Description

  The present invention relates to a ground improvement device and a ground improvement method for forming an improved body in which soil and improvement materials are mixed in the ground.

  The following Patent Document 1 has been proposed as this type of ground improvement device. FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of a main part in the ground improvement device of Patent Document 1 below. As shown in the figure, the ground improvement device 100 includes an auger rod (injection rod) 101 formed in a hollow cross section and provided with a tip bit at the tip, and a radially outward direction orthogonal to the axis 101a direction of the auger rod 101. Excavation blades 102 attached in the middle of the auger rod 101 so as to protrude, a plurality of excavation bits 103 attached to the excavation blades 102 so as to protrude downward, and the auger rod 101 more than the excavation bit 103 And a solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 attached near the tip. The solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 is attached to the auger rod 101 so as to be along a direction inclined obliquely downward with respect to both the direction of the axis 101a of the auger rod 101 and the protruding direction of the excavating blade 102.

  According to the above configuration, when the solidifying material (for example, a cement-like slurry-like solidifying material) 105 is discharged from the tip of the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 toward the obliquely downward direction that is the inclination direction of the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104, The ground (soil) 106 is softened to some extent by the discharge pressure. Then, the auger rod 101 is rotated around its axis 101 a to rotate the excavating blade 102 (excavation bit 103), and the auger rod 101 is moved downward to excavate the ground 106. Since the ground 106 has been softened to some extent by the discharge of the solidifying material 105, the rotational torque applied to the auger rod 101 can be reduced by the softened amount.

JP 2000-17650 A

  In the conventional ground improvement device 100 described above, the rotational torque applied to the auger rod 101 can be reduced by an amount corresponding to the softening of the ground 106 by discharging the solidifying material 105 from the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104. However, the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 is attached closer to the tip of the auger rod 101 than the excavation bit 103. For this reason, in a state where the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 has not yet reached the ground 106, the solidifying material 105 is discharged toward the surface of the ground 106, and the ground 106 is softened prior to the excavating blade 102 by the solidifying material 105. . However, when the auger rod 101 penetrates into the ground 106 until the solidifying material discharge nozzle 104 enters the ground 106 (downward movement), as shown by the phantom line in FIG. The solidifying material 105 is discharged to the peripheral surface 107a of the perforation 107 formed by a bit.

  Thus, when the solidifying material 105 is discharged to the peripheral surface 107a of the perforation 107 formed by the tip bit, even if the solidifying material 105 is discharged obliquely downward, the auger rod 101 is the center. The reach range of the solidified material 105 becomes narrower, and the range to be softened in advance in the ground 106 excavated by the excavating blades 102 becomes narrower. In other words, since the unsoftened range becomes wider, it is necessary to rotate the excavating blade 102 by increasing the rotational torque applied to the auger rod 101 correspondingly.

  In this case, the drive device for driving the auger rod 101 around the axis 101a must be enlarged, and the cost (manufacturing cost and running cost) increases accordingly.

  Then, in view of the said subject, this invention aims at provision of the ground improvement apparatus and ground improvement construction method which can suppress a raise of cost.

  The ground improvement device of the present invention includes an auger rod formed in a hollow cross section, an excavation blade attached to the tip end side of the auger rod so as to protrude radially outward intersecting the axial direction of the auger rod, A plurality of excavation bits attached to the excavation blade, and a discharge means for discharging the solidified material provided to the auger rod and sent to the inside of the auger rod to the outside of the auger rod, The tip protrudes downward from the excavating blade, and is disposed at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction along the radially outer side. The discharge means includes a passage for the solidified material, and the passage is provided with an auger rod. Inclined with respect to both the axial direction and the projecting direction of the excavating blade, and the radially outer end of the auger rod in the passage is used as a discharge port for the solidified material. under It is characterized in matching, yet it is located upward than the tip of the drill bit.

