The present invention relates to a polishing method using a dry-type fluid barrel polishing apparatus that is performed without using a metal.

  A workpiece having a notch such as a slit, a long hole, an elliptical hole, or a circular hole is formed by cutting or pressing. In such a molded product, burrs are generated at the edge of the processed portion, and a processing mark is formed on the end surface. In order to commercialize such a workpiece, it is necessary to remove burrs generated at the edge of the processed part, round (R), and smooth the processed trace formed on the end face. For the polishing of the notch formed in the workpiece, the selection of a medium that can efficiently polish the edge and the inner surface of the notch by pressing an abrasive (media) into the notch, and the medium Therefore, a polishing apparatus having a high polishing force with a large pressing force for pressing the nozzle into the notch portion is required.

The polishing tank is equipped with a vibrating base that vibrates the polishing tank into which the work and media are charged and polishes it by the frictional force of the work and the medium. There are a fluid type that grinds the workpiece and the media by swirling and a centrifugal type in which a plurality of polishing tanks rotate and revolve in a planetary rotation. It is known as a model that demonstrates polishing power.

  Patent Document 1 is disclosed as a known technique using the centrifugal polishing apparatus.

However, the centrifugal barrel polishing apparatus is provided with a plurality of polishing tanks, and since there is a pressure increase and frictional heat in the polishing tank after the polishing is completed, a waiting time for reducing them is necessary, and It takes time to open and close the lid. Moreover, since the invention of Patent Document 1 uses a compound and is wet, the cleaning water is required, and therefore there is a problem that the waste water treatment is required.
JP 2001-71254 A

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, has a high polishing power that improves the polishing efficiency of the inner surface and edge of the notch, and is a notch by a dry method that does not use water or a compound. A method for polishing a workpiece having a portion is provided.

  The dry flow barrel polishing method for a workpiece having a notch according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is a method in which a workpiece and a medium having a notch are placed in a polishing tank having a rotating disk at the bottom. The mass that swirls and flows by the rotation of the rotating disk is formed, and polishing is performed while controlling the swirling flow of the mass.

  The medium may be a single medium composed of one type of medium or a mixed medium composed of a plurality of media. Further, the mixed medium may be constituted by a medium having a size larger than the size of the notch portion of the work and a medium having a size smaller than the size of the notch portion of the work. Further, the bulk specific gravity of a small size medium may be made larger than that of a large size medium. Further, a medium having a large size may be a soft medium, and a medium having a small size may be a hard medium.

Furthermore, the soft medium may be formed of a material that contains an abrasive and has elasticity. The hard medium may be a fired medium, a sintered medium, or a metal-based medium. Further, the control of the swirling flow of the mass may be performed by vertical movement by a movable member provided in the upper part of the polishing tank. Moreover, the swirl flow of the mass can be intermittently controlled.
Further, the control of the swirling flow of the mass may be performed by increasing or decreasing the rotation speed of the rotating disk. Further, the control of the swirling flow of the mass may be performed by adjusting the amount of work and media input to the polishing tank.
A method for controlling the swirling flow of the mass is called a pressurization method.

  The present invention introduces a work and a medium having a notch into a polishing tank provided with a rotating disk at the bottom, forms a mass that swirls and flows by rotation of the rotating disk, and Since polishing is performed while being controlled, the flow energy of the mass is changed to the friction force between the workpiece and the medium, and particularly the inner surface and the edge portion of the notch can be efficiently polished. As a result, it is possible to obtain an excellent polishing force that cannot be obtained by the conventional dry fluid barrel polishing method, and it is comparable to or better than the wet centrifugal barrel polishing method that is generally said to have a high polishing force. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the total cost and eliminate the need for sewage treatment generated by the wet polishing method, cleaning of the workpiece and rust prevention treatment, etc., and can contribute sufficiently to the environment. .

