Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a safety device, in particular to a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuze. Background Art

[0002] The micro-cluster UAV ammunition fuze is mainly used for micro-cluster UAV ammunition to ensure the safety of ammunition during storage, service handling, testing and use, and to detonate the warhead charge in time during combat to effectively destroy the target. Since both signals are remotely controlled, a mechanical structure is required as an actuator and as an on-off switch of the control circuit to ensure safety and correctness of the function.

[0003] In addition, the micro UAV fuze also needs to meet the requirements of miniaturization. That is, in a limited space, it is necessary to ensure the explosion-proof safety of the mechanical structure and take into account the on-off switch function of the circuit to meet the needs of miniaturized and lightweight UAV fuzes. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuze, which can realize the linkage of explosion-proof and circuit on-off and has high safety.

[0005] Specifically, the first aspect of the present application provides a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuze, comprising a slide and a cover plate, wherein an electric ignition head is provided at the bottom of the slide, and the electric ignition head is connected to the circuit; a cavity is provided between the cover plate and the slide, and a sliding component that can slide along the cavity is provided in the cavity; a locking mechanism is installed in the cavity, and the sliding of the sliding component is locked by the locking mechanism; the sliding component is short-circuited with the circuit, and when the sliding component slides, its connection with the circuit is disconnected.

[0006] According to a technical solution of a safety device applicable to a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuze of the present invention, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0007] The device controls the sliding of the sliding component through a locking mechanism to ensure that the sliding component will not slide accidentally when the lock is not released, thereby keeping the circuit in a short-circuit state and improving the safety of the device; by short-circuiting the sliding component with the circuit, the state change of the circuit from short circuit to conduction is bound to the sliding of the sliding component, and the conduction state of the circuit can be controlled by the locking mechanism.

[0008] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sliding component includes a slider, which is elastically connected to one end of the cavity through a sliding spring. When the locking mechanism is unlocked, the slider slides in the cavity under the elastic force of the sliding spring. This design can prevent the slider from accidentally moving during operation, thereby further improving safety and avoiding safety accidents caused by misoperation.

[0009] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a detonator is provided inside the slider, and a booster charge is provided on the top of the cover plate.

[0010] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when the slider slides to the extreme position, the electric ignition head, the detonator and the explosive transfer sequence of the booster are in an aligned state. The position of the detonator is controlled by the movement of the slider, so that the detonation sequence of the detonator and the booster is aligned, which simplifies the structure of the detonation device, reduces the components that need to be controlled separately, and improves the reliability and maintainability of the overall device.

[0011] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one end of the sliding block different from the sliding spring is elastically connected to a detection cap via a detection spring.

[0012] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cover plate is provided with a cover plate hole adapted to the detection cap. When the slide does not reach the limit position, the cover plate forms an upper limit for the detection cap, and the detection cap is always in a state of abutting against the cover plate. When the slide moves to the limit position, the detection cap will bounce into the cover plate hole under the elastic force of the detection spring, and the position of the slider is locked again.

[0013] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes an electric ignition tube and a shear column, the electric ignition tube abuts against the shear column, and the shear column is fixed in the cavity by a shear pin.

[0014] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a steel ball is provided between the shear column and the slider, and the front end of the slider has a slope, and the sliding of the slider is locked by the abutment between the steel ball and the slope. The electric ignition tube starts to work after receiving a signal, and the driving force generated by the combustion of gunpowder prompts the shear column to shear off the shear pin. After the lock on the position of the steel ball is removed, the steel ball also releases the lock on the slider component.

[0015] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the circuit includes a circuit board and a conversion switch, the conversion switch is electrically connected to the electric ignition head, and two wires of the conversion switch are connected to the two ends of the detonation sequence electric ignition head and are connected to the circuit at the same time.

[0016] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the circuit board is installed at the bottom of the slide, and an insulating plate is provided between the circuit board and the slide to prevent the solder joints on the circuit board from contacting the metal slide and causing a short circuit in the circuit board.

[0017] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the slider is connected to a short-circuit plate. When the slider is in an initial state, the metal contacts on the short-circuit plate contact the spring pins in the conversion switch. When the short-circuit plate maintains contact with the spring pins on the switch, the electric ignition head is always in a short-circuit state. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

More specifically, any of the following conditions satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application shall have the common meanings understood by persons with ordinary skills in the technical field to which this application belongs. The words "a", "an", "a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuse", "the" and the like used in this application do not indicate quantity restrictions and may indicate the singular or plural.

[0032] The words "connected", "connected", "coupled" and the like involved in this application are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The "multiple" / "several" involved in this application refers to two or more. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are an "or" relationship of a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuse. The terms "first", "second", "third" and the like involved in this application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects.

[0033] In the present application, the electric ignition head 10 and the conversion switch 17 are both connected to the circuit board 5, and the electric ignition head 10 is controlled by sending an electrical signal to the circuit board 5; and the electric ignition tube 15 is controlled by a separate electrical signal, and the shear column 14 is unlocked by connecting an electrical signal to the electric ignition tube 15.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a safety device suitable for a micro remote-controlled electromechanical fuze comprises a slide 4, a cover plate 1, an electric ignition head 10 and explosive charge 3. A cavity is provided between the cover plate 1 and the slide 4, a slide block 2 which can slide along the cavity is provided in the cavity, the electric ignition head 10 is mounted on the bottom of the slide 4 and connected to a circuit board 5 below the slide 4, the explosive charge 3 is arranged in the middle of the cover plate 1, a detonator 8 is connected to the tail end of the slide block 2, when the slide block 2 slides to the extreme position, the detonation sequence of the electric ignition head 10, the detonator 8 and the explosive charge 3 is in an aligned state, at this time, the electric ignition head 10 can be controlled by the circuit to detonate the detonator 8 and the explosive charge 3 in sequence.

