Definitions
- the technical field of the present invention is that of containers for large caliber ammunition.
- This ammunition is characterized by a significant bulk because their mass is high (15 to 30 kg) and their significant length (1 to 2 m).
- This ammunition consists of a projectile and propellant charge contained in a shell fuel or not crimped on the projectile. Projectiles can be arrow projectiles, shell projectiles, incendiary projectiles, training explosives, etc. We can imagine that this ammunition is awkward to handle and must be protected. Current protections generally consist of containers incorporating means for wedging the ammunition and ideal for everyday handling.
- Patents FR-A-1 601 106, FR-A-2 597 075, FR-A-2 477 698, FR-A-2 369 180, FR-A-2 685 469 which describe such containers.
- patent FR-A-1 601 106 describes a container intended for fix the orientation and the location of the forces so that the crimping of the socket is protected.
- Wooden containers offer no watertightness and do not provide no cushioning at fall. Metal containers do not offer almost no fall amortization; this is all the more penalizing that the internal volumes are more and more restricted in due to external dimensional constraints related to transport and to the palletizing system and therefore strongly limit the volumes available for cushioning materials. In addition, they require paint and do not rule out the possibility of corrosion.
- the plastic containers offer good performance when the loads remain moderate as for example the case from a fall of 2.10 m in height at temperatures ranging from - 40 to + 63 ° C. Generally for this height, the performance of the ammunition is kept in its entirety by a material container plastic.
- Patent EP-0164150 only describes a protective envelope for ammunition for immediate use or to be incorporated into a overpack container and not a full container. It's about here to immobilize the case to prevent the projectile from entering in loading.
- the envelope is in the form of two half-shells following the outline of the projectile which must be immobilized one in relation to the other. The ammunition thus protected cannot be severely stressed.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a container protecting an ammunition against severe stress and prohibiting any accidental initiation thereof.
- the head block comprises a cylindrical internal profile extending the frustoconical profile internal.
- the means of blocking in translation consist of a first blocking means of the translation of the ammunition projectile with respect to to the cartridge case containing the charge of the ammunition and a second means for blocking the translation of the loading with respect to the projectile.
- Said means of blocking are also constituted by staves circular bearing on the projectile on the one hand and on the load envelope on the other hand, for example, and circular spans are delimited by folds of the inner envelope itself which is made up of two half-shells joined by connecting means, by example.
- the means for blocking the translation of the projectile by relative to the socket are constituted by a scope attachment cooperating with the flange of the projectile and the internal envelope is provided with two bearing surfaces bearing on the projectile near the end of the case.
- the means of connection are constituted by a latching means arranged at the level of the body of the internal envelope and by a sleeper arranged in the vicinity of the radial base, and the latching means is constituted by a claw delimited by extensions of the wall of the two half-shells, the latter each having a rim support along their junction line.
- the internal envelope is made up of injected polyamide, reinforced with glass fibers and presents cutouts of material.
- a very first advantage of the invention lies in perfect timing of the ammunition at its constituents themselves.
- Another advantage is that the ammunition is locked in an envelope at which are applied the timing means.
- Another advantage is that all the parts making up the container are made by extrusion-blowing and / or injection operations.
- FIG 1 there is shown in half higher the section of the container according to the invention and in lower half a view of the inner envelope alone integrated in the external envelope.
- Ammunition 1 represented in this figure is of the arrow type, that is to say that it consists of a projectile in the form a bar or boom 2 secured to a shoe 3, a socket 4 fuel or not containing a load propulsion. The socket is terminated by a base 5.
- a Large caliber ammunition of this type, 120 mm for example, has a mass of about 20 kg and according to the invention we want prohibit any translation of the projectile relative to the loading, because it was found that it is this displacement which caused an untimely initiation of the ammunition.
- an envelope is provided internal 6 housed in an external envelope 7.
- This last one is quite classic and has two operating handles 8 and 9 at each end, one cap 10 screwed externally to the wall of the envelope between which an O-ring 11 is placed sealing.
- the internal envelope 6 consists of polyamide reinforced by glass fibers and is made by injection. In this way, one can use a thin skeleton, about 5 mm thick, resistant and damping.