  In the above configuration, when the auger rod rotates around its axis, the excavation blade attached to the auger rod, the excavation bit attached to the excavation blade, and the discharge means rotate around the axis, and the solidified material is the auger rod. From the inside to the passage of the discharge means, it is discharged obliquely downward from its discharge port, and when the auger rod moves downward while rotating around its axis, the auger rod is sequentially penetrated into the ground and the excavating blades are moved around the axis By rotating, the ground is excavated by the excavation bit.

  The passage of the solidified material is inclined with respect to both the axial direction of the auger rod and the protruding direction of the excavating blade, and the discharge port of the solidified material is below the excavating blade, and the tip of the excavating bit Therefore, the solidified material is directly discharged to the ground to be excavated by the rotational contact of the excavation bit, and the ground is softened.

  In the ground improvement device of the present invention, the discharge means is a nozzle attached to an attachment hole formed in the peripheral wall of the auger rod, and the passage is formed at the center in the radial direction of the nozzle and in the entire longitudinal direction of the nozzle. Can be adopted. According to this configuration, the solidified material passes through the passage of the nozzle from the inside of the auger rod and is discharged obliquely downward from the discharge port.

  The present invention is a ground improvement method for improving the ground using any of the ground improvement devices described above, in the state of softening the ground by discharging the solidification material from the discharge port of the discharge means, around the axis It is characterized by excavating the ground with an excavating bit that rotates in a straight line.

  According to the above ground improvement method, since the solidified material is discharged directly to the ground to be excavated by the rotational contact of the excavation bit and the ground is softened, the rotational torque applied to the excavating blade is reduced accordingly. In addition, the ground can be excavated, and the increase in product cost and running cost can be suppressed by the amount that the rotational torque can be set small.

  In the ground improvement device of the present invention, the solidifying material passage is inclined with respect to both the axial direction of the auger rod and the protruding direction of the excavating blade, and the discharge port of the solidifying material is disposed below the excavating blade. In addition, since the solidified material is disposed directly above the tip of the excavation bit, the solidified material is discharged directly to the ground to be excavated by the rotating contact of the excavation bit and softens the ground. The ground can be excavated even if the rotational torque applied to the excavating blades is reduced by the amount, and the increase in product cost and running cost can be suppressed by the amount that the rotational torque can be set small.

  Further, according to the ground improvement method using the ground improvement device of the present invention, the solidified material is discharged directly to the ground to be excavated by the rotating contact of the excavation bit and softens the ground. The ground can be excavated even if the rotational torque applied to the excavating blade is reduced, and the increase in product cost and running cost can be suppressed by the amount that the rotational torque can be set small.

It is a front view showing the relationship between the ground improvement device and the improved body. It is a perspective view from diagonally upward of the ground improvement apparatus. It is a single-piece | unit perspective view of the solidification material discharge part of the ground improvement apparatus. It is a partial plane sectional view mainly drawing the solidification material discharge part of the ground improvement device. It is a conceptual diagram showing the use condition of the conventional ground improvement apparatus.

  Hereinafter, a ground improvement device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the ground improvement device 1 excavates the ground G and stirs and mixes the solidified material S and the soil so that the cylindrical improvement body having a predetermined strength is contained in the ground G. It is for constructing G1.

  The ground improvement device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an auger rod 2 configured to be able to move up and down while rotating around an axis 2a, a drilling blade 3 attached to the distal end side of the auger rod 2, and a drilling blade. 3, a plurality of excavation bits 4 mounted along the edge of the front end of the excavation surface, an anti-rotation vane 5 disposed in the middle of the auger rod 2 above the excavation vane 3, Furthermore, it has the stirring blade 6 arrange | positioned upwards.

  The auger rod 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a flow path 20 for inserting a solidifying material (for example, a cement-based slurry-like solidifying material) S in its interior, the longitudinal direction being the direction of the axis 2a. . The flow path 20 is formed from the upper end to the lower end of the auger rod 2.

