Description

  The present invention includes a diameter-enlarged tube with a tip blade that can be constructed in a short time by being connected to the tip of a pile body buried in the ground, and can obtain a large tip support force after being buried, and the same. The present invention relates to a steel pipe pile with a tip blade.

Conventionally, various screwed piles have been proposed that are embedded in the ground by the action of the wing plate by attaching a wing plate to the tip and side of the pile and applying a rotational force using a construction machine installed on the ground. It can be constructed with low vibration, low noise and no soil, and after embedding, it can be put into practical use in the field of civil engineering and construction because it can obtain a large tip support force by utilizing the area of the wing plate.
For example, (Patent Document 1) discloses “a screwed pile having a diameter-increased portion provided at a tip portion of a pile body, and a wing provided at least at the tip portion of the diameter-expanded portion or in the vicinity thereof”. ing.
In addition, (Patent Document 2) states that “the pile is divided into a tip portion consisting of a steel pipe, a digging blade, and a blade, and a tip portion that is connected to the upper side of the tip portion, and the tip portion and the supplement portion of the tip portion are supplemented. An assembly-type steel pipe pile having a structure in which a steel pipe can be arbitrarily selected and connected by an appropriate means is disclosed.

However, the above conventional techniques have the following problems.
(1) Since the screwed pile of (Patent Document 1) has a straight shape in which the tip surface of the wing extends straight in the radial direction, when the screwed pile is rotated, the entire surface (radial direction of the blade) Since the entire width) penetrates into the earth and sand at the same time, the resistance during construction is large, the torque required for screwing is also large, construction takes time, and deformation or breakage occurs at the tip of the wing due to the load. It had the subject that it was easy to do and lacked workability.
(2) Since the assembly type steel pipe pile of (Patent Document 2) has blades arranged only on the outer periphery of the steel pipe, the ground contact area is narrow and the tip support force is insufficient. The number had to be increased, and had the problem of lacking in resource saving and workability. Further, by providing a drilling blade at the tip of the steel pipe, the drillability can be improved, but the number of parts increases and the mass productivity is lacking, and the tip surface of the blade is straight in the radial direction as in (Patent Document 1). Due to the straight shape extending in the direction, the tip of the blade is likely to be loaded at the time of construction, and deformation and breakage are likely to occur. In addition, when reinforcing plates and struts are provided to reinforce the blades, the number of parts increases and mass productivity is lacking, the tip becomes larger, the shape becomes complicated, and it is easy to receive resistance in the soil. However, it had a problem of lacking in workability and workability.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, has a simple structure, has a small number of parts, is excellent in mass productivity, and can be attached to the tip of the pile body to reduce the load during construction and prevent breakage and deformation. Providing a diameter expansion tube with a tip blade with excellent workability and reliability that can be embedded in a short time by providing a diameter expansion tube with a tip blade, providing excellent workability and a large tip support force after embedding Therefore, it is possible to reduce the pipe diameter of the pile body and reduce the number of pipes used. It is excellent in resource saving and handling, and is less likely to be displaced when buried, with low vibration, low noise, and no waste. The purpose is to provide steel pipe piles with tip blades that have excellent reliability and environmental protection that can be constructed in soil.

