Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mit einem Minenräumgerät verbindbare Adaptervorrichtung zur Umrüstung eines bugseitig mit einer Räumschaufelanlage versehbaren Trägerfahrzeuges in ein Minenräumfahrzeug, wobei an dem bugseitigen Ende des Trägerfahrzeuges mindestens ein Hydraulikzylinder zum Auf- und Abschwenken der Räumschaufelanlage angeordnet ist. Eine derartige adapter vorrichtung ist aus der US 4 909 330 , die einen ausgangspunkt für den Anspruch 1 bildet, bekannt.The invention relates to a connectable with a mine clearance device adapter device for retrofitting a bugseitig with a Räumschaufelanlage providable carrier vehicle in a mine clearance vehicle, wherein at the bow-side end of the carrier vehicle at least one hydraulic cylinder for pivoting up and down the Räumschaufelanlage is arranged. Such an adapter device is from the US 4,909,330 , which forms a starting point for the claim 1, known.

Weiterhin ist eine derartige Adaptervorrichtung, insbesondere zur schnellen Umrüstung von Berge- oder Pionierpanzern in Minenräumpanzer, beispielsweise aus der DE 80 19 924 U1 bekannt. Dabei wird in dieser Druckschrift vorgeschlagen, die Räumschaufelanlage an dem entsprechenden Panzerfahrzeug zu belassen und die Adaptervorrichtung für das Minenräumgerät mittels entsprechender Anschlußelemente an der Räumschaufel zu befestigen.Furthermore, such an adapter device, in particular for the rapid conversion of mountain or Pionierpanzern in mine debris, for example from the DE 80 19 924 U1 known. It is proposed in this document to leave the Räumschaufelanlage to the corresponding armored vehicle and to secure the adapter device for the mine clearance by means of appropriate connection elements on the Räumschaufel.

Nachteilig bei der Verwendung einer derartigen Adaptervorrichtung ist allerdings, dass das nach der Umrüstung sich ergebende Minenräumfahrzeug ein außerordentlich hohes Gewicht besitzt, da zu dem Gewicht der Räumschaufelanlage noch das Gewicht des Minenräumgerätes sowie der gegebenenfalls ebenfalls erforderlichen Zusatzpanzerungen hinzukommt. Außerdem ist das Minenräumgerät in diesem Fall relativ weit von dem bugseitigen Ende des Trägerfahrzeuges entfernt angeordnet, was die Gesamtschwerpunktlage des Minenräumfahrzeuges bei angehobenem Minenräumgerät und damit die Lenkfähigkeit des Trägerfahrzeuges wesentlich verschlechtert.A disadvantage of the use of such an adapter device, however, is that after retrofitting resulting mine clearance vehicle has an extremely high weight, as added to the weight of Räumschaufelanlage nor the weight of mine clearance equipment and possibly also required additional armor. In addition, the demining device is located in this case relatively far away from the bow-side end of the carrier vehicle, which significantly deteriorates the overall center of gravity of mine clearance vehicle with raised mine clearance and thus the steering ability of the host vehicle.

