Landmine treatment device and treatment method

Technical field

The present invention relates to a mine processing device and a mine processing method for safely processing a mine installed below the ground surface.

Background art

[0002] Land mines are used to kill people or destroy vehicles such as tanks. Mine is an explosive containing explosives in a container, which can be placed on the ground or buried below the ground surface. Such mines include anti-personnel mines, which are mainly used to kill humans, and anti-tank mines, which are mainly used to destroy vehicles such as tanks.

[0003] In an antipersonnel mine, when a pressure of about 3 to 20 kg acts on the fuse or a pulling force of about 2 to 5 kg or more acts on a trap wire connected to the fuse, the fuse is activated and the antipersonnel mine is activated. explode . This antipersonnel mine has a total weight of about 0.1-2. Okg and an explosive weight of about 25-200 g. When an anti-tank mine exerts a pressure of about 180 to 200 kg on the fuse, the fuse is activated and the anti-tank mine explodes. This anti-tank mine has a total weight of about 7-15 kg and an explosive weight of about 5-10 kg. These mine containers often also have non-magnetic material forces.

[0004] Such anti-personnel mines and anti-tank mines are used in conflict areas, and it is said that more than 200 million mines are buried in dozens of countries around the world, and 2 million It is said that more than one is newly buried. With so many landmines buried in this way, hundreds of people are killed every day by landmines that remain buried even after the end of the conflict. It is.

[0005] Such buried land mines are removed by the army during the war, but the removal is limited to a minimum, and the minimum passage width of the troops passing through the land mine field is, for example, 115m. In this case, the landmine is not processed in an area other than the passage. For this reason, a large number of land mines remain buried even after the conflict, and the remaining land mines are a major problem. In particular, if it is left for a long time after being buried, it may be washed away by floods, landslides, etc. Or become buried deep, making their discovery difficult, and their processing becomes more difficult over time.

[0006] At present, international NGOs and other organizations are engaged in rescue operations for landmine victims, and are also removing landmines that have been buried and abandoned. This mine removal work is carried out by using a portable mine detection system, using this mine detection system to detect every buried mine, excavating each detected mine one by one, removing the fuse, and invalidating it. (For example, see Patent Document 1).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, various embodiments of a landmine treatment apparatus and method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First embodiment

In FIG. 1, the illustrated mine processing device 2 is mounted on a traveling vehicle 6 traveling on the ground 4, and the traveling vehicle 6 travels on the ground as required to remove the buried mine 8. Invalidate as described below.

[0033] The mine processing device 2 is for disabling the mine 8 using microwaves, and includes a power supply means 10, a drive circuit means 12, and a microwave irradiation means 14, and the power supply means 10 and the drive circuit. The means 12 is mounted on a vehicle body 16 of the traveling vehicle 6, and the microwave irradiating means 14 is mounted on a front end of a support frame structure 18 mounted on the vehicle body 16. The support frame structure 18 is composed of a plurality of leg frame members 20 attached to the vehicle body 16 and a support frame member 24 supported by the leg frame members 20. The support frame member 24 extends forward. Microwave irradiation means 14 is attached to the tip.

[0034] The microwave irradiation means 14 includes an irradiation housing 26 attached to the distal end of the support frame member 24, a waveguide 28 attached inside the irradiation housing 26, and an attached waveguide 28. And a magnetron 30 that generates microwaves Microwave generating means is constituted, and the waveguide 28 constitutes microwave radiating means for irradiating the microwave toward the mine processing area S. The drive circuit means 12 on the vehicle body 16 side is electrically connected to the magnetron 30, and is configured such that the drive current from the drive circuit means 12 causes the magnetron 30 to oscillate and generate microwaves. An electromagnetic shield plate 32 made of a steel plate is provided around the irradiation housing 26. The electromagnetic shield plate 32 defines, for example, a rectangular irradiation area S, that is, a mine treatment area. The front-to-rear direction (left-right direction in Fig. 1) is about 1.5-2.0 m in length, and the horizontal width (direction perpendicular to the paper in Fig. 1) is about 15-20 m, for example. Is set to

[0035] The frequency of the irradiated microwave is preferably in the range of about 300MHz to 100GHz, and by using the microwave of such a frequency, high energy can be applied to the mine 8 left in the ground. The mine 8 can be nullified as described below. In addition, it is desirable to increase the output of the irradiating microwave.

