Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une charge génératrice de noyau. Elle s'applique notamment aux charges placées dans les munitions agissant en survol de leur objectif.The present invention relates to a core generating charge. It applies in particular to charges placed in munitions acting in overview of their goal.
Les charges génératrices de noyau (connues aussi sous le nom de charges formées ou « Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFP) » dans la littérature ango-saxonne) sont des têtes explosives, comportant un revêtement mis en mouvement par la détonation d'un chargement explosif disposé dans un confinement (connu aussi sous le nom d'enveloppe) généralement métallique cylindrique. Le revêtement se déforme de façon à constituer un noyau, projeté à une vitesse de l'ordre de 2000 m/s vers une cible. De telles charges sont utilisées pour former les têtes militaires de munitions. Elles sont aussi utilisées dans l'industrie (forages, exploitations minières...). Les principes généraux de fonctionnement de ces charges sont décrits dans le document « Fundamentals of Shaped Charges » de W.P. Walters et J.A. Zukas (Editeur : CMCPress, ISBN : 0-471-62172-2).Core generating charges (also known as formed or "Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFP)" in the ango-saxon literature) are explosive heads, with a coating set in motion by the detonation of an explosive charge disposed in a confinement (also known as an envelope) generally cylindrical metal. The coating is deformed so as to constitute a core, projected at a speed of the order of 2000 m / s towards a target. Such charges are used to form the military heads of ammunition. They are also used in the industry (boreholes, mining ...). The general principles of operation of these charges are described in W.P.'s "Fundamentals of Shaped Charges" document. Walters and J. A. Zukas (Publisher: CMCPress, ISBN: 0-471-62172-2).
Les cibles blindées sont plus particulièrement vulnérables au niveau de leurs parties supérieures, c'est pourquoi on cherche à définir des munitions à charge génératrice de noyau dont la direction d'action est sensiblement verticale.Armored targets are particularly vulnerable to level of their upper parts, that is why we seek to define core-generating charge ammunition whose direction of action is substantially vertical.
Le brevet FR2771166 décrit par exemple une munition qui agit en survol de l'objectif et qui comporte une tête militaire dont la direction d'action est sensiblement normal à l'axe de la munition (c'est à dire sensiblement la direction de vol de la munition). La munition comprend une charge génératrice de noyau dont le confinement est de forme sensiblement cylindrique. Le revêtement est disposé de telle sorte que la direction dans laquelle il est projeté soit perpendiculaire à l'axe du cylindre.FR2771166 patent describes for example a munition which acts in overflight of the objective and which includes a military head whose direction of action is substantially normal to the axis of the munition (that is to say substantially the flight direction of the ammunition). The ammunition includes a charge core generator whose confinement is substantially shaped cylindrical. The coating is arranged so that the direction in which it is projected is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.
Un inconvénient de cette solution est que la position du revêtement par rapport au confinement ne permet pas d'exploiter de manière efficace tout l'explosif présent dans le confinement. C'est le cas en particulier de l'explosif en périphérie du revêtement, dont la détonation ne contribue pas à la projection du noyau. En outre, le noyau formé peut se rompre en plusieurs morceaux.A disadvantage of this solution is that the position of the coating in relation to the containment does not allow to exploit in a manner effective all the explosive present in the confinement. This is particularly the case explosive on the periphery of the coating, the detonation of which does not contribute at the projection of the nucleus. In addition, the formed nucleus can break in several pieces.
Un but de l'invention est de proposer une charge génératrice de noyau, destinée à être utilisée dans une munition tirant suivant un axe (direction d'action ) perpendiculaire à l'axe de la munition, et qui ne présente pas ces inconvénients.An object of the invention is to propose a generating charge of core, intended to be used in a munition pulling along an axis (direction of action) perpendicular to the axis of the munition, and which does not not these disadvantages.
