Description

The present invention relates to a technique for pulling out an existing longitudinal member from its installation site.

Longitudinal members (e.g., columns, piles, beams, etc.) are fixed to supporting parts (e.g., ground, walls) as one member that constitutes the structure, or as a member separate from the structure and its Longitudinal members are fixed to support portions in applications such as supporting a structure at a position raised above a reference surface (eg, the ground or a wall surface). In the latter case, the structure is supported by longitudinal members fixed to supports.

Here, the "longitudinal member" is classified into, for example, hollow and solid as a cross-sectional structure, as metal and concrete as a material classification, and as a morphological classification such as a bar, shaft, There are pipes and tubes, and there are functional categories such as columns, piles and beams, and reinforcing bars (reinforcing bars). In any case, the "longitudinal member" may be an existing buried body, a ready-made member, or a member constructed on site.

Also, the "support" is, for example, soil or a wall. If the "support" is soil, the "longitudinal member" is, for example, a pillar or stake. Also, when the "supporting part" is a wall, the "longitudinal member" is, for example, a beam.

Taking a parking lot as an example, these structural members will be explained in detail. Examples of "longitudinal members" include a power supply pole (an example of a "pillar") that supports electric parts such as lights at a position floating above the ground, There is one or a plurality of pillars (an example of a pillar) that supports a signboard that displays toll information and the like at a position raised above the ground.

The structural members are anchored to the ground (an example of a "support") at their respective lower ends. A concrete foundation is buried in the ground. In this case, the lower ends of the structural members are embedded and fixed in a concrete foundation.

There are two types of construction methods for fixing longitudinal members to the ground: the driving method and the embedding method.

The driving method is a construction method in which ready-made longitudinal members (for example, ready-made piles and ready-made columns) are driven into the ground by the striking force of a hammer without drilling a pilot hole in the soil in advance.

On the other hand, the embedding method is a construction method in which the ground is excavated to a predetermined depth to create a pilot hole, and a ready-made longitudinal member (for example, a ready-made pile or a ready-made column) is inserted into the hole. As the embedding method, there is a method called a root wrapping method (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This neck-wrapping method is, for example, a method of constructing an enlarged concrete bulb at the lower end of a longitudinal member. In this case, the enlarged bulb, that is, the root-wound portion or the foot protection portion may or may not be constructed using reinforcing bars.

According to this root wrapping method, a pilot hole is excavated in advance in the ground, and crushed stone is put into the bottom of the pilot hole and tamped down. Next, insert a post into the prepared hole, and use a temporary brace or the like to set the post straight so that it does not tip over. After that, ready-mixed concrete is poured into the pilot hole so as to surround the perimeter of the support. The ready-mixed concrete is then allowed to set, thereby fixing the stanchion.

For example, as disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, a longitudinal member fixedly installed on the ground cannot be permanently installed in the same place. may suddenly be required by the landlord to remove the longitudinal members from the installation site and reclaim the installation site.

On the other hand, the longitudinal members are firmly fixed to the ground by using concrete foundations (for example, with high pull-out resistance (resistance when the longitudinal members are pulled out from the foundation)). Sometimes. In this case, it may be required to spend a lot of labor (man-hours, construction period, etc.) and costs (work costs, equipment costs, etc.) to remove the longitudinal member.

Such circumstances exist, for example, in the field of parking lot management.

Specifically, when land owned by a landlord may or is scheduled to be sold, the land becomes idle or vacant until the sale. Therefore, in some cases, the landlord temporarily manages the parking lot by using the land in order to obtain rental income by renting the land to the user as a parking lot until the land is sold. In this case, the landlord may outsource the management of the parking lot to a specialized parking lot operator (or parking lot management company, etc.).

In this case, if the landlord decides to use the land for another purpose or sell it, the landlord will request the parking lot operator to return the land to vacant land. . In order to meet this demand, the parking lot operator needs to remove from the land the various facilities installed on the land for parking lot management.

At this time, it is desirable for the parking lot operator to be able to perform the removal work with as little labor as possible, in a short time, and at a low cost.

By the way, throughout this specification, the term "pulling out" is used as a term that means an operation of pulling an object in a target to which it is attached in a direction in which the object is separated from the target. be.

However, there is a word "pull out" in that term, which is a word that means that an object leaves or separates from an object. As such, when the term "withdraw" is used, it can be narrowly interpreted to imply that the object leaves the object.

However, depending on the context, the term may be used to refer to an action that pulls an object within an object in the direction that the object leaves the object, whether or not the object eventually leaves the object. may be interpreted broadly.

On the other hand, it is possible to clearly distinguish the event that the object finally leaves the object due to the action of pulling the object in the object in the direction in which the object leaves the object from other events. The term "completely withdraw" is sometimes used where necessary.

Also, the axial force applied to the longitudinal member to withdraw it from its installation site may be defined as the force pushing the longitudinal member or the force pulling the longitudinal member. This is because regardless of whether the axial force applied to the longitudinal member is a pushing force or a pulling force, the longitudinal member is still pulled out from the supporting portion or the base portion.

Prior art techniques for removing an elongated member by pulling it out of its place of installation are disclosed in US Pat.

US Pat. No. 5,400,001 discloses a technique for pulling a column (an example of a "longitudinal member") from the soil together with the base in which it is buried.

Specifically, according to this technique, first, a plurality of metal tips are welded to the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the column body, which is exposed from the base portion. An extraction wire is then hooked onto the metal tips. The tip of the wire is then lifted using a heavy machine such as a crane, thereby pulling the column together with its surrounding foundation from the ground.

Patent Document 2 describes a method for extracting a steel material (an example of a "longitudinal member") from the ground, including (a) a method of directly extracting the steel material using a hydraulic or vibration extractor, and A method of interposing various lubricating materials as edging to weaken the pull-out yield strength (resistive force when the steel material is pulled out), and then pulling out the steel material under such conditions; and (c) a method of using a crushing agent. is disclosed.

Patent Literature 3 discloses a method of inserting inclusions between the steel material and the cement-based hardened material to reduce the pull-out resistance of the steel material (an example of a "longitudinal member") at the installation stage.

Specifically, according to this technique, before the steel material is inserted into the cementitious hardened material before hardening, the alkali component in the cementitious hardened material is added to the portion of the steel material that comes into contact with the cementitious hardened material. A resin coating that is degraded by the alkaline component is applied, whereby the resin coating is degraded by the alkaline component, thereby facilitating the extraction of the steel material.

Patent Literature 4 discloses a method for removing an already buried pile (an example of a "longitudinal member"). Specifically, this is a method of hollowing out the periphery of the pile together with the ground, cutting the edge between the ground and the pile, and pulling out the pile from the soil with the soil adhering to it.

Patent documents 5-7 disclose prior art chucks that are attached to longitudinal members in order to extract them from their installation locations.
exist.

Patent Document 5 discloses a chuck that holds a stake (an example of a "longitudinal member") by diametrically opposite sides of the stake between a pair of jaws.

The pair of jaws are arranged at different positions in the axial direction so as to sandwich the pile in a holding state in which they hold the pile so as to be offset from each other in a side view. Furthermore, the chuck is lifted by the hoist together with the pile in the holding state, whereby the pile is pulled out of the ground or the like.

In Patent Document 6, three chuck claws arranged at equal angular intervals in a plan view are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of a pillar (an example of a "longitudinal member") using the principle of a wedge, whereby the pillar is moved. A gripping chuck is disclosed.

