Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Minenräumen, bestehend aus einem Kampfpanzerfahrgestell als Trägerfahrzeug mit vorgebautem Minenräumgestell, welches mittels eines am Heck angebauten Krans auf dem Heck des Fahrzeugs abgelegt werden kann, sowie einer Transport- und Abwurfeinrichtung für Faschinenbündel auf dem Fahrzeug, mit denen üblicherweise Gräben überwunden werden.The invention relates to a device for mine clearance, consisting of a battle tank chassis as a carrier vehicle with vorgenautem mine clearing rack, which can be stored by means of a rear-mounted crane on the rear of the vehicle, and a transport and discharge device for fascine bundles on the vehicle, with which Usually trenches are overcome.

Verlegte Minen sperren Geländeflächen und behindern oder unterbinden Truppenbewegungen. Deshalb muß eine militärische Truppe zumindest zum Räumen einer Durchfahrt durch ein Minenfeld in der Lage sein.
Auch entsprechend breite und tiefe Gräben behindern die Truppenbwegung. Zur Überwindung von Gräben werden sogenannte Faschinen, gebündelte Pakete aus zum Beispiel dicken Knüppeln oder Baumstämmen, in den Graben geworfen, so daß ein Kettenfahrzeug den Graben überfahren kann.
Die herkömmliche Minenräumung mit Metalldetektor und Minensuchnadel ist zeitaufwendig und gefährlich. Generell gibt es nur zwei eindeutige Kriterien, die eine Mine von dem umgebenden Boden unterscheiden: ein Sprengstoffgehalt und eine minimale Größe von ca. 5 cm Kantenlänge oder Durchmesser. Dies ist begründet in einer angestrebten Wirkung und kann daher nicht ohne Wirkungsverlust unterschritten werden.Relocated mines block off-road areas and hinder or prevent troop movements. Therefore, a military force must at least be able to clear a passage through a minefield.
Also broad and deep trenches obstruct the troop movement. To overcome trenches so-called fascines, bundled packages of, for example, thick sticks or logs, thrown into the ditch, so that a tracked vehicle can run over the ditch.
The traditional mine clearance with metal detector and mine-search needle is time-consuming and dangerous. Generally, there are only two distinct criteria that distinguish a mine from the surrounding soil: an explosive content and a minimum size of about 5 cm edge length or diameter. This is justified in a desired effect and therefore can not be reached without loss of effectiveness.

Nach dem Stand der Technik gibt es mehrere Geräteausführungen, die als Anbaugeräte an einem Panzer die Räumung von Oberflächenminen oder im Boden versteckte Minen erlauben. Auch an einem Fahrzeug vorgebaute Fräswalzen sind bekannt geworden.According to the state of the art, there are several types of equipment, which allow as an attachment to a tank, the clearing of surface mines or mines hidden in the ground. Also on a vehicle vorgebaute milling drums have become known.

In der Druckschrift DE 19702297 C1 wird ein Minenräumwagen als Vorbaugerät beschrieben, welches eine Oberfläche räumt und sich Straßenunebenheiten anpassen kann. In der DE 44 42 135 C1 wird eine Räumvorrichtung verwendet, bei der rotierende Elemente als in den Erdboden eingreifende Scheibenkörper ausgebildet sind und die antreibbaren Scheibenkörper am Umfang Schneid- oder Sägeelemente aufweisen.In the document DE 19702297 C1, a mine clearing vehicle is described as a front attachment, which clears a surface and can adapt to uneven roads. In DE 44 42 135 C1 a clearing device is used, are formed in the rotating elements as engaging in the ground disk body and the drivable disk body on the periphery cutting or sawing elements.

In der DE19513450 C1 wird eine Vorrichtung zur Bearbeitung von Böden einschließlich Minenzerstörung mit einer Fräswalze beschrieben. Dieses Gerät besitzt ein oben liegendes und einstellbares Brechelement mit einer zur Walze einstellbaren Brechkante und Durchlaufspalt für das von der Walze geförderte Bodenmaterial.DE19513450 C1 describes a device for processing soils including mine destruction with a milling drum. This device has an overhead and adjustable crushing element with a roll-adjustable crushing edge and passage gap for the conveyed by the roller soil material.

