Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport container for a number of propellant charges according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such transport containers are known per se and have been used, for example, for eight propellant charges. With these known transport containers, however, there is the problem that problems cannot be reliably ruled out with regard to the requirement profile placed on them, such as mechanical damping in the event of falling or impact loads, flame protection and avoidance of effective insulation.
  • stacking strips are preferably provided on the outside of the circumference, evenly distributed on the circumference, which extend over the entire length of the tubular casing and which, with an end section, project beyond the tubular casing on the cover side.
  • the lid is detachably arranged on the stacking strip end sections opposite the lid.
  • the stacking strips which are fixed to the outside of the pipe by welds, are dimensioned as mechanical damping elements in accordance with the requirement profile. If a transport container according to the invention is subjected to a drop test, the stacking strips are deformed. This deformation of the stacking strips destroys a significant proportion of the mechanical forces that occur during the drop test. The stacking strips thus form a so-called crumple zone.
  • a protective cover is expediently arranged in the tubular jacket of the transport container according to the invention.
  • This protective cover can be a cardboard tube.
  • the wall thickness of the cardboard tube can, for example, be of the order of 3 mm.
  • the protective cover serves to protect the propellant charges in the transport container from rapid, extremely large temperature fluctuations.
  • the tubular jacket is designed with longitudinal predetermined breaking points, which are congruent with the stacking strips.
  • the longitudinal and transverse predetermined breaking points can be realized by indenting the pipe jacket. Said predetermined breaking points serve to facilitate opening of the tube jacket when subjected to a corresponding action.
  • the closure lid is preferably designed and constructed such that the lid is opened when a defined internal pressure is reached in the container. So that the closure lid does not become a projectile when opened in this way, the lid is expediently captively connected to the container by means of a flexible element. This flexible element can be a safety rope.
  • the protective cover is formed with longitudinal slots which are provided in a correspondingly uniform manner in the circumferential direction of the distribution of the longitudinal predetermined breaking points and thus of the distribution of the stacking strips. Since - as has already been mentioned - the transport container preferably has four stacking strips, it is preferred if the protective cover is accordingly designed with four longitudinal slots. So that the longitudinal slots of the protective cover and the predetermined breaking points in the tubular casing of the transport container according to the invention are congruent, the inside of the tubular casing is preferably formed with at least one positioning projection and the protective casing with at least one associated positioning hole.
  • two diametrically opposite positioning lugs are provided, which are designed as beads in the tubular jacket.
  • the beads engage in two diametrically opposed positioning holes that are formed in the protective cover are.
  • two diametrically opposed stacking strips are each designed with indexing lugs and the two other diametrically opposing stacking strips with corresponding indexing holes, in order to ensure that a corresponding number of transport containers according to the invention can be palletized precisely. For example, twenty-five transport containers are arranged on a pallet and fixed on said pallet with the aid of a tensioning device.
  • the transport container - as has already been mentioned - does not influence the LOVA properties of the propellant charges.
  • This is ensured by the design of the transport container according to the invention.
  • the transport container according to the invention has the mechanical strengths required to pass the sometimes very difficult tests such as the drop test or the like.
  • the decisive factor here is the structural design, ie the dimensioning of the stacking strips, which on the one hand give the transport container the required inherent rigidity and on the other hand act as a crumple zone.
  • a transport container In the event of enemy fire at the transport containers to be transported in a stack, if a transport container is hit, it is achieved according to the invention that after a propellant charge is ignited by the internal pressure in the transport container, the latter immediately rises in a ball shape at the point of ignition and thus opens.
  • the transport container opens when the pressure builds up. This burns the propellant charges and does not react detonatively. Adjacent transport containers are therefore not ignited.
  • the transport container fulfills all mechanical requirements, such as a drop test.
  • LOVA means low vulnerability (LOW VULNERABILITY).
  • FIG. 1 shows a section and half section of a transport container 10 for propellant charges 12, the outer contours of which are indicated by dash-dotted lines 14 in the left half of the drawing.
  • the transport container 10 has a tubular jacket 16 which is sealed at its lower end section 18 with a container base 20.
  • the tube jacket 16 is provided on the top side with two diametrically opposite positioning lugs 22, as can be seen from FIG. 6.
  • the two positioning lugs 22 are designed as beads 24.
  • a bead 24 is illustrated in FIG. 9 on an enlarged scale.
  • the positioning lugs 22 in the form of beads 24 serve for the precisely defined positioning of a protective cover 26 in the interior of the transport container 10.
  • the protective cover 26 is also shown in FIGS. 10, 11, 12 and 13, among others.
