Eine Sondenhalterung für ein derartiges ABC-Fahrzeug bzw. Objekt beschreibt die nicht vor veröffentlichte DE 10 2009 010 082 A . Eine fernsteuerbare Spürradabwurf- und -wechselvorrichtung sowie deren Verwendung an einem ABC-Fahrzeug ist der gleichfalls nicht vor veröffentlichten DE 10 2009 010 083 A entnehmbar.A probe holder for such an ABC vehicle or object does not describe the prior published DE 10 2009 010 082 A , A remote controllable Speurradabwurf- and -wechselvorrichtung and their use on an ABC vehicle is also not published before DE 10 2009 010 083 A removable.

Mit der US 4,865,061 A wird eine Vorrichtung zur Dekontaminierung von Einrichtungen mittels eines Hochdruckreinigers offenbart. Diese separate Vorrichtung umfasst unter anderem eine Pumpe, Dekontaminationsmittel und Behälter.With the US 4,865,061 A An apparatus for decontaminating equipment by means of a high-pressure cleaner is disclosed. This separate device includes, but is not limited to, a pump, decontaminant and container.

Die DE 39 40 543 A betrifft ebenfalls einen Hochdruckreiniger, bestehend aus Pumpe und Antriebsmotor, der mit einem Schlauchwagen kombiniert ist.The DE 39 40 543 A also relates to a high-pressure cleaner, consisting of pump and drive motor, which is combined with a hose cart.

Bei Fahrzeugen, insbesondere bei gepanzerten Aufklärungsfahrzeugen, die mit diversen Einrichtungen, wie Manipulatoren, an denen Werkzeuge befestigt sind, im Freien arbeiten, besteht die Gefahr, dass die Werkzeuge beispielsweise bei Probenentnahmen des Erdbodens etwa durch radioaktive, biologische und/oder chemische Kampfstoffe kontaminiert werden. Da ein sofortiges Auswechseln der Werkzeuge in der Regel nicht möglich ist, müssen sie noch während des Einsatzfalles dekontaminiert werden, um sie für weitere Probenentnahmen verwenden zu können.In vehicles, in particular in armored reconnaissance vehicles, which operate with various facilities, such as manipulators, on which tools are attached, outdoors, there is a risk that the tools are contaminated, for example, during sampling of the soil by radioactive, biological and / or chemical warfare agents , Since an immediate replacement of the tools is usually not possible, they still need to be decontaminated during use in order to use them for further sampling can.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu offenbaren, mittels der auf einfache Welse an einem Fahrzeug außenseitig angeordnete Einrichtungen - auch im Einsatzfalle des Fahrzeuges - dekontaminiert werden können.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to disclose a device of the type mentioned above, by means of the simple catfish on a vehicle outside arranged facilities - even in the case of the vehicle - can be decontaminated.

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, zur Dekontamination der außenseitig an einem Fahrzeug angeordneten Einrichtungen eine Impulsrelnlgungsanlage zu verwenden, die einen vorzugsweise Innerhalb des Fahrzeuges mit einem Dekontaminationsmittel befüllbaren Flossigkehsbehälter sowie eine mit dem Flüssigkeitabehälter verbundene und mittels einer Steuereinrichtung steuerbare Druckpumpe umfasst. Dabei ist die Druckpumpe ausgangsseitig über eine Leitung mit mindestens einer Ventilanordnung verbunden. Diese Ventilanordnung umfasst ein bei einem vorgebbaren Druck sich automatisch öffnendes Druckventil und mindestens einen mit dem Druckventil verbundenen Düsenkörper, der bei Erreichen des Öffnungsdruckes des Druckventils Dekontaminationsmittel impulsartig in Richtung auf die zu dekontaminierende Einrichtung versprüht.The invention is essentially based on the idea of using an impulse separation system for decontamination of the equipment arranged on the outside of a vehicle, which comprises a float container which can preferably be filled with a decontamination agent inside the vehicle and a pressure pump connected to the liquid container and controllable by means of a control device. The pressure pump is connected on the output side via a line with at least one valve arrangement. This valve assembly comprises a pressure valve automatically opening at a predeterminable pressure and at least one nozzle body connected to the pressure valve, which, when the opening pressure of the pressure valve reaches the decontamination means, sprays impulsively toward the device to be decontaminated.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist den Vortell auf, dass das Dekontaminationsmittel bei Verwendung eines entsprechend hohen Druckes fein verstäubt auf die zu dekontaminierende Einrichtung aufgetragen werden kann, sodass das Dekontaminationsmittel an alle Stellen der Einrichtung gelangt.The device according to the invention has the advantage that the decontamination agent can be finely dusted when using a correspondingly high pressure applied to the device to be decontaminated so that the decontamination agent reaches all points of the device.

