Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une tête militaire, notamment à charge génératrice de noyau.The present invention relates to a military head, in particular to nucleating charge.
Le problème qui se pose pour les têtes militaires en général est d'assurer une liaison physique à travers le chargement explosif, en particulier pour permettre le passage d'informations, et ceci sans perturber l'efficacité de la tête. Ce problème est particulièrement délicat dans le cas d'une tête militaire à charge génératrice de noyau.The problem for military heads in general is to provide a physical link through the explosive charge, in particular to allow the passage of information, and this without disturbing the efficiency of the head. This problem is particularly delicate in the case of a head military charge generating core.
Une telle charge est en général de révolution autour d'un axe et
comporte de l'avant vers l'arrière le long de cet axe 7, comme représenté sur
la figure 1, un revêtement 4 destiné à être projeté, un chargement explosif 3
et une enveloppe de confinement 5. Pour une forme adéquate du
revêtement 4, on obtient un noyau, projectile solide animé d'une grande
vitesse lors du fonctionnement de la charge explosive. Pour mettre à feu
cette charge, il est prévu un dispositif d'amorçage 1 disposé axialement à
l'arrière de la charge. La directivité et la distance d'attaque d'une telle
charge impliquent qu'elle soit associée à un détecteur, 6 sur la figure 1, par
exemple une antenne millimétrique ou un détecteur infrarouge, qui
commande la mise à feu par l'intermédiaire de l'amorçage 1. II faut donc
assurer une liaison entre le détecteur 6 et la commande électrique du
dispositif d'amorçage 1, et ceci sans détruire la symétrie de révolution de la
charge sous peine de nuire fortement à l'efficacité de celle-ci
(déstructuration du noyau, diminution de la vitesse, ...)Such a load is generally of revolution around an axis and
comprises from front to rear along this
Dans une solution connue, comme par exemple dans la demande
de brevet anglais GB 2276436, on dispose les circuits électroniques
nécessaires à l'intérieur d'un masque 2 (Fig. 1) noyé dans l'explosif et qui sert
par ailleurs à la conformation des ondes de détonation. Cependant la
réalisation pratique est très délicate en ce qui concerne le positionnement du
masque, la tenue aux environnements de la charge en cours de fabrication
et les problèmes résultant de l'absence de découplage entre les fonctions
électronique et détonique. De plus, les liaisons entre détecteur 6, masque 2 et
amorçage 1 détruisent la symétrie de révolution de la charge 3, en particulier
en raison de la présence sur l'axe 7 du détonateur 1.In a known solution, such as in the application
GB 2276436, the electronic circuits are arranged
necessary inside a mask 2 (Fig. 1) embedded in the explosive and which serves
in addition to the conformation of the detonation waves. However the
practical realization is very delicate as regards the positioning of the
mask, the resistance to the load environments during manufacture
and the problems resulting from the lack of decoupling between functions
electronic and detonic. In addition, the connections between detector 6,
Le brevet US 3960085 décrit un système multiamorçage situé dans la charge explosive, chaque amorçage servant pour une portion d'explosif. Une autre solution consiste à faire transiter l'information par l'extérieur de la charge avec l'inconvénient des risques de pertes pour la transmission de signaux hyperfréquence, notamment en raison des courbures de ligne de transmission, et les inconvénients résultant de la nécessité de gouttières de passage le long de l'enveloppe qui augmentent le coût et le calibre de la charge.US Patent 3960085 describes a multi-boot system located in the explosive charge, each ignition serving for a portion of explosive. Another solution is to pass the information through outside the load with the disadvantage of risk of loss for the transmission of microwave signals, in particular due to curvatures of transmission line, and the disadvantages resulting from the need to passage gutters along the envelope which increase the cost and load rating.
L'invention a donc pour objet une tête militaire dont la structure permet de remédier à tous ces inconvénients.The subject of the invention is therefore a military head whose structure overcomes all these drawbacks.
