Un tout premier avantage du dispositif selon l'invention réside dans sa grande maniabilité par le véhicule qui en est équipé.A very first advantage of the device according to the invention resides in its great maneuverability by the vehicle fitted with it.
Un autre avantage du dispositif réside dans sa capacité à équiper aussi bien des véhicules militaires que des véhicules civils, tels un tracteur agricole, un engin de déblaiement ou encore un engin de travaux publics.Another advantage of the device lies in its capacity to equip both military vehicles and civil vehicles, such as an agricultural tractor, a clearing or a public works machine.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective qui représente
un dispositif 1 de déminage selon l'invention, dans sa
configuration de travail. Dans cet exemple de réalisation,
le dispositif de déminage 1 est constitué d'un châssis 4,
d'une charrue 5, d'un train de roulement 7 comportant des
roues 8 et un essieu (non visible sur la figure), une barre
9 de remorquage, une boíte 10 de gestion de commande et de
gestion d'énergie, des marqueurs 11, des élargisseurs 12 de
charrue, des bobines magnétiques de leurrage 13 et un moyen
(non représentée) de communication entre le véhicule et la
boíte 10. Dans cette configuration, les éléments du
dispositif sont déployés afin d'être utilisés pour
détecter, déclencher et repousser en dehors de l'itinéraire
à déminer les munitions (mines, grenades) posées en
surface. La charrue 5 est disposée au ras du sol.Figure 1 is a perspective view which represents
a demining device 1 according to the invention, in its
working configuration. In this exemplary embodiment,
the demining device 1 consists of a
Les élargisseurs 12 sont placés dans le prolongement de
la charrue 5, de manière à ce que la largeur de l'ensemble
charrue/élargisseurs soit plus importante que la largeur du
véhicule équipé du dispositif. La barre 9 de remorquage est
relevée afin de ne pas entraver la fixation du dispositif 1
sur le véhicule. Les bobines magnétiques 13 disposées de
manière à créer un champ magnétique, recouvrant au moins la
largeur de déminage, de manière à déclencher des mines à
allumeurs magnétiques situées sur la trajectoire du
véhicule. Le fonctionnement des bobines de déminage est
connu et est largement décrit dans d'autres documents. On
pourra notamment se référer aux brevets FR-2 750 204 et FR-2
701 105 qui décrivent de tels types de bobines. Les
marqueurs 11 sont écartés d'une largeur sensiblement égale
à la largeur de l'ensemble charrue/élargisseurs, de manière
à baliser l'itinéraire emprunté par le véhicule de
déminage. La boíte 10 de gestion de commande permet de
communiquer avec le pilote du véhicule et d'exécuter des
commandes (par exemple en modifiant le champ magnétique
créé par les bobines 13) ou de transmettre des données
(détection de mines, disfonctionnements, détection
d'obstacles,...). La boíte 10 est également équipée d'un
système de gestion d'énergie qui permet d'alimenter les
systèmes électriques, électromécaniques ou électroniques du
dispositif. Ce système de gestion d'énergie peut être par
exemple une batterie électrique ou une dynamo.The
Ainsi, lorsqu'un véhicule de déminage équipé d'un dispositif selon l'invention se déplace, les mines sont rapidement déclenchées et/ou repoussées à l'extérieur de l'itinéraire du véhicule et la zone ainsi "nettoyée" est balisée.So when a demining vehicle equipped with a device according to the invention moves, the mines are quickly triggered and / or pushed outside of the route of the vehicle and the area thus "cleaned" is marked.