In Patent Document 7, two or four divided bodies arranged at equal angular intervals in a plan view are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of a reinforcing bar (an example of a "longitudinal member") using the wedge principle. discloses a chuck for gripping a

Regardless of whether the method of construction selectively implemented to secure the longitudinal member to the ground, wall or foundation is the above-mentioned driving method or the embedding method, such existing longitudinal member shall be fixed to the ground, wall or foundation. In order to pull out from the base portion, the present inventor set the following problems.

You can get the effect of becoming

2. To facilitate removal of a longitudinal member with simple work and equipment.

If the work and equipment necessary for removing the longitudinal member are simplified, the effect of reducing the work burden on the worker and reducing the work cost can be obtained.

3. To reduce traces of removal work remaining on a removed longitudinal member.

If traces of the removal work remain on the removed longitudinal member can be reduced, it will be possible to reuse the removed longitudinal member within a range that does not hinder the effective use of resources and the reduction of equipment costs.

Below, some of the more specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a post extraction system (an example of a "longitudinal member extraction system", hereinafter referred to as the "system") 10 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

<<Use of System>>

As shown in the figure, this system 10 is used to remove an existing column (an example of a "longitudinal member") 12 from its installation site.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, this system 10 is an existing column 12 and a foundation 14 (for example, made of concrete, mortar, cement as a main component), which is buried in the ground. It is used to pull out and remove an object buried in a material such as a material containing

<<Basic configuration of the system>>

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3-7, the system 10 includes a chuck 20 that grips the post 12 non-invasively and in a circumferential elastic clamping manner, and an operation of attaching the chuck 20 to the post 12. a base unit 24 for preventing the base portion 14 from rising together with the column 12 during the extraction operation of the column 12; and a jack 26 for applying an axial force of 1 to the column 12 via the chuck 20 .

The system 10 further includes a hoist 30 that additionally applies an axial force to the column 12 via the chuck 20 to pull the column 12 from the base 14, and the hoist 30 is installed, for example, in a suspended state. A multi-tiered scaffolding 32 is provided.

In this system 10, as shown in FIGS. 1, 5 and 11, the external load acting on the chuck 20 to extract the post 12 acts in a linear direction offset from the axis of the post 12. Concentrated eccentric load.

<<Multiple tasks to be achieved by the system>>

1. Non-destructive extraction work and low vibration/noise

In this embodiment, the column body 12 is removed from the base portion 14 without using a heavy machine such as a small crane for the extraction work, and without the need to destroy the base portion 14 using a vibrating tool or the like. pull out from Further, the column 12 is pulled out from the base portion 14 without applying an impact load to the column 12. - 特許庁As a result, the extraction work and the accompanying equipment removal work will be non-destructive work, and the work will be carried out with low vibration and low noise so as not to disturb local residents.

2. Reduction of labor required for work (man-hours and construction period)

In this embodiment, the column body 12 is pulled out from the base portion 14 without the need to bring large equipment or heavy machinery into the site and destroy the base portion 14 . Furthermore, the equipment required for the work is disassembled and assembled to reduce the space occupied in the transport vehicle during loading and unloading, facilitating the work. This reduces the labor required for the overall removal work, including the extraction work.

3. Simplification of work and equipment and reduction of work costs

In this embodiment, no special equipment or large equipment is used, for example, a hand-held manual lifting machine, lifting machine or lifting machine (for example, manual jack 26, manual hoist 30, etc.) Alternatively, the column 12 is pulled out using a chuck 20 that can be disassembled and assembled on site. This facilitates simplification of work and equipment and reduction of work costs.

4. Reuse of pulled columns

In this embodiment, the column 12 is pulled out by the chuck 20 in a non-invasive manner, that is, without leaving an unrepairable mark such as an indentation on the column 12 after extraction. Since the column 12 is extracted non-invasively, the same column 12 can be reused at another site without additional repairs, enabling efficient use of resources and reducing equipment costs for another site. is reduced.

<<Basic structure of chuck>>

<Basic principle>

Schematically, the chuck 20 applies at least the axial force to the column 12 out of the axial force and the rotational force in the application of pulling out the existing column 12 from its installation place (the base portion 14 in the example shown in the figure). is removably, elastically and non-invasively attached to the post 12 for quasi-static application of .

<Contact layer>

The chuck 20 has elasticity in at least the radial direction (at least the former of radial elasticity (compression elasticity) and lengthwise elasticity (bending elasticity)) and a cylindrical contact layer 40 having a soft material at least in the surface layer. (described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17). The "cylindrical contact layer" is configured as a cylindrical contact surface or a cylindrical contact surface when the post 12 is a column or cylinder.

The chuck 20 is configured such that the contact layer 40 extends substantially all around the outer peripheral surface of the column 12 (or partially or locally in a region shorter than one circumference of the outer peripheral surface). 2) is configured to elastically contact the outer peripheral surface of the column 12 in a compressed state in a surrounding state.

Thereby, the chuck 20 is configured to non-invasively grip the post 12 by clamping the post 12 within its elastic range so as to leave substantially no impressions on its outer peripheral surface. be. Therefore, this chuck 20 can be called an "all-round elastic clamping chuck".

<outer frame>

The chuck 20 further includes an outer frame 50 (described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 9-15) that holds the contact layer 40 in back support.

The outer frame 50 is divided into a plurality of divided bodies 52 arranged in the circumferential direction of the column 12 . Each split body 52 is configured as a laminate of a plurality of plates. The plates correspond to each other with respect to thickness and material, but may alternatively have different thicknesses or materials, for example depending on the axial position.

<Clamp mechanism>

In order to assemble the split bodies 52 in a gripping state in which the chuck 20 grips the column 12, the chuck 20 detachably connects the split bodies 52 in the circumferential direction at a plurality of positions in plan view. A clamping mechanism 80 (described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19) is provided.

<<Basic Features of Chuck>>

An important performance of the chuck 20 is that a large frictional force is generated between the inner surface of the chuck 20 and the outer surface of the column 12 relative to the size of the device and the magnitude of the load. On the other hand, in general, frictional force increases as the product of surface friction coefficient, drag (radial stress), and effective contact area.

1. Measures for increasing the surface friction coefficient of the contact layer 40

The contact layer 40 uses a soft material as its surface layer material (for example, the material of the coating layer 42 described later). The soft material includes elastic, synthetic resin, elastomer or rubber.

2. Optional measures to increase the contact area between post 12 and contact layer 40

(1) The contact layer 40 has higher compressive deformation properties than when it is constructed as a single piece of metal, thereby increasing the radial conformability of the contact layer 40 to the outer surface of the column 12. Let For example, the contact layer 40 uses a soft material that is easily crushed and flattened by the load of the radial force from the outer frame 50 .

(2) The contact layer 40 has higher bending deformation properties than if it were constructed as a single piece of metal, thereby increasing the axial conformability of the contact layer 40 to the outer surface of the column 12; Let For example, the contact layer 40 uses a soft material that bends easily under the bending moment load from the jack 26 .

(3) The outer frame 50 includes a low-elastic deformation portion (for example, a small plate 54 described later as a narrow plate) that is easily elastically deformed in the radial direction against a radial force, and a highly elastically deformable portions that are difficult to elastically deform (for example, a large plate 56 described later as a wide plate), respectively, at positions supporting the contact layer 40 from behind and at different axial positions from each other; Thereby, the conformability of the contact layer 40 to the outer surface of the pillar 12 in the axial direction is increased.

