Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ramme zum Innen-Rammen von Rohren wie beispielsweise Schutz- oder Leitungsrohre.The invention relates to a ram for ramming pipes such as protective or conduit pipes.

Das Einrammen von nachfolgend als Vortriebsrohr bezeichne­ten Rohren erfordert in aller Regel eine Startgrube bzw. einen Startschacht, in dem Ramme und Vortriebsrohr vor­bereitet werden. Um die Abmessungen der Startgrube zu ver­ringern, ist es durch die deutsche Gebrauchsmusterschrift 87 07 158 bekanntgeworden, die Ramme nicht mehr mit ihrer Schlagspitze direkt oder mittels eines Rammaufsatzes in das rückwärtige Rohrende eingreifen zu lassen, sondern in dem Vortriebsrohr anzuordnen. Auf diese Weise wird die er­forderliche Länge der Startgrube im wesentlichen lediglich von der Länge des Vortriebsrohres bestimmt.The ramming of pipes referred to below as jacking pipes generally requires a starting pit or a starting shaft in which the ram and jacking pipe are prepared. In order to reduce the dimensions of the launch pit, it has become known from German utility model 87 07 158 that the ram can no longer be engaged directly or by means of a ramming attachment in the rear tube end, but must be arranged in the jacking tube. In this way, the required length of the launch pit is essentially determined only by the length of the jacking pipe.

Damit sich das Vortriebsrohr einrammen läßt, ist die be­kannte Innenramme von einem in dem Vortriebsrohr ange­ordneten Hüllrohr umschlossen, wobei die kegelförmige Schlagspitze der Ramme formschlüssig in einen an dem in Vortriebsrichtung vorderen Ende des Hüllrohres angeordneten Innenring eingreift, so daß sich die Schubkraft der Ramme über die entweder bewegliche oder mit dem Rammengehäuse starr verbundene Schlagspitze auf den Innenring und damit das umhüllende Rohr überträgt. Zum Umlenken der auf das Hüllrohr übertragenen Schubkraft und zum Umsetzen als Vor­triebskraft für das Vortriebsrohr, befindet sich ein Au­ßenkragen an dem in Richtung des Vortriebs hinteren Ende des Hüllrohres, der sich an die rückwärtige Stirnseite des Vortriebsrohres anlegt; die Schubkraft wird somit über den Innenring, das Hüllrohr und den Außenkragen auf das Vor­triebsrohr umgelenkt. Um Prallschläge zu vermeiden, die unter der Amboßwirkung des am Vortriebsrohr stumpf anlie­genden Außenkragens des Hüllrohres entstehen, sind die Ram­me und das Rohr durch eine Verspannung miteinander ver­bunden.So that the jacking tube can be rammed in, the known inner ram is enclosed by a cladding tube arranged in the jacking tube, the conical impact tip of the ram positively engaging in an inner ring arranged at the forward end of the cladding tube in the direction of advance, so that the thrust force of the ramming over the either movable or with the ram housing rigidly connected impact tip on the inner ring and thus transmits the enveloping tube. To deflect the thrust force transmitted to the cladding tube and to convert it as a thrust for the jacking tube, there is an outer collar at the rear end of the cladding tube in the direction of jacking, which lies against the rear end of the jacking tube; the thrust is thus redirected to the jacking pipe via the inner ring, the cladding tube and the outer collar. In order to avoid impact impacts that occur under the anvil effect of the outer collar of the cladding tube, which abuts the jacking tube bluntly, the ram and the tube are connected to one another by a tension.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Innen-Rammen von Rohren zu verbessern, insbesondere den maschinellen Aufwand zu verringern.The invention has for its object to improve the internal ramming of pipes, in particular to reduce the mechanical effort.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das rückwärtige Ende der Ramme mit dem in Vortriebsrichtung hinteren Ende des Vortriebsrohres vorzugsweise formschlüs­sig verbunden ist, wozu sich das rückwärtige Ende der Ramme vorteilhaft mit einem sich zur Vortriebsrichtung verjüngen­den Ansatz versehen läßt. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung des beispielsweise verdickten rückwärtigen Endes der Ramme bzw. des Rammengehäuses mit dem hinteren Ende des Vortriebsrohres wird die Schubkraft der Ramme direkt, d.h. ohne Umlenkung als Vortriebskraft in das Vortriebsrohr ein­geleitet. Dazu bedarf es weder eines die Ramme zusätzlich umhüllenden, außerdem mit einem Kragen versehenen Rohres, noch einer das Vortriebsrohr mit der Ramme zur Vermeidung von Prallschlägen kuppelnden Spanneinrichtung.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the rear end of the ram is preferably positively connected to the rear end of the jacking tube in the direction of advance, for which purpose the rear end of the ram can advantageously be provided with a tapering approach to the direction of advance. Due to the connection according to the invention of the thickened rear end of the ram or the ram housing with the rear end of the jacking tube, the thrust of the ram is introduced directly, ie without deflection as jacking force into the jacking tube. This does not require a tube which additionally envelops the ram and is also provided with a collar, or a tensioning device which couples the jacking tube to the ram in order to avoid impact impacts.

