Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of eco-stone production equipment technology, and in particular to a dry-process fabrication equipment for eco-stone that mimics natural stone throughout. Background Technology
[0002] Eco-stone is a new type of ceramic tile product made by pressing and curing powdered materials, resulting in a surface with the effect of natural stone. Eco-stone retains the noble and elegant qualities of natural stone while overcoming the defects commonly found in natural stone, such as pores, cracks, color differences, and radioactivity. It has quickly become a popular high-end environmentally friendly decorative material internationally.
[0003] With the continuous development of society and the economy, people have increasingly higher requirements for the natural-looking effects and textures of eco-stone products. Current eco-stone preparation technology typically involves first preparing the required powder, then using a material distribution system to distribute the powder in a mold as needed, and finally pressing and curing it to form the eco-stone. Existing eco-stone material distribution systems usually include a feeding device, a stirring rod, and a pushing rod. The feeding device delivers powder of different colors or particle sizes into the feeding device, where multiple different powders are mixed. Rotating the stirring rod creates different mixed textures, and the pushing rod further agitates the powder to achieve variable and special textures. Because existing material distribution systems primarily control the feeding speed of the feeding device and create textures by rotating the stirring and pushing rods, the resulting eco-stone often only produces continuous linear textures such as diagonal or wavy patterns, making it difficult to create natural-looking patchy patterns. This results in eco-stone that doesn't closely resemble the texture of natural stone, leading to a relatively poor natural-looking effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dry-process fabrication equipment for ecological stone that imitates natural stone throughout. By using the dry-process fabrication equipment of this invention, the surface of the resulting ecological stone can form a natural, irregular patch pattern throughout, and the material layers form crack patterns to imitate the crack patterns in the texture of natural stone, thus achieving the effect of imitating natural stone throughout.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] Furthermore, one or more of the fabric units are provided with a spraying mechanism at their discharge ends. The spraying mechanism is used to spray water or colored slurry into the mold carried by the mold conveying device.
[0016] Furthermore, the large texture pressing mechanism includes a lifting frame and a lifting drive component. The lifting drive component is installed on the side of the mold conveying device, the lifting frame is located above the mold conveying device, and the driving end of the lifting drive component is connected to the lifting frame.
[0017] The bottom of the lifting frame has several pressure cutters arranged in a staggered pattern, and the pressure cutters are flat.
[0018] Furthermore, the spiral cutter includes a rotating shaft and multiple circular blades, with the multiple circular blades spaced apart and fitted onto the rotating shaft;
[0019] Connectors are provided on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft, and mounting parts that cooperate with the connectors are provided on the left and right sides of the pressure block belt.
[0020] The upper part of the mounting part is provided with a guide groove, and the left and right ends of the rotating shaft pass through the two connecting pieces respectively and are located inside the corresponding guide grooves;
[0021] The connector has a mounting plate arranged laterally on the side closer to the mounting part. The spiral cutter also includes an adjusting bolt. The top of the adjusting bolt is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the bottom of the adjusting bolt is adjustablely mounted on the mounting part.
[0022] Furthermore, the fabric unit also includes several first adjustment mechanisms, and the two sides of the discharge belt can be adjusted and installed on both sides of the frame through the first adjustment mechanisms;
[0023] The first adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment screw and a first locking element. One end of the first adjustment screw is fixedly installed on the frame, and the other end of the first adjustment screw is connected to the discharge belt.

[0032] 3. When the spraying mechanism sprays water or colored slurry, it is used to moisten the surface of the material layer inside the mold, thereby increasing the adhesion between the various layers in the mold.

[0045] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6This invention describes an eco-friendly dry-laying equipment for creating a fully natural stone-like material, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0046] A dry-process fabrication equipment for ecological stone that imitates natural stone throughout includes a frame 1 and a mold conveying device 2. The frame 1 is installed above the mold conveying device 2. Above the conveying direction of the mold conveying device 2, a main material fabrication mechanism, a large texture pressing mechanism 4, and a fabric fabrication mechanism are arranged in sequence. The mold conveying device is used to carry the mold through the main material fabrication mechanism, the large texture pressing mechanism 4, and the fabric fabrication mechanism in sequence. The mold conveying device 2 carries the mold back and forth multiple times in the main material fabrication mechanism.
