Description

Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des véhicules blindés et en particulier des véhicules blindés dont la caisse comporte un panneau basculant formant une rampe d'accès à l'habitacle qui est délimité par la caisse.The technical field of the invention is that of armored vehicles and in particular armored vehicles whose body includes a tilting panel forming an access ramp to the passenger compartment which is delimited by the body.

Il est connu de réaliser de tels véhicules comportant une rampe d'accès arrière. La rampe est articulée sur la caisse et elle obture complètement une ouverture de la caisse.It is known to make such vehicles having a rear access ramp. The ramp is articulated on the body and completely closes an opening of the body.

La rampe une fois abaissée constitue en effet un plan incliné facilitant une entrée et une sortie rapide du véhicule par des soldats.The ramp once lowered is indeed an inclined plane facilitating a quick entry and exit of the vehicle by soldiers.

Aujourd'hui il est nécessaire de définir des véhicules blindés dont le plancher est situé à une distance relativement importante du sol (de l'ordre de 1,2 m). En effet une telle distance est nécessaire pour limiter les effets du souffle des mines ou des engins explosifs improvisés et aussi pour permettre la mise en place de protections balistiques du plancher.Today it is necessary to define armored vehicles whose floor is located at a relatively large distance from the ground (of the order of 1.2 m). Indeed, such a distance is necessary to limit the effects of blast mines or improvised explosive devices and also to allow the establishment of ballistic protections of the floor.

Ceci conduit donc à éloigner du sol l'articulation du panneau basculant. Une telle disposition a cependant pour conséquence de donner à la rampe formée par le panneau ouvert une pente qui est excessive pour les soldats.This therefore leads to moving the hinge of the tilting panel away from the ground. Such an arrangement, however, has the consequence of giving the ramp formed by the open panel a slope which is excessive for the soldiers.

Il est connu par le brevet FR2977020 de définir un véhicule dans lequel la caisse comporte une plaque inférieure qui comporte une partie qui s'incline progressivement vers l'arrière de la caisse, véhicule dans lequel l'ouvrant en position ouverte a une première extrémité qui est séparée du sol par un premier seuil et une deuxième extrémité qui est séparée de la plaque inférieure par un deuxième seuil.He is known by the patent FR2977020 to define a vehicle in which the body has a lower plate which has a portion which inclines gradually towards the rear of the body, vehicle in which the opening in the open position has a first end which is separated from the ground by a first threshold and a second end which is separated from the lower plate by a second threshold.

Une telle disposition permet de définir une caisse de véhicule dans laquelle le plancher est à une distance importante du sol mais pour lequel la rampe conserve une pente réduite.Such an arrangement defines a vehicle body in which the floor is at a significant distance from the ground but for which the ramp maintains a reduced slope.

Ce véhicule présente cependant des inconvénients.This vehicle however has disadvantages.

Ainsi l'ergonomie de l'embarquement n'est pas optimale. Le personnel qui débarque doit garder la tête baissée lors du franchissement du seuil véhicule/rampe, ce qui augmente les risques de chute sur la rampe.Thus the ergonomics of boarding is not optimal. Personnel disembarking must keep their heads down when crossing the threshold vehicle / ramp, which increases the risk of falling on the ramp.

Le brevet EP1120625 propose un véhicule blindé dont la partie arrière comporte une poutre transversale et un ouvrant à double paroi pouvant adopter des positions intermédiaires dans lesquelles l'ouvrant ménage un espace à l'arrière du véhicule pouvant recevoir des fantassins armés. Ce véhicule a un plafond extrêmement bas. L'ergonomie de la sortie du véhicule qui pourrait être apportée par la rampe arrière n'est donc absolument pas évidente à la lecture de ce brevet.The patent EP1120625 proposes an armored vehicle whose rear part comprises a transverse beam and a double-walled opening which can adopt intermediate positions in which the opening provides a space at the rear of the vehicle that can accommodate armed infantrymen. This vehicle has an extremely low ceiling. The ergonomics of the exit of the vehicle which could be brought by the rear ramp is thus absolutely not obvious at the reading of this patent.

