【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ブラスト加工装置におけるノズルに関し、アルミナや炭化珪素の粉末、ガラスビーズ、微小鋼球等から成る研磨材を空気等の流体と共に高速で噴射して被加工物を梨地等の模様に加工し、またはガラス、シリコンウェハー等の精密彫刻加工、プラズマディスプレイのリブの彫刻加工、また塗装の彫刻加工、さらには塗装の前処理などの表面処理、表面加工を行うブラスト(吹き付け)加工に使用されるブラスト加工装置に関するものであり、より詳細には、1サイクルの加工工程における研磨材の吹き付けにより被加工物の表面に形成される加工形状(本明細書において「加工パターン」という)を拡大すなわち、被加工面積を拡大すると共に、加工パターン内での研磨材の噴射密度が均一に分布することのできるブラスト加工装置におけるノズルに関する。
【0002】
最近プラズマディスプレイの隔壁形成等にサンドブラストが使用され、大型の基板を高速で均一に加工する必要が出てきた。通常大きな基板を均一に加工するためにはノズルを平面で前後に高速で往復移動し、加工基板をノズルの移動方向と直交する方向、すなわち左右に往復移動するか、右から左又は左から右に1方向にゆっくり動かすことにより均一な加工を行うことが必要となるが、本願発明は、とくに比較的大きな被加工面となる上記プラズマディスプレイなどの大型基板の乾式サンドブラスト加工に用いて好適な、加工パターンを拡大すると共に、加工の均一化を達成することのできるノズルの先端形状に関するものである。
【0003】
【従来技術】
従来、この種のブラスト加工装置のサクション式のブラストガンとしては、例えば図5に示すようなブラストガン10を使用していた。
【0004】
このブラストガン10は、ガン本体11を備え、このガン本体11は、ブラスト加工装置の回収タンクから研磨材ホース31を介して研磨材導入口24に連通して研磨材が吸入される略円筒容器状の研磨材吸入室12が形成されており、この研磨材吸入室12の前端部には円錐状に絞られた円錐内面16が形成され、この円錐内面16に貫通するノズル14が設けられている。
【0005】
そして、前記円錐内面16の内側に、後端を図示せざる圧縮空気供給源に連通されたジェット13の先端が研磨材の吸入室12の後方から挿入されており、このジェット13の先端噴射孔から図示せざる圧縮空気供給源より供給された比較的高圧の圧縮空気が噴射し得るように構成されている。
【0006】
15はホルダで、内周面にテーパ部を備えた円筒形状をなし、ホルダ15の内周のテーパ部でノズル14の外周のテーパ部を外嵌し、ホルダ15の外周に設けたネジ部でガン本体11に螺着することによりノズル14をガン本体11に固定している。
【0007】
以上のように構成されたブラストガン10において、ホース32を介して圧縮空気供給源に連通された前記ジェット13の先端から高圧の空気を噴射すると、研磨材吸入室12内が負圧となるので、この負圧により図示せざる回収タンク内の研磨材が研磨材ホース31を経て研磨材吸入室12へ吸引される。
【0008】
研磨材吸入室12内の研磨材は、前記円錐内面16とジェット13の外周の環状の間隙部分に吸入され、ジェット13より噴射された空気流に乗って、ノズル14から外部へ円錐状に拡散しながら噴射され、被加工物の表面に略円形状の加工パターンが形成される。
【0009】
このような従来のサクション式のブラストガン10においては、ジェット13から噴射される空気流の速度を高めるためにジェット13の噴射孔の内径が小さく絞られており、そのためこのジェット13より噴射された断面積の狭い空気流に乗って噴射される研磨材の均一な加工が得られる有効な噴射範囲もノズル14の噴射孔内径により、決定され、加工パターンも狭いものとなる。
【0010】
そのため、被加工物を所望形状の範囲でブラストしようとすれば、前記ブラストガン10及び/又は被加工物を移動させる等して前記ブラストガンにより形成される加工パターンを連続させて所望形状に加工する必要がある。
【0011】
しかし、前述の加工方法による場合、比較的加工パターンの小さい前述のブラストガンを使用するならば、ブラストガン又は被加工物の移動範囲が広範となり、一回の加工作業に比較的長時間を要するばかりでなく、被加工物に対して均一な加工を施すためにはブラストガンまたは被加工物の移動を一定の速度、一定の間隔で正確に行う必要があるなど、その加工は困難である。そのため、加工パターンが大きく、しかも該加工パターン内での研磨材の噴射密度が均一なブラストガンの開発が要望されている。
【0012】
しかし、サクション式のブラストガンにあっては、加工パターンの拡大をブラストガン10のノズル14の噴射孔の内径(ノズル径)を拡大するなどの簡易な方法によっては成し得ず、さらに、ジェット13の内径を拡大することにより加工パターンを拡大した場合にはジェットからの空気流の噴射速度、噴射圧力が低下し、この噴射速度、噴射圧力を一定に保とうとすれば、圧縮空気供給源として容量の大きい大型のコンプレッサ等を採用する必要があり装置が大型化するばかりでなく高価となる。さらに、ノズルの内径、ジェットの内径等の拡大により加工パターンを拡大した場合には、加工パターン内における研磨材の噴射密度にムラができ、均一な研削を行うことができない。
