Abstract

The invention relates to a ground-working machine and a method for producing wall panels, with the ground-working machine having at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools arranged parallel to each other, which comprise a rod-form base body, on which a first screw conveyor and at least one second screw conveyor are arranged, the second screw conveyor being axially spaced apart from the first screw conveyor. According to the invention it is provided that at least on one drilling and mixing tool at a lower end the first screw conveyor is formed with an outer diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of the second screw conveyor which is arranged above the first screw conveyor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A ground-working machine having at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools arranged parallel to each other, which comprise a rod-form base body, on which a lower first screw conveyor and at least one upper second screw conveyor are arranged, the at least one upper second screw conveyor being axially spaced apart from the lower first screw conveyor,
wherein
on at least one of the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools, at a lower end of the lower first screw conveyor, the lower first screw conveyor is formed with an outer diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of the at least one upper second screw conveyor, which is arranged above the lower first screw conveyor,
a first transverse yoke and a second transverse yoke are arranged between the lower first screw conveyor and the at least one upper second screw conveyor, the first transverse yoke and the second transverse yoke connecting the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools to each other,
between the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools, a rod-form intermediate element is arranged, which has a third screw conveyor in an upper area of the rod-form intermediate element,
the intermediate element has, at least in a lower area of the intermediate element, a smaller outer diameter than an outer diameter of the neighboring at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools,
in a space between the first transverse yoke and the second transverse yoke, the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools comprise a fourth screw conveyor,
the intermediate element does not comprise a screw conveyor in the space between the first transverse yoke and the second transverse yoke, and
the fourth screw conveyor has a diameter greater than that of the at least one upper second screw conveyor, and
the lower area of the intermediate element is connected via the first transverse yoke and forms an exchangeable unit, which is releasably connected by an axial shaft connector.

2. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the lower first screw conveyor has a half to two spiral rotations.

3. The ground-working machine according to claim 2 ,
wherein
the lower first screw conveyor has a single spiral rotation.

4. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools are rotatably mounted in the first transverse yoke and the second transverse yoke.

5. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
at least in an area of the at least one upper second screw conveyor, mixing elements, agitating elements, or a combination of mixing elements and agitating elements are additionally arranged.

6. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
a removal means for removing ground material is attached to a lower tip of the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools.

7. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
a mast is provided, along which a carriage is movably guided, and the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools are rotatably mounted to the mast via the carriage.

8. The ground-working machine according to claim 7 ,
wherein
at least one rotary drive is arranged on the carriage for driving in rotation the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools.

9. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
a drivable carrier unit is provided.

10. A method for producing a wall panel in a ground with the ground-working machine according to claim 1 , having the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools arranged parallel to each other, which have the lower first screw conveyor and the at least one upper second screw conveyor, wherein the method comprises:
driving the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools in rotation and sinking the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools into the ground,
removing ground material
mixing the removed ground material with an added binder suspension and forming a ground mortar, and
setting the ground mortar to form the wall panel after the at least two elongate drilling and mixing tools have been pulled out of the ground,
wherein
via the use of the lower first screw conveyor on at least one of the elongate drilling and mixing tools, a bore diameter is produced that is greater than an outer diameter of the at least one upper second screw conveyor, wherein the at least one upper second screw conveyor is spaced apart from a bore wall.

11. The ground-working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the axial shaft connector comprises spline groove teething.
