Definitions

  • a mast comprises an upper and a lower section, and the upper section is mounted on a rotary table or frame so that it may be raised upright in hole digging or pile driving operation while the lower section is held upright at the rear of the table or frame and is adapted to be removably joined to the upper section when it is raised upright through a ball-and-socket joint or the like.
  • a hole digger and a pile driver which are mounted on the mast describe the same circle about a common center when the rotary table is rotated so that te pile driver maybe easily and precisely aligned with the hole dug by the hole digger.
  • the present invention relates to a truck-mounted hole digger and pile driver.
  • a common truck or the like is used to mount thereupon a hole digging equipment and a pile driving equipment, but the hole digging equipment must be replaced with the pile driving equipment or vice versa depending upon the hole digging or pile driving operation.
  • a mast is pivoted to a slidable and rotatable carriage or table mounted upon a chassis of a truck or the like in such a manner that the upper section of the mast may be raised and held upright (as will be described in more detail hereinafter); a hole digger and a pile driver are mounted on the mast in such a manner that when the turntable is rotated they describe the same circle about a common center; and a hammer of the pile driver is stored in a lower position of the truck or the like.
  • FIG. I is a side view of a truck-mounted hole digger and pile driver in accord with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a top view thereof
  • FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof.
  • FIG. 4 is a side view illustrating a mast thereof in upright position for digging a hole or driving a pile into a drilled or dug hole.
  • a mast 8 comprises an upper section and a lower section.
  • the upper mast section 8 is pivoted at an appropriate portion close to the lower end thereof to the bracket 9 with a pivot pin 10 while the lower mast section is securely fixed in upright position to the slide table 3 along the back of the bracket 9 as best shown in FIG.
  • top sheaves 15 for lifting a hammer, swivel or pile
  • lead pipes 23a and 23b for a hammer and an auger are fixed to the mast longitudinally thereof.
  • a hammer I] is supported by the pair of hammer lead pipes 23a in such a manner that it may be stored along the lower mast section dismounted from and be slidable on the lead pipes 23a.
  • the auger lead pipes 23b support an auger 18 having a cutter 19, a power swivel for driving the auger I8 by a hydraulic motor 21 and an auger guide 22 in such a manner that all of them may be removed from and be slidable on the auger lead pipes 231;. It should be noted that as shown in FIG.
  • the hammer l1 and the auger 18 are disposed in the form of a letter V with respect to the bearing 4 so that both of the centers of the hammer 11 and the auger 18 may describe the same circle A about the bearing 4 as shown in FIG. 2 when the turntable 29 is rotated.
  • a jack 27 At the'lower end .of the/mast-S is fixed a jack 27 which may be extended in the same way as the front and rear outriggers 25 and 26 to stably support the chassis l.
  • an oil tank 28 which is communicated with a hydraulic pump driven by a truck engine so that the working oil under pressure may be supplied to the respective hydraulic motors.
  • the outriggers 25 and 26 and the jack 27 of the mast are extended as shown in FIG. 4 to stably support the chassis 1.
  • the operator operates one of the levers 5 (See FIG. 1) to energize the hydraulic motor 14 so that the screw rod 12 is caused to rotate upwardly.
  • the arm 8a is caused to move upwardly along the screw rod 12 so that the upper portion of the mast 8 is raised and held upright as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the upper portion of the mast 8 is raised upright, it is coupled to the lower portion through the socket and ball joint so that the mast 8 may be now held in more stable upright position.
  • the winch 7 is also operated to loosen the wires coupled to the hammer 11 and the auger l8 gradually as the mast 8 is raised.
  • the turntable 29 and the slide table 3 thereby rotate and move the mast 8 without displacing the truck so that the center of the auger 18 may be aligned with the axis of a hole to be dug.
  • the auger drive device 20 is energized so that the'auger 18 starts to rotate and slide downwardly along the auger lead pipes 23b.
  • the cutter 19 of the auger l8 drills the hole and the drilled soil or the like is moved upwardly to the surface of the ground.
  • the auger 18 is withdrawn out of the hole, and a pile is placed into the drilled hole. Thereafter the rotary table 29 is rotated through an appropriate angle so that the center of the hammer 11 describes the circle A in FIG. 2 until it aligns with the axisof the drilled hole or pile. Thus the pile may be driven into a desired depth by the hammer in a manner well known in the art.
  • the screw rod 12 has been used for raising or lowering the mast 8, but is readily seen that instead of the screw rod 12, a suitable hydraulic power cylinder may be used. It is further understood that various variations and modifications may be effected without departing the scope of the present invention.
  • the mast may be raised upright in operation and may be stored in horizontal position when not used so that the truck-mounted hole digger and pile driver may travel to a field site having a narrow space without violating the traffic laws or regulations.
  • the hammer is transported together with the mast so that the stability of the truck may be ensued. (In the prior art machines, the stability of the truck or the like is adversely affected when the heavy weight mast is mounted).
  • the hole digger or auger and the pile driver or hammer describe the same circle so that they may be precisely and easily made into alignment with the axis of a hole to be drilled and a pile to be driven into the ground without displacing the truck.
  • the pile foundation work may be accomplished within a very short time.
  • the mast may be displaced to a desired position without moving the truck so that the efficiency may be much improved and that the operation may be accomplished even by the unskilled operators.
  • the mast When the screw rod is used for raising the mast in upright position, the mast may be supported by the screw threads so that a safety device may be eliminated.
  • An earth boring and pile driving apparatus comprising a mobile truck having a turntable rotatable mounted on said truck, a bearing for supporting said turntable for rotatable movement, a carriage slidably mounted on said turntable, a mast having a first section carried by said carriage and normally disposed in a vertical upright position at the rear of the truck, said mast having a second section normally occupying a horizontal position, said second section carried by said carriage, an earth auger mounted on said second section, means for moving said second section and auger into a vertical earth boring position, the lower end of said second section being adapted to be connected with the upper end of the first section when the second section is moved to said vertical position, a pile driving weight mounted on said second section for driving a pile, the longitudinal axes of said weight and said auger being spaced the same distance from said bearing so that after the boring operation and insertion of a pile in the bored hole, the turntable is rotated to precisely align the axis of said weight with the axis of the hole.
