Armored vehicle body with variable armored thickness

Abstract

The invention discloses an armored vehicle body with a variable armored thickness, belongs to the field of special protective equipment, and aims to solve the problems that a light armored vehicle is weak in protection and cannot be prevented from being hit by large-diameter armor-piercing bullets. The armored car comprises a large-opening car body, an armored plate and a hydraulic device. After the vehicle body armor plate is pushed and folded by the hydraulic device, the armor is stacked together, the thickness of the forward armor is greatly increased, and the impact of various ammunitions can be effectively resisted.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of armor protection, specifically to a variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull. Background Technology

[0002] In modern warfare, traditional 30-ton armored vehicles generally have weak armor protection due to weight limitations; their protection is limited to defending against 30mm ammunition. In recent years, armies worldwide have generally upgraded to 35mm or higher guns. Traditional armored vehicles are completely unable to defend against this, let alone 120mm / 125mm tank main gun fire. Increasing protection would compromise mobility. Therefore, how to increase protection without increasing weight has become a key research topic for many countries. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing armored vehicles in terms of insufficient protection capabilities and to provide an armored vehicle hull with variable armor thickness.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution: a variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull, comprising a large-opening body (13) and armor plates (2) at the openings, a door hinge (12), and a hydraulic device (11). The vehicle body has two openings on each of its four sides (top, bottom, left, and right), with two armor plates on each side, for a total of eight armor plates. When needed, the eight armor plates can be folded inwards and overlapped under hydraulic pressure; the vehicle body has a total of nine armor plates from front to back, significantly increasing its protective capabilities.

[0005] Furthermore, the armor plates can be replaced with thicker and stronger armor plates to further enhance protective capabilities. Attached Figure Description

[0006] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating the folding of armor plates. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cavity after the bottom armor plate is folded. Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the armor plating on the side of the vehicle. Detailed Implementation

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. A variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull includes a large-opening body (13), armor plates (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), and a hydraulic system (11). The armor plate (9) is connected to the hydraulic system (11) via a shaft (10), and the two can rotate inward around a door hinge (12) and overlap. The other 7 armor plates are the same and are therefore omitted. The armor plates are steel plates cut from the vehicle body. They are normally used as the sides of the vehicle body.

Claims

1. A variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull, comprising a large-opening body, an armor plate at the opening, a door hinge, and a hydraulic device. The armor plate can rotate inward along the door hinge under the actuation of the hydraulic device.

2. The variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull according to claim 1, characterized in that, Its armor plate thickness is variable.

3. The variable armor thickness armored vehicle hull according to claim 1 is characterized in that, The armor plate material can be varied.
