Abstract

The hammer drill has an impact tool with impact frequency linked to the motor RPM. The linkage is via pressure medium-actuated means without a mechanical coupling between the torque motor (10) and impact tool (11). A return line from a first valve (39) contains a throttle (42), and the pressure upstream of the throttle is switched as regulating pressure to a pilot-controlled third valve (47). The third valve is located in one of two lines (32, 33) to the impact tool valve (17), to block the lines, when the pressure upstream of the throttle falls to below set minimum level.

Description

Ein Bohrhammer gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus der US-A-5 415 240 bekannt. Das Drehwerk dieses Hammers wird durch einen Drehmotor angetrieben. Das Schlagwerk wird von einem Drehventil gesteuert, das über eine Getriebeverbindung vom Drehmotor angetrieben ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Schlagfrequenz proportional zur Drehzahl des Drehmotors ist und dass das Schlagwerk automatisch stoppt, wenn der Bohrstahl steckenbleibt. Dadurch kann erheblich Zeit und Bohrausrüstung eingespart werden. Dieser Bohrhammer hat sich deshalb sehr bewährt. Er hat allerdings eine etwas aufwendige Bauweise.A hammer drill according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the US-A-5 415 240 is known. The turning mechanism of this hammer is made by driven a rotary motor. The striking mechanism is operated by a rotary valve controlled via a gear connection from the rotary motor is driven. This has the advantage that the beat frequency is proportional to the speed of the rotary motor and that that Hammer mechanism stops automatically if the drill steel gets stuck. This can save a lot of time and drilling equipment. This hammer drill has therefore proven itself very well. However, he did a somewhat complex construction.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bohrhammer der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass er einfacher aufgebaut ist unter Beibehaltung der Vorteile des oben erwähnten Bohrhammers. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The present invention has for its object a To further develop hammer drills of the type mentioned at the outset, that it’s simpler while keeping the benefits of the above-mentioned hammer drill. This task is accomplished by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved.

Nachfolgend werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Darin zeigt:

  • Figur 1 ein Hydraulikschema einer ersten Ausführungsform, und Figuren 2 und 3 zwei weitere Ausführungsformen.
    • Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 shows a hydraulic diagram of a first embodiment, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show two further embodiments.

    • Figur 1 zeigt ein Hydraulikschema für einen Bohrhammer 9. Der Bohrhammer 9 hat ein nicht dargestelltes Gehäuse, in welchem ein Adapter hin- und herbeweglich und rotierbar gelagert ist. An ihrem vorderen Ende hat der Adapter z.B. ein Aussengewinde zum An-schliessen des Bohrstahls. Der Adapter ist über eine Getriebeverbindung mit einem Drehmotor 10 verbunden. Soweit entspricht der Hammer der Darstellung nach Figur 1 der US-PS-5 415 240, die zum integrierenden Bestandteil dieser Anmeldung erklärt wird.Figure 1 shows a hydraulic diagram for a hammer drill 9. Der Hammer drill 9 has a housing, not shown, in which a Adapter is reciprocally and rotatably mounted. On hers the adapter has a front end e.g. an external thread for connection of the drilling steel. The adapter is via a gear connection connected to a rotary motor 10. As far as corresponds the hammer of the representation of Figure 1 of US-PS-5 415 240, the is declared an integral part of this application.

