Working Process of Dth Drilling Machines
This drilling rig is a compound-powered machine that combines electric and compressed air energy. The power for rotating the drill bit comes from the electric motor, while the impact force for the hammer is generated by compressed air. The electric motor converts electrical energy into rotational torque, which is transmitted to the reducer, causing the drill rod connected to the output shaft of the reducer to rotate. The alloy teeth at the front of the hammer repeatedly impact and break the rock, with debris being expelled through exhaust holes, while the axial force from the drive cylinder pushes the drill bit into the rock.
