Definitions
- the technical field of the invention is that of armored cabins for vehicles and in particular devices for protecting the floors of these cabins.
- the weld zones of the plates then constitute zones of weakness at which the floor may break when subjected to impact and blast resulting from the explosion of a mine or an improvised explosive device.
- the invention aims to provide a shielded cabin to overcome such drawbacks.
- the subject of the invention is an armored cabin for a vehicle, a cabin comprising at least one floor on which at least one side wall, floor or wall is fixed which is disposed above at least one mechanical member or mobility means, cabin characterized in that the floor and / or at least one side wall is constituted by a protection plate having at least one curved area capping at least partially the mechanical member or the mobility means.
- the floor may include at least one curved area capping an axle.
- the curved zone or zones of the floor extend over substantially the entire width of the cabin, the floor thus comprising at least two substantially flat portions parallel to one another separated by the curved zone or zones.
- the floor or a side wall comprises at least one curved area at least partly covering the mobility means such as wheels or caterpillars.
- the curved zone may thus form at least one concave lateral chute.
- the armored cab can thus comprise on each side, a lateral chute extending over substantially the entire length of the cabin
- the protection plate may be a folded aluminum plate.
- the thickness of this protection plate will be at least 20 mm.
- FIG. 1 shows in partial longitudinal section a vehicle equipped with a cabin according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the same vehicle in plan view and in section along the plane whose track AA is visible in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows in a schematic cross section a vehicle equipped with a car according to a second embodiment of FIG. embodiment of the invention, section taken along the plane whose trace BB is visible in FIG. 4, and
- FIG. 1 shows a light armored vehicle 1 comprising a cabin 2 fixed to a chassis 3 carrying wheels 4.
- the interior of the cabin is accessible through a door 5 and it contains seats 6 which are suspended from the ceiling of the cabin 2 by a supporting structure 7.
- Such an arrangement is conventional and allows to isolate the seats 6 of the floor 8 of the cabin, which protects the crew against the deformations of the floor 8 caused by the explosion of a mine.
- the floor 8 is integral with the side walls 2a, 2b of the cabin 2.
- a floor protection device is also provided. It comprises a shielding plate 10 (for example of steel) which is arranged at a distance from the floor 8 of the cabin and connected thereto by fastening means 11.
- a shielding plate 10 for example of steel
- a mechanical member 12 for example a gearbox, is disposed between the frame 3 and the floor 8.
- the floor 8 is above the mechanical member 12 and has at least one curved area at least partially covering the mechanical member 12.
- curved areas 13a, 13b having curvatures opposite to one another and tangent to each other. These areas are in the form of cylindrical portions.
- the entire floor 8 (and in particular the curved areas 13a, 13b) extends over substantially the entire width of the cabin 2, a side wall 2a to the other side wall 2b.
- the floor 8 thus comprises two substantially flat portions 8a and 8b, parallel to one another, and separated by the curved areas 13a, 13b.
- the floor 8 is thus constituted by a thick protective plate which is a folded aluminum plate. This plate has a thickness of at least 20 mm.
- Such thick metal plates are folded industrially using a tool combining a tool for holding the plate, a form tool to give the desired curvature and on which the plate is applied using a press which is dimensioned according to the characteristics of the material of the plate.
- This shaping of thick metal plates is known for example in the field of the manufacture of tanks. It has so far never been implemented to make a floor or walls of armored vehicles.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 are only schematic representations of a particular embodiment.
- the floor plate 8 may comprise several curved zones 13 of different shapes. Two curved zones 13 delimiting three planar surfaces may thus be provided, for example for combing with each curved zone one of the axles of the vehicle.
- FIGS 3 and 4 show another embodiment of a cabin 2 according to the invention
- the cabin 2 has two lower side walls 14a and 14b which are arranged below the side walls 2a, 2b.
- the lateral walls 14a, 14b are in the form of concave troughs whose curvature covers at least part of the mobility means which are here wheels 4.
- the concave lateral chutes 14a, 14b extend over substantially the entire length of the booth 2.
- Each chute 14 thus covers all the wheels 4 arranged on the same side of the cabin 2.
- the troughs 14a, 14b are made in the form of thick aluminum plates and folded to the desired shape (thickness of the order of 20 mm). Due to the curvature of the troughs 14a, 14b, there is no breakage of welds to be feared during the explosion of a mine or an improvised explosive device.
- curvature of the troughs 14a, 14b also provides a deflection of the blast of the explosion which increases the protection provided by these wall elements.
- chutes 14a, 14b it is of course possible to use chutes 14a, 14b to cover mobility means of different types, for example caterpillars. Depending on the total length of the vehicle it will be possible to make each side wall 14a or 14b, not in the form of a single chute, but by assembling several chutes arranged longitudinally one behind the other. Each chute will then be advantageously fixed on an armature integral with the cabin.
