Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drilling rigs, in particular to a reinforced down-the-hole drilling rig buffer. Background Art

[0002] The buffer of a down-the-hole drill is a necessary protective structure for buffering the vibration generated by an impact hammer and protecting the drill pipe. For example, patent No. 201220481446.7 discloses a down-the-hole drill buffer, which includes a casing, a piston rod and a piston. The upper end of the casing is connected to the end cover, and the lower end of the casing is connected to the lower joint of the drill pipe. The casing mainly plays the role of piston buffer by delivering high-pressure gas. However, with the advancement of construction engineering technology, the holes need to be drilled deeper and deeper, and the propulsion force required by down-the-hole drills is getting greater and greater, while the gas pressure delivered by this type of buffer is limited, resulting in insufficient gas pressure at the bottom of the piston rod when it is actually used in large down-the-hole drills, making it easy for the piston rod to directly hit the casing, affecting the service life of the buffer. Utility Model Content

[0004] By adopting the above technical solution, the piston rod and the lower joint are respectively connected to the power head and impact hammer of the drilling rig, and the high-pressure gas is transported to the impact hammer through the center hole and the air vent, and a spring sheet is installed between the lower joint and the piston rod. On the basis of the original pneumatic buffer structure, the spring sheet is added to enhance the impact resistance of the buffer, and the spring sheets with different stiffness coefficients are replaced according to different tonnages. It is suitable for large down-the-hole drilling rigs.

[0005] The utility model is further configured such that the piston rod is respectively provided with an external connection portion, a cylindrical portion, a piston portion and an external hexagonal portion from top to bottom, the end cover is slidably connected with the cylindrical portion, the sleeve is provided with an inner cavity and an internal hexagonal groove respectively matched with the piston portion and the external hexagonal portion, and the two ends of the spring sheet are respectively abutted against the external hexagonal portion and the lower joint.

[0006] Furthermore, the end cover is provided with a first sealing ring, the cylindrical part is sealed and connected to the end cover via the first sealing ring, and the piston part is provided with a second sealing ring, and the piston part is sealed and connected to the inner cavity via the second sealing ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the piston rod is provided with a slide groove coaxially distributed with the air vent tube, and the air vent tube is slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cross-sections of the external connecting part and the external hexagonal part of the piston rod are both regular hexagons, which transmit torque while the drill rod is advancing. There are three groups of first sealing rings axially distributed on the end cover, and four groups of second sealing rings axially distributed on the piston part. The first sealing rings and the second sealing rings are used to improve the air tightness of the piston structure.

[0009] The utility model is further configured such that the end cover and the lower joint are both provided with a mounting portion having the same outer diameter as the sleeve, the mounting portion is provided with connecting holes distributed in a circumference, both ends of the sleeve are provided with threaded holes corresponding to the connecting holes, and the end cover and the lower joint are threadedly connected to the two ends of the sleeve through the threaded holes.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the end cover and the lower joint are connected to the two ends of the sleeve by screw threads. Since the mounting portion has the same outer diameter as the sleeve, the overall appearance of the buffer is unified and the internal structure is compact.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] On the basis of the original piston structure, the buffer adds a spring sheet to improve the buffer's impact resistance. When the impact hammer is working and generates an impact, the piston rod moves toward the lower joint. While the piston rod is buffered by the high-pressure gas, the spring sheet is stressed and deformed, thereby improving the buffer's impact resistance and increasing the buffer's service life.
