Description

Technical field



[0001] The invention relates to pyrotechnic millisecond delay charge for industrial detonators with explosion delay time of 25 to 1,000 ms from initiation. The charge is intended to be compacted into the delay tube, for detonators initiated by fusehead, by a blasting machine generated pulse, and also for detonators initiated by detonation tube non-electrically - by detonating wave, or by a blasting machine generated spark. It relates to electric detonators in a series connection or a series-parallel connection and to non-electric detonators as well, where the firing circuit is created by connecting of detonation tubes of non-electric detonators, especially in aboveground destruction of rocks, mining in stone quarries, underground mining of rocks and driving of tunnels.

[0002] The invention also relates to the way of manufacture of the said charge.

[0003] The invention also relates to electric detonator on its own and is also meant as an independent invention of non-electric detonator, to be used together with the pyrotechnic delay charge.

The contemporary state of art



[0004] At present, to reach the delay of detonators in the range of up to 1, 000 milliseconds, pyrotechnic delay charges containing combustible matter and oxidizer are used. It is altogether Si, B, Zr, Ti metallic powders and Fe+Si+Cr, Si+Se+Fe, Zr+B, Zr+Ni alloys and others that are used as combustibles. Lead monoxide-dioxide and lead dioxide are mostly used as oxidizers. However, such charges contain heavy metals, which get into the environment after the detonator has been used. Therefore, there has been general endeavour aiming at excluding of heavy metals. There are known designs, e.g. according to SE patents 446180 and 457380, where oxidizers are carried out on a non-toxic tin base. Nevertheless, these designs are more demanding in terms of manufacture and have a negative impact on the possibility of time setting up. Also the design by the US patent 5654520 is known, where bismuth ochre is used as oxidizer and elementary silicon is used as combustible. A disadvantage of the solution according to this patent is the necessity of adding a big amount of various additives to achieve the function needed.

[0005] The objective of the invention is to develop such a charge and weight ratios of combustible and oxidizer, which would not be intensive in terms of manufacture and costs, with minimum need of completive additives to achieve time variability and delay exactness. However, the solution should above all meet the condition of absence of heavy metals.

[0006] Again, the objective of the invention is to develop such a way of manufacture of the created delay charge that the resulting parameters agree with the defined objective, and minimum manufacture costs are kept.

[0007] The objective of the invention is also to create electric and non-electric detonator, in which the created composition can be employed.

Survey of figures in the drawings



[0008] Both the electric and non-electric detonator is described in examples of execution by means of attached drawings where Figure 1 shows a non-electric detonator and Figure 2 shows an electric detonator.

The nature of the invention



[0009] The specified objective is reached by a pyrotechnic millisecond delay charge for both electric and non-electric industrial detonators with delay time of explosion of 25 to 1,000 ms from initiation, the subject-matter of which is the proportion according to the invention. It contains ferrosilliconzirconium (hereinafter referred to as FeSiZr) as combustible matter and bismuth ochre (hereinafter referred to as Bi2O3) as oxidizer. These are in proportion of 50 ± 15 wt. % FeSiZr and 50 ± 15 wt. % Bi2O3. FeSiZr is an alloy of dominant elements Si, Zr, Fe and Ti, containing also trace impurities originating from aluminosillicates, which are input substances in manufacture of alloys. The limit representation of dominant elements in FeSiZr according to the invention is as follows: Si at least 30 wt. %, Zr at least 10 wt. %, Fe at the most 25 wt. %, Ti at least 1 wt. %.

[0010] The pyrotechnic charge can contain the additive, titanic oxide (hereinafter referred to as TiO2) in the amount of up to 5 wt. % as combustion speed controller.

[0011] In the pyrotechnic millisecond delay charge, the purity of the substance Bi2O3 is at least 90%.

[0012] In one of the advantageous executions of the pyrotechnic millisecond charge, the FeSiZr alloy consists of Si 52.1 wt. %, Zr 27.4 wt. %, Fe 12.7 wt. %, Ti 5.8 wt. % and impurities 2 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt. %, in proportion of 52.8 wt % Bi2O3 and 47.2 wt. % FeSiZr.

[0013] In another execution, depending on the required qualities, the FeSiZr alloy consists of Si 52.1 wt. %, Zr 27.4 wt. %, Fe 12.7 wt. %, Ti 5.8 wt. %, impurities 2 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt %, in proportion 60.0 wt % Bi2O3 and 40.0 wt. % FeSiZr.

