Definitions
- the present invention relates to a percussion or hammer drill which is operated by a motor driven gear unit which comprises first gear elements for effecting the rotary movement of the drilling tool and second gear elements for reciprocating a striker in the axial direction of the tool so as to exert impacts upon the drilling tool.
- the known machines of this type have the disadvantage that, when operating such a machine with a drilling tool of a large diameter, the reduction in speed of the motor caused by the greater load also results in a considerable reduction of the frequency of the impacts of the striker upon the tool and also of the speed of rotation of the tool. Although when using a tool of a larger diameter a lower speed of rotation of this tool is usually desirable, the simultaneous reduction of the frequency of the impacts of the striker upon the tool reduces the drilling efficiency and the output of the machine. These known machines also do not permit the speed of rotationofthe drilling tool to be adjusted in accordance with different kinds and degrees of hardness of the materials to be worked upon.
- the present invention provides that the ratio between the speed of rotation of the drilling tool and the frequency of the impacts of the striker upon this tool is adjustable, preferably by control means which may be operated on the outside of the machine. Since it is desirable that the frequency of the impacts upon the tool remains constant, the invention provides a percussion or hammer drill which comprises a gear which is driven by a pinion on a motor shaft and carries a crankpin for reciprocating a cylinder containing a piston which carries the striker.
- the frequency of this striker upon the drilling tool remains constant and the machine is provided with a change-speed gear which is driven by a first shaft carrying the gear with'the crankpin and is adjustable by simple control means at the outside of the machine so as to permit the drilling tool to be rotated at different speeds.
- the first shaft is for this purpose provided with at least three gears and a second shaft with a pinion and at least two additional gears of different diameters adjacent to each other and meshing with two of the gears on the first shaft.
- the second shaft is made of a tubular shape and contains a control rod and a compression spring which acts upon the control rod in its axial direction so that its end which projects from the second shaft presses against an adjustable cam.
- the control rod is provided with a pin which extends transversely to its axis and projects through and is slidable along elongated slots in the wall of the second shaft.
- this pin engage into diametrically opposite recesses in the walls of the central bores of the two gears on this second shaft, and depending upon the adjustment of the control means and of the control pin within the tubular second shaft, this pin connects either one or the other gear to this shaft so as to drive the same at one speed or another.
- the machine may be made of a flat shape by providing this cover at one side above the cylinder with an extension containing an aperture for receiving the bearing of the crankpin.
- this cylinder is located concentrically within and slidable along the inner wall of a guide tube.
- This guide tube carries on its upper end a rim of bevel teeth which are in engagement with the bevel pinion on the second shaft, while the other end of this guide tube carries a tool holder which is adapted to receive a drilling tool.
- the guide tube is rotatably mounted in needle or roller bearings.
- the machine comprises a drive pinion l on the shaft of an electric motor (not shown) which meshes with a gear 3 which is secured at one side to a first shaft 2 and carries on its other side a crankpin 4.
- a cover 5 which closes the upper end of a cylinder 6 is provided at one side with an upwardly projecting side wall 7 which has an oblong recess 8 in which the needle bearing 45 for the crankpin 4 is slidably mounted.
- Cylinder 6 the wall of which is provided with an aperture 10 contains a striker piston 9 which is adapted to reciprocate in its axial direction within this cylinder and carries a striker 11 which projects through and is guided by the downwardly projecting neck-shaped bottom 12 of cylinder 6.
- the lower end of guide sleeve 13 is closed by tool holder 17 which is mounted within a ball bearing 19 in the housing 16 and is adapted to receive a drilling tool 18.
- the first shaft 2 which is rotatably mounted in a pair of needle bearings 20 and 21 in the housing 16 carries near the center of its length two gears 22 and 23 of different diameters or a larger number of different gears if the gear unit is designed for more than two speeds.
- These gears 22 and 23 which are rigidly secured to the shaft 2 mesh with the gears 25 and 26 which are rotatably mounted on a second shaft 24 which has a tubular shape.
- a control rod 27 is axially slidable which is pressed by a compression spring 28 against a cup-shaped cam member 29 the peripheral wall of which varies in height.
- This cam member 29 is secured to or integral with a short shaft 31 which is rotatably mounted in a cover 30 and carries on its end a control knob 32 which is provided with a locking device consisting of a ball 34 which is acted upon by a compression spring 33 and is adapted to engage into one or another of a plurality of shallow recesses 35 in the cover 30. Transversely to its axis 36, the
- control rod 27 carries a pin 37 the opposite ends of which project through diametrically opposite longitudinal slots 38 in the wall of the tubular shaft 24 and are adapted to engage into grooves 39 in one or the other gear 25 and 26.
- the sides of gears 25 and 26 facing each other are each provided with an annular recess 40 or 41 so that, when pin 37 is located centrally between the two gears, these gears may rotate freely without taking along the second shaft 24 which is rotatably mounted near its opposite ends within needle bearings 42 and 43 in parts of the housing 16.
- the closed end of the second shaft 24 forms a bevel pinion 44 which meshes with the bevel gear teeth 14 on the upper end of guide sleeve 13.
- the drive pinion 1 on the shaft of the motor drives the gear 3 whereby the crankpin 4 which projects from this gear and is mounted in the needle bearing 45 in the cover of cylinder 6 reciprocates the latter together with the striker 9 in the direction of the axis 46.
- the needle bearing 45 is for this purpose slidably mounted in an oblong recess 8 of cover 5 so as to be able to oscillate vertically to the axis 46 and to the plane of the drawing.
- piston 9then reciprocates in the direction of the axis 46 and its striker 11 thereby hits against the upper end of the tool 18 if the latter projects sufficiently into an axial bore 49 in the tool holder 17.
- the gears 25 and 26 are driven at different speeds in accordance with their different diameters.
- the second shaft 24 will be driven either at a higher or lower speed. If pin 37 is located in its central position and thus in the adjacent annular recesses 40 and 41 in gears 25 and 26, the second shaft 24 will not be driven. Pin 37 may be adjusted from the outside to the desired positions by turning the control knob 32 and the cam member 29 thereon. Tool 18 will then be rotated at one speed or the other by the bevel pinion 44 on shaft 24, the rim of bevel teeth 14 on guide sleeve 13, and the tool holder 17.
- the advantages which are attained by the present invention are due particularly to the fact that the speed of rotation of the drilling tool may be adjusted so as to be the most suitable depending upon the type and degree of hardness of the material to be worked upon and upon the diameter of the tool.
- the machine according to the invention has the further advantage that it is of a very'simple and sturdy construction and capable of withstanding rough treatment.
