Description

Blasting equipment

The present invention relates to a blasting apparatus capable of continuously performing surface treatment.

Blasting apparatuses are used in the field of surface treatments such as roughening, smoothing finishing, surface roughness adjustment, chamfering, deburring, and etching of workpieces. A blasting machine is generally used to introduce a workpiece, such as a shot or an abrasive, from a spray nozzle toward a workpiece after the workpiece is put into a blasting chamber having a space communicated with a dust collector via a classifier and a duct. Processing is performed by spraying a blasting medium (hereinafter referred to as “injection material”). The spray material and dust generated by blasting are carried out of the blasting chamber by the dust collector. Since the spray material and the dust adhere to the workpiece, for example, after blowing the compressed air onto the workpiece to remove them (air blow), the workpiece is taken out from the blasting chamber and blasted. Is completed. Blasting is generally performed by “starting the dust collector” → “putting the workpiece into the blasting chamber” → “injecting the injection material toward the workpiece (work surface)” → “stopping the injection of the injection material , Air blow "→" take out the workpiece from the blasting chamber "→" stop the dust collector ", that is, batch processing.

From the viewpoint of work efficiency, it is preferable to continuously put the workpiece into the blasting chamber without stopping the dust collector, that is, to perform continuous processing. As a blasting device that performs continuous processing, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a blasting device that can continuously feed a workpiece in one direction can be used (Patent Document 1). In the blasting apparatus as shown in FIG. 10, the workpiece W placed on the blasting conveyance apparatus 114 is carried into the blasting chamber 110 from the carry-in port 110 i provided on the side surface of the blasting chamber 110, and is a blasting nozzle. After blasting is performed by the blasting nozzle unit 111 provided with 112, it is provided on the opposite side surface and discharged from the discharge port 110o. At this time, an air blowing nozzle 113 for air blowing may be disposed in front of the discharge port 110o. Here, since the inside of the blast processing chamber 110 has a negative pressure, the injection material and the like do not leak to the outside from the carry-in port 110i and the discharge port 110o.

In the blasting apparatus as in Patent Document 1, blasting processing can be performed without having a complicated mechanism and operation, but the workpiece is conveyed to both the inlet side and the outlet side into the blasting chamber. Since it is necessary to arrange the apparatus, the blasting apparatus becomes large in the traveling direction of the workpiece W (left and right direction in FIG. 10).

As another example of a blasting apparatus capable of continuous processing, Patent Document 2 proposes a blasting apparatus that places a workpiece on a rotary table and performs blasting. In such a blasting apparatus, a rotation table as a rotation processing unit that rotatably holds a workpiece and a predetermined number of the rotation tables are placed and moved to a blasting region or a loading / unloading region. A revolving table as a revolving rotating part that rotates freely, and a predetermined number of the revolving tables surrounding the work piece and the revolving table are opened to the operator side for loading and unloading the work piece, and the rest The rotatory table is provided with a blasting chamber having a structure that is hermetically sealed in order to prevent blowout (leakage) of the spray material and dust.

In Patent Document 2, a workpiece placed on a revolving table (rotary table) via a rotation table moves a projection area and a workpiece loading / unloading area by rotation of the rotation table. Since the workpiece moves only within the range of the rotary table, the blasting apparatus can be downsized. However, as a means for preventing the spray material and dust from being blown out, it has been proposed to provide a partition for separating the workpieces, or to provide an open / close door that opens and closes as the rotary table rotates. However, in recent years, the demand for more precise processing is increasing in blast processing, and the case of using finer injection materials to perform precise processing is increasing. When a fine injection material is used, it is conceivable that a situation in which the above-described means for preventing blow-off is insufficient. Further, it is considered that the injection material and dust adhering to the workpiece and the rotary table cannot be sufficiently removed, and the injection material and dust may leak out of the blasting chamber due to the rotation of the rotary table. It is done.

Further, in Patent Document 2, it is assumed that an operator performs placement and removal of a workpiece on a rotary table (see paragraph 0005 of Patent Document 2), but the burden on the worker's work is reduced and blasting is performed. In order to handle fine powders, it is preferable to automatically insert and remove the workpiece from the viewpoint of the health of the operator.

