Device for protecting mobile and fixed objects

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of protecting mobile and fixed objects stationed on land or water. A device for protecting mobile or fixed objects against strike elements comprises a plunger-driven air compressor or an oil pump, mounted inside a fastening module that is connected to a source of rotation. The source of rotation is connected to a support module. Fastened inside the support module at an angle to the horizontal is a rotating module having a housing inside which a pinion shaft of a drive of a drum is fastened. Mounted inside the drum are cable-bearing reels, or a block of cable-bearing reels connected into one. Drive torque is transmitted from the source of rotation to the drum by a drive pinion which meshes both with a gear of the rotating module inside the support module and with a double idler gear. The double idler gear transmits rotation to the pinion shaft of the drive of the drum, causing the cables to be paid out as the drum rotates. The result is that of providing protection for mobile and fixed objects against strike elements.

[0055] Implementation of the invention

[0056] The device for protecting mobile and stationary objects consists of a drum 1, inside which reels 2 with cables 3 or a block of reels consisting of two reels 2 connected together, which are brought into working order simultaneously, are installed.

[0057] Cable 3 can be made of conductive metal or graphene. Alternatively, the cable can be made of Kevlar or fiberglass. When using Kevlar or fiberglass, the cable is coated with a conductive copper sheath. A titanium cable coated with a copper-titanium alloy is also possible.

[0058] A cable 3 is wound on a reel 2, one end of which is secured inside the reel 2 by means of bosses 4 filled with piezoelectric 5. Inside the housing of the drum 1, under the reels 2 with cables 3, a piston 6 is installed in such a way that the piston 6, together with the bottom and the housing of the drum 1, forms a closed volume into which air is supplied through the air fitting 7 along the air channel.

[0059] In this case, the drum is mounted on the pinion shaft 8, the upper part of which is equipped with a ball lock 9 with a locking force of compressed air, which enters through the air channel 10 of the pinion shaft 8. A ball lock 11 is installed in the drum housing. In this case, the lower part of the pinion shaft 8 is installed inside the housing of the rotating module 12 and enters

[0060] 5

[0061] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) engagement with a double intermediate gear 13. In this case, on the lower part of the shaft-gear 8 and in the upper part of the housing of the rotating module 12, a bearing 14 and a sleeve 15 are installed, which are closed by a cover 16. In the cover 16, a corresponding hole is made through which the lower part of the shaft-gear 8 passes.

[0062] The double intermediate gear 13 is mounted on the spindle 17 of the support module 18.

[0063] The rotating module 11 is installed between the drum 1 and the support module 18. The support module 18 is intended for securing the rotating module 12 in it, wherein the upper part of the spindle 17 is located in the housing of the rotating module 12, and the lower part in the housing of the support module 18.

[0064] In this case, the rotating module 12 is installed at an angle relative to the vertical axis of the drum 1 and, accordingly, the gear shaft 8.

[0065] The rotating module 12 is provided with a gear wheel 19, which receives rotation from the drive gear 20 of the shaft 21 of the rotation source 22.

[0066] The support module 18 is equipped with two solenoid valves, one of which regulates the supply of pressure to the space between the bottom of the drum 1 and the piston 6, and the second solenoid valve (not shown in the drawings) regulates the supply of pressure to the ball lock 9 of the gear shaft 8.

[0067] The support module 18 is connected to the rotation source 22, which transmits torque to the drum 1 through the drive gear 20 of the shaft 21 of the rotation source, fixed on its shaft - simultaneously to the gear wheel 19 of the rotating module 12 and to the double intermediate gear 13 installed on the spindle 17 of the support module 18.

[0068] An internal combustion engine or an electric motor is used as a source of rotation 22, on the shaft 21 of which a drive gear 20 is located. The upper part of the shaft 21 with the drive gear 20 is mounted by means of a bearing 24 and an oil seal 25 in the lower part of the housing of the support module 18. b

[0069] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The rotation source 22 is connected in turn to the fastening module 26, in the housing of which a fan 27 is installed and serves to cool the rotation source 22 and the compressor 28. Inside the fastening module 26, an air plunger compressor 28 with a radial arrangement of plungers is mounted, from which pressure is supplied to the electromagnetic control valves 23.

[0070] The axis of rotation source 22 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The axis of rotation of rotating module 12 is at an angle of 20 degrees to the axis of rotation of rotation source 22. The axis of rotation of drum 1 is at an angle of 20 degrees to the axis of rotation of rotating module 12.

[0071] Figure 2 shows an internal combustion engine with a radial arrangement of cylinders, as the most suitable in terms of configuration, dimensions and power.

[0072] The housings of the support module 18 and the fastening module 26 are connected by a pin 29 passing through the housing of the rotation source 22.

