Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the safe dismantling of recovered ordnance, ammunition, ammunition parts and the like.
  • Delaboration includes the process from salvage to transport, shredding to destruction, for example by incineration.
  • the ammunition poses a great danger.
  • chemical substances such as war gases
  • Ships can also come into contact with the ammunition and inadvertently trigger it.
  • the chain connecting the mine to the ground will be separated and the mine will become a floating mine and can thus also reach areas that are thought to be safe, for example a fairway. Resigned and to the White phosphorus washed up on beaches regularly causes injuries. Therefore, it would be desirable to remove all objects.
  • a decision must be made after an inspection as to whether the object is transportable or can be made. For example, duds can be made transportable by removing the detonator if necessary. In Germany, the decision to assess whether an object is transportable is a sovereign task that can be performed, for example, by explosive ordnance clearance services on behalf of the state government.
  • the object of the invention is to create a device that allows safe dismantling and, in particular, the comminution of the objects at sea.
  • the delaboration chamber according to the invention has an outer housing.
  • the outer housing can be closed with a removable cover.
  • the delaboration chamber has an inner floor, with a first chamber area being formed below the inner floor by the inner floor and the outer housing.
  • the first chamber area is preferably closed.
  • the first chamber area is filled with a flowable or solid medium.
  • the first chamber area is filled with concrete, sand or water.
  • the delaboration chamber has a second chamber region, which is delimited by the inner floor and the removable cover and, in between, by the outer wall of the delaboration chamber.
  • the second chamber area is thus the effective working space used within the delaboration chamber.
  • the inner floor has a recess for receiving an explosive object.
  • the depression divides the second chamber area into an upper second chamber area and a lower second chamber area.
  • the upper second chamber area is completely above the inner floor
  • the lower second chamber area is delimited laterally and downwards by the inner floor and is only open at the top and connected there to the upper second chamber area.
  • the explosive object (ordnance) is entirely within the cavity and thus within the lower second chamber area.
  • the depression and thus the lower second chamber area is shaped in such a way that even the largest explosive object to be accommodated (the ordnance) is arranged completely within the depression and thus within the lower second chamber area and is thus completely surrounded laterally by the first chamber area .
  • the recess is laterally surrounded by the first chamber area.
  • the cover has a pressure relief, the pressure relief having at least one deflection for the detonation gases produced when an explosive object explodes.
  • the purpose of the pressure relief is to divert the gases and pressures produced by a detonation in a targeted manner. Despite the high pressure, these gases need to be diverted to prevent shrapnel from escaping the delaboration chamber and damaging other equipment or even injuring personnel.
  • a connection which also in the event of a shock, for example the explosion of an explosive object (ordnance) inside or an explosion outside, for example by Fire (rather in the case of a warship) withstands the load and also ensures a secure connection even after the impact of the shock.
  • the forces acting in the event of a shock are specified, for example, by legal requirements, corresponding standards and customer specifications.
  • a deflection within the meaning of the invention is any device which deflects a gas flow and thus prevents the gas flow from being guided in a straight line.
  • the reason for this is that shrapnel, for example, moves in a straight line after a detonation and should not escape through the pressure relief.
  • the pressure relief can be designed, for example, in a spiral shape or as a labyrinth with right-angled deflections.
  • a removable cover can be lifted, folded or pushed within the meaning of the invention, for example. It is essential that the cover can be removed in such a way that an ordnance can be lifted into the delaboration chamber from above. After closing, however, the cover must be firmly connected to the outer housing so that the cover does not become detached from the outer housing even in the event of an accidental detonation of the ordnance. Because that would turn the lid itself into a projectile. Due to the high mechanical requirements when closed, a sliding cover is preferred. For this purpose, the cover is brought horizontally into a position next to the delaboration chamber in order to open the delaboration chamber. The cover can either be part of the top of the delaboration chamber. The lid can alternatively form the entire top of the delaboration chamber. The cover can also be designed in such a way that it not only forms the entire upper side of the delaboration chamber, but also parts of the vertical wall of the outer housing of the delaboration chamber.
