Description

Die folgende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Energieabsorption, sowie ein System zur Energieabsorption mittels wenigstens einer der vorhergenannten Vorrichtungen.The following invention relates to a device for energy absorption and a system for energy absorption by means of at least one of the aforementioned devices.

Die Anforderungen an einen Minenschutz eines insbesondere wehrtechnischen Fahrzeugs nehmen immer mehr an Bedeutung zu. Auch ältere Fahrzeuge werden mit immer höherem Minenschutz ausgestattet, welcher die Fahrzeuge schwer macht. Auch die Bodenfreiheit wird geringer.The requirements for mine protection, in particular for a defense vehicle, are becoming more and more important. Older vehicles are also being equipped with ever higher protection against mines, which makes the vehicles heavy. The ground clearance is also reduced.

Somit ist die vorliegende Erfindung insbesondere bei wehrtechnischen Fahrzeugen einzusetzen. Die Energie, die hierbei absorbiert werden soll, ist die Druckwelle einer explodierenden Mine, welche auf ein zu schützendes Objekt, beispielsweise des Fahrzeugs wirkt. Diese Energie muss von dem Mittel zur Energieabsorption möglichst vollständig absorbiert und nicht an das zu schützende Objekt bzw. dem Insassen weitergegeben werden. Ebenso schützt die Vorrichtung vor Energieeinwirkungen durch EFP-Munition.The present invention can therefore be used in particular in defense vehicles. The energy that is to be absorbed here is the pressure wave of an exploding mine, which acts on an object to be protected, for example the vehicle. This energy must be absorbed as completely as possible by the means for energy absorption and must not be passed on to the object to be protected or the occupant. The device also protects against the effects of energy from EFP ammunition.

Dies geschieht üblicherweise entweder durch schwere Minenschutzplatten, welche die Energie der Mine aufnehmen sollen oder durch spezielle, beispielsweise v-förmige Konstruktionen, welche ebenfalls die Druckenergie der Mine aufnehmen oder umlenken sollen. Auch zusätzliche Steg-Böden oder Unterbaulösungen sind bekannt. Vorrichtungen zur Energieabsorption sind aus WO 2006/068655 A2 , DE 103 55 913 A1 , US 2006/191403 A1 und US 2008/111396 A1 bekannt.This is usually done either by heavy mine protection plates, which are supposed to absorb the energy of the mine, or by special, for example V-shaped constructions, which are also supposed to absorb or deflect the pressure energy of the mine. Additional web floors or substructure solutions are also known. Energy absorption devices are off WO 2006/068655 A2 , DE 103 55 913 A1 , US 2006/191403 A1 and US 2008/111396 A1 known.

So zeigt beispielsweise die WO 03/058151 A1 einen entsprechenden Minenschutz für gepanzerte Fahrzeuge, wobei hierbei ein entsprechender Materialaufbau am Fahrzeug angebracht wird, damit dieser die von der Mine per Druckwelle eingebrachte Energie aufnehmen kann und in Wärme- und/oder Verformungsenergie umsetzen kann. Die unterschiedlichen Materialien (beispielsweise Sand) sowie Schäume.For example, the WO 03/058151 A1 a corresponding mine protection for armored vehicles, whereby a corresponding material structure is attached to the vehicle so that it can absorb the energy brought in by the mine by pressure wave and convert it into heat and / or deformation energy. The different materials (e.g. sand) and foams.

Die DE 10 2006 051 870 A1 zeigt weiterhin ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug, welches über eine zur Unterseite zulaufende Hülle und einen sechseckigen Querschnitt verfügt. Dieser Aufbau und die geometrische Form bietet dem Fahrzeug einen entsprechenden Schutz gegen Minen und Sprengladungen.The DE 10 2006 051 870 A1 also shows an armored vehicle, which has a shell tapering towards the underside and a hexagonal cross-section. This structure and the geometric shape offer the vehicle appropriate protection against mines and explosive charges.

