Abstract
Apparatus for sensing the condition of a slurry transport line in a wet blasting apparatus. Slurry transportation lines feed the blasting guns of a wet blasting machine. The blasting guns are carried by a gun supporting member by means of interposed resilient members for isolating each gun from the vibration of adjacent guns. A vibration sensor fixed on the nozzle of each gun provides an electric output signal to a measuring device related to the amount of vibration of the gun on which said sensor is mounted.
Claims5
Sensing apparatus for detecting the condition of a slurry transport line of a wet blasting machine, comprising:
- blasting guns connected to the slurry transportation line and each having a nozzle for projecting slurry supplied thereto through said slurry transportation line;
- a gun supporting member for supporting said blasting guns in a position of use;
- vibration isolating, resilient means supporting each said gun on said gun supporting member while isolating each gun from vibration of the other gun or guns;
- a vibration sensor having an electric output changeable with vibration applied to said vibration sensor, said vibration sensor being fixed on one of said guns for monitoring the vibration thereof and thereby the condition of the slurry transport line to said gun;
- an electric measuring device driven by said vibration sensor for indicating a characteristic of the vibration of said gun and thereby indicating the condition of the slurry transportation line feeding said gun.
