Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schalldämpfer für Schusswaffen, insbesondere Handoder Faustfeuerwaffen, der ein Außenrohr aufweist, in dem ein Dämpfungskern angeordnet ist, der einen Geschosskanal und Prallwände aufweist, wodurch Ringkammerabteile ausgebildet sind, die gasdicht voneinander getrennt sind, wobei das Außenrohr und/oder der Dämpfungskern aus Aluminium besteht.The invention relates to a silencer for firearms, in particular handguns or fist guns, which has an outer tube in which a damping core is arranged, which has a projectile channel and impact walls, whereby annular chamber compartments are formed which are separated from one another in a gas-tight manner, wherein the outer tube and/or the damping core is made of aluminum.

Schalldämpfer für Hand- oder Faustfeuerwaffen sind an sich bekannt. Die Schalldämpfer weisen ein Außenrohr auf, welches innen einen zylindrischen Raum ausbildet, in dem ein Dämpfungskern angeordnet ist. Der Dämpfungskern kann einteilig oder mehrteilig gestaltet sein. Er hat einen Geschosskanal, der in der Regel entlang seiner Längsmittellinie verläuft. Der Dämpfungskern weist Prallwände auf, wodurch Ringkammerabteile ausgebildet sind, die gasdicht voneinander getrennt sind. Die Ringkammerabteile bremsen die aus der Mündung austretenden Triebgase des Projektils ab und kühlen diese, was die Schallemission bei Abgabe eines Schusses reduziert und so zu einer Minderung des Mündungsknalls und des Mündungsfeuers führt.Silencers for handguns or pistols are well known. Silencers have an outer tube that forms a cylindrical space inside, in which a damping core is arranged. The damping core can be designed in one or more parts. It has a bullet channel that usually runs along its longitudinal center line. The damping core has impact walls, which form ring chamber compartments that are separated from each other in a gas-tight manner. The ring chamber compartments slow down and cool the propellant gases of the projectile that exit the muzzle, which reduces the sound emission when a shot is fired and thus reduces the muzzle blast and muzzle flash.

Schalldämpfer sind ursprünglich aus Stahl hergestellt, weil diese über eine sehr gute Wärme-Absorption verfügen. Nachteilig an ihnen ist insbesondere ihr recht hohes Gewicht. Aus diesem Grund finden immer häufiger Schalldämpfer aus Aluminium Anwendung, insbesondere bei Anwendung im Jagdbereich. Schalldämpfer aus Aluminium sind aber thermisch nur geringfügig belastbar. Das gilt insbesondere bei Schnellschusssalven aus automatischen oder halbautomatischen Waffen, beispielsweise mit mehreren kurzfristig hintereinander abgegebenen Schüssen oder Dauerfeuer. Das kann zum Versagen der Schalldämpfer führen.Silencers are originally made of steel because they absorb heat very well. Their main disadvantage is their relatively high weight. For this reason, silencers made of aluminum are increasingly being used, especially in hunting. However, silencers made of aluminum have only a low thermal resistance. This is particularly true for rapid bursts of fire from automatic or semi-automatic weapons, for example with several shots fired in quick succession or continuous fire. This can lead to the silencer failing.

Aus den genannten Gründen finden bei Verwendung durch das Militär, Polizei oder anderen Sicherheitsbehörden fast ausschließlich Schalldämpfer aus Stahl Verwendung, was bei lang andauernden Einsätzen zu früherer Ermüdung führt.For the reasons mentioned above, silencers made of steel are almost exclusively used by the military, police or other security authorities, which leads to earlier fatigue during long-term use.

