Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep drilling, and specifically to a hydraulic impact hammer. Background Technology
[0002] To extract underground resources such as oil, geothermal energy, and coal, hydraulic impact hammers were invented to break up hard rock formations such as granite. As a crucial component of underground mining infrastructure construction, hydraulic impact hammers have been widely adopted. With the increasing demand for geothermal energy extraction from deep, dry hot rock formations, but the fact that these formations are often located at depths exceeding 4 km and are covered by hard rock layers such as granite, increases the difficulty of drilling. Hydraulic impact hammers are widely used in drilling hard rock formations in the oil and gas industry, the geothermal industry, and mineral exploration.
[0003] A hydraulic impact hammer is a large "impact drill" driven by high-pressure drilling fluid. This impact hammer has great impact power and a high impact frequency, resulting in a high rock-breaking speed.
[0004] Hydraulic impact hammers, as a new type of impact crushing engineering equipment, are widely used in hard rock crushing and engineering construction, especially in urban renewal and concrete component demolition. Due to their versatility, operational flexibility, and effective role in improving labor productivity, they are increasingly valued by mining and construction departments. This mechanical secondary crushing method offers significant social and economic benefits compared to traditional exposed blasting methods, thus leading to its rapid development and promising prospects for wider application.
[0005] Existing hydraulic impact hammers typically use small structures to control the hammer, allowing it to operate in drilling fluid. Because drilling fluid is viscous and contains solid particles, this small structure can become clogged. Furthermore, the piston has a large impact force but lacks a buffer structure, which can easily cause irregular vibrations in the hammer body, leading to instability and even affecting its service life.
[0006] In addition, existing hydraulic impact hammers have too many flow channels and complex structures, which can easily cause leakage. Summary of the Invention

Below the protrusion 241, the outer wall of the first end of the impact piston 23 contacts the inner wall of the second end of the power valve chamber sleeve 15, and the impact piston 23 can move on the impact piston guide sleeve 24; the second end of the power valve chamber 14 is connected to the first end of the piston bushing 20 through the support sleeve 21, the outer wall of the middle end of the impact piston 23 contacts the inner wall of the piston bushing 20, the outer wall of the piston bushing 20 contacts the inner wall of the outer shell sleeve 22, the inner shell sleeve 22 is provided with an internal protrusion, the second end of the piston bushing contacts the first surface of the internal protrusion, the inner wall of the piston bushing contacts the outer wall of the second end of the impact piston 23, the second surface of the internal protrusion contacts the first end of the drill bit guide sleeve 19, and the second end of the drill bit guide sleeve 19 contacts the anti-drop washer 18.
[0050] The outer side wall of the drill chuck 17 is connected to the inner side wall of the second end of the outer sleeve 22. The inner side wall of the drill chuck 17 is provided with an internal guide protrusion 171 to provide a guide motion trajectory for the drill bit. The outer side wall of the drill bit is provided with a first connecting protrusion 161 and a second connecting protrusion 162.

There is a smooth surface 163 between the first connecting protrusion 161 and the second connecting protrusion 162. The anti-drop washer 18 is provided on the smooth surface 163 and is restricted by the drill bit guide sleeve 19 and the drill chuck 17. The first connecting protrusion is located inside the drill bit guide sleeve 19 and the first connecting protrusion 161 can move inside the drill bit guide sleeve 19.
[0051] The movement of the power slide valve 9 provides power to the impact piston 23, which in turn drives the drill bit to move. The flow divider sleeve, filter inner sleeve 10, slide valve end cover 13, power valve chamber 14, power valve chamber sleeve 15, impact piston guide sleeve 24, piston bushing 20, piston guide sleeve, and drill bit guide sleeve 19 are restricted in their position by the rear end 11, the drill bit, and the outer sleeve 22.
[0052] Oil passage grooves are provided on the outer sides of the diversion sleeve 12, the filter inner sleeve 10, the power slide valve 9, the power valve chamber 14, and the impact piston guide sleeve 24.
[0053] The outer sleeve 22 is provided with a first hydraulic line 2, a second hydraulic line 3, a third hydraulic line 5, a fourth hydraulic line 4, a fifth hydraulic line 6, a sixth hydraulic line 25 and a seventh hydraulic line 7.
[0054] Drilling fluid flows in from the rear connector 11, is filtered by the inner filter sleeve 10, and then diverted by the diversion sleeve 12. The pipeline flowing from the diversion sleeve 12 to the power slide valve 9 is the first hydraulic line 2; the pipeline flowing from the power slide valve 9 to the upper part of the impact piston 23 is the second hydraulic line 3; the pipeline flowing from the diversion sleeve 12 to the lower part of the impact piston 23 is the third hydraulic line 5; and the pipeline flowing from the diversion sleeve 12 to the outer wall of the first end of the impact piston 23, or from the outer side of the first end of the impact piston 23...

