PATENT:

2799395

INVENTION:

Optical method for measuring time intervals in the study of fast-flowing processes and a device for its implementation.

INVENTOR(S):

Bugrov Vladimir Gennadyevich, Chevtaev Sergey Alexandrovich, Lovyagin Boris Mikhailovich, Dudoladov Vyacheslav Ivanovich, Zakharov Mikhail Yuryevich

PATENTEE:

State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (ROSATOM) on behalf of the Russian Federation, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Russian Federal Nuclear Center – All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics" ("RFNC-VNIIEF")

PURPOSE:

To study fast-flowing processes accompanied by the transmission of a light signal, in particular, to record the process of triggering electric detonators forming spark discharges.

INNOVATION:

The main advantage of the proposed method and device is that they allow to obtain two parameters with high accuracy in one experiment – the response time of both each electric detonator and tested group of electric detonators. This is ensured due to the fact that frequency-stabilized timestamps are used, which form the initial light signals at the time of receipt of the initiating pulse simultaneously to all the studied electric detonators. These light signals are recorded by a sensitive photographic film. The data obtained enables the quality improvement of complex mechanisms in which such actuators are used.

SCOPE
OF APPLICATION:

This invention can be used in research laboratories developing new types of actuators, in particular, electric detonators, used in blasting operations at mining enterprises, civil, industrial, reclamation and energy construction facilities.
