[0026] The technical scheme of the utility model is further illustrated below by combining with the drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0027] As Figs. 1-2As shown, the embodiment provides a nozzle for spraying a shot to a surface of a metal workpiece. The nozzle comprises a nozzle body 1, a spraying channel 10 is formed on the nozzle body 1, the nozzle body 1 is installed on a shot launcher, and the spraying channel 10 is communicated with an output end of the shot launcher. An end of the nozzle body 1 away from the shot launcher is provided with a size mark 2, and the size mark 2 is annular. Before each shot peening operation, the size mark 2 at the end of the nozzle body 1 is checked to ensure that the size mark 2 is complete and clearly visible; during the operation, the size mark 2 can be checked after each program to observe whether the size mark 2 changes, if the size mark 2 has a gap and is not a complete annular, the shot peening operation needs to be stopped and the nozzle needs to be replaced in time; or when the inner wall of the spraying channel 10 approaches the size mark 2, the nozzle can also be replaced in advance. The nozzle can realize periodic monitoring and checking of the size of the nozzle to ensure the quality and consistency of the shot peening process; at the same time, manual measurement of the size of the nozzle is not required, which can effectively improve the checking accuracy and testing efficiency.

[0028] Optionally, along the radial direction of the nozzle body 1, the distance between the size mark 2 and the wall surface of the spraying channel 10 is 10% of the diameter size of the nozzle channel 10. According to the relevant standard, when the nozzle is worn to 10% of the diameter size of the nozzle channel 10, it has approached the upper limit of the process requirement, and the nozzle needs to be replaced to ensure the quality of subsequent shot peening. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the distance between the size mark 2 and the wall surface of the spraying channel 10 can also be 5%, 15% or 20% of the diameter size of the nozzle channel 10, and the position of the size mark 2 can be flexibly set according to the requirements, which is not specifically limited here.

[0029] Specifically, the size mark 2 can be a mark set after the nozzle body 1 is manufactured; or it can be a ring-shaped part embedded in the nozzle body 1 during the manufacturing process of the nozzle, when the nozzle body 1 is worn to expose part of the ring-shaped part, the nozzle needs to be replaced in time.

[0030] Optionally, the size mark 2 is coated with a color developing pigment to be more easily distinguished visually, thereby facilitating the operator to confirm whether the size mark 2 is complete and clearly visible, thereby improving the checking efficiency. Exemplarily, the color developing pigment is ink, paint or coating, etc.

[0031] Alternatively, the area between the edge of the nozzle channel 10 and the size mark 2 can also be coated with a color developing pigment. When the part coated with the color developing pigment is all worn out, it indicates that the nozzle needs to be replaced.

[0032] Optionally, the size mark 2 is provided with a text mark, and the text mark is used to mark that the size mark 2 is a "size mark", so as to facilitate the operator to better understand and use the nozzle.

[0033] Optionally, the outer layer of the nozzle body 1 is made of aluminum alloy material, which has good heat conduction performance and can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the nozzle during operation. In shot peening operation, the nozzle body 1 may generate heat due to friction with high-speed projectiles and impact of the projectiles. Timely heat dissipation can prevent the nozzle body 1 from overheating, which may cause material performance degradation, deformation or even damage, and help maintain the dimensional accuracy and performance stability of the nozzle body 1. At the same time, the density of aluminum alloy is about one-third of that of general steel. Using aluminum alloy as the outer layer material of the nozzle body 1 can significantly reduce the overall weight of the nozzle body 1, making it easier to handle and operate during installation, which helps to reduce labor intensity and improve installation efficiency.

[0034] Optionally, the inner layer of the nozzle body 1 is made of boron carbide material. The Mohs hardness of boron carbide is as high as 9.3, second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride. Using boron carbide material in the inner layer of the nozzle body 1 can effectively resist the erosion and wear of high-speed projectiles or spraying media, greatly extending the service life of the nozzle, reducing the problems of nozzle aperture enlargement and shape change caused by wear, and ensuring the long-term stability of the spraying accuracy and effect of the nozzle. At the same time, in processes such as shot peening that require high pressure and high speed spraying, the boron carbide inner layer can withstand frequent impact and friction, maintain the original shape and size of the nozzle body 1, keep the sprayed projectiles or media at a stable speed and direction, ensure the consistency and uniformity of the shot peening effect, and improve the processing quality and efficiency.

[0035] Optionally, the outer wall of the nozzle body 1 is provided with a limiting portion 3. The shot peening device is provided with a clamping portion which is clamped to the outer circumferential side of the limiting portion 3 to ensure the stability of the nozzle body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting portion 3 is a fixed ring protruding from the outer wall of the nozzle body 1.

[0036] Further, the limiting portion 3 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Specifically, the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip pad such as a rubber pad provided on the side of the limiting portion 3 facing the clamping portion; or the anti-slip structure is an anti-slip protrusion provided on the side of the limiting portion 3 facing the clamping portion. The anti-slip protrusion can be a point-shaped protrusion or a protrusion with any shape of pattern, which functions to increase the contact friction between the clamping portion and the limiting portion 3 and improve stability. Its specific form is referred to the prior art, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment as long as it can increase the friction.

[0037] In addition, the embodiment further provides a shot peening device, comprising a projectile launcher and the nozzle, the nozzle is detachably arranged at the output end of the projectile launcher, facilitating installation, and facilitating subsequent disassembly and replacement. Specifically, the nozzle can be threadedly connected to the output end of the projectile launcher, or can be flange connected or quick plug connected to the output end of the projectile launcher, and the specific connection structure and form refer to the prior art, which will not be described here. The shot peening device has all the beneficial effects of the nozzle, which will not be described here.

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the output end of the projectile launcher is provided with a mounting seat, the nozzle body 1 is arranged on the mounting seat, and the limiting portion 3 abuts against one end of the mounting seat away from the output end of the projectile launcher.

[0039] More specifically, the outer layer of the mounting seat is made of an aluminum alloy material, and the inner layer is made of a boron carbide material.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly illustrating the utility model, and are not a limitation on the embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustment and replacement can be made without departing from the protection scope of the utility model. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claim.
