Definitions

  • This invention is related to the field of defense, particularly with demining systems and in particular, it is a humanitarian demining system, characterized by being small in size and easily transportable.
  • roller-type demining machines this system uses a number of very heavy metal discs anchored to an armored vehicle, which pushes and drags them on the ground, the pressure generated by the metal discs explodes the mines below Of the same. Regarding the sifters, it is a safer system, but there remains the risk that a detonator remains between the various discs, in the space where they are separated. Likewise, this system cannot be applied in places where there is vegetation. This system also does not comply with European standards (European Committee for Standardization, CWA 15044: 2004) for demining, since the certification of cleanliness of the area is extremely low, since the disks do not penetrate the earth.
  • tiller-type demining machines have the advantage that they penetrate the earth, the route is very complete and guarantees good ground cover, however, they present problems. In the first place, they are the heaviest, of the order of tens of tons, which implies that they need more energy not only to move, but also the system of metal teeth alone requires a lot of energy. In addition, this system is only for industrial mines, limiting its applicability to improvised explosive devices. Additionally, although it can carry out activities on land with some type of vegetation, it is not a viable system in areas with very thick vegetation. This background is found in US Patent 6,382,069 Bl, called Demining method and dedicated demining vehicle, by Kann Kjell Haughom et al.
  • Mine type / 7 demining machines said machines use an axle, incorporated into an armored vehicle which pushes it, from which a circumferential array of chains is glued. By rotating the shaft, the centrifugal force causes the chains to lengthen outward, the tip of each chain has a metal hammer, which is the one that hits the ground.
  • This system has the advantage that it is very energy efficient, the chains are very good for cutting vegetation and like the demining machines type - // e / penetrate the earth, which makes them comply with International standards
  • this system has the disadvantage that the land cover is not as good as in manual methods, because the chains float freely, so empty places can be created.
  • the modular, portable, disassembled and transportable sweeper vehicle is much safer, being this tele operated, so it is not generated in any moment a risk to the life of the operator.
  • the modular and portable teleoperated sweeper vehicle is much faster, it allows to perform in a single operation the demining and cutting of vegetation, while with the manual system they must be carried out separately.
  • the speed of the vehicle with modular, portable and transportable tele-operated barremines has a lower operating cost. Being a mechanic there are also less labor costs.
  • the modular, disassembled and transportable teleoperated sweeper vehicle has the advantage that the ground through which it passes is completely clean, it really performs a demining operation and not a simple delimitation of the mined surface, they are not left discovered points, complying with international regulations. It is lighter and faster, which reduces operating time and therefore costs, is more energy efficient.
  • the modular, disassembled and transportable teleoperated sweeper vehicle has the obvious advantage of complying with international regulations when penetrating the earth. It also has a better percentage of detoned mines wherever it passes. Additionally, the advantage of the disarmable and transportable modular teleoperated sweeper vehicle is that it can operate in areas of high vegetation while retaining all its virtues, it is lighter, since each disc of a roller must be sufficiently heavy to detonate mines, that is, each disc must weigh 40 kilos. The fact of being so heavy makes transport difficult, while the vehicle can be operated by modular, portable and transportable telecommuting, as the name implies, it is made up of disassembled and transportable modules by people.
  • tiller type demining machines the modular, portable, disassembled and transportable tele-operated sweeper vehicle is exponentially lighter and less rigid, so it dissipates the energy of the detonation better, in effect the chains dissipate the energy and thanks to the centrifugal force return to their original position.
  • tiller type demining machines are the ones that consume the most energy due to their high weight and the rigid teeth, in case of detonation of the mine, receive all the force of the shock wave, so they tend to start, affecting the integrity and functionality of the machine.
  • the modular, portable, disassembled and transportable barremines vehicle is usable not only with industrial mines, such as tiller type demining machines, but also with improvised explosive devices, which are the majority reality of countries such as Colombia, Afghanistan, Siri Lanka, Sudan, Laos and Cambodia. For all these countries the technology of tiller type demining machines is not applicable.
  • the weight, the modular, portable and transportable teleoperated sweeper vehicle is very light, so it requires less energy for its use.

  • FIGURE 2 Side view of the disarmable and transportable modular tele operated sweeper.