[0047] Both the main material fabrication mechanism and the fabric fabrication mechanism include several fabric units 3, and multiple fabric units 3 are arranged side by side on the frame 1;
[0048] The fabric unit 3 includes several fabric hoppers 31, several discharge belts 32, a collection belt 33, a collection hopper 34, a briquetting device 35, a briquetting belt 36, a spiral cutter, and a fabric toothed plate.
[0049] Several cloth hoppers 31 are arranged side by side on the frame 1, and a discharge belt 32 is provided below the discharge port of each cloth hopper 31. Several discharge belts 32 are respectively arranged above the collection belt 33.
[0050] The collecting hopper 34 is located below the collecting belt 33, and the feeding port of the collecting hopper 34 corresponds to the end of the collecting belt 33 in the conveying direction. The briquetting belt 36 is located below the collecting hopper 34, and the briquetting device 35 is installed above the briquetting belt 36. The briquetting device 35 is used to pre-press the mixed powder on the briquetting belt 36 into blocks.
[0051] A spiral cutter 37 is provided above the end of the conveying direction of the briquetting belt 36. The spiral cutter 37 is used to cut the block-shaped mixed powder into strips. A fabric toothed plate 38 is connected to the end of the conveying direction of the briquetting belt 36. The cut strip-shaped powder falls into the mold through the fabric toothed plate 38.
[0052] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an eco-friendly stone dry-process material laying device that imitates natural stone throughout. The device uses irregular small blocks of material to lay the main material and the surface material to achieve the effect of color blocks that imitate natural stone throughout. Furthermore, the material layers form crack patterns to imitate the crack patterns in the texture layers of natural stone, thus achieving the effect of imitating natural stone throughout.
[0053] First, in the main material feeding mechanism and the fabric feeding mechanism, each sub-feeding device contains powder of multiple colors. These powders are spread and mixed to a certain extent on the collecting belt 33, resulting in pressed blocks with diverse color combinations and irregularly sized color areas. As the blocks pass through the feeding toothed plate 38, they are cut and dispersed into smaller blocks by gravity. These smaller blocks fall randomly into the mold, and may be further broken into even smaller, irregular particles as they fall. Multiple sub-feeding devices feed material sequentially inside the mold, layering the small blocks to create a textured effect reminiscent of natural stone. Furthermore, the irregular shapes and sizes of the small blocks, along with their color combinations, result in different shapes, color combinations, and sizes of color blocks within each layer, achieving an effect similar to granite or marble. Understandably, when small blocks of material are laid in the mold, they are in an inclined or horizontal state. Multiple layers of small blocks will have an overlapping effect, and the cut surface of the eco-stone can still show color patches, giving the eco-stone a better simulation effect.
[0054] Between the main material fabrication mechanism and the surface fabrication mechanism is a large-texture pressing and breaking mechanism 4. This mechanism creates fracture lines in the main material layer, breaking small pieces of material to form groove-like textures. The surface layer covers these groove-like textures, but due to the small amount of surface material used, it cannot completely cover them. Ultimately, the surface of the eco-stone forms a fracture-like texture, further enhancing its simulation effect. It is understandable that fracture lines are common in natural stone; this invention allows the eco-stone to mimic these natural fracture lines, further improving the simulation effect. Moreover, the fracture lines in this invention are formed using the large-texture pressing and breaking mechanism 4, allowing the fracture lines to penetrate deep into the interior of the eco-stone, ensuring the cut surface still maintains a good simulation effect.
[0055] Furthermore, the conveying speed of the aggregate conveyor belt 33 affects the thickness of the material layer on the briquetting belt 36, and the conveying speed of the briquetting belt 36 affects the feeding speed and shape of the small blocks. The conveying speed of the die conveyor belt affects the density of the small blocks laid in the die. Therefore, by adjusting the conveying speeds of the aggregate conveyor belt 33, the briquetting belt 36, and the die conveyor belt, the feeding quantity and density can be adjusted.
[0056] Furthermore, the fabric toothed plate 38 is provided with a plurality of teeth 381 connected in sequence on the side near the conveying device, and the plurality of teeth 381 are different in size and shape;
[0057] The teeth 381 are smoothly connected to each other, and the spacing between adjacent teeth 381 is different. The teeth 381 are arc-shaped or corner-shaped.
