Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a demolition machine used when demolishing a building or the like. [Background technology]
[0002] When demolishing buildings made of reinforced concrete or the like, demolition machines such as giant breakers with chisels attached to the ends of their arms are sometimes used. When demolition work is performed using such demolition machines, a large amount of noise is generated during the work. Therefore, demolition machines with a configuration that can reduce noise have been studied (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The giant breaker described in Patent Document 1 is equipped with a supply unit that supplies foam to reduce noise above the chisel attached to the end of the arm. When demolition is performed using the chisel, the foam covers the chisel to reduce noise. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a dismantling machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. FIG. As shown in Figure 1, a giant breaker (impact-type crushing device) 10 serving as a demolition machine in this embodiment includes a base machine 11 and a breaker attachment 20. Specifically, the base machine 11 includes a lower traveling body including crawlers 12, and an upper rotating body including an operation room 13 and a boom 14. An arm 15 that rotates in a vertical plane around the tip of the boom 14 is attached to the tip of the boom 14. The breaker attachment 20 is attached to the tip of the arm 15. The operation room 13 is located behind the breaker attachment 20.
[0009] As shown in Figure 2, the breaker attachment 20 has a hydraulic drive unit 21 located on the front side, a chisel 25, and a bracket that holds these. The chisel 25 is a rod-shaped member with a pointed tip that is roughly conical. The hydraulic drive unit 21 has a rectangular cylindrical shape and is equipped with a drive mechanism that hydraulically moves the chisel 25 back and forth in the extension direction (axial direction). The tip of the chisel 25 protrudes from the hydraulic drive unit 21.
[0010] The hydraulic drive unit 21 is attached to the tip of the arm 15 via side brackets 22. The side brackets 22 are plate-like members having a roughly triangular shape, and securely support the hydraulic drive unit 21 by sandwiching opposing side surfaces of the hydraulic drive unit 21. The two side brackets 22 are connected via a connecting portion 23 formed in the approximate center. The connecting portion 23 connects the two side brackets 22 at their approximate centers, and maintains a distance between the two side brackets 22 that allows them to be attached to the tip of the arm 15.
[0011] 3, the breaker attachment 20 is provided with a bracket cover 24 so as to cover the rear sides of the two side brackets 22. Furthermore, the bracket cover 24 is provided with a hole 24h.
[0012] 2 and 3, a ring-shaped foam discharger 26 is provided on the underside of the hydraulic drive unit 21. The foam discharger 26 is provided so that the upper end of the chisel 25 fits loosely into a central through-hole.
[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, a foam path 26s is provided inside the foam discharger 26. This foam path 26s has multiple openings around the through-hole. Foam is discharged from these openings into the space between the foam discharger 26 and the chisel 25. The foam path 26s of the foam discharger 26 communicates with an L-shaped pipe 27 provided on the rear side. The L-shaped pipe 27 is covered with a metallic rectangular parallelepiped cover 28. The other end of the L-shaped pipe 27 is connected to a foam supply hose 37, which will be described later.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 4, a cylindrical foaming cylinder 30 and a mixing chamber forming member 31 integrated therewith are fixed to the connecting portion 23 that connects the side brackets 22 with a fixing member such as a cable tie along the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 23.
[0015] The foaming cylinder 30 and the mixing chamber forming member 31 are fixed to the connecting portion 23, and are therefore attached to the breaker attachment 20 so as to extend in a direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22 of the breaker attachment 20. Here, the surface of the side bracket 22 refers to the surface included in the side bracket of the plate-like member, and is not limited to a vertical surface but also includes a surface slightly inclined (for example, about 15 degrees) relative to the vertical surface. In addition, the direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22 means a direction within a range in which the conditions (speed and angle) of the flow of the solution to the mixing chamber forming member 31 and the flow of the foam from the foaming cylinder 30 do not change significantly, so that the generation and outflow of foam can be considered to be approximately the same.
[0016] As shown in FIG. 5, the mixing chamber forming member 31 arranged on the upstream side of the foaming cylinder 30 has a solution supply port 31a provided on the upstream side of the foaming cylinder 30 and the mixing chamber forming member 31 in the direction of the central axis C1.
