Abstract

The invention provides a valveless hydraulic impact mechanism for connection to a tool for processing rock or concrete or both, wherein the position for the opening of the drainage channel is arranged along the cylinder bore so as to be opened and closed by a portion of the reciprocating strike piston, the position for the opening of the connection channel leading to the first drive chamber is arranged along the cylinder bore so as to be opened and closed by a portion of the reciprocating strike piston and the position for the opening of the connection channel leading to the second drive chamber is arranged in the first or second cylinder bore so as to be opened and closed by a portion of the reciprocating accumulator piston such that, with the aid of the strike piston during its motion in the first cylinder bore and the accumulator piston in the first cylinder bore or, if present, the second cylinder bore, at least the second drive chamber acquires periodically alternating pressure for the maintenance of the reciprocating piston motion, wherein the reciprocating strike and accumulator pistons hold the second drive chamber closed for the supply or drainage of driving medium present in the second drive chamber along a distance between the opening of the drainage channel in association with a first turning point of the strike piston and the opening of the connection channel in association with a second turning point of the strike piston, wherein the motion of the strike piston along the distance between the opening of the drainage channel in association with the first turning point of the strike piston and the opening of the connection channel in association with the second turning point of the strike piston takes place during compression of the volume of the accumulator compartment, wherein the magnitude of the volume of the accumulator compartment is adapted to obtain a slow change in pressure in the second drive chamber along the distance between the channel openings and wherein the strike piston and accumulator piston are solely in fluid communication such that the strike piston and accumulator piston do not make direct contact during operation of the mechanism.