Le brevet FR1433082 décrit un véhicule blindé amphibie comportant un treuil au niveau de sa partie avant et permettant le chargement d'un fardeau par une porte arrière. Ce document ne donne aucune indication sur des moyens pouvant permettre d'améliorer l'ergonomie de l'embarquement arrière des fantassins.The patent FR1433082 describes an amphibious armored vehicle with a winch at its front end and allowing the loading of a burden by a rear door. This document gives no indication of ways to improve the ergonomics of the rear embarkation of infantry.

Le brevet EP1839918 propose un véhicule amphibie modulaire dans lequel un tronçon principal peut être raccordé à un tronçon arrière pour former un véhicule plus long. Dans ce véhicule les portes sont pivotantes par rapport à des axes verticaux. Ce document ne permet pas non plus de résoudre un problème d'ergonomie de l'embarquement par une rampe arrière.The patent EP1839918 proposes a modular amphibious vehicle in which a main section can be connected to a rear section to form a longer vehicle. In this vehicle the doors are pivotable with respect to vertical axes. This document does not solve a problem of ergonomics of boarding by a rear ramp.

L'invention a pour but de proposer une architecture de caisse de véhicule blindé dans laquelle le plancher est à une distance importante du sol mais la rampe conserve cependant une pente réduite, architecture facilitant l'ergonomie de l'embarquement et du débarquement des personnels.The invention aims to provide an armored vehicle body architecture in which the floor is at a significant distance from the ground but the ramp however retains a reduced slope, facilitating architecture ergonomics embarkation and disembarkation personnel.

L'invention présente aussi pour avantage de réduire la masse de la partie arrière de la caisse du véhicule.The invention also has the advantage of reducing the mass of the rear part of the vehicle body.

Suivant un mode particulier de réalisation, un abaissement de l'articulation de la rampe est obtenu sans imposer la réalisation d'un plancher interne incliné qui n'est pas toujours aisé à intégrer à un véhicule.According to a particular embodiment, a lowering of the articulation of the ramp is obtained without impose the realization of an inclined internal floor which is not always easy to integrate into a vehicle.

Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un véhicule blindé comportant une caisse formant habitacle comportant une ouverture arrière aménagée au niveau d'une paroi arrière de la caisse et qui est obturée par un panneau basculant constituant un ouvrant qui est articulé par rapport à la caisse sur un pivot et qui forme en position ouverte une rampe d'accès à l'habitacle, le pivot de l'ouvrant étant situé en dessous d'une plaque inférieure de la caisse, véhicule caractérisé en ce que la paroi arrière de la caisse portant l'ouverture est inclinée par rapport à la verticale vers une partie avant du véhicule, cette partie avant du véhicule étant ainsi plus proche d'un bord supérieur de l'ouverture que d'un bord inférieur de l'ouverture, et en ce que la plaque inférieure de la caisse est située plus proche du sol qu'un plancher de l'habitacle, une marche interne à l'habitacle étant ainsi formée entre la plaque inférieure et le plancher.Thus, the subject of the invention is an armored vehicle comprising a body forming a passenger compartment having a rear opening arranged at a rear wall of the body and which is closed by a tilting panel constituting an opening which is articulated with respect to the body on a pivot and which forms in the open position a ramp access to the passenger compartment, the pivot of the opening being located below a lower plate of the body, vehicle characterized in that the rear wall of the body carrying the l opening is inclined with respect to the vertical towards a front part of the vehicle, this front part of the vehicle thus being closer to an upper edge of the opening than to a lower edge of the opening, and in that the The bottom plate of the body is located closer to the ground than a floor of the passenger compartment, a step inside the passenger compartment being thus formed between the bottom plate and the floor.

D'une façon avantageuse, la paroi arrière pourra être inclinée par rapport à la verticale d'un angle compris entre 5° et 15°.Advantageously, the rear wall may be inclined relative to the vertical at an angle between 5 ° and 15 °.

La marche interne pourra avoir une hauteur de l'ordre de 300 mm.The internal step may have a height of the order of 300 mm.

