[0030] In the related art, the clutch in the drilling air hammer is set in contact with the gas distribution seat, and the clutch is connected through the gas distribution seat. This can easily transfer the resistance generated by the rotation of the drill bit directly to the gas distribution seat, which can easily cause the gas distribution seat to be damaged and affect the flow of airflow.

[0031] Based on this, the present invention provides an air hammer resistance transmission clutch device, a clutch, a guided air hammer and an application, wherein the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device includes an outer shell, an upper joint, a clutch, a valve seat and a rotating rod, the upper end of the upper joint is passed through the lower end of the outer shell and fixedly connected; the valve seat is passed through the outer shell, and the upper end of the valve seat abuts against the lower end of the upper joint; the lower end of the clutch is passed through the inner cavity of the valve seat, and a gap is formed between the outer wall of the lower end of the clutch and the inner wall of the valve seat, a connecting part is connected to the clutch, and the clutch is fixedly connected to the upper joint through the connecting part; the upper end of the rotating rod is passed through the clutch, and the rotating rod can rotate around its axis while transmitting the rotational resistance to the upper joint through the clutch.

[0033] Exemplary embodiment 1

[0034] The present exemplary embodiment provides an air hammer resistance transmission clutch device.

[0035] Figure 1 FIG2 shows a schematic structural diagram of the first part of the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 FIG2 shows a schematic structural diagram of the second part of the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a valve seat and a clutch in an air hammer resistance transmission clutch device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4 Shown Figure 2 The enlarged exploded view of point A in the middle, Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing a connecting portion and a rotating shaft in an air hammer resistance transmission clutch device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device described in this exemplary embodiment may include a shell 1, an upper joint 2, a clutch 3, a gas distribution seat 4, an air flow valve 5 and a rotating rod 6, wherein the shell 1 may be a hollow straight cylindrical structure; the upper end of the upper joint 2 may be in the shape of a drill pipe male buckle, and the lower end may extend from the upper end of the shell 1 into the shell 1 and be fixedly connected to the shell 1; the gas distribution seat 4 may be inserted into the shell 1, and its outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the shell 1, that is, when the gas distribution seat 4 is inserted into the shell 1, its outer wall fits the inner wall of the shell 1; the clutch The clutch 3 can be inserted into the valve seat 4, with a gap between its outer wall and the inner wall of the valve seat 4. In other words, the outer diameter of the clutch 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve seat 4. The upper end of the clutch 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper joint 2. The airflow valve 5 can be installed at the upper end of the clutch 3. The upper end of the airflow valve 5 can abut against a step formed on the inner wall of the upper joint 2, blocking the gas passage in the upper joint 2. It can also be pushed downward axially by the gas in the upper joint 2, thereby opening the gas passage. In other words, the airflow valve 5 can control the opening and closing of the gas passage in the upper joint 2. The rotating rod 6 extends from the lower end of the clutch 3 into the clutch 3. The resistance generated by the rotating rod 6 during rotation can be transmitted to the upper joint 2 through the clutch 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, a gas passage running through the upper and lower parts may be opened in the center of the upper joint 2, and the upper joint 2 may be fixedly connected to the outer shell 1 by threads, but the present invention is not limited to this. The upper joint 2 and the outer shell 1 may also be connected by other fixed connection methods such as screws, bolts or pins.

[0038] Furthermore, a step may be formed on the inner wall of the upper joint 2, so that the inner diameter of the upper end of the gas channel of the upper joint 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the lower end. The step surface of the inner wall of the upper joint 2 can cooperate with the conical surface at the upper end of the airflow valve 5. When the upper end of the airflow valve 5 abuts against the step surface, the gas channel can be blocked, but the present invention is not limited to this. The inner wall of the upper joint 2 can also be formed into other structures, as long as it can cooperate with the airflow valve 5 to realize the function of opening and closing the gas channel.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gas distribution seat 4 is inserted into the outer shell 1, and its upper end can abut against the lower end of the upper joint 2 to achieve axial fixation, but the present invention is not limited to this. The gas distribution seat 4 and the outer shell 1 can also be fixedly connected by other means such as threaded fitting.

