[0025] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a bullet seat 1010 according to an example embodiment of the present application. The bullet seat 10 can include a large end cavity 11 and a small end cavity 12.

[0026] The big-end cavity 11 is a cylindrical cavity with one end closed and the other end open, and the open end is used to connect with the wind cap 30. The small-end cavity 12 is a cylindrical cavity, and the outer side of the cylindrical cavity is provided with an annular groove 13, and a plurality of flow guide holes 14 are arranged in the annular groove 13 along the circumferential direction and penetrate the bottom of the annular groove 13; the end face of the annular groove 13 close to the closed end of the big-end cavity 11 is connected with the closed end, and the central axis of the small-end cavity 12 is the same as the central axis of the big-end cavity 11, and the outer diameter of the small-end cavity 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the big-end cavity 11.

[0027] In the embodiment, the connection between the open end of the big-end cavity 11 and the wind cap 30 can be welding, can also be threaded connection, can also be adhesive connection, and the embodiment is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of the threaded connection, the open end is provided with internal threads, the wind cap 30 is provided with external threads, and the internal threads of the open end are connected with the external threads of the wind cap 30 to achieve threaded connection.

[0028] In the embodiment, the bottom of the annular groove 13 is provided with a plurality of flow guide holes 14. In actual application, one end of the flow guide hole 14 is directed to the gunpowder in the big-end cavity 11. Thus, after the gunpowder is ignited, the gunpowder gas jet is uniformly guided into the inside of the belt through the flow guide hole 14, and the belt tightly abuts against the outer barrel under the overflow effect of the gas. Even if the outer side of the belt is worn, the gas will further compensate for the gap between the belt and the barrel caused by the wear to further abut against the inside of the belt, so that the belt and the barrel are kept in interference fit.

[0029] In order to further ensure that the gunpowder gas fills the annular groove 13 and the belt and acts on the inside of the belt, in some embodiments, the flow guide hole 14 is a trapezoidal hole, and the large hole of the flow guide hole 14 is close to the annular groove 13. In the embodiment, the large hole of the flow guide hole 14 is close to the annular groove 13, and the small hole is close to the inner cavity of the small-end cavity 12. In the embodiment, when the gunpowder gas flows into the gap between the belt and the flow guide hole 14, the flow direction of the gunpowder gas is changed due to the resistance of the belt, and the gas backflow is generated, which increases the gas pressure that hinders the gunpowder gas from flowing into the gap. Based on this, the flow guide hole 14 can be designed as a trapezoidal hole to increase the gap between the flow guide hole and the belt, and to increase the contact surface between the belt and the gunpowder gas, so as to avoid the instantaneous local action of the gunpowder gas and the inner surface of the nylon belt as much as possible, which causes the nylon belt to not expand uniformly and affects the sealing effect.

[0030] In other embodiments, the flow guide hole 14 is a stepped hole, and the hole diameter of the stepped hole close to the annular groove 13 is greater than the hole diameter of the stepped hole close to the inner cavity of the small-end cavity 12. In this way, the gunpowder gas fills the annular groove 13 and the inside of the belt and acts on the inside of the belt, so that the gunpowder gas always abuts against the inside of the belt and is not affected by the wear of the belt.

[0031] After the projectile is loaded and fired, a large amount of high-temperature, high-pressure propellant gas is generated behind the projectile base 10. This propellant gas rapidly enters the gap between the guide hole 14 and the nylon cartridge band through the guide hole 14. The propellant gas interacts momentarily and locally with the inner surface of the nylon cartridge band, causing the nylon cartridge band to expand unevenly, affecting the sealing effect. Therefore, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the annular groove 13 has a gas cavity groove 15 at the groove surface covering the guide hole 14. The gas cavity groove 15 has a width greater than the diameter of the orifice of the guide hole 14 near the annular groove 13 and smaller than the width of the annular groove 13. The gas cavity groove 15 has a depth to ensure that the propellant gas fills the gap between the gas cavity groove 15 and the bullet belt evenly and acts on the inner side of the bullet belt. This avoids the instantaneous local interaction between the propellant gas and the inner surface of the nylon bullet belt, so that the propellant gas can act evenly on the inner side of the bullet belt. This ensures that the outer side of the bullet belt is in full contact with the inner side of the barrel. Even if the bullet belt wears due to the high-speed friction of the projectile, it can still support the bullet belt to further press against the barrel so that it is not affected by the wear of the bullet belt. As can be seen, after the projectile is loaded and fired, a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure propellant gas is generated behind the projectile base 10. The generated propellant gas quickly enters the gas cavity groove 15 through the guide hole 14. The gas cavity groove 15 can prevent the propellant gas from interacting with the inner surface of the nylon bullet belt momentarily and locally, which would cause the nylon bullet belt to expand unevenly and affect the sealing effect.

