  • Patent number: 8739896
    Abstract: A percussion device has a machine housing (1), a forwards and backwards movable percussion piston (2) in the machine housing, and a reciprocatingly movable valve body (6) in the machine housing. The percussion piston has a first (4) and a second (5) driving surface subjected to pressure to drive the percussion piston (2) forwards and backwards. The valve body (6) has a first end surface (12) and a second end surface (13) for driving the valve body in first and second directions by applied pressure. The valve body (6) is arranged over a channel (7) in the machine housing, to connect at least the second (5) driving surface alternately to a pressure source (8) or to low pressure (9), and the second end surface (13) is alternately connectable by the percussion piston (2) to the pressure source (8) or, over a valve device (11) for creating a counter-pressure, to the low pressure (8).

  • Patent number: 6371222
    Abstract: A hammer device has a machine housing (1) with a hammer piston (2) movable to-and-fro. The to-and-fro movement of the hammer piston is controlled by a valve body (6) movable to-and-fro in the machine housing. The valve body, via a channel (7), alternatively connects a drive surface (5) on the hammer piston to a pressure source (8) and to low pressure (9). In order to expedite the actuation of the hammer piston at its rear dead center, the machine housing has a room (10) which is separated from the channel (7) by the hammer piston at the same time that the valve body (6) maintains the pressure from the pressure source (8) on the rear end surface (5) of the hammer piston.

  • Patent number: 5320189
    Abstract: Rock drilling device comprising a backhammer unit (10) in which a hammer piston (9) is movable to-and-fro for automatically exposing a tube string (4) to impacts in a direction away from a drill bit (8) in the tube string. The backhammer unit comprises a housing (13) and a springloaded tube part (14). The housing and the tube part form between them a first valve (16) and a second valve (17). At drilling the first valve which controls the supply of driving medium to said hammer piston is closed and the second valve which controls the flushing medium flow is open. At backwards feeding of the rock drilling machine (2) along the feed beam (1) with a force which exceeds a predetermined value the first valve is open and the second valve is closed.

  • Patent number: 5244049
    Abstract: Rock drilling device comprising a drilling tool with a set of tubes (7) and a set of rods (9) arranged therein. The drilling tool comprises a number of sections which each comprises a tube (7), a rod (9) and an end piece (11). The rod is provided with projections (10) at least near one of its ends for cooperation with parts (13,14) with reduced diameter in the tube and end piece respectively. The part (13) in the tube limits the movement of the rod in a direction away from the end piece. The part (14) in the end piece limits the movement of the rod in a direction towards the end piece. All thread connections (12) between different sections of the drilling tool and between tube and end piece within each section are made in the same way and thus equally easy to break.