Selon un premier aspect de l'invention, il est prévu une tête militaire du type comportant un chargement explosif présentant une symétrie de révolution autour d'un axe et des moyens d'amorçage disposés à l'arrière de la charge selon ledit axe, caractérisée en ce que ledit chargement est traversé par un canal axial s'étendant le long dudit axe, de manière à assurer le passage de liaisons entre l'avant et l'arrière de la charge, et en ce que lesdits moyens d'amorçage sont constitués par un dispositif d'amorçage multipoints comprenant au moins trois détonateurs disposés en dehors de l'axe.According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a military head of the type comprising an explosive charge having a symmetry of revolution about an axis and priming means arranged at the rear of the charge along said axis, characterized in that said load is traversed by an axial channel extending along said axis, so as to ensure the passage of connections between the front and the rear of the load, and in that said priming means are constituted by a multi-point ignition device comprising at least three detonators arranged outside the axis.
La combinaison d'un amorçage multipoints libérant un espace axial et d'un canal traversant axial assure un passage direct de liaisons entre l'avant et l'arrière de la charge sans détruire en rien la symétrie de révolution de celle-ci, donc sans nuire à son efficacité.The combination of a multi-point ignition release an axial space and an axial through channel ensures direct passage of connections between the front and rear of the load without destroying the symmetry of revolution of it, so without compromising its effectiveness.
Selon un aspect plus spécifique de l'invention, il est prévu une tête militaire à charge génératrice de noyau, comportant un chargement explosif délimité vers l'avant par un revêtement, à symétrie axiale par rapport audit axe, des moyens détecteurs disposés à l'avant de ladite tête devant le chargement explosif et des moyens électriques de traitement et/ou de commande disposés à l'arrière dudit chargement permettant la commande dudit dispositif d'amorçage, caractérisé en ce que ledit canal permet le passage au moins des liaisons électriques entre lesdits moyens détecteurs et lesdits moyens électriques de traitement et/ou de commande et en ce que lesdits détonateurs sont répartis de manière symétrique autour dudit axe.According to a more specific aspect of the invention, a head is provided military charge generating core, including explosive charge bounded forwards by a coating, with axial symmetry with respect to said axis, detector means arranged at the front of said head in front of the explosive charge and electrical means for processing and / or control arranged at the rear of said load allowing the control of said priming device, characterized in that said channel allows the passage at least of the electrical connections between said detector means and said electrical processing and / or control means and in that said detonators are distributed symmetrically around said axis.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaítront à l'aide de la description ci-après et des dessins joints où :
- la figure 1 représente le schéma d'une tête militaire à charge génératrice de noyau connue ; et
- les figures 2 et 3 représentent une tête militaire selon l'invention, vue en coupe longitudinale et de l'arrière.
- FIG. 1 represents the diagram of a military head with a known charge generating a nucleus; and
- Figures 2 and 3 show a military head according to the invention, seen in longitudinal section and from the rear.
Pour la simplicité de l'explication, on va décrire le cas d'une tête militaire à charge génératrice de noyau sans que cela soit limitatif de l'invention.For the simplicity of the explanation, we will describe the case of a head military charge generating the nucleus without limiting it to the invention.
La figure 1 qui représente le schéma d'une tête militaire connue a déjà été décrite dans l'introduction ci-dessus.Figure 1 which represents the diagram of a known military head has already described in the introduction above.
