[0038] Example 1:
[0039] This embodiment provides a smart detection drill bit for mixing piles, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a drill bit 1, a connector 2, and a detector 3. The drill bit 1 is connected to the detector 3 through the connector 2.
[0040] To ensure the overall waterproofness of the components, an annular sealing gasket 6 is installed between the drill bit 1 and the connector 2, a rotary sealing ring is installed between the rotating shaft and the connector, and an O-ring 7 is installed on the contact surface between the rotating shaft and the detector.
[0041] This embodiment uses Figure 1 The directions shown are for reference to define the upper and lower positions.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the drill bit 1 is cylindrical in shape. Its top end is used to connect to the mixing pile equipment, and the bottom inner wall is provided with a limiting groove 102. The limiting groove 102 is opened along the axial direction of the drill bit 1 and has a certain length. The limiting groove 102 cooperates with the slide rail 202 on the outside of the connector 2 to limit the relative rotation between the drill bit 1 and the connector 2.
[0043] In this embodiment, two limiting slides 102 are arranged opposite each other; of course, in other embodiments, the number of limiting slides 102 can be adjusted.
[0044] The drill bit 1 has an external threaded hole 103 at its bottom end, and a connector is installed in the external threaded hole 103 to connect and fix it to the connector 2. A conductive post 101 is also fixed to the inner wall of the drill bit 1.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of connector 2 is provided with slide rails 202 that correspond one-to-one with the limiting slide grooves 102, and the slide rails 202 are located inside the limiting slide grooves 102. The outer wall of connector 2 is also provided with internal thread holes 203, which correspond to external thread holes 103 and are fixed by internal hexagonal screws with adhesive.
[0046] The connector 2 includes a cylindrical section and a frustum section connected as one piece. The slide rail 202 is set on the cylindrical section so that the cylindrical section is inserted into the drill bit 1; the frustum section is connected to the detector 3.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the cylindrical section of connector 2 is provided with a mounting groove of a certain depth. The bottom of the mounting groove is connected to the mounting hole, which penetrates the frustoconical section of connector 2. A rotating shaft 4 is coaxially mounted in the mounting hole, and bearings 8 are mounted at both ends of the rotating shaft 4. Snap rings 9 are installed on the side of the two bearings 8 that are far apart from each other. The snap rings 9 are located in the snap ring groove 205, and the vertical displacement of the rotating shaft 4 and bearings 8 is restricted by the snap rings 9.
[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a conductive post female seat 204 is provided in the mounting groove of connector 2, and the conductive post female seat 204 mates with the conductive post 101. A conductive post disk 5 is provided between the bottom of the conductive post female seat 204 and the rotating shaft 4, and the conductive post disk 5 is installed in the slot 201 opened inside connector 2.
[0049] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the conductive post disk 5 is generally disc-shaped, with symmetrical protrusions on both sides. These protrusions are positioned within the slot 201 and secured with screws. The bottom surface of the conductive post disk 5 has several banana-head conductive posts 501. In this embodiment, the banana-head conductive posts 501 are arranged in a row at intervals along the center of the conductive post disk 5. The banana-head conductive posts 501 cooperate with the conductive ring groove 401 at the top of the rotating shaft 4 to achieve conductive connection between the relatively rotating components.
[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the middle section of the rotating shaft 4 is larger than that of both ends to form a shoulder for mounting the bearing 8. A conductive ring groove 401 is provided at the top of the rotating shaft 4, which engages with the banana-head conductive post 501. The rotating shaft 4 has an internal cavity 402, which is connected to a conductive wire and a quick-connect connector, allowing connection to the conductive wire inside the detector 3 to form a pathway. The bottom of the rotating shaft 4 has an internal threaded hole 403, through which a threaded connection to the detector 3 is achieved.
[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the top of the detector 3 is a threaded post 305, which mates with the internal threaded hole 403 of the rotating shaft 4. In use, the detector 3 replaces the waterproof protective head 11 at the bottom of the drill bit 1, as shown... Figure 10 As shown, one end of the waterproof protective head 11 is a tapered tip, and the other end is provided with a threaded post 601, which is connected to the drill bit 1.
[0052] The detector 3 is equipped with multiple stabilizing wings 304 circumferentially. These stabilizing wings 304 restrict the rotation of the detector 3 within the soil, reducing the impact of drill bit 1 rotation on detection accuracy. In this embodiment, stabilizing wings 304 are installed near both ends of the detector 3. The stabilizing wing 304 near the top has a trapezoidal structure, and its outermost edge has a downward slope to adapt to the drilling direction. The stabilizing wing 304 near the bottom of the detector 3 has a triangular structure, with its hypotenuse located on the outermost side.
[0053] Detector 3 is equipped with various detection elements, such as a static cone penetrometer 301, a pore pressure sensor 302, and a humidity sensor 303, which are selected according to the detection requirements; for example... Figure 6 As shown, the humidity sensor 303, the pore pressure sensor 302, and the static cone penetration test probe 301 are connected in sequence from top to bottom, with the humidity sensor 303 and the static cone penetration test probe 301 having a fixed stabilizing wing 304 on their outer sides.

[0057] 3) The equipment drills down at a constant speed. When the grout nozzle of drill bit 1 reaches the ground, water is sprayed until drill bit 1 reaches the set depth. At this time, the soil layer detection data is transmitted to the central control unit of the equipment. After data processing, soil layer depth and soil type data are generated. Based on the pre-set pile type parameters, the pre-set key parameters such as grouting pressure at different depth nozzles and drill bit lifting speed are completed.
[0058] 4) The equipment is raised according to the set parameters, the water spraying stops and the cement slurry is sprayed until the equipment spray nozzle is raised to the ground, the spraying stops, and the equipment continues to be raised until the bottom of the detector 3 is about 1m from the ground.
[0059] 5) Move the pile driver to the location as required by the project, and repeat steps 3-4 until the construction is completed. After the construction is completed, remove the drill bit detector and replace it with the waterproof protective head 11.
[0060] This embodiment uses a special rotating shaft 4 to achieve rotational support and rotational conductivity during the working process, thereby enabling the detector 3 to remain relatively stationary and press down at a uniform speed during the rotation of the drill bit 1. The detector 3 can be used to perform advanced detection of underground soil layers during the construction of cement mixing piles, thereby enabling real-time adjustment of pile forming processes for different soil layers.

[0071] (4) The equipment drills down at a constant speed of 1.2m / min. When the grouting nozzle of drill bit 1 reaches the ground, water is sprayed until drill bit 1 reaches the set depth of 10m.

Based on the pre-set pile type parameters, the pre-set key parameters such as grouting pressure at different depth grouting nozzles and the lifting speed of drill bit 1 are completed.
