Abstract

Proposed is a cover structure with a double cover structure and a shooting case of munition having the same. The cover structure with a double cover structure includes: a shooting case main body having an inner space with an open upper side; a cover member seated on the open upper side of the shooting case main body to seal the open upper side; and a cover fixing member coupled to the shooting case main body to fix a position of the cover member, so that the position of the cover member is strongly fixed while simplifying a structure by the double cover structure to increase an internal pressure of the shooting case, thereby increasing a range of munition and maintaining performance of munition.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cover structure with a double cover structure, the cover structure comprising:
a shooting case main body having an inner space with an open upper side;
a cover member seated on the open upper side of the shooting case main body to seal the open upper side; and
a cover fixing member coupled to the shooting case main body to fix a position of the cover member,
wherein the cover fixing member has a cover locking part formed on an upper end side thereof to lock and fix the upper surface of the cover member,
wherein the cover locking part comprises a plurality of cover locking parts disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction to lock and fix the upper surface of the cover member, and
wherein the cover locking parts comprise:
a first locking part protruding to an inner circumferential surface of the cover fixing member; and
a second locking part disposed to protrude from an end side of the first locking part to a lower side.

2. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein the cover fixing member is screw-coupled to the upper side of the shooting case main body and presses the cover member to fix the position of the cover member.

3. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein a conic munition insertion part having a diameter gradually decreased toward the upper side thereof is placed on a lower surface of the cover member.

4. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein the cover fixing member is formed in a circular ring shape that has one portion overlapped with and screw-coupled to the shooting case main body and has a remaining portion with a height capable of surrounding and supporting an outer circumferential surface of the cover member,
a first screw-coupling part is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of a lower end side of the cover fixing member, and
a second screw-coupling part having a thread on an outer circumferential surface thereof to be engaged with the first screw-coupling part is disposed on an upper end part of the shooting case main body.

5. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cover locking parts are spaced apart from a center of the cover fixing member at predetermined angles, thereby being disposed to be spaced apart from each other at equal angles to uniformly distribute and support a pressure applied to the cover member.

6. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein the cover member comprises:
a shooting case insertion part inserted into the shooting case main body;
a shooting case receiving part disposed on an upper side of the shooting case insertion part and disposed to protrude to the outside of the shooting case insertion part to be seated on an upper end part of the shooting case; and
a locking support protrusion part disposed to protrude from an upper surface of the shooting case receiving part and having a locking step part formed on an outer circumference thereof to allow the cover locking parts to be locked thereto.

7. The cover structure of claim 1 , wherein an inner circumferential surface of the second locking part comes in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the locking support protrusion part to be supported thereby.

8. The cover structure of claim 6 , wherein an O-ring insertion groove part is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shooting case insertion part, and
the cover member further comprises a first O-ring member inserted into the O-ring insertion groove to seal the inside of the shooting case main body.

9. The cover structure of claim 8 , wherein the cover locking parts comprises:
a first locking part protruding to an inner circumferential surface of the cover fixing member;
a second locking part disposed to protrude from an end side of the first locking part to a lower part; and
a second O-ring member disposed in a space formed between the inner circumferential surface of the cover fixing member and the outside of the second locking part.
