The upstream side detection unit B1 and the downstream side detection unit B2 detect passage of the workpiece W. And when the control part 84 judges that the to-be-processed target object W exists in the range of said 2nd projection zone based on the detection result by upstream detection part B1, and the detection result by downstream detection part B2. Control is performed to open the open / close gate of the flow rate adjusting device 40 (see FIG. 1 and the like) connected to the third projector 42C and the fourth projector 42D so as to project the projection material onto the second projection zone. . Moreover, the control part 84 judged that the to-be-processed target object W does not exist in the range of said 2nd projection zone based on the detection result by upstream detection part B1, and the detection result by downstream detection part B2. In such a case, control is performed to close the open / close gate of the flow rate adjusting device 40 (see FIG. 1 and the like) connected to the third projector 42C and the fourth projector 42D, respectively.

For example, it is a crane-suspended shot blasting apparatus in which a centrifugal projector is fixed to the side wall on the side of the transfer line and the object to be processed is projected while being swiveled, inverted, lifted, tilted, etc. In the apparatus according to the structure, there is a problem that it is difficult to surface-treat the entire surface of the object to be processed unless it is a skilled worker. That is, in the apparatus according to such a conventional structure, for example, the object to be processed is moved up and down by an elevating hoist while arbitrarily tilting the object to be processed by a reversing machine. Specifically, it is difficult to suspend the object to be processed and suspend it in consideration of stability at the time of reversal, etc.) and reverse position. As a result, it is difficult for a non-skilled worker to perform shot blasting on the entire surface of the object to be processed. In addition, when the entire surface of the object to be processed is shot blasted using such an apparatus according to the conventional structure, there is a problem that wasteful projections are extremely increased. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the entire surface of the large workpiece W can be surface-treated while suppressing unnecessary projections even without operation by a skilled worker.

Further, in the apparatus according to the conventional structure described above, since the chain sling for reversing the ceiling surface moves according to the reversal angle, a ceiling seal in the conveyance direction of the object to be processed and a ceiling seal in a direction perpendicular to the ceiling seal are necessary. Becomes complicated. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the problem of such a complicated sealing structure does not occur.

Similarly to the first and second embodiments, the control unit 84 determines whether the object to be processed W is in the projection zone based on the detection result by the upstream detection unit and the detection result by the downstream detection unit. Only when it is determined to be within the range, the operation of the open / close gate of the flow rate adjusting device 40 is controlled so that the projection material is projected onto the projection zone.

In the first projector 42U shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the center line in the projection direction intersects the conveyance line of the workpiece W from the obliquely rear side in the conveyance direction in the side view and from the obliquely lower side in the side view. In addition, since it is installed in a direction along the conveyance line and overlapping with the conveyance line in plan view, the projection material is projected toward the workpiece W from the obliquely rear side in the conveyance direction in the side view and from the obliquely lower side in the side view. To do. The second projector 42V is installed such that the center line in the projection direction intersects the conveyance line of the object W to be processed from the diagonally rear side in the conveyance direction in plan view, diagonally from the left in the conveyance direction in plan view, and from the diagonally upper side in side view. Therefore, the projection material is projected toward the object W to be processed from the obliquely rear side in the conveying direction in plan view and from the obliquely upper side in the conveying direction obliquely left side and side view in plan view. The third projector 42W is installed such that the center line in the projection direction intersects the conveyance line of the object W to be processed from the diagonally rear side in the conveyance direction in plan view, from the diagonally right side in the conveyance direction in plan view, and from the diagonally upper side in side view. Therefore, the projection material is projected toward the object W to be processed from the obliquely rear side in the conveyance direction in a plan view and from the obliquely upper side in the conveyance direction obliquely right side and in a side view in plan view.

The fourth projector 42X has the projection direction center line intersecting the conveyance line of the object W to be processed from the side obliquely in the conveyance direction when viewed from the side and from the obliquely lower side when viewed from the side, and in the plan view. Therefore, the projection material is projected toward the object W to be processed from the obliquely lower side in the front side view and in the side view. The fifth projector 42Y is installed such that the center line in the projection direction intersects the conveyance line of the object W to be processed from the diagonally front side in the conveyance direction in plan view, from the diagonally left side in the conveyance direction in plan view, and from the diagonally upper side in side view. Therefore, the projection material is projected toward the workpiece W from the diagonally front side in the transport direction in a plan view and from the diagonally upper side in the transport direction diagonally to the left and in a side view in plan view. The sixth projector 42Z is installed such that the projection direction center line intersects the conveyance line of the workpiece W to be processed obliquely from the front side in the conveyance direction, from the diagonally right side in the conveyance direction in plan view, and from the diagonally upper side in side view. Therefore, the projection material is projected toward the workpiece W from the diagonally front side in the transport direction in a plan view, from the diagonally right side in the transport direction in a plan view and from the diagonally upper side in a side view.

As described above, according to the shot blasting apparatus 120 according to the present embodiment, the entire surface of the large workpiece W can be surface-treated.

[Supplementary explanation of the embodiment]
In the above embodiment, the shot processing apparatus is the

shot blasting apparatus

10, 110, 120. However, the shot processing apparatus may be a shot peening apparatus or a shot blasting apparatus and shot peening apparatus. Also good.

Further, as a modification of the above-described embodiment, the downstream detection unit is not provided, and the control unit detects that the object to be processed is the projection zone based on the detection result by the upstream detection unit and the moving speed of the suspension. The structure which controls a projection material supply part so that a projection material may be projected on the said projection zone only when it judges that it exists in one of the ranges may be sufficient.

As another modification, a detection unit (a component that detects the passage of the object to be processed is provided only on the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the projection zone that is set on the most upstream side in the conveyance direction without providing the downstream side detection unit. ), And the control unit performs the projection only when it is determined that the object to be processed is within any one of the projection zones based on the detection result of the detection unit and the moving speed of the suspension. The structure which controls a projection material supply part so that a projection material may be projected on a zone may be sufficient.

Further, as a modification of the above embodiment, a configuration in which the second blast chamber 22 (second processing chamber) is not provided may be employed.

In the above embodiment, the intermediate door 20 (partition door) shown in FIG. 1 and the like is provided. However, when the amount of processing is small, a configuration in which the intermediate door (partition door) is not provided is also possible. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which carries out a to-be-processed object from the entrance side by making the conveyance direction of a to-be-processed object into the direction opposite to the time of carrying in after shot processing, without providing the exit door 24 of the said embodiment. . Further, instead of at least one of the entrance door 12, the intermediate door 20 (partition door), and the exit door 24, double or triple so-called rubber warming may be arranged.

Further, as a modified example of the above-described embodiment, a configuration may be adopted in which the height position of the object to be processed W carried into the first blast chamber 16 is changed and the object is passed through the first blast chamber 16 a plurality of times. Good. Alternatively, the object to be processed W may be stopped at an arbitrary position or moved at a low speed (lower than the normal conveying speed) to select an arbitrary polishing finish. Furthermore, you may employ | adopt the method of eliminating the projection of the location which is not required by stopping a projection in the arbitrary positions of a to-be-processed target object.

In addition, the said embodiment and the above-mentioned some modification can be implemented combining suitably.

Although an example of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .
