Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus and process for surface treating a boundary wall of an interior chamber associated with a workpiece such as a casting.
  • interior chambers formed therein which have only limited accessibility.
  • Such interior chambers are often shaped and sized so that portions thereof are of significantly larger cross section than any access opening which communicates therewith, and such interior chambers also often include passages or the like which communicate with or project transversely from a main chamber or passage, and as such direct communication with these transverse passages from the access opening is oftentimes difficult or impossible. It is usually necessary to attempt to effect at least some treatment of the walls which define the boundary of the interior chamber in an effort to improve the smoothness and finish thereof, and/or effect removal of debris which may be loosely or firmly attached thereto.
  • the cleaning of the interior chambers of workpieces of this type involves various techniques such as shaking the workpiece on a vibrator, or injecting streams of fluids such as air or water into the chamber in an attempt to dislodge debris from the chamber or from the walls thereof.
  • This technique is relatively ineffective with respect to creating any significant improvement with respect to the smoothness or quality of the boundary walls.
  • the workpiece such as a casting has an interior compartment or chamber therein defined by boundary walls, and a pair of generally aligned access openings are formed in opposite side walls of the workpiece and communicate with the interior chamber.
  • the interior chamber may be enlarged in cross section relative to at least one of the access openings, and typically has passages projecting transversly therefrom so as to be disposed in non-aligned relationship relative to the access openings.
  • a pair of elongate pipelike nozzle members having nozzle openings or apertures at the discharge ends thereof are disposed in aligned relationship so that the nozzle openings are disposed in opposed relationship.
  • the nozzle members are mounted on carriers which enable them to be moved in the elongate direction thereof generally toward and away from one another, and synchronously in unison with one another along the elongate direction.
  • Each of the nozzle members has the discharge opening configured to discharge a confined and approximately cylindrical stream therefrom, and each nozzle member is connected to a supply source which supplies a blasting fluid such as air to the nozzle members.
  • the blasting fluid has entrained therein small solid abrasive particles.
  • the pair of nozzle members are initially inserted from opposite sides of the workpiece through the access openings into the interior chamber so that the opposed discharge ends of the nozzles are positioned in closely adjacent and opposed relationship, with a gap or spacing between the discharge ends typically being of relatively small size.
  • the nozzles When energized the nozzles both emit high velocity confined streams of blasting fluid having abrasive particles entrained therein.
  • the streams are oriented directly toward one another and hence almost immediately impact one against the other following their discharge from the nozzle members.
  • the direct impacting of these two confined streams creates a violent reorientation of the high velocity flowing streams so that the merged streams are violently deflected radially outwardly around substantially the entire periphery of the streams and hence impact at relatively high velocity against the surrounding boundary wall of the interior chamber.
  • the pair of nozzle members are linearly synchronously moved throughout the length of the interior chamber, and may be moved back and forth throughout the length of the chamber to create several passes, to effect surface treatment and finishing of the boundary wall.
  • the radially outwardly directed high velocity blasting fluid created by the impact of the opposed streams, coupled with the movement of the nozzle members lengthwise of the interior chamber, causes the high velocity blasting streams containing therein the abrasive particles to violently impact against the boundary wall, including walls which are angled or project transverse to the lengthwise direction, so as to effect surface finishing and removing of loose debris, thereby resulting in a wall having a highly improved surface finish.
  • the radially deflected streams of blasting fluid are able to pass into transverse passages or compartments which branch sidewardly from a main portion of the chamber so as to effect cleaning and surface treatment of the walls associated therewith.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an overall work finishing station which can be used in conjunction with the surface treating apparatus and process of the present invention.

  • FIGS. 1 - 3 there is illustrated one example of a workpiece finishing station 11 which can be utilized in conjunction with the surface treating apparatus and process of this invention.
  • the arrangement 11 includes a main housing 12 which has the surface treatment apparatus 10 of this invention associated therewith, as defined hereinafter.
  • the housing 12 defines therein an interior or shrouded treating chamber 13 , and a rotatable workpiece-supporting turntable 14 is associated with the chamber 13 to permit workpieces to be mounted thereon.
