DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] FIG. 1 shows a threaded rod 2 which can be rotated in the direction of rotation 24 about a threaded rod axis 23 running centrally in the axial direction through the threaded rod. The threaded rod has a thread 4 on its outer circumference at certain sections, which has a continuous helix despite interruptions in the axial direction. Outside these sections, the threaded rod has flat areas which form the drive profile of the threaded rod and are referred to below as wrench flats 3.

[0058] FIG. 2 shows the screwing-in system 1, with which the threaded rod 2 can be inserted into a substrate 22. For this purpose, the threaded rod 2 is driven in rotation by a drive sleeve 13, with a threaded socket 19 converting this rotation into translation in the direction of arrow 25. The inner profile 34 of the drive sleeve 19 forms a clamping chuck for the threaded rod 2.

[0059] The drive sleeve 13 is detachably and replaceably connected to the rotary coupling 14 via a flange connection 12, which transmits a rotary motion generated by the drive machine 5 to the drive sleeve 13.

[0060] The drive machine 5 is mounted on a carriage 8 which can move forward in the direction of arrow 25 and backward in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow 25. For this purpose, the carriage is mounted on two rails 11, which are part of the mounting 6.

[0061] A feed drive 27 moves the carriage forward on the mounting 6 while the threaded rod 2 is rotated about its threaded rod axis 23 in the direction of rotation 24.

[0062] The threaded rod 2 is clamped in the profiling 34, which has the function of a clamping chuck, of the drive sleeve 13 and then the threaded rod is placed with its front end 33 on the thread of the threaded socket 19 and then the drive machine 5 is switched on.

[0063] The threaded rods 2 are screwed into the substrate 22 automatically, so to speak, because the feed of the threaded rods 2 is caused by the engagement of the thread 4 of the threaded rods 2 in the threaded socket-side thread.

[0064] The rotating drive of the drive sleeve 13 thus drives the rotating threaded rod 2, which moves at a feed rate, progressively into the soil or rock below the threaded socket 19. This is assisted by the thread 4, since the thread pitches of the thread 4 arranged on its circumference pull the threaded rod into the substrate 22.

[0065] In this case, the threaded rod 2 can be inserted into the drive sleeve 13, which is driven in rotation at the front of the drive machine 5, via an insertion opening 38 arranged at the rear of the drive machine 5, which in turn drives the threaded rod 2 in rotation in the longitudinal direction.

[0066] The threaded socket 19 is received in the clamping opening 18, which is formed between two clamping jaws 16. These clamping jaws 16 are part of the clamping device 15.

[0067] The mounting 6 has a guide plate 20 at its substrate end, after the clamping device 15, with a crescent-shaped recess 21 at the top end through which the threaded rod 2 passes.

[0068] The mounting 6 also has a similar guide plate 9 at its insertion end, which has a hole 10 through which the threaded rod 2 is inserted.

[0069] FIG. 3 shows another perspective view of the screwing-in system 1 without threaded rod. One of these is guided through the hole 10 of the guide plate 9 in the direction of arrow 25 to equip the mounting 6 and is inserted at the rear into the insertion opening 38 of the drive machine 5 until contact is made with the drive sleeve 13.

[0070] Due to the internal profiling 34 of the drive sleeve 13, which has a certain amount of clearance to the wrench flats 3 of the threaded rod 2, the rod can be pushed through the drive sleeve until it protrudes from the drive sleeve 13. Preferably, the carriage 8 is located at the guide plate 9, i.e., at the insertion end of the rails 11. The threaded rod 2 is passed through until it rests on the thread of the threaded socket 19 at the substrate-side end of the carriage 11. Subsequently, the drive sleeve 13 is driven to rotate by the drive machine 5 so that this rotation is transmitted to the threaded rod 2.

[0071] Here, the threaded rod 2 experiences a feed in the direction of arrow 25 due to the thread engagement in the thread of the threaded socket 19, wherein the drive machine 5 also travels on the carriage at the same speed in the direction of arrow 25. The movement of the carriage is controlled by the control unit 26, which transmits the corresponding control commands to the feed drive 27 shown in FIG. 4.

[0072] Thus, the drive sleeve 13 engages only in a constant section of the threaded rod 2 during the entire feed distance of the carriage 8 between the end on the insertion side and the end on the substrate side of the rails 11 and drives it in rotation.

