Abstract
A hand-held hammer machine with handles (2) which via arms (13) are connected with an axle (5) rotatably arranged in a housing (1). The axle is provided with actuation means (6) which move one end of one or more springs (11) along a substantially circular arc shaped curve when the axle (5) is turned. The other end of the spring is supported by a cup- shaped support means (12). Turning of the axle (5) thus results in compression of spring (11) and at the same time a shortening of the moment arm (A) of the spring force so that the moment of the spring force about the axle (5) is substantially constant when feed force is applied against the handles (2).
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for hand-held hammer machines for damping of vibrations transferred to the handles of the machine.
- In a prior art device, see U.S.
patent 3 275 089, a torsion spring of rubber is used. This spring is vulcanized to the machine housing and to a handle means, which is pivotably journalled relative to the machine housing in the torsion spring. A disadvantage with this design is that a large part of those vibrations which the machine housing is exerted to during operation of the machine is transferred to the handles. This is explained thereby that the force transferred to the handles varies with the moment in the torsion spring, i.e. with the angular position of the handle means relative to the machine housing. - The object of the present invention is to considerably damp the vibrations transferred from the machine housing to the handles. This is achieved by at least one spring being arranged such relative to the handles and the machine housing that the spring is compressed when the handles are pressed down and at the same time the moment arm of the spring force relative to the axis of rotation of the handle means is shortened in such a way that the moment of the spring force about this axis of rotation is substantially constant over the major part of the range of movement of the handles.
- An embodiment is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which fig. 1 shows a combined drilling and breaking machine in which the invention is used. Fig. 2 shows a part of the machine from behind with certain parts removed to show the invention. Fig. 3 shows a corresponding view from above. Fig. 4 shows a perspective view from behind with the handles in one angular position. Fig. 5 shows a corresponding view with the handles in another angular position. Figs. 6 and 7 show schematically the operation of the invention. Fig. 8 shows how the force by which the handles are pressed down vary as a function of the downpressing of the handles.
- The machine shown in fig. 1 is a combined rock drilling and breaking machine which comprises a
machine housing 1. A combustion engine is mounted in the machine housing in the usual way. The combustion chamber of the engine is situated between an engine piston connected to a crank shaft and the hammer piston of the machine. Since the driving of the hammer piston is not essential to the present invention other means , e.g. compressed air, could be incorporated for the driving of the hammer piston instead of the combustion engine. The machine is at its lower end provided with a tool, e.g. adrill rod 3. The machine is furthermore provided with a handle means, incorporating twohandles 2, which is pivotally journalled in themachine housing 1. The machine is furthermore provided with afurther handle 7 for more precise sideways control of the machine for certain types of operation, e.g. stamping. These handles are preferably made of an elastic material, e.g. polyurethane, in order to obtain good damping of high frequency vibrations. - In figs. 2-5 the upper part of the
machine housing 1 is shown with certain parts removed to show a preferred embodiment of the invention. The upper part of themachine housing 1 comprises the crank housing 4 and atransverse axle 5 which is rotatably journalled in the machine housing. Theaxle 5 is by means ofarms 13 connected with thehandles 2. Theaxle 5 is furthermore provided with actuation means 6 in whichshort axles 8 are rotatably journalled. Thearms 13 and the actuation means 6 are connected with theaxle 5 by means ofpins 14 or in another suitable way. Twohelical springs 11 are supported at one end by cup- shaped support means 12 on themachine housing 1 and at the other end bynuts 10. If the machine is driven bycompressed air springs 11 could be replaced by air springs.Nuts 10 are by means of adjustment screws connected with theshort axles 8.Handles 2 are provided withpins 16 which cooperate withrecesses 15 in themachine housing 1 in order to restrict the range of movement of thehandles 2. - Figs. 6 and 7 show schematically the operation of the vibration damper. Fig. 6 shows the position of the actuation means 6 when the
handles 2 are not loaded. In fig. 7 the actuation means 6 is shown in the position it takes when thehandles 2 are near their lower limit position. In thisposition spring 11 has been compressed substantially so that the spring force has increased substantially. At the same time the moment arm A of the spring force relative to theaxis 5 has been shortened. This occurs in such a way that the moment of the spring force about theaxis 5 remains substantially constant over the major part of the range of movement of thehandles 2. This is shown in fig. 8 which shows how the feed force F applied against thehandles 2 varies with the downpressing d in a tested case. The substantially constant force F which is obtained after a certain downpressing of the handles 2 can be changed by means of theadjustment screws 9. When the machine works and feed force is applied via thehandles 2 themachine housing 1 can oscillate in the working direction of thetool 3 without these vibrations being transferred to any substantial degree to thehandles 2 and the machine operator.
