Description
DETONATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a detonation device, comprising detonation means and locking means, such that said detonation device is configured to detonate at least one explosive element by means of said detonation means, and further comprising a safety element by means of the locking means, configured to prevent accidental detonations. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a detonation system comprising at least one device and at least one explosive element as referred to. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the current state of the art, detonation devices are known to be used in various applications, such as recreational or sporting activities like airsoft games, which allow the detonation of explosive elements in the context of these activities, far removed from possible defensive or military applications. Therefore, these detonation devices are recreational weapons that allow a realistic recreation of game situations, but do not allow the real use of these elements in war or defensive applications. On the one hand, there are devices that allow the recreation, in games of the type mentioned, of various firearms or detonating elements, such as explosive grenades, which allow the simulation of an explosion without the use of real explosives. In particular, reusable explosive grenades are known, which allow the recreation of situations such as sounds, for example, impacts or explosions, or the emission of visual elements, such as gas or smoke. However, these explosive devices have limited functionality and are complicated to use, requiring the user's presence at the specific point where the device's explosion is intended to be recreated, which hinders the game's characteristics and the results obtained by the user or player. In particular, known explosive devices require manual assembly to load the explosive cartridges inside the devices, which slows down the assembly and makes it difficult for a user to properly load the device. In the case of airsoft games, this circumstance slows down the game, and prevents the user from being able to use the desired elements quickly and at the preferred moment of the activity. On the other hand, there are also devices that allow the emission of pyrotechnic elements, these positives being disposable and for single use, which makes obtaining these devices more expensive, making their manufacture, assembly and use more difficult. Additionally, known explosive devices in the state of the art lack safety systems, requiring the user to manually activate the device for its use, which does not allow for remote detonation at the required moment, and requires the user's presence to cause the impact of the corresponding grenade or explosive device. The present invention allows the aforementioned problems, which are not solved in the current state of the art, to be solved by means of a detonation device and system, which will be described below. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Thus, in order to obtain a detonation device that allows avoiding the drawbacks indicated above, the present invention is directed to a detonation device comprising means capable of causing, controlling and establishing an adequate detonation of at least one explosive element. Finally, the present invention also relates to a detonation system comprising a detonation device and at least one explosive element as indicated. Thus, the first inventive aspect relates to a detonation device, configured to detonate at least one explosive element, characterized in that said detonation device comprises a cylindrical body, extending along a longitudinal direction XX between a first face and a second face, and comprising: an interior camera, a first hole, which extends, along the longitudinal direction XX, between the first face and the second face, independent of and parallel to the inner chamber, and a second hole, which extends along a first transverse direction YY, transverse to the longitudinal direction XX, transverse to the first hole, where the second hole and the first hole intersect each other. This cylindrical body advantageously allows the device to be configured in a compact form, delimited between a first face and a second face, parallel and opposite to each other, and arranged, according to said first and second faces, in a longitudinal direction XX. In particular, said cylindrical body comprises a hollow inner chamber in its configuration, which allows the accommodation of one or more elements of said detonation device. Likewise, the cylindrical body comprises a first hole, parallel to the inner chamber, and passing through the length of said cylindrical body, that is, from the first face to the second face of said cylindrical body, according to the longitudinal direction XX. Additionally, the cylindrical body also comprises a second hole that extends along a first transverse direction YY, transverse to the longitudinal direction XX for a certain length, that is, the second hole being arranged essentially transverse to the first hole. On the other hand, the first and second holes are arranged in the cylindrical body in such a way that they intersect each other, that is, they cut each other, establishing a communication between both holes, so that it is possible to access the first hole from the second hole, and vice versa. In one particular embodiment, the first hole and the second hole are perpendicular. In one particular embodiment, the first hole and the second hole are cylindrical, establishing an intersection surface between them. Additionally, the detonation device according to the first inventive aspect also comprises a cylindrical drum, coupled to the second face of the cylindrical body, configured to rotate about the longitudinal direction XX, wherein said drum comprises a plurality of