Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pile foundation borehole protection technology, and in particular to a protective device for impact-drilled pile foundations. Background Technology
[0002] Pile foundation borehole protection devices are critical safety facilities in the construction of pile foundations for bridges, buildings, and other structures. They are primarily used to cover the borehole opening to prevent personnel, equipment, or debris from accidentally falling into the hole. In impact drilling, the drill bit is frequently raised and lowered via a wire rope, resulting in a high risk of borehole exposure. Therefore, the protection device must be able to withstand unexpected loads and be easy to install; it is a core measure to ensure the safety of pile foundation construction.
[0003] With the improvement of construction safety standards, protective devices are gradually developing towards modularity, detachability, and reusability. For example, CN212835357U discloses a protective device for pile foundation casings, which uses positioning steel bars welded to the outer wall of the casing, an outer ring-shaped protective net cover, and an arched protective net sheet installed on top to form double-layer protection. Its advantage lies in its detachability and reusability. CN219548576U discloses a construction protective device for pile foundation boreholes, which uses a quadrilateral frame with a pointed base inserted into the ground, with protective uprights and crossbars around the perimeter, and a liftable fall arrestor on top, integrating auxiliary functions such as warning lights and protective doors. CN221856279U discloses an opening and closing protective device for pile foundation boreholes, which uses a hinge device to hinge the cover plate to the steel casing, and opens and closes the borehole by flipping the cover plate. The cover plate is provided with a pouring port so that construction personnel can carry out pouring operations without opening the borehole cover plate. However, existing technologies mostly focus on static protection and do not fully consider the safety hazards caused by the large swing of the wire rope during dynamic construction of impact drilling rigs. For example, the wire rope is prone to deviating from the design trajectory, colliding with the borehole or getting tangled in the surrounding equipment, leading to accidents such as head deflection, borehole wall collapse or even wire rope breakage.
[0004] Therefore, a new type of protective device is urgently needed to address the swinging condition of the wire rope in impact pile drilling machines. This device is equipped with a guiding mechanism to actively constrain the swing range of the wire rope, preventing it from colliding with the borehole opening or deviating from the working axis; it retains the traditional borehole opening anti-fall function and does not affect the raising and lowering of the drill bit. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a protective device for impact-drilled pile foundations, thereby solving the problem of wire rope swaying during the construction of existing impact-drilled pile machines.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an impact-drilled pile foundation protection device, including a mesh and a bidirectional conical connector;
[0007] The mesh includes an upper mesh and a lower mesh, which are arranged in parallel and are formed by overlapping longitudinal and transverse steel bars to form a grid. The grid intersections are fixedly connected by resistance spot welding. The upper and lower center rings of the upper and lower mesh are respectively fully welded to their geometric centers.
[0008] The bidirectional conical connector is formed by welding the top and bottom rings to the middle ring with oblique stiffening ribs, creating a symmetrical conical flared shape. The top and bottom rings are fixedly connected to the upper and lower center rings by circumferential fillet welds.
[0009] The upper and lower mesh panels are fixedly connected by vertical supports.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the central ring is 200 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the spacing between the upper mesh panels is smaller than the spacing between the lower mesh panels.
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the bidirectional conical connector is equal to the vertical net distance between the upper central ring and the lower central ring.
[0013] Furthermore, the vertical support includes peripheral vertical ribs and internal vertical ribs. The peripheral vertical ribs are continuously distributed along the periphery of the upper and lower mesh panels, and their upper and lower ends are fully welded to the mesh panel nodes, respectively. The internal vertical ribs are evenly distributed in a matrix in the non-peripheral area, and their two ends are spot welded to the mesh panel nodes for fixation.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are: 1. The conical connector effectively constrains the swing of the wire rope and limits its horizontal displacement through the guide channel formed by its top, bottom and middle rings; 2. The wire rope is restricted to move in a nearly vertical state, driving the impact hammer to fall precisely along the design axis with a concentrated landing point, ensuring the verticality of the pile hole.

[0023] The bidirectional conical connector 2 is fixed to the middle ring 22 by welding the top ring 21 and the bottom ring 23 to the middle ring 22 through the oblique stiffening ribs 24, forming a symmetrical conical flared shape; the top ring 21 and the bottom ring 23 are fixedly connected to the upper center ring 101 and the lower center ring 102 by annular fillet welds; the height of the bidirectional conical connector 2 is equal to the vertical net distance between the upper mesh 11 and the lower mesh 12.
[0024] The upper mesh 11 and the lower mesh 12 are fixedly connected by a vertical support 3. The vertical support 3 includes peripheral vertical ribs 31 and internal vertical ribs 32. The peripheral vertical ribs 31 are continuously distributed around the periphery of the upper mesh 11 and the lower mesh 12, and their upper and lower ends are fully welded to the nodes of the mesh 1, respectively.

At this time, the protective device plays the role of protection and positioning guidance.
