Description

この発明は、各種工作機械で加工されたワークとその加工時に発生する切削屑とを、分離するためのワーク分離装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a workpiece separating device for separating a workpiece machined by various machine tools and cutting waste generated during the machining.

微細加工用の旋盤やフライス盤などの各種工作機械で加工される例えば時計部品等のワークは、ミリ単位の大きさであるため、加工後に切削屑と分離して取り出すのが困難であり、それらの混合物として取り出されることが多い。
その混合物からワークを分離して取り出すには、水洗や篩い分け、振動板による分離などの方法があるが、ワークと切削屑とは同じ金属であるから比重が同じであり、切削屑は種々の形状のものが混在しているため、精度よく且つ効率よく分離するのは困難であった。そのため、最終的には目視による選別が必要になっていた。
Since workpieces such as watch parts that are machined by various machine tools such as lathes and milling machines for micromachining are in units of millimeters, it is difficult to separate them from cutting waste after machining. Often removed as a mixture.
There are methods such as washing with water, sieving and separation with a diaphragm to separate and remove the workpiece from the mixture, but since the workpiece and the cutting waste are the same metal, the specific gravity is the same. Because of the presence of shapes, it was difficult to separate accurately and efficiently. Therefore, finally, visual selection has become necessary.

一方、バレル式メッキ法によってメッキされたチップ部品と、そのメッキ時に使用されたメディアとを分離するために、例えば特許文献1に開示されている分離装置が提案されている。   On the other hand, in order to separate a chip component plated by a barrel plating method and a medium used at the time of the plating, for example, a separation device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

その分離装置は、内部に液体を貯留した分離容器の上部から、チップ部品とメディアとの混合物を投入して沈降させ、その沈降途中の混合物に対し交差方向に液流を衝突させ、メディアを分離容器の下方へ沈降させて分離容器の下部で回収するとともに、チップ部品を液流とともにメディアから分離して分離容器の上部に設けた分岐流路を通して回収するように構成されている。   The separation device throws a mixture of chip parts and media from the upper part of the separation container that stores the liquid in the interior, causes the mixture to settle, and causes the liquid flow to collide with the mixture in the middle of the sedimentation to separate the media. It is configured to sink to the lower part of the container and collect it at the lower part of the separation container, and separate the chip components from the medium together with the liquid flow and collect it through a branch channel provided at the upper part of the separation container.

そこで、この特許文献1に開示されているような分離装置を使用して、ワークと切削屑とを分離することが考えられる。
しかしながらこの分離装置は、分離容器内を沈降途中の混合物に対し交差方向に液流を衝突させる際に、その液流となる流動体の流量が分離性能を大きく左右する。特に比重が同じ物を分離するには、流動体の流量が極めて重要になる。
ところが、特許文献1にはその流動体の流量を何に基づいてどのように設定するのかについて、何も開示されていない。そのため、このような分離装置を使用してワークと切削屑との分離を行っても、精度よく且つ効率よく分離することはできなかった。
Then, it is possible to separate | separate a workpiece | work and cutting waste using the separation apparatus which is disclosed by this patent document 1. FIG.
However, in this separation apparatus, when the liquid flow collides with the mixture in the middle of settling in the separation container in the crossing direction, the flow rate of the fluid as the liquid flow greatly affects the separation performance. In particular, in order to separate the same specific gravity, the flow rate of the fluid is extremely important.
However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose anything about how to set the flow rate of the fluid based on what. For this reason, even when the workpiece and the cutting waste are separated using such a separation apparatus, it has not been possible to separate the workpiece accurately and efficiently.

この発明は、このような背景に鑑みてなされたものであり、各種工作機械で加工されたワークとその加工時に発生する切削屑との混合物から、ワークを精度よく且つ効率よく容易に分離できるようにすることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a background, so that a workpiece can be easily and accurately and efficiently separated from a mixture of a workpiece processed by various machine tools and cutting waste generated during the processing. The purpose is to.

