Abstract

A shell comprises a propellant charge (4) which can be loaded into a gun loading area. The front of the shell (1) contains a substance (7) that gives off oxygen. Oxygen is released when the charge is ignited, so carbon monoxide formed in the charge area oxidizes to carbon dioxide. The oxygen delivering substance is located between the sleeve base (2) and the sleeve (3).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Geschützmunition mit einer Treibladung, die von einem geschlossenen Raum aus in den Ladungsraum eines Geschützes ladbar ist.The invention relates to gun ammunition with a propellant charge from a closed Space is loadable into the cargo space of a gun.

Beim Abbrand leistungsstarker Treibladungspulver, wie sie beispielsweise beim Verschießen von Panzermunition verwendet werden, liegt häufig eine negative Sauerstoffbilanz vor, d.h. der in dem Treibladungspulver gebundene Sauerstoff reicht nicht zur vollständigen Umsetzung des Treibladungspulvers aus. Dadurch treten in den Schwaden giftige Gase, und zwar insbesondere Kohlenmonoxid, auf. Beim schnellen Nachladen des Geschützes gelangen die giftigen Gase dann beim Öffnen des Verschlusses teilweise in den Kampfraum des entsprechenden Kampffahrzeuges und gefährden dessen Besatzung.When burning powerful propellant powder, such as when shooting used by tank ammunition, is often a negative oxygen balance before, i. the oxygen bound in the propellant charge powder is insufficient to complete Implementation of the propellant charge powder. This causes poisonous gases in the swaths in particular carbon monoxide, on. When quickly reloading the gun The poisonous gases then enter partially when opening the shutter Combat space of the corresponding combat vehicle and endanger its crew.

Aus der DE 20 36 670 A1 ist es bereits bekannt, zur Erhöhung der Leistung konventioneller Treibladungspulver mit negativer Sauerstoffbilanz flüssige Oxidatoren zu verwenden, welche in dünnwandigen Glaskapseln eingeschmolzen sind. Diese Glaskapseln sind in das Treibladungspulver eingebettet und werden aufgrund des während des Abschußvorganges entstehenden Druckes und/oder Temperatur derart beeinflußt, daß sie ihren Inhalt für die gewünschte Nachoxidation der Pulverschwaden freisetzen.From DE 20 36 670 A1 it is already known to increase the performance of conventional Propellant charge powder with negative oxygen balance to use liquid oxidizers which are melted in thin-walled glass capsules. These glass capsules are in the Propellants are embedded and due to during the launcher resulting pressure and / or temperature influenced so that they are their content for the release the post-oxidation of the powder swaths.

Durch die Einbettung der Oxidatoren innerhalb des Treibladungspulvers wird indessen nicht verhindert, daß patronenbodenseitig immer noch ein relativ hoher Anteil an Kohlenmonoxid entsteht, der dann beim Öffnen des Verschlusses des entsprechenden Geschützes teilweise in den Kampfraum des Panzers gelangt. However, by embedding the oxidizers within the propellant charge powder does not prevent the cartridge bottom side still a relatively high proportion of carbon monoxide which then arises when opening the shutter of the corresponding gun partially entered the combat area of the tank.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Geschützmunition der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei deren bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung auch bei hoher Feuergeschwindigkeit ein nur relativ geringer Anteil an Kohlenmonoxid in den Kampfraum des Kampffahrzeuges gelangt.The invention is based on the object gun ammunition of the type mentioned when used as intended, even at high fire speeds a relatively small amount of carbon monoxide in the combat space of the combat vehicle arrives.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, daß eine sauerstoffabgebende Substanz im heckseitigen Bereich der Munition angeordnet wird, so daß nach Schußabgabe insbesondere die im verschlußnahen Bereich entstehenden Kohlenmonoxidgase zu Kohlendioxid oxidiert werden und nach Öffnen des Verschlusses nicht mehr in den Kampfraum gelangen können.The invention is based essentially on the idea that an oxygen-emitting Substance is arranged in the rear area of the ammunition, so that after firing in particular the carbon monoxide gases which form in the region close to the closure to form carbon dioxide be oxidized and after opening the shutter no longer in the combat area can reach.

Vorzugsweise sollte die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz derart gewählt werden, daß sie den Sauerstoff zu einem möglichst späten Zeitpunkt freisetzt, damit sichergestellt ist, daß durch den Oxidator nur ein geringer Einfluß auf das Abbrandverhalten des Treibladungspulvers ausgeübt wird. Insbesondere darf kein Leistungsverlust mit der Verwendung dieser Substanz verbunden sein.Preferably, the oxygen donating substance should be chosen such that it Releases oxygen at the earliest possible time to ensure that it is through the oxidizer only a small influence on the burning behavior of the propellant charge powder is exercised. In particular, no loss of performance with the use of this substance be connected.

Insbesondere bei patronierter Munition hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz innenseitig im Bereich des Hülsenbodens angeordnet ist.Especially with cartridged ammunition, it has proved to be advantageous if the oxygen-emitting Substance is arranged on the inside in the region of the sleeve bottom.

Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der die Munition eine verbrennbare Hülse umfaßt, befindet sich die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz vorzugsweise zwischen der verbrennbaren Hülse und dem Hülsenboden und weist die Form einer Manschette auf.In an embodiment of the invention in which the munition is a combustible sleeve Preferably, the oxygen-releasing substance is located between the combustible Sleeve and the sleeve bottom and has the shape of a cuff.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der die Munition mit einem zentralen Treibladungsanzünder versehen ist, ist die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz als ringförmiger Körper ausgebildet, der am Unterteil des Treibladungsanzünders angeordnet ist und diesen ringförmig umschließt. In a further embodiment of the invention, wherein the ammunition with a central Propellant is provided, the oxygen-emitting substance is as annular Body formed, which is arranged at the bottom of the propellant charge igniter and this encloses annular.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den folgenden anhand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigen:

  • Fig.1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines hülsenbodenseitigen Bereiches einer erfindungsgemäßen patronierten Geschützmunition, bei der die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz aus einer am Hülsenboden anliegenden Manschette besteht, und
  • Fig.2 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des patronenbodenseitigen Bereiches einer erfindungsgemäßen patronierten Geschützmunition, bei der die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz aus einem ringförmigen Körper besteht, der am Unterteil eines Treibladungsanzünders angeordnet ist.
    • Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following with reference to figures explained embodiments. Show it:
  • 1 shows a first embodiment of a sleeve bottom side portion of a cartridge ammunition according to the invention, in which the oxygen-emitting substance consists of a voltage applied to the sleeve bottom sleeve, and
  • 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of the cartridge-bottom-side region of a cartridge-type gun ammunition according to the invention, in which the oxygen-emitting substance consists of an annular body which is arranged on the lower part of a propellant charge igniter.

    • In Fig.1 ist mit 1 der bodenseitige Bereich einer Patrone bezeichnet, die einen Hülsenboden 2 aus Metall und eine verbrennbare Hülse 3 umfaßt. Innerhalb der verbrennbaren Hülse 3 befindet sich Treibladungspulver 4, welches durch einen zentralen Treibladungsanzünder 5 anzündbar ist.1, 1 denotes the bottom region of a cartridge, which has a sleeve bottom 2 of metal and a combustible sleeve 3 includes. Inside the combustible sleeve 3 is propellant powder 4, which by a central propellant charge igniter 5 is ignitable.

    Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen dem Hülsenboden 2 und dem patronenbodenseitigen Bereich 6 der verbrennbaren Hülse 3 eine Manschette 7 angeordnet, die aus einer sauerstoffabgebenden Substanz besteht.According to the invention is between the sleeve bottom 2 and the cartridge bottom side area 6 of the combustible sleeve 3, a sleeve 7 is arranged, which consists of an oxygen-emitting Substance exists.

    Befindet sich daher die Patrone 1 in einem Geschützrohr (nicht dargestellt), so wird bei Schußabgabe zunächst das Treibladungspulver 4 mittels des Treibladungsanzünders 5 gezündet. Anschließend verbrennt dann die Hülse 3 und erwärmt die Manschette 7 so stark, daß diese beginnt, Sauerstoff im bodenseitigen Bereich der Patrone 1, und somit auch im verschlußseitigen Bereich des Geschützes, freizusetzen.Therefore, if the cartridge 1 in a gun barrel (not shown), it is at Firing initially ignited the propellant charge powder 4 by means of the propellant charge igniter 5. Subsequently, the sleeve 3 burns and heats the sleeve 7 so strong that this begins, oxygen in the bottom region of the cartridge 1, and thus in the shutter-side area of the gun, release.

    In Fig.2 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt, bei dem die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz als ringförmiger Körper 8 ausgebildet ist, der am Unterteil 9 des wiederum mit 5 bezeichneten Treibladungsanzünders angeordnet ist und diesen ringförmig umschließt. Die entsprechende Laborierung der Patrone 10 ist in diesem Falle besonders einfach, da der ringförmige Körper 8 lediglich auf den Treibladungsanzünder 5 aufgeschoben werden braucht.2 shows a further embodiment of the invention is shown in which the oxygen-emitting Substance is formed as a ring-shaped body 8, which at the lower part 9 of the is again arranged with 5 designated Treibladungsanzünders and this annular encloses. The corresponding laboratory of the cartridge 10 is special in this case simply because the annular body 8 is merely pushed onto the propellant charge igniter 5 will need.

    Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So kann die sauerstoffabgebende Substanz zur Reduzierung des Kohlenmonoxidgehaltes selbstverständlich auch bei nicht patronierter Munition eingesetzt werden. In diesem Fall wird nach dem Laden der letzten Teilladung (Treibladungsmoduls) ein entsprechendes Modul mit einer sauerstoffabgebenden Substanz in den Ladungsraum des Geschützes eingesetzt, welches z.B. nach Erreichen eines vorgegebenen Gasdruckes in dem Geschützrohr Sauerstoff abgibt. Um die Zündung der Treibladungsmodule nicht zu behindern, kann dieses Modul z.B. mit einem oder mehreren Zündkanälen versehen sein. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above limited. So the oxygen-emitting substance to reduce the carbon monoxide content of course also used for non-patronized ammunition become. In this case, after loading the last partial charge (propellant charge module) a corresponding module with an oxygen-emitting substance in the cargo space used the gun, which is e.g. after reaching a predetermined gas pressure in gives off the gun tube oxygen. To the ignition of the propellant modules not to This module can be used e.g. be provided with one or more ignition channels.
