Description

PORTE BLINDEE POUR UN HABITACLE BLINTED DOOR FOR A COCKPIT
Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des portes ou ouvrants blindés et en particulier des portes blindées permettant d'obturer une ouverture d'un habitacle, par exemple d'un véhicule (ou d'un abri fixe) .The technical field of the invention is that of doors or armored doors and in particular armored doors for closing an opening of a passenger compartment, for example a vehicle (or a fixed shelter).
Il est connu de réaliser des portes blindées associant au moins une plaque de blindage et une structure porteuse comportant charnières et serrure . Cependant, malgré les surprotections, les portes blindées forment une discontinuité sur une paroi blindée d'un habitacle et elles constituent toujours une zone au niveau de laquelle la protection est affaiblie. En effet, lorsqu'un engin explosif improvisé est initié a proximité, la porte se déforme. Les charnières et dispositifs de fixation sont détruits. Une partie de la porte peut se trouver projetée à l'intérieur de l'habitacle tandis que l'effet rebond peut conduire à éjecter la porte vers l'extérieur après l ' explosion. L'invention a pour but de proposer une structure permettant de renforcer la résistance d'une porte ou d'un ouvrant et donc de diminuer les risques de projection de cet élément vers l'intérieur d'un habitacle.It is known to make armored doors associating at least one armor plate and a bearing structure comprising hinges and lock. However, despite the overprotection, the armored doors form a discontinuity on a shielded wall of a passenger compartment and they always constitute an area at which the protection is weakened. Indeed, when an improvised explosive device is initiated nearby, the door is deformed. Hinges and fasteners are destroyed. Part of the door may be projected inside the cabin while the rebound effect may cause the door to be ejected outward after the explosion. The invention aims to provide a structure to enhance the strength of a door or opening and thus reduce the risk of projection of this element to the interior of a passenger compartment.
Ainsi, l'invention a pour objet une porte blindée pour un habitacle d'un véhicule ou d'un abri fixe, porte destinée à obturer une ouverture de l'habitacle et comportant une structure à l'extérieur de laquelle est fixée au moins une plaque de blindage, porte caractérisée en ce que la plaque de blindage est fixée à distance de la structure et séparée de celle ci par des premiers moyens intermédiaires déformables pouvant absorber une partie de l'énergie d'un choc, la plaque de blindage ayant par ailleurs des dimensions supérieures à celle de la structure et des seconds moyens intermédiaires déformables étant interposés entre le rebord de la plaque de blindage et une paroi de l'habitacle entourant l'ouverture.Thus, the subject of the invention is an armored door for a passenger compartment of a vehicle or of a fixed shelter, a door intended to close off an opening of the passenger compartment and comprising a structure outside of which is fixed at least one armor plate, door characterized in that the armor plate is fixed at a distance from the structure and separated from the latter by first deformable intermediate means that can absorb a part of the energy of a shock, the armor plate having by moreover dimensions greater than that of the structure and the second intermediate means deformable being interposed between the edge of the armor plate and a wall of the passenger compartment surrounding the opening.
Les premiers moyens intermédiaires déformables sont de préférence disposés au niveau d'une zone périphérique de la structure de porte, un espace libre étant aménagé entre la plaque de blindage et a structure de façon à autoriser une déformation de la plaque sans impact sur la structure.The first deformable intermediate means are preferably arranged at a peripheral zone of the door structure, a free space being arranged between the armor plate and structured to allow deformation of the plate without impact on the structure.
Les seconds moyens intermédiaires déformables peuvent être solidaires de la plaque de blindage. Alternativement, les seconds moyens intermédiaires déformables peuvent être solidaires de la paroi de 1 ' habitacle .The second deformable intermediate means may be integral with the armor plate. Alternatively, the second deformable intermediate means may be integral with the wall of the passenger compartment.
Les premiers et seconds moyens intermédiaires déformables sont de préférence réalisés sous la forme de blocs de mousse métallique.The first and second deformable intermediate means are preferably made in the form of metal foam blocks.