On the other hand The other settling rate is lower than the other settling rate, and the other settling rate is lower than the one settling rate, depending on the flow rate of the fluid by supplying the fluid to the vessel. A state in which the state where the speed becomes low is maintained, and each settling speed decreases, a settling speed detecting means for detecting the settling speed of the workpiece and the cutting waste, and the container detected by the settling speed detecting means The settling speed of the workpiece and the settling speed of the cutting waste in a state where the supply of the fluid to the container is not performed, and the fluid in the container when the fluid supply means supplies the fluid to the container A flow rate calculating means for setting a flow rate of the fluid to be supplied to the container so that each difference from the flow velocity of the fluid has opposite signs, and the flow rate adjusting means includes the flow rate calculation Set by means Characterized in that it is adjusted on the basis of that flow.

以上のように構成されたこの発明によるワーク分離装置によれば、容器への流動体の供給が行われない状態でのワーク及び切削屑の各沈降速度を上記速度検出手段により検出することによって、上記流量算出手段により、その各沈降速度と上記流動体を供給した際の容器内の流動体の流れの速度とに基づいて、容器に供給する流動体の流量を簡単に算出することができ、それによって上記流量調節手段による流動体の流量をワークと切削屑との分離精度が最も向上するように調節することが容易にできる。
したがって、ワークと切削屑との混合物から、ワークを精度よく且つ効率よく容易に分離することができる。

以下、この発明を実施するための形態を図面に基づいて具体的に説明する。
まず、図1によってこの発明によるワーク分離装置の一実施例の概略構成を説明する。
このワーク分離装置は筒状の容器1を備えている。その容器1には、液体等の流動的な移動が可能な流動体2が予め収容されている。この実施例における流動体2は所定の粘度のオイルからなる。
Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
First, a schematic configuration of an embodiment of a workpiece separating apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This work separating apparatus includes a cylindrical container 1. The container 1 contains in advance a fluid 2 that can be fluidly moved, such as a liquid. The fluid 2 in this embodiment is made of oil having a predetermined viscosity.

容器1の一端側には、工作機械等によって加工された部品等の部材であるワーク31と、そのワーク31の加工時等に発生する切削屑32との混合物3を、容器1内の流動体2に投入する投入口11が設けられている。
容器1の他端側には、混合物3から分離されるワーク31が収容されるワーク収容部12が設けられている。また、容器1の投入口11側には、容器1に対して傾斜した分岐路13が設けられている。
At one end of the container 1, a mixture 3 of a work 31 that is a member such as a part processed by a machine tool and the like and a cutting waste 32 generated when the work 31 is processed, etc. 2 is provided.
On the other end side of the container 1, a work accommodating portion 12 in which a work 31 separated from the mixture 3 is accommodated is provided. Further, a branch path 13 that is inclined with respect to the container 1 is provided on the inlet 11 side of the container 1.

その分岐路13とワーク収容部12との間には、容器1内に流動体2を導入する流動体導入路14が設けられており、その流動体導入路14には、流動体2を流動体導入路14に供給する流動体供給手段4が接続されている。
その流動体供給手段4は、流動体2が収容されたタンク41と、そのタンク41から流動体2を圧送するポンプ42と、そのポンプ42の出力側と流動体導入路14側との間に介設されるバルブ43と、そのバルブ43の開閉を制御する制御装置44とを備えている。
A fluid introduction path 14 for introducing the fluid 2 into the container 1 is provided between the branch path 13 and the work accommodating portion 12, and the fluid 2 flows through the fluid introduction path 14. Fluid supply means 4 for supplying to the body introduction path 14 is connected.
The fluid supply means 4 includes a tank 41 in which the fluid 2 is accommodated, a pump 42 that pumps the fluid 2 from the tank 41, and an output side of the pump 42 and the fluid introduction path 14 side. An intervening valve 43 and a control device 44 for controlling opening and closing of the valve 43 are provided.