  The excavating blade 3 is formed in a plate shape and extends outward in the radial direction perpendicular to the direction of the axis 2 a of the auger rod 2. Excavation blades 3 are provided as a pair by extending backwards opposite to each other via auger rod 2. These excavating blades 3 are integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the auger rod 2. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, each excavation blade 3 is inclined so that its tip side protrudes in the rotation direction. Specifically, the excavation blade 3 is inclined with a depression angle of 30 to 45 ° with respect to the horizontal plane. And the excavation bit 4 is attached to the front end side edge portion 3a at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. The excavation bit 4 is integrally formed so as to be parallel to the inclined surface of the excavation blade 3 and toward the rotation direction of the excavation blade 3.

  The co-rotation preventing wing 5 is formed in a plate shape and is provided so as to be coaxial with the auger rod 2 and to be freely rotatable (relative rotation) with respect to the auger rod 2. It is formed with a larger diameter (longer) than that. With this configuration, the co-rotation preventing wing 5 bites into the soil radially outward of the soil excavated by the excavating wing 3 from above, and therefore does not rotate even when the excavating wing 3 or the stirring wing 6 rotates. To remain stationary. Therefore, the co-rotation between the soil excavated by the excavating blade 3 and the soil stirred by the stirring blade 6 above the co-rotation preventing blade 5 is prevented. The stirring blades 6 are formed in a plate shape, are set to have substantially the same diameter as the excavation blades 3, and are attached to the auger rod 2 in a form inclined in the same direction as the stirring blades 6.

  A solidified material discharge portion 7 communicating with the flow path 20 of the solidified material S is detachably attached to the distal end portion of the auger rod 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the solidifying material discharge section 7 includes a bottomed cylindrical discharge section main body 8, a pointed tip bit 9 fixed to the tip of the discharge section main body 8, and a discharge nozzle 10 that is a discharge means. With. A male screw 11 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the discharge portion main body 8, and is detachably screwed with a female screw (not shown) formed on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the auger rod 2. As shown in FIG. 5, nozzle mounting holes 12 are formed in the outer peripheral wall of the discharge section main body 8 at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction (in this embodiment, at intervals of 45 °). Further, each nozzle mounting hole 12 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the discharge unit main body 8 in a plan view so as to avoid a position corresponding to the excavation blade 3 (at a position shifted from the excavation blade 3). . These nozzle mounting holes 12 are formed along a radial direction centered on the axis 2 a in the plan view projection state of the solidifying material discharge portion 7.

  In the present embodiment, the nozzle mounting holes 12 are formed at four locations separated in the circumferential direction. Each nozzle mounting hole 12 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the outer side in the radial direction with respect to the thickness direction (radial direction) of the outer peripheral wall of the discharge section main body 8. Furthermore, an internal thread for mounting the discharge nozzle 10 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of each nozzle mounting hole 12.

  The discharge nozzle 10 is mounted in each nozzle mounting hole 12 and is formed in a cylindrical shape provided with a passage 13 for the solidifying material S communicating with the flow path 20 in the interior along the longitudinal direction. A male screw 10 a that is screwed into a female screw formed on the inner peripheral surface of the nozzle mounting hole 12 is formed on the base end side outer peripheral surface of the discharge nozzle 10. The tip (inclined lower end) of the passage 13 is a discharge port 14 for the solidified material S. In the discharge nozzle 10, the base end surface including the inlet 13 a of the passage 13 is mounted in the nozzle mounting hole 12 so as not to protrude from the inner peripheral surface of the discharge section main body 8 toward the flow path 20. In the discharge nozzle 10, the tip surface including the discharge port 14 is mounted in the nozzle mounting hole 12 so as not to protrude radially outward of the discharge unit body 8 from the outer peripheral surface of the discharge unit body 8. Further, the discharge nozzle 10 is inclined with respect to the direction of the axis 2a of the auger rod 2 (discharge portion main body 8), so that the passage 13 is directed to both the direction of the axis 2a of the auger rod 2 and the protruding direction of the excavating blade 3. It is inclined.