Es ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, zur Umrüstung von Panzern mit Räumschaufelanlagen die gesamte Räumschaufelanlage zu demontieren und durch einen Minenräumpflug mit eigenen hydraulischen Einrichtungen zu ersetzen. Eine derartige Umrüstung ist allerdings außerordentlich zeit- und kostenaufwendig.It has already been proposed to dismantle the entire Räumschaufelanlage for retrofitting of tanks with Räumschaufelanlagen and replace it with a mine-plowing with their own hydraulic equipment. However, such a conversion is extremely time consuming and expensive.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Adaptervorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, welche auf einfache Weise in unmittelbarer Nähe des bugseitigen Endes des Trägerfahrzeuges mit diesem verbindbar ist so dass sich eine günstige Gesamtschwerpunktlage bei angehobenem Minenräumgerät ergibt.The invention has for its object to provide an adapter device of the type mentioned above, which is connected in a simple manner in the immediate vicinity of the bow-side end of the carrier vehicle with this so that there is a favorable overall center of gravity with raised mine clearance.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, dass zur Umrüstung des mit einer Räumschaufelanlage versehenen Trägerfahrzeuges in ein Minenräumfahrzeug zwar das Räumschild und die Räumschaufelarme von dem Trägerfahrzeug entfernt werden, nicht hingegen aber die für die Räumschaufelanlage benötigten Hydraulikzylinder. Vielmehr verbleiben diese an dem Trägerfahrzeug und dienen anschließend zur Halterung sowie zur Durchführung von Schwenkbewegungen der Adaptervorrichtung und damit auch des an der Adaptervorrichtung befestigten Minenräumgerätes.The invention is based essentially on the idea that for retrofitting the provided with a Räumschaufelanlage carrier vehicle in a mine clearance vehicle while the dozer blade and the Räumschaufelarme be removed from the carrier vehicle, but not the hydraulic rams required for the Räumschaufelanlage. Rather, these remain on the carrier vehicle and then serve for holding and for performing pivotal movements of the adapter device and thus also of the attached to the adapter device Mine clearing device.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Adaptervorrichtung daher auf ihrer dem Trägerfahrzeug abgewandten Seite ein sich senkrecht zur Längsachse des Trägerfahrzeuges erstreckendes erstes Verbindungselement auf, mit dem das dem Trägerfahrzeug abgewandte vordere Ende des Hydraulikzylinders schwenkbar verbindbar ist. Auf ihrer dem Trägerfahrzeug zugewandten Seite ist an der Adaptervorrichtung mindestens ein beispielsweise als Steck- oder Gabelschuh ausgebildetes zweites Verbindungselement angeordnet, das von vorne nach hinten in Richtung auf ein an dem Trägerfahrzeug angeordnetes Gegenlager einschiebbar ausgebildet ist, und das sich bei eingefahrenem Hydraulikzylinder an dem Gegenlager abstützt.According to the invention, the adapter device therefore on its side facing away from the carrier vehicle on a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the carrier vehicle extending first connecting element with which the carrier vehicle remote from the front end of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally connected. On its side facing the carrier vehicle, at least one second connecting element designed, for example, as a plug or fork shoe is arranged on the adapter device, which can be pushed in from the front to the rear in the direction of an abutment arranged on the carrier vehicle, and this is at the counter bearing when the hydraulic cylinder is retracted supported.

Zur Vergrößerung des Böschungswinkels des Minenräumgerätes in Bezug auf das Trägerfahrzeug ist die Adaptervorrichtung mit mindestens einer sich in Längsrichtung des Trägerfahrzeuges erstreckenden Kulissenführung verbunden, in welche eine mit dem Trägerfahrzeug verbindbare Kulisse eingreift, so dass beim Herausschieben des Hydraulikzylinders die Adaptervorrichtung von dem Gegenlager entfernt und von der Kulissenführung gehalten wird. Bei diesem Vorgang bewegt sich die Adaptervorrichtung einschließlich des an ihr befestigten Minenräumgerätes nach oben und kippt leicht nach hinten, so dass ein ausreichender Böschungswinkel zum Überwinden von Hindernissen erreicht wird.To increase the slope angle of mine clearance device in relation to the carrier vehicle, the adapter device is connected to at least one extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier vehicle slotted guide, in which engages a connectable to the carrier vehicle link, so that when pushing out the hydraulic cylinder, the adapter device of the counter bearing and removed the slide guide is held. In this process, the adapter device moves including the demining device attached to it upwards and tilts slightly backwards, so that a sufficient slope angle is achieved to overcome obstacles.

