Field of the Invention
[0001] The invention deals with packing of explosives as e.g. electric, non-electric and
laborated detonators, primers or cartridge explosives, namely packing in packages
used for transport. In particular, it deals with storing of explosive in protective
means the task of which is to prevent transfer of detonation to the adjacent explosives
found in this package, thus preventing transfer of detonation not only between explosives
packed in the same package, but between individual packages as well.
Background of the Invention
[0002] Electric, non-electric and laborated detonators, primers, cartridge explosives and
similar explosive products are packed in transport packages that do not sufficiently
prevent transfer of detonation within a package and between adjacent packages. In
case of undesired initiation of the explosive in a package the detonating wave or
products of the explosive in the package where the explosive is stored produce an
effect on adjacent explosives. In such a case a mass explosion of the package and
subsequently of the whole load may occur. Although a detonator protector according
to
WO 95/19539 is known, it does not provide sufficient protection and variability, especially when
various dimensions of the whole package is needed.
Summary of the Invention
[0003] The above mentioned disadvantages are substantially reduced and increased resistance
against the transfer of detonation in case of accidental initiation of the explosive
when more explosive products are stored in one package is achieved, in accordance
with the presented invention, with a package of explosive products with improved resistance
to transmission of detonation, designed as a system containing at least one packing
unit, stored in a protective and/or transport package. According to the invention,
each of the packing units consists of at least two protective elements and at least
two explosive products where at least some protective elements each contain at least
one explosive product while the protective elements are designed as central bushings
that are equipped on their outer surface with spacing protrusions that have, at least
on their outer parts, a bend and/or extension, and/or are equipped with at least one
transversal surface to create and/or maintain air gaps around the central bushings
of the protective elements in the packing units in this package and at the same time
to shield free propagation of pressure and/or to shield the movement of splinters
from the central bushing or between the central bushings towards the other explosive
products stored in this package and/or in its vicinity, the central bushing of each
protective element being, with regard to the shape of the explosive product or explosive
products, adapted on at least a part of its inner surface in such a way that it tightly
fits the explosive product or explosive products, , whereby the protective element
on its outer surface is always equipped with at least two spacing protrusions terminated
at their free ends with a part of a connecting lock designed for the connection with
the corresponding part of the connecting lock of another protective element.
[0004] It is advantageous when the protective element is equipped with at least two spacing
protrusions designed as shielding ribs, designed for attenuation of all manifestations
of detonation of the impact wave type or the type of kinetic energy of the resulting
splinters and for prevention of transmission of detonation to an adjacent explosive
product or explosive products. The advantages of this way of packing are manifested
most significantly if the explosive products are selected from the range: initiators
containing an explosive, primer cartridges and cartridge explosives. The protective
elements in this packing are beneficially created as single protective elements and/or
collective protective elements. To create the required shape of the packing unit you
can combine single and collective protective elements. It is especially advantageous
if in each protective element just one explosive product is stored. However, generally
it is possible, within the presented design, to select alternatives when in one protective
element two and more explosive products are stored that will individually have a lower
detonation capacity. You can also select an alternative that in some protective elements
no explosive product will be stored, which will increase the distances between the
explosive products in the whole package and you will be able to use the same protective
elements to create a package with explosive products with a higher detonation capacity.
The single protective element is advantageously designed in such a way that the distance
protrusions of its central bushing are adapted to maintain a higher mutual distance
of the explosive products than the distance corresponding to the possibility of free
transmission of detonation. One of alternative beneficial designs is such a design
where the central bushing of the single protective element is always equipped with
four to eight spacing protrusions designed as shielding ribs, adapted to attenuate
all manifestations of detonation of the impact wave type or the type of kinetic energy
of the resulting splinters and to prevent the transmission of the detonation to the
adjacent explosive product or explosive products where the adaptation for attenuation
of detonation manifestations consists in creating transversal surfaces at the ends
of the shielding ribs and at the same time the single protective element is reinforced
to maintain the mutual distance from the adjacent explosive products is such a way
that the ends of all the spacing protrusions are interconnected with a perimeter ring.