[0058] Understandably, the pressing force of the pressing plate on the briquetting device 35 is relatively small, only enough to make the powder into lumps and maintain a certain shape during its fall. Therefore, based on the cutting effect of the circular blade 372 and the dispersing effect of the cloth toothed plate 38, the lumps can be dispersed into irregular small lumps. Moreover, based on the diversity of the teeth 381 of the cloth toothed plate 38, the shape and size of the small lumps are more diverse, which is beneficial to improving the simulation effect of the eco-stone.
[0059] Specifically, in this technical solution, each tooth 381 on the fabric toothed plate 38 is different in size and shape. Some teeth 381 are longer, some are shorter, some are wider, and some are narrower. This allows the cut strips of powder to be dispersed irregularly, forming small pieces of varying sizes and shapes. These pieces are then dispersed irregularly in the mold, thereby increasing the randomness and irregularity of the pattern in the product and making the overall effect more natural.
[0060] Furthermore, the main material spreading mechanism and / or the fabric spreading mechanism also include a powder-sprinkling component 5, which is located between two adjacent spreading units 3. The powder-sprinkling component 5 has a discharge screen 51 at its outlet. The dry powder sprinkled by the powder-sprinkling component 5 falls into the mold. Due to the uneven surface of the material layer inside the mold, some small pieces are tilted, causing the powder to slide on the surface and accumulate at the edges of some small pieces, forming a wrapping texture. This simulates the color accumulation at the edges of large color spots in natural stone, further improving the simulation effect. Specifically, the discharge screen 51 is equipped with a vibrator to facilitate the powder falling into the mold.
[0061] Furthermore, one or more of the fabric units 3 are equipped with a spraying mechanism 6 at their discharge ends. The spraying mechanism 6 is used to spray water or colored slurry into the mold carried by the mold conveying device 2. Specifically, the spraying mechanism 6 includes a spraying pipe, which is installed above the mold conveying device and has several nozzles installed on it to evenly spread water or colored slurry into the mold.
[0062] When the spraying mechanism 6 sprays water, it increases the adhesion between the various layers in the mold. When the spraying mechanism 6 sprays colored slurry, it not only increases the adhesion between the various layers in the mold but also enhances the decorative effect on the surface of the eco-stone. Preferably, the spraying mechanism 6 for spraying colored slurry is located at the downstream end of the main material spreading mechanism and / or the downstream end of the fabric spreading mechanism. It is understood that the raw materials for the colored slurry include cement, pigments, and water.
[0063] Furthermore, the large texture pressing mechanism 4 includes a lifting frame 41 and a lifting drive component 42. The lifting drive component 42 is installed on the side of the mold conveying device 2, the lifting frame 41 is located above the mold conveying device 2, and the driving end of the lifting drive component 42 is connected to the lifting frame 41.
[0064] The bottom of the lifting frame 41 has a plurality of pressure-breaking blades 43 arranged in an alternating pattern, and the pressure-breaking blades 43 are flat.
[0065] Understandably, the cracks in natural stone are usually straight. Therefore, the cutting blade in the large-texture cracking mechanism 4 of this invention is flat to form straight cracks. The cracks need to penetrate a certain depth into the eco-stone to achieve a better simulation effect on the top and cross-section of the eco-stone. Therefore, in this invention, the depth to which the cutting blade penetrates the material layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the material layer. Specifically, the lifting drive component 42 is a cylinder, and each of the four corners of the lifting frame 41 is equipped with a cylinder. The four cylinders synchronously drive the lifting drive component 42 to rise and fall.
[0066] Further explanation: the pressing device 35 includes a drive cylinder 351 and a pressing plate 352. The drive cylinder 351 is connected to the frame 1, and the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 351 is connected to the pressing plate 352.