Aus der US 2015/0260473 A1 ist ein Schalldämpfer bekannt, bei dem das Außenrohr aus Stahl, Aluminium oder dergleichen hergestellt sein kann. Aus der EP 0 107 273 A1 ist ein Schalldämpfer bekannt, bei dem der Dämpfungskern aus Stahl oder Aluminium hergestellt sein kann.From the US 2015/0260473 A1 A silencer is known in which the outer tube can be made of steel, aluminum or the like. EP 0 107 273 A1 A silencer is known in which the damping core can be made of steel or aluminum.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schalldämpfer zu schaffen, der einerseits ein geringes Gewicht hat und andererseits den hohen thermischen Belastungen bei kurzfristig hintereinander abgegebenen Schüssen oder Dauerfeuer Stand hält. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Schutzanspruchs 1 gelöst.Against this background, the invention is based on the object of creating a silencer which, on the one hand, is lightweight and, on the other hand, can withstand the high thermal loads when shots are fired in quick succession or when firing continuously. According to the invention, this object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung ist ein Schalldämpfer geschaffen, ein geringes Gewicht hat und gleichzeitig den hohen thermischen Belastungen bei kurzfristig hintereinander abgegebenen Schüssen oder Dauerfeuer Stand hält. Dies ist durch das den Geschosskanal umgebende Rohr aus Stahl hervorgerufen, welches den auftretenden hohen Temperaturen problemlos widersteht. Gleichzeitig ist das Gewicht des erfindungsgemäßen Schalldämpfers nur unwesentlich höher als das der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Schalldämpfer, die vollständig aus Aluminium bestehen.The invention creates a silencer that is lightweight and at the same time can withstand the high thermal loads that occur when shots are fired in quick succession or when fired continuously. This is due to the steel tube that surrounds the bullet channel, which easily withstands the high temperatures that occur. At the same time, the weight of the silencer according to the invention is only slightly higher than that of the silencers known from the prior art, which are made entirely of aluminum.

Vorteilhaft ist das Innenrohr an seinem der Rückseite zugewandte Ende mit einem Außenkranz versehen. Der Außenkranz führt zu einer formschlüssigen Verbindung des Innenrohrs mit dem Dämpfungskern. Er verhindert, dass das Innenrohr durch das Geschoss und den Luftdruck aus dem Dämpfungskern getrieben wird.It is advantageous for the inner tube to be provided with an outer ring at the end facing the rear. The outer ring creates a positive connection between the inner tube and the damping core. It prevents the inner tube from being driven out of the damping core by the bullet and the air pressure.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Innenrohr mit Bohrungen versehen. Die Bohrungen ermöglichen den Austritt der aus der Mündung austretenden Triebgase in die Ringkammerabteile. Dadurch werden die Triebgase abgebremst und gekühlt.In a further development of the invention, the inner tube is provided with holes. The holes allow the propellant gases emerging from the muzzle to escape into the annular chamber compartments. This slows down and cools the propellant gases.

Die nachfolgend verwendeten Begriffe wie Vorder- und Rückseite oder vorne und hinten beziehen sich auf die Schussrichtung, wobei die Vorderseite in Schussrichtung, die Rückseite entgegen der Schussrichtung weist.The terms used below, such as front and back or front and back, refer to the direction of fire, with the front pointing in the direction of fire and the back pointing against the direction of fire.

Der als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählte Schalldämpfer ist insbesondere für die Anwendung an Hand- oder Faustfeuerwaffen vorgesehen. Er besteht aus einem Außenrohr 1, in dem ein Dämpfungskern 2 angeordnet ist. Der Dämpfungskern 2 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel einteilig; in Abwandlung des Ausführungsbeispiels kann der Dämpfungskern mehrteilig gestaltet sein. Er hat einen Geschosskanal 3, der entlang seiner Längsmittellinie verläuft. Außenrohr 1 und Dämpfungskern 2 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel aus Aluminium hergestellt. Unter den Begriff Aluminium im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung fallen auch Legierungen des Aluminiums, beispielsweise Aluminium-Zink-Legierungen.The silencer chosen as an embodiment is intended in particular for use on handguns or pistols. It consists of an outer tube 1 in which a damping core 2 is arranged. In the embodiment, the damping core 2 is one-piece; in a modification of the embodiment, the damping core can be designed in several parts. It has a bullet channel 3 that runs along its longitudinal center line. In the embodiment, the outer tube 1 and the damping core 2 are made of aluminum. The term aluminum in the sense of the present invention also includes aluminum alloys, for example aluminum-zinc alloys.

