Low-G Zigzag Device for High Voltage Converter Safety

摘要

This report describes the design and fabrication of an acceleration sensing mechanism that can be used to provide handling safety in electronic fuzing applications. It compares several different concepts, analyzes the selected concept, defines the model that was built, and presents preliminary test results. The device operates at 9 g to bring together two halves of a magnetic core assembly in a high converter in the arming system. It uses a zigzag cam and flywheel mechanism to achieve a high degree of handling safety, and also has a compact solenoid locking system.
