- this process consists in carrying out the feeding possible in pressurized fluid, of the control device, only during the piston rebound phase, at the start of the movement of the distributor and while the distributor still supplies the upper chamber in high pressure fluid.
- an apparatus for implementation of this process includes a subject control drawer at the opposing fluid pressures prevailing, respectively, in the upper chamber and in the upper chamber supply circuit in fluid under high pressure, this drawer opening a supply circuit for the pressure fluid control device, when the difference between the pressure in the upper chamber and the pressure in the supply circuit exceeds a predetermined value.
- control drawer is mounted in a cylinder delimiting with the drawer two opposite connected chambers, respectively, to the upper chamber and to the fluid supply channel under high pressure, and into which two connected channels open, respectively, to a source of pressurized fluid and to the piloting, these two channels being capable of being put in communication by a groove in the control drawer, in a certain axial position thereof.
- the source of pressurized fluid supplying the control device through the cylinder of the control drawer can be constituted by the high pressure supply circuit itself or, through the upper room.
- the cylinder of the control drawer can therefore be connected to one or the other of these two pressure sources.
- the supply duct of the pressure fluid control device passes through a drawer device, the movement of which is mechanically linked to movement of the dispenser, and which includes a groove which, according to the drawer position, allows or not the passage of pressurized fluid in direction of the striking piston stroke selector, belonging to the steering system.

- the drawer, associated with the dispenser can be either independent of the dispenser drawer, or be an integral part thereof.
- this device has a leak channel, in permanent communication or momentary with the supply circuit of the control device in pressurized fluid, intended to evacuate, at each cycle a quantity defined fluid, to bring the control device drawer back into the direction of reduction of the stroke of the impact piston, when this control device is no longer sufficiently supplied with fluid under pressure.
- the device shown in Figure 1, is a percussion device comprising a piston 1 sliding in a body 2, and coming to strike at each cycle a tool 3.
- a main distributor mounted in the body 2, including a drawer 4, allows to put the upper chamber 8 provided above of the piston, alternately in relation to the fluid supply high pressure 5, as shown in figure 1, or with the low circuit pressure 6, as shown in figure 2.
- the piston 1 forms with the body 2, a lower annular chamber 9, permanently supplied by channel 5, so that each position of the dispenser drawer, causes the strike stroke of piston 1, then the ascent stroke.
- the device comprises a drawer 15 comprising two opposite pilot chambers: on the one hand the chamber 20 connected by a channel 22 to the fluid supply channel 5 under high pressure and, on the other hand, the chamber 21 connected to the upper chamber 8.
- the apparatus also includes a second drawer 23 whose movement is mechanically linked to the movement of the drawer 4 of the main distributor and which includes a groove 24 making it possible to stop or let pass the fluid between a channel 16 coming from the first drawer 15 and a channel 18 ending in the control chamber of the travel selector drawer 13.
- the control circuit of the race selector 13 comprises a channel 14 connected to the high pressure fluid conduit 5, the slide 15, the channel 16, the drawer 23, and the channel 18 opening onto a section of the drawer stroke selector 13.
- drawer 15 is constantly kept in the low position by the supply pressure from the channel 5 and accumulator 7 via channel 22 and applying to the largest diameter of the drawer, while the section annular of this slide is connected to the low pressure circuit 6 by a channel 24.
- Channel 14, connected to supply channel 5, does not communicate not with channel 16.
- the control section of the race selector 13 is not supplied and this selector, thanks to the spring 19, remains in position low, connecting the control channel 12 of the distributor 4 with the channel 11 corresponding to the small strike stroke of the piston 1.
- Figure 3 shows the position of the moving parts when the ground, encountered by the tool, is hard.
- the striking piston 1 rebounds just after its impact on tool 3 and pushes the fluid back into the channel 17, while the main distributor 4 is still in the position in figure 1 and begins to move from the position of figure 1 to the position of figure 2.
- this differential pressure is sufficient to lift the drawer 15.
- the drawer 15 communication channel 14 and channel 16 via a groove 15a.
- the distributor 4 changes position, and the drawer 23, linked to this distributor, briefly connects the channel 16 to channel 18.
- This selector 13 then communicates the control channel 12 from main distributor 4 with channel 10 corresponding to the large piston stroke 1.
- the drawer 15 starts to move only when the flow snapshot goes from upper room 8 to channel 5, through the channel 17.
