Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flowerpot manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to a cement flowerpot manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] A flowerpot is a container used for planting flowers, typically shaped like an inverted frustum or truncated pyramid with a wide mouth and a narrow base. Flowerpots come in various forms and sizes. Flower producers and enthusiasts can choose flowerpots based on the characteristics and needs of their plants and the features of the pot itself. Based on the materials used, flowerpots can be categorized in many ways. Currently, flowerpots are broadly classified into plastic and ceramic types. However, plastic flowerpots have significant drawbacks: they age easily, have a short lifespan, and ultimately generate white pollution (plastic waste), making them less environmentally friendly. Therefore, ceramic flowerpots are a more popular choice.

[0003] Existing ceramic flower pots are made by pressing clay, letting it dry naturally, and then firing it with coal or natural gas. However, the use of coal or natural gas consumes a lot of energy, pollutes the environment, has a high breakage rate during firing, high production costs, and is prone to freezing and cracking. The finished ceramic flower pots are also heavy, resulting in high transportation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a process for manufacturing cement flower pots.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a process for manufacturing cement flower pots, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Clean the upper and lower molds. After cleaning, put them in the drying oven to dry. After drying, place the upper mold on the hanging device and the lower mold on the conveying device.

[0007] Step 2: Pour the ceramsite into the crusher and crush it. The crusher will stop for one minute every five minutes. During the stop, the crusher will manually sample and test the size of the ceramsite. If the size of the ceramsite meets the specified standard, crushing will stop. If the size of the ceramsite is still larger than the specified standard, the ceramsite will be poured back into the crusher and crushed again.

[0008] Step 3: After the ceramsite is crushed, pour it into the storage container;

[0009] Step 4: Pour cement, sand and ceramsite into the mixing device in a certain proportion, and use the mixing device to perform preliminary mixing of cement, sand and ceramsite. This preliminary mixing time is 10~15 minutes.

[0010] Step 5: After the initial mixing is completed, add an appropriate amount of color powder according to the customer's and actual needs, and then use a mixing device to mix the cement, sand, ceramsite and color powder a second time. This second mixing time is 30-35 minutes.

[0011] Step Six: After the second mixing is completed, the conveyor moves the lower mold. After the lower mold moves below the mixing device, the material in the mixing device falls into the lower mold. Then, the upper mold is pressed into the lower mold by the suspension device.

[0012] Step 7: Finally, let it stand for 10-14 hours before demolding.

[0013] Optionally, the size of the expanded clay aggregate in step two needs to meet the specified standard specification of 3~5mm.

[0014] Optionally, the sampling and testing method in step two is to shovel the ceramsite into the crusher 20 times, and then sample 10 ceramsite particles from each shovel for diameter testing.

[0015] Optionally, the ratio of cement, sand and ceramsite in step four is 5:1.5:3.5.

[0016] Optionally, the initial stirring time in step four is 12.35 min, and the secondary stirring time in step five is 33.69 min.

[0017] Optionally, the settling time in step seven is 12 hours.

[0018] Optionally, the conveying device includes two support plates and a conveyor belt. Conveying rollers are symmetrically rotated between the two support plates. A motor is fixed on one of the support plates. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to a conveyor roller. The two conveyor rollers are connected by a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has several placement openings for placing the lower mold. A support platform is fixed between the two support plates. The side of the support platform near the stirring device is an inclined surface.

[0019] Optionally, the stirring device includes a stirring drum, with slide rails symmetrically fixed at the lower end of the stirring drum, and sliding doors symmetrically slidably arranged between the slide rails. L-shaped support rods are fixed between the two ends of the slide rails and adjacent support plates. A support plate is fixed to the outer side of the slide rails, and a cylinder is fixed to the support plate. A U-shaped plate is fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder, and a fixed rod is fixed to the U-shaped plate. Rotary rod one and rotary rod two are rotatably arranged on the fixed rod. The ends of rotary rod one and rotary rod two away from the fixed rod are respectively hinged to the two sliding doors. A motor two is fixed to the upper end of the stirring drum, and a cover plate is fixed to the output shaft of motor two. A support column is fixed inside the stirring drum, and a dual-shaft motor is fixed inside the support column. Rotary rods are fixed to both output shafts of the dual-shaft motor, and several stirring rods are fixed to the rotating rods. A auger stirring blade is fixed to each of the stirring rods.

