Weiterhin ist es bekannt, Gestein mit Hilfe von Baggeranbaufräsen abzubauen. In der EP 2 324 158 B1 ist eine derartige Baggeranbaufräse beschrieben.It is also known to mine rock with the help of excavator cultivators. In the EP 2 324 158 B1 Such an excavator cultivator is described.

Die bekannten Methoden zum Abbruch von Gestein haben verschiedene Vor- und Nachteile. So ist das Sprengen derzeit zwar die effektivste Methode, wird jedoch aufgrund seiner Gefährlichkeit und der starken Vibrationsbelastungen der Umwelt immer weiter eingeschränkt. In den Fällen, in denen Sprengen oder Bohren nicht erlaubt oder möglich ist, erfolgt der Abbruch derzeit zumeist mittels Hydraulikhammer. Hydraulikhammer ermöglichen einen Abbruch mit geringeren Umweltbelastungen, sind aber bei weitem nicht so effektiv wie das Sprengen oder die Bohr-Spalt-Technik. Beim Sprengen oder beim Abbruch mit Hydraulikhammer entstehen unkontrolliert große Bruchstücke. Die Bruchstücke müssen in der Regel nachzerkleinert werden, um sie anschließend einem Brecher zuführen zu können. Die Produktionsleistung von Baggeranbaufräsen hängt wesentlich von der einachsigen Druckfestigkeit des zu bearbeitenden Gesteines ab. Der Abbruch mit Baggeranbaufräsen ist nur bis zu einer einachsigen Druckfestigkeit des Gesteins von 60 MPa wirtschaftlich und sinnvoll. Baggeranbaufräsen werden daher überwiegend zum Abbau von weichem und mittelhartem Gestein, wie beispielsweise Kalkstein oder Gips, eingesetzt.The known rock demolition methods have various advantages and disadvantages. Blasting is currently the most effective method, but is becoming increasingly restricted due to its dangerous nature and the high levels of vibration in the environment. In cases where blasting or drilling is not permitted or possible, the demolition is currently usually carried out using a hydraulic hammer. Hydraulic hammers allow demolition with less environmental pollution, but are far from being as effective as blasting or drilling-gap technology. When blasting or demolition with a hydraulic hammer, large fragments are created in an uncontrolled manner. The fragments usually have to be shredded so that they can then be fed to a crusher. The production performance of excavator attachment cutters essentially depends on the uniaxial compressive strength of the rock to be processed. Demolition with excavator attachments is only economical and sensible up to a uniaxial compressive strength of the rock of 60 MPa. Excavator cultivators are therefore mainly used to mine soft and medium-hard rock, such as limestone or gypsum.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, ein Abbruchwerkzeug und ein Verfahren zum Abbruch von Gestein zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches einen effektiveren Abbruch von Gestein ermöglicht und gleichzeitig erschütterungsarm arbeitet. Ein Durchrutschen des Abbruchwerkzeuges während des Brechens sollte wirksam vermieden werden. Die Stückgröße der abgebrochenen Bruchstücke soll kontrollierbar sein, um sie insbesondere an die Größe eines Brechers anpassen zu können. Die Abbruchstelle soll dennoch möglichst ohne weitere Nachbearbeitung eine weitgehend ebene Oberfläche aufweisen.The object of the present invention is therefore a demolition tool and a method for demolishing rock to make available, which enables a more effective rock demolition and at the same time works with low vibration. Slipping of the demolition tool during breaking should be avoided effectively. The piece size of the broken fragments should be controllable in order to be able to adapt them in particular to the size of a crusher. The demolition point should nevertheless have a largely flat surface, if possible without further finishing.

Zur Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe dienen ein Abbruchwerkzeug gemäß dem beigefügten Anspruch 1 sowie ein Verfahren gemäß dem beigefügten nebengeordneten Anspruch 13.A demolition tool according to the attached claim 1 and a method according to the attached independent claim 13 serve to achieve the object according to the invention.

Das erfindungsgemäße Abbruchwerkzeug dient zum Abbruch von Gestein. In das Gestein sind hierzu mehrere Schlitze eingearbeitet, zwischen denen abzubrechendes Material stehen bleibt. Vorzugsweise sind zwei oder mehr im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufende Schlitze einer vorbestimmten Tiefe und eines vorbestimmten Abstandes zueinander eingebracht. Die Schlitze können aber auch winklig zueinander verlaufen, wenn dies an der Abbruchstelle vorteilhaft ist. Das Abbruchwerkzeug ist in jeweils einen der Schlitze einführbar, um durch Aufbau von im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Schlitzebenen wirkenden Querkräften das Gestein zwischen den Schlitzen zu brechen. Das Abbruchwerkzeug besitzt einen Grundkörper mit einem ersten freien Endbereich und einem gegenüberliegenden zweiten Endbereich. Der zweite Endbereich ist zum Ausüben einer Druckkraft auf einen zweiten Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes ausgebildet. Der zweite Wandabschnitt erstreckt sich von einem dem Boden gegenüberliegenden Anfang des Schlitzes. Der Grundkörper ist an seinem zweiten Endbereich mit einer Anbaukonsole zum Anbau des Abbruchwerkzeuges an einen beweglichen Trägerarm einer Baumaschine, insbesondere eines Baggers, fest verbunden. Das Abbruchwerkzeug kann vorzugweise an dieselbe Baumaschine angebaut werden, an welche auch ein zum Fräsen der Schlitze verwendetes Schneidrad angebaut werden kann, im Austausch mit diesem. Für eine schnelle und aufwandsarme Umrüstung zwischen Schneidrad und erfindungsgemäßem Abbruchwerkzeug ist die Baumaschine vorzugsweise mit einer automatischen Schnellwechseleinrichtung ausgerüstet. Der Trägerarm der Baumaschine bzw. des Baggers bringt die erforderlichen Kräfte auf, um das Abbruchwerkzeug in die gewünschte Position zu bewegen und es in die Schlitze im Gestein hinein zu bewegen.The demolition tool according to the invention serves to demolish rock. For this purpose, several slots are worked into the rock, between which material to be broken off remains. Preferably two or more slots of a predetermined depth and a predetermined distance from one another are introduced which run essentially parallel to one another. The slots can also run at an angle to one another if this is advantageous at the point of demolition. The demolition tool can be inserted into one of the slots in order to break the rock between the slots by building up transverse forces acting essentially perpendicular to the slot planes. The demolition tool has a base body with a first free end area and an opposite second end area. The second end region is designed to exert a compressive force on a second wall section of the slot. The second wall section extends from an beginning of the slot opposite the floor. The base body is fixedly connected at its second end region to a mounting bracket for mounting the demolition tool on a movable support arm of a construction machine, in particular an excavator. The Demolition tools can preferably be attached to the same construction machine to which a cutting wheel used to mill the slots can also be attached, in exchange for this. The construction machine is preferably equipped with an automatic quick-change device for quick and effortless conversion between the cutting wheel and the demolition tool according to the invention. The support arm of the construction machine or excavator exerts the necessary forces to move the demolition tool into the desired position and to move it into the slots in the rock.

