Abstract

The invention relates to a practice target made of reusable plastic material which consists of a thermoformed shell with vertical ribs. As a result of the uniform distribution of the heated gas in its interior, the target can still be identified well even after a plurality of hits. The material of the target which has been fired at can be reconditioned to form a target of the same type. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Übungsziel Z, welches mittels eines von einer externen Quelle erzeugten gasförmigen Mediums über Rohrleitungen beheizt wird, wobei das Ziel einen innerhalb des Zieles verlaufenden und seitlich durch Leitleisten begrenzten Kanal aufweist, in den das gasförmige Medium geleitet wird, eine plattenförmige Rückwand 1 und eine Vorderwand 3 aufweist, die beide aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind, wobei die Vorderwand 3 an der Rückwand 1 befestigt ist, mehrere in den Innenraum 2 zwischen Rückwand 1 und beschußseitiger Vorderwand 3 ragende, etwa parallel und vertikal angeordnete Elemente 4 aufweist und ein im Bereich des unteren Randes der Rückwand 1 bzw. Vorderwand 3 angeordnetes, etwa horizontal verlaufendes Rohr 6, das an die Quelle 7 des gasförmigen Mediums angeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a training target Z, which is heated by means of a gaseous medium generated by an external source via pipelines, the target having a channel running inside the target and laterally delimited by guide rails into which the gaseous medium is directed, a plate-shaped rear wall 1 and has a front wall 3, both of which are made of plastic, the front wall 3 being fastened to the rear wall 1, having a plurality of elements 4, approximately parallel and vertically arranged, projecting into the interior 2 between the rear wall 1 and the firing-side front wall 3, and one in the region of the lower edge of the rear wall 1 or front wall 3 arranged, approximately horizontal pipe 6, which is connected to the source 7 of the gaseous medium.

Ein derartiges Übungsziel wird zur Schießausbildung mit scharfem Schuß bei Tageslicht und gleichzeitiger schlechter Sicht oder bei Nacht benötigt. Dabei sollen sowohl die Zielerfassung, die Zielauswahl und die Zielansprache als auch die Bedienung des Waffensystems unter realistischen Bedingungen geübt werden.Such a target is required for shooting training with a sharp shot in daylight and at the same time poor visibility or at night. Target acquisition, target selection and target addressing as well as the operation of the weapon system should be practiced under realistic conditions.

Die FR-A-2 544 067, die als nächstleigenden Stand der Technik anzusehen ist; beschreibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Erzeugung eines Übungszieles. Einmal wird vorgeschlagen, die Rückwand aus einer Holzplatte oder einer starren metallischen Platte anzufertigen und mit einem Gewebe oder einer Kunststoffolie als Vorderwand abzudecken, zum anderen ist es als Realisierungsmöglichkeit angegeben, die Zielstruktur aus Folien herzustellen und diese über zwei am Rand des Zieles befindliche Pfosten zu streifen.Die erste Ausführungsform eignet sich wegen der Verwendung widerstandsfähiger Materialien nicht für den Beschuß mit Lenkflugkörpern oder Hohlladungsgeschossen, weil deren scharfgestellte Zünder beim Auftreffen auslösen würden und das Ziel somit beim ersten Treffer zerstört würde. Außerdem wird Holz als Verbrauchsmaterial verwendet. Dies sollte im Sinne einer geringen Umweltbelastung gerade vermieden werden, weil Holz als Naturprodukt nur langsam nachwächst und ein durch Treffer zerstörtes Holzziel nicht mehr im Recyclingverfahren zur Herstellung weiterer Ziele verwendet werden kann. Außerdem unterliegt die Erwärmung von Holzplatten einer gewissen Trägheit, so daß ein realitätsnahes schnelles Auftauchen und Verschwinden eines Zieles nicht geübt werden kann.FR-A-2 544 067, which is to be regarded as the closest prior art; describes different ways to create a training target. On the one hand, it is proposed to make the rear wall from a wooden plate or a rigid metallic plate and to cover it with a fabric or a plastic film as the front wall; on the other hand, it is given as a possible implementation to produce the target structure from foils and to use two posts at the edge of the target to close them The first embodiment is suitable for use resistant materials not for bombardment with guided missiles or shaped charge projectiles, because their focused detonators would trigger when they hit and the target would thus be destroyed on the first hit. Wood is also used as a consumable. This should be avoided in the sense of a low environmental impact, because wood grows slowly as a natural product and a wooden target destroyed by hits can no longer be used in the recycling process to produce further targets. In addition, the heating of wooden panels is subject to a certain inertia, so that a realistic, fast appearance and disappearance of a target cannot be practiced.

