The performance of such piling tools can't meet the requirements of efficient piling, because the structural design of the drill assembly of the pile driver fails to comprehensively consider geological factors such as sand soil, clay soil, silty soil and rock interlayer. The three processes of the cuttings removal circulation are successively carried out such as stopping drilling, lifting the drill pipe and dumping cuttings, while in the case of deep pile wells, the cuttings removal circulation mode of alternately drilling and cuttings removal takes up too much time, and the pouring process needs to improve the piling equipment and replace other special pouring tools after the piling is completed, so as to accomplish continuous pouring of concrete. It causes intermittent phenomenon among drilling construction, cuttings discharge and circulation pouring operation in the hard layer. It needs to spend more time, finances, material and manpower because of the existence of intermittent drilling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, the integrated piling tool with continuous drilling and circulation pouring includes a power connector 2, a circulation device 3, a drill assembly, a cleaning mechanism and a pouring mechanism.

The power connector 2 includes a polygonal sleeve 21, a semicircular fixing hole 22, a polygonal connection 23, and a semicircular groove 24. The polygonal sleeve 21 is matched with a clearance of the power input shaft 1. The semicircular fixing hole 22 is arranged symmetrically around the polygonal sleeve 21. The semicircular fixing hole 22 and the semicircular fixing groove 11 of the power input shaft 1 form the circular hole. The power connector 2 and the power input shaft 1 are fixed axially through the fixing pin A 71. The polygon connecting 23 is connected with the connecting sleeve A 31, The circulating device 3 comprises a connecting sleeve A 31, a circulating drilling barrel 32, a spiral piece 33, a spiral reinforcing 34, a circulation connecting 35, a semicircle connecting groove A 36, and a fixing orifice 37. Both ends of the circulating device 3 are connected with the power connector 2 and a bit connecting sleeve B 42, respectively. When the single circulation device 3 can't meet the requirement about pile driving depth, multiple circulation devices 3 can be connected sequentially from end to end to build a longer circulation device to meet the requirement of pile driving.

The drill assembly comprises a drill body 41; a bit connecting sleeve B 42, transmission parts 43, a drill tool holder 44, drilling teeth 45, a fixing piece A 46, and a semicircle connecting groove B 47. The bit tool holder 44 is provided with drilling teeth 45, and the drilling teeth 45 are coaxially connected with a bit tool holder 44 which can be disassembled.

The cleaning mechanism comprises a cleaning blade 51, a linkage 52, control parts 53 and a fixing piece 54. The cleaning blade 51 is hinged with the fixing piece B 54 and the linkage 52. One end of the control parts 53 is connected to the outside, and the other end is connected to the linkage 52 which is movably mounted on the drill body 41. The hinged point of the drill body 41 and the linkage 52 is equivalent to a fulcrum. The extended or contracted control parts 53 are controlled by the external control so that the two ends of the linkage 52 move in opposite directions to push the cleaning blade 51, resulting in the cleaning blade 51 is extended, and there is an angle β between 0 and 90° formed between the cleaning blade 51 and the plane of the drill tool holder 44. At this time, the cleaning blade 51 is working according to the rotation direction during drilling to reduce the cuttings remaining at the bottom of the well.

The pouring mechanism includes a pouring channel 61, a pin 62, and a valve 63. The pouring channel 61 includes the inner channel A 611 of the power connector 2, the inner channel B 612 of the drill barrel 32, and the inner channel C 613 of the drill body 41. The concrete passes through the pouring channel 61 to open the valve 63 and flows to the bottom of the well to accomplish the concrete pouring. If pile driving is deep under complex geological conditions, the design of single circulation device 3 can't meet the requirement about the depth of the pile driving. At this point, multiple circulation devices 3 can be in serial connection to each other. The pouring channel 61 can include multiple inner channels B 612 in series, then connected to the inner channel A 611 and the inner channel C 613 in series.

As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the upper end of the circulation device 3 is provided with a connecting sleeve A 31 that is suitable for the shape and size of the polygonal connection 23 of the power connector 2, and the lower end of the circulation device 3 is provided with the circulation connection 35 that is suitable for the shape and size of the connecting sleeve B 42. The circulation connection 35 is set on the semicircle groove 24. Namely, the ends of power connector 2 connect to the polygonal connection 23 and the connecting sleeve A 31, respectively, a circular fixing hole is formed between the semicircle groove 24 and the fixing orifice 37, and the circulation device 3 connects with the power connector 2 through the fixing pin B 72 to implement the circumferential and axial fixation.

The inside of the circular drill barrel 32 is uniformly arranged with the spiral reinforcement 34, which has the same pitch as the spiral piece 33. It is not limited to use a single spiral reinforcement 34 for coaxial connection with the inside or outside of the circular drill barrel 32. In this setting mode, the drilling process is light in weight and high in structural strength, which can meet the requirement that the drilling throughput per unit time is greater than the circulating cuttings discharge amount. The cuttings are continuously transported to the ground through the spiral piece 33 to achieve the purpose of efficient cuttings discharge.