[0017] A solution supply hose 33 is connected to the solution supply port 31a via an L-shaped pipe 32. The solution supply hose 33 is connected to a solution tank (not shown) in which the air bubble solution is stored. In this embodiment, the foaming solution is mainly made of an anionic surfactant, and a foaming agent capable of generating bubbles by foaming is used. Examples of the anionic surfactant include sulfonates such as α-olefin sulfonates, α-sulfonic fatty acid methyl ester salts, and alkanesulfonates; sulfates such as alkyl sulfates and alkyl ether sulfates; and carboxylates such as fatty acid salts and alkyl ether carboxylates.
[0018] Meanwhile, an air supply hose 34 is connected to the downstream side of the mixing chamber forming member 31, and compressed air is supplied by a compressor. A pressure relief valve 35 is provided near the connection part 31b of this air supply hose 34. The pressure relief valve 35 opens when the air pressure in the air supply hose 34 is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure, thereby releasing the pressure in the air supply hose 34 to the outside.
[0019] The foaming cylinder 30 is a member that generates bubbles inside, and is configured by filling a circular tube with steel wool, which is a porous material. The discharge port 30a of the foaming cylinder 30 is provided on the downstream side in the direction of the central axis C1 of the foaming cylinder 30. In this embodiment, the discharge port 30a of the foaming cylinder 30, the mixing chamber forming member 31, and the solution supply port 31a are arranged on a straight line with the central axis C1. A foam supply hose 37 is connected to the outlet 30a via an L-shaped pipe .
[0020] 2 to 4, the foam supply hose 37 is connected to the L-shaped pipe 27 inside the cover 28 through a hole 24h in the bracket cover 24. The outer periphery of the foam supply hose 37 exposed from the side bracket 22 is covered with a cushion member 38.
[0021] Next, the dismantling work of the giant breaker 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. The giant breaker 10 is placed near the object to be demolished, with the tip of the chisel 25 positioned above the object to be demolished, such as reinforced concrete.
[0022] In this case, as shown in Figure 6, if the object to be dismantled is far from the giant breaker 10, the boom 14 and the arm 15 are extended. Also, if the dismantling surface of the object to be dismantled 50 is inclined, the boom 14 and the arm 15 are operated so that the chisel 25 is positioned approximately perpendicular to the dismantling surface.
[0023] 7, when the object to be dismantled 50 is close to the giant breaker 10, the boom 14 and the arm 15 are operated to be retracted. Furthermore, when the dismantling surface of the object to be dismantled 50 is horizontal, the boom 14 and the arm 15 are operated so that the chisel 25 is positioned almost vertically on this horizontal surface.
[0024] Then, the solution is supplied from the foam solution tank to the foaming cylinder 30 via the solution supply hose 33 and the mixing chamber forming member 31. Furthermore, the compressor is operated to supply compressed air to the mixing chamber forming member 31 via the air supply hose 34. As a result, the solution mixed in the mixing chamber forming member 31 and the compressed air are supplied to the foaming cylinder 30, and foam is generated in the foaming cylinder 30. Then, the foam generated in the foaming cylinder 30 is supplied to the foam discharge part 26 via the foam supply hose 37 and the L-shaped pipe 27, and is supplied to the outer periphery of the chisel 25 via the foam path 26s of the foam discharge part 26.
[0025] In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the supplied foam flows down from the upper end of the chisel 25 along the outer circumferential surface of the chisel 25 to the lower end, forming a foam-like body fa1, which covers the chisel 25 from above. 9, when foam is continuously supplied, the entire outer periphery of the chisel 25 is covered with foam-like material fa1. In this embodiment, the foam is released so that the surface of the chisel 25 is covered with a foam thickness of approximately 40 mm from the surface of the chisel 25. When the hydraulic drive device is driven in this state, the chisel 25 supported by the hydraulic drive unit 21 moves back and forth in the vertical direction at a predetermined speed, thereby crushing the surface of the dismantling object 50.
[0026] (action) The foaming cylinder 30 is attached to the connecting portion 23 of the breaker attachment 20 along the longitudinal direction. The foaming cylinder 30, the discharge port 30a, the mixing chamber forming member 31, and the solution supply port 31a are provided on the central axis C1. This allows the foaming cylinder 30 to be positioned in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22.
[0027] Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, even if the breaker attachment 20 tilts, the foaming cylinder 30, the discharge port 30a, the mixing chamber forming member 31, and the solution supply port 31a can be kept at a predetermined angle relative to the ground.