In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the expanded pipe with a tip blade of the present invention and the steel pipe pile with the tip blade having the same have the following configurations.
The diameter expansion tube with a tip blade according to claim 1 of the present invention is a diameter expansion tube with a tip blade continuously provided at a lower end portion of a pile body formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, from the upper end side to the lower end side. An enlarged diameter portion formed by expanding the diameter, a notch portion formed by spirally cutting a lower end portion of the enlarged diameter portion, and an outer diameter disposed on an end surface of the notch portion. A spiral blade having an inner diameter larger than a maximum diameter of the expanded portion and smaller than a minimum diameter of the expanded portion, and a drilling blade formed in an arc shape at a tip portion on a lower end side of the spiral blade. It has a configuration.
With this configuration, the following operation is obtained.
(1) An enlarged diameter portion formed by expanding the diameter from the upper end side toward the lower end side, a notch portion formed by spirally cutting the lower end portion of the enlarged diameter portion, and an end face of the notch portion Since it has a spiral blade with an outer diameter larger than the maximum diameter of the expanded portion and an inner diameter smaller than the minimum diameter of the expanded portion, it is embedded by connecting the expanded portion to the lower end of the pile body. It is possible to obtain a large tip support force by enlarging the ground contact area later, to reduce the pipe diameter of the pile body, to reduce the number of pipes used, and to improve resource saving and workability.
(2) Since the spiral blades are arranged on the end face of the cutout part formed by cutting out the lower end part of the enlarged diameter part in a spiral shape, the construction is attached to the lower end part of the pile body and installed on the ground. By giving a rotational force using a machine, it can be easily embedded in the ground by the action of the spiral blades, and is excellent in workability.
(3) Since the diameter-expanded portion is formed by expanding from the upper end side toward the lower end side, the distance from the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the diameter-expanded portion to the outer periphery of the spiral blade can be shortened. The bending moment generated by the external force during construction can be reduced, the deformation of the spiral blade can be effectively prevented, and the durability is excellent.
(4) By having the excavating blade formed in an arc shape at the tip portion on the lower end side of the spiral blade, the tip portion of the spiral blade easily enters the ground during rotation, and the earth and sand are formed in an arc shape. It is easy to flow to the rear of the spiral blade along the excavation blade, and the resistance applied to the spiral blade can be reduced, so that deformation and breakage of the spiral blade can be prevented, and the workability and reliability are excellent. .
(5) Since the inner diameter of the spiral blade is smaller than the minimum diameter of the expanded portion, the earth and sand loosened and fluidized by the spiral blade during construction moves along the upper surface of the spiral blade. In addition, it can easily enter the inside of the enlarged diameter portion, can shorten the construction time, and is excellent in workability.

  Here, as the diameter-enlarged portion, it is only necessary to increase the diameter from the upper end side toward the lower end side, and the peripheral wall between the upper end portion and the lower end portion may be formed linearly or curved. You may form in. In particular, when a diameter-enlarged portion in which the peripheral wall between the upper end portion and the lower end portion is formed in a curved shape like a reducer used for connection of tubes having different tube diameters, the diameter can be enlarged at a short distance, It is possible to increase the rigidity by taking a large area of the large diameter portion, and it is excellent in durability and stability of the tip support force.

The cutout portion is formed for one turn at the lower end portion of the enlarged diameter portion so as to correspond to one turn of the spiral blade. The spiral blade can be easily formed by cutting one portion of a flat plate-like annular member in an arc shape in the radial direction. By forming an inclined rake face on the end face cut in an arc shape, the tip of the spiral blade becomes an excavating blade. If the cutting surface is inclined from the beginning when the annular member is cut, a spiral blade having an arcuate excavation blade can be formed by only one cutting process, which is easy to process and excellent in mass productivity.
Although the spiral blade is cut at the tip portion, it remains in an annular shape in a plan view, so that the ground contact area is not reduced and the tip support force can be ensured.
In addition, the outer diameter and inner diameter of the spiral blade can be appropriately selected according to the necessary tip support force, the diameter of the pile body, and the like.

The invention according to claim 2 is the diameter-expanded tube with a tip blade according to claim 1, wherein the convex guide is arranged in a spiral shape connecting the upper surface of the spiral blade and the upper end of the diameter-expanded portion. It has the structure provided with the board.
With this configuration, in addition to the operation obtained in the first aspect, the following operation can be obtained.
(1) By having a convex guide plate portion arranged in a spiral shape connecting the upper surface of the spiral blade and the upper end of the enlarged diameter portion, loosen the earth and sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion by the convex guide plate. Since it can be fluidized and earth and sand can be guided and moved from the upper surface of the spiral blade along the convex guide plate to the upper end of the enlarged diameter portion, the torque required for screwing can be reduced and construction can be performed. Time can be shortened and workability is excellent.

