Abstract

An improved SLAT protection, especially for a military or paramilitary vehicle, has SLAT panels (2a, 2b) linked to each other and to the mounting (1) via sprung elements (3). These can be metal springs, chains, hinges or elastomer springs, or a combination of all. Separate panels can be removed and replaced.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine bewegliche und zudem auch abnehmbare Ausführung eines SLAT-Schutzes für Bereiche des Fahrzeuges, welche insbesondere bei Geländefahrten nicht beschädigt werden soll. Dieses sind insbesondere der Front- und der Heckbereich des Fahrzeuges.The invention relates to a movable and also removable design of a SLAT protection for areas of the vehicle, which should not be damaged especially in off-road driving. These are in particular the front and the rear of the vehicle.

Ungepanzerte, leicht- und schwergepanzerte Fahrzeug werden in Krisen- und Kriegsgebieten eingesetzt. Diese Fahrzeuge sind, insbesondere bei asymmetrischer Bedrohung in urbanem Gebiete (z. B. Dörfern und Städten), einer besonderen Gefährdung durch tragbare Panzerabwehrwaffen (z. B. RPG 7) ausgesetzt. Dabei sind die Bedrohungsentfernung und die Bedrohungsrichtung auf die Fahrzeuge nicht vorhersehbar bzw. bestimmbar. Die Fahrzeuge, insbesondere die Mannschafträume werden daher mit Zusatzpanzerungen und / oder einem SLAT-Schutz ausgestattet.Unarmored, lightly and heavily armored vehicles are used in crisis and war zones. These vehicles are particularly vulnerable to portable anti-tank weapons (eg RPG 7), especially in asymmetric urban threats (eg villages and towns). The threat removal and threat direction on the vehicles can not be predicted or determined. The vehicles, especially the crew rooms are therefore equipped with additional armor and / or a SLAT protection.

Zusatzpanzerungen, insbesondere passive, sind vergleichsweise schwer, weisen aber einen hohen Schutzgrad auf. Ein SLAT-Schutz besteht aus einem massiven Gitter und einem definierten Lückenabstand, welches die anfliegenden Panzerabwehrgranaten mit einer hohen Wahrscheinlichkeit vor dem eigentlichen Ziel beschädigen soll, so dass diese nicht oder unkontrolliert auslösen können. Der SLAT-Schutz wird seit einigen Jahren insbesondere aufgrund seiner einfachen Konstruktion, Nachrüstbarkeit, kostengünstigen Herstellung und vergleichsweise niedrigen Gewichtes bei einer Vielzahl von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere bei Radfahrzeugen eingesetzt.Additional armor, especially passive, are relatively heavy, but have a high degree of protection. A SLAT protection consists of a massive grid and a defined gap spacing, which should damage the approaching anti-tank grenades with a high probability of the actual target, so that they can not trigger or uncontrolled. The SLAT protection has been used for some years, in particular because of its simple design, retrofitting, cost-effective production and relatively low weight in a variety of vehicles, especially in wheeled vehicles.

Der SLAT-Schutz wird in einem hinreichenden Abstand zum Chassis angebracht, so dass die Panzerabwehrgranate nicht auslösen kann. Aus der unveröffentlichten DE 10 2007 002 577.9 ist ein sogennanter SLAT-Schutz bekannt, welcher faltartig zusammengeschoben werden kann, damit eine Besatzung des Fahrzeuges trotz des Schutzes durch den Heckeinstieg ungehindert ein- und aussteigen kann.The SLAT protection is placed at a sufficient distance from the chassis so that the anti-tank grenade can not fire. From the unpublished DE 10 2007 002 577.9 is a so-called SLAT protection known, which can be folded together like a fold, so that a crew of the vehicle, despite the protection by the rear entry unhindered and can get off.

Bekannte SLAT-Adaptionen sind möglichst rundherum um das Fahrzeug und mit möglichst geringer Deckungshöhe (Abstand Boden zur Unterkante SLAT) ausgeführt. Diese Anordnung hat aber zur Folge, dass insbesondere im Front- und im Heckbereich des Fahrzeugs bei Geländefahrten es zu Beschädigungen des SLAT-Schutzes kommen kann, da der Böschungswinkel erheblich eingeschränkt ist.Known SLAT adaptations are made as far as possible around the vehicle and with the lowest possible cover height (distance between floor and lower edge SLAT). However, this arrangement has the consequence that, especially in the front and in the rear of the vehicle in off-road driving it can cause damage to the SLAT protection, since the slope angle is considerably limited.

Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, diesen Nachteil zu beheben.The invention has as its object to remedy this disadvantage.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims.

Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, eine bewegliche und zusätzlich auch abnehmbare Ausführung eines SLAT-Schutzes für Bereiche des Fahrzeuges vorzusehen, welche insbesondere bei Geländefahrten nicht beschädigt werden sollen. Diese Bereiche sind insbesondere der Front- und der Heckbereich des Fahrzeuges.The invention is based on the idea to provide a movable and additionally removable design of a SLAT protection for areas of the vehicle, which should not be damaged, especially in off-road driving. These areas are in particular the front and the rear of the vehicle.