【0013】
このような従来技術の欠点に鑑み、出願人は、ブラストガンより噴射された研磨材と圧縮空気の混合流体の噴射流の中心に対して、前記混合流体の噴射流を挟み込むように略同位置に向けて二の空気流を噴射すること等により、加工パターンの幅を拡大する方法および装置について既に出願している(特開平8−267360号)。
【0014】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記特開平8−267360号記載の方法及び装置によれば、従来のブラストガンの加工パターンに比較してその加工パターンの幅を大幅に拡大することができ、しかも加工パターン内における研磨材の噴射密度も一様のものとすることができる。
【0015】
しかし、前記方法により形成される加工パターンは円形又は楕円形に限定され、被加工物の材質、加工条件、加工形状等に対応して加工パターンを変更することは難しい。従って、加工パタ−ンの拡大にも自ずから限界があった。
【0016】
なお、ブラスト加工装置の種類としては、前述のサクション式のブラスト加工装置の他に直圧式のブラスト加工装置があり、この直圧式のブラスト加工装置は研磨材タンク内に粉体を封入してタンク内に圧縮空気を送り込み、タンク底部に連結された排出口から排出した粉体を圧縮空気と共にノズルから噴射するという構造から、図13に示すように、サクション式のブラスト加工装置におけるノズルのジェット13及び研磨材吸入室12に相当する部材が存在せず、従って、ノズルの内径を拡大することにより容易に加工パターンを拡大できる。
【0017】
しかし、直圧式のブラスト加工装置は、タンク内の研磨材が無くなれば一旦、ブラスト加工装置自体を停止して研磨材タンク内に研磨材の補給を行う必要があるなど、連続した研磨材の噴射による連続加工に適しないという欠点を有し、また、研磨材タンク内に存在する研磨材量の変化によって噴射される研磨材量にムラが生じ、そのため所定時間連続して研磨材を噴射する場合には経時的に加工精度にばらつきが生ずる等の弊害があり、とくに、プラズマディスプレイのリブないし障壁形成や半導体等の電子機器の部品となるサファイア、硝子、シリコンウェハー、セラミックス等の精密加工、微細加工の分野での利用に適しないという欠点を有する。
【0018】
サクション式サンドブラスト装置と異なり、あらかじめ研磨材と高圧空気が混合されたものをノズルに混合気体として圧送し、ノズルから噴射する上記直圧式に類するサンドブラスト手段として、特開平10−249732号により出願人がすでに提案している、研磨材回収タンク内の研磨材を研磨材供給管を介して、圧縮空気により噴射ノズルから被加工物に噴射するブラスト加工において、少なくともその一部が研磨材回収タンク内の研磨材内で回転する捕集回転盤側面の捕集孔により、研磨材を捕集し、前記捕集孔の回転軌跡に臨む送受管から前記研磨材供給管を介して噴射ノズルへ供給し噴射する構成から成る圧送式サンドブラスト装置は、あらかじめ研磨材と高圧空気が混合されたものをノズルに混合気体として圧送し、ノズルから噴射するのでノズルから噴射された研磨材は拡散しにくいが、ノズルの形状を問わず用いることができる。
【0019】
そこで上記特開平10−249732号の圧送式サンドブラスト装置のノズル又は図示せざる圧縮空気供給源に連通する空気噴射方向前方に、研磨材供給源に連通する研磨材吸入室を備え、前記ノズルの研磨材と高圧空気の混合流体噴射方向前方において圧縮空気供給源に連通する合流室を設けて成るサクション式のブラスト加工装置におけるブラストガン(図5)を図6に示す拡散ノズル51の研磨材拡散室52の上流側の研磨材拡散部52aを介して先端部の、例えば、短辺又は短径に対する長辺又は長径が10倍以上の幅狭で細長形状の断面形状で、この細幅の長方形ないし矩形の断面形状が前記短辺又は短径に対して10倍以上の長さまで一定に成す研磨材拡散室52を画定する研磨材噴射口54を含む研磨材整流部52bの研磨材噴射口54から研磨材と高圧空気の混合流体を前記研磨材整流部52bの前記断面形状に整流して噴射するようにした他の圧送式サンドブラスト装置における拡散ノズルが出願人によりすでに提案されている(特開平10−58324)。
【0020】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述図6に示す従来の矩形の横長の拡散ノズル51(特開平10−58324号)を使用した場合、この断面横長の長方形の矩形に形成された拡散ノズルの研磨材整流部52bの長手方向両端の端から端まで均一に研磨材が分布され噴射される気流に乗って圧送されていれば、前記拡散ノズルの研磨材整流部52bの長手方向両端の端から端まで均一に加工されるはずである。ところが実際には前記拡散ノズル51の研磨材拡散部52a内への研磨材の供給は、ゴムホースやパイプ33等の拡散ノズル51の研磨材整流部52bないし研磨材噴射口54の長手方向寸法より短い、ないし短径の部材を経由して行われる。
【0021】
