Abstract
The invention relates to a protective device for armored vehicles, particularly against hollow-charge projectiles, comprising at least one protective module (4.1-4.2) that is mounted in front of the exterior of a wall (2) to be protected. The protective module (4.1-4.2) is moved out of an inoperative position, in which it is situated in a predetermined position, and into an active position, in which at least partial areas of the protective module have a, compared to the inoperative position, increased distance from the wall (2) to be protected. The protective module can be constructed from a number of components (4.1, 4.2), which can be displaced relative to one another and which, as a result of a displacing motion and/or pivotal motion, can be displaced out of the inoperative position and into the active position, in which they are interlocked.
Description
PROTECTIVE DEVICE FOR ARMORED VEHICLES, PARTICULARLY
FOR PROTECTING AGAINST HOLLOW-CHARGE PROJECTILES
The invention relates to a protective device for armored vehicles, in particular against hollow-charge projectiles, with at least one protective module that is arranged in front of an exterior side of a wall to be protected.
Such protective modules are known. They can be formed as passive or as reactive plating and can be effective as protection against hollow charge (HL) projectiles or impact (KE) projectiles depending on the design. Several of the types of designs of these protective modules are explained, for exa~"~e, ~ EP 0 922 924 B1 and EP 0 379 080 A2, as well as in DE 41 14 809 C2 and DE 195 09 899 C2.
In particular with protective modules for protection against HL-projectiles, it is known that the protective effect is greater the greater the distance between the protective module and the wall to be protected, since the deflection path of the disrupted penetrator is of greater significance for efficiency based on the continuing lateral movement after contact against the protective module. If, however, the protective modules are disposed at the greatest possible distance from the wall to be protected, the contour of the vehicle to be protected 1 of 14 Lit Trnsl of PCTlDE2004/000373 Bled Feb. 28, 2005 / Michael Pfennig et al l Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co.
increases overall, so that the prescribed loading masses no longer can be adhered to.
The invention is based on the object of constructing a protective device of the type described above and in the preamble to claim 1 in such a manner that for defense of the threat, the greatest possible distance of the protective module from the wall to be protected is achievable; on the other hand, however, the contour of the vehicle and in particular the prescribed loading masses are not increased.
The solution of this object takes place according to the present invention with the features of the characterizing parts of claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims. The wording of the patent claims is made by IS reference to the content of the following description.
The basic idea of the invention is to form the protective module to be moveable in such a manner that it can be moved from an inoperative position, in which it is positioned as closely as possible to the wall to be protected, into an active position, in which it has a substantially greater distance at least partially from the wall to be protected than in the inoperative position.

The invention is based on the object of constructing a protective device of the type described above and in the preamble to claim 1 in such a manner that for defense of the threat, the greatest possible distance of the protective module from the wall to be protected is achievable; on the other hand, however, the contour of the vehicle and in particular the prescribed loading masses are not increased.
The solution of this object takes place according to the present invention with the features of the characterizing parts of claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims. The wording of the patent claims is made by IS reference to the content of the following description.
The basic idea of the invention is to form the protective module to be moveable in such a manner that it can be moved from an inoperative position, in which it is positioned as closely as possible to the wall to be protected, into an active position, in which it has a substantially greater distance at least partially from the wall to be protected than in the inoperative position.
The movement of the protective module can take place in different ways depending on its structure and arrangement. As explained subsequently with reference to the embodiments, here linear movements, in particular linear motions that take place orthogonally to the wall to be protected, can be used as well as pivoting motions. The motions can be produced by means of simple mechanical drive devices, that is, manual as well as electrical, electromechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic drive devices. It is also possible to produce the motion of the protective module from the inoperative position into the active position with pyrotechnical means.
The protective modules can be constructed in a known manner in a sandwich-like manner from multiple, layered plates. However, they also can be constructed as a buckling sheet louver with a plurality of inclined layers, for example.
In order to achieve effective protection against HL-projectiles as well as against KE-projectiles, it was noted to be advantageous when a second protective module is fixedly disposed between the moveable first protective module and the wall to be protected, whereby the structure can be such that the first protective module serves in a first line for protection against HL-projectiles and the second protective module serves in a first line for protection against KE-projectiles. It is further possible to construct the protective module as a passive plating as well as an active plating.
