Definitions

  • Devices for compacting soil or for boring holes that utilize a vibrator body containing a vibration generator adapted to drive the vibrator body in horizontal vibrations which then impinge on the surrounding soil or other solids to be compacted or bored.
  • the object of the invention is to devise a vibrator equipment in which the coupling, so far as possible, is not subject to any horizontal vibration and hence does not need to be made elastic.
  • the solution of this problem is found by the present invention in a vibrator with a body relatively long in vertical dimension in which the vibration generator is arranged in the region of one end of the vibrator body and in which the coupling to the shaft is located at a vibration node of the vibrator body.
  • the upper end of the body which may generally take the form of a tapered extension penetrating the interior of the shaft, weights serve to place the node at a convenient point for coupling, which is to say they make possible the use of a relatively short upper extension.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial longitudinal section through the vibrator body which is suspended on a hollow shaft
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the coupling.
  • the vibrator body 1 is a hollow structure having a pointed bit 2 at one end and at the other end an extension 3 of smaller diameter than that of the hollow body 1.
  • a vibration generator 4 of known type is provided which is driven by a drive motor 5 located above the vibrating element 4.
  • a drive motor 5 located above the vibrating element 4.
  • an electric or hydraulic motor can be used in a known way.
  • the position of the node can be approximated by calculation or experiment and if coupling at the position first determined is found still to transmit some vibration when the vibrator is loaded by its work, a small shift of the axial position of the counterweights will shift the node to the coupling location.
  • a vibrator adapted for mounting on a hollow Shaft for boring into the earth or for vibratory earth compacting comprising, in combination,
  • a non-elastic, mechanical coupling adapted to hang said elongated body on a hollow shaft in such a way that said extension projects into said shaft and that the attachment of said coupling to said body is in a location where a vibration node is found when said body is excited into transverse vibrations by said generator;
  • e. counterweight means mounted on said reduced girth extension of the elongated body to shift the vibration node to the coupling location.
  • a vibrator as defined in claim 1 in which said body is essentially cylindrical in shape, said work surface is the surface of a tough conical point and said generator is adapted to excite said vibrations at a location near said work surface.
  • a device for vibratory boring into the earth or vibratory earth compacting which comprises, in combination:
  • an elongated body having an elongated cavity therein, having a work surface at its lower extremity and having an extension of reduced girth providing its other extremity;
  • a supporting shaft for said body which shaft is hollow at least at and near its lower end, said shaft having a girth approximately equal to or slightly smaller than that of said elongated body and having hollow space sufficiently larger than said extension of said body to permit said extension to vibrate without impinging on said shaft;
  • counterweight means mounted on said reduced girth extension of the elongated body to shift the node of said vibrations to the coupling location.
