HYDROCAVITATIONAL AMMUNITION DISCHARGING FACILITY

摘要

Hydrocavitational ammunition discharging facility relates to the utilization of the defensive equipment and ammunition, particularly to the discharging and utilization of preferably 7,6-152 mm caliber shells, The facility contains a closed loop of working water circulation with washing-off tools for the destruction of the explosives of the shells with cavitating streams and a conveyor line for conveyance of cassettes with the shells to be discharged into the explosion-proof box with a horizontal jig of accurate cassette holding to provide the collinearity of the shell's axes and the washing-off tools. The cassette on the jig has tools for rotation of the shells. Receivers of the mass remover are fastened on the jig. They have split devices to communicate with the shells' cavities and devices to create and sustain lowered (compared to atmospheric) pressure in the inner cavities. The jig comprises reciprocate devices of washing-off tools in a shell's cavity and of receiving hoppers of a mass remover from discharged shells. Optimized pair relations of shells rotation rate and translational motion of the washing-off tools in the shell's cavity depending on the cavity profile make it possible to increase the capacity and to reduce energy consumption at washing-off The facility control system contains a programmable module sending optimized pair relations signals to the drives of shells rotation and translational motion of the washing-off tools depending on the position of the washing-off tool inside the shell's cavity. The facility provides the destruction of the explosive charges directly inside the shell's body and extraction of the explosives in the form of aqueous suspension.
