Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic sample making equipment, and particularly relates to a ceramic sample making machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic materials have advantages such as high melting point, high hardness, high wear resistance, and oxidation resistance. They also possess certain special properties and are widely used as structural materials, cutting tool materials, and functional materials.

[0003] In the research and development and preparation of ceramic materials, it is necessary to prepare multiple ceramic samples from clay for experiments. These samples are used to test the ceramic's light transmittance, physical properties (mechanical, electromagnetic, etc.), and materials chemistry to determine whether the ceramic material meets the expected performance. Currently, the preparation of ceramic samples usually involves manually pressing and compacting the clay with tools, and then manually cutting multiple ceramic samples with the same shape, size, and thickness as the target sample.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors discovered that manually cutting sample pieces is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to control the thickness and surface flatness of the sample pieces, thus failing to meet the requirement of keeping one variable constant during the experiment. Furthermore, unevenness of the ceramic sample surface can affect the experimental results. Summary of the Invention

The lifting shaft is provided with a number of guide teeth along its length that mesh with the spiral pattern. The turntable is rotatably connected to the support frame, and a hand crank is provided on the side of the turntable away from the lifting shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, the support frame includes a base and a vertical rotating main rod. The bottom end of the rotating main rod is rotatably connected to the base, and the top end is fixedly connected to a horizontal fixing arm. The end of the fixing arm away from the rotating main rod is slidably connected to a lifting shaft and rotatably connected to the turntable through a connecting frame.

[0018] The outer circumferential surface of the rotating main rod is slidably connected to a limiting block along its length, and the top of the base is provided with a limiting groove for the limiting block to be inserted.

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The specific content of this invention will be explained in further detail below.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This invention discloses a ceramic sample making machine, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ceramic sample making machine includes a support frame, which includes a base 1. A vertical rotating main rod 6 is mounted on the top of the base 1. The bottom end of the rotating main rod 6 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a bearing, and a horizontal fixed arm 7 is fixedly connected to its top end. A vertical lifting shaft sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed arm 7 away from the rotating main rod 6. A vertical lifting shaft 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting shaft sleeve 8 through a sliding groove and a slider. A limit block is slidably connected to the outer circumference of the rotating main rod 6 along its length. A limit groove is provided on the top of the base 1 for the limit block to insert into. The rotating main rod 6 and the limit block are slidably connected through the sliding groove and the slider. The cooperation between the limit groove and the limit block fixes the position of the rotating main rod 6 after rotation.

[0045] The lifting shaft 9 is connected to a hand-cranked drive mechanism for controlling its lifting and lowering. The hand-cranked drive mechanism includes a turntable at an angle to the horizontal plane and a handle 12. One end of the handle 12 is coaxially fixedly connected to the turntable, and the other end is vertically connected to an extension rod. A hand crank 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod away from the handle 12. The turntable is connected to a fixed arm 7 via a connecting frame. The connecting frame surrounds the lifting shaft 9, and the end of the connecting frame away from the fixed arm 7 is rotatably connected to the turntable via a rotating shaft. This end of the connecting frame is located within a spiral groove 11. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the turntable, and the other end passes through the connecting frame and is fixedly connected to a baffle 20. The connecting frame has a through hole for the rotating shaft to rotate. Thus, the cooperation of the rotating shaft, the baffle 20, and the through hole enables the rotational connection between the turntable and the connecting frame.

[0046] The turntable has a spiral pattern 11 on the side away from the handle 12. The lifting shaft 9 protrudes from the side wall of the lifting shaft sleeve 8 on the side away from the fixed arm 7 and has several guide teeth 10 that mesh with the spiral pattern 11. The guide teeth 10 are evenly distributed along the length of the lifting shaft 9. The turntable can be parallel to the lifting shaft 9 or at an angle to it. In this way, with the cooperation of the spiral pattern 11 and the guide teeth 10, rotating the turntable can drive the lifting shaft 9 to move up and down. The cooperation of the turntable, handle 12, extension rod and hand crank 13 realizes the driving of the lifting shaft 9 by the hand crank drive mechanism.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A rectangular mold fixing frame 3 is provided below the lifting shaft sleeve 8, and one side of the mold fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1. The mold fixing frame 3 is detachably connected to a mold, which includes a cylinder 17 for holding clay. A limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 17, overlapping the top of the mold fixing frame 3. The limiting plate 18 is integrally formed with the cylinder 17, and the limiting plate 18 has a passage opening communicating with the cylinder 17. A transparent frame for observing the clay content inside the cylinder 17 is provided along the length direction of the side wall of the cylinder 17, and a scale 19 is also provided on the side wall of the cylinder 17.

