Abstract

Device for protecting against the effect of a landmine, especially for fitting to an armored vehicle by attaching the protective elements to the vehicle base, comprises a concave homogeneous base protection plate (1) having a large radius (7) whose center of the circle lies below the plate. Preferred Features: Elements above the base protection plate in the sump, e.g. torsion bars (2), are positioned a free distance (14) away from the base plate so that they remain undamaged on detonation of a mine and formation of a dynamic dent in the base plate. The base protection plate has a multilayered construction and/or is designed as a sandwich plate.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz gegen die Wirkung einer Landmine, nach den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a device for protection against the action a land mine, according to the in the preamble of claim 1 specified features.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich dabei auf den Schutz von Personen in gepanzerten Fahrzeugen sowie auch das Fahrzeuggehäuse insgesamt gegen die Wirkung der Explosion von Minen, die auf oder im Erdboden verlegt sind.The invention relates to the protection of people in armored vehicles as well as the vehicle housing as a whole against the effect of the explosion of mines on or in the ground are misplaced.

Diese Fahrzeuge haben am Chassis in der Regel einen glatten Unterboden und eine möglichst hohe Bodenfreiheit zwischen Unterboden und Erdboden, die von entsprechend ausgebildeten Rad- oder Kettenfahrwerken sichergestellt wird, damit sich das Fahrzeug auch im Gelände möglichst ungehindert fortbewegen kann.These vehicles usually have a smooth underbody on the chassis and the highest possible ground clearance between the underbody and Soil made by appropriately trained bike or Chain chassis is ensured so that the vehicle is also in the Can move terrain as freely as possible.

Die brisante Druckwirkung der unter dem Fahrzeug explodierenden Mine wirkt auf den relativ großflächigen Fahrzeug- oder Wannenboden, verformt und beschädigt diesen und kann erhebliche Schäden im Fahrzeug verursachen.The explosive pressure effect of the mine exploding under the vehicle acts on the relatively large vehicle or tub floor, deformed and damages it and can cause significant damage to the vehicle cause.

Bisher sind folgende Vorrichtungen und Prinzipien für den Minenschutz bezüglich des Wannenbodens ausgeführt worden. Die einfachste Vorkehrung ist die Auslegung des Wannenbodens mit einer Plattendicke, die gegen eine vorgegebene Minenansprengung sicher ist.So far, the following devices and principles for mine protection regarding the tub floor. The easiest The precaution is to lay out the tub floor with a panel thickness, that is safe against a given mine attack.

Eine andere Möglichkeit liegt darin, die Bodenplatte einer Wanne mittels einer Sandwichplatte, die sich aus verschiedenen übereinanderliegenden Materialien aufbaut und die gegen eine vorgegebene Minenansprengung sicher ist, aufzubauen. Schließlich kann die Bodenstruktur aus übereinanderliegenden Platten und Hohlräumen, dabei auch zum Beispiel Luftschichten, ausgebildet sein, so dass die oberste Platte keine oder nur eine geringe Aufbeulung bei einer vorgegebenen Minenansprengung aufweist.Another option is to use the bottom plate of a tub a sandwich plate made up of different superimposed ones Builds up materials and against a predetermined mine demand is sure to build up. Finally, the floor structure can be made superimposed panels and cavities, including for example Air layers, be formed so that the top plate no or only a small bulge at a given mine demand having.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Vorschläge zur Vermeidung von Beschädigungen gemacht worden.According to the prior art, there are various proposals for Avoidance of damage has been done.

Aus der DE 3119786 ist es bekannt, zum Schutz gegen Minen auf der Unterseite des Fahrzeugs flächige Panzerungselemente anzubringen.From DE 3119786 it is known to protect against mines on the Attach flat armor elements to the underside of the vehicle.

In der DE 19631715 ist der Fahrzeugboden mit einem keilförmig zum Boden ausgebildeten Deflektor ausgerüstet, wobei der Deflektor auch mit einem Gasgenerator ausgerüstet sein kann zur Abstützung von innen und Gegenwirkung gegen die Explosion.In DE 19631715 the vehicle floor is wedge-shaped Ground-trained deflector equipped, the deflector also with a gas generator can be equipped for support from the inside and Counteraction against the explosion.

In der DE 19653283 wird eine Raumzelle als Besatzungsraum im Fahrzeuggehäuse separat elastisch aufgehängt, um damit auch Schockwirkungen, die von außen auf das Fahrzeug wirken, in Bezug auf die Personen im Fahrzeug zu beseitigen.In DE 19653283 a room cell is used as the crew room in the Vehicle housing is separately suspended elastically in order to do so Shock effects that affect the vehicle from the outside in relation to to eliminate the people in the vehicle.

In weiteren Anmeldungen werden Verformungskörper am Fahrzeugboden angebracht, um die Druckwirkung von Minen auf das Fahrzeug zu vermindern.In further registrations, deformation bodies on the vehicle floor attached to the pressure effect of mines on the vehicle Reduce.

In der DE 19941928 werden Dämpfungselemente in einem Zwischenboden unter dem Fahrzeug vorgesehen, die die Minenwirkung mindern und aufnehmen sollen.In DE 19941928 damping elements are in an intermediate floor provided under the vehicle, which reduce the mine effect and should record.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Schutzsystem auszubilden, daß eine ausreichende Schutzwirkung bei einfachem und robustem Aufbau für die Besatzung eines gepanzerten Fahrzeugs gewährleistet.The object of the invention is a generic protection system train that a sufficient protective effect with simple and robust construction for the crew of an armored vehicle guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing Features of claim 1 solved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird der Wannenboden unter dem Fahrzeug aus einer konkav geformten Sandwichplatte (1) mit einer geeigneten Dicke und mit einem geeigneten Flächengewicht so hergestellt, dass eine geforderte Bodenfreiheit (3) gegeben ist bzw. erhalten bleibt. Oberhalb des Wannenbodens liegende Einbauten wie zum Beispiel die Federstäbe eines Drehstablaufwerkes werden so eingebaut, dass eine durch Minenexplosion auftretende Beulung im Bodenblech (1) diese Stäbe nicht erreicht und keine Beschädigungen hervorruft. Die Seitenflanschplatte (4) zur Aufnahme der Tragarmlagergehäuse (5) wird als abgewinkeltes Blech (6) unterhalb der Sandwichplatte (1) zusätzlich als tragendes Element und zur Erhöhung der Fahrzeugbodenstabilität herangezogen.According to the tub floor under the vehicle from one concave shaped sandwich plate (1) with a suitable thickness and with a suitable basis weight so that a required Ground clearance (3) is given or is maintained. Above the Built-in components such as the spring bars of a bathtub floor Torsion bar drive are installed so that one by mine explosion bulge occurring in the floor panel (1) does not reach these rods and causes no damage. The side flange plate (4) for Support arm bearing housing (5) is received as an angled plate (6) below the sandwich panel (1) also as a load-bearing element and for Increase in vehicle floor stability.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemässen Ausbildung des Fahrzeugbodens liegen insbesondere in der Einsparung von Bauraum und von Gewicht. Nach einer Mineneinwirkung sind Schäden einfacher zu beheben. Die Seitenflanschplatten stabilisieren den Fahrzeugboden und erhöhen die Festigkeit der gesamten Bodenkonstruktion. Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The advantages of the design of the vehicle floor according to the invention are particularly in the saving of space and weight. Damage is easier to repair after exposure to a mine. The Side flange plates stabilize the vehicle floor and increase it Strength of the entire floor construction. There are further advantages from the subclaims.
