Additionally, a sleeve is disposed between the piston and accumulator membrane, wherein the sleeve has a plurality of radial passages formed therein that fluidly connect the accumulator membrane with the piston.
Abstract:
A scaling apparatus comprises a hammer component and a pick component which includes a tooth. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for moving the pick component with respect to the hammer component to thereby impart a scaling force to and through the tooth. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pick component includes a pick body comprising a first pivot having a pivot axis and a tooth mounted on the pick body. In this embodiment of the invention, the hammer component includes a hammer housing and a second pivot mounted within the housing and adapted to pivotally engage the first pivot of the pick body. This embodiment of the invention also includes a mechanism for rotating the pick body relative to the hammer component so as to impart a scaling force.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic hammer comprising a percussion piston (12) for delivering strokes to a tool (8). The lower part of the percussion piston is sealed to the frame (9) by means of a sealing bushing (31) comprising one or more lower seals (15). The sealing bushing does not contribute to the bearing of the percussion piston and it is arranged in place through the lower end of the hydraulic hammer (1). Further, the invention relates to a tool bushing (28) into which the sealing bushing (31) is integrated.
Abstract:
A hydraulically operated percussion hammer comprising a percussion piston that reciprocates by means of the pressure of the pressure fluid, a main valve that is controlled by the position of the percussion piston and that guides the pressure fluid to the percussion piston in order to provide a reciprocating motion, and a pressure control valve that is placed in an outlet duct for pressure fluid and that prevents the flow of the pressure fluid from the percussion apparatus before the pressure of the pressure fluid in the inlet duct exceeds the set value of the pressure control valve. The percussion apparatus comprises a separate by-pass duct which allows the pressure fluid to flow from the pressure chamber of the percussion piston past the pressure control valve to the outlet duct until the percussion piston has reached a certain point during its return motion.
Abstract:
A hydraulic striking device requiring no complicated adjustment of the flow rate of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pressure source of a hydraulic construction machine, etc. and operable by utilizing the power unit of a variety of such hydraulic machines. The adjusting valve (8) is disposed inside the main body near the control valve (5) and used to restrict the flow of hydraulic fluid ejected from the upper piston chamber (16) and passed through the control valve (5) with respect to the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied into the upper chamber (12) before flown from the outlet (11) to control the pressure in the upper piston chamber (16). Thus, a nearly constant, appropriate operating pressure can automatically be maintained irrespectively of the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid supplied from outside.
Abstract:
An anvil is formed on one end of an elongated piece and the piece is driven into the ground or the like by impacting the anvil with a reciprocable ram driven by a drive mechanism that is operated by a valve which is reciprocably mounted in a normally balanced two directional fluid pressure circuit to reciprocate in the alternate directions thereof when the circuit is unbalanced in the respective directions thereof. The circuit has a pair of outlets therein which are connected with the opposing ends of the valve and disposed to slidably engage with the ram during the stroke thereof. The ram comprises an anvil impacting body having a striking surface on one end thereof and a pair of grooves in one laterally oriented face thereof which are mutually offset longitudinally the the reciprocable axis of the body on spaced parallel lines to form collateral mutually longitudinally offset lands on the lines. The grooves are adapted in axial extent, respectively, to discharge fluid from one of the outlets while the corresponding land covers the other outlet, and vice versa, to generate opposing fluid pressure differentials in the circuit across the valve and thereby unbalance the circuit in the respective directions thereof, when the body is reciprocably supported and guided in the apparatus and driven by the mechanism so that the lines of the grooves and lands intersect the outlets.
Abstract:
A hydraulically operated impact tool is provided for performing land-based or undersea tasks including hammering, chipping, scraping, punching, and cutting. The tool's features include a spring (preferably hydroelastic) for storing impact-stroke energy, a configuration of valves which eliminates flow in the supply and return lines during the impact stroke, and a control approach which provides operator selection of either single-blow or continuous-cycling operation.
Abstract:
A hydraulic apparatus for generating impacts comprising primary members having striking and control apparatus which is made up of a plunger which moves reciprocatingly, for striking a tool, inside a housing having an intermediate working zone which has a single inner diameter. An intermediate part making up a piston of the plunger fits therein and has a corresponding single diameter. There is no flow of fluid between these two members and the movement of the plunger is controlled by secondary members and tertiary members which are located in respective housings which make up several chambers, and in which the corresponding plungers are reciprocatingly movable. The apparatus further includes means for discharging the fluid under pressure from within the apparatus for stopping its operation when the tool is not at rest on a workpiece so that the main plunger descends inside the housing to a point below its normal lower operating position.
