Abstract

The utility model relates to the tank industry, and specifically to one of the frontal defenses of the tank and part of its sides. Until now, all types of protection do not bring the desired results, there is a constant struggle to improve anti-tank missiles and shells with new types of armor and its protection, especially for protection from above. There are many types and types of protection of tanks from shells and missiles: active, semi-active, dynamic, etc., but you need to subdivide into 2 types, mechanical (all types of alloys) and electronic - mechanical (sharp braking, tracking missiles and shells 360 degrees followed by destruction or neutralization). There are no analogues in the world yet, something similar is one of the types of mine trawls and a digging device (dumps). The purpose and objective of the “Protective Device” - frontal armor, is to reduce the kinetic energy of shells and missiles from 20 to 100% of anti-tank shells and missiles or their effectiveness. At the same time, extend the life of old tanks of all types and other armored vehicles by 10-20 years. The task is solved as follows: in front at a distance of 5-15 cm from the tank roll "Protective device", which is 5-15 cm higher than the tank and can be 1.5 times wider and fixed to the tank or armored vehicles. The “protective device” is assembled on 2-3 metal pipes of small diameter fiberglass tubes and they are arranged along and wound, and each layer is glued with fiberglass. In the middle of the “Protective Device” there is a clearance for the barrel and which is slightly larger than the diameter of the tank barrel. All types of cumulative charges are completely ineffective when passing through the "Protective Device", with uranium or tungsten core shells lose some of their kinetic energy and will not break through the main armor. Most of the danger is high-explosive fragmentation, but it will take a few to destroy the "Protective Device". A tank or any armored vehicles at any moment can be unhooked and, under its cover, move back to their original positions. For movement (rolling) requires little energy from 5 to 50 hp, with engine power of 1000-1800 hp Example: on an ordinary wheelbarrow we carry a load more than our weight and a lot. A projectile or rocket needs to pierce at least 2 meters of fiberglass tubes, while the diameter of the inlet will be small, since we do not have a monolith - protection. Optical fiberglass with optics is everywhere: on the barrel of the gun and machine gun, raised like a periscope, 10-30 cm higher than the "Protective device" and on the towbar on both sides and aft, and the image is displayed on the display for the entire crew. Fiberglass does not burn, melts at a very high temperature, tensile strength is 3 times higher than steel reinforcement A400, is not subject to corrosion, radiolucent, almost 4 times lighter than steel, diamagnetic. The “protective device” plays the same role as the mine trawl, and the STELL system is used, radars and locators do not “see” and do not recognize armored vehicles. Disadvantages: part of the maneuverability, weight is lost, but any other armor will need it part of the engine’s power, but for others they still put generators, it rolls over high barriers, it can even be better than steel in strength than a tank, T-72 tank with a “Protective device” - frontal armor, will last for several decades go into a duel with the very modern tanks of the world and shoot them from 500-1000 meters. It’s simpler, cheaper, more efficient to have no frontal armor protection in the world.

Description

The utility model relates to the tank industry, and specifically to one of the frontal protection of the tank and part of its sides.

Until now, all types of protection do not bring the desired results, there is a constant struggle to improve anti-tank missiles and shells with new types of tank armor and its protection, especially for protection from above.

There are many types and types of tank protection against missiles and shells: active, semi-active, dynamic, etc., but you need to subdivide into 2 types: mechanical (all types of alloys) and electronic - mechanical (sharp braking, tracking missiles and shells 360 degrees followed by destruction or neutralization.

There are no analogues of the utility model, but it can be compared to some extent with a device for digging a tank and clearing mines. Currently, the device for digging is used by almost all countries that produce tanks. It is mainly intended for digging and clearing, and partially for protection against weapons, as it covers a small part of the frontal armor of the tank. And also this is additional and unnecessary weight for the tank, and a small area of protection, since the largest percentage of hits and defeats is in the frontal projection (in the frontal armor and in the forehead of the tower).

The purpose and objective of the utility model is the creation of more durable mechanical protection for any type of tank, from direct hits of missiles and shells in the frontal part of the tank and partly on board, and the Protective Device fulfills this goal.

The objective of the utility model on the Protective Device is to extend the life of old types of tanks and other armored vehicles by 10-20 years by protecting the frontal armor from all types of shells and missiles by 95-100 percent for T - 72 tanks.

