An exemplary embodiment of the jet hammer includes an outer sleeve, impact assembly, and a valve assembly. The impact assembly is positioned in sliding relation to the outer sleeve to provide the impact of the jet hammer. The valve assembly generally comprises a cap screw, adjustment sleeve, valve port, inner compression spring, outer compression spring, and lock nut. The inner compression spring is relatively less compressible than the outer compression spring. In operation, fluid enters the valve assembly and acts on the compression springs forming an operational seal between the valve assembly and the impact assembly. In response, the outer sleeve is slidingly displaced from the impact assembly thereby compressing a main compression spring positioned along the mandrel shaft. Once the pressure acting on the valve assembly is released, the main compression spring decompresses forcefully causing the outer sleeve to impact a connection port, bit, tool, or other member attached to the upper end of the mandrel. This impact is translated onto the obstruction or item to be struck. The impact assembly may also be capable of rotational movement with respect to the outer sleeve wherein the mandrel shaft may contain at least one rotation nozzle thereon. The rotation nozzles allow for fluid communication from the mandrel's internal bore, through the nozzles, and against the proximate inner wall of the outer sleeve. This interaction causes the mandrel, and by connection the connection port, bit, tubing, or tool attached thereto, to rotate during the downward stroke of the hammer. Rotation nozzles may be located on the connection port and/or bit for additional rotational force.

The invention relates to a machining fixture, and discloses a special fixture for processing an outer circle of a long-cylinder part. Guide sleeves, taper sleeves and lock nuts are mounted at the two ends of a central spindle of the special fixture symmetrically and sequentially from inside to outside; the guide sleeves are in large-small end structures; the small ends of the guide sleeves are fixed with the central spindle by set screws; through holes are formed in casings at the large ends of the guide sleeves; ejection blocks are arranged in the through holes; cambered surfaces and grooves are arranged and formed at the outer ends of the ejection blocks; taper surfaces are arranged at the inner ends of the ejection blocks; cones of the taper sleeves eject the taper surfaces of the ejection blocks; and annular springs are mounted around the grooves of the ejection blocks. According to the special fixture, radial ejection block ejecting workpieces are added on the basis of axial clamping; radial motion during the processing of the outer circles of the workpieces is avoided; the centering precision is high; with the adoption of the matched design of the guide sleeves and the taper sleeves, and added shaft sleeves, centering clamping can be adjusted conveniently according to the length and an inner hole of the long-cylinder part; and the generality of the tool fixture for processing the outer circle of the long-cylinder part is improved.

A self-locking nut comprises a slotted nut and a locking nut and is assembled by complementary asymmetrical threading. After the locking nut is threaded onto the neck of the slotted nut, the assembled self-locking nut turns freely as it is threaded onto the shaft of a bolt. Once the forward face of the slotted nut contacts the material being fastened, additional turns clamp the material to the desired torque. Now, when additional torque is applied to the locking nut, its internal thread slides forward along the shallow incline of the asymmetrical external thread on the neck of the slotted nut, thereby exerting a compressive radial force on the slotted neck.

The compressive radial force contracts the slots of the slotted nut, thus constricting the circumference of the slotted nut around the bolt shaft. As the slotted nut constricts, the female crests of its internal threads are forced more tightly against the male crests of the external threads of the bolt shaft, thereby locking the female threads of the slotted neck to the male threads of the bolt. This produces a strong 360-degree mechanical metal-to-metal connection, and does not damage or deform the threads of the bolt.
