SOLID AND FROZEN GROUND CUTTING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mining industry, particularly gas-dynamic devices for layered ground cutting.

SUBSTANCE: device has hollow rod body of central ripper kinematically connected to discharge bush coaxially thereto, screw bit body connected to discharge bush coaxially thereto, vertical guiding shafts to be secured to the base machine frame. Corbels are connected to guiding shafts so that corbels may perform longitudinal movement. Corbels have bushings for connecting thereof with guiding shafts. Device also has protective shield with central orifice for hollow rod body passage, valves to control delivery of compressed air and pipelines for compressed air supplying from source to gas distribution mechanism formed as the main operative chamber secured to upper end of hollow rod body and having hollow tail inserted in through central orifice of annular body rigidly connected to corbels. Annular body has central upper annular channel with radial channels and central lower annular channel with radial channels. Annular body may perform limited axial displacement inside discharge bush and may cooperate with lower end of valve rod body to establish communication between annular gap defined by rod body and central supply pipe, and exhaust orifices of discharge bush. Annular body comprises control chamber and central feeding pipe arranged into the control chamber, spring for valve pressing to lower end of rod body of central ripper. The device is provided with four additional gas-dynamic rippers with tails installed in through coaxial orifices formed in the annular body. Upper coaxial channel with radial channels and lower coaxial channel with radial orifices are formed around each through coaxial channel. One upper coaxial annular channel communicates through said valve with pipeline for compressed air supplying from the source and communicates with operative chamber by means of radial channels formed in annular body and through radial channels and inner cavity of the tail. Each other upper coaxial annular channel communicates with central upper annular channel through radial channels in annular body. One of the lower coaxial annular channels communicates with pipeline supplying for compressed air through the valve and with valve control chamber by means of radial channels made in annular body through annular groove created in the tail and through central supplying pipe to establish communication between annular gap defined by rod body of additional ripper and central supplying pipe, and exhaust orifices in discharge bush. Each other lower coaxial annular channel communicates with central lower annular channel through radial channels of annular body.

EFFECT: increased output.