その制御装置44によってバルブ43の開閉を制御することにより、バルブ43の開度に応じた流量で流動体2が流動体導入路14から容器1内に供給される。バルブ43は、容器1に流動体導入路14を介して供給される流動体2の流量を調節する流量調節手段を構成している。
流動体導入路14を介して容器1内に供給される流動体によって、容器1内でワーク収容部12側から投入口11側に向かう流動体の流れFuが形成される。
By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 43 by the control device 44, the fluid 2 is supplied into the container 1 from the fluid introduction path 14 at a flow rate corresponding to the opening degree of the valve 43. The valve 43 constitutes a flow rate adjusting means for adjusting the flow rate of the fluid 2 supplied to the container 1 via the fluid introduction path 14.
Due to the fluid supplied into the container 1 via the fluid introduction path 14, a fluid flow Fu from the work accommodating portion 12 side to the inlet 11 side is formed in the container 1.

このワーク分離装置は、従来の装置と同様に、容器1の投入口11から投入された混合物3が流動体2内を沈降(沈下)する際に、容器1内の流動体2の流れによって、混合物3の沈降を妨げ、混合物3内の比較的重量が大きいワーク31を流動体2の流れに抗して沈降させてワーク収容部12に収容し、比較的軽量な切削屑32を流動体2の流れに乗せて浮上させて、分岐路13から排出させる。
これにより、混合物3からワーク31と切削屑32とを分離する。
As in the conventional apparatus, the workpiece separating apparatus is configured such that when the mixture 3 charged from the inlet 11 of the container 1 settles (sinks) in the fluid 2, the flow of the fluid 2 in the container 1 The mixture 3 is prevented from settling, and the relatively heavy workpiece 31 in the mixture 3 is allowed to settle against the flow of the fluid 2 and accommodated in the workpiece accommodating portion 12. It floats on the flow of, and is discharged from the branch path 13.
Thereby, the work 31 and the cutting waste 32 are separated from the mixture 3.

流動体2の流れの速度(流動体2の移動速度)は、制御装置44によって調節されるバルブ43の開度に応じて流動体導入路14を介して供給される流動体2の流量によって定められる。
このワーク分離装置は制御装置44によって、ワーク31と切削屑32とを高精度に分離することができるようにバルブ43の開度を調節する。
The flow speed of the fluid 2 (moving speed of the fluid 2) is determined by the flow rate of the fluid 2 supplied via the fluid introduction path 14 according to the opening degree of the valve 43 adjusted by the control device 44. It is done.
In this workpiece separating device, the opening degree of the valve 43 is adjusted by the control device 44 so that the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 can be separated with high accuracy.

容器1には、投入口11の近傍位置と流動体導入路14の近傍位置に、ワーク31及び切削屑32の通過を検出する通過検出センサ5,6が配置されている。その通過検出センサ5,6は、制御装置44に接続されている。
その制御装置44は図2に示すように、沈降速度検出手段441と流量設定手段442を備えている。
In the container 1, passage detection sensors 5 and 6 that detect the passage of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 are disposed in the vicinity of the input port 11 and in the vicinity of the fluid introduction path 14. The passage detection sensors 5 and 6 are connected to the control device 44.
As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 44 includes sedimentation speed detection means 441 and flow rate setting means 442.

この実施例では、沈降速度検出手段441は通過検出センサ5,6の検知信号を入力しており、図1に示す通過検出センサ5,6の間の距離Lと、ワーク31及び切削屑32が投入口11側の通過検出センサ5で検出された後、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6で検出されるまでの時間に基づいて、ワーク31又は切削屑32の流動体2内の沈降速度を演算する。なお通過検出センサ5,6は、通過検出センサ5,6が配置されている位置をワーク31や切削屑32が通過することを検出できれば、一般的な光学式通過センサ等どのようなセンサを使用してもよい。   In this embodiment, the sedimentation velocity detection means 441 inputs the detection signals of the passage detection sensors 5 and 6, and the distance L between the passage detection sensors 5 and 6 shown in FIG. Based on the time from detection by the passage detection sensor 5 on the inlet 11 side to detection by the passage detection sensor 6 on the fluid introduction path 14 side, the work 31 or the cutting waste 32 settles in the fluid 2. Calculate the speed. As the passage detection sensors 5 and 6, any sensor such as a general optical passage sensor may be used as long as it can detect that the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 pass through the position where the passage detection sensors 5 and 6 are disposed. May be.

