Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device for milling and enlarging the inside diameter or the inside contour of as earthwork such as a conduit for example, with a milling tool which is held on an extension arm on a carrier which can be positioned irx the cross section to be milled, with the carrier haying rolls for support and for traversing the cross section to be milled.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ,ART
A milling device for enlarging the inside diameter of a conduit is described in AT 396 270 :for example. In this known device the excavation tool is movably held along a connecting link, with the connecting link being produced accordiztg to the proEle to be milled in order to adapt the milling machine appropriately. The known apparatus is provided with a carrier which is braced in the inside diameter. It has already been proposed principally to hold the milling tool on the frame by a freely guided robot arm whose movements are controllable in conforrraity with the profile, WO 90/ 12979 shows as apparatus for working pipe systems in forrn of a go-devil which is held on several supporting wheels. The go-devil carries a tool on an extension arm. The extension arm is arranged on a pivoted bogie so as to be swivelable in the radial direction, with the bogie being swivelable about a longitudinal axis. In this manner the tool can be brought to any desired position on the pipe wall. Such a device is suitable for inspection and minoz maintenance work, particularly in pipe systems with a small cross sections. It has been seen however that rough work cannot be easily performed with a device of such an arrangeanent. Particularly the enlargement of the cress suction by milling has proved to be problematic, since in this way it is not possible to achieve any favorable angle of attack far the milling tool. 1V,(oreover, the relatively large occurring forces cannot be absorbed optimally by the gear mechanism.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the object of the present invention to avoid such disadvantages and to provide a device of the kind rrxentioned above izt which a known movable basic appliance can be adapted in a particularly easy manner to any desired contours and an automatic control of the advance is enabled, e.g, along a line control device.
This object is achieved in accordance with the inventivr~ that the extension azm is gimbal-mounted on th.e carrier about a horizontal axis and about a further axis and that the point of articulation on the extension arm is height-adjustable.
Aue to the fact that a gimbal-mounted extension arm is provided and the substantially horizontal swivelirxg axis of the extension arm for pivoting the extension arm in the direction of height is arranged in or close to the horizontal diameter of an outer envelope circle about the planned shape of profile, the necessary prerequisites arc fulfilled to align the device in a self traversing manner to a directional or guide beam and work out the desired setpoiat profile. For this purpose the substantially hozizontal swiveling axis is advantageously arranged on a carriage or rocker adjustable in the direction of height. It is adequate for the precise control to align said substantially horizontal swiveliztg axis on the section guide beam in order to enable the adherence to the correct geometrical conditions with respect to the scheduled profrlc in the inside diameter to be carved or enlarged.
The relevant aspect of the present invention is aXso that due to the design it is advaatageously possible to absorb the occurring forces by way of the structure. It is fiuther important that the bearing of the extension artn is provided with more degrees of freedom for the milling tool than would actually be necessary, Even without the height adjustability of the point of articulation the milling tool could still reach every point on the conduit wall within certain limits. However, it is the arrangement in accordance with the invention which ensures a precise control and secures a favorable angle of attack for the tool.
An embodiment in accordance with the invention is provided in a particularly advantageous manner in such a way that the swiveling axis for the horizontal swiveling of the extension arm extends substantially normal to the horizontal swiveling axis, thus ensuring in particular that interior contours or inside diameters which depart fram the circular shape can securely be covered by the extension arm and the milling tools. The required control signals are represented in such a design as the X and Y coordinates of the respective setpoint profile in the cross section to be milled so as to allow automatic traversing along a guide beam in analogy to the method along a line control device.
An embodiment is provided izn a particularly simple manner iz~ such a way that t>ae actuating drives far the vertical and horizontal swiveling of the extension arm are formed by hydraulic cylinders whose position is monitored by a control circuit and is adjusted depending on. a predetermined setpoint profile. The gimbal mounting and the device for the adjustmeztt of the height position of the horizontal swiveling axis can principally be retrofitted on known traversable devices, with an automatic process being enabled in a simple manner due to the geometric design.
