Description
Projectile explosif à enveloppe préfragmentée
d'efficacité accrue et procédé de réalisation.Explosive projectile with pre-fragmented envelope
increased efficiency and method of production.
La présente invention concerne les projectiles explosifs à enveloppe préfragmentée et en particulier un projectile explosif à enveloppe du type comprenant des anneaux métalliques préfragmentés, dtefficacité accrue. The present invention relates to explosive projectiles with a pre-fragmented casing and in particular an explosive projectile with a casing of the type comprising pre-fragmented metal rings, with increased efficiency.
On connaît les projectiles explosifs à enveloppes à anneaux métalliques superposés préfragmentés sur leur périphérie. Cependant, on constate que le confinement de la charge explosive de ces projectiles explosifs est rarement suffisant et qu'il provoque l'affaiblissement et même parfois l'arrêt de la détonation propre à faire exploser ledit projectile. Explosive projectiles with envelopes with superimposed metal rings pre-fragmented on their periphery are known. However, it can be seen that confining the explosive charge of these explosive projectiles is rarely sufficient and that it weakens and even sometimes stops the detonation capable of detonating said projectile.
L'invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient en améliorant le confinement de la charge explosive de ces projectiles, pour éviter notamment ces arrêts de détonation. The invention aims to remedy this drawback by improving the confinement of the explosive charge of these projectiles, in particular to avoid these detonation stops.
L'invention vise également à améliorer la répartition des éclats lors de l'explosion en ouvrant au maximum la gerbe d'éclats de telle sorte que la probabilité d'atteinte d'une cible donnée placée aléatoirement autour du point d'éclatement soit plus grande. The invention also aims to improve the distribution of the fragments during the explosion by opening the sheaf of fragments as much as possible so that the probability of hitting a given target placed randomly around the burst point is greater. .
L'invention a en effet pour objet un projectile explosif à enveloppe du type comprenant des anneaux métalliques superposés préfragmentés, caractérisé en ce qu'unie vue d'augmenter l'efficacité de son explosion, il comprend
- une gaine métallique de faible épaisseur, en contact adhérent très serré avec la face interne des anneaux et
- un relais d'amorcage de la charge explosive destiné à provoquer la détonation de cette charge, situé dans l'axe de l'enveloppe proche de la mi-longueur, à l'intérieur de la charge explosive principale.The subject of the invention is in fact an explosive projectile with a casing of the type comprising superimposed pre-fragmented metal rings, characterized in that, seen to increase the efficiency of its explosion, it comprises
- a thin metal sheath, in very close adherent contact with the internal face of the rings and
- an explosive charge initiation relay intended to cause the detonation of this charge, located in the axis of the envelope close to mid-length, inside the main explosive charge.
Le positionnement du relais d'amorçage de la charge principale dans l'axe, et à mi-longueur environ de la charge enfermée permet de répartir l'onde de détonation en amont et en aval du comprimé d'amorcage et contribue à ouvrir leangle de la gerbe d'éclats à lexplosion. The positioning of the priming relay of the main charge in the axis, and at about half the length of the enclosed charge allows to distribute the detonation wave upstream and downstream of the priming tablet and contributes to open the angle of the sheaf of explosions.
Le plaquage de la gaine sur la face interne des anneaux est réalisé de préférence par compression isostatique, hydraulique ou pneumatique, réalisée à l'intérieur de cette gaine. The plating of the sheath on the internal face of the rings is preferably carried out by isostatic, hydraulic or pneumatic compression, carried out inside this sheath.
Pour améliorer la vitesse des éclats, on peut revêtir lgensemble des anneaux d'une seconde gaine, de préférence métallique, plaquée très fermement sur la périphérie externe des anneaux. Cette seconde gaine peut encore être la membrane en revêtement externe de l'enveloppe du projectile explosif. To improve the speed of the flakes, one can coat all the rings with a second sheath, preferably metallic, pressed very firmly on the outer periphery of the rings. This second sheath can also be the membrane with an external coating of the envelope of the explosive projectile.