La mousse métallique sera par exemple une mousse d' aluminium.The metal foam will for example be an aluminum foam.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode particulier de réalisation, description faite en référence aux dessins annexés et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a particular embodiment, a description given with reference to the appended drawings and in which:
- la figure 1 montre un véhicule blindé léger comportant une porte latérale blindée,FIG. 1 shows a light armored vehicle having an armored side door,
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe de la porte et des parois du véhicule, coupe réalisée suivant le plan dont la trace AA est repérée à la figure 1,FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the door and the walls of the vehicle, cut along the plane whose track AA is marked in FIG. 1;
- la figure 3 est une vue latérale de la porte permettant de visualiser la localisation des moyens intermédiaires d'amortissement, et - la figure 4 est une vue en coupe analogue à la figure 2 mais montrant un autre mode de réalisation.- Figure 3 is a side view of the door for viewing the location of the intermediate damping means, and - Figure 4 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2 but showing another embodiment.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 un véhicule 1 blindé léger qui comprend une cabine 2 fixée sur un châssis 3 portant des roues 4. L'intérieur de la cabine est accessible par une porte 5. La paroi externe de la cabine porte des surprotections réalisées sous la forme de plaques de blindage 6 qui sont fixées à la paroi de la cabine 2.FIG. 1 shows a light armored vehicle 1 comprising a cabin 2 fixed to a chassis 3 carrying wheels 4. The interior of the cabin is accessible by a door 5. The outer wall of the cabin carries overprotections made in the form of shielding plates 6 which are fixed to the wall of the cabin 2.
La porte 5 est également renforcée par une plaque de blindage 12.The door 5 is also reinforced by a shielding plate 12.
La figure 2 permet de préciser la structure de la porte selon l'invention et sa coopération avec la cabine 2.FIG. 2 makes it possible to specify the structure of the door according to the invention and its cooperation with the cabin 2.
La paroi 8 de la cabine est recouverte de plaques de blindages 6. Ces dernières sont fixées à la paroi à l'aide de vis (dont seul l'axe 11 est représenté) . La paroi comporte une ouverture 10 qui est obturée par la porte 5.The wall 8 of the cabin is covered with shielding plates 6. The latter are fixed to the wall by means of screws (of which only the axis 11 is shown). The wall has an opening 10 which is closed by the door 5.
La porte 5 comprend une structure 7 qui est montée de façon articulée sur une paroi 8 de la cabine 2. L'articulation 9 de la porte est représentée ici de façon schématique. Elle comprend plusieurs biellettes définies de façon à assurer le mouvement d'ouverture souhaité compte tenu des épaisseurs relatives de la porte 5 et de la paroi 8 portant les blindages 6.The door 5 comprises a structure 7 which is hingedly mounted on a wall 8 of the cabin 2. The hinge 9 of the door is shown schematically here. It comprises several rods defined so as to ensure the desired opening movement taking into account the relative thicknesses of the door 5 and the wall 8 carrying the shields 6.
Une plaque de blindage 12 est fixée à la structure 7 de la porte 5 par des vis (dont on n'a représenté que l'axe 13) .A shielding plate 12 is fixed to the structure 7 of the door 5 by screws (of which only the axis 13 has been shown).
On remarque sur la figure 2 que la plaque de blindage 12 est fixée à distance de la structure 7 et qu'elle est séparée de celle ci par des premiers moyens intermédiaires 14 qui sont déformables et peuvent absorber une partie de l'énergie d'un choc reçu par la plaque de blindage 12.It will be noted in FIG. 2 that the shielding plate 12 is fixed at a distance from the structure 7 and that it is separated from the latter by first intermediate means 14 which are deformable and can absorb a portion of the energy of a shock received by the armor plate 12.
Ces moyens intermédiaires 14 sont réalisés de préférence sous la forme de blocs de mousse métallique et en particulier de mousse d'aluminium. Un tel matériau assure la rigidité de la liaison lors des phases d'utilisation normale du véhicule. II autorise cependant une déformation importante lors d'un choc et assure donc une absorption de l'énergie reçue.These intermediate means 14 are preferably made in the form of blocks of metal foam and in particular of aluminum foam. Such a material ensures the rigidity of the connection during the normal use phases of the vehicle. However, it allows significant deformation during an impact and thus ensures absorption of the energy received.
