The conveyor is also equipped with a camouflage system and equipment to overcome water barriers (RF patent N 2130578, Ml. F16H 7/00, publ. 1998).

The disadvantages of this armored medical conveyor are related to the impossibility of maximum loading of bedridden wounded inside the medical department and to the cargo area on its roof, as well as to the vulnerability of the medical crew during the loading process.

The technical task of the invention is to ensure the maximum number of transported wounded in the conditions of protection against bullets and fragments while reducing their loading time and ensuring the safety of personnel.

The stated technical problem is solved in that in an armored medical conveyor containing a chassis with a caterpillar mover, an independent torsion bar suspension and shock absorbers, as well as located in a single control compartment, motor-transmission and medical with armored top hatches, while the medical compartment is inside made with a passage and two tiers of accommodation for the wounded both on a stretcher and on the folding seats - in accordance with the chosen option, and on the first lower tier e stretchers are placed to the left and right of the aisle along the sides on folding frames, and on the second tier - with installation along the sides and the suspension on belts from the side of the aisle, and includes a system of mechanical loading and unloading, the wounded includes a device for lifting and moving the stretcher on the appropriate tier, made in the form of a special folding ladder, the medical department is additionally equipped with a third, tier for the placement of the wounded on a stretcher, and the third tier for the placement of the wounded on a stretcher is located on the roof of the about the compartment and is made protected from bullets and fragments, while inside the medical department is additionally equipped with a pair of stretchers, if necessary placed with a suspension on straps in the passage of the medical compartment on the lower and upper tiers, and the stretchers on the second tier along the sides are placed on folding frames with the possibility of fastening the latter along the sides and the suspension on belts from the side of the aisle and folding along the sides, while the suspension of both folding frames on all tiers and the stretcher in the aisle is made using shock absorbing devices, and a winch with a drive installed on the inner surface of the cover of one of the hatches.

The solution of the technical task was also directed to the fact that the wounded on the third tier were protected from bullets and fragments with the help of raised side and rear armor plates, which normally hide fuel tanks, as well as open armored covers of the upper hatches of the medical department.

The solution of the technical task is also aimed at the fact that the third tier of the placement of the wounded on the roof of the medical department is additionally equipped with an awning that covers the wounded from rainfall.

The technical task is also directed to the fact that the conveyor is additionally equipped with a system for protecting personnel from the effects of shock waves and radiation dust.

The stated technical problem is also solved due to the fact that the conveyor is additionally equipped with a life support system for personnel in the form of filtering and heating and ventilation installations.

The solution of the technical task is also aimed at the fact that the medical department is made with heat and noise insulation.

Also, the solution to the technical problem is achieved due to the fact that the conveyor is additionally equipped with an external smoke masking system.

The technical task posed, namely, ensuring the maximum number of transported wounded under protection against bullets and fragments while reducing their loading time, is achieved through the organization of the third tier for the placement of the wounded, located on the roof of the medical department. At the same time, it becomes possible to place an additional two more lying wounded on the roof, ensuring their protection from bullets and fragments with the help of side armored shields provided for sheltering external fuel tanks, a rear armor shield and upper manhole covers. Due to the installation on the cover of one of the hatches of the medical compartment of the winch and its drive, as well as the availability of a special folding ladder as part of the mechanization of the “loading-unloading” system, the maximum number of injured is loaded onto all three tiers with minimal time.

The medical department is capable of simultaneously accommodating a larger number of wounded: twelve wounded in the folding seats, four of which are double and are installed in the aisle of the engine compartment, or six wounded on a stretcher and four on the folding seats, or two wounded on a stretcher and eight on folding seats.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a side view of the proposed armored medical conveyor of the leading edge; in FIG. 2 shows a view A in FIG. 1, explaining the placement of bedridden wounded inside the medical compartment of the machine and on its roof; in FIG. 3 shows a view B in FIG. 2; in FIG. 4 shows a view A in FIG. 1, explaining the placement of bedridden and seated wounded inside the medical compartment of the machine and on its roof; in FIG. 5 is a view B of FIG. four; in FIG. 6 shows a folding ladder for loading the wounded inside the medical department and onto the roof from the ground in the starting position; in FIG. 7 shows a folding ladder in the folding position in half for the orderlies to load a stretcher with the wounded inside the medical department.

The armored medical conveyor (see Fig. 1, 2) contains a chassis with a caterpillar mover 1, independent torsion bar suspension and shock absorbers (not shown in the drawing), as well as a compartment located in a single case welded from steel sheets (not indicated in the drawing) compartment 2 controls, a motor-transmission compartment with engine and transmission compartments 3 and 4, respectively, as well as a medical compartment 5 with armored covers 6 of the top hatches. In addition, the conveyor includes fuel tanks 7 carried on the roof 8 of the medical department 5 and protected by side armor plates 9.

The medical compartment 5 is located in the rear of the hull directly behind the engine compartment 3 and is limited by the right and left sides of the conveyor 10 and 11, respectively.

The medical compartment 5 inside is made with a passage and two tiers - the first lower and second upper (not indicated in the drawing), the placement of the wounded on a stretcher 12 (see Fig. 3). Moreover, on the first tier, the stretchers 12 are placed on the sides of the aisle along the left and right sides 10 and 11 on the folding frames 13. On the second tier, the stretchers 12 are installed along the sides, placed on the folding frames 14 with the latter suspended on hinges from the sides of the sides 10, 11 and the suspension on belts (not indicated in the drawing) from the side of the aisle. As an option, folding frames 13 and 14 of the first and second tiers are installed with the possibility of folding them, if necessary, along the sides 10 and 11 and placing the wounded on the seats (not indicated in the drawing), while the folded frames of the first tier 13 serve as a support for the folding seats ( see Fig. 4, 5).

