Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for beam processing of materials according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Devices of this type are used, for example, as cleaning devices in the field of facade cleaning or monument conservation.
  • a mixture of air, water and abrasion particles for example sand
  • abrasion particles for example sand
  • relatively high pressure as a result of which the dirt particles adhering to the surface or rust and outer patina layers are removed from metal objects.
  • a problem with sandblasting is that there is often high water consumption, which increases the overall cost of the process.
  • high water consumption there are increased disposal problems, since the water enriched with dirt particles and possible additives must not get into the normal drain, but rather, for example, collected at the foot of the facade by means of suitable containers and in special facilities must be cleaned or reprocessed.
  • a blasting gun is known in which compressed air is used to generate a negative pressure within the blasting gun in order to suck in blasting material through an axially adjustable feed nozzle.
  • the cross section of the inflow openings for the compressed air is changed there by corresponding nozzle assemblies with different diameters.
  • a suction jet gun is known from CH-A-596 956, in which water is fed under pressure to a mixing chamber via a circumferential gap. The treatment agent is sucked in there by the negative pressure generated by the water.
  • the problem with this known device is that its service life is relatively short due to the high wear caused by friction.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a device according to the preamble of claim 1 which is as simple as possible to suit the respective conditions optimally adaptable admixture of the liquid over a wide setting range with the lowest possible liquid consumption and long service life of the device.
  • the amount of liquid is metered through the liquid inflow opening itself, so that upstream metering elements within the liquid supply line are dispensed with and the latter can be constructed very simply.
  • Another advantage is that the amount of liquid supplied can be adjusted over a wide range and very precisely, since the liquid inflow opening is immediately in front of the cavity in the direction of flow and there are no downstream elements or openings, the shape and size of the inflow conditions into the cavity determine.
  • the liquid inflow opening is designed as a circumferential gap, which enables a very simple manufacture of the liquid inflow opening and a uniform supply of the liquid into the cavity from all sides of the peripheral wall.
  • the liquid inflow opening is aligned in the region of its mouth parallel to the wall of the cavity lying behind the liquid inflow opening in the direction of flow of the blasting material.
  • the liquid supplied to the cavity is hereby deliberately guided along the circumferential wall of the cavity, so that a protective liquid layer forms between the wall of the cavity and the abrasion particles.
  • this layer of liquid the nozzle is significantly less worn by the abrasion particles, which increases its service life.
  • the liquid jacket protecting the peripheral wall of the cavity has a particularly advantageous effect on the life of the device when working at very high pressures. This is the case, for example, when the device is used for jet cutting materials, where, depending on the material to be cut, for example stone, steel, wood, fabrics or any other materials of all degrees of hardness, pressures of 1000 bar or more may be required.
  • the liquid jacket at least largely keeps the abrasion particles away from the peripheral wall of the cavity and considerably reduces the wear on the nozzle.
  • a nozzle element consists of a hollow-cylindrical insert part which is arranged to be axially movable within a nozzle shell, and the other nozzle element consists of a further hollow-cylindrical insert part which is immovably connected to the nozzle shell and which is arranged within the nozzle shell in alignment with the first insert part, the cavity inside the insert parts are designed.
  • the device according to the invention has, in addition to a high abrasion resistance to the blasting material, also a low weight, which improves the handling of the device.
  • only the insert parts can be replaced, while the nozzle jacket and the connection devices provided thereon can continue to be used.
  • flow guide elements are provided on at least one of the two walls of the nozzle elements delimiting the liquid inflow opening, in order to give the liquid flowing into the cavity a spiral flow direction around the central axis of the nozzle.
  • the jet emerging from the nozzle is thereby given a swirl with which the shape of the jet can be influenced in a favorable manner.
  • nozzle 1 shows a nozzle 1 with an elongated, hollow cylindrical nozzle jacket 2, in which two nozzle elements in the form of hollow cylindrical insert parts 3, 4 are provided.
  • the nozzle jacket is connected to a liquid inflow nozzle 5.
  • the nozzle jacket 2 has a continuous longitudinal bore 7, which is arranged centrally to its central axis 6, for receiving the insert parts 3, 4 and consists of a section 9 with an internal thread 8 with an enlarged diameter and a section 10 with a smaller diameter adjoining it in the direction of flow.
  • the two sections 9, 10 are connected to one another via a radial shoulder 11.
  • the insert parts 3, 4 are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction and in alignment with the central axis 6. They delimit with their inner circumferential walls a continuous cavity 12 which has an inlet opening 13 for abrasion particles, for example sand, at the inflow end and an outlet opening 14 for the blasting material at the outlet end.