Der Dämpfungskern 2 weist Prallwände 4 auf, wodurch im in das Außenrohr 1 eingesetzten Zustand Ringkammerabteile 5 ausgebildet sind, die gasdicht voneinander getrennt sind. Zwischen den Prallwänden 4 sowie in einem der Rückseite zugewandten Bereich weist der Dämpfungskern 2 eine Vielzahl von Bohrungen 6 auf.The damping core 2 has impact walls 4, whereby, when inserted into the outer tube 1, annular chamber compartments 5 are formed which are separated from one another in a gas-tight manner. The damping core 2 has a plurality of bores 6 between the impact walls 4 and in an area facing the rear.

Unmittelbar benachbart zu dem mit den Bohrungen 6 versehenen Bereich ist im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Innengewinde 7 im Dämpfungskern 2 angeordnet, welches zum Verschrauben mit der Waffe dient. An das Innengewinde 7 schließt sich ein hohlzylindrischer Abschnitt 8 an, der im an die Waffe angebrachten Zustand bereichsweise den Lauf der Waffe aufnimmt. Die Rück- und die Vorderseite des Dämpfungskerns 2 sind von Flanschen 9 und 10 gebildet, deren Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser des Außenrohrs 1 entspricht. Der rückseitige Flansch 9 hat ein Außengewinde 11, welches mit einem nicht dargestellten Innengewinde im Außenrohr 1 korrespondiert.In the exemplary embodiment, an internal thread 7 is arranged in the damping core 2 immediately adjacent to the area provided with the holes 6, which serves to screw it onto the weapon. The internal thread 7 is followed by a hollow cylindrical section 8, which, when attached to the weapon, partially accommodates the barrel of the weapon. The rear and front of the damping core 2 are formed by flanges 9 and 10, whose outer diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the outer tube 1. The rear flange 9 has an external thread 11, which corresponds to an internal thread (not shown) in the outer tube 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist in den Geschosskanal 3 ein Innenrohr 12 eingesetzt. Das Innenrohr 12 besteht aus Stahl. Es erstreckt sich im Ausführungsbeispiel lediglich bereichsweise durch den Dämpfungskern 2, nämlich von der Vorderseite des Schalldämpfers bis zur letzten der Rückseite zugewandten Prallwand 4. An seinem der Rückseite zugewandte Ende ist das Innenrohr 12 im Ausführungsbeispiel mit einem Außenkranz 13 versehen. Das Innenrohr 12 ist mit Bohrungen 14 versehen, die mit den Bohrungen 6 deckungsgleich ausgerichtet sind.According to the invention, an inner tube 12 is inserted into the bullet channel 3. The inner tube 12 is made of steel. In the exemplary embodiment, it extends only partially through the damping core 2, namely from the front of the silencer to the last impact wall 4 facing the rear. At its end facing the rear, the inner tube 12 in the exemplary embodiment is provided with an outer ring 13. The inner tube 12 is provided with holes 14 which are aligned congruently with the holes 6.