Here, the convex guide plate is preferably formed so as to have a substantially crescent shape when viewed from the upper end side of the enlarged diameter portion. The larger the width of the convex guide plate, the more soil can be scraped up and the sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion can be cut finely. Since the torque increases, it is desirable that the position of the string falls within the range of the spiral blade or slightly protrudes from the central opening. As a result, most of the convex guide plate overlaps with the spiral blade, and the central opening of the spiral blade is not blocked by the convex guide plate. Intrusion of earth and sand into the interior is not hindered, and workability is excellent.
By arranging the convex guide plate in a spiral shape in the same direction as the spiral blade, the earth and sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion smoothly moves from the upper surface of the spiral blade along the upper surface of the convex guide plate. It is reliably guided to the upper end of the enlarged diameter portion.

The mounting angle of the convex guide plate is preferably larger than the inclination of the spiral blade. This is because the moving distance of the earth and sand can be shortened, and the earth and sand can be scraped up to the upper end side of the enlarged diameter portion in a short time, and the workability is excellent. Specifically, although depending on the inclination of the spiral blade, the mounting angle of the convex guide plate is preferably 30 to 50 degrees. As the mounting angle of the convex guide plate becomes smaller than 30 degrees, the total length of the convex guide plate becomes longer, the shape becomes complicated, and it becomes difficult to process and attach to the enlarged diameter part, so that mass productivity tends to decrease. There is a tendency, and as it becomes larger than 50 degrees, the earth and sand tend to slip on the convex guide plate, and it tends to be difficult to reliably guide the earth and sand to the upper end side of the enlarged diameter portion, which is not preferable.
The number of convex guide plates is preferably 1 to 3, although it depends on the size of the enlarged diameter portion and the mounting angle of the convex guide plates. As the number of the convex guide plates is more than 3, the convex guide plates are easily overlapped with each other, and it is difficult to reliably weld the convex guide plates to the enlarged diameter portion, and the productivity is lowered. It is not preferable because the resistance inside the enlarged diameter portion increases during burial work, and the workability tends to decrease.

A third aspect of the present invention is the diameter-expanded pipe with a tip blade according to the second aspect, wherein the auxiliary convexity is disposed to be inclined to the upper end side of the diameter-expanded portion so as to face the convex guide plate. It has the structure provided with the shape guide part.
With this configuration, in addition to the operation obtained in the second aspect, the following operation can be obtained.
(1) By having an auxiliary convex guide portion that is opposed to the convex guide plate and is inclined to the upper end side of the enlarged diameter portion, the convex guide is provided without increasing the resistance inside the enlarged diameter portion. The earth and sand which penetrate | invaded the inside of the enlarged diameter part with the board can be efficiently moved to the upper end of the enlarged diameter part, and it is excellent in the efficiency at the time of construction.
(2) By placing the convex guide plate and the auxiliary convex guide portion facing each other, the load applied to the convex guide plate and the auxiliary convex guide portion can be dispersed. Deformation and breakage of the guide part can be prevented and the reliability is excellent.

Here, the direction of the inclination of the auxiliary convex guide portion is the same as the direction of the inclination of the convex guide plate, so that the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter portion becomes convex with the rotation of the enlarged tube with the tip blade. It can move smoothly along the guide plate and the auxiliary convex guide part. In particular, by making the attachment angle of the auxiliary convex guide portion equal to the attachment angle of the convex guide plate, the earth and sand are inclined at a substantially constant angle along the convex guide plate and the auxiliary convex guide portion inside the enlarged diameter portion. As it rises while rotating, the flow of earth and sand is smooth and excellent in workability.
The width and length of the auxiliary convex guide portion can be appropriately selected in consideration of the load during rotation. In particular, as the width of the auxiliary convex guide portion is wider, a larger amount of earth and sand can be guided and scraped up, but if it extends to the central opening portion, resistance increases during rotation and torque increases, which is not preferable.