On remarque par ailleurs sur la figure 2 que la plaque de blindage 12 a des dimensions qui sont supérieures à celles de la structure 7. Un rebord R de la plaque de blindage 12 déborde ainsi de la structure 7 et vient en appui sur des seconds moyens intermédiaires 15 également déformables .Note also in Figure 2 that the shield plate 12 has dimensions that are greater than those of the structure 7. A rim R of the armor plate 12 thus overflows the structure 7 and bears on second intermediate means 15 also deformable.
Ces seconds moyens intermédiaires 15 sont donc interposés entre le rebord R de la plaque de blindage 12 et la paroi 8 de l'habitacle qui entoure l'ouverture 10.These second intermediate means 15 are thus interposed between the rim R of the armor plate 12 and the wall 8 of the passenger compartment which surrounds the opening 10.
Conformément au mode de réalisation qui est représenté à la figure 2, les seconds moyens intermédiaires 15 sont également interposés entre les plaques de blindage 6 et les parois 8 de la cabine. Ces moyens intermédiaires 15 sont eux aussi réalisés de préférence sous la forme de blocs de mousse métallique tels que de la mousse d'aluminium.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the second intermediate means 15 are also interposed between the armor plates 6 and the walls 8 of the cabin. These intermediate means 15 are also preferably made in the form of metal foam blocks such as aluminum foam.
Ainsi lorsque la porte 5 est fermée la face interne de sa structure 7 vient en contact avec la périphérie de l'ouverture 10. Un joint d'étanchéité 16 solidaire de la porte vient en contact avec la paroi 8. Dans le même temps, le rebord R de la plaque de blindage 12 solidaire de la structure 7 vient en appui contre les seconds moyens intermédiaires 15.Thus when the door 5 is closed the internal face of its structure 7 comes into contact with the periphery of the opening 10. A seal 16 secured to the door comes into contact with the wall 8. At the same time, the edge R of the shielding plate 12 integral with the structure 7 abuts against the second intermediate means 15.
On voit sur la figure 3 que les premiers moyens intermédiaires 14 sont réalisés sous la forme de quatre blocs parallélépipédiques qui sont disposés au niveau d'une zone périphérique de la structure 7. Les blocs 14 sont ainsi parallèles aux côtés de la plaque de blindage 12.It can be seen in FIG. 3 that the first intermediate means 14 are made in the form of four parallelepipedal blocks which are arranged at a peripheral zone of the structure 7. The blocks 14 are thus parallel to the sides of the armor plate 12 .
Il existe donc une zone médiane 17 de la porte au niveau de laquelle il n'y a pas de matériau amortisseur. Il subsiste ainsi à l'intérieur de la porte 5, entre la structure interneThere is therefore a median area 17 of the door at which there is no damping material. It thus remains inside the door 5, between the internal structure
7 et la plaque de blindage 12, une zone vide 17 (ou espace libre) qui est dépourvue de moyens d'amortissement. Cet espace libre permet d'autoriser une déformation de la plaque 12 sous l'effet du souffle d'une explosion. Cette déformation intervient sans qu'il y ait d'impact de la plaque 12 sur la structure 7. Une telle disposition permet de consommer une partie de l'énergie du choc par la déformation de la plaque sans qu'il y ait pour autant destruction de la structure 7.7 and the shielding plate 12, an empty zone 17 (or free space) which is devoid of damping means. This free space allows to allow deformation of the plate 12 under the effect of the blast of an explosion. This deformation occurs without any impact of the plate 12 on the structure 7. Such an arrangement makes it possible to consume a portion of the energy of the shock by the deformation of the plate without the destruction of the structure 7.
On notera par ailleurs que les seconds moyens intermédiaires 15 sont aussi réalisés sous la forme de blocs parallélépipédiques parallèles aux côtés des plaques de blindage 6. Ces dernières peuvent donc aussi se déformer sans impacter la paroi 8 de la cabine et un espace libre 19 (voir figure 3) est aménagé entre les plaques de blindage 6 et la paroi 8.Note also that the second intermediate means 15 are also made in the form of parallelepipedal blocks parallel to the sides of the shielding plates 6. The latter can also be deformed without impacting the wall 8 of the cabin and a free space 19 (see FIG. 3) is arranged between the armor plates 6 and the wall 8.
