DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a land mine disposal machine according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a land mine disposer 1 has a heavy sediment on a tracked vehicle 2 which is a mobile device.
Specifically, a shovel 3 for collecting a predetermined amount of earth and sand, a belt conveyor 4 for moving the earth and sand collected by the shovel 3 to a predetermined height, and a belt conveyor 4 provided at the tip of the belt conveyor 4 and moved to a predetermined height by the belt conveyor 4. A hopper 5 for dropping earth and sand to a predetermined position is mounted.
Here, the shovel 3 is located rearward in the traveling direction of the tracked vehicle 2, and the hopper 5 is located forward in the traveling direction of the tracked vehicle 2.

The land mine disposer 1 constructed as described above is brought into a mine buried area to perform land mine explosion processing. The method is described below.

First, the land mine disposer 1 is disposed in a safe area (area where it is confirmed that no land mine is buried) 6a in the land mine buried area. At this time, the hopper 5 is slightly moved from the boundary between the safety area 6a and the danger area (the area where it is not confirmed that a mine is buried) 6b.
It is positioned at a predetermined height above the position close to b (the prospective position of land mines).

Next, from the rear of the tracked vehicle 2, a shovel 3
And sediment 8 is collected and placed on one end (starting point of movement) of the belt conveyor 4. The earth and sand 8 originally exists in the mine buried area.

The belt conveyor 4 moves the earth and sand 8 loaded by the shovel 3 from one end to the other end (end point of movement) to move it to a predetermined height, and puts it in the hopper 5. At this stage, the potential energy corresponding to the height from the ground is stored in the earth and sand 8.

The hopper 5 causes the earth and sand 8 conveyed by the belt conveyor 4 to drop to a prospective position for land mining.

The earth and sand 8 falls to a position where a mine is to be buried. Immediately before reaching the mine prospecting position, the kinetic energy has a kinetic energy corresponding to the stored potential energy, and the kinetic energy becomes a downward force. Works as if it were heavier. At this time, if the land mine 7 is buried at the position where the land mine is expected to be buried, the land mine 7 explodes due to the kinetic energy caused by the weight and fall of the earth and sand 8.
Scatters. The antipersonnel mine has a relatively weak explosive power, has a distance between the tracked vehicle 2 and the belt conveyor 4 or the hopper 5 of the mine disposal machine 1 and the mine 7, and scatters the earth and sand 8. The mine disposal machine 1 is not damaged by the explosion, and there is little danger. In particular, the danger is further reduced by unmanning the land mine disposer 1 by automating the entire operation or performing remote control. In addition, regardless of the presence or absence of land mines, proceed with the processing without searching for land mines at all, and move, so the safety zone is clear from traces of sediment collection and fall after moving, and there is no land mines The speed of land mine disposal including the meaning of confirming can be improved. on the other hand,
If the mine 7 is not buried, the earth and sand 8 is deposited on the spot. It should be noted that the scattered or deposited earth and sand 8 is originally earth and sand in the area, and does not change the environment in the area.

In front of the tracked vehicle 2, earth and sand 8
Is carried out several times while moving the position of the hopper 5 in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the tracked vehicle 2, at least as many times as can cover the width of the tracked vehicle 2. As a result, a certain area in which the earth and sand 8 has been dropped several times becomes the safety area 6a from the danger area 6b.

When a safety area 6a having a certain area is formed,
The land mine disposer 1 is advanced by a predetermined distance and stopped, and the above-described steps after the positioning of the hopper 5 are performed. By repeating this many times, it is possible to form the safety area 6a having a constant width and a required length. By repeating this process several times, the entire mine buried area can be changed from the dangerous area 6b to the safe area 6a.

As described above, according to the land mine disposal method and the land mine disposal machine of the present invention, land mine disposal can be performed at a high speed and with little danger.

Since the amount of sediment and the height at which the sediment is moved differ depending on the type of land mine, the amount of potential energy to be stored by increasing or decreasing the amount of sediment dropped at one time or moving the hopper up and down as needed is required. It can be increased or decreased.

By the way, in the land mine disposal machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, the belt conveyor 4 is mounted on the endless track vehicle 2 which is a moving device. However, the moving device is not necessarily required, and the belt conveyor 4 is manually operated. It may be moved. Further, the hopper 5 provided at the other end of the belt conveyor 4 is not necessarily required, and the same operation and effect can be obtained by simply dropping the earth and sand from the end of the belt conveyor 4 as it is. Further, the shovel 3 for collecting the earth and sand 8 is not necessarily required to be mounted, and the earth and sand 8 may be mounted on the belt conveyor 4 by human power.

In the above embodiment, the collected soil 8
Was dropped to the expected position of landmine burial as it is, but a step or means of mixing plant seeds at the same time that earth and sand 8 are placed on a belt conveyor after the earth and sand 8 is collected may be provided. In this case, the seeds of the plant are scattered at the same time as the earth and sand 8 by the explosion of the mine. Some of the shattered plant species are damaged, but some may survive. In this way, plant seeds are mixed in the deposited sediment or in the sediment scattered by the explosion of the mine, and after the mine treatment is completed, the seeds of the plant mixed in the sediment germinate and grow, and the mine is treated. The entire area can be greened.

Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to the case where earth and sand are collected from the ground around the land mine disposal machine, a method of bringing earth and sand from outside may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the heavy material is ground sediment, that is, earth and sand. However, the heavy material is not necessarily limited to earth and sand. Anything can be used as long as it can scatter with more energy than necessary due to the explosion of the mine and cause no damage or danger to the surroundings.

[0031]

According to the mine disposal method of the present invention, a predetermined amount of heavy material is collected, moved to a predetermined height above the expected mine burial position, and dropped to the mine buried potential position. By exploding the mine with its own weight and kinetic energy, the mine can be processed at a high speed and with little danger.

Further, according to the land mine disposal means of the present invention, it is possible to achieve greening after land mine disposal by mixing plant seeds into a heavy object to be dropped to a prospective mine burial position.

Further, according to the land mine disposal machine of the present invention, a shovel for collecting a predetermined amount of heavy material, a belt conveyor for transporting the shovel to a predetermined height, a hopper for dropping it to a prospective position of land mine embedding, and By having the mobile device to be mounted, land mines can be processed at a high speed and with little danger.

Further, according to the land mine disposal machine of the present invention, greening after land mine disposal can be achieved by having means for mixing plant seeds into the collected heavy object.
