[0002] Steel pipe pile driving is a key process in bridge foundation construction at sea or in water. Steel pipe piles are used for positioning and installation support of large-tonnage precast components such as bridge piers and abutments. It is characterized by high construction accuracy requirements, complex working conditions, and a large number of piles to be driven.

[0016] This invention provides a pile-gripping device for driving large-diameter steel pipe piles. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) The pile clamping device for driving large-diameter steel pipe piles, by setting a quick adjustment mechanism, a spacing clamping mechanism and a centralized control mechanism on the front side of the mounting frame, enables the device to quickly adjust the centering of steel pipe piles of different specifications and in a swaying state through the quick adjustment mechanism during the process of centering the steel pipe piles. Simultaneously, through the above cooperation, it can also perform vertical spacing clamping of the steel pipe piles, and after the upper clamping cylinder rises to the designated position, it automatically tightens the centering pressure plate in the quick adjustment mechanism, so that the swaying steel pipe piles can be automatically and quickly centered and positioned.
[0018] (2) The pile clamping device for driving large-diameter steel pipe piles reduces frictional resistance by setting a second ball on the extrusion surface of the central pressure plate. When the central pressure plate extrudes and adjusts the steel pipe pile in the center, the second ball can reduce frictional resistance.
[0019] (3) The pile holding device for driving large-diameter steel pipe piles uses a pressure bar, spring and button between the centering pressure plate and the indicator light. The centering pressure plate can be pressed against the steel pipe pile by the pressure bar, so that the indicator light can be activated. The number of indicator lights lit can help the staff understand the centering adjustment progress.
[0020] (4) The large-diameter steel pipe pile driving device uses a sliding sleeve and a first ball bearing respectively on the surface and end of the movable rod to enable the movable rod to move smoothly in the trajectory inside the vertical groove and the spiral groove through the above-mentioned cooperation.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-10 This invention provides a technical solution: a pile clamping device for driving large-diameter steel pipe piles, including a mounting frame 1 and a lower pile clamping cylinder 2. The lower pile clamping cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the mounting frame 1. An upper pile clamping cylinder 3 is slidably installed on the front side of the mounting frame 1 and at the top of the lower pile clamping cylinder 2. A first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 4 is fixedly connected inside both the lower pile clamping cylinder 2 and the upper pile clamping cylinder 3. Several first hydraulic telescopic cylinders 4 are arranged equidistantly around the frame. A guide roller 5 is rotatably installed at the end of the extension of the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 4 through a bracket. A limiting groove 17 is opened on the front side of the mounting frame 1. A limiting slider 18 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 17. The front side of the limiting slider 18 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper pile clamping cylinder 3. A mounting hole 20 is opened at the top of the bend of the mounting frame 1. Several mounting holes 20 are equidistantly opened.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, to facilitate quick centering adjustment of the steel pipe pile, both the lower pile-holding cylinder 2 and the upper pile-holding cylinder 3 are equipped with a quick-adjustment mechanism 6. The quick-adjustment mechanism 6 includes two ring plates 601, which are rotatably mounted inside the lower pile-holding cylinder 2 and the upper pile-holding cylinder 3 via bearings. A polygonal groove 602 is provided on the top of the ring plate 601, and several sliding blocks 603 are equidistantly connected around the inside of the polygonal groove 602. A central pressure plate 604 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 603. A limit rod 605 is rotatably set on the top of the central pressure plate 604. A top plate 606 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of both the lower pile cylinder 2 and the upper pile cylinder 3. Several limit slots 607 that are used in conjunction with the limit rods 605 are equidistantly opened around the top of the top plate 606. An arc-shaped toothed push plate 608 is fixedly connected to the surface of the ring plate 601. Several second balls 16 are provided on the pressing surface of the central pressure plate 604.
