Role of the impact piston in the rock drill

In a rock drill, the impact piston is a key component used to generate impact force. Its role mainly has the following aspects:

Rock breaking: The rock drill produces high-frequency, high-energy impact force by impacting the piston, and transmits the impact energy to the chisel head or chisel bit to make it impact and break the rock. The movement of the percussion piston creates a shock wave that transfers the percussion energy to the gouging head, breaking the rock into smaller particles or fragments.

Removal of cuttings: During the rock drilling process, the impact force of the impact piston can also help to remove broken rock fragments or cuttings out of the drilling hole by vibrating and impacting the rock, so as to ensure the smooth drilling of the drilling hole.

Support frame: The impact piston is generally installed on the frame of the rock drill as a key component for supporting and fixing the frame. It transmits the impact energy to the chisel head to achieve continuous and stable rock drilling operations.

Adjust impact frequency and energy: The design structure and working parameters of the impact piston, such as stroke, frequency and impact force, etc., can be adjusted and controlled according to the specific rock properties and rock drilling requirements. By adjusting the working parameters of the impact piston, the requirements of different rock drilling tasks can be realized. For example, when drilling hard rock and soft rock, the impact frequency and impact force can be adjusted to achieve the best effect.

In short, the impact piston is an important part of the rock drill. By generating impact force and energy, it can break rocks, remove cuttings, and achieve stable and efficient rock drilling operations.