[0073] The device for protecting mobile and stationary objects is assembled from individual modules and can be supplemented, for example, with a generator module as a source of electricity for the electronic warfare system.

[0074] The device for protecting mobile and stationary objects operates as follows.

[0075] When the rotation source 22 is started, the drum 1 begins to rotate at a high frequency, resulting in the unwinding of the cables 3 under the action of centrifugal force.

[0076] Unwound cables 3, rotating at high angular velocity, form a protective zone in the form of a protective dome. Cables 3 are secured to a reel 2 by means of bosses 4 filled with a piezoelectric 5, such that upon collision with an obstacle or striking element during the rotation of cables 3, mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric 5 will occur, resulting in the generation of an electric charge. Along the cable

[0077] 7

[0078] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) An electric charge will be transferred to the striking element, increasing the likelihood of its detonation or failure. Therefore, when a striking element enters the protective dome zone, it will be subjected to the mechanical force of cables 3 moving at a high angular velocity, which will result in a change in trajectory, destruction, detonation of the warhead at a known distance from the protected object, or ejection of the striking element beyond the protective dome. The possibility of electric shock will, in turn, increase the likelihood of disabling the attacking striking element. The device for protecting mobile and stationary objects ensures that the cables move along an epicycle with a center aligned with the axis of rotation of the shaft of gear 8 of the drive of drum 1, which in turn rotates around the axis of the rotating module 12 at an angle to the horizontal plane.The arrangement of the axes of rotation of the rotating module 12, the axis of rotation of the drum 1, and the axis of the rotation source 22 ensures the movement of the cables 3 along a trajectory that facilitates the formation of a protective dome with an open front. Thus, the created protective dome will not interfere with the operation of weapons (e.g., a tank cannon or machine gun). Drum 1 can accommodate several replaceable reels 2 with cables 3. To increase the density of the protective dome, it is possible to use a unit consisting of two reels 2 connected together, which are activated simultaneously, thereby doubling the number of cables 3 involved in the operation.

[0079] Rotation source 22 starts—compressor 28 or hydraulic pump applies pressure to electromagnetic valve, which opens and thereby locks ball lock 9. Second valve 23 is closed, and no pressure is supplied to the cavity under piston 6. Reel 2 with cables 3 is in the transport position.

[0080] 8

[0081] REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) If coil 2 is damaged or becomes inoperative, it can be quickly replaced with the next coil without shutting down the device. This can be done by closing the solenoid valve and cutting off pressure to ball lock 9, which then unlocks. Since drum 1 with coil 2 rotates at high speed and along a complex trajectory, coil 2 will automatically reset.

[0082] At the same time, the coils 2 located below will be held by ball latches 11. The electromagnetic valve opens again and the ball lock 9 is locked. The second electromagnetic valve 23 opens, compressed air from compressor 28 is supplied to the cavity under piston 6 of drum 1 and the bottom of drum 1, and the next coil 2, overcoming the holding force of ball latches 11, takes the working position.

[0083] Cables 3 unwind, and the device's full functionality is restored. The protective dome's diameter can reach 10 meters or more, depending on the length of the installed cables 3. The protective dome's density will depend on the number of cables 3 in the reel and the rotation speed of the drum 1.

[0084] Cables 3 can be operated using either a pneumatic or hydraulic system. All components of both the pneumatic and hydraulic systems are identical. The pneumatic system uses compressed air, while the hydraulic system uses fluid (oil).

[0085] The control system for the mobile and stationary object protection device includes an air compressor 28 or oil pump, air ducts 10 through which compressed air or oil flows, electromagnetic valves 23, pressure-reducing valves, safety valves, and an air or oil filter (not shown in the drawing). Piston 6 of drum 1 is also an element of the control system.

[0086] 9

[0087] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The operation of the mobile and stationary object protection device is controlled by two electromagnetic valves. One electromagnetic valve regulates the pressure supply to ball lock 9 of pinion shaft 8, and the second 23 regulates the pressure supply to the space between the bottom of drum 1 and piston 6.

[0088] The protective dome created by the mobile and stationary object protection device can also effectively spread a smoke screen around the protected object. The mobile and stationary object protection device can also be supplemented with a generator module due to the presence of an independent rotation source.

[0089] The advantages of using a mobile and stationary object protection device over blades include its compact size when transported and the ability to create a larger diameter protective field thanks to the length of the cables. Another advantage is the ability to repeatedly restore the device's operational status by replacing damaged coils without interrupting operation. The large number of replaceable working elements significantly increases the device's operational life as a defense against damaging elements. The presence of an independent power source makes it versatile for use with additional devices.
