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 defines a chamber for housing a fluid, along with a positioning element that secures the casing to the pile. A key component of the assembly is the actuating means, which includes a central moving element that can transition between extended and retracted positions. This actuating means also incorporates a buffering chamber that adjusts its volume based on the movement of the central element, allowing for controlled regulation of the internal buffering characteristics through valves. The assembly is engineered to displace the chamber away from the pile and subsequently 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, emphasizing the importance of buffering the force exerted on the pile during the driving process. The method involves positioning the assembly coaxially with the pile, actuating the means to move the chamber away, and then releasing it to drive the pile. The process can be repeated until the pile reaches a predetermined depth. The assembly also allows for the chamber to be filled with fluid, which can include water sourced from offshore locations, enhancing its operational versatility. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for a pile-driving system that emphasizes control and efficiency in construction applications.
