- the invention further relates to a rock drill according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the invention further relates to a method for rock drilling, according to the preamble of claim 10.
- a rock drill shank, a rock drill and a method for rock drilling are already known from document EP-A-0 634 559 .
- a typical rock drill comprises a shank, percussion device and rotating device.

- the minimum length L min of the drill can be shorter than in the known drills.
- the body 22 of the drill 21 is marked with a dashed line in the figure. Control elements and pressure medium channels belonging to the percussion device 23 are not shown in Figure 2 for the sake of clarity.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view and Figure 4 a side view of a shank 2 of a preferred embodiment of the invention that comprises a first end 12, i.e. front end, and a second end 13, i.e. back end.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a rock drill shank according to the preamble of
claim 1. - The invention further relates to a rock drill according to the preamble of
claim 8. - The invention further relates to a method for rock drilling, according to the preamble of
claim 10.
Such a rock drill shank, a rock drill and a method for rock drilling are already known from documentEP-A-0 634 559 . - A typical rock drill comprises a shank, percussion device and rotating device. A tool can be fastened to the shank, to which rotation torque is transmitted from the rotating device by means of the shank and impact pulses are transmitted from the percussion device. The percussion device generally comprises a reciprocating percussion piston arranged to provide impacts to an impact surface located outermost at the back end of the shank. This type of drill has a certain minimum length and, in practice, it cannot be made shorter than the minimum length. The minimum length is determined by the length of the percussion piston and shank, the stroke length of the percussion piston and the remaining structure of the drill, such as the end covers. When quarrying in low spaces, for instance in tunnels, it is advantageous to use as short a drill as possible so as to be able to use tools of a practical length. However, the length of the drill cannot be shortened without shortening the length of the percussion piston and shank. If the percussion piston is made very short, it is no longer possible to provide therewith the impact pulses needed to break rock, and the performance of the drill is substantially reduced. The shank, too, should have a certain length so that tools can be firmly fastened to it and that it can be firmly supported to the body of the drill. In addition, the rotation torque required to rotate the shank should be transmitted to it. The stroke of the percussion piston also cannot be shortened very much without a harmful effect on the impact pulses transmitted to the shank.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved rock drill shank, rock drill and method for rock drilling.
- The shank of the invention is disclosed in
claim 1. - The rock drill of the invention is disclosed in
claim 8. - The method of the invention is disclosed in
claim 10.
Preferred embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims. - The impact surface of the shank is formed at a distance from the back end of the shank, i.e. the outermost end on the percussion device side. Further, the percussion element, which is arranged to transmit the impact pulses from the percussion device to the shank, and the back end of the shank are arranged to overlap at least partly.
- Because the percussion element of the percussion device and the shank overlap at least partly, the entity formed by the percussion device and shank can be relatively short in length. In spite of this, the percussion device and its percussion element can be designed so as to provide impact pulses of sufficient strength. Further, due to the invention, the shank can be dimensioned such that it can be well supported to the body.
With the rotating elements arranged at the second end of the shank, there is a free section on the arm of the shank, whereby it is easier to arrange the support of the shank. Further, it is easier to arrange the supply of a flushing medium and the seaiing arrangements it requires in such a construction. - The idea of a preferred embodiment of the invention is that the rotating elements of the shank are formed on the outer rim of the second-end area of the shank. The impact surface in turn resides on the centre axis of the shank. The second end of the shank is cuplike in shape. The impact surface forms the bottom of the cuplike section. The percussion element then overlaps the rotating elements at least when transmitting the impact pulse.

