Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of devices for maintaining the coating of a load nucleus generator and more particularly of a charge core generator intended to be placed in inside a vector, like a cargo shell, and to be ejected out of it at a given time on trajectory
- Core generating charges generally include an explosive charge placed in an envelope and on which is applied a coating having the overall shape of a spherical cap.
- the coating When the explosive detonates, the coating is set in motion by the incident pressure wave. It is deforms by turning "in a glove", that is to say that it turns into a projectile (or nucleus) whose front part is formed by the axial area of the covering and the rear part is a skirt formed by the periphery of the coating.
- Patent FR2627580 describes such a generating charge of nucleus.
- the coating is usually attached to the load explosive by bonding or it is immobilized in relation to the load envelope by means of a support integral with the envelope and placed in front of the covering.
- the installation of a support in front of the covering has the major drawback of disrupting training of the kernel by loading. This disturbance is present even by adopting a support such as that described by FR2657156 which dissociates itself from the envelope by the action of detonation of the explosive charge.
- nucleus-generating charges which are intended to be ejected from a vector are subject to significant acceleration efforts that can cause, separation of the coating and the load, or any at least one degradation of the coating, thus adversely affecting the subsequent nucleus formation.
- the problem of the behavior of the coating acceleration is all the more complex as the load in principle submitted when firing the vector (such as a artillery shell) at first acceleration, then knows during the ejection of the load out of the vector a second acceleration having a direction opposite to that of the first.
- the device according to the invention thus ensures a excellent resistance of the load to stress of acceleration undergone by it inside the vector without disturbing the formation of the nucleus.
- the subject of the invention is a holding device of a coating of a core-generating charge with respect to to an envelope of said charge, a charge which is intended for be placed inside a vector, such as a shell cargo, and to be ejected from this vector at an instant given on trajectory, device comprising means of wedging which ensures axial retention of the coating by load envelope, device characterized by what the wedging means are kept applied to the coating by means of support which is external to the load and which is ejected out of the vector at the same time as the latter, the wedging means separating from the load during of its ejection from the vector.
- the support means may be constituted by another charge placed in the vector.
- the wedging means will also be able to ensure the rotational drive of the coating.
- the means of wedging have a washer or an annular support which is supported on a peripheral area of the coating.
- This washer or support can be divided into at minus two parts that separate when the ejection of the load out of the vector.
- the washer may have spring tabs, regularly angularly distributed and which are arranged so as to allow compression deformation of the washer.
- the spring tabs may have a shape of arcs of circle concentric with the washer.
- the means of wedging may include a cup kept applied on an external surface of the coating.
- a sheet of compressible material may be placed between the coating and the cup.
- a vector 1 which is here an artillery cargo shell, has a closed envelope 2 at one end by a base 3 and at the other end by a warhead 4.
- Envelope 2 here contains two anti-tank submunitions 5a, 5b, which are held axially between the base 3 and a piston 6.
- This shell is intended to eject at a given time on trajectory of the submunitions 5a and 5b.
- the ejection is controlled by a chronometric rocket 7, which initiates a gas generating charge 8.
- the gas pressure pushes the piston which causes the separation of the base 3 and envelope 2 then the exit of submunitions 5a, 5b out of the envelope.
- Such a shell is known for example from the patent FR2682754, which shows in particular the means allowing the rotational drive of the submunitions by the envelope as well as those allowing an adjustment of the axial clearance between the submunitions and the envelope (means which are not shown here).
- the submunitions 5a and 5b are generating charges of nucleus.
- Each load thus includes an envelope 10 to inside which an explosive charge is placed 9.
- a coating 11 is applied to the explosive charge 9.
- the coating is kept applied axially on the load explosive by wedging means which include a support annular 12.
- This annular support is shown in more detail in Figures 2a and 2b. It has a smaller outer diameter or equal to the diameter of the shell 2 of the shell and on which there is a groove 13 intended to cooperate with a key (not shown) to ensure its training in rotation by the envelope 2.
- the support 12 has a circular internal fold 14 which has a surface corresponding to the external surface of the coating 11. It also has a flat rear face 15 which is supported on the second load 5b and a flat edge 16 which comes to bear on the casing 10 of the load 5a.
- the support 12 is found pinched between the two charges 5a and 5b. He then ensures axial retention of the coating 11 relative to the envelope 10 of the load 5a (as well as an axial maintenance of the load explosive 9 relative to the envelope 10).
