Abstract

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to armored vehicles, particularly, to armored vehicle shells. Proposed armored module comprises the shell formed by armored plates and additional shell, both representing octahedron-base right prism and being jointed by common cover. Lateral walls of the said shells are arranged with a clearance between them and consist of upper, vertical and lower inclined elements jointed together between previously mentioned common cover and appropriate horizontal floor element. Inner all-welded shell consists of armored plates fitted on rigid frame made of tubular channels. Outer shell consists of replaceable suspended armored plates fastened on deformable frame.

Description

The claimed technical solution relates to the field of special armored vehicles, namely to the armored corps of vehicles intended for the transport of personnel and valuable goods in wartime conditions.

It is known that by increasing the thickness of panels made of high-strength armored steel it is possible to increase the security of the internal volume of the armored module of a special vehicle.

However, the disadvantage of this booking method is the significant weighting of the armored module, which is not acceptable for vehicles, as significantly reduces the permissible payload mass.

From the existing level of technology it is known about the possibility of manufacturing armored enclosures all-welded from steel armor plates (see, for example, RF patent No. 2289777 C2, IPC F41H 7/04, publ. 12/20/2006).

However, all-welded armored hulls have low maintainability, as repair in case of damage requires significant labor costs, as well as specialized equipment and highly qualified repair workers.

From the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2193746 C1, IPC F41H 7/04, publ. 11/27/2002, the vehicle’s armored module is known, designed to protect personnel from small arms fire and consisting of a frame and armored plates fixed to it via detachable joints.

However, such a design without its significant weighting cannot provide reliable protection of the internal space of the armored module when cumulative charges, mines or large fragments get into it.

The technical result, which this technical solution is aimed at, is to increase the security of the internal space of the armored module from the damaging effects of ammunition, reduce its weight and improve maintainability.

According to the claimed technical solution, the armored module, mainly intended for the transport of personnel and mounted on a vehicle, consists of a frame and armored plates fixed on it. In this case, the armored module consists of the outer and inner cases, having the form of a direct prism with octagonal bases, which are the front and rear walls of the armored module common to both cases. Both buildings also have a force interaction through a common horizontal roof. The side walls of the housings are placed with a gap relative to each other, and each of them consists of three elements sequentially docked to each other between a common roof and the corresponding horizontal floor element, namely the upper inclined, mainly vertical and lower inclined elements. In this case, the lower inclined elements of the corresponding side walls of the inner and outer shells are made non-parallel. The inner body of the armored module is made entirely of armored plates on a rigid frame made of a tubular profile, and the outer case consists of replaceable hinged armored plates mounted on a less rigid (deformable) frame. The predominantly vertical and lower inclined wall elements of the inner and outer shells are not interconnected to allow the outer shell to deform without transmitting force to the inner shell. The gap between the inner and outer cases can be filled with heat-insulating, heat-resistant, sound-absorbing, or other material. Armored doors are located in the rear and front walls of the armored module, and in front of the front wall of the vehicle there is a platform for personnel to exit. Side walls and armored doors can be equipped with armored windows and / or loopholes, and the roof with ventilation hatches.

The proposed technical solution is illustrated by graphic materials, which depict:

figure 1 - placement of the armored module in the back of an on-board vehicle Ural-55571;

figure 2 is a rear view of the armored module placed on the Ural-55571;

figure 3 is a section of the armored module across its longitudinal axis.

To ensure effective camouflage of the armored module 1 when installing it on a cargo onboard vehicle 2, the overall dimensions of the armored module 1 are selected so that it can be completely covered by a standard-size awning (not shown). The armored module 1 consists of outer 3 and inner 4 bodies made of armor steel, and in plan it has the shape of an octagon to improve its flow around the blast wave. The side walls of the housings are placed with a gap relative to each other, while the distance between the housings is from 100 to 200 mm. Each of the side walls consists of three elements sequentially docked to each other between a common roof and the corresponding horizontal floor element, namely the upper inclined, mainly vertical and lower inclined elements. The lower inclined elements of the side walls of the inner 4 and outer 3 buildings are made non-parallel to increase the likelihood of ricochet of fragments and bullets. The inner casing 4 of the armored module 1 is made entirely of armored plates on a rigid frame 5 from a tubular profile, and the outer casing 3 consists of replaceable hinged armored plates fixed on a less rigid (deformable) frame 6. In places of the most severe impact of a shock wave with lateral undermining, namely in the zone of vertical and lower inclined elements, the walls of the inner 4 and outer 3 buildings are not rigidly interconnected. Thus, the outer casing 3 has the ability to deform (bend) up to 50 mm under the influence of a shock wave without transmitting forces to the inner casing 4 of the armored module 1. The force interaction between the outer 3 and inner 4 corps is carried out through a common roof, as well as the front and rear the walls. The gap between the inner 4 and outer 3 cases can be filled with any material, for example, heat-insulating, heat-resistant, or sound-absorbing.

In this case, the armored module 1 for the exit of personnel is equipped with armored doors 7 and 8 located in the rear and front walls of the armored module 1. At the same time, in the back of a cargo truck 2, when installing the armored module 1, a special platform 9 can be provided in front of the front wall of the armored module 1, with which it is possible to protect the vehicle during movement. To improve the convenience of loading and unloading, as well as the entrance and exit of personnel, the doors 7 in the rear wall of the armored module 1 swing open in different directions, and the doors 8 in the front wall - toward each other. The side walls and armored doors, if necessary, can be equipped with armored viewing windows 10 and loopholes 11, and hinged ventilation hatches 12 are made in the roof of the armored module.
