Air supplying method for cluster hammer having nozzles installed

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for supplying air to a cluster hammer in which a nozzle has been installed. An air distribution block 1 including an air distribution nozzle 3 formed therein is disposed under an air inlet cover 4 of the cluster hammer, into which air is introduced. The hammers 10 are disposed under the air distribution block 1 respectively. Compressed air which has passed through the air distribution nozzle 3 is supplied to each of the hammers 10, and then the hammer 10 is operated. Even when the hammer 10 installed in the cluster hammer is in a flushing position, the cluster hammer is smoothly operated without creating the problems in the operation of the other hammers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for supplying air to a cluster hammer in which two or more hammers ( 10 ) have been combined,
 wherein an air distribution block ( 1 ) comprising an air distribution nozzle ( 3 ) formed therein is disposed under an air inlet cover ( 4 ) of the cluster hammer, into which air is introduced,   wherein the hammers ( 10 ) are disposed under the air distribution block ( 1 ) respectively,   wherein compressed air which has passed through the air distribution nozzle ( 3 ) is supplied to each of the hammers ( 10 ), and then the hammer ( 10 ) is operated,   and wherein even when the hammer ( 10 ) installed in the cluster hammer is in a flushing position, the cluster hammer is smoothly operated without creating a problem in the operation of the other hammers.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein water is used as a working fluid instead of the compressed air.