Weiterhin sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, die den Boden mit Schneiden oder Hämmern, die am Umfang einer waagerecht liegenden angetriebenen Walze angebracht sind, durcharbeiten und etwaige Minen im Boden mittels Druckbeaufschlagung durch die Schneiden zur Explosion bringen, wobei die Förderung von Bodenmaterial von sekundärer Bedeutung oder ein Störfaktor ist. Nach der EP 0618423 ist es bekannt, mit einer Walze den Boden vor der Walze anzuhäufen und die im Boden enthaltenen Minen durch den Anpressdruck der Walze oder den Materialdruck im angehäuften Boden zur Explosion zu bringen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass lediglich ein Teil der Minen unschädlich gemacht wird.Furthermore, devices are known which work through the soil with cutters or hammers mounted on the periphery of a horizontally driven roller and explode any mines in the soil by pressurization by the cutting edges, with the promotion of soil material of secondary importance or a disturbing factor is. According to EP 0618423 it is known to accumulate the soil in front of the roll with a roller and to explode the mines contained in the ground by the contact pressure of the roller or the material pressure in the accumulated soil. It has been shown that only a part of the mines is rendered harmless.

Bekannt ist auch der Minenräumpanzer Keiler der Bundeswehr, der ein rotierendes Flailsystem vor dem Fahrzeug an Schubarmen montiert hat, mit denen der Boden vor dem Fahrzeug durchkämmt, von Minen befreit und eine minenfreie Gasse hergestellt wird, siehe Wehrtechnik Nr. 8/ 1996 oder Firmenschrift MaK System GmbH, Kiel.Also well-known is the mine clearance Keiler of the German Federal Armed Forces, which has mounted a rotating lintel system in front of the vehicle on push arms, with which the floor is combed in front of the vehicle, cleared of mines and a mine-free lane is produced, see Military Technology No. 8/1996 or company brochure MaK System GmbH, Kiel.

Als Faschinenlegepanzer ist der englische Panzer Churchill von 1943 bekannt, der noch lange nach dem 2. Weltkrieg seinen Dienst tat (Seite 38, Seite 146/ Bild 82, Wehrwissenschaftliche Berichte Band 18 "Pionierpanzer", J.F.Lehmanns Verlag München 1976).As Faschinenlegepanzer the English tank Churchill of 1943 is known, who did his service long after the Second World War (page 38, page 146 / Figure 82, military reports Volume 18 "Pioneer Tank", J.F.Lehmanns Verlag Munich 1976).

Aus der Webseite http://tanxheaven.com/chieftainavreintrim/chieftainavreintrim.htm ist eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Räumen von Minen mit einem Minenräumgerät und einem Faschinenleger bekannt. Nachteilig ist, dass die Faschinen abgeworfen werden müssen oder lange, über das Fahrzeug hinausgehende Träger vorzusehen sind.From the website http://tanxheaven.com/chieftainavreintrim/chieftainavreintrim.htm a generic device for clearing mines with a mine clearing machine and a Facheleger is known. The disadvantage is that the fascines must be dropped or long, beyond the vehicle outgoing carrier are provided.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Verwendung gattungsgemäßer Ausbildungen eines Räumpanzers für die Minenräumung und Faschinenverlegung zu verbessern, um in Kombination mit dem Fahrzeug Minen auf einfache Weise unschädlich und Gräben überbrückbar zu machen.The object of the invention is to improve the use of generic embodiments of a Räumpanzers for mine clearance and Faschinenverlegung, In combination with the vehicle, mines can easily be rendered harmless and trenches bridged.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß ein Panzerfahrgestell mit einem Vorbaugerät zur Minenräumung ausgerüstet wird und ein Faschinentransport- und abwurfgerät oben auf dem Panzerfahrgestell aufgebaut wird. Ergänzt wird die Anordnung durch einen Ladekran am Fahrzeugheck, welcher den Pflug oder Faschinen heben kann, und eine Ablagefläche am Fahrzeugheck für den Minenpflug.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention in that a Panzerfahrgestell is equipped with a front attachment for mine clearance and a Faschinentransport- and ejection device is constructed on top of the armored chassis. The arrangement is supplemented by a loading crane at the rear of the vehicle, which can lift the plow or fascines, and a storage area at the rear of the vehicle for the mine plow.