(4) The outer frame 50 has a support surface (for example, a plurality of longitudinal grooves 58 described below) that contacts and accommodates the contact layer 40 from behind. The support surface is composed of a first partial support surface (for example, a shallow groove 60 to be described later) corresponding to the low elastic deformation portion and a second partial support surface (for example, a deep groove 62 to be described later) corresponding to the high elastic deformation portion. and Both shallow 60 and deep 62 grooves have distal portions 64 , 66 furthest from contact layer 40 .

As a result, the portion of the contact layer 40 corresponding to the low elastic deformation portion has a larger amount of radial compression in the compressed state than the portion corresponding to the high elastic deformation portion. As a result, the amount of flattening and crushing in the circumferential direction is also increased, thereby increasing the contact area between the pillar 12 and the contact layer 40 .

3. Optional measures to increase the drag force acting on the contact layer 40

(1) When the outer frame 50 is divided into a plurality of divided bodies 52 arranged in the circumferential direction of the column 12, the chuck 20 further connects the plurality of divided bodies 52 to each other and fastens them to the column 12. It includes a first force conversion mechanism that converts a portion of the clamping force acting on the plurality of segments 52 into a radial force to act on the contact layer 40 .

The first force conversion mechanism includes an oblique member (a second circumferential clamping portion, which will be described later) extending in a direction oblique to the tangential direction at the clamping position B in the clamping mechanism 80 . The diagonal member converts a portion of the clamping force acting on the segments 52 when they are connected together and clamped to the column 12 into a radial force. As a result, the drag acting on the contact layer 40 by the outer frame 50 is equalized in the circumferential direction of the contact layer 40, and as a result, the total sum of the drag in the circumferential direction is expected to increase.

(2) The chuck 20 includes a second force conversion mechanism that converts part of the eccentric load into a radial force to act on the contact layer 40 .

The second force conversion mechanism includes the laminated structure of the outer frame 50 .

Specifically, the outer frame 50 is formed not as a block extending in the axial direction of the column 12 but as a laminate, that is, a plurality of plates 54 and 56 extending in a direction transverse to the column 12 are formed as individual plates. It is configured as a laminated body laminated in the axial direction of the column 12 in a state where sliding motion and tilting of the column are allowed.

When the eccentric load acts on the laminated body, sliding deformation and tilting occur in the direction in which the inner end faces of the plurality of plates 54 and 56 fit the axial region of the contact layer 40 . It is presumed that this contributes to the realization of a state in which the laminate is in contact with the axial region of the contact layer 40 over as long a portion as possible. As a result, although the eccentric load acts on the outer frame 50, the drag acting on the contact layer 40 by the outer frame 50 is equalized in the axial direction of the contact layer 40. As a result, the drag in the axial direction It is expected that the summation will increase.

4. Measures to increase the durability of the contact layer 40 when the contact layer 40 uses a soft material as its surface layer material

The contact layer 40 adopts a double structure using metal as a backing plate that supports the soft material from behind.

5. Measures to prevent string-like body 44 described later from unexpectedly falling from vertical groove 58 of chuck 20 before tightening

At least some of the plurality of longitudinal grooves 58 include depth-varying portions whose depth changes in the longitudinal direction thereof. The depth change portion is, for example, a portion where a shallow groove 60 and a deep groove 62 to be described later contact each other in the longitudinal direction of the vertical groove 58 .

The depth-varying portion acts as a retainer that prevents the corresponding string-like body 44 from detaching from the at least one longitudinal groove 58 in the axial direction.

An exemplary and specific component configuration of this chuck 20 will be described in detail later.

<<Jack>>

The system 10 further includes a jack 26 ("first jack 26") that applies an upward force to the chuck 20 to its downward facing surface or other portion to withdraw the post 12 from the base 14 through the chuck 20. an example of “unit”).

The jack 26 employs a manual drive source (driving system), but may employ a fluid or motor drive instead. Also, this jack 26 employs a hydraulic boost system, but instead of this, a lever system, a screw system, a motor system, a compressed air system, or a partial or total combination thereof may be used. may be adopted. In addition, although the jack 26 employs a direct operation method as an operation method, it may employ a remote control method instead.

FIG. 6 shows the jack 26 in side view. A similar jack 26 is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-87767.

The jack 26 has a generally plate-shaped base 90 extending horizontally and a hollow cylindrical (bottle-shaped with a bottom portion on the top) housing 92 erected on the base 90 . A cylinder 94 is disposed within the housing 92, thereby dividing the internal space of the housing 92 into a space within the cylinder 94 and a tank chamber 96 outside the cylinder.

A ram 100 is fluid-tightly and slidably fitted in the inner space of the cylinder 94 , thereby forming a hydraulic chamber 102 between the lower end of the ram 100 and the base 90 or housing 92 . The tank chamber 96 and the hydraulic chamber 102 are filled with a common hydraulic fluid (such as oil).

Ram 100 extends perpendicular to base 90 . The upper end of ram 100 protrudes from housing 92, and ram 100 is engageable with chuck 20 at its protruding end (eg, catch).

Jack 26 also has a pump 104 which is also mounted to base 90 . A plunger 106 is fluid-tightly and slidably fitted to the pump 104 , and a pressure chamber 108 is formed between one end of the plunger 106 and the base 90 . The pressure chamber 108 is fluidly connected to the hydraulic chamber 102 and the tank chamber 96 via a plurality of valve units 110 (eg, a plurality of check valves) that control the direction of hydraulic fluid flow.

The other end of plunger 106 protrudes from pump 104 . Its protruding end is pivotally connected to one end of a socket 114 (e.g., handle sleeve) that is pivotally connected about a pin 112 fixed to housing 92 or base 90 .

A lever 116 (for example, a handle) that is vertically moved by an operator is detachably inserted into the socket 114 . By repeatedly rocking the lever 116 up and down, the operator pressurizes the hydraulic chamber 102 and the pressure in the hydraulic chamber 102 acts on the ram 100 .

When the hydraulic chamber 102 is not pressurized, the ram 100 is in its maximum retracted or lowest position, shown in solid lines in the figure.

On the other hand, when the lever 116 is operated to drive the jack 26 and the hydraulic pressure chamber is pressurized, the ram 100 rises to the maximum extension position indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. It is possible to At this time, the ram 100 applies an upward force as lift to the chuck 20 engaging it. The difference between the highest and lowest ram 100 is the lift.

<<Base unit>>

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the system 10 further includes at least partially removing the base 14 to mechanically prevent the base 14 from lifting out of the soil as the column 12 is withdrawn. A base unit 24 (an example of a “displacement suppressing portion”) is provided so as to cover the base unit 24 .

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the base unit 24 is configured as a breakaway type so that it can be assembled and disassembled on site. The base unit 24 has a hollow structure through which the column 12 can pass through. The base unit 24 has a base that rests on the foundation 14 so as to at least partially cover the foundation 14 .

<<Mounting Jig>>

As exemplified in FIG. 3 , the system 10 further includes an attachment for supporting the chuck 20 from below before assembly for the purpose of assisting the operator in attaching the chuck 20 to the post 12 . A jig 22 is provided. The mounting jig 22 has a hollow structure, contacts the upper surface of the base unit 24 on its lower surface, and supports the lower surface of the chuck 20 on its upper surface.

By using this mounting jig 22, the operator temporarily positions the chuck 20 relative to the column 12 both in the axial direction and the radial direction, and in that state, clamps the clamping mechanism 80 (Fig. 1, FIGS. 18 and 19) are used to clamp the plurality of segments 52 together with the post 12 , thereby assembling the chuck 20 to the post 12 .

