[0029] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] refer to Figure 1-2 The specific embodiment of the present invention provides a flat, easy-to-disassemble, breakable cover structure that is free of bonding and can be installed at the outlet of the launch tube 1, comprising:

[0031] An annular fixing member, the annular fixing member is installed at the outlet of the launch tube 1;

[0032] A foam cover 4 is attached to the outlet of the launch tube 1 and is detachably connected and sealed to the launch tube 1 through an annular fixing piece;

[0033] A weak area 8 is provided on the end surface of the foam cover 4 close to the inside of the launch tube 1 .

[0034] The existing front cover of the launch tube is made of metal with prefabricated grooves on the metal. The projectile breaks through the metal to open the cover. The metal cover is heavy, does not achieve the effect of weight reduction, and requires a long time to open. Some use fiber fabric with prefabricated cracks and aluminum foil to make the front cover of the launch tube. The weak area made by the prefabricated cracks is subjected to a strong impact on the warhead when it breaks through, and the failure form of the film cover may not be consistent with the expected damage form, which may be a tearing form, and will scratch the projectile. The petal-type composite material structure is formed by resin bonding and curing to form the front cover of the launch tube. The resin is fluid and has many pores after curing, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the finished product. In the present application, a foam cover 4 is used, and the foam cover 4 is detachably connected and sealed at the outlet of the launch tube 1 through an annular fixing piece. On the one hand, it can avoid the use of adhesive to bond the foam and wait for the time for the adhesive to dry. On the other hand, eliminating the adhesive factor enhances or weakens the opening pressure of the fragile cover; the foam cover 4 has a certain pressure resistance, which can ensure the good sealing of the launch tube 1. At the same time, a weak area 8 is set on the foam cover 4, which can be destroyed under a small impact momentum, does not interfere with the flying of the projectile, and does not damage the projectile body. On the whole, the foam cover 4 of the present application is light in weight, strong enough, easy to disassemble and assemble, has excellent weather resistance and stability, and is not easy to affect the warhead.

[0035] Further optimization scheme, weak area 8 includes:

[0036] A right-angle cross groove 7, which is provided at the center of the foam cover 4;

[0037] The right-angled annular groove 6 is provided at the edge of the foam cover 4 and communicated with the right-angled cross groove 7 .

[0038] Under the impact of the projectile, the first places where the foam cover 4 is destroyed are the right-angle ring groove 6 and the right-angle cross groove 7. The wall thickness here is relatively small and can be opened under a smaller impact. Among them, the diameter of the right-angle ring groove 6 can be adjusted as needed to achieve a diameter that does not interfere with the front cover (foam cover 4) when the customer's projectile comes out of the tube. It is not limited to the cross groove. If you want to increase the number of petals to be destroyed, you can adjust it accordingly. Of course, you can also change the angle of the groove, but it is relatively stable when the groove is at a right angle. The width and depth of the right-angle ring groove 6, the width and depth of the right-angle cross groove 7 and the foam density are controlled to meet the opening pressure requirements of different customers. It has strong designability and short processing time. The structural fragile cover is lightweight and high-strength, easy to disassemble and assemble, simple to operate, quick to respond, low maintenance cost and excellent weather resistance.

[0039] Further optimizing the scheme, the annular fixing includes:

[0040] A clamp 2, wherein the clamp 2 is threadedly sleeved on the outside of the outlet of the launch tube 1;

[0041] The pressing ring 3 is detachably connected to the clamp 2 coaxially, and the edge of the foam cover 4 abuts between the pressing ring 3 and the clamp 2.

[0042] The clamp 2 is threadedly sleeved on the outside of the outlet of the launch tube 1, and thread glue is applied to the threaded connection to make it firmly connected.

[0043] Further optimizing the solution, the annular fixing member also includes:

[0044] An annular groove is provided on the end surface of the clamp 2 close to the pressure ring 3, and the edge of the foam cover 4 covers the annular groove.

[0045] The main purpose of setting the annular groove is to increase the air tightness. When the edge of the foam cover 4 covers the annular groove, the annular groove is squeezed onto the annular groove by the pressure ring 3, thereby ensuring the overall air tightness of the launch tube 1.

[0046] Further optimizing the solution, the annular fixing member also includes:

[0047] Screws 5 , the clamp 2 and the pressure ring 3 are connected by a plurality of screws 5 .

[0048] The clamp 2 and the pressure ring 3 are detachably connected by screws 5, which can avoid using adhesive to bond the foam and waiting for the adhesive to dry, thereby eliminating the adhesive factor to enhance or weaken the opening pressure of the fragile cover.

[0049] According to a further optimized solution, both end surfaces of the foam cover 4 in the axial direction are planes.

[0050] The foam cover 4 is flat, and the destruction mode is relatively stable, and the fragments will not scratch the projectile body after the explosion.

[0051] Further optimization scheme, the foam cover 4 is made of PM I foam material; the density of the foam cover 4 is 30kg / m 3 -200kg / m 3 .

[0052] The thickness of the foam cover 4 can be adjusted according to the demand, and can ensure good air tightness while being destroyed under a small impact momentum. The foam cover 4 is planar, and the destruction mode is relatively stable, and the fragments will not scratch the projectile after the explosion.
