An inertial firing module for rifled artillery fuze capable of preventing ballistic explosion

ActiveCN118980295BAmmunition fuzesExternal ballisticsStructural engineering
The present invention discloses an inertial firing module for a rifled artillery fuze that can prevent ballistic explosion. The module comprises an end cap, an outer shell, an energy storage needle firing mechanism, a forward overload and unload identification mechanism for controlling the energy storage needle firing mechanism, a centrifugal safety mechanism for the forward overload and unload identification mechanism, and an anti-recovery mechanism for the centrifugal safety mechanism. The forward overload and unload identification mechanism primarily comprises a movable body and a movable body spring for identifying forward overload, and a sliding sleeve, a sliding sleeve spring, and a first ball for identifying unload. Several centrifugal pins disposed within blind holes surrounding the movable body use the frictional force generated by the centrifugal force acting on the inner wall of the outer shell to resist the abnormal forward thrust experienced by the movable body when the projectile's nutation angle returns to zero on the external trajectory. The movable body's center of mass is adjusted to the axis of the inertial firing module through radial drilling, so that its radial eccentricity relative to the projectile axis is close to zero. This prevents the movable body from accidentally releasing the energy storage needle firing mechanism on the external trajectory, thereby causing ballistic explosion.