  • the table 14 has two diametrically opposed stations or fixtures so that one can be positioned within the treating chamber 13 , and the other can be externally accessible from one side of the station 11 so that workpieces can be removed from and mounted on the turntable 14 , either manually or automatically.
  • a transporting conveyor 15 is associated with the lower part of the housing 12 so as to collect and transport the abrasive particles and debris which is utilized or created in the finishing process, and this collection of solids is transported to an elevating conveyor 16 .
  • the latter in turn transports the solid material upwardly and deposits it into a chute 17 whereby the solid material is fed into a separator 18 , such as a cyclone separator.
  • the unwanted debris and other solid matter is typically discharged downwardly into a collection hopper 19 , whereas the particulate abrasive media is separated and sent through a conduit 21 so as to be resupplied to a chamber 22 for reuse.
  • the abrasive media in the compartment 22 is thereafter entrained in a supply of pressurized carrier fluid such as air or water, and the pressurized media (i.e., the fluid with entrained abrasive particles) is then supplied to the surface treating apparatus 10 for treating a workpiece, as explained hereinafter.
  • pressurized carrier fluid such as air or water
  • the workpiece W which is to be treated is secured by means of a fixture including a lower fixture plate 24 which is fixed to and rotates with the table 14 about its axis 27 , the table 14 having a pair of these bottom fixture plates 24 mounted thereon adjacent diametrically opposite sides of the turntable.
  • the fixturing arrangement also includes a top fixture plate 25 which is secured to and vertically movable by means of an actuator 26 , such as a fluid pressure cylinder, whereby the workpiece W which is positioned within the treating chamber is fixedly held between the bottom and top fixture plates 24 and 25 , respectively.
  • this apparatus includes first and second nozzle assemblies 31 and 32 , respectively, which are disposed adjacent opposite sides of the treating chamber 13 and are oriented generally toward one another.

  • the second nozzle assembly 32 is secured to and moves with a second support assembly 34 , the latter being slidably supported on the first support assembly 33 .
  • the first support assembly 33 in turn is slidably supported on a stationary guide structure 35 .
  • the slidable supportive relationship between the supports 33 and 34 and guide structure 35 is such as to permit the first support 33 to be slidable generally horizontally in FIG. 4, and the second support 34 is also supported on the first support assembly for generally horizontal reciprocating movement, whereby the support assemblies 33 and 34 thus are each linearly slidable in generally parallel relationship to one another, with the direction of movement in the illustrated embodiment being generally horizontal.
  • first drive unit 36 which is drivingly coupled between the first support unit 33 and the stationary guide structure 35 .
  • second support unit 34 is slidably moveable relative to the first support unit 33 by a second drive unit 37 which is drivingly connected between the first and second support assemblies 33 and 34 .
  • the stationary guide structure 35 includes a stationary support member 41 which is horizontally enlarged and which, on the underside thereof, mounts a pair of sidewardly spaced and generally parallel guide rails 42 which are horizontally elongated. These latter guide rails provide a slidable coupling with the first or primary support assembly 33 which includes a horizontally enlarged primary slide member 43 which is positioned below the support member 41 and mounts thereon, adjacent opposite ends thereof, sidewardly spaced pairs of support guides 44 and 45 , the latter being disposed for linear slidable engagement with the guide rails 42 .
  • the slide guides 44 and 45 are preferably formed generally equivalent to recirculating ball slides, such being conventional and well known, to facilitate low-friction linear movement of the guides 44 and 45 along the guide rails 42 .

  • the drive motor 51 When the workpiece is positioned in the treating station, then the drive motor 51 is energized so that nozzle 71 A is moved inwardly into the treating station and into an access opening formed in the workpiece W so as to traverse the interior chamber thereof, as described in greater detail hereinafter, until the opposed nozzles 71 and 71 A are disposed with their discharge openings 74 and 74 A in closely adjacent but slightly spaced relationship.
  • the motor 51 When in this position, the motor 51 is de-energized and thus independent linear displacement of secondary slide member 47 is prevented.
  • motor 61 is energized so that primary slide 43 is linearly slidably displaced, which in turn causes the secondary slide to move synchronously therewith, whereupon both nozzle assemblies are displaced transversely relative to the workpiece.
