Abstract

The joint, allowing relative movement between the sections, consists of an elastic envelope (3) supported by at least one semi-rigid plate (4). The elastic element is fixed to both camouflage cover sections (5,6), and the semi-rigid plates are joined to one of them, with the number of plates being equal to the number of sides on the cover section to which they are attached.During operation the free ends of the semi-rigid plates are able to slide between the elastic envelope and the opposite camouflage cover section, ensuring a continuous surface between moving elements of an armoured vehicle, such as a gun and turret.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de liaison entre deux sections d'une enveloppe de camouflage discontinue d'un véhicule. The invention relates to a device for connecting two sections of a discontinuous camouflage envelope of a vehicle.

Pour permettre la réduction de la signature thermique de la tourelle et de la caisse d'un char, il est primordial de limiter les émissions de chaleur vers l'extérieur du char.Ceci est obtenu grâce à des dispositifs de camouflage efficaces dans le domaine infra-rouge, pouvant être multispectraux et un système de ventilation forcée entre structure du char et son enveloppe de camouflage ou double paroi. To reduce the thermal signature of the turret and the body of a tank, it is essential to limit the heat emissions to the outside of the tank. This is achieved thanks to effective camouflage devices in the infra field. -red, which can be multispectral and a forced ventilation system between the tank structure and its camouflage envelope or double wall.

La double paroi est discontinue, en particulier en des zones qui correspondent à des parties de véhicule qui sont mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre et qui ne sont pas dans l'alignement l'une de l'autre, telles que par exemple la tourelle et le masque d'un char.Or cette double paroi doit être le plus hermétique possible, à l'exception des zones d'entrée et de sortie d'air qu'elle présente et doit conserver intactes les fonctionnalités de la tourelle et de la caisse du char. The double wall is discontinuous, in particular in areas which correspond to vehicle parts which are movable with respect to one another and which are not in alignment with each other, such as by example the turret and the mask of a tank. This double wall must be as airtight as possible, with the exception of the air inlet and outlet areas it presents and must keep the functionality of the turret intact. and the tank body.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de liaison entre deux sections d'une enveloppe de camouflage rigide discontinue, pouvant être placé dans les zones de discontinuité et gardant ainsi intactes les fonctionnalités du véhicule. The object of the invention is to propose a connecting device between two sections of a discontinuous rigid camouflage casing, which can be placed in the discontinuity zones and thus keeping the functionality of the vehicle intact.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de liaison entre deux sections d'une enveloppe de camouflage ou double parois rigide discontinue, recouvrant chacune deux parties voisines non alignées de véhicule, dont l'une est mobile par rapport à l'autre, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par une enveloppe élastique soutenue par au moins une plaque semirigide. The invention therefore relates to a connecting device between two sections of a camouflage envelope or rigid double wall discontinuous, each covering two adjacent non-aligned vehicle parts, one of which is movable relative to the other, characterized in that it is constituted by an elastic envelope supported by at least one semi-rigid plate.

Selon un mode préferé de realisation de l'invention, l'enveloppe élastique est fixée de part et d'autre aux deux sections de double paroi. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the elastic envelope is fixed on either side to the two double wall sections.

De préférence, la ou les plaques semi-rigides sont fixées à une section de double paroi. Preferably, the semi-rigid plate or plates are fixed to a double wall section.

Avantageusement, le nombre de plaques semi-rigides est égal au nombre de côtes de la section de double paroi à laquelle elles sont fixées.  Advantageously, the number of semi-rigid plates is equal to the number of ribs of the double wall section to which they are fixed.

La ou les plaques semi-rigides sont de préférence équipées d'un rebord pour assurer la continuité de la double paroi en position extrême. The semi-rigid plate or plates are preferably equipped with a flange to ensure the continuity of the double wall in the extreme position.

Le dispositif de liaison trouve son application dans la jonction de la discontinuité existant entre la section de double paroi recouvrant la tourelle et la section de double paroi recouvrant le masque d'un char. The connecting device finds its application in the junction of the discontinuity existing between the double wall section covering the turret and the double wall section covering the mask of a tank.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préférentiel, donné à titre illustratif et non limitatif, faite en relation avec les figures annexées, parmi lesquelles
-la figure 1 représente un dispositif de liaison selon l'invention;
-la figure 2 représente une application du dispositif selon l'invention à une liaison entre sections de double paroi recouvrant d'une part la tourelle, d'autre part le masque d'un char.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment, given by way of illustration and not limitation, made in relation to the appended figures, among which
FIG. 1 represents a connection device according to the invention;
FIG. 2 represents an application of the device according to the invention to a connection between double wall sections covering on the one hand the turret, on the other hand the mask of a tank.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté une double paroi 1 pouvant équiper un véhicule, et présentant une discontinuité 2 entre deux sections 5 et 6 recouvrant deux parties de véhicule non situées dans l'alignement l'une de l'autre. L ' une des deux parties du véhicule camouflé est mobile par rapport à l'autre au niveau de cette discontinuité. In Figure 1, there is shown a double wall 1 can be fitted to a vehicle, and having a discontinuity 2 between two sections 5 and 6 covering two vehicle parts not located in alignment with one another. One of the two parts of the camouflaged vehicle is movable relative to the other at this discontinuity.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de joindre les deux sections de la double paroi au niveau de cette discontinuité 2 et est constitué par une enveloppe élastique 3 soutenue par des plaques semi-rigides 4. The device according to the invention makes it possible to join the two sections of the double wall at the level of this discontinuity 2 and is constituted by an elastic envelope 3 supported by semi-rigid plates 4.

