Robust Device For Spreading Sand At Predetermined Dimensions And For Placing Ducts In A Sewerage Channel

Abstract

The application relates to a robust self-propelled device, having an oblong shape and a self-supporting housing (1) of the exoskeleton type, having attached a winch (10) and that is supported by a rail track (8), comprising active parts and supporting parts: a levelling blade (2) connected by means of swiveling rods (9) to the housing exoskeleton and in the top part thereof to a laser receiver (6) by a removable graduated rod (5), also in the rear part it is provided with an active device for placing ducts (3). The said device is operated by an actuating and control panel (7), mounted by means of a removable supporting rod (4). The said device serving to eliminate the need for the human presence in the sewerage channel, preventing the risk of accidents, increasing the construction rate, increasing the accuracy in laying the sand base and also placing the sewerage duct on the sand base.

Claims

1. Robust device for spreading sand at prescribed dimensions and for placing ducts in a sewerage channel, comprising a self-supporting housing, supported by a rail track, a levelling blade connected by swiveling rods to the housing and at the top part of the device is connected to a laser receiver by a removable graduated rod, the said device being operated by means of an actuating and control panel mounted on a removable supporting rod.

2. Robust device for spreading sand at prescribed dimensions and for placing ducts in a sewerage channel according to claim 1, wherein a winch is attached to the said self-supporting housing.

3. Robust device for spreading sand and for placing ducts in a sewerage channel according to claim 1, wherein it includes an active device for placing ducts attached to the said housing, the said active device for placing ducts moving oscillantly, both in a vertical plane and in a horizontal plane.

4. Robust device for spreading sand and for placing ducts in a sewerage channel′ according to claim 1, wherein adjusting the dimensions of the 20 levelling blade relative to the contact ground point of the rail track is accomplished by means of a control signal transmitted by the actuating and control panel to an electro-mechanical gear, which in turn actuates a control rod.

Description

[0009] According to the present invention there is provided a self-propelled robust device, having an oblong shape, with a self-supporting housing (1) of the exoskeleton type having attached a winch (10), the housing being supported by a rail track (8), that includes active and supporting parts in its structure: a levelling blade (2), connected by swiveling rods (9) to the housing exoskeleton, and connected at the top end thereof to a laser receiver (6) by a removable graduated rod (5) and at the rear part it is provided with an active device for mounting ducts (3). The said device is operated by an actuating and control panel (7), connected on a removable supporting rod (4). The role of the laser receiver is to confirm, by means of the laser beam, the position of the line that serves to guide the device according to the present invention. The said laser beam is generated by a laser emitter that indicates the predetermined dimensions according to the sewerage design.

[0010] The actuating and control panel (7) is able to start/stop and/or to operate the moving speed of the device according to the present invention. The control panel is also able to adjust the dimensions of the levelling blade (2). Specifically, a signal is transmitted from the actuating and control panel (7) to the electro-mechanical gear (11) which, in turn, adjusts the dimensions of the levelling blade (2) by lifting or lowering thereof, by means of a control rod (12) at a predetermined height.

[0011] The above mentioned active device for mounting ducts (3) has an oscillating move both in a vertical plane and in a horizontal plane, such as to mount the sewerage ducts within the sewerage channel.
