Description

Description
The invention relates to a system comprising structural elements to be assembled into a protective structure.
Such a protective structure is for example known from WO2010/023359. This document discloses interconnectable structural elements to be assembled into a protective wall. These structural elements can be arranged to be fixed on top of the other or side-by-side for transportation. The structural elements have two wall panels connected to each other with a honeycomb structure, wherein the protection level can be improved with a gravel filling or sand filling after the erection of the structural elements.
A drawback of the known structural elements is the configuration of the structural elements which are made structurally relatively strong by means of the honeycomb structure such that their own strength could be used to enable the selfsupporting capability of the transport package. The honeycomb structure of the structural elements has no or minimal beneficial effects after the erection of the structural elements to provide a protective structure.
It is an object of the system according to the present invention to provide a system comprising interconnectable structural elements that can be transported, wherein the interconnectable structural elements have a configuration providing an improved protective structure
This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. The system comprises structural elements to be assembled into a protective structure, wherein each structural element comprises a frame and a number of wall panels which are ballistic impact proof and/or provide force protection, wherein at least a portion of the wall panels is attached or is to be attached to the frame, wherein the panels are connected side by side on the frame without any space between the panels. Such a system provides a maximal impact proof and force protective structure without requiring any additional actions such as for example a gravel filling or sand filling.
In addition, it is possible in this system to replace the wall panels for example for maintenance without requiring the replace the complete structural element of the system. Maintenance is also possible for only some of the panels of a single structural element if required.
The wall panels can be connected to each other and/or to the frame with a form fit and/or a frictional connection. A column and/or a row of the wall panels can be attached to the frame by clamping force or by fixation for example by using bolts to fixate at least a portion of the wall panels to the frame. In this way it is no longer required to attach each wall panel individually to the frame. At least a portion of the wall panels and the frame can be connected by a male and female connection. Further, it is possible to use a male and female connection to connect the wall panels to each other. Preferably, the wall panels are detachably connectable to the frame and/or to each other. In this way it is possible to change at least a portion of the wall panels after a certain time period or after the protective structure has been attacked by bullets (ballistic), bombs (direct), pressure of bombs (indirect) or (bomb) fragments such that maximum protection can be guaranteed after the protective structure has been under siege. Protection against bombs (direct), pressure of bombs (indirect) or (bomb) fragments is identified in this application as force protection or force protected. At least a portion of the wall panels are, preferably manually, detachably connectable to the frame. A male and female connection can be used for the detachable connection between a panel or a number of panels and the frame, but is also possible to use a clamping force to attach at least a portion of the panels to the frame. In this way it is possible to repair or replace the wall panels in a simple, but fast and reliable manner.
The wall panels are constructed and configures such that these panels absorb the energy of bullets and/or bomb or grenade attacks
Each wall panel may be a rectangular cuboid or a substantially rectangular cuboid. In this way it is possible to make all the panels identical such that the wall panels can be more efficiently attached by an operator to the frame. The side of the panel to be connected to the frame comprising a male and/or a female connection may differ from a side of a rectangular cuboid. For example, the shape of the side of the panel to be connected to the frame may be different than the shape of the side of a rectangular cuboid. Other shapes than rectangular cuboid may also be used for the wall panels
The wall panels comprise a projectile trapping material, and/or a metallic plate to be attached to the frame. The trapping material fills a substantial space of the panel. This trapping material absorbs the energy of bullets and/or bomb or grenade attacks. A bullet fired in the wall panel will be slowed down or trapped in the projectile trapping material and/or may impact against a metallic plate to stop its forward momentum to protect the space behind the structural element. The projectile trapping material or energy absorbing material also prevents that the for example a bullet or parts of the bullet pass back towards the shooter such that the bullet or parts of the bullet cannot harm other people or damage objects nearby the structural element being attacked. Further, the wall panels comprise hollow cavities, preferably 5-35 vol.% of the wall panel is formed by hollow cavities. In this way it is possible that the panels have room to be filled with bullets or fragments without compressing the projectile trapping material. In addition, the frame may comprise a metallic plate to guarantee that the bullet passing through the panel is stopped by the plate. The frame may also comprise bars, preferably a grid of bars. These bars can be provided with connectors such as a female or male connector for connecting the panels thereto. The wall panels may have a depth dimension which is larger than the depth dimension of the frame such that a maximum protection level is guaranteed with respect to a relatively low weight of the structural elements. This relatively low weight of the structural elements is beneficial for handling a structural element to be transported and/or for assembling the protective structure.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings and by means of a description of exemplary embodiments of a system comprising structural elements to be assembled into a protective structure, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a schematic view of first configuration of the system;
Figure 2 shows a schematic view of second configuration of the system;
Figure 3 shows a side view of an embodiment of a protective structure of a system.
In the following description identical or corresponding parts have identical or corresponding reference numerals.
The system 1; 101 shown in figures 1 and 2 comprises structural elements constituting a wall 3; 103 and a roof 5; 105 to be assembled into a ballistic impact proof and force protected structure 7; 107.
