DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The invention is described in more detail below with the aid of a preferred exemplary embodiment, which is shown schematically in the drawing. The single drawing shows a front view of a lower part of a ground-working machine 10 according to the invention.

[0025] The ground-working machine 10 according to the invention is constructed, with respect to the carrier unit that is not shown, with a mast, as known from EP 2 395 153 B1. Along the mast (not shown), in the ground-working machine 10 according to the invention, a tool unit 11 with two elongate drilling and mixing tools 20 is mounted so that it can be moved vertically. A central, rod-form intermediate element 30 is arranged between the two parallel orientated drilling and mixing tools 20.

[0026] In the lower area shown, the two drilling and mixing tools 20 with the intermediate element 30 are coupled to each other via a lower first transverse yoke 12 and an upper second transverse yoke 14. In the first transverse yoke 12 and the second transverse yoke 14, the drilling and mixing tools 20 as well as the rod-form intermediate element 30 are each mounted rotatably via rotary bearings.

[0027] In their lower area below the first transverse yoke 12, the two drilling and mixing tools 20 each have a lower first screw conveyor 24 on their rod-form base body 22. The first screw conveyor 24 thereby extends from a removal means 28 with ground removing teeth via a winding as far as the lower end of the first transverse yoke 12. In an upper area above the second transverse yoke 14, the two drilling and mixing tools 20 each have an upper second screw conveyor 26, which each have a plurality of windings. According to the invention an outer diameter of the lower first screw conveyor 24 is greater than an outer diameter of the upper second screw conveyor 26.

[0028] Through the removal means 28 at the lower tips of the drilling and mixing tools 20, together with the lower first screw conveyor 24, a respective bore with a first bore diameter is created in the ground. Due to the larger outer diameter of the lower first screw conveyor 24, the upper second screw conveyors 26 with a smaller diameter do not contact the bore wall during drilling. Friction while drilling the bore is thus avoided, which has a positive effect on the drive power and the friction wear on the drilling and mixing tools 20.

[0029] In order to interconnect the two bores formed by the drilling and working tools 20 spaced apart from each other to form an approximately oval drilling cross-section, the rod-form intermediate element 30 is also provided at its lower end with a removal means 28 with removal teeth. In its lower area the intermediate element 30 is held free from a screw conveyor. In an intermediate area between the first transverse yoke 12 and the second transverse yoke 14, further removal teeth 32 are arranged, which extend approximately radially relative to the axis of rotation of the intermediate element 30 outwards and downwards.

[0030] In an upper area above the second transverse yoke 14 a tubular base body of the rod-form intermediate element 30 is provided with a screw conveyor 36. The screw conveyor 36 can have the same rotating direction and design as the second screw conveyor 26 of the drilling and mixing tool 20 on the right, whereas the second screw conveyor 26 of the drilling and mixing tool 20 on the left has an opposing spiral rotation. By means of at least one outlet opening 34 at the lower end of the tubular intermediate element 30, a binder suspension can be introduced, from outside the borehole, into the bore preferably under pressure. Through the rotating movement of the drilling and mixing tools 20 and the intermediate element 30, the ground material removed is mixed with the binder suspension, wherein a ground mortar is formed that sets. After withdrawal of the tool unit 11 from the borehole, the ground mortar can set to form a wall panel for a support or sealing wall.

[0031] The area of the lower first screw conveyor 24 with the removal means 28 of the two drilling and mixing tools 20 is attached via a first connecting means 16 releasably to the rod-form base bodies 22. The first connecting means 16 is an axial shaft connection with spline groove teething. This lower area is connected via the first transverse yoke 12 with each other and constitutes an exchangeable unit.

[0032] By means of a corresponding second connecting means 18 above the second transverse yoke 14, a further segment of the drilling and mixing tools 20 as well as the intermediate element 30 can be attached to the respective rod-form base bodies 22 in an easily releasable manner.