[0040] Furthermore, the outer shape of the gas distribution seat 4 is a cylindrical structure, and four second air holes 41 are opened in its side wall. The second air holes 41 first extend axially downward from the upper end of the gas distribution seat 4 for a distance, and then extend radially toward the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4 for a distance until it penetrates the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4. That is to say, the upper and lower ends of the second air holes 41 respectively penetrate the upper surface and the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4, and the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of second air holes 41 opened in the side wall of the gas distribution seat 4 can also be other positive integers other than 4, and the penetration method is not limited to axial and radial penetration, as long as the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the clutch 3 is inserted into the valve seat 4, and the lower end is sleeved on the rotating rod 6. The outer diameter of the clutch 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve seat 4. That is to say, there is a gap between the outer wall of the clutch 3 and the inner wall of the valve seat 4. When the rotating rod 6 rotates, the torque and resistance generated can be transmitted to the clutch 3, but due to the gap between the clutch 3 and the valve seat 4, the torque and resistance cannot be transmitted to the valve seat 4, thereby protecting the valve seat 4 from damage.

[0042] Furthermore, a connecting portion 31 is formed at the upper end of the clutch 3, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 31 is larger than the outer diameter of other parts of the clutch 3. That is, the connecting portion 31 makes the outer wall of the clutch 3 protrude radially outward, and at the same time, the connecting portion 31 and the upper joint 2 are fixedly connected by rivets, thereby fixing the clutch 3 and the upper joint 2 together. When the rotating rod 6 rotates, the torque and resistance generated by its rotation can be transmitted to the upper joint 2 through the clutch 3, and due to the gap between the clutch 3 and the valve seat 4, the torque and resistance cannot be transmitted to the valve seat 4, thereby protecting the valve seat 4 from damage. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the connecting portion 31 and the upper joint 2 can also be fixedly connected by other means such as screws, bolts or threaded fitting.

[0043] Furthermore, four first air holes 311 are provided on the connecting portion 31, wherein the first air hole 311 close to the upper joint 2 can extend axially from the upper end of the clutch 3 until it penetrates the outer wall of the clutch 3, and the first air hole 311 close to the axis of the clutch 3 can first extend axially from the upper end of the clutch 3 for a distance, and then extend radially toward the outer wall of the clutch 3 for a distance until it penetrates the outer wall of the clutch 3. That is to say, the upper and lower ends of the first air hole 311 can respectively penetrate the upper surface and outer wall of the clutch 3, so that the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the clutch 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of the first air holes 311 provided on the connecting portion 31 can also be other positive integers other than 4, and the penetration method is not limited to axial and radial penetration, as long as the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the clutch 3.

[0044] Furthermore, when the clutch 3 and the gas distribution seat 4 are inserted into the outer shell 1 and the upper joint 2, an air guide space is formed between the outer wall of the clutch 3, the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and the upper end of the gas distribution seat 4, so that the first air hole 311 and the second air hole 41 can be connected. That is to say, the gas can flow from the gas channel of the upper joint 2 along the first air hole 311, the air guide space, and the second air hole 41 to the outside of the gas distribution seat 4, thereby realizing the conduction of the gas from top to bottom, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the air guide space is not limited to the form in this embodiment, as long as the connection between the first air hole 311 and the second air hole 41 can be achieved.