Bei diesen Arten des Minenschutzes wird jedoch entweder das zu schützende Objekt durch das Gewicht der angebrachten Materialien erheblich erhöht oder es ist ein erheblicher Platzbedarf durch die Konstruktion des Schutzes notwendig. Zudem sind die meisten Konzepte sehr teuer.With these types of mine protection, however, either the object to be protected is considerably increased by the weight of the materials attached, or a considerable amount of space is required due to the construction of the protection. In addition, most of the concepts are very expensive.

Somit ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die oben genannten Nachteile zu überwinden und einen kostengünstigen Schutz eines Objektes vor Energieeinwirkung zu realisieren, welcher weder viel Platz einnimmt, noch ein hohes Gewicht aufweist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and to implement a cost-effective protection of an object from the effects of energy which neither takes up a lot of space nor is heavy.

Zudem soll die vorliegende Erfindung universell einsetzbar sein, d. h., für verschiedene Objektarten eine Energieabsorption zu ermöglichen. Dies schließt unterschiedliche Fahrzeuge, wie Kettenfahrzeuge und Radfahrzeuge, aber auch andere Objekte, beispielsweise Türme, die gegen Energieeinwirkung geschützt werden müssen mit ein. So kann die vorliegende Erfindung ebenfalls zum Schutz und/oder Versteifung von Bergbaugeräten als Objekt genutzt werden.In addition, the present invention should be universally applicable, i. that is, to enable energy absorption for different types of objects. This includes different vehicles, such as tracked vehicles and wheeled vehicles, but also other objects, for example towers, which have to be protected against the effects of energy. Thus, the present invention can also be used to protect and / or stiffen mining equipment as an object.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1, sowie mit den Merkmalen des nebengeordneten Anspruchs 11. So schlägt die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zur Energieabsorption vor, wobei die Vorrichtung eine Mehrzahl an nebeneinander angeordneten Profilen aufweist und eine Decklage umfasst, in welcher die Profile eingebettet sind. Die Decklage kann in Kombination mit einem Gehäuse eine geschlossene Einheit bilden. Ebenfalls umfasst die Vorrichtung eine Einlage aus Gummi oder Hartschaum. Die vorgenannten Profile sind hierbei aus Leichtmetall, beispielsweise Aluminium oder faserverstärktem Kunststoff gefertigt, um einwirkende Energien durch Verformung absorbieren zu können.This object is achieved by the features of independent claim 1, as well as with the features of the independent claim 11. Thus, the invention proposes a device for energy absorption, wherein the device has a plurality of adjacent profiles and comprises a cover layer in which the profiles are embedded. In combination with a housing, the cover layer can form a closed unit. The device also comprises an insert made of rubber or rigid foam. The aforementioned profiles are made of light metal, for example aluminum or fiber-reinforced plastic, in order to be able to absorb the energies that act through deformation.

Beispielhaft besteht die Vorrichtung aus einer Decklage, die flächig ausgeführt ist. An einer Seite der Decklage ist ein Bereich vorgesehen, an dem die Mehrzahl nebeneinander angeordneter Profile angebracht sind. Bevorzugterweise sind hierzu mehrere Profile nebeneinander an einer Seite der Decklage zur Außenwand hin angebracht. Die Decklage selber kann auch an mehreren Seiten der Profile angeordnet sein, sodass sich ein Gehäuse durch die Decklage ergeben kann.For example, the device consists of a cover layer that is designed to be flat. On one side of the cover layer, an area is provided to which the plurality of profiles arranged next to one another are attached. For this purpose, several profiles are preferably attached next to one another on one side of the cover layer towards the outer wall. The top layer itself can also be arranged on several sides of the profiles, so that a housing can result from the top layer.

Je nach Anforderung an die Energieabsorption der Vorrichtung können die Profile als Hohlprofile oder als strukturgefüllte Profile ausgeführt sein. Bevorzugterweise werden die Profile als Rechteckprofile ausgeführt, um eine hohe Kompaktheit zu gewährleisten.Depending on the energy absorption requirements of the device, the profiles can be designed as hollow profiles or as structurally filled profiles. The profiles are preferably designed as rectangular profiles in order to ensure a high degree of compactness.

