[0001] This invention relates to the mining and construction industry, in particular, to
hydraulic impact mechanisms, and is intended for use as removable equipment for construction
and road-building machines for the destruction of coherent rocks, road surfaces, concrete
structures and the like.
[0002] A hydraulic hammer containing a bushing, in the wall of which there are many passages
for communication with the first set of holes and the second set of holes and the
supply of fluid medium is known from the prior art. The passages contain a porous
medium to ensure the flow of hydraulic fluid through it. The porous structure is a
honeycomb structure used to increase surface area, which increases the heat dissipation
rate (
US 2017080554, March 23, 2017).
[0003] The disadvantage of this impact mechanism is the complexity and high cost of the
structure, low efficiency, and the lack of heat removal directly from its source.
[0004] The submitted invention is intended to solve a technical problem, which is the expansion
of the technical means of hydraulic hammers, the characteristics of which provide
an effective, durable and reliable hydraulic hammer by reducing heat loads directly
in the zone of their occurrence with a simple design.
[0005] The technical effect achieved by the implementation of this invention is an increase
in the efficiency, durability, and reliability of operation of the hydraulic hammer
by increasing heat transfer (provision of cooling) from the heating zone and lowering
the temperature of both the sleeve and the hydraulic hammer as a whole without significantly
complicating the design of the hydraulic hammer.
[0006] The specified technical effect is achieved by a hydraulic hammer comprising a housing
with pressure and drain holes and with a sleeve located in it, made with a pressure
cut and a pressure hole, a head located in the sleeve and configured to reciprocate
and interact with the working piece, pressure and drain lines, wherein the outer surface
of the sleeve has circular cuts and two diametrically opposite longitudinal channels.
[0007] One of the longitudinal channels is connected to the pressure hole of the sleeve,
and the other channel is connected to the pressure line through the pressure cut of
the sleeve and the pressure hole of the housing.
[0008] In the bottom part on the outer surface of the head there is at least one circular
groove with a seal installed in it.
[0009] Both longitudinal channels are made with the possibility of intersection with at
least one circular cut of the sleeve.
[0010] Circular cuts and two diametrically opposite longitudinal channels made on the outer
surface of the sleeve with a simultaneous increase in the area of the outer surface
of the sleeve to accelerate heat dissipation, and the organization of the hydraulic
fluid flow through them, eliminate overheating of the working surfaces of the sleeve
preventing its failure, as well as failure of the head, the seals and the hydraulic
hammer as a whole, which increases the efficiency, durability, and reliability of
operation of the hydraulic hammer without significantly complicating the design of
the hydraulic hammer.
[0011] The essence of the invention is explained in the drawings, where Fig. 1 shows a general
arrangement of the hydraulic hammer; Fig. 2 shows section A-A in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 shows
section B-B in Fig. 1.
Adopted designations:
[0012]
- 1 - housing,
- 2 - sleeve,
- 3 - head,
- 4 - working piece,
- 5 - pressure hole,
- 6 - drain hole,
- 7 - pressure cut,
- 8 - circular cuts,
- 9 - first longitudinal channel,
- 10 - second longitudinal channel,
- 11 - pressure hole,
- 12 - circular grooves,
- 13 - seals,
- 14 - cocking cavity,
- 15 - pressure line,
- 16 - drain line.
[0013] The hydraulic hammer includes housing 1, sleeve 2, head 3 and working piece 4.
[0014] Pressure hole 5 and drain hole 6 are made in housing 1.
[0015] On the outer surface of sleeve 2 there is a pressure cut 7, cuts 8 and diametrically
opposite first longitudinal channel 9 and second longitudinal channel 10. The wall
of the sleeve has a pressure hole 11 connected to longitudinal channel 10.
[0016] In the lower part of head 3, there are circular grooves 12 in which seals 13 are
installed.
[0017] Sleeve 2 is installed in housing 1. Head 3 is located in sleeve 2, where it reciprocates
and forms a cocking cavity 14 with it.
[0018] Pressure hole 5 is connected to pressure line 15, and drain hole 6 is connected to
drain line 16.
[0019] Working piece 14 is installed at the bottom of hydraulic hammer 4.
[0020] When operated, head 3 reciprocates. Due to friction of the head and seals 13 on the
inner surface of sleeve 2, the parts are heated, which reduces the reliability of
the hydraulic hammer.
[0021] To reduce the heat load, the actuating fluid from pressure line 15 flowing through
pressure cut 7 and the first longitudinal channel 9 into the second longitudinal channel
10 and further through pressure hole 11 into the cocking cavity 14 passes through
cuts 8, washing the lower part of sleeve 2 and cooling it.
[0022] The claimed invention increases the range of hydraulic hammer capabilities and the
efficiency, durability, and reliability of the hydraulic hammer operation.
1. A hydraulic hammer comprising a housing with pressure and drain holes and with a sleeve
located in it, made with a pressure cut and a pressure hole, a head located in the
sleeve and configured to reciprocate and interact with the working piece, pressure
and drain lines, wherein the outer surface of the sleeve has circular cuts and two
diametrically opposite longitudinal channels.
2. The hydraulic hammer of claim 1 comprising one of the longitudinal channels connected
to the pressure hole of the sleeve, and the other channel connected to the pressure
line through the pressure cut of the sleeve and the pressure hole of the housing.
3. The hydraulic hammer of claim 1 comprising both longitudinal channels configured to