このように、ワーク31及び切削屑32の沈降速度は、流動体内を沈降するワーク31及び切削屑32を検出する複数の通過検出センサ5,6を、上下方向に所定距離Lだけ離間させて配置し、その各通過検出センサ5,6間の距離と、各通過検出センサ5,6間に
よるワーク31又は切削屑32の検出時間の差に基づいて簡単に検出することができる。
制御装置44は、図2に示す沈降速度検出手段441によって、予め流動体導入路14から流動体2が供給されていない状態で、ワーク31と切削屑32の沈降速度を各々別々に検出するように設定されている。
As described above, the settling speed of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 is set such that the plurality of passage detection sensors 5 and 6 that detect the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 settling in the fluid are separated by a predetermined distance L in the vertical direction. And it can detect simply based on the difference of the detection time of the workpiece | work 31 or the cutting waste 32 by the distance between each of the passage detection sensors 5 and 6 and between each of the passage detection sensors 5 and 6.
The controller 44 detects the settling speeds of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 separately by the settling speed detecting means 441 shown in FIG. 2 in a state where the fluid 2 is not supplied from the fluid introduction path 14 in advance. Is set to

そのワーク31と切削屑32の各沈降速度は、ワーク31又は切削屑32のみを投入口11から投入することによって予め別々に検出される。
なお、そのワーク31と切削屑32の沈降速度を各々別々に検出する際に、ワーク31又は切削屑32のどちらを投入したかを設定する必要があるが、沈降速度に基づいてワーク31又は切削屑32のどちらが投入されたのかを、制御装置44が自動的に判別するようにすることもできる。
The settling speeds of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 are separately detected in advance by introducing only the workpiece 31 or the cutting waste 32 from the insertion port 11.
In addition, when detecting the settling speed of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 separately, it is necessary to set which of the workpiece 31 or the cutting waste 32 is input. It is also possible for the control device 44 to automatically determine which of the scraps 32 has been thrown in.

この実施例においては、ワーク31を沈降させ、切削屑32を浮上させて各々分別するため、予め流動体導入路14から流動体2が供給されていない状態では、ワーク31の沈降速度の方が切削屑32の沈降速度より速いので、沈降速度の速い方をワーク31の沈降速度、沈降速度の遅い方を切削屑32の沈降速度と判断することができる。   In this embodiment, since the work 31 is settled and the cutting waste 32 is floated and separated, the work 31 has a settling speed in a state where the fluid 2 is not supplied in advance from the fluid introduction path 14. Since it is faster than the settling speed of the cutting waste 32, it can be determined that the faster settling speed is the settling speed of the work 31 and the slower settling speed is the settling speed of the cutting waste 32.

制御装置44の流量設定手段442は流量算出手段としての機能も有しており、流動体導入路14から流動体2が供給されていない状態でのワーク31と切削屑32の各沈降速度Vw,Vcと、流動体供給手段4が容器1に流動体2を供給した際の容器1内の流動体2の流れの速度Vとに基づいて、流動体2の流量を算出し、その流量に応じてバルブ43の開度を演算する。
流動体2の流れの速度Vは、流動体導入路14から供給される流動体2の流量に対して比例的に増加するため、そのワーク31と切削屑32の沈降速度Vw,Vcは、図4に示すように、流動体導入路14から供給される流動体2の流量Fの増加に伴って小さくなる。
The flow rate setting means 442 of the control device 44 also has a function as a flow rate calculation means, and each settling velocity Vw of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 in a state where the fluid 2 is not supplied from the fluid introduction path 14. and vc, fluid supply means 4 on the basis of the velocity V F of the flow the fluid 2 in the container 1 at the time of supplying the fluid 2 in the container 1, to calculate the flow rate of the fluid 2, the flow rate thereof Accordingly, the opening degree of the valve 43 is calculated.
Speed V F of the fluid 2 flows in order to proportionally increases with the flow rate of the fluid 2 supplied from the fluid inlet channel 14, sedimentation rate Vw of the work 31 and the cutting chips 32, Vc is As shown in FIG. 4, it decreases as the flow rate F of the fluid 2 supplied from the fluid introduction path 14 increases.

