Description
ARMORED vEHICLE, ESPECIALLY COMBAT vEHICLE
The invention relates to an armored vehicle, especially a combat or military vehicle, havin8 an outer wail in which is disposed an air inlet opening, behind which a radiator is positioned in the interior of the vehicle, whereby the air inlet opening is provided with a ballistic protective device.
1 o With known armored vehicles, the ballistic protective dovices are formed at the air inlet opening in general as so-called gratings, which has the drawback that the ballistic ~fl'ects are a function of direction, and the radar signatures ars conspicuous. It is also known to dispose respective cooer plates over the air Inlet openings, wheroby the air enters from the side below the cover plates, which has the drawback that the vehicle roofs must be raised.
It is en objoot of thv invention to provide an armon:d vehicle, espeai~Ily a oombat or military vehicle, having the features d~~oribed initially in the intmduotory portion of the patent claim 1 in suoh a way that on the one hand an adequate supply of air is ensured, and on the other hand, however, a high ballistic protection snd a low radar and IR signature can be achi~ved.

This object is inventively realized in that in the interior of the vehicle, in the region between the radiator and the sir inlet opening, there is disposed a base plate that extends essentially parallel to the outer wall, and the outer dimensions of which are equal to or Smaller by a prescribed amount than th~ dimensions of the air Inlet opening, and the intannediate spacos between the outer edges of the base piste and the inner ages of the air Inlet opening are closod off by cover plates that form a Closed ring, and the base piste is provided in the central portion with an air passage, below which the radiator is positioned, and the recessed area formed by the base plate and the cover plates is partially coverod by a protective plate, the dimensions of which, at least along partial porilons of its outer edges, are smaller than the dimensions of the air inlet opening yet greater than the dimensions of the air passage in the base plate, and which is disposed essentially in the plane of the outer wall. Advantageous further develvpmenfs of the invention are described subsequently and in the dependent claims.
The basic concept of the invention is to cover the air inlQt opening, with the exception of at least two open air passage slots that permit air to enter, with a protective plate that is embodied as an armorod plate end is essentially flush and parallel with the surrounding vehicle contour.

Disposed below this protective plate i9 a base plate that is provided in the central portion with an air passage, below which Is positioned the radiator. Since the protective plate overlaps the air passage in the base plate, a ballistic seal is ensured at all angles of threat.
Furthermore, plates can be disposed in the edge region that extend parallel to the covering protective plate end that at the same time are used for producing a flow distribution that is balanced out over the air inlet opening. Th~ space below the coverlrlA protective plate is divided by partitions that are essentially perpendicular to the protective plate in such a way that at least two volumes associated with the aforementioned air passage slots result. The partitions can be connected to the covering protsctivv plat~ and can be disposed either spaced from or flush with the following air guidance elements. Due to the back v~nting of the covering protective plate, a low IR signature can be achieved, while a Ivw radar signature results from the planar prat~ctive plate that is disposed parallel to the surrounding vehicle structure, and which aan be improved still further by radar-absorbing coatings of the air inlet region as well as of the underside of the covering protective plate and of the partitions.

Flp. 'I shows the starting situation of a roof or top plate of an otheilnrlse net illustrated combat or military vehicle in the region of an air inlet opening. The roof or top plate 1 has a rectangular opening 2, below which is arranged a radiator 3 In the manner indicated. The opening 2 is now to be closed off with a ballistic protective cover.
For this purpose, as can be seen in Fig. 2, a base plate 5, which extends essentially parallel to the roof plate 1, is disposed in the Literal Translation of PGTlDE091000db tiled 09 October 2002 I Rudoff Zurek of al I 5roka I OZ-121 P
interior of the vehicle in the region betw~en the radiator 3 and the air inlet opening of the roof plate 1; the outer dimensions of the base plate are slightly less than th~ dimensions of the air inlet opening 2. Cover plates 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 serve for the mounting of the base plate 5;
these cover plates are inserted into the intermediate spaces between the outer edges of the base plate 5 and th~ inner edges of the air inlet opening 2, and form a closed ring. In this connection, as can be seen in Fig. 2, the cover plates 4.2 and 4.4 drop at a slight angle inwardly toward the central portlr'n of the base plate. In its central portion, the t0 base plate 3 Is provided with a rectangular air opening or passage 6, below which is positioned the radiator 3. By means of the Cover plates 4.1 to 4.4, the intermediat~ spaces between base plate 5 and roof plate 1 are completely closed off to the Interior of the vehicle.
As can be seen in Fig. 3, the recessed area in the contour of the vehicle formed by the base plate 5 and the cover plates 4.1 to 4.4 is now partially covered by a rectangular proteCtlve plate 7 in such a way that en on the whol~a annular passage slot results between the outer edges of the proteCtlve plate 7 and the inner edges of tho air inlet opening 2. In this connection, the protective plate 7 is disposed In the plane of the roof plate 1 end parallel thereto, and is dimensioned in such a way that it completely spans the air passage 6 in the base plate Liters!

