Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pile driving profile, preferably for a free-field photovoltaic installation. [Background technology]

[0002] In a free-field solar power installation, solar panels are attached to a foundation structure, which often comprises piling profiles that are driven into the ground. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Until now, it was only possible to fasten the pile driving profiles, if not all of them, in a mirror image, which meant that the pile driving profiles had to be removed, rotated and assembled by hand, resulting in a mechanically demanding and time-consuming process.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a pile driving profile and a method which allows automated assembly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This object is achieved by the subject matter and methods of the independent claims.

[0006] According to the invention, the piling section may preferably be used and / or constitute part of the foundation structure of a free-field photovoltaic installation.

[0007] For example, piling profiles may be driven into the ground to ensure a secure foundation.

[0008] The piling profile includes a body and two limbs extending from the body.

[0009] Preferably, the body and / or the rim are configured flat and / or plate-like.

[0010] For example, the body and / or the rim may include or consist of a metallic material.

[0011] The length of the piling profile, preferably the length of the body and / or the rim, may be in the range of 2.5m to 4.5m.

[0012] Preferably, the rims extend on the same side relative to the body.

[0013] For example, the rim may be configured to be axisymmetric.

[0014] For example, the rims may be arranged in a U-shape or a V-shape on the body.

[0015] Preferably, the body and the rim are integrally constructed, which can reduce manufacturing costs.

[0016] Preferably the rim ends facing towards or away from the body are bent inwards respectively to form load stops for stacking with additional piling profiles.

[0017] Preferably, the additional piling profiles have an identical construction.

[0018] For example, the rim ends may be rounded or chamfered ends.

[0019] The loading stops allow several driving sections to be stacked one on top of the other, for example in a magazine.

[0020] By means of the inwardly bent rim ends, the loading stops ensure, for example, that the bodies of different pile driving profiles are spaced apart from one another.

[0021] This allows the driving sections to be removed automatically one after the other, for example by means of a gripper, and therefore allows the driving sections to be assembled automatically.

[0022] Further embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

[0023] According to one embodiment, the rims each comprise a recess as a mating stop for a loading stop of an additional pile driving section.

[0024] For example, the depressions can be rounded depressions or angular depressions.

[0025] Preferably, the recess may extend over the entire length of the driving profile.

[0026] In a sense, the recess defines a stop position for the load stop.

[0027] Furthermore, the recesses provide a certain base so that the stacked piling profiles do not unintentionally detach from one another when in the transport position.

[0028] According to another embodiment, the rim is angled outwardly relative to the body.

[0029] The outwardly angled rims allow the piling profiles to be stacked on top of each other.

[0030] The piling profile may be at least partially gripped from the piling profile below.

[0031] According to another embodiment, the rims, preferably both rims, form an angle of between 90° and 140° with the body.

[0032] Preferably, the angle may be in the range of 100° to 130°, for example 115°.

[0033] For example, the angle may be greater than 90°.

[0034] According to another embodiment, the body comprises at least one inwardly oriented bead.

[0035] For example, the beads can be rounded beads or angular beads.

[0036] Preferably the bead may extend over the entire length of the pile driving profile.

[0037] Preferably, two or more beads are provided (eg, oriented in parallel).

[0038] The beads improve the stability of the pile profile so that it does not deform while being driven into the ground.

[0039] For example, the body may include a recess for mounting the binder. Preferably, the recess is provided in the center of the body.

[0040] If two beads are provided, the recess may be located between the beads.

[0041] By orienting the beads inward, they do not interfere with the attachment of the binder.

[0042] Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising at least two pile driving profiles according to the invention.

[0043] The piling profiles are stackable or configured to be stacked when in the transport position.

[0044] Preferably, the pile driving profiles are stackable or stacked such that the bodies of two pile driving profiles stacked one above the other are spaced apart from each other, thereby allowing automatic removal.

[0045] Preferably, the pile driving profiles are oriented similarly, for example the body of the pile driving profile may be oriented downwards.

[0046] A number of pile driving profiles stacked one on top of the other may each form a magazine.

