Description

 The invention relates to the field of transport engineering and can be used to create armored vehicles, such as cars and trucks, designed to transport valuable goods and money with the protection of personnel accompanying the cargo from firearms, as well as to protect people in the performance of official duties related at the risk of life, and ensuring the personal safety of car owners.

 Known armored car according to US patent N 4326445, NKI 89/36 F, MKI F 41 H 5/00, publ. 04/27/82. The armored car has a chassis with a frame on which an armored base is mounted. On this basis, a hull made of armored plates is fixed by any method, forming a closed volume such as a capsule, in which the crew and passengers of the vehicle are placed. The hull is formed by welding of armor plates and has armored doors to move the crew, passengers and goods into the hull and vice versa.

 This armored car provides a high degree of protection for the driver and passengers in emergency situations, but in essence it is highly specialized and extremely inconvenient in everyday use. Continuous booking of the car body complicates its manufacture, dramatically increases weight and cost. An armored car can be made only on specialized equipment. The appearance of the armored car is completely different from the well-known serial models of cars and clearly indicates its purpose, which can provoke an attack from the outside.

 Also known is an armored car according to UK patent N 2233259, MKI F 41 H 5/04, B 21 C 37/02, publ. 01/09/91. The armored car has an external appearance that matches the appearance of a production car, and is equipped with a fully armored body assembled from two side armored panels and an armored roof connected to the side panels by welding at the joints. The case is equipped with armored doors providing access to the inside of the case. The body and doors have openings with fixed glass.

 This armored car also has a high degree of protection against any means of destruction, but it is very expensive to manufacture, as it requires specialized equipment and specialized welding equipment. Essentially, the armored car of Great Britain patent N 2233259 is a specialized vehicle camouflaged as a production car.

 Currently, the need has emerged for the conversion of serial vehicles into vehicles of increased security, ensuring a comfortable stay of the driver and passengers inside the vehicle under normal conditions and protecting them on high-risk routes where it is possible to fire a vehicle with firearms or accidentally get into a vehicle means of fragments of mines and other damaging elements.

 Known armor design for a car according to British patent N 2144834, MKI F 41 H 5/00, publ. 03/13/85. It contains armored glass installed in the window opening of the door, and an armored plate connected to it, installed between the outer and inner door trim. When mounting an armored structure, the side glazing of the car is removed and the mechanism for controlling the raising and lowering of the glass is removed, and then they are replaced by the specified armored structure.

 This armored design provides lateral protection against high-speed weapons, such as bullets and fragments, but does not provide protection against damage from the front and rear skin of the car. In addition, when converting a production car to an armored car, it is necessary to remove part of the units of the production car, which must be compensated for in the inverse transformation, which complicates the procedure of these transformations.

 Known armored vehicle design according to US patent N 4841838, NKI 89-36.08, MKI F 41 H 5/16, 5/20, publ. 06/27/89. This armored design is made in the form of individual armor plates mounted on the outside of the vehicle skin. The fastening of the armor plates includes threaded bushings welded to the outside of the vehicle skin, the holes in the armor plates corresponding to the attachment points of the threaded bushings, and the bolts passing through the holes and fastening the armor plates to the threaded bushings. Unauthorized removal of armor plates is prevented by the use of safety elements that prevent the bolts from turning away and are fixed to the armor plates by welding.

 The known armor design has the disadvantage that the armor plates are installed outside the vehicle and thereby clearly indicate the presence of armor protection. To mount the armored structure on the vehicle skin, it is necessary to use welding equipment and integral connections, which complicates the booking of the vehicle. In addition, the use of this armor design to protect modern production cars is not possible, since they have a very thin outer skin, on which it is impossible to fix sufficiently powerful armor protection, which limits the ability to withstand shelling from the outside.

 Known armored vehicle for US patent N 4352316, NKI 89/36 A, MKI F 41 H 5/04, publ. 10/05/82. This armored car has a chassis and a body that completely coincides with the external forms of the production car, and armored protection covering the car cabin. Armor protection includes armored glass mounted on the outside of the window openings, and flexible armored mats placed around the perimeter of the cabin. Armored glass and armored mats form an armored structure covering the interior of the cabin and protecting passengers and the driver from external damage. Armored mats are located in the internal cavities of the door panels, on the rear wall of the body and on the front wall of the cab, which separates it from the engine. When converting a production car into an armored vehicle, multilayer mats are made of high-strength fibers, having a shape corresponding to the configuration of the car doors, the rear and front walls of the cab, rack movement mechanisms are removed from the car doors, and multilayer mats are installed in the inner cavity of the doors.

