3 Claims.
This invention relates to percussive tools and more particularly to valves therefor.
Anv object of the invention is to provide a valve for controlling the distribution of pressure fluid in a percussive tool, which valve is positive and quick in action, one which is thrown by live pressure fluid from the cylinder, and one which will provide a heavy blow of the hammer piston and will materially cut down the consumption of pressure fluid in proportion to the work performed.
With these and otherobjects in View as may appear from the accompanying specification, the
inventionconsists of various features of construction and combination of parts, which will be first described in connection with the accompanying drawing, showing percussive tool valves of the preferred form, and the features forming the invention will be specifically pointed out in the 0 claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through a percussive tool showing the improved valve applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the valve chest and valve showing the valve in a different position from which it is shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 30 Of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is an isometric view of the valve.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the improved percussive tool comprises a cylinder I having a piston chamber 2 therein in which the The piston 3 is of the hammer piston type which strikes the working tool or drill bar 4 to provide the drilling action for the piston and consequently the drill bar 4 will rotate during the drilling operation by means of a rifle 40 bar mechanism 5 of any approved type commonly employed in hammer piston drills.
A valve chest 6 is mounted in the rear end of the cylinder and is provided with a valve chamber 'I therein, in which is mounted the distributing 45 valve 8. The valve 8 controls the distribution of the pressure fluid or compressed air to the cylinder for operating the piston, while the delivery of the pressure fluid to the valve chest 'I is controlled by the throttle valve I0. The cylinder I 50 is provided With a free piston-controlled exhaust is of greater area than the flange I 3. The flanges I3 and I4 are subjected to pressure fluid from the cylinder through suitable ports and passages for throwing the valve. The valve 8 has a pair of internal end flanges I5 and I6 formed thereon inwardly of the end flanges I3 and I 4. The flange I6 is of larger area than the flange I5.
During the operation of the percussive tool `the pressure fluidA enters the annular chamber from the throttle valve I0 and passes through the passageway 2| into the annular channel 22 formed in the valve chest 6. When the valve 8 is in its upper position as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, the pressure fluid passes through the restricted space 23 formedby the external flange 24 and the adjacent surface of the valve chest. The flange 24is formed on the valve 8 substantially intermediate the ends of the valve and initially controls the distribution of the pressure fluid. The pressure iluid also passes through the restricted port 25 formed between the periphery of the body I2 of the valve 8 on the adjacent surface of the valve chest, into the annular channel 26 from which it passes through the inlet passageway 2l into the rear end of the piston chamber 2 for moving the piston 3 forwardly. As the piston 3 moves forwardly, it uncovers the port 28 formed in the cylinder and permits pressure fluid to pass through the port 28 into the passage 29 in the cylinder I. From the passage 29, the pressure fluid passes through the passage 30 in the valve chest 6 and engages against the outer side of the rearward end ange I3 on the valve il for moving the valve 8 forwardly and into the position shown in Fig. l of the drawing. Pressure against the flange I4 has been relieved by the opening of the passages 3l and 36 to atmosphere.
When the valve 8 is moved into` its forward position as shown in Fig. l of the drawing, the flange 24 cuts off the passage of pressure fluid from the annular channel 22 to the rear end of the piston chamber 2 and opens the annular channel 22 to the annular channel 3|, through the restrictions formed at 32 and 33 between the flange 24 and the valve chest and the body I2 and the valve chest respectively. From the annular channel 3| the pressure fluid passes through the passageway 35 in the cylinder into the forward end of the piston chamber 2 and moves the piston 3 rearwardly. As the piston 3 moves rearwardly it uncovers the port 38 and permits pressure fluid to pass through the port, through the passage 36 in the cylinder I and intov and through the passage 31 in the valve chest, subjecting the outer surface of the forward end flange I4 to pressure and as pressure above the flange I3 has been previously exhausted through the passages 30 and 29 and through the exhaust opening II, this live air pressure will move the valve 8 rearwardly and into the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing at which time pressure fluid is delivered to the rear end of the piston chamber 2. The -pressure above the ange I3 exhausts through the passages 30 and 29 and the exhaust port I I after the piston 3 has uncovered the port 28 and the exhaust I I during its downward movement. This cycle of operation is repeated to provide drilling operation.
The flange 24 and body 8 are provided with a leak port 40 which opens from the annular channel 22 into the interior of the body I2 of the valve 8 between the flanges I5 and I6 to permit a limited quantity of pressure fluid to enter the space between the flanges I5 and I6 and act on these flanges for holding the valve in position until the pressure against either of the end flanges I3 or I4 becomes great enough to move the valve. The greater area of the flange I 6 with respect to the area of the flange I5 prevents centering of the valve. The difference in area between the flanges I6 and I5 is, however, balanced by the difference in area between the flanges I3 and I4 so that with valve throwing pressure against the larger area of the flange I4, the pressure fluid acting on the under side of flange 24 will hold the valve seated in its rearward position. The differences in area of the flanges I5 and I6 will facilitate the forward throwing or movement of the valve and compensate for the differences in area between the flanges I3 and I4 for holding the valve in its forward position during the proper interval in each cycle of operation of the valve.
By particular reference to Fig. 2 of the drawing, it will be noted that the flange I6 is of greater area than the flange I5. This is provided to prevent centering of the valve during operation. While the flange I6 is shown in the drawing as having a greater area, it is to be under stood that either of the flanges I 5 or I6 may have the greater area, without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
It will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific construction or arrangement of parts shown but that they may be widely modified within the invention defined by the claims.
