Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gerät zur Vernichtung von Treibminen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for destroying mines according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät zur Vernichtung von Treibminen vorzuschlagen, das eine effektive Arbeitsweise aufweist, d. h. insbesondere schnell eine Treibmine detektiert und vernichtet. Dazu soll das Gerät einfach im Gebrauch sein.The invention has for its object to propose a device for the destruction of propellant mines, which has an effective mode of operation, d. H. in particular, quickly detects and destroys a propellant mine. The device should be easy to use.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem in accordance with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigt:

Ein Gerät, das als Geschoß 1 ausgebildet ist, schlägt in der Nähe einer Treibmine 2 im Wasser 3 ein. Sofort nach Wassereintritt wird das Geschoß 1 durch Drall- und Stabilisierungsklappen 4 entdrallt und abgebremst. Dadurch bremst es stark ab und hat bereits nach wenigen Metern eine sehr kleine vertikale Sinkgeschwindigkeit.A device, which is designed as a floor 1, strikes in the vicinity of a propellant mine 2 in the water 3. Immediately after water has entered, floor 1 is swirled and braked by swirl and stabilizing flaps 4. As a result, it brakes strongly and has a very low vertical descent rate after just a few meters.

Nachdem die kleine Sinkgeschwindigkeit sowie eine vertikale Orientierung aufgrund des tief liegenden Schwerpunktes 6 erreicht ist, wird ein heckseitiger Aufsatz 10 zusammen mit den Drall- und Stabilisierungsklappen 4 sowie eine Ogive 20 abgestoßen.After the low rate of descent and vertical orientation due to the low center of gravity 6 has been reached, a rear attachment 10 is repelled together with the swirl and stabilizing flaps 4 and an ogive 20.

Der Restkörper, der nachstehend als Kampfgerät 30 bezeichnet ist, schwebt im Wasser, wobei seine Dichte der Dichte des Wassers entspricht.The residual body, which is referred to below as combat device 30, hovers in the water, its density corresponding to the density of the water.

Aufgrund der Anordnung der einzelnen Komponenten im Kampfgerät 30, insbesondere aufgrund des, gegenüber einem Motor 21 leichteren Suchkopf 22 schwebt das Kampfgerät 30 in vertikaler Position im Wasser 3 und zwar in einer Tiefe von etwa 5 - 10 Metern.Due to the arrangement of the individual components in the combat device 30, in particular due to the seeker head 22, which is lighter than a motor 21, the combat device 30 floats in the vertical position in the water 3, specifically at a depth of about 5-10 meters.

Aufgrund des Schwebezustands des Kampfgerätes 30 wird für diese Phase, die als Such- bzw. Detektionsphase bezeichnet wird, kein Antrieb benötigt. Das Kampfgerät 30 treibt in der Strömung 5, ebenso wie die Treibmine 2.Due to the floating state of the combat device 30, no drive is required for this phase, which is referred to as the search or detection phase. The combat device 30 drives in the flow 5, as does the driving mine 2.

Der Suchkopf 22, der durch den heckseitigen Aufsatz 10 abgedeckt und geschützt war, ebenso wie der Motor 21 mit Antriebsschraube 19 durch die Ogive 20, kann jetzt arbeiten. Vorzugsweise arbeitet er auf der Basis eines Sonars und/oder eines optischen Sensors mit Weitwinkeloptik. Gegebenenfalls wird noch ein Magnetsensor verwendet.The seeker head 22, which was covered and protected by the rear attachment 10, as well as the motor 21 with drive screw 19 by the ogive 20, can now work. It preferably works on the basis of a sonar and / or an optical sensor with wide-angle optics. A magnetic sensor may also be used.

Sollte der Auffaßbereich 23 zu klein sein, kann er durch Schwenken des Suchkopfes 22 vergrößert werden. Der Auffaßbereich 23 erfaßt einen Winkel von 90° und ist um einen Winkel 24 von 10° zur Vertikalen 25 versetzt. Das Schwenken des Suchkopfes 22 erfolgt durch Drehen um die Vertikale 25. Die Überdeckung bzw. den Winkel 24 benötigt der Suchkopf 22, damit er die Treibmine 2 nicht verliert, wenn er direkt auf sie zuläuft, d. h. wenn die Treibmine 2 in der Verlängerung der Körperlängsachse 26 steht.If the detection area 23 is too small, it can be enlarged by pivoting the seeker head 22. The Auffaßbereich 23 detects an angle of 90 ° and is offset by an angle 24 of 10 ° to the vertical 25. The search head 22 is pivoted by rotating about the vertical 25. The overlap or the angle 24 is required by the search head 22 so that it does not lose the propellant mine 2 if it runs directly towards it, i.e. H. when the propellant mine 2 is in the extension of the longitudinal axis 26 of the body.

