Establishing the value of the deflection of the soil-piercing working body with an asymmetric tip when correcting the airway of movement

Abstract

Trenchless laying of engineering communications is actively used in all countries of the world. Among the existing methods of formation of wells for the implementation of these technologies, the most popular is the method of ground penetration. The main disadvantage of this method is the poor accuracy of movement of the piercing head in the array. This requires constant adjustments to the trajectory of its movement. This process can be controlled by using a head with an asymmetrical tip and acting on it with translational and rotational motion. The transmission of these movements from the power unit by means of type-setting push rods. Therefore, it is important to choose a trajectory such that the deflection of the bar will be within the permissible stress range. If the bend goes beyond these limits, the rod may break and the puncture process will be interrupted. The conducted studies have established the regularities of the process of puncturing the soil with a head with an asymmetric tip in the form of an inclined flat surface. It has been established that the greatest deviation of the head from the action of the transverse component of the soil resistance force, which occurs when moving such a working body in the soil, will occur at an angle of inclination of the front surface of 25º, and the smallest deviation will occur at an angle of 55º. In addition, it was found that in heavy clay, deflection will occur almost 3 times worse than in a soup and 1.4 times worse than in a loam. It has been experimentally confirmed that at a distance of 10 m the puncture with a head with an inclined forehead surface in sandy loam was 40 mm, and in clay 20 mm. At an angle of inclination of 70º, a constant core of soil compaction is formed and the process of controlling the movement of the head stops.
