Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of building ceramic tile production, and in particular to a distribution device for a ceramic plate with a full-body texture and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In modern architectural decoration, natural stone undoubtedly offers advantages in terms of color and texture due to its natural characteristics. However, with continued mining, natural mineral resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Ceramic products with superior physical and chemical properties are becoming increasingly popular, especially for stone with all-over pattern effects and natural, smooth sandstone-like textures.
[0003] Ceramic panels with natural and smooth textures are mainly imitation sandstone ceramic panels, like ceramic tiles made of inkjet printed patterns. Although they can replicate many sandstone surface patterns, they are actually only surface effects, not full-body patterns. Moreover, the inkjet process of imitating surface patterns uses glaze or dry aggregate as a surface protective layer. In order to ensure a better inkjet effect, these materials have a higher transparency after sintering, so they are mainly glassy. It is well known in the industry that the wear resistance of the glazed surface is not as high as the wear resistance of the green body surface mainly made of sandstone.
[0004] There are also ceramic products with striped textures made through other fabric technologies:
[0005] For example, the patent with application publication number CN102225577A is a line effect of repeated superposition of ceramic powder in an aggregate box. The aggregate box is installed at an angle of 15°-60°, and the material amount of the patterned fabric hopper and the line hopper above is uneven across the entire fabric width, so that the cross-section of the aggregate box receives different amounts of powder, thereby forming high and low powder stacks to form a texture. The texture is formed by pushing and collecting. This angle setting cannot produce a flow effect formed by the weight of the powder on the slope, and the products made using aggregate boxes use secondary fabrics or even fine powders without fluidity. First, there is no flow texture, and second, there is no whole-body texture effect. It is difficult to meet the needs of consumers who hope that these ceramic plates can achieve a consistent pattern texture effect from the outside to the inside.
[0006] Another example is the patent application with publication number CN102126249A, which is a dense and fine line effect formed by the powder materials from the surface hopper and the front and rear line hoppers falling into the longitudinal blanking cavity and repeatedly stacking on the powder guide strips connected to the longitudinal material receiving belt and falling onto the flat conveyor belt through the rotation of the longitudinal material receiving belt. One of the reasons is that the ceramic raw materials used are fine powder materials with no fluidity. Since the method of distributing all fine powders at one time cannot be well vented during the press stamping, it is well known in the industry that in batch industrial production, all fine powders are made into dry pressing materials. It is not feasible to produce ceramic products with micro-fine powder, which can only be done by secondary spreading, so it is impossible to produce a full-body effect; secondly, due to the thickness limit of the micro-powder during the pressing process, the width between the longitudinal material receiving belt of the blanking cavity and the glass plate, that is, the width of the powder guide strip, is narrow, and the micro-powder material is stacked in a flat layer on the powder guide strip, so it has no fluidity; thirdly, the micro-powder material on the powder guide strip is flipped to nearly 90° under the conformal effect of the arc corner at the bottom of the glass plate and falls onto the flat conveyor belt. This is also a conformal effect that can only be achieved due to the non-fluidity of the micro-powder. Although this spreading method can produce horizontal texture patterns, the product made of fine powder does not have the fluidity of the powder with a particle size of 60 mesh to 100 mesh, like the flowing texture of sandstone, and does not have a full-body effect, so it cannot meet the consumer's demand for edge grinding and chamfering.
[0007] Another example is patent application CN 101913195 A, which, while capable of producing horizontally textured sandstone slabs, employs a method of distributing material through multiple stations and pushing it through multiple shaped pusher grids, where the powdered material is pushed and squeezed by the shaped grids to form a textured pattern. Finally, the material is filled and swept to create a single, textured area. This technical solution, on the one hand, results in the shaped grids pushing and squeezing the material, creating a rigid, hardened, and artificial appearance, making it difficult to mimic the natural effect of sandstone produced by the flow of molten magma. On the other hand, the empty spaces left by the final shaped grid push and squeeze require a flat filling and then a sweeping method. This results in a non-uniform textured area, and it also fails to achieve the consistent, full-body texture that consumers demand for edge-grinding and chamfering. Crucially, the textured area is not formed by the flow of various colored powders along the slope in a designed sequence.