 The well-known car provides sufficient protection for passengers and the driver when firing a car from small arms, a pistol, a hunting rifle, small-caliber automatic weapons and fragments of mines. However, it cannot provide protection when fired from a military automatic weapon, for example, from an automatic machine of 7.62 mm caliber, since it is impossible to place sufficiently thick mats in the inner cavity of the doors and the back wall to prevent backbone wall bullets of 7.62 mm caliber and above. In addition, to convert a production car to an armored car, it is necessary to remove part of its assemblies, as well as disassembling the doors and rear wall of the car, which significantly increases the time required for the conversion, and also complicates the reverse conversion of the armored car to a production car.

 Also known is an armored vehicle according to the application of Germany N 4005904, MKI F 41 H 5/04, 7/02, publ. 08/29/91, containing the chassis, the body with the skin and body armor, including the outer layer of ceramic tiles interconnected at the side ends. A layer of ceramic tiles is fixed on the periphery in flanges made on the outer surface of the body sheathing, its front wall and the wings covering the wheels of the car.

 This car provides reliable protection for passengers and the driver from a firearm. However, this armored design can be used either in specialized cars, or for significant alterations of production cars, since it requires a certain implementation of the outer surface of the car body, adapted for fixing ceramic tiles. In addition, the placement of ceramic tiles on the outer surface of the car changes its appearance and clearly indicates the purpose of the vehicle.

 The closest to the claimed invention, an armored vehicle in terms of essential features is an armored vehicle based on a MERCEDES-BENS SPRINTER car manufactured by EURACOM EQUIPMENT GMBH and presented at the Bank and Office-95 exhibition in Moscow from October 23 to 28, 1995 Famous armored vehicle contains a chassis, a frame with power beams, a cabin having front, side and rear walls and a roof, doors in the walls of the cabin, equipped with locking mechanisms and controls these mechanisms, the dashboard, vehicle controls, seats for passengers and the driver, fixed in the cab on the power beams with fixing elements, tinted glass windows, attachment points for cab accessories located on its walls in places with increased rigidity, front armored door with bulletproof glass, side, rear and upper armored panels placed around the perimeter inside the cabin with the formation of a protected zone for the driver and passengers, and bulletproof glass. In the side armor panels there are armor plates closed from the outside by the outer skin of the cabin, for firing from an armored vehicle in case of an attack from the outside. Known armored vehicle has reinforced elements of the stiffness of the cabin, reinforced edging of doors and windows, reinforced nodes of the door hinge on the edging. Armored glass and tinted exterior glazing are installed in the reinforced edging of the door windows. The front armored wall is mounted on its power frame using bolted joints and welding, forming an integral structure. Side armored panels are made of two unconnected parts for doors and cab walls. An armored panel to protect the side wall of the cabin is installed inside the cabin instead of its sheathing and is bolted and welded to the vehicle’s power frame and to the reinforced stiffness elements of the cabin, forming an integral structure. Armor panels for protecting the doors of the cabin are made along the contour of the doors of the cabin and are rigidly connected to the reinforced door trim. The doors are equipped with reinforced locks controlled from the cab. The rear and upper armored panels are connected to adjacent armored panels by welding.

 The specified armored vehicle has a high degree of protection for passengers and the driver from external damage by small arms and fragments of grenades and mines, which is achieved using the fully welded cabin structure from armored panels. This vehicle is a specialized vehicle and cannot be converted back to a production vehicle, such as a MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER production vehicle. In addition, the well-known armored vehicle is quite expensive to manufacture, since all work is carried out in the car and a large alteration of the car itself is required.

 Closest to the claimed invention "Armored vehicle" on the set of essential features is an armored vehicle for a vehicle according to the patent of Great Britain N 1318145, NKI F3C, MKI F 41 H 5/00, 7/00, publ. 05/23/73. The patent also describes a method for converting an unprotected vehicle into an armored vehicle.

