  • the flail and rotary-type land mine removing equipment is not suitable to perform land mine removal in post-war peaceful reconstruction.
  • the flail and rotary-type land mine removing equipment is not suited to mountainous areas with dense tree growth. Specifically, it is necessary to not only exhume bones, but also remove unexploded shells and land mines at the area where land mines are mixed with unexploded shells, chemical bombs, and bones, as in a post-war country. Consequently, land mine exploding and crushing equipment cannot be used in this case. The unexploded shells and the land mines must be removed while the bones are exhumed. In the case of removing land mines in mountainous areas, trees must be removed first to obtain a work space necessary to operate the land mine removing equipment.
  • This publication discloses a land mine clearing vehicle that is capable of detecting land mines, searching for the detected land mines, and collecting the searched land mines while performing tree removal.
  • the construction of the land mine clearing vehicle disclosed in the above- mentioned publication is as follows.

  • the land mine clearing vehicle is moved rearward or the vehicle body 1 of the land mine clearing vehicle is rotated to transfer the tree gripped by the grip part 12 to a safe place where no land mine is laid.
  • the power saw 30 attached to the front end of the piston rod 22 of the hydraulic cylinder 20 is turned such that the land mine detector 32 is placed in front of the power saw 30.
  • the land mine detector 32 When the vehicle body 1 of the land mine clearing vehicle is rotated in the above-mentioned state, the land mine detector 32 is turned about the vehicle body as the central axis to detect a land mine. When the land mine is detected by the land mine detector 32, paint is injected through a nozzle (not shown), which is connected to the land mine detector 32, to indicate location of the land mine. After the land mine detection within the predetermined radius is finished as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the grip part 12 is detached from the front end of the multi-joint link 10, and then a land mine removing and collecting bucket 40 is attached to the front end of the multi-joint link 10.

Consequently, although the price of the conventional land mine clearing vehicle is very high, the conventional land mine clearing vehicle performs only predetermined operations.
  • the conventional land mine clearing vehicle has limited applicability.
  • Current land mine detectors are a metal detector, by which a plastic land mine, such as an Ml 4 antipersonnel land mine, cannot be detected.
  • the plastic land mine is not effectively detected, and therefore, only a limited number of plastic land mines can be removed from post-war countries or countries where land mines must be removed for compliance with the international antipersonnel land mine prohibition agreement. Consequently, the plastic land mines, which cannot be detected by the land mine detector, are exploded. In this way, the plastic land mines are removed.

  • the land mine removing means is a high-pressure injector for injecting high-pressure air or high-pressure water into the ground such that the land mine laid in the ground is exposed.
  • the land mine removing means is an antipersonnel land mine crusher for repeatedly striking the ground where the land mine is laid with a predetermined load to explode the land mine.

  • the multi-purpose land mine and unexploded shell clearing vehicle according to the present invention has the following effects.
  • land mine removing devices and tree removing devices are selectively attached to the multi-purpose land mine and unexploded shell clearing vehicle in various fashions at the area where unexploded shells, land mines, and bones are mixed as in a post-war country or in a mountainous area with dense tree growth. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of improving compatibility of the devices, and therefore, maximizing applicability of the devices.
  • the plastic antitank land mine which cannot be detected by the metal detector, is collected and then removed without exploding the plastic antitank land mine, and the Ml 4 plastic antipersonnel land mine, which generates a small amount of dust and low explosive noise when exploded, is detonated. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of minimizing environmental contamination and ecosystem destruction, and therefore, performing environmentally-friendly land mine removal.

  • the magnetic adsorber 100 is turned about the land mine clearing vehicle as the central axis to adsorb metal debris of the exploded land mine scattered on the ground and in the ground within a rotating radius of the land mine clearing vehicle.
  • the magnetic adsorber may be used to adsorb metal materials while being turned on the ground where the land mine detection using the land mine detector will be performed in order to prevent the land mine detector from being wrongly operated due to the metal materials while the land mine detection is performed using the land mine detector.

  • the vibratory scraping bucket 120 which is attached to the front end of the multi-joint link 50, is provided with scrapers 121, which are arranged while being spaced a predetermined distance from each other such that the M14 antipersonnel land mine does not pass through the space between the respective scrapers 121.
  • To the vibrating scraping bucket 120 is attached a vibrating unit 122.
  • the vibratory scraping bucket 120 When the operator digs the ground where the land mine is laid to a predetermined depth using the vibratory scraping bucket 120, and then vibrates the vibratory scraping bucket 120, the soil falls through the spaces between the scrapers 121. As a result, only the land mine is placed in the vibratory scraping bucket 120.

Consequently, the present invention has the effect of improving compatibility of the devices, and therefore, maximizing applicability of the devices.
  • the plastic antitank land mine which cannot be detected by the metal detector, is collected and then removed without exploding the plastic antitank land mine, and the M14 plastic antipersonnel land mine, which generates a small amount of dust and low explosive sounds when exploded, is detonated. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of minimizing environmental contamination and ecosystem destruction, and therefore, performing environmentally-friendly land mine removal.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un véhicule de dégagement de mine terrestre polyvalent, qui comporte un siège d'opérateur à l'épreuve des bombes revêtu de métal. On recueille une munition ou mine terrestre non explosée, pouvant être détectée par un détecteur métallique, que l'on ne fait pas exploser après ce repérage. S'agissant d'une mine terrestre en plastique, du type antichar M19 ou antipersonnel M14, non détectable par ledit détecteur, on creuse le sol à l'emplacement, et la terre est éliminée par un godet vibratoire aux fins de collecte sans explosion. La mine M14, qui affecte peu l'environnement à l'explosion, peut ainsi être mise à feu et éliminée. En conséquence, le véhicule considéré peut accomplir un dégagement compatible avec l'environnement sur des terrains dans lesquels se trouvent pêle-mêle les armes citées et des ossements ou bien sur des terrains montagneux à couverture d'arbres dense, tout en réduisant au minimum la contamination de l'environnement et la destruction de l'écosystème.