    Koaxial zum Adapter ist ein Schlagwerk 11 mit einem in einem Zylinder 12 geführten Kolben 13 und einer Kolbenstange 14 angeordnet. Im Betrieb schlägt die Stirnfläche der Stange 14 gegen das hintere Ende des Adapters. Die stangenseitige Kolbenfläche 15 ist konstant mit dem Speisedruck beaufschlagt. Die gegenüberliegende Fläche 16 wird über ein Schlagwerkventil 17 abwechselnd mit Speisedruck aus der Speiseleitung 18 und mit dem Rücklaufdruck in der Rücklaufleitung 19 verbunden. Über Pilotleitungen 20, 21, die in den Zylinderraum benachbart jeweils einer Endstellung des Kolbens 13 münden, wird der Ventilschieber des Ventils 17 abwechselnd in die beiden Schaltstellungen getrieben. An die Speiseleitung 18 und die Rückleitung 19 ist je ein Druckspeicher 22, 23 angeschlossen. Diese ermöglichen eine hohe Kapazität des Schlagwerks 11.A striking mechanism 11 with a cylinder is coaxial with the adapter 12 guided pistons 13 and a piston rod 14 are arranged. In operation, the end face of the rod 14 strikes against the rear end of the adapter. The piston surface 15 on the rod side the supply pressure is constantly applied. The opposite Surface 16 is alternated via a hammer mechanism valve 17 with feed pressure from the feed line 18 and with the return pressure connected in the return line 19. Via pilot lines 20, 21, each in the cylinder space adjacent to an end position of the piston 13 open, the valve spool of the valve 17 driven alternately in the two switch positions. On the feed line 18 and the return line 19 are each a pressure accumulator 22, 23 connected. These enable a high capacity the striking mechanism 11.

    Der Hammer 9 ist über vier Druckleitungen 30 bis 33 mit einem Steuerstand 34 verbunden. Der Steuerstand 34 hat separate Anschlüsse 35, 36 für den einstellbaren Speisedruck zum Drehmotor 10 und zum Schlagwerk 11. Der Rücklauf von Drehwerk und Schlagwerk kann entweder einen gemeinsamen oder zwei separate Anschlüsse 37, 38 haben.The hammer 9 is connected to one via four pressure lines 30 to 33 Control station 34 connected. The control station 34 has separate connections 35, 36 for the adjustable feed pressure to the rotary motor 10 and to the striking mechanism 11. The return of the slewing gear and striking mechanism can be either a common or two separate connectors 37, 38 have.

    Der Drehmotor 10 wird über ein Dreistellungs-Vierwegeventil 39 gesteuert, so dass der Motor 10 in beiden Drehrichtungen drehen kann. Die eine Drehrichtung dient zum Bohren, die andere zum Losschrauben des Bohrgestänges. In den meisten Ländern wird linksdrehend gebohrt, so dass beim Bohren die Leitung 30 mit Druck beaufschlagt ist. In die Leitungen 30, 31 ist je eine einstellbare Drossel 40 eingebaut sowie ein dazu parallel geschaltetes Rückschlagventil 41, das in Rücklaufrichtung öffnet. Mit den Drosseln 40 lässt sich die Durchflussmenge für die beiden Drehrichtungen separat einstellen. Im Rücklauf vom Ventil 39 zum Anschluss 37 ist eine weitere, einstellbare Drossel 42 eingesetzt.The rotary motor 10 is operated via a three-position four-way valve 39 controlled so that the motor 10 rotate in both directions of rotation can. One direction of rotation is used for drilling, the other for Unscrew the drill pipe. In most countries drilled counterclockwise so that when drilling the line 30 with Pressure is applied. In the lines 30, 31 is adjustable Throttle 40 installed and a parallel to it Check valve 41, which opens in the return direction. With The flow rate for the two can be set in the restrictors 40 Set directions of rotation separately. In the return from valve 39 to Another adjustable throttle 42 is used in connection 37.

    Der Speisedruck zum Schlagwerk 11 wird über ein manuell bedientes Zweistellungs-Ventil 46 gesteuert. In Serie zu diesem Ventil 46 ist ein pilotgestellgesteuertes Zweiweg-Ventil 47 sowie parallel dazu ein handgesteuertes Zweiweg-Ventil 48 geschaltet. Das Ventil 47 kann entweder ein Schaltventil (Auf-Zu-Ventil) oder, wie dargestellt, ein Propotionalventil sein. Der Pilotdruck zum Ventil 47 ist der Rücklaufdruck des Drehwerks zwischen dem Ventil 39 und der Drossel 42.The feed pressure to the striking mechanism 11 is operated manually Two-position valve 46 controlled. In series with this valve 46 is a pilot-controlled two-way valve 47 and in parallel for this purpose, a manually controlled two-way valve 48 is switched. The Valve 47 can either be a switching valve (open-close valve) or, as shown, be a experimental valve. The pilot print for Valve 47 is the return pressure of the slewing gear between the valve 39 and the throttle 42.