Zur weiteren Verstärkung der Profile kann es hilfreich sein, wenn die Profile mit einem Faserwerkstoff ummantelt sind. Dies erwirkt eine größere Steifigkeit der Profile und somit auch der gesamten Vorrichtung, sowie auch einer höheren Fähigkeit zur Energieabsorption.To further strengthen the profiles, it can be helpful if the profiles are coated with a fiber material. This results in a greater rigidity of the profiles and thus also of the entire device, as well as a greater ability to absorb energy.

In einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform können nun die Profile und somit die Vorrichtung je nach Anforderung an die Energieabsorption weicher oder steifer ausgelegt werden. Hierzu können die Profile, wenn sie als Hohlprofile vorliegen, mit einer Füllung, vorzugsweise mit einer strukturierten Füllung versehen sein, beispielsweise mit Aluminiumschaum.In a further special embodiment, the profiles and thus the device can now be designed to be softer or stiffer, depending on the requirements for energy absorption. For this purpose, the profiles, if they are present as hollow profiles, can be provided with a filling, preferably with a structured filling, for example with aluminum foam.

Ebenso können die Hohlräume der Hohlprofile mindestens ein zusätzliches Element beinhalten, insbesondere auch aus einem härteren Material als das des Profils. Dieses zusätzliche Element kann beispielsweise als Flachprofil ausgeführt sein, welches in den Hohlraum der Hohlprofile eingefügt wird. Es kann aber auch als zweites Hohlprofil ausgeführt sein, sodass ein doppelwandiges Hohlprofil entsteht. Dieses doppelwandige Hohlprofil kann entweder zentrisch oder versetzt ausgebildet sein. Das innenliegende Hohlprofil des doppelwandigen Hohlprofils kann hierbei die gleiche geometrische Form aufweisen, wie das außenliegend Hohlprofil aber auch unterschiedlich sein.The cavities of the hollow profiles can also contain at least one additional element, in particular also made of a harder material than that of the profile. This additional element can be designed, for example, as a flat profile which is inserted into the cavity of the hollow profiles. However, it can also be designed as a second hollow profile, so that a double-walled hollow profile is created. This double-walled hollow profile can be designed either centrally or offset. The inner hollow profile of the double-walled hollow profile can have the same geometric shape as the outer hollow profile, but can also be different.

Zudem kann vorgesehen sein, ein Innenprofil, beispielsweise ein Kreuzprofil oder ein Mehreckprofil in den Hohlraum des Hohlprofils einzufügen. Somit wird dem Profil und dadurch der Vorrichtung eine zusätzliche Stabilität verliehen und es können höhere Energien absorbiert werden. Die Vorrichtung erlangt eine höhere Steifigkeit.In addition, it can be provided to insert an inner profile, for example a cross profile or a polygonal profile, into the cavity of the hollow profile. This gives the profile and thereby the device additional stability and higher energies can be absorbed. The device becomes more rigid.

Alle vorgenannten Möglichkeiten zur Abänderung der Energieabsorptionsfähigkeit sind mit der Füllung der Hohlräume der Profile kombinierbar. Ebenfalls sind die zusätzlichen Elemente auch aus einem anderen Material, wie beispielsweise Stahl, Aluminium, Keramik oder Kunststoff, mit dem vorgenannten doppelwandigen Profil und/oder dem Innenprofil kombinierbar.All of the above options for changing the energy absorption capacity can be combined with the filling of the hollow spaces in the profiles. Likewise, the additional elements made of another material, such as steel, aluminum, ceramic or plastic, can be combined with the aforementioned double-walled profile and / or the inner profile.

