Patent number: 11207769Abstract: A hydraulic hammering device includes a piston front chamber and a piston rear chamber defined between an outer circumferential surface of the piston and an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and disposed separately from each other at front and rear, respectively, in an axial direction. A switching-valve mechanism drives the piston by switching at least one of the piston front chamber and the piston rear chamber into communication with at least one of a high pressure circuit and a low pressure circuit. An acceleration piston is disposed behind the piston and is configured to come into contact with the piston during a retreat stroke thereof to urge the piston forward, in which a timing where the acceleration piston itself starts to come in contact with the piston is set to be earlier than a timing where the piston is braked by the switching-valve mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Furukawa Rock Drill Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masahiro Koizumi

Patent number: 11034010Abstract: A hydraulic hammering device is capable of sufficiently transmitting blow energy to bedrock while further strengthening cushioning action and suppressing damage to equipment. The device includes a pushing piston disposed behind a transmission member and having a smaller propulsive force than that of a main body, a damping piston positioned behind the pushing piston to slide reciprocally forwards and backwards and having a greater propulsive force than that of the main body, a direction-restrictor in a high-pressure circuit between pushing and damping chambers, to which hydraulic fluid is supplied for providing the pistons with propulsive forces, and a fluid supply source. The direction-restrictor restricts an outflow from the chambers side to the fluid supply source side while allowing fluid inflow from the fluid supply source side to the chambers and the pushing chamber sides. A throttle in a drain circuit discharges leaked fluid from a sliding contact location to a tank.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Furukawa Rock Drill Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Kaneko, Masahiro Koizumi, Toshio Matsuda

Patent number: 10493610Abstract: A hydraulic hammering device that uses a scheme in which a front chamber is switched into communication with a low-pressure circuit when a piston advances, wherein occurrences of “galling” to the piston at a sliding contact portion with a front-chamber liner is reduced. The front chamber has the front-chamber liner fitted to an inner surface of a cylinder. A hydraulic chamber space communicating with the front chamber and filled with hydraulic oil is formed as a cushion chamber on the inner peripheral surface of a rear portion of the front-chamber liner. The cushion chamber has a second drain circuit (from first end face grooves to slits to second end face grooves), which is provided separately from a drain circuit that guides the hydraulic fluid passing through a liner bearing of the front-chamber liner to the low-pressure circuit.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Furukawa Rock Drill Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Koizumi, Susumu Murakami, Toshio Matsuda, Tomohiro Goto, Shunsuke Echigoya
