Description

105004/2 D'san ΊΚ/1 DTK 'j:. y n'uo^:. rmni? rrn Housing for the ballistic protection of persons and/or objects AKZO NOBEL FASER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and FRIED. KRUPP AG HOESCH- UPP C. 89142 Description: The subject of the present invention is a housing for the ballistic protection of persons and/or objects.
A housing of this kind for vehicles, for example for tanks, is described in German Offenlegungsschrift 19 01 502. The described housing consists of plates and section bars, the section bars having shoulders arranged in 1 step-like manner to receive the plates. The plates are joined to the section bars by welding or by means of detachable elements which are not described in greater detail. Housings of this type serve for protection against projectiles in the case of direct bombardment or for protection against fragments and blast waves in the case of explosions, such as occur, for example, with the explosion of bombs. They are suitable for cladding tanks, security vehicles, ships and also containers. A disadvantageous feature of the known housings is that, in the case of loading as intended, the plates are torn out of their anchoring such that both plates and section bars in the vicinity of the area of impact of objects, fragments or blast waves are destroyed. After the incident, large areas, often the entire housing, must frequently be rebuilt .
The object of the present invention is to provide a housing for the ballistic protection of persons and/or objects, having plates as housing walls which are joined together via section bars, which housing can be repaired even after the effect of projectiles, fragments or blast waves with a suitably low effort, preferably only by exchanging the plates.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that the plates are compressible at least in the region which serves for location in the section bars and in that the section bars have at least one channel enclosing in each case one plate edge and into which this plate edge is inserted with compression of the edge region.
Under the effect of projectiles, fragments or blast waves, in general at least one plate is stressed in such a manner that it is deformed. When using the housing according to the invention, the plate is held securely in the clasp of the section bars under effects of this type. Only with extreme stressing is the plate torn partly out of the clasp of the section bars, the prior compression of the edge region of the plate providing sufficient resistance to prevent a complete detachment of the plate from its clasp. This thus guarantees an effective protection for the persons and/or objects in the housing. After the effect of projectiles, fragments or blast waves the deformed plates can be removed; although the plates are destroyed (they are in general no longer serviceable after effects of this kind) , the section bars are preserved. New plates can be inserted without great effort into the preserved section bars.
The compression of the edge regions of the plates can take place with conventional pressing tools which are removed again after insertion of the plates into the channels of the section bars. It is especially expedient if the channels of the section bars are designed somewhat wider than the thickness of the plate edge region, the plate edges are introduced into this channel, and if the compression of the plate edge region then takes place via wedges which are driven into the free space between section channel and plate edge region.
The housing according to the invention is therefore preferably distinguished in that the compression of the plate edge takes place via wedges which are inserted between the channel wall of the section bars and the edge region of the plate surface.
For mechanically securing the plate edge regions, and if necessary the wedges too, it is of advantage if 105004/2 - 3 - the channel wall and/or the wedge surface are roughened, and better still are profiled. From the channel depth, the wedge length and the wedge angle, the degree of compression and thus the strength of the connection of the plate with the section bars can be determined. To produce the wedge connection, an angle of between 5° and 15° for the wedges has proved very expedient. For profiling the channel wall and/or the wedge surface, an undulating profile has proven very expedient. For extreme cases, serrated sections can also be employed.
The channels of the section bar expediently have a V-shaped, preferably a U-shaped, section. This channel section can also be achieved according to the invention in that the section bar has itself an L-shaped groove, to the short leg of which a support is connected. Section bars and/or wedges consist expediently of a hard, compression- and creep-resistant material. Steel, ceramic and metal-coated ceramic have proven very expedient for the section bars, the wedges and the supports.
Because of the oining technique employed according to the invention it is freely possible to use composites as plates. As is known, composite plates are plates composed of a plurality of layers and whose resistance to impact caused by projectile bombardment, or loading arising from fragments or blast waves, is known. In particular plates made of fibre composite material have proven expedient for this. For producing the plates of fibre composite material, fibres made of aramid, carbon, glass and/or polyethylene which are embedded in a compressible matrix are suitable. The matrix suitably consists of, for example, thermoplastics, polycarbonate being especially favourable, or thermosets of which phenolic resin, in particular with the addition of 5 to 60% of polyvinyl butyral, also produces favourable results. Specific elastomers, for example special rubbers, can also be used as matrix for the plates of the housing according to the invention.
Preferably the compressibility of the plates, at least in the region of the plate edge, is between 0.5 and 5%.
With the use of a support, which generally consists of steel, ceramic or metal-coated ceramic, and plates of composite material, the ballistic properties of the composite plates, known to be good are favourably affected by the supports, which also act as composite.
The. invention is described in greater detail with the aid of the following figures.
Figures 1 to 6 each show schematically in cross-section different joining techniques, for producing the housing according to the invention. It goes without saying that in the implementation of the housing accord-ing to the invention, in general, only one of the joining techniques illustrated is used. It is only for the sake of clarity that different joining techniques have been shown in the figures. Figures 1, 3 and 5 show these joining techniques in each case before the join is produced, whilst Figures 2, 4 and 6 show the finished join between plate and section bar.
In Figures l and 2 the plates are designated 1 and the section bars 2. Section bar 2a has an undulating profile on the inner channel wall whereas the outer channel wall is of smooth design. The section bar 2b has a channel 5, the two walls 5a and 5b of which have an undulating section, whereas the channel of the section bar 2b has one wall profiled in an undulating manner in the region of the arrow c and one wall profiled in a serrated manner. Wedges having correspondingly profiled surfaces - wedge 3 with undulating profiling on one side, wedge 4 with serrated profiling on one side - are shown in Figure 1 in a detached state and are driven in in the direction of the arrows A, B and C in the hollow space between the channel wall and the plane of the plate edge to produce the connection according to Figure 2. This compresses the plate edge region.
In the cases in which the joining technique shown in Figures 1 and 2 does not produce sufficiently high joining strength, a wedge with double-sided profiling can be used - as shown in Figures 3 and 4. In this case, wedge 6, which is driven in in the direction of arrow D, has an undulating profiling on both sides, whereas wedge 7, which is driven in in the direction of arrow E, has a serrated profiling on both sides.
According to Figures 5 and 6, the channel of the section bars 2 is formed by a groove, the short leg of which is joined to a support 8 via the weld seam 9. The compression of the plate edge regions takes place via wedges as in the preceding figures, so that its description in the case of Figures 5 and 6 can be omitted.
To improve the detachability of the wedges from the composite, the legs of the section bars 2 forming the channel can be notched by sections, so that by driving the wedges forwards in the longitudinal direction of the section bars as far as the notching, the former can be removed at the notching. In this manner the join between plate and profile bar can be detached in a simple manner. With the use of plates of fibre composite material, however, it is sufficient in general if the plates are mechanically destroyed for the exchange and then the remaining plate edge regions are struck out of the casing in sections, after which the wedges can be removed.
