its impact on the ground corresponds substantially to this axis, the probability of having instantaneous operation of the ammunition is very high, then we are in optimal operating conditions.
  • the subject of the invention is a system for initiating and self-destroying a munition, in particular a submunition intended to be ejected from a cargo shell with a clean rotational movement around a axis, and comprising an initiating means carried by a movable slide from a safety position to an arming position, a main striker for initiating the initiating means and a secondary self-destruct striker armed by a spring,
  • the self-destruction part includes:
  • centrifugal trigger pivotally mounted about an axis substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the ammunition, trigger movable by the effect of centrifugal force against the action of a return spring
  • the retaining means being released by the trigger when the rotational movement of the ammunition ceases, for example after the impact on the ground of the ammunition, and when the trigger changes position following the relaxation of its return spring,
  • the self-destruction part of the system according to the invention is actuated when the ammunition is no longer subjected to a rotational movement, that is to say after its impact on the ground. Its operation is almost instantaneous, whereas in previous systems, the pyro ⁇ technical delay is initiated during the fall of the ammunition and after the passage of the slide in the arming position, and its operation is delayed by a certain delay after the ground impact of the ammunition.
  • the use of a secondary striker ensuring a radial percussion of the priming means adds to the reliability of the self-destruction system which aims to compensate for a failure of the main striker.
  • the system is also simpler and more reliable because it does not use a pyrotechnic delay.
  • the holding means is formed by a finger integral with the trigger and disposed at one end of the latter, the finger cooperating with an annular groove arranged on a body of the secondary striker so as to maintain the latter ci with its spring in the armed state, when the trigger return spring is compressed and to release it when the trigger, pushed by its return spring, has adopted a firing position.
  • the striker, secondary remains in the armed state as a result of the blocking ensured by the locking finger of the centrifugal detector, this finger retracting after the impact on the ground of the ammunition to release the secondary striker.
  • the system comprises means for maintaining the secondary striker with its spring in the armed state when the slide is in the safety position.
  • the advantage of such an arrangement is that it makes it possible to control the energy available for self-destruction. indeed this is provided by a spring which is kept in the compressed state during storage and during the arming phase.
  • the secondary striker when the system is in the safety position, the secondary striker is maintained in the armed state by the slide on which it comes to bear. According to another embodiment, when the system is in the safety position, the secondary striker is held in the cocked state by the trigger finger, the latter being held by a part of the slide in a position such that it compresses its own return spring.
  • the slide is a drawer movable in translation from its safety position to its cocking position, and carries a stud on which the trigger is supported when the drawer is in the safety position.
  • Pressing the trigger on the nipple ensures that the secondary striker is kept in the armed state by the trigger finger without pressing it on the slide.
  • the trigger comprises a notch intended to receive a projecting stop on a lateral face of the slide, after the impact on the ground of the ammunition, to prevent the drawer from passing into the cocking position.
  • the mobile element of the centrifugal detector comprises a locking means to prevent the passage of the slide in the arming position after the impact on the ground of the ammunition.
  • the slide is produced in the form of a flap mounted rotating around an axis parallel to the axis of the ammunition, and the flap comprises a spout on which the end of the trigger.
  • the end of the trigger constitutes a lock preventing any rotation of the flap.
  • the secondary striker is constituted by a hollow body closed at one end by a bottom wall extended externally by a percussion point and closed at its other end by a closing disc fixed to the housing, the spring of arming the secondary striker being housed inside said body.
  • the secondary striker is integral with the trigger, the spring of the secondary striker then being constituted by the return spring of the trigger.
