Abstract:

To optimize the mechanism of a single-degree-of-freedom linear-motion setback arming device of a fuze, the effect of the spring preload on the dynamic response characteristics of the inertial unit under different friction conditions was studied. The rigid body dynamics theory and ADAMS rigid body dynamics simulation software were used to study the effect of friction which exists due to the preload of a spring on the locked component on the dynamic response characteristics of the setback arming pin during launch and drop. Through theoretical calculations, the displacement response and velocity response of the setback arming pin under a variety of impact overloads were obtained. The results showed that the frictional retardation effect of the locked component on the setback arming pin contributes to the improvement of the drop safety, and that its effect on the arming performance of the setback arming device during launch is limited. By optimizing the preload force of the spring on the locked component and/or the friction coefficient between the locked component and the setback arming pin, the drop safety of the fuze setback arming device can be improved.