Die zweite Ausführungsform mit dem Gewebe oder den Folien weist bei bestimmten Witterungsbedingungen den Nachteil der mechanischen Instabilität auf, worunter sowohl die Zieldarstellung als auch die Handhabung bei der Zielmontage leidet. Außerdem ist nicht sichergestellt, daß das Ziel bereits nach wenigen Treffern mit 120 mm Geschossen überhaupt noch erkennbar ist, weil im Falle des Nachteinsatzes über das zerrissene Gewebe/Folienmaterial zuviel erwärmte Luft entweicht.The second embodiment with the fabric or the foils has the disadvantage of mechanical instability under certain weather conditions, from which both the target display and the handling during target assembly suffer. In addition, there is no guarantee that the target will still be recognizable after just a few hits with 120 mm bullets, because in the event of night use, too much heated air will escape through the torn fabric / film material.

Die US-A-3 516 670 betrifft ein Übungsziel für kleinkalibrige Munition. Das Ziel ist aus dem Werkstoff Polyäthylen hergestellt und weist zur Versteifung eine waffelartige Strukturierung aus vertikalen und horizontalen Erhebungen und Vertiefungen auf. Diese Ausführungsform eignet sich besonders für die kleinkalibrige Munition, weil die Einschußlöcher mittels Wärmebehandlung soweit verkleinert werden können, daß eine Mehrfachverwendung des Ziels möglich wird. Auf die Verwendung bei großkalibrigen Geschossen und auf die Möglichkeit der Wiederaufbereitung zerstörter Ziele wird jedoch nicht hingewiesen.US-A-3 516 670 relates to a practice target for small caliber ammunition. The target is made of polyethylene and has a waffle-like structure made of vertical and horizontal elevations and depressions for stiffening. This embodiment is particularly suitable for small-caliber ammunition because the bullet holes can be reduced by means of heat treatment to such an extent that multiple use of the target becomes possible. However, no reference is made to the use on large-caliber projectiles and the possibility of reprocessing destroyed targets.

Als gravierender Nachteil vergleichbarer Ziele hat es sich erwiesen, daß der Befestigungsrahmen für das Ziel etwa deckungsgleich der Berandung des Zieles selbst ist. Beim Beschuß mit großkalibrigen Geschossen wird nicht selten der Rand bzw. Rahmen getroffen, so daß das Ziel damit mangels Eigenstabilität unbrauchbar wird.As a serious disadvantage of comparable goals, it has been found that the mounting frame for the target is approximately congruent with the border of the The goal itself is. When shooting with large-caliber projectiles, the edge or frame is often hit, so that the target becomes unusable due to a lack of inherent stability.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Übungsziel unter Vermeidung der genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik so zu gestalten, daß die Handhabung hinsichtlich Lagerung, Transport und Aufstellung verbessert wird, daß das Ziel in dem Bereich, in dem üblicherweise die Geschosse einschlagen, ausschließlich aus wiederverwertbarem Material besteht und daß eine realistische Zieldarstellung hinsichtlich des Zeitverhaltens und der guten Erkennbarkeit, insbesondere der flächigen Wärmeverteilung, auch nach mehreren Treffern mit großkalibrigen Geschossen erreicht wird.It is therefore an object of the present invention to design a practice target while avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned in such a way that handling with regard to storage, transport and installation is improved so that the target in the area in which the projectiles usually strike is exclusive consists of recyclable material and that a realistic target representation with regard to the time behavior and good visibility, in particular the flat heat distribution, is achieved even after several hits with large-caliber bullets.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Rückwand des Zieles aus einer Schale aus einem tiefkiehbaren und wiederverwertbaren Kunststoffwie Polyäthylen (PE) hergestellt ist, in die mittels Tiefziehen vertikal verlaufende Rippen bzw. Sicken eingeprägt sind, welche zumindest an einer Stelle ihrer Gesamtlänge eine Querströmung des Heizgases zulassen und daß das an die Quelle des gasförmigen Mediums angeschlossene Rohr für jeden Zwischenraum zwischen den Rippen/Sicken wenigstens eine Ausblasöffnung aufweist wobei dieses Rohr leicht lösbar befestigt ist. Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved in that the rear wall of the target is made of a shell made of a deep-drawable and recyclable plastic such as polyethylene (PE), into which ribs or corrugations running vertically are embossed by means of deep-drawing and which have a transverse flow at least at one point in their overall length of the heating gas and that the pipe connected to the source of the gaseous medium has at least one blow-out opening for each space between the ribs / beads, this pipe being easily detachably fastened. Further configurations are described in the subclaims.