Ainsi, l'invention a notamment pour objet une charge génératrice de noyau comprenant un confinement, un revêtement destiné à former un noyau, dans lequel :
- le confinement forme sensiblement un tube selon un axe, le tube étant ouvert à une extrémité, le tube possédant une section perpendiculaire à l'axe inscrite dans un rectangle, les deux côtés du rectangle ayant des longueurs différentes, la longueur du confinement selon l'axe et la longueur du petit côté du rectangle étant telles que le confinement puisse être logé dans un cylindre d'axe parallèle au grand côté du rectangle ;
- le revêtement ferme l'ouverture du confinement, de telle sorte que le noyau formé par la détonation soit mis en mouvement dans une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe du tube.
- the confinement substantially forms a tube along an axis, the tube being open at one end, the tube having a section perpendicular to the axis inscribed in a rectangle, the two sides of the rectangle having different lengths, the length of the confinement according to the axis and the length of the short side of the rectangle being such that the confinement can be housed in a cylinder axis parallel to the long side of the rectangle;
- the coating closes the opening of the confinement, so that the core formed by the detonation is set in motion in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the tube.
Un des principaux avantages de l'invention est que, pour un calibre de munition donné, il est possible de définir une charge dont le volume n'est pas limité par ce calibre. L'invention permet, par l'augmentation de la quantité d'explosif et de la masse du revêtement, d'obtenir un noyau plus performant que celui d'une charge génératrice de noyau axisymétrique logée de manière similaire dans la munition. De plus, cette géométrie permet de faciliter la réalisation de chargements dont les caractéristiques respectent les plans de symétrie de la charge, notamment pour des réalisations de chargements par coulée ou compression. Le vide laissé entre le confinement et la structure de la munition peut être utilisé pour loger des modules électroniques ou comme passage de câbles électriques.One of the main advantages of the invention is that for a given caliber of ammunition, it is possible to define a charge whose volume is not limited by this template. The invention makes it possible, by increasing the amount of explosive and the mass of the coating, to obtain a nucleus more efficient than that of an axisymmetric core generating charge housed similarly in the ammunition. In addition, this geometry allows to facilitate the realization of loads whose characteristics respect the planes of symmetry of the load, in particular for realizations of loads by casting or compression. The gap left between confinement and the ammunition structure can be used to house modules electronic or as a passage of electric cables.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la longueur du petit côté du rectangle est sensiblement égale à la longueur du confinement selon l'axe du tube.According to one embodiment, the length of the short side of the rectangle is substantially equal to the length of the confinement along the axis of the tube.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, la section du tube est sensiblement une ellipse. Ceci permet une bonne usinabilité du confinement.According to an advantageous embodiment, the section of the tube is substantially an ellipse. This allows a good machinability of the confinement.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, la forme du revêtement possède deux plans de symétrie perpendiculaires dont l'intersection forme l'axe du tube.According to an advantageous embodiment, the shape of the coating has two perpendicular planes of symmetry whose intersection forms the axis of the tube.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, des initiateurs sont placés sur la surface du confinement en regard du revêtement.According to an advantageous embodiment, initiators are placed on the surface of the confinement facing the coating.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les initiateurs sont répartis de manière symétrique par rapport aux plans de symétrie du revêtement.According to an advantageous embodiment, the initiators are distributed symmetrically with respect to the symmetry planes of the coating.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les initiateurs sont au nombre de quatre.According to an advantageous embodiment, the initiators are number of four.

On se réfère maintenant aux figures 1 à 3 qui représente un
exemple de munition comprenant une charge selon l'invention. La munition 2
a un corps essentiellement cylindrique par rapport à un axe de symétrie 3.