Each structural element 3; 103; 5; 105 comprises a frame 11; 111; 13; 113 and a number of wall panels 15; 115 which are ballistic impact proof and provide force protection. At least some of the wall panels 15; 115 are attached to the frame 11; 111, 13; 113, and the panels 15; 115 are connected side by side on the frame 11; 111; 13; 113 without any play between the panels 15; 115 and without any space between the panels 15; 115 to provide a maximum level of protection.
The protective structure 7; 107 at least partly encloses a structure 20 with a roof 21 and walls 22. In the embodiment shown, the structure 20 is formed by a number of interconnecting units each constituted by containers 25, for example shipping containers.
The walls 3; 103 of the protective structure 7; 107 are formed by a number of interconnecting wall parts which are connected to each other and to the roof 5; 105 and to other objects such as the container 25 or a supporting structure (not shown). The roof 5; 105 also comprises a number of interconnecting roof parts. The structural elements 3; 103; 5; 105 can be connected by fasteners (not shown), for example quick couplings, to each other and to the other objects. The roof parts or the wall parts for forming a structural element 3; 103; 5; 105 of the system may comprise more than twenty wall panels 15; 115.
An advantage of the system is that the structural elements 3; 103; 5; 105 can be transported in shipping containers 25. The shipping containers fulfil the requirements of permissible maximum dimensions for road transportation. For example, the maximum height of the container 25 is lower than 4,5 m, the maximum width of the container 25 is lower than 3 m and the maximum length of the container 25 is lower than 25 m.
The main difference between the system 1 shown in figure 1 and the system 101 shown in figure 1 is that the walls 3 of the protective structure 7 are aligned substantially vertically, wherein the walls 103 have an acute angle a of at least 45 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane. Preferably the acute angle is at least 65 degrees, more preferred between 70 and 80 degrees. In this way, gravity contributes in supporting the panels 115; 215 by the frame 111; 211. Further, the acute angle strengthens the wall 103 against the pressure provided by a blast of for example a grenade or a bomb, because the sloping wall 103; 203 guides the pressure upwards away from the building 20 to be protected and simultaneously absorbs the fragments with the wall panels 115; 215.
Figure 3 shows a side view of an embodiment of a protective structure 207 of a system, more in particular a wall 203 which also has the acute angle a.
The wall panels 215 are detachable connected to each other by a clamping force, wherein a column and/or a row of the wall panels is attached to the frame by a clamping force between the upper frame part 212 and the lower frame part 214.
It is also possible to fixate the lower 215a and upper 215b panels 215 to these frame parts 212, 214 if desired for example with bolts (not shown).
Instead of a clamping force for connecting the wall panels 215 to each other, it is also possible to use a form fit and/or a frictional connection (not shown) to connect the panels 215 to each other and/or to the upper frame part 212 and the lower frame part 214 of the frame 211.
The wall 203 comprising the frame 211 comprising a metal plate 218. It is also possible to attach a metal plate to a frame (not shown) having a different configuration than the configuration shown in figure 3. The metal plate 218 is located more closely to the building 20 to be protected than the panels 215. Between the panels 215 and the metal plate 218 there is a space 222 created by spacers 224. This space 222 can be empty such that projectiles to be captured in this space 222 fall down on the bottom of the space 222.
The wall panel 215 is a rectangular cuboid. The panel 215 comprises a depth d1 of 20 mm, a height h of 30 mm and a length of 50 mm
The wall panels 15; 115; 215 comprise projectile trapping material i.e. energy absorbing material, such as for example rubber with a binder or any other material suitable for trapping a bullet or a projectile. The space of each panel 15; 115; 215 can be filled with projectile trapping material, wherein the space of the wall panels 15; 115; 215 also comprise hollow cavities such that it is possible to capture the bullets in the projectile trapping material without compressing this material. Preferably 5-35 vol.% of the wall panel 15; 115; 215 is formed by hollow cavities.
Further, it is possible to provide a panel with a metallic plate (not shown) which can be attached to the frame 11, 111, 211, wherein between the metallic plate and the projectile trapping material there can be provided a space like the space 222 shown in figure 3.
The frame 11 comprises horizontal and vertical bars, attached to each other to form a grid. The frame 111; 211 comprises a metallic plate 218.
The wall panels 15; 115; 215 can also be connected to the frame with a form fit and/or a frictional connection (not shown).
It is advantageously that the wall panels can be detachably connectable to the frame and/or that the wall panels are detachably connected to each other for example by clamping. In this way it is possible to interchange panels for example for maintenance in a quick and efficient manner.
It is possible that at least a portion of the wall panels are connected to the frame and/or to each other by a male and female connection (not shown). Such a male portion of the connection can be a projection (not shown) to be received in the female portion of the connection for example a groove.
The wall panels 15; 115; 215 have a depth dimension d1 which is larger than the depth dimension d2 of the main portion of the frame 211 to provide maximum protection with a minimal total weight of the structural element.
