Summer is the peak construction period for various projects, and pile driver construction projects are no exception. However, extreme weather such as high temperature, rain, and exposure in summer are also very challenging for construction machinery. In response to this problem, Yantai Juxiang Construction Machinery summarized some key points for the use and maintenance of pile drivers in summer.
1. Do a good inspection in advance
Before summer, do a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the hydraulic system of the pile driver.
1. Focus on the pile driver gearbox, excavator hydraulic oil tank and excavator cooling system. Check the oil quality, oil volume, cleanliness, etc. one by one, and replace them if necessary.
2. Always pay attention to check the cooling water volume during construction, and pay attention to the water temperature gauge. Once the water tank is found to be short of water, it should be stopped immediately and then added after cooling. Be careful not to open the water tank cover immediately to avoid burns.
3. The gear oil of the pile driver housing must use the brand and model specified by the manufacturer, and the model must not be changed at will.
4. The oil volume strictly complies with the manufacturer’s requirements, and add appropriate gear oil according to the size of the hammer head.
2. Use confluence as little as possible
Driving piles should be driven in mainly by dredging
1. Use primary vibration as much as possible. The more frequently secondary vibration is used, the greater the loss and the higher the heat generation.
2. When using secondary vibration, the duration should not exceed 20 seconds each time.
3. When the progress of piling is slow, pull the pile out 1-2 meters in time, and the hammer head of the pile driver and the power of the excavator will work together to assist the impact of 1-2 meters, so that the pile can be driven in more easily.
3. Check the easily worn objects frequently
The fan of the radiator, the head bolts of the fixing frame, the water pump belt and the connecting hose are all easily worn objects. After long-term use, the bolts will inevitably loosen and the belts will deform, resulting in a decrease in transmission capacity, and the same is true for the hoses.
1. For these easily worn objects, check them frequently. If the bolts are found to be loose, tighten them in time.
2. If the belt is too loose or the hose is aged, cracked, or the seal is damaged, it should be replaced in time.
4. Cool down in time
The hot summer is a period when the failure rate of construction machinery is relatively high, especially for machinery operating in an environment with strong sunlight.
1. If conditions permit, the excavator driver should park the pile driver in a cool place in time after the operation is completed or in the interval between operations, which is conducive to quickly reducing the temperature of the pile driver box.
2. At any time, never use cold water to directly rinse the box to cool down.
5. Maintenance of other parts
1. Brake system maintenance
Frequently check whether the brake system of the pile driver is normal. If the brake failure is found, the parts should be replaced and repaired in time.
2. Hydraulic system maintenance
The cleanliness and oil volume of the hydraulic system’s hydraulic oil have a great impact on the working performance and life of the pile driver. Frequently check the oil level and oil quality of the hydraulic oil. If the oil quality is poor or the oil level is too low, the hydraulic oil should be added or replaced in time.
3. Engine maintenance
Engine maintenance includes changing the engine oil, replacing the air filter and fuel filter, replacing the spark plug and injector, etc. When replacing, you should choose the oil and filter that meet the requirements, and strictly follow the maintenance manual for replacement operations.
