WARHEAD OF FLOODING EQUIPMENT AND METHOD OF ITS LOADING Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: defence equipment. SUBSTANCE: warhead has a casing consisting of two parts, one of which, mainly the bottom one, has a central tube for the additional charge and fuze, military charge, casing sealing components. Part of the military charge is placed in a ring of elasto-plastic material having the shape of a hollow body of revolution installed in interference fit in the warhead interior. In particular design variants of the warhead: the upper part of the ring is deformed by the casing head, and a ring shoulder, placed in the joint of the casing parts and serving as a sealing component of the warhead casing, is made on the ring outer surface. One of the ring end faces rests of the mating end face of the casing head. The V-shaped recess of the stepped V-ring faces the casing head, its shorter arm of the larger diameter is engageable by its side surface with the inner surface of the casing bottom part. The arm of the ring larger diameter has a ring shoulder, whose height is less than or equals the width of the ring V-shaped recess. The method of loading of the warhead consists in the fact that prior to flooding of the military charge the ring is installed in the casing bottom part, and the military charge is flooded through the ring, and after flooding the ring is subjected to action by the casing head. In particular variants of loading of the warhead: at joining of the casing parts the ring is deformed in radial direction by the casing head. At joining of the casing parts the ring is sunk in the military charge by the casing head. EFFECT: facilitated procedure. 5 cl, 11 dwg