housings, each configured to house at least one explosive element, said housings being distributed radially on the drum, such that said drum comprises a plurality of predetermined radial positions about the longitudinal direction XX, based on the position of the plurality of housings relative to the cylindrical body, wherein each housing is configured to coincide with the first hole in at least one predetermined position of the drum. Thus, the detonation device comprises a drum, that is, a cylindrical element, which extends along the longitudinal direction XX and is coupled to the second face of the cylindrical body, and which comprises a plurality of housings, arranged in a radial arrangement around said drum. These housings are configured to, in an operational situation, house an explosive element in each of said housings. In a particular embodiment, the radial distribution of the housings is uniform around the longitudinal direction XX, which advantageously allows a homogeneous and balanced arrangement of the housings and, therefore, in the operational state of the present detonation device, of the explosive elements housed in said housings of the drum of the detonation device. The drum, in its operational position, is located on the second face of the cylindrical body, and is configured to modify its relative position with respect to said cylindrical body by rotating around said longitudinal direction XX. In this way, the drum can rotate with respect to the cylindrical body, so that in each movement it makes one of the housings coincide with the first hole, both being aligned according to the longitudinal direction XX, so that, advantageously, they communicate with each other, thus having access from the first hole to the housing and vice versa. In one particular embodiment, the first hole and the housing are of the same diameter. The alignment of each drum housing with the first hole defines a predetermined radial position of the drum, with respect to the cylindrical body, such that, in at least one of these predetermined radial positions, each of the housings is positioned essentially aligned with the first hole. In one particular embodiment, the cylindrical body further comprises an access, configured to allow access of an explosive element to the interior of a drum housing. This advantageously allows a user access to the interior of at least one drum housing, which in turn allows an explosive element to be inserted and / or removed in said housing during an operational situation. The present detonation device also comprises detonation means, configured to detonate at least one explosive element, comprising: a detonating element, housed in the first hole, wherein said detonating element comprises: a first edge, a second edge, and drilling means, located on the second edge, and configured to drill the at least one explosive element housed in the drum housing coinciding with the first hole, where the detonating element is configured to move inside the first hole along the longitudinal direction XX, between: a blocking position, where the detonating element is fully housed in the first hole and the first edge of said detonating element is in a position adjacent to the first face of the cylindrical body, and a release position, where the detonator element's piercing means are housed in the drum housing coinciding with the first hole, some first elastic means, housed in the first hole, and coupled on one side to the first face of the cylindrical body and on the opposite side to the first edge of the detonating element, and configured to: in the locked position, occupy a first loading position, keeping the first edge of the detonating element in the position adjacent to the first face of the cylindrical body, and In the release position, occupy a first thrust position, keeping the detonator element's piercing means housed in the drum housing coinciding with the first hole, Loading means, coupled to the first elastic means, configured to act on said first elastic means, modifying their position between their first loading position and their first thrust position. These detonation devices, in an operational state, allow a user to detonate at least one explosive element housed in its corresponding drum housing. In particular, the detonation means comprise a detonating element, which is housed in the first hole and which, in an operational state, is arranged in alignment with at least one housing and, where applicable, with the at least one explosive element housed in said at least one housing. The detonating element is configured, along the longitudinal XX direction, between a first edge and a second edge. It also includes piercing means, coupled to the second edge, and configured to pierce at least one explosive element in an operational state. In this way, the detonating element is configured to move, according to the longitudinal direction XX, along the first hole of the cylindrical body, in particular, between two positions: - a blocking position, or resting state, and - a release position, or detonation situation. Advantageously, these positions allow the detonating means to be in a state of rest, that is, in a position in which they do not interact with any explosive element when they are in their locking position, and in a detonation state, that is, in a position in which they interact with at least one explosive element when they are in their release position. In particular, the blocking position establishes the following requirements: - the detonating element is completely housed in the first hole, and - the first edge of the detonating element is positioned adjacent to the first face of the cylindrical body. This advantageously allows the detonating element, and in particular the drilling means, to not have access to the interior of a drum housing and, therefore, in an operational situation, to