D'ENGINS EXPLOSIFSEXPLOSIVE DEVICES
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de récupération ou de destruction sur place d'engins explosifs se trouvant dans le sol .The present invention relates to a device for recovering or destroying explosive devices in the ground.
Les pays soumis à des conflits armés sont confrontés, une fois ces conflits terminés, au déminage de leur territoire et cette opération particulièrement dangereuse consiste à repérer les emplacements des mines, obus et autres engins explosifs, et à neutraliser ces engins, soit en les faisant exploser sur place, soit en les désamorçant. La présente invention a pour but de fournir un dispositif permettant, une fois un engin explosif repéré dans le sol, de le faire exploser sur place ou de le transporter en un autre endroit en toute sécurité, par une manoeuvre ne mettant nullement en danger la vie des personnes chargées des opérations de déminage.Countries subject to armed conflict are confronted, once these conflicts are over, with the demining of their territory and this particularly dangerous operation consists in identifying the locations of mines, shells and other explosive devices, and in neutralizing these devices, either by making them explode on the spot, either by defusing them. The present invention aims to provide a device allowing, once an explosive device spotted in the ground, to detonate it on the spot or to transport it to another place safely, by a maneuver in no way endangering life people in charge of demining operations.
A cet effet, ce dispositif de récupération ou de destruction sur place d'engins explosifs se trouvant dans le sol est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte une hotte blindée présentant, à sa partie supérieure, un orifice relié à un dispositif d'aspiration afin de pouvoir créer, à l'intérieur de la hotte, une dépression et, à sa partie inférieure, un électro-aimant pour attirer vers le haut, vers l'intérieur de la hotte blindée, un engin explosif en matériau ferro/magnétique On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :To this end, this device for the on-site recovery or destruction of explosive devices located in the ground is remarkable in that it comprises an armored hood having, at its upper part, an orifice connected to a suction device so to be able to create, inside the hood, a depression and, at its lower part, an electromagnet to attract upwards, towards the inside of the armored hood, an explosive device made of ferro / magnetic material We will describe below, by way of nonlimiting examples, various embodiments of the present invention with reference to the appended drawings in which:

transport d'engins explosifs lourds.transport of heavy explosive devices.
Le dispositif qui est représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 comporte une hotte blindée 1 en forme de tronc de pyramide ou de cône, évasée vers le bas, c'est-à-dire comprenant une petite base supérieure et une grande base inférieure .The device which is represented in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises an armored hood 1 in the form of a trunk of a pyramid or a cone, flared downwards, that is to say comprising a small upper base and a large lower base.
Dans la forme d'exécution non limitative représentée sur les figures 1 à 3, la hotte blindée 1 a la forme d'un tronc de pyramide irrégulière ayant des bases rectangulaires. Toutefois, comme il a été dit précédemment, ces bases pourraient avoir une autre forme polygonale ou encore une forme courbe, notamment circulaire. La paroi latérale de la hotte 1 est constituée de quatre plaques de tôle épaisse 2,3,4,5 de formes trapézoïdales dont les côtés supérieurs sont solidaires d'une plaque de tôle épaisse horizontale 6 constituant la petite base supérieure du tronc de pyramide. Dans la partie centrale de la petite base supérieure 6 est prévu un orifice d'aspiration 7 qui peut être relié, par un tuyau flexible, à une source d'aspiration. Cette source d'aspiration qui peut être un ventilateur aspirant, est mue par n'importe quelle source de mouvement, telle que le moteur d'un engin de transport, à chenilles ou sur pneus. La hotte blindée 1 est suspendue, par l'intermédiaire de câbles non représentés, à un bras support de 1 ' engin de transport de manière à pouvoir être placée au-dessus d'un engin explosif se trouvant sur ou dans le sol, comme il est représenté par une mine 8 sur la figure 3. Ces câbles sont accrochés à des points d'ancrage prévus sur une ou plusieurs des plaques latérales 2-5 de la hotte blindée 1, tels que les points d'ancrage 9 soudés à la plaque 2 de la hotte.In the nonlimiting embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the armored hood 1 has the shape of an irregular pyramid trunk having rectangular bases. However, as has been said previously, these bases could have another polygonal shape or a curved shape, in particular circular. The side wall of the hood 1 is made up of four thick sheet metal plates 2,3,4,5 of trapezoidal shapes, the upper sides of which are secured to a thick horizontal sheet metal plate 6 constituting the small upper base of the pyramid trunk. In the central part of the small upper base 6 is provided a suction opening 7 which can be connected, by a flexible hose, to a suction source. This suction source, which can be a suction fan, is driven by any source of movement, such as the engine of a transport vehicle, tracked or on tires. The armored hood 1 is suspended, by means of cables not shown, on a support arm of the transport unit so that it can be placed above an explosive device lying on or in the ground, as it is represented by a lead 8 in FIG. 3. These cables are hooked to anchor points provided on one or more of the side plates 2-5 of the armored hood 1, such as the anchor points 9 welded to the plate 2 of the hood.
Les plaques latérales inclinées 2-5 sont percées de trous dans lesquels sont disposés des clapets 11. Ces clapets sont disposés de manière à fermer normalement les trous dans lesquels ils sont logés et à s'ouvrir seulement lors d'une surpression à l'intérieur de la hotte blindée 1, comme il sera précisé plus loin.The inclined side plates 2-5 are pierced with holes in which valves 11 are arranged. These valves are arranged so as to normally close the holes in which they are housed and to open only when there is an overpressure inside. of the shielded hood 1, as will be explained below.
