Description

The invention relates to combat ground mobile devices, conventionally called “combat robots”, and is intended to destroy and unmask the enemy on the battlefield.

Known similar devices on various chassis, see, for example, US Pat. No. 2544434, with a different set of weapons, mainly for mine clearance.

The objective and technical result of the invention is to mislead the enemy and destroy him on the battlefield.

The experience of the Syrian forces fighting against ISIS showed that often the opponents are several hundred or several tens of meters apart, but do not take any active action, since the space dividing them is shot through by all types of weapons, including anti-tank ones.

History develops in a spiral, and with the current level of technology and weapons, the experience of the fascist German troops of 1945 became interesting. Then, to destroy the Soviet fortifications and tanks, they used exploding mini-wedges controlled by wire or radio. Modern foreign trends confirm the desire of designers to create a full-fledged combat robot in the form of a wheeled, tracked or walking vehicle.

However, the losses of such combat robots (hereinafter “robots”) on the battlefield are expected to be very large. Therefore, the task and technical result of this invention is the creation of a set of combat robots of identical appearance, but some robots will be fully functional, we will call them “main”, and the second will be low-functional, but extremely cheap “simulators”.

By the way, the robots revealed the optimal size: width - 55 cm (to drive through any door). And the length of the horizontal part of the tracked chassis is 75 cm (to enter standard stairs. The height is limited only by stability considerations.

It is not worthwhile to dwell on the design of the main robot in view of the many equivalent options. A rubber caterpillar chassis with the mentioned dimensions, a rotating turret, a simple submachine gun with a round magazine of at least 100 rounds or with tape power and / or flamethrower are offered. Desirable on the front of the tower are 4 sockets for throwing standard F-1 grenades, and several infrared cameras, including one that is paired with a submachine gun. For the possibility of movement, two electric motors, a battery and an anti-jamming radio control system are assumed.

Reservation of the main robot and its simulator must withstand hit at point-blank 12.7 mm armor-piercing bullet.

Of great interest is how to minimize and reduce the cost of the composition of the simulator.

This simulator contains two high voltage DC electric motors - about 220 volts (this is close to the amplitude value of a standard network 220 V 50 Hz., - 345 V, which allows you to power the simulator through a cable from a simple mains rectifier or from a battery voltage of 350-360 V ( it is necessary to take into account internal losses in the battery and losses in wires.) You can use massive cheap engines from electric drills, electric saws, electric planers, rotary hammers, etc. From them, you can also use gear elements.

To control the speed of movement, you can use thyristor power controllers - again, such regular mass controllers from electric drills, etc. moreover, in the main robot and in the simulator it is necessary to use the same electric elements, even the same batteries (only in the main robot the battery is inside, and in the simulator it is in the control panel). It is useful for maintainability. Power controllers allow cornering at any radius and at full speed, which makes it difficult to defeat a robot from a grenade launcher.

To simplify the design, the submachine gun does not have a tip, it is always directed approximately forward, but it has a spring-mounted vertical suspension, constantly directed horizontally, but with the ability to deviate upward or sideways from the recoil of the submachine gun.

Perhaps, a flamethrower will be more effective than a submachine gun in such conditions.

To undermine the fortifications, armored vehicles and manpower of the enemy, the simulator may contain an explosive charge.

For the simulator, an extremely simple electrical control circuit is offered, transmitting all the necessary signals via 4 wires. It contains in the remote control panel a rectifier or battery with switching keys of the left and right engines of the simulator, with switches for reversing the power supply polarity connected by three conductors to the simulator, and contains an electric drive for the submachine gun and explosive charge, connected by one wire to the simulator, this wire and the middle wire of the electric motors is connected to the submachine gun and to the explosive charge through two circuits with multidirectional diodes.

This scheme does not allow the use of the caterpillar movement mode "flip" (that is, one forward, the other back). This is not very significant, since the simulator can be dispensed with without this mode, however, for the possibility of implementing such a movement, the remote control simply needs to have not one, but two galvanically isolated rectifiers or two batteries connected separately. True, there is one caveat - during the “tear” it is better not to use the button of the submachine gun, since depending on the direction of the “tear”, an explosion may work.

To supply the simulator with electricity, it has a cylindrical or end reel with a cable on the vertical hinge (that is, on the hinge with a vertical axis of rotation) at the rear (the end reel is an analogue of the inertia-free spinning fishing reel). By the way, the main version of the robot should have the same coil for resembling a simulator. Moreover, it serves not only for masking - the main robot receives power through it until the cable runs out or is broken, after which the cable connected by the plug is simply pulled out by itself, and the robot continues to move on the battery.

The purpose of the simulator is to allow the enemy to spend the entire supply of anti-tank weapons on their destruction, and also so that during the shelling of the simulators the enemy finds himself and "substitutes" for a sniper shot. The field of this can be put into battle the main robots. They must act, as is generally accepted in military affairs, in groups, covering each other, at least 6-7 robots in the tactical group.