In addition, since the medium is a single medium composed of one type of medium or a mixed medium composed of a plurality of media, the optimum medium is appropriately selected and applied depending on the finishing degree of the target work. be able to.
Furthermore, the mixed media is composed of media larger than the size of the cut-out portion of the work and media smaller than the size of the cut-out portion of the work. Therefore, the general large-size media cuts the small-size media. In addition to the effect of polishing by pressing against the notch and polishing the inner surface of the notch, a greater polishing force can be obtained by changing the flow energy of the mass to the frictional force between the workpiece and the medium.
Further, by making the bulk specific gravity of the small-sized media larger than that of the large-sized media, the small-sized media can easily enter the notch, and more effective polishing can be performed.

Furthermore, since the large-sized media is soft media and the small-sized media is hard media, the large-sized soft media can be elastically deformed and the small-sized hard media can be strongly pushed into the notch. .
In addition, since soft media is made of an elastic material containing abrasives, blackening that occurs during dust removal and polishing without forming scratches or dents on the surface layer of the workpiece Can be cleaned.
Furthermore, since the hard medium is a fired medium, a sintered medium, or a metal-based medium, the hard medium can be selected according to the hardness of the work and the surface of the work can be polished efficiently and accurately.

In addition, since the swirling flow of the mass is controlled by the vertical movement by the movable member provided at the upper part of the polishing tank, the mass flow energy is changed to the frictional force between the work and the media, and in particular the notch It is possible to efficiently polish the inner surface and edge portion of the substrate.
In addition, the swirling flow of the mass is controlled by increasing / decreasing the rotation speed of the rotating disk, so the flow energy of the mass is changed to the frictional force between the workpiece and the media, especially the inner surface and edge of the notch. It can polish efficiently. Also, barrel polishing can be efficiently performed by intermittently performing mass flow control.
In addition, the control of the swirling flow of the mass is performed by adjusting the amount of work and media input to the polishing tank, so the amount of mass increases and the frictional force between the work and the media recovers. The inner surface and edge portion of the notch can be efficiently polished.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a fluid barrel polishing apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention. This fluid barrel polishing apparatus is conventional in that it comprises a polishing tank 1 and a rotating disk 2 in the polishing tank 1. There is no particular difference from that. However, this fluid barrel polishing apparatus has a great feature in that a disk-shaped movable member 3 that blocks the upward flow of the mass M is disposed in the upper opening 11 of the polishing tank 1. The material of the movable member 3 may be an elastic body made of rubber or the like, or a metal inelastic body.

  In the fluidized barrel polishing apparatus, the rotating disk 2 is disposed slightly above the bottom plate 12 of the polishing tank 1 and is reduced by a motor 20 while being in sliding contact with the inner wall 13 of the polishing tank 1 leaving a sliding contact portion gap 14. The rotation of the motor 20 is controlled by the control device 50. The outer peripheral edge of the turntable 2 is curved upward, and the horizontal flow of the mass from the center of the turntable 2 to the outside is easily formed as a vertical flow rising along the inner wall surface 13 of the polishing tank 1. It is. Further, a suction hole 15 is provided in the turntable 2, and a gap 16 is formed between the turntable 2 and the bottom plate 12 of the polishing tank 1. Dust generated by the polishing is collected by a dust collector (not shown) from the suction hole 15 and the sliding contact portion gap 14 provided in the rotating disk 2 through the gap 16 and the dust collecting pipe 17.

  At the center of the movable member 3, when the mass M is filled in the polishing tank 1 and the flow thereof is not smooth, a lid opening 31 is formed to allow a part of the mass M to escape and smooth the flow. However, the support member 32 is fixed across the lid opening 31.

  Above the movable member 3, an elevating mechanism 60 for moving the movable member 3 up and down is disposed. The elevating mechanism 60 includes an arm 62 that is pivotally mounted on the column 61 so as to be pivotable horizontally, an operating rod 63 that protrudes above the support member 31 of the movable member 3, and an operating rod 63 that is attached to the tip of the arm 62. A drive unit 64 that moves the movable member 3 up and down via the control unit and a control unit 65 that receives a signal from the control device 50 and drives the drive unit 64. The drive unit 64 is a hydraulic cylinder type or a ball screw type.

