- oxidized iron is removed from a surface of the steel sheet to expose a base material thereof, rustproof coating is performed thereon, and a work such as cutting or welding is performed thereon in this state.
- a cutting speed may be decreased during the cutting or a blowhole may be formed during the welding in accordance with constituents of rustproof paint, which may cause a welding defect or the like.
- a rustproof coating is peeled along a desired cutting line or welding line to expose a surface of a workpiece, information such as a cutting line, a welding line, or a symbol of a member to be welded is marked on the exposed surface, and then cutting or welding is performed along the mark.

- Next, a configuration of a marker for grinding and cleaning according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to
Fig. 1 . - In
Fig. 1 , acarriage 1 is formed as a transverse carriage of a door-shaped travelingcarriage 1a so that the carriage is movable in a desired direction by the combination of the linear traveling movement of the travelingcarriage 1a and the transverse traveling movement in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the travelingcarriage 1a. For thecarriage 1, a carriage of a numerically-controlled cutting device (a gas cutting device, a plasma cutting device, a laser cutting device, or the like) may be used. - An
elevation bracket 2 is provided in thecarriage 1 to be elevatable. That is, theelevation bracket 2 is provided in thecarriage 1 through anelevation device 3, and is configured to be elevated with respect to thecarriage 1 with driving of theelevation motor 3a. In the embodiment, theelevation bracket 2 and theelevation device 3 constitute a primary elevation member. - A turning device 5 is provided in the
elevation bracket 2. The turning device 5 includes: a turningshaft 5a; abearing block 5b which supports the turningshaft 5a to be rotatable; a turningmotor 5c; agear train 5d which transmits the rotation of the turningmotor 5c to the turningshaft 5a; aturning arm 5e which is fixed to protrude in the horizontal direction with respect to the turningshaft 5a; and aturning bracket 5f which is provided at the front end of theturning arm 5e. - A marking member A is attached to a lower end portion of the turning
shaft 5a. The center of the marking member A is disposed to be aligned with the center 7 (turning center 7) of the turningshaft 5a, and when the turningshaft 5a rotates, the marking member A rotates about theturning center 7. Accordingly, even when the turningshaft 5a rotates, the center position of the marking member A with respect to theturning center 7 does not change. That is, in the embodiment, the marking member A is used as a base line. - In the embodiment, the marking member A includes a
marking block 6 in which a plurality of holes is disposed on the surface in a matrix shape. When a liquid paint supply unit (not shown) connected to each hole is selectively driven, the liquid paint may be continuously or intermittently sprayed. - A plurality of
height detection sensors 8 is disposed around the marking member A and is attached to abracket 8a fixed to themarking block 6. Then, the distance from the marking member to the surface of the workpiece C is measured by using thesensor 8, and theelevation motor 3a is driven in response to the measurement signal so that a gap between the markingmember 6 and the workpiece C is maintained within a constant range at all times. - For example, when a gap between the workpiece A and any one of the
sensor 8 is larger than a predetermined distance, theelevation motor 3a is driven in response to the signal from thesensor 8 so that theelevation bracket 2 and the markingmember 6 are moved downward. When the gap between the workpiece A and thesensor 8 is smaller than the predetermined distance, the markingmember 6 may be moved downward. - A grinding-cleaning member B is provided at the
turning bracket 5f. The distance from theturning center 7 of the turningshaft 5a to thecenter line 10 of the grinding-cleaning member B is set to a predetermined value. Then, when the turningmotor 5c is driven, thecenter line 10 may be turned about theturning center 7. That is, the grinding-cleaning member B may be turned about the marking member A. - In the embodiment, a
shot blasting device 11 is used for the grinding-cleaning member B. Theshot blasting device 11 includes: acylindrical nozzle 11a which sprays sand granules or steel balls (sands) to the surface of the workpiece C; asupply port 11b which is connected to a supply unit (not shown) supplying sands to thenozzle 11a; and acollection port 11c which is connected to a collection unit (not shown) collecting the sands sprayed from thenozzle 11a. Particularly, abrush 11d is provided at the front end of thenozzle 11a to prevent sands from being scattered. - A plurality of
rotatable rollers 12 is disposed around the grinding-cleaning member B and is attached to abracket 12a fixed to thenozzle 11a. The dimension of eachroller 12 is set to have a good positional relationship between the contact surface and thenozzle 11a of the grinding-cleaning member B, where the positional relationship indicates that the workpiece is highly efficiently ground and cleaned by sprayed sands. Then, when theroller 12 contacts the surface of the workpiece C, the distance between thenozzle 11a and the surface of the workpiece C may be maintained. - The grinding-cleaning member B is configured to be movable in the lifting and lowering direction by a lifting and lowering
device 13 disposed at theturning bracket 5f. In the embodiment, the lifting and loweringdevice 13 includes an air cylinder and is configured to follow the lifting and lowering movement of theroller 12 moving and contacting the surface of the workpiece C without particularly applying a force in the down direction after the grinding-cleaning member B is moved downward so that theroller 12 contacts the surface of the workpiece C. In the embodiment, theroller 12 and the lifting and loweringdevice 13 constitute a secondary elevation member. - An initial
height setting device 15 is provided at the side surface of the turningshaft 5a. The initialheight setting device 15 is used to set the initial distances of the marking member A and the grinding-cleaning member B from the surface of the workpiece C when starting a grinding-cleaning work with respect to the workpiece C. For this reason, the initialheight setting device 15 is formed as an air cylinder in which acontactor 15a is attached to the front end thereof. - Next, a sequence of grinding and cleaning the surface of the workpiece C using the marker for grinding and cleaning having the above-described configuration and forming a mark on the exposed surface will be described. Furthermore, the sequence of the work to be described is merely an example, and the invention is not, of course, limited to the sequence.
