Definitions
- the invention relates to an active system based on at least one active body, in particular a so-called alarm active body (trip flare).
- Trip flares are devices used by armed forces that are set up and distributed to secure an area or region and protect it from infiltration (intruders).
- This security and protection system consists of trip wires that are connected to one or more trip flares. When the trip wire is triggered, the trip flare is activated and begins to burn. The flare then signals, for example, the intrusion of a person into the area to be secured.
- a trip flare that combines a lighting component and a lightning strike component.
- a firing pin of the trip flare hits an igniter, which ignites the lighting component etc. via an intermediate charge.
- the resulting pressure drives out a cover of the trip flare, which is connected to the lightning strike charge via a wound wire, which is also activated.
- the invention aims to avoid these aforementioned disadvantages.
- the invention is based on the idea of structurally and functionally separating an active body into an active body with an active mass and a trigger unit that triggers this active mass.
- the active body and trigger unit can thus be separated from one another and positioned independently of one another in the field. Both the active body and the trigger unit together form an active system.
- the inventive concept of dividing the active body with active mass and trigger unit enables variable positioning of the active body independently of the trigger unit.
- the trigger unit and active body are functionally connected to one another via a connection.
- One trigger unit can be responsible for several active bodies. In this case, one trigger unit and several active bodies form several active systems.
- the trigger unit itself can be attached at any point on the tensioned safety wire / trigger wire (tripwire). This variable positioning of the trigger unit on a trigger line or a trigger wire increases the possible uses.
- a decentralized arrangement of a trip unit from the EN 10 2006 004 992 A1 known, but this refers to an agent throwing system.
- the overall electronic component is divided into an operating unit component and a trigger unit component. There are no attempts to transfer this idea to an agent itself.
- the EP 2 940 421 A1 describes a trigger unit based on a rocker arm detonator for a projectile, such as a hand grenade or irritant device, etc.
- a projectile such as a hand grenade or irritant device, etc.
- the firing pin spring is kept in its untensioned state when the rocker arm detonator is not in use.
- the firing pin spring can be tensioned using a separate tensioning lever as soon as the rocker arm detonator is to be used as intended.
- a mechanical trigger unit is not tensioned in the state of its assembly and is therefore not armed.
- the trigger wire is connected to a secured and relaxed mechanism of the trigger unit during assembly.
- the function of the trigger unit can then be tested by tensioning and triggering the mechanism without an active charge. After testing for functionality the trigger unit can be returned to its relaxed state. This state can be secured using a locking pin. Only when the trigger unit and the active body are connected to one another is the mechanism of the trigger unit tensioned, the locking pin removed, and the trigger unit with the active body armed.
- An ignition hose, stop pin, detonating cord or an electrical cable, etc. are provided as a connecting means between the trigger unit and the active body, which enables a flexible connection between the mechanics/electronics of the trigger unit and the active body.
- the mechanical and electrical trigger units can be reused. If a (central) trigger unit is used for several active bodies, this trigger unit can then be used again. It is advantageous that the mechanical trigger unit in particular can be tensioned and released when it is secured.
- active elements can be triggered simultaneously by a trigger unit, whereby the active elements can comprise different active masses, i.e. not only light effects but also other effects such as flashes, bangs and other well-known effects that can contribute to increasing safety.
- the respective trigger unit is triggered by pulling or cutting a tensioned trigger wire that is functionally connected to the corresponding trigger unit.
- This concept enables the creation of a mechanical or electrical/electronic trigger unit that can be reused multiple times. When not in use, the trigger unit and the active body of the active system can also be dismantled and reused.
- An active system is proposed with at least one active body and at least one triggering unit, wherein the at least one active body and the at least one triggering unit are structurally separated from one another and are functionally connected to one another via connections.