したがって、拡散した研磨材が拡散ノズル51の噴射口たる研磨材整流部52b出口の研磨材噴射口54の長手方向両端偶角部に衝突し、研磨材噴射口54の長手方向両端偶角部及びその近傍部の噴射量が多くなる傾向にある。
【0022】
前記拡散ノズル51の研磨材整流部52bないし研磨材噴射口54の長手方向における研磨材の噴射量分布を測定した。
【0023】
図7および図8は、横軸に上述図6に示す従来の矩形の横長の拡散ノズル51の研磨材噴射口の長手方向を、縦軸に研磨材の噴射量を示したものであるが、サクション式のブラスト加工装置におけるノズルの前記合流室からの研磨材拡散部52a内圧0.3kg/cm2において測定したときは図8に示すように両端に分布が多く、拡散ノズルの内圧0.6kg/cm2の時に測定したときは、図7に示すように、中央及び両端に分布が偏在する。
【0024】
尚、この場合の拡散ノズルの各部寸法、加工条件等は、後述比較例1と同様である。
【0025】
すなわち、内圧が低い時は研磨材が拡散ノズル51の研磨材拡散部52aに入る時のスピードが遅いため研磨材拡散室52内で研磨材が拡散しやすくなるため図8に示すような研磨材噴射口54の長手方向両端に過剰となる研磨材の分布になり、内圧が高い時は研磨材が拡散ノズル51に入る時のスピードが速いため研磨材拡散室52内で研磨材が拡散しにくいため図7に示すように中心部の研磨材量が過剰となる傾向にある。しかしいずれにしても研磨材噴射口54の長手方向両端の研磨材量が多くなる傾向にある。
【0026】
拡散ノズル51を被加工物の長手方向に直交する方向に往復移動させ、被加工物たる加工基板を固定して加工した時の加工深さを測定した時には内圧0.3kg/cm2の時は図9に示すように図8の分布を略上下対称とした形状に基板が削られ内圧0.6kg/cm2の時は図10に示すように、図8の噴射量の分布を上下対称とした形状に基板が削られる。拡散ノズル51の研磨材整流部52bの長手方向両端偶角部が深く加工されるため、基板を動かして加工したときにはノズルの軌跡による加工ムラが発生する。このムラは実際には加工深さに対して3%以下のムラであるが、一定ピッチのムラとなり、人間の目でムラとして認識できる。加工スピードを遅くした時でもムラのピッチが細かくなるだけで加工軌跡によるムラが目で認識できた。そのためこの拡散ノズル51を使用してプラズマディスプレイの隔壁形成を行ないディスプレイとして発光させて見たときわずかにこの加工ムラがディスプレイ上で認識された。
【0027】
サクション式サンドブラスト装置の断面円形のノズル(図5;符号14)を前後に動かして加工基板を固定して加工したときはノズルから噴射した研磨材が拡散するため図11に示すほぼ切欠き円弧形状となる。
【0028】
例えばφ9 mmのノズルチップから研磨材を噴射してこの断面円形ノズルを往復移動させた時、加工基板の搬送距離が5 mm以内になるように設定すると完全に均一な加工ができて、加工ムラは認識されなかった。ただし、加工時間は、加工基板の動きに応じて極めて遅くなる。加工基板の搬送距離が20mmのときは、バラツキが多く加工ムラが生じてしまう。
【0029】
サクション式サンドブラスト装置において図5に示すノズルを使用しても高速で加工基板を送ると加工ムラは生じてしまう。
【0030】
特開平10−249732号に示す研磨材供給・噴射方法による図13に示す圧送式の前記断面円形ノズルを使用すると研磨材がノズルチップから噴射されたあと拡散しにくいため図12に示す断面V字状に近いU字状の加工形状となる。この場合に前記のサクション式のノズルのように9 mmのノズルチップを使用してノズルが往復した時、加工基板が5mm以内になるように往復移動を設定しても加工ムラがおき均一な加工ができない。
【0031】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、本発明の目的は研磨材の噴射量が安定しており、かつ連続して作動可能なブラスト加工装置において、加工パターンの幅を拡大すると共に、該拡大された加工パターン内での研磨材の噴射密度が均一で、高精度のブラスト加工を行うことができるブラスト装置のノズルを提供することを目的としスリット形状のノズルにおいて横長に幅広く均一に研磨材を分布させ、高速で被加工物を搬送しても均一にムラ無く加工できるようにするブラスト装置におけるノズルを提供するものである。
【0032】
本発明は、上記目的を達成するため、圧縮空気供給源から供給される空気流と研磨材供給源から供給された研磨材を混合流体として噴射孔より噴射するブラストガンを備え、前記ブラストガンの噴射孔に研磨材拡散室を連通し、前記ブラストガンより噴射された混合流体の噴射流を前記研磨材拡散室の断面形状に整流して噴射するブラスト加工装置において、
前記研磨材拡散室は、研磨材拡散室を画定し、且つ前方端に研磨材を噴射する研磨材噴射口を備え、
前記研磨材拡散室は、混合流体噴射方向に向けて幅方向断面が徐々に狭くなる研磨材拡散部と、この研磨材拡散部の前方に形成される研磨材整流部とで成り、
少なくとも前記研磨材整流部は、短辺又は短径に対する長辺又は長径が10倍以上の幅狭で細長形状の断面形状で、この断面形状が前記短辺又は短径に対して10倍以上の長さまで一定に成す研磨材噴射口を含む連続する左右対称の断面形状をなし、