  • FIGURE 4 Isometric view of the dismountable and transportable modular tele operated barremines vehicle tracker with the blade that connects the front chassis with the rear chassis
  • the disarmable and transportable modular tele operated sweeper vehicle is a tele operated vehicle up to a meter and a half wide; up to two and a half meters long and up to one and a half meters high (FIGURE 1). It consists of several elements: a demining tool type trust / 7 (FIGURE 1 - A), that is to say a tool composed of an axis (FIGURE 1 -B) that has a series of chains attached or optionally cutting elements (FIGURE 1 - C), according to the needs since the demining process may require the intervention of vegetation, for which sharp cutting elements and not chains will be necessary.
  • Said axis (FIGURE 1 - B) is supported by two arms of the structure (FIGURE 1 - D), one on each side, composed of a metal chassis (FIGURE 1 - E), which have composite shielding sheets (FIGURE 1 - F) at the points of union of the arms with the axle and with the front chassis, thus protecting the mechanical assembly that joins them.
  • Said arms by means of the aforementioned assembly, are attached to a structure which contains a cavity that in turn contains the combustion engine, called the front chassis (FIGURE 1 - G).
  • a metal foil (FIGURE 2 - L) joins the front chassis with screws to a rear chassis (FIGURE 1 - H), of smaller dimensions, which contains traction motors and batteries.
  • the track system is connected (FIGURE 2 - FIGURE 1 - I).
  • the disarmable and transportable modular tele operated sweeper vehicle uses gasoline and electricity for operation.
  • the front chassis has an armored gas tank and an engine. From the front chassis motor (FIGURE 1 - G) mechanical energy is derived, which feeds the chains or cutting elements (FIGURE 1 - C), and electrical energy, which feeds the batteries contained in the rear chassis (FIGURE 1 - H), which in turn feed the track system (FIGURE 1 - I and FIGURE 2).
  • the mechanical, rotational energy is used for the chains or cutting elements to rotate and strike the floor.
  • the electric one departs for everything electronic: control, battery charging and traction. It is therefore two energy systems that have the engine in common.
  • the disarmable and transportable modular tele operated sweeper vehicle is hybrid for logistical considerations; Because this gives you greater autonomy by not having to be constantly charging the batteries, but rather they are charged with the same car operation. In this way, if for some reason the mechanical energy fails, the disarmable and transportable modular tele operated sweeper vehicle can be returned to safe repair areas by means of electric power, without the tele operator having to enter the mined area.
  • the engine contained in the front chassis (FIGURE 1 - G) is suspended on a level change mechanism (FIGURE 3), designed to allow the vehicle to reach slopes greater than 45 degrees without decreasing its power or without shutting down.
  • This level change mechanism is composed of a platform (FIGURE 3 - P) which holds the engine through a mechanical assembly and which has two arms at its bottom (FIGURE 3 - Q) with a hole (FIGURE 3 - R), which alternate with the two arms welded to the base of the chassis (FIGURE 3 - S) which also have holes, one upper (FIGURE 3 - U) and one lower (FIGURE 3 - T).
  • the mentioned level change mechanism can be regulated in several ways: by means of a remote system with linear actuators, which would be predetermined in each itinerary by the operator, or by means of perforated plates, which would be fixed and not manipulable by the operator , or through autonomous technologies.
  • the front chassis (FIGURE 1 - G) and the rear chassis (FIGURE 1 - H) have an angle, with respect to the vertical (FIGURE 1 - J), which allows the deflection of the explosive wave generated by the mines so that the Impact received is dissipated without hitting the entire structure of the vehicle.
  • Both chassis are joined by means of a sheet, which is the one that keeps the tracks of the track together in its inner part (FIGURE 1 - L, FIGURE 2 - L), which creates a mechanism to dissipate the explosive wave. Indeed, it allows the rotation of the front chassis (FIGURE 1 - G) and the sweeping tool connected to it (FIGURE 1 - A) with respect to the rear chassis (FIGURE 1 ⁇ H ) and the track system (FIGURE 1 - I) in this way allowing to maintain the stability of the vehicle in case of an explosion, since only the front chassis would be lifted, keeping the rear chassis the vehicle in its route and thus avoiding displacements of the vehicle that can leave spaces without demining.
  • FIGURE 1 - L Said sheet (FIGURE 1 - L, FIGURE 2 - L), while protecting the track system internally, assembles the front chassis and the rear chassis.
  • the sheet has a triangular shape, with cut angles and rounded tips (FIGURE 2 - M).
  • On the right side of the upper angle there are three holes (FIGURE 2 - N) in which the screws that attach the track system to the rear chassis (FIGURE 1 - H) are inserted. It also has a fourth hole (FIGURE 2 - O), on the left side of the upper angle, which fixes the track system to the front chassis (FIGURE 1 - G).
  • the sheet is thus rigidly assembled by means of screws to the rear chassis and is pivoted with a screw in the front chassis, so that it can be rotated.
  • the front chassis rotates over this hole, which does not fall because a tensioner, which can be another sheet or a cable, holds it at the top of the rear chassis.