- the internal envelope 6 is profiled so to delimit at its wall a first bearing 12 in circular support on shoe 3, so as to prevent any translation of the projectile towards the socket 4 containing the load, constituting the first means of blockage when the ammunition falls on the side of the base 5.
- the internal envelope 6 has a second profile 13 in support circular on the front end of the socket 4, prohibiting any translation of this socket containing loading towards projectile 2, constituting the second blocking means when the ammunition falls on the side of the projectile.
- the internal envelope 6 conforms to the general shape of ammunition 1 and has a side projectile a frusto-conical part 14 extended forwards by a cylindrical part 15a bearing on a washer 16 centering with respect to the bar 2 and towards the rear by a tubular part 15b.
- This front end 15a is open and surrounds the tip of the bar to achieve a additional protection thereof.
- the internal envelope 6 also comprises at the base 5 a bearing surface consisting of one or more staves 17. At the level of this end, the envelope 6 is extended by a wall radial 18 serving as the background.
- the inner envelope 6 can be produced under the shape of two half-shells joined by means of link constituted at the median level for example by a snap-fastening and a latch 19 attached to a ledge of the wall 18.
- the internal envelope 6 thus produced ensures a immobilization of the ammunition in three directions prohibiting any translation of any of its constituents compared to others.
- This envelope contributes to most of the performance during falls security testing.
- the lower part of the figure shows different cutouts 21 of material in the envelope internal.
- the internal envelope 6 is itself immobilized following the three directions relative to the envelope external 7 by a head block 22, a lateral block 23 and a bottom block 24.

- Wedge 23 is applied against the part substantially cylindrical of the inner envelope 6 and is intended to prohibit any movement perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, between the two envelopes. She is arranged in the figure in the vicinity of the base 5 of the ammunition.
- the bottom wedge 24 is applied against the wall 18 of the envelope 6 and realizes, following its compression by the cap 10, blocking the ammunition along the longitudinal axis.
- the three wedges 22, 23 and 24 thus designed in turn achieve blocking according to the three directions of the inner envelope 6 with respect to the outer casing 7, preventing any direct contact between the two envelopes.
- FIG 2 there is shown the section of a container according to the invention applied to ammunition of the type hollow charge.
- Ammunition 50 shown in this figure consists of a projectile 51 with a hollow charge, a socket 52, combustible or not, containing a load propulsion.
- the socket 52 is terminated by a base 53.
- a Large caliber ammunition of this type, 120 mm for example, has a mass of 25 kg and, according to the invention, we want prohibit any translation of the projectile relative to the initiation pyrotechnic system because it has been found that it is this displacement which causes an initiation untimely ammunition.

- the latter is fully functional and includes two operating handles 56 and 57 at each end, one cover 58 screwed externally to the wall of the casing 55 between which an O-ring 59 is placed sealing.
- the half-shells 54 consist of reinforced technopolymer. In this way, we can realize a thin skeleton about a few mm thick, depending on the ammunition, resistant and shock absorbing.
- Half shells 54 are profiled so as to delimit at level of their wall a first attachment surface 60 on the flange 61 of the shell so as to prohibit any translation of the projectile 51 towards the socket 52 containing loading, constituting a first blocking means when the ammunition falls on the side of the base 53 or on the side of the projectile 51.
- FIG 3 there is shown, in a section cross-section, an embodiment of the first means of connection of the two half-shells. It consists of a snap-fit lip 40 delimited by the same wall of the two half shells.
- Each half-shell 6a or 6b includes on one side a lug 40a delimited by a semi-cylindrical part 41 and a substantially flat portion 42 and the other a claw 43 delimited by an extension 44 of the wall constituting the lip proper.
- the flat part 42 defines a space free 40b allowing manual decoupling of the two half-shells 6a and 6b.
- the two half-shells 6a and 6b are each provided with a flange 45 or 46 as shown in Figure 4.
- the two flanges 45 and 46 are provided at the substantially cylindrical part 15b of the envelope 6 and ensure a frank contact of the two half-shells.
- FIG. 5 shows in more detail the latch 19 constituting a second means of connecting the two half-shells 6a and 6b.

Description
Le domaine technique de la présente invention est celui des conteneurs pour munitions de gros calibre.The technical field of the present invention is that of containers for large caliber ammunition.