[0045] In this embodiment, the clutch 3 also includes a rotating shaft 32, which is arranged in the first air hole 311. The rotating shaft 32 is a hollow cylindrical structure. When the gas flows through the first air hole 311, it can also flow along the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 32. A plurality of arc blocks 3112, such as 8, are provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32. The arc blocks 3112 can be tilted on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32. That is, a non-vertical angle, such as 45 degrees, is formed between the arc blocks 3112 and the axis of the rotating shaft 32. When the gas flows through the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 32, it can flow between two adjacent arc blocks 3112, thereby forming a gas in the rotating shaft 32. The spiral airflow, at the same time, the rotating shaft 32 can also generate a circumferential rotational force to rotate under the drive of the airflow. The spiral airflow can accelerate the flow speed of the gas in the first air hole 311, thereby avoiding the accumulation of high air pressure in the gas channel of the upper joint 2 due to untimely gas flow, which has a destructive effect on the airflow valve. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The number of arc blocks 3112 in each rotating shaft 32 can also be other positive integers other than 8, and the angle between the arc block 3112 and the axis of the rotating shaft 32 can also be other angles other than 45 degrees and 90 degrees, as long as the axial airflow can drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate.

[0046] Furthermore, seven first annular grooves 3111 are circumferentially formed on the inner wall of the first air hole 311, and each of the first annular grooves 3111 is arranged side by side along the axial direction of the first air hole 311, and the spacing between two adjacent first annular grooves 3111 is the same. At the same time, seven second annular grooves 321 are also formed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32, and each of the second annular grooves 321 is arranged side by side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32, and the seven second annular grooves 321 correspond one-to-one to the seven first annular grooves 3111, that is, the spacing between two adjacent second annular grooves 321 is also the same, and an annular cavity is formed between each corresponding first annular groove 3111 and second annular groove 321, and a plurality of balls 33 are installed in each annular cavity, and the balls 33 can respectively abut against the bottom of the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321, and the balls 33 can automatically rotate in each annular cavity. By rolling, when the rotating shaft 32 rotates in the first air hole 311, it can also drive the balls 33 to roll in the annular cavity formed between the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321, thereby further reducing the rotational friction of the rotating shaft 32 in the first air hole 311, so that the rotating shaft 32 rotates more smoothly in the first air hole 311, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321 can also be other positive integers other than 7, and the spacing distances between two adjacent first annular grooves 3111 or second annular grooves 321 can also be different, as long as each first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321 can correspond to each other to form an annular cavity; the number of balls 33 in each annular cavity can also be any number, as long as they can be driven by the rotating shaft 32 to roll in the annular cavity to reduce the rolling friction of the rotating shaft 32.

[0047] The working process of the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device according to this exemplary embodiment is described in detail below:

[0048] The high-pressure gas enters the gas channel of the upper joint 2 from the upper part of the upper joint 2. Under the action of high pressure, the upper conical surface of the air flow valve 5 is pushed away from the step surface of the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and moves downward. At this time, the clutch 3 is in the forward gear state, and the inner sleeve of the clutch 3 rotates with the rotating rod 6. The high-pressure gas flows out from the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4 through the first air hole 311, the air guide space and the second air hole 41 at the same time. When the high-pressure gas passes through the rotating shaft 32 in the first air hole 311, a spiral airflow is generated under the action of the arc block 3112 on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32, which accelerates the flow speed of the gas in the first air hole 311 and drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 32, thereby avoiding the accumulation of high pressure in the gas channel of the upper joint 2 due to untimely gas flow, causing damage to the air flow valve. In addition, in the forward gear state, the torque and resistance generated by the rotation of the rotating rod 6 can be transmitted to the upper joint 2 through the clutch 3, avoiding the resistance and torque being transmitted to the gas distribution seat 4 and causing damage to the gas distribution seat 4. When the piston of the air flow valve 5 moves upward, the clutch 3 is in a reverse gear state, and the rotating rod 6 is locked and cannot rotate.