  The mass M introduced into the polishing tank 1 moves up the inner wall 13 of the polishing tank 1 by the rotation of the turntable 2, and the flow direction is changed to the center direction of the polishing tank 1 by the movable member 3 at the upper part to flow toroidally. However, since the mutual frictional force between the workpiece and the medium is greatly increased by changing the flow direction of the mass M, the barrel polishing ability can be dramatically improved to about 10 times the conventional one.

  In the above-described fluid barrel polishing apparatus, when the polishing progresses and the frictional force between the workpiece and the medium decreases, as shown in FIG. 2, the operating rod 63 of the elevating mechanism 60 is lowered to move the central portion of the movable member 3 The pressure applied to the mass M which is swirling and flowing can be increased by bending the plate downward to restore the polishing ability. Moreover, mass flow control can be performed by the movable member 3 provided in the upper part of the polishing tank. Moreover, mass flow control can also be performed by rotation control that increases the number of rotations of the turntable 2 so that the load current value of the motor 20 is constant.

  It should be noted that the movable means (upper lid) 3 of the polishing tank 1 can be opened and closed, and an outer cylinder for charging is provided on the upper lid 3 so that the amount of mass M in the polishing tank 1 can be seen in this outer cylinder. Can do. In this embodiment, when the volume of the mass M is reduced due to the wear of the work and media accompanying the progress of barrel polishing and the load of the drive motor 20 is reduced, the work and / or the medium from the outer cylinder by the input amount control means. Is added. The loading can be automatically performed in conjunction with a level sensor. When additional charging is performed, the amount of mass M in the polishing tank 1 increases, the frictional force between the workpiece and the medium recovers, and the load of the drive motor 20 increases. Therefore, barrel polishing is continued within the load setting range. It becomes possible.

  In each of the embodiments described above, when the load on the drive motor 20 has decreased, the position of the movable means 3 has been changed or the amount of input work and / or media has been changed, but the load on the drive motor 20 has decreased. In this case, it is possible to increase the pressure applied to the mass M that is swirling and flowing by increasing the rotational speed of the turntable 2 and increasing the centrifugal force to increase the flow rate of the mass M. That is, in this embodiment, the control means 50 for the rotational speed of the drive motor 20 is caused to function as a flow control means for the mass M. However, the upper part of the polishing tank 1 is covered with a lid so that the mass M does not pop out when the number of rotations of the turntable 2 is increased.

  Further, the control means 50 allows the mass M to move in a restrained state when the flow direction is changed by the movable means 3 and the workpiece is polished in a restricted state, and the mass M is free flowing without the flow direction being changed by the movable means 3. The barrel polishing can be efficiently performed by controlling the flow of the mass M intermittently assuming that the unconstrained polishing time to be polished can be set.

  That is, in the method of this embodiment, when the time for constrained polishing of the workpiece reaches a predetermined time or when the load falls below a set lower limit value, the movable means 3 is raised to a height at which the mass M does not contact. Alternatively, the work is brought into an unconstrained state by reducing the number of rotations of the rotating disk 2 until the mass M remains in contact with the movable means 3 while the height of the movable means 3 remains unchanged. During constrained polishing, the mixing state of the media and the workpiece may be shifted, resulting in a decrease in polishing efficiency. However, by intermittently releasing the restraint and swirling and flowing the mass M in a free state, the work and the medium are mixed uniformly again, so that the polishing efficiency can be further improved.

  Next, a polishing process of a work having a notch according to the present invention and a medium used for the polishing will be described.