- First, the
carriage 1 is moved in response to a command transmitted from a control device (not shown) while theelevation bracket 2 is moved upward, and the marking member A (turning center 7) is made to face the marking start position of the workpiece C. Subsequently, the grinding-cleaning member B is turned about the marking member A to following the direction of the predetermined process line. - That is, the turning
shaft 5a is turned in the desired direction by driving the turningmotor 5c to correspond to the direction of the desired process line about the turning center 7 (the marking member A), so that the direction of the line connecting theturning center 7 and the center line 10 (the grinding-cleaning member B) follows the desired process line. At this time, the line connecting theturning center 7 and thecenter line 10 may not be aligned with the process line. In other words, the center of the marking portion formed by the marking member A may not be aligned with the center of the grinding-cleaning portion formed by the grinding-cleaning member B. - For example, when the desired process line is a cutting line, the marking line formed by the marking member A is substantially aligned with the process line. For this reason, it is desirable that the direction of the line connecting the
turning center 7 and thecenter line 10 is aligned with the direction of the desired process line. - However, when the desired process line is a welding line, the marking line formed by the marking member A is not aligned with the center of the welding portion, and the marking line is aligned with one surface of a member to be welded to the workpiece C. That is, when the desired process line is the welding line, the marking line is formed at a position deviated from the center of the welding portion toward one side by about 1/2 of the thickness of the welding member. For this reason, the
turning center 7 of the marking member A is set to a position deviated from the desired process line by about 1/2 of the thickness of the welding member, and thecenter line 10 of the grinding-cleaning member B is set to a position aligned with the center of the welding portion. - As described above, the direction of the
center line 10 is set to satisfy the work condition and the direction of the desired process line, and the center line is turned about theturning center 7. Accordingly, the grinding-cleaning member B is turned about the marking member A - Next, the initial
height setting device 15 is operated to move thecontactor 15a downward. Subsequently, theelevation motor 3a is driven to move theelevation bracket 2 downward, so that the marking member A, the grinding-cleaning member B, and the initialheight setting device 15 are simultaneously moved downward. When thecontactor 15a of the initialheight setting device 15 contacts the surface of the workpiece C with the downward movement of theelevation bracket 2, the driving of theelevation motor 3a is stopped. - Subsequently, the
contactor 15a of the initialheight setting device 15 is moved upward, so that the distance between the marking member A and the surface of the workpiece C (the height of thenozzle block 6 from the workpiece C) is set to the initial height. In this state, the marking member A and the grinding-cleaning member B are both maintained at the height distant from the surface of the workpiece C, and thesensor 8 is not operated yet. - The
carriage 1 is moved while maintaining the state where the marking member A and the grinding-cleaning member B are distant from the surface of the workpiece C, and the grinding-cleaning member B is made to face the marking start position of the workpiece C. Subsequently, the lifting and loweringdevice 13 provided at theturning bracket 5f is operated to move the grinding-cleaning member B downward. Theroller 12 attached to thenozzle 11a contacts the surface of the workpiece C with the downward movement of the grinding-cleaning member B, and compressed air having a pressure following the lifting and lowering movement of theroller 12 is supplied to the air cylinder constituting the lifting and loweringdevice 13. - When the
roller 12 contacts the surface of the workpiece C, the front end portion of thebrush 11d provided at the lower end of thenozzle 11a contacts the surface of the workpiece C, and a closed space is formed by thenozzle 11a and thebrush 11d. - The
sensors 8 disposed around the marking member A are operated after the grinding-cleaning member B is made to face the marking start position as described above. Thesensors 8 detect a distance between the markingblock 6 and the surface of the workpiece C, and transmit a signal to a control unit. - Subsequently, sand is supplied to the
nozzle 11a constituting the grinding-cleaning member B, and is sprayed toward the surface of the workpiece C, thereby grinding and cleaning the surface of the workpiece C. At this time, since a closed space is formed on the surface of the workpiece C by thenozzle 11a and thebrush 11d, the sprayed sand is collected from thecollection port 11c without being scattered to the outside. - The
