Description

Method for realizing cartridge-shell-free automatic weapon by using liquid propellant powder
Technical Field
The invention relates to technologies related to software and hardware development of weapons, gunpowder, electromechanical devices and embedded devices, in particular to technologies related to automatic control of weapons, use of liquid gunpowder and implementation of shell-less weapons.
Background
The bullets used in firearms and small-caliber artillery at present are all in a form of integrally packaging a bullet and a shell, wherein the shell plays an indispensable role. The shell case plays the effect that encapsulation propellant powder, parcel warhead, fixed primer, chamber of bullet are airtight and take away partial heat and play the cooling. But the cartridge case also brings great troubles, such as: the copper cartridge case causes great resource waste; the weight of the cartridge case accounts for half of the bullet, so that the carrying quantity of the ammunition of soldiers is limited; the need to shell and switch left and right makes the firearm more complex.
For north 5.56 x 45 mm caliber ammunition, the single bullet weighs about 11.8 grams, with a nose weighing about 4.02 grams (62 grains), a case weighing about 6.16 grams (95.1 grains), and a powder weighing about 1.6 grams (24.5 grains). It can be seen that 52.2% of the weight of the bullet is occupied by the shell. Taking the example of a soldier combat attendance with a maximum load of 10 kg, a soldier can carry up to 660 rounds of 5.56 mm cartridges, which have a total weight of about 7.8 kg, and 4.06 kg of the cartridges is the weight of the case, taking into account the weight of the magazine.
Due to the presence of the cartridge case, the relative weapon must perform a ejection action. To most firearms, adopt the right side to throw the shell during most designs, the shell case of high temperature not only causes the interference to the soldier in the vicinity, still can cause bigger puzzlement to some shooters who are used to the left hand oneself of using, this puzzlement then can the performance in no support firearms is more outstanding, and a lot of firearms have to additionally design the mechanism that can switch about throwing the shell. In addition to the trouble caused by the high-temperature copper shell, the distance between the ejection window and the shooter is short, so that the smoke of gunpowder and residual fuel gas can cause some interference to the shooter.
The invention of firearms based on solid gunpowder has been for hundreds of years so far, and firearms which are equipped in large scale at present are based on a mechanical and gunpowder mode. In order to meet the requirements of semi-automatic or full-automatic shooting, most modern firearms use the energy of gunpowder gas to realize shell ejection and loading, the next cycle is difficult to be completed by accurately using the energy of the gunpowder gas in the design, and in order to meet the requirement of reliability, the actions of shell ejection and loading are completed in a very violent mode only by excessively using the energy of the gas. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of gunpowder is reduced, and the shooting precision is influenced. Due to the limitation of mechanical structure, the requirements of full-automatic shooting and high-precision sniping on one gun are difficult to meet, so that the existing sniper rifle has to adopt a bolt structure or a semi-automatic structure in order to meet the precision requirement.
Liquid gunpowder is widely applied to the fields of mines, ocean engineering operation, military engineering blasting and special engineering blasting. The liquid gunpowder has the advantages of high fluidity, high explosion heat, good volume energy and safety. The double-element non-self-ignition liquid gunpowder is very suitable for the safety requirement of firearms, and can be injected into a combustion chamber through pressure injection to be mixed to form combustible and explosive mixed explosive. The oxidant in the binary liquid gunpowder can be selected from nitric acid, dinitrogen tetroxide, hydrogen peroxide, ammonium peroxynitrite and the like, and the fuel can be decalin, kerosene (JP4), isooctane, isopropanol (ZPA) and the like. The liquid fuel has small viscosity, easy atomization and small atomization diameter, and is very favorable for mixing, combustion and evaporation. In addition, the volume of the liquid fuel changes little with the temperature, the flow can be accurately controlled, and the requirement of the stability of the inner trajectory is easily met.
The liquid gunpowder has good fluidity, so the liquid gunpowder can be injected into the combustion chamber through pressure to complete the filling of the gunpowder. For armored vehicles or other mechanized vehicles, the liquid propellant can be charged at normal pressure and then delivered to the pressure regulator by a high pressure pump due to sufficient power. Because the fuel and the oxidant are separated, the safety of gunpowder storage can be improved as much as possible, and sympathetic explosion of ammunition can be greatly avoided. In addition, the liquid has higher specific heat and good heat conductivity, and can play a good cooling effect on the combustion chamber, thereby effectively preventing the combustion chamber and the casing from being overheated.