  In the present embodiment, the diameter of the passage 13 of the discharge nozzle 10 is set between 4.0 and 7.0 mm. The discharge pressure of the solidified material S from the discharge nozzle 10 is set to 0.5 to 1.5 MPa (also referred to as “medium pressure” which is lower than the high pressure and higher than the low pressure). Further, the inclination angle of the discharge nozzle 10 (passage 13) is set to 25 ° to 65 ° with respect to the axis 2a and 25 ° to 65 ° with respect to the extending direction of the excavating blade 3 perpendicular to the axis 2a. In other words, it is between the axis 2a and the extending direction of the excavating blade 3, and is set to an inclination of 45 ° ± 20 ° with respect to the axis 2a.

  With the solidified material discharge portion 7 attached to the tip of the auger rod 2, the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10 is below the excavation blade 3, and the tip (lower end) 4 a of the excavation bit 4. It is arrange | positioned upwards compared with. The tip bit 9 is formed in a triangular shape when viewed from the side, and the tip 90 formed at the lower end of the tip bit 9 is positioned lower than the tip 4a of the excavation bit 4 (FIG. 1). reference).

  As a ground improvement method using the ground improvement device 1 of the present embodiment, the ground G is formed simultaneously with excavation by excavating the ground G to a predetermined depth while discharging the solidified material S from the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10. An example is a method of forming the improved body G1 by mixing the soil and the solidified material S and then pulling out the auger rod 2 in the reverse direction.

  The ground improvement method according to the present embodiment is performed by continuously discharging the solidified material S from the discharge nozzle 10 when excavating the ground G in the above-described method. More specifically, in the ground improvement device 1 having the above-described configuration, the auger rod 2 is erected so that the axis 2a thereof is vertical, and the solidified material S is discharged from the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10. The auger rod 2 is inserted into the ground G, and the excavation bit 4 of the excavating blade 3 that rotates as the auger rod 2 rotates is brought into contact with the ground G. In this way, the ground G is excavated, and the solidified material S is mixed and stirred with the soil by the rotation of the stirring blade 6, whereby the improved body G <b> 1 is formed in the ground G.

  According to the ground improvement method of the present embodiment, the ground G on which the solidified material S is discharged is softened in advance by discharging the solidified material S from the discharge nozzle 10 at medium pressure. Then, when the stirring blade 6 rotates, the soil of the softened ground G and the solidified material S are stirred so as to be mixed. For this reason, the agitation (mixability) of the soil and the solidifying material S is improved. If the stirrability of the soil and the solidifying material S is improved, the quality of the formed improved body G1 can be improved. In addition, since the ground G is softened in advance, the stirring efficiency is also improved.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the discharge nozzle 10 is provided with the passage 13 of the solidified material S inside the longitudinal direction, and the passage 13 of the discharge nozzle 10 is in the direction of the axis 2a of the auger rod 2 and the excavation blade 3. Inclined with respect to both the projecting directions, the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10 is located below the excavation blade 3 and further above the tip 4 a of the excavation bit 4.

  For this reason, it becomes possible to discharge the solidification material S to the upper surface G2 side of the ground G in the planned area in a circular plan view to be excavated by the excavation bit 4. In other words, in the ground G, the solidified material S is discharged to a region outside the inner peripheral surface 70a of the drilling 70 formed by excavation with the tip bit 9 in advance (the surface where the excavation bit 4 will contact). (See FIG. 1).

  If it becomes so, the ground G of the said area | region will be softened with the pressure by the part for which the solidification material S was discharged. This region includes a portion to be excavated from the excavation bit 4 from now on, that is, a predetermined region. For this reason, the rotational torque provided to the auger rod 2 can be reduced by the softened amount. Further, the penetration input of the auger rod 2 can be reduced by the amount of the solidified material S discharged and the ground G softened. In this case, there is no need to increase the size of the drive device for rotating the auger rod 2 around the axis 2a or the drive device for penetrating the auger rod 2 into the ground G.