そのため、この実施例においては、上記流量設定手段442は、ワーク31の沈降速度Vwから流動体2の流れの速度Vを減算したワーク31の移動速度Vw’(=Vw−V)が正の値(ワーク収容部12に沈降する方向への移動)となり、切削屑32の沈降速度Vcから流動体2の流れの速度Vを減算した切削屑32の移動速度Vc’(=Vc−V)が負の値(投入口11側に浮上する方向への移動)となる流動体の流量F’を算出し、算出された流量F’で流動体導入路14を介して流動体2が供給されるようにバルブ43の開度を前記流量F’に対応して演算する。
さらに、この実施形態における流量設定手段442は、演算したバルブ43の開度に基づいて、バルブ43をその開度になるように開閉作動させる構成になっている。
Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow rate setting means 442, the moving speed Vw '(= Vw-V F) of the workpiece 31 which is obtained by subtracting the velocity V F of the flow fluid 2 from sedimentation velocity Vw of the workpiece 31 is positive value next (moving in the direction to settle the work storing section 12), the moving velocity Vc of the cutting chips 32 obtained by subtracting the velocity V F of the flow fluid 2 from sedimentation velocity Vc of the swarf 32 '(= Vc-V F ) is a negative value (moving in the direction of rising to the input port 11 side), and the flow rate F ′ of the fluid is calculated. The calculated flow rate F ′ causes the fluid 2 to pass through the fluid introduction path 14. The opening degree of the valve 43 is calculated so as to correspond to the flow rate F ′.
Further, the flow rate setting means 442 in this embodiment is configured to open and close the valve 43 based on the calculated opening degree of the valve 43 so as to reach the opening degree.

したがって、流量設定手段442は、容器1への流動体2の供給が行われない状態での前記ワーク31の沈降速度Vw及び切削屑32の沈降速度Vcと、流動体供給手段4が容器1に流動体2を供給した際の容器1内の流動体1の流れの速度Vとのそれぞれの差Vw’とVc’とが、互いに逆の符号を有するように容器1に供給する流動体2の流量F’を算出する。 Therefore, the flow rate setting means 442 includes the settling speed Vw of the workpiece 31 and the settling speed Vc of the cutting waste 32 in a state where the supply of the fluid 2 to the container 1 is not performed, and the fluid supply means 4 to the container 1. each difference Vw between the speed V F of the flow fluid primary fluid inside the second container 1 at the time of supplying 'and Vc' and but the fluid 2 to be supplied to the container 1 so as to have opposite sign to each other The flow rate F ′ is calculated.

このワーク分離装置は以上のように構成されているので、予め流動体導入路14から流動体2が供給されていない状態でのワーク31の沈降速度Vwと切削屑32の沈降速度Vcを各々検出することによって、ワーク31をワーク収容部12に沈降させ、切削屑32を分岐路13から排出させるように、流動体導入路14に供給する流動体2の流量を簡単に算出し、バルブ43の開度を簡単に設定することができる。それによって、混合物3からワーク31と切削屑32とを、簡単且つ高精度に分離することができる。   Since this workpiece separating apparatus is configured as described above, the settling velocity Vw of the workpiece 31 and the settling velocity Vc of the cutting waste 32 in a state where the fluid 2 is not supplied from the fluid introduction path 14 in advance are detected. As a result, the flow rate of the fluid 2 supplied to the fluid introduction passage 14 is simply calculated so that the workpiece 31 is settled in the workpiece accommodating portion 12 and the cutting waste 32 is discharged from the branch passage 13. The opening can be set easily. Thereby, the work 31 and the cutting waste 32 can be easily and accurately separated from the mixture 3.