- the drawer 15 remains stationary.
- the channel 22 can be connected to channel 17, instead of channel 5.
- the movement of the drawer 15 is only sensitive to the pressure drop due to the instantaneous flow leaving the upper room 8.
- Figure 3 shows the position of the moving parts when, during the rebound of the piston, the slide 23, whose movement is linked to that of the distributor 4, allows the fluid to pass from the channel 16 to the channel 18 and the selector 13, at a chosen time, depending on the position relative of the groove 24 of this drawer and the outlet of the channels 16 and 18.
- This drawer 23 has a central channel 28 opening into a groove annular, making it possible to connect both channel 16, channel 18 and, at through a calibrated orifice, the low pressure circuit 6.
- the movements of the striking piston 1 and the distributor 4 remain constantly linked to each other. So at a position precise stroke of the piston 1, the distributor drawer and the drawer 23 will therefore be in a precise position.
- the right choice is to establish communication between channels 16 and 18, a few moments after the shock. Indeed, at the time of the shock of the piston on the tool, the drawer 15 tends to lift under the effect of the blow of ram due to the sudden stop of the striking piston, then goes down immediately, if the ground is tender, but remains raised a little longer if the ground is hard.
- the drawer 23 eliminates the influence of pressure variations in the upper chamber 8, not letting the fluid flow, towards the selector 13, only a little later, when the lifting of the drawer 15 actually corresponds to the presence of an installed flow rate of the upper chamber 8 towards channel 5, and therefore, a rebound of the piston on a hard ground.
- the calibrated orifice contained in the channel 28 evacuates to the low pressure circuit 6, all of the fluid from drawer 15 and channel 16.
- channel 18 does not receive more fluid, but on the contrary evacuates through the channel 28 the fluid contained in the pilot chamber of the drawer 13, allowing the maintenance in small stroke of the impact piston.
- FIG. 4 represents a variant of the invention according to which the distributor 4 and the drawer 23 form a single piece.
- channel 28 is deleted and replaced by channel 29 or a channel 30 comprising a calibrated orifice and connecting the channel 18 with the low circuit pressure 6.
- the drawer 13 is pushed up, so as to select the long stroke of the piston hit.
- FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which the drawer 15 is constituted by a valve, allowing energy recovery.
- this valve specially fitted out according to the invention, comprises a groove 15a making it possible to connect the channel 14, supplied in high pressure, with channel 16, when it is lifted.
- the piston 1 discharges the fluid contained in the upper chamber 8, directly through the passage 25, then channel 26 to the high pressure circuit 5, lifting the valve 15.
- the valve 15 remains raised as long as the pressure drop due to the flow between channels 25 and 26 is greater than the pressure value power multiplied by a constant depending on the sections of the valve.
- the supply pressure being kept constant moreover, the valve 15 therefore remains open from a planned discharge rate of the upper room 8.
- the throat of the valve connects the channel 14 with the channel 16. This allows, by the passage of fluid through the slide 23, to supply the channel 18 and therefore to control the race selector 13 so as to obtain a large stroke of the piston for hard ground.
- Figure 6 shows another embodiment of the invention, according to which the channel 14 is replaced by a channel 27 in communication with the upper chamber 8.
- the channel 27 is replaced by a channel 27 in communication with the upper chamber 8.
- the upper chamber is obviously under pressure.
- the fluid supply can therefore be taken from the upper room 8 instead of being taken as previously by the canal of arrival 5.
- the invention provides a improvement and simplification of the current state of the art in the area of automatic selection of strike stroke of these devices.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de régulation automatique de la course du piston de frappe d'un appareil à percussion mû par un fluide incompressible sous pression et un appareil pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.The subject of the present invention is a method of regulation automatic stroke of the impact piston of a percussion device driven by an incompressible fluid under pressure and an apparatus for setting implementing this process.
Les appareils à percussion mûs par un fluide incompressible sous pression sont alimentés en fluide, de telle manière que la résultante des forces hydrauliques s'appliquant successivement sur le piston de frappe, déplace celui-ci alternativement dans un sens puis dans l'autre.Percussion devices driven by an incompressible fluid under pressure are supplied with fluid, so that the resultant hydraulic forces applied successively on the piston of strike, move it alternately in one direction then in the other.