Bei der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Schalldämpfers wird zunächst das Innenrohr 12 aus Stahl gefertigt. Sodann wird das Innenrohr 12 in einer Gussform platziert, und im Aluminium-Druckgussverfahren mit Aluminium umgossen. Dabei wird das Aluminium im flüssigen oder teigigen Zustand unter hohem Druck in eine vorgewärmte Stahlform gepresst. Das Innenrohr 12 ist nach dem Gießen nicht lösbarer Bestandteil des Dämpfungskerns 2. Das Gießen des Dämpfungskerns 2 ist wesentlich kostensparender als das bisher zur Anwendung kommende spanabhebende Drehen. Im Anschluss werden die Bohrungen 6 und 14 radial in die Baugruppe aus Dämpfungskern 2 und dem eingegossenen Innenrohr 12 gebohrt. Danach wird der Dämpfungskern 2 in das Außenrohr 1 eingeführt und mit diesem verschraubt, wobei an beiden Flanschen 9 und 10 Dichtungsmittel vorgesehen sind, so dass eine gasdichte Verbindung zwischen dem Außenrohr 1 und dem Dämpfungskern 2 geschaffen ist.When producing the silencer according to the invention, the inner tube 12 is first made of steel. The inner tube 12 is then placed in a casting mold and cast with aluminum using the aluminum die-casting process. The aluminum is pressed into a preheated steel mold in a liquid or pasty state under high pressure. After casting, the inner tube 12 is a non-detachable part of the damping core 2. Casting the damping core 2 is significantly more cost-effective than the machining process previously used. The holes 6 and 14 are then drilled radially into the assembly consisting of the damping core 2 and the cast-in inner tube 12. The damping core 2 is then inserted into the outer tube 1 and screwed to it, with sealing means being provided on both flanges 9 and 10 so that a gas-tight connection is created between the outer tube 1 and the damping core 2.

Bei der Benutzung des erfindungsgemäßen Schalldämpfers wird dieser auf den Lauf der Waffe mit dem Innengewinde 7 aufgeschraubt. Der Lauf ist dann bereichsweise von dem Abschnitt 8 aufgenommen. Beim Abfeuern eines Projektils tritt dies aus dem Lauf aus und in den Geschosskanal 3 bzw. das Innenrohr 12 ein und auf der Vorderseite des Schalldämpfers aus diesem aus. Die aus der Mündung des Laufs der Waffe austretenden Triebgase des Projektils treten durch die Bohrungen 6 und 14, die zur Entlüftung und Schallbrechung dienen. Durch die Bohrungen 6 und 14 können die Triebgase in die Ringkammerabteile 5 gelangen, wodurch die Triebgase abgebremst und gekühlt werden. Dadurch wird die Schallemission verringert und der Mündungsknall reduziert.When using the silencer according to the invention, it is screwed onto the barrel of the weapon with the internal thread 7. The barrel is then partially accommodated by the section 8. When a projectile is fired, it exits the barrel and enters the bullet channel 3 or the inner tube 12 and exits from the front of the silencer. The propellant gases of the projectile exiting from the muzzle of the weapon's barrel enter through holes 6 and 14, which serve for ventilation and sound refraction. Through holes 6 and 14, the propellant gases can enter the annular chamber compartments 5, whereby the propellant gases are slowed down and cooled. This reduces the noise emission and the muzzle blast.

Der erfindungsgemäße Schalldämpfer ist in der Lage, den hohen thermischen Belastungen bei kurzfristig hintereinander abgegebenen Feuerstößen oder Dauerfeuer aus automatischen oder halbautomatischen Hand- oder Faustfeuerwaffen Stand zu halten. Dies ist durch das aus Stahl hergestellte und thermisch hoch belastbare Innenrohr 12 gewährleistet. Gleichzeitig ist der Schalldämpfer wesentlich leichter als die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten und für Dauerfeuer geeigneten Schalldämpfer, die vollständig aus Stahl hergestellt sind. Durch die Herstellung des Dämpfungskerns 2 im Aluminium-Druckgussverfahren sind außerdem die Herstellkosten reduziert.The silencer according to the invention is able to withstand the high thermal loads during bursts of fire or continuous fire from automatic or semi-automatic handguns that are fired in quick succession. This is ensured by the inner tube 12 made of steel and capable of withstanding high thermal loads. At the same time, the silencer is significantly lighter than the silencers known from the prior art and suitable for continuous fire, which are made entirely of steel. By producing the damping core 2 using the aluminum die-casting process, the manufacturing costs are also reduced.
