The main content of daily maintenance of pile drivers is to apply lubricating oil and butter, mainly for the parts with greater friction during work, to ensure the lubrication effect, to ensure the efficiency, stability, safety and durability of pile drivers in daily operations. Let me introduce to you how to simply maintain pile drivers every day. Note: Every day!
1.The sides and front of the horizontal telescopic guide rail should be lubricated once a day to ensure smooth working surface, and observe whether there are debris, stones, and iron filings sucked in.
2. The working surface of the vertical guide rail and the interface with the wear-resistant block need to be lubricated once a day.
3. Each pile driver has multiple oil cylinders, and each oil cylinder has a grease nipple at the hinge point of the pin hole at the top, which needs to be injected with grease once a day.
4.The pin ends at the working position are all embedded with grease nipples, which need to be injected with grease once a day.
5. The working chain of the vertical guide rail (if the guide rail has a chain) needs to be lubricated with engine oil before work, and the debris, stones and iron filings attached to the chain should be cleaned up in time after work.
6. Check if any screws are loose. If so, tighten them immediately.
7.Check the connection surfaces of hydraulic components and all pipe joints of oil circuits for leaks.
8.Check the hydraulic oil level to ensure that the oil level is within the normal range.
In summary, all parts with more friction should be lubricated, and all grease fittings of oil cylinders and pins should be filled with grease. If there is a chain, you need to apply engine oil. Note that these are daily maintenance tasks that need to be done every day!
Here I would like to give a suggestion to the contractors of photovoltaic projects and road guardrail construction projects: solar pile drivers and highway guardrail pile drivers, which have a relatively harsh working environment, must pay attention to daily maintenance. Three points of use and seven points of maintenance, or it can be understood as the 2-8 principle, using less than 20% of the time every day to maintain the machine can bring 70% more work efficiency. Daily routine maintenance can greatly reduce the probability of machine failure, thereby greatly improving economic benefits. I hope everyone can pay more attention to the daily maintenance of the machine!
Whether it is for highway guardrail pile drivers or photovoltaic pile drivers, high-quality steel, alloys and other raw materials are crucial to the structural strength and durability of pile drivers. For some important working parts, it is necessary to strengthen and thicken the steel to meet the performance requirements of the pile driver's severe vibration. For example, hammer splints, vertical guide rails, walking tracks, etc.
The steel used by our company is very reliable: the whole vehicle adopts national standard steel, and higher strength and thicker steel is used on important working parts to ensure the working requirements and durability of the pile driver, creating greater value for customers. For example, our hammer splints and vertical guide rails use Q345 and Q355 high-strength manganese steel, which is very strong and durable. There have been no problems in the past 10 years, and this is something that most pile driver manufacturers cannot do. The T10mm steel used by general manufacturers is not durable, and the overall stability and safety of the machine are greatly reduced.
By measuring the thickness of the steel used in the pile driver, we can roughly judge some of the performance of the pile driver. The steel used in the product can largely determine the performance of the machine. Therefore, when choosing and purchasing a pile driver, you must use a professional eye to measure it.
Whether it's highway guardrail pile drivers, solar photovoltaic pile drivers, drilling machines, down-the-hole drills, or even all construction machinery, I think the following aspects can largely determine the quality of mechanical products. This is just my personal opinion, and I welcome exchanges.
I. Design and Engineering Technology
Reasonable overall structural design is the core element in ensuring product quality. The application of advanced engineering technologies, such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and simulation analysis software, enables virtual testing and optimization of structural strength, dynamic performance, etc. before actual product manufacturing, reducing design flaws and enhancing the reliability of product quality. The design of guardrail pile drivers needs to take into account the compatibility with different specifications of guardrail piles, the control of pile driving verticality, work efficiency, as well as the convenience of operation and maintenance. For example, different pile types need to be matched with different pile driving hammers. The application scenarios of photovoltaic pile drivers are more complex. When designing solar pile drivers, factors such as the distribution of the equipment's center of gravity, operability, and adaptability to different photovoltaic site terrains need to be considered. For instance, a reasonable chassis and traveling mechanism can ensure that the pile driver can move smoothly and be positioned accurately in complex terrains like sandy areas and hills, and adding different counterweights can maintain the stability of the center of gravity of the photovoltaic pile driver during work and prevent accidents. Our company has a sophisticated R&D team that is proficient in CAD and various simulation analysis software, and their expertise is the greatest support for the quality assurance of our products.
II. Quality of Raw Materials and Components
High-quality raw materials such as steel and alloys are crucial for the structural strength and durability of pile drivers. For highway guardrail pile drivers and Solar Photovoltaic pile drivers, the quality of key components like drill bits, engines, and hydraulic systems directly affects the working efficiency, stability, and durability of the equipment. For example, the steel materials used by our company are very reliable: the whole vehicle uses national standard steel materials, including Q355 high-strength steel plates and Q345 manganese steel. For example, we use 14-mm-thick Q355 manganese plates for the hammer clamping plates, which are sturdy, durable, and not prone to breakage; for the whole vehicle's wear-resistant plates, we use wear-resistant nylon. We deeply understand that the materials used in products and the quality of components are the most fundamental and important aspects in ensuring the quality of pile drivers.
III. Production Processes and Manufacturing Procedures
For example, in the welding process, the adoption of advanced welding techniques and strict control of welding process parameters can ensure the welding quality of the structural parts of the pile driver, avoiding welding defects such as pores and cracks, thus ensuring the overall structural strength of the equipment. Here, I would like to briefly and proudly introduce our processing techniques. 1. Blanking method: Laser blanking (with high precision, fast speed, and small deformation). 2. Welding. 3. Machining (For important components, the guide rails are processed by boring machines and machining centers for higher precision, and the drill bit caps are processed by CNC milling machines). 4. Surface treatment: Shot blasting (to remove the surface oxide layer and rust and increase the adhesion of subsequent painting). 5. Cleaning and grinding (to check the areas not processed by the shot blasting machine and conduct secondary treatment). 6. Painting: We use electrostatic spray guns. The powder coating is melted, leveled, and cured after heating, so that the sprayed workpieces will be more durable and have stronger ultraviolet resistance.
IV. Personnel Quality and Skill Training
Ultimately, product quality is created and ensured by people, so the quality and skill level of enterprise employees have a profound impact on product quality. Operators on the production line need to possess proficient operating skills and rich experience, be able to accurately understand and execute production process requirements, and avoid product quality problems caused by human operation errors. For example, skilled assembly workers can ensure the correct installation of components, and debugging engineers can precisely debug and optimize the equipment to make it reach the best performance state.
V. Quality Control and Inspection System
Product quality is not just talk. Whether the product quality meets the standards must be verified through product quality inspections. Only in this way can we ensure that the products delivered to customers are of reliable quality and satisfy them. Establishing a sound quality control system is the cornerstone for ensuring stable product quality. Enterprises should formulate strict quality control standards and procedures to conduct comprehensive management of all aspects such as raw material procurement, production process monitoring, and finished product inspection. And all of our products have passed ISO 9001 and CE certifications.
