Definitions

  • Pneumatic jackhammers with metal bodies generally heavy and having a maneuvering handle connected to the body, are known.
  • the invention provides a pneumatic jackhammer device comprising an outer casing, a moving cylinder and piston assembly actuating a piercing element, a compressed air cylinder supply device, an air exhaust device and a device operating control device, characterized in that said outer casing is derived from two complementary parts adapted to fit one with the other to enclose in addition to the cylinder and piston assembly said cylinder supply devices, d air exhaust and control of the operation and in that at least one channel of the supply device and / or the exhaust device is formed in at least one of the housing parts, this channel being formed laterally in the thickness of the housing part, parallel to the cylinder.
  • Said enclosed supply, exhaust and control devices are advantageously rigidly trapped between said housing parts, which are mounted tight against each other and sealingly.
  • Said housing parts are adapted in their shape to accommodate in their interlocking said enclosed devices, which are thus sandwiched between the two nested housing parts.
  • They advantageously comprise at least one layer of material capable of isolating vibrations and operating noise of the cylinder and piston assembly.
  • They are advantageously derived from molding or injection made of synthetic material, for example plastic, and preferably adapted to the use of a small and reduced weight lancing device, preferably using low pressure compressed air. , by example 0.5 to 2.5 bar, for finishing or with little access.
  • At least one channel of the supply device and / or the exhaust device may be provided in at least one of the housing parts, thus avoiding the use of external pipes.
  • the housing parts are advantageously two half-shells made of plastic substantially symmetrical to one another with respect to a longitudinal median plane of the hammer device and intended to be mounted tightly to one another and in a leak-tight manner for example by a set of screws arranged at their periphery.
  • the two housing parts can thus be exchanged easily in case of wear or breakage.
  • Their sealed assembly is advantageously provided by a peripheral bead of one of the parts crashing in the clamping in a corresponding groove of the other part, and possibly on a flexible joint.
  • Said housing parts are advantageously formed with at least one operating handle of the jack hammer device, which integrates the operation control device (control trigger).
  • Said handle may be offset from the axis of the cylinder and be D-shaped, one of whose branches, the front branch distinct from the main rear branch, protects the hand of the operator.
  • Said front branch of the handle can accommodate at least a part of the air exhaust device (for example a baffle), which is evacuated out of the cylinder, for example at the outer end of the handle, without interference with the hand of the operator.
  • the air exhaust device for example a baffle
  • the main operating arm of the handle can further integrate the supply pipe connection at its outer end and a supply valve connected to the control part.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a jackhammer device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the jack hammer device along the line 2-2 of FIG. 3
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged axial sectional view of the jack hammer device
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view according to FIG. line 4-4 of Figure 2 showing the feed relief channels of the jack hammer device
  • Figure 5 is a partial enlarged cross section showing the connection of the crankcase half-shells.
  • the jackhammer device 1 comprises an outer casing 3, a cylinder assembly 5 and movable piston 7 actuating a piercing element 9, a feed device 1 1 of the compressed air cylinder 5, an air exhaust device 13 and an operating control device 15.
  • the outer casing 3 comprises two half-shells 3a assembled to one another along a median longitudinal plane of the device, being tightened against each other by means of screws 17 arranged at their periphery.
  • These half-shells 3a resulting from plastic molding, enclose said feeder 1 1, exhaust 13 and control devices 15 of the jackhammer, trapping them rigidly in corresponding housings, respectively l ia, 13a, 15a, formed during their assembly. They are mounted in a sealed manner to one another by means of a periphery seal 19 constituted by a peripheral bead 19a of a half-shell crashing in the tightening in a complementary groove 19b of the other (FIG. 5) and leaning possibly on a flexible joint 19c bottom of the groove.
  • the half-shells 3a are formed with the operating handle 21 of the jack hammer device, which includes the control portion or trigger 15b of the jack hammer device mounted on a rear main handle branch 21a of the device (at the opposite the piercing element 9) protected by a front branch 21b connected to the previous forming a D, axially offset cylinder 5.
