Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Rüttlervorraum for the production of columns of material in the soil, in particular of sand columns.
  • the sand when it is not dry but earthy, it regularly clogs the transition funnel from the tank (reservoir) to the production pipe.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an improved Hinttlervorraum for producing columns of material, in particular sand columns, in the ground.
  • a cavity (delivery chamber) is clamped, which can be used to convey sand to the Haittlerspitzen.
  • the feeding of the pumping room with material, in particular sand takes place through the conveyor box, which is provided with openings at regular intervals.
  • material, in particular sand can be introduced into the interior of the conveyor box in a manner not causing any blockage.
  • the openings which are in the ground as the soil is progressing further into the soil, pose no problem as long as the weight of the sand and the water it contains is greater than the pressure in the surrounding soil. This ensures that the soil does not penetrate into the cavity in the ground, but only sand is released into the soil in the desired manner.
  • This arrangement also allows a simple arrangement of a reservoir tank on the ground.
  • the preferably over the length to the output constant cross-section of the conveyor box allows trouble-free feeding of the material (sand) to the output in the ground.
  • the croquttlervorraum two parallel Gans 10 which are connected via a yoke 7 with each other and at a distance b from each other.
  • the distance b between the longitudinal, vertical Center axes M of the vibrating lances 10 is in a range of 0.4 m to 2 m, preferably in a range of 0.4 m to 1 m.

  • the extension tubes 3 and the side walls 2 thereby form a frame.
  • the side walls are substantially parallel to each other.
  • the side walls In order to open the largest possible cavity in the frame formed by extension tubes 3 and side walls 2, the side walls 2, with respect to the axis X, which extends perpendicularly through the central axes M, in the greatest possible distance c from the axis X with the outer periphery of the Extension tube 3 connected.
  • the connection can be made by welding or by means of screws.
  • openings 4 are arranged at regular intervals.
  • the openings have a height h in the longitudinal direction.
  • the distance d between two adjacent openings in the longitudinal direction is preferably greater than the height h, more preferably in the range of 1.02 to 1.5 times the height h.
  • the openings 4 in the two opposite side walls 2 are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction. That is, if in a side view like Fig. 3 an opening 4 is present in the one side wall 2, the other side wall 2, based on the same height in the longitudinal direction of the side wall 2, closed.
  • the openings 4 can be any have geometric shape. In the first illustrated embodiment, the openings 4 are formed as longitudinally elongated hexagons.
  • the side walls 2 have a tapered shape at a lower end (cutting edge) to have an improved penetration property into the ground.
  • the Haittellanzen 10 and the side walls 2 span a space which is a delivery chamber 11, and at the same time form a conveyor box 12 which has a constant cross section sine length perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A lower end of the conveyor box 12 is open.
  • spray nozzles are arranged for a fluid purge.
  • the outlet openings of the spray nozzles are directed downwards in the direction of the deep vibrator 1.
  • a reservoir tank 5 for supplying column material 13, such as sand, is adapted to stand directly on the floor 14.
  • the reservoir tank 5 preferably has a funnel shape.
  • the reservoir container 5 has on its underside an opening whose shape is adapted to the Rüttellanzen 10 with the fixedly connected side walls 2 so that they sealed against leakage of column material and longitudinally slidably extend through the opening of the reservoir tank 5.
  • the vibrating lances 10 and the side walls 2 extend through the opening so that they can be driven through the opening into the ground.
  • the vibrating lances 10 arranged at a distance b in parallel are in the region of the extension tubes 3 adjoining the upper ends of the deep vibrators 1 by two conveying space side walls 8 instead of the (conveying box) side walls 2 which are also arranged parallel to the respective center axes M of the vibrating lances 10. firmly connected.
  • the extension tubes 3 and the delivery chamber side walls 8 thereby form a frame.
  • openings 16 are arranged at regular intervals, which correspond in shape and arrangement of the openings 4 of the side walls 2 of the first embodiment. At the in Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment, the openings 16, however, are rectangular.
  • the delivery chamber side walls 8 have a horizontally extending cutting edge at a lower end.
  • a vertically displaceable, separate conveyor box 12 is arranged in the conveyor chamber 11 spanned by the vibrating lances 10 and the delivery chamber side walls 8.