 Known armored structure for a vehicle contains a power frame and is mounted on the power frame and interconnected rear, side and upper armored panels and the front armored plate with the formation of a rigid armored structure, forming a volume protected from external influences for the passenger and driver. In the front armored plate there is a viewing window, closed by a hinged armored cover. The rear, side and upper armor panels are assembled from individual armor plates. The rear armored panel is equipped with an armored door for the passage of passengers and the driver. The lower side armor plates are provided on the inside with brackets resting on the floor of the vehicle cab. In the indicated brackets and the floor, holes are made through which the bolts of the lower side armor plates to the vehicle floor are passed. The armor plates are attached to the power frame and bolted together. The specified armor design has numerous points of attachment of elements of the armor structure to the power frame of the vehicle. The attachment points are the front bumper, hinges of door hinges, attachment points of a removable awning and the floor of the vehicle cab.

 When converting a serial vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle, into an armored vehicle, the cab body and trim panels covering the engine compartment are removed from the serial vehicle, a power frame is installed in front of the vehicle above the engine and fixed to the front bumper and side hinges doors. Install the rear armored wall behind the seats and fix it on the attachment points of the removable awning. The armor plates covering the engine compartment are bolted to the power frame and the armored frame of the viewing window with a folding armor shield is installed. These armored plates and an armored viewing window form the front armored plate of an armored structure. Then install the lower side armor plates, drill holes in the brackets and the floor of the vehicle and fix the specified armor plates on the floor of the vehicle, the rear armored wall and the power frame. After fixing the lower side armor plates, the upper side armor plates are installed and fixed. On the assembled armor design set the upper armor plate. An armored door is installed in the rear armored wall to enter the protected space of the vehicle cabin. Thus, an armored structure is formed that protects passengers and the driver from the effects of bullets and fragments from five sides (front, rear, sides and top).

 This armor design with thick enough armor panels is able to provide reliable protection for passengers and the driver from any small arms and fragments with high precision assembly. However, it is impossible to achieve high accuracy of assembly of this armor structure due to the numerous attachment points located on the power elements of the vehicle with low rigidity, in particular on the attachment points of the removable tent and door hinges. Deformations arising during the installation of heavy armored panels lead to the appearance of wide gaps in the joints between the armored panels and reduce the reliability of armor protection. In terms of its external dimensions, the armored structure cannot be placed inside the vehicle cabin, which makes the purpose of the converted vehicle explicit. In addition, the armored structure of a known vehicle contains a large number of individual fragments, which complicates its assembly and the conversion of a production car into an armored vehicle. A disadvantage of the known method is the fact that when converting a production car into an armored vehicle, it is necessary to use a specialized tool to finalize the design of the production car, in particular, holes must be drilled in the floor for attaching the lower side armor plates. It should be noted that the assembly of the known armor construction requires a sufficiently long time due to the large number of bolt fastening devices.

 Closest to the claimed invention, "A method of converting an unprotected vehicle to an armored vehicle" is a method developed by EURACOM EQUIPMENT GMBH to convert a production car of the MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER brand into an armored vehicle presented at the exhibition "Bank and Office-95", held in Moscow from October 23 to October 28, 1995. The known method includes dismantling the doors and seats of the vehicle cabin and removing the inner lining of the cabin for access to the power elements of the frame and frame. Attach to the frame power elements, for example, weld reinforcing frames and reinforce the edging of door openings, enter the side armor panels inside the cab, covering the side walls of the body outside the door openings and fasten them with bolts and welding on the vehicle's power beams, reinforcing frames and edging of the door openings. Inside the cockpit, the front bulletproof plate with bulletproof glass is inserted and fixed with bolts and welding on the power beams of the vehicle, reinforcing frames and door edging. Then, the rear and upper armored panels are introduced into the cockpit and welded to adjacent armored panels. Thus, an integral armored vehicle cabin is formed. In the armored cabin set seats for passengers and the driver. The inner lining is removed from the car doors and the mechanisms for raising and lowering the glass are removed. Doors are equipped with armor plates made along the contour of the door, reinforced window edging and stiffer hinge assemblies. Tinted glazing and bulletproof glass are inserted into the windows. On the reinforced edging of the doorways, rigid knots of the door hinge are installed and the doors reinforced with armored panels are hung on them. For greater safety of passengers and the driver, the doors are equipped with additional locks of increased rigidity. To increase the comfort of passengers and the driver, the inner surface of the armored panels is covered with a decorative soft coating that provides sound attenuation when a bullet enters the armored structure and thermal insulation.

