Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drill support for a hammer drill, with which at least a part of the contact pressure of the hammer drill can be generated.
  • Such a drill support is formed with a foot for placement on the ground, a holder for the hammer drill, on which the hammer drill is arranged, and a telescopic hydraulic cylinder with which the holder is displaceable relative to the foot in the axial direction, wherein in the telescopic hydraulic cylinder at least one Pressure chamber is arranged, which is acted upon for extending the telescopic hydraulic cylinder with hydraulic fluid.
  • Such drill supports are, for example, from US 2,754,804 and AT 226174 known. They are used inter alia in underground mining in the production of blasting holes and serve to generate at least a portion of the contact pressure of the hammer drill, and possibly to support the hammer drill.
  • US 2,754,804 discloses a drilling support for a hammer drill, with which at least a portion of the contact pressure of the hammer drill can be produced, with a foot for placement on the ground, a holder for the hammer drill, on which the hammer drill can be arranged, and a telescopic pneumatic cylinder, with wherein the holder is displaceable relative to the foot in the axial direction, wherein in the telescoping pneumatic cylinder at least one pressure chamber is arranged, which is acted upon for extending the telescopic pneumatic cylinder with compressed air, wherein the Bohr note has at least one spring means for axial cushioning of the holder relative to the foot.
  • AT 227174 discloses a drilling support for a hammer drill, with which at least a portion of the contact pressure of the hammer drill can be produced, with a foot for placement on the ground, a holder for the hammer drill, on which the hammer drill can be arranged, and a telescopic pneumatic cylinder, with the holder is displaceable relative to the foot in the axial direction, wherein in the telescoping pneumatic cylinder at least one pressure chamber is arranged, which is acted upon for the extension of the telescopic pneumatic cylinder with compressed air.
  • the drilling performance that can be achieved using hydraulically operated drill supports may be less than the drilling performance that can be achieved using comparable pneumatically operated drill supports, particularly at low contact forces under the
  • Bohr equation
  • the US 20070215368 A1 and the EP 0 391 613 A2 describe handling devices for pneumatic hammers.
  • the FR 2 894 303 A1 and the FR 1 045 365 A relate to modified hydraulic cylinder assemblies.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a drill support, with the particularly simple design and very high reliability, a particularly good drilling performance can be achieved.
  • a basic idea of the invention can be seen in the force curve between the holder for the hammer drill and the foot to provide a spring device which cooperates with the hydraulic cylinder.
  • This spring device can absorb elastically in the axial direction directed changes in length of the drill support between the bracket and foot.
  • the invention has recognized that the increased drilling performance observed in pneumatic jacking columns may be due to a spring action that occurs with pneumatic jacking columns due to the compressibility of the gaseous operating fluid.
  • This spring effect has the consequence that the reaction time compared to a hydraulic drill support can be lower, which in turn can be associated with higher drilling performance, especially at low contact forces.
  • hydraulic jacking supports are often sluggish than pneumatic jacking supports, and therefore slower at low contact pressures.
  • the invention builds and provides, in addition to the hydraulic drive to arrange a spring device. Due to this additional spring means can be achieved with hydraulic drill columns reaction times, which can compete with the reaction times of pneumatic drill supports. As a result, particularly high drilling performance can be achieved with the invention, without the particularly robust and reliable hydraulic drive concept would have to be abandoned.
  • the spring device is arranged in series with the pressure chamber and / or acts. According to this embodiment, a change in length caused by expansion of the spring element and a change in length caused by expansion of the pressure chamber add up. In such a series connection, a particularly good reaction time reduction is achieved.
  • the spring device has at least one solid-state spring, in particular a metal spring.
  • the solid-state spring may be a metal spring.
  • the solid-state spring may be a spiral spring or a plate spring.
  • the spring device has at least one gas spring.

  • the gas spring has a spring gas volume which is outside the hydraulic cylinder and / or the pressure chamber of the hydraulic cylinder.
  • the gas spring may comprise a spring housing in which the spring gas volume is located, and which is in fluid communication with the pressure space via a line. Such an arrangement may be advantageous in terms of maintenance because gas spring and hydraulic cylinder can be maintained separately.
  • the gas spring has a spring gas volume, which is located in the pressure chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. As a result, a particularly compact arrangement can be obtained.
  • the invention also relates to a drilling apparatus having a drill support according to the invention and a pressure source for pressurizing the pressure chamber of the hydraulic cylinder.
  • the pressure fluid may preferably be water, but in principle also hydraulic oil.
  • the hydraulic cylinder is suitably a double-acting cylinder, so that it can be hydraulically both extended and retracted.
  • the drilling device comprises a hammer drill, which is arranged on the holder of the drill support.

  • the extension of the drill support can be controlled in a particularly simple manner.
  • the spring device has at least one gas spring, wherein the valve is arranged in line between the gas spring and the pressure source.
  • the gas spring can also act when the valve is closed due to control or greatly reduced in its cross section.

  • the drill support 1 further comprises a hydraulic cylinder 20 which is arranged between the holder 22 and the foot 11, and with which the holder 22 relative to the foot 11 in the axial direction 6 is adjustable. Accordingly, when the hydraulic cylinder 20 is extended, the hammer 3 is pushed away from the ground 8.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 20 has a cylinder housing 29 and a piston 28 movable therein.
  • the holder 22 on the cylinder housing 29 and the foot 11 is arranged on the piston 28.
  • a reverse arrangement is possible in which the holder is arranged on the piston and the foot on the cylinder housing.
  • the piston can also be designed in several parts and / or telescopic.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 20 is double-acting and therefore has a first pressure chamber 25 which is acted upon for extending the hydraulic cylinder 20 with hydraulic fluid 40, and a second pressure chamber 35 which is acted upon for retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 20 with hydraulic fluid 40.