Durch diese Vielzahl von Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Profile der Vorrichtung ist es somit möglich, bei unterschiedlichen Anforderungen an die Höhe der Energieabsorptionsfähigkeit der Vorrichtung diese entsprechend zu gestalten.Due to this large number of design options for the profiles of the device, it is thus possible to design the device accordingly if there are different requirements for the level of the device's energy absorption capacity.

Die je nach Gestaltung der Profile vorhandenen Hohlräume im Profil können dazu genutzt werden, Versorgungsleitungen aufzunehmen. Solch eine Nutzung kann auch bei einer Füllung im Hohlraum geschehen. Versorgungsleitungen sind beispielsweise elektrische und/oder hydraulische und/oder pneumatische Leitungen um Bestandteile des zu schützenden Objekts zu versorgen. So könnten bei einem Fahrzeug beispielsweise elektrische Leitungen für elektrische Verbraucher und Geräte im Fahrzeug in die Profile eingefügt werden, sowie hydraulische und/oder pneumatische Leitungen zur Versorgung von beispielsweise Antrieben oder Zusatzgeräten.The cavities in the profile, depending on the design of the profiles, can be used to accommodate supply lines. Such a use can also take place with a filling in the cavity. Supply lines are, for example, electrical and / or hydraulic and / or pneumatic lines to supply components of the object to be protected. In a vehicle, for example, electrical lines for electrical consumers and devices in the vehicle could be inserted into the profiles, as well as hydraulic and / or pneumatic lines for supplying drives or additional devices, for example.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die vorgenannte Vorrichtung in einem Fahrzeug als Objekt angeordnet, welches mindestens eine Außenhülle aufweist. An der Außenhülle sind Kanten und Vorsprünge vorhanden. Diese Kanten und Vorsprünge können durch die Formgebung der Außenhülle entstehen und werden im Folgenden Aufbauten genannt. Aufbauten können aber auch durch auf oder in der Außenhülle angebrachte Vorrichtungen entstehen, beispielsweise durch Drehstabtunnel. Solche Drehstabtunnel verlaufen beispielsweise bei wehrtechnischen Fahrzeugen entlang und durch die Außenhülle, um Antriebselemente, beispielsweise bei Kettenantrieben abzudecken. Die Abdeckungen der Drehstabtunnel können dabei in die erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen integriert werden.According to the invention, the aforementioned device is arranged as an object in a vehicle which has at least one outer shell. There are edges and protrusions on the outer shell. These edges and projections can arise from the shape of the outer shell and are referred to below as structures. However, superstructures can also be created by devices attached to or in the outer shell, for example by torsion bar tunnels. Such torsion bar tunnels run along and through the outer shell in defense vehicles, for example, in order to cover drive elements, for example in the case of chain drives. The covers of the torsion bar tunnels can be integrated into the devices according to the invention.

Bei einem Fahrzeug stellt das Chassis und/oder die Fahrzeugwanne die Außenhülle dar. Zur Außenhülle zählen ebenfalls Seitenwände und Decken sowie ein ggf. vorhandener Zwischenboden. Die oben genannten Vorrichtungen können ebenfalls in oder an Zwischenböden vorgesehen sein.In the case of a vehicle, the chassis and / or the vehicle pan represent the outer shell. The outer shell also includes side walls and ceilings as well as an intermediate floor that may be present. The above-mentioned devices can also be provided in or on intermediate floors.

Durch diese Aufbauten bzw. Kanten und Vorsprünge entstehen Zwischenräume jeweils zwischen zweier Aufbauten und/oder Kanten und Vorsprünge. Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu nun vorgeschlagen, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen in diese Zwischenräume eingefügt werden, um die Zwischenräume mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung auszufüllen. Die Vorrichtung hat dann die Funktion eines Inlays. Vorteil der Ausnutzung der Zwischenräume ist, dass kein zusätzlicher Platzbedarf für die Vorrichtung besteht, da diese Zwischenräume im Normalfall nicht genutzt werden.These structures or edges and projections create spaces between two structures and / or edges and projections. According to the invention, it is now proposed for this purpose that the devices according to the invention are inserted into these intermediate spaces in order to fill the intermediate spaces with the device according to the invention. The device then has the function of an inlay. The advantage of utilizing the intermediate spaces is that there is no additional space requirement for the device, since these intermediate spaces are normally not used.

