Pile-driver assembly for controlled pile driving into ground
The granted patent US12024847B2 presents a novel pile-driver assembly designed for efficiently driving piles into the ground. The assembly features a casing that houses a fluid-filled chamber, a positioning element that aligns the casing with the pile, and an actuating means that includes a central moving element capable of transitioning between extended and retracted positions. This actuating means is equipped with a buffering chamber that adjusts its volume as the central moving element moves, allowing for controlled regulation of the internal buffering characteristics through valves. The assembly is engineered to displace the chamber away from the pile and then release it to exert a force on the positioning element, thereby driving the pile into the ground in a controlled manner.
Additionally, the patent outlines methods for utilizing the pile-driver assembly, including the steps of positioning the assembly coaxially with the pile, actuating the means to move the chamber, and subsequently releasing it to drive the pile. The method emphasizes the importance of controllably buffering the force exerted on the pile, which can be achieved through repeated actuation until the pile reaches a predetermined depth. The assembly can also incorporate fluid chambers that influence the movement of the central element, with the potential use of water from offshore locations as the driving fluid. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for a sophisticated pile-driving mechanism that enhances precision and control in construction applications.
