- Vehicles having a front axle carrying a front axle and a rear trolley carrying one or more rear axles, which are detachably connected to an often ballistically protected safety cell become a modular structure of different vehicle types, especially in the military sector used.
- the safety cell accommodating the vehicle crew is carried highly protected by means of ballistic protective plates, so that enemy projectiles can not penetrate into the interior of the protected safety cell. Due to the detachable connection of the safety cell with the front or rear of the vehicle can be equipped according to the expected threat, for example, with different security cells different levels of protection.
- Such a three-part structure with a front end, a rear end and a security cell exhibiting military vehicle is for example in the EP 1 564 518 A1 described.
- a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 is in the DE102006051870 A1 disclosed.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle in which the crew members are protected within the safety cell in a simple manner against Blastein stricture.
- the protective element is not connected to the safety cell, but only to the front or rear. There is no direct contact between the protective element and the safety cell. In the case of a blast acting on the protective element, therefore, it does not strike directly into the safety cell, but the shock introduction resulting from the blast is initially introduced from the protective element into the front or rear carriage. About the front or rear car then this meets with a certain lateral delay and significantly attenuated to the safety cell. This results in a longer, over the front or rear carriage extending path of the Blasteinturm occurring shock initiation.
- the associated mitigation allows a structurally simple way effective protection of the persons located within the security cell.
- the invention provides that the protective element and the safety cell are arranged decoupled from one another such that a blast acting on the protective element acts on the safety cell taking the path over the front or rear carriage.
- a blast acting on the protective element acts on the safety cell taking the path over the front or rear carriage.
- the invention further provides that the safety cell is rigidly connected via mounting points with the front of the vehicle and the rear, whereby a vehicle body of great rigidity can be achieved with relatively low weight.

- the bottom of the security cell no joints between the security cell and the protective element are provided.
- a small vehicle weight conducive embodiment of the invention provides that the safety cell is self-supporting and forms a self-supporting center part of the vehicle. It is not necessary to provide further support elements, such as a vehicle frame extending from the front to the rear, whereby a comparatively lightweight construction of the vehicle can be realized. Furthermore, it is possible to replace the safety cell and the protective element with variants of a different length, which further enhances the basic modular concept of the vehicle.

- the connection may be rigid, wherein the connections are preferably fixedly arranged on the front or rear carriage.
- a construction which is advantageous with regard to the weakening of the blast effect provides that the mounting locations are arranged above the connections. About the connections the blast acting on the protective element and the resulting shock initiation first enters the area of the front or rear carriage, and then has to overcome within the front or rear carriage still a certain vertical path, before this on the higher lying Mounting points can enter the security cell.
- the distance between the mounting locations and the connection is at least one third of the height of the security cell, more preferably at least half.
- connections are formed in the manner of crumple zones which can be deformed vertically under blast effect.

- the vehicle 1 can be driven by means of a motor arranged in the front car 2 or the rear car 3.
- a motor arranged in the front car 2 or the rear car 3.
- both the front of the car 2 and the rear 3 are each equipped with its own engine, which gives the vehicle 1 improved runflat in the event of severe damage to one of the two cars 2, 3.
- a protective element 5 extending from one side of the vehicle to the opposite side of the vehicle can be seen, which protects the safety cell 4 from a blast coming from below, caused, for example, by a mine detonation.
- the protective element 5 extends in the area below the safety cell 4 from the front end 2 to the rear end 3 without being in direct contact with the safety cell 4. Due to this decoupled arrangement of the protective element 5 and the security cell 4, a blast acting on the protective element 5 is not introduced directly from the protective element 5 into the security cell 4. The resulting shock from the blast takes place indirectly via the front of the car 2 and the rear 3, which is why the corresponding pressure surges weakened at the safety cell 4 arrived, which will be discussed in more detail below.

- the protective element 5 in its corner areas openings 5. 2, so that it can be rigidly fixed by means of bolts to the provided on the front of the car 2 and 3 rear attachments 6 by screwing. Due to the rigid connection of the protective element 5 to the front end 2 and the rear end 3, the solid protection element 5 forms part of the supporting structure of the vehicle 1.