- FIG.1 A protective zone 102 in the field is shown in a sketch from above, which includes a marked-out area 101. This area 101 is marked out by several anchors 1, at least two. Between the anchors 1 there can be a mechanical trigger unit 2 or an electrical trigger unit (not shown in detail). This trigger unit 2 is connected to the anchors 1 via a so-called trigger wire 3. At the end 4 of the trigger wire 3, which is connected to the anchor 1, the trigger wire 3 has a tension spring 5 with a tension limiter 6 (tension-limited tension spring). The anchors 1 are located near the ground and are preferably designed as ground spikes. In Fig.1 Seven anchorages 1, seven release wires 3 and seven release units 2 are shown as examples only.
- Active bodies 7 are provided spatially separated from the trigger units 2.
- the connection of an active body 7 or several active bodies 7 with a trigger unit 2 is shown on only two trigger units 2 as an example.
- the other trigger units 2 can also be individually functionally connected to one or more active bodies 7.
- a trigger unit 2 and at least one active body 7 form an active system 100.
- the trigger unit 2 preferably has an angle 14, via which the trigger unit 2 can be attached to a ground spike 10.
- the trigger unit 2 can be positioned in the field at a distance from the ground (not shown in detail) using this ground spike 10.
- the trigger unit 2 can be attached to the ground spike 10 via the angle 14 and by means of one, preferably two, fastening screw(s) 11, a fastening clamp 12 and one or two nuts 13, for example wing nuts ( Fig.3 ).
- the mechanical and electrical release units 2 comprise a release slide 18 and a clamping screw 19.
- the release unit 2 is on or connected to the trigger wire 3.
- the trigger slide 18 releases a mechanism of the mechanical trigger unit 2 or causes the electrical trigger unit 2 to be triggered.
- a retaining screw 22 is used to fasten a connection 8 to the active body 7.
- the mechanical trigger unit 2 in the present embodiment has a striking mechanism body 15, a striker 17, a striking spring 20, a cocking lever 21 as well as a primer holder 24 and a trigger slide nose 25 ( Fig.4 ).
- the aforementioned assemblies form the mechanics of the release unit 2. This mechanics can be deactivated, ie relaxed, by means of a release slide 16, if desired.
- Fig.4 shows the release device 2 from Fig.3 with a housing or a cover 23.
- the integration of the trigger unit 2, whether as a mechanical or electrical trigger unit 2, into the triggering section or the connection of the trigger unit 2 with the trigger wire 3 is the Fig.5
- the release wire 3 is clamped in the release slide 18.
- the release wire 3 is tensioned on both sides between the anchors 1 via the tension springs 5 with tension limiters 6.
- An active body 7 with active mass 7.1 is in Fig.6
- This active body 7 can also be placed on a separate ground spike 1' and distributed in the field.
- the ground spike 1' can have the shape of a fork 1.1'.
- the active body 7 can be screwed onto this fork 1.1' (27).
- At least one active body 7 can be connected to a trigger unit 2 ( Fig. 2a ).
- This connection 8 is made, for example, via an ignition hose ( Fig.3 ) in a mechanical variant and via a cable in an electrical version of the trigger unit 2. If several active bodies 7 are triggered by a trigger unit 2 ( Fig. 2b ), an ignition transmitter 9 is to be provided, which takes over the distribution to the active bodies 7 via further connections 8.
- the trigger wire 3 can be stretched as high above the ground as the user wishes. The height can be adjusted using the ground spikes 1. The trigger unit 2 should are at the same height. The active bodies 7 can be hidden and located lower than the trigger wires 3.
- a trigger wire 3 is moved or cut by a person (not shown in detail) entering the protection zone 100, this movement of the trigger wire 3 causes the trigger slide 18 to move.
- the trigger slide 18 moves a distance that is sufficient to release the striker 17 in a mechanical trigger unit 2. This strikes a primer in the primer holder 24. This ignites an ignition charge (not shown in detail) in a known manner.
- the corresponding active bodies 7 and the active masses embedded therein are triggered via the connection 8.
