Mine clearing vehicle for destructing anti-personnel mines, has tripod shaft with thrust surface that cooperates with thrust surfaces in discs such that shaft drives discs while ensuring degree of radial freedom relative to shaft axis

摘要

The vehicle has a running gear comprising a drum composed of floating discs (D), where the discs are placed side by side and move radially relative to each other. The discs have a polygonal shaped central cavity (30) in which a driving unit e.g. tripod shaft (31) passes and extends axially from one end to another end of the drum. The ends are coupled to motorization. The shaft has a thrust surface cooperating with thrust surfaces in the discs at the level of cavity such that the shaft drives each disc while ensuring a degree of radial freedom with respect to a shaft axis.