[0014] In another advantageous execution, which proves the variability of final qualities, the FeSiZr alloy consists of Si 63.5 wt. %, Zr 21.3 wt. %, Fe 11.7 wt. %, Ti 1.1 wt. %, impurities 2.4 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt %, in proportion 60.0 wt % Bi2O3 and 40.0 wt. % FeSiZr.

[0015] In another advantageous execution, the FeSiZr alloy consists of Si 63.5 wt. %, Zr 21.3 wt. %, Fe 11.7 wt. %, Ti 1.1 wt. %, impurities 2.4 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt % , in proportion 50.0 wt % Bi2O3 and 50.0 wt. % FeSiZr, eventually the FeSiZr alloy consists of 63.5 wt. %, Zr 21.3 wt. %, Fe 11.7 wt. %, Ti 1.1 wt. %, impurities 2,4 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt % ,in proportion 55.0 wt % Bi2O3 an d 45.0 wt. % FeSiZr.

[0016] In an execution with TiO2 additive, the FeSiZr alloy can consist of Si 63.5 wt. %, Zr 21.3 wt. %, Fe 11.7 wt. %, Ti 1.1 wt. %, impurities 2,4 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt % and with TiO2 of purity 98 wt. %, in proportion 53..9 wt % Bi2O3, 44.1 wt. % FeSiZr and 2.0 wt. % TiO2.

[0017] In another advantageous execution with TiO2 additive, the FeSiZr alloy consists of Si 63.5 wt. %, Zr 21.3 wt. %, Fe 11.7 wt. %, Ti 1.1 wt. %, impurities 2.4 wt %, with Bi2O3 of purity 99.8 wt % and with TiO2 of purity 98 wt. % , in proportion 52.3 wt % Bi2O3, 42.7 wt. % FeSiZr and 5.0 wt. % TiO2.

[0018] The subject matter of the invention is also the way of manufacture of the pyrotechnic millisecond delay charge for electric and non-electric industrial detonators with delay time of explosion of 25 up to 1,000 ms from initiation. The principle of the way of manufacture consists in that ferrosilliconzirconium (hereinafter referred to as FeSiZr) with limit representation of the dominant elements Si at least 30 wt. %, Zr at least 10 wt. %, Fe at the most 25 wt. % and Ti at least 1 wt. %, is prepared in the physical process of grinding to the particle size in the range from 1-10 µm, bismuth ochre (hereinafter referred to as Bi2O3) of purity at least 95% is also prepared to the particle size in the range of 1- 10 µm. Then these two components in proportion 50 ± 10 wt. % FeSiZr and 50 ± 15 wt. % Bi2O3 are mechanically homogenized and pelletized with pressure of 255 MPa. Next, they are crushed to grading of 0.2 - 0.8 mm grain size.

[0019] Afterwards, the charge is pressed into the delay tube of the detonator under pressure of 280 MPa with the column height of 20 mm.

[0020] The principle of the way of manufacture according to the invention is also that up to 5 wt. % TiO2 of purity at least 95%, prepared to particle size in the range of 1- 10 µm, is added to FeSiZr and Bi2O3 before homogenization.

[0021] The subject matter of the non-electric industrial detonator with enclosure in the shape of a shell with inserted detonation tube is the fact that in the enclosure there is created a space at least for primary explosive and for delay charge, and the shell, which is closed at the bottom, has a space in the bottom part that has been created for secondary explosive, which space is closed with the delay tube from above. In its cylindrical box there is arranged primary explosive, and delay charge is above it. Above the delay tube, in the shell there is inserted a sleeve with amplifying composition, closed with a cover. A detonation tube, fitted with insulation against the enclosure, is inserted into the shell from the upper side.

[0022] The subject matter of the electric industrial detonator is that in the shell it has a fusehead inserted, with lead-in wires, which are fitted with insulation against the shell enclosure, the other technical features are the same as those of ther non-electric detonator described above.

[0023] The main advantage, and at present a particularly appreciated enhanced effect, is the absence of heavy metals, seeing that the presence of heavy metals even in consumables, e.g. in mineral salt, apparently due to the way of mining, is a great issue in those parts of the world that are actively used for industry. The pyrotechnic charge is free of lead oxides or chromates, and free of barium. The benefit of this solution is that while the above mentioned main advantage is preserved, simplicity of manufacture and versatility of use for various intervals of required delay, even at high accuracy, are provided. The variability of delay is achieved due to the proportion of the basic components and it is not necesary to add any other additives. As far as the field of application is concerned, this solution appears to be very simple and practical and not demanding for technology or investment in terms of production.
