Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of deep underground target penetration, and particularly relates to a segmented series composite penetration structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the modernization of national defense systems, strategic high-value targets such as military command posts, nuclear weapon facilities, missile silos, communication control protection works, aircraft hangars and the like have been fortified. With the increasing maturity of all-hypersonic vehicles and guidance technology, it has become possible to penetrate deep underground enemy targets at super-high speed.
[0003] Traditional conventional penetration structures all have the phenomenon of reverse reduction of penetration depth under the condition of super-high speed (greater than 5Ma) penetration. With the increase of speed, the penetration structure fails, and the penetration ability sharply decreases. The contribution in the direction of penetration depth is even lower than that under the condition of conventional penetration speed, and the super-high kinetic energy excitation cannot be played in the direction of penetration. Although the overall penetration projectile structure can effectively increase the upper limit of its penetration speed by means of reasonable structural design, increasing material strength, reducing filling ratio and increasing shell thickness, the effect is very limited and cannot solve the fundamental problem.
[0004] The traditional penetration structure adopts an overall structure. Under the action of conventional penetration speed 2.5Ma, the penetration stress and overload are small, and the strength limit of the projectile body material is not reached. Under this speed condition, the penetration of the target plate is quasi-rigid penetration, the projectile trajectory is basically collimated, and the deformation and mass loss of the projectile body can be basically ignored. However, with the development of super-high speed weapon platforms, the striking speed of the penetration warhead against the target can exceed 5Ma. With the increase of the penetration speed of the warhead, the penetration depth of the target increases. When the penetration speed exceeds 4Ma, the projectile body has a risk of breaking, and the penetration depth decreases obviously with the increase of the penetration speed. The traditional overall penetration structure has low penetration efficiency and cannot complete the given technical indicators. SUMMARY
[0005] The application provides a segmented series composite penetration structure to solve the above problems.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme: A segmented series composite penetration structure, comprising a projectile tip, a projectile head and a projectile body, the projectile tip, the projectile head and the projectile body being connected in sequence, a charge cavity being formed at the rear end of the projectile body, and a fuze assembly being installed at the rear end of the charge cavity.
[0007] Further, the projectile tip and the projectile body both extend into the projectile head.
[0008] Still further, the projectile tip and the projectile body are connected with the projectile head in a threaded connection or welding manner.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer contour of the bullet tip can be any one of a cone shape, a convex arc curve, a concave arc curve, or a hyperbola.
[0010] Furthermore, when the outer contour of the bullet tip is conical, its cone angle is 0°~180°.
[0011] Furthermore, the projectile tip and body are made of any one of AerMet100 ultra-high strength alloy steel, G50 ultra-high strength alloy steel, or DT300 ultra-high strength alloy steel.
[0012] Furthermore, the warhead is made of any one of depleted uranium, tungsten-based alloys, high-entropy alloys, rare-earth-based active materials, or zirconium-based active materials.
[0013] Furthermore, the charge chamber uses JEOL-1 charge or 9025 insensitive charge, and the fuze assembly is a time-delay all-electronic fuze or an all-electronic fuze with layer counting function.
[0014] Furthermore, the head of the projectile is connected to the projectile head, and the head of the projectile has a double-conical structure, a pointed oval structure, or a combination of conical and oval structures.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention adopts a segmented series structure. The tip and warhead use the high-speed kinetic energy penetration mechanism to open a channel for the projectile to penetrate, so that the projectile can continue to penetrate the concrete fortification within the optimal velocity range of the material, thereby improving the penetration efficiency of the ultra-high speed projectile. The ultra-high speed penetration power is more than 50% higher than that of the traditional integral penetration warhead, while taking into account the medium and high speed penetration performance to achieve wide velocity range applicability.
[0016] This invention utilizes a projectile design that encapsulates the projectile body to avoid the extreme overload environment caused by ultra-high-speed penetration. It solves the problem of reduced penetration depth due to projectile material failure under ultra-high-speed penetration conditions, achieving a technological breakthrough in the field of ultra-high-speed penetration. This invention utilizes a projectile strength-toughness matching method to improve its tensile, bending, and shear resistance, protecting the integrity of the projectile. At the same time, the tail skirt angle of the projectile stage is adjustable to stabilize the projectile attitude and trajectory under different penetration and impact speeds.
[0017] This structure achieves ultra-high-speed penetration, especially above Mach 5, across a wide velocity range through a segmented, tandem composite method. By adjusting the length matching relationship of the tip, warhead, and body segments according to the target velocity, it effectively improves the destructive power against reinforced concrete targets. Under ultra-high-speed conditions, the penetration capability of the segmented, tandem composite projectile is 50% higher than that of traditional integral penetration projectiles; under medium- and high-speed conditions, the penetration capability of the segmented, tandem composite projectile is comparable to that of integral penetration projectiles. Simultaneously, this invention features a compact structure, high space utilization, and good trajectory alignment, ensuring the integrity of the projectile structure and its penetration power. It improves both the utilization of the cabin space and the terminal penetration power. This structure can achieve enhanced penetration capability across the entire velocity range, meeting the needs of different tactical and technical indicators and different battlefield environments.
[0018] The cone angle of the projectile tip of this invention can be adjusted within the range of 0° to 180° to suit different penetration conditions. Attached Figure Description