[0020] Optionally, the suspension device includes a disc and a ring. An L-shaped connecting rod is fixed between the ring and a support plate. The ring is sleeved on the disc. Several U-shaped frames are fixed between the disc and the ring. An annular groove is formed on the upper surface of the disc. Several arc-shaped blocks are slidably arranged in the annular groove. Each arc-shaped block is fixed with a support block. A motor is fixed on the support block. A gear is fixed on the output shaft of the motor. An annular groove is formed on the outer wall of the disc. An annular groove is formed on the inner wall of the ring. The two sides of the gear are respectively located in the annular groove and the annular groove. An internal gear ring that meshes with the gear is fixed in the annular groove. An electric push rod is fixed at the lower end of the gear. An electromagnet for adsorbing the upper mold is fixed on the piston rod of the electric push rod.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects are as follows:

[0022] Traditional cement pots are sturdy and durable, but they lack breathability and are quite heavy. By adding expanded clay and sand to the raw materials, we can reduce the weight of cement pots while maintaining their sturdiness and durability. During production testing, we tried adding various materials such as vermiculite, but the results were not as ideal as with expanded clay. A flowerpot of the same volume containing expanded clay weighs about 20% less. This significant weight reduction indirectly lowers transportation costs. The expanded clay in the material solves the problem of poor breathability in cement flowerpots.

[0023] Cement hardens naturally, saving energy such as coal and natural gas, reducing air pollution. From the start of production to the finished product, it only takes about 12 hours, while the current production time for ceramics is at least 168 hours. The production efficiency of finished products is increased by 14 times. It can replace plastic flower pots, avoid white pollution after the use of flower pots, protect the environment, and the service life of cement flower pots is more than 20 years. It is resistant to frost cracking and does not age.

[0024] The crushed ceramsite undergoes comprehensive sampling and testing to ensure its specifications and dimensions. This significantly reduces the gap between the ceramsite and cement after the flowerpot is formed, preventing the flowerpot from easily cracking or breaking.

[0025] Through the cooperation of conveying device, stirring device and suspension device, a fully automatic flower pot forming device is formed, which greatly reduces the time of flower pot production and greatly improves the efficiency of flower pot production. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0033] A process for manufacturing cement flower pots includes the following steps:

[0034] Step 1: Clean the upper and lower molds. After cleaning, place them in a drying oven to dry. After drying, refer to... Figure 3The suspension device 23 includes a disc 24 and a ring 25. An L-shaped connecting rod 26 is fixed between the ring 25 and a support plate 2. The ring 25 is sleeved on the disc 24. Several U-shaped frames 27 are fixed between the disc 24 and the ring 25. An annular groove 28 is formed on the upper surface of the disc 24. Several arc-shaped blocks 29 are slidably arranged in the annular groove 28. A support block 30 is fixed on each arc-shaped block 29. A motor 31 is fixed on the support block 30. A gear 32 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 31. An annular groove 33 is formed on the outer wall of the disc 24. An annular groove 34 is formed on the inner wall of the ring 25. The two sides of the gear 32 are respectively located in the annular groove 33 and the annular groove 34. A gear is fixed in the annular groove 34. The gear 32 meshes with the internal gear ring 35. An electric push rod 36 is fixed to the lower end of the gear 32. An electromagnet for attracting the upper mold is fixed on the piston rod of the electric push rod 36. When the electric push rod 36 is activated, the piston rod of the electric push rod 36 extends downward and drives the electromagnet to move downward until the electromagnet attracts the upper mold. Then, the motor 31 is activated. The output shaft of the motor 31 rotates and drives the gear 32 to rotate. Since the internal gear ring 35 is fixed and cannot rotate, the gear 32 will also move along the groove between the disc 24 and the ring 25 while rotating, until the next electric push rod 36 moves to the designated position. The above steps are repeated to lift the next upper mold by the next electric push rod 36.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 The conveying device 1 includes two support plates 2 and a conveyor belt 3. Conveying rollers are symmetrically rotated between the two support plates 2. A motor is fixed on one of the support plates 2. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to a conveyor roller. The two conveyor rollers are connected by the conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 has several placement openings 37 for placing the lower mold. A support platform 4 is fixed between the two support plates 2. The side of the support platform 4 near the mixing device 5 is inclined. The lower mold is placed on the placement opening 37. The conveyor belt 3 holds the lower mold. The motor is started. The output shaft of the motor rotates and drives the conveyor roller to rotate. The rotation of the conveyor roller drives the conveyor belt 3 to move. At this time, the required conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3 is relatively slow. During the conveying process of the conveyor belt 3, the lower molds are gradually placed on the placement openings 37 on the conveyor belt 3. The largest position on the upper surface of the lower mold is larger than the diameter of the placement opening 37. Therefore, the lower mold is placed back on the placement opening 37 so that the lower mold will not fall out of the placement opening 37.