[0049] Exemplary embodiment 2

[0050] The present exemplary embodiment provides an air hammer resistance transmission clutch.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , a connecting portion 31 is formed at the upper end of the clutch 3, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 31 is larger than the outer diameter of other parts of the clutch 3, that is, the connecting portion 31 makes the outer wall of the clutch 3 protrude radially outward. When the clutch 3 is installed in the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device described in exemplary embodiment 1, the connecting portion 31 can be fixedly connected to the upper joint 2 by rivets, thereby fixing the clutch 3 and the upper joint 2 together. When the rotating rod 6 at the lower end of the clutch 3 rotates, the torque and resistance generated by its rotation can be transmitted to the upper joint 2 through the clutch 3, and due to the gap between the clutch 3 and the valve seat 4, the torque and resistance cannot be transmitted to the valve seat 4, thereby protecting the valve seat 4 from damage. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The connecting portion 31 and the upper joint 2 can also be fixedly connected by other means such as screws, bolts or threaded fitting.

[0052] Furthermore, four first air holes 311 are provided on the connecting portion 31, wherein the first air hole 311 close to the upper joint 2 can extend axially from the upper end of the clutch 3 until it penetrates the outer wall of the clutch 3, and the first air hole 311 close to the axis of the clutch 3 can first extend axially from the upper end of the clutch 3 for a distance, and then extend radially toward the outer wall of the clutch 3 for a distance until it penetrates the outer wall of the clutch 3. That is to say, the upper and lower ends of the first air hole 311 can respectively penetrate the upper surface and outer wall of the clutch 3, so that the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the clutch 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of the first air holes 311 provided on the connecting portion 31 can also be other positive integers other than 4, and the penetration method is not limited to axial and radial penetration, as long as the gas channel of the upper joint 2 can be connected with the outer side of the outer wall of the clutch 3.

[0053] Furthermore, when the clutch 3 and the gas distribution seat 4 are inserted into the outer shell 1 and the upper joint 2, an air guide space is formed between the outer wall of the clutch 3, the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and the upper end of the gas distribution seat 4, so that the first air hole 311 and the second air hole 41 can be connected. That is to say, the gas can flow from the gas channel of the upper joint 2 along the first air hole 311, the air guide space and the second air hole 41 to the outside of the gas distribution seat 4, thereby realizing the conduction of the gas from top to bottom, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the air guide space is not limited to the form in this embodiment, as long as the connection between the first air hole 311 and the second air hole 41 can be achieved.

[0054] In this embodiment, the clutch 3 also includes a rotating shaft 32, which is arranged in the first air hole 311. The rotating shaft 32 is a hollow cylindrical structure. When the gas flows through the first air hole 311, it can also flow along the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 32. A plurality of arc blocks 3112, such as 8, are provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32. The arc blocks 3112 can be tilted on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32. That is, a non-vertical angle, such as 45 degrees, is formed between the arc blocks 3112 and the axis of the rotating shaft 32. When the gas flows through the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 32, it can flow between two adjacent arc blocks 3112, thereby forming a gas in the rotating shaft 32. The spiral airflow, at the same time, the rotating shaft 32 can also generate a circumferential rotational force to rotate under the drive of the airflow. The spiral airflow can accelerate the flow speed of the gas in the first air hole 311, thereby avoiding the accumulation of high air pressure in the gas channel of the upper joint 2 due to untimely gas flow, which has a destructive effect on the airflow valve. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The number of arc blocks 3112 in each rotating shaft 32 can also be other positive integers other than 8, and the angle between the arc block 3112 and the axis of the rotating shaft 32 can also be other angles other than 45 degrees and 90 degrees, as long as the axial airflow can drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate.