Next, embodiments of the protective devices according to the present invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying figures.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a partial section through an armored vehicle with a first embodiment of a protective device with a protective module disposed in the inoperative position;
Fig. 2 shows the protective device according to Fig. 1 with the moveable protective module in the active position;
Fig. 3 shows a variation of the protective device of Figs. 1 and 2 in an illustration analogous to Fig. 2, in which the protective module is moved into a second active position;
Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a protective device with a protective module disposed in the inoperative position in an illustration analogous to Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 shows the protective device of Fig. 4 with the moveable protective module in the active position.
In Figs. 1 and 2, a first embodiment of a protective device for an armored vehicle is shown, whereby only the parts that are essential for illustrating the protective device are shown, namely a part of the vehicle shell or vehicle body with a roof plate 1 and the side wall 2 to be protected. On the outer surface of the side wall 2, first a KE-protective module 6 is fixedly disposed, which can be structured in a known manner and is not explained in detail below. An Hl_-protective module is arranged outside of this KE-protective module. This HL_-protective module is constructed of two plate elements 4.1 and 4.2, which in a known manner, for example, can comprise two plates that are separated from one another by air space. The plate element 4.1 is outwardly pivotable around a pivot axis 5.1 arranged parallel to the side wall 2 in the area of the roof plate 1. The edge 4.11 of the plate element 4.1 facing the pivot axis 5.1 is attached to a corresponding pivot lever 5.11. The plate element 4.2 is outwardly pivotable around a pivot axis 5.2 running parallel to the side wall 2 and parallel to the pivot axis 5.1. The pivot axis 5.2 is disposed beneath the pivot axis 5.1 on the side wall 2. The edge 4.21 faxing this pivot axis 5.2 is attached to a corresponding pivot lever 5.21.
The protective modules can be constructed in a known manner in a sandwich-like manner from multiple, layered plates. However, they also can be constructed as a buckling sheet louver with a plurality of inclined layers, for example.

It is further possible to construct the protective module as a passive plating as well as an active plating.
Next, embodiments of the protective devices according to the present invention will be described in greater detail with reference to the accompanying figures.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a partial section through an armored vehicle with a first embodiment of a protective device with a protective module disposed in the inoperative position;
Fig. 2 shows the protective device according to Fig. 1 with the moveable protective module in the active position;
Fig. 3 shows a variation of the protective device of Figs. 1 and 2 in an illustration analogous to Fig. 2, in which the protective module is moved into a second active position;
Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a protective device with a protective module disposed in the inoperative position in an illustration analogous to Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 shows the protective device of Fig. 4 with the moveable protective module in the active position.
In Figs. 1 and 2, a first embodiment of a protective device for an armored vehicle is shown, whereby only the parts that are essential for illustrating the protective device are shown, namely a part of the vehicle shell or vehicle body with a roof plate 1 and the side wall 2 to be protected. On the outer surface of the side wall 2, first a KE-protective module 6 is fixedly disposed, which can be structured in a known manner and is not explained in detail below. An Hl_-protective module is arranged outside of this KE-protective module. This HL_-protective module is constructed of two plate elements 4.1 and 4.2, which in a known manner, for example, can comprise two plates that are separated from one another by air space. The plate element 4.1 is outwardly pivotable around a pivot axis 5.1 arranged parallel to the side wall 2 in the area of the roof plate 1. The edge 4.11 of the plate element 4.1 facing the pivot axis 5.1 is attached to a corresponding pivot lever 5.11. The plate element 4.2 is outwardly pivotable around a pivot axis 5.2 running parallel to the side wall 2 and parallel to the pivot axis 5.1. The pivot axis 5.2 is disposed beneath the pivot axis 5.1 on the side wall 2. The edge 4.21 faxing this pivot axis 5.2 is attached to a corresponding pivot lever 5.21.
In the position shown in Fig. 1, both plate elements 4.1 and 4.2 are disposed in the inoperative position parallel to one another and parallel to the side wall 2. In this inoperative position, in which they lie directly on top of one another in the shown embodiment, they have the least possible distance to the side wall 2 and lie within a spatially defined contour 3 of the vehicle.
