Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction, specifically a soil sampling device for drilling around piles in soft soil strata. Background Technology

[0002] Soft soil strata have poor bearing capacity, and friction piles are typically used for pile foundations, resulting in extremely deep foundations. When these piles need to be removed, the high friction between the pile and the soil can easily cause pile breakage if the removal force is too great, making direct removal difficult. It is necessary to relieve the stress between the pile and the soil. Simultaneously, the horizontal resistance of the soil around the piles in soft soil strata is low, making them prone to displacement and tilting. When pile misalignment needs correction, the large soil reaction force means that directly pushing or pulling at the pile top can easily cause excessive bending moment and pile breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce or eliminate the soil reaction force.

[0003] In summary, both of the above-mentioned working conditions require drilling around the pile foundation to extract soil. However, traditional pile foundation drilling methods can only drill solid circular holes, or cannot directly retain the pile foundation within the hole during drilling to form a ring-like structure. They can only indirectly form a ring by overlapping holes, but this overlapping ring-shaped hole around the pile is only suitable for vertical pile extraction, and its efficiency is extremely low, with significant disturbance and a high risk of hole collapse. When drilling around offset pile foundations, using the aforementioned overlapping hole-to-hole ring drilling method, due to the pile's inclination, large areas of soil will always adhere to the pile perimeter, which still requires manual cleaning, affecting drilling efficiency. Therefore, to address the problems of low efficiency, poor results, inability to form a single hole, and limited application scope due to the pile foundation location of traditional pile perimeter drilling methods, there is an urgent need to invent a soil extraction device suitable for drilling around vertical and offset pile foundations in soft soil strata. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a soil sampling device for drilling around piles in soft soil strata. This addresses the issue that existing pile foundation drilling methods can only drill solid circular holes, or cannot directly retain the pile foundation within the hole during drilling to form a ring-like structure, but can only indirectly form a ring by overlapping holes. When drilling around offset pile foundations, the aforementioned method of overlapping holes to form a ring-shaped hole results in large areas of soil that cannot be cleared by drilling adhering to the pile periphery due to the pile's inclination, requiring manual cleaning and affecting drilling efficiency.

[0005] A soil sampling device for drilling around piles in soft soil strata includes:

[0006] Thick-walled steel pipe with a ring of drill teeth welded to its bottom;

[0007] A spiral scraper is welded to the outer wall of the thick-walled steel pipe, and its edges are wavy.

[0008] The flushing pipe is spirally welded to the inner wall of the thick-walled steel pipe and is connected to a high-pressure water tank via a water pump. The bottom of the flushing pipe is provided with a fan-shaped high-pressure water nozzle facing inward and downward.

[0009] A grout pipe is welded to the outer wall of the thick-walled steel pipe and connected to a high-pressure grouting pump. The bottom of the grout pipe is provided with a grout nozzle for spraying drag-reducing grout onto the scraper.

[0010] An auxiliary suspended flushing pipe and a mud pumping pipe are installed inside the thick-walled steel pipe and are used to suspend them on both sides of the pile foundation. The bottom of the auxiliary suspended flushing pipe is higher than the bottom of the flushing pipe. The mud pumping pipe is connected to the mud tank through a mud pump.

[0011] The sections of the thick-walled steel pipe are connected by flanges. The top of the last section of the thick-walled steel pipe is sealed and welded with a drilling rig interface. The drilling rig interface is connected to the drill rod through a pin hole and is driven to rotate by the power head of the drilling rig.

[0012] Preferably, the edge of the scraper is wavy, forming wavy teeth.

[0013] Preferably, the length of each section of the thick-walled steel pipe is 3.5m to 5m, and the annular gap width between the spiral scraper and the pile foundation is not less than 100mm.

[0014] Preferably, the high-pressure water nozzle is 0.3m to 0.5m away from the bottom of the drill bit, and the injection pressure of the mud nozzle is 1.5MPa to 3.0MPa.

[0015] Preferably, a mud pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the flushing pipe at a distance of 5 times the pipe diameter from the high-pressure water nozzle.

[0016] Preferably, both the top inlet of the flushing pipe and the bottom of the sludge suction pipe are equipped with filter screens, the mesh size of which is 18 to 24.

[0017] Preferably, the periphery of the drilling rig interface is reinforced by welding multiple triangular stiffening ribs, which are arranged in a cross shape.

[0018] Preferably, the drag-reducing mud is prepared from 6% bentonite, 0.2% CMC and 1% KCl.

[0019] Preferably, valve I is installed on the body of the mud pumping pipe, valve II is installed at the connection point between the mud pipe and the high-pressure grouting pump, and valve III is installed at the inlet of the flushing pipe connected to the water pump.

[0021] 1. This utility model achieves one-time forming of pile perimeter drilling through a soil sampling device for soft soil strata. The drilling effect is good and the efficiency is high. It is also applicable to a variety of working conditions, solving the problem that the application range of traditional pile perimeter drilling methods is limited by the location of the pile foundation.

[0022] 2. This utility model uses a spiral scraper to cut the soil and maintain drilling. The mud nozzles on the side of the scraper reduce drilling resistance and form mud wall protection, ensuring drilling speed and stability.

[0023] 3. This utility model achieves efficient and stable drilling around the pile by welding multiple flushing pipes and auxiliary suspended flushing pipes inside a thick-walled steel pipe. The flushing pipes are spiral-shaped to reduce drilling resistance.
