Abstract
A drilling machine including a rock drill comprising a striking piston fitted to reciprocate in a cylinder. The piston is driven by a pressure medium. A rotation motor is provided and is driven by a pressure medium. A pump piston is permanently connected to a striking piston in concentric relation and arranged to travel in a pump cylinder. The cylinder is concentric with the cylinder that operates the striking piston and is axially spaced therefrom. The pump piston is arranged to provide a pump pressure medium to the rotation motor.
Claims8
A rock drilling machine including a cylinder and a striking piston fitted to reciprocate therein in response to a pressure medium travelling through a first duct, a rotation motor drivable by a pressure medium travelling through a second duct, wherein said first and second ducts are not connected, a pump piston and a pump cylinder with the pump piston arranged to travel in the pump cylinder and being permanently connected to the striking piston, the pump cylinder being concentric with the cylinder carrying said striking piston and being positioned at an axial distance therefrom, said pump piston being arranged to pump pressure medium to said rotation motor during a work stroke of the striking piston.
In a rock drilling mechanism including a housing with a first cylinder formed therein, a striking piston adapted to move axially in a first direction a limited distance and opposite the first direction the limited distance in the first cylinder in response to a first pressure medium, a striking member affixed to the striking piston, the striking member is moved axially by the striking piston and is adapted to move in the first direction to strike a tool affixable to the housing, the tool is movable axially and rotatably when affixed to the housing, a rotation motor adapted to rotate the tool when the tool is affixed to the housing, an improvement comprising:
- a second cylinder, formed in the housing and axially displaced with respect to the first cylinder;
- a pump piston affixed to the striking piston and displaced axially with respect thereto, said pump piston is adapted to be moved axially in said second cylinder by the striking piston;
- means for supplying a quantity of a second pressure medium to said second cylinder as said pump piston is moved axially opposite the first direction;
- means for supplying a quantity of the second pressure medium in said second cylinder to the rotation motor when said pump piston is moved axially in the first direction.
