Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for the mechanical backfilling of trenches.
  • the present invention relates to the field of public works. It was carried out in the field of laying pipes in the ground.
  • pipe is meant here any type of pipe: cables (electrical, telephone, fibers, etc.), fluid pipes (gas, drinking water, waste water, etc.) or even ducts. It is then necessary to backfill the trench by filling it with one or more types of materials and, if necessary, finish with a coating layer, when the pipe is laid for example under a roadway.
  • the pipe is laid at the bottom of the trench according to a process which depends on the nature of the pipe. As this installation technique is not concerned by the invention, it is not developed here.
  • the trench should be backfilled.
  • the material extracted during the construction of the trench can be used to backfill the empty space between the pipe and the ground level.
  • This operation is most often carried out using a mechanical shovel which takes the backfill material (for example on a truck, at the edge of the trench, ...) to deposit it in the trench over the conduct. It can be done by dumping the material directly from the truck into the trench. It is then advisable to level the material to bring it to the level of the ground or else slightly below the level of the ground when a coating (tar or other) must be carried out in finishing.
  • the document US5765966 discloses a device which both makes a trench and deposits at the bottom of the latter a material, for example a material making it possible to modify the characteristics of the subsoil (to make it more stable or even more draining, for example). It includes a motorized machine which cantilever at the rear a tool for making the trench and placing a new material at the bottom of it, the new material being fed by a container also located at the rear of the gear. This device is not suitable for filling an already dug trench.
  • the document WO89 / 11569 shows a trench filling unit comprising a hopper for the storage of material to be introduced into the trench, a conveyor for moving the material from the hopper into the trench, as well as blades, which, in operational mode, are mounted in the trench and which have a lower edge defining the upper limit of the material moved in the trench. Said blades may be of variable width and be tiltable both with respect to the horizontal axis and to the vertical axis.
  • This filling unit takes place at the front of a motorized vehicle.
  • the conveyor moves the material in the hopper laterally with respect to the direction of travel of the motorized vehicle.
  • the device described above US5765966
  • the document FR2697036 shows a device of the road paver type which makes it possible to deposit in a single pass two different coatings, a main coating and an additional coating.
  • the coatings here are each spread over a road, each time by a distributor and a compaction and smoothing table.
  • the backfilling (and final coating) operation generally corresponds to the stage during the installation of an underground pipe which requires the most time and it is therefore the overall duration of this operation which determines the duration of the construction site. pose.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method and a corresponding device making it possible to backfill a trench or the like more quickly.
  • the method according to the invention will make it possible to increase the level of quality of the backfill.
  • the present invention provides a device according to claim 1.
  • This device is quite original based on a structure already known to a paver. It is suitable here for mechanical backfilling of trenches. This device allows continuous backfilling and not discontinuous as usually done with a mechanical shovel. The time saving obtained is very significant. Ergonomics for the operator are also greatly improved.
  • the conveying means preferably make it possible to convey the backfill material from the rear of the machine towards the front thereof.
  • the forward and reverse direction is given by the elements (wheels, tracks or others) coming into contact with the ground, the first hopper being at the rear of the machine. It is possible to have a first hopper at least partially in rear overhang with respect to the elements (wheels, tracks or others) coming into contact with the ground.
  • the conveying means then make it possible to bring backfill material to the front of these elements coming into contact with the ground.
  • the guide means are provided to guide the filling material falling downstream of the conveying means towards a trench.
  • the guidance can be done for example in an essentially vertical direction or in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • the guide means may include a second hopper having an upper opening arranged under one end of the conveying means and a lower opening opening downwards.
  • the guide means may comprise two arms extending in a substantially horizontal direction and having substantially vertical faces and forming a dihedral. On the same device, it is possible to have both a second hopper and guide arms.
  • guide means comprising arms mounted to move transversely independently of one another.
  • the spacing between the arms, which defines the convergence zone can be adapted according to the width of the trench to be backfilled.