  • openings 4 are arranged in the longitudinal direction, which are complementary to the respective openings 16 of the respective opposite delivery chamber side wall 8.
  • a hydraulic device e.g. a hydraulic cylinder 18 is arranged.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 18 is adapted to move the conveyor box 12 up and down in the frame, here in the range of about 1 m.
  • the lower end of the conveyor box 12 has a horizontally formed cutting edge.
  • spray nozzles (not shown) for a fluid purge.
  • the outlet openings of the spray nozzles are directed downwards in the direction of the deep vibrator 1.
  • a reservoir tank 5 is arranged as described in the first embodiment.
  • the vibrating lances 10 are positioned.
  • the vibrating lances 10 are raised in a vertical position above the Bodenplanum the future material column position in the ground on the support cable of the cable shovel, the pulley 6 and the yoke 7.
  • the reservoir tank 5 is placed on the floor 14 above the future material column position in the ground so that the vibrating lances 10 etc. can be slidably inserted into the opening in the bottom of the reservoir tank 5. If appropriate, this can only happen when the deep vibrators are already inserted into the ground.
  • the deep vibrators 1 are offset by a respective driven unbalance in horizontal vibrations and the vibrating deep vibrators 1 are lowered into the ground 14.
  • sand 13 is filled in the reservoir tank 5.
  • the filling of the reservoir tank 5 with sand 13 can be done in a simple manner, e.g. be trained with a dump truck.
  • Hinttellanzen 10 takes the delivery chamber 11 and the conveyor box 12 via the openings 4 in the reservoir tank 5 sand 13 in itself and promotes the sand 13 into the tip region of the conveyor box 12 and to the upper end of the already located in the conveyor box 12 sand column.
  • the spray nozzles arranged in the gussets can be used for a water and / or air purge. Its downward spray impulse tears the water and / or the air with it. Furthermore, a water rinse increases the mass of the sand column and makes the sand more fluid.
  • the vibrating lances 10 are introduced to the intended depth of improvement in the bottom 10, wherein continuously through the openings 4 sand 13 is introduced into the conveyor box 12. Depending on the desired depth of the sand column and size of the reservoir tank 5 sand 13 is refilled into the reservoir tank 5.
  • the Haittellanzen 10 After reaching the final depth, the Haittellanzen 10 are raised slightly, optionally supported by the water and / or air purging, sand 13 enters the forming cavity. Thereafter, the Haittellanzen 10 are lowered again and pressed against the sand, the vibration causes the Tiefenrüttler a compression of the sand. With these alternating steps, the material column (Stopfklale) is formed up to the planned height.
  • the conveyor box 12 is carried along with the penetration of the vibrating lances 10 at the same time.
  • the penetration of the conveyor box 12 can be supported in the ground by vertical movements by means of the hydraulic cylinder 18.
  • the conveyor box is, as in the first embodiment, charged with sand 13 from the reservoir tank 5.
  • the conveyor box 12 is moved to the area of the tips 15 of the Tiefenrüttler 1 to improved supply of sand, possibly with the participation of water and / or air flush, in the cavity formed to support.
  • the vibrating lances 10 After the vibrating lances 10 have been lifted completely out of the ground, they can be transported with the crawler crane to the next position for the production of a column of material.
  • the funnel can be dismantled or offset and the floor planum treated in the area of the created material column.
  • the production of such sand columns with the vibrator device according to the invention can be used in particular for land reclamation measures if the soil used for this land reclamation is not clean sand but silty sand which can not or not sufficiently be compacted by vibration of deep vibrators alone ,
  • the sand pillars can carry a large part of the building loads coming from above, whereby the settlement would be greatly reduced compared to an otherwise identical landfill without sand pillars.
  • Another positive effect is the reduction in the risk of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction.
  • the use of two or more deep vibrators 1 also has an advantageous effect on the size of the conveyor tube / conveyor box.
  • the size of the conveyor tube is limited in principle by the need to be able to lower the unit of deep vibrator 1 and conveyor box 12 even deeper.
  • a significantly larger conveyor tube can be attached.
  • the use of the spray nozzles also has an advantageous effect on the flow of the sand.
