Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid propellant launch recoil reduction, in particular to a double-chamber post-spray channel gas-guiding self-locking control and water-gas mixing post-spray device. Background Art

[0002] When firing conventional barreled weapons, the gunpowder gases propel the projectile, generating a significant recoil impulse and force. Excessive recoil can render high-powered infantry-carried weapons unusable for shoulder-fired fire. It can also cause vehicles and helicopters carrying small-caliber artillery to violently bounce or vibrate, compromising firing accuracy and severely restricting the loading of high-powered conventional weapons onto advanced vehicles such as aircraft, ships, and light wheeled vehicles. Therefore, reducing recoil in barreled weapons directly impacts the performance of conventional weapons and represents a key bottleneck in balancing the balance between firepower and maneuverability.

[0003] The dual-chamber firing structure is a relatively new recoil-reducing mechanism that directly utilizes the energy of the propellant gases within the rear chamber for back-blasting, significantly reducing recoil. However, in current dual-chamber technology, the valve in the constant-pressure opening mechanism must open at relatively low pressure, which prevents the solid propellant from fully burning and inefficiently utilizes the propellant's energy. If the valve is set to open at a higher pressure, the pressure required to return to the chamber will also be higher, causing the back-blast channel to close prematurely. This will result in a large amount of propellant gases remaining in the chamber, preventing the continued back-blasting to reduce recoil. Furthermore, the current back-blasting process solely utilizes propellant gases, without involving other denser media, which also limits the back-blast impulse. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-recoil launch technology with controllable opening pressure of the post-jet valve, which can realize high-pressure opening and low-pressure recovery, and add water-gas mixing into the post-jet channel to increase the post-jet impulse, so as to realize continuous post-jet throughout the launch process, increase the density of post-jet material, and have a reliable control device, a dual-chamber post-jet channel gas self-locking control and a water-gas mixing post-jet device.

[0005] The technical solutions for achieving the purpose of the present invention are:

[0006] A dual-chamber rear-jet channel gas-guided self-locking control and water-gas mixed rear-jet device, comprising a launch tube, a control body, a piston, a return spring, a locking pin, a control spring, a rear-jet pipe, a nozzle clamp, a gas guide pipe, a valve, a valve spring, and a dual-chamber structure. The control body is fixedly mounted on the launch tube, and the dual-chamber structure is disposed within the launch tube. A main gas chamber is disposed within the control body, and the main gas chamber is communicated with the interior of the dual-chamber structure for introducing the gas generated by the dual-chamber structure. A partition is disposed within the dual-chamber structure for blocking the main gas chamber.

[0007] The rear spray pipe is inserted and fixed in the control body, and the piston is arranged in the control body to control the opening and closing of the rear spray pipe;

[0008] The lock pin is provided between the control body and the piston as a movement switch of the piston. An air guide channel is provided between the lock pin and the main air chamber for introducing gas to push the lock pin to move, thereby unlocking the piston. The control body is provided with the return spring for resetting the piston. The control body is provided with the control spring for adjusting the starting pressure of the lock pin.

[0009] A plurality of water guide holes are provided on the side wall of the rear spray pipe, and a nozzle clamp and a water tank are provided on the periphery of the rear spray pipe, and the nozzle clamp covers the water guide holes; a valve is provided on the pipe between the nozzle clamp and the water tank for controlling the opening and closing between the nozzle clamp and the water tank; an air guide pipe is provided between the main air chamber and the valve for introducing gas to push the valve to move, and the valve spring is provided in the nozzle clamp for resetting the valve.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0011] (1) The present invention uses a gas-guided control lock pin to self-lock. High-pressure gas is used to push the lock pin to move as a piston start switch. After the lock pin moves into position, it is locked by the piston, achieving a self-locking effect. This achieves the effect of high-pressure opening and low-pressure return of the post-spray valve, continuous post-spray of high-pressure gunpowder gas, and controllable valve opening pressure. This achieves the purpose of full combustion of gunpowder, continuous post-spray, and full utilization of gunpowder gas energy to reduce recoil.

[0012] (2) A new type of water-gas mixing control device is proposed. A water tank is set outside the rear spray channel. The water tank is in full contact with the contraction section of the rear spray channel through the water guide hole to produce a water-gas mixture with a higher density. Finally, the spray is further accelerated through the expansion nozzle, thereby greatly improving the rear spray impulse of the launcher and achieving the purpose of greatly reducing the recoil and realizing micro-recoil launch.