In another alternative it is advantageous if the central bushing of the single protective
element is always equipped with eight spacing protrusions, distributed evenly along
the perimeter of the central bushing where the first four spacing protrusions are
terminated at their free ends with the part of the connecting lock adapted for the
connection with the corresponding part of the connecting lock of another protective
element and the other four spacing protrusions arranged in the intermediate positions
with regard to the first four spacing protrusions are designed as shielding ribs adapted
to attenuate all manifestations of detonation of the impact wave type or the type
of kinetic energy of the resulting splinters where the adaptation for attenuating
detonation manifestations and preventing detonation transmission consists in the creation
of transversal surfaces at the ends of these shielding ribs. It may also be advantageous
if at least some spacing protrusions of the central bushing of the single protective
element are designed as parts of the connecting locks of individual protective elements
for connection in higher groups and at the same time as braces resistant to the radial
pressure to prevent mutual approximation of the explosive products to the distance
that would enable free transmission of detonation. It is further beneficial if an
alternative is created where the spacing protrusions terminated at their free ends
with a part of the connecting lock adapted from the connection with the corresponding
part of the connection lock of another protective element have their free ends adapted
as the parts of the connecting lock created at the same time as an extension with
the shape of a shield designed to attenuate all manifestations of detonation of the
impact wave type or the type of kinetic energy of resulting splinters and to prevent
the transmission of detonation to the adjacent explosive product or explosive products.
In still another alternative it is advantageous if the spacing protrusions terminated
always at their free end with a part of the connecting lock adapted for the connection
with the corresponding part of the connecting lock of another protective element have
their first free ends adapted as parts of the connecting lock created always on the
first protective element as a cylinder and their second free ends created on the second
protective element as a cylindrical bushing with an axial cut-out parallel to the
extension's longitudinal axis where the axial bushing is adapted for axial insertion
of the extension with the cylindrical shape into the above mentioned extension with
the shape of a cylindrical bushing of the first free end. This way a simple connecting
lock is created for connecting protective elements in groups where one protective
element always has the opposite parts of the connecting elements against each other,
arranged on the opposite sides with regard to the protective bushing, allowing you
to extend the group of protective elements arbitrarily to create packages with various
dimensions. In all the alternatives of the single protective element it is advantageous
if the inner surface of the central bushing of the protective element is equipped
with grooves, namely axially arranged grooves where the area of the cross section
of the grooves from the central transversal plane of the bushing towards its open
end, adjusted for introducing the explosive product, does not change or increases
from the central transversal plane of the bushing towards its open end, adjusted for
introducing the explosive product. Such an arrangement supports reliable storage of
explosive products in the protective bushings without the axial hole of the central
bushing where the explosive product is inserted having to be produced with exceptional
preciseness and additionally, this design enables exhaust of combustion products in
case of unwanted detonation, namely through direct channels the cross section of which
may beneficially increase towards the outlet of the hole of this central bushing,
what means towards the open end of the bushing, and moreover these combustion products
and the related pressure wave are directed outside the position of the other explosive
products in the packing. Further, for all the alternatives of the described single
protective elements it is advantageous if these protective elements are made from
plastic from the polymer or copolymer group with a high impact strength while from
this group plastic substances of the polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polystyrene
or acrylonitrile-butadien-styrene type are especially suitable, most advantageously
in such a modification where the plastic is selected from the range of plastic materials
in an electrostatically conductive version. These materials both allow easy mass production
and have good mechanical properties. Mainly using plastic in an electrostatically
conductive design reduces the risk of accumulation of electric charge and subsequent
discharge that could cause unwanted initiation of the explosive products. Still another
principle is a collective protective element created with the use of at least two
single protective elements described above where the principle is that each single
protective element is equipped with at least one spacing protrusion treated at its
end for a fixed non-dismountable connection with the end of a spacing protrusion of
another single protective element while the collective protective element is created
as a block where the single protective elements are attached with a mutual fixed and
non-dismountable connection of the ends of their spacing protrusions. In the case
of collective elements it is advantageous if the fixed and non-dismountable connection
of two single elements in a collective element is created by gluing or welding or
common moulding, e.g. for casting, injection or pressing, of more single protective
elements in one piece or in one operation, with the creation of an interconnection
bridge, always in the place of the ends of the opposite spacing protrusions of the
single protective elements. It is mainly beneficial if the collective protective element
is created in such a way that it consists of single protective elements, firmly connected
in a direct line where the number of individual protective elements in this direct
line is selected from the number of 5, 6, 10, or 12.