An dem ersten Endbereich des Grundkörpers ist mindestens ein Ritzwerkzeug angeordnet, welches zum Einbringen eines parallel zu dem Boden des Schlitzes verlaufenden Ritzes in den ersten, tiefer liegenden Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes dient. Der eingebrachte Ritz erstreckt sich nur über eine definierte Tiefe in den Wandabschnitt hinein, vorzugsweise weniger als die Hälfte der Dicke des Wandabschnitts. Der Ritz durchschneidet somit das Gestein nicht vollständig, sodass der Wandabschnitt zunächst stehen bleibt. Es erfolgt kein Durchtrennen des Gesteins im Bereich des ersten Wandabschnitts bis in die benachbarten Schlitze hinein. Dies erspart Schneidleistung und ermöglicht das gezielte Abbrechen des Materials zum gewünschten Zeitpunkt. Über den zweiten Endbereich wird auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes eine Druckkraft ausgeübt, die dann das Abbrechen des Materials im Bereich des Ritzes bewirkt.At least one scribing tool is arranged on the first end region of the base body and is used to introduce a scribe running parallel to the bottom of the slot into the first, lower-lying wall section of the slot. The incision extends only over a defined depth into the wall section, preferably less than half the thickness of the wall section. The scratch does not cut through the rock completely, so that the wall section initially remains. There is no cutting through of the rock in the area of the first wall section into the adjacent slots. This saves cutting performance and enables the targeted breaking off of the material at the desired time. A compressive force is exerted on the second wall section of the slot via the second end area, which then causes the material to break off in the area of the scratch.

Das erfindungsgemäße Abbruchwerkzeug besitzt im Vergleich zu den vorbekannten Abbruchwerkzeugen mehrere Vorteile. So können mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Abbruchwerkzeug größere Mengen Gestein effizient gebrochen werden. Außerdem erfolgt der Abbruch erschütterungsarm. Dies ist ein wesentlicher Vorteil im Vergleich zum Sprengen. Durch den mittels Ritzwerkzeug erzeugten Ritz wird eine Sollbruchstelle geschaffen, welche ein kontrolliertes Brechen des Gesteins gewährleistet. Am Boden des Schlitzes entsteht eine relativ glatte Bruchfläche.The demolition tool according to the invention has several advantages compared to the previously known demolition tools. In this way, large amounts of rock can be efficiently broken with the demolition tool according to the invention. In addition, the demolition takes place with little vibration. This is an essential advantage compared to blowing up. A scratch is created by the scratch generated by the scratching tool, which ensures a controlled breaking of the rock. A relatively smooth fracture surface is created at the bottom of the slot.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst das Abbruchwerkzeug mehrere Ritzwerkzeuge. Mehrere Ritzwerkzeuge ermöglichen eine schnelle und gleichmäßige Ritzerzeugung.According to an advantageous embodiment, the demolition tool comprises several scoring tools. Several scribing tools enable quick and even scribing.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform verwendet ein Abbruchwerkzeug mit einem zylinderförmigen Grundkörper, welcher jeweils eine elliptische Querschnittserweiterung in dem ersten und dem zweiten Endbereich aufweist. Zwei einander gegenüberliegende erste Querschnittsbereiche der elliptischen Querschnittserweiterung besitzen einen größeren Durchmesser als zwei einander gegenüberliegende zweite Querschnittsbereiche der elliptischen Querschnittserweiterung. Das in dem ersten Endbereich angeordnete mindestens eine Ritzwerkzeug ist an einem der ersten Querschnittsbereiche angeordnet.An advantageous embodiment uses a demolition tool with a cylindrical base body, each of which has an elliptical cross-sectional expansion in the first and the second end region. Two opposite first cross-sectional areas of the elliptical cross-sectional extension have a larger diameter than two opposite second cross-sectional areas of the elliptical cross-sectional expansion. The at least one scoring tool arranged in the first end region is arranged on one of the first cross-sectional regions.

Eine bevorzugte weitergebildete Ausführungsform nutzt mehrere Ritzwerkzeuge in jedem der beiden ersten Querschnittsbereiche. Der Durchmesser der zweiten Querschnittsbereiche entspricht in etwa der Breite der Schlitze, wobei der Durchmesser geringfügig kleiner zu wählen ist, um das Abbruchwerkzeug in den Schlitz einführen zu können. Das Abbruchwerkzeug kann entweder von oben oder seitlich in den Schlitz eingebracht werden. Das in den Schlitz eingebrachte Abbruchwerkzeug wird nachfolgend gedreht, wobei das mindestens eine Ritzwerkzeug in Kontakt mit dem ersten Wandabschnitt kommt und den Ritz erzeugt. Gleichzeitig wird durch den zweiten Endbereich auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt eine Druckkraft ausgeübt, um das Material zwischen den Schlitzen zu brechen. Diese Ausführungsform des Abbruchwerkzeuges eignet sich insbesondere für kompaktes und hartes Gestein.A preferred further developed embodiment uses several scoring tools in each of the first two cross-sectional areas. The diameter of the second cross-sectional areas corresponds approximately to the width of the slots, the diameter being selected to be slightly smaller in order to be able to insert the demolition tool into the slot. The demolition tool can be inserted into the slot either from above or from the side. The demolition tool inserted into the slot is subsequently rotated, the at least one scoring tool coming into contact with the first wall section and producing the scoring. At the same time, a pressure force is exerted on the second wall section through the second end region in order to break the material between the slots. This embodiment of the demolition tool is particularly suitable for compact and hard rock.

