[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This auxiliary pile extraction device for steel pipe piles on water involves hoisting the assembled pontoon body and connecting frame onto the water surface, placing the steel pipe pile between two sets of connecting frames, and then installing and fixing the locking mechanism and pile extraction mechanism on the connecting platform and connecting frame.

At the same time, the inner wall of the pile extraction clamping block contacts the outer wall of the steel pipe pile. At this time, the external hydraulic control equipment simultaneously controls two sets of telescopic cylinders to extend and push the pile extraction top plate upward. The upward-moving pile extraction top plate drives the pile extraction sleeve to move upward through the fixing seat, and the pile extraction clamping block set in the pile extraction sleeve clamps and fixes the steel pipe pile under the action of the sliding groove, the limiting groove and the limiting slider. Thus, the steel pipe pile can be extracted as the pile extraction sleeve moves upward. This device facilitates the extraction of steel pipe piles on water.
[0016] 2. This auxiliary pile extraction device for steel pipe piles on water, after the telescopic cylinder extends to its maximum distance, the left and right sets of motors start simultaneously to control the movable sleeve to rotate forward, pushing out the locking slider to clamp and fix the steel pipe pile. The telescopic cylinder retracts to pull the top plate of the pile extraction back to its original position. During the process of the top plate of the pile extraction moving down to reset, the pile extraction sleeve moves down accordingly, and the pile extraction clamping block moves up under the action of the limiting slider and the limiting groove to release the clamping and fixing of the steel pipe pile. After the pile extraction sleeve and the top plate of the pile extraction move down to reset, the steel pipe pile is clamped again and moved up to perform the pile extraction reciprocating operation to pull out the steel pipe pile. This device facilitates the pile extraction mechanism to perform reciprocating pile extraction operations on steel pipe piles. Attached Figure Description

Please see Figure 5-6The pile extraction mechanism 4 includes a support base 401, a telescopic cylinder 402, a pile extraction top plate 403, a fixed base 404, a pile extraction sleeve 405, a sliding groove 406, a limiting groove 407, a limiting slider 408, a pile extraction clamping block 409, and a cover plate 410. The support base 401 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 102. The telescopic cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the support base 401. The pile extraction top plate 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic cylinder 402. The fixed base 404 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the pile extraction top plate 403. The pile extraction sleeve 405 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 404. The sliding groove 406 is formed on the inner wall of the pile extraction sleeve 405. A limiting groove 407 is formed inside the sliding groove 406. A limiting slider 408 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 407. A pile-pulling clamp 409 is fixedly connected to the limiting slider 408. A cover plate 410 is fixedly connected to the top of the pile-pulling sleeve 405. A telescopic cylinder 402 is connected to an external hydraulic control device. A circular hole is formed on the support base 401 and the pile-pulling top plate 403. The circular hole is equal to the inner diameter and center of the pile-pulling sleeve 405. The pile-pulling clamp 409 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 406. The cover plate 410 is set on the top of the pile-pulling clamp 409 and the limiting slider 408, and limits the upward movement of the limiting slider 408 and the pile-pulling clamp 409.
[0021] By setting up a pile extraction sleeve 405, a sliding groove 406, a limiting groove 407, a limiting slider 408, and a pile extraction clamping block 409, the pile extraction clamping block 409 is designed to be limited by the limiting groove 407 and the limiting slider 408 when the pile extraction sleeve 405 moves upward. Please see Figure 5 The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 301, a motor 302, a lead screw 303, a clamping sleeve 304, a movable sleeve 305, and a locking slider 306.