The function of the electronic fire control unit is very close to the working principle of an Engine Control Unit (ECU) used by an automobile, and the firearms have far lower speed requirements on the electronic fire control unit than the engine has on the ECU. Referring to the performance of the current mainstream individual firearms, the firearms can meet the requirements of a battlefield when the firing speed reaches about 400-900 rounds/minute in a full-automatic fire mode; under the multi-continuous fire mode, the fighting shooting speed can reach about 80-120 rounds per minute to meet the requirement. The electronic fire control unit meeting the requirements of a weapon system can be very easily realized through the singlechip, the memory, the power supply module and the digital-to-analog conversion module. The shell-less weapon based on liquid gunpowder can be well realized by combining a switching device, a sensor, an electromagnetic valve, an indicator light and a stepping motor.
Based on the limitations of the current firearms and ammunition, the invention provides a shell-less weapon idea adopting liquid gunpowder, so that the ammunition carrying capacity of fighters under the same load condition can be greatly improved, and meanwhile, the dual requirements on the precision and firepower of a weapon system can be met, and the weapon system can greatly save the consumption of precious metals such as copper materials, and greatly reduce the shooting cost.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The main implementation process of the method provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
by taking relevant parameters of ammunition with the caliber of about 5.56 millimeters in the north as reference, the implementation process gives a special case of designing a butt rifle with the caliber of 5.56 millimeters and the length of a heavy gun barrel of 508 millimeters (20 inches), the butt rifle can carry out precise sniper and full-automatic shooting, meets the requirements of most field operations and roadway operations, and is suitable for mechanized infantries to use in narrow vehicles by adopting an unsupported structure.
The main mechanical parts of the whole gun are shown in fig. 1, and mainly comprise the following parts: the novel multifunctional self-adaption quick-change barrel comprises a barrel, a cartridge receiver sleeve, a combustion chamber, a rotary lock, a guide pin, a retaining ring, a plunger, a valve seat, a self-adaption sliding block, a guide rail support, a cylindrical cam, a cam shaft and a self-adaption positioning pin. The electronic fire control unit, the stepping motor, the solenoid valve, the pressure regulator, various switches, the sensor, the indicator light and the battery are not shown together.
Of the main mechanical components previously described, the barrel (1), the combustion chamber (3), the rotary lock (4), the guide pin (5), the retainer ring (6), the plunger (7) and the positioning pin (13) are made of steel, while the other components can all be manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, which is shown in fig. 1 as a total weight of 2.66 kg.
The implementation case adopts the battery for energy supply, the stepping motor is used for driving the cylindrical cam (11) to rotate, the cylindrical cam (11) drives the sliding block cam rod (24) to enable the sliding block (9) to do linear reciprocating motion along the guide rail bracket (10), the sliding block (9) is used for driving the rotary lock (4) to do linear and rotary motion along the L-shaped guide groove (25) of the casing pipe, and finally the circulation process of loading and locking the bullet is realized. In the case, the casing sleeve (2) and the guide rail bracket (10) are respectively and independently processed and formed, the casing sleeve (2) is provided with a positioning groove (26) for assembling the guide rail bracket, and the guide rail bracket (10) can be assembled with the casing sleeve (2) in a welding or riveting mode to form the casing. The relationship between the moving parts is shown in the set of fig. 2.
The barrel (1) and the casing sleeve (2) can be connected in a threaded mode or in other fast plugging modes, and the barrel and the casing sleeve are installed in place through a positioning pin (13). The root of the gun barrel has the function of a cartridge chamber, the radius of the conical bottom of the gun barrel needs to slightly exceed the extension line of the central axis of the bullet at the bullet outlet, the tip of the bullet is guaranteed to enter the guide range of the concave conical surface (20) of the cartridge chamber under the pushing of the combustion chamber (3), and the loading process of the bullet is shown in a group of diagrams in fig. 3.
The combustion chamber (3) needs to be as lightweight as possible to reduce inertia while ensuring strength, and this is advantageous for increasing the firing rate of the weapon. The working volume of the combustion chamber (3) is determined by the positions of the warhead and the plunger (7), and the volume size needs to be comprehensively considered and finally determined through experiments. The high-strength combustion chamber (3) enables the weapon to use gunpowder with higher intensity and quicker combustion. The radius of the combustion chamber gas outlet (27) needs to be slightly larger than the radius of the tail of the bullet, but must be smaller than the maximum radius of the bullet. The relationship of the chamber, chamber and bullet is shown in figure 4.
