Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation technology, and in particular to a mosaic tile transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Mosaic tiles are a type of ceramic tile. As early as the early 1980s, they were a popular material for paving bathroom walls and floors in many homes. Today, mosaic tiles have made a comeback, regaining their popularity as a decorative material with their diverse and colorful forms, and are favored by avant-garde and fashionable families. Mosaic is one of the oldest known decorative arts, creating patterns using small ceramic tiles or shards. In modern times, mosaic is more often considered a type of ceramic tile, a special form of tile, typically composed of dozens of small tiles to form a relatively large tile. Its small size and vibrant colors make it widely used for small indoor floor and wall areas, as well as large and small outdoor wall and floor surfaces. Due to their small size, mosaics can be used to create mosaic patterns and produce gradient effects.

[0003] Currently, mosaic tiles are made by cutting a whole tile into a predetermined shape, removing excess material, placing it on a heat-resistant plate, and then firing it in a kiln for a certain time and temperature. After firing, the mosaic tiles need to be manually moved one by one from the heat-resistant plate to the storage point after cooling. This not only has the disadvantages of slow operation and high labor costs, but also easily scratches the surface of the mosaic tiles, affecting sales. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a mosaic tile transportation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mosaic tile transport device that can improve the transport efficiency of mosaic tiles while reducing transport damage.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mosaic tile transport device includes a first transport mechanism, a second transport mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a placement platform;

[0007] The conveying mechanism and the placement platform are respectively arranged in the left and right directions. The conveying mechanism is located behind the placement platform. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the heat-resistant plate and stop at a fixed point. The heat-resistant plate is used to place a number of mosaic tiles arranged at intervals. The heat-resistant plate and the placement platform are at the same height and there is a conveying gap between them. The distance of the conveying gap is smaller than the diameter of the mosaic tile. The placement platform is used to place a number of mosaic tiles arranged without intervals.

[0008] Both the first and second transport mechanisms are movably disposed above the conveying mechanism and the placement platform. Both the first and second transport mechanisms can move in the left-right / front-back / up-down directions. The first transport mechanism is used to convert a plurality of mosaic tiles from an intermittent arrangement to a non-overlapping arrangement and to transfer the plurality of non-intermittent mosaic tiles from the heat-resistant plate to the placement platform. The second transport mechanism is used to suck and transfer the plurality of non-intermittent mosaic tiles from the placement platform to the next storage point.

[0009] Preferably, the first transport mechanism includes a first transport component, which includes a frame frame. A scraper bracket is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the frame frame. A scraper for pushing the mosaic tile is fixedly installed at the bottom of the scraper bracket. A drive cylinder is fixedly installed on the scraper bracket. The telescopic end of the drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame frame. The drive cylinder is used to push the scraper bracket to perform reciprocating motion in the left-right direction.

[0010] Preferably, the scraper bracket has sliders on both sides, and the frame frame has grooves on both inner sides that cooperate with the sliders.

[0011] Preferably, the scraper is made of rubber.

[0012] Preferably, the second transport mechanism includes a second transport component, which includes a fume hood, a fan, and a duct. The fume hood has a fume extraction cavity inside, and the duct connects the fume extraction cavity and the fan. The fan draws air from the fume hood through the duct.

[0013] The exhaust hood has an opening at its lower end, and a breathable sponge is provided at the lower opening. The sidewall of the breathable sponge is fitted and installed against the inner wall of the exhaust hood.

[0014] Preferably, the exhaust pipe is a Y-shaped pipe, with two branch pipes of the Y-shaped pipe respectively connected to the exhaust cavity, and the main pipe of the Y-shaped pipe connected to the exhaust fan.

[0015] Preferably, the first transport mechanism further includes a first drive assembly, which includes a first drive member, a first frame, and a first lifting rod. The fixed end of the first lifting rod is slidably mounted on the first frame, and the telescopic end of the first lifting rod is fixedly mounted on the first transport assembly. The first drive member is used to drive the first lifting rod to move in the left-right / front-back / up-down direction, thereby driving the first transport assembly.

[0016] Preferably, the second transport mechanism further includes a second drive assembly, which includes a second drive member, a second frame, and a second lifting rod. The fixed end of the second lifting rod is slidably mounted on the second frame, and the telescopic end of the second lifting rod is fixedly mounted with the second transport assembly. The second drive member is used to drive the second lifting rod to move in the left-right / front-back / up-down direction, thereby driving the second transport assembly.