この実施例において、流量設定手段442は、ワーク31の沈降速度Vwから流動体2の流れの速度を減算したワーク31の移動速度Vw’と、切削屑32の沈降速度Vcから流動体2の流れの速度を減算した切削屑32の移動速度Vc’とが互いに逆の符号を有し、且つ同一の絶対値となるように、流動体2の流量F’を演算すれば、分離の精度が一層向上する。図4はこの場合のワーク31の移動速度Vw’と切削屑32の移動速度Vc’、および流動体2の流量F’を示している。   In this embodiment, the flow rate setting means 442 includes the moving speed Vw ′ of the work 31 obtained by subtracting the flow speed of the fluid 2 from the settling speed Vw of the work 31 and the flow of the fluid 2 from the settling speed Vc of the cutting waste 32. If the flow rate F ′ of the fluid 2 is calculated so that the moving speed Vc ′ of the cutting waste 32 obtained by subtracting the speed of the cutting scraps 32 has the opposite sign and the same absolute value, the accuracy of separation is further increased. improves. FIG. 4 shows the moving speed Vw ′ of the workpiece 31, the moving speed Vc ′ of the cutting waste 32, and the flow rate F ′ of the fluid 2 in this case.

なお、上記のように流動体2の流量F’を演算し、バルブ43の開度を設定する設定モードと、流動体2を流量F’で流動体供給手段4によって流動体導入路14を介して容器1に供給して、ワーク31と切削屑32との分離を行う分離モードを、予め制御装置44側に設定し、そのモードを切り換えて作業を行うように構成することもできる。   In addition, the flow rate F ′ of the fluid 2 is calculated as described above, the setting mode for setting the opening degree of the valve 43, and the fluid 2 through the fluid introduction path 14 by the fluid supply means 4 at the flow rate F ′. A separation mode for separating the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 from the workpiece 31 can be set in advance on the control device 44 side, and the operation can be performed by switching the mode.

また、異なるワーク毎に予めワーク31の速度と切削屑32の沈降速度、および流動体2の流量F’のデータを演算しておき、それらを制御装置44側の記憶手段(メモリ等)に保存しておくこともできる。
その場合、分離したいワークと切削屑が変った場合にも、そのワークと切削屑に応じた流量F’を記憶手段の保存データを読み出して簡単に設定することができ、高精度の分離精度を維持することができ、しかも作業効率が向上する。
In addition, data of the speed of the work 31, the settling speed of the cutting waste 32, and the flow rate F ′ of the fluid 2 are calculated in advance for each different work, and stored in storage means (memory or the like) on the control device 44 side. You can also keep it.
In that case, even if the workpiece to be separated and the cutting waste change, the flow rate F ′ corresponding to the workpiece and the cutting waste can be easily set by reading the stored data in the storage means, and high-precision separation accuracy can be achieved. Can be maintained, and the work efficiency is improved.

また、この実施例においては、分岐路13側にも通過検出センサ7が設けられている。この分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7により、上述したように流動体2の流量をF’に設定した後、ワーク31のみを投入口11から投入して、分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7がワーク31の通過を検出しないことを確認することができる。
その際、分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7がワーク31の通過を検出した場合は、制御装置44は流動体2の流量が多すぎると判断し、流量設定手段442は、通過検出センサ7がワーク31の通過を検出しなくなるように、バルブ43を僅かに閉じて流動体2の流量を減少させるように微調節(F’より小さく)することができる。
In this embodiment, the passage detection sensor 7 is also provided on the branch path 13 side. After the flow rate of the fluid 2 is set to F ′ as described above by the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side, only the work 31 is introduced from the insertion port 11, and the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side. It can be confirmed that the passage of the work 31 is not detected.
At that time, if the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side detects the passage of the work 31, the control device 44 determines that the flow rate of the fluid 2 is too large, and the flow rate setting means 442 Fine adjustment (smaller than F ′) can be made so as to reduce the flow rate of the fluid 2 by slightly closing the valve 43 so that the passage of the work 31 is not detected.