not have access to at least one explosive element housed inside said housing. In particular, the release position establishes the following requirements: - the detonating means of the detonating element are at least partially housed in at least one housing of the drum, in particular, with the drum housing that is aligned with the first hole of the cylindrical body, and - the first edge of the detonating element is positioned close to the second face of the cylindrical body. This advantageously allows the detonating element, and in particular the drilling means, to have access to the interior of a drum housing and, therefore, in an operational situation, to have access and contact with at least one explosive element housed inside said housing. Additionally, the detonation means also comprise first elastic means, also housed in the first hole and in contact with the detonating element. In particular, these first elastic means are arranged so that one of their ends is coupled to the first face of the cylindrical body, while their opposite end is coupled to the first edge of the detonating element, or which advantageously allows the detonating element to be moved along the first hole in the longitudinal direction XX. In this way, the first elastic means are configured to allow, advantageously, the placement of the detonating element in one of its defined positions in an operational situation, such that: - in the locking position, the first elastic means occupy a first loading position, holding the first edge of the detonating element in the position adjacent to the first face of the cylindrical body, and - In the release position, the first elastic means occupy a first thrust position, keeping the detonator element's drilling means housed in the drum housing coinciding with the first hole and, in an operational situation, with at least one explosive element housed in said housing. Likewise, the detonation means also comprise loading means, coupled to the first elastic means and configured to act on said first elastic means, modifying their position between their first loading position and their first thrust position. This advantageously allows a user, in an operational situation, to act on the detonating element from outside the detonating device, increasing accessibility to the interior and avoiding the disassembly of various elements of the detonating device, thus improving the user's use of said detonating device. In one particular embodiment, the loading means are configured as a loading cable, which advantageously allows greater accessibility, in an operational situation, of a user to said loading means from the outside, and greater ease of use of said loading means, in particular to establish, from the release position of the detonating element, its locking position. In one particular embodiment, the loading means are configured to be operated remotely, which advantageously allows for faster and safer operation of said loading means. In one particular embodiment, the detonation means further comprise damping means, which are housed in the first hole and in a position adjacent to the second face of the cylindrical body, that is, in a position close to at least one drum housing and, in an operational state, to an explosive element housed in said drum housing. Advantageously, these damping means are configured to, in an operational situation, dampen the contact between the detonating element and the explosive element housed in the housing coinciding with the first hole in the release position, as well as limit the entry of the drilling means into the interior of said housing of the drum. In one particular embodiment, the damping media are made of nylatron, which advantageously allows for more effective damping. Additionally, the detonation device also comprises blocking means, which include: a first locking element, housed in the inner chamber, comprising: a first end, coinciding with the first face of the cylindrical body, a second end, adjacent to the second hole, and a first channel extending, along the longitudinal direction XX, between said first end and second end, a second locking element, housed in the first channel and configured to move, along the longitudinal direction XX, between the first end and the second end, advance means, coupled to the second locking element, and configured to displace said second locking element within the first channel along the longitudinal direction XX, between: the locking position, where the second locking element is partially housed in the second hole and partially housed in the first channel, and the release position, where the second locking element is fully housed in the first channel, drive means, coupled to the feed means, and configured to drive said feed means, wherein said drive means comprise processing means, configured to connect to external equipment and to receive a drive signal, a third locking element, housed in the second hole, and configured to move in the second hole along the first transverse direction YY, between: the locking position, where the third locking element is in contact with the detonating element, maintaining its position inside the first hole, and with the second locking element, maintaining its position inside the second hole, and the release position, wherein the third locking element is configured to lock, in the locking position, the detonating element and the second locking element, and to release, in the release position, the detonating element and the second locking element, and where the drive means are configured to drive the advance means, thus allowing the sequential drive of the third locking element, the second locking element and the detonating element. Thus, these locking means are configured by a first locking element, which extends along the longitudinal direction XX and is located between a first