前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部は、長手方向中央における中央部(長手方向1/2の中心を含む)と、長手方向両端において前記中央部に対し前記短辺又は短径がさらに短辺又は短径となる鋭角を含む端縁を形成すると共に、前記中央部の距離(b)を前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部の長手方向の距離(a)に対して1/2以下(b≦a/2)に形成し、残部を前記端縁としたことを特徴とする。
【0033】
さらに、前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部は、長辺又は長径の少なくとも一側縁を前記中央部(長手方向1/2の中心を含む)から前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部の長辺又は長径の他側縁の長手方向両端に向かって傾斜し、鋭角に形成することができる。
【0034】
前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部は、上下対称の断面形状をなし、長辺又は長径の両側縁を前記中央部から前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部の長辺又は長径の長手方向両端に向かって相互に対向して傾斜し、鋭角に形成することができる。
【0036】
また、前記研磨材噴射口を含む研磨材整流部の長辺又は長径の長手方向両端において多角形、鋭角又は円弧に形成することができる。
【0037】
【発明の実施の形態】
上述した従来技術と同様の部分は、説明を省略する。
【0038】
図1に示すように、研磨材と高圧空気が混合された状態で研磨材と圧縮空気の混合流体が研磨材ホース33から上述断面形状の拡散ノズル51に圧送される。拡散ノズル51に圧送された研磨材はノズル内の空間の研磨材拡散室52を成す研磨材拡散部52aで拡散される。拡散した研磨材は図1における実施形態では、略断面台形状の研磨材整流部52bに入り高圧空気にて加速されて噴射される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a nozzle in a blast processing apparatus, and processes a workpiece into a textured pattern by spraying an abrasive material made of alumina or silicon carbide powder, glass beads, fine steel balls, etc. at a high speed together with a fluid such as air. It is also used for precision engraving of glass and silicon wafers, engraving of plasma display ribs, engraving of paint, and surface treatment such as pre-treatment of paint, and blasting that performs surface treatment. More specifically, the processing shape (referred to as “processing pattern” in this specification) formed on the surface of the workpiece by spraying the abrasive in one cycle of the processing process is enlarged, that is, A blasting machine that expands the work area and can evenly distribute the spray density of the abrasive in the machining pattern. On the nozzle in.
[0002]
Recently, sandblasting has been used to form partition walls for plasma displays, and it has become necessary to process large substrates uniformly at high speed. Normally, to process a large substrate uniformly, the nozzle is reciprocated back and forth at a high speed on a flat surface, and the processed substrate is reciprocated in