A fluid actuated percussion rock drill comprising a hollow wear sleeve and a piston slidingly disposed within the wear sleeve. Drive and return pressure surfaces bias the piston between drive and return positions, respectively. A high pressure port is included. A return chamber is exposed to the return pressure surface. A drive chamber is exposed to the drive pressure surface. A pressure sensitive valve is movable between an open and a closed position. When the valve is in the open position, the high pressure port is connected to the drive chamber. The valve includes a first valve pressure surface for exposure to the drive chamber and a second pressure surface for exposure to the high pressure port. A third valve pressure surface is exposed to an outlet pressure port. The volume of fluid travels between the high pressure port and the drive chamber when the valve is in an open position can be limited as desired for different drill applications. The use of the valve to control the high pressure into the drive chamber also results in a condition which is most desirable in a rock drill. The condition allows the high pressure port to be disconnected to the drive chamber for most of the piston return stroke, but to stay connected for most of the piston drive stroke. |