[0005] In such arrangements the explosive product is stored in the central bushing of the
protective element that is generally beneficially made of a material with a high impact
strength and individual protective elements equipped beneficially with spacing protrusions,
generally in the shape of shielding ribs ensure that possible impact wave is attenuated
between neighbouring protective elements and possible splinters from the package of
the entire explosive product are caught, namely by the creation of suitable deformation
and catching zones and by the creation of multiple transitions from an environment
to another environment, which prevents, with the selection of adequately dimensioned
thicknesses of the walls of the protective elements and adequately dimensioned distances
between the central bushing, direct propagation of the impact wave. In other words,
the catching and deformation zones of the protective elements consist of structures
with the function of shielding ribs, shaped and positioned in such a way as to disperse
and attenuate the impact wave to the maximum possible way in case of an explosion
in the neighbouring protective element while the mass of the protective element is
able eliminate a possible splinter effect. The structures with the shielding rib function
may be further formed to the shape of connecting locks, so they can be subsequently
used to form larger wholes of these partial protective elements designed as single
or collective elements. Their original shielding function is always maintained. The
protrusions of the central bushings also fulfil the function of spacing structures,
i.e. elements maintaining mutual distances between the above mentioned central bushings
ensuring a safe distance for the particular quantity and type of the packed explosive
or stored explosive products.

each consisting of five single protective elements connected in a fixed and non-dismountable
way.
Description of the Preferred Embodiments
[0007] The package in the sample version is created as a system containing a packing unit
10 stored in a transport package
100 where in this system in the version in accordance with fig. 3 the packing unit
10 consists of twelve single protective elements
1 and of twelve explosive products
4 where each explosive product
4 is inserted in one single protective element
1. To make the description clearer the explosive products
4 for this alternative are only shown in figs. 1 and 2. The single protective elements
1 in this version are designed as individually created and without connecting locks.
This protective element (1) is merely an example, not in accordance with the invention.
The single protective elements
1 are designed here as central bushings 11 that are equipped on their outer surface
with spacing protrusions
12 while the outer parts of the spacing protrusions
12 are equipped with one transversal surface
121 each. Along the perimeter of this single protective element
1 a peripheral ring
123 has been created in addition. The spacing protrusions
12 are designed here as shielding ribs adapted to attenuate all manifestation of detonation
of the impact wave type or the type of kinetic energy of resulting splinters and to
prevent transmission of the detonation to the adjacent explosive product
4 or explosive products
4 while the shielding effect is achieved mainly thanks to the transversal surfaces
121 at the ends of the spacing protrusions
12 designed as shielding ribs in this case. In the second and third version, in accordance
with the invention, with the connection locks
5 shown in figs 4 to 8 the single protective elements
2 as well as the collective protective elements
3 are equipped with a central bushing
21 or
31 and four spacing protrusions
22 or
32 with an extension
2221 and
2222, or
3221 and
3222 on the bushing with the function of a connecting lock
5 and further on the outer parts of the other four spacing protrusions
22 or
32 they always have one transversal surface
221 or
321 as shown in the same sample version, in the alternatives presented in figs. 4 to
8. In all the alternatives these extensions,
2221,2222,3221,3222 or transversally arranged surfaces
121,221,321 are situated at the ends of the spacing protrusions
12,22,32 to create air gaps around the central bushings
11,21,31 of the protective elements
1,2,3 in the packing units
10 in this package and at the same time to prevent free propagation of pressure and
to hinder the movement of splinters from the central bushing
11,21,31 or between the central bushings
11,21,31 towards the other explosive products
4 stored in this package or its vicinity. The function of the transversal surfaces
221,321 in the second and third version is the same as the function of the transversal surface
121 in the first version. In this sample version electric detonators are selected as
the explosive products
4. The protective elements in the first and second version are designed as single protective
elements
1, 2 as shown in figs. 1 to 6 and in the third version the protective elements are designed
as collective protective elements
3 as shown in figs. 7 and 8. To create the required shape of the packing unit
10 you can combine single protective elements
1,
2 and collective protective elements
3 and compose packing units
10 either by freely inserting the protective elements
1 into the transport package
100 or by putting the packing unit
10 into the transport package
100 in the form of an interconnected block created with a mutual connection of single
