Description

Le secteur technique de la présente invention est celui des dispositifs de fixation d'un moyen d'observation ou autres à l'extrémité d'un canon.The technical sector of the present invention is that devices for fixing an observation means or others at the end of a barrel.

Pour fixer un dispositif quelconque sur le canon d'un véhicule blindé, on a proposé divers moyens mais qui tous nécessitent une intervention sur le tube du canon, à savoir le soudage d'un élément. Cette intervention est susceptible d'affecter les propriétés du tube. Ainsi, le brevet GB2259133 décrit un véhicule de combat dont le tube est muni à son extrémité libre d'une aile pour la fixation d'un dispositif. Toutefois, la fixation et le démontage du dispositif nécessitent des opérations manuelles fastidieuses qui ne peuvent être effectuées sans un outillage spécifique et sans danger en opération.To fix any device on the barrel of a armored vehicle, we proposed various means but which all require intervention on the barrel tube, namely welding of an element. This intervention is likely affect the properties of the tube. So the patent GB2259133 describes a combat vehicle whose tube is provided at its free end with a wing for fixing a device. However, fixing and dismantling the device require manual operations tedious that cannot be done without a specific and safe tools in operation.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de fixation apte à être fixé et détaché de l'extrémité d'un canon de manière simple et à assurer la protection dudit dispositif.The object of the present invention is to provide a fastening device capable of being fixed and detached from the end of a barrel in a simple way and to ensure the protection of said device.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif d'observation et/ou de brouillage ou d'un effet quelconque à l'extrémité d'un canon d'un véhicule blindé, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un corps rigide sensiblement de forme parallélépipédique, dont une face est conformée suivant la paroi externe du tube, et constituant une cage de réception, ledit corps étant relié au tube par un moyen de liaison détachable.The subject of the invention is therefore a device observation and / or interference or any effect at the end of a barrel of an armored vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a substantially shaped rigid body parallelepiped, one face of which is shaped according to the outer wall of the tube, and constituting a cage of receiving, said body being connected to the tube by means of detachable link.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen d'observation est constitué par une caméra jour ou thermique.According to a characteristic of the invention, the means observation system consists of a day camera or thermal.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la cage de réception du corps comporte au moins trois caméras.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cage receiving body has at least three cameras.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les trois caméras sont orientées suivant trois directions différentes pour couvrir un champ d'observation d'environ 180°.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the three cameras are oriented in three directions different to cover a field of observation of about 180 °.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les trois caméras sont connectées au moniteur du véhicule blindé, ledit moniteur pouvant comporter des moyens pour sélectionner une seule caméra.According to another characteristic of the invention, the three cameras are connected to the vehicle monitor shielded, said monitor possibly comprising means for select a single camera.

De préférence, le moyen de fixation est constitué par une ceinture équipée d'une grenouillère.Preferably, the fixing means consists of a belt fitted with a sleepsuit.

Un tout premier avantage du dispositif selon l'invention réside dans la simplicité de réalisation puisque les caméras peuvent être simplement noyées au sein du matériau constituant le corps.A very first advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the simplicity of implementation since the cameras can simply be buried within of the material constituting the body.

Un autre avantage réside dans la rapidité de liaison du dispositif au tube.Another advantage is the speed of connection of the tube device.

Un autre avantage réside dans le fait que le corps peut recevoir n'importe quel dispositif.Another advantage is that the body can receive any device.

D'autres caractéristiques, détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront plus clairement à la lecture du complément de description donné ci-après à titre indicatif en relation avec des dessins dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est vue schématique du dispositif fixé sur le tube d'un canon,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe transversale montrant la disposition des moyens d'observation,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du dispositif.
Other characteristics, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the additional description given below for information only in relation to the drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the device fixed to the barrel of a cannon,
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section showing the arrangement of the observation means,
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device.