When both the power valve 9 and the impact piston are in the upper position, the first hydraulic line 2, the third hydraulic line 5, and the fourth hydraulic line 4 pass through high-pressure drilling fluid, while the fifth hydraulic line 6, the sixth hydraulic line 25, and the seventh hydraulic line 7 pass through low-pressure drilling fluid. When the power valve 9 is in the lower position and the impact piston is in the upper position, the first hydraulic line 2, the second hydraulic line 3, the third hydraulic line 5, and the fourth hydraulic line 4 pass through high-pressure drilling fluid, while the fifth hydraulic line 6 and the seventh hydraulic line 7 pass through low-pressure drilling fluid.
[0056] The drilling fluid in each pipeline eventually flows to the hydraulic outlet in the impact piston 23 and then flows out from the drill bit.
[0057] Multiple protrusions are provided on the outer side wall of the outer sleeve 22 for easy disassembly and assembly.
[0058] In the fourth hydraulic line 4, the drilling fluid flows out from the diversion sleeve 12 and then flows to the outer wall of the first end of the impact piston 23, and then flows from the outer wall of the first end of the impact piston 23 to the lower part of the power slide valve 9.
[0059] Example:
[0060] This embodiment provides a hydraulic impact hammer, the working principle of which is shown in Figure 1. Figures 1a-1dThe solid line represents the high-pressure channel, and the dashed line represents the low-pressure channel. Due to gravity, both the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9 are in the lower position when the hydraulic impact hammer is started. High-pressure drilling fluid flows into the hydraulic impact hammer system through the high-pressure drilling fluid inlet 1; a portion of the high-pressure drilling fluid flowing into the hydraulic impact hammer system flows into the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9 through the first hydraulic pipeline 2, and the high-pressure drilling fluid passing through the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9 and the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 flows into the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 through the second hydraulic pipeline 3, thus making the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 a high-pressure state; a portion of the high-pressure drilling fluid flowing into the hydraulic impact hammer system flows into the lower chamber of the impact piston 23 through the third hydraulic pipeline 5, making the lower chamber of the impact piston 23 a high-pressure state; the high-pressure drilling fluid flowing into the hydraulic impact hammer system... A portion of the well fluid flows into the annular cavity formed by the impact piston 23 and the impact piston guide sleeve 24 through the fourth hydraulic line 4, and then flows into the internal pipe of the impact piston guide sleeve 24. After passing through the fourth hydraulic line 4 and the fifth hydraulic line 6 connected to the lower cavity of the power slide valve 9 inside the impact piston guide sleeve 24, it flows into the lower cavity of the power slide valve 9, making the lower cavity of the power slide valve 9 high pressure. At this time, the upper cavity of the power slide valve 9, the lower cavity of the power slide valve 9, the upper cavity of the impact piston 23, and the lower cavity of the impact piston 23 are all in a high pressure state. Since the area of the upper cavity of the power slide valve 9 is smaller than the area of the lower cavity of the power slide valve 9, the power slide valve 9 moves upward due to the area difference.
[0061] After the power slide valve 9 moves upward, the high-pressure drilling fluid flows into the first hydraulic line 2 and is blocked by the power slide valve 9. The second hydraulic line 3 is connected to the sixth hydraulic line 25 on the power slide valve 9. The impact piston guide sleeve 24 and the impact piston 23 have hollow structures inside and are in a connected state, thus forming a high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8. This allows the high-pressure drilling fluid in the upper cavity of the impact piston 23 to flow through the sixth hydraulic line 25 and the second hydraulic line 3 and then out through the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8, causing the upper cavity of the impact piston 23 to change from high pressure to low pressure. At this time, the lower cavity of the impact piston 23 is still high pressure, so the impact piston 23 moves upward due to the area difference.
[0062] After the impact piston 23 moves upward, the fifth hydraulic line 6 connects with the seventh hydraulic line 7, and the seventh hydraulic line 7 connects with the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8. Therefore, the high-pressure drilling fluid in the lower chamber of the power valve 9 will flow through the fifth hydraulic line 6 to the seventh hydraulic line 7, and finally flow from the seventh hydraulic line 7 to the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8, and then flow out from the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8, thereby making the lower chamber of the power valve 9 low pressure. Therefore, the power valve 9 moves downward due to the pressure difference.
[0063] After the power slide valve 9 moves down, the sixth hydraulic line 25 is blocked, and the first hydraulic line 2 and the second hydraulic line 3 are connected. At this time, the high-pressure drilling fluid flows into the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 through the first hydraulic line 2 and the second hydraulic line 3, making the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 high pressure. Since the area of the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 is larger than the area of the lower chamber of the impact piston 23, the impact piston 23 moves down.
[0064] After the impact piston 23 moves down, the hydraulic impact hammer system returns to the initial state where both the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9 are in the lower position, thereby realizing the reciprocating cyclic motion of the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9, thus completing the continuous impact of the impact piston 23 on the drill bit.