  • a flowable medium in addition to liquids, a flowable medium also includes flowable solids, in particular loose beds.
  • flowable solids in particular loose beds.
  • sand or gravel are a flowable medium within the meaning of the invention. In the event of a shock, deformation is possible due to a flowable medium, while at the same time power transmission is still possible.
  • the outer housing and the cover preferably have at least protection against 20 mm "Fragment Simulating Projectiles (FSP)" according to MIL-DTL-46593.
  • the weight of the shrapnel is approximately 54 g, with shrapnel having a defined kinetic energy, for example at least 67 kJ, having to be held back safely.
  • the protective effect can be influenced in both directions by adapting the design and the choice of materials, so that depending on the size of objects, different chambers could also be used. Significantly higher protection classes would therefore also be conceivable. This makes sense, since the large amount of ordnance is rather small, but the few large ordnance are comparatively problematic.
  • the recess has a receiving position for a pallet.
  • the pick-up position preferably ensures that the pallet and, with the pallet, an ordnance introduced on the pallet are in a predefined position in the delaboration chamber, in particular in a defined position relative to a cutting device.
  • the pick-up position has guide elements in order to guide a pallet into a predefined position within the depression when it is introduced. The weapon is thus brought into a fixed spatial relationship with other components, such as a cutting device.
  • the inner base is a removable base container, as a result of which the first chamber region is formed by inserting the base container.
  • the bottom container particularly preferably has a closable opening, preferably made at a high point, for example in a wall of the bottom container, in order to be able to fill a medium or a precursor forming the medium into the first chamber area.
  • a precursor forming the medium can be liquid concrete that has not yet hardened or a monomer or oligomer which is polymerized in the first chamber region.
  • the hardened medium itself can also cause the opening to close.
  • the inner floor and the first chamber area are formed by a chamber container.
  • the chamber container is a hollow body that can be filled with water or sand, for example, preferably after it has been inserted into the delaboration chamber.
  • the chamber container preferably has a closable opening, which is preferably arranged at a high point of the chamber container.
  • the cover is designed as a hollow body which can be filled with a flowable medium.
  • the cavity in the lid can itself be designed to be leak-tight for the flowable medium, or the medium is introduced into the cavity in a container, for example a leak-proof bag.
  • a cover designed as a hollow body particularly preferably has additional stiffeners between the upper side and the underside, for example in the form of ring stiffeners or diagonal stiffeners.
  • the pressure relief is in this embodiment connected between the top and bottom of the lid to allow gas passage.
  • a fire-retardant medium is particularly preferably used here as the flowable medium, in the simplest case water.
  • the delaboration chamber has at least one separating device.
  • the separating device is preferably a cutting device. More preferably, the cutting device is a water jet device. Alternatively, preferably, the cutting device is a band saw. In a further embodiment, the delaboration chamber has two cutting devices, one being designed as a water jet device and the other as a band saw.
  • the delaboration chamber has a water outlet, with the water outlet preferably running through the inner base, the first chamber region and the outer housing.
  • the pressure pump for generating the water under high pressure is preferably arranged outside the delaboration chamber. The pressure pump is preferably arranged below the top level of the inner floor. The pressure pump is thus protected particularly efficiently against pressure waves.
  • a pressure pump can also submerge two or more cutting devices in two or more delaboration chambers with water supply high pressure.
  • the cutting device is particularly preferably remotely controllable and can be operated from a remote control device.
  • the cutting device is connected to a gripping device.
  • the cutting device and the gripping device are preferably arranged on a robot arm.
  • the gripping device creates a non-positive connection to the munitions, so that the forces generated when the munitions are cut through by the cutting device are not dissipated by the robot arm, but directly into the munitions. This is particularly preferred when dividing large and heavy ordnance.