La figure 2 illustre l'utilisation du dispositif 1 à
l'aide d'un véhicule 2. Le véhicule 2 est préférablement un
véhicule équipé d'un mécanisme 15 de bras de levage, le
dispositif se connecte par exemple en lieu et place d'une
lame de déblaiement, d'une pelle ou d'une fourche. Le
dispositif 1 peut également équiper un véhicule dépourvu
d'un tel mécanisme 15. Il sera tout aussi efficace mais la
mobilité du véhicule en sera légèrement affectée. Le
véhicule 2 peut par exemple être un véhicule militaire
blindé, un véhicule de terrassement ou encore un engin
agricole.Figure 2 illustrates the use of the device 1 to
using a
Le dispositif 1 est ici utilisé dans sa configuration
de travail. Il est fixé sur les bras 15 de levage (ou, à
défaut de système de levage, directement sur le châssis du
véhicule 2) et est connecté au véhicule 2 par l'interface
de communication (non représentée).The device 1 is used here in its configuration
of work. It is fixed on the lifting arms 15 (or, at
lifting system fault, directly on the chassis
vehicle 2) and is connected to
L'utilisation du dispositif de déminage à l'aide d'un
véhicule équipé de bras 15 de levage, illustrée par la
figure 3, permet de soulever entièrement le dispositif 1 de
déminage et de franchir aisément, et avec une bonne
visibilité, un obstacle présent sur la trajectoire du
véhicule 2.Using the demining device with a
vehicle fitted with lifting arms, illustrated by the
Figure 3, allows to fully lift the device 1 from
clearing and clearing easily, and with good
visibility, an obstacle present on the trajectory of the
Les figures 4 et 5 représentent, le dispositif de déminage selon l'invention, en configuration de transport.Figures 4 and 5 show, the demining according to the invention, in transport configuration.
Afin de faciliter le transport du dispositif de
déminage, les marqueurs 11 sont repliées contre la boíte
10. Les élargisseurs 12 sont également repliés. On a
représenté ici des élargisseurs repliables, mais ceux-ci
peuvent également être amovibles par exemple avec une
liaison tenon/mortaise. Le dispositif est ainsi rendu plus
compact et peut être remorqué, par l'intermédiaire de sa
barre 9 de remorquage, par un véhicule quelconque muni d'un
moyen classique de fixation d'une barre de remorquage.
Lorsque le dispositif 1 est tracté à l'arrière du véhicule
2, il est incliné afin de relever la charrue 5 d'une
hauteur suffisante pour permettre le remorquage du
dispositif sur de longues distances et à la vitesse requise
sur les voies empruntées.In order to facilitate the transportation of the
demining, the
La figure 6 représente, en vue de dessus, un véhicule 2
équipé d'un dispositif de déminage en position de travail à
l'avant et d'un dispositif de déminage en configuration de
transport à l'arrière.FIG. 6 represents, in top view, a
Lorsque le dispositif de déminage est en configuration
de travail, les marqueurs 11 et les élargisseurs de charrue
12 délimitent une largeur L suffisante pour que le véhicule
2, de gabarit G ne risque pas de rouler sur une mine.
Lorsque le dispositif est en configuration de transport,
les marqueurs 11 et les élargisseurs 12 sont repliés afin
que la largeur 1 du dispositif de déminage soit inférieure
ou égale au gabarit G du véhicule afin d'être tracté sur
des voies de transport classiques.When the demining device is in configuration
,
Ces illustrations ont été données à titre d'exemple. On
peut bien sûr imaginer de remplacer les roues par (ou
d'ajouter sur l'essieu) des rouleaux dont la fonction est
d'appliquer sur le sol une force suffisante pour déclencher
des mines enfouies dans le sol. De même, le train de
roulement 7 n'est pas nécessairement composé d'un essieu et
de roues. D'autres réalisations sont possibles. Par
exemple, on peut fixer les roues 8 directement sur le
châssis 4, ou par l'intermédiaire de moyens
d'amortissement.These illustrations have been given by way of example. We
can of course imagine replacing the wheels with (or
add rollers on the axle)
apply enough force to the ground to trigger
mines buried in the ground. Similarly, the train of
On peut également munir ce dispositif de périphériques
reliés à la boíte 10 de gestion de commandes. Ces
périphériques peuvent par exemple être des capteurs de
position des éléments, des capteurs de dysfonctionnement,
des capteurs d'obstacle, un système de positionnement
(GPS), un système de visée, ou tout autre périphérique
utile lors d'une action de déminage.You can also equip this device with peripherals
connected to the
Les éléments ont ici été représentés en liaison directe
avec le châssis 4, mais on peut également imaginer qu'ils
sont actionnés par des moteurs permettant leur déploiement
ou encore qu'ils soient supportés par des moyens
d'amortissement destinés à amortir les accidents de
terrains et/ou l'énergie due à l'explosion d'une mine.The elements have been represented here in direct connection
with
Les représentations du dispositif ont été données à
titre illustratif, le dimensionnement des éléments du
dispositif, et notamment de la charrue 5, de ses
élargisseurs 12 et du train de roulement 7, sera défini de
manière à appliquer sur le sol une force suffisante afin de
permettre de déterrer les mines enfouies.The representations of the device were given to
