Definitions
- the present invention relates to a machine for producing a continuous wall in the ground and a method for producing such a wall.
- the most commonly used technique is to dig a trench corresponding to the layout of the wall to be made and fill the trench with concrete with, possibly, use of a frame. More specifically, most often the trench is made in successive sections, the trench section dug being then filled with concrete to form a panel of the continuous wall.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,893,302 discloses a machine and method for excavating trenches and constructing walls in excavated trenches.
- This machine comprises a cutting tool disposed in the front part of the machine in the form of an endless excavation chain provided with buckets.
- the back of the machine includes a vertical conduit for bringing concrete from a container located outside the trench towards the back of the machine to fill the trench just dug.
- This machine has a certain number of drawbacks and in particular the fact that the continuous chain with buckets does not make it possible to carry out the excavation of the trench in all terrains, in particular such a cutting tool can not be used in hard ground.
- a first object of the present invention is to provide a machine for producing continuous walls in the soil which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the machine for producing a continuous wall in the ground comprises:
- a rear part comprising: . first anchoring means in the side walls of the trench; and
- said cutting means comprises:
- the cutter during its movement down and up the entire height of the trench, not only performs the cutting of the soil but also the mixing of it with the water that is usually naturally present in the soil. This gives a pasty material that can be easily extracted later.
- materials during drilling especially if the amount of water present is insufficient to obtain the pasty state.
- These materials can be of the mud, with or without a polymer, and additives conditioning the soil to alter its consistency and / or permeability.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for producing continuous walls in the soil using in particular but not exclusively the excavating machine described above.
- the method of producing a continuous wall in the ground comprises the steps of:
- the digging of the trench sections is carried out by the vertical displacement of a rotary tool capable of cutting the soil in the trench and kneading in the trench the cut soil to transform it into a material at the pasty condition.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire excavating machine, out of the wall and carried by a handling crane;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the lower part of the excavating machine
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the means for extracting the material in the pasty state
- - Figure 4 is a top view of the lower part of the machine; and - Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the entire machine in use.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a handling crane comprising a platform 10 preferably equipped with tracks 12 which carries a substantially vertical arrow 14. This arrow is used to support cable forming muffle 16 at the lower end of which is suspended the excavating machine itself 18.
- the cutting tool of the excavating machine is a milling cutter 20 which will be described in more detail later.
- the cutter 20 can be moved vertically along the chassis of the excavating machine 18 by means of a control bar
- control bar 22 can be moved vertically using a winch of the handling crane.
- Marker 24 indicates a surface guiding structure of control bar 22.
- FIGS. 2 and 4 a preferred embodiment of the excavating machine 18 will be described. It consists of a front portion 26 and a rear portion 28.
- the front portion 26 comprises a frame constituting a vertical guide piece 29, a cut soil extraction device 30 and preferably injection tubes in the cut material of a liquid adjuvant, these tubes being referenced 32 and 34.
- the front portion 26 also includes two sets of two lateral anchor pads in the side walls of the trench respectively referenced 36 and 38. These pads are controlled by cylinders 40. In the extended position, the pads 36 and 38 bear on the walls 42 of the trench and thus ensure the immobilization of the front portion 26 of the excavating machine.
- the rear portion 28 of the excavating machine is essentially constituted by a vertical frame 44 and a pipe 46 for pouring concrete into the trench section made.
- the rear portion 28 also comprises two sets of lateral pads 48 and 50 controlled by jacks 52. In the extended position, the pads 48 and 50 form anchoring means in the side walls 42 of the trench and thus ensure the immobilization of the rear portion 28 of the excavating machine 18.
- the front portion 26 is also equipped with the cutting tool 20 mounted at the lower end of the control bar 22.
- the cutting tool is constituted by a mill equipped with two drums 54 and 56 whose axis is horizontal and parallel to the width of the trench to be produced. This cutter is rotatably mounted on a support 58 which is guided in translation by the guide member 29.
- the drums 54 and 56 are equipped with peaks 59 of known type.
- the cutting tool 20 constituted by the drums 54 and 56 could be mounted on a support guided by the vertical guide 29, this support being equipped with a motor allowing the translation of the cutting tool 20 between a lower position corresponding to the bottom of the trench and an upper position in which the cutting tool is disposed above the trench.