Das Abbruchwerkzeug weist gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform einen Grundkörper mit einer konvex gekrümmten Längsseite auf. Der Grundkörper besitzt einen von dem ersten Endbereich zu dem zweiten Endbereich zunehmenden Querschnitt, d. h. die Breite des Abbruchwerkzeuges nimmt ausgehend von einer Spitze am ersten Ende in Richtung zu dem gegenüberliegenden Ende hin zu. Die der konvexen Längsseite gegenüberliegende Seite ist bevorzugt konkav gekrümmt, kann aber auch im Wesentlichen gerade ausgebildet sein. Der erste Endbereich des Grundkörpers ist vorzugsweise mit mehreren Ritzwerkzeugen ausgestattet, die sich bevorzugt als Verlängerung des ersten Endbereichs von dem ersten Endbereich erstrecken. Der erste Endbereich des Abbruchwerkzeuges besitzt eine geringfügig größere Breite als der Schlitz. Das derart ausgeführte Abbruchwerkzeug wird seitlich mit seinem ersten Endbereich in den Schlitz eingebracht und linear durch den Schlitz bewegt. Hierbei kommen die Ritzwerkzeuge mit dem ersten Wandabschnitt in Kontakt und erzeugen den Ritz. Gleichzeit wird das Gestein zwischen den Schlitzen durch die von dem zweiten Wandabschnitt ausgeübte Druckkraft gebrochen. Diese Druckkraft wirkt aufgrund des in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers zunehmenden Querschnitts des Grundkörpers. Diese Ausführungsform kann bevorzugt in mittelhartem oder zerklüftetem Material eingesetzt werden.According to an alternative embodiment, the demolition tool has a base body with a convexly curved longitudinal side. The base body has a cross section increasing from the first end region to the second end region, i. H. the width of the demolition tool increases from a tip at the first end towards the opposite end. The side opposite the convex long side is preferably concavely curved, but can also be essentially straight. The first end region of the base body is preferably equipped with a plurality of scribing tools, which preferably extend from the first end region as an extension of the first end region. The first end region of the demolition tool has a slightly larger width than the slot. The demolition tool designed in this way is inserted laterally into the slot with its first end region and moved linearly through the slot. The scoring tools come into contact with the first wall section and produce the scoring. At the same time, the rock between the slots is broken by the compressive force exerted by the second wall section. This pressure force acts due to the increasing cross section of the base body in the longitudinal direction of the base body. This embodiment can preferably be used in medium-hard or fissured material.

Gemäß einer weitergebildeten Ausführungsform weist der zweite Endbereich, der näher an der Anbaukonsole liegt als der erste Endbereich, ein Brechwerkzeug zum Ausüben einer Druckkraft auf den zweiten, weniger tief liegenden Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes auf. Die aufgrund des in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers zunehmenden Querschnitts des Grundkörpers auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt wirkende Druckkraft wird durch das in dem zweiten Endbereich des Grundkörpers angeordnete Brechwerkzeug verstärkt. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, dass ein Durchrutschen des Abbruchwerkzeuges durch den Schlitz durch den sich in Längsrichtung erweiternden Querschnitt des Grundkörpers und durch die mittels Brechwerkzeug ausgeübte Drucckraft wirksam verhindert werden kann.According to a further developed embodiment, the second end area, which is closer to the mounting bracket than the first end area, has a breaking tool for exerting a compressive force on the second, less deep wall section of the slot. The due to the in the longitudinal direction of the base body increasing cross-section of the base body on the second wall section compressive force is reinforced by the crushing tool arranged in the second end region of the base body. This embodiment has the advantage that the demolition tool can effectively be prevented from slipping through the slot by the cross-section of the base body which widens in the longitudinal direction and by the pressure force exerted by means of the breaking tool.

Für das Brechwerkzeug stehen verschiedene Realisierungsvarianten zur Verfügung. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform nutzt ein als Brechkeil ausgebildetes Brechwerkzeug. Der Brechkeil ist abschnittsweise breiter als der Grundkörper ausgebildet. Es hat sich als günstig erwiesen, die breite Seite des Brechkeils etwa 30% bis 40% breiter als den Grundkörper auszuführen, wobei keine Einschränkung auf den genannten Wertebereich erfolgen soll, breitere oder schmalere Brechkeile sind durchaus möglich. Der Brechkeil ist vorzugsweise durch die Baumaschine hydraulisch antreibbar, beispielsweise durch einen Löffelzylinder des Baggers. Die mittels Brechkeil ausgeübte Druckkraft wirkt zusätzlich zu der durch den Grundkörper erzeugten Druckkraft und stellt sicher, dass das Gestein gebrochen und von einer Abbauwand komplett gelöst wird. Der Brechkeil ist an seinem Außenumfang vorzugsweise mit mehreren Platten ausgestattet, welche zur Versteifung dienen und als Verschleißteile bevorzugt auswechselbar sind. Ausführungen mit vier Platten, welche sich beidseitig von der Brechkeilspitze in Richtung des Grundkörpers erstrecken, haben sich als günstig erwiesen.Various implementations are available for the crushing tool. A preferred embodiment uses a breaking tool designed as a breaking wedge. The breaking wedge is partially wider than the base body. It has proven to be expedient to make the broad side of the crushing wedge about 30% to 40% wider than the base body, with no restriction to the range of values mentioned, wider or narrower crushing wedges are quite possible. The crushing wedge can preferably be driven hydraulically by the construction machine, for example by a bucket cylinder of the excavator. The pressure force exerted by means of a crushing wedge acts in addition to the pressure force generated by the base body and ensures that the rock is broken and completely removed from a quarrying wall. The crushing wedge is preferably equipped on its outer circumference with a plurality of plates which serve for stiffening and are preferably replaceable as wearing parts. Versions with four plates, which extend on both sides from the breaking wedge tip in the direction of the base body, have proven to be favorable.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform nutzt ein als Hydraulikhammer ausgebildetes Brechwerkzeug. Der Hydraulikhammer umfasst ein Schlagwerk und einen Brechmeißel, welcher sich vorzugsweise senkrecht zu der Längsachse des Abbruchwerkzeuges erstreckt. Mit Hilfe des Schlagwerkes wird der Brechmeißel in das Gestein getrieben, erzeugt eine Kerbe und löst dieses aus dem Verbund.An alternative embodiment uses a breaking tool designed as a hydraulic hammer. The hydraulic hammer comprises an impact mechanism and a chisel, which is preferably extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the demolition tool. The chisel is driven into the rock with the help of the striking mechanism, creates a notch and removes it from the bond.

