Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic hammer device technology, and more specifically to a novel pneumatic hammer device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pneumatic impact hammers are a widely used advanced powder discharge device both domestically and internationally. Their working principle involves using compressed air as power to instantly release and push the internal hammerhead to strike the bottom, transmitting a powerful impact to the hopper wall. This effectively breaks up material bridging, loosening accumulated material and ensuring smooth ash discharge. They are used to automatically prevent powder from adhering, clogging, and bridging in pipelines, hoppers, and silos, and are widely applied in powder processing industries such as chemical, food, cement, pharmaceutical, and plastics.

[0003] However, the aforementioned existing technologies still have some drawbacks. Problems such as low compressed air transmission efficiency and turbulent airflow lead to significant energy loss, resulting in increased power consumption and insufficient impact force. Utility Model Content

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This embodiment discloses a novel pneumatic hammer device, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a pneumatic hammer body 1, which comprises a top cover 2 and a shell 3. The shell 3 has a through-hole 31. The top cover 2 has an air inlet 21 connecting to the central cavity 31. The central cavity 31 has a corresponding spindle 311. The shell 3 has an air outlet connecting to the central cavity 31, located near the bottom surface of the shell 3. The shell 3 also has an air chamber 32 connected to the central cavity 31. An elastic pad 4 for compensating for pressure changes within the air chamber 32 is disposed within the air chamber 32. The elastic pad 4 is adapted to the air chamber 32 and includes a fixed layer 41 and a movable layer 42. The elastic pad 4 can convert some of the pressure into stored elastic potential energy. When the pressure within the chamber fluctuates or decreases, the elastic pad 4 adaptively releases its potential energy to compensate for the pressure within the air chamber 32 and maintain stable pressure.

[0018] Further improvements include the following: the active layer 42 comprises an annular main plate 421 and several annular auxiliary plates 422. The annular main plate 421 and the annular auxiliary plates 422 support the elastic pad 4. The annular main plate 421 and the annular auxiliary plates 422 are connected by a flexible material 423, and adjacent annular auxiliary plates 422 are also connected by a flexible material 423. The annular auxiliary plates 422 are evenly distributed on the inner and outer sides of the annular main plate 421, making the cross-section of the active layer 42 arched under normal conditions. The flexible material 423 allows relative rotation between the annular main plate 421 and the annular auxiliary plates 422, and between adjacent annular auxiliary plates 422. The interaction between the main plate and the auxiliary plates increases the mobility of the active layer 42, allowing the active layer 42 to obtain more deformation under pressure, thereby accumulating more potential energy for compensation.

[0019] Further improvements include a mounting groove on the fixing layer 41, located near the annular main plate 421, and a spring A411 positioned within the mounting groove. The spring A411, positioned within the mounting groove, provides stable contact and support to the annular main plate 421, ensuring that the accumulation and release of its elastic potential energy are effectively applied to the annular main plate 421. When the pressure in the air chamber 32 increases, the spring A411 contracts under pressure, accumulating potential energy; when the pressure in the air chamber 32 decreases, it effectively lifts the annular main plate 421, releasing the accumulated potential energy.

[0020] To further improve the design, the upper cover 2 has a positioning protrusion A22 on its mating surface, and the outer shell 3 has a groove A33 that corresponds to the upper cover 2. The positioning protrusion A22 and the groove A33 cooperate to achieve precise positioning, reducing the risk of misalignment during assembly. The upper cover 2 has symmetrical positioning protrusions B23, which will lock the outer shell 3 during installation to prevent the upper cover 2 from deflecting from the outer shell 3, reducing vibration or external force interference, and improving the stability of the present invention.

[0021] Further improvements include a transfer sleeve 5 provided in the central cavity 31, located near the upper cover 2, and equipped with a fixing ring for secure fixation. The transfer sleeve 5 controls the compressed air flow rate, optimizes airflow distribution, avoids excessively high or low local pressure, and improves the working stability of the air hammer. The transfer sleeve 5 can also absorb some of the vibration and impact forces during operation, protecting the internal structure of the air hammer and reducing fatigue damage.

[0022] Further improvements include a wear-resistant sleeve 7 between the mandrel 311 and the outer shell 3, covering easily worn parts of the air hammer, such as the hammer head; this significantly reduces mechanical wear through high hardness and a low coefficient of friction. The mandrel 311 is equipped with a return spring B6. The return spring B6 assists the mandrel 311, shortening its reset time.

[0023] Working principle of this utility model

[0024] In operation, the air inlet is connected to an air pump interface. High-speed airflow enters the central cavity 31 through the air pump interface. The air pressure in the central cavity 31 increases continuously with the increase of incoming gas. When the air pressure increases to a certain limit, it will push the elastic pad 4 to move, causing the spring A411 to deform under pressure and accumulate elastic potential energy. When the air pressure in the cavity increases to a pressure greater than that of the return spring B6, the air pressure will push the spindle 311 to move. When the spindle 311 is pushed, the air pressure in the cavity will drop rapidly with the movement of the spindle 311. When the air pressure drops, the spring A411 will release the accumulated potential energy, arching the elastic pad 4 and reducing the volume of the air chamber 32. This compensates for the reduced air pressure in the air chamber 32, reduces the air pressure fluctuation in the air chamber 32, stabilizes the working air pressure of this invention, and reduces energy loss.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