[0067] Specifically, the briquetting device 35 of this technical solution includes a drive cylinder 351 and a pressure plate 352. The pressure plate 352 is horizontally positioned above the briquetting belt 36. One end of the drive cylinder 351 is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the telescopic end of the drive cylinder 351 is connected to the pressure plate 352. When the telescopic end of the drive cylinder extends outward, it drives the pressure plate 352 to press downward, pre-pressing the mixed powder into blocks. After pressing, the telescopic end of the drive cylinder retracts inward, completing the pressing process, and the mixed powder is pressed into blocks. This technical solution adjusts the pressure of the pressure plate on the mixed powder by changing the extension speed of the extension end of the drive cylinder. The pressure can be adjusted according to the desired pattern effect. For example, when a smaller patchy pattern is desired, the extension speed of the drive cylinder can be reduced, resulting in less pressure from the pressure plate 352 on the mixed powder. This reduces the density of the pressed blocky powder, making it easier to disperse when fed through the cloth-feeding toothed plate 38, forming smaller blocks. The resulting ecological stone product will have a smaller patchy pattern, or even just small spots. Similarly, increasing the extension speed of the drive cylinder increases the pressure of the pressure plate on the mixed powder. This results in a denser, more compact blocky powder that is less easily dispersed. After being cut by the spiral cutter 37 and fed through the cloth-feeding toothed plate 38, larger blocks will be formed, leading to a larger patchy pattern on the surface of the final ecological stone product.
[0068] Furthermore, other conventional methods in the art can also be used to adjust the pressure of the pressure plate 352 when pressing the mixed powder.
[0069] Further explanation: the spiral cutter 37 includes a rotating shaft 371 and a plurality of circular blades 372, the plurality of circular blades 372 being spaced apart and sleeved on the rotating shaft 371;
[0070] The rotating shaft 371 is provided with connectors 373 on its left and right sides respectively, and the pressure block belt 36 is provided with mounting parts 361 on its left and right sides respectively, which cooperate with the connectors 373. The connectors 373 can be installed on the mounting parts 361 in an adjustable manner.
[0071] Specifically, in this technical solution, the spiral cutter 37 is equipped with a rotating shaft 371 and circular blades 372. The circular blades 372 are spaced apart from the rotating shaft 371. By rotating the spiral cutter 37, the rotating circular blades 372 can cut the blocky mixed powder. Since there is a certain gap between two adjacent circular blades 372, the blocky mixed powder can be cut into strips. In this technical solution, by changing the distance between two adjacent circular blades 372, the size of the strip-shaped powder obtained after cutting can be further adjusted.
[0072] It is worth noting that, through the cooperation of the connector 373 and the mounting part 361, the spiral cutter 37 can be installed above the briquetting belt 36 in an adjustable manner to reach the required cutting height, thereby enabling better cutting of flaky mixed powder.
[0073] It is worth noting that in this technical solution, a motor is used to drive the spiral cutter 37 to rotate, thereby cutting the blocky powder.
[0074] To further explain, the upper part of the mounting part 361 is provided with a guide groove 3611, and the left and right ends of the rotating shaft 371 pass through the two connecting members 373 respectively and are located inside the corresponding guide groove 3611.
[0075] The top of the connector 373 is laterally provided with a mounting plate on the side closer to the mounting part 361. The spiral cutter 37 also includes an adjusting bolt 374. The top of the adjusting bolt 374 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the bottom of the adjusting bolt 374 is adjustablely mounted on the mounting part 361.
[0076] It is worth noting that, based on the top of the adjusting bolt 374 being fixedly connected to the mounting plate in this technical solution, the bottom of the adjusting bolt 374 is adjustablely mounted on the top of the mounting part 361. By rotating the bolt, the connecting piece 373 can be moved up and down. Based on the fixed connection between the rotating shaft 371 and the connecting piece 373, the rotating shaft 371 can be moved up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the spiral cutter 37. Simultaneously, a connecting bolt can be provided on the connecting piece 373. The connecting bolt is horizontally positioned, with one end fixedly connected to the connecting piece 373 and the other end horizontally passing through the mounting part 361. After adjusting the height of the spiral cutter 37, a lock nut is used to fix the position of the connecting bolt, thereby more securely mounting the spiral cutter 37 above the pressure block belt 36.
[0077] To further explain, the fabric toothed plate 38 has a plurality of teeth 381 connected in sequence on the side near the conveying device 2, and the plurality of teeth 381 are different in size and shape.
[0078] It is worth noting that the size and shape of each tooth 381 on the fabric toothed plate 38 of this technical solution are different. Some teeth are longer and some are shorter, some teeth 381 are wider and some are narrower. This allows the cut strip-shaped powder to be irregularly dispersed, forming small pieces of varying sizes and shapes. These pieces are then irregularly dispersed in the mold, thereby enhancing the randomness and irregularity of the pattern in the product and making the overall surface effect more natural.
