Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for driving and/or extraction of sheet piles and the like into and from the ground, respectively.
  • the device comprises a leader on which an exciter cell is guided.
  • the exciter cell is coupled with an advancing system for moving it in a linear manner.
  • Vibration generators so-called exciter cells, are used for driving sheet piles or the like into the ground and extracting them, respectively. These generators are attached to the lifting carriage of a leader of a construction machine, and a collet is provided on them, on which the sheet pile can be attached.
  • the exciter cell is usually disposed in a hood, which is connected with an equipment carriage that is connected with the lifting carriage of the leader.
  • the lifting carriage of the leader is coupled with an advancing system by way of traction cables as well as load cables.
  • the load cables are disposed on the side of the lifting carriage that faces the ground, so that a traction force that acts on the load cable acts in the direction of the ground, in other words as a top load.
  • Such arrangements have fundamentally proven themselves for introducing sheet piles into the ground or extracting them, respectively.
  • friction losses as well as preload force losses at the guide of the exciter cell in the hood and the guide of the lifting carriage on the leader, caused by tilting and jamming of the guides.
  • great wear is caused by this.
  • the present invention provides a device for driving and/or extraction of sheet piles and the like into and from the ground, respectively, comprising a leader, on which an exciter cell is guided, in which device such friction and preload force losses are reduced.
  • the exciter cell is rigidly connected with at least one guide element that is exclusively guided on the leader and elastically connected with the advancing system.
  • the term “elastic” connection is to be understood to mean a connection that has clearly greater elasticity than the direct coupling by way of steel cables that is known in the state of the art, since these cables transfer the vibrations transferred to the leader and would cause damage to the leader and/or to the advancing system in this connection.
  • coupling of the at least one guide element to the advancing system takes place by way of at least one cable that is configured to be elastic. Uncoupling of the vibrations applied to the leader by way of the at least one guide element is brought about as the result of the elasticity of the cable.
  • the at least one cable is produced from high-strength plastic fibers, preferably polyethylene fibers made from ultra-high-crystalline molecular polyethylene or from glass fibers. Such cables are characterized in that they demonstrate great elasticity and, simultaneously, low weight.
  • the at least one guide element takes place by way of at least one cable, whereby at least one cable is connected with at least one spring module.
  • the at least one spring module can be configured as a spring packet composed of cylindrical helical springs, plate springs, gas pressure springs, torsion bar springs and/or flexion springs.
  • the at least one spring module is formed from at least one rocker, which is connected with the at least one guide element by way of an axle, so as to pivot.
  • a first clamping unit is disposed on the at least one rocker, at a distance from its pivot axle, and a second clamping unit for an elastic element, preferably an elastic loop, is disposed at a distance from the rocker.
  • At least one cable is attached to the rocker on the side that lies opposite the pivot axle.
  • the elastic element preferably the elastic loop, takes on uncoupling of the vibrations applied to the leader by way of the at least one guide element. Additional securing is brought about in that even in the event of failure of the elastic element or the elastic loop, the at least one guide element continues to be connected with the at least one traction cable by way of the at least one rocker.
  • two such rockers are disposed on the at least one guide element, vertically spaced apart from one another and preferably projecting in opposite directions.
  • One rocker is connected with at least one traction cable and one rocker is connected with at least one load cable.
  • the elastic element assigned to each rocker which is preferably configured as an elastic loop, is disposed on the pivot axle of the opposite rocker, connected with the at least one guide element.
  • the preload force for traction and pressure can be adjusted separately, by the use of different loops.
  • a linear spring characteristic line is achieved, which allows good uncoupling. It is advantageous if the pivot axle of the first rocker is disposed horizontally offset from the pivot axle of the second rocker.
  • the elastic elements are configured as elastic loops that are produced from glass-fiber-reinforced plastic material.
  • This material has good elastic properties.
  • the fibers are durable for a very long time and have great resistance to friction wear, moisture, and UV radiation.
  • the at least one guide element is disposed on a carriage that is rigidly connected with the exciter cell.
  • the carriage preferably has a length that projects beyond the exciter cell in terms of its length. The force that acts on the at least one guide element is reduced by the use of a long carriage.
  • FIG. 1 shows the spatial representation of the exciter cell with carriage disposed on it, and coupling to an advancing system
  • FIG. 2 shows the schematic representation of the exciter cell with carriage disposed on it, with an alternative spring module
  • FIG. 3 shows the schematic representation of an exciter cell with carriage disposed on it, with a spring module in a third embodiment
  • FIG. 4 shows the arrangement from FIG. 3 under the effect of a traction force on the traction cable.
  • the device for driving and/or extraction of sheet piles into or from the ground essentially consists of leader 7 disposed on a construction machine, having a carriage 2 that is disposed to be displaceable on a leader guide 71 .
  • An exciter cell 1 is attached to the carriage 2 , on which cell a collet 11 for accommodating a sheet pile is disposed on the bottom side.