Das Brechwerkzeug kann gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ein Exzenter-Schlagwerk sein. Exzenter-Schlagwerk und Hydraulikhammer kommen vorzugsweise bei einer einachsigen Druckfestigkeit des zu brechenden Gesteins größer 60 MPa zum Einsatz. Bei einer geringeren einachsigen Druckfestigkeit wird bevorzugt der Brechkeil verwendet. Brechkeil, Hydraulikhammer und Exzenter-Schlagwerk sind bevorzugt lösbar mit dem Grundkörper verbunden und kommen je nach Gesteinsart zum Einsatz.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the breaking tool can be an eccentric hammer mechanism. Eccentric striking mechanism and hydraulic hammer are preferably used when the rock to be crushed has a uniaxial compressive strength greater than 60 MPa. With a lower uniaxial compressive strength, the crushing wedge is preferably used. The crushing wedge, hydraulic hammer and eccentric hammer mechanism are preferably detachably connected to the base body and are used depending on the type of rock.

Der Grundkörper des Abbruchwerkzeuges kann mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Der das mindestens eine Ritzwerkzeug tragende erste Endbereich ist vorzugsweise als separates Bauteil ausgeführt, welches bevorzugt lösbar mit dem Grundkörper verbunden ist. Bei Verschleiß des Ritzwerkzeuges kann aufwandsarm ein Austausch des das Ritzwerkzeug tragenden Bauteils erfolgen. Der Grundkörper kann weiterhin mehrere an seinem Außenumfang angeordnete Platten umfassen, die zur Versteifung des Grundkörpers dienen und somit dessen Stabilität verbessern. Diese Platten sind bevorzugt als Verschleißteile auswechselbar gestaltet. Bei den Ausführungsformen, welche einen Grundkörper mit konvex gekrümmter Längsseite nutzen, besitzt der Grundkörper vorzugsweise mehrere in Längsrichtung konvex gekrümmte Platten, welche fest miteinander verbunden sind.The base body of the demolition tool can be constructed in several parts. The first end region carrying the at least one scoring tool is preferably designed as a separate component which is preferably detachably connected to the base body. If the scoring tool is worn out, the component carrying the scoring tool can be replaced with little effort. The base body can further comprise a plurality of plates arranged on its outer circumference, which serve to stiffen the base body and thus improve its stability. These plates are preferably designed as replaceable wear parts. In the embodiments which use a base body with a convexly curved longitudinal side, the base body preferably has a plurality of plates which are convexly curved in the longitudinal direction and are firmly connected to one another.

Bei den Ausführungsformen mit Brechwerkzeug hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, den Grundkörper mit einer in dem zweiten Endbereich angeordneten Grundplatte auszustatten. An der Grundplatte ist das Brechwerkzeug vorzugsweise lösbar befestigt. Brechwerkzeug und Grundplatte können auch fest miteinander verbunden sein und als Baueinheit lösbar mit dem Grundkörper verbunden sein.In the embodiments with a crushing tool, it has proven to be advantageous to equip the base body with a base plate arranged in the second end region. The breaking tool is preferably releasably attached to the base plate. Breaking tool and base plate can also be firmly connected to one another and releasably connected to the base body as a structural unit.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Abbruch von Gestein umfasst die nachfolgend beschriebenen Schritte. Zunächst werden mindestens zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Schlitze in das Gestein gefräst. Die Schlitze können sowohl horizontal als auch vertikal in das Gestein eingebracht werden. Sie haben eine vorbestimmte Tiefe, eine vorbestimmte Breite und einen vorbestimmten Abstand zueinander. Die jeweils zu wählende Tiefe und Breite der Schlitze sowie der jeweilige Abstand der Schlitze zueinander sind abhängig von der Beschaffenheit des zu brechenden Materials. Einflussgrößen sind hierbei die Gesteinshärte und die Gesteinsstruktur des zu brechenden Materials. Außerdem beeinflussen Tiefe, Breite und Abstand die Korngröße des Endproduktes. Die Parameter der Schlitze sind weiterhin abhängig von der Dimensionierung des im nachfolgenden Verfahrensschritt genutzten Abbruchwerkzeuges. So sollte die Tiefe der Schlitze bevorzugt der Länge, d. h. Eindringtiefe des Abbruchwerkzeuges entsprechen. Ebenso ist die Breite der Schlitze an die Breite des Abbruchwerkzeuges anzupassen. Das Einbringen der Schlitze erfolgt bevorzugt mit Hilfe eines mit geeigneten Fräswerkzeugen bestückten Schneidrades. Zum Fräsen von Gestein eignen sich zum Beispiel mit Hartmetallwerkzeugen ausgestattete Schneidräder. Die Hartmetallwerkzeuge können als Rundschaftmeißel ausgebildet sein. Das Schneidrad wird vorzugsweise hydraulisch oder mittels der Antriebswelle eines Baufahrzeuges, beispielsweise einer Traktorwelle angetrieben. Als günstig haben sich als Anbaugerät ausgeführte Schneidräder erwiesen, welche sich zum Anbau an einen beweglichen Trägerarm einer Baumaschine, wie beispielsweise einen Bagger, Baggerlader oder Traktor, eignen. Durch den mittels Schlitzen geschaffenen Freiraum wird das Gestein entspannt und kann nachfolgend effizient gebrochen werden.The method according to the invention for rock demolition comprises the steps described below. First, at least two slots that run parallel to each other are milled into the rock. The slots can be made both horizontally and vertically in the rock. They have a predetermined depth, a predetermined width and a predetermined distance from one another. The depth and width of the slots to be selected and the respective distance between the slots depend on the nature of the material to be broken. Influencing factors here are the rock hardness and the rock structure of the material to be crushed. In addition, depth, width and distance influence the grain size of the end product. The parameters of the slots are also dependent on the dimensioning of the demolition tool used in the subsequent process step. The depth of the slots should preferably correspond to the length, ie the depth of penetration of the demolition tool. The width of the slots must also be adapted to the width of the demolition tool. The slots are preferably introduced with the aid of a cutting wheel equipped with suitable milling tools. For example, cutting wheels equipped with hard metal tools are suitable for milling rock. The hard metal tools can be designed as round shank chisels. The cutting wheel is preferably driven hydraulically or by means of the drive shaft of a construction vehicle, for example a tractor shaft. Cutting wheels designed as attachments have proven to be cheap, which are suitable for mounting on a movable support arm of a construction machine, such as an excavator, backhoe loader or tractor. By means of The rock is relieved of space and can then be broken efficiently.