[0008] In summary, the existing technical solutions need to be further improved, especially in terms of achieving controllable straight or diagonal grain layout in natural stone and producing a natural and smooth texture pattern effect. Summary of the Invention

Machine Preparation: Assemble a conventional pressing machine and the feeding device for the ceramic tile with a full-body texture according to claim 7 to form a ceramic tile production line, select an angle α between 61° and 90°, and select an angle β between 45° and 90°, install the feeding device, set the discharge position, discharge sequence, and discharge amount of the discharge assembly, set the height of the discharge gate, and set the running speed of the belt conveyor assembly;
[0046] b. Raw material preparation: Prepare 2 to 10 kinds of ceramic raw materials of single color or mixed color and / or powder, granular, or flake materials obtained by crushing or rolling these ceramic raw materials after pre-pressing, and mix them into a prepared material in a predetermined proportion, wherein the prepared material is a powder material with a 60-mesh sieve residue of 85% or more of the particle size, and load the prepared material into the predetermined discharge hopper of the discharge assembly;
[0047] c. Start the machine: the unloading conveyor belt is in operation, and the unloading assembly works according to a preset timing to load and unload materials onto the unloading conveyor belt, and the unloading conveyor belt transports the raw materials to the material holding cavity of the powder preform box;
[0048] d. Natural flow of raw materials: The unloading conveyor belt drops the raw materials on it into the material holding cavity from the upper opening. Under its own weight, the raw materials are stacked and flowed from top to bottom according to the preset raw material accumulation angle, forming a powder layout with a sloped flow texture, and are stored in the material holding cavity.
[0049] e. Material distribution: The belt conveyor assembly is started, and the raw material with a fluid structure and a textured pattern flows out from the discharge gate at the lower end of the material holding cavity and is spread flat on the conveying plane of the belt conveyor assembly. A secondary conveyor assembly is also provided at the feed end of the press, and a transition plate is further provided between the secondary conveyor assembly and the belt conveyor assembly. The belt conveyor assembly receives the raw material with a fluid structure and conveys it to the conveying plane of the secondary conveyor assembly. The secondary conveyor assembly conveys the raw material with a fluid structure and a textured pattern into the press;
[0050] f. Pressing: The press presses the raw materials into blanks;
[0051] g. Drying and firing: Dry the pressed green body and send it into a kiln for firing;
[0052] h. Processing: After firing, the body is edge-ground, polished, or only edge-ground without polishing to produce a porcelain plate with a flowing body texture.
[0053] Through such settings, first, the raw materials are selected according to the design requirements, and the pre-configured raw materials are fed into the powder preforming box through the feeding assembly. The powder forms an accumulation in the preforming box and flows naturally under its own weight, thereby forming a natural flowing texture effect. The accumulation angle of the raw materials can be designed according to the ratio of the raw materials. By installing the powder preforming box and the feeding assembly according to the selected angle α and angle β, α is in the range of 61° to 90°, which can ensure that the powder fed into the powder preforming box can flow under its own weight, thereby forming a natural shape, and the angle β is set according to the needs, so that a straight or twill texture pattern can be formed on the conveying surface of the belt conveyor assembly; after the laying is successful, the raw materials are transported to the pressing machine for pressing, and then through drying, firing and processing, the required raw materials are formed into a full-body green ceramic plate with a natural fluidity effect to meet the needs of actual production and life.
[0054] Preferably, in step c, one or more detection sensors are set to control the action of one or more driving members. When the detection sensor at a certain position detects the raw material, the driving member is started to drive the discharge baffle to close or the driving member is started to drive the discharge baffle to open.
[0055] Through such a setting, the control of the detection sensor can be set through the program to realize automatic control of the opening or closing of the corresponding discharge baffle and the discharge amount, so as to obtain a variety of raw material layouts in the material cavity, which is conducive to the production of boards with diverse texture layouts.
[0056] Preferably, in step f, the pressing machine is a moldless cavity press, and the secondary conveyor belt assembly directly transports the raw materials of the fluid-like throughout-body texture modeling layout to the forming position of the press, and the pressing machine presses the raw materials of the fluid-like throughout-body texture modeling layout into a green body, and with the circulating action of the secondary conveyor belt assembly, the green body is sent to a drying kiln for drying, and the subsequent raw materials of the fluid-like throughout-body texture modeling layout enter the next round of green body pressing process with the circulating action of the secondary conveyor belt assembly, forming a cycle of laying, pressing, and sending the continuously prepared green bodies to the drying kiln for drying.
[0057] Through such an arrangement, the existing moldless cavity press can be used in the pressing process. After the belt conveyor component receives the flat raw materials with fluidity, the raw materials are conveyed to the conveying plane of the secondary conveying component. The raw materials are directly input into the forming position of the press through the secondary conveying component. The press presses the raw materials, and the cyclic unloading and pressing process is realized through the secondary conveying component. The structure is simple.