the direction orthogonal to the nozzle movement direction, that is, left and right, or from right to left or from left to right. It is necessary to perform uniform processing by slowly moving in one direction, but the present invention is particularly suitable for dry sandblasting of large substrates such as the above-mentioned plasma display that has a relatively large processing surface. The present invention relates to a tip shape of a nozzle capable of enlarging a processing pattern and achieving uniform processing.
[0003]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, a blast gun 10 as shown in FIG. 5 has been used as a suction type blast gun for this type of blasting apparatus.
[0004]
The blast gun 10 includes a gun body 11, which is a substantially cylindrical container through which abrasives are sucked from a recovery tank of a blast processing apparatus through an abrasive hose 31 to an abrasive inlet 24. A conical inner surface 16 is formed in a conical shape at the front end of the abrasive suction chamber 12, and a nozzle 14 penetrating the conical inner surface 16 is provided. Yes.
[0005]
The tip of a jet 13 communicating with a compressed air supply source (not shown) is inserted into the inner surface of the conical inner surface 16 from the rear of the suction chamber 12 for abrasive material. The compressed air supplied from a compressed air supply source (not shown) can be injected.
[0006]
Reference numeral 15 denotes a holder, which has a cylindrical shape with a tapered portion on the inner peripheral surface, and is a threaded portion provided on the outer periphery of the holder 15 by fitting the outer peripheral tapered portion of the nozzle 14 on the inner peripheral tapered portion of the holder 15. The nozzle 14 is fixed to the gun body 11 by being screwed to the gun body 11.
[0007]
In the blast gun 10 configured as described above, when high-pressure air is injected from the tip of the jet 13 communicated with the compressed air supply source via the hose 32, the inside of the abrasive suction chamber 12 becomes negative pressure. The negative pressure causes the abrasive in the collection tank (not shown) to be sucked into the abrasive suction chamber 12 via the abrasive hose 31.
