EXPLOSION / SHOCK ABSORBER ADAPTER FOR WEAPON MOUNTING ON ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS

Abstract

The invention relates to a damping adapter created between the weapon mounting bracket (4) and the vehicle side wall to protect the weapon and personnel from any external explosion threat in armored personnel carriers. In the invention, the internal weapon mounting brackets (4) are connected to the weapon mounting interface (3). The guiding distance piece (2), positioned between the weapon mounting interface (3) and the damping piece (1), linearly transmits the movement during the explosion to the weapon mounting interface (3). The damping piece (1), fixed to the vehicle side wall, absorbs the displacement during the explosion thanks to its spring structure, depending on the intensity of the explosion, thus mitigating the impact or absorbing the shock transmitted to the weapon by undergoing permanent deformation.

Description

1 TARIFF EXPLOSION / SHOCK DETONATOR FOR WEAPON ATTACHMENT IN ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS. DAMPING ADAPTER TECHNICAL FIELD The invention provides a weapon and defense system against any external explosion threat on armored personnel carriers. A barrier is created between the barrel / grip bracket and the vehicle's side wall to prevent injury to personnel. It is related to a damping adapter. 10 STATE OF THE ART In armored personnel carriers, personnel can secure their weapons inside the vehicle during duty. For this purpose, 15 at two separate points, corresponding to the buttstock and barrel / grip areas of the weapons. A weapon mounting bracket is included. The buttstock bracket secures the weapon to the lower buttstock area. While the upper bracket (gun holder) serves the function of holding the gun, the upper bracket (gun case) holds the gun away from the grip or barrel area. It allows the weapon to be secured. Personnel inside the vehicle can use these brackets to attach their weapon if needed. It should be easy to remove and use. In current applications, weapon mounting brackets are used on vehicles. It is directly attached to the body, and the shock created by the explosion transferred from the body to these brackets, 20 The energy is also indirectly transferred to the weapon via the brackets. The shock and blast resulting from the explosion... The displacement difference between the walls is directly transferred to the gun carriage and the weapon, the weapon and / or Damage to the chambers, causing the weapon to become dislodged and endangering personnel safety. This can create risks. The current technical application number EP3627090A1 relates to a gun holster for vehicles. The holder is a chassis that can be securely attached to a compartment of the vehicle and the weapon can be held safely. It contains elastic foam that has an opening to allow it to be secured. The gun contains foam. After being secured to the brackets inside, it is protected from external factors thanks to the foam. This is happening. In the application in question, it is stated that the foam was damaged during the mounting of the weapon onto it. Besides the possibility of it being removed, mounting and dismounting the weapon onto the foam would not be practical. Also... Since elastic foam needs to be custom-designed for each weapon, the foam must be selected according to the weapon to be used. It will need to be changed. Another reference in the technical documentation, US20230165367A1, relates to a gun holster configuration. 35 Weapons with different stock and barrel configurations are mounted on a wall-mounted interface. It can be fixed in place. The gun holder provides a secure connection as well as a practical solution. 2 It offers a connection. However, due to the direct attachment of the gun holder to the vehicle body, potential problems may arise. In explosions, the shock will pass through the weapon's casing without being dampened. This situation is as mentioned. It can damage the weapon and its attachments, as well as pose a risk to the personnel inside the vehicle. will create. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a damping intermediate between the barrel / grip holder bracket and the vehicle sidewall. It is an adapter. The aim of the invention is to contain the shock and energy generated during an explosion within this intermediate adapter itself. This is due to the damping of the deformation. In this way, the shock transferred to the weapons during the explosion is reduced. because the likelihood of weapons being damaged and losing their position inside the vehicle is reduced The possibility of harm to personnel is eliminated. The damping adapter that is the subject of this invention, This was confirmed by an explosion test (50 kg IED) carried out 5 meters away from the vehicle, and 15 Its functionality has been proven. Another objective of the invention is to ensure that the damping component of the adapter, during high compression moments, is protected against the fuselage. The purpose is to mitigate the impact on the weapon by preventing contact. Damping part spring Thanks to its geometry, it can withstand maximum displacement in high-intensity explosions, giving it its own 20 It will maintain its structural integrity. In order to fulfill all the purposes stated above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation. The invention; weapon mounting interface to which in-vehicle weapon mounting brackets are connected, weapon mounting The weapon 25 is positioned between the interface and the damping part, and its movement during the explosion is controlled by the damper. a router distance piece that linearly transmits data to the connection interface and to the vehicle side wall fixed in place, its displacement at the moment of the explosion is due to its spring structure, depending on the intensity of the explosion. absorbing the impact and mitigating the shock transferred to the weapon by undergoing permanent deformation. It contains the aforementioned damping component that absorbs the moisture.

Weapon mounting bracket 10 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This detailed explanation of the invention's innovation is solely for the purpose of providing a better understanding of the subject matter. This is explained with examples that will not create any limiting effects. 15 One of the threats that armored personnel carriers may be exposed to during their deployment is vehicle damage. These are external explosions. The invention involves detonating the weapons of personnel in armored personnel carriers. It is aimed at enabling it to be kept safe and stable against threats. The invention in the center, the vehicle interior brackets (gun bays) (4) on which weapons are mounted and these brackets 20 (4) an intermediate adapter is placed between the vehicle wall to which it is attached and the shock absorber. In this invention, the damping piece (1) located between the wall and the gun bay, It undergoes permanent deformation at the moment of the explosion, absorbing a large amount of energy, and Thanks to its flexibility, it reduces the displacement difference between the walls (side wall-ceiling). It can tolerate the transfer without resorting to weapons. Thus, while personnel safety is increased, the weapons' 25 The likelihood of damage is reduced and the usability of weapons after an explosion is improved. is being increased. The damping adapter described in this invention is comprised of three main parts. The damping... Part (1) absorbs the shock transmitted to the weapon by undergoing permanent deformation at the moment of explosion. 30 This part's rigidity is optimized to withstand varying explosion intensities. This ensures that the weapon can withstand explosions even in situations below the vehicle's ballistic protection level. The transmitted shock effect is effectively dampened. High intensity. In explosions, the damping part (1) withstands the maximum displacement and its own structural To maintain its integrity, a second arc geometry has been added to this piece. This geometry is 35 During high compression moments, it prevents the damper from making contact with the body, thus reducing the impact. It alleviates the linear movement of the guide distance piece (2) and the damper piece (1). 4 This ensures that the part mounted in front of these parts is the weapon interface (3). It is formed and the weapon mounting bracket (weapon housing) (4) is located on this part.
