A projectile, particularly a practice round, has a projectile body that includes a hollow ogive that bursts upon striking the target into which marking material is inserted. The marking material is released when the projectile strikes the target and the ogive bursts. The marking material is covered by a protective cap that breaks when the projectile bursts on the target.

Description

HINTERGRUND DER ERFINDUNGBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Geschoss, insbesondere auf ein Übungsgeschoss, mit einem Geschosskörper, der eine beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf ein Ziel berstende hohle Ogive aufweist, in der ein Markierungsstoff, insbesondere ein Farbpulver aufgenommen ist, wobei der Markierungsstoff beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf das Ziel und nach Bersten der Ogive zur Markierung des Auftreffpunktes freigesetzt wird.The invention relates to a projectile, in particular a training projectile, comprising a projectile body which has a hollow ogive bursting on a target when the projectile impinges, in which a marking substance, in particular a colorant powder, is accommodated, the marking substance impinging on the projectile the target is released and after bursting the ogive to mark the impact point.

Bei einer Übungsmunition, z. B. einem Übungsgeschoss oder einer Übungsbombe, die selbst keine scharfe Sprengladung aufweist, ist es wichtig, den Ort des Auftreffens auf das Ziel kenntlich zu machen, damit optimale Übungsergebnisse erreicht werden.In a training ammunition, z. B. a practice floor or a practice bomb, which itself has no sharp explosive charge, it is important to make the place of impact on the target identified, so that optimal exercise results can be achieved.

Hierzu weist das Geschoss an der Spitze eine hohle Ogive auf, in der der Markierungsstoff, z. B. ein rötliches Farbpulver aufgenommen ist. Die Ogive ist aus einem Material, z. B. Kunststoff gefertigt, das beim Auftreffen auf das Ziel birst, wodurch das Farbpulver freigesetzt wird. Der Farbstoff wird in einem gewissen Radius um den Auftreffpunkt verstreut, wird zusätzlich durch Wind verweht und zeigt so deutlich den Auftreffpunkt optisch an.For this purpose, the bullet at the top of a hollow ogive, in which the marker, z. B. a reddish color powder is added. The ogive is made of a material, eg. B. plastic, which bursts when hitting the target, whereby the color powder is released. The dye is scattered in a certain radius around the point of impact, is additionally blown by wind and thus clearly shows the point of impact optically.

Geschosse der hier in Rede stehenden Art sind z. B. mittelkalibrige Geschosse mit einem Kaliber von 40 mm, die in einem Gurt montiert sind und aus einer Schnellfeuerkanone in Serie abgeschossen werden.Bullets of the type in question here are z. B. medium-caliber bullets with a caliber of 40 mm, in mounted on a belt and fired from a rapid-fire cannon in series.

Ein Beispiel für ein solches Geschoss zeigt die WO 03/048675 in den dortigen Figuren 1A und 1B. Das in dieser Anmeldung beschriebene Geschoss weist eine Ogive auf, in der ein Farbpulver und mehrere Behälter für chemolumiszente Komponenten aufgenommen sind. Beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf ein Ziel bricht die Ogive auf, sodass das Farbpulver freigesetzt wird. Gleichzeitig werden die Behälter mit den chemolumineszenten Komponenten ebenfalls aufgebrochen, sodass sich die darin enthaltenen Komponenten vermischen und Chemoluminenz erzeugen. Somit wird beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf ein Ziel der Aufschlagpunkt einmal durch das Farbpulver und zum Anderen durch den Lichteffekt aufgrund der Reaktion der chemolumineszenten Materialien markiert.An example of such a projectile shows the WO 03/048675 in the local ones Figures 1A and 1B , The bullet described in this application has an ogive in which a color powder and several containers for chemolumiszente components are included. When the bullet strikes a target, the ogive breaks open, releasing the paint powder. At the same time, the containers with the chemiluminescent components are also broken up so that the components contained therein mix and produce chemo-luminosity. Thus, when the bullet strikes a target, the impact point is marked once by the color powder and, secondly, by the light effect due to the reaction of the chemiluminescent materials.

Bei der Hantierung derartiger Geschosse, z. B. beim Eingurten, kommt es vor, dass durch Aufschlagen auf ein Hindernis die Ogive des Geschosses aufbricht so dass der Markierungsstoff, insbesondere ein Farbpulver, zumindest teilweise freigesetzt wird und das z. B. in dem Gurt befindliche Geschoss ausgetauscht werden muss.When handling such bullets, z. B. when nursing, it happens that breaks open the impact of an obstacle, the ogive of the projectile so that the marker, in particular a color powder, at least partially released and the z. B. located in the belt bullet must be replaced.

