Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of building ceramics, in particular to a marble tile with imitation leaf and flower textures and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Marble tiles are popular among consumers because of their decorative effect of simulating natural marble and their superior physical and chemical properties. However, their surface effect is mainly glossy, which loses the texture of the concave and convex texture of the stone surface. When preparing marble tiles with fine leaf and flower textures, the marble tiles prepared by traditional steel molds have a stiff and unnatural concave and convex texture, making it difficult to achieve the natural texture details of leaves and flowers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for preparing marble tiles with imitation leaf and flower textures. Through the overall preparation steps and composite texture glaze, it can achieve a natural leaf and flower detail texture effect. The secondary purpose of the present invention is to propose a marble tile with imitation leaf and flower textures.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a method for preparing marble tiles with imitation leaf and flower textures.

[0005] S1, preparing a green body and applying a first glaze;

[0006] S2. Digitally print oil-based ink outside the outline of the leaf and flower pattern to obtain a first pattern layer, apply a second glaze on the brick, and form a digital micro-mold layer on the first pattern layer;

[0007] Inkjet printing a leaf and flower pattern to obtain a second pattern layer, and applying a flower glaze coloring on the second pattern layer; the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer can overlap with corresponding contours;

[0008] S3. Applying a textured glaze on at least the second pattern layer, wherein the raw materials of the textured glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 4-9% columnar olivine, 18-30% quartz, 14-20% borax, 12-16% albite, 4-8% limestone, 5-8% kaolin, 4-7% bauxite, 2-4% chalk, 3-7% mullite, and 7-12% dolomite;

[0009] S4. Put into kiln for firing.

[0010] The present invention forms a natural digital micro-mold layer in the first pattern layer by applying oil-based ink between the first glaze and the second glaze and utilizing the drainage property of the oil-based ink. The digital micro-mold layer refers to the surface of the blank having a texture effect of micron-level convex and concave. The first pattern layer and the second pattern layer overlap to form a natural overall contour; a textured glaze is applied on the second pattern layer to which the flower glaze is applied. The columnar olivine (columnar refers to the crystal structure) added to the textured glaze has bands and a glassy luster, and has different levels of color from green to yellow-green to brown-green. The added alumina-rich columnar stone is rose red, and the textured glaze as a whole is transparent with different levels of color from light green to yellow-green to rose color, which contributes to the natural coloring of the leaves, and the crystal structure is a collection of dispersed particles and columnar aggregates, which is conducive to the presentation of pattern detail texture. The composite textured glaze in the overall process step can achieve a layered pattern on the brick surface, with a natural overall contour and leaf and flower texture details, which can be clearly distinguished from the hard texture of the bright surface or the concave and convex texture formed by the steel mold in the prior art.

[0011] Specifically, the first and second glazes can be made of conventional water-based glazes for marble tiles that do not affect the drainage and texture formation of oil-based inks. In some preferred embodiments, the resulting marble tiles are polished and graded. Understandably, to preserve the natural texture of the tile surface, this solution employs a semi-polished finish. Specifically, the first and second glazes can be applied using known methods such as showering, spraying, and screen printing, depending on actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0012] Preferably, the flower glaze is printed by screen printing in S2, the tension of the screen is 15-18 N / m, the tension ratio of the screen to the flower glaze is 6.5-10:1, and the surface tension of the flower glaze is 1.8-2.3 N / m.

[0013] The tension of existing screens is usually in the range of 19 to 21 N / m. By limiting the lower tension of the screen, a certain tension ratio can be formed with the surface tension of the flower glaze. Combined with the textured glaze, the detailed texture of flowers and leaves can be formed on the second pattern layer, making the resulting marble tile texture more natural.

[0014] Further preferably, the flower glaze includes a first flower glaze, a second flower glaze, a third flower glaze and a fourth flower glaze in the order of screen printing.

[0015] The first flower glaze comprises, by weight, 100 to 105 parts of base glaze, 4.5 to 6 parts of jade green material, and 1.0 to 2.5 parts of praseodymium yellow;

[0016] The second flower glaze comprises, by weight, 100 to 105 parts of base glaze, 12 to 18 parts of grass green material, and 3.0 to 7.0 parts of praseodymium yellow;

[0017] The third flower glaze comprises, by weight, 100-105 parts of base glaze, 15-20 parts of wrapped red, 3.0-7.0 parts of praseodymium yellow and 0.5-2 parts of cobalt blue;

[0018] The fourth flower glaze comprises, by weight, 100 to 105 parts of base glaze, 9 to 12 parts of wrapped red, and 1.0 to 4.0 parts of praseodymium yellow;

[0019] The first flower glaze, the second flower glaze, the third flower glaze and the fourth flower glaze are all prepared with printing ink substances.

