Abstract
A particle blast apparatus has a particle generator the speed of which is synchronized with the speed of the feeder which introduces particles into the flow of transport gas.
Description
- This application claims priority from United States Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/660,697, filed Mar. 11, 2005, titled Particle Blast System With Synchronized Feeder And Particle Generator.
- The present invention relates generally to particle blast systems apparatus, and is particularly directed to a device with a synchronized feeder and particle generator. The invention will be disclosed in connection with, but not limited to, a carbon dioxide blasting system having a shaver which is synchronized by a drive belt to the feeder.
- Particle blasting systems have been around for several decades. Typically, particles, also known as blast media, are fed by a feeder into a transport gas flow and are transported as entrained particles to a blast nozzle, from which the particles exit, being directed toward a workpiece or other target. Particles may be stored in a hopper or generated by the blasting system and directed to the feeder for introduction into the transport gas. One apparatus for generating carbon dioxide particles is known as a shaver, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,520,572 which is incorporated herein by reference, in which a working edge, such as a knife edge, is urged against and moved across a block of carbon dioxide. Particles, also referred to as granules, are thus generated and fed to the inlet of a feeder. One such feeder is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/123,974, filed on Apr. 17, 2002 for Feeder Assembly For Particle Blast System, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Although the present invention will be described herein in connection with a particle feeder for use with carbon dioxide blasting, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited in use or application to carbon dioxide blasting. The teachings of the present invention may be used in particle blast apparatus in which particles are generated and directed to a feeder.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention, and, together with the general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a particle blast system constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, with the outer panels removed to reveal the components. -
FIG. 2 is a an end view of a portion of the particle blast system ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the drive motor, the feeder, the end of the shaver, and the drive belt. -
FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view similar toFIG. 3 , taken along line A-A ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the rotor of the feeder - Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- In the following description, like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views. Also, in the following description, it is to be understood that terms such as front, back, inside, outside, and the like are words of convenience and are not to be construed as limiting terms. Terminology used in this patent is not meant to be limiting insofar as devices described herein, or portions thereof, may be attached or utilized in other orientations. Referring in more detail to the drawings, the invention will now be described.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , particle blast system, generally indicated at 2, includeframe 4 which provides support for the components, and to which outer panels (not shown) are attached, enclosing most of the components.System 2 includes particle generator 6,feeder 8 andcontrol panel 10. Generator 6 is depicted as a shaver configured to received a standard size commercially available block of dry ice, such as a 6″×6″×12″ block. - As seen in
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, one end of generator 6 includeshousing 12 within which the particles, or granules, are formed and allowed to flow by gravity to inlet 14 offeeder 8. In the case of a shaver, housing 12 housesrotatable carrier 15 which carries one or moreworking edges 16, which is urged against and moved relative to the dry ice block (not shown) to shave granules off of the block. Particles flow from the block downwardly intoinlet 14 and intocavities 18, also referred to as pockets, formed in the circumferential surface ofrotor 20.Rotor 20 may be driven directly bymotor 22 as shown, such as throughlegs 24, or may be driven indirectly through any suitable power transmission configuration. The particles are transported to discharge 26 offeeder 8, where they are introduced into the transport gas flow, exiting outexit port 28 to which the delivery hose (not shown) is directly or indirectly connected, for transport to the blast nozzle (not shown).Inlet port 30 offeeder 8 is connected to a source of transport gas (not shown) having suitable flow capacity and pressure, such as up to 125 psi. - Carrier 15 is supported and driven by
shaft 32 which is rotatably supported byhousing 12.Drive pulley 34 is fixed toshaft 32, with key 36 preventing rotation therebetween. Any suitable construction may be used to connectdrive pulley 34 non-rotatably toshaft 32, such as splines.Drive pulley 34 is connected toend 38 ofrotor 20 bydrive belt 40.Drive pulley 34 includes a plurality ofteeth 42 which engage complementarily shaped teeth formed on the inside ofdrive belt 40.End 38 also includes a plurality of complementarilyshaped teeth 44 which engage the inside ofdrive belt 40. Anidler 46 may also be used. -
Rotor 20, driven bymotor 22, thus drivescarrier 15 and therefore workingedges 16 at a fixed ratio. This synchronizes the generation of particles by particle generator 6 relative to the feed rate of the particles throughfeeder 8. By synchronizing the rate of production of particles with the rate at which particles are delivered to and from the feeder, the particles are transported immediately into the transport gas, thereby preferably moving continuously, avoiding being in a static state and avoiding agglomerating. - In the embodiment depicted, the ratio is approximately 10:1, with the feed rate of particles being about one pound per minute introduced to a transport gas of 25 to 50 standard cubic feet per minute. Different ratios may be used, depending on the desired feed rate, such as might be necessary when higher flow rate nozzles are utilized.
- Any suitable drive mechanism may be used, such as a chain and sprocket. A variable transmission may be provided, allowing easy use of different flow rate nozzles and transport gas flows.
Motor 22 may be interposed betweenshaft 32 androtor 20, with the appropriate drive mechanisms betweenshaft 32 andmotor 22 androtor 20 andmotor 22. Any suitable source of rotary motion and power may be used. - The foregoing description of a preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Obvious modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to best illustrate the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
