Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of driving in an earth electrode comprising a conical coupling end, with the aid of a driving head having a recess, the driving head being placed with its recess on the coupling end and the earth electrode being driven into the ground by a striking tool acting on the driving head.
  • An earth electrode is usually composed of a plurality of elements of 1.5 or 3 metres in length, which are provided at both ends with conical coupling ends.
  • a coupling piece is placed thereon, said piece having two conical recesses, a further element being put on the coupling piece.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method of the kind set forth in the preamble in which said disadvantage does not occur.
  • this is achieved by placing a striking head having a conical recess fitting to the coupling end on the coupling end and by releasing the striking head from the coupling end with the aid of releasing means after the earth electrode has been struck in.
  • the coupling end is not upset during the striking operation, in contrast to the known method, so that a coupling piece perfectly fits to the coupling end and no stress concentrations will occur therein, which may produce cracks. Since a conical recess is used which accurately fits the coupling end, the striking head is firmly clamped to the earth electrode when driven in. This on first sight serious drawback is obviated by the invention because it has been found that the striking head can be readily disengaged from the coupling end by releasing means.
  • These releasing means comprise a tool which can exert a downwardly directed force on the earth electrode and at the same time an upwardly directed reactive force on the striking head.
  • the invention furthermore relates to and provides a striking head for driving in an earth electrode provided with a conical coupling end, said striking head having a recess open to the underside for receiving the coupling end and an impact surface.
  • the recess and the coupling end have complementary conical shapes.
  • the striking head is characterized by releasing means.
  • the releasing means can comprise an axial channel extending up to the recess, in which may be accommodated a pressure piece coming into contact with the coupling end and being associated with a releasing tool engaging the driving head.
  • the channel is formed by a screwthreaded bore so that as a releasing tool a cheap, commercially available screw bolt may be used.
  • the releasing means comprise an axial channel and, in addition, a transverse channel for a wedge.
  • a high degree of insensitivity to dirt of the driving head is obtained.
  • the earth electrode 1, which is driven into the ground by the method according to the invention, comprises a conical coupling end 2 having a conicity of, for example, 1°.
  • Fig. 2 shows that on the earth electrode 1 a driving head 4 having a recess 5 having a conicity complementary to the coupling end 2 of the earth elecrode 1 is placed.
  • the driving head 4 At the top end, in a cavity 7 for receiving an impact end of a Kango hammer 8, the driving head 4 has an impact surface 6.
  • the Kango hammer 8 By causing the Kango hammer 8 to act on the driving head 4 the earth electrode 1 is driven into the ground.
  • the Kango hammer 8 is removed. Since the conicity of the coupling end 2 of the earth electrode 1 has a self-hemming effect, the driving head 4 is clamped tight to the earth electrode 1 when the latter is driven in. According to the invention the driving head 4 is loosened by releasing means from the coupling end 2 of the earth electrode 1.
  • the releasing means may be formed by a separate puller 31 and in the driving head 30 the releasing means then have an axial channel extending up to the recess, which channel 40 may accommodate a pressure piece 35 of the puller 31, which piece comes into contact with the coupling end 2 of the earth electrode 1.
  • the pressure piece 35 in the embodiment shown is formed by a piston rod 35 connected with a piston 34.
  • the housing 32 of the puller 31 has a cylindrical recess 33 to which a pressurized fluid can be supplied through ducts 36, 37.
  • the housing 32 of the puller 31 has a cavity 38, which is open to one side of the housing 32 and which can receive a driving head 30 by laterally sliding the puller onto said driving head 30.
  • a rim 39 of the housing then grips below the driving head 30.
  • fluid for example, oil via the duct 36 into the space above the piston 34 the piston rod 35 operating like a gland comes into contact with the coupling end 2 and by the reactive force exerted by the rim 39 the driving head 30 is drawn away from the coupling end 2 of the earth electrode 1.
  • the releasing means have an axial channel 10 partly screwthreaded (11) for receiving a screw bolt 12.
  • the bolt 12 is screwed down to an extent such that its bottom surface 13 comes into contact with the top surface 14 of the coupling end 2.
  • the reactive force transferred via the screwthread of the bolt 12 to the driving head 4 the latter is drawn off the coupling end 2.
  • the driving head 20 itself also comprises releasing means.
  • the releasing means are formed by an axial channel 21 and a transverse channel 23 in which a wedge 24 may extend.
  • a pressure piece 22 is introduced into the central channel 21.
  • the wedge 24 is inserted into the transverse channel 23.
  • the top surface 25 of the wedge 24, which is rounded off for avoiding stress concentrations, thus comes into contact with a wall 26 of the transverse channel 23 and the bottom surface 28 of the wedge 24 comes into contact with the top surface 27 of the pressure piece 22.
  • the top surface 25 and the bottom surface 28 of the wedge 24 are at a small angle relative to one another in known manner.
  • the pressure piece 22 By exerting a force, for example, by means of a hammer, on the right-hand end (see Fig. 3) of the wedge 24, the pressure piece 22 is urged downwards with respect to the driving head 20 so that a vertically downward force is exerted on the coupling end 2 of the earth electrode 1.
  • the top surface 25 of the wedge 24 exerts a reactive force in upward direction on the wall 26 of the transverse channel 23.
  • the driving head according to the invention may be made from hard steel, for example, C-45 steel.
  • a heavy hammer may be used to drive in the earth electrode, in which case the hammer strikes the top of the driving head. This was not possible with the conventional driving head having a cylindrical recess, since this driving head will not remain centered on the earth electrode.