- the protective element 5 is of overall U-shaped geometry, wherein the legs of the U are formed by lateral elevations 5.1.

- the lateral elevations 5.1 are connected by screwing with the otherwise integrally designed protective element 5.
- the connections 6 for mounting the protective element 5 consist of an angle 6.1 forming a crumple zone and a flange plate 6.2 arranged on the underside of the angle 6.1, to which the protective element 5 is fastened by screwing.
- There are two connections 6 are arranged on the front of the car 2 and two connections 6 on the rear 3.

- the legs of the angle 6.2 embrace the adjacent in the assembled state Corners of the safety cell 4.
- the corners of the safety cell 4 are loose within the angle 6.2.
- the security cell 4 is rigidly connected to both the front of the car 2 and the rear 3 via corresponding mounting points 4. 1.
- the mounting points 4. 1 are arranged at the front and the rear side of the safety cell 4 in the corners and formed in the manner of tab-like supports which rest on substantially horizontally extending mating surfaces 8 of the front carriage 2 and rear carriage 3 and are releasably secured by screwing.
- the mounting elements 4. 1 are in the embodiment approximately at the level of a horizontal center plane of the safety cell 4 above the connections. 6
- the safety cell 4 is self-supporting and, like the protective element 5, forms part of the supporting structure of the vehicle 1, which results in a high rigidity of the vehicle. It is not necessary to provide an additional support frame or the like in the central region of the vehicle 1, which on the one hand enables a comparatively low vehicle weight and on the other hand is beneficial to the basic modular construction of the vehicle 1.
- the pressure surges resulting from a blast effect are introduced only indirectly via the front end 2 and the rear end 3 into the security cell 4. This results in a certain time delay, which means that the pressure peaks that typically occur during a minentone discharge during the first milliseconds are not introduced into the safety cell 4.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein militärisches Fahrzeug, mit einem Vorderwagen und einem Hinterwagen sowie einer zwischen dem Vorderwagen und dem Hinterwagen angeordneten, die Fahrzeugbesatzung aufnehmenden Sicherheitszelle.The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a military vehicle, having a front end and a rear end and a arranged between the front end and the rear end, the vehicle crew receiving security cell.
Fahrzeuge mit einem eine Vorderachse tragenden Vorderwagen und einem eine oder mehrere Hinterachsen tragenden Hintererwagen, die mit einer oftmals ballistisch geschützten Sicherheitszelle lösbar verbunden sind, werden vor allem in militärischen Bereich zum modularen Aufbau unterschiedlicher Fahrzeugtypen verwendet. Die die Fahrzeugbesatzung aufnehmende Sicherheitszelle wird mittels ballistischer Schutzplatten hochgeschützt ausgeführt, so dass gegnerische Geschosse nicht in das Innere der geschützten Sicherheitszelle eindringen können. Durch die lösbare Verbindung der Sicherheitszelle mit dem Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen kann das Fahrzeug entsprechend der zu erwartenden Bedrohung beispielsweise mit verschiedenen Sicherheitszellen unterschiedlicher Schutzniveaus ausgestattet werden.Vehicles having a front axle carrying a front axle and a rear trolley carrying one or more rear axles, which are detachably connected to an often ballistically protected safety cell, become a modular structure of different vehicle types, especially in the military sector used. The safety cell accommodating the vehicle crew is carried highly protected by means of ballistic protective plates, so that enemy projectiles can not penetrate into the interior of the protected safety cell. Due to the detachable connection of the safety cell with the front or rear of the vehicle can be equipped according to the expected threat, for example, with different security cells different levels of protection.