Les munitions de gros calibre sont caractérisées par un encombrement important car leur masse est élevée (15 à 30 kg) et leur longueur importante (1 à 2 m). Ces munitions sont constituées d'un projectile et d'un chargement propulsif contenu dans une douille combustible ou non sertie sur le projectile. Les projectiles peuvent être des projectiles flèches, des projectiles à charge creuse, des projectiles incendiaires, explosifs d'entraínement, etc... On conçoit que ces munitions soient peu commode à manipuler et doivent être protégées. Les protections actuelles sont généralement constituées de conteneurs incorporant des moyens de calage de la munition et conviennent parfaitement pour des manipulations courantes.Large caliber ammunition is characterized by a significant bulk because their mass is high (15 to 30 kg) and their significant length (1 to 2 m). This ammunition consists of a projectile and propellant charge contained in a shell fuel or not crimped on the projectile. Projectiles can be arrow projectiles, shell projectiles, incendiary projectiles, training explosives, etc. We can imagine that this ammunition is awkward to handle and must be protected. Current protections generally consist of containers incorporating means for wedging the ammunition and ideal for everyday handling.
A titre indicatif, on peut se reporter aux Brevets FR-A-1 601 106, FR-A-2 597 075, FR-A-2 477 698, FR-A-2 369 180, FR-A-2 685 469, qui décrivent des conteneurs de ce type. Toutefois, ils présentent le grave inconvénient de ne pas protéger la munition au cours des sollicitations élevées, et ce problème doit être impérativement résolu eu égard aux conditions de transport des matières dangereuses. On notera en particulier que le brevet FR-A-1 601 106 décrit un conteneur destiné à fixer l'orientation et l'emplacement des forces afin que le sertissage de la douille soit protégé. On propose un certain nombre de cales disposées au niveau des centres de gravité des composants de la munition. Aucun blocage en translation du projectile n'est prévu et il n'est pas envisageable de soumettre la munition à des sollicitations sévères.As an indication, one can refer to Patents FR-A-1 601 106, FR-A-2 597 075, FR-A-2 477 698, FR-A-2 369 180, FR-A-2 685 469, which describe such containers. However, they present the serious disadvantage of not protecting the ammunition during stresses This problem must be solved with due regard to the transport conditions for dangerous goods. We will note in particular that patent FR-A-1 601 106 describes a container intended for fix the orientation and the location of the forces so that the crimping of the socket is protected. We offer a number of wedges arranged at the centers of gravity of the components of the ammunition. No blockage in translation of the projectile is provided and it it is not possible to subject the munition to stresses severe.
Les conteneurs en bois n'offrent aucune étanchéité et n'assurent aucun amortissement à la chute. Les conteneurs métalliques n'offrent quasiment pas d'amortissement à la chute ; ceci est d'autant plus pénalisant que les volumes internes sont de plus en plus restreints en raison des contraintes dimensionnelles externes liées au transport et au système de palettisation et donc limitent fortement les volumes disponibles pour des matériaux de calage. De plus, ils nécessitent une peinture et n'écartent pas des possibilités de corrosion. Les conteneurs en matériaux synthétiques offrent de bonnes performances lorsque les sollicitations restent moyennes comme par exemple le cas d'une chute de 2,10 m de hauteur à des températures allant de - 40 à + 63° C. Généralement pour cette hauteur, les performances de la munition sont conservées intégralement par un conteneur en matière plastique.Wooden containers offer no watertightness and do not provide no cushioning at fall. Metal containers do not offer almost no fall amortization; this is all the more penalizing that the internal volumes are more and more restricted in due to external dimensional constraints related to transport and to the palletizing system and therefore strongly limit the volumes available for cushioning materials. In addition, they require paint and do not rule out the possibility of corrosion. The plastic containers offer good performance when the loads remain moderate as for example the case from a fall of 2.10 m in height at temperatures ranging from - 40 to + 63 ° C. Generally for this height, the performance of the ammunition is kept in its entirety by a material container plastic.
Mais, lorsque les sollicitations sont plus sévères par exemple lors d'une chute de 12 m pour des températures allant de - 40 à + 60° C, on constate fréquemment un taux d'initiation non négligeable, ce qui n'est pas admissible pour la sécurité des utilisateurs.But, when the stresses are more severe for example during from a drop of 12 m for temperatures ranging from - 40 to + 60 ° C, we frequently sees a significant initiation rate, which is not not admissible for user safety.