In the embodiment, the combustion chamber (3) is made of steel and copper in a composite mode, wherein the combustion chamber main body (21) is made of steel, and the combustion chamber front cone end (14) is made of copper. Under strong explosion pressure, the copper material can show good ductility and elastoplasticity, and the front cone end (14) of the combustion chamber can slightly deform to better fit with the conical surface of the cartridge chamber, so that good air tightness is realized, and the front cone end can be prevented from cracking under the explosive explosion pressure of gunpowder.
In the embodiment, the rotary lock (4) and the casing sleeve (2) are respectively provided with 6 tooth protrusions (22) which are uniformly distributed according to the circumference, the locking angle is 30 degrees, and after the rotary lock (4) rotates for 30 degrees along the L-shaped guide groove (25) of the casing sleeve, the tooth protrusions (22) are overlapped with the tooth protrusions (22) on the casing sleeve to complete the locking of the combustion chamber (3). The tooth-convex joint surfaces are wedge-shaped, and along with the rotation of the rotary lock (4), the interaction between the wedge-shaped surfaces can push the combustion chamber to move forward to approach the cartridge chamber as far as possible, so that the air tightness is ensured, the explosion of the weak front end of the combustion chamber due to lack of cartridge chamber support is prevented, and meanwhile, the requirements on machining and assembling precision can be reduced. The relationship of the rotary lock (4) and the casing sleeve (2) is shown in fig. 5.
In the present case, the helical grooves (28) on the slider (9) and the cylindrical cam (11) both adopt a helix angle of 45 degrees, and the guide pin (5) and the slider cam rod (24) respectively perform relative movement in the two groups of grooves (28). Taking the sliding block (9) as an example, the helical angle of 45 degrees can ensure that the moving distance of the sliding block (9) is equal to the arc length of the guide pin (5) rotating around the L-shaped guide groove (25) of the casing sleeve. The cylindrical cam (11) is directly driven by a stepping motor, and the cylindrical cam (11) interacts with the slide cam rod (24) when rotating to enable the slide (9) to do linear reciprocating motion along the guide rail (43). Here the cam profile is as shown in figure 5.
It can be seen from fig. 6 that the contour line encircles the cam (11) for one revolution, the cam contour line is a vertical arc line groove (23) which is perpendicular to the cam shaft from the section a-B, the slide cam rod (24) rotates for about 90 degrees from the point a to the point B, and during the rotation, the slide cam rod (24) is in a relative rest state, and the combustion chamber (3) is also in a locked state. In the high-speed continuous-firing fire power mode, the cam (11) continuously rotates, and every time the slide block cam rod (24) passes through the time period from the point A to the point B, the electronic fire control unit judges the position of the cam (11) through the angular displacement of the stepping motor and finishes powder injection and ignition firing in the time period.
Height H of cam profile curvecThe distance L from the combustion chamber conical end (14) to the bullet chamber concave conical surface (20)oDiameter D of the magazine embracing opening (18)m(or width) and an arc length L of 30 degrees that the guide pin (5) rotates along the casing sleeve (2) when the combustion chamber (3) is closedaDetermination of, i.e. Hc=Lo+Dm+La(note here the helical angle of the slider helical groove is defined to be 45 degrees).
In view ofThe cam (11) contour line A-B occupies 1/4 cam outer diameter circumference, the helix angle of the helical groove is 45 degrees, and the diameter D of the cylindrical cam (11)cThe requirements are satisfied: dc=8Hc/3π
Stroke L of combustion chamber (3)cThe relationship of (1) is: l isc=Lo+Dm
The electronic fire control unit needs to judge the time of gunpowder injection and ignition through the displacement angle of the stepping motor, the rotation angle and direction of the cylindrical cam (11) can uniquely determine the position and movement direction of the slide block (9), and the position and direction of the slide block (9) can uniquely determine the position and movement direction of the rotary lock (4) and the combustion chamber (3). Therefore, as long as the timing assembly between the stepping motor and the cylindrical cam (11) is determined, the timing requirement of the whole system can be solved. As shown in figure 7, the design case adopts a cam shaft (12) with a semicircular section to be respectively connected with a stepping motor and a cylindrical cam (11), so that the timing problem caused by assembly can be completely eliminated.
The plunger (7) is a relatively central component in the system, and besides the function of air tightness under the high temperature and pressure generated by explosion, the plunger also needs to accommodate an ignition device and a spray hole as fuel. Referring to fig. 8, the plunger ignition device portion (38) is constructed in accordance with the construction and process of an automotive spark plug, considering that the maximum chamber pressure generated by small caliber ammunition can reach 430MPa, and the plunger is manufactured by high-strength steel and high-strength insulating ceramic.