[0020] The basic glaze comprises the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 10-20% potassium feldspar, 15-25% sodium feldspar, 3-11% dolomite, 5-10% wollastonite, 2-5% barium sulfate, 2-6% zinc oxide, 15-20% transparent frit, 8-15% kaolin, 10-15% quartz, 3-5% calcined kaolin and 3-6% trigonal alumina.

[0021] Transparent frit is a common glass material in the industry, produced through high-temperature melting and exhibiting excellent light transmittance. Primarily composed of albite powder, calcined talc, barium carbonate, zinc oxide, calcite, and boric acid, it undergoes a specific preparation process, including hammering, ball milling, drying, screening, pressing, sintering, and quenching, resulting in a frit with excellent light transmittance.

[0022] The first and second flower glazes are used in conjunction with the screen with a certain tension difference to produce natural texture details inside leaves. The third and fourth flower glazes are used in conjunction with the screen with a certain tension difference to produce natural texture details of stamens.

[0023] Preferably, the second glaze is an opaque glaze, and the raw materials of the opaque glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 13-18% potassium feldspar, 10-20% sodium feldspar, 12-18% quartz, 3-7% ball clay, 9-15% calcined kaolin, 3-4% burned talc, 5-8% kaolin, 1.5-3.5% wollastonite, 7-15% zirconium silicate, 1-3% zinc oxide and 2-4% dolomite powder.

[0024] The second glaze is further preferably an opaque glaze under this component, which is beneficial to the color development of the overall pattern and the presentation of the texture; and after the overall process steps are combined with the textured glaze, it is beneficial to the sufficient oxidation exhaust reaction in the fired oxidation zone, ensuring the quality of the glaze and avoiding the occurrence of glaze defects.

[0025] More preferably, the specific gravity of the textured glaze is 1.55-1.60 g / ml, and the glaze application amount is 330-650 g / m 2The specific gravity of the opaque glaze is 1.40-1.48 g / ml, and the glaze application amount is 250-450 g / m2. The above specific gravity and glaze application amount are not only conducive to the application of the glaze cabinet, but also can maintain a good glaze decorative effect.

[0026] Further preferably, the oil-based ink includes a deep-cut ink and a matte ink, with the weight ratio of deep-cut ink to matte ink being 1:0.5-0.8. This solution utilizes existing oil-based matte ink and deep-cut ink in the ceramic field, limiting the oil-based ink to the deep-cut ink and matte ink in the above specific weight ratio. Utilizing the drainage properties of the oil-based ink, the protective glaze is peeled off according to the texture, providing a better mold effect. At the same time, at this weight ratio, the two are not completely cross-fused, so that the mold can simultaneously have a matte-gloss light perception change. Specifically, the grayscale value of the deep-cut ink and matte ink is 50-90, and the weight ratio between the deep-cut ink and matte ink is controlled by the grayscale value.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the textured glaze comprises the following components by weight: 8% columnar olivine, 28% quartz, 18% borax, 12% albite, 5% limestone, 6% kaolin, 5% bauxite, 3% chalk, 6% mullite, and 9% dolomite;

[0028] S2 uses screen printing to apply the glaze. The surface tension of the glaze is 2.0N / m, and the tension of the screen is 16N / m, with a screen-to-glaze tension ratio of approximately 8:1. The oil-based ink is a mixture of engraving ink and matte ink, with a weight ratio of 1:0.5.

[0029] The second glaze is an opaque glaze, and the raw materials of the opaque glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 15% potassium feldspar, 18% sodium feldspar, 17% quartz, 5% ball clay, 13% calcined kaolin, 3% burned talc, 7% kaolin, 3% wollastonite, 10% zirconium silicate, 3% zinc oxide and 4% dolomite powder.

[0030] In this solution, the performance of the marble tiles prepared by the composite overall step and the above-mentioned opaque glaze and textured glaze is optimized.

[0031] Preferably, in S5, the highest firing temperature is 1223°C and the firing period is 65 to 85 minutes. The above firing system is conducive to the stability of the quality of marble tiles.

[0032] The present invention also provides a marble tile, which is prepared by the preparation method of the marble tile with imitation leaf and flower textures in the above scheme. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0082] In S2, the glaze is applied by screen printing. The surface tension of the glaze is 1.8N / m, and the tension of the screen is 21N / m. Matte ink is used for oil-based ink.

[0083] The final product: the overall contour of the first pattern layer has a natural mold concave and convex texture, the second pattern layer has a crystalline structure texture, no detailed texture of the interior of leaves or stamens is produced, the glaze has many pores and depressions and no changes in light perception.

