Definitions

  • the present invention relates to such pile driving assemblies on a vehicle which have a body portion supporting a crane driver cab and preferably are rotatable about the vehicle chassis, said crane driver cab containing capstans for pulling home a hoisting rope for a pile driving drop hammer which is slidable upwards and downwards along a guide mounted on a mast, said mast being supported at its upper portion by two'stays, the lower ends of which are journalled to the body portion of the vehicle, to which portion also the lower portion of the mast.
  • mast is journalled by means of a pivotable arm or the like arranged to be swung in a vertical plane, said mast also comprising a frame supporting the above-mentioned guide for the drop hammer and also for a helmet which might be disposed beneath said drop hammer, the frame being guided by a lower and an upper mast stand.
  • a pivotable arm or the like arranged to be swung in a vertical plane
  • said mast also comprising a frame supporting the above-mentioned guide for the drop hammer and also for a helmet which might be disposed beneath said drop hammer, the frame being guided by a lower and an upper mast stand.
  • suitable mounted means such as for example a hydraulic piston cylinder unit, for displacing the mast frame along the tower stand.
  • the invention is characterised in that the upper mast stand comprises two parallel slides which are movable relatively to the mast frame, each one of the slides being journalled to the upper end of its stay and also connected to the lower mast stand by means of an element permitting the slides to be individually or jointly displaced along the mast frame.
  • the elements for displacement of the slides suitable consists of hydraulic piston-cylinder units to which pressure medium is supplied from the crane driver cab, in which case the adjustment of the mast can be conveniently performed by the crane driver from the crane driver cabin.
  • the lower mast stand is journalled, preferably by means of a ball joint, to the arm that is pivotably mounted on the vehicle body portion.
  • the arm By folding the arm inwards or unfolding it outwards it is then possible to change the inclination of the mast in a vertical plane which intersects perpendicularly the vertical plane in which the inclination of the mast can be changed by displacement of above-mentioned slides along the mast frame.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation of an assembly in accordance with the invention, the mast being in pile driving position,
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the mast framework proper
  • FIG. 3 shows in unbroken lines a view similar to the one in FIG. 1 but with the mast having been moved further away from the crane driver cabin and in broken lines the mast in collapsed position, the drop hammer and the pad having been removed,
  • FIG. 4 is a rear view of the mast as seen from the left with relation to FIG. 1 and this figure shows the mast in unbroken lines in its vertical position and in broken lines in (excessively) inclined position, and
  • FIG. 5 shows on an enlarged scale a horizontal section through the mast on the line VV in FIG. 1.
  • the assembly comprises a track-lying vehicle to be propulsed by its own engine, which vehicle is provided at its chassis 1, with body portion 2 which is rotatably mounted about a vertical shaft and supports a crane driver cabin 3 housing at least two capstans 4, 5.
  • One 5 of the capstans is used to hoist the drop hammer 6 of the pile driving assembly by means of a rope 7 travelling over a pulley 8 at the upper end of the mast 9.
  • the mast 9 consists of a mast frame 10 (FIG. 2) and a stand formed by two portions, viz. a lower stand portion 11 and an upper stand portion 12.
  • the lower stand portion 11 is by means of a horizontal pivot shaft 13 connected with a cross piece 14.
  • this cross piece is connected with the lower end of an arm 16, the upper end of which is journalled to a forwardly projecting support 18 on the vehicle body portion 2, by means of a transverse shaft 17.
  • a hydraulic piston-cylinder 19, 20 for swinging the arm and thereby also the lower end of the mast 9.
  • the upper stand portion 12 consists of two sleeve-like slides 21, 22 which are separately displaceable along the rear edge 23 of the mast frame 10, said edge forming guides for said slides.
  • Each sleeve 21, 22 is in turn formed by two sections 24, 25 which are hingedly interconnected by a transverse shaft 26 disposed at the rear edge of the mast 9.
  • the upper end of the mast 9 is supported by means of two stays 27, 28 each one of which is connected at its upper end by means of a horizontal pivot shaft 29 with the upper section 24 of the slides 21 and 22, respectively.
  • the stays 27, 28 are journalled to the vehicle body 2.
  • the mast frame 10 consists of two sections, viz. one upper 31 and one lower 32.
  • the frame sections 31, 32 are interconnected by means of a horizontal pivot shaft 33 situated at the rear edge 23 of the frame.
  • :1 locking sleeve 34 (not shown in FIG. 2) is provided and disposed in a way permitting it to be moved to a position exactly above the joint 35 between the frame sections, a position in which the sleeve can be securely fastened to the frame 10 (FIG. 1).
  • the two frame sections 31, 32 are provided with a longitudinally extending guide 36 for the drop hammer 6 and the helmet 37 the latter being situated underneath the hammer and reposing during the pile driving activity on the head end of the pile 38 to be driven into the ground 39.
  • a hydraulic piston-cylinder 41, 42 whereby vertical displacement of the frame 10 relatively to the stand portions 11, 12 is made possible.
  • the frame 10 can be displaced in such a way that the lower end thereof rests on the ground 39 (which might be the bottom of a cavity 43 adjacent the vehicle chassis 1).
  • the hydraulic. piston-cylinders 19, 20 permit adjustment of the mast 9 in a definite, desired inclined position in a vertical plane passing through the mast and the crane driver cabin 3, or in an exact vertical position.
  • Hydraulic piston-cylinders 44, 45 and 46, 47, respectively, are mounted between the lower stand portion 11 and the two slides 21, 22. These cylinders permit adjustment of the mast 9 in a certain desired inclined position laterally or also for adjustment into exact, vertical position.
  • a pile driving apparatus on a vehicle said vehicle having a chassis, a body portion with a crane cabin rotatable on said chassis, a capstan housed in said crane cabin, a drop hammer, said capstan adapted to pull in a hoisting cable for said hammer, said hammer displaceable up and down along a guide on a mast, said mast at its upper end I I r 4 v I J- supported by two stays, said stays at the lower ends'journalled to said body portion, an arm journalled tos'aid body portion to swing in a vertical plane, said mast being connected at its lower end to said arm, a frame comprised in said mast, said frame provided with said guide" for the said hammer, said guide also serving for guiding V a helmet situated beneath said drop'hammelrfan upper mast stand and a lowermast stand guiding said frame, a means arranged between said .upper and said lower mast stands and said frame for displacement of said' frame along the mast, said lower mast stand journalled to said swingable arm
  • a pile driving apparatus as claimed inclaim 1 in which said lower-mast stand' is jou-rnalled to said arm in a way to permit said mast to be adjusted in any-direc tion with regard to its inclination in relation tothe vertical line. 3.
  • a pile driving apparatus as claimed in claim which said lower mast stand is journa'lled, by means of a ball joint, to said arm in a way to permit said mast to be adjusted in any direction with regard to its inclination in relation to the vertical line.
  • each slide comprises two hingedly interconnected slide portions arranged on the top of each other, the upper one of said slide portions connected with its stay and the lower one connected to said lower mast stand by means'of a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit permitting a displacement of said two slides individually along said frame.
  • each slide comprises two'hingedly interconnected slide portions arranged on the top of each other, the upperone of said slide portions connected with its stay and the lower one connected to said lower mast stand by means of a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit permitting a displacement.