Le brevet EP-0164150 ne décrit qu'une enveloppe de protection pour munition pour une utilisation immédiate ou pour être incorporée dans un conteneur de suremballage et non pas un conteneur complet. Il s'agit ici d'immobiliser la douille afin d'éviter que le projectile ne pénètre dans le chargement. L'enveloppe se présente sous la forme de deux demi-coquilles épousant le contour du projectile qu'il faut immobiliser l'une par rapport à l'autre. La munition ainsi protégée ne peut pas être sollicitée de manière sévère.Patent EP-0164150 only describes a protective envelope for ammunition for immediate use or to be incorporated into a overpack container and not a full container. It's about here to immobilize the case to prevent the projectile from entering in loading. The envelope is in the form of two half-shells following the outline of the projectile which must be immobilized one in relation to the other. The ammunition thus protected cannot be severely stressed.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un conteneur protégeant une munition contre des sollicitations sévères et interdisant toute initiation accidentelle de celle-ci.The object of the present invention is to provide a container protecting an ammunition against severe stress and prohibiting any accidental initiation thereof.
L'invention a donc pour objet un conteneur pour munitions de gros calibre du type constitué d'une enveloppe externe fermée par un capuchon, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :
- une enveloppe interne délimitant des moyens de blocage en translation du projectile de la munition par rapport à une douille renfermant le chargement de la munition et des moyens de blocage appliqués au niveau du culot de la munition, lesdits moyens de blocage assurant une immobilisation suivant les trois axes de la munition dans l'enveloppe interne, et présentant à une extrémité une partie externe tronconique et à l'autre extrémité une partie cylindrique prolongée par une base radiale,
- une cale de tête disposée dans l'enveloppe externe, munie d'un évidement délimitant un profil interne tronconique épousant le profil externe de l'enveloppe interne,
- au moins une cale latérale disposée entre les enveloppes interne et externe, et
- une cale de fond disposée dans l'enveloppe externe appliquée contre la base radiale de l'enveloppe interne, comprimée contre celle-ci par le capuchon.
- an internal envelope delimiting means for blocking the projectile of the ammunition in translation relative to a socket containing the loading of the ammunition and blocking means applied at the level of the base of the ammunition, said blocking means ensuring immobilization according to the three axes of the munition in the internal envelope, and having at one end a frustoconical external part and at the other end a cylindrical part extended by a radial base,
- a head wedge disposed in the outer envelope, provided with a recess defining a frustoconical internal profile matching the external profile of the internal envelope,
- at least one lateral wedge disposed between the internal and external envelopes, and
- a bottom wedge disposed in the outer casing applied against the radial base of the inner casing, compressed against the latter by the cap.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la cale de tête comporte un profil interne cylindrique prolongeant le profil tronconique interne. According to a characteristic of the invention, the head block comprises a cylindrical internal profile extending the frustoconical profile internal.
Appliqués à une munition flèche, les moyens de blocage en translation, selon une caractéristique de l'invention, sont constitués d'un premier moyen de blocage de la translation du projectile de la munition par rapport à la douille renfermant le chargement de la munition et d'un second moyen de blocage de la translation du chargement par rapport au projectile. Lesdits moyens de blocage sont également constitués par des portées circulaires en appui sur le projectile d'une part et sur l'enveloppe du chargement d'autre part, par exemple, et les portées circulaires sont délimitées par des replis de l'enveloppe interne elle-même qui est constituée de deux demi-coquilles réunies par des moyens de liaison, par exemple.Applied to arrow munitions, the means of blocking in translation, according to a characteristic of the invention consist of a first blocking means of the translation of the ammunition projectile with respect to to the cartridge case containing the charge of the ammunition and a second means for blocking the translation of the loading with respect to the projectile. Said means of blocking are also constituted by staves circular bearing on the projectile on the one hand and on the load envelope on the other hand, for example, and circular spans are delimited by folds of the inner envelope itself which is made up of two half-shells joined by connecting means, by example.