The goal is achieved by an additional "Protective device", which rolls in front of the tank with a diameter of a round "Protective device" 5-15 cm above the tank. In the "Protective Device" in the middle there is a gap for the tank barrel and a little more than the diameter of the tank barrel. The protective device on both sides is connected to the tank, the distance between the tank (armored vehicles) and the "Protective device" is several cm (5-15) and the tank pushes it, and does not carry it like an entrenching device, the cost of all the movement of the "Protective device" will be not more than 50 hp, and then with sharp turns of the tank, with engine power of 1500-2000 hp The “protective device” in length can be 1.5 times wider than the tank (armored vehicles), which will dramatically reduce the firing sector on the sides of the tank. This "Protective device" is much more profitable, simpler and cheaper than all existing defenses during frontal shelling, and protection against anti-tank mines and land mines, as well as against scanning devices that do not distinguish the tank in silhouette, the STELL technology is used on the ZU.

The “protective device” is assembled from fiberglass tubes, and they are arranged horizontally but reinforced with fiberglass in a circle, at a certain distance and several times, and several times on fiberglass tubes, also made of fiberglass tubes are wound in a spiral.

For such a "Protective device", shells and missiles are more dangerous than high-explosive-fragmentation ones than all types of cumulative and rod (armor-piercing) ones.

The “Protective Device” detonates the explosions of cumulative charges (shells and missiles, even tandem), and the rod ones (uranium, tungsten, etc.) lose up to 50% of their energy by breaking the round “Protective Device” and even more, since there is also a twisting of the "Protective device", that is, movement forward or backward (rolls).

High-explosive - fragmentation is more dangerous, since they pull out part of the mass from the "Protective device", it will take about a dozen shells and missiles to destroy the "Protective device", even under its protection (mounts are thrown away), the tank can move back to its original positions.

The "protective device" consists of 2-3 metal pipes - 1, onto which horizontal tubes of small diameter (1-5 cm) made of fiberglass - 2 are assembled, after a certain interval (distance) they are wound with a spiral from the same tubes - 3, also between the layers of tubes laid fiberglass with binders - 4. 5 - mounting device to the tank and other armored vehicles.

The diameter of the "Protective device" is 5-15 cm higher than the tank itself and the view from the tank is carried out through optical fiber, the diameter of which is 3-15 mm and vertically raised 30-50 cm above the tank body, also the optics are mounted on the gun barrel, machine gun, on ends of the "Protective device" and is displayed for the entire crew.

Device - “Protective Device”

1. 2-3 metal pipes on which fiberglass tubes with a diameter of 1 cm to 5 cm are collected, horizontally and in a spiral.

2 - 3. Tubes made of fiberglass.

4. Taped, fiberglass.

5. Mounting devices to the tank and armored vehicles.

6. The gap in the middle of the "memory" for the tank barrel.

7. Plain bearings between metal pipes.

8. The clearance for the barrel on the "Protective device"

The work of the “Protective device, in the stowed position they can be towed. In a combat situation, the “Protective Device” is attached to the tank in front. Shelling modern shells and missiles into the frontal part of the tank (armored vehicles) will not cause significant harm, since the "Protective Device" absorbs from 20 to 100% of the explosion energy of all types of shells and missiles. When rising above the “Protective Device”, the tank’s barrel rotates 360 degrees, and in a frontal attack, the tank’s barrel only rises or lowers, as with self-propelled guns.

It is enough to equip 2-3 tanks out of every ten “Protective device” and they will be breakthrough tanks.

Disadvantages: a slight loss of maneuverability, a slight loss of engine power from 1 / 15-1 / 20 of the tank, but only with sharp turns. Only part of the frontal armor of the tank and part of the side armor are covered (protected), about 20%, but not more, the other 30-40% of the area can be protected by "Volumetric armor" of 2 types. The weight of the “Protective device” is not more than 1.5 tons. None of the armies of the world has “Volumetric armor” for tanks and armored vehicles.

T-72 tanks with frontal armor protection for more than a dozen years will go into a duel with the most modern tanks of the world, and will shoot them from a distance of 500-1000 meters.

Simpler, cheaper, more efficient there is no frontal armor "ZU" in the world.