[0048] Thus, the cylinder 17, the limiting plate 18, and the through port enable a detachable connection between the mold and the mold fixing frame 3; the transparent frame and the scale 19 effectively improve the convenience of controlling the thickness of the sample.

[0049] The bottom of the lifting shaft 9 is detachably connected to a pressure column 16 for pressing the clay inside the cylinder 17. The top of the pressure column 16 is integrally formed with a buckle 15, and the bottom of the lifting shaft 9 is provided with a slot 14 for the buckle 15 to engage. In this way, the engagement of the slot 14 and the buckle 15 enables the detachable connection between the lifting shaft 9 and the pressure column 16.

[0050] The cross-section of the cylinder 17 can be any shape, such as a triangle, a square, or a circle; the shape of the opening and the cross-section of the pressure column 16 are the same as the cross-section of the cylinder 17; in this embodiment, the cross-section of the cylinder 17 is circular, that is, the cylinder 17 is a cylindrical tube.

[0051] The bottom of the mold fixing frame 3 is provided with a cutting line 4 for cutting clay into sample pieces. The cutting line 4 is horizontally set and slidably connected to the mold fixing frame 3, and tensioning buttons 5 are provided at both ends of the cutting line 4. A tray 2 for receiving the sample pieces is provided below the mold fixing frame 3. The tray 2 is detachably connected to the base 1 through inserts and slots.

[0052] The implementation principle of a ceramic sample making machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Before use, the turntable is rotated by the hand crank 13 to drive the lifting shaft 9 to rise above the mold, the limit block is slid upward to make the limit block disengage from the limit groove, and then the rotating main rod 6 is rotated so that the fixed arm 7 drives the lifting shaft 9 to rotate to a position away from the mold fixing frame 3 through the lifting shaft sleeve 8, so that the pressure column 16 is installed at the bottom of the lifting shaft 9, and the cylinder 17 containing the clay is connected to the mold fixing frame 3 through the limit plate 18;

[0053] Then, the rotating main rod 6 is rotated, causing the lifting shaft 9 to drive the pressure column 16 to rotate above the cylinder 17. The limiting block automatically inserts into the limiting groove under the action of gravity, thereby fixing the rotating main rod 6 after rotation. Furthermore, the cooperation between the rotating main rod 6 and the fixed arm 7 can drive the lifting shaft 9 to rotate away from the cylinder 17 through the lifting shaft sleeve 8, so as to replace and clean the pressure column 16.

[0054] When in use, turn the hand crank 13 to make the turntable drive the lifting shaft 9 to descend, so that the pressure column 16 squeezes the clay from the bottom of the cylinder 17. Then observe the position of the clay in the transparent frame and read the reading on the scale 19. When the thickness of the squeezed clay is the same as the thickness of the target sample, slide the cutting line 4 to cut the clay into a sample. The sample can then fall into the tray 2 for subsequent testing.

[0055] Thus, the ceramic sample making machine of the present invention can improve the convenience of controlling the thickness and flatness of the sample, and effectively improve the efficiency of making ceramic samples.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between the ceramic sample making machine of this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the cross-sectional shape of the cylinder 17 is rectangular, and the shape of the orifice and the cross-sectional shape of the pressure column 16 are also rectangular.

[0058] In summary, the ceramic sample making machine of the present invention improves the efficiency of ceramic sample making and the convenience of controlling the thickness and surface flatness of ceramic samples.
