AI Technical Summary
The impact range of traditional mortar shells is small and cannot effectively attack enemy personnel and equipment that evade trenches and bunkers.
An air-explosive mortar shell was designed, adopting an upper and lower bullet barrel structure, with instantaneous fuses and delayed fuzes inside. During the explosion, the bullet barrel is separated from the steel ball barrel. The steel ball diverges in an inverted cone shape at a high speed, and combines the air wave to form a downward horn-shaped impact.
The scope of strike has been expanded, and it can effectively attack ground targets and avoid enemy personnel and equipment in trenches and bunkers, providing new attack and defense means.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-bursting mortar shells, in particular to an air-bursting mortar shell. Background Art
[0002] Mortars are commonly used light artillery, carried by infantry to provide fire support. Upon explosion, they rely on fragments and blast from the projectile to inflict damage. However, traditional mortars produce an upward, flared blast and fragments, resulting in a limited range. Furthermore, they can only engage exposed targets on the ground, and are ineffective against personnel and equipment sheltered in trenches or bunkers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an air-blast mortar shell to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] The utility model discloses an air-burst mortar shell, comprising an upper barrel and a lower barrel. The front end of the upper barrel is provided with an instantaneous fuse, the interior of the upper barrel near the instantaneous fuse is an upper powder chamber, the lower end of the lower barrel is provided with a launching barrel connected by a thread, the interior of the lower barrel is a lower powder chamber, the top end of the lower barrel is provided with a fixedly connected steel ball barrel, and the steel ball barrel is inserted into the upper barrel by rotating the thread;
[0006] The steel ball cylinder is filled with steel balls, a conical bowl is placed at the junction of the steel ball cylinder and the lower medicine chamber, the top of the steel ball cylinder is covered with a push bowl, the top of the conical bowl is provided with a fixed integrated delay fuse, the top of the delay fuse is provided with a fire tube, the fire tube is located outside the conical bowl and passes through the push bowl.
[0007] As an improvement, the instantaneous fuse is threadedly connected to the loading tube.
[0008] As an improvement, the detonator tube is threadedly connected to the delay fuse and the push bowl.
[0009] The advantages of the utility model compared with the prior art are that the assembled shell has similar aerodynamic shape, range, ballistic curve and shooting accuracy to the traditional mortar shell. Figure 4 , landing in a basically vertical position and making a shallow pit, such as Figure 5 At this time, the instantaneous fuse triggers the gunpowder in the upper chamber to explode, and the lower barrel and the steel ball barrel separate from the upper barrel. At the same time, the delay fuse is triggered, and the upward impact force brought by the explosion is thrown into the air at a height of 5-30 meters. Figure 6 At this time, the time delay fuse ignites the gunpowder in the lower chamber and explodes. This is the second explosion. The downward impact of the explosion immediately pushes the cone bowl downward. A large number of steel balls in the steel ball tube are strongly squeezed downward and diverge into an inverted cone at high speed. Figure 7 , to strike ground targets, the strike range can reach a diameter of more than ten meters to several dozen meters.
[0010] This air-burst mortar shell has a downward trumpet-shaped steel ball and air wave when it explodes. It has a large attack range and can attack a variety of media. In addition to ground targets, it can also attack enemy personnel and equipment hiding in trenches and bunkers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] This embodiment combines the attached Figures 1 to 7 , a detailed description of an air-burst mortar shell.
[0027] This embodiment provides an air-burst mortar shell, including an upper barrel 1 and a lower barrel 2. The upper barrel 1 is provided with a prompt-fire fuse 3 at the front end. The upper barrel 1 has an upper chamber 4 near the prompt-fire fuse 3. The lower barrel 2 has a threaded launch tube 5 at the lower end. The lower barrel 2 has a lower chamber 6 inside. The top of the lower barrel 2 is provided with a fixed steel ball barrel 7. The steel ball barrel 7 is inserted into the upper barrel 1 by rotating the thread. The upper barrel 1 and the lower barrel 2 can be rotated to open the charge chamber 4, and the upper chamber 4 can be disengaged when the upper chamber 4 explodes.
[0028] The steel ball tube 7 contains steel balls 8. A conical bowl 9 is placed at the junction of the steel ball tube 7 and the lower medicine chamber 6. The top of the steel ball tube 7 is covered with a push bowl 10. A fixed delay fuse 11 is provided at the top of the conical bowl 9. A fire tube 12 is provided at the top of the delay fuse 11. The fire tube 12 is located outside the conical bowl 9 and passes through the push bowl 10.
[0029] The instantaneous fuse 3 is threadedly connected to the upper barrel 1.
[0030] Described firing tube 12 is threadedly connected with time delay fuse 11 and push bowl 10. Push bowl 10 can be rotated to open, and steel ball 8 is installed in steel ball tube 7.
[0031] In specific implementation, the material of the shell is high-quality steel, and the charge in the upper chamber 4 is relatively small, which only needs to be sufficient to throw the lower projectile into the air so that the lower projectile can explode at a suitable height.
[0032] The assembled shell has similar aerodynamic shape, range, ballistic curve and shooting accuracy to traditional mortar shells. Figure 4 , landing in a basically vertical position and making a shallow pit, such as Figure 5 At this time, the instantaneous fuse 3 triggers the gunpowder in the upper chamber 4 to explode, and the lower cartridge 2 and the steel ball cylinder 7 separate from the upper cartridge 1. At the same time, the delay fuse 11 is triggered, and the upward impact force brought by the explosion is thrown into the air at a height of 5-30 meters. Figure 6 At this time, the delay fuse 11 ignites the gunpowder in the lower chamber 6 and explodes. This is the second explosion. The downward impact of the explosion immediately pushes the conical bowl 9 downward, and a large number of steel balls 8 in the steel ball tube 7 are strongly squeezed downward and diverge into an inverted cone at high speed. Figure 7 , to strike ground targets, the strike range can reach a diameter of more than ten meters to several dozen meters.
[0033] This air-burst mortar shell features steel balls, which can be replaced with steel columns, tetrahedrons, or polyhedrons. The shells can be made of steel, iron, or other metals, as well as non-metallic materials. It can be used with the 60mm, 82mm, and 120mm mortars. It is suitable for striking enemy personnel and equipment in trenches and bunkers. It can be carried by infantry and paratroopers and is particularly effective in sieges and positional warfare without the support of large-caliber artillery. It provides our army with a new offensive and defensive tool. Different caliber shells have different launch heights. As the caliber increases, the number of steel balls increases, the power increases, the launch height increases, and the damage area expands.
[0034] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting and does not limit the scope of protection. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by this utility model should be included in the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