[0036] Step 2: Pour the ceramsite into the crusher and crush it. The crusher will stop for one minute every five minutes. During the stop, manually sample the ceramsite for testing. The sampling method is to shovel the ceramsite into the crusher 20 times and take 10 pieces out of each shovel for diameter testing. If the size of the ceramsite reaches the specified standard, which is 3.5mm, it will not be crushed further. If the size of the ceramsite is still larger than 3.5mm, pour the ceramsite back into the crusher and continue to crush it.

[0037] Step 3: After the ceramsite is crushed, pour it into the storage container;

[0038] Step Four: Reference Figure 2 and 4 The mixing device 5 includes a mixing drum 6. Slide rails 7 are symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the mixing drum 6. A material discharge funnel is fixed to the lower surface of the slide rails 7. Slide doors 8 are symmetrically slidably arranged between the slide rails 7.

The ends of the rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 25 away from the fixing rod 13 are respectively hinged to the two slide doors 8. A second motor 16 is fixed to the upper end of the mixing drum 6. A cover plate 17 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 16. A support column 18 is fixed inside the mixing drum 6. A component is fixed inside the support column 18. A dual-shaft motor 19 has two output shafts, each with a rotating rod 20 fixed to it. Several stirring rods 21 are fixed to the rotating rods 20, and auger stirring blades 22 are fixed to the stirring rods 21. The initial mixing time is 11 minutes. Then, motor 16 is started, and its output shaft rotates, causing the cover plate 17 to open. Cement, sand, and ceramsite are poured into the mixing drum 6 in a ratio of 5:1.5:3.5. After pouring, motor 16 is restarted, and its output shaft rotates the cover plate 17 back to cover the mixing drum 6. Then, the dual-shaft motor 19 is started, and its output shaft rotates the rotating rods 20 on both sides. The rotating rods 20 rotate the several stirring rods 21, and the auger stirring blades 22 rotate with the stirring rods 21, achieving mixing of the raw materials.

[0039] Step 5: After the initial mixing is completed, add an appropriate amount of color powder according to the customer's and actual needs, and then use mixing device 5 to mix the cement, sand, ceramsite and color powder a second time. This second mixing time is 31 minutes.

[0040] Step Six: Reference Figure 3After the secondary mixing is completed, when the raw materials are mixed, the lower mold gradually moves to the bottom of the mixing drum 6. The cylinder 11 is activated, and the piston rod of the cylinder 11 extends to drive the rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 to rotate. The rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 drive the sliding doors 8 on both sides to slide open to the sides. After the sliding doors 8 slide open, the raw materials in the mixing drum 6 will fall into the lower mold along the material discharge funnel. After sufficient material is discharged, the lower mold continues to move towards the suspension device 23 under the drive of the conveyor belt 3. When the lower mold touches the support platform 4, the lower mold gradually rises until the position of the lower mold corresponds to the position of the upper mold. At this time, the lower mold is on the support platform 4. The electric push rod 36 on the upper side is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod 36 drives the upper mold to move to the lower mold until the upper mold presses against the lower mold. Then the electromagnet is de-energized, the electric push rod 36 is disengaged from the upper mold, and the conveyor belt 3 continues to drive the lower mold to move out.

[0041] Step 7: Finally, let it stand for 11 hours before demolding. Example

An electric push rod 36 is fixed to the lower end of the gear 32. An electromagnet for attracting the upper mold is fixed on the piston rod of the electric push rod 36. When the electric push rod 36 is activated, the piston rod of the electric push rod 36 extends downward and drives the electromagnet to move downward until the electromagnet attracts the upper mold. Then, the motor 31 is activated. The output shaft of the motor 31 rotates and drives the gear 32 to rotate. Since the internal gear ring 35 is fixed and cannot rotate, the gear 32 will also move along the groove between the disc 24 and the ring 25 while rotating, until the next electric push rod 36 moves to the designated position. The above steps are repeated to lift the next upper mold by the next electric push rod 36.

The conveyor belt 3 has several placement openings 37 for placing the lower mold. A support platform 4 is fixed between the two support plates 2. The side of the support platform 4 near the mixing device 5 is inclined. The lower mold is placed on the placement opening 37. The conveyor belt 3 holds the lower mold. The motor is started. The output shaft of the motor rotates and drives the conveyor roller to rotate. The rotation of the conveyor roller drives the conveyor belt 3 to move. At this time, the required conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3 is relatively slow. During the conveying process of the conveyor belt 3, the lower molds are gradually placed on the placement openings 37 on the conveyor belt 3. The largest position on the upper surface of the lower mold is larger than the diameter of the placement opening 37. Therefore, the lower mold is placed back on the placement opening 37 so that the lower mold will not fall out of the placement opening 37.

