DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows an excavation shaft 20 at the distal end portion of an auger shaft, which has a configuration substantially similar to that of the conventional example shown in FIG. 4. The distal end portion 21 of the excavation shaft 20 is connected to the lower end portion of a screw 25. A large number of excavation claws 26 to 26 are fixed, and a claw 26 is also provided at the center tip.
Further, the excavation shaft 20 includes a stirring blade 24 and also includes an accompanying rotation prevention plate 29 for preventing the excavated soil from being accompanied with the shaft and the like. The tip part 21 of this can be freely rotated. An iron powder injection hole 27 is provided at the tip of the excavation shaft 20.
[0010]
The most characteristic configuration of the present invention is a structure related to the iron powder injection hole 27, and the opening of the injection hole 27 is provided in the direction indicated by the arrow A as shown in FIG.
The configuration of each member of the apparatus shown in this figure is substantially the same as the configuration of the end portion of the excavation shaft of the type shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, but a number of excavations are provided at the lower end portion of the screw indicated by reference numerals 25 and 25. Claws 26 to 26 are provided, and an iron powder injection hole 27 is opened in the direction of arrow A at the distal end portion 21 of the excavation shaft 20. The angle α between the opening direction A of the injection hole 27 and the mounting position of the excavation claw 26 at the screw lower end 25 is set to be within about 45 °.
[0011]
The present invention is characterized by the angular relationship between the lower end portion of the screw 25, that is, the arrangement direction of the excavating claws 26 to 26, and the opening direction A of the iron powder injection hole 27. It plays.
In FIG. 2, the rotation direction of the screw 25, and thus the rotation direction of the excavation claws 26 to 26, is the direction of the arrow B during excavation and agitation, which is during normal rotation. The purifying iron powder injection hole 27 is provided on the back side of the screw 25 at the distal end portion 21 of the excavation shaft 20, and the opening is directed in the direction of arrow A.
[0012]
For this reason, when the screw 25 is not rotating, the iron powder to be ejected should be ejected along the arrow A in, for example, the region shape indicated by the reference C ′ in FIG.
However, since the excavation shaft 20 including the screw 25 performs excavation and agitation while rotating in the direction of arrow B, the excavation earth pressure on the rear side in the rotation direction of the screw 25 is lower than the earth pressure at other portions. For this reason, the iron powder injected together with the high-pressure air moves and diffuses along with the conveying air along the back surface of the screw 25 which is the low-pressure portion, and as a result, the spread becomes a region C in the figure. . Moreover, the injected iron powder and air are sufficiently diffused along the back surface of the screw 25 to the tip portion thereof.
[0013]
6 to 9, the diffusion state of the injected iron powder by the purifying apparatus of the present invention and the conventionally known apparatus will be compared.
FIG. 6 is a comparative test example using the apparatus according to the present invention and the conventional apparatus, in the excavation and stirring construction area of iron powder for each purification, and in each construction area and the non-construction area for comparison. Each iron powder concentration measurement position is shown.
[0014]
In the same figure, “old head construction” is an excavation head of the type shown in FIG. 5 in which the opening direction A ′ of the iron powder injection holes 7 is 90 ° with respect to the arrangement direction of the excavation claws 6-6. The purification construction area using is shown.
“Improved head construction” refers to a purification construction area using the excavation head according to the present invention of the type shown in FIG. And in any part of the figure, the symbol A is the central position in one excavation and stirring zone, the symbol B is the middle position, and the symbol C is the measurement position at the outer peripheral end of the construction zone. it's shown. In addition, BL _{1 to} BL ₅ indicate iron powder concentration measurement positions for comparison in an area where the iron powder for purification is not excavated and mixed by any of these devices.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 7, the estimated value of iron powder in the soil at the position (A) at a depth of 1 m from the ground surface is the average value in the excavation mixing zone of iron powder using a conventionally known excavation head (old head construction). Was 1.2% at the central site (A), 1.0% at the intermediate site (B), and 0.5% at the end (C).
Similarly, the estimated value of iron powder in the soil at a position (B) at a depth of 2 m from the ground surface is 1.3% at the central part (b) and 1.2% at the middle part (b), at the end. In (c), it was measured to be 0.5%.
[0016]
On the other hand, the values shown in FIG. 8 are the positions (A) and 2 m (B) at a depth of 1 m from the ground surface in the iron powder excavation mixing area using the excavation head (construction of improved excavation head) according to the present invention. ) Shows the estimated value of iron powder in the soil. The average value at a depth of 1 m was 1.0% for the central part (A), 1.2% for the intermediate part (B), and 1.1% for the end part (C). Similarly, an average value of 1.0% was obtained at the central portion (A) at the position of 2 m depth.
[0017]
FIG. 9 shows the estimated value of the iron powder in the non-construction area indicated by BL _{1 to} BL ₅ in FIG. 6 and the estimated value of the iron powder existing in the natural soil. And the result measured at the position of depth 1m (A) and depth 2m (B) by the method similar to the said FIG. 7, FIG. 8 was 0.3% as evident from the figure.
In addition, the estimated value (%) of iron powder content in these soils was measured using a known susceptibility meter.
Moreover, the mixing amount of the iron powder for purification in this experiment was 1% by weight with respect to the amount of excavated soil to be purified.
[0018]
As is apparent from the comparison of the measured values (iron powder content estimated value%) of FIGS. 7 and 8 as a result of the above, in the iron powder injection structure of the conventionally known excavation head, the iron in the outer peripheral portion of each construction area According to the improved excavation head according to the present invention, while the powder concentration is extremely low compared with the iron powder concentration in the central part and the intermediate part, the iron powder in any part of the construction area of each time It turns out that the density | concentration also shows the substantially equal value.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
According to the iron powder injection structure in the auger excavator of the present invention, the iron powder injection port by the high-pressure air is directed to the rear surface of the excavation claw arrangement part of the excavation head, so that the central part, the intermediate part and the outer periphery of the excavation stirring area The iron powder could be uniformly diffused and mixed at any position of the part. For this reason, it was possible to reduce the air pressure for transporting and jetting iron powder, and to lighten the “flooding” of the ground in the purification construction area. Moreover, since the mixing ratio of the iron powder in the purification zone can be made uniform, the total amount of iron powder used can be reduced.