Le plaquage de cette gaine sur les anneaux est réalisé de préférence par compression hydraulique iso statique circonférentielle. The plating of this sheath on the rings is preferably carried out by circumferential iso static hydraulic compression.
Un exemple de réalisation d'un projectile explosif selon I'invention est décrit ci-dessous, à titre non limitatif et en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel:
- La figure unique est une vue en coupe partielle d'une enveloppe de projectile explosif selon l'invention.An exemplary embodiment of an explosive projectile according to the invention is described below, without implied limitation and with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
- The single figure is a partial sectional view of an explosive projectile envelope according to the invention.
Comme représenté sur cette figure, l'enveloppe du projectile explosif selon l'invention comprend un ensemble d'anneaux métalliques préfragmentés 1, à savoir dentelés à leur périphérie avec point faible de rupture entre chaque dent. Ces anneaux sont superposés coaxialement er forment la structure principale de l'enveloppe. As shown in this figure, the envelope of the explosive projectile according to the invention comprises a set of pre-fragmented metal rings 1, namely serrated at their periphery with weak point of rupture between each tooth. These rings are superposed coaxially and form the main structure of the envelope.
Une membrane métallique externe 2, de faible épaisseur et de résistance définie,revêt extérieurement lesdits anneaux 1. Cette membrane est plaquée très fermement à la surface de circonférence externe des anneaux, par exemple,par compression hydraulique isosta tique circonférentielle. An external metallic membrane 2, of small thickness and of defined resistance, externally coats said rings 1. This membrane is pressed very firmly to the surface of the outer circumference of the rings, for example, by isostatic circumferential hydraulic compression.
Une gaine interne métallique 3 de faible épaisseur revêt ltalésage interne de l'ensemble des anneaux 1. A thin metal internal sheath 3 covers the internal bore of all of the rings 1.
Le contact intime de la gaine 3 sur cet alésage est réalisé par expansion de la gaine au moyen d'une compression isostatique, hydraulique ou pneumatique à l'intérieur de cette gaine.The intimate contact of the sheath 3 on this bore is produced by expansion of the sheath by means of isostatic, hydraulic or pneumatic compression inside this sheath.
La membrane externe 2 et la gaine interne 3 contribuent conjointement à la parfaite cohésion des anneaux 1, l'un par rapport à l'autre, et apportent à l'enveloppe ainsi formée une certaine rigidité, propice à la propagation de la détonation. The outer membrane 2 and the inner sheath 3 jointly contribute to the perfect cohesion of the rings 1, one with respect to the other, and provide the envelope thus formed with a certain rigidity, conducive to the propagation of the detonation.
Dans la charge 4 est ménagé le relais 5 d'amorçage de la détonation, lequel est relié au détonateur 6 par un canal 7. Le relais 5 dtamorçage de la charge explosive est situé sensiblement au milieu de la charge explosive 4. In charge 4 is provided the relay 5 for initiating the detonation, which is connected to the detonator 6 by a channel 7. The relay 5 for initiating the explosive charge is located substantially in the middle of the explosive charge 4.
A l'initiation du détonateur 6, l'onde de détonation est transmise à travers le canal 7 au relais 5 d'amorçage, puis à la charge explosive 4 vers l'amont et ltaval de cette dernière. L'onde de détonation est ainsi quasi isotrope et l'angle dtouerture de la gerbe d'éclats résultante en conséquence est élargi.At the initiation of the detonator 6, the detonation wave is transmitted through the channel 7 to the ignition relay 5, then to the explosive charge 4 upstream and downstream of the latter. The detonation wave is thus almost isotropic and the angle of opening of the resulting burst of shrapnel is consequently widened.
La présente invention apporte ainsi un projectile explosif très vulnérant, sur et de grande efficacité. The present invention thus provides a highly offensive, high-explosive explosive projectile.
