Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a blasting apparatus and a blasting method for ejecting blasting media to a surface to be treated and roughening the surface to be treated to perform surface preparation.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In the suppression chamber of an atomic power plant facility, the frame is made of concrete, and a pool is constructed by pasting steel plates on its inner wall surface and bottom surface. The outer surface of the steel plates, namely the inner surface of the suppression chamber is coated by recoating it with a plurality of coating materials excellent in corrosion resistance, decontaminability and the like. The repainting construction is carried out with about 10 years after the start of operation as a guide, and as a pre-construction of the repainting construction, a blasting operation of grinding the coating film including radioactive substances on the inner surface and roughening the coated surface to perform surface preparation is performed.
- The blasting operation is performed by a sand blasting technique as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-109029. The sand blasting technique is a technique of causing a blast material such as sand ejected from a nozzle by high speed air to collide against a coated surface and grinding the coating film on the coated surface with the impact force to roughen the surface.
- However, in the sand blasting technique, the blast material rebounds with a strong force, and therefore, there is the problem of scattering of dust particles. There is also the disadvantage that a worker who operates a nozzle has to be heavily equipped to protect his or her body from the blast material that rebounds with a strong force, which impairs workability. Further, it is difficult for the worker to perform the operation with uniform quality because he or she has a poor view due to scattering dust particles.
- Thus, in order to solve such problems, the applicant of the present application proposes a technique of using a blast medium in a sponge piece form with abrasives contained in a porous elastic body, namely, a sponge blasting technique.
- According to the sponge blasting technique, when a sponge blast medium ejected from a nozzle with high speed air collides against a coated surface, the blast medium becomes flat, and the contained abrasives directly collide against the coated surface at a high speed. Thereby, the coating film can be ground and removed as in the sand blasting technique. Dust particles which usually float in the air are taken into the sponge pieces and directly drop, and therefore, there is the advantage of being capable of reducing scattering of dust particles. Further, since the repulsive force is also absorbed by the sponge pieces, rebound is drastically reduced, and thereby, there is provided the advantage that the worker who operates the nozzle can be lightly equipped.
- Incidentally, roughness of the roughened coated surface of the suppression chamber is specified in accordance with the coating material to be coated. Therefore, a worker selects the abrasive of the material corresponding to the roughness, and the worker treats the coated surface to desired roughness as the worker manually repeats the blasting operation and roughness measurement.
- However, the above described conventional blasting operation of the suppression chamber is the operation of manually performing the blasting operation and roughness measurement, which depends on the intuition of a worker, and therefore, there is the demand for standardization and automation of the blasting operation.

Then, the traveling carriage is caused to automatically travel, and while the blast media are ejected to the surface to be treated from the ejection device, and the used blast media are sucked and recovered by the recovery device, the roughness (the arithmetic average roughness, the maximum height, the ten point height of irregularities) of the uneven surface of the surface to be treated which is treated by ejection of the blast media is measured by the roughness measuring device. Then, the feedback control of the ejection amount of the blast media, the ejection pressure, the ejection speed, the ejection air amount, the suction air amount by the above described recovery device, and the speed of the above described traveling carriage is performed so that the measured roughness is within the range of predetermined roughness. Thereby, standardization and automation can be achieved in the blast operation of the surface to be treated of which roughness is specified.
- If the various conditions to achieve the predetermined roughness obtained by the above described feedback control are stored in the storage part of the control unit, and are read at the next time of using the same conditions, the surface to be treated can be treated to have the predetermined roughness from the beginning without performing a feedback control at the next time.

The blast media used in the blasting technique is what is made by containing abrasives of different materials in accordance with use purpose in porous elastic bodies such as sponge, the blast media are ejected to the coated surface by high pressure air, grind the coated surface and roughen the surface.
