  Next, a procedure for performing ground improvement work with the ground improvement machine 11 using the rod driving device 17 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 6, at the stage of completion of preparation in which the rod driving device 17 is raised to the top of the reader 15, the square shaft member 26 located at the center in the length direction of the rod 22 is rotated by the rod driving device 17. The chuck release cylinder 35e of the chuck portion 35 and the anti-shake cylinder 47 of the anti-shake operation release means 37 are both in a non-actuated state and are in a contracted state. As a result of the action of 35c, the half chuck plates 35b, 35b are engaged with the groove 26a provided in the square shaft member 26, and the pushing member 43 urged by the spring member 44 is lowered, so that the rod anti-vibration member The contact portion 42a of 42 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rod 22 protruding upward from the insertion engagement hole 34a.

  In this state, the rotating hydraulic motor 31 is operated to rotate the rod 22, the lifting hydraulic motor 18 is operated to lower the rod driving device 17 along the reader 15, and the swivel joint 21 is moved into the rod 22. A ground improvement agent is supplied to the excavation head 20 through the flow path 22a. As a result, the excavation and stirring stage in which the excavation head 20 is pushed into the ground while stirring the earth and sand excavated by the excavation blade 20a and the supplied ground improver with the stirring blade 20b is performed. At this time, the half chuck plate 35b and the rod retaining member 42 rotate integrally with the rod rotating portion 34, and the half chuck plate 35b moves the rod 22 downward together with the rod driving device 17 to move the excavation head 20 together. Pushing into the ground, the rod bracing member 42 holds the rod 22 protruding long upward from the rod rotating portion 34 and suppresses the upper half portion of the rod 22 from swinging, so that a large razor movement occurs. Can be prevented.

  When the rod driving device 17 is lowered to the lower end of the reader 15, the rotation hydraulic motor 31 and the lifting hydraulic motor 18 are stopped and the lower guide 19 is operated so that the portion below the groove 26 a of the square shaft member 26 is lowered. After gripping with the guide 19, the chuck release cylinder 35e and the anti-shock cylinder 47 are operated, the chuck release member 35f is lowered by the chuck release cylinder 35e, and the half chuck plates 35b and 35b are opened via the arcuate member 35d. In this state, the engagement state with the groove portion 26a is released, and the pushing member 43 is lifted by the shaking releasing cylinder 47 so that the upper pushing plate 43a is separated from the pushing portion 42b. And the contact portion 42a is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the rod 22.

  In this state, the lifting hydraulic motor 18 is reversely rotated to raise the rod driving device 17, and the square shaft member 26 positioned at the upper end portion of the rod 22 is inserted into the insertion engaging hole 34 a of the rod driving device 17 and engaged. After the state, the chuck release cylinder 35e is contracted to engage the half chuck plates 35b and 35b with the groove 26a, and the lower guide 19 is deactivated to release the gripping state of the square shaft member 26. As described above, when the rod driving device 17 rotates the upper end portion of the rod 22, the upper portion of the rod 22 hardly protrudes upward from the rod driving device 17, and it is necessary to hold the rod 22 with the rod bracing member 42. Therefore, the contact portion 42a of the rod anti-vibration member 42 can be kept away from the outer peripheral surface of the rod 22.

  The rotating hydraulic motor 31 and the lifting hydraulic motor 18 are actuated again, the rod driving device 17 is lowered while rotating the excavation head 20, and the ground improver is supplied, and the same excavation and agitation is resumed. When the excavation head 20 reaches a predetermined depth, the lifting / lowering hydraulic motor 18 is reversely rotated while the rod 22 is rotated, and the rod driving device 17 is lifted while the excavation head 20 continues to agitate the soil and ground improvement agent. Let

  When the rod driving device 17 is moved up to the upper end of the reader 15, the rotary hydraulic motor 31 and the lifting hydraulic motor 18 are stopped and the rod 22 is held by the lower guide 19 and then the half chuck plates 35b and 35b are opened. After that, the rod driving device 17 is lowered, and the rectangular shaft member 26 at the center in the length direction of the rod 22 is inserted into the insertion engagement hole 34a. Next, the chuck releasing cylinder 35e of the chuck portion 35 and the anti-shock cylinder 47 of the anti-shock operation releasing means 37 are deactivated, the half chuck plates 35b and 35b are closed and engaged with the groove 26a, and the spring member. The abutting portion 42 a of the rod anti-vibration member 42 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rod 22 by the pressing member 43 biased by 44.

  The rotary hydraulic motor 31 and the lift hydraulic motor 18 are actuated again, the rod driving device 17 is raised while rotating the excavating head 20, and the excavating head 20 is pulled up to the ground while stirring the earth and ground improvement agent. Return to the state shown in FIG. At this time, the upper half of the rod 22 protrudes greatly above the rod driving device 17, but the rod 22 is held by the rod bracing member 42. It is possible to prevent the slashing movement from occurring by suppressing the half part from shaking.

  As described above, when the upper portion of the rod 22 protrudes largely upward from the rod rotating portion 34 of the rod driving device 17, the rod 22 is held by the rod bracing means 36 provided on the upper portion of the rod rotating portion 34. Thereby, it can suppress that the upper part of the rod 22 shakes and a slashing motion generate | occur | produces. As a result, the durability of the rod 22 is not lowered, the ground improvement work can be performed in a stable state, and the accompanying prevention member 23 and the grout hose 24 are not damaged. Further, the rod 22 is divided into a portion to be rotated, a portion for restricting movement in the axial direction, and a portion for suppressing upper deflection, so that the rod 22 is tightened at one place. Thus, the position where the force is applied to the rod 22 is dispersed, and the durability of the rod 22 can be improved.

  Further, since the rod anti-vibration means 36 is provided in the upper part of the rod rotating portion 34 so that the rod 22 and the rod anti-vibration member 42 rotate integrally, the holding by the rod anti-vibration member 42 is effective for the rotation of the rod 22. There is no influence. Further, since the anti-vibration operation release means 37 is provided in the non-rotating drive device main body 33, hydraulic piping to the anti-vibration release cylinder 47 can be easily performed, and the rod anti-vibration member 42 is attached together. Since the rotating spring member 44 is operated by an urging force, the swinging operation can be performed without providing the rotating portion of the cylinder or the hydraulic piping.

  In addition, the rod rotation part and chuck | zipper part in a rod drive device can employ | adopt the same structure as the past, and can also rotate a solid rod with pile driving machines other than a ground improvement machine. Further, the rod anti-rest member can be deactivated by the anti-detent cylinder, and the rod anti-vibration member can be displaced in a similar manner between the operating state and the non-operating state by an appropriate cam mechanism. The rod bracing member can be brought into contact with the square shaft portion.