5, so that at all angles of threat, a ballistic seal Is ensured. The air entry can be sff~cted from four sides through the annular channel that is formed.
Further protective and air-conducting elements can be Introduced into the intermediate space b~tween base plate 5 and protective plate 7.
Thi9 will be explained in greater detail in the following.
Fig. 4 Illustrates haw the space between base plate 5 and protective ZO plate 7 can be divided by air-conducting plates 8.1. 8.2 and 8,3 into a plurality of entry regions for the Incoming air, with the entry regions being separated from one another. For this purpose, the aim conducting plates 8.1 to 8.3, when viewed in plan upon the air p2ssage 6, are disposed in an H-shaped manner, wh~reby the cross place 8.3 of the H is disposed escentialiy on a center line of the air passage 6, and the two longitudinal members 8.1 and 8.2 of the H ~xt~nd in the edge regions of the air passage 8. in this connection, the length of the two longitudinal members 8.1 and 8.2 is greater than the width of the air paSsa9e 8. As can be seen in Flg. 4, there thus result four air entry regions info which the air flows in the directions of the arrows A, 8, C
and D, and in particular in such a way that no mixing together of the air T

streams, which enter from four directions, occurs, and turbulence, and parasitic air currents, below the protective plate 7 are avoided.
It is, of course, also possible to divide the space between bas~ plate S and proteGtlve plate by differently arranged air conducting plates Into a plurality of entry regions for the incoming air, which entry regions ere separated from one another. Thus, for example, deviating from the posEtion illustrated in Fig_ 4, and when viewed in plan upon thv air passage, the air-conducting plates can also be arranged in a T-shaped or Y-shaped manner. The important thing is that s~paragted air entry regions result, so that no mixing together of the air Streams, which enter from different directions, occurs.
As can be seen In Flg. 5, an irttermediete armor or shi~Iding 9 can furthermore be disposed in the space between the base plate 5 and the protective plate 7 of Fig. 5, with tho central region of the Intermediate shielding being provided with a further air passago that is disposed over the air passage 8 and that Is spaced a certain amount from both the base plate 5 as wail as the protective plate 7. The outer dimensions of the intermediate shi~Iding 9 can be the same or greater than the outer dimeneions~ of the protective plate 7, as can be seen from Fig. 6.

Due to the provision of the intermediate shielding 9, the in-flow paths of the air are further split in the vertical direction, depending upon whether the air stream is moved above or below th~ intermediate shielding 9.
As can be seen from Fig. 5, there thus result four upper air streams A1, B1, C1 and D1, and four lower airstreams A2, BZ, C2 arid D2. in this connection, the partial alrstreams A1 to D1 are guided into the inner regions of the air passage fi between the covering protective plate 7 and the Intermediate shielding 8, while the partial airstreems A2 to D2, l0 which extend in the region between the intermediate shielding 9 and the base plate 5, are guided Into the outer regions. The intermediate shielding 8 forth~rmore has the objective of closing off the ballistieally wQak locations at the edges below the covering prot~ctive plate 7.
Fig. 6 shows the ballistically tight and aefodynamically optimized air filet opening 2 in the surrounding vehicle armor 1. The annular gap between roof plate 1 and protective plate ? can be coo~red with an air-permeable, radar effective cover, or the cover plates 4.1 to 4.4, and the undersides of the covering protective plate 7 as well as of the intermediate shielding g, can be provided with radar-absorbing coatings.
