Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection balistique. Elle s'applique par exemple pour la protection de véhicules ou de personnes contre des agressions de type balistique.The present invention relates to a ballistic protection device. It applies for example for the protection of vehicles or people against ballistic type attacks.
Les dispositifs de protection balistique équipent divers types de structures, de matériels ou de personnes. A titre d'exemple, les véhicules légers susceptibles de se déplacer en territoire hostile, en mission de reconnaissance par exemple, sont équipés d'une protection balistique.Ballistic protection devices equip various types of structures, equipment or people. For example, light vehicles likely to move in hostile territory, reconnaissance mission for example, are equipped with a ballistic protection.
Le but premier de ces dispositifs est de protéger efficacement contre les agressions balistiques, notamment des projectiles perforants. A cet effet, ils comportent notamment une ou plusieurs couches d'aciers généralement associées à des couches de céramique, toutes ces couches étant fixées entre elles par des joints de colle ou par goujons vissés. Ces assemblages forment ainsi des panneaux boucliers capables de résister à des projectiles perforants de plus ou moins grande taille et de très forte énergie cinétique. Ces panneaux présentent plusieurs inconvénients. Un premier inconvénient tient à leur poids et à leur faible maniabilité. En particulier les matériaux constituant ces panneaux ainsi que leurs épaisseurs nécessaires donnent à l'ensemble un poids important doublé d'un manque de souplesse d'utilisation.The primary purpose of these devices is to effectively protect against ballistic aggression, including piercing projectiles. For this purpose, they comprise in particular one or more layers of steels generally associated with ceramic layers, all these layers being fixed together by glue joints or by screwed studs. These assemblies thus form shield panels capable of withstanding piercing projectiles of greater or lesser size and very high kinetic energy. These panels have several disadvantages. A first disadvantage is their weight and low maneuverability. In particular the materials constituting these panels and their necessary thicknesses give the whole a significant weight coupled with a lack of flexibility of use.
Un deuxième inconvénient réside dans le manque d'adaptation de ces dispositifs à des formes plus ou moins complexes. Les panneaux protecteurs utilisés ne peuvent épouser toutes sortes de formes. Pour des raisons pratiques, les dimensions des panneaux ne peuvent descendre en dessous d'une certaine surface, ce qui limite les formes possibles, en particulier les formes arrondies sont exclues.A second disadvantage lies in the lack of adaptation of these devices to more or less complex shapes. The protective panels used can not fit all kinds of shapes. For practical reasons, the dimensions of the panels can not fall below a certain surface, which limits the possible shapes, in particular the rounded shapes are excluded.
Un autre inconvénient provient notamment des angles, ou des arêtes, saillants que peuvent présenter ces formes composées de panneaux plans. En particulier ces angles ou arêtes saillants sont facilement repérables par des systèmes radar.Another drawback comes in particular angles, or edges, protruding that can present these forms composed of flat panels. In particular, these angles or salient edges are easily identifiable by radar systems.
Un document
Un but de l'invention est notamment de pallier les inconvénients précités. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de protection contre des projectiles balistiques selon la revendication principale, comportant au moins trois couches de tissus synthétiques formant les renforts d'une même pièce obtenue par moulage par transfert de résine.An object of the invention is in particular to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device for protecting against ballistic projectiles according to the main claim, comprising at least three layers of synthetic fabrics forming the reinforcements of the same piece obtained by resin transfer molding.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la première couche, orientée vers les projectiles, est composée de tissu de fibres d'aramide.In a particular embodiment, the first layer, projectile oriented, is composed of aramid fiber fabric.
la couche du milieu est constituée de tissu comportant des fibres de verres croisées avec des fibres de carbone.the middle layer is made of fabric having glass fibers crossed with carbon fibers.
La couche du milieu est tissée en trois dimensions, les fibres de verres et les fibres de carbone étant tissées dans deux dimensions, les fibres des verres étant orientées selon une première direction et les fibres de carbone étant orientées selon une deuxième direction.The middle layer is woven in three dimensions, the glass fibers and the carbon fibers being woven in two dimensions, the fibers of the glasses being oriented in a first direction and the carbon fibers being oriented in a second direction.
Les deux directions peuvent se croiser selon un angle inférieur ou égal à 90°, par exemple compris entre 30°et 60°.The two directions can cross at an angle less than or equal to 90 °, for example between 30 ° and 60 °.
Ces renforts tissés, superposés deux à deux, sont liés entre eux pour assurer une cohésion dans la troisième direction.These woven reinforcements, superimposed two by two, are linked together to ensure cohesion in the third direction.
La troisième couche est par exemple composée de renforts de tissus liés deux à deux par le procédé de tissage dans la troisième direction.The third layer is for example composed of fabric reinforcements linked two by two by the weaving process in the third direction.
Un ensemble de deux renforts tissés liés deux à deux comporte un premier renfort en fibres de carbone lié au deuxième en fibres d'aramide.A set of two woven reinforcements connected in pairs comprises a first carbon fiber reinforcement bonded to the second aramid fiber.
Le tissu de la troisième couche comporte par exemple un maillage plus fin que celui des autres couches.The fabric of the third layer comprises for example a finer mesh than that of the other layers.
Chaque couche comporte un empilement de couches de tissus, le nombre de couches de tissu dépendant de l'épaisseur souhaitée.Each layer has a stack of tissue layers, the number of layers of tissue depending on the desired thickness.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, l'épaisseur de la troisième couche est moitié de l'épaisseur de la couche du milieu.In a particular embodiment, the thickness of the third layer is half the thickness of the middle layer.
Avantageusement, la résine peut-être une résine phénolique.Advantageously, the resin may be a phenolic resin.

