Abstract

The reinforced floor, for a wheeled or tracked armored vehicle, has an intermediate floor (4) with height adjustment over the vehicle floor (1). It is fastened to the side walls (3) of the vehicle interior (21) at mounting points (2). The intermediate floor can be set in one position, where there is a gap (22) between it and the vehicle floor, and in a second setting where there is no gap between them. The up and down movements of the intermediate floor can be coupled to other functions e.g. opening/closing the trunk lid, and the like.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf den Schutz von Personen in gepanzerten Fahrzeugen gegen die Wirkung der Explosion von Minen, die auf oder im Erdboden verlegt sind.The invention relates to the protection of persons in armored vehicles against the effect of the explosion of mines laid on or in the ground.

Diese Fahrzeuge haben am Chassis in der Regel einen glatten Unterboden und eine möglichst hohe Bodenfreiheit zwischen Unterboden und Erdboden, die von entsprechend ausgebildeten Rad- oder Kettenlaufwerken sichergestellt wird, damit sich das Fahrzeug auch im Gelände möglichst ungehindert fortbewegen kann.These vehicles have on the chassis usually a smooth underbody and the highest possible ground clearance between the subfloor and ground, which is ensured by appropriately trained wheel or track drives, so that the vehicle can move as freely as possible in the field.

Die brisante Druckwirkung der unter dem Fahrzeug explodierenden Mine wirkt auf den relativ großflächigen Fahrzeug- oder Wannenboden, verformt und beschädigt diesen und kann erhebliche Schäden im Fahrzeug verursachen. Neben der bleibenden Verformung des Fahrzeugbodens tritt auch eine noch größere elastische Verformung auf. Alle auf dem Fahrzeugboden befestigten oder abgestellten Teile werden durch den Minenschock derart beschleunigt, dass diese dadurch stark beschädigt werden und wie Geschosse im Innenraum fliegen. Sind die Beine der Fahrzeugbesatzung auf dem Boden abgestellt, sind bei einer Minenexplosion schwerste Verletzungen der Besatzung die Folge. Um dies zu verhindern werden üblicherweise Fussstützen eingebaut, die vom Fussboden mechanisch entkoppelt und in ausreichendem Abstand zum Fahrzeugboden montiert sind.The explosive pressure effect of the exploding below the vehicle mine acts on the relatively large vehicle or tub floor, deformed and damaged it and can cause significant damage in the vehicle. In addition to the permanent deformation of the vehicle floor occurs even greater elastic deformation. All parts fastened or parked on the floor of the vehicle are accelerated by the mine shock in such a way that they are severely damaged and fly like bullets in the interior. If the legs of the vehicle crew are parked on the ground, serious injuries to the crew are the result of a mine explosion. To prevent this usually footrests are installed, which are mechanically decoupled from the floor and mounted at a sufficient distance to the vehicle floor.

Die Nachteile dieser speziellen Lösung sind:

  • Die Fußstützen müssen individuell auf den Einzelnen eingestellt werden zur besseren Ergonomie.
  • Die eingestellte fixierte Position führt auf Dauer zu körperlichen Beschwerden.
  • Es werden Füße auch auf dem Fahrzeugboden aufgesetzt mit den bekannten Folgen bei Minenexplosion.
  • Fußstützen können in beengten Räumen oder beim Ein- und Aussteigen sehr stark behindern.
The disadvantages of this particular solution are:
  • The footrests must be individually adjusted to the individual for better ergonomics.
  • The set fixed position leads in the long term to physical complaints.
  • It feet are also placed on the vehicle floor with the known consequences of mine explosion.
  • Footrests can interfere very much in confined spaces or when getting in and out.

Nach dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Vorschläge zur Vermeidung von Minenschäden am Fahrzeug gemacht worden.In the prior art, various proposals have been made for avoiding mine damage to the vehicle.

Aus der DE 3119786 ist es bekannt, zum Schutz gegen Minen auf der Unterseite des Fahrzeugs flächige Panzerungselemente anzubringen.From DE 3119786 it is known to install flat armor elements for protection against mines on the underside of the vehicle.

In der DE 19631715 ist der Fahrzeugboden mit einem keilförmig zum Boden ausgebildeten Deflektor ausgerüstet, wobei der Deflektor auch mit einem Gasgenerator ausgerüstet sein kann zur Abstützung von innen und Gegenwirkung gegen die Explosion.In DE 19631715 the vehicle floor is equipped with a wedge-shaped deflector formed to the bottom, wherein the deflector can also be equipped with a gas generator for supporting from the inside and counteracting the explosion.

In der DE 19653283 wird eine Raumzelle als Besatzungsraum im Fahrzeuggehäuse separat elastisch aufgehängt, um damit auch Schockwirkungen, die von außen auf das Fahrzeug wirken, in Bezug auf die Personen im Fahrzeug zu beseitigen.In DE 19653283 a space cell is suspended separately as a crew room in the vehicle housing elastically, so as to eliminate shock effects that act on the vehicle from the outside, with respect to the persons in the vehicle.

