Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mine clearing vehicle with a front attachment, which hydraulically or pneumatically operating cylinder-piston arrangements and possibly via frame legs pivotably connected to the vehicle with the vehicle can be raised and lowered operatively connected and with a forward and in the direction of travel downwardly at least partially open box with essentially transverse to it
  • Direction of travel arranged, preferably hydraulically driven milling drum, which turns against the direction of travel, conveys the mine in front of the milling drum and there causes explosion by pressurization.
  • Vehicles of the type in question are designed in the sense of a bulldozer Known from practice for some time and are usually used for tillage. Due to their particularly robust design, they can be used in particular for heavy work in forestry. They are used for movement or for transporting felled trees or clearing roadways.
  • Vehicles or bulldozers of the type in question are among others also for cultivation used by floors.
  • One in a front extension - before the actual one Tracked vehicle - arranged milling drum is used for milling or combing the upper layers of the earth, whereby plants, wood, stones, etc. through the milling drum be crushed or smashed.
  • the ground is gripped by the milling drum rolled into the upper layers of the earth and the shattered woods, stones and the like are mixed with the soil.
  • the claimed vehicle is a mine clearing vehicle, preferably with rifle and tank mines from a depth of up to 30 can be conveyed out and cleared cm below the floor surface.
  • a mine clearing vehicle is particularly about disposal of forgotten mines, for example in the area of old border installations on the so-called death strip the former GDR.
  • a mine clearing vehicle of the generic type was made by the applicant already developed itself. For this purpose, EP 0 618 423 A1 (see the preamble of claim 1) referred. This well known Mine clearing vehicle is ideally suited for clearing hidden ones Mines, however, mixes metal parts or metal fragments with the ground.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a mine clearing vehicle to design and develop the generic type in such a way that in quasi one work step with the clearing a separation of magnetic parts possible is.
  • the generic mine clearing vehicle is designed such that in Area in front of the milling drum, a magnet or a magnet arrangement for receiving magnetic parts is arranged.
  • the mine clearing vehicle - Immediately - a device for segregating or separating magnetic Parts can be assigned without the actual function of the mine clearing vehicle to affect.
  • a magnet or a magnet arrangement for receiving magnetic Parts can include.
  • This magnet or this magnet arrangement is in the area arranged in front of the milling drum so that the thrown against the direction of travel Earth wall with regard to magnetic parts located therein, in particular iron parts, detected and the iron parts by the magnet or by the magnet arrangement be pulled out.
  • the magnet or the magnet arrangement is to be positioned in such a way that the milling drum contains the iron parts Ideally throws soil against the magnet or the magnet arrangement, so that a secure adherence of the magnetic parts actually guarantees the magnet is.
  • the magnet or the magnet arrangement are not damaged, it is of particular advantage if the magnet or the magnet arrangement at least one directed downwards Has cover.
  • This cover could be designed as a magnetic plate be so that the effect of the magnet or the magnet arrangement through the plate through it. It would also be conceivable to use the magnet or the magnet arrangement completely encapsulate, the encapsulation being at least largely magnetic Material should exist. Here too, an effect of the magnet would be through the Capsule guaranteed.
  • the front attachment could be on its front as a protective shield or on the front Closing the box preferably hydraulically pivotable flaps exhibit. Accordingly, the magnet or the magnet arrangement could be under the flap may be arranged, this flap being part of the aforementioned collecting hood could be. Specifically, the flap could be the back of the Act the catch hood. The flap or collecting hood could then accordingly as a protective shield, inclined forward, preferably protruding upwards be, both an angular adjustment and a displacement of the Collection hood to the front or back into the box may be possible could.
  • the flap or collecting hood With regard to the mobility of the flap or collecting hood, it would be very special Advantage if the flap or collecting hood is inside the box two opposite side walls would be pivoted and the box at least by a downward pivoting movement would be largely closable.
  • the box could be used to detonate mines close and could separate magnetic parts when the box is open, i.e. take place with the catch hood swung out.
  • the flap or Collecting hood on the upper edge of the box and the Box could be closed by a downward pivoting movement.
  • the box for detonating mines could be closed and could be used for Separation of magnetic parts can be opened, then the collecting hood is to be tilted forward.
  • the magnet With regard to a specific configuration of the magnet or the magnet arrangement it is advantageous to design the magnet as an electromagnet. That would be It is advantageous if the magnet extends across the entire width of the milling drum extends and consists of at least two magnet groups, namely two electrical Coils includes. These coils would preferably have a vehicle assigned generator can be powered and operated from the cab. By variable loading of the coils, the effect or the magnetic fields can be and thus change the attraction of the magnets, so that here too optimal adaptation to the circumstances can take place.
  • the box should be dimensioned in such a way that it has at least the width of the bulldozer. That should be extend the milling drum across the full width of the box so that the area is plowed safely in front of the tracked vehicle and which is about 30 cm below the Rifle mines and tank mines lying on the ground surface are definitely recorded become.
  • the speed of rotation of the milling drum should be infinitely adjustable. So far a very special adjustment can be made to the floor to be milled.
  • the direction of rotation of the Milling drum adjustable or reversible. This would have the very special advantage that when the milling drum rotates in the direction of travel, for example, not to an explosion mines or other non-destructible items that can be brought out of the box or the area of the milling drum. You could do that Assign a type of collecting container to the box. Due to being hidden at different depths Mines, it is a further advantage if the milling depth through the box and / or cylinder-piston arrangements that push or lift the milling drum is adjustable. This allows working depths when the milling drum is pressurized of about one meter, so that mines lying down to one meter are safe are accessible.
  • the front attachment should preferably serve as a protective shield on its front have hydraulic flap.
  • the flap could be in the working position be aligned such that they face the driver of the mine clearing vehicle acts in the sense of a protective shield.
  • the flap could also be used for serve front closing of the box, so that this during the mine search is at least closed to the front, so that inside or below the Explosions occurring in the box can be contained by the box.
  • the flap in the case of a design of the flap as a protective shield, it could be inclined be inclined at the front and protruding upwards.
  • closed or at least partially closed box promotes the milling drum that engages in the ground and rotates against the direction of travel the soil across the mine against which is in the closed state located flap. Since the milling drum is preferred on the peripheral surface has cutting and / or breaking tools evenly spaced from one another, these can capture the mine from below and in the conveyed in front of the milling drum Earth due to the pressure exerted on the mine by the milling drum detonate. If the mine extracted from the ground does not succeed To destroy the explosion, the direction of rotation of the milling drum can be reversed, so that the unexploded mine is conveyed outside the box.
  • the milling drum could be pivoted at least slightly in a horizontal plane be so that the soil can be extracted laterally from the box.
  • the swivel direction and the swivel angle are adjustable.
  • the box and possibly the flap is or are made of steel plates. These components are to be designed in such a way that they can withstand explosions such as those found on tank mines weighing up to 7.5 kg occur.