This mounting jig 22 may also be configured as a disassembly type so that it can be assembled and disassembled on site.

<<Hoist>>

As exemplified in FIG. 7, the system 10 furthermore allows the post 12 to be partially pulled out from the base 14 due to the insufficient lifting height of the jack 26 alone, although it is possible to pull it out completely. A hoist 30 (or winch) (an example of a "second unit") is provided to apply an additional upward force to the chuck 20 when this is not possible.

The hoist 30 has, for example, a chain block, and is connected to an eyebolt 124 (see FIG. 7) as a connector of the chuck 20 using a chain 120 and a hook 122 connected to the tip of the chain, whereby the chain Rolling up 120 lifts its chuck 20 with post 12 and is thereby used to pull post 12 into and ultimately withdraw from base 14 .

The hoist 30 employs a manual drive source (driving system), but may alternatively employ a motor, hydraulic, compressed air, or partial or total combination thereof. may Further, although the hoist 30 adopts a direct operation type as an operation method, a remote control type may be adopted instead.

<<Multi-tiered scaffolding>>

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the system 10 further includes a plurality of stages of scaffolds 32 on which the hoists 30 are installed in order to raise the installation position of the hoists 30 . A scaffolding 32 indicated by a solid line in FIG. In order to raise the installation position of the hoist 30 further, the scaffolding 32 of the second stage is piled up on the scaffolding 32 of the first stage, as indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. Each scaffold 32 is configured as a breakaway type that can be assembled and disassembled on site.

[Exemplary and specific parts configuration of chuck]

<<outer frame>>

As shown in FIG. 9 in a representative enlarged perspective view of one of the plurality of divided bodies 52 shown in FIG. For example, it is constructed not as a metal block) but as a laminate in which a plurality of plates 54 and 56 extending in a direction transverse to the column 12 are laminated in the axial direction of the column 12 .

As shown in the figure, the plurality of plates 54 and 56 consist of a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) large plates 56 (see FIG. 12) and a plurality of small plates 54 (see FIG. 13). It consists of Regardless of the type, the perimeter of each plate 54, 56 is defined by an inner edge closest to the outer surface of the column 12, an outer edge furthest away, and right and left sides of the center of the column 12. are divided into a right edge and a left edge respectively located at .

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a plurality of small plates 54 are divided into three groups by a plurality of large plates 56, and each group is stacked by two adjacent large plates 56. A plurality of small plates 54 on the sides are sandwiched.

As for the plurality of large plates 56, as shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of through holes are formed in each of the large plates 56 in order to stack and tighten the large plates 56 in a predetermined relative positional relationship. there is Some of these through-holes are formed by a plurality of radial lines extending at equal angles from the center of the chuck 20 (indicated by dashed lines in the figure) so that the tightening force of the plurality of divided bodies 52 is equalized in the circumferential direction. ) is placed above.

A portion of the plurality of through holes are formed in each large plate 56 at a plurality of locations D, E, F, G, H1, H2 and J.

Specifically, for each large plate 56 , two positions D are located at opposite ends of the inner edge of each large plate 56 . Also, for each large plate 56 , one position E is located at the center of the outer edge of each large plate 56 .

Also, one position F for each large plate 56 is positioned substantially at the center of the right edge of each large plate 56 . Also, for each large plate 56, one position G is located approximately in the center of the left edge of each large plate 56, and the position G is related to the distance from the center of the column 12, It is different from position F. That is, the position F and the position G are positioned so as not to exist on a concentric circle.

Also, for each large plate 56, two positions H1 are located at both ends of the outer edge of each large plate 56, respectively. Also, for each large plate 56, two positions H2, like the two positions H1, are respectively located at both ends of the outer edge of each large plate 56, but the positions H2 are located on the pillars. The distance from the center of 12 is different from the position H1.

Also, for each large plate 56 , two locations J are located circumferentially inward of the left pair of locations H 1 and H 2 and the right pair of locations H 1 and H 2 , respectively, on the same large plate 56 .

Specifically, groups of positions H1, H2 and J, respectively located at the three vertices of a generally equilateral triangle, are placed on either side of the outer perimeter, and the two groups are located on the same large plate. 56, it is arranged symmetrically with respect to its center line (a straight line passing through the central angular position (indicated by "center" in the figure) of each large plate 56 and position E).

As for the plurality of small plates 54, as shown in FIG. A plurality of through holes are formed in each small plate 54 as shown in FIG. These through-holes are formed at position K, which is concentric with position D shown in FIG.

As shown in the side cross-sectional view of FIG. 10, the large plate 56 and the small plate 54 are fastened in a laminated state by passing rod-like fasteners 130 through predetermined ones of a plurality of through-holes. be tightened. Examples of bar fasteners 130 include shafts (unthreaded) or long screws (threaded at least at both ends), and other examples include nuts and eyebolts.

In the figure, long screws are passed through a plurality of large plates 56 and a plurality of small plates 54 as rod-like fasteners 130 at position D (position K). A nut 132 is fastened to each end projecting from the large plate 56 of the . Similarly, long screws are passed through the plurality of large plates 56 as rod-like fasteners 130 at positions E, and nuts 132 are attached to the ends protruding from the outermost two large plates 56 of the long screws. be concluded.

In this case, a spacer 134 (sleeve or collar) is placed between two large plates 56 adjacent to each other so as to be inserted by the rod-shaped fastener 130 . Thereby, the axial spacing between two large plates 56 adjacent to each other is defined.

As shown in the figure, the clearance between each rod-shaped fastener 130 and each through-hole (meaning the difference between the maximum outer diameter of the threaded portion of the rod-shaped fastener 130 and the minimum inner diameter of the through-hole, hereinafter referred to as "thread "Gap") is left. The screw clearance is about 1 mm in diameter, and is, for example, grade 2 or higher as a hole diameter class.

<Effect of structuring the outer frame as a laminate capable of sliding motion>

As described above, the outer frame 50 is configured as a laminate, and is slidable by fastening together a plurality of thin plates 54 and 56 with a relatively large screw gap. A laminate is constructed, and the effect due to this is examined.

FIG. 11A shows, as a comparative example, a partial cross-sectional side view of the analysis result of the behavior of the outer frame 50 of the chuck 20 that responds to the eccentric load when the outer frame 50 is of an integral type (block). ing.

In this comparative example, similarly to the embodiment described later with reference to FIG. And both act upward. Due to each eccentric load, bending moments act on the outer frame 50 in opposite directions.

In this comparative example, each bending moment causes a radial force on the outer frame 50 in the axial direction of the outer frame 50 in the same manner as in the example. It is speculated that it acts to distribute in a non-uniform pattern that increases from the point of contact (point of force, lowest point) to the distal point (top point).

Under such dynamic conditions, in this comparative example, the outer frame 50 is configured as a rigid metal block. Therefore, in this comparative example, the outer frame 50 tilts (angularly displaces) in response to the bending moment without deforming itself.

As a result, the outer frame 50 is oriented radially outwardly away from the outer surface of the post 12 at its proximal point and radially inwardly toward the outer surface of the post 12 at its distal point. A rigid body displacement (angular displacement or tilting of the entire rigid body) occurs.

Therefore, in this comparative example, it is assumed that chuck 20 is locally lifted from the outer surface of post 12 at its proximal point. This accentuates the non-uniformity of the radial force distribution pattern acting on the outer frame 50 .

