Impact System Dynamic Characteristics of Hydraulic Rock Drill Based on an Overlapped Reversing Valve

For the phenomenon of a hydraulic rock drill based on an underlapped reversing valve, the mechanical structure of the overlapped reversing form was proposed, which affected the pressure pulsation of the impact system, and motion of the impact piston was analyzed. The model of a hydraulic rock drill was built based on Newton’s laws. The initial lead size of the reversing point was calculated by the equilibrium position of the damping piston and final velocity of the impact piston. The size of the overlapped reversing valve was designed and the best impact interval was calculated, according to pressure characteristic curves in the piston of the front-rear chamber and in the reversing valve of the left-right chamber, and the damping piston floating feature had an impact on initial lead size of the reversing point. The advantages of the overlapped reversing valve were analyzed, by contrasting the pressure pulsation of the impact system and motion of the impact piston with the underlapped reversing valve. The inner mechanism experiment of the hydraulic rock drill was designed to test the pressure characteristic curves in the piston of the front-rear chamber and in the reversing valve of the left-right chamber. The model of the overlapped reversing valve was verified by the experiment
