Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic production, in particular to a glazing device used in an environmentally friendly ceramic manufacturing process. Background Art
[0002] Baiyun porcelain is in a semi-sintered state. When the product is not in use, it can be restored to clay after processing. Therefore, it is an environmentally friendly ceramic. When firing Baiyun porcelain, the blank should be fired first, and then glazed after firing; a layer of glassy glaze is applied on the fired blank, which mainly plays a protective and decorative role. There are many kinds of glaze made from quartz, feldspar, borax, clay, etc., which are applied to the surface of porcelain and pottery and fired to have a glassy luster.
[0003] The existing method of glazing ceramics is to manually fix the ceramic with a handheld tool and then slowly immerse the ceramic in a glaze pool. In order to prevent the glaze from entering the interior of the ceramic, the ceramic opening and the glaze plane must be accurately placed at the same level by the human hand. This working method is not only inefficient, but also difficult for the human hand to maintain high concentration and precision for a long time. If the ceramic opening is lower than the glaze, the glaze will enter the interior of the ceramic, and if the ceramic opening is higher than the glaze, the glaze on the ceramic surface will not be very complete.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, a track 10 is provided on the top of the transport frame 5, a track trolley 11 is installed in the track 10, the clamping device 6 is installed at the bottom end of the track trolley 11, a power bar 12 is provided on the top of the transport frame 5, and a conductive sheet 13 is provided on the top of the track trolley 11. The conductive sheet 13 is in contact with the power bar 12 and thereby supplies power.
[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, guide frames 14 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the transport frame 5, and the clamping device 6 includes a connecting rod 15 and a sleeve rod 16. The sleeve rod 16 is sleeved on the middle surface of the connecting rod 15, and the top of the connecting rod 15 is hingedly connected to the bottom end of the rail trolley 11. The top two sides of the sleeve rod 16 are respectively slidably connected to the guide frame 14, and the bottom of the connecting rod 15 extends out of the bottom of the sleeve rod 16 and the bottom end of the connecting rod 15 is hingedly connected to a plurality of clamping claws 17. The bottom of the outer surface of the sleeve rod 16 is hingedly connected to a plurality of pull rods 18 with the same number as the clamping claws 17. The other end of the pull rod 18 is hingedly connected to the middle part of the clamping claw 17. After the sleeve rod 16 moves upward, the outer end of the clamping claw 17 is pulled open by the pull rod 18. The top two sides of the sleeve rod 16 are rotatably connected with connecting parts 22, and the other end of the connecting part 22 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the guide frame 14.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide frame 14 includes a front half guide rod 19, a rear half guide rod 20 and an oblique guide rod 21. The horizontal plane of the front half guide rod 19 is higher than the horizontal plane of the rear half guide rod 20. The front half guide rod 19 starts from the left half of the first recessed portion 7, passes through the second recessed portion 8, and then extends to the left half of the third recessed portion 9. The rear half guide rod 20 starts from the right half of the third recessed portion 9 and extends to the right half of the first recessed portion 7. Both ends of the front half guide rod 19 and the rear half guide rod 20 are connected by the oblique guide rod 21.
[0029] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the front half of the guide rod 19 at the upward inclined part on the rear side of the second recessed portion 8 is the power rod 23, the second conductive sheet is embedded in the contact surface between the connecting piece 22 and the guide frame, and a rubber sleeve 25 is installed at the outer end of the clamping claw 17. A vibration motor 26 is embedded in the rubber sleeve 25, and the second conductive sheet is electrically connected to the vibration motor 26.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the lowest point horizontal plane of the second recessed portion 8 is lower than the lowest point horizontal planes of the first recessed portion 7 and the third recessed portion 9, and the upward inclined portion on the rear side of the second recessed portion 8 is located above the rear half of the glaze pool 2.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a wiping belt 24 is provided between the glaze pool 2 and the discharge conveyor belt 4. The wiping belt 24 is driven by a motor to rotate in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor belt 4. The wiping belt 24 is located on the left side of the third recessed portion 9, and the discharge conveyor belt 4 is located on the right side of the third recessed portion 9.
[0032] After the glazed porcelain blank moves to the third recessed portion 9, it begins to move downward, first moving onto the wiping belt 24. The continuously rotating wiping belt 24 wipes off the glaze on the bottom of the porcelain blank to prevent the bottom glaze from adhering to the kiln plate during sintering and making it impossible to remove it. In addition, the absence of glaze on the bottom can also increase the friction when placing it.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] The worker places the porcelain blank to be glazed on the feed conveyor belt for transportation, and connects the power bar 12 and the power rod 23 to electricity. After the rail trolley 11 is energized, it drives the clamping device 6 to move synchronously with the feed conveyor belt, and the rail trolley 11 cooperates with the first recessed portion 7 to realize the descent of the clamping claw 17. The clamping claw 17 moves down and extends into the bottle mouth of the porcelain blank. Then, as the rail trolley 11 continues to move to the left, the sleeve rod 16 starts to move upward with the cooperation of the oblique guide rod 21 and the front half guide rod 19. The sleeve rod 16 rises through the pull rod 18 to drive the clamping claw 17 to open outward. After the clamping claw 17 opens, the rubber sleeve 25 at the end thereof abuts against the inner wall of the porcelain blank to realize the grabbing of the porcelain blank. Then the rail trolley 11 moves out of the first recessed portion 7 to drive the porcelain blank away from the feed conveyor belt, and then the rail trolley 11 moves After moving to the second recessed portion 8, it begins to descend, driving the porcelain blank to descend and send it into the glaze pool 2, so that the glaze is evenly attached to the outer wall of the porcelain blank, and then the rail trolley 11 begins to leave the second recessed portion 8 and drives the porcelain blank to rise above the glaze. At this time, the connecting piece 22 moves to the power rod 23, and the second conductive piece inside it contacts the current to energize the vibration motor 26. The vibration motor 26 starts to work and drives the porcelain blank to vibrate, shaking the excess glaze on the surface of the porcelain blank into the glaze pool 2, which can effectively prevent the waste of glaze and large-scale glaze spillage and pollution; finally, the glazed porcelain blank is wiped by the bottom of the wiping belt 24, and with the cooperation of the inclined guide rod 21 and the rear half guide rod 20, the clamping claw 17 tightens and releases the contact with the inner wall of the porcelain blank, and the porcelain blank falls onto the discharge conveyor belt 4 and is output to the next process.
[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