  • the above device can also further comprise means making it possible to vary the height position of the guide means.
  • the trenches are made under a roadway and the device can fill the trench by overlapping it. In certain cases, however, the trench may for example be made on the shoulder. It is then advantageous to be able to have the guide means cantilevered with respect to the motorized vehicle so that the device can come and fill the trench from the side.
  • the device described above provision is made, for example, for the device described above to further include means making it possible to move the guide means laterally with respect to the direction of movement of the motorized vehicle.
  • the conveying means of the device can then advantageously comprise means making it possible to carry out lateral conveying with respect to the direction of movement of the motorized vehicle.
  • the conveying means comprise for example a first conveying portion mounted on rollers extending between the elements intended to come into contact with a ground and defining a first conveying plane and at least one second conveying portion mounted on rollers extending the first conveying portion defining the first conveying plane, the second conveying portion defining a second conveying plane inclined upwards by compared to the foreground conveyor.
  • the movement of the backfill material transported by the conveying means according to the first conveying plane allows the backfill material to pass from one side of the motorized vehicle to the other while the movement by the conveying means according to the second conveying plane allows the backfill material to be "raised" to bring it above the guide means.
  • the first conveying portion and the second conveying portion can be formed for example by a conveyor belt.
  • the present invention also provides a method for mechanically backfilling a trench according to claim 11.
  • Such a method is particularly suitable for being implemented with a device as described above.
  • the motorized vehicle moves so that it is in front of the vehicle containing the filling material.
  • the device described above can be used for the implementation of all materials that fill a trench, from the laying bed to the road covering.
  • the device illustrated in the figures is preferably made from a finisher, that is to say a public works machine intended to uniformly deposit a coating on a roadway, in particular a bituminous mix.
  • such a paver comprises a device for spreading a coating material, hereinafter referred to as tar, on a roadway.
  • This device also called an adjustment table, has an elongated shape, is arranged transversely to the roadway and receives tar which is distributed over the adjustment table using, for example, a worm screw system.
  • the adjustment table is carried by a motorized wheeled or tracked machine.
  • This motorized machine has a control platform on which an operator is seated. In the "normal" direction of travel, that is to say when laying a coating, the adjustment table is located at the rear of the machine (to prevent the latter from rolling on the coating. which has just been installed and which is not yet dry).
  • the tar adjustment table is fed from a tar “reserve” placed in a hopper placed at the front of the machine.
  • a hopper is called a container with an opening in the lower part with walls inclined towards said opening and which allows, like a funnel, to store and gradually pour out (depending on the size of the opening in the lower part) a viscous material. and / or grainy.
  • the tar is conveyed from the hopper to the adjustment table by a bar conveyor, which extends from an extreme position under the opening of the hopper to the adjustment table.
  • the conveyor is usually placed under the control platform, between the wheels or tracks of the motorized vehicle.
  • a tipper truck is then placed in front of the paver (in the direction of travel), the tipping body of which is filled with tar.
  • the skip then gradually dumps tar into the paver hopper.
  • This tar is conveyed to the adjustment table which deposits it on the road. The rate of progress is given by the paver which pushes the truck which supplies it with tar.

  • the motorized vehicle 2 comprises a frame 6 which comes into contact with a ground by the intermediary of tracks 8 and which carries a first hopper 10 arranged here at the rear of the motorized vehicle 2. It seems unnecessary to describe this finisher in more detail, which is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the motorized vehicle 2 moves on horizontal ground. Compared to the paver from which it is produced, the Mechanical backfill is intended in operation to move in reverse.
  • the first hopper 10 is therefore considered now and subsequently in the present description to be at the rear of the mechanical backfill device (while it was at the front of the paver).

There are thus three reinforcement tubes 24 arranged in a U-shape in a substantially horizontal plane. The free ends of the U are fixed (welded) to the first sheet 16 of the second hopper 12. A reinforced hopper structure is thus produced.

In this way, these arms can be translated upwards and / or downwards with or without a combination of this translational movement with a rotational movement. It is thus possible to achieve precise positioning of the second hopper 12.
