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.
  • WO 2007/068020 A1 discloses a transportable system for defusing ammunition containing fluid warfare agents.
  • DE 10 2018 119 339 A1 discloses a method and a device for defusing a dud located under water.
  • DE 39 13 479 C1 discloses a method and a system for dismantling toxic and/or explosive objects, in particular chemical weapons.
  • 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 inner floor has a recess for receiving an explosive object.
  • the explosive object (ord) should be completely within the cavity.
  • This geometry is intended to deflect the pressure wave from the detonation at least partially against the area with the lowest resistance, i.e. upwards.
  • the cover When closed, the cover is connected to the outer housing in a shockproof manner. This keeps the lid in place even in the event of a detonation.
  • the cover has a pressure relief, the pressure relief having at least one deflection for the detonation gases.
  • 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 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.
  • the cover 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.
  • 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 depression 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 recording position Guide elements to guide a pallet when it is brought into a predefined position.
  • 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 deceleration 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. In the embodiment of a water jet device, 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. If the cutting device is a water jet device, 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 supply water under high pressure to two or more cutters in two or more delaboration chambers. 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 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 as a whole gives way.