[0008]
The abrasive in the abrasive suction chamber 12 is sucked into an annular gap between the inner surface 16 of the cone and the outer periphery of the jet 13, and rides on the air flow ejected from the jet 13 and diffuses outward from the nozzle 14 in a conical shape. While being sprayed, a substantially circular processing pattern is formed on the surface of the workpiece.
[0009]
In such a conventional suction type blast gun 10, the inner diameter of the injection hole of the jet 13 is reduced to increase the speed of the air flow injected from the jet 13. An effective spraying range in which uniform processing of the abrasive material sprayed on the air flow having a narrow cross-sectional area is determined by the inner diameter of the nozzle 14 and the processing pattern becomes narrow.
[0010]
Therefore, if the workpiece is to be blasted within the range of the desired shape, the blast gun 10 and / or the workpiece is moved and the machining pattern formed by the blast gun is continuously processed into the desired shape. There is a need to.
[0011]
However, in the case of the above-described processing method, if the above-described blast gun having a relatively small processing pattern is used, the range of movement of the blast gun or the workpiece becomes wide, and a single processing operation requires a relatively long time. In addition, in order to perform uniform processing on the workpiece, the blast gun or the workpiece needs to be accurately moved at a constant speed and at a constant interval, which is difficult. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a blast gun having a large processing pattern and a uniform spray density of the abrasive within the processing pattern.
[0012]
However, in the suction type blast gun, the processing pattern cannot be enlarged by a simple method such as increasing the inner diameter (nozzle diameter) of the injection hole of the nozzle 14 of the blast gun 10. When the machining pattern is enlarged by enlarging the inner diameter of 13, the jet velocity and jet pressure of the air flow from the jet decrease, and if this jet velocity and jet pressure are kept constant, the compressed air supply source It is necessary to use a large-sized compressor or the like having a large capacity, which not only increases the size of the apparatus but also increases the cost. Furthermore, when the machining pattern is enlarged by enlarging the inner diameter of the nozzle, the inner diameter of the jet, etc., the spray density of the abrasive in the machining pattern can be uneven, and uniform grinding cannot be performed.
[0013]
In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the applicant has substantially the same position so as to sandwich the jet of the mixed fluid with respect to the center of the jet of the mixed fluid of the abrasive and the compressed air injected from the blast gun. An application has already been filed for a method and apparatus for expanding the width of a machining pattern by, for example, injecting two air streams toward the surface (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-267360).
[0014]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the method and apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-267360, the width of a machining pattern can be greatly increased as compared with the machining pattern of a conventional blast gun. The density can also be uniform.
[0015]
However, the processing pattern formed by the above method is limited to a circle or an ellipse, and it is difficult to change the processing pattern according to the material of the workpiece, processing conditions, processing shape, and the like. Therefore, there is a limit to the expansion of the processing pattern.
[0016]
As a type of blasting device, there is a direct pressure type blasting device in addition to the suction type blasting device described above. This direct pressure type blasting device is a tank in which powder is enclosed in an abrasive tank. As shown in FIG. 13, the jet 13 of the nozzle in the suction-type blasting apparatus has a structure in which the compressed air is fed into the inside and the powder discharged from the discharge port connected to the bottom of the tank is sprayed from the nozzle together with the compressed air. In addition, there is no member corresponding to the abrasive suction chamber 12, and therefore the machining pattern can be easily enlarged by enlarging the inner diameter of the nozzle.
[0017]
However, the direct pressure type blasting machine needs to stop the blasting machine itself and supply the abrasive material into the abrasive material tank once the abrasive material in the tank runs out. When the abrasive is sprayed continuously for a predetermined time due to the disadvantage that it is not suitable for continuous processing due to, and the amount of abrasive that is sprayed varies due to the change in the amount of abrasive present in the abrasive tank Has adverse effects such as variations in processing accuracy over time, especially precision processing and fine processing of sapphire, glass, silicon wafers, ceramics, etc. that are used in the formation of ribs or barriers in plasma displays and electronic devices such as semiconductors. It has the disadvantage that it is not suitable for use in the field of processing.