  • the motor 61 can be alternately reversely energized to cause the primary slide member 41 , as well as the secondary slide member 47 carried thereon, to be linearly moved in a back-and-forth manner so that the tips of the nozzles effectively traverse, in a back-and-forth fashion, the interior chamber of the workpiece.

  • the flow of the blasting media into these transverse passages 88 results in impingement of the high velocity blasting media against the side walls of the branch passages 88 due to the somewhat random orientation of the blasting media as it is deflected outwardly, and additionally due to the movement of the nozzle members and the corresponding translation of the annular spray pattern 92 along the main chamber portion 86 in response to the nozzle member movement.
  • the timing and/or speed of movement of the nozzle members can be appropriately programmed to permit the nozzle members to either momentarily pause and/or move at a slower rate so as to provide more intensive surface treatment at selected locations along the travel path.

  • the track 156 is fixedly positioned in a suitable manner, such as by being secured adjacent opposite ends thereof to the sidewalls of the outer cabinet 112 .
  • the transverse shifting mechanism 151 includes a driving unit 157 , preferably in extendable/contractable fluid pressure cylinder, the latter having its housing 158 secured to the support track 156 .
  • the piston rod 159 of the pressure cylinder 157 projects outwardly from the housing generally parallel to the elongate direction of the support track 156 , and the remote or free end of the piston rod 159 is connected to the carriage 153 so as to control the reciprocating movement thereof lengthwise along the support track 156 .
  • the carriage 153 mounts thereon a follower or sensor 161 which cooperates with a position controller 162 which is stationarily positioned adjacent and extends generally parallel with the direction of movement of the carriage 153 .
  • the position controller defines thereon a plurality of position defining structures, such as the three position defining slots designated 163 A, 163 B and 163 C. These position defining slots cooperate with the follower or sensor 161 during movement of the support 152 so as to permit transverse horizontal shifting of the nozzle supporting mechanism 129 carried by the support 152 to thereby permit the nozzle supporting member 129 to be positioned in one of several different discrete operational positions as defined by the different slots 163 .
  • the providing of three slots as in the illustrated embodiment is intended to permit the nozzle supporting mechanism 129 , and the nozzles carried thereby, to be positioned in three discrete transversely-spaced positions, each of which enables the nozzles to cooperate with different discrete interior passage associated with a workpiece.
  • the speed controller 148 as briefly discussed above is defined by a plurality of individual speed control panels or tracks as designated 165 A, 165 B and 165 C, each having a timing track 166 extending longitudinally along an edge thereof and positioned for cooperation with the follower or sensor 149 .
  • the individual speed control tracks or panels 165 A through 165 C are disposed in parallel but spaced transverse relationship relative to the direction of nozzle movement, and in particular are transversely spaced so that when the follower 149 associated with the shifting mechanism support 152 is respectfully engaged in the slots 163 A, 163 B and 163 C, the follower 149 as provided on the nozzle support 133 is positioned for engagement with the speed control panels 165 A, 165 B and 165 C respectively.
  • the timing track 166 as associated with each of the speed control panels may be designed so as to provide the desired control over both the speed, the variation of the speed, and the travel distance of the nozzles as they traverse lengthwise of the respective interior workpiece passage.
  • the timing track 166 enables the speed of the nozzles to be varied during the stroke thereof, such as by varying the speed of movement of the driving piston rod 143 by controlling the supply of pressure fluid to the driving cylinder 141 .
  • the speed of the nozzles can be varied at various points along the stroke, and for various lengths along the stroke, so as to permit control over the abrasive blasting which occurs within the workpiece as the nozzles traverse along the passage.
  • the intensity of the abrasive blasting which occurs as the nozzles traverse the workpiece passage can be suitably adjusted so as to provide increased blasting time in those areas which are more difficult to surface treat, while at the same time permitting reduced blasting time in those regions of the workpiece passage which require less surface treatment.
  • Controllers similar to the speed control panels 165 are well known, so that further detailed description thereof is believed unnecessary.