La plaque inférieure de la caisse pourra s'étendre entre un bord inférieur de l'ouverture arrière et la marche interne sur une longueur inférieure à 500 mm.The lower plate of the box may extend between a lower edge of the rear opening and the internal step of a length less than 500 mm.

D'autres avantages de l'invention apparaîtront 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 :

  • la figure 1 montre en vue latérale schématique un véhicule blindé selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue arrière de ce véhicule blindé panneau basculant fermé,
  • la figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective arrière de ce véhicule blindé panneau basculant ouvert,
  • la figure 4a est une vue latérale arrière du véhicule, panneau basculant fermé,
  • la figure 4b est une vue latérale arrière du véhicule, panneau basculant ouvert.
Other advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description of a particular embodiment, a description given with reference to the accompanying drawings and in which:
  • the figure 1 shows in schematic side view a shielded vehicle according to one embodiment of the invention,
  • the figure 2 is a rear view of this armored vehicle closed tilting panel,
  • the figure 3 is a partial perspective rear view of this armored vehicle open tilting panel,
  • the figure 4a is a rear side view of the vehicle, tilting panel closed,
  • the figure 4b is a rear side view of the vehicle, open tilting panel.

En se reportant aux figures 1 à 3, un véhicule blindé 1 selon l'invention comporte une caisse 2 délimitant un habitacle pour des soldats (non représentés). Cette caisse est formée de plusieurs parois mécanosoudées et elle comporte au niveau d'une paroi arrière 2a une ouverture 2b qui est obturée par un panneau 3 basculant constituant un ouvrant.Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , an armored vehicle 1 according to the invention comprises a box 2 defining a passenger compartment for soldiers (not shown). This box is formed of several mechanically welded walls and it comprises at a rear wall 2a an opening 2b which is closed by a rocking panel 3 constituting an opening.

Ce panneau 3 est articulé par rapport à la caisse 2 sur un pivot horizontal 4.This panel 3 is hinged relative to the body 2 on a horizontal pivot 4.

Le véhicule 1 est ici un véhicule à roues 5. Les roues sont reliées deux à deux par des essieux 6 qui sont eux-mêmes raccordés à des boîtiers de transmission 7 reliés à une motorisation (non représentée) par des arbres d'entraînement 8.The vehicle 1 is here a wheeled vehicle 5. The wheels are connected in pairs by axles 6 which are themselves connected to transmission boxes 7 connected to a motor (not shown) by drive shafts 8.

La caisse 2 comporte au niveau de sa partie inférieure des parois latérales sous la forme de tôles à blindage pliées 9. Ces parois pliées prolongent des parois verticales 2c et 2d de la caisse 2 et forment des déports concaves coiffant les roues 5 du véhicule. Une telle disposition des déports de roues est décrite par le brevet FR2932557 .The box 2 has at its lower part side walls in the form of folded shielded sheets 9. These folded walls extend vertical walls 2c and 2d of the box 2 and form concave offsets capping the wheels 5 of the vehicle. Such an arrangement of wheel offset is described by the patent FR2932557 .

Conformément à l'invention la paroi arrière 2a de la caisse, qui porte l'ouverture 2b, est inclinée par rapport à la verticale vers une partie avant AV du véhicule. La partie avant AV du véhicule est celle qui se trouve en avant du véhicule dans le sens de progression normal de celui-ci (marche avant).According to the invention the rear wall 2a of the body, which carries the opening 2b, is inclined relative to the vertical towards a front portion AV of the vehicle. The front part AV of the vehicle is the one which is in front of the vehicle in the direction of normal progression of it (forward).

La partie arrière AR du véhicule est celle où se trouve l'ouvrant 3 (voir la figure 1).The rear part AR of the vehicle is that where is the opening 3 (see the figure 1 ).