Schlimmer ist es, wenn z. B. das Schloss der Schnellfeuerkanone dejustiert ist: In einem solchen Fall kann die Ogive des Geschosse innerhalb des Schlosses aufgeschlagen werden, wodurch wiederum das Farbpulver freigesetzt und das Innere der Waffe durch diesen Markierungsstoff kontaminiert wird. Die Waffe muss danach zeitraubend gereinigt werden. Im Übrigen kann eine solche Dejustierung bei einer scharfen Munition, die ja aus der selben Waffe verschossen wird, zu einer Ladehemmung führen.Worse is it, if z. In such a case, the ogive of the projectiles within the castle can be opened, which in turn releases the color powder and the interior of the weapon is contaminated by this marker. The weapon must then be cleaned time-consuming. Incidentally, such a misalignment in a sharp ammunition, which is indeed fired from the same weapon, lead to a jamming.

AUFGABE DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bruch der Ogive mit gleichzeitigem Austreten des Markierungsstoffes zu verhindern.The invention has for its object to prevent breakage of the ogive with simultaneous leakage of the marker.

Eine weitere Aufgabe ist es bei einem Bruch der Ogive innerhalb eines Schlosses einer Waffe eine Kontamination der Waffe zu verhindern.Another task is to prevent contamination of the weapon in case of breakage of the ogive within a lock of a weapon.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG DER ERFINDUNGSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein Geschoss der eingangs erwähnten Art angegeben, in dessen hohler Ogive ein Markierungsstoff aufgenommen ist, wobei der Markierungsstoff mit einer beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf das Ziel berstenden zusätzlichen Schutzhaube abgedeckt ist, wobei zwischen der Ogive und der zusätzlichen Schutzhaube zumindest im Bereich der Geschossspitze ein Zwischenraum belassen wird.According to the invention, a projectile of the type mentioned is given, in the hollow Ogive a marker is added, wherein the marker is covered with a bursting of the projectile on the target bursting additional protective hood, wherein between the Ogive and the additional protective hood at least in the area the projectile tip is left a gap.

Durch die zusätzliche Schutzhaube ist der Markierungsstoff auch bei einem Aufbrechen der Ogive etwa bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung ausreichend geschützt, so dass kein Markierungsstoff austritt.Due to the additional protective cover, the marking material is sufficiently protected even if the ogive breaks up, for example, if handled improperly, so that no marking substance escapes.

Bevorzugt ist der Zwischenraum mit einem Füllmaterial ausgefüllt. Das Füllmaterial ist z. B. ein weicher Schaumstoff, der sich an der Innenwand der Ogive und der Außenwand der Schutzhaube abstützt. Das Füllmaterial dient im Wesentlichen dazu, etwaige Splitter beim Aufbrechen der Ogive aufzufangen, die ansonsten die Schutzhaube beschädigen könnten.Preferably, the gap is filled with a filler. The filler is z. As a soft foam, which is supported on the inner wall of the Ogive and the outer wall of the protective hood. Essentially, the filler serves to catch any splinters when breaking the ogive, which could otherwise damage the guard.

Wenn z. B. durch eine Dejustierung des Schlosses einer Schnellfeuerwaffe die Ogive im Schloss beschädigt wird, so wird die Waffe nicht durch austretenden Markierungsstoff kontaminiert; etwaige Splitter werden aufgefangen und es ist sogar möglich, dass das Geschoss einwandfrei abgeschossen wird.If z. B. by a misalignment of the lock of a rapid-fire weapon, the ogive is damaged in the castle, the weapon is not contaminated by leaking marker; Any splinters are collected and it is even possible that the projectile is shot down properly.

Im Vorhergehenden ist als Markierungsstoff nur ein z. B. rotes Farbpulver erwähnt worden. Es ist in vielen Fällen vorteilhaft, neben dem Farbpulver noch einen in der Nacht sichtbaren Stoff, z. B. ein chemolumineszentes Material zu verwenden, das in einem mehrere Abteile aufweisenden Behälter innerhalb des Farbpulvers angeordnet ist. Beim Auftreffen des Geschosses auf das Ziel wird dann auch der Behälter mit seinen Abteilen, in denen das chemolumineszente Material enthalten ist, aufgebrochen, sodass durch die Chemolumineszenzreaktion ein Leuchteffekt erzeugt wird. Mit einer solchen Kombination ist der Auftreffpunkt auf das Ziel sowohl bei Tag als auch bei Nacht sichtbar.In the foregoing, as a marker only a z. B. red color powder has been mentioned. It is advantageous in many cases, in addition to the color powder nor a visible at night fabric, z. B. to use a chemoluminescent material which is disposed in a multi-compartment container within the color powder. Upon impact of the projectile on the target and the container is then broken with its compartments in which the chemiluminescent material is contained, so that a luminous effect is generated by the chemiluminescent reaction. With such a combination, the point of impact on the target is visible both during the day and at night.