  The work has notches such as slits (long grooves), elliptical holes, and circular holes as shown in FIG. The workpiece polishing process includes the deburring and R-attachment of the outer peripheral portion and the notch edge portion of the workpiece, the first polishing for cleaning and smoothing the surface layer portion, and the edge of the workpiece after finishing the first polishing. There is a second polishing that further smoothes the R forming part, the surface layer part, and the inner surface of the notch part, and the first polishing and the second polishing are polished separately or in combination depending on the condition of the workpiece and processing accuracy. May be performed. The first polishing medium contains an abrasive, and a soft medium in which the binder is formed of a thermosetting resin or the like using a synthetic resin or an unsaturated polyester resin, and a fired medium or a sintered medium or There are mixed media in which an appropriate amount of hard media made of metal media or the like is mixed. These media can be selected according to the hardness of the workpiece, or can be properly used by adjusting the mixing ratio. The second polishing media includes a mixed media in which an appropriate amount of a hard media having a spherical shape and a diameter smaller than the notch width of the workpiece is mixed with the soft media.

  Among the above media, the soft media used in the first polishing and second polishing prevent blackening that occurs during dust removal and polishing without forming scratches or dents on the surface layer of the workpiece. Has the effect of cleaning. Moreover, deburring and R-attaching of the edge portion of the work cut and formed by press working are performed. In particular, a thermosetting resin using a synthetic resin or a synthetic resin or an unsaturated polyester resin as a binder has an action of elastically deforming and entering the notch at the notch. The shape requires a function in which one side forming the medium enters into the notch, and therefore, for example, a triangular prism shape as shown in FIG. 4 or a triangular pyramid shape as shown in FIG. 5 is desirable. . Further, the length A of one side is preferably 1.5 to 7 times the notch width W of the workpiece.

  In addition, the mixed media used in the first polishing is a soft medium, a hard medium made of a fired material or a sintered material, and the mixing ratio is adjusted according to the hardness of the workpiece, This is for performing processing when the deburring or R-attaching of the edge of the soft medium is incomplete. In addition, the hardness of a hard medium should just be HRc10-40.

  The mixed media used in the second polishing is a soft media used in the first polishing selected from hard media such as steel balls shown in Table 4 according to the hardness of the work, It has the action and effect in the first polishing and the action of further elastically deforming and pushing the hard medium into the notch, while the hard medium is the R of the surface layer part and edge of the work after the first polishing. It has the effect of smoothing the inner surface of the forming part and the notch part and imparting a high degree of gloss. Hard media generally have a spherical shape, acorn shape, wheat shape, cylindrical shape, elliptical shape, pin shape, etc., but the inner surface is smoothed by being pushed into the notch by the soft media. The spherical shape is desirable. The size (outer diameter) is preferably 50 to 80% with respect to the notch width W, and since the wear resistance is required, the steel ball made of bearing steel is most desirable. .

  Further, the mixing ratio of the soft media used for the mixed media for the first polishing or the second polishing is adjusted according to the plate thickness or hardness of the workpiece. In order to obtain it, it is desirable to set it as 50 to 75 volume% at least. Moreover, in order to polish a workpiece | work effectively, the injection | throwing-out ratio with respect to the mixed media of the workpiece | work grinding | polishing using the mixed media for 1st grinding | polishing or the mixed media for 2nd grinding | polishing is 10-20 volume%. It is desirable to do.

  Next, a method for polishing a workpiece having a notch portion shown in FIG. 3 will be described using the above-described fluid barrel polishing apparatus.