La paroi arrière 2a forme donc un plan P qui est incliné d'un angle α par rapport à un plan vertical PV passant par le bord inférieur 2b1 de l'ouverture 2b. Le sens de l'inclinaison est tel que le bord supérieur 2b2 de l'ouverture 2b est plus proche de l'avant AV du véhicule que ne l'est le bord inférieur 2b1.The rear wall 2a thus forms a plane P which is inclined at an angle α with respect to a vertical plane P V passing through the lower edge 2b 1 of the opening 2b. The direction of the inclination is such that the upper edge 2b 2 of the opening 2b is closer to the front AV of the vehicle than is the lower edge 2b 1 .

On a représenté sur la figure 1 par la ligne pointillée PE un plan passant par l'axe d'un essieu avant. Ce plan PE est donc situé vers l'avant AV du véhicule par rapport à la paroi arrière 2a.We have shown on the figure 1 by the dotted line P E a plane passing through the axis of a front axle. This plane P E is located towards the front of the vehicle AV with respect to the rear wall 2a.

L'inclinaison de la paroi arrière 2a est telle que la distance D1 entre le bord supérieur 2b2 de l'ouverture et le plan PE est inférieure à la distance D2 entre le bord inférieur 2b1 de l'ouverture et le plan PE.The inclination of the rear wall 2a is such that the distance D1 between the upper edge 2b 2 of the opening and the plane P E is less than the distance D2 between the lower edge 2b 1 of the opening and the plane P E .

En d'autres termes, en considérant une coupe de la caisse 2 du véhicule par un plan vertical médian, l'angle ϕ entre la paroi supérieure 2e de la caisse 2 et la paroi arrière 2a est un angle obtus (ϕ = 90° + α).In other words, considering a section of the body 2 of the vehicle by a median vertical plane, the angle φ between the upper wall 2e of the body 2 and the rear wall 2a is an obtuse angle (φ = 90 ° + α).

L'angle α est compris entre 5 ° et 15 ° et de préférence de 10°. Une telle disposition permet de ne pas trop réduire le volume de l'habitacle. Le panneau se trouve par ailleurs légèrement allongé par rapport à un panneau qui serait appliqué sur une paroi arrière verticale.The angle α is between 5 ° and 15 ° and preferably 10 °. Such an arrangement makes it possible not to reduce the volume of the passenger compartment too much. The panel is also slightly elongated relative to a panel that would be applied to a vertical rear wall.

Cette inclinaison permet aussi de réduire la masse de la caisse du véhicule. En effet, les parois latérales et supérieures se trouvant raccourcies par la pente de la paroi arrière 2a, le volume de tôle à blindage utilisé se trouve également réduit. Avec un angle de 10°, la masse économisée est de l'ordre de 120 kg.This inclination also reduces the weight of the vehicle body. Indeed, the side and upper walls being shortened by the slope of the rear wall 2a, the volume of shielded sheet used is also reduced. With an angle of 10 °, the mass saved is of the order of 120 kg.

Le pivot 4 de l'ouvrant 3 est situé en dessous d'une plaque inférieure 10 de la caisse 2. Cette plaque inférieure 10 est située plus proche du sol S qu'un plancher 11 de l'habitacle. Le plancher 11 est horizontal et il y a ainsi une marche 12 (interne à l'habitacle) qui est formée entre la plaque inférieure 10 et le plancher 11.The pivot 4 of the opening 3 is located below a lower plate 10 of the body 2. This lower plate 10 is located closer to the ground S than a floor 11 of the cockpit. The floor 11 is horizontal and there is thus a step 12 (internal to the passenger compartment) which is formed between the lower plate 10 and the floor 11.

Le pivot 4 est formé par des languettes percées 13 qui sont disposées de part et d'autre de l'ouvrant 3 (figure 2) et traversées chacune par un axe 14 solidaire de l'ouvrant 3.The pivot 4 is formed by pierced tongues 13 which are arranged on either side of the opening 3 ( figure 2 ) and each traversed by an axis 14 secured to the opening 3.