- the support is kept applied in this position of wedging of the covering by means of support which is formed by the second charge 5b.
- FIG. 1a represents this same cargo shell 1 at the time of the ejection on the trajectory of the charges 5a, 5b.
- the pressure of the gases generated by the generating charge of gas 8 separates the base 3 from the casing 2 of the shell and pushes in the direction marked by the arrow F stacking of charges outside the envelope 2.
- the support 12 which is not integral with the loads 5a or 5b separates from these during ejection.
- the nucleus-generating charge 5a then has the configuration, shown in Figure 1a, in which none ring or obstacle is not in front of the covering 11.
- the invention it is possible not to link the coating 11 to the load only by fixing means light and not very resistant, for example by gluing the coating on the explosive charge 9.
- This variant will give some elasticity to the bond, possibly allowing compensate for thermal expansion.
- the coating of the load 5b is maintained axially by a similar support (not shown) arranged between the piston 6 and the load 5b.
- Figure 3a shows a second embodiment of the invention in which the coating 11 of the load 5a is held axially relative to the casing 10 by wedging means constituted by a thin cup 17.
- the cup 17 has a circular border 18 which is pinched between the two charges 5a, 5b and it has a curved profile which matches that of the external surface of the coating 11.
- the cup will preferably be made of metal by example in steel or aluminum alloy.
- the cup 17 is separates from the coating 11 as well as the elastomer 19 which may advantageously be glued to the cup.
- the core charge of submunition 5a does not therefore no longer has any disruptive obstacle placed in front its coating.
- This embodiment makes it possible to distribute the forces relatively uniform acceleration and on the entire outer surface of the covering 11. It is particularly well suited to loads generating core which use coatings whose material is ductile or for which the nucleus formation is disturbed by the presence of local constraints on the coating.
- This embodiment also makes it possible to protect the external surface of the covering 11 of impacts or friction occurring at the time of ejection.
- FIG. 3b shows an alternative embodiment in which the cup 17 is annular and therefore has a axial hole 20.
- This embodiment makes it possible to give the cup a increased elasticity (possibly allowing to compensate for thermal expansions).
- FIG. 4a shows a third embodiment of the invention in which the cup 17 does not include circular edge 18 but a flat support crown 21.
- a washer 22 is placed on this support crown and comes between the load 5b and the cup 17.
- the timing means therefore include the cup 17 and the washer 22, and these wedging means are kept applied to the coating 11 by a support means which is constituted by the load 5b.
- the washer has a diameter slightly larger than that of the envelope 10 and is housed in a counterbore 10a of the envelope.
- the counterbore carries dishes intended to cooperate with the washer to ensure its rotational drive.
- the washer 22 is shown in more detail in Figures 4b and 4c. It is made of spring steel sheet stamped and it has spring tabs 23 (here four tabs), evenly distributed angularly, and which are supported on the crown 21 of the cup 17.
- These spring tabs 23 have here the shape of arcs of circles concentric with the washer 22 and they are obtained by cutting the washer.
- the washer 22 also has three flats 24, regularly distributed angularly, which cooperate with corresponding machining arranged on the casing 10 at the level counterbore 10a. These flats ensure the rotary drive of the washer 22 by the load 5a.
- the washer 22 is deformable into compression and it makes it possible to make up for the axial clearances between the covering 11 and the covering 10, mainly the clearances due to thermal expansion.
- the cup allows the stresses to be distributed over the entire external surface of the coating.
- the washer 22 and cup 17 separate from the load 5a and therefore do not disturb the subsequent formation of the core.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that it allows provide excellent mechanical resistance to acceleration load ejection while allowing expansion very reliably and reproducibly.
- the washer must therefore be defined so that, the tabs come to rest on the cup and have a orientation such as the direction of rotation of the shell corresponds to an arc oriented from the base of the tongue towards its free end.
- Figures 5a and 5b show another variant of realization of the washer 22 in which the tongues spring 23 extend in a radial direction from the washer.
- These tabs have a shape such that they come in contact with the concave surface of the cup 17.
- Figure 6 shows for example a spring washer 22 performed in four sectors 22a, 22b, 22c and 22d and the figure 7 shows a cup 17 made in three sectors 17a, 17b and 17c.
- Figures 3 to 7 may well heard also to be used to maintain the coating and loading the load 5b.
- the support means will be constituted for example by the piston 6.