  • the machine 110 is particularly desirable for permitting sequential surface treating of multiple interior passages or chambers associated with a single workpiece, and in particular is illustrated for permitting sequential surface treating of three discrete chambers in a workpiece, such as the passages or chambers designated 81 A, 81 B and 81 C in FIG. 7.
  • the pressure cylinder 157 associated with the transverse shifting mechanism is energized so as to shift the carriage 153 , and the nozzle support mechanism 129 carried thereby, transversely until the sensor 161 aligns with the position locator 163 A.
  • the pressure cylinder 157 is stopped so as to stop the carriage 153 in this position wherein the opposed nozzle members 171 and 171 A are in aligned relationship with the interior passage or chamber 81 A of the workpiece.
  • the rightward end of pressure cylinder 143 A is then energized so as to pull the support 134 inwardly (i.e. rightwardly) until the carriage 136 A abuts the stop surface 146 .
  • the nozzle 171 A projects into and traverses along the length of passage 81 A and, upon contact with the stop surface 146 , the nozzle tip 174 A is disposed closely adjacent and is spaced from the opposed nozzle tip 174 by a very small gap, typically in the range of 0.100 to 0.300 inch.
  • the rightward end of drive cylinder 142 A is then connected to exhaust, and the leftward end of drive cylinder 142 is energized so as to drive the support 133 rightwardly along the track 139 , thereby causing the nozzle 171 to enter into and pass lengthwise along the interior passage 81 A.
  • the engagement of the stop surface 146 against the abutment surface 147 on carrier 136 A causes the nozzle member 171 A to move synchronously with the nozzle 171 along the length of the passage 81 A while maintaining the predefined gap between the opposed nozzle tips 174 and 174 A.
  • the sensor or follower 149 associated with carriage 136 moves into contact with the time track 166 and hence effects initiation of flow of blasting media to the opposed nozzles 171 and 171 A.
  • the sensor senses the variations in the timing track 166 and hence causes the speed of movement of the nozzles to be appropriately varied according to the predefined program. For example, the speed of the nozzles will typically be slowed down when the gap between the nozzle tips is moving through that portion of the passage 81 A which communicates with the transverse passages 88 so as to provide for more intensive surface treatment of the transverse passages.
  • the timing track may also effect slowing down of the nozzle speed when the nozzle tips move from a small diameter cross section of passage 81 A into a larger diameter portion of the passage so as to permit more intensive surface treating in view of the increased surface area and greater spacing of the walls from the nozzle tips.
  • the actual programming of the nozzle speed and variations thereof will obviously take into account the overall configuration of the interior passage being finished, and the regions thereof which require more intensive surface treatment.
  • the sensor 149 will sense the end of the timing track 166 so as to effectively shut off flow of abrasive media to the nozzles, and substantially simultaneously the drive cylinders 142 and 142 A will both be appropriately energized so as to retract both nozzles 171 and 171 A back to their initial positions wherein they are extracted from the workpiece as illustrated in FIG. 11.
  • the shifting cylinder 157 is then energized to transversely shift the carriage 153 and the nozzle support mechanism mounted thereon transversely into engagement with position locator 163 B, whereupon the nozzles 171 - 171 A are now aligned with opposite ends of the interior passage 81 B.
  • the blasting of this passage is then carried out in the same manner as described above relative to the passage 81 A.
  • the sensor or follower 149 now cooperates with a timing track provided on the speed control panel 165 B, and hence the motion pattern of the nozzles as they traverse the passage 181 B can be uniquely customized for this passage.
  • the transverse shifting mechanism can then move the nozzle support mechanism back to its start up position, if desired, and the finished workpiece can be removed from the blasting chamber and a new workpiece then inserted into the chamber so as to permit surface treatment of the interior passages thereof in the same manner as described above.
  • the spacing or gap between the nozzle tips 174 and 174 A when in the blasting position can be suitably adjusted as desired by adjusting the longitudinal extension of the stop member 144 .
  • the blasting media in one preferred arrangement, utilizes air as the blasting fluid so as to permit desired impacting of the blasted abrasive media against the walls of the chamber while at the same time permitting the air to escape from the chamber through annular clearance spaces which exist where the nozzle members project through the access openings.