L'ouvrant 3 est déplacé de sa position fermée (figure 4a) à sa position ouverte (figure 4b) à l'aide de moyens de manoeuvre 15 (représentés uniquement à la figure 3) comprenant deux actionneurs qui sont ici constitués par deux vérins hydrauliques. Les vérins 15 sont représentés à la figure 3 comme fixés à l'extérieur de la caisse du véhicule entre des points d'attache hauts 16, liés à la paroi arrière 2a, et des points d'attache bas 17, liés à l'ouvrant 3. Il serait bien entendu possible de fixer les vérins de manoeuvre à l'intérieur du véhicule entre la caisse 2 et l'ouvrant 3, ou bien de prévoir des corps de vérin liés directement à la face externe de l'ouvrant et agissant sur des articulations fixées sous la plaque inférieure 10 de la caisse 2.The opening 3 is moved from its closed position ( figure 4a ) in its open position ( figure 4b ) by means of maneuvers 15 (shown only in the figure 3 ) comprising two actuators which are here constituted by two hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders 15 are shown at figure 3 as attached to the outside of the vehicle body between high attachment points 16, linked to the rear wall 2a, and low attachment points 17, related to the opening 3. It would of course be possible to fix the actuating cylinders inside the vehicle between the body 2 and the opening 3, or to provide cylinder bodies directly connected to the outer face of the opening and acting on joints fixed under the lower plate 10 of the box 2.

Les vérins 15 sont alimentés en fluide par le groupe hydraulique du véhicule 1 (non représenté).The cylinders 15 are supplied with fluid by the hydraulic unit of the vehicle 1 (not shown).

La figure 4b montre la partie arrière du véhicule avec l'ouvrant 3 en position ouverte.The figure 4b shows the rear part of the vehicle with the opening 3 in the open position.

On remarque que l'ouvrant 3 est articulé par rapport à la caisse 2 sur un pivot 4 et il forme en position ouverte une rampe d'accès à l'habitacle. Le pivot 4 de l'ouvrant est situé en dessous de la plaque inférieure 10 de la caisse. Ainsi en position ouverte, avec le véhicule sur un sol horizontal S plan, l'ouvrant 3 a une première extrémité qui est séparée du sol S par un premier seuil S1 et une deuxième extrémité qui est séparée de la plaque inférieure 10 par un deuxième seuil S2.Note that the opening 3 is articulated with respect to the body 2 on a pivot 4 and it forms in the open position a ramp access to the passenger compartment. The pivot 4 of the opening is located below the lower plate 10 of the body. Thus in the open position, with the vehicle on a plane horizontal ground S, the opening 3 has a first end which is separated from the ground S by a first threshold S1 and a second end which is separated from the lower plate 10 by a second threshold S2.

Le premier et le deuxième seuils sont d'environ 300mm.The first and second thresholds are about 300mm.

Par ailleurs la marche interne 12 a une hauteur d'environ 300 mm qui forme ainsi un troisième seuil S3 (hauteur de marche comprise entre 280mm et 320mm). Ces seuils sont réduits et ne gênent pas la montée dans le véhicule 1.Furthermore, the internal step 12 has a height of about 300 mm which thus forms a third threshold S3 (operating height between 280mm and 320mm). These thresholds are reduced and do not hinder the rise in the vehicle 1.

La plaque inférieure 10 de la caisse s'étend entre le bord inférieur 2b1 de l'ouverture arrière 2b et la marche interne 12 sur une longueur L inférieure à 500 mm. Cette longueur réduite de la marche 12 empiète peu sur l'habitacle interne à la caisse.The lower plate 10 of the box extends between the lower edge 2b 1 of the rear opening 2b and the inner step 12 to a length L less than 500 mm. This reduced length of the step 12 encroaches little on the cockpit internal to the body.

La présence de la marche 12 permet d'abaisser le pivot 4 de l'ouvrant par rapport au sol S. Il en résulte une rampe formée par l'ouvrant 3 qui présente un angle réduit β avec le sol S (de l'ordre de 15°), et ce malgré une distance D entre le plancher 11 et le sol S qui est importante (de l'ordre de 1 mètre). L'accès à l'habitacle se trouve donc facilité.The presence of the step 12 allows to lower the pivot 4 of the opening relative to the ground S. This results in a ramp formed by the opening 3 which has a reduced angle β with the ground S (of the order of 15 °), and this despite a distance D between the floor 11 and the ground S which is important (of the order of 1 meter). Access to the cabin is thus facilitated.