Appliqués à une munition à charge creuse, les moyens de blocage de la translation du projectile par rapport à la douille sont constitués par une portée d'accrochage coopérant avec la collerette du projectile et l'enveloppe interne est munie de deux portées en appui sur le projectile au voisinage de l'extrémité de la douille.Applied to hollow charge ammunition, the means for blocking the translation of the projectile by relative to the socket are constituted by a scope attachment cooperating with the flange of the projectile and the internal envelope is provided with two bearing surfaces bearing on the projectile near the end of the case.
Selon un exemple de réalisation, les moyens de liaison sont constitués par un moyen d'encliquetage disposé au niveau du corps de l'enveloppe interne et par une grenouillère disposée au voisinage de la base radiale, et le moyen d'encliquetage est constitué par une griffe délimitée par des prolongements de la paroi des deux demi-coquilles, ces dernières présentant chacune un rebord d'appui le long de leur ligne de jonction.According to an exemplary embodiment, the means of connection are constituted by a latching means arranged at the level of the body of the internal envelope and by a sleeper arranged in the vicinity of the radial base, and the latching means is constituted by a claw delimited by extensions of the wall of the two half-shells, the latter each having a rim support along their junction line.
Enfin, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'enveloppe interne est constituée de polyamide injecté, renforcé par des fibres de verre et présente des découpes de matière.Finally, according to another characteristic of the invention, the internal envelope is made up of injected polyamide, reinforced with glass fibers and presents cutouts of material.
Un tout premier avantage de l'invention réside dans un calage parfait de la munition au niveau de ses constituants mêmes.A very first advantage of the invention lies in perfect timing of the ammunition at its constituents themselves.
Un autre avantage réside dans le fait que la munition est verrouillée dans une enveloppe au niveau de laquelle sont appliqués les moyens de calage. Another advantage is that the ammunition is locked in an envelope at which are applied the timing means.
Un autre avantage réside dans le fait que l'ensemble des pièces composant le conteneur est réalisé par des opérations d'extrusion-soufflage et/ou d'injection.Another advantage is that all the parts making up the container are made by extrusion-blowing and / or injection operations.
Ainsi, l'invention permet de :
- de verrouiller les parties déformables de la munition afin d'empêcher tout mouvement relatif risquant d'endommager ou d'initier les parties pyrotechniques sensibles,
- d'assurer l'amortissement quelle que soit la
position de la chute en trois étapes :
- 1) par la structure de l'enveloppe extérieure : dimensionnement approprié du corps et de la poignée du couvercle, avec une absence de tout contact avec l'enveloppe interne,
- 2) par les calages internes réalisés dans un matériau cellulaire dont la densité et la géométrie permet la deuxième phase d'amortissement, la première phase ayant quasiment atteint son maximum,
- 3) par les coquilles de verrouillage réalisées en polymère renforcé dont le dimensionnement de la structure de type squelette permet de résister tout en complétant l'absorption du choc et donc l'amortissement final,
- de garantir les fonctions citées ci-avant dans les limites extrêmes de dispersion, de fabrication de la munition, ceci sans aucune reprise d'usinage, d'intervention ni même de système de réglage de rattrapage de jeu. Ceci est assuré par le concept des coquilles dans la zone concernant le verrouillage du culot ; un ensemble de gorges constituant une zone de verrouillage variable permet lors de la fermeture de la grenouillère d'assurer le verrouillage final quelle que soit la longueur de la munition,
- de permettre en utilisation tactique et logistique une extraction de la munition dans un temps très court (moins de 10 s) ceci sans aucun outil et sans dépalettiser.
- to lock the deformable parts of the ammunition in order to prevent any relative movement which could damage or initiate the sensitive pyrotechnic parts,
- ensure amortization regardless of the position of the fall in three stages:
- 1) by the structure of the external envelope: appropriate sizing of the body and of the handle of the cover, with no contact with the internal envelope,
- 2) by the internal wedges produced in a cellular material whose density and geometry allows the second damping phase, the first phase having almost reached its maximum,
- 3) by the locking shells made of reinforced polymer, the dimensioning of the skeleton-type structure makes it possible to resist while completing the absorption of the shock and therefore the final damping,
- to guarantee the functions mentioned above within the extreme limits of dispersion, manufacture of the ammunition, this without any resumption of machining, intervention or even of system of adjustment of correction of play. This is ensured by the concept of shells in the area for locking the base; a set of grooves constituting a variable locking zone makes it possible, when the latch is closed, to ensure final locking whatever the length of the munition,
- to allow in tactical and logistic use an extraction of the ammunition in a very short time (less than 10 s) this without any tool and without depalletizing.