Nach Einbringen der Schlitze wird in einem ersten Wandabschnitt eines der Schlitze mit Hilfe des Ritzwerkzeuges ein parallel zu einem Boden des Schlitzes verlaufender Ritz erzeugt. Hierbei ist sicherzustellen, dass sich der Schlitz, in welchem der Ritz erzeugt wird, mindestens benachbart zu einem weiteren Schlitz, vorzugsweise zwischen zwei der anderen Schlitze befindet, da verfahrensgemäß das Material zwischen zwei Schlitzen gebrochen werden soll. Der erzeugte Ritz erstreckt sich nur bis zu einer definierten Tiefe in das Gesteinsmaterial und durchtrennt den Wandabschnitt nicht. Während der Ritzerzeugung oder unmittelbar danach wird gleichzeitig das zwischen den Schlitzen befindliche Material gebrochen. Dies erfolgt durch Ausüben einer Druckkraft auf einen zweiten Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes. Der zweite Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes erstreckt sich von einem dem Boden gegenüberliegenden Anfang des Schlitzes. Die Druckkraft wird durch den Grundkörper erzeugt. Bei den Ausführungen mit Brechwerkzeug wird die auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt wirkende Druckkraft zusätzlich durch das an dem Grundkörper angeordnete Brechwerkzeug verstärkt.After the slits have been made, a slit running parallel to a bottom of the slit is produced in a first wall section of one of the slits with the aid of the scribing tool. It must be ensured here that the slot in which the scratch is produced is located at least adjacent to another slot, preferably between two of the other slots, since the material is to be broken between two slots according to the method. The scratch created only extends to a defined depth in the rock material and does not cut through the wall section. During the generation of the scratch or immediately afterwards, the material located between the slots is broken at the same time. This is done by exerting a compressive force on a second wall section of the slot. The second wall portion of the slot extends from a bottom of the slot opposite the bottom. The pressure force is generated by the base body. In the designs with a breaking tool, the compressive force acting on the second wall section is additionally increased by the breaking tool arranged on the base body.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hat unter anderem den Vorteil, dass die Stückgröße des abgebrochenen Gesteins an die Dimensionierung eines nachfolgend zur Zerkleinerung genutzten Brechers angepasst werden kann. Hierfür werden Tiefe bzw. Breite der Schlitze bzw. der Abstand der Schlitze zueinander entsprechend variiert. Der Abbruch mittels Hydraulikhammer als auch mittels Sprengen liefert hingegen unkontrolliert große Bruchstücke, die zumeist nachzerkleinert werden müssen, um sie dem Brecher zuführen zu können. Beim Abbruch von bewehrtem Beton können im Beton vorhandene Bewehrungseisen mit Hilfe des zur Erzeugung der Schlitze dienenden Werkzeugs durchtrennt werden.The method according to the invention has the advantage, among other things, that the piece size of the broken rock can be adapted to the dimensions of a crusher subsequently used for comminution. For this purpose, the depth or width of the slots or the spacing of the slots from one another are varied accordingly. On the other hand, demolition using a hydraulic hammer or blasting delivers uncontrolled large fragments, which usually have to be shredded in order to be able to feed them to the crusher. When demolition of reinforced Concrete reinforcement bars present in the concrete can be cut using the tool used to create the slots.

Das Verfahren wurde erfolgreich mit Schlitztiefen von 500 mm bis 1000 mm getestet. Es soll jedoch keine Einschränkung auf die genannten Schlitztiefen erfolgen. Andere Schlitztiefen sind durchaus möglich.The process has been successfully tested with slot depths from 500 mm to 1000 mm. However, there should be no restriction to the slot depths mentioned. Other slot depths are quite possible.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Teildarstellung einer ersten Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Abbruchwerkzeuges 01. Das erfindungsgemäße Abbruchwerkzeug 01 umfasst einen zylinderförmigen Grundkörper 02. Der Grundkörper 02 weist an einem ersten und an einem zweiten Endbereich 03, 04 jeweils eine im Wesentlichen elliptische Querschnittserweiterung auf, d. h. eine Querschnittserweiterung, die den Querschnitt des Endbereichs nicht rotationssymmetrisch erweitert. Zwei einander gegenüberliegende erste Querschnittsbereiche der elliptischen Querschnittserweiterung besitzen einen größeren Durchmesser als zwei einander gegenüberliegende zweite Querschnittsbereiche der elliptischen Querschnittserweiterung. An den ersten Querschnittsbereichen sind jeweils drei Ritzwerkzeuge 05 angeordnet. Bei abgewandelten Ausführungsformen können auch mehr als drei oder weniger als drei Ritzwerkzeuge 05 Verwendung finden. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass nur einer der beiden ersten Querschnittsbereiche mit Ritzwerkzeugen 05 ausgestattet ist. Mit dem zweiten Endbereich 04 des Grundkörpers 02 ist eine Anbaukonsole 07 fest verbunden, welche zur Befestigung des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 an einem beweglichen Trägerarm einer Baumaschine dient. Fig. 1 shows a partial perspective view of a first embodiment of a demolition tool 01 according to the invention. The demolition tool 01 according to the invention comprises a cylindrical base body 02 does not expand the cross section of the end region in a rotationally symmetrical manner. Two opposite first cross-sectional areas of the elliptical cross-sectional expansion have a larger diameter than two opposite second cross-sectional areas of the elliptical cross-sectional expansion. At first In cross-sectional areas, three scribing tools 05 are arranged. In modified embodiments, more than three or fewer than three scribing tools 05 can also be used. There is also the possibility that only one of the first two cross-sectional areas is equipped with scribing tools 05. An attachment bracket 07 is fixedly connected to the second end region 04 of the base body 02 and is used to fasten the demolition tool 01 to a movable support arm of a construction machine.

Nachfolgend soll anhand der Figuren 2 bis 6 das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Abbruch von Gestein näher erläutert werden. Im ersten Verfahrensschritt werden mindestens zwei, bevorzugt drei parallel zueinander verlaufende Schlitze 08 in das Gestein 09 gefräst. In Fig. 2 ist das Fräsen eines der Schlitze 08 dargestellt. Der Schlitz 08 wird mit Hilfe eines bekannten Schneidrades 10 eingebracht. Das Schneidrad 10 ist als Anbaugerät für eine Baumaschine 12 ausgebildet. Zwischen Baumaschine 12 und Schneidrad 10 besteht eine feste, lösbare Verbindung. Das Schneidrad 10 ist mit zahlreichen Fräswerkzeugen 13 ausgestattet, welche in der gezeigten Ausführung als Rundschaftmeißel ausgebildet sind. Die Baumaschine 12 kann ein Bagger, Baggerlader oder Traktor sein. Das Schneidrad 10 wird durch die Baumaschine hydraulisch oder mit Hilfe einer Arbeitswelle angetrieben. In das Gestein 09 werden verfahrensgemäß mindestens zwei, bevorzugt drei gleich dimensionierte Schlitze 08 eingebracht.In the following, the Figures 2 to 6 the method according to the invention for rock demolition will be explained in more detail. In the first method step, at least two, preferably three slots 08 running parallel to one another are milled into the rock 09. In Fig. 2 the milling of one of the slots 08 is shown. The slot 08 is introduced using a known cutting wheel 10. The cutting wheel 10 is designed as an attachment for a construction machine 12. There is a firm, detachable connection between construction machine 12 and cutting wheel 10. The cutting wheel 10 is equipped with numerous milling tools 13, which in the embodiment shown are designed as round shank chisels. Construction machine 12 may be an excavator, backhoe loader, or tractor. The cutting wheel 10 is driven hydraulically by the construction machine or with the aid of a working shaft. According to the method, at least two, preferably three slots 08 of identical dimensions are made in the rock 09.

