Simulation of the Impact of Ballistic Centrifugal Environment on the Arming Delay Time of Fuze Clockwork Mechanism
The clockwork mechanism is a typical time-delay arming device in the fuze safety system. In actual ballistic environments
the rotation of projectile and the collisions between components significantly impact arming delay time removal in the fuze clockwork mechanism
potentially resulting in the safety failures within the safe arming distance or the fuze function failure on the target. Due to significant differences in the rotational environments of spin-stabilized and non-spin-stabilized projectiles
this study investigates the influence of rotational environments on arming delay time of the fuze clockwork mechanism during practical applications. The dynamics of the fuze clockwork mechanism are simulated to analyze the effects of projectile rotation
torsion spring stiffness
and component collision on the rotor's arming time. The simulated results are validated through experiments. The results indicate that the projectile rotation and component collisions have significant affect on the rotor's arming delay time. By adjusting the stiffness coefficient of torsion spring in the clockwork mechanism
the arming delay time can be effectively modified to meet the safety control requirements for different types of projectiles in combat scenarios. This study provides important theoretical support and engineering guidance for the safety design and control of fuzes.
