3. Open-air drilling rig: according to the different working mechanism of crushing ore and rock, it is divided into steel rope percussion drill, drilling rig, cone drill and rotary drill. Because of low efficiency, the steel rope percussion drill has been gradually replaced by other drilling RIGS. The drill pipe drives the pneumatic impactor and the drill bit to rotate together, and the piston of the pneumatic impactor is used to impact the drill bit to break the ore and rock, which is usually used in small and medium-sized mines to drill holes with a diameter of 80 to 250 mm.

The DTH hammer operates through a system of compressed air. High-pressure air is directed down the drill string, powering the hammer at the end of the drill bit. The hammer strikes the bit with considerable force, fracturing the rock immediately beneath it. As the bit penetrates further, the broken rock is then cleared from the hole by the same air stream, allowing for continuous drilling without the interruptions often associated with other drilling methods.

A DTH hammer is a type of percussion drilling tool that functions by delivering a series of rapid impacts to the drill bit, which then breaks the rock or other materials beneath the surface. The term down-the-hole refers to the hammer being placed directly above the drill bit, allowing the energy from the hammer to be transferred efficiently into the drill bit. This method enhances the speed and effectiveness of drilling operations, particularly in hard rock formations.
