Definitions
- This invention relates to an air tool having a double acting valve.
- Conventional air tools generally comprise an outer casing or cylinder barrel with a reciprocating piston slidably mounted within it.
- the piston strikes an operating head or toolbit on each downstroke.
- toolbits can be used so that the tool can be used, for example, as a hammer, a pick or a scabbling tool.
- As the piston moves up and down in the bore it covers and uncovers various ports in the cylinder bore which connect the bore to a compressed air source and to the atmosphere for the exhaust.
- the piston is shaped and the ports are arranged such that when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke compressed air acts to force it upwards with the space above the piston being open to atmosphere. When the piston reaches the top of its stroke the situation is reversed and the compressed air acts to force the piston down to strike the toolbit with the space below the piston being open to atmosphere.
- an air tool comprising a casing having an internal bore and piston means slidably mounted for reciprocal movement therein and valve means for controlling a fluid supply for driving said piston, the valve means being movable between a first position in which a drive portion of said piston is in communication with said fluid supply and closed to fluid exhaust means, and a second position, in which said drive portion of said piston is closed to said fluid supply and in communication with said fluid exhaust means.
- said valve means is mounted for reciprocal movement in said casing.
- said fluid exhaust means is an opening in the piston, the opening being closed by virtue of the opening in the piston engaging the valve means during part of the range of reciprocal movement of the piston
- valve means has a first valve member operable in the first position and a second valve member operable in the second position, the first and second valve members being spaced apart on a valve stem.
- the first and second valve members on the valve stem are adjustable so that the range of reciprocal movement of the piston may be varied.
- second fluid supply means are provided or said tool for supplying fluid for driving said piston in a reverse direction.
- said second fluid supply means comprises an inlet in the casing of said tool which supplies fluid to the bore of said tool to act on a drive flange of said piston.
- an air tool comprises a cylinder liner in the form of a casing I having an internal bore la in which a piston 2 is fitted for reciprocal movement.
- a valve assembly 3 is mounted on the upper end of the casing 1 and a top plate 4 having a high pressure fluid supply inlet 5 is mounted on the upper end of the valve assembly 3.
- the valve assembly 3 comprises an outer body 6 having an internal bore 7 which communicates with the internal bore la of the casing 1 via an inlet port 8 and is sealably connected to the supply inlet 5 by a nylon washer 9.
- a control valve 10 is mounted in the valve assembly 3 and comprises a valve stem 11 which extends through the inlet port 8, having an upper nylon valve member 12 and and a lower nylon valve member 13.
- the piston 2 has a flange 2a at its upper end which forms an upper drive face 2b and a lower annular drive face 2c.
- a fluid exhaust passage 14 extends through the piston 2.
- a subsidiary high pressure fluid inlet 15 is provided in the casing 1 to allow high pressure fluid to communicate with the bore la and drive face 2c.
- a compressed air supply is connected to both the supply inlet 5 and the subsidiary inlet 15.
- the piston 2 is shown near to the top of its stroke. In this position, compressed air enters the bore la through the inlet 15 to produce an upward force on the drive face 2c.
- the piston 2 is engaged with the control valve 10 such that the lower valve member 13 closes the exhaust passage 14 and the upper valve member 12 opens the inlet port 8 so that compressed air from the inlet 5 enters the bore la.
- This compressed air produces a force on the drive face 2b of the piston 2 greater than that on the drive face 2c by virtue of the larger area of the face 2b. There is thus a net downward force acting on the piston 2 so that it moves downwardly in the bore la.
- the piston 2 is shown at a mid-point of its stroke. As the piston 2 moves downwardly it allows the upper valve member 12 of the control valve 10 to close the inlet port 8 under the influence of the compressed air supply.
- the momentum of the piston is such that it continues downwardly to disengage from the lower valve member 13 and open the exhaust passage.14, as shown in Fig. 3. This allows the compressed air held in the bore la above the piston 2 to dissipate.
- the compressed air from inlet 15 acting on drive face 2c thus produces a net upward force on the piston 2 causing it to move upwardly in the bore la.
- the compressed air supply can thus enter the bore la to act on the drive force 2b of the piston once again. This force causes the piston to slow down as it reaches the top of its stroke and then causes it to begin its downward stroke again so that the cycle is repeated.
- control valve 10 ensures that only the minimum amount of compressed air is exhausted during each cycle thus ensuring an economical level of air consumption.
- the reciprocal movement of the piston 2 may be used to drive any type of conventional toolbit apparatus as required.
- the distance between the upper valve member 12 and lower valve member 13 on the control valve 10 may be adjusted thus altering the effective stroke, and hence the power, of the tool.
