Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the cropping of concrete piles, such as generally known from GB 247 0 364 A and used in the construction of buildings, after they have been cast in order to reveal the internal reinforced steel rods set within the concrete cladding. More specifically, although not exclusively, this invention relates to an improvement in apparatus used in the cropping of concrete clad piles to reveal the said internal reinforcement steel rods set within.
  • One type of foundation commonly used on areas of reclaimed land, is the well-known reinforced concrete pile.
  • Two types of reinforced concrete pile prevail, namely those cast in situ or otherwise, pre-cast.
  • Pre-cast concrete piles are made intentionally to protrude from the ground in which they are positioned to give satisfactory space for levelling to a required level. Levelling is done by cropping the top of the pile to a required height.
  • the concrete piles also contain steel reinforcing rods which need to be exposed in order that further building works can be structurally tied to the foundations. The need for these reinforcing rods mean that any cropping to the concrete needs to avoid severing the pile all the way through. Devices to crop need to fracture the concrete at a localised point and then remove the waste, or facilitate its removal to reveal a section of reinforcing rod.
  • Cropping devices are well known in the industry, such as that disclosed in EP0339261 , a device lowered over the concrete pile to a desired height and whose cutting teeth fracture the concrete.
  • This device and many like it, has hydraulically driven jaws that pivot about a point close to the body of the device. This drives the cutting teeth in a circular motion about said point.
  • the concrete piles to be cropped are of varying thicknesses, heights and tolerances; so any given cropping device ideally need to be able to crop a variety of concrete piles of varying size such as of varying thicknesses. If the pile is thicker than average, the jaws need to be wider whereby pressure is therefore applied in a downwards direction, i.e.
  • a disadvantage of this type of known system is that the pressure from the cutting teeth may be applied at an angle not parallel to the required fracture through the concrete, therefore wasting power.
  • a second disadvantage of this is that the direction of applied hydraulic cutting force may not be parallel to the direction of the cutting teeth throughout the extent of their cutting engagement with the pile; this decreases the life span of the teeth which are consumable items.
  • the method that current cropping devices use to counteract this disadvantage is to lengthen the distance between the centre of rotation and the cutting teeth. The problem with this is that the mechanical force decreases due to the pivot effect created between the pneumatic piston, the centre of rotation and the cutting tooth. The current cropper design therefore makes a compromise between these disadvantages.
  • a pile cropping device comprising a body locatable around and/or in the region of a pile to be cropped, the body having one or more pile cropping teeth adapted, in use, to engage with and disengage from cladding and/or reinforcement of said pile, wherein at the point of engagement between the cropping tooth or teeth and the pile to be cropped, the planar orientation of the tooth or teeth relative to the axis of the pile remaining generally unaffected by variation in the thickness of said reinforcement and/or cladding to be cropped from the pile.
  • Preferred and optional features are to be found amongst the sub claims herewith.
  • the device for cropping concrete pile foundations comprises a body for receiving the exposed top of the concrete pile, means for attachment to lifting apparatus, at least one cutting tooth in a hydraulically powered jaw including a parallel linkage to maintain the position of the tooth generally parallel to a desired plane of fracture in the concrete pile.
  • the device for cropping concrete pile foundations comprises one cutting tooth for which there is provided a surface, oppositely located relative to the tooth to provide a contact point for the tooth to push upon when in operation.
  • the device for cropping concrete pile foundations comprises more than one cutting tooth in which an array of similar teeth and mountings therefor is arranged at even spacing around the body to provide even cutting or cropping power distribution into the concrete pile when in operation.
  • the device for cropping concrete piles comprises, a body, at least one hydraulically actuated jaw rotationally connected to a pivot point on the body, comprising at least one cutting tooth, the jaws of the pile cropping device containing a parallel linkage between a centre of rotation of the jaw, and a cutting tooth.
  • the pivot point on the body, rotationally connected to the jaw is rigidly connected to a second point, independent of the jaw, with the line that joins the two being parallel to a desired cutting plane, these two said points being rotationally connected to the cutting tooth by a central linkage and the jaw, the jaw being rotationally connected to the pivot point and to the front of the cutting tooth and the central linkage being rotationally connected to the said second point and to a point at the back of the cutting tooth.
  • figure 1 is an image of one embodiment of the pile cropper device (1).
  • the figure shows the device from the side and shows the body of the cropper (11) rotationally connected to jaws (12) at a pivot point (15).
  • the jaws comprise of a jaw assembly (12) and cutting teeth (13).
  • the jaws are driven by hydraulic arms (14) and the internal parallel mechanism holds the tip of the teeth parallel to the desired plane of fracture of the concrete pile (not shown) and the rotation point (16) allows the tip to rotate.
  • the jaw assembly comprises outer plates (18) and support elements (17).
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the device in figure 1 and shows the internal mechanism of the parallel linkage.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail view of the jaw assembly (12) and demonstrates one form of preferred parallel linkage.
  • the top link (31) between the pivot point of the jaw (15) and the rotational connection (34) is, in this case, parallel to the plane of the desired fracture of the concrete pile.
  • the tooth (13) is held by the tooth linkage (32) which is held parallel to the top link (31) by the jaw assembly (12) and the rotating link (33).
  • the rotating link (33) between the rotational connection (34) at the top of the linkage and the rotational connection (35) at the bottom of the linkage is rotationally connected to both the top linkage (31) and the tooth linkage (32). This causes the tooth to remain parallel when the jaw actuates.
  • Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the invention, the figure shows the body of the cropper (41) rotationally connected to jaws (42) at a pivot point (45).
  • the jaws comprise of a jaw assembly (42) and cutting teeth (43).
  • the jaws are driven by hydraulic arms (44) and the internal parallel mechanism holds the tip of the teeth parallel to the desired plane of fracture of the concrete pile (not shown),
  • Figure 5 shows the cropping device of figure 4 from a side view. The cropper is in its open position.
  • Figure 6 shows the cropping device of figure 4 from the top. The cropper is in its open position.
  • Figure 7 shows a cross-section of the cropping device of figure 5 and demonstrates the internal parallel mechanism for this embodiment.
  • the jaw assembly (42) contains a similar arrangement of linkages as figure 2 , however, the top linkage (71) connects the pivot point (74) directly to the body of the device.
  • the top linkage (71) positions centre of the pivot point (74) onto the same plane as the centre of the jaw pivot point (45).
  • Figure 8 shows the same cross-section of the apparatus as figure 7 but it is in a closed position and demonstrates the way with which the parallel mechanism causes the tooth to remain parallel.
  • the principal advantage of devices according to this invention result from maintaining the orientation of the tooth relative to the pile to be, or being, cropped generally constant throughout its engagement with the pile, its cladding or its projecting reinforcement as the pile reduces in thickness by removal of a portion of mainly the concrete surround.
  • This advantage follows through in the ability to deal similarly with piles of different thickness.
