Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an impact hammer, particularly to the noise attenuation of a hydraulic hammer, so that the structure-borne noise is insulated in between the impact member and the side plates of the impact hammer.
- A hydraulic hammer is used for instance in breaking frozen earth's crust, or in tunnel extraction in areas where the earth is softer than the bedrock. The practical applications of the hydraulic hammer lead to the fact that while using the hammer, the created noise causes problems to the environment, and particularly to the users of the hammer. Therefore various solutions have been suggested for reducing noise. One of the suggested arrangements comprises vibration-restricting rubber bits in between the protective casing and the impact member, which bits are installed in longitudinal direction with respect to the axis of the impact member. The rubber bits are so shaped that one part thereof is attached to the protective casing and the other part to the impact member. Thus the rubber bits are subjected to relatively great shearing strengths during the impact stroke, and consequently the working age of such rubber bits cannot be very long.
- From the EP-A-144,282 there is known a hydraulic impact hammer where separate attenuation elements are used for eliminating noise during the use of the hammer. The attenuation elements are made of some elastic material. In order to install these attenuation elements, the protective casing of the hammer must be provided with special installation openings, or the impact member must be fitted within over-sized attenuation elements. Thus the installation of the attenuation elements is cumbersome and requires special tools. Moreover, while using the hammer, bending strains are directed to the protective casing, so that the bending also causes defective extra strain to the hammer housing.
- The EP patent 191,336 describes a hydraulic impact hammer where the noise caused by the use of the hammer is reduced by means of the installation arrangements of the working unit. A special feature of the hammer is that the employed attenuation elements are arranged transversally with respect to the axis of the impact member, around fastening bolts connecting the different parts of the protective casing. The employed attenuation elements are rubber collars, which, however, take up a lot of space and make the hammer rather large in size.
- The object of the present invention is to eliminate some of the drawbacks of the prior art and to create a hydraulic impact hammer which is more ecological, structurally more durable and easier on its assembly and advantageous in size, with reduced noise and vibration, so that the structure-borne noise caused by the hammer can in all essential respects be insulated within a closed casing formed by side plates, in between the impact hammer and the side plates. The essential novel features of the invention are apparent from the appended patent claims.
- This object is accomplished by the fact that the casing of the hydraulic impact hammer of the invention is formed of two separate side plates, which are metallically interconnected for instance by means of a screw, a bolt or a catch joint. An attenuation element is supported against each side plate, so that the bottom part of the housing of the impact hammer remains in between the attenuation elements when the plates are attached to each other. Then a metallic contact between the impact hammer and the side plates can be advantageously avoided, and the noise caused by the operation of the hammer is essentially reduced.
- Further the attenuation elements are located at the bottom part of the side plates, and their contact surfaces are shaped essentially to conform to the walls formed by the side plates of the hammer casing, so that when the side plates are connected to each other, the attenuation elements are wedged to remain compressed both in the longitudinal and the transversal direction of the impact hammer. Moreover, the bottom part of the housing of the hammer is pressed in the direction of the connecting members, with respect to the attenuation elements. Thus the impact hammer is easily supported at the bottom part of the housing, in three different directions at the attenuation elements, which means that strain is not directed to other parts of the hammer. At the same time it means, from the point of view of the operation of the hammer, that the vibration and noise of the hammer are essentially reduced.
- The attenuation elements of the impact hammer of the invention are advantageously made of some elastic material, such as cellular polyurethane or rubber or some rubber compound. Thus the attenuation elements can easily be made oversized, so that while fastening the side plates of the hammer casing to each other, they are precompressed 15 - 40%, advantageously 20 - 30% of that measure of the attenuation element which it had prior to the installation of the side plates. While using an impact hammer, the moment strains directed to the attenuation elements are greater than the precompression, in which case the attenuation elements may be subjected to strains that surpass the limit of elasticity of the material, which possibly cuts the working life of the attenuation elements. Therefore there can, when necessary, be arranged restricting members in connection with the attenuation elements, which restricting members are advantageously made of metal. These restricting members receive the charge when the predetermined maximum compression is surpassed. The maximum compression is 50 - 70% of the measure which the attenuation element had prior to the fastening. The restricting members can be advantageously located either inside the attenuation elements, or independent of the attenuation elements, outside thereof.
- In the impact hammer of the invention, an essentially good vibration and noise attenuation is achieved together with a light structure. The hammer also is easy to maintain, because the casing is formed of two parts, which are interconnected with simple connecting members. Moreover, the working life of the attenuation elements can be extended by using restricting members, which prevent the predetermined maximum compression of the attenuation elements from being surpassed. By means of the attenuation elements, the bottom part of the impact hammer is easily supported, which essentially prevents any extra charges against the housing of the hammer for instance when the casing is being bent.
- The invention is explained in more detail below, with reference to the appended drawing where
- figure 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the invention, seen in a partial side-view cross-section,
- figure 2 represents a partial side-view cross-section the embodiment of figure 1, when the embodiment of figure 1 is turned 90° around the vertical axis, and
- figure 3 illustrates the embodiment of figure 1, seen from the direction B-B.
- In the drawing the protective casing of the impact hammer is formed of two
side plates 1 and 2, which can be attached to each other by means of the screws 3. In addition to this, the housing of the impact hammer is indicated in figures 1 and 2 by thedotted line 4. At the bottom part of thehousing 4 of the hammer, in theside plates 1 and 2, there are provided theattenuation elements side plates 1 and 2 are so designed, that when theside plates 1 and 2 are being attached to each other, theattenuation elements housing 4, and in the transversal direction X and longitudinal direction Z. Thus the contact surfaces of theattenuation elements side plates 1 and 2. Figures 1 and 3 also describe metallic restrictingmembers 7 and 8, which prevent theattenuation elements
