Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a bullet charged with compressible composite explosives, process of the method comprising: 1) particle explosives is measured using constant quantity supplying device and is charged to a pallette mold; 2) the particle explosives is transferred to pellet-forming mold and then the particle explosives of the pellet-forming mold is molded under constant pressure to a pellet; 3) the pellet-forming mold is transported to the upper side of the bullet body fixing mold, thereby exiting the pellet of the pellet-forming mold, and the pellet which is inserted to the bullet of the bullet body fixing mold is pressed under constant pressure for charging; 4) the bullet with the pellet completely charged is transported to the bullet separating device; and 5) excess explosives is removed through cutting from said bullet.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for charging a small-scale bullet with compressed high-performance composite explosives, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for manufacturing many bullets charged with compressible composite explosives, wherein explosives are measured in constant amount, simultaneously shaped by using a plurality of pallets, and charged to bullets by compression.BACKGROUND ART

[0002] In small or middle caliber bullets, melt-cast explosives are generally used due to easiness in charging, which includes TNT and Composition B (Comp. B). Also used are particle type explosives like Composition A3 (Comp. A3). The conventional explosives, however, are very sensitive to external impact and have high chance of explosion while transport, although they are widely used due to the cheap price and easiness for mass production.

[0003] The method of producing bullets by using the melt-cast explosives comprises melting the explosi...

Embodiment Construction

[0046]The method for manufacturing a bullet charged with compressible composite explosives according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings attached.

[0047]The method for manufacturing a bullet charged with compressible composite explosives according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises: a first process in which particle explosives is measured in constant amount by using a particle explosives constant quantity supplying device 10 and is charged to a pallette mold 15, a second process in which the particle explosives is transferred to a pellet-forming mold 25 by transporting the pallette mold 15 charged with the particle explosives to the constant pressure molding device 20, and returned to the particle explosives constant quantity supplying device 10, and then the particle explosives of the pellet-forming mold 25 is molded under constant pressure to a pellet, a third process in which the pellet-forming mold 25 is tr...
