Abstract

When the electro-magnetic rail-gun is fired, the transient strong magnetic field environment in the bore will produce induced current in the radio fuze circuit and affect the normal operation of the fuze. Therefore, reasonable shielding and protective measures need to be taken to ensure the reliable operation of the fuze control circuit. Based on Faraday's law of electro-magnetic induction, a comprehensive electro-magnetic protection method for radio fuze suitable for electro-magnetic rail-gun is proposed in this paper. This method utilizes a high permeability material shell for magnetic shielding to decrease the magnetic induction intensity of the fuze circuit. Additionally, the eddy current effect of high conductivity metal material is utilized to slow down the change rate of magnetic induction intensity of the fuze circuit. The circuit area of the fuze is minimized through reasonable circuit design, and the layout of the circuit board is optimized to reduce the dot multiplication of the circuit loop area vector and the magnetic field direction. Through the simulation analysis of the finite element model of radio fuze in strong magnetic field, the effectiveness of the above electro-magnetic protection method was proved. The research results of this paper can provide reference for the design of radio fuze of electro-magnetic rail-gun.