Die SLAT-Elemente werden mit beweglichen Verbindungselementen, vornehmlich Stahlfederelemente, miteinander verbunden, so dass die SLAT-Elemente bzw. Teile des SLAT-Schutzes bei Berührung mit dem Boden ausweichen können. Die Ausführung der Verbindungselemente und in Kombination mit den Massenträgheiten der SLAT-Gitter ermöglichen eine Schutz gegen die anfliegenden Panzerabwehrgranaten.The SLAT elements are connected to one another by means of movable connecting elements, mainly steel spring elements, so that the SLAT elements or parts of the SLAT protection can deflect on contact with the ground. The design of the fasteners and in combination with the mass inertia of the SLAT lattices allow protection against the approaching anti-tank grenades.

Die beweglichen Verbindungselemente können aus Stahlfeder bzw. Stahlfederspiralen bestehen. Alternativ sind Ausführungen aus Gummielementen, aus Kettenelementen, aus Scharnieren möglich. Durch Variation der Ausführung und Anzahl der Verbindungselemente kann zudem die Beweglichkeit bzw. Steifigkeit des SLAT-Schutzes eingestellt werden kann.The movable connecting elements may consist of steel spring or Stahlfederspiralen. Alternatively, versions made of rubber elements, chain elements, hinges are possible. By varying the design and number of fasteners also the mobility or rigidity of the SLAT protection can be adjusted.

Die abnehmbare Version des SLAT-Schutzes ermöglicht die Nutzung von Abschleppeinrichtungen, die bei Bedarf eingesetzt werden.The removable version of the SLAT protection allows the use of towing devices that are used when needed.

Anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Zeichnungen soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1 zeigt einen beweglichen und zusätzlich auch abnehmbaren SLAT-Schutz 2. Dieser kann mittels Verbindungselemente oder einer geeigneten Halterung 1b beispielsweise an einem Fahrzeug 1 (Fig. 2) befestigt werden. Fig. 1 shows a movable and additionally removable SLAT protection 2. This can by means of fasteners or a suitable holder 1b, for example, on a vehicle 1 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) are attached.

Der SLAT- Schutz 2 besteht aus SLAT-Elemente 2a, 2b, 2c, die mit- bzw. untereinander durch bewegliche Verbindungselemente 3 verbunden sind. Die oberen SLAT-Elemente 2a sind relativ steif gehalten, während die SLAT-Elemente 2b, 2c zu den SLAT-Elementen 2a relativ beweglich sind. Der untere Teil 2b, 2c des SLAT-Schutzes 2 kann durch das Entfernen weiterer Verbindungselemente 4, z.B. Stecker oder Verschraubung, vom SLAT 2a getrennt und ggf. seitlich am Fahrzeug 1 angehängt werden. Durch diese Maßnahme werden Fahrzeugbereiche, wie z.B. die Abschleppkupplung, zugänglich und nutzbar.The SLAT protection 2 consists of SLAT elements 2 a, 2 b, 2 c, which are connected to one another or to one another by means of movable connecting elements 3. The upper SLAT elements 2a are held relatively stiff, while the SLAT elements 2b, 2c are relatively movable to the SLAT elements 2a. The lower part 2b, 2c of the SLAT guard 2 can be removed by removing further connecting elements 4, e.g. Plug or screw, separated from the SLAT 2a and possibly laterally attached to the vehicle 1. By this measure, vehicle areas, such as e.g. the towing hitch, accessible and usable.

In Fig. 2 ist der SLAT-Schutz 2 an einem Fahrzeug 1 dargestellt. Der SLAT-Schutz 2 wird mittels der geeigneten Halterungen 1b an Fahrzeugstruktur 1a befestigt, so dass dieser die Belastungen aus dem Fahrbetrieb aufnimmt. Das obere SLAT-Element 2a ist fest mit der Fahrzeugstruktur 1 b verbunden. Die einzelnen SLAT-Elemente 2b sind untereinander mittels beweglicher Verbindungselemente 3 verbunden.In Fig. 2 SLAT protection 2 is shown on a vehicle 1. The SLAT protection 2 is fastened to the vehicle structure 1a by means of the suitable brackets 1b, so that it absorbs the loads from the driving operation. The upper SLAT element 2a is firmly connected to the vehicle structure 1b. The individual SLAT elements 2b are interconnected by means of movable connecting elements 3.

Fig. 3 zeigt den beweglichen SLAT-Schutz 2 beim Anfahren an ein Hindernis 5, wie Unebenheit oder Böschung. Fährt das Fahrzeug 1 gegen ein derartiges Hindernis 5 können die SLAT-Elemente 2b des SLAT-Schutzes 2 aufgrund seiner beweglichen Verbindungselemente 3 dem Hindernis 5 recht gut ausweichen. Fährt das Fahrzeug 1 von dem Hindernis 5 wieder herunter, können die SLAT-Elemente 2b aufgrund der beweglichen Verbindungselemente 3 ebenfalls ausweichen (Fig. 4). Fig. 3 shows the movable SLAT protection 2 when approaching an obstacle 5, such as unevenness or embankment. If the vehicle 1 drives against such an obstacle 5, the SLAT elements 2b of the SLAT protection 2 can dodge the obstacle 5 quite well on account of its movable connecting elements 3. If the vehicle 1 moves down again from the obstacle 5, the SLAT elements 2b can also escape due to the movable connecting elements 3 (FIG. Fig. 4 ).