Die Vorrichtung kann zur Energieabsorption von außen sowie von innen an der Außenhülle des Fahrzeugs angebracht werden. Zudem kann die Vorrichtung die Steifigkeit und somit die Stabilität der Außenhülle verbessert werden, denn durch die Einfügung der Vorrichtung in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Aufbauten, werden die Zwischenräume versteift und somit auch die gesamte Außenhülle.The device can be attached to the outer shell of the vehicle for energy absorption from the outside as well as from the inside. In addition, the device can improve the rigidity and thus the stability of the outer shell, because by inserting the device into the spaces between the structures, the spaces are stiffened, and thus also the entire outer shell.

Zur Einbringung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in die Zwischenräume zwischen den Aufbauten wird die Vorrichtung so in dem Zwischenraum angeordnet, dass die Profile im Zwischenraum angeordnet sind und auf den Aufbauten mittels der Decklage auf- oder anliegen. Ist die Vorrichtung am Boden der Außenhülle angeordnet, kann die Vorrichtung durch die Decklage an den Aufbauten aufliegen. Die Profile zeigen dann zur Außenhülle hin. Ist die Vorrichtung an den Seitenwänden oder der Decke angeordnet, kann die Vorrichtung an den Aufbauten anliegen. Durch die Auf- oder Anlage der Decklage auf den Aufbauten ist zum einen der Zwischenraum mit der Vorrichtung entsprechend abgedeckt und zum anderen wird eine gleichmäßige Fläche gewährleistet, welche in etwa der Höhe der Aufbauten entspricht.To introduce the device according to the invention into the spaces between the structures, the device is arranged in the space so that the profiles in the Are arranged intermediate space and rest on the superstructures by means of the cover layer. If the device is arranged on the bottom of the outer shell, the device can rest on the superstructures through the cover layer. The profiles then point towards the outer shell. If the device is arranged on the side walls or the ceiling, the device can rest against the superstructures. By building up or resting the cover layer on the structures, on the one hand the space between them is correspondingly covered with the device and, on the other hand, a uniform surface is ensured which corresponds approximately to the height of the structures.

Falls die Decklage in Kombination mit einem Gehäuse ausgeführt ist, kann jedoch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch an ebenen Flächen der Außenhülle angebracht werden. In diesem Falle werden zusätzliche Verbindungsmittel zur Anbringung der Vorrichtung an der Außenhülle benötigt, wie Verschraubungen oder Kleber. Solche zusätzlichen Verbindungsmittel sind auch bei Auf- oder Anliegen der Abdichtung möglich, jedoch nicht notwendig.If the cover layer is designed in combination with a housing, however, the device according to the invention can also be attached to flat surfaces of the outer shell. In this case, additional connecting means are required for attaching the device to the outer shell, such as screw connections or glue. Such additional connecting means are also possible when the seal is in place or in contact, but not necessary.

Wird das erfindungsgemäße System aus Fahrzeug und Vorrichtung im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs verwendet, kann die vorgenannte gleichmäßige Fläche dann als ebener Bodenraum beispielsweise für die Fahrgastzelle verwendet werden. Durch die Integration zwischen den Aufbauten, beispielsweise Drehstabtunnel, wird der vorher unebene Innenraum eben abgedeckt. Die effektive Bodenfreiheit wird dadurch nicht verringert.If the system according to the invention comprising the vehicle and device is used in the interior of the vehicle, the aforementioned uniform surface can then be used as a flat floor space, for example for the passenger compartment. Thanks to the integration between the superstructures, for example a torsion bar tunnel, the previously uneven interior is evenly covered. This does not reduce the effective ground clearance.