In addition, the attachment range of the auxiliary convex guide part depends on the shape of the enlarged diameter part and the attachment angle of the auxiliary convex guide part, but from 1/4 to 1/1 of the total length of the enlarged diameter part from the upper end side of the enlarged diameter part. It is preferable to arrange in the range of 3. As the attachment range of the auxiliary convex guide part becomes narrower than 1/4 of the total length of the enlarged diameter part, the moving distance of the earth and sand tends to be short, and it becomes difficult to sufficiently guide the earth and sand, from 1/3 As it becomes wider, it becomes difficult to attach the auxiliary convex guide portion along the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion, and the productivity tends to decrease, which is not preferable.
In addition, when the auxiliary convex guide part is divided into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction and arranged also at the center part and the lower end part of the entire length of the enlarged diameter part, the earth and sand are reliably guided from the lower end side to the upper end side of the enlarged diameter part. Can do. Also, by dividing the auxiliary convex guide part, the auxiliary convex guide part can be easily attached along the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter part, thus simplifying the shape of the auxiliary convex guide part It is possible to prevent deterioration of workability and productivity. In addition, you may arrange | position a some auxiliary | assistant convex guide part in parallel with respect to one convex guide plate.

Invention of Claim 4 is a diameter expansion pipe with a tip blade | wing of any one of Claim 1 thru | or 3, Comprising: The protruding item | line part arrange | positioned by the internal peripheral surface of the said diameter expansion part, and It has the structure provided with the projection part.
With this configuration, in addition to the action obtained in any one of claims 1 to 3, the following action is obtained.
(1) By having the ridges and / or protrusions disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter portion can be guided and scraped up to the upper end side of the enlarged diameter portion; It can be rotated while finely cutting the earth and sand in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion, the torque required for screwing can be reduced, and workability can be improved.
(2) By forming ridges and / or protrusions on the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion, the surface area of the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion can be increased to increase the contact area with the earth and sand. And the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter part are improved, and the stability of the tip support force after embedding is excellent.

Here, the shape, number, and arrangement of the ridges and / or protrusions can be selected as appropriate. For example, one ridge may be arranged in a spiral shape, and a plurality of ridges and / or projections may be arranged regularly or irregularly. The wider the ridge, the greater the amount of earth and sand that can be guided and scraped, but if it protrudes far to the center opening, it will become a resistance during rotation and torque will increase, so it will fit within the spiral blade range. Preferably, it is formed so that it slightly protrudes from the central opening. Further, the length and inclination are determined in consideration of resistance and strength during rotation.
The protrusion can be formed in any shape such as a rod shape, a cone shape, or a pyramid shape. The longer the protrusion protrudes to the inside of the enlarged diameter part, the more the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter part can be agitated and cut, but if it becomes too long, the resistance increases during rotation and the torque increases. Since it is easy for damage such as deformation to occur due to hard foreign matter such as concrete or a lump of concrete, it is preferable to form it to a length that fits within the range of the spiral blades or to protrude slightly to the central opening. The thickness is determined in consideration of resistance and strength during rotation.
If the slope of the ridge is inclined in the same direction as the spiral blade or the convex guide plate, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter part can easily move along the ridge, reducing the torque required for screwing. It is possible to improve the earth and sand scraping effect. In addition, when the slope of the ridge is inclined in the opposite direction to the spiral blades or the convex guide plate, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter part can be efficiently loosened and fluidized, The effect can be improved.

(Embodiment 2)
6 (a) is a plan view of a diameter-expanded tube with a tip blade according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and FIG. 6 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 6 (a). 6 (c) is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 6 (a). In addition, the same thing as Embodiment 1 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.
In FIG. 6, the diameter expansion tube 1 a with the tip blade in the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the lower end portion 6 a is in contact with the upper surface 4 a of the spiral blade 4 and the upper end portion 6 b is the upper end of the diameter expansion portion 2. The convex guide plate 6 having a substantially crescent shape arranged in a spiral shape so as to reach 2a, and the auxiliary convex shape arranged opposite to the convex guide plate 6 and inclined toward the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2 It is a point provided with the guide part 7.