Außerdem ist die erfindungsgemäße Adaptervorrichtung vorzugsweise mit einem Notlösesystem ausgestattet, welches der Besatzung des Trägerfahrzeuges erlaubt, das gegebenenfalls beschädigte Minenräumgerät unter Schutz abzuwerfen und rückwärts in der geräumten und markierten Gasse das Minenfeld wieder zu verlassen. Das Notlösesystem wird vorzugsweise von der Besatzung hydraulisch aus dem Trägerfahrzeug heraus betätigt. Bei diesem Vorgang wird das erste Verbindungselement von dem Hydraulikzylinder und die Kulissenführung von der Kulisse getrennt, so dass beim Rückwärtsfahren die erfindungsgemäße Adaptervorrichtung mit dem Minenräumgerät aus dem Gegenlager herausgezogen wird.In addition, the adapter device according to the invention is preferably equipped with an emergency release system, which allows the crew of the carrier vehicle to throw off the possibly damaged mine clearance under protection and to leave the minefield backwards in the cleared and marked lane. The emergency release system is preferably actuated hydraulically by the crew from the carrier vehicle. In this process, the first connecting element of the hydraulic cylinder and the slotted guide is separated from the scenery, so that when reversing the adapter device according to the invention with the mine clearing device is pulled out of the counter bearing.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich ferner erwiesen, wenn die Adaptervorrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie beispielsweise bei einer Minendetonation auch als Splitter- und Steinschlagschutz für die am Trägerfahrzeug angeordneten Hydraulikzylinder und Versorgungsleitungen dient.It has also proven to be advantageous if the adapter device is designed such that it serves, for example, in a mine detonation as splintering and rockfall protection for arranged on the carrier vehicle hydraulic cylinder and supply lines.

In Fig. 1 ist zum allgemeinen Verständnis der Erfindung ein Trägerfahrzeug 100 mit einem bugseitigen Ende 101 dargestellt, wie es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist. Am Trägerfahrzeug befestigt ist hierbei ein Minenräumgerät 103. Eine Anbindung einer Räumschaufel an ein Trägerfahrzeug kann auch der Fig. 1 aus DE 103 04 293 A1 entnommen werden.In Fig. 1 For purposes of general understanding of the invention, a carrier vehicle 100 having a bow-side end 101 is illustrated, as known in the art. Attached to the carrier vehicle here is a mine clearance device 103. A connection of a Räumschaufel to a carrier vehicle can also Fig. 1 out DE 103 04 293 A1 be removed.

In den Fig. 2 bis 5 ist mit 1 das bugseitige Ende eines Trägerfahrzeuges, z.B. eines Bergepanzers, bezeichnet, mit dem vorderseitig nunmehr eine rahmenförmige Adaptervorrichtung 2 verbunden ist. An der Adaptervorrichtung 2 ist unterseitig ein an sich bekanntes Minenräumgerät 3 befestigt, das eine entsprechende Schnittstellenplatte (nicht dargestellt) umfasst, die einerseits die mechanische Anbindung zur Adaptervorrichtung 2 herstellt und andererseits hydraulische und elektrische Schnittstellen zu einem Minenräumpflug 30 und gegebenenfalls auch zu einem elektromagnetischen Räumsystem (nicht dargestellt) bereitstellt.In the Fig. 2 to 5 1 is the bow-side end of a carrier vehicle, for example a recovery armor, referred to, with the front side now a frame-shaped adapter device 2 is connected. On the adapter device 2, a known mine clearing device 3 is attached to the underside, which comprises a corresponding interface plate (not shown), which on the one hand produces the mechanical connection to the adapter device 2 and on the other hand hydraulic and electrical interfaces to a Mine plow 30 and possibly also to an electromagnetic Räumsystem (not shown).

An dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 sind vorderseitig zwei Hydraulikzylinder 4 in entsprechenden Lagerkonsolen 5 schwenkbar befestigt, die üblicherweise zum Auf- und Abschwenken einer bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel demontierten Räumschaufelanlage dienen. Die Hydraulikzylinder 4 sind mit ihrem ösenförmigen vorderen Ende 6 jeweils auf der dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 abgewandten Seite der Adaptervorrichtung 2 mit einem als Lagerbolzen ausgebildeten ersten Verbindungselement 7 der Adaptervorrichtung 2 schwenkbar verbunden. Dabei sind die beiden Lagerbolzen 7 mittels entsprechender erster Notlöseeinrichtungen 8 in Richtung ihrer Längsachsen 9 hydraulisch verschiebbar ausgebildet, so dass die Hydraulikzylinder 4 gegebenenfalls von dem Inneren des Trägerfahrzeuges 1 aus von der Adaptervorrichtung 2 getrennt werden können.On the carrier vehicle 1, two hydraulic cylinders 4 are pivotally mounted on the front side in corresponding bearing brackets 5, which are usually used for pivoting up and down a bucket wheel disassembled in the illustrated embodiment. The hydraulic cylinders 4 are pivotally connected with their eye-shaped front end 6 respectively on the side facing away from the carrier vehicle 1 side of the adapter device 2 with a formed as a bearing pin first connecting element 7 of the adapter device 2. In this case, the two bearing pins 7 are designed to be hydraulically displaceable by means of corresponding first emergency release devices 8 in the direction of their longitudinal axes 9, so that the hydraulic cylinders 4 can optionally be separated from the interior of the carrier vehicle 1 from the adapter device 2.

