HrrQRA/E rs United States Patent 3,106,258 DRIVING DEVICE FOR PILE MEMBERS Ludwig Miiller, Heinrich-Heine-Str. 41, Marburg an tier Lahn, Germany Filed Apr. 14, 1960, Ser. No. 22,164 Claims priority, application Germany Apr. 25, 1959 6 Claims. (Cl. 175-55) The present invention relates to a device for driving or lifting tubular members, piles, sheet piles, etc. and similar members to be driven or lifited. The term pile member hereinafter sometimes used is intended to encompass 'all structures that can be driven or lifted with a device of the kind to which the present invention re lates. More particularly, the invention relates to a de- 3,106,258 Patented Oct. 8, 1963 ments of the invention are shown by way of illustration vice for driving and lifting of pile members utilizing dynamic oscillatory forces acting in the driving direction or the opposite direction which are generated by means of a vibratory exciter including rotary masses.
There are known installations of the general kind above referred to, in which the exciter is mounted on a frame structure and slidable alongthe length thereof and in which static forces directed either in the driving direction or opposite thereto are applied to the member to be driven or lifted by subjecting said member to load or pull forces whereby the power output of the device producing the static forces is adjustable during operation. More specifically, the static forces are produced-by means of a heavy frame structure on which a pile driver is mounted and a rope winch mounted at the base of the frame structure, the traction rope of the winch being linked by spring means to the driven member. it
It is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved device of the general kind above referred to which affords the advantage that a heavy frame structure for supporting the pile driving device is not required. Such heavy structurev is necessary in heretofore known installations since the frame structure has to sustain laterally directed forces caused by the rope pull of the winch. With the installation, according to the invention, it is merely necessary to hold the frame structure in a selected location, and the means used for so holding the frame structure are not subjected to the forces that are used to effect the actual driving or'lifting operation.
According to the invention the aforementioned objects,
features and advantages and other objects, features and advantages which will be pointed out hereinafter, are attained by providing a comparatively light frame structure movable on a support base in reference to a pile member to be worked. On this frame structure a power driven transmission means on the frame structure is coupled with the vibration exciter slidably guided along the frame structure and acting upon the pile member to be driven or lifted in order to apply load and pull forces thereto.
The frame structure is preferably equipped with mounted hooks and eyes for attaching the load hook of a derrick or the jig boom of a hoist to the frame structure.
The transmission means by means of which the load or pull forces are applied to the exciter and through it to the pile member may comprise endless chains or ropes which are guided over pulleys mounted at the top and the base of the frame structure and are driven by a motor, preferably mounted at the base of the frame structure.
Instead of using an endless rope or chain drive a piniongear rack drive may also be provided. The rack then preferably extends along the length of the frame structure and the pinion is mounted on the exciter.
To steady the frame structure in the selected location a platform for placing ballast weights thereon may be provided at the base of the the frame structure.
In the accompanying drawing several preferred embodiand not by way of limitation.
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a pile driving device according to the invention, the transmission means on the frame structure being shown as a chain drive.
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a modification of the cording to this figure, comprises an upright frame structure 1 mounting at its base a running wheel 2 resting on the ground 3. Guide rails 4, 4' extend along the length of the frame structure for guiding a yoke 5. The yoke is slidable up and down along the rails guided by rollers 6, the driving direction is being indicated by R and the lifting direction by Z. Yoke 5 has a laterally extending arm from which is suspended by means of compression springs 8 the vibratory exciter 7. The exciter is only diagrammatically indicated; it should be visualized as comprising a pair of rotary masses 7a and 7b which are rotated synchronously but in opposite directions. The pile member 9 indicated as a pile shaft is clamped to the exciter by any clamping means suitable for the purpose.
flnorder to transmit static forces in the direction R or Z from the frame structure to the exciter, a power driven trans-mission means is provided on the frame structure. This transmission means comprises endless chains or belts 1 1, 11 which are guided over pulleys 12 at the top and the base of the frame structure. 1 The chain drive should be visualized as being driven from a drive means 10 diagrammatically indicated at the base of the frame structure. The chain drive is coupled with the yoke by means of a suitable locking or clamping means 13. As is evident, yoke 5 can be lowered or lifted by driving chains 11, 11 in one or the other direction. Movement of the yoke in the direction R will apply to pile member 9 a static force in the driving direction and similarly lifting of yoke 5 will apply to member 9 a static force in the lifting direction. As is apparent, the static forces will coact by means of the exciter.
A platform '14 is provided at the base of the frame structure for placing thereon ballast weights 15. A jig boom 16 from which a load hook 17 depends, is rotatably mounted at the top of the frame structure. The frame structure is further equipped with one or several hooks and eyes 18', 18" and 18" for hooking the entire installation to a derrick or hoist 19 as is shown in FIG. 2.
In FIG. 2 corresponding components are designated with the same reference characters as in FIG. 1 but indexed with the letter a.
The structure of FIG. 2 is similar in principle to that of FIG. 1 except that the endless chain or rope drive of FIG. 1 is replaced by a pinion-rack drive. Rack 23 extends along the length of the frame structure and coacts with a pinion 24 mounted on yoke 5a. The yoke also supports the drive motor 25 for the gear drive. As is evident travel of pinion 24 along the rack will produce static forces which are transmitted to the pile member 9a to be driven or lifted.
The frame structure and all the parts supported thereby are held in position by spacer rods 26 hooked in eyes 18a" and 18a' and to the derrick.
The arrangement of FIG. 3 is evident from the previous In the arrangement of FIG. 4 the entire installation is laid down for transport and is placed with its upper part upon a platform 27 of a truck 28. The protruding part of the frame structure is supported by a running wheel 20'.
While the invention has been described in detail with respect to certain now preferred examples and embodiments of the invention it will be understood by those skilled in the art after understanding the invention, that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and it is intended, therefore, to cover all such changes and modifications in the appended claims.
