[0042] Working principle:

[0043] The worker at the right station 8 places the ceramic piece 3 on the suction cup 2a at the center of the conveyor frame 2. The bottom of the ceramic piece 3 is sucked by the suction cup 2a. The piston rod of the right station in-and-out oil cylinder 72 extends, pushing the conveyor frame 2 to the water-removing station 9 in the middle of the frame 1 (the position of the water-removing station is where the frame is located directly below the rotating cover). At this time, the rotating cover 41 is in the high position of the screw rod.

[0044] Next, the solenoid valve (not shown) at the front end of the air inlet pipe 62 is opened, allowing compressed air to be ejected from the air nozzle 61a through the air storage pipe 61 to initially remove the dust on the surface of the ceramic piece 3;

[0045] Then, the pneumatic ball valve 11 below the water storage hopper 5 opens, allowing water to flow into the various longitudinal flow channels 41b of the rotating cover 41 through the inner cavity of the hollow rotating shaft 411, and then flow out from the water outlet 41a to seep onto the sponge block 45 of the water-repellent layer; then, the rotating motor 412 drives the rotating cover 41 to rotate through the rotation of the transmission device; the lifting motor 433 drives the screw rod 431 to rotate, thereby driving the screw nut 432 to move along the height direction of the screw rod, driving the rotating cover 41 to rotate and descend, and the sponge block 45 fully contacts the surface of the ceramic part 3, thereby completing the water retention of the ceramic part 3;

[0046] Finally, the rotating cover 41 rises, and the piston rod of the left station in-and-out cylinder 71 extends, driving the conveyor rack 2 to move to the left side of the frame to the left station 10. The worker removes the ceramic piece 3 that has completed water-proofing and puts on a new ceramic piece 3. Then the piston rod of the left station in-and-out cylinder 71 retracts to be able to push the conveyor rack 2 to the right to the water-proofing station 9, and repeats the above steps in sequence.

[0047] It should be noted that the electrical components appearing in this application are all connected to an external power supply and control system, and the left workstation in and out oil cylinder and the right workstation in and out oil cylinder are connected to an external hydraulic station. Among them, the control system can adopt the structure in the existing technology and can be configured with button structures such as switches. The control system is used to control the operation of the lifting motor, rotating motor, pneumatic ball valve, solenoid valve at the front end of the air intake pipe, and the left workstation in and out oil cylinder and the right workstation in and out oil cylinder.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