Dans les appareils de ce type, le piston se déplace alternativement à l'intérieur d'un alésage ou cylindre, dans lequel est ménagée, au-dessus du piston, une chambre qui, délimitée pour partie par celui-ci, est appelée de façon conventionnelle : chambre haute. Lorsque cette chambre est alimentée en fluide sous pression, la force hydraulique, qui y est créée, permet au piston de décrire sa course de frappe. A l'autre extrémité de l'alésage, dans lequel se déplace le piston, est ménagée une seconde chambre, également délimitée pour partie par le piston, appelée de façon conventionnelle : chambre basse. La force résultante de la pression de fluide dans la chambre basse assure le déplacement du piston pour sa course de retour.In devices of this type, the piston moves alternately inside a bore or cylinder, in which is provided, above the piston, a chamber which, delimited in part by this one, is conventionally called: upper room. When this chamber is supplied with pressurized fluid, the hydraulic force, which is created there, allows the piston to describe its stroke. To the other end of the bore, in which the piston moves, is provided a second chamber, also partly delimited by the piston, called conventionally: lower house. The resulting force of fluid pressure in the lower chamber ensures displacement of the piston for his return run.
La puissance globale d'un appareil est exprimée par le produit de la valeur de la fréquence de frappe et de la valeur de l'énergie par coup.The overall power of a device is expressed by the product the value of the strike frequency and the value of the energy by stroke.
Il est connu que, pour une puissance globale donnée, il est préférable de privilégier l'énergie par coup par rapport à la fréquence de frappe, lorsque l'outil de l'appareil rencontre un terrain dur, tandis qu'il est préférable de privilégier la fréquence de frappe par rapport à l'énergie par coup lorsque l'outil rencontre un terrain tendre.It is known that, for a given overall power, it is preferable to favor energy per shot over the frequency of strikes when the tool of the device encounters hard ground while it is preferable to favor the strike frequency over energy by blow when the tool meets soft ground.
L'énergie par coup est l'énergie cinétique donnée au piston, qui dépend de la course de frappe et de la pression d'alimentation.The energy per blow is the kinetic energy given to the piston, which depends on the stroke and the supply pressure.
Pour ajuster la fréquence de frappe et l'énergie par coup convenant à la dureté d'un terrain donné, deux solutions connues sont décrites par les brevets EP 0 214 064 et EP 0 256 955 au nom de la Demanderesse.To adjust the hitting frequency and energy per hit suitable for the hardness of a given terrain, two known solutions are described by patents EP 0 214 064 and EP 0 256 955 in the name of the Applicant.
Le brevet EP 0 214 064 décrit un appareil qui permet d'obtenir une adaptation automatique des paramètres de percussion, grâce à la présence dans le cylindre de l'appareil d'un canal alimenté en fluide selon la position du piston après l'impact et le rebond éventuel du piston sur l'outil.Patent EP 0 214 064 describes an apparatus which makes it possible to obtain automatic adjustment of the percussion parameters, thanks to the presence in the cylinder of the apparatus of a channel supplied with fluid according to the position of the piston after the impact and the possible rebound of the piston on the tool.
Le brevet EP 0 256 955 décrit un appareil qui permet d'obtenir le même résultat, en fonction des variantes de pression dans la chambre haute ou la chambre basse, consécutives à l'effet de rebond du piston sur l'outil, grâce à la présence d'un élément hydraulique sensible à ces variations.Patent EP 0 256 955 describes an apparatus which makes it possible to obtain the same result, depending on the pressure variations in the chamber upper or lower chamber, consecutive to the rebound effect of the piston on the tool, thanks to the presence of a hydraulic element sensitive to these variations.
Il s'agit, dans les deux cas, de systèmes performants bien adaptés à des appareils de forte puissance, mais qui sont très coûteux et nécessitent un nombre important de circuits, ce qui les rend peu compatibles pour des appareils de petite et de moyenne puissance, tels que ceux utilisés pour la perforation ou la démolition.In both cases, they are well performing systems suitable for high power devices, but which are very expensive and require a large number of circuits, which makes them few compatible for small and medium power devices such as than those used for perforation or demolition.