[0013] (3) The valve, lock pin and water-gas mixing control device in the present invention can be automatically reset and reused, thereby enabling continuous shooting.

[0014] (4) The maximum pressure in the weapon chamber does not increase, the weapon's existing ammunition does not need to be changed, and the weapon's maneuverability is good. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A valve spring 11 is provided within nozzle clamp 8 to reset valve 10. After adopting the present invention, simulation calculations show that the projectile's initial velocity reaches 750 m / s in a high-velocity 25mm sniper grenade launcher, which is 3.1 times the initial velocity of the US MK47 40mm grenade launcher (240 m / s). The recoil is relatively small, enabling shoulder-fired launch.

[0024] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the projectile 13 is launched, the firing pin 18 strikes the fuel primer at the bottom of the rear chamber 16, igniting the solid fuel 17 in the rear chamber 16, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the rear chamber 16 burns the partition 15. The rear chamber gas guide hole 1601 and the connecting hole 1401 are opened, and the rear chamber 16 is connected with the main gas chamber 201 in the control body 2. The gas in the rear chamber 16 flows into the front chamber 14 through the connecting hole 1401 to ignite the solid fuel 16 in the front chamber 14. In the initial stage, the fuel gas pressure in the rear chamber 16 is greater than the fuel gas pressure in the front chamber 14. The gas in the rear chamber 16 continuously flows into the front chamber 14, and after overcoming the squeezing pressure of the projectile 13, it pushes the projectile 13 forward. The gas in the main gas chamber 201 The gas flows into the air guide channel 202 and the air guide pipe 9 respectively. When the pressure of the rear chamber 16 increases to the point where the pressure acting on the lock pin 5 is greater than the elastic force of the control spring 6 acting on the lock pin 5, the high-pressure gas pushes the lock pin 5 to the right along the lock pin hole 205. When the lock pin 5 completely slides away from the piston lock pin hole 205, since the rigidity of the designed return spring 4 is much smaller than that of the control spring 6, the pressure of the rear chamber 16 acting on the piston 3 is much greater than the elastic force of the return spring 4 acting on the piston. The high-pressure gas pushes the piston 3 to move upward along the piston cavity hole 203 until the end face of the piston 3 coincides with the upper end face of the piston cavity hole 203 and then stops. The gas in the main air chamber 201 flows into the rear injection pipe 7 through the rear injection pipe hole 206, and the piston 3 blocks the lock pin hole 205, thereby locking The pin 5 is locked, playing a role similar to self-locking. At the same time, when the pressure in the rear chamber 16 increases to the point where the pressure acting on the valve 10 is greater than the elastic force of the valve spring 11 acting on the valve 10, the valve 10 moves to the right along the valve hole 803 until the end face of the valve 10 coincides with the bottom face of the valve hole 803 and stops. The valve air guide hole 1001 is aligned and connected with the water inlet hole 802. The water in the water storage tank 12 flows into the water storage chamber 801 of the nozzle clamp 8 through the water inlet hole 802. The fuel gas in the rear chamber 16 is compressed when passing through the contraction channel 701 of the rear nozzle pipe 7. The water in the water storage chamber 801 enters the water guide holes 702 on the circumferential side wall of the contraction channel 701 and is fully mixed with the fuel gas to produce a water-gas mixture with a higher density. The water-gas mixture is finally further accelerated and ejected through the expansion nozzle 703, and the pressure in the rear chamber 16 continues to decrease. When the pressure in the rear chamber 16 is lower than the pressure at the bottom of the front chamber 14, the gas in the front chamber 14 begins to flow into the rear chamber 16 through the connecting hole 1401, and is finally ejected backward at high speed together with the gas in the rear chamber 16, generating a huge forward impulse, thereby offsetting the recoil impulse of the launcher. When the pressure in the chamber drops, the pressure acting on the bottom of the piston 3 and the valve 10 is less than the elastic force of the return spring 4 and the valve spring 11, the piston 3 moves down and resets, and the valve 10 moves to the left. When the bottom surface of the piston 3 coincides with the bottom surface of the piston cavity hole 203, the piston lock pin hole 301 is aligned and connected with the lock pin hole 205, and the lock pin 5 moves to the left to its initial state.
