  By the way, in the said conventional thing, although the thing with light mass, such as a grinding scrap, is removed, conversely, a thing with a heavy mass and a large value of a particle size cannot be removed. In general, when blasting is continued, there may be a case where abrasive scraps generated during the processing or abrasives (abrasive grains) are combined to increase the size of the abrasive grains. When such a large and heavy abrasive grain (abrasive) is sprayed from the nozzle onto the surface of the workpiece, when the workpiece is composed of a very thin member, There is a risk of damage. Moreover, there is a possibility that the processed recesses (pits) etc. already formed on the surface of the workpiece may be blocked by the above-mentioned large abrasive or the fine through-holes may be closed. . In order to solve such problems, it is an object (problem) of the present invention to provide an abrasive classifier capable of selecting the abrasive particle size within a predetermined range. .

  In order to solve the above problems, the following measures are taken in the present invention.

It was decided to take the formed ultrasonic transducer to provide the dynamic, the structure was set to be from.

  Next, in a second invention which is the invention according to claim 2, in the abrasive classifier according to claim 1, the mesh sieve is perpendicular to the flow direction of the abrasive discharged from the hopper. It was decided to adopt a configuration in which it was installed with a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the surface formed in the direction.

  In the first invention according to the first aspect of the present invention, the abrasive having a predetermined particle size and opening value passes through the mesh sieve and is sent downward. And only those having a predetermined particle diameter and having a predetermined mass (abrasive) are collected at the abrasive feeding means provided below the screen of the mesh sieve, From here, it will be fed to the next blasting machine. On the other hand, of the abrasive that has fallen from the hopper, large lumps are retained on the screen of the mesh sieve. The large residue remaining on the screen surface of the mesh screen is discharged to the outside by the discharge action of the residue discharge means provided separately and removed. . In addition, since the ultrasonic vibrator is provided at the mesh-like screen, the mesh-like sieve is appropriately given a fine vibration by the operation of the ultrasonic vibrator. As a result, the clogging phenomenon of the mesh forming the mesh screen is suppressed, and the appropriate abrasive having a predetermined particle size is collected in the abrasive feed means formed below, and finally It will be sent to the blasting machine.
