Hello, It could also be the opposite, that is, the piston could descend from the top towards the cylinder, but in this system it is too light. However, there are hammers with pistons that go down into the cylinder. Other uses, certainly.

Exact. The process cannot be automated, it is dangerous to then stop the process in case of malfunction. The system requires manual dexterity to allow the operator to immediately and precisely interrupt the descent of the pole into the ground. It would be easy to automate the process. But in this specific sector it is not possible.

The manufacturer calls this a “guide rod diesel pile hammer”. It is also known as a pile driver. It is not pneumatically powered.

@MadScientist267

Ай бұрын

This isn't "pneumatic", it is powered by the diesel mechanism. It operates exactly like a 2 stroke diesel except instead of the piston moving and turning a crank, the cylinder and head moves and gravity powers the compression stroke. Cylinder comes down with fresh air, the compression heats it, the fuel pops off when the temperature reaches the critical value, half the force goes into directly driving the load, the other half goes into the cylinder, and returns to heat the next charge of air, and the cycle repeats as long as the operator keeps opening the fuel valve at the right time.

Never knew of diesel piledrivers before now. Absolutely amazing!

@danlowe8684

Ай бұрын

I worked for several years as an inspector for the DOT using the second type (and more common) of hammer in the video where the piston is moving up and down. The crane operator is running three cables - one for the pile hammer leads (framework), one to lift the piston to start the operation, and one for the pile being lifted into the leads and driven. There is a rope attached to the fuel supply valve to shut down the driving once bearing tonnage has been reached. The bearing tonnage is predetermined for the use. It is calculated by a formula involving the weight of the piston, the height of the piston drop, and the weight of the pile itself. This gives you the necessary distance per blow to achieve the tonnage of bearing designed. So, if you calculated that a minimum of one half-inch/blow is needed, you mark the pile and count 10 blows, mark again, measure. If measured less that 5 inches, the fuel supply cut-off rope is pulled, halting the driving on that pile. It is important to halt not only for cost (paid by foot driven) but because cast-in-place piling are designed to be 'hung' in a layer of suitable soil to gain tonnage via friction. H-piling are driven to bedrock and must also be halted to avoid doing damage to the pile.

That’s impressive!

Hi, two-stroke diesel yes. It is an engine that today is used almost exclusively for the propulsion of ships, its cycle (intake-compression-expansion-exhaust) is carried out in 360°, i.e. one revolution of the crankshaft exactly like in two-stroke engines. The main characteristic of a two-stroke Diesel cycle is that of having an exhaust opening (called port) in the cylinder walls (as in two-stroke engines with positive ignition), this port is controlled in opening and closing by the passage of the piston.