And a vertical position adjuster for preventing it from being positioned further upward. (Fourth invention)

In the blast processing apparatus according to the first invention, an opening through which the holding member can pass may be formed in the partition wall. (Fifth invention)

In the blasting apparatus according to the fifth aspect of the invention, the opening may be closed by an opening closing means during blasting. (Sixth invention)

Further, in the blasting apparatus according to the sixth aspect, the opening closing means may be a closing member that is orthogonal to the columnar member and arranged radially. (Seventh invention)

Further, in the blasting apparatus according to the seventh invention, the columnar member may be connected to driving means, and the holding member and the opening closing means may be moved by the driving means. (Eighth invention)

In the blasting apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, the air blow nozzle may be arranged such that an angle formed between the nozzle nozzle and the surface to be processed is 5 ° to 90 °. (9th invention)

In the blasting apparatus according to the ninth aspect of the invention, the air blow nozzle has an angle formed by an injection port of the nozzle and a processing surface of 60 ° to 90 °, and the injection port and the processing surface. You may arrange | position so that a distance may become 5 mm or less. (Tenth invention)

In the blasting apparatus according to the ninth aspect of the present invention, the air blow region may include a vibration means for applying vibration to the workpiece. (Eleventh invention)

Further, in the blasting apparatus according to the first invention, the injection material replenishing means includes an inner wall portion into which the injection material is charged, and an outer wall portion that encloses the inner wall portion,
A space may be formed between the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion, and at least a part of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the space may be opened. (Twelfth invention)

Moreover, you may arrange | position an injection inhibiting member above the outer peripheral part of the said workpiece. (13th invention)

Further, the blasting apparatus according to the first invention may further include a mounting means for automatically mounting a workpiece on the holding member. (14th invention)

Further, in the blasting apparatus according to the fourteenth invention, the placing means includes a carrying part for carrying a workpiece and a conveying means for moving the carrying part up and down, and the carrying part is And a support member for supporting the workpiece, and a rotating member having one end connected to the transport means and capable of disposing the support member in the vicinity of the other end. (15th invention)

In the blasting apparatus according to the fifteenth aspect, the placing means may include at least two or more of the support portions. (Sixteenth invention)

Further, in the blasting apparatus according to the sixteenth invention, the placing means may operate so as to be rotatable around the intersection of the carrying portions, with the angle formed by the adjacent carrying portions being 90 °. . (Seventeenth invention)

The workpiece placed on the holding member rotates around the columnar member and moves in the space divided by the partition wall, so that the blasting and the placement / removal of the workpiece are continuously performed. Can do. In general, an injection material or dust adheres to a workpiece that has been subjected to blasting and a member that has held the workpiece. After the blasting process is completed, the spray material and dust adhering to the member are often removed by air blow or the like, but it is particularly difficult to completely remove the spray material and dust adhering to the member. When this is taken out of the blasting chamber, the adhering spray material and dust leak out of the blasting chamber. Since the holding member has a small surface area as compared with the case where the workpiece is placed on a rotating plate that is a flat plate as in the first invention, the amount of the spray material and the dust adhering to the holding member is reduced. Can be reduced. In addition, as in the second invention, by providing three types of areas, the workpiece passes in the order of “input / exit area” → “blast processing area” → “air blow area” → “input / exit area”. The blasting can be performed continuously. In this specification, the “loading / removing area” may be either the same area or a different area unless otherwise specified.
Moreover, since the surface area of the holding member can be further reduced, the amount of the spray material and the dust adhering to the holding member can be further reduced (third invention). In addition, as the mechanism for holding the workpiece, the workpiece can be held easily and reliably by adopting the structure described in the fourth invention.

When the workpiece is moved in the space divided by the partition walls, it is necessary to prevent the workpiece and the holding member from colliding with the partition walls. By adopting the structure as described in the fifth invention, it is not necessary to open the entire surface of the partition wall for each space, and it is possible to suppress the injection material from leaking from the blasting area to the other area. Can do. Further, it is desirable that the opening provided in the partition wall (hereinafter referred to as “partition opening”) has a mechanism that is closed during blasting (sixth invention). The member (closing member) for closing the opening in the mechanism is interlocked with the operation of the holding member, that is, the driving of the holding member and the closing member is driven by the driving means, so that the injection material can leak into different spaces with a simple structure. (Seventh and eighth inventions).

In the air blowing region, the air blowing nozzle is installed so that the angle formed between the nozzle injection port and the surface to be processed is 5 ° to 90 °, so that the injection material adhered to the workpiece and the holding member, and Dust can be efficiently removed by air blowing (9th invention). Also, depending on the shape of the workpiece and the purpose of removal, such as removing the propellant and dust adhering to the corners of the recesses in the workpiece having irregularities, the nozzle outlet and the workpiece surface And the distance between the nozzle nozzle and the surface to be processed can be 5 mm or less (tenth invention). Further, by applying vibration to the spray material and dust having a strong adhesive force, the adhesive force is weakened and removal by air blow becomes easy. Further, for example, the spray material and dust adhering to the corners formed by the holding member and the workpiece can be efficiently removed. The vibration may be transmitted to at least the workpiece, and may be added to only the workpiece or to both the workpiece and the holding member (11th invention).