When viewed from the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the convex guide plate 6 was formed so as to have a substantially crescent shape. As the width of the convex guide plate 6 is wider, a larger amount of earth and sand can be scraped up, and the earth and sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 2 can be cut finely. Since the torque sometimes increases due to resistance, it is preferable that the position of the string falls within the range of the spiral blade 4 or slightly protrudes from the central opening 4b. Since most of the convex guide plate 6 overlaps with the spiral blade 4 and the central opening 4b of the spiral blade 4 is not blocked by the convex guide plate 6, it is possible to prevent an increase in resistance and to expand the diameter. Intrusion of earth and sand into the inside of the part 2 is not hindered and the workability is excellent.
In addition, by arranging the convex guide plate 6 in a spiral shape in the same direction as the spiral blade 4, the earth and sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 2 can be removed from the upper surface 4 a of the spiral blade 4 by the convex guide plate 6. It moves smoothly along the upper surface and is reliably guided to the upper end 2a of the enlarged diameter portion 2.

The attachment angle of the convex guide plate 6 was selected in the range of 30 to 50 degrees so as to be larger than the inclination of the spiral blade 4. As the mounting angle of the convex guide plate 6 becomes smaller than 30 degrees, the total length of the convex guide plate 6 becomes longer, the shape becomes complicated, and it becomes difficult to process and attach to the enlarged diameter portion 2, thereby reducing mass productivity. As it becomes larger than 50 degrees, the earth and sand tend to slip on the convex guide plate 6 and it becomes difficult to reliably guide the earth and sand to the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2. It is because it was understood. Further, by making the mounting angle of the convex guide plate 6 larger than the inclination of the spiral blade 4, the moving distance of the earth and sand can be shortened, and the earth and sand are scraped up to the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2 in a short time. It can be used and has excellent workability.
In the present embodiment, only one convex guide plate 6 is disposed, but the number of the convex guide plates 6 is 1 to 3 depending on the size of the enlarged diameter portion 2 and the mounting angle of the convex guide plate 6. The range can be selected. As the number of the convex guide plates 6 exceeds 3, the convex guide plates 6 tend to overlap with each other, and it becomes difficult to reliably weld the convex guide plates 6 to the enlarged diameter portion 2, thereby increasing productivity. It is because it was found that the resistance inside the enlarged-diameter portion 2 was increased during burying construction, and the workability tends to be lowered.

By making the direction of the inclination of the auxiliary convex guide part 7 the same as the direction of the inclination of the convex guide plate 6, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter part 2 with the rotation of the enlarged diameter pipe 1a with the tip blades, It can move smoothly along the convex guide plate 6 and the auxiliary convex guide portion 7. In particular, by making the attachment angle of the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 equal to the attachment angle of the convex guide plate 6, the earth and sand follow the convex guide plate 4 and the auxiliary convex guide portion 6 inside the enlarged diameter portion 2. Therefore, the earth and sand flow is smooth and the workability is excellent.
In addition, the width | variety, length, etc. of the auxiliary | assistant convex guide part 7 can be suitably selected in consideration of the load at the time of rotation. In particular, as the width of the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 is wider, a larger amount of earth and sand can be guided and scraped up, but if it protrudes to the central opening portion 4b, it becomes undesirably increased in resistance and torque during rotation.

Moreover, although the attachment range of the auxiliary convex guide part 7 depends on the shape of the enlarged diameter part 2 and the attachment angle of the auxiliary convex guide part 7, the entire length of the enlarged diameter part 2 from the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter part 2 is increased. It arrange | positioned in the range of 1 / 4-1 / 3. As the attachment range of the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 becomes narrower than 1/4 of the total length of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the moving distance of the earth and sand tends to be short, and it becomes difficult to sufficiently guide the earth and sand. This is because as it becomes wider than 3, it becomes difficult to attach the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 along the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2, and it has been found that the productivity tends to decrease. A plurality of auxiliary convex guide portions 7 may be arranged in parallel with respect to one convex guide plate 6.
The enlarged pipe 1a with the tip blade in the second embodiment can be fixed to the lower end portion 11a of the pile body 11 by welding as in the first embodiment and used as a steel pipe pile with the tip blade.
Moreover, since it is the same as that of Embodiment 1 about the usage method of the steel pipe pile with a tip blade | wing provided with the diameter expansion pipe with a tip blade | wing in Embodiment 2, description is abbreviate | omitted.