The medical department 5 is additionally equipped with a third tier for the placement of the wounded (not indicated in the drawing) on a stretcher 12 located on the roof 8. The latter can be loaded onto the roof 8 and fixed there (see Fig. 3). Moreover, the third tier is made protected from bullets and fragments. Also inside the medical department 5 is additionally equipped with a pair of stretchers 12, which, if necessary, can be placed in the passage of the medical department 5 with a suspension on belts (see Fig. 2) on the first and second tiers. In this case, the suspension of both folding frames with stretchers 12 on the first and second tiers, and additional stretchers 12 in the aisle is made using shock-absorbing devices (not shown in the drawing), and the stretchers 12 on the third tier are also fixed using spring shock-absorbing devices 15.

To facilitate the loading of the wounded inside the medical department 5, the conveyor incorporates a system for the mechanical loading and unloading of the wounded, including a winch 16 with a drive (not shown in the drawing) mounted on the roof 8 and equipped with a drag (not shown) for dragging the wounded, and a device for lifting the stretcher 12 to the appropriate tier and moving them in the form of a folding ladder 17 (see Fig. 6 and 7). In this case, the winch 16 with the drive is installed on the inner surface of the cover 6 of one of the upper hatches of the medical department 5.

The protection of 5 wounded from bullets and fragments located on the third tier of the medical department can be done with the help of raised side armor plates 18, which normally close fuel tanks 7 from above, rear armor plate 19, as well as open armored covers 6 of the top hatches.

The conveyor also provides protection for the wounded from rainfall, for which the third tier of the placement of the wounded on the roof 8 of the medical department 5 is additionally equipped with an awning (not shown in the drawing), covering the wounded from bad weather.

In addition, the conveyor is equipped with a system for protecting personnel from the effects of shock waves and radioactive dust (not shown in the drawing).

The safety of personnel is also ensured by the fact that the conveyor is additionally equipped with a life support system for personnel in the form of filtering and heating and ventilation units (not shown in the drawing) located inside the medical department 5.

Moreover, the medical department 5 is made with heat and noise insulation.

To mask the conveyor in combat conditions, the conveyor is additionally provided with a smoke masking system in the form of external smoke grenade launchers 20 located along the sides 9 and 10 of the conveyor.

To place unused folded stretchers 12 on the right and left sides 10 and 11, two brackets 21 are installed outside.

The work of the armored medical conveyor is as follows.

The medical transporter, upon arrival at the position, prepares to receive the wounded, while the necessary equipment is installed in the working position. If necessary, a smoke masking system in the form of external smoke grenade launchers 19 can be used to fire smoke grenades.

The wounded people can be brought to the open doors of the medical department 5 in the aft part of the conveyor on a stretcher 12, or the wounded can be pulled using a special folding drag and winch 16 with a drive. Moreover, with the help of a winch 16 mounted on the inner surface of one of the covers 6 of the upper hatch, in this case locked in the open position, the wounded can be dragged from any direction. The subsequent lifting and moving of the wounded inside the medical department 5 during their loading can also be carried out using a winch 16 using guide rollers (not shown in the drawing) along the folding ramp 17 to the folding frames 13 and 14 both along sides 10 and 11, and in the passage , the lower frames at the same time have the opportunity to advance to the doorway of the medical department 5. To facilitate the loading of the wounded inside the medical department - on the first and second tiers, and on the third tier - on the roof 8, a folding ladder is also used 17, which allows loading the wounded on a stretcher both from the ground (see Fig. 6), and by using a folding trawl 17 in an angled version with a stretcher loading by orderlies (see Fig. 7).

After filling the lower and upper tiers of the medical department 5, they go on to fill the third tier, placing the wounded on the third tier on a stretcher 12 on the roof 8, ensuring their protection from bullets and fragments and using open armored covers 6 of the upper hatches and the raised side and rear shields 18 and 19 respectively.

The medical department 5 is configured to simultaneously accommodate a larger number of wounded in comparison with the prototype: twelve wounded in the folding seats, four of which are double and can be installed in the aisle of the engine compartment, or six wounded on a stretcher and four on the folding seats, or two wounded on a stretcher and eight on folding seats with the possibility of placing two more wounded on a stretcher on the third tier of the medical unit on the roof. At the same time, the mechanization available on the conveyor, namely the winch 16 with a drive and a drag, as well as a folding ladder 17, make it possible to speed up the process of loading the wounded on board.

Stretchers with the wounded can be loaded onto the third tier on the roof 8 of the medical department 5 and fixed on shock-absorbing devices 15 (see Fig. 3).

Also, a tarpaulin awning can be stretched over the third tier of accommodation for the wounded on the roof 8 of the medical department 5, which covers the wounded from rain.

If necessary, in order to ensure the safety of personnel in the medical conveyor, a system of protection against the effects of shock waves and radiation dust can be used, which provides for sealing both the control unit 2 and the medical department 5, as well as the existence of a life support system in the form of a filter and ventilation unit with a filter absorber to clean the air and create the necessary excess pressure. The heating and ventilation unit on board the conveyor allows constant ventilation and heating of the air inside compartments 2 and 5 with the people there, maintaining the set temperature parameters in them. In addition, a more comfortable stay in the medical department 5 is ensured by the presence of heat and noise insulation.

Thus, the invention allows to ensure the maximum number of transported wounded in the conditions of their protection from bullets and fragments while reducing their loading time and ensuring the safety of personnel.