    Im Betrieb arbeitet der beschriebene Bohrhammer 9 wie folgt: Im Normalbetrieb ist der Schieber des Ventils 39 in der unteren Stellung, so dass der Speisedruck an der Drossel 40 in der Leitung 30 ansteht und die Leitung 31 an den Rücklauf 37 angeschlossen ist. Das Ventil 46 ist eingeschaltet. Bei laufendem Motor 10 ergibt sich ein Staudruck vor der Drossel 42, so dass auch das Ventil 47 eingeschaltet ist und das Schlagwerk 11 läuft. Falls nun das Bohrgestänge im Gestein festsitzen sollte, stoppt der Motor 10. Damit fällt sofort auch der Pilotdruck zum Ventil 47 ab, so dass dieses ausschaltet und das Schlagwerk 11 stoppt. Um das Bohrgestänge zu lösen, wird der Bohrhammer auf seiner Lafette zurückgezogen. Das Ventil 39 wird ausgeschaltet. Falls erforderlich kann das Schlagwerk durch Zuschalten des Ventils 48 trotz stehendem Motor 10 eingeschaltet werden, damit der Hammer vibriert. Wenn das oft aus mehreren Stangen muffenverschraubte Bohrgestänge demontiert werden soll, wird zunächst die hinterste Bohrstange aus dem Bohrloch ausgefahren und das Bohrgestänge an der Muffe zur zweithintersten Bohrstange mit einer Klemmvorrichtung geklemmt. Nun wird das Ventil 39 in seine obere Stellung geschaltet, so dass ein Drehmoment am Adapter im lösenden Sinne ansteht. Sollte die Gewindeverbindung festsitzen, kann wiederum durch Einschalten der Ventile 46, 48 das Schlagwerk 11 eingeschaltet und die Gewindeverbindung losvibriert werden.In operation, the hammer drill 9 described works as follows: Im Normal operation is the slide of the valve 39 in the lower one Position so that the feed pressure at the throttle 40 in the line 30 is pending and the line 31 connected to the return 37 is. The valve 46 is switched on. While running Engine 10 results in a dynamic pressure upstream of throttle 42, so that the valve 47 is also switched on and the striking mechanism 11 running. If the drill pipe should get stuck in the rock, The engine 10 stops. The pilot pressure also drops immediately Valve 47 off, so that it switches off and the striking mechanism 11 stops. To release the drill pipe, the hammer drill is opened withdrawn his gun carriage. The valve 39 is switched off. If necessary, the hammer mechanism can be activated by switching on the valve 48 be turned on despite the engine 10 stopped, so that Hammer vibrates. If that often screwed together from several rods If the drill pipe is to be dismantled, the The rearmost boring bar is extended from the borehole and the drill pipe on the sleeve to the second rear boring bar with one Clamping device clamped. Now the valve 39 is in its upper Position switched so that a torque on the adapter in the releasing Senses. If the threaded connection is stuck, it can the hammer mechanism 11 again by switching on the valves 46, 48 switched on and the threaded connection vibrated.