Ein einen solchen dreiteiligen Aufbau mit einem Vorderwagen, einem Hinterwagen sowie einer Sicherheitszelle aufweisendes militärisches Fahrzeug ist beispielsweise in der
Ein Fahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist in der
Während sich die Sicherheitszelle durch Anbringen entsprechender Schutzplatten ohne Weiteres gegen ballistische Bedrohungen schützen lässt, bereiten vor allem Minenbedrohungen Probleme. Ein Hauptproblem liegt darin, dass sich unterhalb der Sicherheitszelle angeordnete Schutzelemente in Folge der bei einer Minendetonation flächigen Blasteinwirkung in Richtung des Innenraums der Sicherheitszelle verformen, was mit einer erhöhten Gefahr für Leib und Leben der Besatzungsmitglieder verbunden ist.While the safety cell can easily be protected against ballistic threats by attaching appropriate protective plates, mine threats in particular pose problems. One major problem is that protective elements located below the safety cell deform in the direction of the inner space of the safety cell as a result of the blowing effect in a mine detonation, which is associated with an increased risk to the life and limb of the crew members.
Um diese Gefahren zu verringern, werden in konstruktiver Hinsicht teilweise sehr aufwändige Gegenmaßnahmen im Inneren der Sicherheitszelle ergriffen. So ist es beispielsweise bekannt, die im Inneren der Sicherheitszelle angeordneten Elemente in einer hängenden Anordnung am Dach der Sicherheitszelle anzuordnen, so dass sich eine Verformung des Bodens der Sicherheitszelle nicht direkt auf das Innere der Sicherheitszelle und damit die Körper der Besatzungsmitglieder überträgt.In order to reduce these dangers, sometimes very complex countermeasures are taken inside the safety cell in terms of design. Thus, for example, it is known to arrange the elements arranged inside the safety cell in a hanging arrangement on the roof of the safety cell, so that a deformation of the bottom of the safety cell does not transmit directly to the interior of the safety cell and thus the bodies of the crew members.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Fahrzeug anzugeben, bei welchem die Besatzungsmitglieder innerhalb der Sicherheitszelle auf einfache Weise vor Blasteinwirkung geschützt werden.Object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle in which the crew members are protected within the safety cell in a simple manner against Blasteinwirkung.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Fahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der Vorderwagen und der Hinterwagen sind im Bereich unterhalb der Sicherheitszelle über ein die Sicherheitszelle vor Mineneinwirkung schützendes Schutzelement verbunden.This object is achieved in a vehicle of the type mentioned by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. The front and rear vehicles are connected in the area below the safety cell via a protective element protecting the safety cell from the action of mines.
Das Schutzelement ist nicht mit der Sicherheitszelle, sondern nur mit dem Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen verbunden. Es besteht kein direkter Kontakt zwischen dem Schutzelement und der Sicherheitszelle. Im Falle eines auf das Schutzelement einwirkenden Blasts schlägt dieser daher nicht direkt in die Sicherheitszelle durch, sondern die aus dem Blast resultierende Schockeinleitung wird von dem Schutzelement her kommend zunächst in den Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen eingeleitet. Über den Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen trifft diese dann mit einer gewissen seitlichen Verzögerung und deutlich abgeschwächt auf die Sicherheitszelle. Es ergibt sich ein längerer, sich über den Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen erstreckender Laufweg der bei Blasteinwirkung auftretenden Schockeinleitung. Die damit verbundene Abschwächung erlaubt auf konstruktiv einfache Weise einen effektiven Schutz der sich innerhalb der Sicherheitszelle befindenden Personen.The protective element is not connected to the safety cell, but only to the front or rear. There is no direct contact between the protective element and the safety cell. In the case of a blast acting on the protective element, therefore, it does not strike directly into the safety cell, but the shock introduction resulting from the blast is initially introduced from the protective element into the front or rear carriage. About the front or rear car then this meets with a certain lateral delay and significantly attenuated to the safety cell. This results in a longer, over the front or rear carriage extending path of the Blasteinwirkung occurring shock initiation. The associated mitigation allows a structurally simple way effective protection of the persons located within the security cell.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Schutzelement und die Sicherheitszelle derart voneinander entkoppelt angeordnet sind, dass ein auf das Schutzelement einwirkender Blast den Weg über den Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen nehmend auf die Sicherheitszelle wirkt. Über den Vorder- bzw.The invention provides that the protective element and the safety cell are arranged decoupled from one another such that a blast acting on the protective element acts on the safety cell taking the path over the front or rear carriage. About the front or
Hinterwagen wird der Blast bzw. die aus diesem resultierende Schockeinleitung indirekt, den längeren Weg über den Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen nehmend auf die Sicherheitszelle übertragen, so dass der Blast bzw. die Schockeinleitung deutlich abgeschwächt an der Sicherheitszelle angelangt. Auf Grund dieser Schwächung ist es nicht erforderlich, im Inneren aufwändige Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Besatzung zu ergreifen.Hinterwagen is the blast or the resulting shock induction indirectly, the longer way over the front or Carrying the rear car on the security cell, so that the blast or the shock introduction significantly weakened arrived at the security cell. Due to this weakening, it is not necessary to take elaborate measures inside to protect the crew.
