Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Handrad zur Betätigung des Lukendeckels an einem Kampffahrzeug, insbesondere einem Kampfpanzer.The invention relates to a handwheel for actuating the hatch cover on a combat vehicle, in particular a battle tank.
Sei der Anbringung von Splitter- oder Strahlenschutzmaterialien im Innenraum eines Kampfpanzers gibt es speziell im Bereich unterhalb der Luken Platzprobleme.There are space problems, especially in the area below the hatches, of attaching splinter or radiation protection materials to the interior of a battle tank.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe bestand darin, im Bereich der Luke eines Kampffahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Kampfpanzers, einen Splitter- und/oder Strahlenschutz derart anzuordnen, daß keine Platzprobleme auftreten.The object underlying the invention was to arrange splinter and / or radiation protection in the area of the hatch of a combat vehicle, in particular a main battle tank, in such a way that no space problems occurred.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß das Handrad als in axialer Richtung geschlossene Scheibe ausgebildet ist und aus einem als Splitter- und/oder Strahlenschutz geeignetem Material besteht.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the handwheel is designed as a disc which is closed in the axial direction and consists of a material which is suitable for protecting against splinters and / or radiation.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung besitzt die das Handrad bildende Scheibe einen plattenförmigen Stahlkern, der in ein Splitter- und/oder Strahlenschutzmaterial eingebettet ist. Hierbei kann der plattenförmige Stahlkern beispielsweise als Lochblech ausgebildet sein und kann mit Splitter- und/oder Strahlenschutzmaterial umschäumt dein.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the disk forming the handwheel has a plate-shaped steel core which is embedded in a splinter and / or radiation protection material. Here For example, the plate-shaped steel core can be designed as a perforated plate and can be foamed with splinter and / or radiation protection material.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, das Handrad selbst als Splitter- und/oder Strahlenschutz auszubilden, was insbesondere dann vorteilhaft ist, wenn das Handrad zentrisch zur Luke angeordnet ist.The basic idea of the invention is to design the handwheel itself as splinter and / or radiation protection, which is particularly advantageous if the handwheel is arranged centrally to the hatch.
Aus schutztechnischen Gründen sollte dabei das Handrad, das keine Durchbrüche aufweist, möglichst großflächig ausgeführt sein, so daß ein großer Teil der Luke durch diesen zusätzlichen Schutz abgedeckt wird. Die gegebenen Bedienungs- und Funktionsabläufe werden durch das erfindungsgemäße Handrad nicht beeinflußt.For reasons of protection, the handwheel, which has no openings, should be as large as possible so that a large part of the hatch is covered by this additional protection. The given operating and functional sequences are not influenced by the handwheel according to the invention.
Im Folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen ein Ausführungsbeispiel für ein Handrad nach der Erfindung näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of a handwheel according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Das in den Fig. 1 und 2 getrennt vom Lukendeckel eines Kampffahrzeuges dargestellte Handrad besteht aus einer geschlossenen Scheibe 8, die in axialer Richtung keine Durchbrüche aufweist und an deren Oberseite eine Kurvenscheibe 4 über eine Schraubverbindung 5 befestigt ist, an der auch die Handradwelle 3 angeordnet ist.The handwheel shown separately in FIGS. 1 and 2 from the hatch cover of a combat vehicle consists of a closed
Die geschlossene Scheibe 8 besteht aus einem Stahlkern 1, der als Lochblech ausgebildet ist und im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei koaxial zueinander angeordneten Ringplatten besteht, die miteinander verschweißt sind. Der Stahlkern 1 ist in ein Strahlenschutzmaterial 2 eingebettet, beispielsweise von diesem umschäumt. An der dem Innenraum des Kampffahrzeugs zugewandten Seite sind am Handrad 8 Vertiefungen angeordnet, in denen sich ausklappbare Kastengriffe (6) befinden. Anstelle dieser ausklappbaren Kastengriffe können auch Griffmulden angeordnet sein.The closed
Fig. 3 zeigt wie das Handrad nach Fig. 1 und 2 an einem Lukendeckel herkömmlicher Bauart für einen in Fig. 4 dargestellten Kampfpanzer angeordnet ist. In Fig. 4 ist der Kampfpanzer selbst teilweise dargestellt mit seinem Turm P, in dessen Oberwand 13 zwei Luken L1 und L2 angeordnet sind. Fig. 3 zeigt den die Luke L1 abdeckenden Lukendeckel 7, der über ein Scharniergelenk 9 mit der Außenseite der Oberwand 13 des Kampfpanzers verbunden ist. Die Handradwelle 3 sitzt in einem Lager 12. in die mit dem Handrad 8 über die Schraubverbindung 5 verbundene Kurvenscheibe 4 greifen Nocken 10 ein, die mit einem Verriegelungsgestänge 11 verbunden sind. Beim Drehen des Handrades 8 in Verriegelungsrichtung bewegt sich das Verriegelungsgestänge 11 nach außen zur Verriegelung mit der Oberwand 13. Beim Drehen in Entriegelungsrichtung wird das Verriegelungsgestänge 11 eingezogen und der Lukendeckel 7 kann hochgeklappt werden.FIG. 3 shows how the handwheel according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is arranged on a hatch cover of a conventional design for a battle tank shown in FIG. 4.