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent la solution selon l'invention
appliquée au cas d'une charge génératrice de noyau. Cette charge
comprend un chargement explosif 13 disposé dans une enveloppe de
confinement 15 et limité vers l'avant selon l'axe de symétrie de révolution 17
par un revêtement 14 permettant la création d'un noyau. Le détonateur 1 de
la figure 1 est remplacé par un dispositif d'amorçage multipoints comportant
trois détonateurs 11, 11', 11" répartis de manière symétrique à l'arrière de la
charge. Ces détonateurs sont disposés sur trois rayons à 120° (Fig. 3) et
définissent un cercle dont le rayon Ri est de préférence compris entre 0,1 et
0,5 fois le calibre. Bien entendu, on pourrait prévoir un plus grand nombre
de détonateurs pourvu que leur répartition reste symétrique vis-à-vis de l'axe
17.Figures 2 and 3 show the solution according to the invention
applied to the case of a nucleus-generating charge. This charge
comprises an
Par ailleurs, pour déterminer l'instant de mise à feu de la charge,
il est nécessaire de disposer en avant de la charge un détecteur 16 (par
exemple une antenne millimétrique). D'autre part des moyens électriques 21
de traitement du signal du détecteur16 et de commande de l'amorçage des
détonateurs 11, 11', 11" sont disposés à l'arrière de la charge. Dans
l'exemple représenté, ces moyens sont contenus dans une galette disposée
contre le fond de l'enveloppe 15. Ils pourraient également être disposés
dans une galette disposée au fond de l'enveloppe 15 entre celle-ci et le
chargement explosif 13, les détonateurs étant alors placés contre la face de
la galette tournée vers le chargement explosif. Les moyens 21 peuvent aussi
être disposés plus en arrière de la charge sans que cela modifie en rien le
principe de l'invention. Dans tous les cas, il est prévu selon l'invention un
canal axial 20 selon l'axe 17 traversant la charge 13 de part en part de
manière à constituer un passage par lequel peuvent passer les liaisons
entre le détecteur16 et les moyens électriques 21. Grâce au fait que le canal
20 est axial et s'étend le long de l'axe de symétrie 17, il ne perturbe
nullement les ondes de détonation au sein de la charge et donc l'efficacité
du noyau obtenu.In addition, to determine the moment of ignition of the charge,
it is necessary to have a detector 16 (for example,
example a millimeter antenna). On the other hand electrical means 21
detector signal processing16 and
Ce canal 20 peut être simplement un creux cylindrique laissé
dans le chargement 13 et débouchant sur des trous axiaux dans le
revêtement 14 et le fond de l'enveloppe 15. Ou bien il peut être constitué à
l'aide d'un tube creux cylindrique, par exemple métallique, comme cela est
représenté sur la figure 2. Ce canal 20 permet le passage de liaisons
électriques ou d'un guide d'ondes hyperfréquence. Il pourrait être constitué
par un guide d'ondes proprement dit autour duquel serait moulé le
chargement explosif, à condition qu'il soit prévu pour résister aux
environnements de la charge en cours de fabrication et aux contraintes lors
du lancement de la tête militaire.This
Une telle structure selon l'invention a de nombreux avantages liés en particulier à la combinaison d'une symétrie axiale conservée malgré la présence d'un canal de liaison et d'un amorçage multipoints :
- rendement énergétique de la charge amélioré par rapport à la solution classique, ce qui permet d'utiliser une hauteur d'explosif dans la direction axiale nettement réduite (dans un rapport supérieur à 2,5) ;
- séparation complète des fonctions détection et pyrothechnique grâce au passage axial direct qui conserve la symétrie de révolution. Ceci facilite la fabrication, l'intégration, le contrôle et la maintenance du système ;
- noyau de performance améliorée en raison d'une meilleure traínée aérodynamique d'où une moindre perte de vitesse sur sa trajectoire, ceci résultant notamment de l'amorçage multipoints qui permet de contrôler la formation d'ailettes ayant un rôle stabilisateur durant la phase de vol du noyau.
- energy efficiency of the charge improved compared to the conventional solution, which makes it possible to use a height of explosive in the axial direction markedly reduced (in a ratio greater than 2.5);
- complete separation of the detection and pyrothechnical functions thanks to the direct axial passage which retains the symmetry of revolution. This facilitates the manufacture, integration, control and maintenance of the system;
- improved performance core due to better aerodynamic drag resulting in less loss of speed on its trajectory, this resulting in particular from multi-point ignition which makes it possible to control the formation of fins having a stabilizing role during the flight phase of the nucleus.
Bien entendu, l'exemple de réalisation décrit n'est nullement limitatif de l'invention. En particulier, le canal axial peut permettre non seulement le passage de liaisons électriques mais aussi de liaisons mécaniques ou optiques entre l'avant et l'arrière d'une charge. Ceci peut avoir des applications aussi bien pour des charges génératrices de noyau que pour des charges militaires en général, notamment pour l'architecture de missiles.Of course, the example of embodiment described is in no way limiting of the invention. In particular, the axial channel can allow non only the passage of electrical connections but also of connections mechanical or optical between the front and rear of a load. This can have applications as well for core generating charges than for military charges in general, especially for architecture missiles.