Die Erfindung sieht weiter vor, dass die Sicherheitszelle über Montagestellen mit dem Vorderwagen und dem Hinterwagen starr verbunden ist, wodurch sich ein Fahrzeugaufbau großer Steifigkeit bei vergleichsweise geringem Gewicht erreichen lässt. Insbesondere können die Montagestellen nach Art von Auflagern gestaltet sein, über welche sich die Sicherheitszelle auf entsprechenden Gegenflächen des Vorderwagens bzw. des Hinterwagens abstützt.The invention further provides that the safety cell is rigidly connected via mounting points with the front of the vehicle and the rear, whereby a vehicle body of great rigidity can be achieved with relatively low weight. In particular, the mounting locations can be designed in the manner of supports, via which the safety cell is supported on corresponding mating surfaces of the front of the vehicle or of the rear carriage.
In konstruktiver Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird ferner vorgeschlagen, dass die Montagestellen an der Vorder- und Hinterseite der Sicherheitszelle angeordnet sind. Insbesondere können die Montagestellen in etwa auf halber Höhe der Vorder- bzw. Hinterseite der Sicherheitszelle angeordnet sein. An der Unterseite der Sicherheitszelle sind keine Verbindungsstellen zwischen der Sicherheitszelle und dem Schutzelement vorgesehen.In constructive development of the invention it is further proposed that the mounting points are arranged on the front and rear side of the safety cell. In particular, the mounting points can be arranged approximately at half the height of the front or rear side of the security cell. At the bottom of the security cell, no joints between the security cell and the protective element are provided.
Eine einem geringen Fahrzeuggewicht zuträgliche Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Sicherheitszelle selbsttragend ausgebildet ist und einen selbsttragenden Mittelteil des Fahrzeugs bildet. Es ist nicht erforderlich weitere Tragelemente wie etwa einen sich vom Vorder- zum Hinterwagen erstreckenden Fahrzeugrahmen vorzusehen, wodurch sich eine vergleichsweise leichtgewichtige Bauweise des Fahrzeugs realisieren lässt. Ferner ist es möglich, die Sicherheitszelle und das Schutzelement gegen Varianten anderer Länge auszutauschen, was dem modularen Grundkonzept des Fahrzeugs weiter zuträglich ist.A small vehicle weight conducive embodiment of the invention provides that the safety cell is self-supporting and forms a self-supporting center part of the vehicle. It is not necessary to provide further support elements, such as a vehicle frame extending from the front to the rear, whereby a comparatively lightweight construction of the vehicle can be realized. Furthermore, it is possible to replace the safety cell and the protective element with variants of a different length, which further enhances the basic modular concept of the vehicle.
Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass auch das Schutzelement einen Teil der Tragstruktur des Fahrzeugs bildet, was einer in sich steifen Fahrzeuggesamtkonstruktion zuträglich ist. Auch kann das Schutzelement missionsspezifisch gegen eine anderes Schutzelement ersetzt und in die Fahrzeugtragstruktur integriert werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the protective element forms part of the supporting structure of the vehicle, which is conducive to a rigid overall vehicle construction. Also, the protection element can be mission specific replaced with another protection element and integrated into the vehicle support structure.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass das Schutzelement über Anbindungen mit dem Vorderwagen und dem Hinterwagen verbunden ist. Über die Anbindungen kann das Schutzelement lösbar mit dem Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagen verbunden und missionsspezifisch ausgetauscht werden. Die Verbindung kann starr sein, wobei die Anbindungen vorzugsweise fest an dem Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagens angeordnet sind.A further embodiment provides that the protective element is connected via connections to the front of the car and the rear. About the connections, the protective element can be detachably connected to the front or rear and exchanged missionsspezifisch. The connection may be rigid, wherein the connections are preferably fixedly arranged on the front or rear carriage.
Eine im Hinblick auf die Abschwächung der Blastwirkung vorteilhafte Konstruktion sieht vor, dass die Montagestellen oberhalb der Anbindungen angeordnet sind. Über die Anbindungen tritt der auf das Schutzelement einwirkende Blast und die aus diesem resultierende Schockeinleitung zunächst in den Bereich des Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagens ein, und muss dann innerhalb des Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagens noch einen gewissen Vertikalweg überwinden, bevor diese über die höher liegenden Montagestellen in die Sicherheitszelle eintreten kann. Vorzugsweise beträgt der Abstand zwischen den Montagestellen und der Anbindung mindestens ein Drittel der Höhe der Sicherheitszelle, noch vorteilhafter mindestens die Hälfte.A construction which is advantageous with regard to the weakening of the blast effect provides that the mounting locations are arranged above the connections. About the connections the blast acting on the protective element and the resulting shock initiation first enters the area of the front or rear carriage, and then has to overcome within the front or rear carriage still a certain vertical path, before this on the higher lying Mounting points can enter the security cell. Preferably, the distance between the mounting locations and the connection is at least one third of the height of the security cell, more preferably at least half.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die Anbindungen nach Art von unter Blastwirkung vertikal verformbaren Knautschzonen ausgebildet sind. Durch Verformung der Anbindungen nach Art von Knautschzonen wird ein Teil der durch den Blast freiwerdenden Energie in Verformungsenergie umgewandelt, so dass die Energieeinwirkung auf die Sicherheitszelle geschwächt wird.A further advantageous embodiment provides that the connections are formed in the manner of crumple zones which can be deformed vertically under blast effect. By deformation of the connections in the manner of crumple zones, part of the energy released by the blast is converted into deformation energy, so that the energy impact on the security cell is weakened.
Eine konstruktive Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass die Anbindungen einen sich vertikal erstreckenden Winkel und einen sich horizontal erstreckenden Flansch zur Befestigung des Schutzelements aufweisen. Der sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckende Winkel kann sich unter dem Einfluss eines Blast nach Art einer Knautschzone deformieren, wobei der Flansch zur Befestigung des Schutzelements dient.A structural embodiment provides that the connections have a vertically extending angle and a horizontally extending flange for attachment of the protective element. The angle extending in the vertical direction can deform under the influence of a blast in the manner of a crumple zone, wherein the flange serves to fasten the protective element.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung erstreckt sich das Schutzelement unter Bildung eines Verformungsraums unterhalb der Sicherheitszelle. In Folge eines Blast auftretende Verformungen des Schutzelements verformen sich in den Verformungsraum hinein, ohne das diese auf den Boden der höher liegenden Sicherheitszelle durchschlagen.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the protective element extends to form a deformation space below the safety cell. As a result of a blast occurring deformations of the protective element deform into the deformation space, without this penetrate the bottom of the higher security cell.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Schutzelement nach Art einer die Unterseite der Sicherheitszelle vor Blasteinwirkung abschirmenden Minenschutzplatte ausgebildet ist. Die Minenschutzplatte kann sich durchgängig von einer Fahrzeugseite zur gegenüber liegenden erstrecken.In a further embodiment, it is proposed that the protective element is designed in the manner of a shielding the underside of the safety cell from Blasteinwirkung mine protection plate. The mine guard plate may extend continuously from one side of the vehicle to the opposite.