Die Adaptervorrichtung 2 ist in der in den Fig.2 und 3 dargestellten Einsatzposition des Minenräumgerätes 3, bei welcher die beiden Hydraulikzylinder 4 eingefahren sind, auf ihrer dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 zugewandten Seite mit zwei als Steckschuhen ausgebildeten zweiten Verbindungselementen 10 verbunden, die sich an entsprechenden im unteren Bereich des Trägerfahrzeuges 1 angeordneten Gegenlagern 11 abstützen.The adapter device 2 is in the in the Fig.2 and 3 shown insert position of the mine clearing device 3, in which the two hydraulic cylinders 4 are retracted, on its side facing the carrier vehicle 1 with two trained as a pair of shoes connecting elements 10, which are supported on corresponding arranged in the lower region of the carrier vehicle 1 abutments 11.

Diese Gegenlager 11 werden jeweils durch einen an einer vorhandenen Räumschaufelarmlagerung 12 des Trägerfahrzeuges 1 angeordneten Lagerbolzen 110 und einer an dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 gegenüber dem Lagerbolzen 110 angeordneten Führungsbahn 17 gebildet.These abutments 11 are each formed by a arranged on an existing Räumschaufelarmlagerung 12 of the carrier vehicle 1 bearing pin 110 and arranged on the carrier vehicle 1 relative to the bearing pin 110 guide track 17.

Außerdem sind an dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 zwei Halterungen 13 befestigt, die jeweils mit einer der Adaptervorrichtung 2 zugeordneten Kulisse 14 verbunden sind. Wie nachfolgend noch erläutert wird, wirkt die Kulisse 14 mit einer an der Adaptervorrichtung 2 befestigten Kulissenführung 15 zusammen. Kulisse 14 und Kulissenführung 15 sind jeweils mittels einer zweiten Notlöseeinrichtung 16 voneinander trennbar.In addition, two brackets 13 are attached to the carrier vehicle 1, which are each connected to one of the adapter device 2 associated gate 14. As will be explained below, the link 14 cooperates with a slide guide 15 fastened to the adapter device 2. Gate 14 and slide guide 15 are each separated by means of a second emergency release device 16 from each other.

Die Fig.4 und 5 zeigen die Position des Adapters 2, bei der die beiden Hydraulikzylinder 4 zur Vergrößerung des Böschungswinkels ausgefahren sind. Durch das Ausfahren der Hydraulikzylinder 4 gleiten die Steckschuhe 10 aus dem durch den Lagerbolzen 110 und der Führungsbahn 17 gebildeten Gegenlager 11, wobei sich die Steckschuhe 10 an den Führungsbahnen 17 abstützen. Die Kulissen 14 führen die Adaptervorrichtung 2 nun derart in der Kulissenführung 15, dass die Adaptervorrichtung 2 inklusiv Minenräumgerät 3 nicht nach vorne herunterklappen kann, sondern nach oben angehoben und leicht nach hinten kippt, so dass ein ausreichender Böschungswinkel zum Überwinden von Hindernissen erreicht wird.The Figure 4 and 5 show the position of the adapter 2, in which the two hydraulic cylinders 4 are extended to increase the slope angle. By the extension of the hydraulic cylinder 4, the plug-in shoes 10 slide out of the abutment 11 formed by the bearing pin 110 and the guide track 17, wherein the plug-in shoes 10 are supported on the guide tracks 17. The scenes 14 lead the adapter device 2 now in the slide guide 15 that the adapter device 2 including mine clearance device 3 can not fold down forward, but lifted up and slightly tilts backwards, so that a sufficient slope angle is achieved to overcome obstacles.

