The GSE QL-N DTH Hammer, as depicted, is engineered with a robust and streamlined structure designed for maximum efficiency and durability in down-the-hole drilling. Its primary components work in synergy to deliver powerful impacts to the drill bit, facilitating rapid rock penetration.
- Top Sub (Shank Adaptor): This is the upper threaded connection, visible at the top of the hammer in the image, which connects the hammer to the drill pipe. It is designed to withstand significant rotational and percussive forces.
- Outer Cylinder (Casing): The main body of the hammer, a thick-walled steel tube, encloses all the internal components. Its robust construction protects the internal mechanisms from external wear and pressure, while also containing the high-pressure air.
- Piston (Internal): Not visible externally but crucial, the piston reciprocates within the hammer, driven by compressed air, delivering powerful blows to the drill bit.
- Chuck (Bit Holder): Located at the bottom of the hammer, this component securely holds the DTH drill bit in place and transfers the impact energy from the piston to the bit. It also directs exhaust air for cuttings evacuation.
- Side Ports/Splines (Internal): While not explicitly visible, the chuck often features internal splines that mate with the bit shank, allowing for rotational movement of the bit while receiving axial impacts.
- Air Inlet/Outlet Passages (Internal): The hammer’s design includes internal passages for the high-pressure air to enter, drive the piston, and then exit through the bit face for hole cleaning.
- Wear Sleeves/Wear Rings: Although not distinct in the image, DTH hammers typically incorporate wear-resistant components to protect the outer cylinder, especially in abrasive drilling conditions.
- Bottom Sub/Retaining Ring (for bit): The mechanism that secures the drill bit to the hammer, often a heavy-duty retaining ring that locks the bit shank into the chuck.
