た。(1) The abrasive 26 having a fine powder property adheres to the inner wall surface of the cabinet 21 or the pipe 33. If the amount of the attached abrasive increases, it suddenly collapses downward at some time due to vibration of the main body, and this phenomenon is caused by a cyclone. Abrasive material 23
The amount of the abrasive 26 falling from the cyclone 23 into the adjuster main body 41 is greatly changed in order to greatly change the supply amount of the abrasive. Therefore, since the height H of the abrasive layer in the adjuster main body 41 greatly varies, the abrasive 26 sucked from the abrasive 26 into the suction pipe 43 (FIG. 6) or the suction pipe 43a (FIG. 7), that is, Injection nozzle 2

Since the amount of the abrasive 26 in the cyclone 23 suddenly increases and the amount of the abrasive 26 in the adjuster main body 41 increases, the abrasive in the adjuster main body 41 for the same reason as in the above item (1). There is a problem that the height H of the layer increases and blasting conditions become unstable.

る。Incidentally, the abrasive inlet 4 in the abrasive adjuster mounted at the lower end of the outlet of the cyclone 23 described above.
Assuming that the height from the position 6 to the upper surface Z of the abrasive layer in the adjuster main body 41 is H, the amount of the abrasive 26 sucked into the suction pipe 43 from the abrasive inlet 46, that is, the suction pipe 43 Since the amount of the abrasive 26 discharged from the mixed fluid discharge port 51 to the injection nozzle 22 is proportional to the square root of H, the height H of the abrasive layer in the adjuster main body 41 is a factor in setting the blasting conditions.

る。The abrasive 26 has a fine powder property. In the present specification, the fine powder property means that the angle of repose θ of the abrasive 26 accumulated on the bottom of the abrasive tank 28 is not constant. Refers to the property of indicating a fine powder state. In order to explain the fine powder property in more detail, the abrasive 26 not exhibiting the fine powder property and a normal abrasive controller will be described below.

２６が落下しなくなることがある。However, when the ordinary abrasive controller 60 is used, the abrasives 26 exhibiting the fine powder property are attracted to each other due to the mutual adhesive force peculiar to the fine powders or adhere to the wall surface of the abrasive tank 28. The angle of repose θ is not constant, and the abrasive 26 in the abrasive tank 28 is discharged from the discharge port 63 as shown in FIG.
In some cases, a hole may be formed directly above the discharge port 63, or a cavity 64 may be formed above the discharge port 63 as shown in FIG.

３、研磨材粒径が約＃２４０以下の場合。It is considered that the factor of the abrasive 26 exhibiting the fine powder property is related to the specific gravity and the particle diameter of the abrasive 26 and the pressure in the tank. That is, whether or not the abrasive 26 exhibits the fine powder property depends on the abrasive material, the abrasive particle diameter, and the pressure in the abrasive tank 28. Hereinafter, an example of the abrasive 26 having the fine powder property when the pressure in the tank is normal pressure will be described.

For example, when the pressure in the abrasive tank is 5 kg / cm 2 , the abrasive particle size is # 1 in the alundum type abrasive material.
Although 50 shows the fine powder property, the abrasive material of steel beads has an abrasive particle size of # 300 and does not show the fine powder property.

ことはない。(4) The abrasive 26 in the abrasive tank 28 continues to fall into the adjuster main body 41 via the discharge pipe 11. Further, the air in the air layer that has stayed in the upper part of the regulator main body 41 is sucked into the abrasive tank 28 through the communication pipe 15, so that the inside of the air layer has a negative pressure, and the upper surface of the flowing abrasive layer is The height H of Z rises from the position (H) indicated by the two-dot chain line in the adjuster main body 41 in the figure. When the upper surface Z of the abrasive layer in the fluidized state reaches the position of the apex of the lower end of the discharge port 12 of the discharge pipe 11 and the end of the communication port 16 of the communication pipe 15, that is, the set height Hs, the discharge port 12 and the communication pipe 15 are closed by the flowing abrasive layer, and the air in the upper air layer in the adjuster main body 41 has no escape area and becomes a positive pressure due to the stirring air blown up from the air storage chamber 48. This is similar to the state where an air reservoir is formed above the regulator main body 41, that is, above the lower edge of the discharge pipe port 12. Further, the inside of the discharge pipe 11 is closed by the upper surface Z of the flowing abrasive layer, and the air in the air pool above the adjuster main body 41 flows into the abrasive tank 28 through the discharge pipe 11. There is no.

When the fuel is injected, the pressure in the pipe 34 and the suction pipe 43 communicating with the injection nozzle 22 becomes negative, and the air above the abrasive material tank 28
Then, the air is sucked into the suction pipe 43 from the suction port 45 of the auxiliary pipe 44, passes through the position of the abrasive suction port 46, and flows to the mixed fluid discharge port 51.

6 is formed as small as φ3, so that a large amount of the abrasive 26 is not rapidly sucked into the suction pipe 43, but rather the abrasive 26 is in a flowing state.
In other words, it has the same properties as liquid, and as shown in the experimental example in Table 2, the height H from the mixed fluid discharge port 51 to the upper surface Z of the abrasive layer is equal to the abrasive 26 in the adjuster main body 41. As a result, a certain amount of the abrasive 26 proportional to the square root of H flows into the suction pipe 43 from the abrasive inlet 46.

噴射量は一定に維持され安定する。(1) The upper layer of air in the cyclone or the abrasive tank is communicated with the inside of the adjuster body through the communication pipe, and the communication port at the lower end of the communication pipe is connected to the desired abrasive material in the adjuster body. A discharge pipe is connected to a discharge port of the cyclone or abrasive tank, and a lower end edge of the discharge port is extended downward from an opening of a regulator main body. The lower end edge of the communication pipe is provided at the same height as or below the communication port of the communication pipe, so that the upper air layer above the vertex of the edge of the communication port of the communication pipe is in the same state as the air reservoir. Therefore, the upper surface Z of the flowing abrasive layer in the adjuster main body does not rise above the position of the vertex of the edge of the communication port, and on the other hand, extra polishing drops from the cyclone or the abrasive tank to the adjuster main body. The material flows into the abrasive tank on the updraft in the communication pipe. The height from the mixed fluid discharge port of the suction pipe to the upper surface Z of the flowing abrasive layer in the regulator body is always maintained at the set height of the position of the vertex of the edge of the communication port of the communication pipe, The amount of the abrasive sucked into the suction pipe, that is, the abrasive injection amount injected from the injection nozzle is kept constant and stable.

研磨材噴射量は一定に維持され安定する。(3) Since the suction port of the suction pipe communicates with the upper part of the cyclone or the abrasive tank through the suction pipe, the abrasive that falls from the discharge port of the suction pipe receives abrasive material from the suction port. Without being inhaled,
The amount of abrasive material sucked into the suction pipe is stable,
The abrasive injection amount is kept constant and stable.