Um den Verformungsraum für einen Angreifer optisch zu verdecken wird in weiterer Ausgestaltung vorgeschlagen, dass das Schutzelement mit seitlichen Erhöhungen zur Abdeckung des Verformungsraums versehen ist. Die seitlichen Erhöhungen können die Sicherheitszelle nach Art eines seitlichen Übergriffs umgreifen und eine Sichtabdeckung des Verformungsraums bereitstellen. Ferner kann die Eigensteifigkeit des Schutzelements durch die Erhöhungen verbessert werden.In order to visually obscure the deformation space for an attacker, it is proposed in a further embodiment that the protection element is provided with lateral elevations for covering the deformation space. The side elevations may encompass the safety cell in the manner of a lateral overlap and provide a visual coverage of the deformation space. Furthermore, the inherent rigidity of the protective element can be improved by the increases.
Schließlich wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Schutzelement von einer Aluminiumplatte gebildet wird. Das Schutzelement kann aus einem Stück gefertigt werden, ohne das Schweißstellen die Festigkeit der Aluminiumplatte stören. Vorzugsweise sollte die Dicke des aus Aluminium bestehenden Schutzelements im Bereich größer 50 mm, vorzugsweise 75 mm und noch vorteilhafter größer 100 mm dimensioniert sein.Finally, it is proposed that the protective element is formed by an aluminum plate. The protective element can be made in one piece, without the welds disturbing the strength of the aluminum plate. Preferably, the thickness of the protective element made of aluminum should be in the range greater than 50 mm, preferably 75 mm and more preferably greater than 100 mm dimensioned.

Das Fahrzeug 1 weist einen modularen Aufbau bestehend aus einem Vorderwagen 2 und einem Hinterwagen 3 auf, die lösbar mit einer ballistisch geschützt ausgeführten Sicherheitszelle 4 verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Sicherheitszelle 4 missionsspezifisch auf einfache Weise gegen eine andere Sicherheitszelle 4 mit anderer Mannschaftsstärke, anderem Schutzniveau, anderen Rüstsätzen usw. zu ersetzen.The vehicle 1 has a modular structure consisting of a front end 2 and a rear end 3, which are detachably connected to a ballistically executed running safety cell 4. In this way, it is possible to replace the security cell 4 missionsspezifisch easily against another security cell 4 with different team strength, other protection level, other kits, etc.
Das Fahrzeug 1 kann mittels eines in dem Vorderwagen 2 oder dem Hinterwagen 3 angeordneten Motors angetrieben werden. Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, dass sowohl der Vorderwagen 2 als auch der Hinterwagen 3 jeweils mit einem eigenen Motor ausgestattet sind, was dem Fahrzeug 1 verbesserte Notlaufeigenschaften im Falle einer starken Beschädigung eines der beiden Wagen 2, 3 verleiht.The vehicle 1 can be driven by means of a motor arranged in the front car 2 or the rear car 3. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that both the front of the car 2 and the rear 3 are each equipped with its own engine, which gives the vehicle 1 improved runflat in the event of severe damage to one of the two cars 2, 3.