[0084] Example 3

[0085] The preparation method of marble tiles comprises the following preparation steps:

[0086] S1. Prepare a green body and apply a first glaze. The chemical composition of the first glaze is shown in Example 1.

[0087] S2. Digitally print oil-based ink outside the outline of the leaf and flower patterns to obtain a first pattern layer, spray a second glaze on the brick, and form a digital micro-mold layer on the first pattern layer;

[0088] Inkjet printing of leaf and flower patterns to obtain a second pattern layer, and applying flower glaze coloring on the second pattern layer; the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer can overlap corresponding contours;

[0089] The flower glaze includes a first flower glaze, a second flower glaze, a third flower glaze and a fourth flower glaze in the order of screen printing. The specific composition of the first flower glaze, the second flower glaze, the third flower glaze and the fourth flower glaze can be referred to Example 1.

[0090] S3. Applying textured glaze on the brick, the raw materials of the textured glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 8% columnar olivine, 28% quartz, 18% borax, 12% albite, 5% limestone, 6% kaolin, 5% bauxite, 3% chalk, 6% mullite and 9% dolomite.

[0091] The specific gravity of the textured glaze is 1.58g / ml and the glaze application amount is 500g / m 2 ;

[0092] S4. Put into kiln for firing, the maximum firing temperature is 1223℃, and the firing cycle is 65 to 85 minutes.

[0093] in:

[0094] The second glaze uses the same glaze as the first glaze, with a glaze density of 1.48g / ml and a glaze application amount of 300g / m2;

[0095] In S2, the glaze is applied by screen printing. The surface tension of the glaze is 2.1N / m, and the tension of the screen is 19N / m. The oil-based ink is a mixture of engraving ink and matte ink, and the weight ratio of engraving ink to matte ink is 1:1.

[0096] The final product: the overall contour of the first pattern layer has a natural mold concave and convex texture, the second pattern layer has a crystalline structure texture, no detailed texture of the interior of leaves or stamens is produced, the glaze has many pores and depressions and no changes in light perception.

[0097] It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 that the composite texture glaze basically achieves a layered pattern on the brick surface through the overall process steps, with a natural overall outline, and the crystalline structure texture covering the second pattern layer makes the texture details of leaves and flowers natural.

[0098] Due to the use of a conventional 19-21N / m tension screen, when combined with the floral glaze, no detailed texture on the inside of leaves or stamens is produced. Conventional surface glaze combined with textured glaze produces certain glaze surface defects such as pores and depressions. In addition, a single deep ink or matte ink, or a 1:1 mixture of deep ink and matte ink, produces a uniform and unchanging light sensation.

[0099] Example 4

[0100] The raw material composition, process steps and process parameters of the marble tiles are all referenced to Example 3. The glaze tension of Example 3 is 2.1 N / m. The difference lies in the tension of the screen.

[0101] The tension of the screen in the specific embodiment of Example 4 is shown in the table below.

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] Effect table

[0105]

[0106] From the comparison of Example 3 and Example 4-1 to Example 4-4, it can be seen that when textured glaze is used and a screen with a tension of 15 to 18 N / m is combined with the flower glaze, detailed textures of the interior of leaves and stamens are formed; when a conventional screen with a tension of 19 to 21 N / m is used in combination with the flower glaze, the screen tension is large, resulting in a tension ratio with the surface tension of the flower glaze that is too large, the screen has a large tensile stress when the mesh is removed, and the contact time with the flower glaze is too short, and the detailed textures of the interior of leaves and stamens cannot be formed; when the screen tension is 12 N / m, the screen tension is too low, resulting in a tension ratio with the surface tension of the flower glaze that is too small, the screen has a small tensile stress when the mesh is removed, and the contact time with the flower glaze is too long, the flower glaze will become a mass, and a clear and fixed texture cannot be formed, and the detailed textures of the interior of leaves and stamens cannot be formed. It can be seen that the screen tension needs to be maintained within an appropriate range. Through experiments similar to the present embodiment, it was found that when the screen tension is in the aforementioned range of 15 to 18 N / m, the screen to glaze tension ratio is 6.5 to 10:1, and the surface tension of the glaze is 1.8 to 2.3 N / m, combined with the textured glaze, the glaze surface forms natural textures of the interior of leaves and details of stamens.

[0107] Example 5

[0108] The raw material composition, process steps and process parameters of the marble tiles are all referred to Example 3, except that: the second glaze adopts an opaque glaze, and the raw materials of the opaque glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 15% potassium feldspar, 18% sodium feldspar, 17% quartz, 5% ball clay, 13% calcined kaolin, 3% burned talc, 7% kaolin, 3% wollastonite, 10% zirconium silicate, 3% zinc oxide and 4% dolomite powder.