  • the direction of flow of the abrasion particles entering via the inlet opening 13 is indicated by the arrow 15.
  • the insert part 3 which has the inlet opening 13 is inserted approximately up to the center of the nozzle shell 2 in its longitudinal bore 7 and is arranged to be axially movable therein.
  • the insert part 3 has a section 16 with an enlarged outer diameter, which carries an external thread 17 which can be screwed into the internal thread 8 of the nozzle casing 2.
  • the insert part 3 is provided with a downstream section 18 with a smaller diameter when viewed in the direction of flow, which section is guided axially displaceably within the section 10 of the longitudinal bore 7.
  • a lock nut 19 is screwed onto the section of the external part 17 of the insert part projecting beyond the end face of the nozzle casing 2, whereby the external thread 17 and the internal thread 8 of the nozzle casing 2 are braced against one another can be.
  • the insert 3 can be connected to a supply line (not shown) for the abrasion particles via an end region projecting axially via the lock nut 19.
  • the insert 4 lying in the flow direction behind the insert 3 consists of a tubular sleeve and is fixed within the section 10 of the longitudinal bore 7 by means of a screw, not shown, which is screwed into a radial threaded bore 20 of the nozzle casing 2 and against the outer peripheral wall of the insert 4 presses.
  • the insert parts 3, 4 are dimensioned such that the inside diameter of the insert part 4 is larger than the inside diameter of the insert part 3, but smaller than its outside diameter in an end section 21, which is adjacent to the insert part 4 and to the section 18 of the insert part 3 in the flow direction connects.
  • the insert part 3 is only screwed so far into the nozzle casing 2 that its end facing the insert part 4 still has a certain distance from the adjacent end region of the insert part 4, so that a circumferential, annular gap is present between the two insert parts 3, 4 represents a liquid inflow opening 22 for the liquid supplied via the liquid inflow nozzle 5.
  • the liquid inflow opening 22 is arcuate in longitudinal section and is delimited on the side of the insert 4 by a convex wall 23 which extends from the end of the insert 4 to the inner peripheral wall.
  • the liquid inflow opening 22 is delimited by a concave wall 24, which has approximately the same curvature as the convex wall 23 of the insert part 4 and is provided on the end of the end region 21 facing the insert part 4.
  • the liquid inflow opening 22 runs along and parallel to the inner peripheral wall of the insert part 4, so that the liquid flowing into the cavity 12 receives a flow direction which runs parallel to the inner peripheral wall of the insert part 4.
  • a liquid jacket is produced on this inner peripheral wall, which significantly reduces the wear of the insert 4 due to the blasting material.
  • the orientation of the liquid inflow opening 22 parallel to the circumferential wall can be effected in a simple manner by an axial projection 25 which connects to the concave wall 24 towards the end face of the insert part 3 and can be inserted into the insert part 4 at a radial distance.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the projection 25 runs parallel here to the inner peripheral surface of the insert part 4.
  • the convex wall 23 and / or the concave wall 24 can have inclined webs, not shown, which give the inflowing liquid a spiral flow direction around the central axis 6.
  • the liquid inflow opening 22 is connected to a circumferential annular chamber 26 which is delimited radially inwards by the end section 21 of the insert part 3 and radially outwards by the nozzle jacket 2.
  • the annular chamber 26 is in turn connected to a radial bore 27 of the nozzle casing 2, into which a fastening section of the liquid inflow nozzle 5 can be inserted.
  • the attachment of the liquid inflow nozzle 5 to the nozzle jacket 2 can be carried out, for example, in that the bore 27 is designed as a threaded bore and the fastening section of the liquid inflow nozzle 5 is screwed into the bore 27 until a flange 28 of the liquid inflow nozzle 5 rests on the outer surface of the nozzle jacket 2 .
  • elastic sealing means in the form of O-rings 29 are provided on both sides of the annular chamber, which are located in radial grooves of the nozzle casing 2 lie and are in sealing contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of the insert parts 3, 4.
  • FIG. 2 An embodiment variant of the invention is described in FIG. 2, in which the inflow direction of the wear particles is indicated by the arrow 30.
  • Fig. 1 In contrast to Fig. 1 is in the embodiment of 2 does not have the insert part having the inlet opening 13 axially movable within the nozzle casing 2, but rather the insert part following in the flow direction.
  • the corresponding insert parts are designated 3 ', 4' in FIG. 2.
  • the rest of the structure essentially corresponds to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1.
  • the insert parts 3, 3 ', 4, 4' are advantageously made of a wear-resistant material, for example hardened steel, while the casing 2, 2 'can be made of aluminum or plastic.