  • the delaboration chamber has at least one first chamber lifting device.
  • the chamber lifting device is used to lift out of the recess ammunition parts that have been severed from an ordnance.
  • the pressure relief is ensured by one or more outlet openings in the cover, it being possible for the outlet openings to be preferably designed as predetermined breaking points.
  • the outlet openings can be circular, for example.
  • the predetermined breaking point fails at a defined gas pressure as a result of an unwanted detonation during delaboration and releases a nozzle-shaped outlet.
  • Various metal sheets are arranged in the nozzle-shaped outlet, which, in their function as baffles, ensure that the resulting explosive gas is deflected and slowed down. As a result, the resulting explosion gases escape upwards in a targeted manner, so that the neighboring components of the delaboration platform are protected.
  • the arrangement of the guide plates in the outlet also provides protection against the escape of shrapnel.
  • the predetermined breaking point can be circular.
  • the predetermined breaking point is movably fastened to the cover and prevented from moving via an overload safety device, the overload safety device being dimensioned in such a way that it fails when pressure is applied before the cover gives way overall.
  • the overload safety device may be a hinged cover secured against rotation with a shear pin.
  • the inner base has a flat storage surface, the storage surface being arranged above the depression for receiving an explosive object (ordnance).
  • ammunition fragments can be stored in an area not directly affected by a detonation and the chance is increased that they may not be deployed during the detonation, thereby reducing the overall damage.
  • the delaboration chamber is connected to a gas cleaning system.
  • the munition is a weapon containing a chemical warfare agent
  • the air is fed into a combustion chamber or directly into a torch via a simple suction system and rendered harmless by burning.
  • filters for example activated carbon filters, can be used.
  • the pressure relief is connected to a gas cleaning system.
  • the delaboration chamber has an X-ray device.
  • the x-ray device is used to identify ordnance that contains ordnance that cannot or should not be processed in the delaboration chamber and to refrain from crushing this ordnance.
  • ordnance identified in this way can be incendiary bombs with white phosphorus, which would start burning on contact with air.
  • chemical warfare agents can be identified which cannot be safely destroyed by the facilities.
  • the delaboration chamber has at least one sensor for detecting unconventional warfare agents.
  • the sensor for detecting unconventional warfare agents is designed to detect a warfare agent from the group of ABC warfare agents. If a release occurs within the decontamination chamber, which is detected by the sensor for detecting unconventional warfare agents, the decontamination chamber can preferably remain closed until decontamination.
  • the sensor can preferably be arranged in the suction system.
  • the delaboration chamber has a lifting platform on which ammunition parts can be placed directly or in containers, in particular in combustible boxes, in particular in cardboard boxes. After opening the cover, the lifting platform can then accept the ammunition parts, for example at the level of the cover, so that they can be removed more easily.
  • the lifting platform can be connected to a conveyor system, for example a roller conveyor system, in order to transport the ammunition parts further.
  • the first chamber area and the outer housing can also form a unit in a further embodiment of the invention, for example by pouring liquid concrete into the outer housing and Curing connects to the outer case.
  • a solid medium for example concrete
  • the invention relates to a buoyant delaboration platform.
  • a buoyant platform within the meaning of the invention can be, for example, a ship, a pontoon, a barge, a raft, a semi-submersible platform or a jack-up platform.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform has at least one first lifting device, at least one first dismantling chamber according to the invention and at least one first destruction system, for example and preferably an incineration device.
  • buoyant delaboration platform The great advantage of such a buoyant delaboration platform is, on the one hand, that the number of times a weapon has to be transported until it is finally destroyed is reduced to a minimum, thus reducing the risk of an unwanted detonation.
  • objects, such as chemical warfare agents, found outside the 12-mile zone can be destroyed without having to import them into a country.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform has at least a first platform area and a second platform area.
  • the at least one first delaboration chamber is arranged in the first platform area and the at least one destruction unit, preferably the first combustion device, is arranged in the second platform area.