La hotte blindée 1 comporte également, à sa partie - 3 -The armored hood 1 also comprises, in its part - 3 -
inférieure, un électro-aimant 12, situé à l'intérieur de la hotte 1, comme il est représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 ou bien pouvant être également situé à l'extérieur. Cet électro-aimant 12 s'étend le long de la grande base de la hotte blindée 1 et il est destiné à produire un champ magnétique dont les lignes de force s'étendent verticalement vers le haut à l'intérieur de la hotte 1. Pour confiner le champ magnétique à l'intérieur de la hotte, les plaques constituant les faces latérales 2-5 sont avantageusement revêtues d'une couche d'un matériau amagnétique 13 tel que le caoutchouc.lower, an electromagnet 12, located inside the hood 1, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 or can also be located outside. This electromagnet 12 extends along the large base of the shielded hood 1 and it is intended to produce a magnetic field whose lines of force extend vertically upwards inside the hood 1. For confine the magnetic field inside the hood, the plates constituting the side faces 2-5 are advantageously coated with a layer of a non-magnetic material 13 such as rubber.
En-dessous de 1 ' électro-aimant 12, la hotte 1 comporte une grille horizontale blindée 14, de forte épaisseur, elle-même prolongée vers le bas, par une jupe périphérique de protection 15 en matériau souple, par exemple en caoutchouc, avec laquelle elle forme un ensemble interchangeable .Below the electromagnet 12, the hood 1 comprises a shielded horizontal grid 14, of great thickness, itself extended downwards, by a peripheral protective skirt 15 made of flexible material, for example rubber, with which it forms an interchangeable assembly.
La hotte blindée 1 est également avantageusement pourvue de caméras 16 qui sont représentées uniquement sur la figure 2. Ces caméras 16 sont portées par des mécanismes mobiles commandés par des vérins, de manière à pouvoir être orientées vers le sol, dans des directions appropriées, pour assurer une détection et une identification à distance des engins trouvés sur le sol, et le guidage de la hotte blindée 1 pour l'amener au-dessus d'un engin repéré.The shielded hood 1 is also advantageously provided with cameras 16 which are shown only in FIG. 2. These cameras 16 are carried by mobile mechanisms controlled by jacks, so as to be able to be oriented towards the ground, in appropriate directions, to ensure remote detection and identification of devices found on the ground, and guidance of the armored hood 1 to bring it over a spotted device.
La figure 3 illustre l'utilisation du dispositif suivant l'invention, pour la destruction sur place d'un engin explosif 8 telle qu'une mine antipersonnel. Pour cette destruction, la hotte blindée 1 est amenée par son engin de transport, au-dessus de la mine 8, cette opération étant surveillée à distance en utilisant les caméras 16. La source de dépression (ventilateur aspirant par exemple) est mise en marche, et on provoque l'explosion sur place de la mine 8, par un choc quelconque. L'explosion de la mine 8 provoque une onde de choc matérialisée par les flèches en traits mixtes et s 'étendant, en passant à travers les ouvertures de la grille blindée 14, vers le haut de la hotte. La surpression à l'intérieur de la hotte 1 qui en - 4 -FIG. 3 illustrates the use of the device according to the invention, for the on-site destruction of an explosive device 8 such as an anti-personnel mine. For this destruction, the armored hood 1 is brought by its transport vehicle, above the mine 8, this operation being monitored remotely using the cameras 16. The source of vacuum (suction fan for example) is turned on , and the mine 8 is exploded on site by any impact. The explosion of mine 8 causes a shock wave materialized by the arrows in phantom and extending, passing through the openings of the armored grid 14, towards the top of the hood. The overpressure inside the hood 1 which - 4 -
résulte provoque à son tour l'ouverture des clapets 11 si bien que l'air et les gaz s'échappent à l'extérieur de la hotte. Après l'explosion, les clapets 11 reviennent en position de fermeture initiale, sous l'effet de la dépression créée par l'aspiration à l'intérieur de la hotte. Par conséquent, la destruction sur place de la mine 8 s'effectue sans aucun risque pour le personnel environnant .result in turn causes the valves 11 to open, so that air and gases escape outside the hood. After the explosion, the valves 11 return to the initial closed position, under the effect of the vacuum created by the suction inside the hood. Consequently, the mine 8 is destroyed on site without any risk for the surrounding personnel.
Dans le cas d'un engin explosif lourd, tel qu'un obus, on peut descendre la hotte blindée jusqu'au sol et mettre en marche la source de dépression tout en excitant 1 'électro-aimant 12. De ce fait, l'engin explosif 8 peut être attiré vers le haut, à la fois sous l'effet de la dépression régnant à l'intérieur de la hotte 1 et de la l'attraction magnétique produite par 1 ' électro-aimant 12. Dans cette dernière application, la hotte 1 comporte de préférence, comme il est illustré schématiquement sur la figure 4, un matelas ou tablier en mousse poreuse 17 en dessous de la grille blindée 14, à la place de la jupe périphérique 15, pour éviter une explosion d'un obus transporté .In the case of a heavy explosive device, such as a shell, the armored hood can be lowered to the ground and the source of vacuum started while energizing the electromagnet 12. Therefore, the Explosive device 8 can be attracted upwards, both under the effect of the depression prevailing inside the hood 1 and of the magnetic attraction produced by the electromagnet 12. In this last application, the hood 1 preferably comprises, as illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 4, a porous foam mattress or apron 17 below the armored grid 14, in place of the peripheral skirt 15, to avoid an explosion of a shell transported .
Selon une dernière caractéristique de l'invention, non représentée sur les dessins, on prévoit accessoirement d'équiper la hotte d'un détecteur d'impact muni d'un compteur plombé permettant la comptabilisation des engins détruits ou extraits. According to a last characteristic of the invention, not shown in the drawings, provision is also made to equip the hood with an impact detector provided with a sealed counter allowing the accounting of destroyed or extracted vehicles.