[0065] An oblique bypass channel is opened in the piston guide sleeve so that the first hydraulic line 2 is always connected to the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8, thereby increasing the flow rate.
[0066] The upper end of the power slide valve 9 is slidably fitted with the slide valve end cover 13 to form the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9, and a difference in area between the upper and lower force-bearing surfaces of the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9 is formed. The lower end of the power slide valve 9 is slidably fitted with the power valve chamber 14, and a force-bearing surface of the lower chamber of the power slide valve 9 is formed. The power slide valve 9 is installed inside the power valve chamber 14 and the slide valve end cover 13.
[0067] The impact piston 23 is installed inside the power valve chamber sleeve 15 and the piston bushing 20, and the power valve chamber sleeve 15 and the piston bushing 20 provide positioning for the impact piston 23.
[0068] The inner diameter of the impact piston 23 mates with the impact piston guide sleeve 24 to form a sliding fit.
[0069] The drill bit slides into the drill bit guide sleeve 19 and the drill bit chuck 17.
[0070] Based on the above structure, after the high-pressure drilling fluid is introduced, the impact piston 23 can be moved up and down to complete the drilling by switching between high and low pressure in the upper and lower chambers of the impact piston 23 through the difference in the valve chamber area of the power slide valve 9 and the switching between high and low pressure in the upper and lower chambers of the impact piston 23. Initially, due to gravity, the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9 are in the lower position. The high-pressure drilling fluid flows out from the high-pressure drilling fluid inlet 1 in the diversion sleeve 12. The high-pressure drilling fluid inlet 1 is an annular chamber composed of the filter inner sleeve 10 and the diversion sleeve 12. Part of it flows into the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9 through the first hydraulic line 2, so that the upper chamber of the power slide valve 9 achieves high pressure. The other part enters the third hydraulic line 5 and finally flows into the lower chamber of the impact piston 23, ensuring that the lower chamber of the impact piston 23 is always in a high-pressure state during the entire operation of the hydraulic impact hammer. A portion of the fluid flows into the fourth hydraulic line 4, which is formed by a horizontal through-hole shared by the power valve chamber sleeve 15 and the impact piston guide sleeve 24. This portion of high-pressure drilling fluid enters the fifth hydraulic line 6, which is composed of the impact piston guide sleeve 24 and the power valve chamber 14, through the annular chamber inside the impact piston guide sleeve 24 and the vertical straight channel, and then flows into the lower chamber of the power spool valve 9. Because the force-bearing area of the lower chamber of the power spool valve 9 plus the upper force-bearing area of the upper chamber of the power spool valve 9 is greater than the lower force-bearing area of the upper chamber of the power spool valve 9, the power spool valve 9 moves upward.
[0071] The power slide valve 9 moves upward, eventually reaching the upper position. During this upward movement, the upper chamber formed by the power slide valve 9 and the power valve chamber 14 connects with the low-pressure channel inside the power slide valve 9. Therefore, this chamber is connected through the low-pressure pipeline inside the power slide valve 9 and the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8 inside the impact piston guide sleeve 24, thus connecting the high-pressure drilling fluid and the drilling fluid outlet. The drilling fluid in the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 enters the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8 through the sixth hydraulic line 25. Because the lower chamber of the impact piston 23 is always under high pressure, the impact piston 23 moves upward, eventually reaching the upper position.
[0072] During the upward movement of the impact piston 23, the fifth hydraulic line 6 is closed, and the seventh hydraulic line 7, which is open at the lower part of the guide sleeve 24 of the impact piston 23, connects with the low-pressure channel inside the impact piston 23. The drilling fluid in the lower chamber of the power valve 9 flows through the fifth hydraulic line 6 to the seventh hydraulic line 7, and finally flows from the seventh hydraulic line 7 to the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8, and then flows out from the high-pressure drilling fluid outlet 8. At this time, the lower chamber of the power valve 9 is in a low-pressure state, while the upper chamber of the power valve 9 is in a high-pressure state. However, the lower force-bearing area of the upper chamber of the power valve 9 is greater than the upper force-bearing area, resulting in a downward net force on the power valve 9, causing the power valve 9 to move to the lower position.
[0073] During the downward movement of the power slide valve 9, the seventh hydraulic line 7 remains connected. The upper chamber of the impact piston 23 is filled with high-pressure drilling fluid from the first hydraulic line 2, and this fluid enters directly into the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 through the second hydraulic line 3, which consists of the power valve chamber and the power valve chamber sleeve 15. Since the area of the upper chamber of the impact piston 23 is larger than the area of the lower chamber, the impact piston 23 moves downward, eventually reaching its lower position. After the impact piston 23 moves downward, the hydraulic impact hammer system returns to the initial state where both the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9 are in the lower position, thus realizing the reciprocating cyclic motion of the impact piston 23 and the power slide valve 9, thereby completing the continuous impact of the impact piston 23 on the drill bit.
[0074] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