Unterhalb der Sicherheitszelle 4 ist ein sich von einer Fahrzeugseite zur gegenüberliegenden Fahrzeugseite erstreckendes Schutzelement 5 zu erkennen, welches die Sicherheitszelle 4 vor einem von unten her kommenden, durch beispielsweise eine Minendetonation hervorgerufenen Blast schützt.Underneath the safety cell 4, a
Einzelheiten der Funktionsweise und des Aufbaus des Schutzelements 5 werden nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Darstellung in
Das Schutzelement 5 erstreckt sich im Bereich unterhalb der Sicherheitszelle 4 von dem Vorderwagen 2 zu dem Hinterwagen 3, ohne in direktem Kontakt mit der Sicherheitszelle 4 zu stehen. Aufgrund dieser entkoppelten Anordnung des Schutzelements 5 und der Sicherheitszelle 4 wird ein auf das Schutzelement 5 einwirkender Blast nicht direkt von dem Schutzelement 5 in die Sicherheitszelle 4 eingeleitet. Die aus dem Blast resultierende Schockeinleitung erfolgt indirekt über den Vorderwagen 2 bzw. den Hinterwagen 3, weshalb die entsprechenden Druckstöße abgeschwächt an der Sicherheitszelle 4 angelangen, worauf nachfolgend noch näher einzugehen sein wird.The
Zur Verbindung des Schutzelements 5 mit dem Vorderwagen 2 und Hinterwagen 3 sind an dem Vorderwagen 2 und dem Hinterwagen 3 Anbindungen 6 vorgesehen, an welchen das Schutzelement 4 lösbar montiert wird. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Schutzelement 5 in seinen Eckbereichen Öffnungen 5. 2 auf, so dass dieses mittels Schraubbolzen an den am Vorderwagen 2 bzw. Hinterwagen 3 vorgesehenen Anbindungen 6 durch Verschrauben starr befestigt werden kann. Durch die starre Anbindung des Schutzelements 5 an dem Vorderwagen 2 sowie dem Hinterwagen 3 bildet das massiv ausgebildete Schutzelement 5 einen Teil der Tragstruktur des Fahrzeugs 1.To connect the
Das Schutzelement 5 ist von insgesamt U-förmiger Geometrie, wobei die Schenkel des U durch seitliche Erhöhungen 5.1 gebildet werden. Die Erhöhungen 5.1 sind im Bereich der Kanten des Schutzelements 5 angeordnet und enden unter Bildung eines Verformungsraums 7 knapp unterhalb und etwas seitlich der Einstiegstüren 4.2 der Sicherheitszelle 4, vgl. auch die Darstellung in
Das Schutzelement 5 wird von einer massiven Aluminiumplatte gebildet, die mit Ausnahme der seitlichen Erhöhungen 5.1 aus einem Stück gefertigt ist, so dass keine die Schutzwirkung beeinträchtigenden Schweißnähte oder ähnliche Schwachstellen vorgesehen sind. Die seitlichen Erhöhungen 5.1 sind durch Verschrauben mit dem ansonsten einstückig ausgeführten Schutzelement 5 verbunden.The
Die Anbindungen 6 zur Montage des Schutzelements 5 bestehen aus einem eine Knautschzone bildenden Winkel 6.1 sowie einer unterseitig des Winkels 6.1 angeordneten Flanschplatte 6.2, an welcher das Schutzelement 5 durch Verschrauben befestigt ist. Es sind jeweils zwei Anbindungen 6 an dem Vorderwagen 2 und zwei Anbindungen 6 an dem Hinterwagen 3 angeordnet. Die Anbindungen 6 sind jeweils fahrzeugaußen an den beiden Seiten des Vorder- bzw. Hinterwagens 2, 3 angeordnet, wobei sich die Winkel 6.2 nach fahrzeuginnen öffnen. Die Schenkel der Winkel 6.2 umgreifen im montierten Zustand die benachbarten Ecken der Sicherheitszelle 4. Die Ecken der Sicherheitszelle 4 liegen lose innerhalb der Winkel 6.2.The connections 6 for mounting the