The plate elements 4.1 and 4.2 are pivotable outwardly into an active position from the inoperative position shown in Fig. 1 in opposite pivot motions; the active position is shown in Fig. 2. In this active position, the edges 4.12 or 4.22 of the plate elements facing away from the pivot axes 5.1 and 5.2 directly adjoin one another. These edges are constructed such that they interlock in one another upon reaching the active position in the manner shown in Fig. 2, and therewith have a roof-shaped form facing outwardly, comprised of the two plate elements 4.1 and 4.2. In this position, the protective module projects outwardly over the contour 3, and as a result of the inclined position of both plate elements 4.1 and 4.2, an optimal protection against incoming HL-projectiles is achieved.
With this structure of the protective device, it is therefore possible to load the vehicle into a transport aircraft, for example, in the inoperative position of the protective module, in which the prescribed loading mass is maintained. In use of the vehicle or also first in case of a threat, the protective module is moved from the inoperative position into the active position and can be moved back again into the inoperative position after termination of the threat or for loading.
Fig. 3 shows a variation of the protective device according to Figs. 1 and 2, in which a still greater distance of the protective module from the side wall of the vehicle to be protective is achievable. In Fig. 3, components which correspond to the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 are provided with the same reference numerals and an apostrophe.
In the inoperative position (not shown) of the protective module, both plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' lie on top of one another and parallel to the side wall 2' in front of the outer side of the KE-protective module 6' within the vehicle contour 3', analogously to the situation of Fig. 1.
Also, the plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' are pivotable about pivot axes 5.1' or 5.2' that run parallel to one another and to the side wall 2', and the outward pivoting motion takes place by means of a drive device (not shown). In this manner, analogously to the embodiment of Fig. 1, both plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' first are pivotable from the inoperative position into a first active position (likewise not shown), in which they again adopt a roof-shaped position relative to one another, in which both outer edges are interlocked in one another. In this first active position, already a greater distance from the side wall 2' is achieved.
According to Fig. 3, the protective module now can be moved into a second active position. In this connection, the pivot axis 5.1' is disposed on the outer end of the piston rod 7.1 of a piston cylinder drive 7, and the pivot axis 5.2' is disposed on a guided holding rod 8.
By means of the piston cylinder drive 7, which is disposed above the roof plate 1', the protective module comprised of the plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' can be displaced outwardly in a displacing motion, which runs essentially orthogonally to the side wall 2', and therewith the distance of the protective module to the side wall 2' is increased, providing a still better protection against incoming HL-projectiles.
Figs. 4 and 5 show another embodiment of a protective device for an armored vehicle, of which only the roof plate 11 and the side wall 12 to be protected are shown, analogously to Fig. 1. Again, a KE-protective module 16 is fixedly mounted in front of the side wall 12, and outside of the KE-protective module, the moveable HL-protective module 14 is disposed, which in this case is constructed as an individual, fixedly assembled component in the form of a buckling sheet louver with a plurality of sheets 19 running at an angle to the side wall 12. The sheets 19 are arranged with an intermediate air space. In the inoperative position shown in Fig. 4, the protective module 14 is disposed substantially within the vehicle contour 13. The protective module 14 is moveable from this inoperative position, in a direction that runs essentially orthogonally to the side wall 12, into an active position, which is shown in Fig. 5. In this active position, it lies with an essentially greater distance to the side wall 12 outside of the vehicle contour 13. To achieve the motion, the protective module 14 is connected on the upper side shown in Fig. 4 via a swivel joint 15.1 with the piston rod 17.1 of a piston cylinder drive 17, which is disposed above the roof plate 11. On the lower side shown in Fig. 4, the protective module 14 is guided via a roller 15.2 on a linear guide 18. In this manner, upon deployment of the piston rod 17.1, the protective module 14 moves from the inoperative position of Fig. 4 into the active position of Fig. 5 and if necessary, back into the inoperative position.
In the active position of Fig. 5, a substantially improved protection against incoming HL-projectiles is achieved as a result of the greater distance from the side wall 12. In the inoperative position, in contrast, the vehicle can be loaded into a transport aircraft, for example, as a result of the reduced vehicle contour.