- According to the blasting technique, when the blast media collide against the coated surface, the blast media become flat, and the abrasives contained therein directly collide against the coated surface at a high speed. Thereby, as in a sand blasting technique, the coated surface can be ground by the abrasives. Dust particles which usually float in the air are taken into the porous elastic bodies and directly drop, and therefore, scattering of dust particles can be prevented. Since the repulsive force is absorbed by the porous elastic bodies, rebound does not occur, and therefore, equipment of a worker can be light.
- According to the blasting apparatus and blasting method of the present invention, the ejection device of the blast media, the recovery device of the blast media and the roughness measuring device are mounted on the traveling carriage which travels and moves on the surface to be treated, then the traveling carriage is caused to travel automatically, and while the blast media are ejected to the surface to be treated from the ejection device, and the used blast media are sucked and recovered by the recovery device, the roughness of the uneven surface of the surface to be treated which is treated by ejection of the blast media is measured by the roughness measuring device. Then, a feedback control of the ejection amount of the blast media, the ejection pressure, the ejection speed, the ejection air amount, the suction air amount by the above described recovery device, and the speed of the above described traveling carriage is performed so that the measured roughness is within the range of the predetermined roughness, and therefore, in the blasting operation of the surface to be treated of which roughness is specified, standardization and automation can be achieved.

-
FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a basic structure of a sponge-shaped porous elastic body blasting apparatus (hereinafter, called a sponge blasting apparatus) 20. - Explaining a sponge blasting technique using the
sponge blasting apparatus 20 first, ablast medium 26 used in this technique is made by sticking abrasives (also called a grinding material in the case of a urea resin) of a different material (steel grit, alumina, star light, a urea resin and the like) in accordance with the roughness (arithmetic average roughness, maximum height, ten point height of irregularities), which is required of a coatedsurface 30, to asponge piece 24 as shown inFIGS. 2A to 2C. In this technique, theblast media 26 are ejected to acoating film 28 on awall 40 by high pressure air, grind thecoating film 28 and roughen the coatedsurface 30 to perform surface preparation. - According to the sponge blasting technique, when the
blast media 26 collide against thecoating film 28 as shown inFIG. 2A , theblast media 26 become flat as shown inFIG. 2B , and theabrasives coating film 28 at a high speed. Thereby, as in the sand blasting technique, thecoating film 28 can be ground as inFIG. 2C .Dust particles sponge pieces 24 and directly drop, and therefore, scattering of dust particles can be prevented. Further, the repulsive force is also absorbed by thesponge pieces 24, and therefore, there is less rebound of theblast media 26. - Therefore,
equipment 36 of aworker 34 who operates thesponge blasting apparatus 20 can be light as shown inFIG. 3 .FIG. 3 shows a view of theworker 34 holding ahose 39 in the vicinity of anozzle 38 of thesponge blasting apparatus 20 with both hands, and ejecting theblast media 26 to thewall 40. Theworker 34 does not have to equip his or her entire body with a protector as in a sand blasting technique, and as for ahelmet 42, an ordinary helmet used in a working site with aface protector 43 formed of a transparent acrylic sheet mounted thereon is used instead of a full-face type helmet which covers all the head portion and the face portion, and theequipment 36 is made extremely light. Thereby, the weight of the equipment is light, and therefore, labor of theworker 34 can be significantly reduced. - The
sponge blasting apparatus 20 is constructed by a spongeblast supply device 50, acompressor 52, anozzle 38, arecovery device 54, arecycle separator 56 and ahopper 58, as shown inFIG. 1 . - High pressure air is supplied from the
compressor 52 and blast media 26 (seeFIG. 2A ) is supplied from thehopper 58 to the spongeblast supply device 50. Theblast media 26 are ejected to thewall 40 at a high speed from a tip end of thenozzle 38 by being transported by air via thehose 39 by the high pressure air from thecompressor 52. Theblast media 26 used for grinding directly drop onto a sheet S in a state in whichdust particles 32, 32 (seeFIG. 2C ) are taken therein, are sucked into therecovery device 54 through ahose 61 from asuction port 60 of therecovery device 54, and fed into therecycle separator 56. - The