protective elements
2 and collective protective elements
3 with the use of connecting locks
5. In these cases the protective elements
1,2,3 are adapted for storing one explosive product
4 each. In each single protective element
1 designed in this first version without connecting locks
5 just one explosive product
4 is inserted, only in fig. 3 the explosive products
4 are not shown. In the second and third version no explosive products
4 are inserted in the protective elements
2 and
3 as shown in figs 4 to 8. The single protective element
1 of the packing unit
10 for the packing of explosive products
4 is designed in such a way here that the central bushing
11 of the single protective elements
1 is, with regard to the shape of the explosive product
4 adapted on its inner surface in such a way that it tightly fits the explosive product
4 as shown in fig. 1. Each single as well as collective protective element
1,2,3 is designed in such a way that the spacing protrusions
12,22,32 of its central bushing
11,21,31 are adapted to maintain a higher mutual distance of the explosive products
4 than the distance corresponding to the possibility of free transmission of detonation.
This is a figure that is determined in advance for each explosive product
4 and the corresponding distance is created with the use of the protective elements
4 in accordance with this figure. In the first version of this sample design shown
in figs. 1, 2 and 3 there is also an adaptation for reinforcing this single protective
element
1 and for maintaining a mutual distance from the adjacent explosive products
4 consisting in the fact that the ends of all the spacing protrusions
12 are interconnected with a perimeter ring
123 as mentioned above. In all the presented versions the spacing protrusions
12,22,32 of the central bushing
11,21,31 of the protective elements
1,2,3 are designed as braces resistant to the axial pressure to prevent mutual approximation
of the explosive products
4 to a distance that would allow free transmission of detonation. Protective elements
1,2,3 designed this way keep their shape ensuring a safe mutual distance between the explosive
products
4 even in a situation when during insertion of the packing unit
10 in the transport package
100 or removing from the transport package
100 or during transport or even in case of unwanted initiation of the explosive product
4 lateral compression of the protective element
1,2,3 occurs.
[0008] The versions shown in figs. 4 to 8 where the spacing protrusions
22,32 terminated at their free ends with parts of a connecting lock
5 adapted for the connection with the corresponding part of the connection lock
5 of another protective element
2,3 have their free ends adapted as the parts of the connecting lock 5 designed at the
same time as an extension
2221,2222,3221,3222, namely in the shape of a shield or working as a shield to attenuate all manifestations
of detonation of the impact wave type or the type of kinetic: energy of the resulting
splinters and to prevent transmission of detonation to an adjacent explosive product
4 or explosive products
4. At the same time in these versions the first free ends of the spacing protrusions
22,32 designed as parts of the connection lock
5 are always designed on the first of the relevant couple of the protective elements
2,3 as an extension
2221 or
3221 with the shape of a cylinder, coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the central bushing
21 or
31 while their other ends created on the other of the relevant couple of protective
elements
2,3 are always designed as an extension
2222 or
3222 with the shape of a cylindrical bushing equipped with an axial cut-out
22221 or
32221 and adapted for axial insertion of the extension
2221 or
3221 with the cylindrical shape into the above mentioned extension
2222 or
3222 with the shape of a cylindrical bushing. This way a simple structure of connection
locks
5 for the connection of the protective elements
2,3 in groups is created where thanks to the installation of opposite parts of the connection
locks
5 on one protective element
2,3 against each other on the opposite sides with regard to the central bushing
21 or
31 you can extend the group of protective elements
2,3 arbitrarily and create packages of variable dimensions. In the first version of the
single protective element
1 shown in figs 1, 2 and 3 the surface of the hole of the central bushing 11 of the
single protective element
1 is equipped with axially arranged grooves
13 where the area of the cross section of the grooves does not change from the central
transversal plane of the hole towards the hole outlet. Such an arrangement supports
reliable storage of explosive products
4 in the protective elements
1 without the axial hole of the central bushing 11 where the explosive product
4 is inserted having to be produced with exceptional preciseness and additionally,
this design enables exhaust of combustion products in case of unwanted detonation,
namely through direct channels the cross section of which may beneficially increase
towards the outlet of the hole of this central bushing
11 and moreover these combustion products and the related pressure wave are directed
outside the position of the other explosive products
4 in the package. Such a design with grooves
13 is generally possible in the second and third version as well, but in this sample
design the grooves
13 are only created in the first version and shown in fig. 3 only.