Le but de l'invention est de fournir un procédé et un appareil pour sa mise en oeuvre, permettant une adaptation automatique de la fréquence et de l'énergie par coup du piston d'un appareil à percussions, qui soit simple, fiable et compact, pour pouvoir équiper notamment des appareils de petite et moyenne puissance.The object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for its implementation, allowing an automatic adaptation of the frequency and energy per stroke of the piston of a percussion device, which is simple, reliable and compact, in order to be able to equip in particular small and medium power devices.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un procédé de régulation de la course de frappe d'un appareil à percussions, mû par un fluide incompressible sous pression, comprenant un piston se déplaçant à l'intérieur d'un cylindre et délimitant avec celui-ci une chambre haute et une chambre basse alimentées de façon séquentielle en fluide sous haute pression par action d'un distributeur relié à un dispositif de pilotage permettant de faire varier la course du piston de frappe, et comprenant un tiroir monté dans un cylindre sur l'une des faces duquel agit un ressort et dont l'autre face peut être soumise à une pression de fluide, ce tiroir comprenant une gorge reliée, d'une part, au distributeur et, d'autre part, et en fonction de la position axiale du tiroir, à l'un de plusieurs canaux débouchant dans le cylindre et susceptibles d'être mis en communication avec la chambre basse en fin du mouvement de déplacement du piston de frappe vers le haut, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste, lors de la phase de rebond du piston consécutive à l'impact, à déterminer l'existence éventuelle d'un débit instantané de fluide s'écoulant de la chambre haute vers le circuit d'alimentation en fluide sous haute pression, déterminé à partir de la pression différentielle entre ces deux circuits puis, si un tel débit est détecté, à alimenter en fluide sous pression le dispositif de pilotage pour déplacer le tiroir de celui-ci dans un sens d'allongement de la course du piston de frappe.To this end, the invention relates to a method for regulating the impact stroke of a percussion device, driven by a fluid incompressible under pressure, comprising a piston moving at the interior of a cylinder and delimiting with it an upper chamber and a lower chamber supplied sequentially with high fluid pressure by action of a distributor connected to a control device allowing the stroke of the striking piston to be varied, and comprising a drawer mounted in a cylinder on one side of which acts a spring and the other side of which can be subjected to fluid pressure, this drawer comprising a groove connected, on the one hand, to the distributor and, on the other hand, and depending on the axial position of the drawer, to one of several channels opening into the cylinder and capable of being connected with the lower chamber at the end of the displacement movement of the piston strikes upwards, characterized in that it consists, during the phase of piston rebound following impact, to determine existence possible instantaneous flow of fluid flowing from the upper chamber to the high pressure fluid supply circuit, determined at from the differential pressure between these two circuits then, if such flow is detected, to supply pressurized fluid to the control to move the drawer thereof in a direction of elongation of the stroke of the impact piston.
Il s'agit, en fait, d'agir sur le dispositif de pilotage en fonction du sens et de la mesure du débit instantané s'écoulant de la chambre haute au moment où la position du distributeur correspond à la phase de rebond du piston de frappe. Si, dans un sol mou, le rebond est peu important, la pression différentielle résultant du débit instantané s'écoulant de la chambre haute sera peu importante, et le dispositif de pilotage ne sera pas actionné, conservant au piston de frappe une course courte. Au contraire, si l'appareil travaille dans un terrain dur, l'énergie de rebond sera importante, et la perte de charge créée par le débit instantané de fluide s'écoulant hors de la chambre haute sera importante, créant une pression différentielle commandant l'alimentation en fluide sous pression du dispositif de pilotage, afin d'allonger la course du piston de frappe.It is, in fact, to act on the steering system in function the direction and measurement of the instantaneous flow flowing from the chamber high when the position of the distributor corresponds to the kickback piston rebound. If there is little rebound in soft soil important, the differential pressure resulting from the instantaneous flow flowing of the upper chamber will be unimportant, and the piloting device will not will not be actuated, keeping the strike piston a short stroke. At otherwise, if the device works in hard ground, the rebound energy will be significant, and the pressure drop created by the instantaneous flow of fluid flowing out of the upper chamber will be significant, creating pressure differential controlling the supply of pressurized fluid to the piloting device, in order to lengthen the stroke of the impact piston.
Avantageusement, ce procédé consiste à réaliser l'alimentation éventuelle en fluide sous pression, du dispositif de pilotage, uniquement pendant la phase de rebond du piston, au début du mouvement du distributeur et tandis que le distributeur alimente encore la chambre haute en fluide sous haute pression.Advantageously, this process consists in carrying out the feeding possible in pressurized fluid, of the control device, only during the piston rebound phase, at the start of the movement of the distributor and while the distributor still supplies the upper chamber in high pressure fluid.