As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the drill assembly includes a drill body 41, a connecting sleeve B 42, transmission parts 43, a drill tool holder 44, drilling teeth 45, a fixing piece 46 and a semicircle connecting groove B 47. The detachable drilling teeth 45 are arranged on the drill tool holder 44.

The drill assembly is provided with a connecting sleeve B 42 that is suitable for the shape and size of the circulation connection 35 and the polygonal connection 23 to achieve the connection between the circulation device 3 and the drill assembly. It can take the same measures to connect the power connector 2 and the connecting sleeve B 42 to implement the transmission of bit-on-bit pressure and torque.

As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment, an axial convex platform 631, a radial convex platform A 632 and a radial convex platform B 633 are on or included in the valve 63. There are drilling teeth 45 on the side near the bottom of the valve 63. The shape and size of the axial convex platform 631 is compatible with the shape and size of grooves 444 in the drill tool holder 44, so that the drill tool holder 44 can transfer the axial force to the valve 63. On the other hand, the valve 63 relies on the radial convex platform A 632 and the radial convex platform B 633 to withstand circumferential forces from the drill tool holder 44. Thus, the valve 63 closes the pouring channel 61 during drilling, while the valve 63 can withstand loads from the drill tool holder 44.

As shown in FIG. 6, in another embodiment, the spiral piece 33 includes a spiral A 331, a spiral B 332 and a spiral C 333, which are independent, symmetrically arranged and have the same pitch. In this embodiment, the spiral A 331 or the spiral B 332 or the spiral piece C 333 can be set as a whole, but the spiral piece 33 of equal section size can be set as multiple pieces. In this setting mode, the cost of the spiral piece 33 increases relatively, but the structural strength of the circulating device 3 increases, and the ability of circulating cuttings discharge increases appropriately.

Both of the above two embodiments can achieve the purpose of efficient cuttings discharge invention, and technicians in this field can choose according to the actual situation.

In order to facilitate the continuous and rapid removal of cuttings during drilling, the preferred scheme is as follows: when the spiral piece 33 is effectively connected with the transmission parts 43, the number and the pitch of the spiral piece 33 and the transmission parts 43 are the same. For example, when the circulation connection 35 is connected with the connecting sleeve B 42, smooth and continuous connection is made between the spiral piece 33 and the transmission parts 43 to achieve continuous and rapid cuttings removal.

In the above implementation mode, the power connector 2, the circulation device 3, the drill assembly, the cleaning mechanism and the pouring mechanism are used to achieve the purpose of the higher efficiency, more reliable circulation and simple operation.

In this implementation mode, torque and bit pressure are transmitted through the power connector 2 and the circulation device 3 to drive the drill assembly to screw forward and achieve synchronous cuttings removal through the circulation device 3. Drilling to the geological layer meeting the requirements, the external control pushes the cleaning blade 51 to extend through the linkage 52 to implement the cuttings removal at the bottom of the well.

After the completion of the bottom hole cleaning operation, there is no need to replace the pouring equipment to achieve efficient continuous pouring operation. The rock is broken by crushing or cutting for the drilling teeth 45 under the axial pressure and circumferential force when drilling is normally. The cuttings are discharged from the inside out; and cuttings discharged to the periphery can be brought out from the bottom of the well by means of the mutual extrusion between cuttings, which are successively brought out from the bottom by means of the transmission parts 43 and the spiral piece 33. When drilling into the geological layer meeting the requirements, the external control pushes the cleaning blade 51 to extend by stretching the control parts 53, and there is no need to generate large axial pressure at this time. Similarly, the cuttings are removed by the mutual extrusion effect between cuttings.

After the completion of cuttings removal at the bottom of the well, it needs to stop drilling and lift properly drill assembly to the a certain height from the bottom of the well; and then the concrete flows through the pouring channel 61, which pushes the valve 63 with its own energy, and finally flows to the bottom of the well. The invention achieves the efficient drilling, synchronous cuttings discharge and continuous concrete pouring.

The integrated piling tool provided by the invention can be used in sites with complex geological conditions. In one embodiment, the integrated piling tool with continuous drilling and circulation pouring is a building piling driver which can achieve high-efficiency drilling, synchronous cuttings discharge and continuous pouring, and the drilling efficiency in piling is improved through the structural design of the drill assembly. The circulator structure is designed so that the drilling process is synchronized with the cuttings discharge. After the piling is completed, the existing piling tools are used to pour the concrete efficiently. This setting method is simple in structure and completely depends on mechanical structures, without the need for electrical structures that are prone to failure in the complex and changeable underground environment. It can achieve higher efficiency, more reliable circulation and simple operation.

The above content is merely an example to describe the structure of the present invention. Technical personnel in the technical field can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as such modifications or additions do not deviate from the structure of the invention or go beyond the present invention, they shall all fall into the protection scope of the present invention defined by the claims of the invention.
