Partitioned Explosive Charge Container for Safe Transport and Assembly

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing explosive charge designs do not effectively integrate both liquid explosive and projectile materials within a single container, leading to inefficiencies in assembly and safety during transport and storage.

Innovation Solution

A container design with an internal partition that separates and conforms to the shape of a projectile liner, allowing for the inclusion of both liquid explosive and projectile materials, with membranes that define distinct enclosures for each, enhancing safety and assembly efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If liquid explosive and projectile materials are stored separately in different containers, then safety during transport is improved, but assembly efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesafety during transportVSAvoidassembly efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The container is divided into separate compartments by a partition wall, with each compartment designed to hold either liquid explosive or projectile material. This segmentation allows safe separate storage while maintaining a unified container structure for efficient assembly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple storage functions into a single container by integrating separate compartments for liquid explosive and projectile materials. The container includes a body with a partition wall that creates distinct spaces, allowing both materials to be stored together in one unit for convenient transport and assembly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If liquid explosive and projectile materials are stored together in a single container, then assembly efficiency is improved, but safety during transport deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveassembly efficiencyVSAvoidsafety during transport

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The container is divided into separate compartments by a partition wall, with each compartment designed to hold either liquid explosive or projectile material. This segmentation allows safe separate storage while maintaining a unified container structure for efficient assembly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the container are assigned different functions: one compartment for liquid explosive and another for projectile material. The partition wall creates localized zones with specific purposes, ensuring that incompatible materials are physically separated while remaining in the same container.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If a partition is added to separate materials within the container, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesafetyVSAvoidcontainer structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The container is divided into separate compartments by a partition wall, with each compartment designed to hold either liquid explosive or projectile material. This segmentation allows safe separate storage while maintaining a unified container structure for efficient assembly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A partition wall is introduced as an intermediary structure between the liquid explosive and projectile material compartments. This simple dividing element effectively separates the two materials while maintaining the integrity of the overall container system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