  • At least one first protective element is arranged between the first platform area and the second platform area, wherein the at least one first protective element has a surface.
  • the surface of the protective element has an angle of 120° to 150° to the surface of the first platform area and an angle of 30° to 60° to the surface of the second platform area.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform has a transport device for transporting ammunition parts from the at least one first dismantling chamber to the at least one first combustion device.
  • the transport device can, for example, be a conveyor belt, transport rail or other continuous device Be a transport system on which the ammunition parts rest directly or transport containers in which the ammunition parts are located.
  • the conveyor belt can be controlled automatically.
  • the buoyant delaboration platform has double bulkheads and/or static bulkheads and/or reinforced structures within the delaboration platform. This serves to limit the impact on an area of the delaboration platform in the event of a damage event.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform has at least one first pre-disassembly dismantling chamber in addition to the at least one first dismantling chamber according to the invention.
  • the at least one first pre-decomposition delaboration chamber is constructed in principle like the delaboration chamber according to the invention.
  • large ordnance is first introduced into the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber and coarsely comminuted there, in particular with a band saw into slices of uniform width.
  • the large ordnance dismantled in this way is then transferred from the first pre-dismantling delaboration chamber to the first delaboration chamber, where it is further reduced to the size required for final destruction.
  • the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber and the first disassembly chamber differ preferably by a different separating device for comminuting the ordnance.
  • the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber has a cutting device in the form of a band saw, which is suitable for slicing even large objects, for example sea mines or bombs weighing more than one ton, into slices of uniform thickness.
  • the first disassembly chamber then preferably has a smaller separating device than the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber, which is designed to further disassemble the slices that were produced in the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber.
  • ordnance which are in particular smaller than the slices that are produced in the first pre-disassembly delaboration chamber, can be introduced directly into the delaboration chamber. This means that munitions of very different sizes can be processed easily.
  • the first pre-disassembly delaboration chamber can, for example, dispense with a device for transporting the ordnance.
  • the ordnance can be brought into the first pre-disassembly delaboration chamber on a pallet and disassembled on this pallet. All slices can then be brought together on the pallet from the first pre-disassembly disassembly chamber together into the first disassembly chamber by means of the pallet.
  • they can be lifted from the first pre-disassembly delaboration chamber into the first delaboration chamber using a lifting device, or they can be transported between the two chambers by means of a conveyor belt or a roller conveyor.
  • the first delaboration chamber has, for example, a device for isolating the parts of the munitions in order to then be able to send them to destruction, in particular to incineration.
  • a further advantage of this embodiment with at least one first delaboration chamber and at least one first pre-decomposition delaboration chamber is that the numerical ratio between the pre-decomposition delaboration chambers and the delaboration chambers can be adjusted to the expected size distribution. If one were to assume, for example, that in terms of weight only less than 25% of the ordnance will be of a size that requires pre-disassembly, four delaboration chambers could be combined with one pre-disassembly delaboration chamber.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform has an intermediate storage facility in which the ammunition sections which have been removed from the dismantling chamber can be temporarily stored.
  • the destruction process can be made more uniform, for example. For example, there is no need to salvage ordnance at night for safety reasons, but an incineration device can continue to be operated continuously.
  • the great advantage of the method according to the invention is that the legal requirements for handling ammunition are met and the transport of a weapon is minimized. It is lifted out of the water in one action and placed directly in the delaboration chamber. Further interim storage and transport can thus be avoided. Every relocation and every transport represents an additional risk that an unwanted detonation will occur.
  • the delaboration chamber is closed during all intermediate steps in the fragmentation of the ordnance, so that all risky steps are carried out in such a way that the protection of the buoyant delaboration platform and the environment has a high priority.
  • the ordnance is then completely dismantled when it has been broken down into such small parts that further processing of all individual parts and thus of the entire ordnance is possible. For example, can be burned in an incinerator without damaging it.