[0018]
Unlike the suction type sand blasting apparatus, the applicant described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-249732 as a sandblasting means similar to the above-mentioned direct pressure type, in which an abrasive and high-pressure air mixed in advance are fed into a nozzle as a mixed gas and injected from the nozzle. In the previously proposed blasting process in which the abrasive in the abrasive recovery tank is sprayed from the injection nozzle to the workpiece by compressed air through the abrasive supply pipe, at least a part of the abrasive is in the abrasive recovery tank. Abrasive material is collected by a collection hole on the side surface of the collection rotating disk that rotates in the abrasive material, and is supplied to the injection nozzle through the abrasive material supply tube from the transmission / reception tube facing the rotation trajectory of the collection hole, and then injected. A pressure-feeding sandblasting device consisting of a structure that sends a mixture of abrasive and high-pressure air in advance to the nozzle as a mixed gas, Abrasive injected from the nozzle since the injection is hard to diffuse, but can be used regardless of the shape of the nozzle.
[0019]
Accordingly, a polishing material suction chamber communicating with the abrasive material supply source is provided in front of the nozzle of the pressure-feeding sandblasting device of JP-A-10-249732 or an air injection direction communicating with a compressed air supply source (not shown), and polishing the nozzle. The blast gun (FIG. 5) in the blast gun (FIG. 5) in the suction type blast processing apparatus provided with a confluence chamber communicating with the compressed air supply source in front of the mixed fluid injection direction of the material and high pressure air is shown in FIG. For example, the narrow side or the long side or the long side with respect to the short side or the short diameter is 10 times or more narrow and elongated in cross section through the abrasive material diffusion part 52a on the upstream side of the 52. Abrasive material of the abrasive rectification unit 52b including an abrasive material injection port 54 that defines an abrasive material diffusion chamber 52 having a rectangular cross-sectional shape constant up to a length of 10 times or more the short side or the short diameter. The applicant has already proposed a diffusion nozzle in another pressure-feed sandblasting device in which a mixed fluid of abrasive and high-pressure air is rectified into the cross-sectional shape of the abrasive rectifying unit 52b and injected from the injection port 54. (JP-A-10-58324).
[0020]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the conventional rectangular horizontally long diffusion nozzle 51 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-58324) shown in FIG. 6 is used, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive rectifying portion 52b of the diffusion nozzle formed in the rectangular rectangle having a horizontally long cross section are used. If the abrasive is evenly distributed from one end to the other and is pumped by the jetted air stream, it should be uniformly processed from end to end at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive rectifying portion 52b of the diffusion nozzle. is there. However, in reality, the supply of the abrasive material into the abrasive material diffusion portion 52a of the diffusion nozzle 51 is shorter than the longitudinal dimension of the abrasive material rectifying portion 52b or the abrasive material injection port 54 of the diffusion nozzle 51 such as a rubber hose or pipe 33. Or through a short-diameter member.
[0021]
Therefore, the diffused abrasive material collides with the even-angled both ends in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive material injection port 54 at the outlet of the abrasive material rectifying unit 52b, which is the injection port of the diffusion nozzle 51, There is a tendency that the injection amount in the vicinity thereof increases.
[0022]
The abrasive injection amount distribution in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive rectifying unit 52b or the abrasive injection port 54 of the diffusion nozzle 51 was measured.
[0023]
7 and 8, the horizontal axis indicates the longitudinal direction of the abrasive material injection port of the conventional rectangular horizontally long diffusion nozzle 51 shown in FIG. 6, and the vertical axis indicates the injection amount of the abrasive material. When measured at an inner pressure 0.3 kg / cm 2 of the abrasive diffusion part 52a from the merging chamber of the nozzle in the suction type blasting apparatus, the distribution is large at both ends as shown in FIG. 8, and the inner pressure of the diffusion nozzle is 0.6 kg / cm. When measured at 2 , the distribution is unevenly distributed at the center and both ends as shown in FIG.
[0024]
In this case, the dimensions and processing conditions of each part of the diffusion nozzle are the same as those in Comparative Example 1 described later.