dernière est tout à fait classique et comporte deux
poignées 8 et 9 de manoeuvre à chaque extrémité, un
capuchon 10 vissé extérieurement sur la paroi de
l'enveloppe entre lesquels est placé un joint torique 11
d'étanchéité. L'enveloppe interne 6 est constituée de
polyamide renforcé par des fibres de verre et est réalisée
par injection. De cette manière, on peut utiliser un
squelette mince, de 5 mm d'épaisseur environ, résistant et
amortissant. L'enveloppe interne 6 est profilée de manière
à délimiter au niveau de sa paroi une première portée 12 en
appui circulaire sur le sabot 3, de manière à interdire
toute translation du projectile vers la douille 4
renfermant le chargement, constituant le premier moyen de
blocage lorsque la munition tombe du côté du culot 5.
L'enveloppe interne 6 comporte un second profil 13 en appui
circulaire sur l'extrémité avant de la douille 4,
interdisant toute translation de cette douille renfermant
le chargement vers le projectile 2, constituant le second
moyen de blocage lorsque la munition tombe du côté du
projectile.According to the invention, an envelope is provided
internal 6 housed in an external envelope 7. This
last one is quite classic and has two
operating
Sur la figure 1, on voit que l'enveloppe interne 6
épouse la forme générale de la munition 1 et présente côté
projectile une partie tronconique 14 prolongée vers l'avant
par une partie cylindrique 15a en appui sur une rondelle 16
de centrage par rapport au barreau 2 et vers l'arrière par
une partie tubulaire 15b. Cette extrémité avant 15a est
ouverte et entoure la pointe du barreau pour réaliser une
protection supplémentaire de celle-ci. L'enveloppe interne
6 comporte encore au niveau du culot 5 une surface d'appui
constituée par une ou plusieurs portées 17. Au niveau de
cette extrémité, l'enveloppe 6 est prolongée par une paroi
radiale 18 servant de fond.In FIG. 1, it can be seen that the internal envelope 6
conforms to the general shape of ammunition 1 and has a side
projectile a frusto-
On peut réaliser l'enveloppe interne 6 sous la
forme de deux demi-coquilles réunies par des moyens de
liaison constitués au niveau médian par exemple par un
encliquetage et une grenouillère 19 attachée sur un rebord
de la paroi 18.The inner envelope 6 can be produced under the
shape of two half-shells joined by means of
link constituted at the median level for example by a
snap-fastening and a
L'enveloppe interne 6 ainsi réalisée assure une
immobilisation de la munition suivant trois directions
interdisant toute translation de l'un quelconque de ses
constituants par rapport aux autres. Cette enveloppe
contribue à l'essentiel de la performance lors des chutes
aux essais de sécurité. La partie inférieure de la figure
montre différentes découpes 21 de matière dans l'enveloppe
interne. The internal envelope 6 thus produced ensures a
immobilization of the ammunition in three directions
prohibiting any translation of any of its
constituents compared to others. This envelope
contributes to most of the performance during falls
security testing. The lower part of the figure
shows
L'enveloppe interne 6 est elle-même immobilisée
suivant les trois directions par rapport à l'enveloppe
externe 7 par une cale de tête 22, une cale latérale 23 et
une cale de fond 24. La cale de tête 22 est engagée dans
l'enveloppe externe 7 avec un ajustement serré et présente
un évidement axial délimitant un profil interne tronconique
25 coopérant avec la partie tronconique 14 de l'enveloppe
interne, et un profil 26 sensiblement cylindrique recevant
avec un jeu très large la partie cylindrique 15 de
l'enveloppe externe.The internal envelope 6 is itself immobilized
following the three directions relative to the envelope
external 7 by a
La cale 23 est appliquée contre la partie
sensiblement cylindrique de l'enveloppe interne 6 et est
destinée à interdire tout déplacement perpendiculaire à
l'axe longitudinal, entre les deux enveloppes. Elle est
disposée sur la figure au voisinage du culot 5 de la
munition. La cale de fond 24 est appliquée contre la
paroi 18 de l'enveloppe 6 et réalise, suite à sa
compression par le capuchon 10, le blocage de la munition
suivant l'axe longitudinal. Les trois cales 22, 23 et 24
ainsi conçues réalisent à leur tour un blocage suivant les
trois directions de l'enveloppe interne 6 par rapport à
l'enveloppe externe 7, en prévenant tout contact direct
entre les deux enveloppes.
