Armored Cabin Curved Side Walls Blast Deflection

The patent applies curvature by forming the protective plate into a convex shape with a radius of curvature between 0.5 to 2 meters. This curved geometry eliminates the need for welding multiple flat plates together, as the convex plate can be contoured to accommodate various organ volumes while maintaining structural integrity throughout. The curvature distributes stress evenly across the plate surface, preventing the formation of weak welding zones that would be susceptible to blast damage.

The invention merges the functions of multiple separate floor plates into a single integrated convex protective plate. This unified structure eliminates the welding joints between multiple plates while still providing the necessary adaptability to accommodate different organ volumes through its contoured geometry. The merging of these functions into one piece resolves the contradiction by removing the weak welding zones while preserving volume adaptation capabilities.

The convex shape of the protective plate with its specific radius of curvature (0.5 to 2 meters) provides superior blast protection compared to flat plates. The curved geometry naturally distributes and deflects blast waves and shock pressures across its surface, reducing concentrated stress points. This curvature-based protection mechanism works in conjunction with the overprotection system to provide enhanced reliability, preventing rupture at what would otherwise be vulnerable welding zones by eliminating them entirely.

The convex protective plate acts as a pre-positioned cushioning element that absorbs and distributes blast energy before it reaches the floor structure. By installing this curved plate in advance, the system creates a protective barrier that attenuates shock and blast effects, working synergistically with the overprotection to prevent structural failure before it occurs.

The patent implements nesting by integrating concave side walls that extend downward to surround and protect the mobility means (wheels or tracks). The convex protective plate forms the upper structure, while the concave side walls nest below it to enclose the mobility components. This nested arrangement provides comprehensive protection, covering both the cabin area and the mobility means, thereby enhancing the vehicle's overall adaptability and protection versatility.

The invention extends the protection structure into a third dimension by adding vertical concave side walls that descend from the convex plate to encompass the mobility means. This dimensional extension transforms the protection system from a two-dimensional floor plate into a three-dimensional protective enclosure, thereby covering both the cabin floor area and the underlying mobility components with a single integrated structure.