    Der beschriebene Hammer ist sehr vielseitig in der Anwendung, weil das Schlagwerk und das Bohrwerk unabhängig voneinander betrieben werden können und trotzdem beim Bohren das Schlagwerk sofort stoppt, wenn das Drehwerk nicht dreht. Damit wird die aufwendige und manchmal unmögliche Demontage eines festgehämmerten, verklemmten Bohrgestänges vermieden. Die Drossel 42 kann so eingestellt werden, dass das Ventil 47 schon abschaltet, bevor der Motor 10 völlig zum Stillstand gekommen ist. Dies ist von Vorteil, weil dadurch ein Festsitzen des Bohrgestänges noch sicherer vermieden wird. Wenn das Ventil 47 als Proportionalventil ausgebildet ist, kann ausserdem erreicht werden, dass die Schlagfrequenz mit wachsender Drehzahl des Motors 10 steigt. Das Verhältnis zwischen Drehzahl und Schlagfrequenz kann mit der Drossel 42 eingestellt werden, was für mehrere Gesteinsarten ein Vorteil ist. Der erfindungsgemässe Bohrhammer ist wesentlich einfacher aufgebaut als der eingangs genannte. Deshalb sind seine Aussenabmessungen geringer, was bei den engen Platzverhältnissen in Vortriebsstollen resp. auf Aufbauten von Fräsmaschinen ein Vorteil ist. Das Schlagwerkventil 17 kann zum Beispiel seitlich angebaut werden, so dass der Bohrhammer 9 näher an der Lafette montiert werden kann. Dadurch werden die beim Bohrvorschub auftretenden Momente kleiner. Die beschriebene Schaltung eignet sich ausser für hydraulische auch für pneumatische Antriebe. The hammer described is very versatile in use, because the striking mechanism and the boring machine operated independently of each other can still be the hammer mechanism when drilling stops immediately if the slewing gear does not turn. With that the time-consuming and sometimes impossible disassembly of a hammered, jammed drill pipe avoided. The throttle 42 can do so be set so that the valve 47 switches off before the engine 10 has come to a complete standstill. This is from Advantage, because it makes the drill pipe stick even more securely is avoided. If the valve 47 as a proportional valve trained, can also be achieved that the Beat frequency increases with increasing speed of the motor 10. The Ratio between speed and stroke frequency can with the Throttle 42 can be set, which for several types of rock Advantage is. The hammer drill according to the invention is essential more simply constructed than the one mentioned at the beginning. That is why his External dimensions smaller, which is due to the limited space in tunneling or on superstructures of milling machines an advantage is. The hammer mechanism valve 17 can, for example, laterally be installed so that the hammer drill 9 closer to the carriage can be assembled. This will make the drilling feed occurring moments smaller. The circuit described is suitable not only for hydraulic but also for pneumatic drives.

    Die Betätigung der Ventile, insbesondere jener ausserhalb des Bohrhammers 9, kann alternativ zur dargestellten Art hydraulisch, pneumatisch, elektrisch oder von Hand erfolgen.The actuation of the valves, especially those outside the Hammer 9, can alternatively to the type shown hydraulically, pneumatically, electrically or by hand.

    Bei den nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispielen sind analoge Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen, so dass sich eine detaillierte Beschreibung dieser Teile erübrigt.In the following exemplary embodiments, analog parts are used provided with the same reference numerals, so that a detailed No need to describe these parts.

    Bei der Ausführungform nach Figur 2 sind an die beim Bohren als Rückleitung dienenden Leitungen 31 zwei einstellbare Drosseln 52, 53 angeschlossen. Die Drossel 52 ist mit dem Anschluss A7 des Ventils 39 verbunden, der beim Bohren mit dem Rücklaufanschluss 37 verbunden ist. Die andere Drossel 53 ist über ein einstellbares Überdruckventil 54 mit dem einen Anschluss 56 eines volumetrischen Taktermotors 55 verbunden, dessen anderer Anschluss ebenfalls an den Anschluss A7 angeschlossen ist. Der Taktermotor 55 treibt ein Dreiwege-Takterventil 57, das an die Anschlüsse 36, 38 für das Schlagwerk 11 angeschlossen ist. Der Ausgang des Ventils 57 ist mit der Pilotleitung 21 verbunden.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, when drilling as Return line serving lines 31 two adjustable chokes 52, 53 connected. The throttle 52 is connected to the A7 of the valve 39 connected to the return connection during drilling 37 is connected. The other throttle 53 is over one adjustable pressure relief valve 54 with a connection 56 of a volumetric clock motor 55 connected, the other connection is also connected to connection A7. Of the Clock motor 55 drives a three-way clock valve 57, which is connected to the Connections 36, 38 for the striking mechanism 11 is connected. Of the The outlet of the valve 57 is connected to the pilot line 21.