Durch die Verwendung von Leichtmetall wird ein geringes Gewicht der Vorrichtung sichergestellt. Durch geschlossene Profile der Vorrichtung ist eine gute Verbindung auf der Decklage bzw. auf dem Fahrzeugboden realisierbar.The use of light metal ensures a low weight of the device. A good connection on the top layer or on the vehicle floor can be achieved through closed profiles of the device.

In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein weiteres Verstärkungsblech, sinnbildlich auch für eine Minenschutzplatte, auf der der Vorrichtung gegenüber liegenden Seite der Außenhülle vorgesehen. Somit ist die Außenhülle dann zwischen dem Verstärkungsblech und der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung eingeschlossen. Das Verstärkungsblech dient dann dazu, zusätzliche Energieaufnahmen zu gewährleisten, wenn die Energieabsorption der Vorrichtung nicht ausreicht. Dies ist insbesondere hilfreich bei Energieeinwirkungen von EFP-Munition, da hierbei die Wirkung von Splittern und EFPs deutlich durch die Rohr-Schottung reduziert bzw. gestoppt wird. Auch kann ein Fahrzeug mit vorhandenem Minenschutz durch die Integration der Vorrichtung weiter verstärkt werden.In a preferred exemplary embodiment, a further reinforcement plate, symbolically also for a mine protection plate, is provided on the side of the outer casing opposite the device. Thus, the outer shell is then enclosed between the reinforcement plate and the device according to the invention. The reinforcement plate then serves to ensure additional energy absorption when the energy absorption of the device is insufficient. This is particularly helpful in the case of energy effects from EFP ammunition, since the effect of splinters and EFPs is significantly reduced or stopped by the pipe containment. A vehicle with existing mine protection can also be further strengthened by integrating the device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann somit im Innen- und Außenbereich des zu schützenden Objekts oder Fahrzeugs angebracht werden. So kann es bei Fahrzeugen im Boden-, Decken-, und/oder Seitenbereich vorgesehen sein.The device according to the invention can thus be attached in the interior and exterior of the object or vehicle to be protected. In the case of vehicles, for example, it can be provided in the floor, ceiling and / or side area.

Wird nun bei einem erfindungsgemäßen System, beispielsweise durch eine Mine, Energie in das Fahrzeug eingeleitet, wird zunächst durch die Einlage aus Gummi oder Hartschaum (siehe Fig. 1) die Energiespitze absorbiert. Die Einlage muss dazu eine gewisse Elastizität aufweisen, um solche Energiespitzen aufnehmen zu können. Erfindungsgemäß können hierzu mehrere Einlagen pro Vorrichtung vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise bei Verwendung eines Verstärkungsblechs zwischen Verstärkungsblech und Außenhülle.If energy is now introduced into the vehicle in a system according to the invention, for example through a mine, the insert made of rubber or rigid foam (see FIG Fig. 1 ) absorbs the energy peak. For this purpose, the insert must have a certain elasticity in order to be able to absorb such energy peaks. According to the invention, several inserts can be provided per device for this purpose, for example when using a reinforcement plate between the reinforcement plate and the outer shell.