 A disadvantage of the known method of converting an unprotected vehicle into an armored vehicle is the inability to reconstruct the armored vehicle back into an unprotected serial vehicle. Thus, the known method can only be used for the manufacture of specialized armored vehicles based on production vehicles. In addition, this method is technologically complicated, as it requires the preparation of armored panels directly on the spot for a specific car. Additional technological difficulties arise when welding armored panels, since specialized equipment and electrodes are required.

 The tasks to which the claimed inventions are directed are to create an armored vehicle that uses an unprotected serial vehicle as a basic design, for example a car or a truck, which does not require changes in the design of a serial vehicle when converting and provides reliable protection for passengers and driver, the development of an armored structure that can be produced as an autonomous structure, transported both assembled and a kit of parts set in any serial car or other vehicle without its design improvements and design conversion method unprotected in an armored vehicle with a minimum expenditure of time and without using specialized tools and equipment and allows the inverse transformation in the armored vehicle mass.

 The position locks of the armored capsule inside the cabin are made of variable length.

 These latches are made in the form of tenders containing two threaded elements with the opposite direction of the thread and a coupling connecting them, while one threaded element is fixed in the attachment site of the auxiliary equipment of the cabin, and the other on the armored panel.

 These latches are made in the form of adjustable supports fixed at one end to the attachment site of the auxiliary equipment of the vehicle cabin.

 The armored capsule is equipped with an additional armored panel overlapping the dashboard and mounted on the side armored panels, openings for access to the vehicle controls located on the dashboard are made in the additional armored panel, and the indicated openings are blocked by movable armored panels.

 A mimic diagram of the dashboard is applied to the front surface of the additional armored panel.

 The armored vehicle is equipped with damping inserts located in the gap between the walls of the cabin and the armored capsule.

 These damping inserts are mounted on armored panels.

 In the gaps between the armored capsule and the cockpit wall, remotely controlled fire extinguishing agents are installed.

 An extinguishing agent is equipped with a pyrotechnic charge generating gas that does not support combustion.

 The flame retardant is equipped with a chemical foam generator.

 In the known armored structure for a vehicle, comprising rear, side and upper armored panels and a front armored plate connected to each other with the formation of a rigid structure, forming a volume protected from external influences for passengers and a driver, a viewing window made in the front armored plate, fastening elements of a rigid structure to according to the invention, adjacent armored panels are interconnected with the overlap of the end face one panel with the lateral surface of another panel with the formation of a rigid structure in the form of an armored capsule with the possibility of placing it inside the vehicle cabin, the side armored panels are equipped with armored doors with windows closed by bulletproof glass, openings for access to controls of the vehicle door locking mechanisms covered by sliding armor plates, and locks controlled from the armored capsule, the front armored wall is made of two overlapping upper and lower armored panels, the viewing window is flaxen in the upper armored panel and covered with bulletproof glass, cutouts for the passage of vehicle controls were made in the lower armored panel.

 The armored capsule is equipped with an additional armored panel mounted below the upper front armored panel and mounted on the side armored panels, while the additional armored panel has openings covered by movable armored panels.

 In the known method of converting an unprotected vehicle into an armored vehicle, including dismantling the vehicle cabin seats, introducing rear, side and upper armored panels and front armored panels through the openings into the cabin, installing said armored panels inside the cabin with the formation of an armored structure forming the protected area of the cabin, and installation inside the armored structure of the seats, according to the invention, before the introduction of the armored panels into the cabin, they are fixed in the auxiliary attachment points cab equipment, armor-mounted position fixators relative to the cabin walls, armored panels inserted inside the cabin are fixed to the corresponding cabin walls with technological fasteners, which are removed when mounting the armored panels in the armored structure, the side armored panels are fastened to the power beams in the seat attachment points with technological fasteners, the rear armored panel is attached to the side panels , armored panels of the front armored wall and the upper armored panel with the formation of an armor structure in the form of rigid armored capsules , Bronekapsuly fixed position relative to the cab wall, relieve technology of side armor panels for power beams is set inside bronekapsuly chair and fix them on the power beams with lateral bronekapsuly armor plates, then in the openings armor panels hang bronedveri.