[0025]
That is, when the internal pressure is low, the speed at which the abrasive enters the abrasive diffusing portion 52a of the diffusion nozzle 51 is slow, so that the abrasive easily diffuses in the abrasive diffusing chamber 52. Therefore, the abrasive as shown in FIG. Excessive abrasive material is distributed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the injection port 54, and when the internal pressure is high, the speed at which the abrasive material enters the diffusion nozzle 51 is fast, so that the abrasive material is difficult to diffuse in the abrasive material diffusion chamber 52. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the amount of abrasive in the center tends to be excessive. However, in any case, the amount of abrasive at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the abrasive jet 54 tends to increase.
[0026]
When the processing depth is measured when the diffusion nozzle 51 is reciprocated in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the workpiece and the processed substrate as the workpiece is fixed, the figure is shown when the internal pressure is 0.3 kg / cm 2 . As shown in FIG. 9, when the substrate is cut into a shape that is substantially vertically symmetric as shown in FIG. 8 and the internal pressure is 0.6 kg / cm 2 , as shown in FIG. 10, the distribution of the injection amount in FIG. The substrate is shaved. Since both ends of the longitudinal direction of the abrasive rectifying portion 52b of the diffusion nozzle 51 are deeply processed, processing irregularities due to the locus of the nozzle occur when the substrate is moved for processing. This unevenness is actually an unevenness of 3% or less with respect to the processing depth, but becomes an unevenness of a constant pitch and can be recognized as unevenness by human eyes. Even when the machining speed was slowed down, the unevenness due to the machining trajectory could be recognized with the eyes only by making the uneven pitch fine. For this reason, when this diffusion nozzle 51 was used to form a partition of a plasma display and light was emitted as a display, the processing unevenness was slightly recognized on the display.
[0027]
When the processing substrate is fixed and processed by moving the nozzle (FIG. 5; reference numeral 14) having a circular cross section of the suction type sandblasting apparatus back and forth, the abrasive material sprayed from the nozzle diffuses, so that the substantially notched arc shape shown in FIG. It becomes.
[0028]
For example, when abrasive material is sprayed from a φ9 mm nozzle tip and this cross-sectional circular nozzle is reciprocated, setting the conveyance distance of the processed substrate to be within 5 mm allows complete uniform processing, resulting in uneven processing. Was not recognized. However, the processing time becomes extremely slow according to the movement of the processed substrate. When the transport distance of the processed substrate is 20 mm, there are many variations and processing unevenness occurs.
[0029]
Even if the nozzle shown in FIG. 5 is used in the suction type sandblasting apparatus, if the processed substrate is fed at a high speed, processing unevenness will occur.
[0030]
When the above-mentioned circular cross-section nozzle of the pumping type shown in FIG. 13 by the abrasive supply / injection method shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-249732 is used, the abrasive is difficult to diffuse after being injected from the nozzle tip, so that the V-shaped cross section shown in FIG. It becomes a U-shaped processing shape close to the shape. In this case, when the nozzle reciprocates using a 9 mm nozzle tip as in the suction type nozzle described above, even if the reciprocating movement is set so that the processing substrate is within 5 mm, uneven processing occurs and uniform processing is performed. I can't.
[0031]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to increase the width of the processing pattern in the blast processing apparatus in which the injection amount of the abrasive is stable and can be operated continuously, and the abrasive in the expanded processing pattern. The purpose is to provide a blasting device nozzle that has a uniform spray density and can perform high-precision blasting. In the slit-shaped nozzle, the abrasive material is distributed horizontally and widely, and the workpiece can be distributed at high speed. The present invention provides a nozzle in a blasting apparatus that can be uniformly processed even when conveyed.
[0032]

It is formed below (b ≦ a / 2), and the remainder is the edge .
[0033]
Further, the abrasive rectifying section containing the abrasive jet port, abrasive rectification from the central portion of the long or major axis of at least one side edge (including the center of the longitudinal 1/2) containing the abrasive jet port The long side of the part or the other side edge of the long diameter is inclined toward both ends in the longitudinal direction, and can be formed at an acute angle.
[0034]