  • the abrasive media may assume many different conventional shapes, sizes and materials and, in one embodiment, may involve small metal balls or shot since experimental testing has indicated that such perform in a desirable manner.
  • the present invention is believed to provide effective blasting over a wide range of nozzle discharge velocities, which range may vary from as low as from about 30 feet per second up to as high as about 250 feet per second.
  • the actual range which will more commonly be used, however, will be based on the pressure of the available pressurized air which, in typical manufacturing facilities, is about 80 to 90 psi.
  • the nozzle members such as illustrated by nozzles 71 and 171 preferably have an overall length which is several orders of magnitude greater than the diameter of the bore or passage extending throughout the nozzle so as to enable the abrasive media, when flowing through the elongate passage of the nozzle, to utilize the high velocity of the carrier fluid (i.e. air) to effect appropriate acceleration of the abrasive particles so that such particles, upon discharge from the nozzle, are traveling at high speed.
  • the nozzle members preferably has a length such that the straight discharge passage therein will be at least about 8 inches long, whereas the passage may have a diameter of about one-fourth inch or less.
  • the abrasive particles will already be entrained in the pressurized high-velocity carrier fluid as it is supplied to the nozzle members, such as illustrated by FIG. 6, nevertheless it will be apparent that other nozzle constructions can be utilized, including nozzles which are supplied with the carrier fluid and which, by creation of a vacuum, effect sucking of the abrasive into a mixing chamber of the nozzle so as to entrain the abrasive within the carrier fluid.
  • the nozzles as in the illustrated embodiment are preferred since this simplifies the nozzle construction and enables the nozzle member to be formed as an elongate but small diameter member so as to permit its penetration into and through the small openings and chambers associated with the workpiece.
  • the high-velocity pressurized blasting media i.e., the blasting fluid with blasting media entrained therein
  • the blasting media supplied to the opposed nozzles are provided with equal pressure, and are each provided with abrasive media entrained therein so as to cause the opposed discharged streams to violently directly impact against one another and thereby cause a substantially uniform radially outward annular dispersion of the high-velocity blasting media so as to cause it to impact with high energy against the surrounding walls or penetrate into the transverse chambers and passages.
  • the media may involve a wide variety of particulate solid material, including plastic abrasives, metal grit, glass beads, metal shot and the like, although use of spherical abrasive media may consistently provide higher performance characteristics.
  • the abrasive media which is supplied to and entrained in the blasting streams can be shut off so that solely the pressurized carrier fluid is supplied to the opposed nozzles, which opposed nozzles can still be linearly moved throughout the length of the interior chamber, such as by use of a valve V as shown in FIG. 6, whereupon the carrier fluid can be used to effect flushing of abrasive and debris from the interior chamber.
  • the invention described above utilizes elongate rigid pipe-like nozzle members for penetration into the interior chamber of the workpiece
  • the elongate rigid nozzle member may be replaced by a suitable flexible conduit or hose having a nozzle tip, such as a carbide tip at the end of the hose for controlling the discharge of the blasting media.
  • a suitable flexible conduit or hose having a nozzle tip, such as a carbide tip at the end of the hose for controlling the discharge of the blasting media.
  • Use of such flexible nozzle member may be advantageous in situations where portions of an interior chamber are difficult to access, although use of a flexible hose may result in increased wear problem with respect to confinement of the blasting media.
  • the opposed nozzle assemblies can each be independently supported and/or driven.
  • each nozzle assembly could be provided with its own independent movable support so that each nozzle assembly could be driven independent of the other, with synchronous and simultaneous movement of the two nozzle assemblies so as to maintain uniform spacing between the discharge openings thereof being achieved by simultaneous and synchronous activation of the individual drives for the different nozzle assembly supports so as to effect the desired traversing of the opposed nozzles within the interior chamber of the workpiece during the blasting operation.
  • the opposed nozzle assemblies could be synchronously and/or independently driven from a single driving source, which driving source would be appropriately interconnected to the opposed nozzle assemblies through separate drive trains which could be appropriately engaged or disengaged so as to provide desired control over the movement of the nozzle assemblies.
