Definitions
- PERCUSSION DEVICE FOR A ROCK DRILLING MACHINE METHOD FOR ACHIEVING A RECIPROCATING PERCUSSION PISTON MOVEMENT AND ROCK DRILLING MACHINE
- the invention concerns a percussion device for a rock drilling machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for achieving a reciprocating percussion piston movement according to the preamble of claim 10.
- the invention also concerns a rock drilling machine including such a percussion device.
- a percussion device of this kind includes a percussion piston, which is reciprocatingly movable inside a machine housing.
- the reciprocating movement of the percussion piston is controlled by a valve device, wherein the valve element is movable to and fro in the machine housing.
- the machine housing At its rear end, the machine housing has a space which is supplied with pressure fluid and thus drives the percussion piston in the forward direction.
- a second chamber that can be pressurized is arranged for back-driving the percussion piston.
- the known percussion device functions well and aims to obtain percussive frequencies in the magnitude of 150 Hz.
- Recently raised desires of higher work rate and better economy in rock drilling have, however, resulted in the desire for yet higher percussive frequencies.
- a driving piston having a driving area for actuation by pressure fluid in the second chamber, that can be made as great as desired, and in particular greater than a corresponding actuating surface on the percussion piston itself, the possibility is provided for increased back-driving speed and thereby increased percussion frequency.
- the driving piston being separate, which in this connection means free for axial movement with respect of the percussion piston after that the percussion piston has performed its impact on a drill shank, it is avoided that an unfavourably shaped stress wave is produced in the drilling steel.
- a stress wave peak is formed, which could be operationally unfavourable since it would bring along undesired strain peaks in the drilling steel.
- the percussion piston can therefore according to the invention be constructed optimally for performing the impact itself, whereas the back-driving aspects are considered when constructing the driving piston.
- a further advantage is that the pressure in the second chamber can be chosen lower and that the percussion device still can have an essentially higher percussive frequency than a percussion device according to the background art.
- the driving piston includes a cushioning portion for co-operation with a cushioning chamber in the housing after performed impact of the percussion piston in order to obtain gentle cushioning of the driving piston after that the driving piston has ceased its co-operation with the percussion piston.
- said cushioning chamber is connected to a pressure medium source for regaining energy emitted during cushioning by the increased pressure in the cushioning chamber being transmitted to said pressure medium source.
- the first chamber is arranged to be pressurized to a permanent pressure.
- the second chamber is periodically pressurized through the valve device.
- Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows a percussion device according to the invention with the percussion piston in a first position
- Fig. 2 shows the percussion device in Fig. 1 with the percussion piston in a second position
- Fig. 3 diagrammatically illustrates a method according to the invention by means of a block diagram.
- a percussion piston 1 shown in Fig. 1 includes, inside a housing 2, a reciprocatingly movable percussion piston 3 which with a rear pressure surface 6 is actuated by the pressure of pressurized fluid in a first chamber 5 in a forward direction of the percussion piston 3 for acceleration before performing an impact against a tool (not shown) .
- the percussion piston 3 is surrounded by a driving piston 7, which with a driving surface including a first driving area 9 and a second driving area 10 is actuated by the pressure of a pressurized fluid in a second chamber 8 for back-driving the percussion piston 3 after a performed impact.
- the driving piston 7 has a ring-shaped engagement surface 13, which in a back-driving position co-operates with an actuating surface 14 on the percussion piston 3 for displacing the percussion piston 3 in backward direction, to the right as seen in Fig. 1.
- the driving piston 7 includes a cushioning portion 11, which in an advanced position of the driving piston 7 enters a cushioning chamber 12 in such a way that fluid that is enclosed inside this cushioning chamber 2 exerts a cushioning force on the second driving area 10 of the driving piston 7.
- the first chamber 5 can be permanently pressurized, whereas the second chamber 8 can be periodically pressurized over the main valve 4' of the percussion device 1 in such a way that is per se previously known, whereby the valve element of the main valve 4' is controlled by the position of the percussion piston 3, which over a valve portion V on the percussion piston controls the valve element of the main valve 4' for pressurising and evacuating, respectively, of the second chamber 8.
- Fig. 2 shows the percussion device 1 with the percussion piston 3 in a second position immediately after having performed an impact against a tool (not shown) . In the position shown in Fig. 2, the driving piston 7 has been displaced so far in the percussion direction that its engagement surface 13 has left the contact with the actuating surface 14 of the percussion piston 3.
- the driving piston 7 has thus no axial contact with the percussion piston 3 in this position. With its cushioning portion 11 the driving piston 7 now enters the cushioning chamber 12, whereby its kinetic energy is being regained by the increased pressure of fluid being present in the cushioning chamber 2 being supplied to a pressure source over a regain channel 15 and auxiliary valve 4' ' .
- a disadvantageous stress wave configuration is avoided which otherwise would occur with a correspondingly added form to a percussion piston.
- Fig. 3 The method according to the invention for achieving a reciprocating percussion piston movement is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 3 as a block sequence.
- Position 20 indicates the start of the sequence.
- Position 21 indicates pressurising the first chamber 5 for the forward driving of percussion piston 3. This can be performed by essentially direct connection to a system pressure. (Mode 1) .
- Position 22 indicates evacuating pressure fluid in the second chamber 8 and thereby initiating a percussion movement of the percussion piston 3.
- Position 23 indicated performing the percussion movement.
- the driving piston 7 now follows the percussion piston 3 in the forward direction until the impact has been completed. Thereafter the driving piston 7 moves axially freely with respect of the percussion piston 3 in the percussion direction.
- Position 24 indicates the entering of the driving piston 7 with a cushioning portion 11 into a cushioning chamber 12 for cushioning its axial movement and possibly also for regaining the kinetic energy of the driving piston 7.
- Position 25 indicates the stop of the sequence. In a modified sequence it is provided that a connection to the first chamber can be blocked. This way is ensured a considerable pressure increase in the first chamber during the back-driving of the percussion piston. This pressure increase is as an example in the magnitude 3 times the system pressure. It is thus to be understood that other increase rates can exist .
- the invention can be modified within the scope of the following claims.
- the driving piston as well as the percussion piston can be constructed otherwise with differently formed mutual means for achieving back-driving connection.
- a specific thinned cushioning portion is missing.
- the driving piston can thus have unchanged section along its axial extension. It is also possible to have the driving piston constructed otherwise than as a sleeve. It can also be possible to have a plurality of driving pistons with suitable design distributed around the percussion piston.
- the invention makes it possible to provide percussion devices with slender percussion pistons that are well shaped for their impact operation and still have powerful means for effective and fast back-driving of the percussion piston, whereby the aim of higher percussive frequency can be reached with relatively simple and cost efficient measures. It is not necessary for the invention that the kinetic energy of the driving piston is regained in the manner that is described above even if this is preferred, i.a. because it contributes to better operating economy. The energy loss occurring because the mass of the driving piston is not contributing to the impact energy at impact, can because of this aspect be regained by supplying the increased pressure in the cushioning chamber directly to the pressure system.
- valve 4'' I Figs. 1 and 2 receives in the shown embodiment a signal from the valve V to open in order to free the connection between the cushioning chamber 12 and the system.
- Other arrangements for obtaining the movement of the driving piston can also come into question.
- the valve arrangement for controlling the reciprocating movement can be constructed otherwise, for example by initiating a valve movement in any other way than through a valve portion V on the percussion piston.
