Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pile driver technology, specifically to a pile driver with data monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] Digital development is a technological direction that various industries are currently striving to break through. By combining it with the integration of multiple industries such as communication and control, the ultimate goal of high quality and intelligence can be achieved.
[0003] In the field of piling machines, the digitalization of the piling machine's operation is a goal that professionals in this field have always pursued.
[0004] In the structure of the installed machine, the drill bit is usually purchased externally. Currently, there are integrated sensing sensors that cover multiple aspects such as rotational speed, torque, drilling depth, and geological resistance, which have helped the intelligent development of drilling rigs.
[0005] However, the peripheral equipment such as pile frames, bases, and power systems that come with the installed products are often manufactured and assembled by various application manufacturers according to different needs, and currently they are not equipped with corresponding digital sensing sensors.
[0006] During construction operations, relying solely on data feedback from the drill bit and work experience is sufficient to assess the condition of external equipment and make adjustments. However, this experience-dependent work model is not a sustainable solution. Upgrading the external supporting facilities digitally, integrating them with the drill bit's sensor data, and reducing the judgment burden on operators is a pressing technical issue that needs to be addressed.
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a data-monitored piling machine that provides comprehensive monitoring of the overall inclination, pressure, and coordinates of the drilling rig.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a pile driver with data monitoring, including a pile driver support, a pile driver base, a drill bit, a power system, an inclination sensor, a pressure sensor, an encoder, a positioning sensor, and a controller;
[0010] The tilt sensor is installed on the pile driver support and connected to the controller, and is used to sense the tilt angle of the pile driver support and send it to the controller;
[0011] The pressure sensor is installed on the force-bearing surface of the drill bit and connected to the controller, and is used to sense the pressure state of the drill bit and send it to the controller;
[0012] The encoder is installed in the transmission structure of the power system and connected to the controller, and is used to sense the rotational speed of the power system and send it to the controller.
[0013] The positioning sensor is installed in the mounting base and connected to the controller to sense the coordinates of the piling machine base.
[0014] Based on the above, the tilt sensor is installed in the upper region of the pile driver support.
[0015] Based on the above, the pressure sensor is a stress-strain sensor.
[0016] Based on the above, the stress-strain sensor is a strain gauge, which is installed inside the stress-bearing surface of the drill bit to detect the deformation state of the stress-bearing surface of the drill bit and thus reflect the pressure state.
[0017] Based on the above, the tilt sensor and pressure sensor work together to provide a basis for the controller to trigger an alarm signal when both the tilt angle value and the pressure condition are abnormal.
[0018] Based on the above, the encoder is installed in the coupling, output shaft, or turntable of the power system. The encoder works in conjunction with the pressure sensor. When the speed data collected by the encoder does not match the pressure state of the drill bit, it serves as the basis for the controller to trigger an alarm signal.
[0019] Based on the above, the positioning sensor is a GPS positioning sensor.
[0020] Based on the above, the controller is installed on the pile driver base and is equipped with a memory and an audible and visual alarm.
[0021] This utility model has substantial features and advancements compared to existing technologies. Specifically, it further supplements the pile driver support, pile driver base, power system, and drill bit with necessary parameter acquisition sensors such as tilt sensors, pressure sensors, encoders, and positioning sensors. This enables timely monitoring of data such as tilt angle changes, drill bit pressure changes, power system speed changes, and pile driver coordinate positions during the pile driver construction process. This greatly enriches the amount of data, completely records the data of the entire construction process, and makes the status of the construction operation clearer, ensures greater safety, and reduces reliance on work experience.
[0022] Furthermore, by combining the monitoring of changes in tilt angle and drill bit pressure, the impact of pile driver tilt during operation can be determined and an alarm can be issued in a timely manner to prevent the pile from being scrapped.