- the concept according to the invention is characterized in that the active body 7 and the triggering unit 2 are laid separately from one another and can be positioned differently in the protection zone 102.
- the setting up of a protection zone 102 is briefly described below using the mechanical trigger unit 2, whereby the essential steps are also carried out by means of an electrical or electronic trigger unit:
- the protection zone 102 and thus the determination of the trigger wire positions are defined by setting the ground spikes 1 in the field.
- the trigger wire(s) 3 are then tensioned between the pre-tension springs 5, 6, which ensures a balance of forces in the trigger wire 3.
- a ground spike 10 for each trigger unit 2 is inserted at any point on the tensioned trigger wire 3.
- the trigger unit 2 is then clamped to the ground spike at the desired height to the trigger wire 3.
- these steps can be carried out in advance so that the trigger unit 2 and ground spike 10 are already pre-assembled.
- the release wire 3 is then connected to the secured and relaxed release unit 2.
- the release unit 2 can already be tested at this point by tensioning it and triggering it without an active charge. After testing the function, the release unit 2 is returned to the relaxed state by the release slide 16, which can be secured by a locking pin 26 in the release slide 18.
- the next step is to position the active body(s) 7 in the field. This step is followed by connecting the active body(s) 7 to the trigger unit(s) 2 and tightening the mechanical trigger mechanism with the locking pin 26. The cover 23 can then be attached to the trigger unit 2 and the locking pin 26 of the trigger slide 18 can be removed.
- the locking pin 26 is reinserted, the cover 23 is removed and the release mechanism is released using the release slide 16.
- the connection 8 between the release unit 2 and the active body 7 can be dismantled.
- the active body 7 and the release unit 2 can themselves be further dismantled without any danger.

Description
Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit einem Wirksystem, aufbauend auf wenigstens einem Wirkkörper, insbesondere einem sogenannten Alarmwirkkörper (Trip Flare).The invention relates to an active system based on at least one active body, in particular a so-called alarm active body (trip flare).
Trip Flares sind von Streitkräften verwendete Wirkkörper, die aufgestellt und verteilt werden, um einen Bereich bzw. ein Gebiet zu sichern und vor Infiltration (Eindringlingen) zu schützen. Dieses Sicherungs- und Schutzsystem besteht aus Stolperdraht bzw. Stolperdrähten, der / die mit einem oder mehreren Wirkkörpern (Leuchtfeuern) verbunden ist / sind. Wenn der Stolperdraht ausgelöst wird, wird der Wirkkörper aktiviert und beginnt zu brennen. Das Leuchtfeuer signalisiert dann beispielsweise das Eindringen einer Person in das zu sichernde Gebiet.Trip flares are devices used by armed forces that are set up and distributed to secure an area or region and protect it from infiltration (intruders). This security and protection system consists of trip wires that are connected to one or more trip flares. When the trip wire is triggered, the trip flare is activated and begins to burn. The flare then signals, for example, the intrusion of a person into the area to be secured.
Aus der
Derartig aufgebaute Trip Flares befinden sich stets im scharfen Zustand. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass diese Art Wirkkörper nicht wiederverwendbar ist, auch nicht teilweise. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass im Gebrauch der gesamte Wirkkörper umgesetzt bzw. zerstört wird. Auch ist ein Deaktivieren des Wirkkörpers nach Nichtgebrauch nicht möglich.Trip flares constructed in this way are always armed. Another disadvantage is that this type of active body cannot be reused, not even partially. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the entire active body is relocated or destroyed during use. It is also not possible to deactivate the active body after it has not been used.
