With reference to Fig. 4 and accompanying drawing subsequently, embodiment 200 comprises ground engagement blade-section 41 and substrate 60.
Blade-section 41 comprises a plurality of blades 42 that are designed to squeeze in the ground.In embodiment 40, four blades 42 are arranged, but the embodiment of replacing can have two, three, five, six or multiple-blade more.Blade has the distortion of reinforcing (reinforcement deformation) close to its vertical outer edge.In embodiment 200, reinforce distortion and comprise crooked outward flange 110.In some other embodiment, such as in embodiment 40 ', 104 and 106, reinforce distortion and be represented as gut threads (reinforcement line), these gut threads are stamped (stamp) or additionally brand and are the line 46,47 in the blade.The recessed portion 47 that every gut threads has the bossing 46 on the side that is positioned at blade and is positioned at the correspondence on the opposite side of blade.
Reinforcing distortion when comprising crooked outward flange 110, blade can near its longitudinally outer edge be bent.On the top of blade, can be any suitable distance apart from the edge of blade and the distance 111 of bending line.In order to minimize the needs to additional materials, 2.5mm may be suitable to the distance between the 10mm, and may be preferred close to the distance of 5mm.In a lot of embodiments, blade is tapered down to most advanced and sophisticated 48 from the top of blade.This may so that close to the tip time folding blade be difficult.More close to vane tip 48, fold line is just more close to blade edge.Crooked outward flange 110 is the whole length of penetrating blade not, but in most advanced and sophisticated similar 5% to 35% point 201 places end of distance blade, as shown in Figure 4.In embodiment 200, crooked outward flange 110 ends at approximately 10% to 20% place that reaches length of blade L apart from vane tip 43, and reaches especially approximately 15% place of length of blade L apart from tip 43.
The bending of marginal portion 110 can be any suitable angle 164, such as 45 the degree to 120 the degree, or preferably 80 the degree to 100 the degree between, and be most preferably about 90 the degree.Also can be suitable for improving the intensity of blade with the twisting resistance in the opposing use less than the angle of 45 degree or greater than 120 other angles of spending.
Blade-section 41 can be made by two sheet metals, and each sheet metal is all by Figure 14 for example, 17 or cutting shown in Figure 6.The bending of blade edge or gut threads 46,47 the punching press on the blade 42 can be before the cut-off blade material, occur afterwards or simultaneously.This material subsequently by along fold line 43 with vertical in fact angular bend, to form two blade 42A and 42B.Repeat this step for second blade material, second blade material is folded to form two blade 42C and 42D along fold line 44.Two blade materials can be welded together along joint 45 subsequently.Can in 2,3,4 of joint 45 or more discrete portions, implement welding, or can implement welding along whole joint.
Welding can comprise spot welding.In some embodiments, the welding (regular weld) that enforces a rule in the top of joint 45 and bottom, and implementing spot welding along 1,2,3,4,5 of joint 45 or more position.
As shown in Figure 12, a plurality of holes 120 can be cut along fold line 43 in blade material, to promote welding process.In this case, the welding that can in each hole, enforce a rule.Figure 12 has showed 4 holes, but according to the present invention, 2,3,5 or more hole can be set also.
For promoting this welding process, can be along fold line 43 and the discrete hole of 44 cuttings.Hole that should be discrete can with will conform to by soldered each several part so that can be from the one-sided execution welding of blade.
If the outward flange of blade is owing to the punching press of gut threads is bent, then the edge of blade can be straightend, such as straighteing mechanically.This can occur before or after the bending of blade material.
In the embodiment of replacing, can be by along joint 45 single blade part being welded together to construct blade-section, and do not need to fold.
Substrate 60 is preferably formed by an integral piece of metal.Substrate 60 can comprise for the hole 203 that device is fixed to ground spike.Any article that expectation is fixed to ground can be fixed to substrate.For example, wire netting can be bolted to substrate, and this can be by means of finishing for the pin junction (foot joint) that post is fixed to plate 60.Other article such as illuminating lamp, sprinkling system, lawn ornament, wait article, also can be fixed to substrate 60.The size of substrate 60 can change significantly according to the purposes of expectation.Hole 203 also can have different shapes, if having away from the center of the ground spike ability of positioning object laterally such as expectation, then be ellipse.Blade also can change about the rotation location of substrate, shown in reference Fig. 8 to Figure 11 and embodiment 200 and 208.
Substrate can be reinforced by reinforcing distortion.This reinforcing distortion can comprise that crooked outward flange 206 maybe can comprise gut threads 62.
In some embodiments, in embodiment 40, substrate is fixed to each side of jack part 50.Such as Figure 15 and shown in Figure 19, socket substrate 60 has four major opposing sides 65, and major opposing side 65 has defined and taken the inside of jack part 50 as the square of general size.Each turning in foursquare four turnings can be cut.Socket substrate 60 has three measure-alike turnings that are removed 66, and a larger turning that is removed 68, with corresponding with the turning that is positioned at of clamping projection 56 in the embodiment 40.Socket substrate 60 can have centre bore 64.In use, centre bore 64 and the turning 66 that cuts can help the discharge of water or liquid, and in process of production, can help powder coating or smear.Crooked edge 206 can help the reinforcing of plate 60, particularly opposing twisting resistance when the ground railway spike is in use.
Gut threads 62 can be stamped in the socket substrate 60, in order to gain in strength and rigidity, this can increase substrate 60 for the resistance of twisting resistance.
With reference to Figure 13, have four blades at blade-section 41, when being made by two sheet metals, it no longer is 90 degree that angle 160 and angle 162 can become.When two blades are made by integral piece of metal, shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, and when crooked toward each other at two edges 110, arrange four blades will cause inhomogeneous earth displacement/work area in the mode that is 90 degrees to each other.For example, be 90 when spending in angle 160 and angle 162, the distance 166 that can exert pressure to ground on every side will be less than distance 168, and will be significantly smaller than distance 170.Distance 166 forms the shortest area of coverage distance (footprint distance) of ground spike.External force is pressed in the direction on the ground spike during according to the load that bears at ground spike in the ground, the area of coverage distance that possible expectation maximization is the shortest, and this realizes such as making distance 166 equal approx distance 168.This can finish by angle changing 160 and 162 as required.For example, can cause distance 166 to equal approx distance 168 for 160 for the angle of about 95 degree and for 162 angles that produce for about 85 degree.
Embodiment 40 comprises that further post receives jack part 50.Post supports jack part 50 and comprises four sidewalls 51 that are perpendicular to one another in fact and arrange.Gut threads 55 can be stamped or otherwise marked in each sidewall 51.Gut threads 55 can be concentrated on the bottom part of jack part 50, or can further extend upward along sidewall 51.Article one,, two, three or more gut threads 55 can be applied to each sidewall 51.
