Optical mine detection probe for identifying mine, has displacement units to displace one of sectors in differential direction of sectors from axis of rod while maintaining portion of nozzle at rod's end such that rod forms end of probe

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The probe has a rod (4) constituted of a movable nozzle (6) arranged at an end (7) of a hollow tube (5) opposite to a handle (8). The nozzle includes displacement units to displace the nozzle between extreme positions. The nozzle includes slots that are distributed to form sectors that are separated from one another. The displacement units displace one of the sectors in a differential direction of the sectors from an axis of the rod while maintaining the portion of the nozzle at an end of the rod such that the rod forms an end of the probe. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for identifying a material to be implemented with a probe. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Optical mine detection probe for identifying an explosive object i.e. mine, that does not contain metal. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The displacement units displace one of the sectors in a differential direction of the sectors from an axis of the rod while maintaining the portion of the nozzle at an end of the rod such that the rod forms an end of the probe., thus reducing risks of mechanical blockage of moving parts and limiting or eliminating the risks of disruption of analysis of nature of the object without requiring removal of core and without using an identification unit. The probe can analyze the object by the minesweeper without need to evacuate the other minesweepers at a safety distance or without need to add an additional probe while improving work facility of the minesweeper. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a probe. 4 : Rod 5 : Hollow tube 6 : Movable nozzle 7 : Tube's end 8 : Handle.