Die besonderen Vorteile der Erfindung sind darin zu sehen, daß das Übungsziel aufgrund seines niedrigen Gewichts leicht zu transportieren und aufzustellen ist. Durch die besondere Formgebung wird eine hohe Stapeldichte erreicht. Das verwendete Kunststoffmaterial läßt sich nach dem Beschuß wieder einschmelzen und zu einem neuen Ziel verarbeiten. Splitter und Reste verrotten in der Natur selbständig unter Einfluß von UV-Strahlung. Im Übungsfall kann das Ziel innerhalb von fünf Sekunden auf die erforderliche erhöhte Temperatur geheizt werden. Eine Erkennbarkeit des Zieles nach 10 Schuß mit 120 mm-Geschossen oder 200 Schuß mit 20 mm-Geschossen ist gegeben und durch Versuche nachgewiesen. Die gleichmäßige Erwärmung der Zielfläche ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung gewährleistet. Das Übungsziel ist aufgrund der verwendeten Materialien unempfindlich gegenüber Witterungseinflüssen. Bei Verwendung des Übungszieles als Tagziel wird das Rohr, mit dem beim Nachteinsatz das erwärmte gasförmige Medium im Ziel verteilt wird, einfach herausgezogen. Es kann somit nicht mehr durch Treffer zerstört werden, wodurch sich eine deutliche Materialeinsparung ergibt.The particular advantages of the invention are the fact that the exercise target is easy to transport and set up due to its low weight. Due to the special shape, a high stack density is achieved. The plastic material used can be melted again after the bombardment and processed to a new target. Splinters and remnants rot in nature independently under the influence of UV radiation. In practice, the target can be heated to the required elevated temperature within five seconds. The target can be recognized after 10 rounds with 120 mm rounds or 200 rounds with 20 mm rounds and has been proven by tests. The design according to the invention ensures uniform heating of the target surface guaranteed. Due to the materials used, the exercise goal is insensitive to weather influences. When using the exercise target as a day target, the tube that is used to distribute the heated gaseous medium in the target at night is simply pulled out. It can therefore no longer be destroyed by hits, which results in significant material savings.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine beschußseitige Ansicht des Übungszieles
  • Fig. 2 einen Teil des Schnittes AA' durch ein Ziel gemäß Fig. 1.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 is a shot-side view of the target
  • 2 shows a part of section AA 'through a target according to FIG. 1.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch vereinfacht die beschußseitige Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels des Übungsziels Z. An einem vorgegebenen Zielrahmen 10 ist die als tiefgezogene Schale ausgeführte Rückwand 1 in einem Abstand, der wenigstens ein Kaliber der verwendeten Geschosse betragen sollte, befestigt. Die Rückwand besteht aus einem etwa 1-3 mm dicken Kunststoffmaterial, vorzugsweise Polyäthylen (PE). In die Rückwand 1 sind mittels Tiefziehen eine größere Anzahl von vertikalen Rippen oder Sicken 4 eingeprägt, die in den aus der Rückwand 1 und der beschußseitigen Vorderwand 3 gebildeten Innenraum 2 ragen. Dadurch wird ein hohes Maß an Eigenstabilität erreicht, so daß die Befestigung am Zielrahmen in der Art einer Einspannung ausgeführt werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise liegen die Rippen/Sicken 4 an der Vorderwand 3 an. Die Rippen/Sicken 4 erstrecken sich vom Rohr 5, das der Verteilung des heißen gasförmigen Mediums 11 dient, bis knapp unter den oberen Rand der Rückwand 1, so daß Querverbindungen 9 zwischen den durch die Rippen/Sicken 4 erzeugten Zwischenräumen geschaffen werden. Mit Hilfe der Querverbindungen 9 wird eine möglichst gleichmäßige Wärmeverteilung über die gesamte Zielfläche erzielt. Somit bleibt das Erscheinungsbild des Tag- oder Nachtziels Z auch nach mehreren Treffern mit großkalibrigen Geschossen weitgehend erhalten. Selbst die Beschädigung der Ränder der schalenförmigen Rückwand führt nicht zur Zerstörung des Ziels.Fig. 1 shows schematically simplified the shot-side view of an embodiment of the target Z. The rear wall 1 designed as a deep-drawn shell is attached to a predetermined target frame 10 at a distance that should be at least one caliber of the projectiles used. The back wall consists of an approximately 1-3 mm thick plastic material, preferably polyethylene (PE). In the rear wall 1, a large number of vertical ribs or beads 4 are embossed by deep drawing, which protrude into the interior 2 formed from the rear wall 1 and the front wall 3 on the bombardment side. This achieves a high degree of inherent stability, so that the attachment to the target frame can be carried out in the manner of a clamping. The ribs / beads 4 are advantageously in contact with the front wall 3. The ribs / beads 4 extend from the tube 5, which is used to distribute the hot gaseous medium 11, to just below the upper edge of the rear wall 1, so that cross-connections 9 are created between the spaces created by the ribs / beads 4. With the help of the cross connections 9, the most uniform possible heat distribution is achieved over the entire target area. Thus, the appearance of the day or night target Z is largely retained even after several hits with large-caliber projectiles. Even damage to the edges of the cup-shaped rear wall does not destroy the target.