[0055] Furthermore, seven first annular grooves 3111 are circumferentially formed on the inner wall of the first air hole 311, and each of the first annular grooves 3111 is arranged side by side along the axial direction of the first air hole 311, and the spacing between two adjacent first annular grooves 3111 is the same. At the same time, seven second annular grooves 321 are also formed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 32, and each of the second annular grooves 321 is arranged side by side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32, and the seven second annular grooves 321 correspond one-to-one to the seven first annular grooves 3111, that is, the spacing between two adjacent second annular grooves 321 is also the same, and an annular cavity is formed between each corresponding first annular groove 3111 and second annular groove 321, and a plurality of balls 33 are installed in each annular cavity, and the balls 33 can respectively abut against the bottom of the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321, and the balls 33 can automatically rotate in each annular cavity. By rolling, when the rotating shaft 32 rotates in the first air hole 311, it can also drive the balls 33 to roll in the annular cavity formed between the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321, thereby further reducing the rotational friction of the rotating shaft 32 in the first air hole 311, so that the rotating shaft 32 rotates more smoothly in the first air hole 311, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of the first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321 can also be other positive integers other than 7, and the spacing distances between two adjacent first annular grooves 3111 or second annular grooves 321 can also be different, as long as each first annular groove 3111 and the second annular groove 321 can correspond to each other to form an annular cavity; the number of balls 33 in each annular cavity can also be any number, as long as they can be driven by the rotating shaft 32 to roll in the annular cavity to reduce the rolling friction of the rotating shaft 32.

[0056] Exemplary Embodiment 3

[0057] The present exemplary embodiment provides a guided air hammer.

[0058] The guided air hammer described in this exemplary embodiment includes the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device described in exemplary embodiment 1 or the air hammer resistance transmission clutch described in exemplary embodiment 2. Its specific structure is consistent with the air hammer resistance transmission clutch device described in exemplary embodiment 1 and the air hammer resistance transmission clutch described in exemplary embodiment 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0059] It also includes components such as a guide sleeve and a drill bit, which can realize the function of axially driven drilling operations.

[0060] Exemplary Embodiment 4

[0061] This exemplary embodiment provides an application of the guided air hammer described in exemplary embodiment 3 in drilling operations.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, during drilling operations, high-pressure gas enters the gas channel of the upper joint 2 from the upper part of the upper joint 2. Under the action of high pressure, the upper conical surface of the air flow valve 5 is pushed away from the step surface of the inner wall of the upper joint 2 and moves downward. At this time, the clutch 3 is in the forward gear state, and the inner sleeve of the clutch 3 and the rotating rod 6 rotate together. The high-pressure gas flows out from the outer wall of the gas distribution seat 4 through the first air hole 311, the air guide space and the second air hole 41 at the same time. When the high-pressure gas passes through the rotating shaft 32 in the first air hole 311, a spiral airflow is generated under the action of the arc block 3112 on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 32, which accelerates the flow speed of the gas in the first air hole 311 and drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 32, thereby avoiding the accumulation of high pressure in the gas channel of the upper joint 2 due to untimely gas flow. Damage to the air flow valve is caused. In addition, in the forward gear state, the torque and resistance generated by the rotation of the rotating rod 6 can be transmitted to the upper joint 2 through the clutch 3, avoiding the resistance and torque being transmitted to the gas distribution seat 4 and causing damage to the gas distribution seat 4. When the piston of the air flow valve 5 moves upward, the clutch 3 is in a reverse gear state, and the rotating rod 6 is locked and cannot rotate.

[0063] In summary, the present invention can directly connect the clutch to the upper joint by providing a connecting portion on the clutch of the device, so that the resistance generated by the rotation of the rotating rod will not be transmitted to the valve seat, but will directly act on the upper joint, thereby avoiding damage to the valve seat under the influence of long-term resistance. The clutch can also replace the bottom cover of the valve seat for sealing, making the installation of the clutch and the valve seat more convenient. In addition, a rotating shaft is also provided in the clutch of the device. When the airflow circulates through the air guide groove on the connecting block, the rotating shaft can rotate due to the flow impact of the airflow, and then the airflow is spirally flowed due to the rotation of the rotating shaft and the influence of the inner wall arc block, so that the airflow flows faster and will not accumulate in the upper joint and affect the airflow valve.

[0064] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims.