The mine processing by the mine processing device 2 described above is performed, for example, as follows.

It is sufficient to drive the traveling vehicle 6 to the minefield that has been buried and left, and run the entire area of the minefield while irradiating microwaves. When the power supply means 10 and the drive circuit means 12 are operated to oscillate the magnetron 30, microwaves from the magnetron 30 are transmitted through the waveguide 28, and from the lower end of the waveguide 28 downward to the ground 4. Irradiated toward the irradiation area (demining area) S surrounded by the electromagnetic shield plate 32, and the irradiated mic mouth wave passes through the ground and is transmitted to the buried land mine 8 .

[0037] Since the microwaves act on the buried mine 8 in this manner, the microwave-powered energy sinters and burns the fuze of the mine 8, thereby rendering the fuze inoperable. Mine 8 can be nullified when buried. Further, when the microwaves are transmitted to the mine 8, if the explosive of the mine 8 contains moisture, the moisture is heated and expanded by the microwave energy, and this heating is performed. The expansion explodes the built-in explosives and the entire mine, and this crushing can also invalidate the mine 8. Furthermore, when microwaves are transmitted to mine 8, the explosive itself in mine 8 is heated to a high temperature. However, the explosive itself is degraded due to the high temperature heating and the explosive ability becomes impossible, and the mine 8 can be invalidated in a state where the explosive is buried.

Second embodiment

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a description will be given of a second embodiment of a mine processing apparatus for implementing another example of the mine processing method. In the second embodiment, land mines are nullified using a blast treatment block.

In FIG. 2, the mine processing device 2A is also mounted on a traveling vehicle 6A traveling on the ground 4, and similarly to the first embodiment, for example, is provided in front of the vehicle body 16 via a support frame structure 18A. Placed on the side. The mine treatment device 2A has a treatment device housing 52, and a large rectangular opening 54 is provided on the lower surface of the treatment device housing 52. A blast block 56 is mounted in this opening 54 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. ing. Further, a blast treatment block 58 is supported in the treatment device housing 52 so as to be vertically movable.

In this embodiment, a vertically extending guide rod 60 is provided at the center of the upper end of the blasting block 56, and a through-hole 62 is provided at the center of the blasting processing block 58, which penetrates vertically. The guide rod 60 is passed through the through hole 62, and the tip of the guide rod 60 extends upward through the upper wall of the processing apparatus housing 52. The blasting block 56 and the blasting block 58 also have, for example, a steel block force. The blasting block 58 is formed of a cube having a side of, for example, about 7 to 10 m, and the blasting block 56 is blasted. The thickness is slightly smaller than the processing block 58, and the thickness is about half that of the processing block 58.

The blast treatment block 58 is configured to be moved up and down using air pressure.

The mine processing apparatus 2A further includes high-pressure air generating means 64 such as a compressor for generating high-pressure air. The high-pressure air generating means 64 is mounted on the vehicle body 16, and Is supplied to the processor housing 52. A lower opening 66 is provided at the lower end of the processing apparatus housing 52, and an upper opening 68 is provided at the upper end thereof. When the high-pressure air from the high-pressure air generating means 64 is supplied to the first space 70 (the lower space in FIG. 2) in the processing device housing 52 through the lower opening 66, the high-pressure air causes the blast treatment. Block 58 is raised as shown by the two-dot chain line . At this time, the high-pressure air in the second space 72 (the upper space in FIG. 2) in the processing apparatus housing 52 is discharged to the outside through the upper opening 68. When the high-pressure air from the high-pressure air generating means 64 is supplied to the second space 72 through the upper opening 68, the action of the high-pressure air and its own weight causes the blasting treatment block 58 to move to the ascending position indicated by the two-dot chain line. When the blast block 56 is dropped to the lowering position indicated by the solid line and falls down brute force, a large impact can be applied to the blast block 56. At this time, the high-pressure air in the first space 70 is discharged outside through the lower opening 66. In the case of a fall, the blasting block 56 may be impacted by using only the own weight of the blasting block 58 without supplying high-pressure air.

