Patent number: 4732509Abstract: A method of feeding concrete into a drill hole in the concrete bolting of a rock, in which method a feeding hose is pushed into the hole and concrete is pumped into the hole through the feeding hose at the same time as the hose is drawn outwards within the hole. In order to ensure that the hole is filled properly, the amount of concrete pumped into the feeding hose for the distance the feeding hose is withdrawn, is greater than the concrete amount theoretically sufficient for filling an unbroken hole with concrete when the hose is withdrawn that distance. A device designed for the realization of the method comprises a primary pump which pumps concrete into a piston-type metering pump which in turn pumps the metered amount of concrete into the feeding hose in proportion as the feeding hose is withdrawn.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1986Date of Patent: March 22, 1988Assignee: Oy Tampella ABInventor: Jarmo Leppanen

Patent number: 4711090Abstract: In a method of and device for adjusting the feed movement of a drill rod for drilling a rock, the drill rod is rotated by a pressure-medium-operated rotary motor and fed in a drilling direction and in the opposite direction by a pressure-medium-operated feed motor. A pressure change on the pressure side of the rotary motor due to a change in the rotation resistance on the rotary motor acts oppositely on the pressure and outlet sides of the feed motor toward reversing the feed force of the feed motor, i.e. in inverse and direct dependence on the pressure change, respectively. The pressures on the pressure side and the outlet side of the feed motor are, therefore, controlled so that, when the pressure on one side increases because of the pressure change, the pressure on the other side decreases and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1987Date of Patent: December 8, 1987Assignee: Oy Tampella AbInventors: Eero Hartiala, Jaakko Kuusento, Hannu Paasonen