Sur la figure 2, on a représenté la coupe d'un
conteneur selon l'invention appliqué à une munition du type
charge creuse. La munition 50 représentée sur cette figure
est constituée d'un projectile 51 à charge creuse, d'une
douille 52, combustible ou non, renfermant un chargement
propulsif. La douille 52 est terminée par un culot 53. Une
munition de gros calibre de ce type, 120 mm par exemple, a
une masse de 25 kg et, suivant l'invention, on veut
interdire toute translation du projectile par rapport au
système pyrotechnique d'initiation, car on a constaté que
c'est ce déplacement qui provoque une initiation
intempestive de la munition.In Figure 2, there is shown the section of a
container according to the invention applied to ammunition of the type
hollow charge.
Suivant l'invention, on prévoit comme précédemment
des demi-coquilles 54 logées dans une enveloppe externe 55.
Cette dernière est tout à fait fonctionnelle et comporte
deux poignées 56 et 57 de manoeuvre à chaque extrémité, un
couvercle 58 vissé extérieurement sur la paroi de
l'enveloppe 55 entre lesquels est placé un joint torique 59
d'étanchéité. Les demi-coquilles 54 sont constituées de
technopolymère renforcé. De cette manière, on peut réaliser
un squelette mince de quelques mm d'épaisseur environ,
selon les munitions, résistant et amortissant. Les demi-coquilles
54 sont profilées de manière à délimiter au
niveau de leur paroi une première portée 60 d'accrochage
sur la collerette 61 de l'obus de manière à interdire toute
translation du projectile 51 vers la douille 52 renfermant
le chargement, constituant un premier moyen de blocage
lorsque la munition tombe du côté du culot 53 ou du côté du
projectile 51.According to the invention, provision is made, as above,
half-
Sur la figure 3, on a représenté, suivant une coupe
transversale, un exemple de réalisation du premier moyen de
liaison des deux demi-coquilles. Il est constitué par une
lèvre d'encliquetage 40 délimitée par la paroi même des
deux demi-coquilles. Chaque demi-coquille 6a ou 6b comprend
d'un côté un ergot 40a délimité par une partie semi-cylindrique
41 et une partie 42 sensiblement plane et de
l'autre une griffe 43 délimitée par un prolongement 44 de
la paroi constituant la lèvre proprement dite. En
accrochant la griffe 43 sur l'ergot 40, on réalise ainsi la
liaison des deux demi-coquilles 6a et 6b au niveau de leur
partie avant. La partie plane 42 délimite un espace
libre 40b permettant de désaccoupler manuellement les deux
demi-coquilles 6a et 6b.In Figure 3, there is shown, in a section
cross-section, an embodiment of the first means of
connection of the two half-shells. It consists of a
snap-
Comme indiqué précédemment, les deux demi-coquilles
6a et 6b sont munies chacune d'un rebord 45 ou 46 comme
représenté à la figure 4. Les deux rebords 45 et 46 sont
prévus au niveau de la partie sensiblement cylindrique 15b
de l'enveloppe 6 et assurent un contact franc des deux
demi-coquilles.As previously indicated, the two half-
La figure 5 représente plus en détail la
grenouillère 19 constituant un second moyen de liaison des
deux demi-coquilles 6a et 6b. A cette fin, chaque demi-coquille
6a et 6b comporte au niveau de sa paroi 18 un
prolongement 47a ou 47b en saillie sur chacun desquels est
pratiqué une rainure 48. La rainure 48 de la demi-coquille
6a, reçoit par exemple une extrémité du collier 49 de la
grenouillère, tandis que la rainure 48 de la demi-coquille
6b reçoit une barrette 50.Figure 5 shows in more detail the
En manoeuvrant la barrette 50, on bloque la
grenouillère 19 au niveau de la base 18. Les deux demi-coquilles
6a et 6b sont donc maintenues fermement liées
entre elles par les deux moyens de liaison illustrés par
les figures 3 et 5.By operating the
Sur les figures 1 et 2, on a représenté une enveloppe externe 7 de type tout à fait connu. Celle-ci est réalisée sous la forme d'un corps extrudé soufflé en matière viscoélastique à haute propriété d'amortissement du type polyéthylène à très haut poids moléculaire (500000). Ce corps est muni de brides B1 et B2 permettant d'assurer son conditionnement sur palettes sans autre artifice.In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a outer casing 7 of a well known type. This is produced in the form of an extruded body blown in viscoelastic material with high damping property very high molecular weight polyethylene type (500,000). This body has flanges B1 and B2 to ensure its packaging on pallets without any other device.