[0079] Further explanation: a recess is provided between two adjacent teeth 381, and the teeth 381 and the recess are smoothly transitioned. The spacing between adjacent teeth 381 in the plurality of teeth 381 is different, and the teeth 381 are arc-shaped or corner-shaped.
[0080] It is worth noting that this technical solution uses teeth 381 and recesses, and makes the spacing between teeth 381 and the shape of teeth 381 different, so that the powder can be distributed in the mold in an irregular state with different shapes and sizes, thus making the resulting ecological stone product present a more natural imitation natural patch pattern.
[0081] Further explanation: the fabric unit 3 also includes several first adjustment mechanisms 391, and the two sides of the discharge belt 32 can be adjusted and installed on both sides of the frame 1 through the first adjustment mechanisms 391;
[0082] The first adjustment mechanism 391 includes a first adjustment screw and a first locking member. One end of the first adjustment screw is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the other end of the first adjustment screw is connected to the discharge belt 32. The first adjustment screw is arranged vertically, and the first adjustment mechanism 391 is used to adjust the installation height of the discharge belt 32.
[0083] It is worth noting that this technical solution uses a discharge belt 32 to transport single-color powder or single-function powder to a collection belt 33. The collection belt 33, through its cyclical rotation, stacks and mixes multiple single-color powders or single-function powders, then conveys the preliminarily mixed powder to a collection hopper 34 for further mixing. To ensure that the powder in the discharge belt 32 falls completely into the collection belt 33, the alignment height between the discharge belt 32 and the collection belt 33 needs to be controlled. If the gap between the discharge belt 32 and the collection belt 33 is too large, the powder in the discharge belt 32 may splash to other places during the fall, resulting in powder waste and affecting equipment operation. If the gap between the discharge belt 32 and the collection belt 33 is too small, it will hinder the powder from falling into the collection belt 33, potentially causing operational difficulties for both belts. Therefore, it is necessary to control the alignment height between the discharge belt 32 and the collection belt 33. This technical solution sets up a first adjustment mechanism 391, which includes a first adjustment screw and a first locking member. The discharge belt 32 can move along the height direction of the first adjustment screw, thereby adjusting the installation height of the discharge belt 32. After the height of the discharge belt 32 is adjusted, the first locking member is used to fix the position of the discharge belt 32, thereby fixing the discharge belt 32 on the frame 1.
[0084] Preferably, the first locking element is a locking nut.
[0085] Further explanation: the fabric unit 3 also includes several second adjustment mechanisms 392. The two sides of the collecting belt 33 are adjustablely installed on both sides of the frame 1 through the second adjustment mechanisms 392, and the collecting belt 33 is located below the discharge belt 32. The second adjustment mechanism 392 is used to adjust the installation height of the collecting belt 33.
[0086] The second adjustment mechanism 392 includes a second adjustment screw and a second locking member. One end of the second adjustment screw is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The two sides of the material collection belt 33 are respectively provided with connecting parts that cooperate with the second adjustment screw. The other end of the second adjustment screw is connected to the connecting part of the material collection belt 33.

[0092] The discharge positions of the three discharge belts 32 correspond to the receiving positions of the collection belts 33, so that the three single-color powders are stacked on the collection belts 33.
[0093] (like Figure 4-6(As shown) When the fabric unit 3 is in operation, from the left view, the collecting belt 33 rotates counterclockwise from right to left. At this time, the discharge belt 32 at the front end of the conveying direction of the collecting belt 33 rotates counterclockwise from right to left, causing the single-color powder A in the discharge belt 32 to fall onto the collecting belt 33. Then, the discharge belt 32 in the middle rotates clockwise from left to right, causing the single-color powder B in the middle discharge belt 32 to fall onto the collecting belt 33, and the single-color powder B is stacked on top of the single-color powder A. Then, the discharge belt 32 at the end of the conveying direction of the collecting belt 33 rotates clockwise from left to right, causing the single-color powder C in the discharge belt 32 to fall onto the collecting belt 33, and the single-color powder C is stacked on top of the single-color powder B, so that the three single-color powders are stacked and mixed together to form a more colorful mixed powder.
[0094] To further explain, the discharge belt 32, the collection belt 33, and the briquetting belt 36 are all belt conveyors.
[0095] It is worth noting that in this technical solution, the discharge belt 32, the collecting belt 33, and the briquetting belt 36 are all driven by motors.