その微調節手段を流量設定手段442が備えることによって、比較的簡単に分離の精度を向上させることができる。
また、この実施例において、上記微調節手段は、上述のように流動体2の流量を設定した後、切削屑32のみを投入口11から投入し、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6が切削屑32を検出した場合には、制御装置44は流動体2の流量が少なすぎると判断し、流量設定手段442は、通過検出センサ6が切削屑32の通過を検出しなくなるように、バルブ43を僅かに開いて流動体2の流量を増加させるように微調節(F’より小さく)することができる。それによって、分離精度をさらに向上させることができる。
By providing the fine adjustment means in the flow rate setting means 442, the separation accuracy can be improved relatively easily.
Further, in this embodiment, the fine adjustment means sets the flow rate of the fluid 2 as described above, and then inserts only the cutting waste 32 from the insertion port 11, and the passage detection sensor 6 on the fluid introduction path 14 side. When the cutting waste 32 is detected, the control device 44 determines that the flow rate of the fluid 2 is too small, and the flow rate setting unit 442 prevents the passage detection sensor 6 from detecting the passage of the cutting waste 32. Fine adjustment (smaller than F ′) can be made to slightly open the valve 43 to increase the flow rate of the fluid 2. Thereby, the separation accuracy can be further improved.

上記微調節手段の作動時には、予めワーク31又は切削屑32のどちらを投入したかを設定する必要があるが、投入口11側の通過検出センサ5で検出した後に、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6及び分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7で各々検出される検出量に基づいて、ワーク31又は切削屑32のどちらが投入されたのかを自動的に判別するように構成することもできる。   At the time of the operation of the fine adjustment means, it is necessary to set in advance which of the workpiece 31 or the cutting waste 32 has been thrown in, but after the detection by the passage detection sensor 5 on the loading port 11 side, Based on the detection amounts respectively detected by the passage detection sensor 6 and the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side, it can also be configured to automatically determine whether the workpiece 31 or the cutting waste 32 has been introduced. .

この実施例においては、上記微調節は、上述したように流動体2の流量が設定された後に行われるため、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6での検出量が、分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7での検出量より多い場合は、ワーク31が投入されたと判断することができる。また、分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7での検出量が、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6での検出量より多い場合は、切削屑32が投入されたと判断することができる。   In this embodiment, since the fine adjustment is performed after the flow rate of the fluid 2 is set as described above, the amount detected by the passage detection sensor 6 on the fluid introduction channel 14 side is equal to the branch channel 13 side. If the amount detected by the passage detection sensor 7 is larger, it can be determined that the workpiece 31 has been loaded. Further, when the detection amount by the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side is larger than the detection amount by the passage detection sensor 6 on the fluid introduction path 14 side, it can be determined that the cutting waste 32 has been introduced.

なお、分岐路13側の通過検出センサ7を設けることなく、上記微調節手段を、流動体2の流量設定後、切削屑32のみを投入口11から投入し、流動体導入路14側の通過検出センサ6が切削屑32を検出しないように、流動体2の流量を微調節するように構成することもできる。   In addition, without providing the passage detection sensor 7 on the branch path 13 side, after the flow rate of the fluid 2 is set, only the cutting waste 32 is introduced from the inlet 11 and the fine adjustment means is passed on the fluid inlet path 14 side. The flow rate of the fluid 2 can be finely adjusted so that the detection sensor 6 does not detect the cutting waste 32.

図3は、この発明によるワーク分離装置の他の実施例の要部のみの概略構成を示す図である。この実施例において図1によって説明した実施例と相違するのは、流動体導入路24だけであるから、その他の説明は省略する。
この実施例のワーク分離装置は、図1に示した実施例における流動体導入路14に代えて、分岐路13と同一の傾斜角度で同心の流動体導入路24を設けている。
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of only a main part of another embodiment of the workpiece separating apparatus according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the only difference from the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1 is the fluid introduction path 24, and the other description is omitted.
The workpiece separating apparatus of this embodiment is provided with a concentric fluid introduction path 24 at the same inclination angle as the branch path 13 instead of the fluid introduction path 14 in the embodiment shown in FIG.