  If the work and the first polishing medium are put into the polishing tank 1 of the fluid barrel polishing apparatus and the rotating disk 2 provided at the bottom of the polishing tank 1 is rotated, the work and the medium swirl and flow into the mass. Formed and raised along the inner wall of the polishing tank 1. The upward flow of the mass is pressed by the movable member 3, and the rising energy of the mass is converted into the frictional force between the workpiece and the medium, thereby increasing the polishing force on the workpiece. In such a state, a binding material such as a synthetic resin forming a soft medium or a thermosetting resin using a synthetic resin or an unsaturated polyester resin is elastically deformed by the pressing force of the movable member 3 and is notched. Partially enter the inside of the part. Therefore, dust can be removed and blackening can be prevented without forming scratches or dents on the surface layer portion of the workpiece, and the outer periphery and the edge portion of the slit that have been cut and formed can be efficiently deburred. . In addition, in the case of using the mixed media for the first polishing, the soft media mixed with the mixed media has the same operation and effect as described above, but the hard media mixed according to the hardness of the workpiece. Polishing can be performed with improved polishing efficiency.

  Next, if the work after the first polishing and the mixed media for the second polishing are put into the polishing tank 1 and the turntable 2 is rotated, the mass that swirls and flows can be moved as in the first polishing step. The member 3 is pressed, and the polishing force of the media on the workpiece is increased. The soft molding media mixed with the second polishing media gives the same action and effect as the first polishing and pushes the hard media into the notch of the workpiece, which hard media smooths the inner surface of the notch. To give a high gloss. In addition, the hard medium also provides smoothness and high glossiness of the surface layer portion of the workpiece and the R forming portion of the edge.

  As mentioned above, while cleaning the surface layer part of a work, deburring the outer peripheral part and notch part edge part of a work, the 1st grinding | polishing which attaches R, the surface layer part and R formation part of the work which finished 1st grinding | polishing, In addition, the polishing process in which the inner surface of the notch portion is smoothed and the second polishing that imparts high gloss has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the purpose of polishing is, for example, burring at the edge portion of the workpiece. When the main purpose is removal and R-attachment, only the first polishing is sufficient. On the other hand, the surface layer portion of the workpiece subjected to the first polishing by another method and the inner surface of the notch portion are smoothed or glossy. When the main purpose is application, only the second polishing is necessary.

Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be described in more detail on the basis of an example in which the workpiece of FIG. 3 whose specifications are shown in Table 1 is polished in only one step of the first polishing. In this example, the polishing ability at a polishing time of 45 minutes was compared with the conventional method (wet centrifugal barrel method).
Nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenko Sangyo Co., Ltd.), a soft media with a size larger than the slit width, and steel ball media (SB1.6: new), a hard media with a size smaller than the slit width W Mix with East Breather Co., Ltd.).

  Depending on the finishing requirement of the target workpiece, the mixed media is not limited to the above examples, and the soft media is not limited to the above nylon-based materials, for example, resin-based media or unsaturated polyester resins usually used for barrel polishing. It is also possible to use the thermosetting resin media used, and it is also possible to use media obtained by mixing abrasive grains with vitrified bonds and firing or sintering instead of steel balls. Also, as mixed media, soft media was used for large media and hard media was used for small media, but this is not a limitation, and hard media is used for large media. It is also possible to use soft media for size media, and it is also possible to use soft media for both large size media and small size media, and both sizes of media can be used as hard media. Is possible.

In the polishing of the present embodiment, the polishing was performed by controlling the mass flow at a rotation speed of the rotating disk of 350 min ⁻¹ . The comparison results in this example are shown below. The numbers in parentheses () before the barrel of the R-attached portion shown in Table 2 indicate the height of burrs at the edge portion before polishing, and the numbers indicate the size of R after polishing. Yes. That is, after polishing, deburring and rounding of the edge portion before the barrel are performed.

  As shown in Table 2, the present embodiment has improved R-cutting of the notch edge and smoothing of the finished surface as compared with the conventional method. In particular, the smoothness of the finished surface of the groove inner surface is dramatically improved as compared with the conventional method. As shown in FIG. 6, this is because the mass itself is pressurized by the flow control of the mass by the pressurized flow barrel polishing apparatus according to the present invention, and the force of pressing the steel ball by the synthetic resin-based media is reduced. It is conceivable that the polishing force was increased by applying the force and further elastically deforming the synthetic resin-based media and pressing the steel balls.