Il est important de parfaitement maítriser le moment auquel le dispositif de pilotage doit être alimenté en fluide sous pression, afin de neutraliser l'information hydraulique résultant de l'arrêt brutal du piston lors de son choc sous l'outil.It is important to perfectly master the moment when the control device must be supplied with pressurized fluid, in order to neutralize the hydraulic information resulting from the sudden stop of the piston during its impact under the tool.
Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, un appareil pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé comporte un tiroir de commande soumis aux pressions antagonistes de fluide régnant, respectivement, dans la chambre haute et dans le circuit d'alimentation de la chambre haute en fluide sous haute pression, ce tiroir ouvrant un circuit d'alimentation du dispositif de pilotage en fluide sous pression, lorsque la différence entre la pression dans la chambre haute et la pression dans le circuit d'alimentation dépasse une valeur prédéterminée.According to a characteristic of the invention, an apparatus for implementation of this process includes a subject control drawer at the opposing fluid pressures prevailing, respectively, in the upper chamber and in the upper chamber supply circuit in fluid under high pressure, this drawer opening a supply circuit for the pressure fluid control device, when the difference between the pressure in the upper chamber and the pressure in the supply circuit exceeds a predetermined value.
Avantageusement, le tiroir de commande est monté dans un cylindre délimitant avec le tiroir deux chambres opposées reliées, respectivement, à la chambre haute et au canal d'alimentation en fluide sous haute pression, et dans lequel débouchent deux canaux reliés, respectivement, à une source de fluide sous pression et au dispositif de pilotage, ces deux canaux étant susceptibles d'être mis en communication par une gorge que comporte le tiroir de commande, dans une certaine position axiale de celui-ci.Advantageously, the control drawer is mounted in a cylinder delimiting with the drawer two opposite connected chambers, respectively, to the upper chamber and to the fluid supply channel under high pressure, and into which two connected channels open, respectively, to a source of pressurized fluid and to the piloting, these two channels being capable of being put in communication by a groove in the control drawer, in a certain axial position thereof.
La source de fluide sous pression réalisant l'alimentation du dispositif de pilotage à travers le cylindre du tiroir de commande, peut être constituée par le circuit d'alimentation sous haute pression lui-même ou, par la chambre haute. Le cylindre du tiroir de commande peut donc être relié à l'une ou à l'autre de ces deux sources de pression.The source of pressurized fluid supplying the control device through the cylinder of the control drawer, can be constituted by the high pressure supply circuit itself or, through the upper room. The cylinder of the control drawer can therefore be connected to one or the other of these two pressure sources.
Avantageusement, et afin de maítriser le moment auquel le fluide sous pression peut être fourni au dispositif de pilotage, en tenant compte du cycle de fonctionnement de l'appareil, le conduit d'alimentation du dispositif de pilotage en fluide sous pression passe à travers un dispositif à tiroir, dont le mouvement est lié mécaniquement au mouvement du distributeur, et qui comprend une gorge qui, suivant la position du tiroir, permet ou non le passage de fluide sous pression en direction du tiroir sélecteur de course du piston de frappe, appartenant au dispositif de pilotage.Advantageously, and in order to control the moment at which the pressurized fluid can be supplied to the control device, taking account of the operating cycle of the device, the supply duct of the pressure fluid control device passes through a drawer device, the movement of which is mechanically linked to movement of the dispenser, and which includes a groove which, according to the drawer position, allows or not the passage of pressurized fluid in direction of the striking piston stroke selector, belonging to the steering system.
De préférence, la gorge du tiroir, associée au distributeur, est positionnée de façon telle qu'elle ne permette le passage de fluide sous pression qu'au cours du début de la course du tiroir du distributeur, à un instant où le distributeur permet encore l'alimentation de la chambre haute en fluide sous haute pression.Preferably, the groove of the drawer, associated with the dispenser, is positioned so that it does not allow the passage of fluid under pressure that during the start of the dispenser drawer stroke, at a moment when the distributor still allows the supply of the upper chamber in high pressure fluid.
