Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety device for a twisted round igniter.
  • a safety device for a Vortex projectile igniter is for example in the EP 0 360 187 B1 described.
  • a retaining ring is formed with a keyway having radially inwardly oriented support tabs and between these recesses.
  • the support tabs and the recesses have approximately the same size footprint dimensions. This has an effect on the swirl-ie centrifugal force-related spreading behavior of the retaining ring.
  • This known safety device also has a spring device which is formed by a conical spiral compression spring.
  • the US 4,004,521 A shows a securing device for a Vortex projectile igniter with an igniter body and a bearing body, which define between them a spherical cavity in which a spherical rotor, in which a detonator is provided, is rotatably mounted.
  • the rotor is surrounded by a C-shaped spring, which prevents the rotor by means of the bearing body and a force acting on the bearing body coil spring from rotating in the assurance of the securing device.
  • the rotor moves together with the bearing body away from a piercing needle engaging in the rotor.
  • With increasing rate of rotation of the projectile in which the securing device is provided there is also a spreading of the C-shaped spring.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a safety device of the type mentioned for a Vortex projectile igniter, especially for a medium-caliber weapon system, which is suitable for relatively high piecing and Zuclassbebuilditch.
  • the safety device has the advantage that the rotor for the detonator provided in the igniter body is released only when the launch acceleration and the spin-induced rotational acceleration is applied. This means that short-term pulses, such as those that occur in a drop test, are not detected as sufficient for ignition, so that the rotor remains in safety. In particular, extremely high feed and Ansetzbenchept be collected with the inventive securing device in an advantageous manner and not transmitted via the rotor to the internal structure. This leads advantageously to a high functional reliability.
  • FIG. 1 shows sectionally longitudinally sectioned an embodiment of the securing device 10 for a twisted roundabout igniter.
  • the safety device 10 has a detonator body 12 drawn in sections and also a bearing body 14, which is also drawn only in sections.
  • the igniter body 12 and the bearing body 14 are each formed with a hemispherical cavity, so that in the assembled state between the igniter body 12 and the bearing body 14, a spherical cavity 16 results.
  • a ball-like rotor 18 is rotatably mounted.
  • a detonator 20 is arranged in the spherical rotor 18.
  • the ball-like rotor 18 is also formed with a recess 22, in which in.
  • FIG. 1 shows sectionally longitudinally sectioned an embodiment of the securing device 10 for a twisted roundabout igniter.
  • the safety device 10 has a detonator body 12 drawn in sections and also a bearing body 14, which is also drawn only in sections.
  • the ball-like rotor 18 is surrounded by a rotor locking ring 28 which in the securing (see FIG. 1 ) prevents the rotor 18 by means of an acceleration ring 30 and a spring element 32 positively connecting the acceleration ring 30 with the rotor locking ring 28 to a rotation in the armed position.
  • the rotor locking ring 28 is for rotationally and centrifugally related spreading in a space 34 inside, with a slot 36 (see FIG. 2 ) educated.
  • the rotor locking ring 28 is formed diametrically opposite the slot 36 with a notch 38. This notch 38 causes a corresponding material weakening 40 of the rotor locking ring 28, whereby the mentioned spreading of the rotor locking ring 28 is facilitated.
  • FIG. 1 the rotor locking ring 28 in the equatorial connection region 42 between the igniter body 12 and the bearing body 14, due to rotation and centrifugal force spreadable provided.
  • the rotor securing ring 28 is arranged in a recess 44 which is formed on the end face 46 of the bearing body 14 which adjoins the igniter body 12.
  • the Recess 44 has the free space 34 for the rotationally and centrifugally spread rotor locking ring 28.
  • the igniter body 12 is formed with an annular, axially oriented receiving space 48 for the spring element 32 and the accelerating ring 30.
  • the acceleration ring 30 is axially movably guided along an axially oriented cylindrical guide surface 50 delimiting the receiving space 48 on the inside.
  • the receiving space 48 is formed with a stepped profile 52.
  • the stepped profile 52 results in an inside bearing portion 54 for the spring element 32 and an externally axially adjacent guide portion 56 for the acceleration ring 30.
  • the acceleration ring 30 has an L-shaped cross-sectional profile with a plant leg 58 for the spring element 32 and a holding leg 60th for the rotor locking ring 28.