[0035] The top center pressure plate 604 has a storage groove 9 inside, and a pressure strip 10 is slidably connected inside the storage groove 9. A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the pressure strip 10 and the storage groove 9. A button 12 is installed on the inner wall of the storage groove 9. Several indicator lights 13 that are used in conjunction with the button 12 are installed equidistantly around the top of the upper pile cylinder 3. For detailed explanation: the extension length of the pressure strip 10 is greater than that of the second ball bearing 16. Secondly, a thin plate is provided on the other side of the center pressure plate 604. The thickness of the thin plate is less than that of the center pressure plate 604, and the thin plate is offset from the pressure strip 10. This will not affect the concentrated adjustment of the pressure strip 10 and the steel pipe pile. Furthermore, the center pressure plate 604 can be tightly fitted with the adjacent center pressure plates 604 through the thin plate, so that several center pressure plates 604 can press in the same direction to complete the expansion and contraction of the combined space.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment, to facilitate multi-point clamping of steel pipe piles at intervals, a spacing clamping mechanism 7 is provided on the front side of the mounting frame 1. The spacing clamping mechanism 7 includes a second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 701. The second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 701 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the mounting frame 1 by a bracket. The end of the extension of the second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 701 and the rear side of the upper clamping cylinder 3 are both fixedly connected to a mounting frame 702. Rollers 703 are rotatably arranged between the two sides of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 702. Push-pull plates 704 are rotatably connected between the two rollers 703. Two push-pull plates 704 are symmetrically arranged. Through slots 19 for use with push-pull plates 704 are opened on both sides of the front side of the mounting frame 1.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, to facilitate automatic centering adjustment of the steel pipe pile, a centralized control mechanism 8 is provided on the front side of the mounting frame 1, which is used in conjunction with the quick-adjustment mechanism 6. The centralized control mechanism 8 includes a centralized control rod 801, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the top arc-shaped toothed push plate 608. A centralized control groove 802 that slides and adapts to the centralized control rod 801 is provided on the top of the bottom arc-shaped toothed push plate 608. A column 803 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting frame 1 through a bracket. A spiral groove 804 is provided on the surface of the column 803. A vertical groove 805 that communicates with the spiral groove 804 is provided on the surface of the column 803. A gear sleeve 806 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the upper pile-holding cylinder 3 through a bracket and bearing. A movable rod 807 that is used in conjunction with the vertical groove 805 and the spiral groove 804 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear sleeve 806. A sliding sleeve 14 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the movable rod 807. A first ball bearing 15 is provided at the end of the movable rod 807.
[0038] In use, the steel pipe pile is first hoisted to the top of the upper pile cylinder 3 by hoisting equipment, and then passes through the lower pile cylinder 2 through the upper pile cylinder 3. At this time, the steel pipe pile is kept suspended in the air. After centering and adjustment, the steel pipe pile is lowered to make it fall to the actual construction site. After the steel pipe pile contacts the ground, the top of the steel pipe pile is hammered downward with a pile hammer on site.
[0039] After the steel pipe pile is suspended and passes through the upper pile-holding cylinder 3 and the lower pile-holding cylinder 2, the operator activates the second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 701, which causes the rear mounting frame 702 and roller 703 to move forward with the push-pull plate 704. The push-pull plate 704 is pushed up gradually, and the rise of the push-pull plate 704 drives the upper pile-holding cylinder 3 to rise on the surface of the steel pipe pile, performing multi-point pile holding and centering limit;
[0040] The upper pile-holding cylinder 3 rises, causing the top arc-shaped toothed push plate 608 and gear sleeve 806 to rise. The gear sleeve 806 drives the movable rod 807 to enter the spiral groove 804 along the vertical groove 805. Accompanied by the squeezing and cooperation with the spiral groove 804, the movable rod 807 drives the gear sleeve 806 to rotate. The rotation of the gear sleeve 806 meshes with the top arc-shaped toothed push plate 608, causing the arc-shaped toothed push plate 608 to drive the ring plate 601 to rotate. The top arc-shaped toothed push plate 608 simultaneously drives the bottom arc-shaped toothed push plate 608 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the control rod 801 and the control groove 802.
[0041] The rotation of the ring plate 601 synchronously drives the sliding block 603 and the centering pressure plate 604 to rotate. Since the limiting rod 605 at the top of the centering pressure plate 604 is limited by the limiting groove 607, the centering pressure plate 604 slides synchronously on the top of the ring plate 601 as the ring plate 601 rotates. This causes the space enclosed by several centering pressure plates 604 to decrease synchronously, and the pressing surfaces of several centering pressure plates 604 to press the steel pipe pile synchronously until the steel pipe pile is centered. After the steel pipe pile is centered, the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 4 is activated, which causes the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 4 to reinforce the steel pipe pile through the guide roller 5.