Nach Einbringen der Schlitze 08 wird das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 bevorzugt in den mittleren der drei Schlitze 08 eingeführt. Fig. 3 zeigt das innerhalb des Schlitzes 08 angeordnete Abbruchwerkzeug 01. Das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 kann von oben oder seitlich in den Schlitz 08 eingebracht werden. Der Durchmesser der zweiten Querschnittsbereiche der elliptischen Querschnittserweiterung des Grundkörpers 02 des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 ist vorzugsweise geringfügig kleiner als die Breite der Schlitze 08, um das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 in den Schlitz 08 problemlos einführen zu können.After the slots 08 have been introduced, the demolition tool 01 is preferably inserted into the middle of the three slots 08. Fig. 3 shows the demolition tool 01 arranged within the slot 08. The demolition tool 01 can be inserted into the slot 08 from above or from the side. The diameter The second cross-sectional areas of the elliptical cross-sectional expansion of the base body 02 of the demolition tool 01 is preferably slightly smaller than the width of the slots 08 in order to be able to insert the demolition tool 01 into the slot 08 without any problems.

Der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Detaildarstellung kann entnommen werden, dass die Ritzwerkzeuge 05 in dieser Positionierung des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01, also beim Einsetzen in den Schlitz 08, noch keinen Kontakt mit einem ersten Wandabschnitt 14 des Schlitzes 08 haben. Der erste Wandabschnitt 14 erstreckt sich unmittelbar von einem Boden 15 des Schlitzes 08. Ebenso besteht kein Kontakt zwischen dem zweiten Endbereich 04 des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 und einem zweiten Wandabschnitt 17 des Schlitzes 08. Der zweite Wandabschnitt 17 erstreckt sich von einem dem Boden 15 gegenüberliegenden Anfang 18 des Schlitzes 08.The in Fig. 4 It can be seen from the detailed illustration shown that the scribing tools 05 in this positioning of the demolition tool 01, that is to say when they are inserted into the slot 08, are not yet in contact with a first wall section 14 of the slot 08. The first wall section 14 extends directly from a floor 15 of the slot 08. Likewise, there is no contact between the second end region 04 of the demolition tool 01 and a second wall section 17 of the slot 08. The second wall section 17 extends from a beginning 18 opposite the floor 15 the slot 08.

Nachdem das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 in dem Schlitz positioniert wurde, wird das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 in Rotation versetzt. Hierbei gelangen die Ritzwerkzeuge 05 in Kontakt mit dem ersten Wandabschnitt 14 und erzeugen einen Ritz in dem ersten Wandabschnitt 14 des Schlitzes 08. Gleichzeitig oder durch einen Winkelversatz etwas nachlaufend wird durch den zweiten Endbereich 04 eine Druckkraft auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt 17 des Schlitzes 08 ausgeübt. Infolge dieser Druckkraft bricht das Gestein 09 zwischen den Schlitzen 08. Der erzeugte Ritz dient als Sollbruchstelle und gewährleistet ein kontrolliertes Brechen des Gesteins, wobei eine relativ glatte Bruchfläche am Boden des Schlitzes 08 entsteht. Fig. 5 verdeutlicht das Brechen des Gesteins 09, während Fig. 6 die mit dem ersten Wandabschnitt 14 des Schlitzes 08 in Kontakt stehenden Ritzwerkzeuge 05 zeigt.After the demolition tool 01 is positioned in the slot, the demolition tool 01 is set in rotation. Here, the scribing tools 05 come into contact with the first wall section 14 and produce a scribe in the first wall section 14 of the slot 08. Simultaneously or by an angular offset, the second end region 04 exerts a compressive force on the second wall section 17 of the slot 08. As a result of this compressive force, the rock 09 breaks between the slots 08. The scratch generated serves as a predetermined breaking point and ensures a controlled breaking of the rock, a relatively smooth fracture surface being created at the bottom of the slot 08. Fig. 5 illustrates the breaking of rock 09 while Fig. 6 which shows the scribing tools 05 in contact with the first wall section 14 of the slot 08.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung einer zweiten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Abbruchwerkzeuges 01. Der Grundkörper 02 dieser Ausführungsform ist in Form eines Reißzahns ausgebildet, welcher in Längsrichtung auf einer Seite konvex gekrümmt ist. Der erste Endbereich 03 des Grundkörpers 02 ist mit drei Ritzwerkzeugen 05 ausgestattet, welche sich in Verlängerung des Grundkörpers 02 erstrecken. Der erste Endbereich 03 besitzt eine größere Breite als der Schlitz 08. Über die Anbaukonsole 07 kann das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 an den beweglichen Trägerarm der Baumaschine 12 (siehe Fig. 2) angebaut werden. Der Grundkörper 02 besitzt einen von dem ersten Endbereich 03 zu dem axial gegenüberliegenden zweiten Endbereich 04 zunehmenden Querschnitt. Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of the demolition tool 01 according to the invention. The base body 02 of this embodiment is designed in the form of a fang, which is convexly curved on one side in the longitudinal direction. The first end region 03 of the base body 02 is equipped with three scribing tools 05, which extend in the extension of the base body 02. The first end region 03 has a greater width than the slot 08. The demolition tool 01 can be attached to the movable support arm of the construction machine 12 via the attachment bracket 07 (see Fig. 2 ) are grown. The base body 02 has a cross section which increases from the first end region 03 to the axially opposite second end region 04.