[0073] When the maximum feed movement in which the carriage 11 can travel is reached, which is the case when the drive sleeve 13 has reached the threaded socket 19, the positive locking between the drive sleeve 13 and the threaded rod 2 is cancelled and the carriage 8 with the drive machine 5 is moved against the direction of the arrow 25 along the threaded rod axis 23 of the threaded rod 2 until the insertion end of the rails 11 is reached. At this position, the drive sleeve 13 again engages the wrench flats 3 of the threaded rod 2, although this time it is a different area of the threaded rod.

[0074] FIG. 4 shows a partially cutaway view of the screwing-in system 1. The control unit 26 controls, among other things, the feed drive 27 of the carriage 8. The feed drive 27 rotationally drives a roller 28, which rolls along the underside 29 of the rail 11. Alternatively, a toothed wheel is provided which engages with a toothed rack on the underside. The frictional connection thus created thus moves the carriage 8, which is connected to the feed drive 27, along the longitudinal extent of the rail 11. Thus, the drive sleeve 13 can be moved to any position along the rail 11 and engage the threaded rod 2 at defined areas.

[0075] In addition, the follower rollers 30 are located laterally of the rails 11, which support the linear movement of the carriage 11 laterally.

[0076] FIG. 5 shows the clamping device 15, which actuates the two clamping jaws 16 in and against the opening direction 39 via a clamping drive 17. The two clamping jaws 16 form a clamping opening 18 between them, into which a threaded socket 19 not shown here can be received and fixed in position. The guide plate 20, which also forms the substrate end of the mounting 6, is located at the substrate end of the clamping device 15.

[0077] FIG. 6 shows a tracked vehicle 31, which in the example shown here is an excavator, with a hydraulically raisable and lowerable boom arm 32, on which the mounting 6 is mounted and can be freely moved by means of the boom arm and aligned in the desired direction of insertion of the threaded rod 2. Thus, the threaded rod 2 can be inserted into the substrate 22 in the direction of arrow 25 by the screwing-in system 1 according to the invention.

[0078] FIG. 7 shows a sectional view of the screwing-in system 1. The threaded rod 2 is guided along the threaded rod axis 23 within the drive machine 5. The drive machine 5 drives the drive sleeve 13 via the rotary coupling 14 and a flange connection 12. This drive sleeve 13 has an internal profiling 34, which enables positive engagement with the threaded rod 2, in particular its wrench flats 3. In this way, it is possible to insert the threaded rod 2 into the rotationally driven profiled drive sleeve 13, which is adapted to the profile of the threaded rod 2 described above, and there to establish the frictional connection with the flat sides of the threaded rod 2, after which the drive sleeve 13 is rotationally driven and the threaded rod 2 is screwed through the thread of the threaded socket 19 from top to bottom and driven into the soil or rock with its front end 33. The threaded rod 2 is advanced by engaging the threaded rod in the threaded socket.

[0079] FIG. 8 shows a retracted drive machine 5, which is located at the insertion end in the area of the rear guide plate 9. In FIG. 8, the clamping device and threaded socket are not shown.

[0080] In order to ensure that it runs as smoothly as possible on the rails 1, the carriage 8 has sliding bodies 35 which grip laterally around the rail 11. When the screwing-in machine is put into operation, the rotating drive sleeve 13 moves in the direction of the guide plate 20, which is located at the insertion end, and drives the threaded rod 2 to rotate.

[0081] The control unit 26 is arranged on the side of the mounting 5 and a part of the boom arm 32 can be seen.

[0082] To unscrew the threaded rod 2 from the substrate 22, the drive machine 5 on the translationally movable carriage 8 is moved along the threaded rod axis 23 in accordance with the backward movement of the threaded rod 2 and the drive sleeve 13 is rotated in the direction opposite to the screwing-in direction.

[0083] The present invention is not limited to the use of a threaded socket as shown in FIG. 9. In the example shown here, the thread which allows the translational movement of the threaded rod 2 into the substrate 22 is located as a threaded hole 37 in an anchor plate 36 which rests on the substrate 22. In this way, the driven threaded rod 2 rotating through the drive machine 5 or drive sleeve 13 can be inserted into the substrate 22.