As a result, in this comparative example, the drag generated in the contact layer 40 is locally reduced at the proximal point, the frictional force between the contact layer 40 and the column 12 is also locally reduced, and the contact It is assumed that the axial sum of the drag forces generated in layer 40 is also reduced.

On the other hand, FIG. 4(b) shows an analysis result of the behavior of the outer frame 50 of the chuck 20 in response to the eccentric load when the outer frame 50 of the chuck 20 is a laminate capable of sliding motion as an embodiment of the present invention. Shown in partial side cross-section.

In this embodiment, when the eccentric load acts on the outer frame 50 as a laminate capable of sliding movement, it is assumed that the individual sliding movement and tilting of the plurality of plates 54 and 56 occur due to the bending moment. be done. As a result, the outer frame 50 itself undergoes sliding deformation and tilting as a whole, whereby the contact layer 40 is maintained in a state where its inner surface is in full contact with the outer surface of the column 12 in the axial direction. It is assumed that

As a result, although the eccentric load acts on the outer frame 50, the area of the axial region where the contact layer 40 contacts the outer surface of the column 12 is suppressed from decreasing, and the radius of the outer frame 50 acting on the outer frame 50 is reduced. Emphasis on the non-uniformity of the directional force distribution pattern is suppressed. As a result, the drag force acting on the contact layer 40 by the outer frame 50 is made uniform in the axial direction, which is presumed to increase the total drag force.

<<contact layer>>

As shown in FIG. 17( a ), the contact layer 40 is composed of a plurality of discrete cord-like bodies 44 each having a circular cross-section and arranged discretely in the circumferential direction of the columnar body 12 . 12 and a concentric imaginary cylindrical surface (an example of a “virtual cylindrical surface”). As shown in FIG. 16(b) and FIG. 16, each string-like body 44 includes a core material 46 mainly made of metal and a coating layer 42 (an example of a "surface layer") covering the core material 46, which is mainly a soft material. including those consisting of The material forming the coating layer 42 is an example of the "surface layer material".

<Structure of contact layer>

An example of each string-like body 44 is a resin-coated wire rope, as shown in FIG. The resin-coated wire rope has a wire rope as the core material 46, has a synthetic resin sleeve as the coating layer 42, and is constructed as a wire rope whose surface is coated with a synthetic resin.

Here, the "wire rope" is constructed by twisting a plurality of strands (small ropes, small lumps) formed by twisting a plurality of strands around a core (steel core, core rope). The material of the "strand" is metal, such as stainless steel, tungsten, titanium alloy, and the like. A "core" is also referred to as a fiber core or a gold core. Also, the material constituting the “coating layer 42” is a synthetic resin (PVC, nylon, polyethylene, etc.) (an example of a “soft material”).

<Mechanical Properties of Contact Layer>

The covering layer 42 has flexibility (flexibility). In addition, since the core material 46 is allowed to slip between the plurality of filaments and slip between the plurality of strands, the core material 46 has higher flexibility (ease of compressive deformation in the diameter direction (e.g., , easiness of collapsing and crushing of the strand), and easiness of bending in a direction intersecting the length direction).

Furthermore, both the covering layer 42 and the core material 46 restore their cross-sectional shape (circular, etc.) and overall shape (straight line) at the time of no load (natural state) due to the elasticity of their respective materials. Furthermore, the coating layer 42 has higher flexibility (ease of compressive deformation in the diameter direction, easiness of bending in a direction crossing the length direction) than the metal coating layer 42 .

To explain the difference between the coating layer 42 and the core material 46 in terms of mechanical properties, the coating layer 42 has a higher coefficient of surface friction than the core material 46, whereas the core material 46 has a higher elastic recovery than the coating layer 42. (For example, elastic recovery in the bending direction, elastic recovery in the compression direction, etc.).

In this embodiment, terminal processing is performed on at least one end of each wire rope. Specifically, ready-made metal sleeves and clips are crimped to the rope ends. Since the ready-made fittings are present at the ends, the wire ropes are prevented from dropping by their own weight when they are held on the inner surface of the outer frame 50 as shown in FIG.

<<outer frame>>

<Laminate capable of sliding motion>

As shown in FIGS. 10, 12, 13 and 14(a), the outer frame 50 includes a small plate 54 as a low-elastic deformation portion that is easily elastically deformed in the radial direction by a radial force, and a radially A large plate 56 as a highly elastically deformable portion that is difficult to elastically deform in the radial direction against force is provided at axial positions different from each other. FIG. 14(a) is a plan view showing the small plate 54 shown in FIG. 13 virtually overlapping the large plate 56 shown in FIG. 12 for comparison.

Specifically, the low elastic deformation portion is a small plate 54 as a narrow plate having a width dimension W1, as shown in FIG. 14(a). On the other hand, the highly elastic deformation portion is a large plate 56 as a wide plate having a width dimension W2 longer than the width dimension W1, as shown in FIG.

In the small plate 54 shown in FIG. 14(a), a plurality of shallow grooves 60 are formed along a perfect circular arc centered at the center of the chuck 20 (a perfect circular arc) as shown in FIG. 14(b). arrayed.

Instead of this, an arc shape different from the arc shape of the small plate 54 may be adopted as illustrated in FIG. An example of the different arc shape is a flattened arc having a radius R2 longer than the radius R1 of a true arc, as shown.

In this example, compared to the case where the plurality of shallow grooves 60 are arranged along a true circular arc along with the plurality of corresponding strings 44, each string 44 is positioned from the center of the column 12. is shortened, and the amount of radially outward deflection of the corresponding plurality of small plates 54 is increased accordingly.

As a result, in this example, even if the diameter of the post 12 is the same, a greater repulsive force acts from each small plate 54 to each string 44, thereby causing the contact layer 40 to move radially (thickness The drag force acting in the vertical direction) increases, and the frictional force generated in the contact force also increases accordingly. In this way, the effect of amplifying the frictional force is obtained.

<Multiple longitudinal grooves in the outer frame>

As shown in FIG. 1 , the outer frame 50 has a plurality of vertical grooves 58 (an example of a “groove”) that come into contact with the string-like bodies 44 from behind and accommodate the string-like bodies 44 . . Each longitudinal groove 58 is, as shown in FIG. 15(b), a collection of a plurality of shallow grooves 60 and a plurality of deep grooves 62 arranged in a line.

Each string-like body 44 is crushed in the corresponding shallow groove 60 in a compressed state in which each string-like body 44 is compressed by the column 12, as illustrated in FIG. Flatten to stretch. Similarly, although not shown, each string-like body 44 is also compressed in the corresponding deep groove 62 in a compressed state in which each string-like body 44 is compressed by the column 12 so as to expand in the circumferential direction. It flattens, but to a lesser degree than in the shallow grooves 60 .

Each longitudinal groove 58 (shallow groove 60 and deep groove 62), as shown in FIG. cross-sectional shape). The plurality of vertical grooves 58 are composed of a plurality of shallow grooves 60 (an example of "first partial grooves") formed in the plurality of small plates 54, and a plurality of shallow grooves 60 formed in the plurality of large plates 56, respectively. The deep grooves 62 (an example of the "second partial groove") of the book are arranged vertically in a row in the same phase.

If the depth of the deep groove 62 is represented by "Q1" and the depth of the shallow groove 60 is represented by "Q2", the magnitude relationship between them is expressed by the inequality Q1>Q2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1A, the deep groove 62 is configured to have a cross-sectional shape that forms a partial circle larger than the cross-sectional shape of the shallow groove 60 .

