[0021] A high-pressure oil cavity a1 is formed between the inner space of the shell 2 and the automatic valve body 3, and an oil inlet a2 is formed in the side of the shell 2 and is in communication with the high-pressure oil cavity a1.

[0022] The inner space of the impact piston 1 and the automatic valve core 5 forms an upper cavity a4.

[0023] The shaft body of the impact piston 1 and the inner groove of the flow cylinder 8 form a first oil groove b1, a second oil groove b2, a lower cavity a5, a buffer groove b3 and a third oil groove b4 from top to bottom.

[0024] A low-pressure oil passage c1 is formed in the left side of the flow cylinder 8; a high-pressure oil passage c2 is formed in the right side of the flow cylinder 8 and is in communication with the high-pressure oil cavity a1 in the shell 2, and the low-pressure oil passage c1 is in communication with the first oil groove b1 and the third oil groove b4 respectively; the high-pressure oil passage c2 is in communication with the second oil groove b2 and the lower cavity a5 respectively.

[0025] The small top pin 4 and the large top pin 6 have different diameter guide sections and are coaxially arranged in the corresponding sliding grooves of the automatic valve body 3 and the flow cylinder 8, the lower end surface of the small top pin 4 is in contact with the upper valve body of the automatic valve core 5, and the upper end surface of the large top pin 6 is in contact with the lower valve body of the automatic valve core 5, forming a bidirectional pushing structure.

[0026] The inner wall of the flow cylinder 8 is provided with an axially extending buffer groove b3, which cooperates with the lower protrusion of the impact piston 1 before the piston goes down to the lower stop point, forming a hydraulic damping buffer structure.

[0027] The first U-shaped sealing ring 11 and the second U-shaped sealing ring 13 are respectively located at both ends of the vertical stroke of the impact piston 1, and the sealing lips of both face the high-pressure side, forming a bidirectional pressure-activated sealing structure.

[0028] The working principle of the hydraulic down-the-hole drill impact piston reversing structure described above is as follows: Step 1: After piston 1 completes its downward strike, it reaches the bottom dead center, triggering the return stroke and reversal; piston 1 completes one downward strike and is at its lowest point, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, high-pressure oil enters the lower cavity a5 through high-pressure oil passage c2; simultaneously, the high-pressure oil enters the second oil groove b2 on the flow cylinder 8 and acts on the bottom of the top pin 6; as... Figure 3 As shown, the large top pin 6 moves upward under the action of oil pressure, lifting the automatic valve core 5 and switching it to the return position; after the valve core reverses, the upper chamber a4 is separated from the high-pressure oil and connected to the low-pressure oil circuit c1, so that high-pressure oil enters the lower chamber a5 of the piston and return oil flows through the upper chamber a4; under the action of the pressure difference between the upper and lower chambers, the piston 1 begins to move upward to achieve the return stroke; Step 2: Piston 1 moves upward under hydraulic drive, approaching top dead center; the movement of the piston 1 shoulder changes the connection between the oil grooves; such as... Figure 4 As shown, when piston 1 approaches top dead center, the second oil groove b2, which previously supplied oil to the large top pin 6, disconnects from the high-pressure oil circuit c2 and instead connects to the low-pressure oil circuit c1; this releases the pressure at the bottom of the large top pin 6, and its upward force pushing the valve core disappears; simultaneously, high-pressure oil acts on the top of the small top pin 4 through another oil passage; as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the small top pin 4 moves downward under the action of high pressure oil, pushing the automatic valve core 5 to move downward again to switch positions; the upper cavity a4 is connected to the high pressure oil circuit c2, and the lower cavity a5 is connected to the high pressure oil circuit c2. Step 3: High-speed downward impact and buffering of piston 1; High-pressure oil enters the upper cavity a4 of piston 1, and piston 1 obtains extremely high acceleration under the action of huge pressure difference, making downward impact motion; Piston 1 strikes the chisel at high speed, completing the impact work; At the end of the impact stroke, the boss at the lower end of piston 1 enters the specially set third oil groove b4 in the flow cylinder 8; The boss of piston 1 squeezes the hydraulic oil in the buffer groove b3, generating a strong throttling damping effect, so that the piston decelerates smoothly, effectively avoiding rigid impact and protecting the equipment.

[0029] This invention provides an improved hydraulic down-the-hole drill impact piston reversing structure. By using a combination of large and small top pins, a longer sealing surface is achieved, significantly improving the sealing effect. Furthermore, the top pin oil hole does not directly contact the valve core sliding surface, structurally reducing internal leakage paths. At the same time, the top pin oil passage diameter is significantly larger than that of traditional signal holes, greatly reducing the risk of oil impurities clogging the system and enhancing the reliability of the system under harsh operating conditions.
