Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to pyrotechnic detonators, and more particularly, to a detonator having onboard electronics and an ignition element that are mechanically connected to each other.
- The efficient use of explosives in mining operations and the demolition of structures often requires that many charges be placed in a predetermined pattern and detonated in a timed sequence. In general, timed detonation can be accomplished by detonators that use pyrotechnic delays, sequential-type blasting machines, and electronically programmable detonators. Some examples of detonators that have onboard electronics, i.e., electronics contained within the detonator itself, for processing an ignition signal from, e.g., a blasting machine, are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,173,651, 6,085,659, 6,079,332, 5,602,360, 5,460,093, 4,869,170, 4,819,560, 4,730,558, and 4,712,477, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- Such detonators involve soldered connections between the ignition element of the detonator to the onboard electronics, which presents at least the risk of damaging or detonating the ignition element. It is believed that hitherto this problem has not been addressed through the provision of a means to mechanically connect the ignition element to the onboard electronics in a detonator.
- It is an objective of the present invention to provide a means to mechanically connect the ignition element in a detonator to onboard electronics, thus eliminating the risk of making a soldered or similar connection in immediate proximity to the ignition element of the detonator.
- FIG. 1 is a top sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial top sectional view of the ignition element and connection portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is side view corresponding to FIG. 2.
- Referring to FIGS.1-3, a detonator utilizing an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Referring to FIG. 1, an
ignition subassembly 8 is placed inside of ashell 40 that may contain aprimary charge 36 and abase charge 38 loaded into its closed end. (A detonator shell is typically a metal cylinder 6 to 8 mm. in diameter and from 60-100 mm. in length).Subassembly 8 can then be secured in place in theshell 40, such as by placing an elastomeric plug or the like (seeelastomeric plug 46 and crimp 47 in FIGS. 5 and 6) in the open end of the shell and crimping theshell 40 to the plug, or other suitable method.Subassembly 8 may have a body portion formed of anencapsulation 31 and is preferably formed to snugly fit within theshell 40, preferably with features such as ridges or other protuberances formed to dampen vibrations to which the detonator may be subjected, generally in accordance with the teachings of U.S. Pat. No. 6,079,332. Some relevant teachings regarding encapsulation are also set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,079,332 and 4,869,170. - A header-based, or automotive airbag initiator-style,
ignition element 28 is shown in the embodiment depicted in the Figures, but a detonator according to the present invention may include any kind of suitable ignition element (e.g., matchhead-type). U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,274,252, 5,709,724, 5,639,986, 5,602,359, 5,596,163, 5,404,263, 5,140,906, and 3,971,320 are also hereby incorporated by reference herein for their disclosure concerning the construction of ignition elements based on a glass-to-metal sealed header feedthrough, including the types of pins commonly used. - As shown in FIG. 2,
ignition element 28 includes a header assembly with a sealed electrical feedthrough, comprising an eyelet 10 (preferably stainless steel), insulator glass 14 (preferably a glass such as a sodasilicate, e.g., 9010, that is chosen to form a compression seal with the eyelet and center pin, or less preferably a matched seal), a center pin 18 (preferably iron/nickel alloy), aground pin 20, and an igniter wire 12 (preferably a low energy igniter wire with a diameter of 10 to 20 microns). Theignition element 28 further preferably includes a charge can 26 that is preferably metallic and hermetically sealed to the eyelet at circumferential through-weld 16, with anignition charge 30 contained between thecan 26 and upper surface of the header, in tight contact withigniter wire 12. Aninsulator cup 27 may preferably be attached around thecan 26 so that, except forfemale connectors 52 that protrude from the input end of the subassembly, the entire outer surface ofignition subassembly 8 consists of insulating material, thus providing electrical isolation and vibration and environmental protection to the components within until such time as the subassembly is placed in the detonator shell. - Turning again to FIG. 1, it can be seen that a
circuit board 24 andelectronic components 25 are provided withinignition subassembly 8, to provide a means of triggering ignition of the ignition element based on the processing of an electrical ignition signal from a blasting machine or the like that supplies power and commands to the detonator. Such electronic components are well-known and preferably include means for imparting a programmable period of delay to the ignition, means for ESD and RF protection, et cetera. (Another preferred alternative is the use of an application-specific integrated circuit).Circuit board 24 andelectronic components 25 are preferably encapsulated together inencapsulation 31, and connected tofemale connectors 52 and to plug andcrimp connectors 50 atcontacts 22 through soldering or other suitable connection. - Suitable plug and
crimp connectors 50 that may be purchased off the shelf are suitable for use in an embodiment of the present invention like that depicted. Thus, after the plug andcrimp connectors 50 are attached to the circuit board 24 (or other electronics),pins ignition subassembly 28 are inserted within the openings ofconnectors 50, and a crimping tool is used to securely crimp theconnectors 50 topins connectors 50. After the plug and crimp connection has been made,ignition subassembly 8 can be completed by the provision ofencapsulation 31 around the circuit board, electronics, plug and crimp connectors, pins, and bottom of the ignition subassemblies. - Alternately to a plug and crimp connection, a standard off-the-shelf “Insulation Displacement Connection” (IDC) can be made, with or without insulation sheathing on the pins. IDCs may be soldered during circuit board assembly in conventional fashion. The
pins ignition subassembly 28 can then be inserted into an IDC and secured. - It should be noted that although the Figures depict embodiments including electronic components that receive, process, and deliver an ignition signal, such an ignition signal may alternately be received, processed, and delivered by a number of other well-known non-electronic or partly-electronic means, such as through the use of a shock tube to deliver an ignition signal to a piezoelectric device, column fuse delays, et cetera. It is noted that this detailed description of certain embodiments herein does not imply that such alternate embodiments are not within the scope of the invention.
- A preferred embodiment of a detonator having an ignition element and onboard electronics that are mechanically connected together, and many of its attendant advantages, has thus been disclosed. It will be apparent, however, that various changes may be made in the form, construction, and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred or exemplary embodiment thereof. Therefore, the invention is not to be restricted or limited except in accordance with the following claims.