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 15(a)-(c), each small plate 54 has a plurality of shallow grooves 60 arranged in a row along its inner edge. Each shallow groove 60 is configured to have a cross-sectional shape that is generally semi-circular. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 15(a)-(c), a plurality of deep grooves 62 are arranged in a line on the inner edge of each large plate 56. As shown in FIG.

15(a) shows one of the plurality of deep grooves 62 in the large plate 56 shown in FIG. 12 and one of the plurality of shallow grooves 60 in the small plate 54 shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is an enlarged plan view showing the corresponding one when the laminate shown in FIG. 9 is viewed from directly above; 1B is a front view showing a plurality of plates 54, 56 having deep grooves 62 and shallow grooves 60. FIG. 1(c) is a side sectional view showing a plurality of plates 54, 56 having deep grooves 62 and shallow grooves 60. FIG.

Both the shallow groove 60 and the deep groove 62 have proximal portions 64, 66 closest to the outer surface of the post 12 and distal portions 68, 70 furthest.

The proximal portion 64 of the shallow groove 60 is generally in the same relative position as the proximal portion 66 of the deep groove 62 with respect to the outer surface of the post 12, while the distal portion 68 of the shallow groove 60 is in the same relative position as the distal portion of the deep groove 62. Closer to the outer surface of column 12 than 70

As a result, the portions corresponding to the small plates 54 and the shallow grooves 60 of each string-like body 44 are compressed by the column 12 more than the portions corresponding to the large plate 56 and the deep grooves 62 . In this state, as shown in FIG. 4(d), the amount of radial compression is large, and accordingly, the amount of flattening and crushing in the circumferential direction is also large.

This creates an amplified drag force and thus a frictional force between each string 44 and the post 12, and also creates an enlarged contact area between each string 44 and the post 12. be.

<<Clamp Mechanism>>

FIG. 18(a) shows a plan view of the first circumferential clamping portion 84 used in a plurality of clamping positions A, and FIG. 18(b) shows a side view.

The first circumferential clamping portion 84 includes a first long screw 140 extending through clamping locations H1 and H2, respectively, and a second long screw 142 extending through clamping location J, which further includes long screws 140, 142. It includes two axially side-by-side sets of circumferentially connecting eyebolts 144, nuts 146 and plates 148. As shown in FIG. A second long screw 142 at position J passes through the eye of eyebolt 144 . A plate 148 is positioned across the two first long screws 140, 140 through positions H1 and H2, respectively, on the opposite side of the second long screw 142. As shown in FIG.

A long screw 160 at position G passes through the eye of the second eyebolt 164 .

As shown in FIG. 12, at the clamping position B, the second eyebolt 164 extends in directions that intersect both the radial and circumferential directions. This second eyebolt 164 acts as the aforementioned diagonal member extending in a direction oblique to the tangential direction at the clamping position B. As shown in FIG.

As a result of such geometry being imparted to the second circumferential clamping portion 86, the second circumferential clamping portion 86 exerts a radial force in addition to the circumferential force on the two segments 52 adjacent to each other. works. This means that part of the axial force of the second eyebolts 164 , i.e. the clamping force of those segments 52 , has been converted into the radial force of the contact layer 40 .

<Axial clamp part>

An axial clamping portion 88 is provided for each segment 52, for example, at clamping positions D and E, as illustrated in FIG. It is configured to clamp the members while penetrating only the large plates 56 .

<<How to pull out the pillar>>

<Overview>

FIG. 21 shows a process diagram of an example of a method for extracting the column 12 using the system 10 described above.

According to this column drawing method, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the column 12 is pulled out from the base portion 14 step by step.

5, by driving the jack 26, the chuck 20 is applied with an axial force in a direction that separates the column 12 and the base 14 from the base 14 as an impact force. as a quasi-static force, thereby partially or completely withdrawing the post 12 from the base 14, and if the use of the jack 26 alone cannot pull the post 12 out of the base 14. 7, by driving the hoist 30, an additional axial force is quasi-statically applied to the chuck 20 to move it away from the base 14 together with the column 12, thereby , and a step of completely withdrawing the column 12 from the base portion 14 .

1. 1st process: Import and assembly of equipment

A plurality of equipment necessary for the extraction work (base unit 24 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, mounting jig 22 shown in FIG. 3, chuck 20 shown in the same figure, jack 26 shown in FIG. 5, hoist 30 shown in FIG. 7, The chain 120 shown in the same figure, the scaffold 32 shown in the same figure, etc.) are disassembled and brought into a transport vehicle such as a truck at their storage place, and the destination site (for example, a place where equipment removal is requested) used parking lots, etc.).

When the equipment arrives at the site, the equipment is assembled by workers.

2. 2nd step: Extraction work by jack 26

<Overview>

This process applies a quasi-static force (quasi-static force) rather than an impact force (impact load) to the chuck 20 by driving the jack 26 to move it away from the base 14 along with the column 12 . static load), thereby pulling out the column 12 from the base portion 14. As shown in FIG.

A "quasi-static force (quasi-static load)" is defined herein as a non-static load in that the magnitude changes with time, and dynamic loads excluding impact loads. "Quasi-static force (quasi-static load)" is specifically, for example, a load whose magnitude changes with time at a speed lower than that of an impact load, and whose magnitude is in a gradual increase phase, a gradual decrease phase, This is the load that changes through the holding phase and the like.

<Preparation work>

Prior to the extraction operation, a plurality of required equipment (base unit 24, mounting jig 22, chuck 20, jack 26, etc.) are assembled on site.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2( a ), the column 12 , the chuck 20 and the base portion 14 are integrally arranged in the preparatory stage before extraction.

Specifically, in this preparatory stage, first, as shown in FIG. of the base unit 24 (an example of a "displacement suppressor") is installed. FIG. 5 shows an example of the base unit 24 in a perspective view. In this example, the column 12 passes through the central portion of the base unit 24 .

Next, a hollow mounting jig 22 is installed on the upper surface of the base unit 24 with the column 12 penetrating through the central portion of the mounting jig 22 .

Chuck 20 is then placed on top of fixture 22 before its assembly is complete and with post 12 accessible from both diametric sides thereof. In this state, the plurality of segments 52 are clamped by using the clamping mechanism 80 so that the chuck 20 grips the column 12 . This completes the gripping operation of the column 12 by the chuck 20 .

After that, a plurality of jacks 26 are placed on the upper surface of the base plate at positions facing each other so as to sandwich the column 12 from both sides in the diametrical direction. At this time, each jack 26 is in the maximum contraction position, and a clearance is normally provided between the upper end surface of the jack 26 and the lower surface of the chuck 20 for convenience of installation work.

As indicated by jacks 26 (load position, jacking position) C in plan view of FIG. come into local contact with

When the installation of each jack 26 is completed in this manner, the mounting jig 22 is removed from the column 12 as shown in FIG. This completes the preparation for the pull-in operation by the jack 26 .

<Main work>

A worker repeatedly swings the lever 116 of the jack 26 . As a result, the lift of the jack 26 increases, and at this time, the lift acts from the jack 26 to the chuck 20 as a concentrated eccentric load, as shown in FIGS.

The jacks 26 are arranged one by one on each side so as to sandwich the axis of the column 12, and the two jacks 26 are operated by one or two workers so that their lift forces are substantially synchronized with each other. Manipulated to rise. The combined action of the jacks 26 imparts an axial force to the column 12 in a direction to pull it out from the base portion 14 . The opposed positioning and synchronous driving of the jacks 26 tend to cancel out opposite bending moments in the column 12 due to the eccentric loading of each of the jacks 26 .