Der Sprühvorgang kann aus mehreren impulsen von einstellbarer Dauer sowle in wählbaren Intervallen erfolgen, wobei dieser Vorgang manuell oder programmgesteuert mit Hilfe der Steuereinrichtung durchgeführt wird.The spraying process can be carried out from a plurality of pulses of adjustable duration as well as at selectable intervals, this process being carried out manually or under program control with the aid of the control device.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Ventllanordnung auf der Außenseite des Fahrzeuges befestigt, und die zu dekontaminierende Einrichtung ist derart beweglich an dem Fahrzeug angeordnet, dass sie zur Dekontaminierung In den Sprühbereich des Düsenkörpers der Ventilanordnung bewegbar und in dieser Position fixierbar ist. Vorzugsweise kann die Ventilanordnung ein verschließbares Gehäuse umfassen, innerhalb dessen sich das Druckventil befindet, wobei der Düsenkörper über einen axial verschiebbaren Düsenträger mit dem Druckventil verbunden ist, derart, dass der Düsenkörper von einer Ruheposition, bei der er sich innerhalb des zunächst vorderseitlg verschlossenen Gehäuses befindet, in eine Arbeitsposition, bei welcher er außenseitig aus dem Gehäuse herausragt, betätigbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Ventllanordnung is mounted on the outside of the vehicle, and the device to be decontaminated is arranged so movable on the vehicle that it is movable for decontamination in the spray region of the nozzle body of the valve assembly and fixable in this position. Preferably, the valve arrangement may comprise a closable housing, within which the pressure valve is located, wherein the nozzle body is connected via an axially displaceable nozzle carrier with the pressure valve, such that the nozzle body from a rest position, in which it is located within the first Vorderseitlg closed housing , in a working position in which it protrudes on the outside of the housing, can be actuated.

Die Verschiebung des Düsenkörpers von seiner Ruheposition in seine Arbeitsposition kann beispielsweise automatisch während des Druckaufbaues an dem Druckventil erfolgen.The displacement of the nozzle body from its rest position to its working position, for example, can be done automatically during the pressure build-up at the pressure valve.

Zur Überwachung des Dekontaminierungsvorganges kann an der Außenseite des Fahrzeuges eine Kamera oder ein Sichtblock angeordnet sein.To monitor the decontamination process, a camera or a viewing block can be arranged on the outside of the vehicle.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus dem folgenden, anhand einer Figur erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following, explained with reference to a figure embodiment.

In der Figur ist eine mit 1 bezeichnete heckseitige Wand eines gepanzerten Fahrzeuges zur Kampfstoffdetektion dargestellt, wobei das Fahrzeug über einen nur schematisch angedeuteten Manipulator 2 zur Entnahme von Bodenproben verfügt. Zur Dekontamination des Greifers 3 des Manipulators 2 kann dieser nach der jeweiligen Entnahme einer Bodenprobe mittels einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 4 dekontaminiert werden.In the figure, a designated rear wall 1 of an armored vehicle for combat detection is shown, wherein the vehicle has a only schematically indicated manipulator 2 for taking soil samples. For decontamination of the gripper 3 of the manipulator 2, this can be decontaminated after the respective removal of a soil sample by means of a device 4 according to the invention.

Die Vorrichtung 4 umfasst einen vorzugsweise Im Innenraum 5 des Fahrzeuges mit einem Dekontaminationsmittel 6 befüllten Flüssigkeitsbehältar 7 sowie eine mit dem Flüssigkeitsbehälter 7 verbundene und mittels einer Steuereinrichtung 8 steuerbare Druckpumpe 9. Diese ist ausgangsseitig über eine Leitung 10 mit einer außenseitig an der Wand 1 vorgesehenen Ventilanordnung 11 verbunden. Alternativ kann der Behälter 7 auch außen am Fahrzeug angebracht sein, wobei eine Möglichkeit vorzusehen ist, die eine Bedienung der Vorrichtung aus dem Fahrzeug heraus gewährleistet.The device 4 comprises a preferably in the interior 5 of the vehicle with a decontamination agent 6 filled Flüssigkeitsbehältar 7 and connected to the liquid container 7 and controllable by a control device 8 pressure pump 9. This is the output side via a line 10 with a valve assembly provided on the outside of the wall 1 11 connected. Alternatively, the container 7 may also be mounted on the outside of the vehicle, with a possibility being provided which ensures operation of the device out of the vehicle.