  That is, it is not necessary to make the equipment such as a pump for pumping the solidified material S to the discharge nozzle 10 special. For this reason, the manufacturing cost of the ground improvement apparatus 1 does not increase. Further, since it is possible to prevent an excessive force from acting on the drive device (equipment such as a pump), a failure is also suppressed, and therefore maintenance for these drive devices is easy.

  Further, the load on the excavation bit 4 itself attached to the excavation blade 3 is reduced. As a result, the amount of wear of the excavation bit 4 is reduced, so that the exchanging frequency of the excavation bit 4 can be reduced, and the workability can be improved accordingly.

  In addition, since the planned area to be excavated by the excavation bit 4 is softened by the discharge of the solidified material S, excavation of the ground G itself becomes easy, and therefore the excavation of the ground G can be performed smoothly. . And if excavation of the ground G becomes smooth, the operation | work for forming only the required improvement body G1 in a required place can be performed in a short time, and a yield can be improved.

  The discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10 is disposed below the excavation blade 3 and is disposed above the tip 4 a of the excavation bit 4. Thus, the solidified material S discharged from the discharge port 14 is disposed at a position unnecessary for the formation of the improved body G1 (on the excavation bit 4) as much as the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10 is arranged as high as possible. On the other hand, it is difficult to reach the lower side. That is, it is possible to suppress the waste of the amount of the solidifying material S by that amount.

  The ground G may be buried with underground obstacles (concrete, brick, gravel, etc.). However, the discharge port 14 of the discharge nozzle 10 is located below the excavation blade 3 and further above the tip 4 a of the excavation bit 4. And it is above the tip bit 9. For this reason, the excavation bit 4 and the tip bit 9 rotate to crush or remove the underground obstacle, so that the discharge nozzle 10 can be prevented from being damaged by the underground obstacle. Can be protected. If the discharge nozzle 10 can be protected, the replacement frequency of the discharge nozzle 10 is reduced accordingly, or maintenance is facilitated.

  By the way, the range of the region where the solidification material S is discharged includes the discharge pressure of the solidification material S from the discharge nozzle 10, the inclination angle of the discharge nozzle 10 (passage 13), and the position where the discharge nozzle 10 is attached to the discharge portion body 8. , Determined by the discharge pressure from the discharge nozzle 10. That is, if the inclination angle of the discharge nozzle 10 from the axis 2a is large (the inclination angle from the excavating blade 3 is small) and the attachment position to the discharge portion main body 8 is at a high position, the solidified material S is correspondingly increased. The perforation 70 can reach a position far from the inner peripheral surface 70a.

  In the present embodiment, the discharge pressure of the solidification material S from the discharge nozzle 10 so that the solidification material S discharged from the discharge nozzle 10 can reach a position that substantially matches the diameter of the improved body G1 to be formed. The inclination angle of the discharge nozzle 10 and the attachment position of the discharge nozzle 10 to the discharge unit main body 8 are determined. And the solidification material S discharged from the discharge nozzle 10 is made to reach the position which substantially coincides with the diameter of the improved body G1 to be formed, so that the solidification material S does not reach the unnecessary range (the solidification material S is From the range of the diameter of the improved body G1 to be formed, it is possible to form the improved body G1 having the required diameter and having the required strength.

  In the present embodiment, specifically, the discharge pressure of the solidified material S from each discharge nozzle 10 is set to 0.5 to 1.5 MPa, and the solidified material S is discharged to the ground G. Further, the inclination angle of the discharge nozzle 10 is set to 25 ° to 65 ° with respect to the axis 2a and 25 ° to 65 ° with respect to the extending direction of the excavating blade 3 perpendicular to the axis 2a. The discharge nozzle 10 has a discharge port 14 disposed below the excavation blade 3 and disposed above the tip 4 a of the excavation bit 4. By doing in this way, it is made to make the solidification material S reach | attain to the position which substantially corresponds to the diameter of the improvement body G1 to form, and the solidification material S does not reach an unnecessary range (improvement to form) It can be accommodated within the area of the diameter of the body G1). Therefore, it is possible to form an improved body G1 having a required diameter and having a required strength.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the discharge pressure of the solidified material S from each discharge nozzle 10 is set to 0.5 to 1.5 MPa, and the solidified material S is discharged to the ground G. Without increasing the capacity of the pump, the ground G to be excavated from now on can be softened, and as a result, an increase in manufacturing cost and running cost can be suppressed.

