6 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures PATENTED SEP 9 I975 .E E R1... m: m M m ID 61A n 1 m J B/ E NCQ Q SHELL CONSTRUCTION SEALING WASHER This invention relates to anti-aircraft projectiles having a shorter time of flight and higher striking velocity than heretofore and in particular to a gun-launched solid-fuel ram-jet-propelled projectile.
Much difficulty has been experienced in sealing off the projectile fuel and the front-entering air passages in ram jet projectiles until after the projectile is in flight and in particular preventing escape of propellant gases while the projectile is in the gun barrel. When the projectile has left the gun barrel the air passages must be opened to allow air to reach the fuel. Heretofore, due to the complex nature of the valves used for this purpose they have not performed satisfactorily in that they did not respond quickly enough to flight condition of the projectile and because of a time lag in readily supplying air for the fuel upon launching of the projectile.
Therefore, it is one object of this invention to provide a simple and efficient air sealing aluminum ring cemented to the rear wall of the warhead which requires no adjustment and which operates in response to air pressure created by the flight of the projectile to instantaneously allow air, in sufficient quantity, to reach the fuel for combustion.
It is another object of this invention to provide a simple air sealing aluminum washer for a ram jet projectile which in open position allows air to reach the fuel without travelling an unduly tortuous path.
Another object of this invention is to provide a simple air sealing mechanism which requires no adjustment for a ram jet projectile in which the propellant is ignited by the gun blast, thus eliminating the need of a separate igniter.
Another object of this invention is to provide a ram jet projectile that does not require other than normal handling precautions, has a simple air sealing mechanism and utilizes a solid fuel as a propellant.
Another object of this invention is to provide a ram jet fuel which burns uniformly, produces higher thrusts and lower burning rate than the simple magnesium fuels.
Another object of this invention is to provide a projectile of the ram jet type in which the fuel is in the shape of a hollow cylinder cemented to the shell body. This allows the shell walls to be insulated by the fuel until the fuel is burned, thus precluding the possibility of the tailpipe of the shell burning off during flight. A further object of this invention is to provide a ram jet projectile in which the explosive charge is carried forward in the center section of a supersonic diffuser and in which a point detonating fuze is built into the point of the diffuser.
For a more detailed understanding of the invention reference may be had to the accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof in which like characters refer to like parts throughout the several views and in which,
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the ram jet projectile showing the sealing ring in open" position.
FIG. 2 is a somewhat enlarged detailed sectional view of the warhead assembly showing the washer cemented to the rear wall of said warhead and closing the internal air passages thereof.
FIG. 3 is a traverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a traverse sectional view taken on line 44 of FIG. 1, and
FIG. 5 is a detail perspective view of the aluminum sealing ring or washer.
The gun-launched ram-jet projectile as hereinafter described comprises a warhead assembly A and a shell structure B which is permanently attached or otherwise secured to the warhead assembly, preferrably by means of a screw threaded joint as at 10. The warhead carries an explosive charge 11 within a casing 12 supported within the outer casing 13 of the warhead assembly in such a way as to provide air passage 14. The rear wall 15 of said warhead assembly solidly secures the outer casing 13 to the casing 12 and is provided with air passages 16 communicating with passage 14. The rear wall 15 is also provided with a rotating ring 18 at the periphery thereof.
The shell structure B has cemented to the interior wall thereof a hollow cylindrical solid fuel grain 17 and the forward end or upstream end of this grain terminates short of the rear wall 15 of the warhead as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 which provides a cylindrical space 19 of an axial length greater than the axial thickness of the sealing ring 20 which is located in such space 19. Preferably this space 19 is about two or three times longer than the axial thickness of the sealing ring. It will be ob served in FIG. 1 that the central opening in the sealing ring is approximately the same diameter as the internal bore diameter in the solid fuel grain and that the combustion chamber is defined by the fuel grain.
A suitable rubber cement is utilized to cement one face of the sealing ring to the rear wall 15 of the warhead (see FIG. 2) and thus the interior of the shell is effectively sealed as the sealing ring or washer 20 closes the openings or air passages 16.
The gun blast charge 24 used to launch the projectile is contained in the cartridge 25. The gun blast is also utilized to act as an igniter for the propellant by heating it to a suffieient temperature.
The solid fuel grains utilized as the propellant are simple magnesium fuels containing magnesium, oxidizer and binder to which has been added small amounts of stearic acid or magnesium stearate as an internal lubricant when the fuel was pressed. By adding the stearic acid a more uniform burning with higher thrusts is obtained over simple magnesium fuels. In addition the stearic acid fuels have a lower burning rate than the simple magnesium fuels.
In operation the projectile is ejected from the casing 25 by the gun blast 24 and at the same time the propellant 17 is heated to ignition temperature. The high pressures built up within the bore of the grain and chamber 19 by the gun blast is rapidly dissipated when the projectile leaves the gun barrel. Due to this pressure the sealing ring is firmly held in place against the high initial force of acceleration, and upon the projectiles emergence from the gun bore at muzzle velocity and rapid dissipation of gun blast pressure the ram air pressure on the forward side of the sealing ring is sufficient to snap the ring back against the forward end of the grain, allowing instantaneous and full air flow to the propellant which is already at ignition temperature. The sealing washer is held in its open position by ram air pressure, the force of acceleration as well as pressures generated by the burning fuel since the sealing ring is up against the grain prior to or simultaneously with air being supplied to the fuel. As a result all the gas pressures built up in chamber 19 tend to force the sealing ring against the grain and hold it there.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
