Abstract

The armored vehicle has a reinforced floor (5) to protect it against mines. Reinforcing tubes (28) are fitted around the struts (3) and attached to the insides of the wheel arches (13, 14). Alternatively the tubes are attached to the floor.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug, dessen mehrere Insassen aufnehmender Innenraum einen gegen Mineneinwirkung verstärkten Bodenbereich, Seitenwände und ein Dach aufweist, die fest miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Seitenwände eine Radräume bildende Ausnehmung aufweisen.The invention relates to an armored vehicle, the interior of which accommodates a plurality of occupants interior having a reinforced against mine action bottom area, side walls and a roof which are fixedly connected to each other, wherein the side walls have a Radräume forming recess.

Durch die DE-A-19740103 oder die DE-A-19605230 ist es bekannt, zum Schutz gegen Mineneinwirkung unter einem Fahrzeugboden einen z.B. durch Rippen verstärkten, sandwichartigen Schutzschild zu befestigen. Eine Beschränkung des Minenschutzes auf eine Verstärkung des Fahrzeugbodens gewährleistet jedoch keinen ausreichenden Minenschutz, da den auf den Schutzschild einwirkenden, durch eine Minenauslösung verursachten hohen Beschleunigungskräften die Trägheitskräfte der sich vom Bodenbereich nach oben anschliessenden und auch das Fahrzeugdach und dessen Aufbau umfassenden Fahrzeugmasse entgegenwirken, mit der Folge, dass der Fahrzeuginnenraum zusammengestaucht wird und die Fahrzeuginsassen folglich verletzt werden.It is known from DE-A-19740103 or DE-A-19605230, for protection against mine action under a vehicle floor, e.g. Reinforced by ribs to attach sandwich-like shield. Limiting the mine protection to a reinforcement of the vehicle floor, however, does not ensure adequate mine protection, since the forces acting on the shield, caused by a mine triggering high acceleration forces counteract the inertial forces of the floor area upwardly adjoining and also the vehicle roof and its structure comprehensive vehicle mass with the Result that the vehicle interior is compressed and thus injure the vehicle occupants.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, mit verhältnismässig geringem konstruktiven Aufwand und ohne eine erhebliche Erhöhung des Fahrzeuggewichtes den Insassen eines gepanzerten Fahrzeuges einen verbesserten Schutz gegenüber der Einwirkung von Minen zu gewährleisten.The invention is based on the object, with relatively little design effort and without a significant increase in vehicle weight to ensure the occupants of an armored vehicle improved protection against the action of mines.

Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt bei einem Fahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art dadurch, dass der Bodenbereich oder ein Wandbereich einer Seitenwandausnehmung des Innenraumes über mindestens ein knick oder beulsteifes Stützelement mit dem Fahrzeugdach verbunden ist.The inventive solution of this object is achieved in a vehicle of the type mentioned in that the bottom portion or a wall portion of a Seitenwandausnehmung the interior is connected via at least one kink or bulge-resistant support member to the vehicle roof.

Das Fahrzeug, an dem die Erfindung im Folgenden näher erläutert wird, ist beispielsweise entsprechend der schematischen Darstellung in Fig.1 ausgeführt und hat acht angetrieben Räder 2, deren Radachsen jeweils durch McPherson-Federbeine 3 am Fahrzeugkörper abgestützt sind. Die Erfindung ist jedoch auch an Kettenfahrzeugen und unabhängig von der Zahl der Räder oder der Art der Abstützung ihrer Achsen realisierbar.The vehicle on which the invention will be explained in more detail below, for example, according to the schematic representation in Figure 1 and has eight driven wheels 2, the wheel axles are each supported by McPherson struts 3 on the vehicle body. However, the invention is also on tracked vehicles and regardless of the number of wheels or the type of support their axes feasible.

Wie der Querschnittsdarstellung in Fig.2 zu entnehmen ist, hat der für die Insassen vorgesehene Innenraum 4 einen geschlossenen Querschnitt mit einem Bodenbereich 5, sich an diesen anschliessende Seitenwände 6,7 und ein Dach 8. Zur Ausbildung von zwei seitlichen, jeweils vier Räder 2 hintereinander aufnehmenden Radräumen 9, 10, haben die Seitenwände 6,7 Ausnehmungen 11,12. Der an den Bodenbereich 5 angrenzende, untere Wandbereich 13 der Ausnehmungen 11,12 geht steil aber vorzugsweise schräg nach oben zu einem quer nach aussen gerichteten Wandbereich 14 über.2, the interior 4 provided for the occupants has a closed cross section with a bottom area 5, adjoining these side walls 6, 7 and a roof 8. For forming two lateral, four wheels 2 in each case one behind the other receiving wheel chambers 9, 10, the side walls have 6.7 recesses 11,12. The adjacent to the bottom portion 5, lower wall portion 13 of the recesses 11,12 is steep but preferably obliquely upwards to a transverse outwardly directed wall portion 14 via.