recycle separator 56 is constructed by stacking twosieves vibration generator 66. Theblast media 26 are first fed into thesieve 62 with the large sieve openings, and thesieve 62 is vibrated by the vibrator of thevibration generator 66, whereby the large-sized blast media 26 are separated and taken out from thesieve 62. Theblast media 26 which pass through thesieve 62 drop into thesieve 64, and the medium-sized blast media 26 are separated and taken out by thesieve 64 which is similarly vibrated by the vibrator. The large-and medium-sized blast media 26 removed from thesieves hopper 58.Fine blast media 26 which pass through thesieve 64 are not reusable, and therefore, stored in acontainer 68 and discarded.Reusable blast media 26 constitute about 90% of theentire blast media 26. The above is the basic structure of thesponge blasting apparatus 20. -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of ablasting apparatus 70 according to an embodiment, the same or similar members as in thesponge blasting apparatus 20 shown inFIG. 1 toFIG. 3 are described by assigning them with the same reference numerals. - An
apparatus body 72 of the blastingapparatus 70 is a traveling carriage including afront wheel 74 and arear wheel 76 of a permanent magnet, and by magnetically attaching thefront wheel 74 and therear wheel 76 to thecoated surface 30 of a steel plate, theapparatus body 72 is mounted to be capable of traveling and moving along thecoated surface 30. In the embodiment, thefront wheel 74 and therear wheel 76 are made of the permanent magnet, but they may be of an electromagnet. - Further,
rubber seal members 78 are fixed to opening end portions of theapparatus body 72, and theseal members 78 are caused to abut on thecoated surface 30 with elasticity, whereby theinternal space 73 of theapparatus body 72 is sealed. Thereby, theblast media 26 ejected in theinternal space 73 is prevented from leaking out of theapparatus body 72. - Further, a
pressure sensor 80 which detects internal pressure of theinternal space 73 is mounted to theapparatus body 72, and the information indicating the pressure detected by thepressure sensor 80 is outputted to a CPU (control unit) 82 shown inFIG. 5 . TheCPU 82 is a central processing unit which has a centralized control over theentire blasting apparatus 70 such as the spongeblast supply device 50, thecompressor 52, therecovery device 54 and the like. TheCPU 82 will be described later. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , theapparatus body 72 is provided with thenozzle 38 and thesuction port 60 to penetrate through theinternal space 73. When theapparatus body 72 is magnetically attached to thecoated surface 30, thenozzle 38 and thesuction port 60 are opposed to thecoated surface 30, and theblast media 26 are ejected to thecoated surface 30 from thenozzle 38 while the usedblast media 26 which collide against thecoated surface 30 are sucked and recovered from thesuction port 60. - Probe type roughness meters (roughness measuring devices) 84 and 84 which measure the roughness of the uneven surface of the
coated surface 30 which is ground by ejection of theblast media 26 are provided at a front portion and a rear portion of theapparatus body 72. The information indicating the roughness measured by theroughness meter 84 is outputted to theCPU 82 shown inFIG. 5 . When theapparatus body 72 is moved upward, the information indicating roughness measured by theroughness meter 84 at the rear portion is outputted to theCPU 82, and when theapparatus body 72 is moved downward, the information indicating the roughness measured by theroughness meter 84 at the front portion is outputted to theCPU 82. In the embodiment, an example of the probe (contact)type roughness meter 84 is shown, but the roughness meter is not limited to this, and a non-contact type roughness meter may be applied. - The
roughness meters apparatus body 72 via advancing and retreatingdevices FIG. 4 , and only at the time of measurement, they are advanced toward thecoated surface 30 and brought into contact with thecoated surface 30. The advancing and retreatingdevices CPU 82, and a motor 88 (not shown inFIG. 4 , shown inFIG. 5 ) which drives thefront wheel 74 and/or therear wheel 76 is also remotely controlled by theCPU 82. The advancing and retreatingdevices motor 88 are supplied with power from acable 83 shown inFIG. 4 , and thecable 83 is inserted into thehose 85 connected to theapparatus body 72. Thecable 83 may be placed along thehoses hose 85. - Meanwhile, the
