Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for packaging an object provided with a radio transmission device and a removable element for such a container.
  • said object may be arbitrary, the present invention applies particularly to the case where said object is a missile. It will be explained below in connection with such an object.
  • missiles are in radio link with an external command and / or control station and have, for this purpose, one or more radio transmission devices. We also know that it is common for such missiles to be packed in a container during storage and transport, or even awaiting firing.
  • a missile When packaged in its packaging, a missile must be able to communicate with an external command post, either to transmit information such as experimentation or pre-fire control telemetry, or to receive information, such as firing order, trajectory to follow, order of remote destruction, etc ... For this purpose, it is natural to use the radioelectric transmission device with which said missile is provided.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks.
  • any external control station can be in radio link with the radio transmission device linked to said object (missile), in order to exchange information, said radio antenna of the removable element ensuring the connection with said radio transmission device.
  • said element is removable, it is possible to provide several interchangeable removable elements, each specifically adapted to a particular missile and / or to a particular phase of the life of a missile (experimentation, development, storage, waiting for shooting, etc ). Thus, it is possible to use a single type of container for different missiles and / or during different phases of the missile life. This therefore results in savings on container costs.
  • said removable elements can be manufactured and developed, independently of the containers, which is an ease.
  • the container according to the present invention may further comprise a simple plug capable of taking the place of said removable element in said opening, during periods when radio links are not necessary.
  • Said opening may be any already existing opening of the container.
  • the opening intended to receive said removable element (and / or said plug) is specifically arranged for said removable element.
  • it is produced in the upper wall of said container.
  • the present invention further relates to a removable element for closing an opening of a container intended for packaging an object provided with a radioelectric transmission device.
  • a removable element is remarkable in that it carries, on one side, at least one radio antenna and, on the other side, at least one coaxial connector, said antenna and said coaxial connector being electrically connected to each other. the other, so that, when said removable element is in the closed position of said opening, said coaxial connector is accessible from the outside of said container, while said antenna is inside said container and is capable of being radio-coupled with said radio transmission device of said object packed in said container.
  • said removable element comprises a shutter capable of closing off said opening and provided with said coaxial connector passing through it, and a plate, integral with said shutter and carrying said radio antenna, this plate being capable of passing through said opening, so that it can be introduced inside said container, when the shutter is placed on said opening, or be removed therefrom, when said shutter is released from said opening.
  • said shutter is cylindrical and said wafer is integral with the inner end face of said shutter. It will further be noted that it is thus possible to house said coaxial connector inside said shutter, without it projecting outside. Said coaxial connector then passes through a transverse wall of said cylindrical obturator and is fixed on the latter.
  • said plate is arranged radially with respect to said shutter and said antenna is arranged on the face of said plate intended to be, in the closed position of said removable element, facing said object.
  • the other opposite face of said plate can carry the circuit of said antenna.
  • said removable element comprises a plurality of radio antennas each corresponding to a specific radio transmission (telemetry, remote destruction, teletrajectography, etc.) and an equal number of coaxial connectors, respectively associated with said antennas.
  • These coaxial connectors can be of different dimensions.
  • the transverse wall of said cylindrical shutter on which said coaxial connectors are fixed may not be planar, but on the contrary have different levels, in order to best accommodate said coaxial connectors in said shutter.
  • Figure 1 schematically illustrates a container according to the present invention, equipped with a removable element also according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a partial section along line II-II of the container of Figure 1, showing said removable element in section shown on a wall of said container.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view from above of the removable element according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a bottom view of said removable element.
  • the container 1 shown schematically in dashed lines in FIG. 1, encloses a missile 2 equipped with a radioelectric transmission device, of which only the antenna (s) 3 has (have) been shown.
  • a removable element 5 is fixed on a wall 4 of said container 1, for example the upper wall.
  • said wall 4 is pierced with an opening 6, for example bordered by a flange 7, and on which said removable element 5 can be fixed, for example by means of screws 8 (see FIG. 2).
  • a seal 9 seals this attachment.
  • said removable element 5 consists of a cylindrical shutter 10, intended to cooperate with the flange 7 to close said opening 6, and of a projecting radial plate 11, fixed to the face inner end 12 of said shutter 10, by example by means of screws 13.
  • the width l of said radial plate 11 is smaller than the diameter of the opening 6, so that it can pass through said opening 6 to be introduced into the interior 14 of the container 1, or be removed from it.
  • radio antennas 17, 18, 19 and 20 are arranged, while, on the face 16 of said wafer 11, the circuits of said antennas are arranged, protected by a cover 21.
  • a transverse wall 22 is provided, on which are fixed through coaxial sockets 23, 24, 25 and 26.
  • the transverse wall 22 is not planar, but has steps.
  • the coaxial socket 26 is larger than the coaxial sockets 23, 24 and 25 and that the part 22A of the wall 22 on which it is fixed is deeper than the part 22B on which the coaxial sockets 23, 24 and 25 are fixed.
  • the through coaxial sockets 23 to 26 are fixed by means of clamping nuts 27, cooperating with their threaded body.
  • removable plugs 28 are provided to close the outer ends of the coaxial sockets 23 to 26.
  • coaxial connections 29 to 32 (not shown in FIG. 2, but partially visible in FIG. 3 and only illustrated in FIG. 4 by dashed lines for clarity of the drawing) connect each of the electrodes 17 20 to the corresponding coaxial socket 23 to 26.
  • the removable element 5 when the removable element 5 is in place on the container 1, its shutter 10 closes the opening 6 and the antennas 17 to 20 are directed towards the missile 2.
  • the through coaxial sockets 23 to 26 are accessible from outside and can therefore be connected, by coaxial cables 33 (only shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1), to any radio transmitting and / or receiving station 34, outside said container 1.
  • the removable element 5 is specific to the radioelectric transmission device carried by the missile 2.
  • a removable element 5 can be used, whatever the container 1 and the missile 2, provided that this element 5 can cooperate with the transmission device carried by said missile.
  • several removable elements 5 are provided, which can be mounted interchangeably on a container 1, it is possible either to use said container to package several different types of missiles 2, the transmission devices of which are respectively adapted to said removable elements 5, or to make different specific radio links between the same missile 2 and the ext. 34.
  • the opening 6 can be specially provided on the container 1 to receive the removable element 5, or else that the shutter 10 of said removable element 5 can be adapted to be able to close an opening 6 already existing on said container 1 for another use.