Durch den schrägen Verlauf dieses unteren Wandbereichs 13 der Ausnehmungen 11,12 ergibt sich für den Bodenbereich 5 des Innenraumes 4 eine verhältnismässig geringe Breite, so dass er eine gegen die Einwirkung einer Minenexplosion hohe Formbeständigkeit aufweist. Hierzu trägt auch ein einen Innenboden 15 umfassender, mehrschichtiger Aufbau des Bodenbereichs 5 bei, mit einem unter einer Bodenwand 16 angebrachten schalenförmigen, einen flach-trapezförmigen Querschnitt aufweisenden Schutzschild 17 und in Quer- und Längsrichtung zwischen der Bodenwand 16 und dem Innenboden 15 entlanglaufenden, zeichnerisch nur teilweise abgebildeten Kanälen für Antriebswellen, Versorgungsstränge u.dgl..Due to the oblique course of this lower wall portion 13 of the recesses 11,12 results for the bottom portion 5 of the inner space 4 a relatively small width, so that it has a high against the influence of a mine explosion dimensional stability. This also contributes to an inner bottom 15 comprehensive, multi-layered construction of the bottom portion 5, with a mounted under a bottom wall 16 cup-shaped, a flat-trapezoidal cross-section having shield 17 and in the transverse and longitudinal direction between the bottom wall 16 and the inner bottom 15 running along, drawing only partially shown channels for drive shafts, supply lines and the like.

Der steil nach oben führende, schräg nach aussen gerichtete Verlauf des unteren Wandbereichs 13 der Ausnehmungen 11,12 hat den weiteren Vorteil, dass bei einer Minenexplosion unter dem Rad 2 ein Abfliessen der Druckwelle begünstigt wird.The steeply upward, obliquely outward course of the lower wall portion 13 of the recesses 11,12 has the further advantage that in a mine explosion under the wheel 2, a discharge of the pressure wave is favored.

Fig.4 zeigt einen Teilquerschnitt eines ohne Schutzschild und entsprechend dem Stand der Technik ausgeführten Bodenbereichs 5', mit Innenbodenplatte 15', Querkanal 18 und Bodenwand 16'. Bei diesem Bodenbereich 5'grenzen die Bodenwand 16'und die Seitenwand 6' einen rechten Winkel bildend aneinander und sind durch eine dort geradlinig verlaufende Schweissnaht 19 miteinander verbunden. Diese Art der Verbindung zwischen der Bodenwand 16'und der Seitenwand 6' hat den Nachteil, dass selbst bei Anbringung eines zusätzlichen Schutzschildes die sich dort konzentrierenden Kräfte zum Aufreissen der Schweissnaht 19 führen. Aufgrund der prinzipiell im Bereich der Schweissnaht 19 gegebenen Werkstoffschwächung und durch ihren geradlinigen Verlauf kann sich ein Bruch mit verhältnismässig geringem Widerstand entlang der Schweissnaht fortsetzen.FIG. 4 shows a partial cross section of a floor area 5 'designed without protective shield and according to the state of the art, with inner bottom plate 15', transverse channel 18 and bottom wall 16 '. In this bottom region 5 ', the bottom wall 16' and the side wall 6 'define a right angle to one another and are connected to one another by a weld seam 19 running there in a straight line. This type of connection between the bottom wall 16 'and the side wall 6' has the disadvantage that even with the attachment of an additional protective shield, the forces concentrating there cause the tearing of the weld seam 19. Due to the material weakening given in principle in the region of the weld seam 19 and due to its rectilinear course, a break with relatively little resistance along the weld seam can continue.