When a part of the replenishing means for supplying the injection material is opened, there is a case where the injection material stored in the replenishing means or attached to the wall surface rises and scatters. With the structure as in the twelfth aspect of the invention, the suction force of the recovery device can be obtained from the opening formed above the replenishing means (hereinafter referred to as “replenishing means opening”). Even if the propellant tries to fly up, it is sucked and collected from the opening, so that it is possible to suppress the scattering of the propellant.

In blasting and air blowing, a blasting nozzle or an air blowing nozzle may be scanned in order to blast and air blow the entire workpiece. In order to process the end portion of the workpiece, it is necessary to perform processing and processing positions by the respective nozzles up to a space beyond the end portion. For this reason, since the blasting is performed also on the holding member positioned outside the outer periphery of the workpiece, the holding member is significantly worn. In addition, the solid-gas two-phase flow ejected from the blasting nozzle or the air flow ejected from the air blow nozzle may collide with the wall surface of the blasting chamber and be reflected. The solid-gas two-phase flow and the air flow may collide with the lower surface of the workpiece, and the workpiece may be detached from the holding member. As described in the thirteenth aspect, by arranging the injection preventing member at this position, the holding member can be prevented from being blasted, and the workpiece can be detached from the holding member. Can be prevented.

In recent years, the demand for precise processing has been increasing in blasting, and fine particles are increasingly used as an injection material. In the unlikely event that an operator inhales a large amount of fine particles, the operator may lose his health. According to the fourteenth aspect, it is not necessary for the worker to be always near the blasting chamber, and even if dust leaks from the blasting apparatus, the risk of the worker sucking is greatly reduced. In addition, the burden on the operator can be reduced. Such a mechanism has the structure as in the fifteenth aspect of the invention, so that the workpiece is supported by the supporting portion provided in the rotating member, and then lifted and rotated by the conveying means connected to the rotating member. After being transported to the mounting position on the holding member by movement, the workpiece is lowered and released from being held by the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be automatically mounted on the holding member regardless of the hand. Further, as in the sixteenth aspect of the invention, by providing two or more holding portions, blasting can be achieved by combining the holding and release of the workpieces in the respective holding portions and the conveyance of the workpieces by the driving portion. The processed workpiece can be collected from the holding member, and the workpiece before blasting can be efficiently placed on the holding member. Further, as in the seventeenth aspect, the adjacent supporting portions are arranged at 90 °, that is, the supporting portions are arranged in an L shape or a cross shape, and are rotated around the intersection of the supporting portions. A workpiece can be conveyed by making it move.

An example of the configuration of the blasting apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking blasting of a plate-like workpiece W as an example. In addition, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, The one part can be changed as needed.

(Blasting room)
In the blasting chamber 10, a rotating means 20 constituted by a columnar member 22 and a holding member 23 is installed, and partition walls 11 a, 11 b, and 11 c are installed radially about the axis of the columnar member 22. It is divided into three regions (12a, 12b, 12c) by the partition walls 11a, 11b, 11c. In this embodiment, 12a is a loading / unloading area, 12b is a blasting area, and 12c is an air blowing area. The workpiece W is moved in these areas by the rotation means 20. (See Figure 1)

The columnar member 22 is connected to the driving means 21 and is rotatable about the axis. Further, it is sufficient that at least the holding member 23 is disposed in the blasting chamber 10, and a part of the columnar member 22 may protrude outside the blasting chamber 10. The holding member 23 is connected to a pair of holders 23a parallel to each other by a coupler 23b having the same thickness as the holder 23a, and one end of a coupler 23c having the same thickness as the holder 23a. However, it is comprised by connecting to the center of the longitudinal direction of this coupling tool 23b so that it may become horizontal and reverse to this holding tool 23a. In the present embodiment, each of the holder 23a, the coupler 23b, and the coupler 23c is a quadrangular columnar member. However, any of a cylindrical column and a polygonal column may be used as long as the members have the same thickness. Although the workpiece W is placed between the pair of holders 23a, in order to fix the position in the vertical direction in FIG. 2B and the planar position adjuster 23d for fixing the horizontal position in FIG. The vertical position adjusting tool 23e is attached. In the present embodiment, the vertical position adjusting tool 23e and the planar position adjusting tool 23d are each formed of a plate-like member, and are fixed to the holding tool 23a with bolts, so that the size of the work piece can be increased. The positions of the adjusters 23d and 23e can be arbitrarily set. Further, for the reason described later, the position of the vertical position adjusting tool 23e is set such that the processing surface of the workpiece W is not positioned above the upper surface of the holder 23a, that is, the processing surface is the upper surface of the holder 23a. It is desirable to install it so that it is the same as or below it. (See Figure 2)

