US12618627 - Laser ignition system for large-caliber artillery

The patent describes a laser ignition system designed for large-caliber artillery that utilizes a linear laser beam to efficiently ignite propellant in both longitudinal and radial directions. It includes components such as a breech block, laser transfer part, and laser diffusion part to ensure effective combustion while sealing combustion gases.

Claim 1

1 . A laser ignition system for a large-caliber artillery propellant, comprising: a breech block coupled to a gun barrel to seal combustion gas generated by combustion; a laser transfer part mounted in front of an inclined through hole of the breech block to transfer a laser from a laser generator to the large-caliber artillery propellant; a laser diffusion part mounted behind the through hole of the breech block; and the large-caliber artillery propellant mounted inside the gun barrel and formed with a center through hole for firing a shell. a breech block coupled to a gun barrel to seal combustion gas generated by combustion; a laser transfer part mounted in front of an inclined through hole of the breech block to transfer a laser from a laser generator to the large-caliber artillery propellant; a laser diffusion part mounted behind the through hole of the breech block; and the large-caliber artillery propellant mounted inside the gun barrel and formed with a center through hole for firing a shell.