[0035] In order to further improve safety and ensure the safety of service transportation, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an electric ignition tube 15 is provided in the cavity, and the electric ignition tube 15 is abutted against the shear column 14. The shear column 14 is fixed in the cavity by a shear pin 13. A channel is provided in the cavity, and a steel ball 12 that can move along the channel is provided in the channel. The front end of the slider 2 has a 45° inclined surface. When the slider 2 is in the initial state, the steel ball 12 is just stuck between the shear column 14 and the inclined surface of the slider 2. If the slider 2 wants to slide, it must push the steel ball 12 to slide into the channel, and the shear column 14 can prevent the steel ball 12 from sliding into the channel, locking the position of the slider 2, so that when the electric ignition tube 15 does not receive a signal, the explosion transmission sequence is in a flameproof state. In addition, the slider 2 is connected to one end of the cavity through the sliding spring 9, and the electric ignition tube 15 starts to work after receiving the signal. Under the driving force generated by the combustion of gunpowder, the shear column 14 is prompted to shear the shear pin 13. After the lock on the position of the steel ball 12 is removed, the slider 2 slides in the cavity under the action of the sliding spring 9.

[0036] Furthermore, a short-circuit plate 16 is installed on the slider 2, and a metal contact connected to the conversion switch 17 is provided on the short-circuit plate 16. The conversion switch 17 is connected to the circuit board 5. When the slider 2 is in the initial state, the spring pin on the conversion switch 17 contacts the metal contact on the short-circuit plate 16, so that the circuit is in a short-circuit state. At this time, the electric ignition head 10 cannot be detonated, ensuring the safety of service processing. When the slider 2 starts to slide, the short-circuit plate 16 is no longer in contact with the conversion switch 17. At this time, the electric ignition head 10 is no longer in a short-circuit state and can receive the next electrical signal and detonate at any time.

[0037] Preferably, the spring pin in the conversion switch 17 can freely expand and contract within a certain range. When the locking of the steel ball 12 by the shear column 14 is not released, the change of the position of the short-circuit plate 16 caused by any error of the slider 2 will not affect the contact between the spring pin and the short-circuit plate 16.

[0038] In the above embodiment, when the slider 2 slides under the force of the sliding spring 9, since the stretching distance of the sliding spring 9 is limited, when the sliding spring 9 is stretched to the extreme by the slider 2, the stretching force generated by the sliding spring 9 will cause the slider 2 to rebound. Therefore, in this embodiment, a detection cap 7 is installed at one end of the slider 2. Figure 3 As shown, the detection cap 7 is installed in one of the holes of the slider 2 through the detection spring 6, and a cover plate hole adapted thereto is opened on the cover plate 1, and the diameter of the cover plate hole is larger than the diameter of the detection cap 7. When the slide does not reach the limit position, the cover plate 1 forms an upper limit for the detection cap 7, and the detection cap 7 is always in a state of abutting against the cover plate 1. When the slide moves to the limit position, the detection cap 7 will be bounced into the cover plate hole under the elastic force of the detection spring 6, and the position of the slider 2 is locked again, thereby preventing the slider 2 from rebounding.

[0039] Preferably, in order to prevent the solder joints on the circuit board 5 from contacting the metal slide 4 and causing a short circuit in the circuit board 5, an insulating plate 18 is provided between the circuit board 5 and the slide 4. The solder joints on the circuit board 5 are separated from the slide 4 by the insulating plate 18 to prevent the circuit board 5 from short circuiting.

[0040] The safety device provided in the embodiment of the present application works as follows:

[0041] During the service and transportation stage, the movement of the slider 2 can be blocked by a manual pull pin 19 for disconnecting the circuit, which ensures that the circuit is disconnected and the explosion sequence is in a flameproof state. When the pull pin is pulled out, the fuse is completely controlled by the electrical signal. After receiving the first release electrical signal, the electric ignition tube 15 of the locking mechanism 11 starts to work. Under the driving force of the gunpowder, the shear column 14 is prompted to cut the shear pin 13. After removing the lock on the position of the steel ball 12, the steel ball 12 also releases the lock on the slider 2. At this time, the slider 2 is pushed by the sliding spring 9 to move to the other end of the cavity. After moving to the extreme position, the detection cap 7 pops out into the cover plate hole under the elastic force of the detection spring 6. At this time, the position of the slider 2 is locked again. The short-circuit plate 16 connected to the slider 2 is also away from the conversion switch 17 at this time, and the metal contacts provided on the short-circuit plate 16 are no longer in contact with the spring pins in the conversion switch 17. At this time, the detonation sequence of the electric ignition head 10, the detonator 8 and the explosive charge 3 is in an aligned state, and the electric ignition head 10 is no longer in a short-circuit state. After being connected to the circuit, it can receive the next electrical signal and detonate at any time.

[0042] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The above-mentioned embodiments are only examples, and the embodiments having the same structure as the technical idea and the same effect as the technical solution of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, without departing from the scope of the main purpose of the present application, various modifications that can be thought of by those skilled in the art are applied to the embodiments, and other methods of combining some of the constituent elements in the embodiments are also included in the scope of the present application.