[0017] One of the above technical solutions has the following beneficial effects: First, the first transport mechanism converts a plurality of mosaic tiles from an intermittent arrangement to a non-overlapping, non-intermittent arrangement, and then transfers the non-intermittently arranged mosaic tiles from the heat-resistant plate to the placement platform. This solves the problem that the current method of transporting mosaic tiles in the production process is mostly manual, which results in slow and inefficient tile transport, thus affecting the production efficiency of mosaic tiles. Second, the second transport mechanism then uses suction to transfer the non-intermittently arranged mosaic tiles from the placement platform to the next storage point. The suction process does not affect the surface of the mosaic tiles, which not only reduces the labor intensity of handling but also facilitates transportation. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a mosaic tile transport device includes a first transport mechanism 1, a second transport mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, and a placement platform 4;

[0030] The conveying mechanism 3 and the placement platform 4 are respectively arranged in the left and right directions. The conveying mechanism 3 is located behind the placement platform 4. The conveying mechanism 3 is used to convey the heat-resistant plate 5 and stop at a fixed point. The heat-resistant plate 5 is used to place a number of mosaic tiles arranged at intervals. The heat-resistant plate 5 and the placement platform 4 have the same height and a conveying gap is left between them. The distance of the conveying gap is smaller than the diameter of the mosaic tile. The placement platform 4 is used to place a number of mosaic tiles arranged without intervals.

[0031] Both the first transport mechanism 1 and the second transport mechanism 2 are movably disposed above the conveying mechanism 3 and the placement platform 4. Both the first transport mechanism and the second transport mechanism can move in the left-right / front-back / up-down directions. The first transport mechanism 1 is used to convert a plurality of mosaic tiles from an intermittent arrangement to a non-overlapping arrangement, and to transfer a plurality of non-intermittent mosaic tiles from the heat-resistant plate 5 to the placement platform 4. The second transport mechanism is used to suck and transfer a plurality of non-intermittent mosaic tiles from the placement platform 4 to the next storage point.

[0032] Currently, mosaic tiles are made by cutting a whole tile into a predetermined shape, removing excess material, placing it on a heat-resistant plate 5, and then firing it in a kiln for a certain time and temperature. After firing, the mosaic tiles on the heat-resistant plate 5 need to be manually moved one by one to the storage point after cooling. This not only has the disadvantages of slow operation and high labor costs, but also easily scratches the surface of the mosaic tiles, affecting sales. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a mosaic tile transportation device.

[0033] This invention first uses the first transport mechanism 1 to convert a plurality of mosaic tiles from an intermittent arrangement to a non-overlapping, uninterrupted arrangement, and then transfers these uninterrupted mosaic tiles from the heat-resistant plate 5 to the placement platform 4. This solves the problem that current mosaic tile production processes often rely on manual methods for transportation, which are slow and inefficient, thus affecting production efficiency. Secondly, the second transport mechanism then uses a suction device to transfer the uninterrupted mosaic tiles from the placement platform 4 to the next storage point. This suction process does not damage the surface of the mosaic tiles, reducing labor intensity and facilitating transportation.

[0034] To further explain, the first transport mechanism 1 includes a first transport component 11, which includes a frame frame 111. A scraper bracket 112 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the frame frame 111. A scraper 113 for pushing the mosaic tiles is fixedly installed at the bottom of the scraper bracket 112. A drive cylinder 114 is fixedly installed on the scraper bracket 112. The telescopic end of the drive cylinder 114 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame frame 111. The drive cylinder 114 is used to push the scraper bracket 112 to reciprocate in the left-right direction.