Since there is a gap between the upper surface of the ram 100 of the jack 26 and the lower surface of the chuck 20 before the extraction, when the operator drives the jack 26, until the gap disappears, for example, as shown in the graph of FIG. As shown, its lift increases to the extent that it overcomes the weight and frictional forces of the ram 100 . Eventually, the jack 26 and the chuck 20 come into contact with each other at the jack position C in FIG.

By the way, before pulling out, the columnar body 12 and the base portion 14 are integrated at their surfaces. Therefore, in order to pull out the column 12 from the base portion 14, it is necessary to add a force to the column 12 to overcome the adhesive force (for example, adhesive force, joining force, etc.) between them. The force is the force required to separate and separate the column 12 from the base portion 14 . Additionally, it is surmised that it is also necessary to apply a force to the post 12 to overcome the maximum coefficient of static friction between the post 12 and the base 14 .

Here, the force necessary for pulling out is, for example, a force that resists pulling out the column 12 from the base portion 14, that is, a force that overcomes pull-out resistance (or pull-out resistance). In this embodiment, due to the configuration of system 10 , the force required for extraction includes the force to overcome the sum of the weight of post 12 and chuck 20 .

Therefore, if the operator continues to drive the jack 26 after contact between the jack 26 and the chuck 20, the lift of the jack 26 increases. It does not rise and remains stationary. In this phase, repeated rocking of the lever 116 of the jack 26 by the operator to increase the lift of the jack 26 does not raise the ram 100, but instead compresses the hydraulic fluid in the jack 26. It is presumed that

Eventually, when the lifting force of the jack 26 overcomes the pull-out resistance, both the chuck 20 and the column 12 start to rise. Since the sum of the weight of 12 and the weight of chuck 20 is sufficient, the lifting force of jack 26 is reduced. After that, the chuck 20 and the column 12 are raised by the amount of the jack 26 driven by the operator.

Eventually, the ram 100 of the jack 26 reaches the highest position. At this time, the column 12 has a portion remaining within the base portion 14 and the column 12 has not been completely pulled out from the base portion 14 . This is because the lift of jack 26 is less than the initial depth of embedment of post 12 into base 14 .

3. 3rd step: additional withdrawal stage with hoist 30

<Overview>

In this process, when the column 12 cannot be completely pulled out from the base portion 14 only by using the jack 26, the operator drives the hoist 30 as shown in FIG. This process is mainly a step of quasi-statically additionally applying an axial force in a direction to separate the column 12 from the base 14 together with the column 12 , thereby completely withdrawing the column 12 from the base 14 .

<Preparation work>

As shown in FIG. 7 , the worker installs the first stage scaffold 32 at a predetermined position with respect to the column 12 . A hoist 30 is suspended from the upper plate of the scaffold 32 . A chain 120 hangs down from the hoist 30 and has a hook 122 at the tip of the chain 120 . The hook 122 is connected to an eyebolt 124 as a connecting member of the chuck 20 .

<Main work>

After that, the operator drives the hoist 30 to wind up the chain 120 , thereby pulling up the chuck 20 together with the column 12 . Thereby, the column 12 is additionally lifted from the base portion 14 and finally the column 12 is completely withdrawn from the base portion 14 .

However, if the scaffolding 32 on the first stage is insufficient, the scaffolding 32 on the second stage is piled up as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. .

As shown in FIG. 2B, in the post-pulling stage, the column 12 and the chuck 20 are arranged integrally, while the column 12 is separated upward from the base portion 14 . After being pulled out, a cylindrical hole having approximately the same diameter as the column 12 (hereinafter referred to as a "trace hole") appears in the base portion 14 as a trace of the column 12 being pulled out therefrom.

At this time, it is expected that no cracks extend from the trace holes in the base portion 14, or if only a few cracks remain, the base portion 14 will not be destroyed.

4. Dismantling and carrying out equipment

When the column 12 is completely pulled out from the base portion 14 as described above, the pulled-out column 12 is placed on the ground by an operator. Further, the operator dismantles the chuck 20 , thereby removing the chuck 20 from the column 12 . Further, the worker removes the base unit 24 as the equipment used for the extraction work from the base portion 14 .

In addition, other equipment is also dismantled by workers. When the dismantling work for all the facilities is completed, the workers carry the facilities into the transport vehicle and return them to the storage location.

<<Test example>>

Here, specific specifications of the column 12, the chuck 20, and the jack 26 and hoist 30 as the axial force applying machine will be described with respect to an example actually tested by the present inventor.

<Hoist specifications>

Rated load (maximum lift): 0.3 tons Lift: 2.5 m

In this test example, as in the previous embodiment, one hoist 30 was used for one column 12, so the final maximum lift was still 0.3 tons.

<Test results>

The present inventor made a prototype of this system 10 using equipment having these specifications, and conducted a trial extraction work on-site for the column 12 and base 14 having the above specifications.

As a result, the inventor recognized that the lifting force of the jack 26 exhibited the temporal transition illustrated in FIG. Furthermore, the present inventor found that there were no traces of the column 12 after the extraction, where the chuck 20 was attached, and that there were no harmful traces of the base portion 14 as described above. confirmed.

Therefore, the present inventor recognized that it was possible to reuse the removed column 12 at another location without performing substantial repairs. Furthermore, the inventors recognized that the foundation 14 could have been backfilled on site without excavating the soil without having to remove the foundation 14 from the soil.

Furthermore, the inventors of the present invention found that the present test enabled the extraction work to be performed with low vibration and low noise, and that the labor required for the work (man-hours and work period) was reduced (working time was, for example, It took about 3 hours), and it was confirmed that the work cost could be reduced.

<<Other effects of the present embodiment>>

According to this embodiment, the following effects are obtained.

Although the post 12 is a rigid body, the contact between the post 12 and the contact layer 40 appears as a rigid-soft contact, and the rigid-soft contact is more pronounced than the rigid-to-rigid contact. improves the conformability of the surface of the contact layer 40 to the surface of the

<<various modifications of the present embodiment>>

Having described several exemplary embodiments of the invention, the invention may be embodied in other forms.

<Modified example of the shape of the portion gripped by the chuck>

For example, in this embodiment, the column 12 is configured as a longitudinal member having a straight portion, and the chuck 20 is configured to be attached to the straight portion.

Alternatively, if the longitudinal member has a curved portion, the chuck 20 may be configured to be attached to the curved portion. Moreover, when the longitudinal member has an angle portion, the chuck 20 may be configured to be attached to the angle portion.

According to this embodiment, as described above, the contact between the longitudinal member and the chuck 20 is rigid-soft contact when the longitudinal member is rigid, and the chuck 20 is curved or angled. Thus, even if it has a non-simple shape that is not a straight portion, it is easy to fit the shape.

<Modified example of the cross-sectional shape of the column>

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the pillar 12 is a longitudinal member of a type having a hollow structure and a closed cross-sectional shape. The present invention may be practiced in such a manner that the chuck 20 grips a longitudinal member (for example, a pipe with vertical slits).

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the columnar body 12 is a longitudinal member having a hollow structure and an outer circumferential surface that is continuous in the circumferential direction. The invention may be practiced in such a manner that chuck 20 grips an elongated member of the type having an outer peripheral surface with a continuous portion.