In FIG. 1 shows an exemplary view of the robot, FIG. 2 shows the spring suspension of a submachine gun in a variant with an upward deviation, FIG. 3 shows a control circuit of a simulator with one battery (a circuit with two batteries is not illustrated due to its comprehensibility).

The robot (both the main one and the simulator must have exactly the same appearance, up to the presence of false camera lenses and false hatches for grenades on the simulator) consists of body 1 with six rollers 2 arranged in a row and with one roller placed forward on each side. It is desirable that the center of gravity be on a line deflected forward 30 degrees from the middle of the track roller — from point “A”. Then the robot will be easier to climb the stairs. The rollers are not sprung, but simply worn on the appropriate axis. And in general, since the robot is a consumable, everything is done very simply.

On the rollers there are rubber-fabric tracks 3. It is desirable to take a modern strong fiber, such as Vectran, Kevlar, spectrum, Dainima, Zylon, etc., as a reinforcing fabric.

On housing 1 there is a tower 4 (on the main robot - rotating, on the simulator - stationary) with a submachine gun or flamethrower 5.

At the back there is a hinge with a vertical axis 6 and a cylindrical or end coil 7 with a cable (cylindrical shown).

The cable should be four-wire, with a cross-section in the shape of a rhombus.

The submachine gun 5 in FIG. 2 consists of a barrel 8, a bolt shield 9 and a disk magazine 10. The submachine gun is pivotally mounted on the “B” axis, located just below the recoil vector, and is spring loaded 11.

The control circuitry of FIG. 3 contains: a power supply unit connected to a polarity switch P (forward-neutral-backward), connected by two wires to the switches of the left and right motors VK1 and VK2, and then to the left and right electric motors LED and PED. The midpoint of the polarity switch is connected to two electric motors and to two backward connected diodes D1 and D2, and through the diodes, respectively, to the electromagnet of the P-P submachine gun and the VZ fuse. One of the wires from the polarity switch through the K button is connected to the mentioned electromagnet and fuse.

For simplicity, a circuit without thyristor power controllers is shown.

A high-frequency signal from one camera (almost a radio signal) is transmitted through the middle wire. If one wire is not enough, you can transfer it and one more wire by shunting the switch VK1, or VK2, or the K button with high resistance (so that the engine, machine gun or fuse would not work). This embodiment is shown in FIG. 3 by a dotted line: a TK camera and a resistor R. The camera is powered by a small battery that can be recharged through the same high-resistance circuit with a resistor R. It is necessary that the П-П electromagnet and the ВЗ fuse have an artificially high response current. A camera, a battery for it and a charger can be used massive and cheap from mobile phones.

The simulator works as follows: the polarity switch P is switched from the neutral position to the one shown in FIG. 3, and the VK1 and VK2 switches turn on both forward tracks. During movement or stopping by pressing the K button, the P-P electromagnet of the submachine gun or flamethrower is turned on. The current passes through the middle wire, then through the diode D1 and through the electromagnet and button P to the negative terminal on switch P.

By switching the polarity switch P to the right, you can turn on the “reverse gear” and, controlling the VK1 and VK2 switches, turn on both tracks or one at a time.

If self-blowing is necessary, switch P is turned on to “reverse” and the button K is pressed. Since the polarity of the circuit has reversed, the current will go through the diode D2 and the VZ fuse.

When firing from a submachine gun 5 (see Fig. 2), the recoil vector, passing above the transverse axis of rotation "B", with each shot throws the submachine gun back, compressing the spring 11. After the shooting ceases, the spring 11 returns the submachine gun back to close to horizontal position. Shooting in short bursts is recommended.

Another option is also possible - the axis of rotation "B" is located vertically slightly to the side of the recoil vector, and the spring 11 is also located on this side. Then the submachine gun will shoot in short horizontal bursts.

The use of the simulator is as follows: in zigzags it approaches the enemy’s positions, forcing him to spend (and miss) anti-tank weapons. At the same time, enemy fighters will unmask themselves and “substitute” for a sniper shot. In these two functions, the main purpose of the simulator.

If, nevertheless, he succeeds in reaching the enemy’s positions, he can call in from the flank, enter the building, even on the floors, even the room, and shoot at or doused the flamethrower of the enemies there. If the simulator’s operator detects an underground passage, ammunition depot, or other valuable object, it can explode the simulator at the same time.

It should be borne in mind that the simulator is easily incapacitated by a cable break, therefore, after approaching the enemy, you should look for a target to destroy it with an explosion, even if it is just a lone fighter. Otherwise, the cable will be killed and the simulator will become useless. However, it is not entirely useless - if this object is still soon occupied by “our” troops, then the cable can be connected, the ammunition replenished, and the simulator will again be suitable for use.