  • the cylinder assembly 5 and piston 7 extends axially substantially over the length of the body 23 of the hammer device.
  • the cylinder 5 conventionally houses at its rear part the compressed air distribution section, which is connected to the supply device 1 1 of compressed air mounted in the main branch 21a of the handle, and it comprises at its part before the gripping part of the piercing element 9 or ball-shifter 27.
  • the latter is formed in an enlarged axial extension before 5 'of the cylinder, comprising conventionally a ring 27a mounted to move on its surface, biased towards the before by a spring 27b and holding the piercing element 9 by means of balls 27c trapped in housings 27d, this ring 27a being able to move back on the thrust of the operator against the spring 27b to release the piercing element 9.
  • the piston 7 is hollow, being slidably mounted in the cylinder 5, this piston being intended to be pushed brutally towards the piercing element 9, under the pressure of the compressed air in the cylinder 5 and on its hollow head 7a, for shock him and allow the stitching effect of the hammer device.
  • the feed device 1 1 of the cylinder comprises a feed valve 1 1b disposed in the extension of the main branch 21a of the handle, itself connected to a supply pipe l ie compressed air to about 2 bars to its outer end.
  • This valve 1 1b is connected to the trigger 15b by a control rod 15c. The latter, closed, without actuation of the trigger, opens a supply channel Hd of compressed air to the dispensing portion 25 under the actuation of the control trigger 15b.
  • the dispensing portion 25 is conventional and comprises a pad 25a mounted to move back and forth on its seat 25b and alternately distributing the compressed air in the upper chamber 5a of the cylinder to push the piston 7 to the piercing element 9 or, conversely, supplying the lower part 5b of the cylinder by control channels to the piston (visible in Figures 2 and 4) to push the latter to the upper part 5a of the cylinder to (the opposite of the piercing element ).
  • the relief channels I the above mentioned are two in number (one to several and of variable section depending on the space available in the housing) each formed laterally in the thickness of the half-shells 3a, parallel to the cylinder 5 and the lower level of this last. These channels I are connected to the distribution portion 25 at its rear end and to the cylinder through holes 5c opening at its lower portion 5b.
  • the exhaust device comprises a main part 13 housed in the front branch 21b of the handle, which is in the form of baffles for channeling the compressed air connected by holes 5d to the cylinder 5 and open at the end of this branch .
  • baffles extend longitudinally in the volume of the handle branch 21b. They allow the evacuation of compressed air at the outer end of the handle without inconvenience to the operator.
  • Another part of the exhaust device 13 ' is disposed in the front end portion of the half-shells 3a, opposite the handle 21. This part comprises small baffles connected to the lower part 5b of the cylinder by means of through holes 5e and is connected to the end of the half-shells 3a by holes 13 'opening outwards towards the piercing element 9.
  • an internal shaping half-shells 3a can be realized near the distribution portion 25 and the control trigger 15b, in a small space 28 around the cylinder 5 and carry the residual leakage air (unavoidable) to the main exhaust portion 13.
  • the operation of the hammer drill according to the invention is now described with reference to Figure 3.
  • the compressed air arrives from the supply valve 1 1b open (according to arrow), trigger 15b actuated, towards the dispensing portion 25.
  • the compressed air is conveyed either in the chamber of upper cylinder 5a to push the piston 7 to the piercing element 9 with a striking effect, or it is driven in the opposite direction, at the end of the distribution part 25, to reach through the two channels I relieves the lower level 5b of the cylinder and allow the raising of the piston 7 for a new typing, according to a conventional operation of air hammer piercing.
  • the air cushion compressed by the arrival of the piston 7 between the element piercer 9 and the piston 7 is evacuated by the front exhaust part 13 'to the piercing element 9, which prevents the piston being braked by this air cushion, in its stroke towards the piercing element 9.
  • the pellet 25a is then moved to its opposite position on its seat 25b, closing the compressed air inlet in the upper chamber
  • the invention thus provides a simple jackhammer device, adaptable to a small size, lightweight and economical.