Die Ventilanordnung 11 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem mit der Wand 1 des Fahrzeuges befestigtes Gehäuse 12, innerhalb dessen sich ein Druckventil 13 befindet. Dieses Druckventil 13 ist über einen axial verschiebbaren Düsenträger 14 mit einem Düsenkörper 15 verbunden, sodass der Düsenkörper 15 von einer Ruheposition, bei der er sich innerhalb des vorderseitig verschließbaren Gehäuses 12 befindet, in eine in der Figur dargestellte Arbeitsposition, bei welcher er außenseltlg aus dem Gehäuse 12 herausragt, betätigbar ist.The valve arrangement 11 consists essentially of a housing 12 fastened to the wall 1 of the vehicle, within which there is a pressure valve 13. This pressure valve 13 is connected via an axially displaceable nozzle carrier 14 with a nozzle body 15, so that the nozzle body 15 from a rest position, in which it is located within the front side closable housing 12, in a work position shown in the figure, in which he outside of the Housing 12 protrudes, can be actuated.

Zur Überwachung des Dekontaminierungsvorganges ist an der Außenseite der Wand 1 des Fahrzeuges eine Kamera 16 angeordnet.To monitor the decontamination process, a camera 16 is arranged on the outside of the wall 1 of the vehicle.

Soll nun nach Entnahme einer Bodenprobe eine Dekontamination des Greifers 3 des Manipulators 2 erfolgen, so wird zunächst der Greifer 3 in den Sprühbereich 17 des Düsenkörpers 15 der Ventilanordnung 11 geschwenkt und in dieser Position fixiert.If a decontamination of the gripper 3 of the manipulator 2 now takes place after removal of a soil sample, the gripper 3 is first pivoted into the spray area 17 of the nozzle body 15 of the valve arrangement 11 and fixed in this position.

Anschließend aktiviert die Steuerelnrichtung 8 die Druckpumpe 9, sodass das Dekontaminationsmittet 6 durch die Leitung 10 zu dem Druckventil 13 gelangt, welches zunächst noch geschlossen bleibt. Der Druckaufbau an dem Druckventil 13 bewirkt eine Verschiebung des Düsenträgers 14 (beispielsweise durch einen in dem Druckventil 13 angeordneten Kolben) und damit auch eine Verschiebung des Düsenkörpers 15 von seiner Ruheposition in seine in der Figur dargestellte Arbeitsposition.Subsequently, the control direction 8 activates the pressure pump 9, so that the decontamination agent 6 passes through the line 10 to the pressure valve 13, which initially remains closed. The pressure buildup on the pressure valve 13 causes a displacement of the nozzle carrier 14 (for example, by a piston arranged in the pressure valve 13) and thus also a displacement of the nozzle body 15 from its rest position to its working position shown in the figure.

Sobald sich der Düsenkörper 15 in seiner Arbeitsposition befindet und ein vorgegebener Druck erreicht ist, öffnet sich das Druckventil 13 und das Dekontaminationsmittel wird impulsartig in Richtung auf den zu dekontaminierenden Greifer 3 versprüht.Once the nozzle body 15 is in its working position and a predetermined pressure is reached, the pressure valve 13 opens and the decontamination agent is pulsed in the direction of the gripper to be decontaminated 3.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So können mit der Druckpumpe beispielsweise auch mehrere Ventilanordnungen verbunden sein oder die jeweilige Ventilanordnung kann mehrere Düsenkörper umfassen.The invention is of course not limited to the illustrated embodiment. For example, a plurality of valve arrangements may also be connected to the pressure pump or the respective valve arrangement may comprise a plurality of nozzle bodies.

Außerdem kann die Ventilanordnung statt an der Außenseite der Wand 1 des Fahrzeuges auch an dem Manipulatoram befestigt sein, sodass zur Dekontamination des Greifers oder eines anderen Werkzeuges der Manipulator nicht zwingend eine vorgegebene feste Position einnehmen muss.In addition, the valve assembly may be attached to the Manipulatoram instead of on the outside of the wall 1 of the vehicle, so that the decontamination of the gripper or other tool, the manipulator does not necessarily have to assume a predetermined fixed position.