L'axe de symétrie 3 est sensiblement horizontal, aligné avec la direction de
déplacement de la munition, lorsque la munition est en vol. La munition 2
comporte une charge 1 placée à l'intérieur. Cette charge présente une
direction d'action 4 sensiblement verticale, c'est à dire perpendiculaire avec
l'axe de symétrie 3.Reference is now made to FIGS.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 4. La charge 1 comprend un
confinement 5 dans lequel est placé un chargement explosif (non
représenté). Le confinement peut être réalisé en acier, aluminium ou en
matière plastique par exemple. La charge comprend en outre au moins un
initiateur (non visible sur cette figure) destiné à amorcer la détonation du
chargement explosif. Le confinement 5 présente une ouverture fermée par
un revêtement 6. Le revêtement est destiné à former un noyau lors de la
détonation du chargement explosif. Le revêtement peut être réalisé en métal,
tel que Tantale, Nickel, Fer ou Cuivre par exemple.Referring now to FIG. 4, the
Avantageusement, lorsque la charge est placée dans la munition, le revêtement se situe sur un côté de la munition, à l'intérieur du profil extérieur de la munition et affleurant ce dernier dans ses parties les plus extérieures.Advantageously, when the load is placed in the ammunition, the coating is on one side of the ammunition, inside the profile outside the ammunition and flush with the latter in its most exterior.
Le confinement forme sensiblement un tube selon l'axe 4. Le tube
présente dans le plan horizontal (plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 4) une section
qui est inscrite dans un rectangle 7. Avantageusement, la section du tube est
une ellipse ou quasi une ellipse. Le rectangle 7 présente un grand côté 8 et
un petit côté 9 de longueurs différentes. Le grand côté 8 est parallèle à l'axe
3. Le confinement étant logé dans la munition 2, sa longueur selon l'axe 4 et
la longueur du petit côté 9 sont limitées par le calibre de la munition 2. En
d'autres termes, la longueur du confinement selon l'axe 4 et la longueur du

On se réfère maintenant aux figures 5 à 8. Selon un mode de
réalisation avantageux, le revêtement possède deux plans de symétrie 10 et
11. Ces plans de symétrie sont perpendiculaires et leur intersection forme
l'axe du tube (axe 4).Reference is now made to FIGS. 5 to 8.
advantageous embodiment, the coating has two planes of
Les initiateurs 12 peuvent être au nombre de quatre, et être
positionnés sur la face du confinement 5 située en regard de du revêtement
6, de manière symétrique par rapport aux plans de symétrie 10, 11 du
revêtement. Le revêtement peut être lui-même symétrique par rapport aux
plans 10, 11. Ainsi, le chargement explosif détonne en formant une onde
symétrique par rapport aux plans 10, 11. Le revêtement étant lui-même
symétrique par rapport aux plans 10, 11, on obtient un noyau se propageant
selon l'axe 4, et symétrique par rapport aux plans 10, 11.The
On se réfère maintenant à la figure 9. Selon un mode de
réalisation avantageux, le revêtement a au moins une face 15 concave.
L'autre face du revêtement 16 peut être plane ou convexe (si le revêtement a
une épaisseur constante par exemple). La face concave 15 du revêtement
est avantageusement sphérique, torique ou ellipsoïdale.Referring now to FIG.
Advantageously, the coating has at least one concave face.
The other face of the

la face concave 15 du revêtement est égale au double de la longueur du tube
selon son axe 4 à plus ou moins 20% près.Advantageously, the average value of the radius of
Avantageusement, le revêtement referme toute la section du tube.
Il présente donc dans cet exemple une projection dans un plan horizontal
(plan perpendiculaire à l'axe 4) en forme d'ellipse 13. Ceci permet non
seulement de former un noyau avec une plus grande efficacité, mais aussi
de permettre d'avoir une surface de contact entre le revêtement et le
confinement qui n'est pas limitée par l'épaisseur du confinement (le contact
se fait avec la surface intérieure du confinement, et non avec un bord du
confinement).Advantageously, the coating closes the entire section of the tube.
It therefore presents in this example a projection in a horizontal plane
(plane perpendicular to the axis 4) in the form of an
Bien entendu l'invention ne se limite pas à cet exemple de réalisation. Le nombre d'initiateurs peut être différent. Le revêtement peut présenter une épaisseur variable.Of course, the invention is not limited to this example of production. The number of initiators can be different. The coating can have a variable thickness.
