Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to rotary drilling rigs in the field of building construction technology, and more particularly to a rotary drilling rig and construction method for drilling ultra-large diameter bored piles. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of economic construction and the continuous expansion of infrastructure projects, rotary drilling rigs have been widely used in various infrastructure constructions due to their significant advantages such as convenient construction, high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. In recent years, with the accelerated pace of large-scale bridge construction, the diameter of bored piles drilled by rotary drilling rigs has been increasing. This has presented unprecedented challenges to the manufacturing and transportation costs of drilling tools and the rotary drilling rig construction methods. The proposed Xihoumen Railway-Highway Bridge's main tower pier foundation design utilizes 18 ultra-large diameter bored piles with a diameter of φ6300mm. However, there are currently no precedents for rotary drilling rigs and construction methods used to drill ultra-large diameter bored piles with a diameter greater than φ4500mm.
[0003] In the construction of traditional large-diameter bored piles with diameters ranging from φ2500mm to φ4500mm, a staged drilling technique is typically used. This involves initially using a small-diameter drill bit, followed by progressively enlarging the hole with an enlarging drill bit until the designed diameter and depth are reached. However, for ultra-large-diameter bored piles with a diameter of φ6300mm, the rotary drilling rigs and construction methods employed using the traditional staged drilling technique have several shortcomings and problems:
[0004] On the one hand, drilling 6300mm diameter bored piles involves multiple stages, increasing the number of rotary drilling tools required. Especially for ultra-large diameter rotary drilling tools, the weight increases dramatically to ensure strength, directly increasing construction costs significantly. On the other hand, rotary drilling tools with diameters ranging from 4500mm to 6300mm have excessively wide transport widths, making transportation difficult, significantly increasing costs and risks, and even making them impossible to transport. Another drawback is that traditional staged drilling technology, with its rotary drilling tools primarily consisting of rock drills and sand scoops, cannot meet the construction requirements of ultra-large diameter bored piles. To ensure drilling quality and safe construction, not only are multiple types of rotary drilling tools needed, but a completely new construction method is also required to achieve this goal. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Objective: To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a rotary drilling rig and construction method for drilling ultra-large diameter bored piles. It enables the disassembly, transportation, and on-site assembly of rotary drilling tools with diameters exceeding 4500mm. Each disassembled component meets ordinary transportation requirements, solving the problem of difficult transportation of ultra-large diameter rotary drilling rigs and reducing transportation difficulty and construction costs. The construction method of this invention achieves the combined use of various types of drilling tools, including lower guide tools, upper guide tools, and full-section drilling tools, by replacing the guide body and cutting body. This meets the needs of staged drilling construction for ultra-large diameter bored piles exceeding 4500mm, filling a gap in rotary drilling rig construction for ultra-large diameter bored piles, reducing the overall weight of the drilling rig, and lowering construction costs while ensuring drilling speed and quality.
[0006] Technical solution: The rotary drilling rig for drilling ultra-large diameter bored piles of the present invention includes a main body, a cutting body and a guide body, wherein the cutting body and the guide body are fixed on the main body;

[0011] The construction method for forming ultra-large diameter bored piles according to the present invention includes the following steps:
[0012] (1) Install double-layer steel casing: First, use a vibratory hammer and a hydraulic hammer to install the double-layer steel casing in place, and insert the casing into the stable soil layer, especially when constructing on a water platform, to ensure construction safety and accurate hole position;
[0013] (2) Drilling of a Φ4500mm diameter hole: Using conventional drilling tools, the hole was reamed in stages. The process was as follows:

[0020] (3.1) Use a guide drill bit one size larger than Φ4500mm to enlarge the hole and drill for 3m-5m;
[0021] (3.2) Use an upper guide drill bit that is one size larger than Φ4500mm to continue drilling to the design depth, increase the overall height of the drill bit, and ensure the verticality of the borehole;
[0022] (3.3) Use a Φ4500mm sand-retrieving bucket in conjunction with a guide drill bit to retrieve drill cuttings until the designed depth is reached;
[0023] (3.4) Repeat steps (3.1), (3.2) and (3.3) with a lower guide drill bit, an upper guide drill bit, a hole reaming drill bit and a 4500mm sand scooping bucket that are one size larger than the borehole diameter used in the previous step to enlarge the borehole formed in the previous step until the designed diameter and depth are reached.
[0024] (4) Hole bottom leveling: Use full-section drilling tools to cut the bottom of the hole flat;
[0025] (5) One-time hole cleaning: Use a Φ4500mm sand scoop to remove sediment multiple times;
[0026] (6) Lowering the steel cage: The steel cage is installed using a hole-and-hole connection method, and a detection tube is installed;
[0027] (7) Secondary hole cleaning: Install concrete pouring pipe, set up forward and reverse circulation device on the pipe, and use forward and reverse circulation process to clean the hole. Multiple sets of forward and reverse circulation devices are used according to the diameter.
[0028] (8) Concrete pouring: After the second cleaning of the hole, the forward and reverse circulation device is removed, and concrete is poured using a guide pipe.
[0029] In step (1), the inner diameter of the outer steel casing of the double-layer steel casing is 100-300 mm larger than the diameter of the hole.
[0030] In step (2.2), if a core sample cannot be obtained, a sand scoop of the same diameter is used to crush and retrieve the sample until the designed depth is reached.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the pile hole is Φ6300mm and the drilling depth is 100m.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the rotary drilling rig for drilling ultra-large diameter bored piles of the present invention includes a main body 1, a cutting body 2 and a guide body 3.

[0049] A set of mounting seats 11 is provided on the upper and lower parts of the outer wall of the main body 1. The pressure plate 111 of each set of mounting seats 11 transmits the pressure provided by the rotary drilling rig power head on the same plane. The side 112 of the mounting seat forms a square head base that cooperates with the cutting body 2 to transmit torque.
[0050] The cutting body 2 includes 2 to 4 cutting body units, which are detachably assembled with the main body 1 via pins 4. After assembly, they are welded and fixed to form a cutting body with an outer circle and an inner square.

[0065] (3.2) The upper guide drill bit with a cutting body of Φ5000mm and a guide body of Φ5000mm is used to continue drilling to the design depth. Compared with conventional drill bits, the height of the drill bit is increased under the condition of a certain weight, which ensures the verticality of the borehole.
[0066] (3.3) Use a Φ4500mm sand-retrieving bucket in conjunction with a guide drill bit to retrieve drill cuttings until the designed depth is reached;