Lorsqu'un véhicule blindé armé d'un canon se déplace sur un terrain compartimenté, il est nécessaire de permettre aux occupants de ce véhicule d'observer une zone dangereuse sans avoir à se déplacer en s'avanturant à l'extérieur. C'est le cas par exemple lorsque le véhicule doit franchir un carrefour, par exemple en zone urbaine, sur des routes en zones forestières ou bocagères. Le véhicule doit s'engager suffisamment dans la zone dangereuse pour pouvoir repérer un obstacle et il est très vulnérable surtout s'il faut faire pivoter la tourelle. C'est pourquoi il est souhaitable qu'une observation puisse être effectuée dans les zones non directement visibles par les opérateurs de l'engin blindé et dans des conditions de sécurité optimales. Il va de soi qu'il est possible de fixer un dispositif de brouillage pour perturber les lanceurs éventuellement présents sur le terrain ou tout autre dispositif permettant d'obtenir d'autres effets comme par exemple le lancement d'un fumigène ou la production d'un flash de lumière. Autrement dit, l'invention vise à reporter au bout d'un prolongateur une partie des fonctions opérationnelles du véhicule chargé d'une mission.When an armored vehicle armed with a cannon moves on compartmentalized land, it is necessary to allow the occupants of this vehicle to observe an area dangerous without having to move around outside. This is the case for example when the vehicle must cross a crossroads, for example in urban areas, on roads in forest or hedgerow areas. The vehicle must sufficiently enter the area dangerous to be able to spot an obstacle and it's very vulnerable especially if the turret has to be pivoted. This is why it is desirable that an observation can be performed in areas not directly visible by the operators of the armored vehicle and under conditions of optimal security. It goes without saying that it is possible to fix a jamming device to disturb the launchers possibly present on the ground or any other device to achieve other effects like for example the launch of a smoke or the production of a flash of light. In other words, the invention aims to transfer part of the functions to the end of an extension of the vehicle in charge of a mission.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté sommairement un véhicule blindé 1 comprenant un châssis 2 sur lequel est montée une tourelle pivotante 3. Le conducteur 4 du véhicule est dans le châssis et observe son environnement à l'aide du moniteur 5. Le responsable 6 du véhicule est situé dans la tourelle 3 et observe son environnement extérieur à l'aide du moniteur 7. La tourelle supporte un canon dont le tube 8 est représenté. Les moniteurs 5 et 7 reçoivent les images fournies par un ensemble de caméras de manière classique. Suivant l'invention, on prévoit un dispositif 9 fixé à l'extrémité du tube et on relie ce dispositif à l'aide d'une ligne 10 aux deux moniteurs 5 et 7. Lorsque le dispositif 1 renferme une caméra la ligne 10 peut être un câble à fibres optiques. Lorsque le dispositif 1 renferme un brouilleur par exemple, la ligne 10 est un câble électrique permettant d'envoyer un signal de commande pour initier le dispositif. En utilisation, le conducteur 4 avance son véhicule en engageant uniquement l'extrémité du tube dans la zone dangereuse. Après observation, le responsable 6 est en mesure d'apprécier la situation.In Figure 1, there is briefly shown a armored vehicle 1 comprising a chassis 2 on which is mounted a pivoting turret 3. Conductor 4 of vehicle is in the chassis and observes its environment at using the monitor 5. The manager 6 of the vehicle is located in turret 3 and observes its environment outside using the monitor 7. The turret supports a barrel whose tube 8 is shown. Monitors 5 and 7 receive the images provided by a set of cameras from classic way. According to the invention, there is provided a device 9 attached to the end of the tube and we connect this device using a line 10 to the two monitors 5 and 7. When device 1 contains a camera line 10 may be a fiber optic cable. When the device 1 contains a jammer for example, line 10 is a electric cable to send a control signal to initiate the device. In use, the conductor 4 advance his vehicle by engaging only the end of the tube in the danger zone. After observation, the responsible 6 is able to assess the situation.

La figure 2 illustre la réalisation d'un dispositif comprenant trois caméras. Il est constitué d'un corps 11 réalisé par exemple en matière plastique relié au tube 8 par un moyen de fixation 8. Ce moyen peut être une sangle fermée par une attache 13 telle un circlips. Le corps renferme trois caméras 14, 15 et 16 qui permettent de couvrir un champ d'observation de 180°. Ce champ peut être orienté dans une direction horizontale ou vers le bas. Bien entendu, le champ des trois caméras se recouvre afin d'éviter une zone morte.Figure 2 illustrates the construction of a device including three cameras. It consists of a body 11 made for example of plastic material connected to tube 8 by a fixing means 8. This means can be a strap closed by a fastener 13 such as a circlip. The body contains three cameras 14, 15 and 16 which allow cover a 180 ° field of view. This field can be oriented in a horizontal direction or downwards. Well heard, the field of the three cameras overlaps so avoid a dead zone.

Sur la figure 3, on a représenté une vue en perspective du corps 11 montrant l'orifice d'émergence des trois caméras. On voit que la face 17 du corps 11 est conformée pour s'adapter sur la surface externe du tube à l'endroit de fixation. Cette réalisation permet de rendre la fixation plus fiable. Pour intégrer les caméras dans le corps 11 on pré-positionne les caméras avec leur câble de liaison en s'assurant de la couverture d'un champ d'observation de 180°. On place ensuite l'ensemble ainsi réalisé dans un moule en prévoyant la zone d'émergence des caméras. On coule ensuite la matière plastique fondue qui se solidifie ultérieurement. En variante, on pourrait fabriquer un corps plein que l'on usinerait pour obtenir les trois taraudages destinés aux caméras et le taraudage permettant le branchement du câble de liaison avec les moniteurs.In Figure 3, there is shown a perspective view of body 11 showing the emergence orifice of the three cameras. We see that the face 17 of the body 11 is shaped to fit on the outer surface of the tube where of fixation. This realization makes the fixing More reliable. To integrate the cameras in the body 11 we pre-position the cameras with their connecting cable in ensuring coverage of an observation field of 180 °. Then place the assembly thus produced in a mold by providing for the emergence zone of the cameras. We then flows the melted plastic which solidifies later. Alternatively, we could make a body full that we would machine to get the three threads for cameras and tapping allowing the connection of the connection cable with the monitors.