[0009] Further, as the material for the production of all the three displayed versions of
the protective elements
1,2,3 plastic from the polymer or copolymer group with a high impact strength has been
selected while in this particular case polyethylene in an electrostatically conductive
design is used. This material allows easy mass production and has good mechanical
properties as well. Mainly using plastic in an electrostatically conductive design
reduced the risk of accumulation of electric charge and subsequent occurrence of a
discharge, which could cause unwanted initiation of the explosive product. In the
third version in fig. 7 a collective protective element
3 is shown that is made with the use of five single protective elements
2 described above. In this case each such single protective element
2 has two spacing elements
22 the ends of which are adapted for fixed, non-dismountable connection with the end
of the spacing protrusion
22 of another single protective element
2 while the collective protective element
3 is designed as a block where the single protected elements
2 are interconnected with a fixed and non-dismountable connection of the ends of their
spacing protrusions
22. In the case of the collective elements
3 the fixed and non-dismountable connection of two single protective elements
2 in the collective element
3 is created by common moulding for the injection production of more single protective
elements
2 in one piece or in one operation with the creation of an interconnecting bridge
6 in the place of the ends of the opposite sparing protrusions
22 of the single protective elements
2. The collective protective element
3 is designed in such a way that it consists of individual protective elements
2 firmly connected in a direct line
101 where the selected number of individual protective elements
2 in this direct line
101 is five. In other advantageous alternatives, not shown here, the selected number
of individual protective elements
2 in such a direct line
101 may be 6, 10 or 12, which brings a certain advantage when composing the packing unit
10, which may be created with the numbers of the protective elements
2 in multiples of five or ten or alternatively in multiples of six or twelve for regions
where packing in dozens or their parts or multiples is common.
[0010] The versions described above were tested in the testing facility with the use of
the following samples.
Sample 1
[0011] Individual explosive products were designed as electric detonators and were inserted
in separate protective elements as shown in figs. 1 and 2 and further they were put
in the required quantity of twelve pieces in a standard transport package as shown
in fig. 3. The test confirmed that this way transmission of detonation between the
detonators in the package was prevented and the package complied with the requirements
for classification in the group without the risk of detonation transmission.
Sample 2
[0012] Individual explosive products, designed here as non-electric detonators were inserted,
one piece at a time, in a five-part bundle or rather a collective protective element,
in particular they were inserted in the central bushings of this five-part collective
protective element the design of which is shown in fig. 7. These protective elements
were further put in the required quantity in common transport packages. The results
of the tests showed in this case as well that the transmission of detonation between
the detonators in the package was prevented and the package complied with the requirements
for classification in the group without the risk of detonation transmission.
Sample 3
[0013] Explosive products designed here as laborated detonators were inserted, one piece
at a time, to one of the central bushings of each of the collective protective elements
and these collective elements created as fixed and non-dismountable groups of five
individual protective elements were composed by interconnection in the connection
locks in a thirty-part block forming the packing unit shown in fig. 8. The whole created
this way was put in a common transport package. The test confirmed here that the transmission
of detonation between the detonators was prevented here too and that the package as
a whole complied with the requirements for classification in the group without the
risk of detonation transmission.
Industrial applicability

of all types of initiators, primers and cartridge explosives that in the case of common
packing face the risk of the transmission of detonation in case of accidental ignition
with subsequent endangering of property and lives of people. The presented package