Durch ein Verbindungsstück, wie einen Rammkegel oder ein Rammsegment, zwischen dem Ansatz und dem Vortriebsrohr läßt sich das durch den Ansatz verdickte rückwärtige Ende der Ramme an unterschiedliche Rohrdurchmesser anpassen; es brau­chen lediglich ein oder mehrere dem Innendurchmesser des Vortriebsrohres entsprechende Verbindungsstücke auf den Rammansatz aufgeschoben zu werden.By means of a connecting piece, such as a ram cone or a ram segment, between the extension and the jacking pipe, the rear end of the ram, thickened by the extension, can be adapted to different pipe diameters; it is only necessary to push one or more connecting pieces corresponding to the inside diameter of the jacking pipe onto the ramming attachment.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeich­nung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels des näheren erläu­tert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 im Längsschnitt eine erfindungsgemäß über einen Ansatz am rückwärtigen Ende der Ramme mit dem hinteren Ende des Vortriebsrohres verbundene In­nenramme und
  • Fig. 2 die Ramme gemäß Fig. 1 in einer Startgrube nach dem Ansetzen eines Folgerohrs an ein nahezu völ­lig in das Erdreich eingerammtes Vortriebsrohr.
The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • Fig. 1 in longitudinal section an according to the invention via an attachment at the rear end of the ram connected to the rear end of the jacking tube and
  • Fig. 2 shows the ram according to Fig. 1 in a starting pit after attaching a follower pipe to a jacking pipe almost completely rammed into the ground.

In einem an seinem vorderen Ende einen Schneidschuh 1 aufweisendes Vortriebsrohr 2 ist eine Ramme 3 angeordnet, die mit ihrer konischen Schlagspitze 4 in einem Stützring 5 lagert. Das rückwärtige Ende der Ramme 3 besitzt einen sich in Richtung zur Schlagspitze 4 verjüngenden Ansatz 6 sowie ein auf den Ansatz 6 aufgeschobenes, als Rammkegel ausge­bildetes Verbindungsstück 7, so daß das rückwärtige Ende der Ramme 3 über den Ansatz 6 und den Rammkegel 7 mit dem hinteren Ende des Vortriebsrohres 2 verbunden ist.In a jacking tube 2 having a cutting shoe 1 at its front end, a ram 3 is arranged, which is supported with its conical striking tip 4 in a support ring 5. The rear end of the ram 3 has a tapering in the direction of the impact tip 4 approach 6 and a push-fit on the approach 6, formed as a ram cone 7, so that the rear end of the ram 3 over the approach 6 and the ram cone 7 with the rear End of the jacking pipe 2 is connected.

In Fig. 2 ist das Ansetzen eines Folgerohrs 2b an ein nahezu völlig in das Erdreich 8 eingerammtes Vortriebsrohr 2a dargestellt. Das Folgerohr 2b befindet sich in der dargestellten Ausgangslage in einer Startgrube 9 und stützt sich mittels auf Untergestellen 10 prismatisch angeordneter Stützrollen 11 auf einem Bodenrahmen 12 ab. Die Ramme 3 ist mit ihrem rückwärtigen Ende über den konischen Ansatz 6 und den zwischengeschalteten Rammkegel 7 formschlüssig mit dem in Richtung des Vortriebs hinteren Ende des Folgerohrs 2b verbunden.2 shows the attachment of a following pipe 2b to a jacking pipe 2a which is almost completely rammed into the soil 8. The following pipe 2b is in the starting position shown in a starting pit 9 and is supported on a base frame 12 by means of support rollers 11 arranged prismatically on bases 10. The rear end of the ram 3 is positively connected to the rear end of the follow-up tube 2b in the direction of propulsion via the conical extension 6 and the intermediate ram cone 7.

Ein nicht dargestellter, im Innern des Gehäuses der Ramme 3 wechselweise hin- und herbewegter, gegebenenfalls mehrere Tonnen schwerer Schlagkolben überträgt seine Schlagenergie über den Ansatz 6 und den Rammkegel 7 auf das Folgerohr 2b und treibt dieses mit jedem Schlag weiter vor. Der Schlag­kolben wird in der Regel pneumatisch, hydraulisch oder mechanisch beaufschlagt. Im vorliegenden Fall wird Druck­luft von einem nicht dargestellten Kompressor über einen Luftschlauch 13 mit integriertem Umsteuerventil 14 in das Gehäuseinnere der Ramme 3 geleitet.A not shown, in the interior of the ram 3 reciprocating, possibly several tons heavy percussion piston transmits its impact energy via the extension 6 and the ram cone 7 to the following tube 2b and drives it forward with each stroke. The percussion piston is usually acted upon pneumatically, hydraulically or mechanically. In the present case, compressed air is passed from a compressor (not shown) via an air hose 13 with an integrated reversing valve 14 into the interior of the ram 3.
