Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an excavating head.
  • excavating heads are known designed to work in a descending direction below the level of seas or rivers, or in terrestrial conditions in the presence of water tables.
  • the heads of known type are usually operated in rotation by means of a driving machine, which makes them rotate around a vertical axis gradually as the excavation progresses in depth.
  • heads are in use having a plate- shaped body with an upper face with a plurality of excavation tools arranged staggered with respect to the latter and a side opening crossed by a suction pipe able to aspirate the excavated material.
  • the heads of known type have some drawbacks among which must be included the fact that the suction pipe allows to remove small amounts of excavated material.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to devise an excavating head which allows removing large amounts of excavated material.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise an excavating head which allows increasing the removal speed of the excavated material, considerably reducing working times and increasing the overall productivity of the head itself.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise an excavating head which allows to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art within the ambit of a simple, rational, easy, effective to use and affordable solution.
  • the above mentioned objects are achieved by the present excavating head having the characteristics of claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is an axonometric view of the head according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is an axonometric view from another angle of the head according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a front sectional view of the head according to the invention.
  • reference number 1 globally indicates an excavating head.
  • the head 1, in particular, allows performing wet excavations.
  • wet excavations excavations that take place below the level of seas or rivers, or in terrestrial conditions in the presence of water tables.
  • the head 1 comprises an attachment element 2 to a driving machine to place the head itself in rotation.
  • the attachment element 2 is a flange with bolting holes 3.
  • the flange 2 can be coupled to a corresponding flanged plate 4 equipping the driving machine.
  • the placing in rotation takes place around a main axis 5 of the head 1, which also identifies the direction of excavation 6.
  • the main axis 5 is vertical and the direction of excavation 6 is downwards.
  • the head 1 comprises a plate- shaped body 7 having a first main face 8 and a second main face 9.
  • the plate-shaped body 7 is a substantially circular plate coaxial to the main axis 5.
  • the first main face 8 is facing to the excavation front and the second main face 9 is opposite to the first main face 8 and is connected to the attachment element 2.
  • excavation front is meant the margin defined by the material to be excavated, along the direction of excavation 6.
  • the plate- shaped body 7 is substantially horizontal and the first main face 8 is lower than the second main face 9.
  • the head 1 comprises at least an excavation tool 10 associated with the plate- shaped body 7 so as to protrude at least in part from the first main face 8.
  • the plate-shaped body 7 comprises a plurality of tools 10.
  • the tools 10 have variable shape and size according to the type and dimensions of the excavation.
  • the tools 10 are composed of a substantially cylindrical or frusto-conical body having a sharp or abrasive outer surface.
  • the tools 10 are mounted idle on the plate- shaped body 7.
  • each tool 10 is associated with the plate- shaped body 7 by means of axial pins 11 separate and parallel to each other which allow its free rotation around a central axis of symmetry of the tool 10.
  • the tools 10 are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the main axis 5 and have axes of rotation with different inclinations according to their position on the plate- shaped body 7.
  • the tools 10 arranged in the proximity of the main axis 5 have the axis of rotation substantially coplanar to the first main face 8, whereas the tools 10 arranged peripherally to the plate- shaped body 7 have the axis of rotation inclined with respect the first main face 8, i.e. arranged neither vertically nor horizontally.
  • the tools 10 define an excavation plane 12 tangent to the tools themselves.
  • the excavation plane 12 in practice, consists in an imaginary plane which, in the operative configuration of the head 1, is substantially horizontal and tangent to the lower part of each tool 10.
  • the head 1 comprises suction means 13 of the excavated material associated with the plate- shaped body 7.
  • the suction means 13 comprise a plurality of through openings 14, 15 and crossing the plate-shaped body 7 between the first main face 8 and the second main face 9.
  • the tools 10 are at least partially housed within at least one of the through openings 14, 15.
  • each tool 10 is at least partially housed within one and only one corresponding through opening 14, 15 and emerges (i.e. protrudes) from the first main face 8 for at least one-twentieth of its volume.
  • the axial pins 11 of the tools 10 are arranged inside the through openings 14, 15 and the material excavated by the tools 10 is able to cross the plate-shaped body 7, passing in the space defined between the tools 10 and the inner walls of the through openings 14, 15.
  • the through openings 14, 15 comprise a plurality of first through openings 14, accommodating at least partially the tools 10, and at least a second through opening 15, clear of the tools 10.
  • the second through opening 15 has a projecting edge 16 protruding from the first main face 8.
  • the projecting edge 16 extends from the first main face 8 to a distance very close to the excavation plane 12. It is easy to understand how the presence of the projecting edge 16 allows to aspirate the excavated material through the second through opening 15, going to withdraw directly in the proximity of the excavation front, and, therefore, to increase the flow rate of the material excavated at inlet, thus obtaining greater excavation speed.
  • the suction means 13 also comprise a hood-shaped element 17 having a suction mouth 18 adjacent to the second main face 9 and surrounding the through openings 14, 15.
  • the hood-shaped element 17 has a substantially frusto-conical shape wherein the suction mouth 18 defines the larger base of the truncated cone and is substantially circular.
  • the suction mouth 18 has a diameter more or less equal to the diameter of the plate-shaped body 7 and, therefore, surrounds and covers all through openings 14, 15 formed on the plate- shaped body itself.
  • the hood-shaped element 17 also comprises an outlet section 19 of the excavated material having a smaller surface extension than the suction mouth 18.
  • the suction mouth 18 is also circular and defines the smaller base of the truncated cone.
  • the hood- shaped element 17, the suction mouth 18 and the outlet section 19 are coaxial to the main axis 5.
  • suction means 13 comprise a suction tubular length 20 of the excavated material associated with the outlet section 19.
  • the suction tubular length 20 is associated on the top with the suction mouth 18.
  • the suction tubular length 20 of the head 1 is in fluid connection with a conveying tube 21 equipping the driving machine.
  • the conveying tube 21 is associated with the flanged plate 4 and permits to send the material from depth to the surface.
  • the suction means 13 comprise at least an air forced introduction pipe 22 in the suction tubular length 20 able to generate a suction force of the excavated material.
  • the suction means 13 comprise a plurality of air forced introduction pipes 22 arranged around the suction tubular length 20.
  • the forced introduction pipes 22 communicate on the top, i.e. at inlet, with blowing tubes 23 equipping the driving machine and on the bottom, i.e. at output, with the suction tubular length 20.
  • the pressurized air is introduced inside the suction tubular length 20, thus creating a differential pressure which causes the excavated material to lift inside the suction tubular length itself, this phenomenon being known to the person skilled in the art as reverse circulation (RCD).
  • RCD reverse circulation
  • the plate- shaped body 7 has a lateral perimeter of circular shape from which extends a shell 24 of substantially cylindrical shape, able to laterally protect the hood- shaped element 17.
  • the head 1 comprises control means 25 of the inclination of the plate- shaped body 7.
  • Said control means 25 are able to allow the control of the inclination of the plate- shaped body 7, during the excavation operations.
  • control means 25 comprise an oscillometer accommodated in the space between the hood-shaped element 17 and the shell 24.
  • the head 1 can comprise other monitoring devices of the excavation conditions, such as e.g. a thermometer, a hygrometer, or the like.
  • the head 1 is made to rotate by the operation of the driving machine.
  • the tools 10 are operated in rotation by means of the pressure of the head 1 against the excavation front.
  • the excavated material passes through the through openings 14, 15 and is suctioned by the hood- shaped element 17 along the suction tubular length 20, and then is made to exit through the conveying tube 21.
