Hydraulic Hammering Device Acceleration Piston Stroke
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hydraulic hammering devices face a trade-off between increasing hammering frequency and maintaining hammering power, as shortening the piston stroke to enhance frequency results in decreased piston speed and overall power output.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an acceleration piston that comes into contact with the main piston during its retreat stroke, providing additional thrust through pressurized oil, which shortens the retreat stroke and accelerates the advancing operation, thereby improving power without reducing hammering energy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the piston stroke is shortened to increase hammering frequency, then hammering frequency increases, but piston speed decreases and overall power output decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The piston stroke is segmented into two distinct phases: advance stroke and retreat stroke. The advance stroke maintains sufficient length to preserve hammering energy and power, while the retreat stroke is shortened through the urging means to increase hammering frequency. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, resolving the contradiction between frequency and power output.
Solution Approach 2:
The urging means is introduced to dynamically control the retreat stroke duration. By applying urging force during the retreat phase, the piston returns to its starting position more quickly, increasing the overall hammering frequency without compromising the advance stroke characteristics that determine power output.
2Productivity
If the piston stroke is shortened to enhance hammering frequency, then hammering frequency increases, but the energy per stroke decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The stroke is divided into advance and retreat phases, with only the retreat phase being shortened. The advance stroke maintains its original length to preserve energy per stroke, while the retreat stroke duration is reduced to increase frequency. This selective segmentation resolves the contradiction between frequency and energy per stroke.
Solution Approach 2:
The urging means prepares the piston for the next advance stroke by accelerating the retreat phase. This preliminary action during the retreat stroke ensures the piston is ready to initiate the next power-generating advance stroke more quickly, increasing frequency without reducing the energy available in each advance stroke.
3Productivity
If the urging means is added to shorten retreat stroke, then hammering frequency increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The urging means is merged with the existing hydraulic system by utilizing the same pressurized oil supply. The urging force is generated through the existing hydraulic pressure, eliminating the need for separate actuators or power sources. This integration minimizes additional complexity while achieving the desired frequency increase.
Solution Approach 2:
The hydraulic system serves dual purposes: it provides pressure for the advance stroke through the pressure-receiving area difference and simultaneously provides urging force for the retreat stroke through the urging means. This self-service approach allows the existing system to enhance frequency without requiring external additions, thereby limiting complexity increase.
