  • Figure 3 is a rear view of the shot processing device 10, Figure 4 is a plan view of the shot processing device 10, and Figure 8 is a rear view of a circulating portion of the shot processing device 10. To distal ends of the lower screw conveyers 68A and 68B, as illustrated in Figure 3, lower parts of bucket elevators 70A and 70B as a second projection material conveying mechanism are connected. The bucket elevators 70A and 70B are arranged in the vertical direction and convey the projection material conveyed by the lower screw conveyers 68A and 68B upward.

  • Moreover, in the projection material tank 78D, a level sensor 86 configured to detect an amount of the projection material stored in this projection material tank 78D is provided.
  • Moreover, on a downstream end of the upper screw conveyer 74B, a projection material tank 78E is provided, and the projection material supplied from this projection material tank 78E flows to an overflow pipe 88 and then, returns to the cabinet 12 and flows to the lower screw conveyer 68B which is the beginning of a circulation system again.
  • The separators 72A and 72B illustrated in Figure 3 applies wind selection to the whole amount of the projection material conveyed by the bucket elevators 70A and 70B. That is, these separators 72A and 72B separate fine powders in air by sucking the air. In the separators 72A and 72B, ducts 90 are provided, respectively, and the air and fine powders flow through the ducts 90 and are separated into the fine powders and the coarse powders in a settling chamber 92.
  • Moreover, the finer powders are conveyed with air in the duct 90 and enter a dust collector 94. Only the air filtered in the dust collector 94 is discharged into the atmospheric air. The fine powders are accumulated in a fine-powder receiving box 96 provided under the dust collector 94. Moreover, the coarse powders separated in the settling chamber 92 are conveyed to the lower screw conveyer 68B.
  • Moreover, when a detected value of the above-described level sensor 86 exceeds a specified value set in advance, that is, when there is sufficient projection material in the circulation system, the flow-rate adjusters 80A to 80D as the switching mechanisms are controlled so that the projection material is supplied from the projection material tank 78A to the balance tank 76.
  • On the other hand, when the detected value of the level sensor 86 falls under the above-described specified value, the flow-rate adjusters 80A to 80D are controlled so that the projection material is supplied from the projection material tank 78D to the centrifugal projector 52D and the projection material is supplied from the balance tank 76 to the lower screw conveyer 68B.
  • Among the projection material having flowed to the inclined vibration sieves 84A and 84B, usable projection material flows to the lower screw conveyers 68A and 68B, while unusable projection material is accumulated in the fine-powder receiving box 96 provided under the inclined vibration sieves 84A and 84B.
  • Moreover, in the middle of a path from the duct 90 to the dust collector 94, a sucked-air fire-prevention damper 98 and a precoating supply duct 100 are provided.

The discharged-air fire-prevention damper 106 shuts off the flow of air together with the sucked-air fire-prevention damper 98 (in collaboration) in the case of a fire. A rotary valve 108 to the dust collector 94 serves a role of continuously discharging dusts. Reference numeral 114 denotes a control panel.
  • Subsequently, an operation of the shot processing device 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.
  • First, into the cage 44 in the chamber 42 located in the work carrying-in area 14 among the plurality of chambers 42, one or a plurality of works W are inserted. Then, the revolution driving motor 24 is operated, the rotary hanger 20 is rotated around the revolution shaft 22 by 60 degrees, and the work W is moved to the projection material projection area 18A.
  • Subsequently, the connection driving cylinder 50 is operated, and the rotation chain wheel (not shown) corresponding to the chamber 42 having been moved to the projection material projection area 18A is connected to the rotation driving motor 48. When the rotation driving motor 48 is driven, the rotation shaft 46 is rotated through the rotation chain wheel.
  • Moreover, the flow-rate adjusters 80C to 80F are opened, and the projection material is projected from the centrifugal projector 52A. By the means of them, the work W arranged on the upper part of the cage 44 is ground in a concentrated manner.
  • Subsequently, the revolution driving motor 24 is operated, the rotary hanger 20 is rotated around the revolution shaft 22 by 120 degrees, and the chamber 42 having been moved to the projection material projection area 18B is used as the projection chamber. Then, the connection driving cylinder 50 is operated, and the rotation chain wheel (not shown) corresponding to this chamber 42 is connected to the rotation driving motor 48. Moreover, when the rotation driving motor 48 is driven, the rotation shaft 46 is rotated through the rotation chain wheel (not shown).