Der Behälter mit seinen Abteilen für chemolumineszente Materialien kann im Übrigen, wie dieses bereits in der EP-B1-1 183 494 vorgeschlagen ist, durch die Anfangsbeschleunigung und/oder bei Verwendung eines drallstabilisierten Geschosses durch die Zentrifugalkräfte aufgebrochen werden, so dass bei entsprechender Konstruktion des Geschosses dessen Flugbahn verfolgt werden kann. Da in dem vorliegenden Falle zwischen dem Äußeren der Ogive und dem das chemolumineszente Material aufnehmenden Behälter das Farbpulver gelegen ist, müssen geeignete Passagen innerhalb des Geschosses vorgesehen werden, damit das durch die Chemolumineszenz erzeugte Licht aus dem Geschoss geleitet wird. Hierzu können z. B. einige Bereiche des Geschosskörpers, so z. B. ein Drallband, aus transparentem Material sein, wobei dann das durch die Chemolumineszenz erzeugte Licht in einen Hohlraum des Geschosskörpers strahlt, der im Inneren des Geschosskörpers im Bereich des Drallbandes liegt. Auch geeignete optische Leiterbahnen aus transparentem Kunststoff sind hierzu möglich, wobei diese Leiter oder sonstige Passagen auch durch das Farbpulver zu entsprechend transparenten Bereichen des Geschosskörpers oder der Ogive geführt sein können.The container with its compartments for chemiluminescent materials can, moreover, as this already in the EP-B1-1 183 494 is proposed to be broken by the initial acceleration and / or when using a spin-stabilized projectile by the centrifugal forces, so that with appropriate design of the projectile whose trajectory can be traced. In the present case, since the color powder is located between the exterior of the ogive and the container holding the chemiluminescent material, appropriate passages must be provided within the shell to direct the light generated by the chemiluminescence out of the shell. For this purpose, z. B. some areas of the projectile body, such. B. a swirl band, be made of transparent material, in which case by the chemiluminescence generated light radiates into a cavity of the projectile body, which lies in the interior of the projectile body in the region of the swirl band. Also, suitable optical tracks of transparent plastic are this possible, these conductors or other passages can also be performed by the color powder to corresponding transparent areas of the projectile body or the ogive.

BESCHREIBUNG DER BEVORZUGTEN AUSFÜHRUNGSBEISPIELEDESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In Figur 1 ist eine Übungsmunition 1 im Querschnitt dargestellt, die ein Geschoss 2 aufweist, das in einer Patronenhülse 3 aufgenommen ist. Das Geschoss 2 weist einen Geschosskörper 4 mit einem der Patronenhülse 3 zugewandten Geschossboden 5 und einer vorderen Ogive 6 auf. In der Patronenhülse 3 ist eine Hochdruck-Treibkammer 7 angeordnet, in der eine Treibladung 8 vorgesehen ist, die nach Zündung durch ein Zündhütchen 9 abbrennt. Die Treibgase der Treibladung strömen über Überströmkanäle 10 in eine Niederdruck-Treibkammer 7a und wirken auf den Geschossboden. Bei Überschreiten eines bestimmten Gasdruckes in der Treibkammer bricht eine Sollbruchstelle S zwischen Patronenhülse und Geschoss auf, sodass das Geschoss 2 aus der Patronenhülse 3 ausgetrieben wird.In FIG. 1 a training ammunition 1 is shown in cross-section, which has a projectile 2, which is received in a cartridge case 3. The projectile 2 has a projectile body 4 with a cartridge case 3 facing the bullet bottom 5 and a front ogive 6. In the cartridge case 3, a high-pressure drive chamber 7 is arranged, in which a propellant charge 8 is provided, which burns after ignition by a primer 9. The propellant gases of the propellant flow over overflow 10 in a low-pressure propulsion chamber 7a and act on the floor of the floor. When a certain gas pressure in the drive chamber is exceeded, a predetermined breaking point S between the cartridge case and the projectile breaks, so that the projectile 2 is expelled from the cartridge case 3.