Um diesen an Hand der Darstellung in Fig.4 offensichtlichen Nachteil zu vermeiden und somit eine erhöhte Festigkeit des Bodenbereichs 5 zu erzielen, ist gemäss einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung der Rand 20 der Bodenwand 16 mit bogenförmigem Verlauf aufwärts gebogen, überlappt sich mit der Seitenwand 6 und hat eine wellenförmige Endkante 21, an der entlang eine Schweissnaht 22 geführt ist. Ein zusätzliche Schweissnaht 23 ist an der Unterkante der Seitenwand 6 entlang geführt. Der wellenförmige Verlauf der Schweissnaht mit z.B. angenähert rechteckiger Wellenform verhindert, dass ein örtlich begrenztes Aufreissen der Schweissnaht nicht zu einer geradlinigen und damit im Wesentlichen unbehinderten Fortsetzung des Aufreissens führt. Es versteht sich, dass stattdessen oder zusätzlich eine wellenförmige, verschweisste Endkante analog auch an der Unterkante der Seitenwand 6 vorgesehen sein kann.In order to avoid this drawback, which is obvious from the illustration in FIG. 4, and thus to achieve increased strength of the bottom region 5, according to one embodiment of the invention, the edge 20 of the bottom wall 16 is curved upwards with a curved profile, overlapping with the side wall 6 and has a wave-shaped end edge 21, along which a weld 22 is guided. An additional weld seam 23 is guided along the lower edge of the side wall 6. The wave-shaped course of the weld with, for example, approximately rectangular waveform prevents a localized tearing of the weld does not lead to a straight-line and thus substantially unhindered continuation of tearing. It is understood that instead of or in addition a wave-shaped, welded end edge can be provided analogously also at the lower edge of the side wall 6.

Aufgrund der somit hohen Widerstandsfähigkeit des Bodenbereichs 5 setzen sich die durch eine Mine ausgelösten Beschleunigungskräfte ohne dessen wesentliche Verformung in die Seitenwände 6,7 fort, wobei das mit den Seitenwänden verbundene Fahrzeugdach 8 mit seinen an ihm befestigten Ausrüstungsteilen Trägheitskräfte entgegensetzt, durch die die Seitenwände 6,7 mit ihren Ausnehmungen 11,12 und der angrenzende Bereich des Daches 8 deformiert werden könnten, mit entsprechend fataler Stauchung des Innenraumes 4. Solche Ausrüstungsteile sind z.B. aus einem Geschützturm 24 bestehende Dachaufbauten und am Dach 8 hängend befestigte Sitze für die Insassen.Due to the thus high resistance of the floor area 5, the acceleration forces triggered by a mine continue without substantial deformation in the side walls 6,7, wherein the vehicle roof 8 connected to the side walls with its equipment attached to it opposes inertial forces through which the side walls. 6 , 7 with their recesses 11,12 and the adjacent area of the roof 8 could be deformed, with a correspondingly fatal compression of the interior space 4. Such equipment is eg from a turret 24 existing roof structures and hanging on the roof 8 mounted seats for the occupants.

Die Erfindung verfolgt den Zweck eine Deformation des Innenraumes 4 zu verhindern, so dass Minenkräfte von der gesamten Masse des Fahrzeuges aufgenommen werden und nur zu entsprechend geringen, für die Insassen verträglichen Beschleunigungen führen.The purpose of the invention is to prevent a deformation of the interior 4, so that mine forces are absorbed by the entire mass of the vehicle and lead only to correspondingly low, for the occupants acceptable accelerations.

Der Teilquerschnitt der Fig.3 betreffend eine Ausführung der Seitenwand 6' eines Fahrzeuges entsprechend dem Stand der Technik veranschaulicht durch die in Richtung der Pfeile 25 und 26 gegeneinander wirkenden Kräfte, dass eine solche, über die Ausnehmung 11' verlaufende Seitenwand 6' keine ausreichende Beulsteifigkeit aufweist.The partial cross-section of Figure 3 relating to an embodiment of the side wall 6 'of a vehicle according to the prior art illustrated by the force acting in the direction of arrows 25 and 26 against each other forces that such, over the recess 11' extending side wall 6 'not sufficient Beulsteifigkeit having.

