Abstract
An activatable battery for an electronic artillery fuse and mortar fuse includes an ampoule filled with an electrolyte, and an activation device for rupturing the ampoule. In order to evaluate the duration of a mechanical impulse acting on the battery, the activation device can be freed by a timing member having an inertia body which is axially and rotatably displaceable and against which a compression spring is operative. A compact structure and reliable installation of the ampoule in the battery is achieved in that the battery has an upper battery portion and a lower battery portion, the activation device is provided in the upper battery portion and the ampoule is disposed immovably in the lower battery portion.
Claims16
An activatable battery for an electronic artillery fuse and mortar fuse, the activatable battery comprising:
- an upper battery portion and a lower battery portion;
- an ampoule to be filled with an electrolyte, said ampoule being disposed immovably in said lower battery portion;
- an activation device disposed in said upper battery portion for rupturing said ampoule;
- a timing member for freeing said activation device for evaluation of a duration of a mechanical impulse acting on the battery, said timing member having an axially and rotatably displaceable inertia body;
- and a compression spring operative against displacement of said inertia body;
- said activation device including an ampoule striker and a striker spring;
- and wherein when said timing member releases said ampoule striker, said ampoule striker moves and ruptures said ampoule;
- wherein said ampoule striker and said striker spring are located in said upper battery portion.