 As technological fastenings of the side armored panels to the power beams, bolts for fastening the seats are used.

 The essence of the invention is to provide a production vehicle with an autonomous armored structure with an armored capsule, which can be assembled inside the vehicle cabin with a gap relative to its walls. The specified armored capsule is mounted on the most rigid power elements of the vehicle, power beams for attaching seats, using the nodes that secure the seats. In this case, the free ends of the cantilever plates will be sandwiched between the seat and the power beam, which ensures both reliable fastening of the armored capsule inside the cab and direct transfer of the weight of the armored capsule to the most rigid elements of the vehicle’s power structure without any modification to the vehicle’s own design. This makes it possible to use fairly thick armor panels and make them from high-strength armor plates, which provides high security for passengers and the driver. The same purpose is the overlapping of the ends of adjacent sheets of armored panels. Fixing the position of the armored capsule relative to the walls of the cab and preventing the armored capsule from accidentally touching the cab walls is provided by damping inserts and latches installed between the armored capsule and the attachment points of the auxiliary equipment in the vehicle cabin.

 The design of the armored doors provides control of the mechanisms for opening the armored doors and doors of the vehicle cabin. The armored capsule itself can be completely manufactured and assembled outside the vehicle as an autonomous structure, which ensures its manufacture and fitting of armored panels outside the vehicle cabin. The method of converting an unprotected vehicle to an armored vehicle ensures the safety of the design of a serial vehicle, since the installation of an armored capsule is carried out without disturbing the skin of the vehicle cabin. An armored vehicle can be easily converted into a production car by removing the armored capsule from the cab. The armored capsule has a technological design, since it uses armored panels with minimal curvature, and it is also possible to use flat armored panels, which reduces the cost of its manufacture, fitting during installation and transportation. The installation of an armored capsule in a car cabin does not require the use of special tools and equipment and can be carried out in a short time in any car repair shop or directly by the owner or crew of a car.

 The applicant is not aware of armored vehicles, armored structures for vehicles and methods of converting an unprotected vehicle into an armored vehicle with the indicated combination of essential features and the claimed combination of essential features does not follow explicitly from the current state of the art.

 The reservation of the vehicle was made, in particular, on the basis of a KamAZ serial truck (see Fig. 1), containing a chassis 1, a cabin 2, having a front 3, side 4 and rear 5 walls and a cover 6, doors 7 in the walls of the cabin, equipped locking mechanisms and controls 8 of these mechanisms, the dashboard 19, vehicle controls, seats 10 for passengers and the driver, fixed in the cab 2 on the power beams 11 with fixing elements in the form of bolts 12, glazed windows 13 and auxiliary attachment points 14 cabin equipment, placed on its walls in places with high rigidity. In particular, on the walls of the cab there are attachment points for seat belts and fire extinguishing means.

 Inside the cabin, there is a front armored wall 15, side 16, rear 17 and upper 18 armored panels placed around the perimeter of the cabin 2 with the formation of a zone protected from external influences for the driver and passengers. The front armored wall is made of two overlapping upper 19 and lower 20 armored panels. In the upper armored panel there is a viewing window closed by armored glass 21, in the lower armored panel there are cutouts for passage of the vehicle steering controls of the steering column 22 and pedals 23. The side armored panels 16 are equipped with cantilever plates 24 fixed to the lower part of the armored panels, armored doors 25 with the windows closed bullet-proof windows 26, openings for access to controls of locking mechanisms of vehicle doors, blocked by movable bulletproof shields 27, and locks 28. In armored panels 16 and armored doors 25 29 loopholes blocked by spring-loaded armored holes closed on the outside by the cabin wall for firing from an armored vehicle in case of an attack from the outside. In the free ends of the cantilever plates 24, holes 30 are made for bolts 12 for securing the seats 10. The armored wall 15 and the armored panels 16, 17 and 18 are interconnected by bolts 31 at the joints, overlapping the end of one armored panel with the side surface of the other armored panel, forming a rigid structure in the form of an armored capsule 32 placed inside the cabin with a gap D relative to its walls. In the gap between the walls of the cabin and the armored capsule, damping inserts 33 made of malleable material, for example, of non-combustible felt, are mounted on the armored panels.

