Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic production technology, and in particular relates to a ceramic surface outlining mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Household ceramics primarily serve practical functions, but to enhance their appearance, they are often coated with paint. Sometimes, even a few simple outlines can significantly improve the visual appeal. With advancements in ceramic production technology, the methods for outlining ceramic products have become increasingly diverse. Traditional hand-outlining techniques are still used, while modern printing-style processes are also common. However, for small-batch trial production, traditional manual methods are inefficient, while modern printing methods are too costly. Therefore, semi-automated equipment is needed for outlining ceramic products in the small-batch research and development stage. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a ceramic outline tracing mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:
[0005] A ceramic outline tracing mechanism includes a base, a rocking section, and an actuator. The rocking section is hinged to the top of the base, and the actuator is mounted on the rocking section.
[0006] The base section includes a base plate, ear plates, columns, upper round rods, upper blocks, upper crossbars, and overlapping plates. The base plate has an ear plate at its right front corner, and a column on the ear plate. An upper round rod extends from the top of the column, and an upper block is hinged to the upper round rod. An upper crossbar extends laterally from the upper block, and an overlapping plate is at the end of the upper crossbar. The overlapping plate has a hinge hole at its bottom and a positioning hole in its center. The swaying section includes a rotating joint, a lower block, and a lower crossbar. The rotating joint overlaps the overlapping plate. The upper part of the rotating joint is a sector-shaped plate with a rotating hole at its center. The rotating hole and the hinge hole are hinged together. The swaying section rotates around the rotating hole on the overlapping plate. The sector-shaped plate also has an arc groove, the position of which corresponds to the positioning hole. When the sector-shaped plate rotates to a certain position, bolts are used in the positioning hole to press and position the sector-shaped plate, locking the angle of the swaying section. The bottom of the rotating joint has a lower round rod, and a lower block is hinged to the lower round rod. A lower crossbar extends laterally from the lower block. The actuator includes a vertical rod, a spring, a telescopic rod, and a paintbrush. The upper part of the vertical rod has a square hole through which it is slidably mounted on the lower horizontal rod. The lower part of the vertical rod is hollow, and the telescopic rod is fitted inside the vertical rod. The paintbrush is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod and is used to outline the surface of the pottery.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the upper round rod has threads, and a nut is installed on the threads, which acts to press the upper block together.
[0008] Furthermore, a plug is installed at the outer end of the lower crossbar, and a spring is installed between the vertical bar and the plug.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the vertical rod has a clamping hole, and screws are installed in the clamping hole to clamp the telescopic rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the telescopic rod has a latch, in which the paintbrush is fixed.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0012] This invention relates to the outlining operation of ceramic products. It can perform horizontal circular outlining, which is relatively conventional. More uniquely, it can achieve inclined arc outlining through angle adjustment. Of course, when performing inclined outlining, the vertical rod 31 must be held at all times to maintain contact between the brush and the ceramic product. This mechanism can greatly improve the outlining operation of ceramic products, enhance the stability of manual outlining, and significantly reduce costs for large-scale printing operations.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
[0018] See Figures 1-3 The Taopi appearance outlining mechanism shown includes a base part 10, a swing part 20 and an execution part 30. The swing part 20 is hinged to the top of the base part 10 and the execution part 30 is mounted on the swing part 20.
[0019] The base section 10 includes a base plate 11, an ear plate 12, a column 13, an upper round rod 14, an upper block 15, an upper crossbar 16, and an overlapping plate 17. The base plate 11 has an ear plate 12 at its right front corner, and the ear plate 12 has a column 13. The upper round rod 14 extends from the top of the column 13, and the upper block 15 is hinged to the upper round rod 14. The upper crossbar 16 extends laterally from the upper block 15, and the upper crossbar 16 has an overlapping plate 17 at its end. The overlapping plate 17 has a hinge hole 171 at its bottom and a positioning hole 172 in its middle. The top of the upper round rod 14 has threads, and a nut 18 is installed on the threads. The nut 18 presses against the upper block 15.
[0020] The swing section 20 includes a rotating section 21, a lower block 22, a lower crossbar 23, and a plug 24. The rotating section 21 overlaps the overlapping plate 17. The upper part of the rotating section 21 is a sector plate 211. The center of the sector plate 211 has a rotating hole 212. The rotating hole 212 is hinged to the hinge hole 171. The swing section 20 rotates around the rotating hole 212 on the overlapping plate 17. The sector plate 211 also has an arc groove 213. The position of the arc groove 213 corresponds to the positioning hole 172. When the sector plate 211 rotates to a certain position, the sector plate 211 is pressed and positioned in the positioning hole 172 with bolts to lock the angle of the swing section 20. The bottom of the rotating section 21 has a lower round rod 214. The lower block 22 is hinged to the lower round rod 214. The lower crossbar 23 extends from the side of the lower block 22. The plug 24 is installed at the outer end of the lower crossbar 23.
[0021] The actuator 30 includes a vertical rod 31, a spring 32, a telescopic rod 33, and a paintbrush 34. The upper part of the vertical rod 31 has a square hole 311, through which the vertical rod 31 is slidably mounted on the lower horizontal rod 23. The spring 32 is installed between the vertical rod 31 and the plug 24. The lower part of the vertical rod 31 has a hollow structure, and the telescopic rod 33 is fitted inside the vertical rod 31. The lower end of the vertical rod 31 has a clamping hole 312, on which a screw is installed to clamp the telescopic rod 33. The paintbrush 34 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 33, and the paintbrush 34 is used to outline the surface of the ceramic. The bottom of the telescopic rod 33 has a latch 331, in which the paintbrush 34 is fixed.
[0022] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, complete the installation of the entire device according to the attached drawings and instructions. Loosen the nut 18, rotate the swing part 20 and the actuator 30 to the outside of the base plate 11, place the clay to be outlined on the base plate 11, and then rotate the swing part 20 and the actuator 30 to the top of the clay. Tighten the nut 18 to lock the position of the swing part 20. Of course, when rotating the swing part 20 and the actuator 30 back to their original positions, the vertical rod 31 needs to be manually pulled outward to ensure that the brush 34 does not touch the clay prematurely. Then, operate the vertical rod 31 to make the brush 34 contact the clay with appropriate force, and then operate the lower horizontal rod 23 to rotate one revolution to complete the outline on the clay. Of course, this operation can also be performed by adding a turntable on the base plate 11 to rotate the clay to complete the outline operation.
[0023] More importantly, if a tilted outlining operation needs to be performed on the ceramic piece, the rotating joint 21 is operated to rotate the actuator 30 to the required angle, and the rotating joint 21 is tightened with bolts to fix the angle. At this time, the lower crossbar 23 rotates one revolution to complete the tilted outlining operation.
[0024] Of course, it is important to note that the length of the overlapping plate 17 needs to be considered to ensure that the lower crossbar 23 does not interfere with the upper crossbar 16 during the entire rotation process.
[0025] The above embodiments primarily illustrate the ceramic outline mechanism of the present invention. Although only a limited number of embodiments and technical features have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can be implemented in many other forms without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the illustrated embodiments are considered illustrative rather than limiting, and the present invention may cover various modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