In weiteren Anmeldungen werden Verformungskörper am Fahrzeugboden angebracht, um die Druckwirkung von Minen auf das Fahrzeug zu vermindern.In other applications, deformation bodies are attached to the vehicle floor to reduce the pressure effect of mines on the vehicle.

In der DE 19941928 werden Dämpfungselemente in einem Zwischenboden unter dem Fahrzeug vorgesehen, die die Minenwirkung mindern und aufnehmen sollen.In DE 19941928 damping elements are provided in an intermediate floor under the vehicle, which reduce the mine action and should absorb.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist der sichere Schutz der Besatzung im Fahrzeug vor Minenschockwirkungen und die Verbesserung von bekannten Vorrichtungen.The object of the invention is the safe protection of the crew in the vehicle from mine shock effects and the improvement of known devices.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Merkmale ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further features emerge from the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Zwischenboden im Fahrzeug eingebaut, der in einem gewissen Abstand vom Fahrzeugboden angebracht wird. Dadurch wird die Übertragung des durch den Minenblast eingekoppelten Schocks auf die Füße der Besatzung verhindert, ohne dass dabei die Besatzung durch eine fixierte Beinposition in der Einsatzbereitschaft eingeschränkt wird. Der Zwischenboden ist mechanisch vom Fahrzeugboden entkoppelt und vorwiegend an den Seiten des Fahrzeuginnenraums befestigt. Der Zwischenboden ist flexibel befestigt und kann auf den Fahrzeugboden abgesenkt werden. Für die Besatzung ist in jedem Fall ein Fussboden ohne störende Fusstützen vorhanden.According to the invention an intermediate floor is installed in the vehicle, which is mounted at a certain distance from the vehicle floor. As a result, the transmission of the shock injected by the mine blast to the feet of the crew is prevented without the crew being immobilized Leg position is limited in the operational readiness. The intermediate floor is mechanically decoupled from the vehicle floor and fastened mainly to the sides of the vehicle interior. The intermediate floor is flexibly fixed and can be lowered to the floor of the vehicle. For the crew there is always a floor without disturbing feet.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemässen Ausbildung des Fahrzeugbodens liegen insbesondere in einer automatischen Vorhaltung eines Minenschutzes für die Besatzung, sofern der Zwischenboden nicht abgesenkt ist. Eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche ergonomische Grössen der Besatzung entsprechend wie bei Fussstützen entfällt. In der Fahrtposition, d.h. nicht abgesenkt, kann die Besatzung die Beine frei bewegen. Im abgesenkten Zustand liegt der Zwischenboden flach auf dem Fahrzeugboden, so dass die Innenhöhe des Besatzungsraums praktisch nicht reduziert wird beim Aussteigen und Aufsitzen gegenüber einem Fahrzeug ohne Zwischenboden. Das Material des Zwischenbodens, zum Beispiel mit Kunststoffanteil wie PE oder Aramid, kann so gewählt werden, dass gleichzeitig eine Splitterschutzwirkung durch den Zwischenboden gegeben ist.The advantages of the inventive design of the vehicle floor are in particular in an automatic provision of a mine protection for the crew, unless the false floor is lowered. An adaptation to different ergonomic sizes of the crew corresponding to footrests omitted. In the driving position, i. not lowered, the crew can move their legs freely. In the lowered state, the intermediate floor lies flat on the vehicle floor, so that the internal height of the crew compartment is practically not reduced when getting out and sitting up against a vehicle without intermediate floor. The material of the false floor, for example, with plastic content such as PE or aramid, can be chosen so that at the same time a splinter protection effect is given by the false floor.

Die Einstellung des Zwischenbodens in die Funktionsstellungen "abgesenkt" bzw. nicht-abgesenkt" kann auch mit anderen Fahrzeugeinstellungen wie zum Beispiel "Heckklappe schliessen" oder Fahrzeugfahrt gekoppelt werden, um einen nicht abgesenkten Zwischenboden in Schutzstellung automatisch herzustellen.The setting of the false floor in the functional positions "lowered" or "not lowered" can also be coupled with other vehicle settings such as "closing the tailgate" or vehicle travel in order to automatically produce a non-lowered intermediate floor in protective position.

Ein in Figur 1 im Querschnitt gezeigter Innenraum 21 eines gepanzerten Fahrzeugs besitzt einen Fahrzeugboden 1 oder Wannenboden und einen im Abstand 22 darüber angebrachten Zwischenboden 4. Der Zwischenboden 4 ist an den Befestigungspunkten 2 an den Seitenwänden 3 fallweise auch gelenkig befestigt. Zwischen dem Zwischenboden 4 und dem Gehäusedach 24 liegt die lichte Höhe 12. Ein Fahrzeugbediener 20 stützt seine Füsse 23 auf dem Zwischenboden 4 auf.An interior 21 of an armored vehicle, which is shown in cross-section in FIG. 1, has a vehicle floor 1 or trough base and an intermediate floor 4 mounted at a distance 22 above it. The intermediate floor 4 is occasionally also articulated at the attachment points 2 on the side walls 3 attached. Between the intermediate bottom 4 and the housing roof 24 is the clear height 12. A vehicle operator 20 supports his feet 23 on the intermediate bottom 4.