Soll ein beschädigtes Minenräumgerät 3 unter Schutz abgeworfen werden, so betätigt die im Inneren des Trägerfahrzeuges 1 befindliche Besatzung ein die erste und zweite Notlöseeinrichtung 8 und 16 umfassendes Notlösesystem. Bei diesem Vorgang werden einerseits mittels der ersten Notlöseeinrichtung 8 die Lagerbolzen 7 aus den vorderen Enden 6 der Hydraulikzylinder 4 herausgezogen und andererseits mittels der zweiten Notlöseeinrichtung 16 die Kulissen 14 von den Kulissenführungen 15 getrennt.If a damaged mine clearance unit 3 is to be dropped under protection, then the crew located inside the carrier vehicle 1 actuates an emergency release system comprising the first and second emergency release devices 8 and 16. In this process, on the one hand by means of the first emergency release 8, the bearing pin 7 pulled out of the front ends 6 of the hydraulic cylinder 4 and on the other hand by means of the second emergency release 16, the scenes 14 are separated from the slotted guides 15.

Gegebenenfalls vorhandene elektrische und hydraulische Verbindungen zwischen dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 und der Adaptervorrichtung 2 sowie dem Minenräumgerät 3 werden bei Aktivierung des Notlösesystems ebenfalls zerstörungsfrei mittels Schnelltrennkupplungen (nicht dargestellt) getrennt. Das beschädigte Minenräumgerät kann nunmehr Rückwärts fahren. Beim Rückwärtsfahren des Trägerfahrzeuges rutscht dann die Adaptervorrichtung 2 zusammen mit dem Minenräumgerät 3 aus dem Gegenlager 11. Die elektrischen und hydraulischen Kupplungen werden getrennt.Optionally existing electrical and hydraulic connections between the carrier vehicle 1 and the adapter device 2 and the mine clearance device 3 are also non-destructively separated by means of quick release couplings (not shown) upon activation of the emergency release system. The damaged mine clearance unit can now drive backwards. When reversing the carrier vehicle then slides the adapter device 2 together with the mine clearance unit 3 from the anvil 11. The electrical and hydraulic couplings are disconnected.

Damit die Hydraulikzylinder 4 beim Abkoppeln der Adaptervorrichtung 2 von dem Trägerfahrzeug 1 nicht auf den Erdboden herunterfallen können, sind sie mittels nicht dargestellter Ketten oder Gurtzüge gesichert.Thus, the hydraulic cylinder 4 when disconnecting the adapter device 2 from the carrier vehicle 1 can not fall to the ground, they are secured by means not shown chains or belt tension.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So können beispielsweise die zweiten Verbindungselemente, mittels welcher die Adaptervorrichtung an dem Trägerfahrzeug befestigbar ist, statt als Steckschuhe auch als Gabelschuhe ausgebildet sein. Ferner müssen die Gegenlager zur Aufnahme der zweiten Verbindungselemente nicht zwingend Lagerbolzen umfassen, sondern es können auch andere gleichwertige Aufnahmeeinrichtungen verwendet werden, die beispielsweise anstatt an der Räumschaufelarmlagerung direkt an dem Trägerfahrzeug befestigbar sind.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Thus, for example, the second connecting elements, by means of which the adapter device can be fastened to the carrier vehicle, instead of being plug-in shoes, can also be designed as fork shoes. Furthermore, the abutment for receiving the second fasteners do not necessarily have to include bearing pin, but it can also be used other equivalent recording devices that can be fastened for example instead of the Räumschaufelarmlagerung directly to the carrier vehicle.

Bei dem ersten Verbindungselement kann es sich statt eines Lagerbolzens auch um eine Welle handeln, auf welcher das jeweilige Ende der Hydraulikzylinder schwenkbar gelagert ist.In the first connecting element may be instead of a bearing pin and a shaft on which the respective end of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally mounted.

Ferner können die Kulissen auch als Halterungen mit Gelenken ausgeführt werden.Furthermore, the scenes can also be designed as brackets with joints.