    Beim Bohren wird der Rücklaufstrom in der Leitung 31 durch die Drosseln 52, 53 in zwei Teilströme aufgeteilt, von welchen der eine den Motor 55 treibt. Dadurch schaltet das Ventil 17 mit einer Frequenz proportional zur Drehzahl des Motors 10 hin und her, wobei das Verhältnis der Drehzahl zur Schlagfrequenz mit den Drosseln 52, 53 einstellbar ist. Sinkt die Drehzahl stark ab, so sinkt auch der Druck stromaufwärts der Drosseln 52, 53 und deshalb auch stromabwärts der Drossel 53. Bei einer am Ventil 54 einstellbaren Minimaldrehzahl schliesst dieses, so dass der Motor 55 stoppt und das Schlagwerk stillsteht, bevor der Motor 10 ganz gestoppt ist. Dadurch wird das Festklemmen der Bohrkrone oder des Bohrgestänges in den meisten Fällen vermieden.When drilling the return flow in line 31 through the Chokes 52, 53 divided into two partial flows, of which the one drives the motor 55. As a result, the valve 17 switches with a Frequency proportional to the speed of the motor 10 and forth, the ratio of the speed to the stroke frequency with the throttles 52, 53 is adjustable. The speed drops sharply decreases, the pressure upstream of the throttles 52, 53 also drops and therefore also downstream of the throttle 53. With one at the valve 54 adjustable minimum speed closes this so that the motor 55 stops and the striking mechanism stops before the motor 10 is completely stopped. This will clamp the drill bit or the drill pipe avoided in most cases.

    Um bei der Rechtsrotation, das heisst beim Lösen des Gewindes des Bohrgestänges, also wenn am Anschluss A7 des Ventils 39 der Speisedruck ansteht, das Schlagwerk betätigen zu können, ist der Anschluss 56 des Motors 55 zusätzlich über eine Blende 58, ein manuelles Schaltventil 59 sowie ein Rückschlagventil 60 mit der Leitung 30 verbunden. Wenn also am Drehmotor 10 ein Drehmoment im lösenden Sinne ansteht, ohne dass er dreht, das heisst bei festsitzendem Gewinde, kann das Gewinde durch manuelles Einschalten des Schlagwerks 11 losgerüttelt werden. Falls mit dem Bohrhammer 9 im rechtsdrehenden Sinn gebohrt werden soll, was zum Beispiel in Australien der Fall ist, werden die beiden Anschlüsse an den Drehmotor 10 vertauscht.Um with the right rotation, that means when loosening the thread of the drill pipe, that is, if at port A7 of valve 39 the Feed pressure is pending, to be able to operate the striking mechanism is the Connection 56 of the motor 55 additionally via an orifice 58 manual switching valve 59 and a check valve 60 with the Line 30 connected. So if a torque on the rotary motor 10 is in the loosening sense without turning, that is with tight thread, the thread can be switched on manually of the striking mechanism 11 can be shaken off. If with that Rotary hammer 9 is to be drilled in the clockwise sense, what For example, in Australia, the two connections swapped to the rotary motor 10.

    Die Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie jene nach Figur 2. Im Unterschied zu dieser sind die Elemente 52 bis 56 und 58 bis 60 im Bohrhammer 9 eingebaut. Das Ventil 59 ist nicht handgesteuert, sondern über eine Pilotleitung 63 von einem handgesteuerten Ventil 64 pilotgesteuert. Der Taktermotor 55 treibt direkt das Schlagwerkventil 17, ist also in diesem Fall ein Schlagwerk-Ventilmotor. Die Wirkungsweise ist analog zu jener der Ausführungsform nach Figur 2.The embodiment of Figure 3 is constructed similarly to that according to FIG. 2.
