Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ammunition bunker on a main battle tank tower with the features from the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such an ammunition bunker is described for example in DE-PS 25 52 470.
  • the invention has for its object to design an ammunition bunker of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 so that even with simultaneous detonation of several floors within the ammunition bunker, the build-up of pressure within the ammunition bunker is so largely delayed and ultimately prevented that the crew is still not endangered .
  • the ammunition bunker should continue to maintain the required stability properties.
  • the ammunition bunker in contrast to the previous designs, is designed as an independent housing which is completely separated from the team room, the wall of the ammunition bunker facing the team room, which is opposite the fixed wall of the team room, according to wall thickness and used material is designed so that it is pressed in the manner of the known explosion formation upon detonation in the interior of the ammunition bunker with deformation on the solid wall, whereby part of the explosion energy is consumed and the resistance of the solid partition is increased.
  • the cover plate of the ammunition bunker is designed so that with sufficient basic stability during the detonation inside the ammunition bunker it is not only lifted off, but at the same time is broken down into the smallest possible and thus also faster flying parts.
  • the design of the ammunition bunker as an independent housing has the additional advantage that the ammunition bunker as a whole can be removed or pivoted away from the main battle tank tower by simply being connected to the main battle tank tower via a swivel joint. This leads to additional uses.
  • the loading hatch which is generally arranged between the crew compartment and the ammunition bunker, is released and this opens up the possibility of loading and unloading the battle tank tower with additional ammunition.
  • the ability to swing away opens up the possibility of using this loading hatch as an emergency exit for the crew.
  • a battle tank 1 is indicated schematically, which has a turret 2 pivotable about a vertical axis 3.
  • a heavy weapon 4 is inserted into the main battle tower 2 from the front.
  • the crew room 21 of the main battle tank tower 2 is surrounded by a particularly strong armor consisting of the part 8 protecting against frontal fire and the part 9 protecting against flank fire.
  • the ammunition bunker 5 is designed as an independent housing which is closed on all sides, with outer walls 27, 28 and 29, an inner wall 12 facing the team room 21, a base plate 31 and a ceiling plate 32.
  • the rear of the team room 21 is in the area of the ammunition bunker 5 by a solid partition wall 23 completed, in which an opening 25 is arranged, which can be closed with a sliding door 26.
  • the inner wall 12 consists of a material suitable for explosion molding, for example steel, a steel with the material designation ST52 having proven particularly suitable.
  • vertical grooves 30 are provided which are incorporated from the outside and which act as predetermined breaking points.
  • the vertical strips formed by the grooves 30 in the outer wall 29 are supported with their upper and lower ends against the base plate 31 and against the cover plate 32, so that when stressed the required ballistic strength is achieved from outside by bombardment.
  • a short distance before this armor are even thinner armor plates 33, not divided by grooves.
  • the walls 27, 28, 29 are connected to the base plate 31 and the cover plate 32 in a manner not shown by welds, which when loaded from the inside tear off by a pressure wave.
  • the ceiling plate 32 is designed in a special way so that when it is torn off it is not only raised, but broken down into individual parts.
  • the ceiling plate 32 consists of a lattice-like frame 10, in the lattice gaps of which plate elements 11 are arranged, in such a way that they are pressed outwards out of the frame under the pressure in the interior 22 of the ammunition bunker.
  • the more precise construction of the ceiling plate 32 can be seen in FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • FIG. 4 The area in which the two plate elements 11.1 and 11.2 adjoin the frame strut 10.1 is indicated in FIG. 4 by a dash-dot circle X. This area is shown enlarged in FIG. 5.
  • Each plate element 11.1 and 11.2 has on its side surfaces a section 12.1 and 12.2, respectively, which is designed as an inclined surface which, as seen in the direction of the interior 22 of the ammunition bunker, is recessed from the outside inwards.
  • These inclined surfaces 12.1 and 12.2 are present on each plate element 11 on all four circumferential sides and the plate elements sit with them 11.1 and 11.2 on appropriately designed inclined surfaces 13.1 and 13.2 on the side surfaces of the frame strut 10.1.
  • a sealing material 14, for example a silicone sealing compound, is introduced into the outer joints between the side surfaces of the plate elements 11.1 and 11.2 and the frame strut 10.1, by means of which the plate elements are held firmly in the frame. It has been shown that in the case of a rapid build-up of pressure in the interior 22 of the ammunition bunker in the case of the design of the ceiling plate 32 shown above, the division into smaller elements proceeds much more rapidly than when working with conventional predetermined breaking points at this point.
  • the ammunition bunker 5 which, as mentioned, has an independent, stable housing, is suspended from the main battle tank tower 2 via a swivel joint 6 and fastening tabs 7, so that it is directed outwards in an azimuthal direction can be pivoted out of the contour of the main battle tower 2.
  • a swiveled-out position of the ammunition bunker 5 is shown in FIG. 6.
  • This pivotability of the ammunition bunker 5 results from its structure as an independent housing and has additional advantages.
  • the opening 25 is accessible from the outside.
  • the crew compartment 21 can be loaded with ammunition directly from the outside, or ammunition can be unloaded from the crew compartment.
  • the opening 25 in the pivoted position of the ammunition bunker 5 can also be used as an emergency exit for the crew.