  • the transport of the ammunition parts to at least one first destruction device, in particular a first combustion device, in step i) can also include intermediate storage. This can be used, for example, to equalize the material flow fed, for example, to a kiln.
  • the transport can also take place in several partial steps and also by means of different transport devices.
  • a first transport step can consist of lifting out, which can be done, for example, by means of a crane or a lifting platform.
  • a horizontal conveyor system can also be used, for example.
  • step a) the lifting in step a) can also be carried out by another vessel.
  • step b) there is still a transport to the buoyant delaboration platform.
  • the advantage of this is that the buoyant delaboration platform has to be moved less, the disadvantage is that a second watercraft is required.
  • the fragmentation of the explosive ordnance in step e) within the delaboration chamber is preferably carried out in such a way that the ammunition fragments have a size of 5 kg to 10 kg, which currently represents an optimum. This size can be easily processed by the incinerators currently in use. If the ammunition fragments are too large, the energy released in the short term is too great. Unnecessary dissection is laborious and unnecessary dangerous. However, if other incinerators are used, the size of the ammunition fragments will be adjusted to their specifications.
  • Step f) is repeated until the munition has been dismantled to such an extent that it can be further processed, ie completely dismantled into ammunition parts which can be burned in the combustion device.
  • the size of the ammunition parts is currently 5 kg to 10 kg. If, for example, a weapon weighing 100 kg is to be divided, it can be divided into 10 pieces of ammunition, each weighing 10 kg. Then the ordnance is completely broken down into ammunition parts that can be further processed.
  • step c) the vertical lowering is advantageous.
  • the ordnance is introduced in a single movement not only into the delaboration chamber, but also into the final position within the recess, within the lower second chamber area, without a second movement, for example lateral introduction, being necessary. This can significantly reduce the risk of an unwanted explosion.
  • the at least one first lifting device preferably has a lifting and recovery tool suitable for transporting ordnance.
  • step e) after the fragmentation of the ordnance the ammunition section is moved to a flat surface of the inner floor.
  • this area can also be a transport container that is located inside the delaboration chamber.
  • a fluoroscopy device is placed on the opened delaboration chamber.
  • the ordnance is x-rayed with the x-ray device.
  • the X-ray device is then removed again.
  • the ordnance does not first have to be placed in a screening device or even transported through it. After being dropped, the ordnance remains unmoved. This minimizes the risk of an unwanted detonation during fluoroscopy.
  • the X-rays are used for the X-rays.
  • the X-rays can be generated, for example, by an X-ray tube.
  • a free-electron laser can also be used as a source to provide the necessary energy for x-raying a heavy metal housing.

  • step c) and step d). removed the fluoroscopy device.
  • This embodiment also has the advantage that the ordnance does not have to be additionally introduced into a separate X-ray device and removed from it again. Rather, in this embodiment, it is x-rayed while it is being introduced into the delaboration chamber.
  • the explosive ordnance is lifted out of the water in a transport container in step a) and introduced into the delaboration chamber in the transport container in step c). Then, in step e), it is cut up in the transport container or with the transport container. This means that the ordnance does not have to be reburied again.

  • a lifting device 220 is preferably arranged in the second platform area 260, with which ordnance 90 can be lifted out of the water and introduced directly into the delaboration chambers 10, 11. Due to the positioning of the lifting device 220 in the second platform area 260, the base of the lifting device 220 is also protected by the protective element 270, so that in the event of a detonation, precisely when the ordnance 90 is inserted into a delaboration chamber 10, 11, where the danger is greatest, only a small and easily repairable part of the hoist 220 needs to be repaired or replaced.
  • the buoyant dismantling platform 200 can have a third platform area, which is arranged behind the second platform area 260 and is separated from it by a further protective element 270 .
  • this one Area is the best-protected area, so that quarters 290 for the crew can be arranged here, for example.
  • Other system-relevant components propulsion, communication, radar, possibly sonar for detecting underwater munitions