Das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 gemäß der zweiten Ausführungsform wird seitlich mit seiner schmaleren Seite in den Schlitz 08 eingebracht und linear durch den Schlitz 08 bewegt. Während dieser Linearbewegung kontaktieren die Ritzwerkzeuge 05 den ersten Wandabschnitt 14 des Schlitzes und erzeugen einen parallel zu dem Boden 15 des Schlitzes 08 verlaufenden Ritz. Währenddessen wirkt aufgrund des in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers 02 zunehmenden Querschnitts des Grundkörpers 02 eine Druckkraft auf den zweiten Wandabschnitt 17 des Schlitzes 08, wodurch das Gestein 09 zwischen den Schlitzen 08 gebrochen wird. Fig. 8 veranschaulicht das Brechen des Gesteins 09.The demolition tool 01 according to the second embodiment is inserted laterally with its narrower side into the slot 08 and moved linearly through the slot 08. During this linear movement, the scribing tools 05 contact the first wall section 14 of the slot and produce a scribe running parallel to the bottom 15 of the slot 08. In the meantime, due to the increasing cross section of the base body 02 in the longitudinal direction of the base body 02, a compressive force acts on the second wall section 17 of the slot 08, as a result of which the rock 09 is broken between the slots 08. Fig. 8 illustrates the breaking of stone 09.

Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen perspektivische Darstellungen einer dritten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Abbruchwerkzeuges 01. Adäquat zu der in Figur 7 gezeigten Ausführung ist der Grundkörper 02 wiederum in Form eines Reißzahns ausgebildet. Der Grundkörper 02 besteht in der gezeigten Ausführung aus mehreren ersten Platten 19, welche fest miteinander verbunden sind. An dem Außenumfang des Grundkörpers 02, insbesondere an den Seitenflächen, welche den Druckkräften von den Seitenwänden im Schlitz ausgesetzt sind, sind mehrere zweite Platten 20 angeordnet, welche zur Versteifung des Grundkörpers 02 und zum Schutz gegen Verschleiß dienen. Die zweiten Platten 20 können aus Hartmetall gefertigt sein und austauschbar an den ersten Platten 19 angebracht sein.The Figures 9 and 10 show perspective representations of a third embodiment of the demolition tool 01 according to the invention Figure 7 shown embodiment, the base body 02 is again in the form of a fang. In the embodiment shown, the base body 02 consists of a plurality of first plates 19 which are fixed to one another are connected. On the outer circumference of the base body 02, in particular on the side surfaces which are exposed to the compressive forces from the side walls in the slot, a plurality of second plates 20 are arranged which serve to stiffen the base body 02 and to protect against wear. The second plates 20 can be made of hard metal and can be interchangeably attached to the first plates 19.

In der gezeigten Ausführung ist der die Spitze des Reißzahns bildende erste Endbereich 03 als separates, mit dem Grundkörper 02 verbundenes Bauteil ausgebildet. Der Grundkörper 02 und der erste Endbereich 03 können alternativ auch einteilig ausgebildet sein. An dem ersten Endbereich 03 sind am distalen Ende zwei Ritzwerkzeuge 05 angeordnet, welche sich in Verlängerung des Grundkörpers 02 erstrecken. Bei abgewandelten Ausführungsformen können auch mehr als zwei Ritzwerkzeuge 05 oder lediglich ein Ritzwerkzeug 05 Verwendung finden.In the embodiment shown, the first end region 03 forming the tip of the fang is designed as a separate component connected to the base body 02. The base body 02 and the first end region 03 can alternatively also be formed in one piece. At the first end region 03, two scribing tools 05 are arranged at the distal end, which extend in the extension of the base body 02. In modified embodiments, more than two scribing tools 05 or only one scribing tool 05 can also be used.

An dem zweiten Endbereich 04 des Grundkörpers 02, ist ein als ein Brechkeil 22 ausgebildetes Brechwerkzeug angeordnet, welcher in Fig. 11 im Detail dargestellt ist. Der Brechkeil 22 ist über eine Grundplatte 23 mit dem Grundkörper 02 lösbar verbunden. Der Außenumfang, insbesondere die Seitenflächen des Brechkeils 22, die mit den Seitenwänden im Schlitz im Gestein in Kontakt gebracht werden, ist mit vier dritten Platten 24 ausgestattet, welche sich beidseitig von der Brechkeilspitze in Richtung des Grundkörpers 02 erstrecken und zur Versteifung sowie zum Schutz gegen Verschleiß des Brechkeils 22 dienen. Der Brechkeil 22 ist an seiner breiten Seite, die dem Grundkörper 02 zugewandt ist, etwa 30% bis 40% breiter als der Grundkörper 02. Der Brechkeil 22 ist durch die Baumaschine, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Löffelzylinders antreibbar. Die von den Ritzwerkzeugen 05 am Boden des Schlitzes und dem Brechkeil 22 ausgeführte Bewegung bzw. die daraus resultierende Kraft beim Brechen des Gesteins ist durch Pfeile in den Figuren 9 und 10 angedeutet.At the second end region 04 of the base body 02, a breaking tool designed as a breaking wedge 22 is arranged, which in Fig. 11 is shown in detail. The crushing wedge 22 is detachably connected to the base body 02 via a base plate 23. The outer circumference, in particular the side surfaces of the breaking wedge 22, which are brought into contact with the side walls in the slot in the rock, is equipped with four third plates 24, which extend on both sides from the breaking wedge tip in the direction of the base body 02 and for stiffening and protection against Wear the breaking wedge 22 serve. On its broad side, which faces the base body 02, the breaking wedge 22 is about 30% to 40% wider than the base body 02. The breaking wedge 22 can be driven by the construction machine, for example with the aid of a spoon cylinder. The from the scribing tools 05 at the bottom of the slot and the Breaking wedge 22 executed movement or the resulting force when breaking the rock is indicated by arrows in the Figures 9 and 10 indicated.

