Description

    Field of the Invention
  • The disclosure relates to a combined down-the-hole hammer.
  • Background of the Invention
  • Generally, a drill bit is driven by a drill to drill holes on the strata in foundation pile construction, steel reinforcement cages are placed and concrete are filled in the holes subsequently, and foundation piles are formed after the concrete is hardened. However, the drill can hardly drill holes when encountering hard strata, especially rocks and an impactor (also known as a down-the-hole hammer) is needed for impact drilling. Because of the capability of drilling efficiently in hard rocks, the impactor is applied broadly to mining and basic construction of buildings.
  • The well-known impactor (published on pages 66 to 68 in the first chapter of China Mining Equipment Manual-Volume One, for example) is also generally called an integrated down-the-hole hammer in the industry, consisting of a conic thread joint 61', an impactor main body 62' including a piston, an impact drill bit 64' provided with a hard alloy head 63', and the diameter of the impactor is generally equal to or smaller than ϕ300mm, as shown in Fig. 16. During construction, the down-the-hole hammer is connected with the power head of the drill through a hollow drill rod. The power head drives the down-the-hole hammer to rotate, compressed air provided by an air compressor enters the impactor main body through the drill rod to drive the piston to strike the drill bit in a reciprocating manner frequently, and the impact energy is transferred to the hard alloy head of the drill bit to strike the rock in a reciprocating manner so as to break the rock. The rock fragments are discharged through an annular gap between the drill rod and the pore wall along with the gas discharged by the down-the-hole hammer to form a pile hole eventually.
  • The advantage is the highly-efficient drilling in hard strata, especially rocks. With the development of the foundation pile construction industry, however, the integrated down-the-hole hammer has the following shortages when the demands for drilling large-diameter foundation piles (ϕ500 to ϕ800 and diameters larger than ϕ1000) are increased:
    1. 1. large-diameter integrated down-the-hole hammers, which have high processing technological requirements and easily-caused quality problems, are hard to manufacture, and the manufacturing cost is relatively high;
    2. 2. because of the large size, the heavy weight and inconvenient maintenance and repair, the whole integrated down-the-hole hammer needs to be disassembled and repaired once a certain alloy head on the drill is damaged during working, thus prolonging the construction period and resulting in relatively high cost;
    3. 3. because of the large diameter, the heavy weight and the connection method using the conic thread joint, the integrated down-the-hole hammer, which needs to be rotated integrally and tightened by a very large torque to reach the required tightness, is installed and disassembled on site inconveniently.
  • To solve the above shortages of the large-diameter integrated down-the-hole hammers, an American patent US 4429439 publishes another cluster down-the-hole hammer. As shown in Fig. 17, a large-diameter down-the-hole hammer consisting of 5 small-diameter impactors clustered by frames is connected with a drill rod and a gas inlet passage via conic thread joints and distributes compressed air to each small impactors via a transverse gas passage to drive the impactors to perform impact drilling.
  • However, the cluster down-the-hole hammer has the following disadvantages:
    1. 1. the corners for the compressed air to enter the impactors via the transverse gas passage are almost rectangular, which results in great pressure loss and low efficiency;
    2. 2. according to the arrangement of the small-diameter impactors, the drilling area covered by the central impactor is different from those of the surrounding impactors in the same rotating conditions, and the impacting frequency of the central impactor (acting) should be different. However, the gas pressure which is the same in the gas passage and the flow which is uniformly distributed cannot be regulated, thus the energy cannot be utilized efficiently and the efficiency is low;
    3. 3. when the cluster down-the-hole hammer rotates to drill, the peripheral speed at the outer sides of the impact drill bits on the peripherally-arranged small-diameter impactors is different from that at the inner sides, thus resulting in different acting and different abrasion at the hard alloy heads distributed on the impact drill bits. The hard alloy heads at the outer sides are abraded more rapidly than those at the inner sides, thus resulting in working unbalance and relatively short service life of the whole cluster down-the-hole hammer;
    4. 4. similarly, because the cluster down-the-hole hammer has a large diameter with heavy weight, the cluster down-the-hole hammer which needs to be rotated integrally and tightened by a very large torque to reach the required tightness, is installed and disassembled on site inconveniently;
    5. 5. when the outer sides of the impact drill bits are abraded, all the peripherally-arranged small-diameter impactors need to be disassembled, rotated for 180 degrees and then reinstalled. By doing so, although the problem of unbalanced abrasion can be solved, the onsite installation and disassembly are inconvenient and the construction progress will be influenced.
  • A further document DE 30 24218 A1 is known, disclosing a percussive drilling equipment, the drilling equipment discloses a first drilling linkage, a hammer, low-voltage hammers and a low-floor hammer. The the hammer is driven to rotate by a drive motor. The low-voltage hammers rotate and drive the impact drill bit to rotate through a spline.

  • Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 illustrate the first preferred embodiment of a combined down-the-hole hammer according to the disclosure.
  • As shown in Fig. 1, the combined down-the-hole hammer comprises a coupler 1, a gas distributor 2, a bracket 3 and impactors 4. In combination and with reference to Fig. 2, the coupler 1 is used to connect with a drill rod 5 and is internally provided with a first gas passage 10. The first gas passage 10 is connected with a gas passage of the drill rod 5. The gas distributor 2 is provided between the coupler 1 and the bracket 3. Plurality of impactors 4 are installed on the bracket 3 and each of the impactors 4 is individually provided with a second gas passage 40. The impactor 4 comprises an impactor main body 42 and an impact drill bit 45. The impact drill bit 45 is provided with a hard alloy head 44. It can be seen from the figure that the gas distributor 2 comprises a gas collection chamber 21 communicated with the fist gas passage 10 and several gas-distributing paths 22 communicating the gas collection chamber 21 with the second gas passage 40 of each of the impactors 4. The coupler 1, the gas distributor 2 and the bracket 3 may be connected by the following method. The lower end of the coupler 1 is provided with a first flange plate 12 which is connected with the upper end of the gas distributor 2 through a bolt 27 or a screw. The lower end of the gas distributor 2 is provided with a second flange plate 24, and the second flange plate 24 is connected with the upper end of the bracket 3 via a bolt 37 or a screw. In order to ensure the gas passage tightness, a sealing ring 25 is installed between the coupler 1 and the gas distributor 2.
  • It can be easily seen from Fig. 2 that in the present embodiment, there are 5 impactors 4, one of which is provided in the center and the other four are arranged around the central impactor uniformly in an annular manner. The second gas passage of the central impactor 4 is overlapped with the axis of the first gas passage 10, and the axes of the second gas passages of the other impactors 4 are parallel to the axis of the first gas passage 10.

A rotation-stopping platform surface for preventing the columnar connector from rotating relative to the drill rod 5 is formed on each side surface of the columnar connector 11. The outer side wall of the columnar connector 11 is provided with a first cavity extending horizontally. The drill rod 5 is provided with a second cavity extending horizontally and intersected with the installation hole 51. The pin shafts 13 are installed in the second cavity and run through the first cavity to connect the columnar connector 11 and the drill rod 5 and facilitate machining of the installation hole of the pin shafts 13.
  • Preferably, it can be also seen from Fig. 2 that the bracket 3 comprises a cylindrical shell 36, an upper board 35 connected to the upper portion of the cylindrical shell 36 and a bottom board 34 connected to the lower portion of the cylindrical shell 36.