The holding member 23 and the columnar member 22 are coupled to the other end of the coupling tool 23c so that the columnar member 22 is perpendicular to the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the columnar member 22. In the present embodiment, the three holding members 23 are installed such that each holding tool 23a is horizontal and the angle formed by the adjacent connecting tools 23c is 120 °. In this embodiment, the columnar member uses a cylinder, but the shape is not particularly limited, and a polygonal column may be used, or a combination of a column and a polygonal column may be used.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the drive means 21 for rotating the columnar member 22 used the rotation motor (not shown) which has a shaft as a drive source. The means for transmitting the driving force of the rotary motor is not particularly limited as long as the columnar member 22 rotates as described above. For example, even if the shaft and the columnar member 22 are coupled by a coupling or the like, a connection member (for example, a flange) is provided at one end of the shaft and the columnar member 22 and coupled via the connection member, Pulleys may be arranged at one end of the shaft and the columnar member 22, and the respective pulleys may be connected via a driving force transmission tool (belt), or other known means may be used.

Since the workpiece W and the holding member 23 move in the region 12a → 12b → 12c → 12a, the partition walls 11a, 11b, and 11c are provided with partition wall openings 11o, respectively. The opening 11o should be as small as possible so that the spray material and dust do not move between the respective regions. That is, it is sufficient that the holding member 23 and the workpiece W have dimensions enough to pass. As described above, when the processing surface (upper surface) of the workpiece W is equal to or lower than the upper surface of the holding member 23, the height of the opening 11o can be further reduced.

The opening 11o is preferably closed during blasting. In this embodiment, as the opening closing means, the closing member 25 that can close the opening 11o during blasting is connected to the columnar member 22. Specifically, one end in the longitudinal direction of the columnar member 22 having the same size as that of the opening 11 _o that can pass through the opening 11 _O as the columnar member 22 rotates is adjacent to the columnar member 22. Connection was made so that the angle formed by the matching closing member 25 was 120 °, and the angle formed by the adjacent closing member 25 and the connector 23c was 60 °. Thereby, when the holding member 23 moves to a predetermined position, the closing member 25 is positioned at the positions of the partition walls 11a, 11b, and 11c, and the opening 11o can be closed. (See Figure 1)

Next, each area | region 12a, 12b, 12c is demonstrated. In the loading / unloading area 12 a, the workpiece W before blasting is placed on the holding member 23, and the workpiece W after blasting is taken out from the blasting chamber 10. Therefore, an opening / closing door (not shown) for loading and unloading the workpiece W is disposed on a part of the outer wall of the blasting chamber 10 where the loading / unloading area 12a is formed. In the present embodiment, it is sufficient that the ceiling of the outer wall forming the loading / unloading region 12a is the upper surface of the holding member 23, and is installed at a position lower than the ceilings of the regions 12b and 12c where blasting and air blowing are performed. For this reason, the ceiling that forms the loading / unloading region 12a is installed at a sufficiently low position, and the opening / closing door is disposed on the ceiling.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the blasting region 12b includes a blasting nozzle 31, a scanning unit 32 for scanning the nozzle 31, and a nozzle 31 connected to the scanning unit 32. A blasting nozzle unit 30 including an arm 33 that can be fixed is installed. The blasting nozzle 31 can be suitably used for either a direct pressure type or a suction type, but in the present embodiment, it will be described as a suction type. Blasting nozzle 31 from the compressed air source 34 via a hose H _P1, it is connected to the injection material hopper 53 via the hose H _A. When the compressed air generated from the compressed air supply source 34 is supplied to the nozzle 31 and the compressed air is injected into the nozzle 31, a negative pressure is generated inside the nozzle 31. The spray material inside the hopper 53 is supplied into the nozzle 31. The supplied propellant and compressed air are mixed inside the nozzle 31, accelerated as a solid-gas two-phase flow, and injected toward the workpiece. When the blasting range by the nozzle 31 is smaller than the processing surface of the workpiece W, the entire workpiece can be processed by scanning the nozzle 31 by the scanning means 32 as shown in FIG. it can. When the nozzle 31 is scanned, it is necessary to scan beyond the end surface of the workpiece W as shown in FIG. 3B so that the end surface of the workpiece W is processed uniformly. At that time, the injection material is injected to the holding member 23 holding the workpiece W, and as a result, the holding member 23 is damaged. Further, since the injected spray material collides with the lower wall surface of the blasting region 12b and reflects upward, the reflected spray material collides with and adheres to the back surface of the workpiece W. Therefore, the nozzle 31 is scanned outward with respect to the end surface of the workpiece W, and the injection inhibiting member 26 is disposed at a position on the upper surface of the workpiece W as shown in FIG. 23 can be prevented, and the adhesion of the spray material to the back surface of the workpiece W due to the reflection can be prevented. The injection inhibiting member 26 can be similarly arranged in the air blow region 12c described later.