Gattungsgemäße Wirksysteme sind bspw. in den Offenlegungsschriften
Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, diese vorgenannten Nachteile zu vermeiden.The invention aims to avoid these aforementioned disadvantages.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch ein Wirksystem gemäß Patentanspruch 1, eine Schutzzone gemäß Patentanspruch 11 und ein Verfahren zur Schaffung einer Schutzzone gemäß Patentanspruch 12. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.The object is achieved by an active system according to
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, einen Wirkkörper in einen Wirkkörper mit Wirkmasse und in eine diese Wirkmasse auslösende Auslöseeinheit aufzutrennen, baulich und funktional. Wirkkörper und Auslöseeinheit können so voneinander getrennt und voneinander unabhängig im Feld positioniert werden. Beide, Wirkkörper und Auslöseeinheit, bilden zusammen ein Wirksystem.The invention is based on the idea of structurally and functionally separating an active body into an active body with an active mass and a trigger unit that triggers this active mass. The active body and trigger unit can thus be separated from one another and positioned independently of one another in the field. Both the active body and the trigger unit together form an active system.
Das erfindungsgemäße Konzept der Aufteilung von Wirkkörper mit Wirkmasse und Auslöseeinheit ermöglicht eine variable Positionierung des Wirkkörpers unabhängig von der Auslöseeinheit. Auslöseeinheit und Wirkkörper werden über eine Verbindung funktional miteinander verbunden. Dabei kann eine Auslöseeinheit für mehrere Wirkkörper verantwortlich sein. In diesem Fall bilden eine Auslöseeinheit und mehrere Wirkkörper mehrere Wirksysteme. Die Auslöseeinheit selbst kann an beliebiger Stelle des gespannten Sicherheitsdrahtes / Auslösedrahtes (Tripwire) angebracht werden. Diese variable Positionierung der Auslöseeinheit an einer Auslöseleine bzw. einem Auslösedraht erhöht die Einsatzmöglichkeiten.The inventive concept of dividing the active body with active mass and trigger unit enables variable positioning of the active body independently of the trigger unit. The trigger unit and active body are functionally connected to one another via a connection. One trigger unit can be responsible for several active bodies. In this case, one trigger unit and several active bodies form several active systems. The trigger unit itself can be attached at any point on the tensioned safety wire / trigger wire (tripwire). This variable positioning of the trigger unit on a trigger line or a trigger wire increases the possible uses.
Zwar ist beispielsweise eine dezentrale Anordnung einer Auslöseeinheit aus der
Die
Diesen Ansatz der sogenannten Widersicherung übernehmend ist in Weiterführung eine mechanische Auslöseeinheit im Zustand ihres Aufbaus nicht gespannt und damit nicht scharf. Der Auslösedraht wird beim Aufbau mit einer gesicherten und entspannten Mechanik der Auslöseeinheit verbunden. Die Auslöseeinheit kann dann durch Spannen und Auslösen der Mechanik ohne Wirkladung in ihrer Funktion überprüft werden. Nach Prüfung auf Funktionsfähigkeit kann die Auslöseeinheit in ihren entspannten Zustand zurückversetzt werden. Dieser Zustand ist durch einen Sicherungsstift sicherbar. Erst wenn die Auslöseeinheit und Wirkkörper miteinander verbunden sind, wird die Mechanik der Auslöseeinheit gespannt, der Sicherungsstift entfernt, die Auslöseeinheit mit dem Wirkkörper scharf gemacht.Adopting this approach of the so-called counter-security, a mechanical trigger unit is not tensioned in the state of its assembly and is therefore not armed. The trigger wire is connected to a secured and relaxed mechanism of the trigger unit during assembly. The function of the trigger unit can then be tested by tensioning and triggering the mechanism without an active charge. After testing for functionality the trigger unit can be returned to its relaxed state. This state can be secured using a locking pin. Only when the trigger unit and the active body are connected to one another is the mechanism of the trigger unit tensioned, the locking pin removed, and the trigger unit with the active body armed.