  • Moreover, the projection material is projected from the centrifugal projector 52B. By the means of projection, the work W arranged on the lower part of the cage 44 is ground in a concentrated manner. Similarly, the projection material is projected from the centrifugal projector 52C. By the means of projection, the work W arranged on the lower part of the cage 44 is ground in a concentrated manner.
  • Lastly, when the projection material is projected from the centrifugal projector 52D, the work W arranged on the upper part of the cage 44 in the chamber 42 having been moved to the projection material projection area 18D is ground in a concentrated manner.
  • Then, the revolution driving motor 24 is operated, the rotary hanger 20 is rotated around the revolution shaft 22 by 300 degrees, and the work W is conveyed to the work carrying-out area 16 and taken out. Moreover, the revolution driving motor 24 is operated, the rotary hanger 20 is rotated around the revolution shaft 22 by 360 degrees, and the work W is inputted again.
  • By means of continuous repetition of the above-described series of steps, a large number of works W are sequentially subjected to shot processing.
  • Subsequently, actions and effects of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
  • As described above in detail, according to the shot processing device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the plurality of bucket elevators 70A and 70B configured to convey the projection material upward are provided, each of the bucket elevators 70A and 70B can be reduced in size in the height direction. As a result, the overall height of the entire device can be reduced.
  • Moreover, when the detected value of the level sensor 86 exceeds the specified value set in advance, the projection material is supplied from the projection material tank 78A to the balance tank 76, but when the detected value of the level sensor 86 falls under the above-described specified value, the projection material is supplied from the projection material tank 78D to the centrifugal projector 5252D and the projection material is supplied from the balance tank 76 to the lower screw conveyers 68A and 68B. Therefore, a good balance can be kept in the transport amount of the projection material without shortage of the projection material.
  • Moreover, the separators 72A and 72B are provided between the bucket elevators 70A and 70B and the upper screw conveyers 74A and 74B, and the whole amount of the projection material conveyed by the bucket elevators 70A and 70B are subjected to wind selection by the separators 72A and 72B.
  • Therefore, the classification performance of the projection material can be ensured even for a work W producing many burrs and fine powders. Moreover, by means of these separators 72A and 72B, the inclined vibration sieves 84A and 84B configured to classify a part of the projection material conveyed by the upper screw conveyers 74A and 74B and a structure in which the projection material is not projected but passed through the separators 72A and 72B and the inclined vibration sieves 84A and 84B again by storage of the projection material in the above-described balance tank 76 and supply of the projection material from this balance tank 76, the classification performance of the projection material can be ensured.
  • Moreover, by adjusting the length in the axial direction of the expansion/contraction mechanism 64, the rotating member 62 is rotated, whereby the distance between the driving pulley 58 and the driven pulley 56 is adjusted, and the tension of the driving belt 60 can be adjusted. Therefore, since it is not necessary to loosen a bolt of a mounting portion to the impeller base door of the driven pulley 56 in order to adjust the tension of the driving belt 60, for example, workability can be made favorable.
  • Moreover, the bottom wall portion 40 of the partition material 36 is inclined toward the center side of the turntable 34 as it goes from one of the pair of side wall portions 38 to the other. Therefore, even if the projection material projected by the projector from the outside in the radial direction of the turntable 34 hits the bottom wall portion 40, bouncing of this projection material to the projection side can be suppressed. As a result, durability of the projector can be ensured.
  • In this embodiment, the shot processing device 10 is an example, and its form can be changed in various ways. Figures 9 to 15 illustrate a shot processing device 110 according to a variation.
  • A basic configuration of this shot processing device 110 is similar to that of the shot processing device 10 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention. Here, regarding the shot processing device 110, the same reference numerals are used for the members having the functions similar to those of the shot processing device 10 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, and the explanation will be omitted. Reference numerals 84 and 112 indicated in Figures 9 to 15 are a vibration inclined sieve and a hanger (a hook), respectively.
  • The embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above but naturally can be put into practice with various modifications without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
