Screw-in ground anchor
View Patent ↗A foundation driller for anchoring of components in soil is provided that includes an apparatus in which the foundation driller comprises a base body with at least one cylindrical area and at least one cutting blade that provides forward advancement, in which the base body comprises at least two cylindrical areas with different diameters, wherein the area nearer to the soil has a smaller diameter and the at least one cutting blade providing forward advancement is attached at the area nearer to the soil and has an even incline.
1. A screw-in ground anchor for anchoring structural elements in soil, the screw-in ground anchor comprising:
a base member including at least three regions having at least two cylindrical regions and at least one conical region wherein said at least three regions are arranged so that there are alternating cylindrical and conical regions with decreasing size in the direction towards the ground; and
at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion,
wherein each of the at least one cutting blade extends over only one of said cylindrical regions and does not extend over and does not extend beyond an extent of said one cylindrical region and does not extend over any region which has a conical shape,
wherein the at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion is produced by forging or a casting process, is attached to the lower cylindrical region, and has a uniform pitch, and
wherein a filling of a curable material is introduced into the upper cylindrical region of the base member, in which material a support is fastened directly or indirectly.
2. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion is affixed to a sleeve, which is detachably connected to the base member of the screw-in ground anchor.
3. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one supplementary cutting blade is attached to the upper region of the base member, and wherein the supplementary cutting blade has a larger outside diameter but the same pitch as the cutting blade attached to the lower region that is closer to the ground.
4. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the base member of the screw-in ground anchor has a tube to which the cutting blade and at least one supplementary cutting blade are attached.
5. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the base member contains three cylindrical regions with different diameters, and wherein a region closest to the ground has the smallest diameter and the at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion is affixed to the middle region.
6. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein a drilling tip is attached to the ground-facing end of the base member.
7. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the base member has tubular sections that have lateral openings.
8. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the base member and/or the cutting blades is/are provided with a coating.
9. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein, located in the base member are components for increasing friction, which are brought between the exterior surface of the screw-in ground anchor and the soil located around it during a screw-in process through one or more lateral openings.
10. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the ground-facing region is configured with a pyramidal shape, and the cutting blade has a hole corresponding to the pyramidal region of the base member.
11. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein one of the at least two cylindrical regions comprises an end of the screw-in ground anchor and includes an open bottom end.
12. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the curable material comprises concrete or a synthetic resin.
13. A screw-in ground anchor for anchoring structural elements in soil, the screw-in ground anchor comprising:
a base member having an open bottom end and including at least three regions having at least two cylindrical regions and at least one conical region wherein said at least three regions are arranged so that there are alternating cylindrical and conical regions with decreasing size in the direction towards the ground; and
at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion,
wherein each of the at least one cutting blade extends over only one of said cylindrical regions and does not extend beyond an extent of said one cylindrical region and does not extend over any region which has a conical shape,
wherein the cutting blade that produces forward motion is composed of a plurality of individual cutting blades, which include segments that are arranged on a thread pitch or next to one another at a height, and
wherein a filling of a curable material is introduced into the upper cylindrical region of the base member, in which material a support is fastened directly or indirectly.
14. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 13 , wherein one of the at least two cylindrical regions comprises an end of the screw-in ground anchor and includes the open bottom end.
15. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 13 , wherein the curable material comprises concrete or a synthetic resin.
16. A screw-in ground anchor for anchoring structural elements in soil, the screw-in ground anchor comprising:
a base member having an open bottom end and including at least three regions having at least two cylindrical regions and at least one conical region wherein said at least three regions are arranged so that there are alternating cylindrical and conical regions with decreasing size in the direction towards the ground; and
at least one cutting blade that produces forward motion,
wherein each of the at least one cutting blade extends over only one of said cylindrical regions and does not extend beyond an extent of said one cylindrical region and does not extend over any region which has a conical shape, and
wherein a filling of a curable material is introduced into the upper cylindrical region of the base member, in which material a support is fastened directly or indirectly.
17. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 16 , wherein one of the at least two cylindrical regions comprises an end of the screw-in ground anchor and includes the open bottom end.
18. The screw-in ground anchor according to claim 16 , wherein the curable material comprises concrete or a synthetic resin.