Um zu verhindern, dass unter Mineneinwirkung der Bodenbereich 5 in Richtung zum Dach 8 bewegt wird, ist erfindungsgemäss dieser oder ein Wandbereich 13 der Ausnehmung 11,12 über knick- bzw. beulsteife Stützelemente mit dem Dach 8 verbunden. Vorzugsweise sind solche Stützelemente im Seitenbereich des Innenraumes 4 vorgesehen, d.h. in der Nähe des Kraftflusses, der durch den Pfeil 25 angedeutet ist, so dass sie die Insassen nicht behindern.In order to prevent the bottom area 5 from being moved in the direction of the roof 8 under mine action, this or a wall area 13 of the recess 11, 12 is connected to the roof 8 via buckling or buckling-resistant support elements. Preferably, such support elements are provided in the side region of the inner space 4, ie in the vicinity of the flow of force passing through the Arrow 25 is indicated so that they do not hinder the occupants.

Entsprechend dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich eine knicksteife Abstützung am Übergangsbereich zwischen einem steil nach oben gerichteten Wandbereich 13 und einem im wesentlichen quer nach aussen gerichteten Wandbereich 14 der Ausnehmung 11 bzw. 12 und ist beispielsweise durch ein nachrüstbares Abstützteil 27 realisiert, das zwischen der oberen Begrenzung einer ein Federbein 3 aufnehmenden, an sich bekannten rohr- und haubenförmigen Kammer 28 und dem Fahrzeugdach 8 vorgesehen ist. Die Querschnittsdarstellung der Fig.3 zeigt die bisher übliche Ausführung einer solchen Kammer 28', die die Aufgabe hat, eine in den Innenraum 4 hineinragende obere Befestigungsstelle 30 bzw. 30'eines McPherson-Federbeins 3 vorzusehen. Das Abstützteil 27 kann einstückig eine Fortsetzung der rohrförmigen Wand der Kammer 28 bilden oder zur entsprechenden Nachrüstung eines vorhandenen Fahrzeuges zwischen der Kammer 28 und dem Dach 8 befestigt werden. Eine nichtdargestellte seitliche Öffnung in dem Abstützteil 27 macht die Befestigungsstelle 30 des Federbeins 3 für dessen Montage zugänglich.According to the illustrated embodiment, there is a kink-resistant support at the transition region between a steeply upwardly directed wall portion 13 and a substantially transverse outwardly directed wall portion 14 of the recess 11 and 12 and is realized for example by a retrofittable support member 27, which between the upper boundary a shock absorber 3 receiving, known per se tubular and hood-shaped chamber 28 and the vehicle roof 8 is provided. The cross-sectional view of Figure 3 shows the hitherto conventional design of such a chamber 28 ', which has the task of providing a projecting into the interior 4 upper attachment point 30 or 30'eines McPherson strut 3. The support member 27 may integrally form a continuation of the tubular wall of the chamber 28 or be attached to the corresponding retrofitting of an existing vehicle between the chamber 28 and the roof 8. An unillustrated lateral opening in the support member 27 makes the attachment point 30 of the strut 3 accessible for its mounting.

Die Seitenansicht nach Fig.1 lässt in Verbindung mit der Querschnittsdarstellung in Fig.2 erkennen, dass bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel beidseitig je eine Reihe von vier Stützelementen 27,28 vorgesehen ist, indem diese jeweils mit den McPherson-Federbeinen kombiniert sind. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass auch unabhängig vom Vorhandensein von sich in den Innenraum 4 hineinerstreckenden Federbeinkammern 28 entsprechende Stützelemente vorgesehen werden können, die sich vorzugsweise an dem oberen Wandbereich 14 des Radraumes 9 bzw. 10 abstützen.The side view of Figure 1 can be seen in conjunction with the cross-sectional view in Figure 2, that in this embodiment, both sides of a row of four support members 27,28 is provided by these are each combined with the McPherson struts. However, it is understood that 28 corresponding support elements can be provided regardless of the presence of hineinerstreckigen in the interior 4 strut chambers, preferably on the support the upper wall portion 14 of the wheel space 9 and 10 respectively.

Die Stützelemente können verschiedene für knicksteife Stützfunktionen übliche Querschnittsformen aufweisen. Beispielsweise können anstatt mehrerer rohrförmiger Stützelemente auch beulsteife, doppelwandige Wandelemente mit grösseren Aussparungen vorgesehen werden, durch die hindurch die über den Radräumen 9,10 angeordneten Seitenbereiche 31,32 des Innenraumes 4 zugänglich bleiben.The support elements may have various conventional cross-sectional shapes for buckling support functions. For example, instead of a plurality of tubular support elements, it is also possible to provide bulge-resistant, double-walled wall elements with larger recesses through which the side areas 31, 32 of the interior space 4 arranged above the wheel spaces 9, 10 remain accessible.
