  • the invention relates to a kit for producing a hollow charge containing Zerstörladung for non-contact destruction of ordnance.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing a discharge charge using such a kit.
  • DE 36 23 240 C1 is also mentioned to make the setting of the desired breakdown power of the hollow charge precise dosage of their plastic explosive only on site. However, this document can be found no evidence how such a Zerstörladung is constructed so that the dosage of explosives can be done on site. It is also mentioned in DE 36 23 240 C1, that in the dosage of the explosive on the spot inhomogeneities, such as bubbles in the explosive filling, resulting in an exact adjustment of the breakdown power in practice almost impossible.
  • DE 603 18 298 T2 discloses a device for destroying explosives.
  • the plastic destruction mechanism consists of a cylinder provided with an axial tube serving to support the triggering means.
  • the detonator can be occupied by a blind detonator.
  • the charging process consists of loading a measured amount of plastic explosive into a cavity in the destructing mechanism that extends from the end of the blind detonator to the rear wall of the shaped charge liner. When the maximum amount of explosive is used, the leading edge of the high-load ring is located in the same plane or a few millimeters protruding from the edge of the destruction mechanism.
  • the shaped charge liner and the explosive are held by a threaded consolidation ring which is screwed onto the destruction mechanism. If less explosive is used, at least one spacer ring between the inner bridge of the consolidation ring and the hollow charge insert is to be integrated.
  • the filling with explosive material is such that it is introduced into the body from the open side and compressed, conventionally compressed by manual stamping, then further compressed by the consolidation ring acting on the front surface of the shaped charge liner. In the other filling process end stops are involved, to which the consolidation ring and any spacers must strike.
  • the invention has for its object to significantly reduce the logistics and security costs for Zerstörladungen.
  • the Zerstörladung not kept ready as a ready-mounted charge, ie stored and transported, but that all non-safety-critical components, such as the preferably tubular housing element of the Zerstörladung, the Hohtladungseinlage and provided for receiving the detonator cap, as Kit to be stored and transported separately.

  • the upper part of the loading aid can be introduced through the opening in the second end face into the tubular housing element and serves as an abutment in the pressing process of the explosive and for determining the distance of the shaped charge insert from the second end face of the tubular housing element.
  • tubular housing element of the kit is hardboard, so that when using the destruction charge no Significant lateral fragmentation occurs and the danger zone when using the charge is lower than in comparable known Zerstörladungen.
  • the hollow charge insert may be a metal, preferably copper. However, if a metal-free destructive charge has to be used for the elimination of electronic ordnance in order to prevent an influence on the weapon by the metal insert, the hollow charge insert may consist of a non-metal, preferably glass.

  • the base part of the loading aid is first positioned on a solid surface. Subsequently, the hollow charge insert of the kit is pressed with the front portion of the upper part through the opening of the second end face of the tubular housing member in the predetermined by the minimum distance (stand off) of Hohliadungseinlage to be destroyed ordnance position. Then, the existing explosive is preformed and introduced through the opening of the first end face into the preferably tubular housing element. Subsequently, the cap is pressed with its designed as a press die lower part against the explosive and then used as U or HU igniter trained electric detonator in the axial bore of the cap.
  • the pressure exerted on the explosive pressure is chosen such that the explosive 1 to 2 mm rises in the axial bore of the cap, so that a reliable ignition of the explosive is ensured by the detonator.

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet de réduire considérablement la dépense logistique et sécuritaire pour les charges destructives (100) contenant des charges creuses, destinées notamment à la destruction sans contact de moyens de combat. Selon l'invention, la charge destructive (100) n'est pas mise à disposition, c'est-à-dire entreposée et transportée, sous la forme d'une charge entièrement montée, mais tous les composants non pertinents pour la sécurité, comme l'élément de boîtier (2) de préférence de forme tubulaire de la charge destructive (100), un garnissage de charge creuse (5) ainsi que le capuchon (6) ou le couvercle (22) conçu pour accueillir le détonateur sont entreposés et transportés séparément sous la forme d'un ensemble de pièces détachées (1, 1'). La charge destructive (100) sera ensuite assemblée sur le site, conjointement avec la matière explosive (12) qu'elle contient, nécessaire à la charge creuse, ainsi que le détonateur électrique seulement si le responsable du tir concerné considère son utilisation comme nécessaire pour faire sauter des moyens de combat lors des interventions de neutralisation de ces moyens de combat.