L'enveloppe élastique relie les deux sections 5 et 6 de la double paroi et est fixée à celles-ci par des moyens 8 de vissage, collage, sertissage, clipsage, emboitement, pincement ou tout autre type de liaison ou combinaison de plusieurs types de liaisons.Elle assure la continuité de la double paroi rigide. The elastic envelope connects the two sections 5 and 6 of the double wall and is fixed to these by means 8 of screwing, gluing, crimping, clipping, interlocking, pinching or any other type of connection or combination of several types of It ensures the continuity of the rigid double wall.

Lors du mouvement de la partie mobile, les plaques semirigides glissent entre la double paroi et l'enveloppe élastique.  During the movement of the mobile part, the semi-rigid plates slide between the double wall and the elastic envelope.

Les plaques semi-rigides présentent un rebord incliné 7 assurant la continuité de la double paroi lors d'un mouvement extrême de la partie mobile. The semi-rigid plates have an inclined rim 7 ensuring the continuity of the double wall during an extreme movement of the mobile part.

Les plaques semi-rigides confèrent à l'enveloppe élastique une résistance mécanique.Elles sont constituées dans un matériau tel qu'elles contribuent aux réductions de signatures infra-rouge et radar des formes du véhicule. The semi-rigid plates give the elastic envelope mechanical strength and are made of a material such that they contribute to reductions in infrared and radar signatures of the vehicle's shapes.

Elles évitent les effets de poche de l'enveloppe élastique en maintenant les surfaces de l'enveloppe élastique proches des plans de référence formés par la structure du véhicule. They avoid the pocket effects of the elastic envelope by keeping the surfaces of the elastic envelope close to the reference planes formed by the structure of the vehicle.

Les plaques semi-rigides sont fixées de la même manière que l'enveloppe élastique mais à l'une des deux sections de la double paroi seulement,pouvant être celle qui recouvre la partie mobile ou la partie fixe.On choisit la configuration la mieux adaptée. The semi-rigid plates are fixed in the same way as the elastic envelope but to one of the two sections of the double wall only, which can be the one that covers the mobile part or the fixed part. We choose the most suitable configuration .

Le nombre de plaques semi-rigides utilisées dans un dispositif de liaison selon l'invention est égal au nombre de cotés présentés par la section de double paroi qui les maintient. The number of semi-rigid plates used in a connection device according to the invention is equal to the number of sides presented by the double wall section which holds them.

Les plaques semi-rigides peuvent recevoir une trame conductrice pour assurer une continuité électrique. The semi-rigid plates can receive a conductive frame to ensure electrical continuity.

La figure 2a représente une structure de véhicule constituée par une tourelle 8 et un masque 9 supportant un canon 10. FIG. 2a represents a vehicle structure constituted by a turret 8 and a mask 9 supporting a gun 10.

La tourelle et le masque sont recouverts respectivement par deux sections 5 et 6 d'une double paroi 1 présentant une zone de discontinuité 2 correspondant à l'articulation du masque par rapport à la tourelle. The turret and the mask are covered respectively by two sections 5 and 6 with a double wall 1 having a discontinuity zone 2 corresponding to the articulation of the mask with respect to the turret.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué par une enveloppe élastique 3 et des plaques semi-rigides 4 dont une seule est visible sur la figure 2. The device according to the invention consists of an elastic envelope 3 and semi-rigid plates 4 of which only one is visible in FIG. 2.

L'enveloppe élastique est fixée en deux endroits, d'une part à la section 6 de double paroi recouvrant le masque, d'autre part à la section 5 de double paroi recouvrant la tourelle. The elastic envelope is fixed in two places, on the one hand to the section 6 of double wall covering the mask, on the other hand to the section 5 of double wall covering the turret.

Les plaques semi-rigides sont dans ce mode de réalisation fixées du côté de la tourelle.  The semi-rigid plates are in this embodiment fixed on the side of the turret.

La figure 2b représente la liaison masque-tourelle dans une configuration de débattement du canon, où les axes de la tourelle et du masque forment un angle de 20 ".  Figure 2b shows the mask-turret connection in a barrel travel configuration, where the axes of the turret and the mask form an angle of 20 ".

Lors du mouvement du masque par rapport à la tourelle, les plaques semi-rigides glissent le long de la section 6 de double paroi recouvrant le masque. During the movement of the mask relative to the turret, the semi-rigid plates slide along the section 6 of double wall covering the mask.

La figure 2c représente la liaison masque-tourelle dans une configuration extrême de débattement du canon, où les axes de la tourelle et du masque forment un angle de -8 . Le rebord 7 de la plaque semi-rigide assure la continuité de la section 5 de double paroi recouvrant la tourelle avec la section 6 de double paroi recouvrant le masque.  FIG. 2c represents the mask-turret connection in an extreme configuration of travel of the barrel, where the axes of the turret and of the mask form an angle of -8. The rim 7 of the semi-rigid plate ensures the continuity of the double wall section 5 covering the turret with the double wall section 6 covering the mask.