[0032] To prevent insufficient propellant gas pressure from causing the cartridge band to not maintain a constant interference fit with the barrel, in some embodiments, a movable locking plate is provided near the opening of the annular groove 13 at the guide hole 14. When the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band is less than the internal air pressure in the small end cavity 12, the movable locking plate is in the open state; when the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band is greater than or equal to the internal air pressure in the small end cavity 12, the movable locking plate is in the closed state. In this way, the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band can always maintain support for the cartridge band to further press against the barrel. Even if the cartridge band wears down, and the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band decreases due to increased space, the movable locking plate will be opened again when the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band is less than the internal air pressure in the small end cavity 12, thus further compensating for the air pressure between the gas chamber groove 15 and the cartridge band.

[0033] In some embodiments, the cartridge belt can be made of nylon with a thermoplasticity above a threshold, allowing the belt to undergo significant plastic flow to maintain a precise bond with the barrel. Furthermore, nylon cartridge belts cause less wear on the barrel compared to traditional extruded metal cartridge belts.

[0034] It can be seen that the bullet seat 10 provided by the embodiment is applied, the annular groove 13 of the small-end cavity 12 in the bullet seat 10 is provided with a plurality of flow guide holes 14, so that a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure propellant gas is generated at the rear of the bullet seat 10 after the bullet is filled and fired, the generated propellant gas rapidly enters the gap between the belt and the annular groove 13 through the flow guide holes 14, so that the propellant gas acts on the inner side of the nylon belt instantaneously, and after the high-temperature and high-pressure propellant gas acts on the inner surface of the belt, the belt is expanded under pressure, and the outer surface of the belt is tightly attached to the inner wall of the barrel, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the belt and the barrel are inevitably insufficiently closed during high-speed movement of the bullet.

[0035] In another aspect, the embodiment of the present application also provides a bullet, as shown in the figure, which comprises the bullet seat 10, the belt 20, the wind cap 30 and the sealing compression ring 40 in any of the above embodiments. Figure 3

[0036] The wind cap is connected with the large-end cavity 11 of the bullet seat 10, the belt 20 is filled in the annular groove 13, and the sealing compression ring 40 is installed on the outer end surface of the small-end cavity 12 of the bullet seat 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the belt 20 is made of a thermal expansion material, the shape of the belt 20 remains unchanged when the temperature of the belt 20 is lower than a deformation value, and the shape of the belt 20 is expanded and becomes larger when the temperature of the belt 20 is higher than or equal to the deformation value. The large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure propellant gas generated at the rear of the bullet seat 10 and the high-speed friction between the belt 20 and the barrel both cause the temperature of the belt 20 to rise, and when the temperature of the belt 20 is higher than or equal to the deformation value, the shape of the belt 20 is expanded and becomes larger, so that even if the belt 20 is worn, the belt 20 can rely on its own expansion to keep an interference fit with the barrel during the continuous rising of the temperature of the belt 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the bullet seat 10 is the bullet seat 10 provided with the gas cavity groove 15 in the above embodiment, the width of the belt 20 is at least 2 times the width of the gas cavity groove 15. In this way, in operation, the flow guide holes 14 guide the propellant gas into the gas cavity groove 15, the propellant gas is evenly filled in the gas cavity, and the inner surface of the nylon belt 20 is uniformly stressed.

[0039] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the sealing compression ring 40 is smaller than the outer diameter of the belt 20. In other embodiments, the sealing compression ring 40 is connected with the bullet seat 10 through sealing glue, so that the sealing compression ring 40 and the bullet seat 10 are not only firmly connected, but also can achieve the purpose of further sealing.

[0040] ​In the embodiment, the outer diameter of the band 20 should be equal to the maximum outer diameter of the body seat 10, which is equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel, so that the whole projectile can be directly loaded into the straight bore of the barrel, providing a new sealing solution for the smoothbore gun or other similar launch structures that need to be loaded with the same caliber. In addition, the projectile of the embodiment can fully utilize the energy of the powder gas, so that the band 20 is constantly expanded by the action of the powder gas during the high-speed movement of the projectile in the barrel, which can ensure the sealing effect of the projectile during movement.

[0041] When the body seat 10 is provided with the air chamber, the working principle of the projectile is as follows: Figure 4 After the projectile is loaded and fired, a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure powder gas is generated at the rear of the body seat 10, and the generated powder gas rapidly enters the air chamber through the flow guide hole 14. The air chamber is provided to avoid the instantaneous local action of the powder gas on the inner surface of the nylon band 20, which causes the nylon band 20 to be unable to expand uniformly, affecting the sealing effect. After the high-temperature and high-pressure powder gas uniformly acts on the inner surface of the nylon band 20, the nylon band 20 is expanded under pressure, and its outer surface is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the barrel. During the whole movement of the projectile in the barrel, the outer side of the nylon band 20 is constantly worn, and at the same time, the nylon band 20 is constantly expanded under pressure, realizing the sealing effect of the projectile during movement. At the same time, the sealing pressure ring 40 and the table surface of the body seat 10 limit the axial movement of the nylon band 20 when it expands, preventing it from falling off during movement.

[0042] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
