Definitions

• the invention relates to an armored vehicle with a crew of the vehicle receiving safety cell with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
• Protected vehicles have the problem of having too high a total weight because protection becomes more difficult as the threat increases. Depending on the useful volume and protection level, they are 30-50 times heavy. Medium heavy wheeled vehicles up to max. 20t can not be equipped with the highest protection due to weight issues. This leads to unwanted compromises. Various vehicles are unbalanced protected and have z. B. a good mine protection, but only an average ballistic protection.
• an armored vehicle that is composed of several main modules.
• the safety cell is arranged in a supporting structure of the vehicle, so that the shock waves occurring in the explosion of landmines, which act from below on the safety cell of the vehicle are attenuated with respect to the persons in the vehicle.
• a vehicle with protection against the action of a landmine is also disclosed in DE 10 2004 026 237 A1. Described is a V-shaped or pointed safety cell in the floor area. The related to this embodiment figure shows a double-walled construction.
• the Jane's International Defense Review September 2005, page 92 is an explosive representation of an armored vehicle removable in which various modules of the vehicle are displayed. It is carried out here that the V-shape of the floor area of the vehicle or of the crew module represents a better reduction of the effect of blast mines.
• the invention has as its object to provide a preferably armored vehicle, such as a medium-weight vehicle, which also without particularly additional weight-consuming armor sufficient protection for the occupant of the vehicle in the security cell both before mines and acting on the side walls shock waves of explosive charges or guaranteed by ballistic missiles.
• a preferably armored vehicle such as a medium-weight vehicle, which also without particularly additional weight-consuming armor sufficient protection for the occupant of the vehicle in the security cell both before mines and acting on the side walls shock waves of explosive charges or guaranteed by ballistic missiles.
• the invention is based on the fact that an optimum shape of the safety cell is provided by a honeycomb-shaped cross-sectional shape.
• a honeycomb-shaped cross-sectional shape namely a substantially hexagonal cross-section
• the roof and bottom walls of the security cell have a substantially horizontal course, while the side walls of the security cell have an outwardly widening wedge-shaped course. This angle is preferably 90 °.
• the safety cell is provided with projecting pockets at the front and rear of the roof, which are open at the bottom and preferably rest on deformable elements on the supporting structure of the vehicle.
• the roof of the security cell is longer than the cell itself.
• the support points far outward whereby the arms of the support structure as wide as the roof of the cell.
• these pockets are preferably connected via obliquely into the side wall of the safety cell incoming sheets.
• honeycomb-shaped cross section of the entire safety cell not only ideally dissipates the effect of the shock waves from below and from the side, but also produces a particularly rigid self-supporting structure of the safety cell.
• the support structure has a directed towards the bottom of the vehicle, narrowing wedge-shaped course, which is adapted to the lower regions of the inclined side walls of the safety cell.
• an insulation and a splinter protection liner are arranged on the inside in the lower region of the safety cell. These reduce the effect of penetrating secondary fragments.
• the roof of the security cell can be additionally provided with a special protection.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an armored wheeled vehicle with a safety cell according to the invention.
• FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the safety cell of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1;
• FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the security cell shown in FIG. 2 with additional protective elements arranged on the outside and on the inside;
• FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the security cell shown in FIG. 2 with additional protective elements arranged on the outside and on the inside;
• FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the safety cell shown in FIG. 2 taken up by a support structure of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1;
• FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the safety cell shown in FIG. 2 taken up by a support structure of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1;
• FIG. 5 shows a representation of a projecting pocket of the security cell in a front view
• Fig. 6 is a side view of the bag.
• Fig. 1 is denoted by 1 an armored wheeled vehicle, which includes a crew of the vehicle receiving security cell 2 according to the invention.
• the safety cell 2 is an assembly of the main module, which is composed of cell and support structure. This main module is assembled with a drive module and Achsbaustein to a vehicle and is mounted in a support structure 3 (FIG. 4) of the vehicle 1.
• the size of the security cell 2 is selected in the illustrated embodiment such that the crew can consist of a driver, a passenger and four other crew members.
• the safety cell 2 preferably has a substantially hexagonal cross section (FIG. 2).
• the side walls 4, 5 above and below a belt line 6 of about half the height of the security cell 1 on an opposite slope ß of about 45 °, so that the two side walls 4, 5 of the security cell 2 is narrowing towards the outside have wedge-shaped course with a wedge angle ⁇ of about 90 °.
• an angle ⁇ between 30 ° and 45 ° can be used, whereby the angle value of the wedge angle ⁇ increases.
• the roof and bottom walls 8, 9 of the security cell 2 preferably have a substantially horizontal course.
• the front and rear walls 10, 11 are formed inclined for connection to the safety cell 2 receiving support structure 3.
• the support structure 3 has a directed to the bottom 18 of the vehicle 1, narrowing wedge-shaped course, which is adapted to the lower portions 4 ' , 5 ' of the inclined side walls 4, 5 of the security cell 2.
• All door openings 13 for entering the inner space 7 are located in the upper region of the safety cell 2 in order to ensure optimal mine protection.
• the walls 4, 5 and 8-11 of the security cell 2 are advantageously made of armored steel. As shown in FIG. 3, the two side walls 4, 5 are also provided on the outside with a ballistic protection 14. In addition, the security cell is the second receiving support structure 3 on the outside with a mine protection 15. Furthermore, inside the side walls 4, 5 of the safety cell 2 there are in each case a liner (intermediate wall) 16 and an insulation 17.
• the safety cell 2 For hooking into the support structure 3 (FIG. 4), the safety cell 2 has pockets 12 projecting forward and backward on the roof-side wall 8 (see also FIG. 2), which are open at the bottom and rest on the support structure 3, whereby the safety cell 2 (Fig. 2) in the support structure 3 can be suspended.
• the roof 8 of the safety cell 2 is shown longer than the safety cell 2.
• the arms 19 of the support structure 3 are preferably just as wide as the roof 8 of the safety cell 2.
• An additional stiffening can be created, for example, by means of lateral metal sheets 20 (FIG. 6) arranged vertically or obliquely. If these formed pockets 12 are connected via plates 21 entering at an angle into the side wall of the safety cell 2, the course of the force flow between the support structure 3 and the safety cell 2 can also be adjusted.
• the projecting pockets 12 can be modified and the support structure of the vehicle are individually adjustable.