[0022] By setting up a clamping sleeve 304, a movable sleeve 305, and a locking slider 306, the steel pipe pile is clamped and fixed after the pile extraction mechanism 4 moves to the highest position. This allows the pile extraction mechanism 4 to disengage from the clamping and fixing of the steel pipe pile and move down to reset for the next pile extraction operation, thereby realizing the reciprocating pile extraction of the pile extraction mechanism 4. By setting up a fixed frame 301, a motor 302, and a lead screw 303, the movement of the locking slider 306 is controlled to clamp and fix the steel pipe pile.
[0023] Please see Figure 4The lower surface of the float body 1 is provided with a second connecting groove 201. A first connecting plate 202 is provided inside the first connecting groove 2, and a second connecting plate 203 is provided inside the second connecting groove 201. A connecting bolt 204 is provided on the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203. The first connecting plate 202 is fixedly installed in the two first connecting grooves 2 adjacent to each other at the bottom of the two sets of float bodies 1. The second connecting plate 203 is fixedly installed in the two second connecting grooves 201 adjacent to each other at the bottom of the two sets of float bodies 1. The threaded end of the connecting bolt 204 passes through the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203 and is fixedly connected to the float body 1.
[0024] By setting up a first connecting bottom groove 2, a second connecting bottom groove 201, a first connecting plate 202, and a second connecting plate 203, multiple sets of floating box bodies 1 can be spliced and fixed as needed, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the floating box body 1. By setting up connecting bolts 204, the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203 can be placed in the first connecting bottom groove 2 and the second connecting bottom groove 201 and then fall off.
[0025] Working principle: When the auxiliary pile extraction device for steel pipe piles on water is used, in the initial state, the connecting platform 101 is first set on the upper surface of the floating box body 1. A connecting frame 102 is set between the two sets of floating box bodies 1 and the connecting platform 101 to connect the bearing locking mechanism 3 and the pile extraction mechanism 4 and to extract the steel pipe pile. A first connecting bottom groove 2 and a second connecting bottom groove 201 are opened at the bottom of the floating box body 1. A first connecting plate 202 and a second connecting plate 203 are respectively set in the second connecting bottom groove 201 and the first connecting bottom groove 2 and fixed by connecting bolts 204, so as to splice multiple sets of floating box bodies 1, thereby improving the stability during pile extraction and meeting the requirements of pile extraction of different depths or sizes. When it is necessary to extract steel pipe piles, the assembled floating box body 1 and connecting frame 102 are first hoisted and placed on the water surface, with the steel pipe pile positioned between the two sets of connecting frames 102. Then, the locking mechanism 3 and the pile extraction mechanism 4 are installed and fixed on the connecting platform 101 and the connecting frame 102, and the top of the steel pipe pile is inserted into the clamping sleeve 304 and the pile extraction sleeve 405 through the fixing frame 301 and the pile extraction top plate 403. At the same time, the inner wall of the pile extraction clamp 409 contacts the outer wall of the steel pipe pile. At this time, the external hydraulic control equipment simultaneously controls the two sets of telescopic cylinders 402 to extend and push the pile extraction top plate 403 upward. The upward-moving pile extraction top plate 403 drives the pile extraction sleeve 405 upward through the fixing seat 404, and the pile extraction clamp 409 set in the pile extraction sleeve 405 is in the sliding groove 406 and the limiting groove 405. Under the action of 7 and the limiting slider 408, the steel pipe pile is clamped and fixed, so that the steel pipe pile can be pulled out by moving upward with the pile pulling sleeve 405. After the extension distance of the telescopic cylinder 402 reaches the maximum, the left and right motors 302 start simultaneously to control the movable sleeve 305 to rotate forward and push out the locking slider 306 to clamp and fix the steel pipe pile. The telescopic cylinder 402 retracts to pull the pile pulling top plate 403 back to its original position. During the process of the pile pulling top plate 403 moving down to reset, the pile pulling sleeve 405 moves down with it and the pile pulling clamp 409 moves up under the action of the limiting slider 408 and the limiting groove 407 to release the clamping and fixing of the steel pipe pile. After the pile pulling sleeve 405 and the pile pulling top plate 403 move down to reset, the steel pipe pile is clamped again and moved up to perform the pile pulling reciprocating operation to pull out the steel pipe pile. This device facilitates the pile pulling operation of steel pipe piles.