 The armored capsule is equipped with latches 34 of its position inside the cabin 2, made, for example, in the form of tenders 35, containing two threaded elements 36 and 37 with the opposite direction of the thread and the coupling 38 connecting them, while the threaded element 36 is fixed in the mounting unit 14 of the auxiliary equipment of the cabin, and the threaded element 37 on the armored panel 16 or 17. In addition, the armored capsule 32 is equipped with an additional armored panel 39, overlapping the instrument panel 9 and mounted on the side armored panels 16. In the additional armored panel made openings 40 for access to the ignition key located on the dashboard of the vehicle controls, toggle switches of the lighting system, instrumentation. The indicated openings are blocked by movable armor plates 41. A mimic diagram of the dashboard is applied to the front surface of the additional armor plate, including the surface of movable armor plates. The free ends of the cantilever plates 24 are placed between the seats 10 and the power beams 11 and are fixed to the power beams by bolts 12 for securing the seats.

 The latches 34 of the position of the armored capsule inside the cab can be made in the form of supports 42 of variable length, the base 43 of which are fixed in the attachment points 14 of the auxiliary equipment of the vehicle cab. The bases have a threaded channel into which a shaft 44 with a support heel 145 is screwed, having at the end a docking assembly with the head of the mounting tool. In particular, a slot 46 at the end of the shaft and a screwdriver can be used. In this embodiment, in the armored panel opposite the rod, holes are made for the passage of a screwdriver.

 In the gaps D between the armored capsule and the cabin wall, remotely controlled fire extinguishing agents 47 are installed. As remotely controlled flame extinguishing agents, pyrotechnic charges generating gas that does not support combustion or chemical foam generators can be used.

 The inner surface of the armored panels forming the armored capsule has a decorative coating 48 that provides damping of noise when bullets and fragments hit the armored capsule, preventing injuries to passengers and the driver when they hit the wall and thermal insulation of the armored capsule.

 Speaking about the cab, the applicant has in mind not only the design of the KamAZ car cab type, but also any other type of body of serial cars: a pickup truck, sedan, convertible with an awning installed, etc. At the same time, the power beam for securing the seats can be part of the cab or be a power element of the car chassis. Under the chair for the passenger and driver understand the seat of any type having a power frame attached to the power beam of the vehicle.

 To convert an unprotected vehicle to an armored vehicle, the seats 10 of the cabin 2 are removed from the serial vehicle. The latches 34 of the armored structure relative to the walls of the cabin are fixed in the attachment points 14 of the auxiliary equipment of the cabin. The rear 17, side 16 and upper 18 armored panels and armored panels 19 and 20 of the front armored plate 15 are introduced through the openings into the cabin. The armored panels introduced into the cabin are fixed to the corresponding walls of the cabin with technological fasteners that are removed when mounting the armored panels in the armored structure. As technological fasteners, use clamps, suction cups, adhesive tape, belts covering the armored panel and the cabin wall adjacent to it or its power element, for example a side stand.

 Installation of the armored structure begins with the side armored panels 16. Fix them on the power beams 11 in the attachment points of the seats 10 technological fasteners, which can be used bolts 12 of the seat fasteners. Then the rear armor panel 17, the armor panels 19 and 20 of the front armored wall 15 and the upper armor panel 18 are attached to the side armored panels 16 with the formation of the armor structure in the form of a rigid armored capsule 32. The position of the armored capsule 32 relative to the cabin walls is fixed using tenders 35 or supports 42 of variable length. Access to tenders 35 or supports 42 is possible from the side of the doorways or through the technological holes, as shown in Fig.6 and 7. Remove the technological fastenings of the side armored panels 16 to the power beams 11 of the vehicle. They install 32 armchair capsules 32 inside 10 and fasten them with bolts 12 on the power beams 11 together with side armor panels 16, then armor capsules are hung in the openings of armor panels 16. To simplify work with armored panels when moving them inside the cabin, you can remove the side doors of the car 7 from the hinges , increasing the working area for installation. Upon completion of the installation of the armored capsule, the side doors 7 of the cab are returned to their place.

 Conversion of an armored vehicle to a production vehicle is carried out in the reverse order.
