Abstract

An excess sprayed coating removal device for removing excess sprayed coatings adhering to the inner surface of a crank chamber of a multi-cylinder engine includes: a rotatable nozzle inserted in a first small chamber, movable in a direction parallel to the axial direction of a cylinder bore communicating with the first small chamber, and jets high-pressure water toward the leading end side thereof; and at least a single of shields that are each inserted into a second small chamber adjacent to the first small chamber to face into a communication hole, the shields protecting from the high-pressure water a sprayed coating sprayed on the inner surface of the cylinder bore communicating with the second small chamber. The shields have a block portion in a region facing into the communication hole, the block portion configured to shut the high-pressure water jetted from the nozzle and passes through the communication hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An excess sprayed coating removal device for removing excess sprayed coatings adhering to an inner surface of a crank chamber of a multi-cylinder engine, the excess sprayed coating removal device comprising:
a rotatable nozzle configured to be inserted into the crank chamber of the multi-cylinder engine, the nozzle being movable in a direction parallel to an axial direction of a cylinder bore of the multi-cylinder engine and configured to jet high-pressure water from a leading end side of the nozzle; and
at least one shield configured to protect the cylinder bore from the high-pressure water while the nozzle is inserted into the crank chamber, the at least one shield having a block portion intersecting a central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle, the block portion being configured to block the high-pressure water that is jetted from the nozzle and which passes through a communication hole of the multi-cylinder engine.

2. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a spindle casing configured to rotatably support the nozzle,
wherein the at least one shield is fixed to the spindle casing and is configured to move in an axial direction of the nozzle and move integrally with the nozzle.

3. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one shield has a shield plate disposed to be spaced apart from the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the nozzle, the shield plate being formed with the block portion disposed at a leading end side of the shield plate, and
the shield plate has a bent leading end portion bent in a direction facing the nozzle, the bent leading end portion being disposed closer to a side of the leading end side of the nozzle than a side of the block portion of the shield plate.

4. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 3 , wherein the nozzle is inclined such that the central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle is inclined toward the leading end side of the shield plate at an angle having a range of 10° to 25° with respect to a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the nozzle.

5. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the at least one shield has a shield plate disposed to be spaced apart from the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle, the shield plate being formed with the block portion disposed at a leading end side of the shield plate; and
the shield plate has a bent leading end portion bent in a direction facing the nozzle, the bent leading end portion being disposed closer to the leading end side of the nozzle than the block portion.

6. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 2 , wherein the nozzle is inclined such that the central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle is inclined toward the leading end side at an angle having a range of 10° to 25° with respect to a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle.

7. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 3 , wherein the nozzle is inclined such that the central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle is inclined toward the leading end side at an angle having a range of 10° to 25° with respect to a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle.

8. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 5 , wherein the nozzle is inclined such that the central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle is inclined toward the leading end side at an angle having a range of 10° to 25° with respect to the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle.

9. An excess sprayed coating removal device for removing excess sprayed coatings adhering to an inner surface of a crank chamber of a multi-cylinder engine, the excess sprayed coating removal device comprising:
a rotatable nozzle configured to be inserted into a first cylinder bore of the multi-cylinder engine, the nozzle being movable in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the first cylinder bore and configured to jet high-pressure water from a leading end side of the nozzle;
at least one first shield configured to protect the first cylinder bore from the high-pressure water sprayed from the nozzle; and
a second shield configured to be inserted into a chamber of a second cylinder bore different from the first cylinder bore through which the nozzle is inserted, and protect the second cylinder bore from the high-pressure water sprayed on an inner surface of the first cylinder bore, wherein:
the at least one first shield has a first block portion intersecting a central axis of the high-pressure water jetted from the leading end side of the nozzle, the first block portion being configured to block the high-pressure water jetted from the nozzle and which passes through a communication hole of the multi-cylinder engine; and
the second shield has a second block portion configured to block the high-pressure water jetted from the nozzle.

10. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a spindle casing configured to rotatably support the nozzle,
wherein the at least one first shield and the second shield are fixed to the spindle casing and configured to move in an axial direction of the nozzle and integrally with the nozzle.

11. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 9 , wherein:
the at least one first shield has a first shield plate disposed to be spaced apart from the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the nozzle, the first shield plate being formed with the first block portion disposed at a leading end side of the first shield plate;
the second shield has a second shield plate disposed to be spaced apart from the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle and spaced apart from the at least one first shield in a rotational direction of the nozzle, the second shield plate being formed with the second block portion disposed at a leading end side of the second shield plate; and
the second shield plate has a bent side portion bent in a direction facing the nozzle, the bent side portion being disposed at a side end portion of the second shield plate in a direction from the first cylinder bore to the second cylinder bore in a longitudinal direction of the engine, the second shield plate being disposed at a boundary between the first cylinder bore and the second cylinder bore.

12. The excess sprayed coating removal device according to claim 10 , wherein:
the at least one first shield has a first shield plate disposed to be spaced apart from the nozzle in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the nozzle, the first shield plate being formed with the first block portion disposed toward a leading end side of the first shield plate;