Das dargestellte Übungsgeschoss wird in der Regel aus einer Waffe mit gezogenem Lauf mit Drall verschossen, so dass am Geschosskörper 4 noch ein Drall- bzw. Führungsband 11 vorgesehen ist.The shown practice bullet is usually fired from a weapon with a drawn barrel with twist, so that on Projectile body 4 is still a swirl or guide belt 11 is provided.

Eine solche Übungsmunition aus Patronenhülse und Geschoss ist z. B. in dem US-Patent 5,936,189 beschrieben.Such a training ammunition from cartridge case and projectile is z. B. in the U.S. Patent 5,936,189 described.

Die Ogive 6 stützt sich auf einem Einsatz 12 im Geschosskörper ab, der senkrecht zur Längsachse A des Geschosskörpers 4 verläuft. Die Ogive 6 ist z. B. ein Kunststoffteil, ist im unteren Bereich zylindrisch und geht dann in eine gewölbeartige Haube z. B. in Form einer Kugelkalotte über. In dem hohlen Innenraum der Ogive 6 ist ein Markierungsstoff, in diesem Falle ein rotes Farbpulver 13 vorgesehen, das in einer Schutzhaube 14 aufgenommen und von dieser abgedeckt ist. Die Schutzhaube 14, die z. B. aus Polyethylenterephtalat (PET) ist, ist vollständig mit Farbstoff ausgefüllt und hat eine der Ogive etwa korrespondierende Form, d. h. einen unteren zylindrischen Teil, der eng an der Innenwand des zylindrischen Teiles der Ogive 6 anliegt und eine sich daran anschließende gewölbeartige Haube, die etwa parallel zu der Haube der Ogive verläuft. In diesem Bereich ist zwischen der Schutzhaube 14 und der Ogive 6 ein kleiner Zwischenraum 15 vorgesehen, der mit einem Füllmaterial 16 ausgefüllt ist, das sich auf der Schutzhaube 14 und der Innenwand der Ogive 15 in dem Gewölbeteil abstützt. Dieses Material 16 kann z. B. eine Platte aus einem weichen Schaumstoff sein, wie dieses in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Bei der Fertigung des Geschosses wird diese Schaumstoffplatte 16 in den Gewölbeteil der Ogive 6 eingelegt, wonach die Schutzhaube 14 mit dem eingefüllten Farbstoff 13 und dem Einsatz 12 in die Ogive eingesetzt wird.The ogive 6 is supported on an insert 12 in the projectile body, which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the projectile body 4. The Ogive 6 is z. B. a plastic part is cylindrical at the bottom and then goes into a vault-like hood z. B. in the form of a spherical cap over. In the hollow interior of the ogive 6 is a marker, in this case a red color powder 13 is provided, which is received in a protective hood 14 and covered by this. The protective hood 14, the z. B. from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is completely filled with dye and has one of the Ogive approximately corresponding shape, ie a lower cylindrical portion which fits tightly against the inner wall of the cylindrical portion of the ogive 6 and an adjoining arched hood, the runs approximately parallel to the hood of the Ogive. In this area, a small gap 15 is provided between the guard 14 and the ogive 6, which is filled with a filler 16 which is supported on the guard 14 and the inner wall of the ogive 15 in the vault part. This material 16 may, for. B. a plate of a soft foam, as this in FIG. 2 is shown. In the manufacture of the projectile this foam plate 16 is inserted into the vault part of the ogive 6, after which the protective cover 14 is used with the filled dye 13 and the insert 12 in the ogive.

Wenn, wie oben erwähnt, z. B. durch fehlerhafte Handhabe der Patrone oder durch eine Dejustierung des Schlosses der Abschusswaffe der Gewölbeteil der Ogive 6 des Geschosses 2 beschädigt wird, so wird durch den Abstand zwischen Ogive und der Schutzhaube gewährleistet, dass die Schutzhaube intakt bleibt und somit kein Farbstoff austreten kann. Der Schaumstoff hat im Wesentlichen die Funktion, etwaige Splitter der beschädigen Ogive davon abzuhalten, die Schutzhaube 14 zu beschädigen.If, as mentioned above, z. B. by improper handling of the cartridge or by a misalignment of the castle of the launching of the vault part of the ogive 6 of the projectile. 2 is damaged, so is ensured by the distance between the ogive and the protective cover that the protective cover remains intact and thus no dye can escape. Essentially, the foam has the function of preventing any splinters of the damaged ogive from damaging the guard 14.