As shown in FIG. 5, an air blow area 12 c is provided with an air blow nozzle 41, a scanning means 42 for scanning the nozzle 41, and an arm 43 that can fix the nozzle 41. Nozzle unit 40 is installed. The nozzle 41 is connected to a compressed air supply source 34 via a hose HP ₂ . The compressed air supplied from the compressed air supply source 34 into the nozzle 41 is accelerated and injected toward the workpiece W. At this time, the nozzle 41 has an angle formed by the nozzle 41 and the work piece so as to efficiently remove the spray material and dust adhering to and accumulated on the work piece and the holding member 23 by blasting. Is set on the arm 43. Further, the angle θ formed between the nozzle 41 and the workpiece W is selected from a range of 5 ° to 90 ° in consideration of the shape of the workpiece W, the adhering force of the adhering propellant and dust, and the like. be able to. For example, in the workpiece W having a horizontal surface, when it is desired to efficiently remove the spray material and dust at the corners formed by the workpiece W and the holder 23a, θ should be small (for example, 5 ° to 60 °, preferably 20 ° -60 °) If the propellant and the propellant have a strong adhesive force, θ should be larger (eg, 60 ° -90 °, preferably 70 ° -80 °). In addition, in a workpiece W having a three-dimensional structure in which irregularities are formed by a mountain valley, a sphere, or a columnar shape on the surface, if it is desired to efficiently remove the injection material and dust in the recess, θ should be large ( For example, 60 ° to 90 °, desirably 70 ° to 80 °). Further, the nozzle 41 can be scanned by the scanning means 42 so that the compressed air can be jetted onto the workpiece W and the holding member 23 as a whole. (See Figure 5)

As shown in FIG. 6A, air blow nozzles 41 can be arranged on the front side and the back side of the workpiece W, respectively. Thereby, the injection material and dust of the whole workpiece W can be removed. However, the injection pressure P ₂ less than the workpiece injection pressure P ₁ in the air blow surface side of the air blow back side W is lifted from the retainer 23a, also the same results as poor balance of air volume and ejection position of both Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the balance of both the injection pressure, the injection air volume, and the injection position. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, a vibration means 44 that can apply vibration to the workpiece W can be installed in the air blow region 12c. The adhering force of the spray material and dust attached by the vibration is weakened and can be easily removed by the compressed air jetted from the nozzle 41. Further, since the workpiece W and the holding member 23 are in contact with each other, the vibration applied to the workpiece W is also transmitted to the holding member 23, and the same effect can be obtained. When the workpiece W is brought into direct contact with the vibration means 44, the vibration may be transmitted via the vibration transmission tool 45 if the vibration force is too strong to cause a problem. In the present embodiment, an iron thin plate-like member is used as the vibration transmission tool 45, one end thereof is connected to the vibration means 44, and the other end is brought into contact with the workpiece W. Further, although not shown, the air blow nozzle 41 may be disposed on the front surface side and the back surface side of the workpiece W, and further the vibration means 44 may be disposed.

A suction port 16 is provided in the lower part of the blasting chamber, and one end of a duct is connected to the suction port 16. A recovery / supply means 50 is connected to the other end of the duct. The collection / supply means 50 includes an injection material that can be used for blasting again from the blasting injection material and dust, and other than that (an injection material that collides with the workpiece W etc. and cannot be reused due to cracks or chipping) (Hereinafter referred to as “dust”), classification means 51 for generating a suction force and collecting means 52 for collecting the dust and collecting the dust, and connected to the classification means 51, An injection material hopper 53 for storing a reusable injection material and supplying it to the blasting nozzle 31; In this embodiment, a cyclone classifier is used as the classifying means 51 and a dust collector is used as the collecting means 52.
