Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a buffer structure of an ultra-large hydraulic hammer. Background Art

[0002] The diameter of offshore wind turbine monopile foundations is currently increasing, placing increasing demands on the energy of the pile hammer. During the pile driving process, ultra-large hydraulic hammers collide elastically with the pile top through alternating impacts, generating significant energy when the hammer rebounds. This rebound requires proper management to prevent damage. The current common solution is to use multiple metal-framed rubber rings for cushioning, but this approach is ineffective, lacks heat dissipation, and cannot fully absorb the rebound energy. Using a more effective cushioning cylinder, on the other hand, is susceptible to damage and is costly. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4The buffer structure of the super-large hydraulic hammer of the utility model includes a pile cap 1, a replacement hammer 2, a plurality of buffer cylinders 3, an anti-vibration washer 4, a plurality of buffer rings 5 and a hydraulic hammer 6.

[0022] The pile cap 1 comprises a sleeve 11 that fits over the top of the pile foundation, a top ring plate 12 connected to the top of the sleeve 11, and a frustoconical top plate 13 connected to the inner end of the top ring plate 12. A retaining ring 110 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the sleeve 11. A shock-absorbing cylinder 14 with a top flange extends coaxially upward from the center of the top plate 13. A plurality of axial through holes are uniformly distributed on the top ring plate 12.

[0023] The substitute driving ring 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the pile cap 1 and includes a substitute driving ring 21 and a substitute driving body 22; wherein, the axial section of the substitute driving ring 21 is L-shaped and includes a lower ring portion and an upper cylindrical portion connected to the top surface of the lower ring portion; the outer diameter of the substitute driving ring 21 is adapted to the inner diameter of the sleeve 11 of the pile cap 1, and the substitute driving ring 21 is installed on the retaining ring 110 in the sleeve 11 of the pile cap 1; the substitute driving body 22 is a frustum adapted to the upper inner cavity of the pile cap 1, the bottom diameter of the substitute driving body 22 is adapted to the inner diameter of the upper cylindrical portion of the substitute driving ring 21 and is smaller than the inner diameter of the top ring plate 12 of the pile cap 1, and the substitute driving body 21 is installed between the top plate 12 of the pile cap 1 and the lower ring portion of the substitute driving ring 21.

[0024] The plurality of buffer cylinders 3 are mounted one by one in the plurality of through holes provided on the top ring plate 12 of the pile cap 1, and the lower end surfaces of the piston rods of the plurality of buffer cylinders 3 are in contact with the top surface of the vertical portion of the replacement ring 21;

[0025] The anti-vibration washer 4 is installed at the lower end of the shock-absorbing cylinder 14 of the pile cap 1, and the lower end surface of the anti-vibration washer 4 is against the top surface of the substituting body 22; the anti-vibration washer 4 is made of metal, and the axial section of the anti-vibration washer 4 is inverted L-shaped.

[0026] Multiple buffer rings 5 are stacked within the shock-absorbing cylinder 14 of the pile cap 1 and located between the anti-vibration washer 4 and the top flange of the shock-absorbing cylinder 14. The buffer rings 5 are rubber rings with a metal skeleton. Several radial grooves 50 are formed on the top and bottom surfaces of each buffer ring 5 to dissipate heat and exhaust.

[0027] The hydraulic hammer 6 includes a hammer case 61 and a hammer core 62; wherein the hammer case 61 is connected to the top flange of the shock-absorbing cylinder 14 of the pile cap 1 through a bottom flange; the hammer core 62 is arranged in the hammer case 61 and inserted into multiple buffer rings 5 and anti-vibration washers 4 in the shock-absorbing cylinder 14 of the pile cap 1, and the lower end surface of the hammer core 62 is against the top surface of the substitute hitting body 22.

[0028] The buffer structure of the super-large hydraulic hammer of the present invention adopts a two-stage buffer structure, with multiple buffer cylinders 3 serving as the first-stage buffer structure; multiple stacked buffer rings 5 serving as the second-stage buffer structure, which also play a major buffering role. During use, the rebound force of the substitute hammer 2 is first transmitted to the multiple buffer cylinders 3 of the first-stage buffer structure through the substitute hammer ring 21, causing the piston rods of the multiple buffer cylinders 3 to be compressed and absorbing part of the energy. Subsequently, the rebound force of the substitute hammer 2 is transmitted to the anti-vibration washer 4 through the substitute hammer body 22, and the anti-vibration washer 4 is transmitted to the multiple buffer rings 5 of the second-stage buffer structure. Since the buffer ring 5 is made of rubber and has a large equivalent elastic coefficient, the buffering compression amount is small, which can greatly reduce the rebound energy of the substitute hammer and avoid the hammer shell 61 from being subjected to a large counter-vibration, thereby increasing the service life of the equipment. The second-stage buffer structure also limits the compression amount of the buffer cylinder 3, indirectly protecting the buffer cylinder 3. The buffer cylinder 3 can be directly disassembled and replaced from the outside of the pile cap 1.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the present invention and should be defined by the claims.
