Description

  The present invention relates to a nozzle that injects air, and more particularly to a nozzle that performs draining and drying of a wet washed object or the like, or removes dust, adhered matter, and the like, and in particular ejects air to be twisted.

  HDD cases and trays for storing them are washed with an aqueous cleaning solution, rinsed with pure water, and then dried. In order to improve the efficiency of the production process, it is necessary to dry in a short time. In order to dry them, air is normally sprayed onto the cleaning object by an injection nozzle.

However, it has been difficult to drain the water remaining in the depressions when drying the unevenly washed object such as a tray after drying. In order to drain the water, the object to be washed must be stood and transported so that the water naturally falls down and flows out, or the air is sprayed for a long time or the temperature of the air is raised. Various ideas have been made.
In the automobile parts industry and the like, machined parts such as machined chips and cutting oil are blown away with an air gun.

  After washing trays, machine parts, etc., in the drying process, water can be drained by blowing away residual moisture with an air knife, nozzle or air gun. It is taken. In addition, chips and cutting oil after machining of machine parts and the like are also removed by blowing off with an air gun.

  However, this requires a lot of manpower and a large amount of compressor air, which is a heavy burden in terms of cost. Even if this is automated using an air knife, nozzle or the like, it is difficult to remove the water in the recessed portion particularly in the draining process, which is an obstacle to automation.

The present invention can positively scrape off water remaining in the recessed portion as well as the surface of the component, drain it easily, and has a great effect in blowing off dust. It also provides a long-life air screw nozzle that is durable.

In order to solve such a problem, the air screw nozzle of the present invention has the following configuration.
A rotating shaft made of a hollow cylinder in a fixed pipe made of a hollow cylinder and a cylindrical rotor formed integrally with the rotating shaft are rotatably configured to form an air passage, and 1 or 2 is formed at the bottom of the rotor. An injection nozzle that is inclined with respect to the bottom of the rotor is provided.
By adopting this configuration, since the blown air hits the object while rotating, the air present in the dent is removed from the dent so as to start rolling out.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that an air knife nozzle and / or an injection nozzle attached with the injection direction facing outward in the radial direction of the rotor of the air screw nozzle is provided at the bottom of the rotor.
By attaching the air knife nozzle, it is possible to increase the reach of the air sprayed from the slit of the air knife. Further, dust or the like can be blown out of the area of the air screw nozzle by an injection nozzle attached outward in the radial direction of the rotor.

  The inclination angle of the inclined injection nozzle is set to 20 ° to 40 °. If the angle is less than 20 °, the reach distance of the jet air will be extended, but the rotational force of the rotor will be small (Fig. 6) and will not rotate smoothly. This is because it becomes extremely small (FIG. 7).

The air screw nozzle according to the present invention has a rotating body that forms an air flow path fixed by a hollow rotating shaft, a hollow cylindrical rotor connected to one end thereof, and an injection nozzle fixed to the bottom surface of the rotor. Since the pipe rotates through a bearing, the durability is high, and since the blown air is blown out so as to be twisted by the rotor, the water in the recessed portion can be easily scraped and removed.

In addition, the air reach distance can be extended by attaching an air knife nozzle. Therefore, since air reaches a deep hole such as a machine part, it has a great effect in removing chips and dust.

Further, dust or the like can be blown out of the air screw nozzle area by attaching the injection nozzle outward in the radial direction of the rotor.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a first embodiment of an air screw nozzle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view of FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the rotor 2 showing the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a bottom view of FIG. 3 showing the second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a view showing the connection of the duct hose 11 to the rotor 2 with the connection cuff 12. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the injection angle of the injection nozzle (A) 3 and the rotational force. FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the injection angle of the injection nozzle (A) 3 and the reach distance of the blown air. FIG. 8 shows an embodiment to which an air screw nozzle according to the present invention is applied, and is a view showing draining of a tray.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of an air screw nozzle 1 of the present invention. The attachment of the two injection nozzles (A) 3 is shown in the bottom view of FIG. According to FIG. 2, the air is ejected from the two injection nozzles (A) 3 and the rotor 2 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The two injection nozzles (A) 3 are mounted so as to be point-symmetric in the same direction and inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the rotor 2 so that air can be uniformly injected on the circumference over the area of It has been.

  Here, the rotor 2 has a hollow cylindrical base and both ends of the base are sealed with disks, an injection nozzle is attached to one disk, and a rotary shaft 4 made of a hollow pipe is attached to the other disk. The integrated structure is assembled by mounting, and air flows into the rotor 2 from the rotating shaft 4 to form an air flow path ejected from the injection nozzle, and the integrated structure is rotated by the propelling force of air injection (FIG. 3). ).

  Further, the rotating body that is an integral component rotates smoothly because the two bearings 7 are supported at intervals. This bearing 7 uses an angular bearing that can receive a thrust load at the same time as a radial load. The bearing 7 can receive a pressure applied to the bottom surface of the rotor, and has a high durability.

    In the rotor 2, a rotating shaft 4 made of a hollow pipe is provided on a fixed pipe 6 via a bearing 7. A duct hose 11 is connected to a blower (not shown) at the end of the fixed pipe 6 on the opposite side of the rotor 2 and air is sent in. Further, a sealing material 8 is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the fixed pipe 6 in order to prevent air leakage.

    Air generated from the blower flows into the hollow cylindrical rotor 2 through the inside of the duct hose 11 and the rotating shaft 4, and forms an air flow path that is ejected to the outside from the ejection nozzle (A). A protective cover 5 is provided around the rotor 2. The cover 5 also has a function of keeping the air ejected from the spray nozzle (A) 3 within a certain limited range at the same time as protecting the periphery.

  In addition, the injection nozzle (A) 3 may be one, or a plurality of three or more may be attached. Further, if the inclination direction of the injection nozzle (A) 3 is a direction that rotates in a certain direction, it may not be a point object, and the inclination angle need not be the same. Since the rotor 2 also plays the role of a flywheel, the rotation is smooth.

    In addition to the cylindrical injection nozzle (A) 3 that applies rotational force simultaneously with air ejection, the hollow rotor 2 that also serves as an air flow path can be equipped with nozzles according to various applications as appropriate. It is.

    FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a second embodiment, in which the rotor 2 is provided with an air knife nozzle 9 and an injection nozzle (B) 10 in addition to the injection nozzle (A) 3. The air knife nozzle 9 can be appropriately provided on the bottom surface of the rotor 2 at any position. The air blown from the slit of the air knife nozzle 9 has a long reach, and when the air knife knife 9 is provided at the center of the rotor 2, draining or removing dust from the center of the object to be cleaned. It has a great effect.

Since the injection nozzle (B) 10 is provided toward the outside of the rotor 2 in the radial direction of the rotor 2, the spray nozzle (B) 10 exerts an effect of actively blowing dust such as chips outside the area of the air screw nozzle 1. .
The constituent material of the air screw nozzle of the present invention may be a metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, or a resin such as vinyl chloride or polypropylene.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 8, the tray 13 after being washed with water is transported and placed under the air screw nozzle 1 that is jetting air. The air ejected from the air screw nozzle 1 is ejected so as to be twisted by the rotation of the rotor. The jet air removes the water adhering to the surface of the tray 13 as well as the water present in the recess 14 of the tray 13 so as to be scraped off.

In the same manner, swarf and cutting oil adhering to the machined part are also blown off by the air screw nozzle 1 and removed. This method is several times more powerful than air gun removal using compressor air.