Der Minenräumpanzer wird mit einem bekannten Minenräumpflug ausgerüstet, der auf dem Fahrzeugheck transportiert und mit einem am Heck angebrachten Kran gehoben werden kann.
Für die Kennzeichnung der Räumspur werden links und rechts am Fahrzeugheck bei Bedarf Markierungsgeräte angebaut, die die geräumte Trasse kennzeichnen mittels Abwurf einer Markierung oder Farbe.
Das Fahrzeug besitzt auch eine Abwurfeinrichtung für Faschinen, die beim Räumeinsatz mitgeführt wird und bei Bedarf Faschinen vor dem Räumpflug abwirft.The mine clearance tank is equipped with a well-known mine plowing flight, which can be transported on the rear of the vehicle and lifted with a crane attached to the rear.
For the marking of the clearing track marking devices are attached to the left and right of the rear of the vehicle if necessary, which mark the cleared route by dropping a mark or color.
The vehicle also has a discharge device for fascines, which is carried along in the clearing operation and, if necessary, dumps fascines before picking.

Aufgrund der ganz unterschiedlichen Minen und Explosionskörper, die unschädlich gemacht werden sollen, wird das Fahrzeug fallweise ferngesteuert und fernüberwacht eingesetzt.
Um ein sicheres Manövrieren des Fahrzeugs als Kettenfahrzeug zu ermöglichen, ist die Arbeitsbreite des Minenpflugs größer als die Spurweite des Fahrzeugs ausgelegt.Due to the very different mines and explosives that are to be made harmless, the vehicle is occasionally remotely controlled and remotely monitored.
In order to enable safe maneuvering of the vehicle as a tracked vehicle, the working width of the mine plow is designed to be larger than the track width of the vehicle.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen vor allem darin, daß das Fahrzeug die Funktionen Minenräumung, Minenmarkierung und Grabenüberwindung mittels Faschinen in einem Zusammenhang ausführen kann. Vorteilhaft ist auch die Verwendung eines Panzerfahrgestells, wobei die Faschinenabwurfeinrichtung ersatzweise für einen Panzerturm in den Turmdrehkranz eingebaut wird. Mittels eines Ladekrans am Fahrzeugheck kann der Minenpflug, Faschinen und andere Teile gehoben und verladen werden. Bei Nichtgebrauch des Minenpflugs wird dieser mittels des Kranes auf eine Transportplattform am Fahrzeugheck gehoben und verzurrt.The advantages of the invention are, above all, that the vehicle can carry out the functions mine clearance, mine marking and trench overrunning by means of fascines in a context. Also advantageous is the use of a Panzerfahrgestells, the Faschinenabwurfeinrichtung is substituted for a turret installed in the tower turntable. By means of a loading crane at the rear of the vehicle, the mine plow, fascines and other parts can be lifted and loaded. When the mine plow is not in use, it is lifted by the crane onto a transport platform at the rear of the vehicle and lashed down.

The Faschinenpaket lies on the carriage surface 18 and at the same time on the edge 19 of an alternative lifting device 14, which is mounted vertically displaceable by means of linkages and lever 21 on the longitudinal member 3a and can be moved by means of hydraulic cylinder 20.

Figur 8 zeigt die alternative Hebeeinrichtung 14 aus Fig. 7 in einer weiteren Ansicht. An dem Schlitten 15 können an geeigneter Stelle zwischen den Längsträgern Nebelwurfbecher (22) angeordnet sein.FIG. 8 shows the alternative lifting device 14 from FIG. 7 in a further view. On the carriage 15 can be arranged at a suitable location between the side rails Nebelwurfbecher (22).

Die Abwurfeinrichtung 3 auf dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 ist am vorderen Ende an Stützen mit Lagern 8 schwenkbar gelagert. Mit einem oder zwei Hydraulikzylindem 7 kann die Einrichtung 3 für den Abwurf der Faschinen oder für den Ausbau des Fahrzeugtriebwerks hochgeschwenkt werden.
Bei Verwendung eines Kampfpanzerfahrgestells 1 kann die gesamte Abwurfeinrichtung 3 am vorhandenen fahrzeugfesten Teil des vorhandenen Turmdrehkranzes (nicht dargestellt) montiert werden. Der Mannschaftsraum kann sich unterhalb des Turmdrehkranzes unter einer entsprechenden Abdeckung befinden.
Die Faschinen(pakete) 6 werden quer zur Fahrtrichtung auf der Abwurfeinrichtung 3 gelagert. Sie liegen auf den Transportbändern 11 und werden mittels Gurtbändern 10 in der Transportposition verzurrt. Die Gurtbänder wickeln sich nach der Entriegelung automatisch auf. Das vordere Faschinenpaket 6a wird gegen die Förderbänder gezogen. Die hinteren Pakete 6 werden mit Lagerplatten an der jeweiligen Hebeeinrichtung 14 verzurrt.The discharge device 3 on the carrier vehicle 1 is pivotally mounted at the front end to supports with bearings 8. With one or two Hydraulikzylindem 7, the device 3 for the dropping of the fascines or for the removal of the vehicle engine can be swung up.
When using a battle tank chassis 1, the entire discharge device 3 on the existing vehicle-fixed part of the existing tower turntable (not shown) can be mounted. The crew compartment may be below the tower turntable under a corresponding cover.
The fascines (packages) 6 are mounted transversely to the direction of travel on the discharge device 3. They lie on the conveyor belts 11 and are lashed by means of straps 10 in the transport position. The straps wrap themselves automatically after unlocking. The front Faschinenpaket 6a is pulled against the conveyor belts. The rear packages 6 are lashed with bearing plates on the respective lifting device 14.