Als Verbindungsmittel zwischen Auslöseeinheit und Wirkkörper sind beispielsweise ein Zündschlauch, Stoppine, Sprengschnur oder ein elektrisches Kabel etc., vorgesehen, welche die Verbindung zwischen Mechanik / Elektronik der Auslöseeinheit und dem Wirkkörper flexibel ermöglicht. Bei Gebrauch wird dann nur der eigentliche Wirkkörper zerstört, d.h. die Wirkmasse umgesetzt. Die mechanische wie auch die elektrische Auslöseeinheit kann wiederverwendet werden. Bei Verwendung einer (zentralen) Auslöseeinheit für mehrere Wirckörper kann dann diese Auslöseeinheit erneut verwendet werden. Vorteilhaft ist, dass insbesondere die mechanische Auslöseeinheit im gesicherten Zustand spann- und entspannbar ist.An ignition hose, stop pin, detonating cord or an electrical cable, etc., are provided as a connecting means between the trigger unit and the active body, which enables a flexible connection between the mechanics/electronics of the trigger unit and the active body. When used, only the actual active body is destroyed, i.e. the active mass is transferred. The mechanical and electrical trigger units can be reused. If a (central) trigger unit is used for several active bodies, this trigger unit can then be used again. It is advantageous that the mechanical trigger unit in particular can be tensioned and released when it is secured.
Durch die Trennung von Wirkkörper und Auslöseeinheit kann die Anwendersicherheit gesteigert werden. Funktionstests sind an unscharfen Systemen ohne Gefährdung des Anwenders möglich. Der Aufbau und Abbau lassen sich einfacher, schneller und sicher realisieren.By separating the active body and the trigger unit, user safety can be increased. Functional tests can be carried out on disarmed systems without endangering the user. Assembly and disassembly can be carried out more easily, quickly and safely.
Es sind mehrere Wirkkörper gleichzeitig durch eine Auslöseeinheit zündbar, wobei die Wirckörper unterschiedliche Wirkmassen umfassen können, d.h., nicht nur Leuchteffekte sondern auch weitere Effekte, wie Blitz-, Knall- und andere bekannte Effekte, die zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit beitragen können.Several active elements can be triggered simultaneously by a trigger unit, whereby the active elements can comprise different active masses, i.e. not only light effects but also other effects such as flashes, bangs and other well-known effects that can contribute to increasing safety.
Ausgelöst wird die jeweilige Auslöseeinheit durch Zug oder Durchschneiden eines gespannten mit der entsprechenden Auslöseeinheit funktional verbundenen Auslösedrahtes.The respective trigger unit is triggered by pulling or cutting a tensioned trigger wire that is functionally connected to the corresponding trigger unit.
Dieses Konzept ermöglicht die Schaffung einer mehrfach wiederverwendbaren mechanischen oder elektrischen / elektronischen Auslöseeinheit. Bei Nichtgebrauch können Auslöseeinheit wie auch Wirkkörper des Wirksystems zudem abgebaut und wiederverwendet werden.This concept enables the creation of a mechanical or electrical/electronic trigger unit that can be reused multiple times. When not in use, the trigger unit and the active body of the active system can also be dismantled and reused.

Von den Auslöseeinheiten 2 örtlich getrennt sind Wirkköper 7 vorgesehen. Nur beispielsgebend ist andeutungsweise die Verknüpfung eines Wirkkörpers 7 bzw. mehrere Wirkkörper 7 mit einer Auslöseeinheit 2 an nur zwei Auslöseeinheiten 2 dargestellt. Auch die weiteren Auslöseeinheiten 2 können individuell mit einem oder mit mehreren Wirkkörpern 7 funktional verbunden werden. Eine Auslöseeinheit 2 und wenigstens ein Wirkkörper 7 bilden ein Wirksystem 100.