[0058] Preferably, in step f, the pressing machine is a stamping press with a mold cavity, and the secondary conveyor belt assembly is a retractable movable conveyor belt. The secondary conveyor belt assembly moves forward and extends to the mold cavity position of the press, and places the raw material with a flowing texture pattern into the mold cavity of the press. After placing the material, the secondary conveyor belt assembly immediately returns to the bottom of the belt conveyor assembly to wait for the next round of material placement and connection.
[0059] When the secondary conveyor belt assembly exits the die cavity position of the press, the press begins to punch out the green body, and the raw materials that have been carried for the next round of flow-like layout move forward with the secondary conveyor belt assembly, pushing the green body pressed in the previous time out of the press for the next round of laying, forming a cycle of laying, pressing and sending the continuously produced green bodies to the drying kiln for drying.
[0060] With such an arrangement, an existing stamping press with a cavity can also be used in the pressing process, and the secondary conveyor belt assembly selects a retractable and movable conveyor belt in the prior art. During the pressing process, the secondary conveyor belt assembly is moved forward to the mold cavity position of the press to unload the ceramic raw materials into the mold cavity. Then, the secondary conveyor assembly is retracted to the bottom of the belt conveyor assembly to receive the raw materials for the next round of feeding. After the secondary conveyor belt assembly exits the mold cavity position, the press presses the raw materials in the mold cavity to form a blank. The next round of feeding of the secondary conveyor assembly pushes the blank formed by the previous round of pressing away from the press, and feeds the blank at the mold cavity position, thereby forming a cycle of unloading and pressing.
[0061] Preferably, in step b, the material discharging hopper of the material discharging assembly is a combination of a pit-carved roller hopper and a flat roller hopper;
[0062] Alternatively, in step b, the raw materials are moved on the unloading conveyor belt by a lever to adjust the layout of the raw materials on the belt, or the raw materials are disturbed during the process of falling into the material cavity, so that the layout of the raw materials in the material cavity is changed;
[0063] Alternatively, in step c, the shape of the raw material in the material holding cavity of the powder preforming box is changed by adjusting the position of the baffle;
[0064] Alternatively, in step b, the position of the partition in the storage section is adjusted and / or one or more discharge baffles in the split baffle are selected to adjust the discharge width, discharge position and amount of the discharge hopper, thereby controlling the raw materials to enter the material holding cavity to form different stacking surfaces, causing changes in the stacking and flow patterns of the raw materials in the material holding cavity.
[0065] Through such an arrangement, the unloading hopper selected in the unloading assembly is a combination of a partially concave carved drum hopper and a flat roller hopper, which can produce new controllable changes in the shape and position of the position of the raw materials on the unloading conveyor belt and the shaping raw materials scheduled to enter the material holding cavity; by moving or retracting the lever, the raw materials on the unloading conveyor belt or the raw materials falling from the unloading conveyor belt to the material holding cavity are disturbed, thereby also changing the layout of the raw materials after entering the material holding cavity, so that the shape of the raw materials changes; similarly, by adjusting the baffle, or adjusting the position of the partition, or selecting different discharge baffles, the stacking form and flow form of the raw materials in the material holding cavity can be changed, thereby improving the diversity of products.
[0066] Preferably, between step f and step g, the green body is transported to a glazing line process for inkjetting of a predetermined pattern, application of glaze, and surface decoration effects of dry granular materials.
[0067] By setting it up in this way, the glaze line process is entered to perform inkjet of predetermined patterns and surface decoration effects of applying glaze and dry granular materials, making the surface effects of the product richer.
[0068] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved beneficial technical effects:
[0069] 1. The present invention provides a material distribution device, wherein the powder preforming box is arranged at 61° to 90° on the conveying plane of the belt conveyor assembly, so that the flow of raw materials under the action of gravity has sufficient potential energy, so that the raw materials have a better natural flow effect; and the distribution angle of the powder preforming box can be adjusted according to predetermined design requirements, which can form a straight or diagonal texture shape throughout the blank, realizing both the slope flow effect texture under the action of gravity and the controllable adjustment of the diagonal and straight grain angles. The technical and product effects make the imitation of natural sandstone stone materials richer, better meet diverse needs, and achieve It has a full-body effect from bottom to surface, and has a wide market demand in paving, edging, dry hanging, etc., and its applicability has been greatly expanded; and the powder on the unloading conveyor belt flows under the conveying force of the unloading conveyor belt, and the raw materials flow from top to bottom along the stacking angle in the material cavity under the action of gravity to form a texture. This texture well simulates the magma melting flow forming principle and layered blending and stacking of natural sandstone. The whole texture pattern effect is more natural and smooth, staggered, and adjacent color layers blend with each other, with natural transition, richness and diversity, and controllable random changes.