The valve seat (8) is made of 6061-T6 hard aluminum alloy, the valve seat (8) not only bears the pressure transmitted by the plunger (7), but also plays a role in connecting the solenoid valve and the plunger (7), and 2 cylindrical solenoid valve sockets (29) are provided at the tail end of the valve seat (8) as shown in figure 9, so that the solenoid valve can be conveniently plugged.
The liquid propellant powder and the liquid oxidant can be pressurized, isolated and encapsulated by a pressure container, then are connected with firearms by a quick plug-in connector, and respectively enter into a corresponding pressure regulator through independent pipelines, and finally form constant pressure through the pressure regulator and then enter into 2 electromagnetic valves.
In this embodiment, the liquid propellant does not mix until it enters the combustion chamber (3), thereby ensuring the safety of this type of weapon.
In consideration of the existing technical conditions, the supply of liquid propellant powder to individual weapons by using pressure vessels is realistic. Taking 5.56 mm ammunition as an example, the shell loading capacity is about 1.5 g, the volume is about 1.85 ml, and considering that the volume energy of liquid powder is higher than that of solid propellant powder, and the weapon system has higher powder utilization efficiency, the requirement of more than 300 times of continuous launching can be met by adopting 450 ml of pressure bottled liquid powder.
A simple estimate of the amount of pressure to be maintained in the bottle can be made:
assuming the firearm is designed for a firing rate of 600 rounds per minute (i.e. a rotational speed of the cylindrical cam (11) of 600 revolutions per minute), the average elapsed time per round is 100 milliseconds. As shown in the previous figure 6, in the continuous shooting mode, the cam (11) rotates by about 90 degrees from the point A to the point B of the slide block cam rod (24), the electronic fire control unit finishes the processes of gunpowder injection and ignition, the ignition time is negligible, and the time from the point A to the point B is about Ti100 × 90/360 ms 25 ms, the amount of liquid charge per injection is Ci1.5 ml, the flow rate Q isi1.5/0.025-60 ml/s, measured by fuel orifice diameter D i2 mm, the required fuel injection velocity V can be obtainedi=4Ci/πTiDi 2Can obtain Vi19.1 m/s.
When the solenoid valve is opened, gunpowder flows from the pressure regulator through the valve opening into the nozzle hole (30) of the plunger and is injected from the nozzle hole (30) into the combustion chamber, and the pressure regulator is assumed to maintain a constant pressure PrThe flow rate of the liquid in the pressure regulator can be considered to be approximately 0, the pressure P at the outlet of the plunger nozzle holeiApproximately one atmosphere, neglecting the effect of liquid level differences. According to bernoulli's equation, there are: pr=Pi+ρVi 2Where ρ is the density of the liquid propellant, where ρ is 1000kg/m3P can be obtained by substituting the above calculated valuesr=PiSince +0.183MPa is 0.284MPa, P is ideally represented byrLess than three atmospheres, even when taking into account the viscosity of the liquid and the frictional resistance of the pores, PrIt should also be a range that can be implemented in actual production.
Because the volume of the bullet is far smaller than that of a complete shell bullet, the magazine of the weapon has larger capacity potential and is suitable for drum type magazines and cylinder type magazines. This embodiment is specifically incorporated herein by reference as a Top-loading longitudinal magazine (Top mounted longitudinal magazine) which was issued in 1990 in the united states and which has been available for free use for over 20 years now. The magazine is simple, light and bulky and is particularly suitable for this embodiment. The current weapon utilizing the magazine of this patent is P90, available from Fabrique national, Belgium, which uses a magazine of about 28 cm in length and 50 rounds in capacity. In the scheme, a magazine with the length of about 22 cm is adopted, and the capacity of the magazine can reach 60 rounds. In the present case, as shown in fig. 10, the magazine is loaded above the magazine, and the bullet holding opening (18) of the magazine needs to have a slightly forward and downward inclined angle (41) so as to facilitate the bullet to enter the conical surface of the chamber more reliably during the process of pushing into the chamber. In addition, the magazine in this embodiment carries P90 which is different from FN, where the magazine is arranged at the rear of the body, which will not affect the layout of the hand guards and the guide rails, as shown in fig. 11.
The electronic fire control unit is a brain of the whole system, is one of the most core components of the system, and is composed of hardware and related software, wherein a hardware module block diagram is shown in fig. 12, a software startup flow diagram is shown in fig. 13, an operation flow diagram is shown in fig. 14, and a shutdown flow diagram of the electronic fire control unit is shown in fig. 15.