Die Hebeeinrichtungen 14 sind an den Längsträgern 3a gelagert und können mit Hilfe von Hydrozylindern angehoben und abgesenkt werden. Ebenso ist es alternativ möglich, die Hebeeinrichtung mittels zwei Hebepunkten zu realisieren. Das mit der Hebeeinrichtung 14 verzurrte Faschinenpaket 6 gibt in der angehobenen Position die beiden Transportbänder 11 frei. Das jeweils vordere Paket kann nun nach gelöster Verzurrung und auf den Transportbändern aufliegend bei nach vorn geschwenkter Abwurfeinrichtung nach vorn abgelegt werden. Die Transportbänder laufen synchron und werden im einfachsten Fall nicht angetrieben, da das Paket wegen der Schrägstellung der Einrichtung aufgrund seines Gewichts auf den Transportbändern nach vorn abläuft. Dabei kann das Verlagern der Faschinen in Längsrichtung auf der Abwurfeinrichtung von den angetriebenen Ausschüben 9 mit übernommen werden. Alternativ kann das Verlagern der Faschine mittels Heckkran vorgenommen werden.
Die beiden in den Längsträgern 3a gelagerten Ausschübe 9 ermöglichen die Ablage der Faschine in einem größeren Abstand vor dem Fahrzeug. Dabei rutscht die Faschine über den ausgefahrenen Obergurt der Ausschübe bis auf den Boden aufgrund der schräggeschwenkten Abwurfeinrichtung.
Der Faschinenabwurfvorgang läuft in folgenden Schritten ab:

  • Faschinenpakete 6, die nicht abgeworfen werden sollen, werden mit einer Hebeeinrichtung 14 angehoben (so daß sie vom Transportband 11 frei kommen),
  • Die Abwurfeinrichtung 3 wird hochgeschwenkt,
  • Die Aussübe 9 werden ausgefahren,
  • Die Gurtbänder am abzuwerfenden Faschinenpaket 6a werden gelöst,
  • Die Transportbänder 11 setzen sich in Bewegung mit dem Faschinenpaket 6a und werfen das Paket ab,
  • Die Abwurfeinrichtung 3 wird wieder abgesenkt,
  • Die Hebeeinrichtungen 14 werden abgesenkt bis die Faschinen 6 wieder auf den Transportbändern 11 aufliegen.
The lifting devices 14 are mounted on the longitudinal beams 3a and can be raised and lowered by means of hydraulic cylinders. Likewise, it is alternatively possible to realize the lifting device by means of two lifting points. The fastened with the lifting device 14 Faschinenpaket 6 are in the raised position, the two conveyor belts 11 free. The respective front package can now be stored after loosening lashing and lying on the conveyor belts lying forward with the ejection device tilted forward. The conveyor belts run synchronously and are not driven in the simplest case, since the package due to the inclination of the device due to its weight on the conveyor belts runs forward. In this case, the shifting of the fascines in the longitudinal direction on the discharge device of the driven extensions 9 can be taken over. Alternatively, the shifting of the fascine can be carried out by means of a rear crane.
The two outriggers 9 mounted in the longitudinal members 3a allow the storage of the fascine at a greater distance in front of the vehicle. In the process, the fascine slips over the extended upper flange of the extension to the floor due to the obliquely pivoted discharge device.
The Faschenabwurfvorgang takes place in the following steps:
  • Faschinenpakete 6, which are not to be dropped, are lifted with a lifting device 14 (so that they come free from the conveyor belt 11),
  • The discharge device 3 is swung up,
  • The eyes 9 are extended,
  • The webbings on the ejection pack 6a to be ejected are loosened,
  • The conveyor belts 11 set in motion with the Faschinenpaket 6a and throw the package off,
  • The discharge device 3 is lowered again,
  • The lifting devices 14 are lowered until the fascines 6 rest on the conveyor belts 11 again.
