BACKGROUND

In the related art, various discharge jets which drive the earth by employing a hydraulic advancement guiding pile generally have the following defects and shortcomings: 1) the structure and shape are simple and therefore cannot meet the needs of multiple changeable structure and shape pile-planks; 2) the diameter of the discharge jet, the angle between discharge holes, and the distance between the discharge holes and the earth cannot meet the requirement of the pile-plank to drive the earth; and 3) the ability of the discharge jet to pass through an underearth obstacle is poor when confronted with an underearth obstacle, for example, in Chinese Utility Module application No. 200610070402.4, in plank insertion, when there exists the underearth obstacle, a conical pile-plank needs to be prefabricated in advance, thereby overcoming a resistance by means of the conical pile-plank. However, the conical pile-plank has an inconvenience no matter in construction or in transportation because the position of the underearth obstacle cannot be foreknown ahead of time, and the conical pile-plank as required also cannot be definitely prefabricated in water conservancy construction.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure is intended to overcome the defects of the related art and provides a discharge jet. First of all, the discharge jet conforms to the shape of a pile-plank. Secondly, parameters of the discharge jet are set so as to improve the capability of the water jet and increase the penetrating power of the pile-plank. And lastly, when there is an obstacle in pile-plank construction, a water jet head may be fixed on the bottom of the pile-plank additionally so as to increase the penetrating power to the obstacle. Technical solutions adopted by the present disclosure are as follows: a discharge jet may include a discharge jet body, the body being connected with a water inlet pipe, and the shape of the body is basically the same as a pile-plank; the diameter of the discharge jet is in the range of 50 mm-500 mm; water jet holes are formed in the body; the diameter of each water jet hole is in the range of 1.5 mm-15 mm; each space between adjacent water jet holes is in the range of 8 mm-80 mm; and the maximum included angle formed by the water jet holes is in the range of 30°-180°.
Further, according to the technical character of the present disclosure, the area, cut by each of the water jet holes, of the earth is smaller than 64 cm², and an internal water inlet pressure of the body is in the range of 0.2 MPa-6 MPa.
Further, according to the technical character of the present disclosure, the pile-plank is of an I shape, a T shape, an H shape, a tubular shape, a double cross shape, a cylindrical shape, a square shape or a rectangular shape.

The beneficial effects of the present disclosure include but not limited to: the discharge jet disclosed by the present disclosure overcomes the shortcoming that when there is an underearth obstacle with a relatively large resistance in hydraulic plank insertion, a conical pile-plank needs to be prefabricated ahead of time in the related art. By means of selection and matching of parameters such as sizes of the water jet holes, hole distances and diameter of the discharge jet, the acting force of the driving pile-plank is effectively increased. Particularly, by virtue of the water jet head which may be fixedly connected in site, site construction is more convenient, the transportation expenses of a special pile prefabricated out of the site are reduced and the construction time is saved. With the water jet holes distributed circumferentially at 360° on the water jet head, the underearth space can be expanded to push the obstacle to the earth outside the pile-plank, and the capability of the pile-plank to pass through the earth having the obstacle is greatly strengthened. When there are a special earth and a special condition in construction, a hydraulic vibration hammer is further arranged on top of the pile-plank, such that the pile driving speed is improved by combining with hydraulic vibration and hydraulic cutting. Therefore, the discharge jet and a method for driving the pile-plank into the earth by the discharge jet have the advantages of wide application range, high construction efficiency and low cost.