The plate elements 4.1 and 4.2 are pivotable outwardly into an active position from the inoperative position shown in Fig. 1 in opposite pivot motions; the active position is shown in Fig. 2. In this active position, the edges 4.12 or 4.22 of the plate elements facing away from the pivot axes 5.1 and 5.2 directly adjoin one another. These edges are constructed such that they interlock in one another upon reaching the active position in the manner shown in Fig. 2, and therewith have a roof-shaped form facing outwardly, comprised of the two plate elements 4.1 and 4.2. In this position, the protective module projects outwardly over the contour 3, and as a result of the inclined position of both plate elements 4.1 and 4.2, an optimal protection against incoming HL-projectiles is achieved.
With this structure of the protective device, it is therefore possible to load the vehicle into a transport aircraft, for example, in the inoperative position of the protective module, in which the prescribed loading mass is maintained. In use of the vehicle or also first in case of a threat, the protective module is moved from the inoperative position into the active position and can be moved back again into the inoperative position after termination of the threat or for loading.
Fig. 3 shows a variation of the protective device according to Figs. 1 and 2, in which a still greater distance of the protective module from the side wall of the vehicle to be protective is achievable. In Fig. 3, components which correspond to the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 are provided with the same reference numerals and an apostrophe.
In the inoperative position (not shown) of the protective module, both plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' lie on top of one another and parallel to the side wall 2' in front of the outer side of the KE-protective module 6' within the vehicle contour 3', analogously to the situation of Fig. 1.
Also, the plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' are pivotable about pivot axes 5.1' or 5.2' that run parallel to one another and to the side wall 2', and the outward pivoting motion takes place by means of a drive device (not shown). In this manner, analogously to the embodiment of Fig. 1, both plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' first are pivotable from the inoperative position into a first active position (likewise not shown), in which they again adopt a roof-shaped position relative to one another, in which both outer edges are interlocked in one another. In this first active position, already a greater distance from the side wall 2' is achieved.
According to Fig. 3, the protective module now can be moved into a second active position. In this connection, the pivot axis 5.1' is disposed on the outer end of the piston rod 7.1 of a piston cylinder drive 7, and the pivot axis 5.2' is disposed on a guided holding rod 8.
By means of the piston cylinder drive 7, which is disposed above the roof plate 1', the protective module comprised of the plate elements 4.1' and 4.2' can be displaced outwardly in a displacing motion, which runs essentially orthogonally to the side wall 2', and therewith the distance of the protective module to the side wall 2' is increased, providing a still better protection against incoming HL-projectiles.
Figs. 4 and 5 show another embodiment of a protective device for an armored vehicle, of which only the roof plate 11 and the side wall 12 to be protected are shown, analogously to Fig. 1. Again, a KE-protective module 16 is fixedly mounted in front of the side wall 12, and outside of the KE-protective module, the moveable HL-protective module 14 is disposed, which in this case is constructed as an individual, fixedly assembled component in the form of a buckling sheet louver with a plurality of sheets 19 running at an angle to the side wall 12. The sheets 19 are arranged with an intermediate air space. In the inoperative position shown in Fig. 4, the protective module 14 is disposed substantially within the vehicle contour 13. The protective module 14 is moveable from this inoperative position, in a direction that runs essentially orthogonally to the side wall 12, into an active position, which is shown in Fig. 5. In this active position, it lies with an essentially greater distance to the side wall 12 outside of the vehicle contour 13. To achieve the motion, the protective module 14 is connected on the upper side shown in Fig. 4 via a swivel joint 15.1 with the piston rod 17.1 of a piston cylinder drive 17, which is disposed above the roof plate 11. On the lower side shown in Fig. 4, the protective module 14 is guided via a roller 15.2 on a linear guide 18. In this manner, upon deployment of the piston rod 17.1, the protective module 14 moves from the inoperative position of Fig. 4 into the active position of Fig. 5 and if necessary, back into the inoperative position.
In the active position of Fig. 5, a substantially improved protection against incoming HL-projectiles is achieved as a result of the greater distance from the side wall 12. In the inoperative position, in contrast, the vehicle can be loaded into a transport aircraft, for example, as a result of the reduced vehicle contour.