Die übrige Energie wird dann durch die Außenhülle des Fahrzeugs in die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung eingeleitet und verformt nun die in der Vorrichtung befindlichen Profile. Durch die Verformungsenergie geschieht eine Energieabsorption, welche optimalerweise vollständig ist. Durch diese Energieabsorption wird ein Schutz der Insassen gewährleistet.The remaining energy is then introduced through the outer shell of the vehicle into the device according to the invention and now deforms the profiles located in the device. The deformation energy causes an energy absorption which is optimally complete. This energy absorption ensures that the occupants are protected.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung, welche bereits in dem Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Aufbauten 21, in diesem Fall Drehstabtunnel für Drehstäbe 20 eingebracht ist. Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a device according to the invention, which is already introduced in the space between two structures 21, in this case a torsion bar tunnel for torsion bars 20.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungen der Profile 11 sind beispielhafte Ausführungen. Es sollen in dieser Figur die unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten einer Profilgestaltung aufgezeigt werden. Somit ist das Ausführungsbeispiel aus Figur 1 kein realistisches Ausführungsbeispiel, welches beispielsweise bei einem Fahrzeug zur Anwendung kommen würde, sondern lediglich zur beispielhaften Darstellung gedacht. Trotzdem können auch in einem Realfall verschiedenartige Profile 11 kombiniert werden.In the Fig. 1 The embodiments of the profiles 11 shown are exemplary embodiments. The different possibilities of a profile design are to be shown in this figure. The exemplary embodiment is thus over Figure 1 not a realistic exemplary embodiment that would be used, for example, in a vehicle, but merely intended as an example. Nevertheless, different types of profiles 11 can also be combined in a real case.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Profile 11 sind alle samt Hohlprofile und Rechteckprofile. Um die Energieabsorptionsfähigkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung variabel zu gestalten, sind nun verschiedene Ausgestaltungen der Profile 11 möglich. Diese dienen zur Einstellung der Steifigkeit der Vorrichtung und zur Einstellung der Energiemenge, die zu einer Verformung notwendig ist.In the Fig. 1 Profiles 11 shown are all including hollow profiles and rectangular profiles. In order to make the energy absorption capacity of the device according to the invention variable, different configurations of the profiles 11 are now possible. These are used to set the Rigidity of the device and for adjusting the amount of energy necessary for deformation.

Die Hohlräume der Profile 11 können dazu unterschiedlich genutzt werden. So kann ein zusätzliches Element aus dem gleichen oder aus weiteren Materialien als das des Profils 11 in den Hohlraum vorgesehen sein, wie beispielsweise ein Flachprofil 1, das entweder einlagig oder als mehrlagiges Flachprofil 2 ausgebildet. Ebenso kann ein weiteres Hohlprofil 3 als zusätzliches Element aus dem gleichen oder einem anderen Material in diesem Profil 11 vorgesehen sein, was auch als Mehreckprofil 4 ausgebildet sein kann.The cavities of the profiles 11 can be used in different ways. For example, an additional element made of the same or other materials than that of the profile 11 can be provided in the cavity, such as a flat profile 1, which is either a single-layer or a multi-layer flat profile 2. Likewise, a further hollow profile 3 can be provided as an additional element made of the same or a different material in this profile 11, which can also be designed as a polygonal profile 4.

Die Hohlprofile 11 können doppelwandige Hohlprofile 5, 6 ausgeführt sein, wobei das doppelwandige Hohlprofil entweder zentrisch 5 oder versetzt 6 eingebracht sein kann. Auch ein zusätzliches Innenprofil 7, beispielsweise ein Kreuzprofil, innerhalb des Profils 11 ist denkbar.The hollow profiles 11 can be designed as double-walled hollow profiles 5, 6, wherein the double-walled hollow profile can be introduced either centrally 5 or 6 offset. An additional inner profile 7, for example a cross profile, within the profile 11 is also conceivable.

Die im Profil 11 entstehenden Hohlräume in der Ausführung als Hohlprofil können mit einer Füllung, bevorzugt mit einer strukturierten Füllung 8 gefüllt sein, beispielsweise mit Aluminiumschaum. Egal ob die Profile 11 mit einer Füllung versehen sind, oder aus einer der anderen vorgenannten Variationen bestehen, können bei Verwendung der Profile 11 als Hohlprofile die entstehenden Zwischenräume mit einer oder mehreren Versorgungsleitungen 9 versehen werden.The hollow spaces created in the profile 11 in the embodiment as a hollow profile can be filled with a filling, preferably with a structured filling 8, for example with aluminum foam. Regardless of whether the profiles 11 are provided with a filling or consist of one of the other aforementioned variations, when the profiles 11 are used as hollow profiles, the resulting spaces can be provided with one or more supply lines 9.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung umfasst eine Einlage 10 aus Gummi oder Hartschaum. Diese Einlage 10 ist dafür da, Energiespitzen aufzunehmen. Dazu umfassen die Einlage 10 und die Decklage 12 die Profile 11. Die Einlage 10 kann aber auch parallel zur Decklage 12 verlaufen, dann also zwischen Decklage 12 und Profilen 11 oder auch umlaufend um die Profile 11.The device according to the invention comprises an insert 10 made of rubber or rigid foam. This insert 10 is there to absorb energy peaks. For this purpose, the insert 10 and the cover layer 12 comprise the profiles 11. The insert 10 can, however, also run parallel to the cover layer 12, then between the cover layer 12 and the profiles 11 or also around the profiles 11.