Ist die Treibmine 2 durch den Suchkopf 22 erfaßt und detektiert, so wird über eine Steuereinheit 43 der Motor 21 und eine Lenkeinrichtung 27 aktiviert. Eine Energieeinheit ist mit 28 bezeichnet.If the propellant mine 2 is detected and detected by the seeker head 22, the motor 21 and a steering device 27 are activated via a control unit 43. An energy unit is designated 28.

Nach Fig. 3 ist ein optischer, in Winkel- und Ringabschnittbereiche 39 unterteilter, optischer Sensor 40 ersichtlich. In einem Bereich 41 ist die Treibmine 2 optisch erfaßt. Damit erfolgt aufgrund einer rechnerischen Auswertung in einer Steuereinheit (nicht dargestellt) das Signal für den Start des Motors 21 und die Aktivierung der Lenkeinheit 27.3 shows an optical sensor 40 which is subdivided into angular and ring section regions 39. In an area 41, the propellant mine 2 is optically detected. The signal for the start of the engine 21 and the activation of the steering unit 27 thus takes place on the basis of a computational evaluation in a control unit (not shown).

Ein Gefechtskopf 15 mit Spreng- und Splitterwirkung wird initiiert, wenn das Kampfgerät 30 bei der Treibmine 2 ist. Die Initiierung erfolgt durch einen Zünder 16 mit den folgenden Kriterien, wie Annäherung, Aufschlag oder die Zündung erfolgt durch Fremdzündung, beispielsweise durch einen Funkimpuls.A warhead 15 with explosive and splintering action is initiated when the combat device 30 is at the driving mine 2. The initiation is carried out by an igniter 16 with the following criteria, such as approach, impact or ignition is by spark ignition, for example by a radio pulse.

Die Fremdzündung wird der Normalfall sein. Zweckmäßiger Weise ist hierzu das Kampfgerät 30 mit einem Schwimmkörper mit Antenne gekoppelt. Sollte der Funkbefehl lange auf sich warten lassen, kann sich das Kampfgerät 30 an die Treibmine 2 ankoppeln.Spark ignition will be the norm. For this purpose, combat device 30 is expediently coupled to a floating body with an antenna. If the radio command is a long time in coming, the combat device 30 can couple to the driving mine 2.

Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist die Erkenntnis, daß Treibminen 2 aus einem Standpunkt unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche sich ausgezeichnet gegen die übrige Wasseroberfläche abzeichnen. Damit ist die erforderliche Detektionssicherheit gegeben.Essential to the invention is the knowledge that propellant mines 2 are excellent against the rest of the water surface from a standpoint below the water surface. This ensures the required detection reliability.

Aufgrund des schwebend im Wasser 3 schwimmenden Kampfgerätes 30 werden für das Anlaufen des Kampfgerätes 30 bis zur Treibmine 2 nur geringe Energien benötigt, so daß das Kampfgerät diesbezüglich klein und kompakt ausgebildet sein kann.Due to the fighting device 30 floating in the water 3, only small energies are required for starting the fighting device 30 up to the propellant mine 2, so that the fighting device can be made small and compact in this regard.

Nach den Fig. 4 und 5 ist bei einem zu schweren Kampfgerät 30 vorgesehen, daß der fehlende Auftrieb im vorderen Bereich 31 durch einen teleskopierbaren Auftriebkörper 32 erzeugt wird. Beim Aufblasen, z. B. mit einer nicht dargestellten Druckgasflasche, des Auftriebkörpers 32 reißt eine am Gehäuse 33 vorgesehene Sollbruchstelle 34, wobei die beiden, mit Gehäuseabschnitten 35 verbundenen Teile 36 einen achsialen Hub ausführen. Ein Zylinder 37 dichtet die Teile 36 ab.According to FIGS. 4 and 5, if the combat device 30 is too heavy, it is provided that the lack of buoyancy in the front region 31 is generated by a telescopic buoyancy body 32. When inflating, e.g. B. with a pressurized gas bottle, not shown, of the buoyancy body 32 tears a predetermined breaking point 34 provided on the housing 33, the two parts 36 connected to housing sections 35 performing an axial stroke. A cylinder 37 seals the parts 36.

Anstelle des, durch eine Rohrwaffe verschießbaren Geschosses 1 kann das erfindungsgemäße Gerät sowohl von Hubschraubern als auch von Deck eines Schiffes abgeworfen werden.Instead of the projectile 1 which can be fired by a barrel weapon, the device according to the invention can be dropped both by helicopters and from the deck of a ship.

Die Zusammenfassung ist Teil der Beschreibung.The summary is part of the description.