La munition 4 ainsi protégée résiste à des chutes
de 12 m en procurant un amortissement de sécurité maximum.
Les essais effectués entre - 40 et + 60° C à des hauteurs
de chute de 12 m n'ont mis en évidence aucune initiation ni
aucune désorganisation de la munition pour des chutes, côté
culot ou projectile, ou à plat.
Sur la figure 6, on voit que les demi-coquilles 54
épousent la forme générale de la munition et présentent
côté projectile une partie tronconique 62 prolongée par une
partie cylindrique 63. Chaque demi-coquille est munie d'une
gorge d'accrochage 64 délimitée par deux portées 64a et 64b
entre l'extrémité du projectile et l'extrémité de la
douille 52 constituant un second moyen d'accrochage et de
blocage. Ces demi-coquilles 54 comportent encore au niveau
du culot 53 une surface d'appui constituée par une ou
plusieurs portées 65. Au niveau de cette extrémité, chaque
demi-coquille est prolongée par une paroi radiale 66.In Figure 6, we see that the half-
On peut réaliser l'assemblage de ces demi-coquilles
54 par des moyens de liaison constitués au niveau médian
par exemple par une lèvre d'encliquetage 67 et une
grenouillère 68 attachée sur un rebord de la paroi 65. We can carry out the assembly of these half-
Les demi-coquilles 54 ainsi réalisées assurent une
immobilisation suivant trois directions de la munition 50
interdisant toute translation de l'un quelconque de ses
constituants par rapport à celle-ci. Cette enveloppe
contribue à l'essentiel de la performance lors des chutes
aux essais de sécurité. La partie inférieure de la figure 2
montre différentes découpes 69 de matière, constituant une
structure "squelette" légère, résistante et amortissante
dans l'enveloppe interne.The half-
Les demi-coquilles 54 sont elles-mêmes immobilisées
suivant les trois directions par rapport à l'enveloppe
externe 55 par une cale de tête 69, une cale de fond 70 et
une cale de couvercle 71. La cale de tête 69 est engagée
dans l'enveloppe externe 55 avec un ajustement serré et
présente un évidement axial 72 délimitant un profil interne
tronconique coopérant avec la partie tronconique 62 des
demi-coquilles et un évidement sensiblement cylindrique
recevant avec un jeu très large la partie cylindrique du
nez des demi-coquilles. Les deux enveloppes ne présentent
alors aucun point de contact entre elles.The half-
La cale 70 est appliquée contre la partie extrême
sensiblement cylindrique 63 des demi-coquilles et est
destinée à interdire tout déplacement perpendiculaire à
l'axe longitudinal, entre les deux enveloppes interne 54 et
externe 55. Elle est disposée sur la figure 6 au voisinage
du culot 53 de la munition. La cale de couvercle 71 est
appliquée contre la base 65 des demi-coquilles 54 et
contribue avec le couvercle 73 au blocage de la munition 50
suivant l'axe longitudinal. Les trois cales 69, 70 et 71
ainsi conçues réalisent à leur tour un blocage suivant les
trois directions des demi-coquilles 54 par rapport à
l'enveloppe externe 55.
Le conteneur selon l'invention permet d'éviter les initiations des munitions pour des hauteurs de chute de l'ordre de 12 m, dans un domaine de températures allant de -40 à +60°C.The container according to the invention makes it possible to avoid ammunition initiations for fall heights of around 12 m, in a temperature range from -40 to + 60 ° C.