So ausgestaltet passt sich die Vorrichtung genau in den Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Aufbauten 21 ein. Die Einlagen 10 befinden sich dabei dann zwischen der Decklage 12 und der Außenhülle 22.When configured in this way, the device fits exactly into the space between two superstructures 21. The inserts 10 are then located between the cover layer 12 and the outer shell 22.

In Fig. 2 ist nochmals eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in einem Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Aufbauten 21 gezeigt, wobei wieder Drehstabtunnel zur Aufnahme von Drehstäben 20 als Aufbauten 21 gezeigt sind. In dieser Figur werden lediglich gleichartige Hohlprofile als Profile 11 gezeigt sind. In dieser Figur werden lediglich gleichartige Hohlprofile als Profile 11 gezeigt. Die ebenfalls gezeigte Außenhülle 22 des Fahrzeugs besitzt in diesem Falle die Aufbauten 21 auf der Innenseite der Außenhülle 22. Auf der der Vorrichtung gegenüber liegenden Seite der Außenhülle 22 ist in Fig. 2 ein weiteres Verstärkungsblech 30 gezeigt. Dies kann zur Erhöhung der Absorptionsfähigkeit genutzt werden.In Fig. 2 a device according to the invention is shown again in a space between two superstructures 21, with torsion bar tunnels for receiving torsion bars 20 as superstructures 21 being shown again. In this figure, only similar hollow profiles are shown as profiles 11. In this figure, only similar hollow profiles are shown as profiles 11. The also shown outer shell 22 of the vehicle has in this case Superstructures 21 on the inside of the outer shell 22. On the side of the outer shell 22 opposite the device, FIG Fig. 2 another reinforcement plate 30 is shown. This can be used to increase the absorption capacity.

In Fig. 3 ist ein ähnlicher Aufbau wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Allerdings ist hier eine weitere Einlage 10 gezeigt und zwar zwischen Verstärkungsblech 30 und Außenhülle 22. Verstärkungsblech 30 sowie die Einlage 10 können dabei recht flach gehalten werden, um unnötigen Platzbedarf zu vermeiden.In Fig. 3 is a structure similar to that in Fig. 2 shown. However, a further insert 10 is shown here, namely between the reinforcement plate 30 and the outer shell 22. The reinforcement plate 30 and the insert 10 can be kept quite flat in order to avoid unnecessary space requirements.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die oben genannten Merkmale beschränkt, vielmehr sind weitere Ausgestaltungen denkbar. So können beispielsweise für die Profile Rundprofile verwendet werden und die Zwischenräume zwischen den Rundprofilen mit einer Füllung versehen werden. Weiterhin ist es denkbar, das Verstärkungsblech wabenförmig zu gestalten. Zuletzt kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch an Objekten oder Fahrzeugen mit bereits vorhandenen Minenschutzvorrichtungen aus dem Stand der Technik kombiniert werden.The present invention is not limited to the features mentioned above; rather, further refinements are conceivable. For example, round profiles can be used for the profiles and the spaces between the round profiles can be filled. It is also conceivable to design the reinforcement plate in a honeycomb shape. Finally, the device according to the invention can also be combined on objects or vehicles with existing mine protection devices from the prior art.