これにより、流動体導入路24を介して容器1に供給される流動体2によって、容器1内の流動体2に、流動体導入路24から分岐路13に向かう流れFbが形成される。
分岐路13及び流動体導入路24を、容器1の軸線に直交する直線Xに対して30度傾斜させる(θ=30°とする)ことによって、ワーク31と切削屑32との分離精度が向上する。
As a result, the fluid 2 supplied to the container 1 via the fluid introduction path 24 forms a flow Fb from the fluid introduction path 24 toward the branch path 13 in the fluid 2 in the container 1.
By separating the branch path 13 and the fluid introduction path 24 by 30 degrees with respect to the straight line X perpendicular to the axis of the container 1 (θ = 30 °), the separation accuracy between the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 is improved. To do.

この場合、流量設定手段442(図2参照)は、流動体導入路14から流動体2が供給されていない状態でのワーク31の沈降速度Vw及び切削屑32の沈降速度Vcに対して、流動体導入路14から分岐路13に向かう流動体2の流れの速度に対してSinθを乗じた値を減算し、流動体導入路14に供給される流動体2の流量Fを演算するように構成することができる。   In this case, the flow rate setting means 442 (see FIG. 2) flows with respect to the settling speed Vw of the workpiece 31 and the settling speed Vc of the cutting waste 32 in a state where the fluid 2 is not supplied from the fluid introduction path 14. The flow rate of the fluid 2 flowing from the body introduction path 14 toward the branch path 13 is subtracted by a value obtained by multiplying the velocity of the fluid 2 by Sinθ, and the flow rate F of the fluid 2 supplied to the fluid introduction path 14 is calculated. can do.

この実施例によっても、前述した実施例と同様に制御装置44によって流動体2の流量を容易に設定し、ワーク31と切削屑32の分離精度を向上させることができる。
なお、上記説明では、ワーク31を沈降させ、切削屑32を浮上させる例について説明したが、ワークの形状やサイズ、質量等の相違により、ワークを浮上させ、切削屑を沈降させることによってワークと切削屑とを分離するように構成してもよい。
Also in this embodiment, the flow rate of the fluid 2 can be easily set by the control device 44 as in the above-described embodiment, and the separation accuracy of the workpiece 31 and the cutting waste 32 can be improved.
In the above description, the example in which the workpiece 31 is settled and the cutting waste 32 is levitated has been described. However, the workpiece is levitated and the cutting waste is settled due to differences in the shape, size, mass, and the like of the workpiece. You may comprise so that cutting waste may be isolate | separated.

また上記流量設定手段442を、流動体導入路14を介して供給される流動体2の流量F’の算出のみ又は前記流量F’の算出及びバルブ43の開度の演算のみを行う構成とし、バルブ43を手動又は他の手段等によって、その算出された流量F’に基づいて開閉作動させるように構成してもよい。この場合、算出された流量F’やバルブ43の開度をディスプレイ等の表示装置に表示し、バルブ43を容易に調節できるように構成することもできる。   The flow rate setting means 442 is configured to perform only the calculation of the flow rate F ′ of the fluid 2 supplied via the fluid introduction path 14 or only the calculation of the flow rate F ′ and the calculation of the opening degree of the valve 43. The valve 43 may be configured to open and close based on the calculated flow rate F ′ by manual or other means. In this case, the calculated flow rate F ′ and the opening degree of the valve 43 can be displayed on a display device such as a display so that the valve 43 can be easily adjusted.

この発明によるワーク分離装置は、各種工作機械で加工された部品等の被加工部材であるワークとその加工時に発生する切削屑とを、分離するための装置に適用することができる。   The workpiece separating apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to an apparatus for separating a workpiece, which is a member to be processed such as parts processed by various machine tools, and cutting waste generated during the processing.