[0023] Furthermore, by combining the monitoring of the power system's rotational speed and the changes in drill bit pressure, it is possible to determine whether a fault has occurred in the power system, causing power transmission to be obstructed and triggering an alarm to prevent the pile driver's power system from collapsing.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pile driver with data monitoring in this utility model.
[0025] Figure 2 This is the control logic diagram of the pile driver with data monitoring in this utility model.
[0026] In the diagram: 1. Pile driver support; 2. Pile driver base; 3. Power system; 4. Tilt sensor; 5. Encoder; 6. Positioning sensor; 7. Controller. Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pile driver with data monitoring includes a pile driver support 1, a pile driver base 2, a drill bit (not shown), a power system 3, an inclination sensor 4, a pressure sensor (not shown), an encoder 5, a positioning sensor 6, and a controller 7.
[0029] The tilt sensor 4 is installed on the pile driver support 1 and connected to the controller 7. It is used to sense the tilt angle of the pile driver support 1 and send it to the controller 7 to determine the tilt of the pile frame. In this embodiment, it is installed on the upper part of the pile driver support 1 to improve the sensing performance.
[0030] The pressure sensor is installed on the stress-bearing surface of the drill bit and connected to the controller. It is used to sense the pressure state of the drill bit and send it to the controller. In this embodiment, the pressure sensor is a stress-strain sensor, specifically a strain gauge. The strain gauge is installed on the inner side of the stress-bearing surface of the drill bit and is used to reflect the pressure state by sensing the deformation state of the stress-bearing surface of the drill bit.
[0031] When in use, the tilt sensor 4 and the pressure sensor can be used together. When both the tilt angle value and the pressure condition are abnormal, they serve as the basis for the controller to trigger an alarm signal.
[0032] To elaborate, a change in the tilt angle means that the pile driver support 1 has tilted, which may be caused by geological subsidence or other reasons. After tilting, the drill rod will inevitably tilt as well, which will lead to a change in the direction of force on the drill bit and a change in the pressure state of the drill bit. Once both of the data are abnormal, it can be determined that an abnormal situation has occurred, and the controller will issue an alarm signal to notify the staff to stop the machine and make adjustments in time.
[0033] In addition, if only the tilt sensor 4 changes while the drill bit pressure remains unchanged, the tilt angle change may not have reached the limit of the change range of the drill bit and drill rod. In this case, it is acceptable to continue construction by simply observing without taking any action. Similarly, if the tilt sensor 4 does not change while the drill bit pressure changes, it indicates that the drill bit may have encountered an obstacle. In this case, it is advisable to combine the changes with other sensors installed on the drill bit to make a comprehensive judgment and provide a solution.
[0034] The encoder 5 is installed in the transmission structure of the power system 3 and connected to the controller 7. It is used to sense the rotational speed of the power system 3 and send it to the controller 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, the encoder 5 is installed in the coupling, output shaft or turntable of the power system 3. The encoder 5 is linked with the pressure sensor. When the rotational speed data collected by the encoder 5 does not match the pressure state of the drill bit, it serves as the basis for the controller to trigger an alarm signal.
[0035] To elaborate, encoder 5 is used to monitor whether the power system is operating normally, while the pressure sensor is used to monitor whether the drill bit is operating normally. When the speed of the power system is constant, but the pressure at the drill bit drops, there may be a problem of power disconnection. It is necessary to check the safety status of the power system in time and take corresponding countermeasures.
[0036] The positioning sensor 6 is installed in the mounting base 2 and connected to the controller 7 to sense the coordinates of the piling machine base. In this embodiment, the positioning sensor 6 is a GPS positioning sensor.
[0037] The controller 7 is installed on the pile driver base 2 and is equipped with a memory and an audible and visual alarm. It is used to store various collected data and to record the data throughout the entire construction process, leaving work traces and generating electronic construction reports to ensure compliance with engineering standards. It provides data support for subsequent supervision, review, auditing, and accountability processes. The audible and visual alarm is used to issue an alarm to prompt staff to take timely action.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
