Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hammering and drilling device which is operated by means of hydraulic fluid, in particular water under high pressure, and which has an outer, stationary part provided at the rear with a hydraulic fluid supply line and an inner, movable part carrying a hammering and drilling tool at the front end a main control valve for the hydraulic control of an oscillating movement of the movable part designed as a percussion piston and with a pilot spool controlled by the oscillating movement of the percussion piston for the hydraulic control of the main control valve, recoil nozzles or a linkage for the propulsion being arranged at the rear end of the stationary part.
  • Such a striking and drilling device is known from DE-PS 22 57 753.
  • the reciprocating movement of the pilot spool is carried out mechanically as a result of the oscillating movement of the percussion piston, while the control of the main control valve is carried out hydraulically by the pilot spool.
  • the pilot spool With every change of direction of the percussion piston there is an impact on the pilot spool, which reduces the usable force of the percussion piston.
  • the respective impact results in a particularly safe function of the pilot spool, since the oscillating movement takes place with great certainty even when the pressure fluid is dirty and the pilot spool is correspondingly difficult to operate.
  • control spool is therefore no longer displaced by a mechanical impact of the percussion piston on the pilot spool, but the displacement of the pilot spool is carried out on the basis of hydraulic forces. Because of the lack of impact, the full impact force of the percussion piston is available to the outside, so that the performance of the device according to the invention is significantly increased compared to the known device.
  • the device according to the invention makes use of known practices for cleaning pipes and ducts with the aid of an impact and drilling tool at the front end of the device, the effect of which can be supported by the escape of liquid under high pressure and its drive with the aid of a rod or with With the help of recoil nozzles at the rear end of the device.
  • the percussion piston, the pilot spool and the main control valve are nested essentially concentrically with one another in a manner known per se, and the percussion piston is designed as a differential piston.
  • the small piston area is continuously pressurized, while the larger piston area is alternately pressurized and vented.
  • the pilot spool is subjected to a similar, preliminary hydraulic effect, in which the resulting forces initially shift the pilot spool in one direction and the alternating pressurization and venting of an additional shoulder creates a temporary displacement of the pilot spool in the other direction.
  • the movements of the pilot spool cause the main control valve to oscillate between two end positions, the end positions each leading to the opening of one valve and the closing of another valve which are followed by hydraulic paths which result in pressurization or venting of the larger piston area of the differential piston.
  • the device according to the invention is provided with a device which, from the oscillating movement of the percussion piston, forces a known rotary movement of the piston about its longitudinal axis.
  • the resulting rotary movement takes place step-by-step, with supporting members being used under frictional engagement which slip when the rotary movement is impeded, so that damage to the device causing the rotary movement is virtually impossible.
  • a housing cover 1 with a hydraulic fluid supply line 2 or 2 ' is fastened, while on the other side the percussion piston 10 provided with a tool holder protrudes.
  • the majority of the pressure fluid passes through an opening 6 in the main control valve 7 and through one or more bores 8 in an insert 9 into the interior of the percussion piston 10, which opening is large as a blind bore, and via openings 11 into a cylinder space 12 which passes through the cylinder barrel 13 and is limited backwards by a seal 15 on the percussion piston 10; a further seal 14 mounted in the guide ring 54 prevents the pressure fluid from escaping at this point.
  • the space 12 is constantly pressurized by the liquid, so it is under high pressure.
  • a further part of the liquid under pressure is fed via channels 16 and 17 to a drilling tool 18 and 19, from which the liquid emerges at high speed for washing and cutting purposes.
  • pressures of 40-300 bar are used at a volume flow of approximately 100-500 liters per minute, with conventional sewer cleaning vehicles being used to generate these pressures and these flows.
  • the percussion piston has run over and opened a control bore 21 with a control edge 20 during an oscillating movement in the direction of arrow 22, a control edge 23 having closed a vent bore 24.
  • a pressure shoulder 25 is pressurized on the pilot spool 50, as a result of which the pilot spool 50 is shifted to the left (in the direction of arrow 22), because the forces acting on it to the left from the hydraulic loading of surfaces 25, 26 and 27 are greater overall than those after right-hand force from a piston surface 28.
  • the decisive pressure shoulder 25 is located within a control chamber 21 ', which, as shown, can be pressurized or vented.
  • the main control valve 7 is constantly acted upon by the pressure of the liquid with an end face 60, while a space 29 is continuously vented via vent holes 30, 31 and 32 and is therefore depressurized.
  • a space 33 is also constantly vented via bores 34, a space 35, a channel 36, an annular space 37 and openings 38 and is therefore depressurized.
  • a space 39 is constantly vented through the bores 31 and 32 and is therefore depressurized.
  • a control bore 40 is connected to the space 39, whereby a space 41 is depressurized, and the main control valve 7 is shifted so far to the left by the pressure on the surface 60 that valve surfaces 42 and 43 lie one on top of the other and the passage of the bottom Pressurized liquid from the opening 6 through a bore 44 into a cylinder space 45 is interrupted.
  • a passage is created between valve surfaces 46 and 47, and as a result the cylinder space 45 is connected to the environment via the channels 34 to 38 and is therefore depressurized.
  • the pilot spool 50 remains under the influence of the hydrau acting on it Lical forces on the surfaces 25, 27 and 28 and on the end face 60 of the main control valve 7 in its position until the control edge 20 of the percussion piston has passed over the control bore 21 and closed again, the vent bore 24 being run over by the control edge 23 and at the same time is opened.
  • the resulting relief of the pressure shoulder 25 and as a result of the pressure shoulder 26 already relieved in a cylinder space 45 now exceeds the hydraulic force acting on the pilot valve 50 on the surface 28 and the opposing forces on the surfaces 27 and 60, so that the pilot valve 50 follows moved to the right until it strikes the boundary of room 39.
  • a compression spring 61 holds the main control valve 7 in a position in which the valve surfaces 46 and 47 abut one another. This prevents valve displacement during transport, i.e. outside of the company. It ensures that the starting position is always ready for operation; the spring 61 has no function during operation.
  • the two exemplary embodiments do not differ from one another.
  • the insert 9 is guided and adjustable in length by means of a thread in the pilot valve 50, as a result of which the free cross section on the valve surfaces 42 and 43 can be set.
  • the two exemplary embodiments also have in common a device for forced rotation from the oscillating movement of the percussion piston 10, which is only shown in FIG. 1. It comprises two opposing members 55 and 56, the axis of rotation of which extends radially and which are rotatably mounted in the wall of the percussion piston 10.
  • a cantilever is arranged at its respective outer end, which projects in the circumferential direction from the central axis of the respective links 55 and 56.
  • an extension with a double wedge surface points once in the direction of the drilling tool 18 (link 55) and in the direction of the feed line 2 (link 56).
  • the double wedge surfaces dive into a keyway 58 and 59 and are each biased with the aid of a spring 57 so that they form a frictional engagement with the keyway 58 or 59 before reaching the end position of the percussion piston 10, that is to say a support point.
  • the further movement of the percussion piston 10 causes each link 55 or 56 to perform a rotary movement about the point of frictional engagement, so that the central axis of each link 55 or 56 performs a circular movement with respect to the point of frictional engagement.