As described above, since the expanded pipe with the tip blade in the second embodiment of the present invention is configured, the following actions are obtained in addition to the actions obtained in the first embodiment.
(1) By having the convex guide plate portion 6 arranged in a spiral shape connecting the upper surface 4a of the spiral blade 4 and the upper end 2a of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the earth and sand that has entered the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 2 is projected. It is possible to loosen and fluidize by the guide plate 6 or to move the earth and sand from the upper surface 4a of the spiral blade 4 along the convex guide plate 6 to the upper end 2a of the enlarged diameter part 2 The torque required for the operation can be reduced, the construction time can be shortened, and the workability is excellent.
(2) Increasing the resistance inside the enlarged diameter portion 2 by having the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 that is opposed to the convex guide plate 6 and is inclined and arranged on the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2. In addition, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter portion 2 together with the convex guide plate 6 can be efficiently moved to the upper end 2a of the enlarged diameter portion 2, and the construction efficiency is excellent.
(3) By disposing the convex guide plate 6 and the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 so as to face each other, the load applied to the convex guide plate 6 and the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 can be dispersed. The deformation and breakage of the plate 6 and the auxiliary convex guide portion 7 can be prevented, and the reliability is excellent.

  As mentioned above, since the steel pipe pile with a tip blade | wing provided with the diameter expansion pipe | tube with a tip blade | wing in Embodiment 2 of this invention is comprised, the effect | action similar to the effect | action obtained in Embodiment 1 is acquired.

The shape, number, and arrangement of the ridges 7a can be selected as appropriate. In addition, the angle of inclination of the ridge portion 7a is equal to the angle of the spiral blade 4 or is increased by about 10 to 20 degrees, so that the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter portion 2 can easily move along the ridge portion 7a. Thus, the torque required for screwing can be reduced. In addition, as the width of the ridge 7a is wider, a larger amount of earth and sand can be guided and scraped up. However, if it protrudes to the center opening 4b, resistance increases during rotation and torque increases. It was formed in a width that fits within the range.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of ridges 7a are regularly arranged while being inclined. However, for example, one ridge may be arranged in a spiral shape, or the plurality of ridges may not be provided. You may arrange regularly.
In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the ridge portion 7a is not limited to the rectangular shape as in the present embodiment, and may be formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, a triangular prism shape, or a protruding shape. Moreover, when the protrusion part formed in arbitrary shapes, such as rod shape, a cone shape, and a pyramid shape, is provided instead of the protrusion part 7a, the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter part 2 should be reliably stirred and fluidized. Can do. The longer the protrusion protrudes to the inside of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the more the earth and sand inside the enlarged diameter portion 2 can be agitated and cut finely. Since damage such as deformation is likely to occur due to hard foreign matter such as gravel or concrete lump, it is necessary to form the length within the range of the spiral blade 4 or to a length that slightly protrudes from the central opening 4b. is there.
The expanded pipe 1b with the tip blade in the third embodiment can be used as a steel pipe pile with the tip blade by fixing to the lower end portion 11a of the pile body 11 by welding as in the first embodiment.

(1) By having the ridges 7a disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the sand inside the enlarged diameter portion 2 is guided and scraped up to the upper end 2a side of the enlarged diameter portion 2; It is possible to rotate while finely cutting the earth and sand near the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2, and it is possible to reduce the torque required for screwing and improve the workability.
(2) By forming the ridges 7a on the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2, the surface area of the inner peripheral surface of the enlarged diameter portion 2 can be increased and the contact area with the earth and sand can be increased. The bite with the inner peripheral surface of the diameter portion 2 is improved, and the stability of the tip support force after embedding is excellent.
