PNEUMATIC PERCUSSION DEVICE WITH THROTTLING AIR DISTRIBUTION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC E21C37/00 B25D9/14 

FIELD: percussion mining and construction machines, particularly methods or devices for dislodging with or without loading.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises supply-line air chamber, switching device, which initiates compressed air delivery to supply-line air chamber, hollow cylinder, striker, which divides cylinder interior into idle and working stroke chambers and lid installed at cylinder end from working stroke chamber side. The lid has rim supporting rim of cup so that supply-line air chamber is created in-between. Device also has pipe arranged in lid orifice and provided with permanently opened inlet throttle channel communicated with idle stroke chamber. The inlet throttle channel connects supply-line air chamber with idle stroke chamber. Lid also has annular inlet throttle channel providing flow inlet in working stroke chamber and defined by pipe side wall and lid orifice. Device also comprises accumulation chamber permanently communicated with working stroke chamber through radial bypass channel in cylinder, discharge channels formed in side cylinder walls and working tool with stem. Blind augmenter is located in cylinder wall from the side of idle stroke chamber. The augmenter is permanently communicated with supply-line air chamber by means of radial augment channel made in cylinder body. Distance between distributing augment channel edge section and discharge channel is less than striker travel.

EFFECT: increased impact force to be applied to substance to be worked.