apparatus body 72 is provided with anelectronic camera 90 which picks up an image of thecoated surface 30 ground by ejection of theblast media 26. The image data of thecoated surface 30 picked up by theelectronic camera 90 is outputted to theCPU 82 inFIG. 5 . TheCPU 82 compares the image obtained by theelectronic camera 90 and a reference image (sample image) previously stored, and determines the rust removal degree of thecoated surface 30 and the pattern of the stripped plane (anchor pattern). - Next, an operation of the blasting
apparatus 70 constructed as above will be described. - First, the
apparatus body 72 on which thenozzle 38, thesuction port 60, thepressure sensor 80, theroughness meters 84 and theelectronic camera 90 are mounted is magnetically attached to thecoated surface 30 via thefront wheel 74 and therear wheel 76 of the permanent magnet. - Next, by driving the
front wheel 74 and/or therear wheel 76 by themotor 88, theapparatus body 72 is caused to travel upward automatically, and while theblast media 26 are ejected to thecoated surface 30 from thenozzle 38 and the usedblast media 26 are sucked and recovered by thesuction port 60, roughness (arithmetic average roughness, maximum height, ten point height of irregularities) of the uneven surface of thecoated surface 30 ground by the ejection of theblast media 26 is measured by theroughness meter 84. - The
CPU 82 controls at least one of the sponge blastingsupply device 50, thecompressor 52, therecovery device 54 and themotor 88 so that the measured roughness is within a range of predetermined roughness corresponding to the coating, and performs a feedback control of at least one of an ejection amount of theblast media 26, ejection pressure, ejection speed, an ejection air amount, a suction air amount, and speed of theapparatus body 72. - Thereby, according to the
blasting apparatus 70 of the embodiment, in the blasting operation of thecoated surface 30 of which roughness is specified, standardization and automation can be achieved. - The various conditions to make the predetermined roughness obtained by the above described feedback control are stored in a storage part of the
CPU 82. The various conditions are read from the storage part and used at the next time when the next same conditions are used. Thereby, at the time of the next operation, thecoated surface 30 can be treated to have predetermined roughness from the beginning without performing a feedback control. - Further, the
CPU 82 compares the coated surface image after a blast operation which is picked up by theelectronic camera 90 of theapparatus body 72, and the reference image (sample image) previously stored, and the rust removal degree of thecoated surface 30 specified by ISO and the anchor pattern are determined. The rust removal degree and the anchor pattern are determined by comparing gradations of the images, for example. Therefore, according to theblasting apparatus 70 of the embodiment, the blasting operation of thecoated surface 30, and the rust removal degree determining operation and/or the anchor pattern determining operation can be simultaneously performed The determination result by theCPU 82 may be outputted from a printer or may be displayed on a display. - Since the blasting
apparatus 70 is for performing a blasting operation while moving on thecoated surface 30 up and down, an over blast phenomenon in which portions which overlap the adjacent coated surface are ground more than the other portions sometimes occurs, and distribution sometimes occurs to roughness. In order to prevent this problem, in theblasting apparatus 70 of the embodiment, the number ofblast media 26 which are ejected to the overlapping portions is made smaller than that of theblast media 26 ejected to the central portion, and adjustment is made so that the same amount is blasted to each portion as a result. - After the
blasting apparatus 70 moves upward, when the blasting apparatus is to move downward, thefront wheel 74 and/or therear wheel 76 which are magnetically attached are or is operated with a handle (not shown), and the overlapping regions of thecoated surface 30 last surface) to be ground can be made as small as possible. - In the embodiment, the
sponge blast medium 26 in which abrasives are contained in the porous elastic body is described as the blast medium, but the blast medium is not limited to this, and may be a sand blast medium.