  • Carriage 2 is connected with the advancing system of leader 7 by way of traction cables 3 attached on carriage 2 on both sides, as well as by way of load cables 4 disposed on carriage 2 on both sides.
  • exciter cell 1 has an extensively block-shaped housing that is disposed between two side cheeks 20 of carriage 2 , which are disposed parallel, and is connected with these side cheeks 20 by way of screw connections.
  • two guide rails 21 are disposed on carriage 2 , at a distance from one another, by way of which carriage 2 is mounted on leader 7 in a displaceable manner.
  • projecting metal sheets 22 are affixed to guide rails 21 .
  • metal sheets 22 are disposed in such a manner that metal sheets 22 of upper guide rail 21 project in the direction of leader 7 , and metal sheets 22 of lower guide rail 21 , which faces the ground, project in the direction of the exciter cell 1 .
  • An axle 221 for attachment of a traction cable 3 or a load cable 4 , respectively, is disposed on each of metal sheets 22 .
  • traction cables 3 engage on axles 221 of metal sheets 22 of lower guide rail 21 ;
  • load cables 4 are connected with axles 221 of metal sheets 22 of upper guide rail 21 .
  • Spring packets 5 are integrated into traction cables 3 and load cables 4 , which packets are represented, in simplified form, as cylindrical helical springs in FIG. 1 .
  • Traction cables 3 and load cables 4 are connected with axles 221 of metal sheets 22 by way of eyes 31 , 41 .
  • hydraulic block 6 is connected with carriage 2 by way of resilient elements, so that transfer of vibrations to the connected hydraulic lines is minimized.
  • the resilient elements are formed by elastomer blocks 61 .
  • a rocker 23 is connected with guide rail 21 , so as to pivot, by way of a pivot axle 231 , on both sides of upper guide rail 21 .
  • the force engagement points of cables 3 , 4 as well as the traction/load loop 233 are disposed offset from pivot axle 231 of rocker 23 .
  • Traction cable 3 and load cable 4 are attached to rocker 23 on a common vertical axis.
  • a clamping axle 232 for accommodating a traction/load loop 233 is disposed on the rocker 23 , at a distance from pivot axle 231 .
  • the traction/load loop 233 is clamped between clamping axle 232 and a second clamping axle 24 disposed on lower guide rail 21 .
  • the spring module of the arrangement according to FIG. 2 functions as follows: If a traction force is applied to traction cable 3 , then rocker 23 pivots about axle 231 , thereby causing clamping axle 232 to describe an arc in the clockwise direction. This causes traction/load loop 233 to be tensed, thereby achieving the desired uncoupling. To apply a top load to exciter cell 1 , a traction force is applied to load cable 4 , thereby pivoting rocker 23 in the counter-clockwise direction, about pivot axle 231 . In this connection, clamping axle 232 describes an arc in the counter-clockwise direction, thereby again tensing traction/load loop 233 , which brings about uncoupling.
  • a rocker 25 , 26 is disposed both on upper guide rail 21 and on lower guide rail 21 , on both sides.
  • a traction rocker 25 is mounted on guide rail 21 , eccentrically on upper guide rail 21 , on both sides, by way of a pivot axle 251 , in such a manner that it projects in the direction of exciter cell 1 .
  • a load rocker 26 is connected with guide rail 21 , so as to pivot, by way of an eccentrically disposed pivot axle 261 , on lower guide rail 21 of the carriage 2 , on both sides.
  • Load rocker 26 is disposed to project in the direction of leader 7 .
  • Clamping axles 252 , 262 are disposed on rockers 25 , 26 , offset from pivot axle 251 , 261 .
  • clamping axles 252 , 262 are positioned in such a manner that they are positioned to lie opposite each of the pivot axles 251 , 261 of the opposite rockers 25 , 26 , in the case of horizontal orientation of the rockers 25 , 26 .
  • a load loop 263 extends between clamping axle 262 of the load rocker 26 and pivot axle 251 of traction rocker 25
  • an elastic traction loop 253 extends between pivot axle 261 of load rocker 26 and clamping axle 252 of traction rocker 25 , on both sides of guide rails 21 .
  • Traction loop 253 and load loop 263 are produced from glass-fiber-reinforced plastic material. Alternatively, these loops can also be produced from high-strength plastic fibers, for example from ultra-high-crystalline molecular polyethylene.
  • FIG. 4 The method of functioning of the arrangement according to FIG. 3 is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • traction rocker 25 is displaced by preload path s, thereby increasing the distance between pivot axle 261 of load rocker 26 and clamping axle 252 of the traction rocker.
  • traction loop 253 is tensed, thereby achieving uncoupling.
  • the distance between pivot axle 251 of traction rocker 25 and clamping axle 262 of load rocker 26 remains unchanged.
  • load loop 263 is tensed accordingly.
  • Traction loop 253 remains unstressed.