[0042] The mine processing by the mine processing apparatus 2A described above is performed, for example, as follows.

The traveling vehicle 6A travels to the minefield in the same manner as described above, and while moving from the one end in the lateral direction of the minefield to the other end in the predetermined direction (the front-rear direction of the traveling vehicle 6A) by a predetermined distance, An impact is applied to the ground 4 by the blasting block 58, and after moving from one end to the other end, it moves a predetermined distance in the width direction perpendicular to the above predetermined direction, and then moves the other end by a predetermined distance toward one end. Just move and impact the ground 4 in the same way. During this movement, the area where the previous impact was applied (the area where the blast block 56 worked) and the area where the current shock was applied (the area where the blast block 56 worked after the movement) overlapped by a predetermined width, for example, about 12 m. By stacking in this manner, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of untreated areas and to ensure the blasting of land mines 8 left unburied.

When disposing of the buried mine 8, high-pressure air from the high-pressure air generating means 64 is supplied to the first space 70 through the lower opening 66, and the blast treatment block 58 is raised (shown by a two-dot chain line). Position), and then high-pressure air from the high-pressure air generating means 64 is supplied to the second space 72 through the upper opening 68 to drop the blasting block 58 to the blasting block 56. When the force is applied, the dropped explosion treatment block 58 falls onto the blast block 56, and a large impact is generated by contact with the blast block 56. The impact generated by the force is transmitted to the ground 4. Accordingly, the fuze is activated by this impact, and the mine 8 explodes. Even in this case, the mine 8 left buried can be nullified.

In the second embodiment, the explosion processing block 58 is dropped on the blast block 56. The force generating the impact by lowering the blasting block 56 may be omitted, and the impact may be generated by dropping the explosion processing block 58 directly onto the ground 4.

In FIG. 7, the illustrated microwave generation means 140 includes a crystal oscillator 162, a resonance amplifier 164, a plurality of microwave generators 166 (a first microphone mouth wave generator 166a, a second microwave break generator 166b, a third ), A plurality of isolators 168 (first isolators 168a, second isolators 168b, third isolators 168 ...), a combiner 170 and a power monitor 172. Crystal oscillator 162 A transmission of a predetermined frequency, for example, 31.25 MHz, is performed, and the resonance amplifier 164 amplifies this frequency to, for example, about 1000 MHz, and the amplified frequency signal is supplied to a plurality of microwave generators 166 (first to n-th). Microwave generators 166a-166η).

[0055] The plurality of microwave generators 166 have substantially the same configuration, and include a phase shifter 174 and a klystron 176. The phase shifter 174 changes the phase of the frequency signal from the resonating amplifier 164, and Reference numeral 176 applies velocity modulation to the electron flow based on the frequency signal to extract a microphone mouth wave. Downstream of each klystron 176, an isolator 168 is provided. The isolator 168 passes microwaves (that is, traveling waves) traveling from the microwave generator 166 to the synthesizer 170, and passes from the synthesizer 170 to the microwave generator 166. And acts to absorb the receding microwaves (that is, reflected waves). Accordingly, the microwaves (that is, traveling waves) generated by the plurality of microwave generators 166 (the first-first η microwave generators 166a-166η) are converted into the corresponding isolators 168 (the first-first η-isolators 168a-168η). ) Is transmitted to the synthesizer 170.

The synthesizer 170 synthesizes the microwaves from the plurality of microwave generators 166 as required, transmits the synthesized microwave to the power monitor 172, and the power monitor (A wave and a reflected wave) are monitored, and the microphone mouth wave monitored by force is transmitted from the microwave transmitting means 142. In such a mine processing apparatus 102, the output of the microwave transmitted through the power monitor 172 is set to about 800 to 5000 kW, and the frequency thereof is set to about 0.3 to 100 GHz. By setting such a sufficiently high output, the buried mine 8 can be effectively nullified using the energy of microwaves.
