Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of devices for protecting a floor of a land vehicle against mines.
  • shielding In order to protect the floor of a land vehicle, it is known to arrange a shielding therein for absorbing and / or deflecting the breath produced by the mine.
  • Known shields comprise one or more metal or composite layers and possibly deflector means.
  • the DE10144208 thus describes a shield comprising a convex box covering the floor of the vehicle.
  • the shape of the box ensures a diversion of a part of the breath of a mine.
  • shields or known protection devices usually have a constant thickness over the entire width to be protected and defined according to the maximum stresses generated by the mine. This results in a large mass for the armor which penalizes the mobility of the vehicle. This also results in reduced ground clearance.
  • the patent is also known WO 2007/020531 which was published on 22/02/2007 and describes a device for protecting the floor of a vehicle.
  • This device consists of a box whose side walls are resistant to the bottom wall so as to cause the deformation of the side walls to gradually flatten the box.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for protecting a floor of a land vehicle against mines, a device comprising at least one box having a convex external surface oriented towards the ground, the box comprising a massive middle part arranged between two side walls and extending over the entire length of the box, the combination of the side walls and the median part giving the overall convex shape of the box, shape to deflect part of the breath during the detonation of a mine, the medial part having a thickness (E) greater than that (e) of the side walls and being designed so as to transmit, during the detonation of the mine, the forces towards the side walls so as to cause deformation of the walls; lateral leading to a progressive flattening of the box towards the floor, characterized in that the middle part is formed by a distinct central piece which is secured to the side walls by fastening means, the middle piece being in contact with the side walls by bearing surfaces.
  • the median part may comprise at least one internal cavity.
  • the middle portion and the side walls may constitute a one-piece assembly.
  • the box may have at least one internal partition.
  • the box may also contain at least one block of damping material.
  • the box may constitute an element attached to a vehicle.
  • the box may itself be part of the structure of a lower part of a vehicle.
  • the figure 1a shows a vehicle 1 which has a cabin 2 carried by wheels 3 which are connected to the cab by axle arms 4. It is shown on the figure 1a a blast mine 5 placed on the ground 6. This mine generates during its initiation a strong pressure (shown by the arrows p) towards a floor 7 of the vehicle 1.
  • the device is shown here in the form of a separate box which is attached to the lower part of the vehicle 1.
  • box 8 in the sense of the invention will therefore be understood a structure delimited by walls and which itself delimits an internal volume 9.
  • This structure can be reported to an existing vehicle to achieve an over protection. It may also be defined, from the design of the vehicle, as a constituent part of a cabin or floor of the vehicle.
  • the box 8 has an external surface which is convex and oriented towards the ground 6.
  • This box further comprises a median portion 10 which is disposed between two side walls 11a, 11b.
  • This middle portion has a thickness E which is greater than the thicknesses e of the side walls 11a and 11b.
  • the side walls 11a and 11b are thus constituted by sheets (for example of steel) while the median part is formed here by a piece 10 (for example of steel), obtained by machining or foundry, and which is made integral with the walls.
  • lateral 11a 11b by fastening means, for example by welding.
  • the piece 10 extends over the entire length L of the box 8.
  • the box 8 is delimited at its front and rear faces by closure plates 12a and 12b made of steel, welded to the walls 11a and 11b. It is of course possible to lighten the device not to provide closure plates 12a, 12b (especially when the box is an over-protection reported).
  • the part 10 is connected to the walls 11a, 11b by bearing surfaces 13 which will be inclined relative to the vertical (see Figure la).
  • the box 8 will be given a length L equal to that of the part of the vehicle that is primarily to be protected. It will be possible eventually to have a well 8 whose total length will be equal to the length of the vehicle 1.
  • the box according to the invention has a behavior during the detonation of a mine which is totally different from that of the known convex boxes.
  • the known caissons partly deflect the breath of the mine thanks to their convexity but they must be sufficiently resistant mechanically to avoid any tearing of the sheets of the box. This results in thick and heavy boxes.
  • the box according to the invention comprises a median solid part 10 which resists tearing and which transmits to the side walls part of the shock received. This transmission is via the bearing surfaces 13 connecting the side walls to the part 10.
  • the main force received vertically at the portion 10, is transmitted to the walls 11a, 11b and it causes a deformation of the latter and a progressive flattening of the box 8 in the direction of the floor 7.
  • This mechanical deformation has a slower kinematics than that of constant thickness boxes. It allows to consume the energy communicated by the mine and thus ensures the protection of the floor.
  • the side walls 11a and 11b may be thinner because they are located at a distance from the middle part which is the one most solicited by the effects of a mine.
  • the bearing surfaces 13 represented on the figure 1a are flat surfaces substantially perpendicular to the side walls 11a and 11b.
  • the figure 1b shows thus substantially horizontal bearing surfaces 13 which are formed by grooves 14 provided on each side of the part 10 and on which beveled ends of the side walls 11a, 11b.
  • the skilled person will size the side walls 11a, 11b and the piece 10 according to the characteristics of the mine threat against which he wants to protect the vehicle and according to the characteristics of the vehicle itself.
  • the surface density of the box according to the invention can be reduced compared to that of known boxes having a constant thickness. This results in a reduced overall mass for protection.
  • box 8 associating steel side walls 11a, 11b and a central piece 10 also made of steel. It is of course possible to implement different materials. We can for example make a box 8 of non-magnetic materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium. It would also be possible to make the casing 8 partially made of composite materials. These solutions would lighten the box even further and reduce its magnetic signature.
  • the internal volume 9 of the box 8 may allow to house the mechanical parts of the vehicle, for example a transmission shaft.
  • the outer shape of the piece 10 may also be different from a triangular shape. We can adopt a part 10 whose outer profile is rounded for example cylindrical or hyperbolic.
  • FIG 3 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the casing 8 has internal partitions 15 which allow to stiffen it. These partitions have a profile similar to that of the closure plates 12a, 12b and they bear on both the side walls 11a, 11b and on the part 10.
  • the partitions 15 will for example be made in the form of sheets welded to the walls 11a, 11b. Such an embodiment makes it possible to define between each pair of partitions, different zones of deformation for the structure of the box.
  • the blocks may be made of a cellular material (such as a honeycomb).
  • the blocks may be made of metallic material or of organic or composite material.
  • the figure 4 shows two blocks 16 disposed at a front portion of the box 8.
  • the two housing delimited by partitions 15 at the rear of the box 8 are free of blocks. It is thus possible to provide damping blocks 16 only at a zone of the box 8 that is particularly sought to strengthen.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b show another embodiment of the invention in which the casing 8 comprises a median part 10 which is lightened. This part 10 thus has cavities 17 regularly distributed over its length.
  • the skilled person will easily size the number, shape, dimensions and distribution of the cavities 17 on the part 10 according to the desired stiffness characteristics.
  • the cavities 17 may be made by machining or obtained by casting during the manufacture of the part 10.