  • the accelerator ring 30 may compress the spring member 32.
  • the positive connection between the acceleration ring 30 and the rotor locking ring 28 is released and the rotor locking ring 28 is released.
  • this release does not cause any opening of the rotor locking ring, i. no spreading of the same, because no rotation takes place.
  • the rotor 18 can not rotate so in the axial focus.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the rotationally symmetrical design of the safety device and in particular the formation of the rotor locking ring 28 with the slot 36 and the notch 38 and caused by the notch 38 material weakening 40th
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the Entommeswolf the safety device 10.
  • the triggered spring element 32 is compressed by the accelerating ring 30 at sustained launch acceleration.
  • the resulting centrifugal force of the rotor locking ring 28 is moved radially outwardly into the space 34, as seen from FIG. 4 clearly seen, and the rotor 18 released.
  • the spring element 32 relaxes again and moves the acceleration ring 30 again in the direction of securing.
  • the accelerator ring 30 can not return to the in FIG. 1 move drawn backup back, because he is now blocked by the spread rotor locking ring 28, that comes with his holding leg 60 on the spread rotor locking ring 28 to the plant.
  • the spring element 32 thus biases over the acceleration ring 30, the rotor locking ring 28 in its position.
  • the rotor 18 can rotate only in its axial focus when the socket 24 is released via a (not shown) second Entommessystem and moves away from the rotor 18.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the deformed, ie spread rotor locking ring 28 which opens due to centrifugal force in a fast rotation and the rotor 18 releases.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of the securing device 10, wherein the representation of the bearing body 14 has been omitted. Only the cylinder body 12 with its hemispherical recess is illustrated.
  • the reference numeral 18 is also in the FIGS. 5 and 6 denotes the spherical rotor in which a detonator 20 is arranged.
  • the rotor 18 has three recesses 62 which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction and radially oriented.
  • the respective Recess 62 is in the in the FIGS. 5 and 6 drawn assurance an associated radially oriented transverse pin 64 into it.
  • the respective transverse pin 64 is guided linearly movable in an associated, formed in the igniter body 12 transverse pin guide hole 66.
  • each transverse pin 64 is imaged with an axially oriented through hole, which is provided for receiving an axially oriented acceleration pin 70.
  • a spring element 72 (see FIG. 5 ) connected.
  • the transverse pins 64 are also each formed with a through hole 74 at its radially outer end portion.
  • a second spring element 76 which is designed as an annular spring, extends through the through holes 74 of the radially oriented transverse pin 64.
  • the second spring element 76 is formed in an annular groove 78 of the igniter body 12.
  • the reference numeral 22 is also in FIG. 5 designates the recess formed in the rotor 18, in which in the securing of the securing device 10 a bushing 24 stands.
  • At least one transverse pin 64 is provided, or, for example, three transverse pins 64 are provided, depending on the mechanical loads to be expected, in order to be suitable for extremely high feeding and setting accelerations.
  • the respective spring element 72 holds the associated axially oriented acceleration bolt in the associated acceleration bolt guide hole 68, so that the respective transverse pin 64, fixed in the rotor 18 in a form-fitting manner, is fixed. If a brief acceleration occurs, as occurs, for example, in a drop test, the respective acceleration bolt 70 can compress the associated spring element 72. However, the cross pin 64 remain in the positive locking with the rotor 18, because the second spring element 76 holds the cross pin 64 in the securing.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the rotationally symmetrical structure of the securing device 10th
  • the acceleration bolts 70 compress the associated spring elements 72, so that the radially oriented transverse bolts 64 are released from the acceleration bolts 70.
  • the radially oriented transverse pins 64 are moved outwards due to centrifugal force.
  • the transverse pins 64 press the second spring element 76 radially outward, so that the second spring element 76 is moved apart.
  • the rotor 18 is released.
  • the radially oriented cross pins. 64 move in the annular groove 78 to the outside and can then rest against an outer housing, not shown.
  • the transverse pins 64 are still guided, so that they can move back to their original position.
  • the rotor 18 can rotate only in the axial position, ie in the armed position of the safety device 10 when the socket 24 is released via a not shown second Entommessystem and moves away from the rotor 18.