A secure adjustment and positioning of the device in the inside diameter can be ensured in a simple mariner in such a way that the carrier carries at least three supporting tolls on the arms which are arranged in a Y-shaped manner izt the cross-sectional plane and are adjustable in the direction torwards the inner surface of the profile. The use of a substantially Y-shaped arrangement of the supporting rolls allows a substantial self centering of the device particularly in cases of cross sections that depart from the circular shape, so that the required effort for subsequent corrections on the section guide beartA can be kept very low. A process control unit earl be used to precisely select different profiles with the hydraulic pistons. The device can be used utuiversally without say major retrofitting work.
An embodiment is provided in accordance with a ftu~tlter preferred development iz~ such a way that the milling tool is arranged on the extension arm at the end of the carrier which is the rear end in the direction of advance or traverse. The removal of the carved material can be omitted with such an arrangement since the same can be simply rinsed away and no longer forms an obstruction during the further advance.
The milling tools can be formed in a particularly simple manner by mihing rollers or milling heads whose axis of rotation is in alignment with the axis of the extension arm. In the case of such an arrangement it is possible, with a respective shape and geometry of the head, to maintain a substantially plane contact of the carving tools with the inner contour and the innez wall of the inside diameter to be enlarged, thus allowing the working speed to be ~increascd.
-5.
As an alternative it is also possible that the axis of rotation of the milling tool is disposed transversally to the axis of the extension arm.
As has already been mentioned, the device is preferably arranged in such a way that the swiveling axes of the extension arm can be aligned with a guide beam, in particular a laser beam, For the purpose of a fully automatic traverse of the device in the interior of the inside diameter depending on the setpoints of a guide beam, the arrangement has been provided in such a way that at least one of the rolls is connected with a traversing mecixanism.
The present invention further relates to a method for milling and enlarging the inside diameter or the inner contour of an earthwork such as a conduit, preferably by using a device of the kind mentioned above. It is provided for in accordance with the invention that a milling tovl is used which is fastened to an extension arm which is gimbal-rzlounted on a point which is arranged at the height of a horizontal diameter of as outer envelope circle about the setpoint shape of profile. A particularly precise enlargement progress can be achieved with such a method.

In the basic frame 1 of the rrxachine an extension arm 7 is articulated swivelably in the direction of height on a rocker 5 about a substantially hozizontal axis 6. The extension arrn 7 is gimbal-mounted, with the substantially vertical swiveling axis being designated with reference numeral 8. E~ctension arm 7 carries at its face-side end milling or cutting tools 9 which are rotationally held coaxially to the axis of the extension azm, with the respective drive motor being designated with reference numeral 10. The substantially vertical swiveling axis 8 is encompassed by a fork 11 of the extension arm 7, thus ensuring a secure absorption o;f the powers ofreeoil.
The swiveling drive for swiveling the extension arm 7 about the substantially horizontal axis 6 is formed by a hydraulic cylinder 12 which acts on any arm 13 of the cardan joint. The swiveling in the substantially horizontal direction is effected by hydraulic cylinder 14, with said two hydraulic cylinders 14, 12 being connected with a central control device 17 by way of control lines 15 and 16, which control device also processes the signals of a line control device (not shown).
For the purpose of the correct adjustment of height of the substantially horizontal swiveling axis G the rocker 5 is swiveled by a hydraulic cylinder 18 so that the horizontal swiveling axis 6 extends substantially diametrically in the envelope circle of the cross section of conduit 4.
The centering or further support is ensured by supporting rolls 19 wluich can be pressed against the inner wall of conduit 4 by mcaas of hydraulic cylinders 20 and are held in a joint carrier 21. As is shown in fig. 2, carriers 21 w>xich are indicated by the dot-dash lines can preferably be arranged in a Y-shaped manner, with self adjustment being enabled in the case of a substantially egg-shaped cross section jointly with the lower driven supporting roll 3.
Departing from the position as shown in the dot-dash, line, the supporting rolls 19 can also be positioned in any desired manner, as has been indicated with the rolls 19 shown in the drawing with the solid limes.