[0028] According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In this embodiment, the foaming cylinder 30 is attached so as to extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22. As a result, the positional relationship and angle of the foaming cylinder 30 with respect to the ground do not change even when the boom 14, arm 15, and breaker attachment 20 of the giant breaker 10 are moved. Therefore, the conditions for generating foam in the foaming cylinder 30 and the conditions for foam outflow from the foaming cylinder 30 can be kept almost constant, and foam can be generated stably. Therefore, the foam-like material fa1 can be evenly wrapped around the outer periphery of the chisel 25, thereby stably reducing noise.
[0029] (2) In this embodiment, the foaming cylinder 30, the discharge port 30a, the mixing chamber forming member 31, and the solution supply port 31a are arranged on the central axis C1 of the foaming cylinder 30. As a result, regardless of the inclination of the boom 14, the arm 15, and the breaker attachment 20, the liquid can be supplied to the foaming cylinder 30 under almost the same conditions at all times, so that foam can be stably generated and supplied to the foam release part 26. (3) In this embodiment, the foam cylinder 30 is attached to the connecting portion 23 so as to be aligned with the connecting portion 23, so that the foam cylinder 30 can be efficiently positioned so that it extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22.
[0030] (4) In this embodiment, the foaming cylinder 30 and the mixing chamber forming member 31 are disposed between the two side brackets 22, and therefore can be protected by the side brackets 22. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the discharge port 30a of the foaming cylinder 30 and the foam supply hose 37 are connected via an L-shaped pipe 36. As a result, even if the foam supply hose 37 is pulled out at a right angle to the foaming cylinder 30 disposed in the narrow space between the two side brackets 22, the flow path through which the foam flows is not blocked, and foam can be smoothly supplied to the foam release section 26.
[0031] (5) In this embodiment, a pressure relief valve 35 is provided in the air supply hose 34 near the connection portion 31b provided upstream of the foaming cylinder 30, thereby preventing the air pressure in the air supply hose 34 from exceeding a predetermined pressure.
[0032] (6) In this embodiment, the L-shaped pipe 27 provided in the foam discharge section 26 is covered with a metal rectangular parallelepiped cover 28. In addition, the portion of the foam supply hose 37 exposed from the side bracket 22 is covered with a cushion member 38. This protects the foam supply portion exposed from the bracket of the breaker attachment 20, thereby reducing damage even if the demolition object 50 is scattered and hits something.
[0033] This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility. In the above embodiment, the foaming cylinder 30 is configured by filling a circular tube with steel wool. However, the configuration of the foaming cylinder 30 is not limited to this. For example, the foaming cylinder may be configured by filling a sponge or beads, or may be configured as a tube with a square cross section.
[0034] In the above embodiment, the foaming cylinder 30 is fixed to the connecting portion 23 of the breaker attachment 20. The position where the foaming cylinder 30 is attached in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side bracket 22 is not limited to the connecting portion 23. For example, the foaming cylinder 30 may be fixed to the boom 14 or the arm 15.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the breaker attachment 20 has a bracket including two side brackets 22, a connecting portion 23, and a bracket cover 24. The configuration and shape of the breaker attachment are not limited to this. For example, a breaker attachment without a bracket cover may be used.
[0036] In the above embodiment, the breaker attachment 20 is provided with a chisel 25 having a generally conical pointed tip. The chisel provided on the breaker attachment 20 is not limited to a chisel having a generally conical pointed tip, and may have any other shape as long as it is used for demolition, such as a chisel having a generally spatula shape.
[0037] In the above embodiment, a breaker that breaks materials by striking them was used as the crushing tool. However, demolition machines (construction machines) equipped with other crushing tools (dismantling tools) may also be configured to perform demolition work with the noise generating source covered with the foam fa1.
[0038] In the above embodiment, reinforced concrete was used as the object to be demolition 50. The object to be demolition 50 is not limited to reinforced concrete, and may be made of other materials, such as a steel frame structure.
[0039] Next, the technical ideas that can be understood from the above-described embodiment and other examples will be described below. (a) a supply port for the solution and a discharge port for discharging the foam are arranged at positions opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction of the foaming cylinder; 3. The demolition machine according to claim 1, wherein a supply port for air to be supplied to the solution is provided upstream of the foaming cylinder. [Explanation of symbols]