  FIG. 6 shows the polished state during pressurization. Normally, when a work and mixed media are put into a fluid barrel polishing apparatus and a mass is formed by the swirling flow, a hard medium MS (for example, a steel ball) having a size smaller than the width W of the notch is used. Pressing with a larger size soft media ML (for example, synthetic resin-based media) or workpiece, the mass is pressurized (arrow in the figure) by the flow control of the mass as in this embodiment, and the pressing force is In addition, a pressurizing force F is applied to the mass, and as shown in FIG. 6, the soft medium is elastically deformed in the notch portion, and the hard medium is pressed with a stronger force. It is considered that the R processing can be performed with a stronger force by rotating, and the polishing power of the notch, particularly the polishing power of the inner surface of the notch, is increased.

  In the following, the method of the present invention will be described in more detail on the basis of an example in which the workpiece of FIG. 3 whose specifications are shown in Table 1 is polished by the two steps of the first polishing and the second polishing. In this example, the polishing ability at the same polishing time (first polishing 45 minutes + second polishing 45 minutes) was compared.

  As a preparation before polishing, the first polishing mixed media is mixed with a nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenkou Sangyo Co., Ltd.), which is a soft media, and an iron-based steel ball media, which is a hard media. In addition, the mixed media for the second polishing are nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenkou Sangyo Co., Ltd.), which is a soft media larger than the slit width, and steel balls, which are hard media smaller than the slit width W. Mix with media (SB1.6: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.).

  The comparison results in this example are shown below. The numbers in parentheses () before the barrel of the R-applied portion shown in Table 3 indicate the height of burrs at the edge portion before polishing, and are the first polishing. The number shown in the second polishing indicates the size of R after polishing. That is, after the first polishing, the deburring and R-attachment of the edge portion that was in front of the barrel is performed, and the edge portion is further R-attached in the second polishing.

In the first polishing, polishing was performed by controlling the mass flow at a rotation speed of the rotating disk of 350 min ⁻¹ . As a result, as shown in Table 3, the present embodiment (dry pressurized fluidized barrel polishing apparatus) compared to the conventional method (wet centrifugal barrel polishing apparatus) was deburred and rounded at the notch edge, and the finished surface was Smoothing is improved.
In the second polishing, the mass flow was controlled at a rotation speed of the rotating disk of 350 min ⁻¹ for polishing. As a result, as shown in Table 2, in this embodiment, the deburring and rounding of the notch edge and the smoothing of the finished surface are improved in comparison with the conventional method. In particular, the smoothness of the finished surface of the groove inner surface is dramatically improved as compared with the conventional method.

  Hereinafter, based on the Example which grind | polished the workpiece | work of FIG. 3 whose specification is shown in Table 1 by said 1st grinding | polishing, the method of this invention is demonstrated still in detail. In this example, the R values of the notch edge when the media was changed with the same polishing time (45 minutes) were compared. As a comparison device, the dry pressure flow barrel polishing apparatus of this embodiment is compared with the conventional dry pressure flow barrel polishing apparatus.

  The first polishing media used in this example are (1) Nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenkou Sangyo Co., Ltd.) and (2) Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Ujiden Chemical Co., Ltd.) and nylon binder resin media (NRT4W: Kenko Sangyo Co., Ltd.) mixed at a ratio of 6: 4, and (3) Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.) ) And firing media (AH-T4: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) mixed at a ratio of 7: 3, (4) Nylon binder resin media (NRT4W: Kenko Sangyo Co., Ltd.), and firing Use media (AH-T4: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) mixed at a ratio of 6: 4.

  As is apparent from FIG. 7, the comparison result of this example shows that the dry pressure flow barrel apparatus of the present invention has an R value of the notch edge in all media than the conventional dry flow barrel apparatus. An excellent effect of high is obtained.