In addition, the present invention is implemented in a mode in which a longitudinal member having a solid structure and having an outer circumferential surface that is continuous in the circumferential direction or an outer circumferential surface that has a discontinuous portion in the circumferential direction is gripped by the chuck 20. may

<Modified example of column installation method>

By the way, as shown in FIG. 8, there are at least three exemplified ways of installing the column 12 that can be withdrawn (removed) according to the present invention.

Specifically, FIG. 1(a) shows a first installation method in which a column 12 is embedded and fixed in a foundation portion 14 embedded in the ground. In this embodiment, the column 12 is configured as a longitudinal member installed according to the first installation method. In this case, as described above, the columnar body 12 as the longitudinal member is pulled out from the base portion 14 while leaving the base portion 14 in the soil.

In addition, FIG. 4(b) shows a second installation method in which the column 12 is directly embedded and fixed in the ground. The present invention may be implemented in a mode in which the chuck 20 is attached to the longitudinal member in which the pillar 12 is installed according to the second installation method. In this case, the columnar body 12 as the longitudinal member is pulled out from the soil alone.

In FIG. 4(c), a column 12 is located on a base portion 14 buried in the ground, and an enlarged bottom portion 16 (a member having a shape protruding from the cross-sectional shape of the body portion of the column 12) is attached to the bottom end of the column 12. ) are buried and fixed in a state where they are exposed from the base portion 14 and are joined together.

Also, the present invention may be implemented in a mode in which the chuck 20 is attached to the longitudinal member installed according to the third installation method. In this case, the columnar body 12 (to which the expanded bottom portion 16 is attached) as a longitudinal member is pulled out of the soil together with the base portion 14 .

<Modified Example of Structure of Contact Layer>

In this embodiment, as described above, the contact layer 40 includes a plurality of string-like bodies 44 each having a circular cross section, as shown in FIGS. , as a plurality of discrete bodies arranged discretely along a virtual cylindrical surface concentric with the columnar body 12 .

Alternatively, the contact layer 40 is composed of, for example, a plurality of string-like bodies 44 each having an oval cross-section, as shown in FIGS. The present invention may be implemented in a mode having a structure in which a plurality of discrete bodies are arranged along a virtual cylindrical surface concentric with the column 12 .

In addition, as another example, the contact layer 40 is formed by a cylindrical body (sleeve or the like) continuous in the circumferential direction of the column 12, as shown in FIG. The invention may also be practiced with structures that extend axially along a cylindrical surface.

<Modified example of string arrangement method>

In this embodiment, a plurality of string-like bodies 44 are arranged so as to extend parallel to the axis along an imaginary cylindrical surface that is substantially concentric with the column 12. .

On the other hand, the present invention may be implemented in such a manner that the string-like bodies 44 are arranged so as to extend spirally in parallel around the axis along the imaginary cylindrical surface. According to this aspect, it becomes easy to reduce the number of cord-like bodies 44 required to achieve the same contact area between the cord-like bodies 44 and the column 12 .

<Modified example of the cross-sectional shape of the column>

In this embodiment, the columnar body 12 is a cylindrical body (solid), a cylindrical body or a round pipe (hollow), but instead of these, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 20, a prismatic body (solid ), or as a rectangular tube or rectangular pipe (hollow).

Specifically, FIG. 1(a) is a plan view showing a chuck 20 suitable for a square column or a square cylinder as another example of the column 12, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of the contact layer 40 shown in a). In this case, a "virtual rectangular cylindrical surface" is adopted as the "virtual cylindrical surface".

<Modified Example of Driving Method for Elevating Chuck>

In the present embodiment, the jack 26 (high output/low lift or high output/short stroke) is used as the first drive source in the initial stage of the step of pulling out the column 12 when the resistance to pulling out the column 12 is large. The jack 26 is used to raise the chuck 20 by pushing it up.

After that, in the subsequent stage when the pull-out resistance has decreased, the hoist 30 (low output/high lift or low output/long stroke) is used as the second drive source instead of the jack 26, and the hoist 30 pulls up the chuck 20. The chuck 20 is thereby raised.

That is, in this embodiment,
(1) Circumstances that the allowable load and maximum stroke of the drive source differ depending on the type of drive source. Although it is more advantageous, the fact that it is more disadvantageous than the hoist 30 in terms of the length of the maximum stroke (head, etc.) (two types of drive sources that have a complementary relationship that compensates for each other's drawbacks in terms of performance),
(2) The fact that the magnitude of the load and the length of the lift required for drawing differ depending on the stage of the drawing process. In view of the fact that the lift is required to be long but the load may be small in the subsequent stages, while it may be short, multiple types of drive sources are available depending on the size of the required load and the maximum stroke. It is used properly according to the length, that is, according to the stage of the drawing process.

On the other hand, a single drive source capable of achieving the maximum load and the maximum stroke required in each stage of the drawing process (for example, the initial stage and the subsequent stage) throughout the entire drawing process is used. If used, the retraction of the column 12 can be completed by using only one type of drive source throughout all stages of the drawing process.

For example, a hoist 30 or a crane as a high-performance hoisting machine is employed as the drive source, and the column body 12 is pulled out without switching the drive source by pulling up the chuck 20 through the entire process with the drive source. The present invention may be practiced.

By the way, in this embodiment, in order to attach the chuck 20 to the column 12 prior to pulling out the column 12, the operator holds the plurality of divisions 52 of the chuck 20 on the column 12 in the horizontal plane. bring closer. Therefore, in order to pull out the column 12 using the chuck 20, a space or clearance is required for the horizontal movement of each divided body 52. As shown in FIG.

Therefore, at a removal site where there are obstacles (walls, nearby buildings, etc.) as illustrated in FIG. difficult or impossible.

<Another embodiment>

To solve this problem, chuck 20 may be configured, for example, as an asymmetrical hinge assembled chuck 170 illustrated in FIG.

For example, in plan view, the chuck 170 is narrow or small on the back side where the gap is narrow because the column 12 is close to the obstacle, and wide on the front side where the gap is wide because the column 12 is far from the obstacle. Or it has an asymmetrical shape that makes it large.

Further, the chuck 170 includes, for example, a narrow base end portion 172 located on the far side and a pair of arm portions 174, 174 connected thereto by a hinge 173 to sandwich the column 12 from both sides in the diametrical direction. and a slide portion 176 between and slidable relative to the arms 174,174.

Further, the chuck 170 is divided into a plurality of circumferential surfaces, for example, the inner surface of the base end portion 172, the inner surfaces of the pair of arm portions 174 and 174, and the inner surface of the slide portion 176, respectively. It has a partial cylindrical surface. A contact layer 178 similar to the contact layer 40 described above is formed on these partial cylindrical surfaces.

Furthermore, in this example, the operator arranges the chuck 170 in an unfolded state so as to pass through the back side of the column 12 .

Thereafter, the operator brings the pair of arm portions 174, 174 closer together to press the column 12 in the one diameter direction U, and brings the base end portion 172 and the slide portion 176 closer to each other to move the column 12. Compression in another diametrical direction V perpendicular to diametrical direction U forces chuck 170 elastically and non-invasively against post 12 all around.

In this example, a base end portion 172 and a pair of arm portions 174, 174 are a lever mechanism in which a pair of levers are connected to the base end portions so as to be capable of swinging on one plane (for example, a horizontal plane). , which can be interpreted as providing back support for the contact layer 178 .

Additionally, in some of the embodiments illustrated above, it has been pointed out that high frictional force and non-invasive contact are compatible in the chuck, but reuse of the withdrawn column 12 is not required. In some cases, non-invasive contact may not be achieved at the chuck.
