Soil stabilizer

摘要

A device is capable of autonomously burrowing into the earth and, when at depth, discharging a fluid into a geologic formation. The device includes a component body holding a computer controller; a battery; a motor; and a coiled hose. A drill head external to the component body is equipped with a spiral blade that burrows down pulling the component body with it. A cylindrical shell surrounding the component body creates an annulus where debris from the drill head flows upward. The coiled hose is released from the component body as the device descends. An electrical cable may be co-wound with the coiled hose or may be embedded in the wall of the coiled hose. Fluid may be conveyed through the coiled hose to a discharge valve in the component body. The discharge valve is connected to a telescoping discharge nozzle.

主权项

1. A device for penetrating the earth while filling a hole behind it, the device usable for a purpose of discharging a fluid in a geologic formation, the device comprising:
a computer controller; a battery supplying power to the computer controller; a motor powered through the battery and controlled by the computer controller; a coiled hose adapted to hold the fluid, the coiled hose connected to a discharge valve controlled by the computer controller, the discharge valve connected to a telescoping discharge nozzle; a component body having an outer diameter, a top end and a bottom end, the component body defining an enclosed hollow internal structure adapted to contain: the coiled hose; the computer controller; the battery; and the motor; the component body further adapted to permit the coiled hose to be uncoiled out of the component body through the top end; a drill head comprising a conical shape rising from a pointed end, the drill head rotatably mounted to the motor through the bottom end of the component body, the drill head comprising a spiral blade on an outer peripheral surface of the conical shape, the spiral blade starting at the pointed end and rising toward the component body; and a cylindrical shell attached to the component body and having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the component body, the cylindrical shell extending from the bottom end of the component body to surround the component body, the cylindrical shell forming an annulus between an inner wall of the cylindrical shell and an outer wall of the component body, the annulus configured to receive debris from the spiral blade.