Die Auslöseeinheit 2 weist bevorzugt einen Winkel 14 auf, über den die Auslöseeinheit 2 an einem Erdspieß 10 befestigbar ist. Die Auslöseeinheit 2 kann mittels dieses Erdspießes 10 im Abstand zum Boden (nicht näher dargestellt) im Feld positioniert werden. Die Befestigung der Auslöseeinheit 2 am Erdspieß 10 kann über den Winkel 14 und mittels einer, bevorzugt zweier, Befestigungsschraube/n 11, einer Befestigungsschelle 12 und einer bzw. zweier Mutter/n 13, beispielsweise Flügelmuttern, erfolgten (
Die mechanische wie auch die elektrische Auslöseeinheit 2 umfassen einen Auslöseschieber 18 sowie eine Klemmschraube 19. Über diese Klemmschraube 19 wird die Auslöseeinheit 2 am bzw. mit dem Auslösedraht 3 verbunden. Der Auslöseschieber 18 gibt bei Gebrauch eine Mechanik der mechanischen Auslöseeinheit 2 frei bzw. bewirkt die Auslösung der elektrischen Auslöseeinheit 2. Eine Halteschraube 22 dient zur Befestigung einer Verbindung 8 zum Wirkkörper 7.The mechanical and
Im Unterschied zu einer elektrischen Auslöseeinheit weist die mechanische Auslöseeinheit 2 in der vorliegenden Ausführung einen Schlagmechanikkörper 15, einen Schläger 17, eine Schlagfeder 20, einen Spannhebel 21 sowie einen Zündhütchenhalter 24 und eine Auslöseschiebernase 25 (
Die Einbindung der Auslöseeinheit 2, ob nun als mechanische oder elektrische Auslöseeinheit 2, in die Ausfösestrecke bzw. die Verbindung der Auslöseeinheit 2 mit dem Auslösedraht 3 ist der
Ein Wirkkörper 7 mit Wirkmasse 7.1 ist in
Mit einer Auslöseeinheit 2 ist, wie bereits ausgeführt, wenigstens ein Wirkkörper 7 verbindbar (
Der Auslösedraht 3 ist so hoch über dem Boden spannbar, wie es vom Anwender erwünscht wird. Das Einstellen der Höhe kann über die Erdspieße 1 erfolgen. Die Auslöseeinheit 2 sollte sich in gleicher Höhe befinden. Die Wirkkörper 7 können versteckt und tiefer als die Auslösedrähte 3 liegen.The
Die Funktionsweise ist kurz erwähnt wie folgt:
Wird durch ein Eindringen einer nicht näher dargestellten Person in die Schutzzone 100 ein Auslösedraht 3 bewegt oder durchgeschnitten, bewirkt diese Bewegung des Auslösedrahtes 3 ein Bewegen des Auslöseschiebers 18. Der Auslöseschieber 18 geht dabei einen Weg mit, der ausreichend ist, bei einer mechanischen Auslöseeinheit 2 den Schläger 17 freizugeben. Dieser schlägt auf ein Zündhütchen im Zündhütchenhalter 24 auf. Dadurch wird in bekannter Art und Weise eine Anzündladung (nicht näher dargestellt) gezündet. Über die Verbindung 8 werden die entsprechenden Wirkkörper 7 und die darin eingebetteten Wirkmassen ausgelöst.The functionality is briefly mentioned as follows:
If a
Wie bereits ausgeführt, zeichnet sich das erfindungsgemäße Konzept dadurch aus, dass Wirkkörper 7 und Auslöseeinheit 2 voneinander getrennt unterschiedlich positionierbar in der Schutzzone 102 verlegt werden.As already explained, the concept according to the invention is characterized in that the
Das Einrichten einer Schutzzone 102 wird nachfolgend anhand der mechanischen Auslöseeinheit 2 kurz beschreiben, wobei die wesentlichen Schritte auch mittels einer elektrischen bzw. elektronischen Auslöseeinheit durchgeführt werden:
Die Schutzzone 102 und damit die Festlegung der Auslösedrahtpositionen werden durch Setzen der Erdspieße 1 im Feld definiert. Danach erfolgt das Spannen des Auslösedrahtes / der Auslösedrähte 3 zwischen den Vorspannfedern 5, 6, was ein Kräftegleichgewicht im Auslösedraht 3 gewährleistet.