end, coinciding with the first face of the cylindrical body, and a second end, adjacent to the second hole of the cylindrical body. Likewise, the first locking element also comprises a first channel, which extends, according to the longitudinal direction XX, between said first end and second end, and which is essentially parallel to the first hole of the cylindrical body and, therefore, essentially transverse to the second hole of said cylindrical body. In one particular embodiment, the first channel of the locking means is parallel to the first hole of the cylindrical body, which advantageously allows a more efficient arrangement of the elements inside said cylindrical body. On the other hand, the locking means also comprise a second locking element, which is housed in the first channel of the first locking element, and which is configured to move, along the longitudinal direction XX, through the first channel, between the first end and the second end of the first locking element. Additionally, the locking means also comprise advance means, coupled to the second locking element, and configured to move said second locking element inside the first channel along the longitudinal XX direction. That is, these means of advancement allow, advantageously, and through their connection with the second locking element, the modification of the position of said second locking element between the following positions: - the locking position of the detonating element, wherein the second locking element is partially housed in the second hole and partially housed in the first channel of the first locking element, and - the release position of the detonating element, where the second locking element is fully housed in the first channel of the first locking element. In one particular embodiment, the advance means are configured as a ratchet, which advantageously allows greater control of the position of the second locking element. In one particular embodiment, the connection between the advance means and the second locking element is a mechanical connection, which advantageously allows greater control of said displacement and, therefore, greater control by the user of the position of the second locking element. On the other hand, the locking means also comprise actuating means, coupled to the feed means, and configured to actuate said feed means. That is, these drive means allow, advantageously, to act on these advance means, so that these in turn act on the second locking element, thus establishing a kinematic chain that allows the change of position of said second locking element. Furthermore, these drive means comprise processing means, configured to connect with external equipment and to receive a drive signal, which advantageously allows the drive means, and therefore the second locking element, to be operated remotely and / or automatically. In one particular embodiment, the drive means are a motor, which advantageously allows continuous drive of the feed means. Additionally, the locking means also comprise a third locking element, which is housed in the second hole of the cylindrical body, and configured to move along the first transverse YY direction along said second hole. In particular, this third locking element is configured to assume different positions, where, specifically: - in the detonating element's locking position, the third locking element is in contact with said detonating element, maintaining its position inside the first hole, as well as with the second locking element, maintaining its position inside the second hole, and - In the detonator release position, the third blocking element is fully housed in the second hole, without coming into contact with the detonator element or the second blocking element, both of which are away from the third blocking element. In particular, the third locking element is configured to lock, in the locking position, the detonating element and the second locking element, and to release, in the release position, the detonating element and the second locking element, which advantageously allows said locking and release positions to meet, respectively, the stated requirements. Likewise, the drive means are configured to drive the advance means, thus allowing the sequential drive of the third locking element, the second locking element and the detonating element. This advantageously allows a combined and sequential movement of the elements that make up the detonation device, which, in an operational situation, is configured to allow an interaction between said elements, which move and change their position in a conditional manner, through the following of a kinematic chain. That is, in an operational situation, in the locked position, the detonating element is locked and away from possible interaction with an explosive element housed in a drum compartment, by the locking of its position by the third locking element of the locking means, which in turn maintain their position by the locking exerted by the second locking element on said third locking element. Likewise, in the operational situation, in the release position, the actuating means actuate the advance means, which force the second locking element to change its position, thus releasing the third locking element, which in turn releases the detonating element, allowing said detonating element to advantageously interact with an explosive element housed in a housing of the drum, in particular with the housing aligned with the first hole where said detonating element is housed. The loading means of the detonation means allow, in an operational situation, the restoration of the locking position of the detonating element, which in turn restores the position of the rest of the elements of the detonation device in accordance with the locking position of the detonating element. In one particular embodiment, the third