13 results about "Caliber" patented technology

In guns, particularly firearms, caliber (or calibre in British English) is the specified nominal internal diameter of the gun barrel bore regardless of how or where the bore is measured and whether or not the finished bore matches that specification. It is measured in inches to an accuracy of hundredths or thousandths of an inch or in millimeters. For example, a ".45 caliber" firearm has a barrel diameter of roughly 0.45 inches (11 mm). Barrel diameters can also be expressed using metric dimensions. For example, a "9 mm pistol" has a barrel diameter of about 9 millimeters. Due to the inaccuracy and imprecision of imperial dimensions "converted" to metric units, metric designations are typically far out of specifications published in decimal inches. True "caliber" specifications require imperial measure, and even when cartridge designations (often mistakenly referred to as "caliber") only specify caliber to even tenths or hundredths of an inch, actual barrel/chamber/projectile dimensions are published to at least thousandths of an inch and frequently tolerances extend into ten-thousandths of an inch.

GIS butt joint shell

The utility model provides a GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) butt joint shell. The GIS butt joint shell comprises a barrel body, a first flange and a second flange, the caliber of the barrel body gradually changes in the axial direction of the barrel body; the first flange is fixedly arranged at the opening position of one end of the barrel body, and the second flange is fixedly arranged at the opening position of the other end of the barrel body; wherein the aperture of the first flange is larger than that of the second flange, and a connector of the first flange and a connector of the second flange are both eccentrically arranged. According to the butt joint shell, the caliber of the barrel body is gradually changed in the axial direction of the barrel body, so that the caliber of the barrel body can adapt to flanges with different calibers, and the shells with different calibers at the two ends are in butt joint. Moreover, through the eccentric design of the flanges fixedly connected with the two ends of the barrel body, butt joint of the shells with the offset at the two ends can be achieved, a displacement compensation structure does not need to be additionally arranged or an L-shaped bus does not need to be used for butt joint, and therefore the complexity of the shells after butt joint is effectively reduced.

Design method for inner ballistic trajectory of floating series-connection double-chamber balance gun

PendingCN121706350AWeapon componentsDesign optimisation/simulationInternal ballisticsChamber pressure
The invention relates to an inner ballistic trajectory design method for a floating series double-chamber balance gun. The inner ballistic trajectory design method comprises the steps of dividing an inner ballistic trajectory process period, establishing a gunpowder combustion model in a main chamber and an auxiliary chamber, establishing a projectile motion model, establishing a balance body motion model, establishing an auxiliary chamber motion model and establishing an inner ballistic trajectory energy conservation model. Based on a novel floating series-connection double-chamber structure for a balance gun, construction of an inner ballistic model is completed, and optimization design is conducted on the chamber structure and charging parameters. The problem that a large-diameter barrel weapon generates high bore pressure under the high initial speed index can be effectively solved. On the premise that the maximum chamber pressure is not increased, secondary acceleration of the projectile is achieved, and the outlet speed and the flight performance of the projectile are remarkably improved. According to the method, an important theoretical reference and a practical technical method are provided for design and development of the high-initial-speed large-caliber balance gun in the future, and the method has wide application prospects and great military value.

A method for measuring the bore diameter of a gun barrel

ActiveCN117781907BRealize bore diameter measurementRealize measurementUsing optical meansPoint cloudGun barrel
This invention provides a method for measuring the bore caliber of a gun barrel. The specific process is as follows: Based on the inner wall contour image of a standard ring gauge, a three-dimensional laser point cloud of the standard ring gauge is obtained; a point P is randomly selected in the three-dimensional laser point cloud, and multiple planes containing point P are created to intersect the three-dimensional laser point cloud; for each intersecting elliptical cross-section, the point with the largest distance from point P is selected, and multiple selected points form a point set N; the point with the smallest distance from point P in the point set N is obtained, and the smallest distance is used as the pixel distance of the standard ring gauge, and the physical distance corresponding to a single pixel is calculated; based on the bore image of the gun barrel, its three-dimensional laser point cloud is obtained, and the point cloud of the plane containing the point with the smallest distance in the bore image of the gun barrel is obtained for curve fitting, and the diameter of the inscribed circle of the curve is calculated; based on the physical distance corresponding to a single pixel and the pixel diameter of the inscribed circle of the bore, the inner diameter of the bore is calculated, thereby realizing the measurement of the bore caliber.