In Figur 2 ist der Zwischenboden 4 abgesenkt, so dass er weitgehend auf dem Fahrzeugboden 1 aufliegt und eine lichte Höhe 13 zwischen Fahrzeugboden 1 und Fahrzeugdach 24 hergestellt wird, die größer ist als die lichte Höhe 12 in Figur 1.In Figure 2, the intermediate bottom 4 is lowered, so that it rests largely on the vehicle floor 1 and a clear height 13 between the vehicle floor 1 and vehicle roof 24 is made, which is greater than the clear height 12 in Figure 1.

In Figur 3 ist der Zwischenboden 4 mit einer netzartigen Struktur dargestellt, die eine Beleuchtung 9 von unten in den Raum oberhalb des Zwischenbodens durchläßt. Empfindliche Geräte 11 oder sonstige Geräte 15 können auf dem Schutzboden 4 befestigt sein und werden mit ihm in die Höhe gehoben oder abgesenkt je nach Funktionsstellung des Bodens. Ebenso können Fußstützen 8 für Bediener auf dem Zwischenboden 4 befestigt sein. Durch die netzartige Struktur des Zwischenbodens 4 oder mittels Durchbrüchen 18 ist eine Be- und Entlüftung sowie Heizen und Kühlen durch den Zwischenboden 4 hindurch möglich.In Figure 3, the intermediate bottom 4 is shown with a net-like structure, which transmits a lighting 9 from below into the space above the false floor. Sensitive devices 11 or other devices 15 may be mounted on the protective floor 4 and are raised or lowered with him depending on the functional position of the soil. Likewise, footrests 8 can be attached to the intermediate floor 4 for operators. Due to the net-like structure of the false floor 4 or by means of openings 18 a ventilation and heating and cooling through the intermediate bottom 4 is possible therethrough.

In Figur 4 ist dargestellt, dass auch eine Verwendung des Schutzbodens an sonstigen Begrenzungsflächen 16 eines Fahrzeugs möglich ist und ebenso eine Verwendung an Begrenzungsflächen 19 eines außerhalb des eigentlichen Fahrzeuginnenraums 21 adaptierten Gehäuses 17 ausgebildet sein kann.FIG. 4 shows that it is also possible to use the protective floor on other boundary surfaces 16 of a vehicle, and that it can also be designed for use on boundary surfaces 19 of a housing 17 adapted outside the actual vehicle interior 21.

Im Gefechtszustand ist der Zwischenboden 4 in Stellung "oben" oder "gespannt" und bildet die Trittfläche für die Besatzung in einem Fahrzeugraum. Dabei besteht ein Abstand 22 zwischen dem Fahrzeugboden 1 und dem Zwischenboden 4. Der Zwischenboden ist funktionell unterteilt und aus geeignetem teilelastischem Material hergestellt, so dass er die beiden Stellungen "unten" oder "entlastet" und "oben" oder "gespannt" je nach gewünschter Einstellung einnehmen kann. Vorzugsweise wird die Stellung oben mit einer anderen Funktion im Fahrzeug verknüpft, so dass kein manueller Eingriff erforderlich ist, um den Zwischenboden in die Schutzstellung bzw. nach oben zu bringen. Diese Funktion kann z.B. das "Luke schließen" oder Gefechtsbereitschaft sein. Für das Aus- oder Einsteigen in den Fahrzeugraum wird die Stellung Zwischenboden unten eingenommen, damit die Besatzung eine größere Raumhöhe 13 zur Verfügung hat. Die Füsse 23 des Bedieners 20 stehen auf dem Zwischenboden 4 auf, so dass sie geschützt sind in Stellung Zwischenboden oben gegen eine Mineneinwirkung von unten. Vorzugsweise wird der Zwischenboden durch einen geeigneten nicht dargestellten motorischen Antrieb in die Stellung oben oder unten gebracht.In combat, the intermediate floor 4 in the "up" or "cocked" position and forms the tread for the crew in a vehicle compartment. In this case, there is a distance 22 between the vehicle floor 1 and the intermediate bottom 4. The intermediate floor is divided functionally and made of suitable partially elastic material, so that he the two positions "down" or "relieved" and "up" or "stretched" depending on the desired Attitude can take. Preferably, the position above is linked to another function in the vehicle, so that no manual intervention is required to bring the false floor in the protective position or upwards. This function can eg be the "close hatch" or combat readiness. For the boarding or boarding in the vehicle compartment, the position intermediate floor is taken below, so that the crew has a greater room height 13 available. The feet 23 of the operator 20 stand on the intermediate bottom 4, so that they are protected in position Intermediate floor above against a mine action from below. Preferably, the intermediate floor is brought by a suitable motor drive not shown in the position above or below.