[0047] Finally, the invention preferably relates to a method for the automated assembly of the pile driving profile according to the invention.

[0048] In the horizontal transport position, at least one first piling profile is stacked on top of a second piling profile. For example, the piling profiles may be stacked or are stacked in a magazine.

[0049] For example, the piling profile or magazine may be located on a vehicle (eg, a wheel loader).

[0050] For example, different sized piling profiles or magazines may be provided.

[0051] Preferably, all the pile driving profiles are oriented in the same way, for example the body of the pile driving profile may be oriented downwards.

[0052] The first driving profile is preferably placed in a vertical driving position by a gripper.

[0053] For example, the gripper can remove the top driving profile from a magazine and rotate it through 90 degrees.

[0054] According to one embodiment, the first pile driving profile is driven into the ground using a driving head.

[0055] In this case, the pile driving profile is preferably held by a gripper.

[0056] According to another embodiment, the second driving profile is placed in a vertical driving position, preferably by a gripper.

[0057] The piling profiles can be removed and assembled in sequence.

[0058] According to another embodiment, the second pile driving profile is driven into the ground using a driving head.

[0059] The pile driving profiles can be driven into the ground in turn.

[0060] Thus the same process may be carried out for the third, fourth, fifth pile driving section and so on.

[0061] Thus, the method of the invention allows for the automated assembly of pile driving profiles.

[0062] Preferably, all of the device embodiments and components described herein are configured to be assembled using the methods described herein. Moreover, all of the device embodiments described herein and all of the method embodiments described herein can be preferably combined with each other without being bound to a particular configuration in the context in which they are referred to.

[0063] The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the drawings in which: [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a side view of one embodiment of a plurality of stacked piling profiles according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0065] First, it should be noted that the illustrated embodiments are merely exemplary. Thus, the individual features may be implemented not only in the illustrated combinations, but also by themselves or in other technically feasible combinations. For example, features of one embodiment may be combined in any combination with features of another embodiment. Preferably, the number and / or location of beads and / or recesses may vary. Furthermore, more or fewer pile profiles may be provided.

[0066] Where the drawings contain reference signs that are not described in the directly related text of this specification, reference is made to the corresponding preceding and following descriptions in the drawing description, and therefore the same reference signs are used for the same or similar components in the drawings and they will not be described again.

[0067] Figure 1 shows a piling profile 10' having a body 12. The body 12 is provided with a central recess 14 in which, for example, a binder (not shown) can be attached.

[0068] Furthermore, the body 12 comprises two beads 15 oriented parallel to each other. The beads 15 improve the stability of the pile driving profile 10'.

[0069] Additionally, the piling profile 10 ′ includes a rim 16 extending from the body 12 .

[0070] The rim ends 18 are each bent inwardly to form load stops for stacking with additional piling sections.

[0071] To further facilitate stacking, the rims 16 may each include a recess 20. The recesses 20, like the beads 15, may extend the entire length of the piling profile 10'.

[0072] FIG. 2 shows a plurality of stacked piling shapes 10, 10', 10'', 10''' of different sizes. A first piling shape 10 is stacked on top of a second piling shape 10', respectively. The second piling shape 10' is then stacked on top of a third piling shape 10'', which is then stacked on top of a fourth piling shape 10''', and so on.

[0073] The rim end 18 of the fourth driving section 10''' engages with the recess 20 of the third driving section 10''. In turn, the rim end 18 of the third driving section 10'' engages with the recess 20 of the second driving section 10', which in turn engages with the recess 20 of the first driving section 10.

[0074] The rim 16 forms an obtuse angle W with the body 12. Thus, the piling profiles 10, 10', 10'', 10''' may be at least partially stacked on top of one another.

[0075] The pile driving profiles 10, 10', 10'', 10''' arranged one above the other each rest on the inwardly bent rim ends 18. As a result, the bodies 12 and rims 16 of the pile driving profiles 10, 10', 10'', 10''' are spaced apart from one another so that they can be automatically gripped (e.g. using a gripper).