- the front 26 and rear 28 parts of the excavating machine are interconnected by at least two horizontally lower horizontal cylinders 60 and upper 62 respectively. These cylinders make it possible to modify the horizontal distance between the front 26 and rear 28 parts of the machine. excavating machine and apply a thrust on the front portion 26 of the excavating machine.
- this intermediate portion of the excavating machine is also equipped with a system 64 to allow the front and rear parts to take a certain angulation in a horizontal plane.
- This system is constituted for example by a control cylinder 66 mounted on the body of the upper cylinder 62, this control cylinder 66 controlling a rod 68 whose one end is integral with the end of the rod of the control jack 66 and whose other end is connected to the frame of the front portion 26 of the excavating machine.
- a second link 70 constitutes a deformable parallelogram with the first link 68. It is thus understood that it is possible by controlling the control cylinder 66 to give the front part 26 of the excavating machine a certain angulation with respect to its part. back in a horizontal plane. Thus, it is possible to make a non-rectilinear trench. Before giving this angulation, it controls the raising of the cutting tool 20 so that it is disposed above the trench.
- FIG. 3 there is shown a preferred embodiment of the system 30 for extracting cut materials.
- This system extraction is constituted by a cylindrical piece 80 whose height is at least equal to the height of the frame of the excavating machine. Inside this cylindrical part 80 is rotatably mounted an endless screw 82 with a vertical axis 84. At the upper part of the part 80 is mounted a motor 86 for rotating the worm. The upper end of the piece 80 also has an outlet for the evacuation of the extracted materials.
- the cylindrical piece 80 has on its height several openings such as 88 having significant dimensions to allow the introduction of the cut materials to be excavated on the worm 82.
- Non-purely hydraulic means of extraction means means which do not use a suspension in a liquid debris resulting from the action of the cutting tool.
- the use of such extraction means is made possible in particular because the cut soil is converted into a material in the pasty state. The fact that the removal of debris takes place without the use of large quantities of liquid considerably simplifies the reprocessing of the cuttings.
- a first section constituting a panel of the depth of the structure is made with conventional means such as a skip or a hydraulic bucket.
- the width of this first trench section corresponds to the dimensions of the width of the excavating machine.
- the panel is filled with mud.
- the excavating machine 18 is then introduced into this trench section, and then positioned to begin the horizontal drilling process.
- the machine is immobilized by the front cylinders 36 and 38. It is made to penetrate vertically into the ground the cutting tool 20.
- This cutting tool is constituted by a cutter whose drums are driven preferably by a hydraulic motor, the drums being provided with drilling peaks.
- the cutting capacities of such a tool make it possible to pass all the layers of ground conventionally present on the building sites.
- the materials are not extracted. They are cut and mixed with the water present in the soil and preferably with materials injected by the pipes 32 and 34 during drilling. These materials can be mud with or without polymer and additives conditioning the soil to change its consistency and / or its permeability.
- the drums realize not only the cutting of the ground to make the trench, but also a mixing of the cut soil.
- the rear pads 50 and 52 are placed in the extended position to anchor the trench of the rear portion 28 of the machine and the front pads are retracted.
- the horizontal cylinders 60 and 62 apply a thrust on the front portion 26 of the excavating machine and in particular on the system 30 for extracting the material in the pasty state. This thrust is used to force the extraction system through the openings 82.
- the worm 84 causes the extraction of the material in the pasty state.
- the front side pads 36 and 38 are brought into the extended position to anchor the front portion 26 of the extraction machine and the rear pads retract.
- the horizontal cylinders 60 and 62 are retracted to bring the rear portion 28 of the front portion 26, thereby releasing a trench section at the rear of the machine.
- This trench section is immediately filled with concrete or other materials applicable to this type of work using the concreting system 46. It is understood that during the concreting operation, the excavation machine being blocked by the front pads, we can repeat the drilling phase using the cutting tool 20 to make a new trench section.
- the support of the cutting face of the trench is achieved by the support of the cutting tool 20 on the ground in the pasty state.
- the lateral support can be achieved by a biodegradable fluid exerting a hydrostatic pressure on the limited volume of the thrust module.
- the excavating machine comprises a system 64 which makes it possible to achieve a certain angulation in a horizontal plane between the front 26 and rear 28 parts of the excavating machine.
- a non-rectilinear trench can be made or, in the case of a straight trench, a horizontal error of trajectory can be corrected.