Le tiroir, associé au distributeur, peut être soit indépendant du tiroir du distributeur, soit faire partie intégrante de celui-ci.The drawer, associated with the dispenser, can be either independent of the dispenser drawer, or be an integral part thereof.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ce dispositif comporte un canal de fuite, en communication permanente ou momentanée avec le circuit d'alimentation du dispositif de pilotage en fluide sous pression, destiné à évacuer, à chaque cycle une quantité définie de fluide, pour ramener le tiroir du dispositif de pilotage dans le sens de la diminution de la course du piston de frappe, lorsque ce dispositif de pilotage n'est plus suffisamment alimenté en fluide sous pression.According to another characteristic of the invention, this device has a leak channel, in permanent communication or momentary with the supply circuit of the control device in pressurized fluid, intended to evacuate, at each cycle a quantity defined fluid, to bring the control device drawer back into the direction of reduction of the stroke of the impact piston, when this control device is no longer sufficiently supplied with fluid under pressure.

rebondit juste après son impact sur l'outil 3 et repousse le fluide dans le
canal 17, alors que le distributeur principal 4 est encore dans la position
de figure 1 et commence à passer de la position de figure 1 vers la
position de figure 2.Figure 3 shows the position of the moving parts
when the ground, encountered by the tool, is hard. The
Le débit instantané de fluide dans le canal 17, au moment du
rebond du piston, crée une perte de charge, et donc, établit une pression
différentielle entre la chambre haute 8 et le débouché du canal 22 dans le
canal d'alimentation 5.The instantaneous flow of fluid in
Au-delà d'un certain débit, cette pression différentielle est
suffisante pour soulever le tiroir 15. A ce moment, le tiroir 15 met en
communication le canal 14 et le canal 16 par l'intermédiaire d'une gorge
15a. Pendant cette mise en communication, le distributeur 4 change de
position, et le tiroir 23, lié à ce distributeur, relie de façon brève le canal
16 au canal 18. Le fluide passant successivement du canal 14 au canal
16, puis au canal 18, alimente la section de pilotage du sélecteur de
course 13, et permet de repousser ce sélecteur contre l'action du ressort
19. Ce sélecteur 13 met alors en communication le canal de pilotage 12
du distributeur principal 4 avec le canal 10 correspondant à la grande
course de frappe du piston 1.Beyond a certain flow, this differential pressure is
sufficient to lift the
Le tiroir 15 se met en mouvement uniquement lorsque le débit
instantané va de la chambre haute 8 vers le canal 5, par l'intermédiaire du
canal 17. Lorsque le débit dans le canal 17 est dans le sens du
remplissage de la chambre haute 8, le tiroir 15 reste immobile.The
Selon une autre variante de l'invention, le canal 22 peut, être
relié au canal 17, au lieu du canal 5. En effet, le mouvement du tiroir 15
n'est sensible qu'à la perte de charge due au débit instantané sortant de la
chambre haute 8.According to another variant of the invention, the
La figure 3 montre la position des pièces en mouvement
lorsque, pendant le rebond du piston, le tiroir 23, dont le mouvement est
lié à celui du distributeur 4, laisse passer le fluide du canal 16 vers le canal
18 et le sélecteur 13, à un moment choisi, en fonction de la position
relative de la gorge 24 de ce tiroir et du débouché des canaux 16 et 18.