  Hereinafter, based on the Example which grind | polished the workpiece | work of FIG. 3 whose specification is shown in Table 1 by said 2nd grinding | polishing, the method of this invention is demonstrated still in detail. In this example, the roughness Rz of the finished surface in the notch when the media was changed with the same polishing time (40 minutes) was compared. As a comparison apparatus, the dry pressure flow barrel polishing apparatus of this embodiment is compared with the conventional wet centrifugal barrel polishing apparatus.

  The second polishing media used in this example are: (1) Nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenko Sangyo Co., Ltd.) and steel ball media (SB1.6: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) 85: (2) Nylon binder resin media (NRT6W: Kenko Sangyo Co., Ltd.) and sintered media (V1.5: Shinto Blator Co., Ltd.) are mixed at a ratio of 85:15. (3) Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.) and steel ball media (SB1.4: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) mixed at a ratio of 85:15, (4) Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.), steel ball media (SB1.4: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.), and deformed steel media (SAT3.8: Shinto Brater) (5) Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.) and sintered media (V1.5: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) ) And (6) Sintered triangular prism-shaped media (V3-T6: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) and baked media (UP16: Ujiden Chemical Co., Ltd.) in a ratio of 1: 1 And (7) sintered media (AX-E4: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.) and sintered media (V1: Shinto Brater Co., Ltd.).

  As is apparent from FIG. 8, the comparison result of the present example shows that the dry pressure flow barrel apparatus of the present invention is smoother in the notch portion in some media than the conventional wet centrifugal barrel apparatus. Although it was inferior, the mixed media (1) (NRT6W + SB1.6) was able to obtain an excellent effect.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described in which the workpiece shown in FIG. 9 is polished and compared by the method of the present invention (dry pressure flow barrel polishing apparatus) and the conventional method (wet centrifugal barrel polishing apparatus, dry flow barrel polishing apparatus). In addition, B dimension is a dimension of the outer surface and edge edge part in CC arrow figure of the workpiece | work shown in FIG. 9, and edge edge part as shown on the right side of CC arrow figure When the edge ends as shown on the left side of the figure due to polishing, the B dimension increases (B 'dimension in the figure).

Nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.) and nylon binder resin media (NRT3: Kenkou Sangyo Co., Ltd.) are mixed as the mixed media used in this embodiment. In addition, as a mixed medium used in a conventional wet centrifugal barrel polishing apparatus, two kinds of fired media are mixed. Furthermore, as the mixing media used in the conventional dry flow barrel polishing equipment, nylon binder resin media (DXT7: Uji Electric Chemical Co., Ltd.) and sintered media (V2: Shinto Blator Co., Ltd.) are mixed. deep.
As is apparent from FIGS. 10 and 11, the comparison results of this example are that the processing time to the target value of the B dimension of the workpiece surface and the R value of the notch edge is determined by wet centrifugal barrel polishing and dry fluid polishing There was a significant decrease compared to.

  It should be noted that the mass flow control means includes a restricted polishing time in which the flow direction of the mass M is changed by the movable member 3 and the workpiece is polished in a restricted state, and the flow direction of the mass M is changed by the movable member 3. The barrel polishing can also be efficiently performed by controlling the flow of the mass M intermittently, assuming that the non-constrained polishing time for polishing while free flowing can be set.

  That is, according to the method of this embodiment, when the time for constraining and polishing a workpiece reaches a predetermined time or when the load falls below a set lower limit, the movable member 3 is raised to a height at which the mass M does not contact. Alternatively, the workpiece is brought into an unconstrained state by reducing the number of rotations of the rotating disk 2 until the mass M does not contact the movable member 3 while the height of the movable member 3 remains unchanged. During constrained polishing, the mixing state of the media and the workpiece may be shifted, resulting in a decrease in polishing efficiency. However, by intermittently releasing the restraint and swirling and flowing the mass M in a free state, the work and the medium are mixed uniformly again, so that the polishing efficiency can be further improved.