carriage 1 is moved to be aligned with the marking line set in accordance with the desired process line with the operation of the grinding-cleaning member B, and the marking member A is operated with the movement of thecarriage 1, thereby forming a marking line or a symbol on the surface of the workpiece C. That is, when liquid paint is continuously sprayed from one hole selected from the plurality of holes formed in themarking block 6 constituting the marking member A while thecarriage 1 is moved to be aligned with the marking line, the marking line may be formed. Further, when liquid paint is intermittently sprayed from the plurality of holes formed in themarking block 6 while thecarriage 1 is stopped, a symbol including a character or a numeral may be formed by a plurality of dots. - When the above-described work is continuously performed, the surface of the workpiece C is ground and cleaned, so that a base material may be exposed and a marking line or a symbol may be formed on the exposed surface.
- Particularly, when the marking line to be formed is a curve, the grinding-cleaning member B is turned about the marking member A so that the direction of the line connecting the
turning center 7 and thecenter line 10 follows the tangential direction of the curve, the desired marking line may be formed. - When a marking is formed on the surface of the workpiece C, if the distance between the marking member A and the workpiece C changes due to distortion of the workpiece C, this change is detected by the
sensor 8, and the signal thereof is transmitted to a control unit (not shown). Then, a drive signal corresponding to the signal is transmitted from the control unit to theelevation motor 3a, and theelevation motor 3a rotates in accordance with the drive signal to elevate theelevation bracket 2 so that the distance between the marking member and the workpiece C is included in the predetermined range. As a result, the marking member A is elevated so that the distance between the marking member and the workpiece C is maintained within the predetermined range. - Further, when the distance between the grinding-cleaning member B and the workpiece C changes due to distortion of the workpiece C, the grinding-cleaning member may promptly follow the distortion of the workpiece C since the
roller 12 attached to thenozzle 11a rotates while contacting the surface of the workpiece C at all times. - In the above-described configuration, the
roller 12 constituting the secondary elevation member and the lifting and loweringdevice 13 pressing theroller 12 against the surface of the workpiece C are disposed at theturning bracket 5f integrally formed with the turningshaft 5a provided in theelevation bracket 2. Accordingly, the elevation speed of the grinding-cleaning member B using the secondary elevation member is obtained by combining the elevation speed of the lifting and loweringdevice 13 with the elevation speed of the primary elevation member using theelevation motor 3a, and is larger than the elevation speed of the primary elevation member. Then, when there is a difference in the elevation speed between the secondary elevation member and the primary elevation member, the grinding-cleaning member B controlled by the secondary elevation member to be moved upward or downward may be reliably prevented from colliding with the surface of the workpiece C. - Next, a configuration of a marker for grinding and cleaning according to an embodiment not according to the invention will be described with reference to

Further, the markingnozzle 20 is detachably attached to atorch 21 connected to an oxygen gas and fuel gas supply portion forming a flame or a metal powder supply portion (not shown). - In the marker for grinding and cleaning having the above-described configuration, the surface of the workpiece C may be ground and cleaned by the grinding-cleaning member B to expose a surface of a base material. Then, at this time, a marking line formed of a thin line thermally sprayed from melted metal may be formed on the exposed surface by operating the marking
nozzle 20. - Next, a configuration of a marker for grinding and cleaning according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to
Fig. 3 . - In the embodiment, a

sensors 8 is attached to thebracket 8a fixed to thenozzle 11a constituting the grinding-cleaning member B, and each of thesensors 8 is configured to detect a distance from the sensor to the surface of the workpiece C and to generate a signal. - Further, the lifting and lowering
device 25 includes a lifting and loweringmotor 25a driven in response to a signal generated in accordance with the distance between the sensor and the workpiece C detected by thesensor 8, and the grinding-cleaning member B is attached to the lifting and loweringdevice 25. - In the marker for grinding and cleaning having the above-described configuration, any one of the grinding-cleaning member B and the marking member A may detect a distance with respect to the workpiece C without contacting the workpiece.