Auch die Sicherheitszelle 4 ist starr sowohl mit dem Vorderwagen 2 als auch dem Hinterwagen 3 über entsprechende Montagestellen 4. 1 verbunden. Eine Verbindung mit dem Schutzelement 5 besteht hingegen nicht. Die Montagestellen 4. 1 sind an der Vorderseite sowie der Hinterseite der Sicherheitszelle 4 in deren Ecken angeordnet und nach Art von laschenartigen Auflagern ausgebildet, die auf im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Gegenflächen 8 des Vorderwagens 2 bzw. Hinterwagens 3 aufliegen und durch Verschrauben lösbar befestigt sind. Die Montageelemente 4. 1 befinden sich beim Ausführungsbeispiel in etwa auf Höhe einer horizontalen Mittelebene der Sicherheitszelle 4 oberhalb der Anbindungen 6.The security cell 4 is rigidly connected to both the front of the car 2 and the rear 3 via corresponding mounting points 4. 1. A connection with the
Die Sicherheitszelle 4 ist selbsttragend ausgebildet und bildet ebenso wie das Schutzelement 5 einen Teil der Tragstruktur des Fahrzeugs 1, wodurch sich eine hohe Steifigkeit des Fahrzeugs ergibt. Es ist nicht erforderlich, einen zusätzlichen Tragrahmen oder Ähnliches im Mittelbereich des Fahrzeugs 1 vorzusehen, was zum Einen ein vergleichsweise geringes Fahrzeuggewicht ermöglicht und zum Anderen dem modularen Grundaufbau des Fahrzeugs 1 zuträglich ist.The safety cell 4 is self-supporting and, like the
Nachfolgend soll auf die Funktionsweise des Schutzelements 5 und die einzelnen Vorgänge, die beim Überfahren einer Mine ablaufen, im Einzelnen eingegangen werden.Below is on the operation of the
Beim Überfahren einer Mine entstehen mit Detonation des entsprechenden Sprengstoffs Gasschwaden hoher kinetischer Energie, die von der Fahrzeugunterseite her kommend als Blast flächig auf das Schutzelement 5 einwirken. Aufgrund der erheblichen, stoßartig auftretenden Kräfte beginnt das Schutzelement sich in den zwischen dem Schutzelement 5 und der Sicherheitszelle 4 bestehenden Verformunungsraum 7 hinein zu verformen ohne an dem Boden der Sicherheitszelle 4 anzuschlagen. Gleichzeitig wird der Druckstoß als Schock über die Aufnahmen 6 in den Vorder- und Hinterwagen 2, 3 eingeleitet. Über die Flansche 6. 2 werden die Kräfte in den Bereich der nach Art von Knautschzonen ausgebildeten Winkel 6. 1 weitergeleitet. Bei hinreichend starker Kraft beginnen die Winkel 6. 1 sich in Folge der Schockeinleitung nach Art von Knautschzonen zu verformen, wodurch diese einen gewissen Teil der Detonationsenergie in Form von Verformungsenergie absorbieren.When driving over a mine arise with detonation of the corresponding explosive gas swaths high kinetic energy, which act from the vehicle underside coming as a blast surface on the
Am oberen Ende der Anbindungen 6 angekommen wird der Druckstoß schließlich über die Montagestellen 4. 1 in die Sicherheitszelle 4 eingeleitet.Arrived at the upper end of the connections 6, the pressure surge is finally introduced via the mounting points 4. 1 in the safety cell 4.
Da die Sicherheitszelle 4 und das Schutzelement 5 nicht direkt miteinander verbunden sind, werden die sich in Folge einer Blasteinwirkung ergebenden Druckstöße nur indirekt über den Vorderwagen 2 bzw. den Hinterwagen 3 in die Sicherheitszelle 4 eingeleitet. Es ergibt sich eine gewisse zeitlichen Verzögerung, die dazu führt, dass die bei einer Minendetonation üblicherweise während der ersten Millisekunden auftretenden Druckspitzen nicht in die Sicherheitszelle 4 eingeleitet werden. Hinzu kommt eine weitere Schwächung der Druckstöße durch Aufnahme von Verformungsenergie im Bereich der Anbindungen 6, so dass die sich in Folge einer Blasteinwirkung ergebenden Druckstöße stark geschwächt auf die Sicherheitszelle 4 einwirken und diese insoweit hinsichtlich des Personenschutzes konstruktiv einfach ausgeführt werden kann. So ist es etwa nicht erforderlich, die innen liegenden Komponenten der Sicherheitszelle 4 in einer hängenden Anordnung auszubilden.Since the security cell 4 and the