[0070] 2. In the material distribution device of the present invention, the two sides of the gate of the powder preforming box are set as one high and one low. Secondly, this gate design allows the raw materials stacked in the material cavity to be stacked in a shape-preserving manner under the action of gravity, just like being copied on a plane, so that the raw materials that can be pressed and formed can perfectly present the effect of the natural flow shape in the material cavity, overcoming the existing technology. For example, when the longitudinal blanking cavity is distributed with an arc corner, which is what the industry calls an arc plate shape-preserving material, if the powder of the present invention is used, the residue on the sieve of the 60-mesh screen reaches more than 85% of the sand particle size. If it is powder, the stacked raw materials of different colors will be completely mixed evenly, and the different color preparation materials dropped into each single color material feeding module cannot still maintain a distinct layered effect. The present invention solves the problem of forming a product with controllable color blank texture by using the above-mentioned powder of different color sand particle sizes without using fine powder. At the same time, it also solves the environmental protection and occupational health problems such as fine powder dust and crushing noise in the process of making blank texture with fine powder; in addition, a height-adjustable gate is provided, and the thickness of the material is adjusted by lifting and lowering adjustment, thereby forming a raw material layout with different thicknesses.
[0071] 3. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a ceramic plate with a textured body throughout the body, wherein the discharging hopper of the discharging component is installed with a preset operating frequency, interval time or intermittent frequency hopping rotation, and the prepared materials are placed on the discharging conveyor belt in a predetermined area, sequence, material amount and falling shape in a pre-set regional discharging manner. In addition, the discharging position and discharging amount can be automatically controlled by selecting different discharging baffles, or by receiving signals from detection sensors arranged on the front plate or the back plate to control the action of corresponding driving parts, so as to realize the automatic control of the discharging position and the discharging amount, so that the single or multiple selections of the color type, width and material amount of the raw materials entering the cavity can be more diverse and flexible, and a basis is provided for the various changes of the program parameters of these controls, thereby providing a variable raw material layout formed by program control, so that the board surface effect with richer texture layout can be more intelligently realized.
[0072] 4. The manufacturing method of the present invention also uses a discharge hopper that is a combination of some pit-carved rollers and flat rollers to make the position of the raw materials on the discharge conveyor belt and the shaping raw materials that are scheduled to enter the cavity produce new changes in shape and position that are controllable; by moving or retracting the lever, the raw materials on the discharge conveyor belt or the raw materials falling from the discharge conveyor belt to the material holding cavity are disturbed; or by adjusting the baffles, or adjusting the position of the partitions, or selecting different discharge baffles, different discharge positions and material quantities are adjusted, thereby forming different slope surfaces for controlling the discharge of materials into the material holding cavity, so that the stacking and flow patterns of the green body raw materials in the material holding cavity are changed; thereby, in continuous production, porcelain plates with a generally consistent main body but a sloped texture shape and color-changing flow-like green body texture can be produced according to the pre-designed method, and then combined with the flowing and natural texture direction, it is like the presentation of the natural stone effect, and also makes the plate surface effect richer and more natural.
[0073] 5. The manufacturing method of the present invention can also form a complementary advantage of real green body elements and colorful inkjet effects through the application of the combination of whole green body texture pattern + inkjet printing pattern, making the production of imitation stone ceramic products more realistic, beautiful and practical.
[0074] 6. The fabric structure of the present invention can realize the production of products with diverse functions, and has a compact structure and takes up little space. It mainly uses powder with a 60-mesh screen residue of more than 85% of the particle size, which is less dusty than the solution of fine powder. While providing a production technology and structure that realizes a product effect realistic to natural sandstone, it also greatly improves the production environment.
[0075] 7. The blanking hopper of the blanking assembly of the present invention is one or more blanking hoppers, which can be replaced with an electrically controlled blanking hopper composed of dot matrix blanking holes with an aperture of 5-20 mm, and can also form a more free material quantity and combination of fine control to form a more digitally controlled blanking effect.