  In this embodiment, the discharge capacity of a pump (not shown) for pumping the solidified material S to the flow path 20 and discharging it from the discharge nozzle 10 is set to 400 L / min at the maximum. Accordingly, the water cement ratio of the solidified material S and the penetration speed (construction speed) of the auger rod 2 are adjusted so as not to exceed the discharge capacity.

  The ground improvement device 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can take various forms within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the discharge nozzles 10 are arranged at four locations in the circumferential direction of the discharge unit main body 8 has been described. However, the discharge nozzle 10 may be configured to be arranged at three or two equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the discharge section main body 8.

  In the above embodiment, the discharge nozzle 10 is used as the discharge means. However, a solidifying material discharge hole having the same inclination as the nozzle mounting hole 12 and the same diameter as the passage 13 is formed at the position where the nozzle mounting hole 12 is formed, and the solidifying material discharge hole is discharged without using the discharge nozzle 10. It can also be used as a means. In this case, an internal thread is not formed on the inner peripheral surface of the solidifying material discharge hole.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the male screw 11 was formed in the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the discharge part main body 8, and the example detachably screwed with the female screw formed in the front-end | tip part internal peripheral surface of the auger rod 2 was shown. However, since the auger rod 2 rotates about the axis 2a, there is a concern that the rotation of the auger rod 2 may loosen the screw engagement between the auger rod 2 and the solidified material discharge portion 7 (discharge portion main body 8). In addition to screwing the screws together, it is also conceivable to securely fix the solidified material discharge portion 7 to the auger rod 2 by inserting a retaining rod into the auger rod 2 and the solidified material discharge portion 7.

  Or the attachment method of the discharge part main body 8 with respect to the auger rod 2 is not limited to the mounting | wearing by screwing of screws. For example, a key is formed on one of the auger rod 2 and the solidifying material discharge part 7 and a key groove is formed on the other, and the solidifying material discharge part 7 is attached to the auger rod 2 by fitting the key and the key groove, or In addition to the key and the key groove, it is also conceivable to securely fix the solidifying material discharge portion 7 to the auger rod 2 by inserting the retaining rod into the auger rod 2 and the solidifying material discharge portion 7.

  In the above embodiment, the solidified material discharge part 7 attached to the tip of the auger rod 2 includes a bottomed cylindrical discharge part main body 8, a pointed tip bit 9 fixed to the tip of the discharge part main body 8, It was set as the structure provided with the discharge nozzle 10 which is a discharge means. However, a member (for example, a check valve) that forms the discharge portion main body 8 in a cylindrical shape and opens in a hole (not shown) formed in the tip thereof without applying special pressure as in the prior art. And the solidifying material S can be discharged into the soil from the opening of the member. When the member is used, the discharge nozzle 10 is removed and the nozzle mounting hole 12 is closed. By doing in this way, it can be used as the ground improvement apparatus 1 which discharged the solidification material S to the orthogonal | vertical direction (downward).

  The excavation bit 4 is not limited to the present embodiment, and may be, for example, a conical blade or a pyramid-shaped blade. Moreover, the excavation bit 4 can employ | adopt various structures which can be removed freely. Further, the excavation blade 3 is not limited to a plate-like one as in the above embodiment, and may be one that is spirally curved.

  The ground improvement method of the present invention is not limited to the above-described mode. For example, the solidified material S is discharged intermittently during excavation, or the discharge is activated according to the hardness of the ground G. It is also possible to stop.