La présence d'une paroi arrière 2a inclinée d'un angle α d'environ 10° permet donc de réduire la masse du véhicule mais elle facilite aussi un accès ergonomique à ce dernier.The presence of a rear wall 2a inclined at an angle α of about 10 ° therefore reduces the weight of the vehicle but also facilitates ergonomic access to the latter.

En effet la distance d entre le plan vertical PV passant par le bord inférieur 2b1 de l'ouverture 2b et le bord supérieur 2b2 de ladite ouverture est d'environ 350mm pour une hauteur H d'environ 2 mètres. Cette distance suffit pour que, lors de la sortie du véhicule, les personnels aient leur tête qui se dégage de l'habitacle avant qu'ils aient posé le pied sur la rampe formée par l'ouvrant 3.Indeed the distance d between the vertical plane P V passing through the lower edge 2b 1 of the opening 2b and the upper edge 2b 2 of said opening is about 350mm for a height H of about 2 meters. This distance is sufficient so that, when leaving the vehicle, the staff have their head that emerges from the passenger compartment before they set foot on the ramp formed by the opening 3.

Ceci permet un parcours sur toute la longueur de l'ouvrant 3 sans risques de chocs de la tête sur la caisse du véhicule.This allows a route along the entire length of the opening 3 without the risk of shock of the head on the vehicle body.

L'ergonomie est encore améliorée par la combinaison de la présence d'une marche 12 et d'une paroi arrière 2b inclinée. Les personnels posent en effet leur pied sur la plaque inférieure 10 avant d'aborder la rampe de l'ouvrant 3. Ils descendent ainsi une marche 12 de près de 300mm et échappent encore plus facilement au bord supérieur 2b2 de l'ouverture 2b.Ergonomics is further improved by the combination of the presence of a step 12 and a rear wall 2b inclined. The staffs actually put their foot on the lower plate 10 before approaching the ramp opening 3. They descend and a step 12 of nearly 300mm and escape even more easily at the upper edge 2b 2 of the opening 2b.

Bien entendu, afin d'assurer la résistance de la caisse aux effets d'une explosion de mine à effet de souffle, la plaque inférieure 10 tout comme le plancher 11 sont en appui balistique sur les parois latérales 9 de la caisse du véhicule.Of course, in order to ensure the resistance of the body to the effects of a blast mine explosion, the lower plate 10 as the floor 11 are in ballistic support on the side walls 9 of the vehicle body.

Les appuis balistiques seront de préférence réalisés sous la forme de concordances de formes entre la plaque inférieure 10 et la paroi latérale 9, par exemple avec des créneaux et des languettes. Une telle solution est décrite dans le brevet FR2927990 . Cet assemblage permet de fournir un point d'appui mutuel de la plaque inférieure par rapport à la paroi latérale lorsqu'un effort mécanique externe est appliqué à l'une ou l'autre de ces parties.The ballistic supports will preferably be made in the form of shape matches between the lower plate 10 and the side wall 9, for example with slots and tabs. Such a solution is described in the patent FR2927990 . This assembly provides a mutual support point of the lower plate relative to the side wall when an external mechanical force is applied to one or other of these parts.

Un assemblage analogue avec appui balistique sera réalisé entre les parois verticales 2c et 2d de la caisse 2 et les parois latérales concaves 9, ainsi qu'entre la plaque inférieure 10 et la paroi arrière 2a de la caisse 2.A similar assembly with ballistic support will be made between the vertical walls 2c and 2d of the box 2 and the concave side walls 9, and between the lower plate 10 and the rear wall 2a of the box 2.

Les techniques d'assemblage avec appui balistiques sont connues en particulier de FR2977020 et de FR2927990 . Elles ne font pas partie de l'invention et il n'est donc pas nécessaire de les décrire plus en détails.The techniques of assembly with ballistic support are known in particular from FR2977020 and of FR2927990 . They do not form part of the invention and it is therefore not necessary to describe them in more detail.