[0035] The working principle of the first transportation mechanism 1 is as follows: First, as Figure 6 As shown in (A), a frame-shaped frame 111 is used to enclose a number of mosaic tiles arranged at intervals on the heat-resistant plate 5. Specifically, the number of mosaic tiles arranged at intervals are enclosed between the three sides inside the frame-shaped frame 111 and the scraper 113; then as shown in (A)... Figure 6 As shown in (B), the drive cylinder 114 pushes the scraper 113 to the right, reducing the enclosed area, thus reducing the left and right spacing between several mosaic tiles to a state where they do not overlap and are arranged without gaps; then as... Figure 6 As shown in (CD), the first transport component 1 is moved forward as a whole, reducing the front-to-back spacing between several mosaic tiles to a state where they do not overlap and are arranged without gaps, and then the several mosaic tiles are transferred to the placement platform 4; finally, as shown in (CD), the first transport component 1 is moved forward as a whole, reducing the front-to-back spacing between several mosaic tiles to a state where they do not overlap and are arranged without gaps, and the several mosaic tiles are transferred to the placement platform 4; finally, as shown in (CD), the first transport component 1 is moved forward as a whole, reducing the front-to-back spacing between several mosaic tiles to a state where they do not overlap and are arranged without gaps, and then ... Figure 6 As shown in (E), the first transport component 1 is first moved upward as a whole, and then returned to its initial position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the operation of the first transport mechanism 1 on several mosaic tiles facilitates the overall transport of several mosaic tiles by the second transport mechanism 2. At the same time, when several mosaic tiles are transferred to the placement platform 4, the conveying mechanism 3 can transport a new heat-resistant plate 5 to below the initial position of the first transport mechanism 1 to speed up the transport of mosaic tiles and thus improve the production efficiency of mosaic tiles.

[0037] To further explain, the scraper bracket 112 has sliders 115 on both sides, and the frame frame 111 has grooves 116 on both inner sides that cooperate with the sliders 115. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the sliders 115 and the grooves 116 on both sides facilitates the smooth movement of the scraper 113, so that the left and right gaps between several mosaic tiles can be reduced at a uniform speed, ensuring the overall neatness of the mosaic tiles.

[0038] To further explain, the scraper 113 is made of rubber. In this embodiment, the rubber scraper 113 can effectively push the accumulated mosaic tiles while avoiding wear on the heat-resistant plate 5 and the placement platform 4, thereby reducing maintenance work.

[0039] To further explain, the second transport mechanism 2 includes a second transport component 21, which includes an exhaust hood 211, an exhaust fan 212, and an exhaust pipe 213. The exhaust hood 211 has an exhaust cavity inside, and the exhaust pipe 213 is connected to the exhaust cavity and the exhaust fan 212 respectively. The exhaust fan 212 draws air from the exhaust hood 211 through the exhaust pipe 213.

[0040] The exhaust hood 211 has an opening at its lower end, and a breathable sponge 214 is provided at the lower end opening. The side wall of the breathable sponge 214 is fitted and installed in close contact with the inner wall of the exhaust hood 211.

[0041] To further explain, the exhaust pipe 213 is a Y-shaped pipe, with two branch pipes of the Y-shaped pipe respectively connected to the exhaust cavity, and the main pipe of the Y-shaped pipe connected to the exhaust fan 212.

[0042] In this embodiment, the exhaust fan 212 draws gas from the exhaust cavity through the exhaust pipe 213. Since the breathable sponge 214 is breathable, it does not block the entry of gas. With the continuous exhaust by the exhaust fan 212, the gas is continuously sucked away, which ensures the continuous operation of the exhaust hood 211. At the same time, due to the Y-shaped design of the exhaust pipe 213, the exhaust force in all parts of the exhaust cavity can be ensured to be uniform. When several mosaic tiles are adsorbed on the breathable sponge 214, it can prevent individual mosaic tiles from falling due to insufficient adsorption force, and the surface of the mosaic tiles will not be damaged.

[0043] It should be noted that the suction power of the exhaust fan 212 should be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0044] Furthermore, the first transport mechanism 1 also includes a first drive assembly 12, which includes a first drive member 121, a first frame 122, and a first lifting rod 123. The fixed end of the first lifting rod 123 is slidably mounted on the first frame 122, and the telescopic end of the first lifting rod 123 is fixedly mounted on the first transport assembly 11. The first drive member 121 is used to drive the first lifting rod 123 to move in the left-right / front-back / up-down direction, thereby driving the first transport assembly 11.

[0045] Furthermore, the second transport mechanism 2 also includes a second drive assembly 22, which includes a second drive member 221, a second frame 222, and a second lifting rod 223. The fixed end of the second lifting rod 223 is slidably mounted on the second frame 221, and the telescopic end of the second lifting rod 223 is fixedly mounted on the second transport assembly 21. The second drive member 221 is used to drive the second lifting rod 223 to move in the left-right / front-back / up-down direction, thereby driving the second transport assembly 21.

[0046] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of the invention without inventive effort, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