Fig. 12 zeigt eine vierte Ausführungsform des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01. Im Unterschied zu der in den Figuren 9 bis 11 gezeigten Ausführung ist das Brechwerkzeug hier als ein Hydraulikhammer 25 ausgebildet, welcher im Detail in Fig. 13 dargestellt ist. Der Hydraulikhammer 25 umfasst ein Schlagwerk 26 und einen Brechmeißel 27, welcher in einem Gehäuse 28 angeordnet ist. Mit Hilfe des Schlagwerkes 26 wird der Brechmeißel 27 in das Gestein getrieben, erzeugt eine Kerbe und löst dieses aus dem Verbund. Der Brechmeißel 27 erstreckt sich senkrecht zu der Längsachse des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01. Die Schlagrichtung des Schlagwerkes 26 sollte immer der Arbeitsrichtung des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 entsprechen. Die Schlagkraft wirkt somit in Richtung des Schlitzes. Die Bewegungsrichtung des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 und die Schlagrichtung des Schlagwerkes 26 bzw. die daraus resultierenden Kräfte sind durch Pfeile in Fig. 12 angedeutet. Fig. 12 shows a fourth embodiment of the demolition tool 01. In contrast to that in the Figures 9 to 11 In the embodiment shown, the breaking tool is designed here as a hydraulic hammer 25, which in detail in Fig. 13 is shown. The hydraulic hammer 25 comprises an impact mechanism 26 and a crushing tool 27, which is arranged in a housing 28. With the help of the striking mechanism 26, the crushing chisel 27 is driven into the rock, creates a notch and removes it from the composite. The chisel 27 extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the demolition tool 01. The direction of impact of the striking mechanism 26 should always correspond to the working direction of the demolition tool 01. The impact force thus acts in the direction of the slot. The direction of movement of the demolition tool 01 and the direction of impact of the impact mechanism 26 and the forces resulting therefrom are indicated by arrows in Fig. 12 indicated.

Eine fünfte Ausführungsform des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 kann Fig. 14 entnommen werden. Auch diese Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von den Ausführungsformen gemäß der Figuren 9 bis 13 lediglich durch das verwendete Brechwerkzeug. Das Brechwerkzeug ist hier als ein Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 ausgebildet, welches im Detail in Fig. 15 dargestellt ist. Die von dem Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 ausgeübte Bewegung ist in Richtung der Anbaukonsole 07 gerichtet und mittels eines einfachen Pfeils angedeutet. Die durch das Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 erzeugte Schlagkraft, welche wiederum in Arbeitsrichtung des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 gerichtet ist, ist als breiter Pfeil in Fig. 14 dargestellt.A fifth embodiment of the demolition tool 01 can Fig. 14 be removed. This embodiment also differs from the embodiments according to FIG Figures 9 to 13 only by the breaking tool used. The breaking tool is designed here as an eccentric striking mechanism 29, which is shown in detail in FIG Fig. 15 is shown. The movement exerted by the eccentric striking mechanism 29 is directed in the direction of the mounting bracket 07 and is indicated by a simple arrow. The impact force generated by the eccentric impact mechanism 29, which in turn is directed in the working direction of the demolition tool 01, is shown as a broad arrow in FIG Fig. 14 shown.

Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 und Hydraulikhammer 25 kommen vorzugsweise bei einer einachsigen Druckfestigkeit des zu brechenden Gesteins größer 60 MPa zum Einsatz. Bei einer geringeren einachsigen Druckfestigkeit wird bevorzugt der Brechkeil 22 verwendet.Eccentric striking mechanism 29 and hydraulic hammer 25 are preferably used with a uniaxial compressive strength of the rock to be broken greater than 60 MPa. With a lower uniaxial compressive strength, the breaking wedge 22 is preferably used.

Brechkeil 22, Hydraulikhammer 25 und Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 können wahlweise an dem Grundkörper 02 befestigt werden. Hierdurch kann das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 aufwandsarm an die jeweilige Gesteinsart angepasst werden.Breaking wedge 22, hydraulic hammer 25 and eccentric striking mechanism 29 can optionally be attached to the base body 02. As a result, the demolition tool 01 can be adapted to the respective type of rock with little effort.

Nachfolgendend sollen anhand der Figur 16 insbesondere die Besonderheiten erläutert werden, welche sich für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durch die Verwendung des mit dem Brechwerkzeug ausgestatteten Abbruchwerkzeuges gemäß den Figuren 9 bis 15 ergeben.In the following, the Figure 16 In particular, the peculiarities are explained which arise for the method according to the invention by using the demolition tool equipped with the breaking tool according to Figures 9 to 15 surrender.

Nach Einbringen der Schlitze 08 wird das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 bevorzugt in einen mittleren zwischen zwei benachbarten Schlitzen 08 eingeführt. Da das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 breiter als der gefräste Schlitz 08 ist, wird zum Einführen des Abbruchwerkzeuges 01 immer eine Bruchkante benötigt, von der das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 eingeführt wird. Das Abbruchwerkzeug 01 wird mit seinem, die Ritzwerkzeuge 05 tragenden, ersten Endbereich 03 in den Schlitz 08 eingebracht und linear durch den Schlitz 08 bewegt. Während dieser Linearbewegung kontaktieren die Ritzwerkzeuge 05 den ersten, tiefer liegenden Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes 08 und erzeugen einen parallel zu dem Boden des Schlitzes 08 verlaufenden Ritz. Währenddessen wird auf den zweiten, weniger tief liegenden Wandabschnitt des Schlitzes 08 eine Druckkraft ausgeübt, wodurch das Gestein 09 zwischen den Schlitzen 08 gebrochen wird. Diese Druckkraft wird einerseits durch den in Längsrichtung des Grundkörpers 02 zunehmenden Querschnitt des Grundkörpers 02 und andererseits durch das als Brechkeil 22, Hydraulikhammer 25 oder Exzenter-Schlagwerk 29 ausgebildete Brechwerkzeug erzeugt. Durch Wirkung des Grundkörpers 02 wird das Gestein 09 vorgebrochen. Das Brechwerkzeug sorgt dafür, dass das Gestein 09 komplett abgelöst wird. Fig. 16 verdeutlicht das Brechen des Gesteins 09, welches gleichzeitig in die beiden benachbarten Schlitze 08 gedrückt wird.After the slots 08 have been introduced, the demolition tool 01 is preferably inserted into a central one between two adjacent slots 08. Since the demolition tool 01 is wider than the milled slot 08, a breaking edge is always required to insert the demolition tool 01, from which the demolition tool 01 is inserted. The demolition tool 01 is inserted into the slot 08 with its first end region 03, which carries the scribing tools 05, and is moved linearly through the slot 08. During this linear movement, the scribing tools 05 contact the first, lower-lying wall section of the slot 08 and produce a scribe running parallel to the bottom of the slot 08. In the meantime, a pressure force is exerted on the second, less deep wall section of the slot 08, as a result of which the rock 09 is broken between the slots 08. This pressure force is generated on the one hand by the cross section of the main body 02 increasing in the longitudinal direction of the main body 02 and on the other hand by the breaking tool designed as a breaking wedge 22, hydraulic hammer 25 or eccentric hammer mechanism 29. The rock 09 is pre-broken by the action of the base body 02. The crushing tool ensures that the rock 09 is completely detached. Fig. 16 illustrates the breaking of the rock 09, which is pressed simultaneously into the two adjacent slots 08.