Figure 1 shows a conventional rock drill having apercussion piston 1 arranged to strike animpact surface 3 at the back end of ashank 2, forming impact pulses. Theshank 2 transmits the impact pulses on to atool 4 fastened to theshank 2 and on through a drill bit or the like to the rock being drilled. Theshank 2 is connected withrotating elements 5 to arotating device 6 in such a manner that theshank 2 andtool 4 can be rotated around their longitudinal axes. The conventional drill has a minimum length Lmin that is formed of the lengths of thepercussion piston 1 andshank 2 arranged consecutively, the stroke length Lper of thepercussion piston 1 and further, the casing and body structure of the rock drill; in this case, the thickness L1 of anend cover 7. It is very difficult to design this kind of drill to be substantially shorter without the shortening of the structure affecting harmfully the properties of the drill. If the length of thepercussion piston 1 is shortened, its percussion dynamics decrease significantly. This is due to the fact, for instance, that the shortening of the percussion piston reduces its mass. The percussion power and, through it, the performance of the drill decreases. It is also difficult to shorten the shank, since the flushing medium channel, the channel seals, and the bearings and rotatingelements 5 of the shank require that theshank 2 have a certain length. -
Figure 2 shows arock drill 21 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The back end of theshank 2 is cuplike, whereby thepercussion piston 1 does not strike the outermost end of theshank 2 but theimpact surface 8 that is at a distance L2 from the back end of theshank 2. Depending on the stroke length LPER and the length of the cuplike section, thepercussion piston 1 and theshank 2 are partly inside each other either during the stroke only or during the entire percussion cycle. The rotatingelements 5 are formed on the outer rim of the cuplike section of theshank 2, whereby there remains a relatively long free section on thearm 18 of theshank 2, to which the flushingmedium channel 9,seals 10 andshank 2 bearings 11 can be arranged. Because thepercussion piston 1 or a corresponding percussion element is arranged partly inside theshank 2, the minimum length Lmin of the drill can be shorter than in the known drills. Thebody 22 of thedrill 21 is marked with a dashed line in the figure. Control elements and pressure medium channels belonging to thepercussion device 23 are not shown inFigure 2 for the sake of clarity. -
Figure 3 is a sectional view andFigure 4 a side view of ashank 2 of a preferred embodiment of the invention that comprises afirst end 12, i.e. front end, and asecond end 13, i.e. back end. Thefront end 12 has connectingelements 14, such as threads, by means of whichtools 4 can be fastened to the drill. Instead of threads, it is naturally possible to use other connection elements suitable for the purpose. As shown inFigure 3 , theback end 13 of theshank 2 is cuplike in shape and consequently haslongitudinal edges 15 that form a circular cross-section at theback end 13 of theshank 2. Theimpact surface 8 is a transverse surface with respect to the longitudinal axis of theshank 2 and resides at a distance L2 from theoutermost surface 16 of theback end 13 of theshank 2, thus forming the bottom of the cuplike section. Theimpact surface 8 is located on the longitudinal axis of theshank 2. In the area of theback end 13 of theshank 2, there may berotating elements 5 to transmit rotation torque to theshank 2 from therotating device 6. AsFigure 4 shows, therotating elements 5 can comprise gearing on the outer rim of theedges 15, to which therotating device 6 can be geared through a gear wheel. It is clear that instead of gearing, it is possible to use any other suitable transmission elements for transmitting rotating torque to theshank 2. Further, theshank 2 can have at least one flushingmedium channel 9, the first end of which extends to the connection surface between theshank 2 andtool 4 and thesecond end 17 of thechannel 9 extends to thearm 18 of theshank 2. Flushing medium can then be supplied through theshank 2 to a second flushing medium channel in thetool 4. On thearm 18 of theshank 2, there is space for suitable collars or surfaces 19 and 20 forseals 10 and bearings 11. -
Figures 5 and 6 show ashank 2 havingfemale connection elements 14 at itsfirst end 12. Thetool 4 is then arranged to theshank 2 by pushing it partly inside theconnection elements 14 of theshank 2. Thetool 4 may have an angular connection head, for instance hexagonal, and theshank 2 may have a recess corresponding to the cross-profile of said connection head. Theshank 2 andtool 4 then connect to each other by shape. The connection can yet be secured in the longitudinal direction of the tool by means of a suitable screw, pin, wedge or another fastening element. Instead of the angular shape, the cross-profile of the shank recess and the connection head of thetool 4 can also be some other non-circular shape, such as oval. It is naturally possible to have an internal thread in theconnection elements 14 of theshank 2, to which a threaded pinlike connection head of thetool 4 can be arranged. -
Figure 7 further shows in a very simplified manner the cross-section of the structure of a rock drill. At least in principle, it is possible to construct a rock drill in such a manner that thepercussion piston 1 or a corresponding percussion element surrounds theback end 13 of theshank 2 to a predefined extent. The front end of thepercussion element 1 can then be cuplike and theimpact surface 8 of theshank 2 can be formed to acollar 25 in theshank 2, at a distance L2 from the back end of theshank 2.Rotating elements 5 can be formed on the outer rim of thecollar 25. - It should be noted that in this application, the percussion element also refers to other components generating an impact pulse than the reciprocating percussion piston shown in
Figures 1 to 7 . It can thus be said that the percussion element is a part of the percussion device that is arranged to transmit the impact pulse provided by the percussion device in one way or another to the impact surface of the shank. - It should further be noted that in some cases, the rock drill does not comprise the conventional type of pressure medium-operated or electrically operated rotating device, but the shank and drilling tool are rotated around their longitudinal axes for instance by transforming part of the impact pulse energy to rotation torque.
- The drawings and the related description are only intended to illustrate the idea of the invention. The invention may thus vary in detail within the scope of the claims.