Ce tiroir 23 comporte un canal central 28 débouchant dans une gorge
annulaire, permettant de relier à la fois le canal 16, le canal 18 et, à
travers un orifice calibré, le circuit basse pression 6. Pendant le
fonctionnement de l'appareil, les mouvements du piston de frappe 1 et du
distributeur 4 restent constamment liés l'un à l'autre. Ainsi, à une position
précise de la course du piston 1, le tiroir du distributeur et le tiroir 23
seront donc dans une position précise. Par le choix de la position de la
gorge 24 du tiroir 23, il est possible de prévoir précisément le laps de
temps du cycle de fonctionnement pendant lequel le passage de fluide
entre les canaux 16 et 18 sera autorisé.Figure 3 shows the position of the moving parts
when, during the rebound of the piston, the
Le bon choix est d'établir la communication entre les canaux 16
et 18, quelques instants après le choc. En effet, au moment du choc du
piston sur l'outil, le tiroir 15 a tendance à se soulever sous l'effet du coup
de bélier dû à l'arrêt brutal du piston de frappe, puis redescend aussitôt, si
le terrain est tendre, mais reste soulevé un peu plus longtemps si le terrain
est dur. Le tiroir 23 permet d'éliminer l'influence des variations de pression
dans la chambre haute 8, en ne laissant s'écouler le fluide, vers le
sélecteur 13, qu'un peu plus tard, au moment où le soulèvement du tiroir
15 correspond effectivement à la présence d'un débit installé de la
chambre haute 8 vers le canal 5, et donc, à un rebond du piston sur un
terrain dur. The right choice is to establish communication between
Lorsque le terrain n'est pas suffisamment dur pour justifier le
passage en grande course du piston de frappe, l'orifice calibré contenu
dans le canal 28 évacue vers le circuit basse pression 6, la totalité du
fluide provenant du tiroir 15 et du canal 16. Ainsi, le canal 18 ne reçoit
plus de fluide, mais au contraire évacue par le canal 28 le fluide contenu
dans la chambre de pilotage du tiroir 13, permettant le maintien en petite
course du piston de frappe.When the ground is not hard enough to justify the
passage of the impact piston in large stroke, the calibrated orifice contained
in the
La figure 4 représente une variante de l'invention selon laquelle
le distributeur 4 et le tiroir 23 ne forment qu'une seule pièce. Dans cette
variante, le canal 28 est supprimé et remplacé par un canal 29 ou un canal
30 comportant un orifice calibré et reliant le canal 18 avec le circuit basse
pression 6. Dans cette forme de réalisation, si la quantité de fluide injecté
par le canal 16 dans la chambre de pilotage du tiroir 13 est supérieure à la
quantité de fluide évacuée par le canal 29 ou 30, alors le tiroir 13 est
poussé vers le haut, de façon à sélectionner la grande course du piston de
frappe.FIG. 4 represents a variant of the invention according to which
the
La figure 5 représente une autre forme de réalisation de
l'invention, dans laquelle le tiroir 15 est constitué par un clapet, ou valve,
permettant la récupération d'énergie. Pendant la phase de rebond du
piston, ce clapet, spécialement aménagé selon l'invention, comprend une
gorge 15a permettant de mettre en relation le canal 14, alimenté en haute
pression, avec le canal 16, au moment de son soulèvement.Figure 5 shows another embodiment of
the invention, in which the
Sur un terrain dur, pendant sa phase de rebond, le piston 1
refoule le fluide contenu dans la chambre haute 8, directement à travers le
passage 25, puis le canal 26 vers le circuit haute pression 5, en soulevant
le clapet 15. Le clapet 15 reste soulevé tant que la perte de charge due au
débit entre les canaux 25 et 26 est supérieure à la valeur de la pression
d'alimentation multipliée par une constante dépendant des sections du
clapet. La pression d'alimentation étant maintenue constante par ailleurs,
le clapet 15 reste donc ouvert à partir d'un débit prévu d'évacuation de la
chambre haute 8.On hard ground, during its rebound phase, the
Pendant toute la durée du passage de fluide par ce clapet 15, la
gorge du clapet met en communication le canal 14 avec le canal 16. Ceci
permet, par le passage de fluide par le tiroir 23, d'alimenter le canal 18 et
donc de piloter le sélecteur de course 13 de façon à obtenir une grande
course de frappe du piston pour un terrain dur. Throughout the duration of the passage of fluid through this
La figure 6 représente une autre forme d'exécution de
l'invention, selon laquelle le canal 14 est remplacé par un canal 27 en
communication avec la chambre haute 8. Au moment où le débit dans le
canal 27 est en mesure de s'établir, la chambre haute est évidemment
sous pression. L'alimentation en fluide peut donc être prise dans la
chambre haute 8 au lieu d'être prise comme précédemment par le canal
d'arrivée 5.Figure 6 shows another embodiment of
the invention, according to which the
Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention apporte une amélioration et une simplication à l'état actuel de la technique dans le domaine de la sélection automatique de course de frappe de ces appareils.As is apparent from the above, the invention provides a improvement and simplification of the current state of the art in the area of automatic selection of strike stroke of these devices.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules
formes d'exécution de cet appareil, décrites ci-dessus à titre d'exemples ;
elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. C'est
ainsi notamment que le nombre de positions du tiroir sélecteur 13 pourrait
être supérieur à deux, sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de
l'invention.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited only to
embodiments of this apparatus, described above by way of examples;
on the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments. It is
thus in particular that the number of positions of the