[0045] Step 2: Pour the ceramsite into the crusher and crush it. The crusher will stop for one minute every five minutes. During the stop, manually sample the ceramsite for testing. The sampling method is to shovel the ceramsite into the crusher 20 times and take 10 pieces out of each shovel for diameter testing. If the size of the ceramsite reaches the specified standard, which is a particle size of 4mm, it will not be crushed further. If the size of the ceramsite is still greater than 4mm, pour the ceramsite back into the crusher and continue to crush it.

[0046] Step 3: After the ceramsite is crushed, pour it into the storage container;

[0047] Step Four: Reference Figure 2 and 4The mixing device 5 includes a mixing drum 6. Slide rails 7 are symmetrically fixed to the lower end of the mixing drum 6.

Several stirring rods 21 are fixed to the rotating rods 20, and auger stirring blades 22 are fixed to the stirring rods 21. The initial mixing time is 13 minutes. Then, motor 16 is started, and its output shaft rotates, causing the cover plate 17 to open. Cement, sand, and ceramsite are poured into the mixing drum 6 in a ratio of 5:1.5:3.5. After pouring, motor 16 is turned back, and its output shaft rotates the cover plate 17 back to cover the mixing drum 6. Then, the dual-shaft motor 19 is started, and its output shaft rotates the rotating rods 20 on both sides. The rotating rods 20 rotate the several stirring rods 21, and the auger stirring blades 22 rotate with the stirring rods 21, achieving mixing of the raw materials.

[0048] Step 5: After the initial mixing is completed, add an appropriate amount of color powder according to the customer's and actual needs, and then use mixing device 5 to mix the cement, sand, ceramsite and color powder a second time. This second mixing time is 32 minutes.

[0049] Step Six: Reference Figure 3 After the secondary mixing is completed, when the raw materials are mixed, the lower mold gradually moves to the bottom of the mixing drum 6. The cylinder 11 is activated, and the piston rod of the cylinder 11 extends to drive the rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 to rotate. The rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 respectively drive the sliding doors 8 on both sides to slide open to the sides. After the sliding doors 8 slide open, the raw materials in the mixing drum 6 will fall into the lower mold along the material discharge funnel. After sufficient material is discharged, the lower mold continues to move towards the suspension device 23 under the drive of the conveyor belt 3. When the lower mold touches the support platform 4, the lower mold gradually rises until the position of the lower mold corresponds to the position of the upper mold. At this time, the lower mold is on the support platform 4. After the position of the lower mold corresponds to the position of the upper mold, the electric push rod 36 on the upper side is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod 36 drives the upper mold to move to the lower mold until the upper mold presses against the lower mold. Then the electromagnet is de-energized, the electric push rod 36 is disengaged from the upper mold, and the conveyor belt 3 continues to drive the lower mold to move out.

[0050] Step 7: Finally, let it stand for 12 hours before demolding. Example

When the electric push rod 36 is activated, the piston rod of the electric push rod 36 extends downward and drives the electromagnet to move downward until the electromagnet attracts the upper mold. Then, the motor 31 is activated. The output shaft of the motor 31 rotates and drives the gear 32 to rotate. Since the internal gear ring 35 is fixed and cannot rotate, the gear 32 will also move along the groove between the disc 24 and the ring 25 while rotating, until the next electric push rod 36 moves to the designated position. The above steps are repeated to lift the next upper mold by the next electric push rod 36.

The cylinder 11 is activated, and the piston rod of the cylinder 11 extends to drive the rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 to rotate. The rotating rod 14 and the rotating rod 15 respectively drive the sliding doors 8 on both sides to slide open to the sides. After the sliding doors 8 slide open, the raw materials in the mixing drum 6 will fall into the lower mold along the material discharge funnel. After sufficient material is discharged, the lower mold continues to move towards the suspension device 23 under the drive of the conveyor belt 3. When the lower mold touches the support platform 4, the lower mold gradually rises until the position of the lower mold corresponds to the position of the upper mold. At this time, the lower mold is on the support platform 4. After the position of the lower mold corresponds to the position of the upper mold, the electric push rod 36 on the upper side is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod 36 drives the upper mold to move to the lower mold until the upper mold presses against the lower mold. Then the electromagnet is de-energized, the electric push rod 36 is disengaged from the upper mold, and the conveyor belt 3 continues to drive the lower mold to move out.

[0059] Step 7: Finally, let it stand for 13 hours before demolding.