In Figur 3 ist der Querschnitt durch ein Geschoss 2 mit einem Geschosskörper 4 und einer Ogive 6 dargestellt, wobei innerhalb der Ogive in einer Schutzhaube 14 ein Farbpulver 13 gelegen ist. Wie bei dem Geschoss nach Figur 1 ist zwischen der Schutzhaube 14 und der Ogive ein Zwischenraum 15 belassen, in den eine Platte 16 aus weichem Kunststoff eingelegt ist.In FIG. 3 the cross section through a projectile 2 with a projectile body 4 and an ogive 6 is shown, wherein within the ogive in a protective hood 14, a color powder 13 is located. As with the projectile FIG. 1 is left between the guard 14 and the ogive a gap 15 in which a plate 16 is inserted from soft plastic.

Auf dem Einsatz 12, der den Boden der Ogive 6 bildet, stützt sich ein Behälter 21 ab, in dem ein Innenbehälter 22 aufgenommen ist. In dem Innenbehälter 22 und in dem Raum zwischen dem Innenbehälter und dem Behälter 21 ist jeweils ein Material aufgenommen, die bei einer Vermischung mit dem jeweils anderen Material chemolumineszent reagieren. Sobald das Geschoss auf ein Ziel auftritt, birst die Ogive 6, so dass das Farbpulver 13 freigegeben wird; gleichzeitig wird der Behälter 22 aufgebrochen, so dass die beiden Materialien miteinander reagieren und ein Leuchtsignal abgegeben wird, das im Normallichtbereich oder ggf. im IR-Bereich liegen kann und weithin gut sichtbar ist.On the insert 12, which forms the bottom of the ogive 6, a container 21 is supported, in which an inner container 22 is received. In the inner container 22 and in the space between the inner container and the container 21, a material is respectively received, which react chemiluminescent when mixed with the other material. As soon as the bullet hits a target, the ogive 6 bursts, releasing the paint powder 13; at the same time the container 22 is broken, so that the two materials react with each other and a light signal is emitted, which may be in the normal light range or possibly in the IR range and is widely visible.

Wie in dem erwähnten US-Patent 5,936,189 angegeben, können die beiden Behälter 21 und 22 so ausgestaltet werden, dass sie bereits bei der Anfangsbeschleunigung des Geschosses und/oder bei der Drallbewegung des Geschosses gleich nach dem Start aufgebrochen werden, so dass die chemolumineszente Reaktion eingeleitet wird. Wenn das dabei erzeugte Licht nach außen aus dem Geschosskörper heraus geleitet wird, kann damit die Flugbahn des Geschosses verfolgt werden.As in the mentioned U.S. Patent 5,936,189 2, the two containers 21 and 22 can be designed such that they are broken open already at the initial acceleration of the projectile and / or during the swirling motion of the projectile immediately after the start, so that the chemiluminescent reaction is initiated. When the light generated thereby out to the outside guided out of the projectile body, so that the trajectory of the projectile can be traced.

Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, den Boden des Einsatzes 12 zumindest in einem Teilbereich 23 unterhalb der beiden Behälter 21 und 22 lichtdurchlässig auszugestalten, so dass das durch Chemolumineszenz erzeugte Licht z. B. in einen Hohlraum 24 des Geschosskörpers strahlt. Wenn man das im Bereich dieses Hohlraumes gelegene Führungs- bzw. Drallband 11 lichtdurchlässig gestaltet und die Wand des Hohlraumes 24 in einem Bereich 25 am Führungsband ebenfalls, so kann des Licht aus dem Hohlraum 24 nach außen austreten, sodass die Flugbahn des Geschosses nachts deutlich verfolgt werden kann.One possibility is to make the bottom of the insert 12 translucent at least in a portion 23 below the two containers 21 and 22, so that the light generated by chemiluminescence z. B. radiates into a cavity 24 of the projectile body. If the guiding or twisting band 11 located in the region of this cavity is designed to be translucent and the wall of the cavity 24 also extends in a region 25 on the guide band, then the light can escape out of the cavity 24 so that the trajectory of the projectile travels clearly at night can be.

Es ist natürlich möglich, auch andere nach außen führende Passagen für das Licht zu finden, das aus der Chemolumineszenz entsteht; so könnte z. B. der Einsatz 12 selbst lichtdurchlässig ausgeführt werden und bis zu lichtdurchlässigen Bereichen in der Wand des Geschosskörpers reichen, sodass das Licht ebenfalls von außen wahrnehmbar ist.Of course, it is also possible to find other outward passages for the light that results from chemiluminescence; so could z. B. the insert 12 themselves are translucent and extend to translucent areas in the wall of the projectile body, so that the light is also perceptible from the outside.