  • the downward spray impulses of the spray nozzles entrain the sand, and on the other hand, the water content of the sand is increased, thereby making the sand more fluid.
  • the exactly vertical and parallel design of the delivery chamber 11 and the vertical supply and promotion of sand through the conveyor box avoid directional deflections and geometry changes that can lead to blockages.
  • the conveyor box 12 can be moved vertically until the openings 16 of the conveyor box 12 are no longer over the openings 4 of the side walls 2 of the frame. Subsequently, the conveyor box 12 can be placed inside under compressed air, so that in principle a Schleusenrüttler adjusts with pressure chamber, from which the air can escape only through the lower, open end. This pressurization can be helpful in very soft soils to improve sand erosion.
  • apertures 21 are provided on the side walls 2 and 8 respectively.
  • These diaphragms 21 are on the outside of the earth-facing side of the side walls 2 and 8 in longitudinally extending guides 22 so slidably.
  • the openings 4, 16 in the side walls 2, 8 are closed or kept open by complementary openings 19 in the aperture 21.
  • the shape, size and arrangement of the openings 19 is complementary to the openings 4, 16.
  • the distance in the longitudinal direction between the openings 19 is set such that a closure of the openings 4, 16 is ensured with the spacing between the openings 19 of the aperture 21 ,
  • the diaphragms 21 are movable by a hydraulic cylinder or other drive mechanism.
  • the apertures 21 may also be on the insides, i. the delivery chamber 11 facing sides of the side walls 2 and 8 are arranged. This arrangement would be advantageous in terms of achieving a seal, since the applied pressure presses the diaphragm 21 on the side walls 2 and 8, and so seals.
  • an arrangement with three or more deep vibrators is conceivable, which are connected by a frame and / or side walls. This advantageously has an effect on the size of the delivery pipe or space with regard to the advantages mentioned above.
  • the arrangement with several deep vibrators is limited by the need to be able to lower the unit of deep vibrators, extension components and the conveying space spanning therebetween to depth.
  • the shape of the openings 4, 16, 19 may also be formed by a round, rectangular, or for example oval shape instead of the elongated hexagons described above.
  • the open top portion of the conveyor box may also be e.g. be formed by a closable by lifting mechanism opening.
  • the suspension by yoke and pulley is just one example and can be adapted to the construction equipment used. Furthermore, according to the construction equipment used and the final depth of the sand column to be reached, the extension tubes and according to the delivery space / box can be extended by other modules to any length.
  • a delivery box structurally separate from the extension tubes can also be arranged.
  • This conveyor box has in its corner areas inwardly directed fillets into which the extension tubes can be accurately inserted and are integrally connected by means of a harness around the unit of extension tubes and conveyor box.
  • a vertical vibrator so-called Aufsatzrüttler (not shown), as e.g. is used in a driving of sheet piles, be put on.
  • the vertical vibration supports the penetration of the conveyor box, on the other hand, it improves the flow of sand in the conveyor box 12th
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 a third embodiment is shown.
  • the section along the line BB in Fig. 6 equals to Fig. 2 .
  • the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that no vibrating lances 10 are formed, since the function of the extension tubes 3 is taken over by the conveyor box 12.
  • the conveyor box 12 has a substantially rectangular cross-section (see Fig. 6 ) with round narrow sides 29.
  • the deep vibrators 1 are attached to the underside 12u of the conveyor box 12 and the supply and control lines are guided protected in the conveyor box 12.
  • the conveyor box 12 has, like the conveyor boxes of the first and second embodiments over its length a constant cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, which ends only at its bottom in a plurality of outlet openings 23, 24, instead of an opening with the constant cross section.
  • the conveyor box 12 has a larger volume in comparison and the positive properties of the over the entire length unchanged cross section are retained.
  • the outlet openings 23, 24 may be partially formed laterally directly above the depth vibrator 1.
  • the reservoir container 5 can also be used with the third embodiment.
  • the reservoir tank 5 is advantageous, but not necessary.
  • the material (sand) 13 could also by means of belt conveyors, dump trucks or similar. be heaped up to a material mountain directly on the protruding from the ground conveyor box 12. The material would then independently "flow” through the openings 4 in the conveyor box 12. Alternatively, the material 13 could also be conveyed pneumatically or similarly directly into the openings 4.