  • the protective cover 26 is made, for example, of a cardboard material and, as can be seen from FIGS. 10 and 11, is provided with two diametrically opposite positioning holes 30 on its upper end section 28.
  • the protective cover 26 is also formed with longitudinal slots 32, of which - as can be seen from FIG. 13 - three longitudinal slots 32 are each offset by 90 degrees.
  • the longitudinal slots 32 have a length that is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the protective cover 26.
  • FIG. 13 also shows a longitudinal slot 34 which - as can be clearly seen from FIG.
  • the longitudinal slot 34 thus extends over the entire length of the protective cover 26, so that the protective cover 26 can be changed in its diameter to a limited extent. In this way, the protective cover 26 can be easily arranged in the tubular jacket 16 or the transport container 10. After the protective cover 26 has been introduced, the protective cover 26 can then spring open again and fit tightly and tightly against the inner surface 36 of the tubular jacket 16 of the transport container 10.
  • the tubular jacket 16 is provided on its inner surface 36 with four longitudinal predetermined breaking points 38, which are formed, for example, by notches 40.
  • Such a longitudinal predetermined breaking point 38 in the form of a longitudinal notch 40 is illustrated in FIG. 7 on an enlarged scale.
  • Figure 3 shows that the tubular jacket 16 is formed with four such longitudinal predetermined breaking points 38, which are each offset by 90 degrees.
  • the tubular jacket 16 is formed on its inner surface 36 in a central region 42 with transverse predetermined breaking points 42, as can be seen from FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates such a transverse predetermined breaking point 42 on an enlarged scale.
  • the transverse predetermined breaking points 42 are spaced apart from one another and are provided between the longitudinal predetermined breaking points 38.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates on a correspondingly enlarged scale a transverse predetermined breaking point 42, which is designed as a notch 44.
  • the positioning lugs 22 of the tubular jacket 16 and the positioning holes 30 in the protective cover 26 are positioned and provided such that the longitudinal slots 32 and the longitudinal slot 34 extending over the entire protective cover 26 are congruent with the longitudinal predetermined breaking points 38 in the tubular jacket 16, as shown in FIG 3rd can be seen.
  • Figure 3 also illustrates that 16 longitudinal strips 32 are fixed with the longitudinal slots 32, 34 and the longitudinal predetermined breaking points 38 radially aligned and thus congruent on the outside of the tubular jacket.
  • the stacking strips 46 extend over the entire length of the tubular jacket 16, they protrude above the tubular jacket 16 with an end section 48 on the upper side.
  • the stacking strips 46 are fixed to the tubular jacket 16 by welds 50.
  • Each stacking strip 46 is also formed with a number of ventilation holes 52.
  • Two diametrically opposed stacking strips 46 are provided with indexing lugs 54 which protrude from the corresponding stacking strips 46. These indexing lugs 54 can be inserted into indexing holes 56 of an adjacent transport container 10 with a precise fit.
  • the tubular jacket 16 can be closed on the upper side by means of a cover 58.
  • the cover 58 has a closure part 60, from which a hub device 62 stands centrally upwards.
  • Two locking arms 64 and an actuating handle 66 protrude diametrically from the hub device 62 (see also FIG. 2). If the operating handle 66 is rotated around the hub device 62, the two locking arms 64 are adjusted in the axial direction of the transport container 10.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show that each upper end section 48 of each stacking strip 46 has a base part 68 (see also FIG. 2), which is provided with an upwardly open L-shaped slot 70. At the inner end of the transverse slot section 72, the base part 68 is pressed radially outwards.
  • Said outwardly pressed portion of the base part 68 is designated by the reference number 74 in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the corresponding locking arm 64 lies after a corresponding one Lock screwdriver movement of the operating handle 66 tight and tight. If the pressure in the transport container 10 exceeds a defined value, the locking arms 64 of the cover 58 are bent accordingly, so that the cover 58 detaches from the transport container 10. So that the detachable cover 58 does not become a projectile, it is held captively on the transport container 10 with the aid of a flexible element 76.
  • the flexible element 76 which can be a cable pull
  • the flexible element 76 is provided with a nipple device 78 and the tubular jacket 16 of the transport container 10 is provided with an abutment member 81 for the nipple device 76.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 show a removal device 80 which has a base element 82 and straps 84 projecting from the base element 82.
  • the tapes 84 extend to the cover 58 or to an end element 86 on the top (see FIG. 1). With the aid of the removal device 80, it is easily possible to remove the propellant charges 12 located in the transport container 10 from the transport container 10.