Die Vorderwand 3 des Übungszieles Z besteht vorzugsweise aus dem gleichen Material wie die Rückwand 1. Allerdings wird als Materialdicke nur Folienstärke gewählt. Diese Folie wird mittels einfach lösbarer Befestigungsmittel am Außenrand der Rückwand 1 angebracht. Somit kann das Ziel nach der Beschädigung durch mehrere Treffer als Ganzes abgebaut und der Wiederaufbereitung zugeführt werden. Aufgrund der geringen Materialdicke der Vorderwand 3 ist ein guter Wärmeübergang gewährleistet. Eine Verbesserung der wärmebildfähigen Zieldarstellung ist durch die Beschichtung der Vorderwand mit reflexionsfreier Farbe gegeben.The front wall 3 of the exercise target Z preferably consists of the same material as the rear wall 1. However, only film thickness is selected as the material thickness. This film is attached to the outer edge of the rear wall 1 by means of easily detachable fastening means. Thus, the target can be dismantled as a whole after being damaged by multiple hits and can be recycled. Due to the low material thickness of the front wall 3, good heat transfer is guaranteed. The coating of the front wall with reflection-free paint provides an improvement in the target image capable of thermal imaging.

Die Beheizung wird mittels einer externen Einrichtung 7 vorgenommen, welche über eine Zuleitung 6 an das Übungsziel angeschlossen ist. Bezüglich der Ausführung der Einrichtung 7 wird vollinhaltlich auf das Gebrauchsmuster DE-GM 91 12 639 Bezug genommen. Das heiße gasförmige Medium 11 wird an der Einspeisestelle 12 in ein Rohr 5 verbracht. Das Rohr 5 besteht beispielsweise aus Leichtmetall und ist leicht lösbar an der Rückwand 1 befestigt, so daß es im Fall einer Beschädigung schnell ausgetauscht werden kann. Beim Einsatz als Tagziel wird das Rohr 5 und die Beheizungsvorrichtung weggelassen, so daß eine Beschädigung durch Treffer oder Splitter unmöglich ist. Zum Zielinnenraum 2 hin weist das Rohr 5 eine Vielzahl von Ausblasöffnungen 8 auf. Diese Öffnungen variieren im Querschnitt D entsprechend den Druckverhältnissen im Rohr 5, so daß unabhängig von der Entfernung E zur Einspeisestelle 6 jeweils die gleiche Menge des beheizten Gases 11 in die verschiedenen Teilbereiche des Innenraumes 2 strömt, welche durch die Rippen/Sicken 4 gebildet werden.The heating is carried out by means of an external device 7, which is connected to the exercise target via a feed line 6. With regard to the design of the device 7, reference is made in full to the utility model DE-GM 91 12 639. The hot gaseous medium 11 is placed in a pipe 5 at the feed point 12. The tube 5 consists for example of light metal and is easily detachably attached to the rear wall 1 so that it can be replaced quickly in the event of damage. When used as a day target, the tube 5 and the heating device are omitted, so that damage by hits or splinters is impossible. The tube 5 has a plurality of blow-out openings 8 toward the target interior 2. These openings vary in cross-section D according to the pressure conditions in the tube 5, so that regardless of the distance E to the feed point 6, the same amount of heated gas 11 flows into the different sub-areas of the interior 2, which are formed by the ribs / beads 4.

Die Praxiserprobung hat gezeigt, daß das Übungsziel leicht zu handhaben und die Zieldarstellung sehr realitätsnah ist. Das Ziel zeigt bei allen Witterungsverhältnissen genügend mechanische Stabilität, die Teile des Zieles lassen sich leicht stapeln und transportieren. Alle Zielteile sind wiederverwendbar, die Herstellkosten und die Kosten für die Wiederaufbereitung sind niedrig.Practical testing has shown that the goal of the exercise is easy to use and that the goal is very realistic. The target shows sufficient mechanical stability in all weather conditions, the parts of the target can be easily stacked and transported. All target parts are reusable, manufacturing costs and reprocessing costs are low.