locking element is configured by a plurality of balls, which advantageously allows for more efficient locking of the second locking element. In one particular embodiment, the detonating device further comprises an auxiliary drum, attached to the first face of the cylindrical body, configured to cover the first channel of the locking means and the first hole of the cylindrical body. Advantageously, this allows for greater protection of the elements housed inside the cylindrical body, as well as greater safety for the user in an operational situation. In one particular embodiment, the locking means further comprise second elastic means, located inside the second hole and in contact with the third locking element, which advantageously allows efficient regulation of the respective position of said third locking element. In particular, the second elastic media are configured to: - in the detonator element's locking position, occupy a second thrust position, keeping the third locking element in contact with the detonator element inside the first hole, and - In the detonator element release position, occupy a second loading position, keeping the third locking element in a position away from the first hole. This advantageously allows for greater safety in maintaining the locking position of said detonating element, through the maintained position of the second elastic means and, consequently, of the third locking means. In one particular embodiment, the locking means further comprise third elastic means, housed in the first channel, in contact with the second locking element, and configured to modify the position of said locking element between the locking position and the release position of the detonating element. Advantageously, this allows for greater control over the position of the second locking element. A second inventive aspect relates to a detonation system, characterized in that it comprises: - a detonation device according to the first inventive aspect, and - at least one explosive element. Advantageously, a system like the one indicated allows, in an operational situation, its use by a user during an activity, for example, during an airsoft game. In a particular embodiment, the detonating element of the detonating means of the detonating device is configured to detonate at least one explosive element inside the corresponding housing, in its release position, so that said explosive element releases smoke. This advantageously allows the present release device to be used as an explosive grenade, in the context of an activity such as, for example, during an airsoft game by a user. In one particular embodiment, at least one explosive element is a blank cartridge, which advantageously allows for safe use of the present detonation system.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Figures 1A - 1B show, respectively, a perspective view and a bottom plan view of a first embodiment of a detonation device (1) according to the invention, said detonation device (1) being a grenade for use in recreational and sporting activities, such as airsoft games, carried by a user who places it in the appropriate location and, remotely, detonates it so that said detonation device (1) expels effects such as smoke, sound, lights, etc. to simulate and / or recreate combat situations appropriate for the corresponding game, its use in real defensive activities not being possible. In particular, Figure 1A shows a detonation device (1) comprising a cylindrical body (1.1), a drum (1.2) and an auxiliary drum (1.6), all of cylindrical configuration, and arranged along a longitudinal direction XX. As can be seen in Figure 1A, the cylindrical body (1.1) comprises a first face (1.1.1), where the auxiliary drum (1.6) is attached, and a second face (1.1.2), where the drum (1.2) is attached. The cylindrical body (1.1) in turn comprises, at an intermediate point, located between the first face (1.1.1) and the second face (1.1.2), an access (1.1.6), in the form of a cylindrical recess and an opening that communicates with the interior of the drum (1.2). On the other hand, the present figure also shows loading means (1.3.3) in the form of a loading cable, which project above the auxiliary drum (1.6) and emerge from the interior of said auxiliary drum (1.6), providing the interior of the cylindrical body (1.1). Likewise, Figure 1B shows the drum (1.2) and a plurality of housings (1.2.1), arranged radially and homogeneously on said drum (1.2) of cylindrical geometry. Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the detonation device (1) of Figures 1A and 1B, so that a cross-section is observed, through a central plane of said detonation device (1), so that the elements located inside the cylindrical body (1.1) and the drum (1.2) are observed. In particular, Figure 2 shows the sectioned detonation device (1), in such a way that the coupling between the second face (1.1.2) of the cylindrical body (1.1) and the drum (1.2) can be observed, as well as between the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1) and the auxiliary drum (1.6), above which the loading means (1.3.3) of the detonation means (1.3) protrude. Also visible inside the cylindrical body (1.1) is the inner chamber (1.1.3), which houses the locking means (1.4), as well as the first hole (1.1.4), passing from the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1) to the second face (1.1.2) of the cylindrical body (1.1), and coinciding with a housing (1.2.1) of the drum (1.2), as shown. The main body (1.1) also shows a second hole (1.1.5), transverse to the first hole (1.1.5) and intersecting with it. In particular, the second hole (1.1.5) houses the third locking element (1.4.5) as well as the second elastic means (1.4.6) of the locking means (1.4), both in connection. On the other hand, the first hole (1.1.4) houses the detonation means (1.3), particularly the first elastic means (1.3.2) adjacent to the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1), and the detonating element (1.3.1), coupled to said first elastic means (1.3.2). Additionally, the detonating element (1.3.1) is supported on the third locking element (1.4.5), and is therefore in the locked position, leaving the drilling means (1.3.1.3) away from the housing (1.2.1) of the drum (1.2) correspondingly aligned with the first hole (1.1.4), as well as from the damping means (1.3.4), located adjacent to the second face (1.1.2) of the cylindrical body (1.1). Figure 2 also shows, in the inner chamber (1.1.3), the first locking element (1.4.1), where its first end (1.4.1.1) is aligned with the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1) and its second end (1.4.1.2) is positioned adjacent to the second hole (1.1.5). The processing means (1.4.4.1) of the drive means (1.4.4) are also located in the inner chamber (1.1.3), as well as the second locking element (1.4.2), housed in the first channel (1.4.1.3) of the first locking element (1.4.1). Likewise, it can also be seen how said second locking element (1.4.2) is partially housed in the second hole (1.1.5), and in contact with the third locking element (1.4.5), in particular, introducing part of its geometry between the spherical elements that make up said third locking element (1.4.5). Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the detonation device (1) from Figures 1A and 1B, and Figure 2. In particular, Figure 3 shows the longitudinal direction XX and the first transverse direction YY, according to which said detonation device (1) extends, as well as, as in the case of Figure 2, a cylindrical body (1.1), a drum (1.2) and an auxiliary drum (1.6), all of them of cylindrical configuration, and arranged according to said longitudinal direction XX. Additionally, Figure 3 also shows the coupling between the second face (1.1.2) of the cylindrical body (1.1) and the drum (1.2), as well as between the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1) and the auxiliary drum (1.6), in this case showing a plurality of housings (1.2.1) in the drum (1.2). Likewise, this section shows, inside the cylindrical body (1.1), the first locking element (1.4.1) of the locking means (1.4), on which the advance means (1.4.3) are also coupled, in the form of a ratchet, and the drive means (1.4.4), coupled to said ratchet. Figures 4A and 4B show, respectively, a perspective view and a cross-section of a first embodiment of a detonation system (S) according to the invention. In particular, Figure 4A shows a detonation device (1) composed of a cylindrical body (1.1), which extends longitudinally along the longitudinal direction XX, and a drum (1.2), coupled to the second face (1.1.2) of said cylindrical body (1.1), in which a plurality of housings (1.2.1) that house an explosive element (E) are observed. The present figure also shows detonation means (1.3), configured by means of a detonating element (1.3.1), housed in the first hole (1.1.4) of the cylindrical body (1.1), and delimited by a first edge (1.3.1.1) and a second edge (1.3.1.2), where perforation means (1.3.1.3) are coupled, in the form of a needle point. Likewise, the first edge (1.3.1.1) of the detonating element (1.3.1) is housed in some first elastic means (1.3.2), in this case a compression spring, which are in turn located in a position adjacent to the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1), and connected to some loading means (1.3.3), in the form of a loading cable, which protrudes above the auxiliary drum (1.6), not shown in the present figure. On the other hand, the present figure 4A also shows the inner chamber (1.1.3) of the cylindrical body (1.1), where a first locking element (1.4.1) is housed, which extends along the longitudinal direction XX between a first end (1.4.1.1), coinciding with the first face (1.1.1) of the cylindrical body (1.1), and a second end (1.4.1.2), adjacent to the second hole (1.1.5), and where a first channel (1.4.1.3) is distinguished, defined between said first end (1.4.1.1) and second end (1.4.1.2). Also shown inside the first channel (1.4.1.3) is a second locking element (1.4.2), embraced by and in contact with third elastic means (1.4.7), in the form of a compression spring. The second locking element (1.4.2) is connected to advance means (1.4.3), in the form of a ratchet, and these, in turn, to drive means (1.4.4), in the form of a motor, which in turn has processing means (1.4.4.1), being in this case a processor. Said second locking element (1.4.2) is partially housed in the second hole (1.1.5) of the cylindrical body (1.1), where it contacts a third locking element (1.4.5), in the form of spherical elements that lock its position by contact with the end of said second locking element (1.4.2) housed in the second hole (1.1.5). Likewise, some secondary elastic means (1.4.6) are also observed, in the form of a compression spring, which maintain the position of said third locking element (1.4.5) and, therefore, of said second locking element (1.4.2), in the locking position, thus, as can be seen, the detonator element (1.3.1) being supported and, therefore, locked, by said third locking element (1.4.5), which extends to the intersection of the first hole (1.1.4) and the second hole (1.1.5). Figure 4B shows the same detonation system (S) as the previous Figure 4A, this time in cross-section, where the arrangement of the detonation means (1.3) and the blocking means (1.4) can again be observed. In particular, the cylindrical body (1.1) is shown in Figure 4B, coupled by means of its second face (1.1.2) to the drum (1.2), which in turn shows a plurality of housings (1.2.1) in which an explosive element (E) is housed in each of said housings (1.2.1), which are arranged uniformly radially around the drum (1.2).