La
La première couche 31 est disposée du côté de la menace, en l'occurrence l'arrivée d'un projectile balistique 30. Elle est par exemple composée de fibres d'aramide noyée dans de la résine. Les fibres sont préalablement tissées à sec selon un tissage en deux dimensions. Le tissu sec forme le renfort de la couche 31 plusieurs couches de tissus étant nécessaires pour obtenir l'épaisseur souhaitée de la couche 31 obtenue par moulage par transfert de résine, comme cela sera décrit par la suite.The

Elle empêche par ailleurs les effets arrière précités.This first layer caliber at least the penetration diameter, it decreases the depth of penetration. It also prevents the aforementioned rear effects.

A ce premier renfort se superpose un deuxième renfort identique au premier, positionné en symétrie miroir par rapport au premier.To this first reinforcement is superimposed a second reinforcement identical to the first, positioned in mirror symmetry with respect to the first.
La cohésion des deux renforts dans la troisième direction se fait, soit par couture avec des fils 52, soit par un film de colle 53. Cette deuxième couche a un rôle prépondérant dans la mesure où elle casse le projectile ou le bloque, et dissipe l'énergie due au choc. La taille des mailles du tissage est notamment adaptée au diamètre des projectiles. En ce qui concerne l'épaisseur, elle est aussi adaptée au type de projectile et notamment de son pouvoir pénétrant. Une épaisseur de l'ordre de 50 à 80 millimètres peut être nécessaire. Les renforts tissés nécessaires sont empilés en nombre suffisant pour obtenir l'épaisseur souhaitée.The cohesion of the two reinforcements in the third direction is done, either by sewing with
La troisième couche 33 est par exemple composée de renforts tissés liés deux par deux dans le procédé de tissage, ces renforts étant ensuite juxtaposés pour obtenir l'épaisseur souhaitée. Un premier renfort comporte une première nappe, par exemple en fibre de carbone ou fibre de verre, liée à une deuxième nappe par passage d'un fil de trame ou de chaîne de la première nappe dans la deuxième, par exemple en fibre d'aramide dans le cas de cette couche 33.The
La
En particulier, cette troisième couche 33 encaisse la déformation résiduelle de la deuxième couche 32, dissipe l'onde de choc. Elle apporte notamment la résistance avec la continuité de la matière, par dissipation des contraintes mécaniques dans toute la face arrière.In particular, this
La troisième couche 33 a par exemple une épaisseur de l'ordre de la moitié de l'épaisseur de la deuxième couche 32.The
Les épaisseurs des couches sont adaptées au niveau de protection recherché.The thicknesses of the layers are adapted to the desired level of protection.
Des couches de protection 34, 35 sont par exemple fixées de chaque côté de l'ensemble formé des trois couches 31, 32, 33. Un film conducteur ou une peinture adaptée peuvent être appliqués sur ces couches.
La
L'ensemble des trois couches est formé de tissus superposés 71, 72, 73. Chaque couche se caractérise par son type de tissu. Le nombre de couches de tissus de chaque couche 31, 32, 33 dépend du niveau ou du type de protection recherché comme indiqué ci-dessus. Ces couches sont empilées au fond d'un moule 70, représenté en coupe, dont la forme intérieure correspond à la forme que l'on cherche à donner au dispositif de protection. Un très grand nombre de formes est ainsi possible.The set of three layers is formed of superimposed
Le dessus du moule est fermé par un couvercle 74, en fait une bâche en plastique semi-perméable. Des joints 75 disposés entre la bâche et le moule permettent d'assurer l'étanchéité et ainsi de bien fermer le moule.The top of the mold is closed by a
Dans une première phase, les collections de tissus secs 71, 72, 73 sont donc empilés au fond du moule, puis ce dernier est fermé par la bâche 74. Ensuite, une pompe à vide 77 est activée. Celle ci est reliée par un conduit 78 à l'intérieur du moule. Ce conduit 78 débouche à un endroit situé au niveau des couches de tissus, sensiblement opposé à celui où débouche l'arrivée 76 de résine. Dans la phase suivante, en manoeuvrant le robinet d'arrêt 79, de la résine liquide est envoyée à l'intérieur du moule par un conduit adapté 76 placé en sorte que la résine pénètre l'ensemble des couches. Une grille située au niveau du conduit 78 de la pompe à vide stoppe l'écoulement de la résine.In a first phase, the
Avantageusement, des surépaisseurs ponctuelles de tissus peuvent être réalisées en certains endroits pour réaliser des renforts ou pour contenir des inserts.Advantageously, spot thicknesses of tissue may be made in some places to make reinforcements or to contain inserts.
La résine utilisée peut être de la résine époxy ou de la résine phénolique. Ce dernier type de résine a notamment comme avantage d'être un très bon isolant thermique, ce qui améliore la tenue au feu.The resin used may be epoxy resin or phenolic resin. This last type of resin has the particular advantage of being a very good thermal insulator, which improves the fire resistance.
Dans le bilan global de la masse d'un dispositif selon l'invention, la proportion de résine, formant la matrice, peut être par exemple de l'ordre de 30% et la proportion de tissus peut être de l'ordre de 70%. Une telle structure permet d'obtenir un gain de poids très important tout en assurant une très bonne résistance mécanique comme l'ont démontré les essais réalisés par la Déposante.In the overall balance of the mass of a device according to the invention, the proportion of resin, forming the matrix, can be for example of the order of 30% and the proportion of tissue can be of the order of 70% . Such a structure provides a very significant weight gain while ensuring a very good mechanical strength as demonstrated by the tests performed by the Applicant.