Conformément à l'invention les rebords R de la plaque de blindage 12 de la porte 5 sont en appui sur les blocs compressibles des seconds moyens intermédiaires 15. Ainsi l'effort mécanique engendré par l'explosion sera transmis par la plaque de blindage 12 d'une part aux premiers moyens intermédiaires 14 et d'autre part aux seconds moyens intermédiaires 15. Ces derniers étant eux même en appui sur la paroi 8, cette dernière récupère la majeure partie des efforts reçus, soulageant ainsi la structure 7 de la porte. II n'y a donc plus de discontinuité de protection malgré la présence de la porte. On évite ainsi la destruction des charnières et serrures et la projection de parties de la structure vers l'intérieur de l'habitacle.In accordance with the invention, the flanges R of the shielding plate 12 of the door 5 bear against the compressible blocks of the second intermediate means 15. Thus, the mechanical force generated by the explosion will be transmitted by the armor plate 12. firstly to the first intermediate means 14 and secondly to the second intermediate means 15. The latter themselves being supported on the wall 8, the latter recovers most of the forces received, thereby relieving the structure 7 of the door. There is no longer any protection discontinuity despite the presence of the door. This avoids the destruction of hinges and locks and the projection of parts of the structure towards the interior of the cabin.
On a représenté, sur les figures 2 et 3 un mode de réalisation dans lequel les blocs compressibles 15 des seconds moyens intermédiaires étaient solidaires des plaques de blindage 6 et de la cabine 8.FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment in which the compressible blocks 15 of the second intermediate means were integral with the armor plates 6 and the cabin 8.
La figure 4 montre un autre mode de réalisation dans lequel les blocs compressibles 15 sont solidaires de la plaque de blindage 12 fixée à la structure 7 de la porte 5. Ces blocs sont fixés par exemple par collage. Ils viennent en appui contre la paroi 8 de la cabine lors de la fermeture de la porte. On prévoit alors d'autres blocs compressibles 18 gui sont interposés entre les plaques de blindage fixes 6 et la paroi 8 de la cabine.FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which the compressible blocks 15 are integral with the shielding plate 12 fixed to the structure 7 of the door 5. These blocks are fixed for example by gluing. They bear against the wall 8 of the cabin when closing the door. Other compressible blocks are then provided 18 which are interposed between the fixed shielding plates 6 and the wall 8 of the cabin.
A titre de variante, on pourra réaliser les premiers et seconds moyens intermédiaires déformables (14 et 15) sous la forme d'une mousse d'un autre métal ou bien sous la forme de blocs ou de caissons déformables.Alternatively, it will be possible to realize the first and second deformable intermediate means (14 and 15) in the form of a foam of another metal or in the form of blocks or deformable boxes.
A titre de variante, et indépendamment de la protection adoptée pour les portes ou ouvrants, il est possible de mettre en œuvre pour protéger un habitacle ou un véhicule uniquement une structure de blindage comme décrite précédemment en référence à la figure 4 et dans laquelle on aménage un espace libre 19 entre une plaque de blindage externe 6 et une paroi interne 8. Des moyens intermédiaires déformables 18 sont alors disposés au niveau d'une zone périphérique de la plaque de blindage 6, l'espace libre 19 ainsi aménagé permettant d'autoriser une déformation de la plaque de blindage sans impact sur la paroi interne. Alternatively, and regardless of the protection adopted for the doors or doors, it is possible to implement to protect a cabin or a vehicle only a shielding structure as described above with reference to Figure 4 and in which we develop a free space 19 between an outer shielding plate 6 and an inner wall 8. Deformable intermediate means 18 are then disposed at a peripheral zone of the shielding plate 6, the free space 19 thus arranged making it possible to authorize a deformation of the armor plate without impact on the inner wall.