[0109] The final product: the overall contour of the first pattern layer has a natural mold concave and convex texture, the second pattern layer has a crystalline structure texture, no detailed texture of the interior of leaves and stamens, no glaze defects and no changes in light perception.

[0110] From the comparison between Example 3 and Example 5, it can be seen that the use of opaque glaze can significantly improve the glaze quality of the product when combined with the textured glaze compared to the conventional glaze.

[0111] Example 6

[0112] The raw material composition, process steps and process parameters of the marble tiles are all referred to Example 3, except that oil-based inks with different weight ratios of deep ink:matte ink are used.

[0113] The weight ratio of deep ink:matte ink of the oil-based ink of Example 6 is shown in the table below.

[0114] Serial number Deep ink:matte ink weight ratio Example 6-1 1:0.1 Example 6-2 1:0.5 Example 6-3 1:0.8 Example 3 1:1

[0115] Effect table

[0116]

[0117] By comparing Example 3 with Examples 6-1 to 6-3, it can be seen that when the weight ratio of engraving ink:matte ink is 1:0.5-0.8, the obtained product forms a better mold concave and convex texture effect in the digital micro-mold layer, and there is a matte-gloss light perception change. When the weight ratio of engraving ink:matte ink is 1:0.1, the engraving ink content is too high and the matte ink content is too little, and no light perception change can be formed; when the weight ratio of engraving ink:matte ink is 1:1, the contents of engraving and matte ink are close, and the cross-fusion reaction of the two is obvious, and the light perception formed is uniform and there is no light perception change. It can be seen that in order to achieve the matte-gloss light perception change, the weight ratio of engraving ink:matte ink needs to be kept in an appropriate range.

[0118] Example 7

[0119] The preparation method of marble tiles comprises the following preparation steps:

[0120] S1. Prepare a green body and apply a first glaze. The chemical composition of the first glaze is shown in Example 1.

[0121] S2. Digitally print oil-based ink outside the outline of the leaf and flower patterns to obtain a first pattern layer, spray a second glaze on the brick, and form a digital micro-mold layer on the first pattern layer;

[0122] Inkjet printing of leaf and flower patterns to obtain a second pattern layer, and applying flower glaze coloring on the second pattern layer; the first pattern layer and the second pattern layer can overlap corresponding contours;

[0123] The flower glaze includes a first flower glaze, a second flower glaze, a third flower glaze and a fourth flower glaze in the order of screen printing. The specific composition of the first flower glaze, the second flower glaze, the third flower glaze and the fourth flower glaze can be referred to Example 1.

[0124] S3. Applying textured glaze on the brick, the raw materials of the textured glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 8% columnar olivine, 28% quartz, 18% borax, 12% albite, 5% limestone, 6% kaolin, 5% bauxite, 3% chalk, 6% mullite and 9% dolomite.

[0125] The specific gravity of the textured glaze is 1.58g / ml and the glaze application amount is 500g / m 2 ;

[0126] S4. Put into kiln for firing, the maximum firing temperature is 1223℃, and the firing cycle is 65 to 85 minutes.

[0127] The second glaze uses an opalescent glaze with a specific gravity of 1.48g / ml and a glaze application amount of 300g / m2; the raw materials of the opalescent glaze include the following components in weight percentage: 15% potassium feldspar, 18% sodium feldspar, 17% quartz, 5% ball clay, 13% calcined kaolin, 3% burned talc, 7% kaolin, 3% wollastonite, 10% zirconium silicate, 3% zinc oxide and 4% dolomite powder.

[0128] The S2 uses screen printing to apply the glaze. The glaze has a surface tension of 2.0 N / m, while the screen tension is 16 N / m, resulting in a screen-to-glaze tension ratio of approximately 8:1. The oil-based ink is a mixture of engraving ink and matte ink, with a weight ratio of 1:0.5.

[0129] The final product obtained: the mold concave-convex texture of the overall contour of the first pattern layer is natural, the second pattern layer has a crystalline structure texture, and has detailed textures of the interior of leaves and stamens, without glaze defects and changes in bright matte feel. Example 7 is the most preferred example.

[0130] Comparative Example 1

[0131] The raw material composition, process steps and process parameters of the marble tiles are all referred to Example 3, except that: conventional transparent glaze is used instead of textured glaze in S3, and the raw materials or chemical composition of the conventional transparent glaze include, by mass percentage / mass fraction: quartz 28%, borax 12%, albite 15%, limestone 5%, kaolin 12%, bauxite 5%, chalk 3%, potassium feldspar 15% and dolomite 5%.

[0132] The final product: the overall outline of the first pattern layer has a natural mold concave and convex texture, the second pattern layer has no crystalline structure texture, no detailed texture of the interior of leaves and stamens, the glaze surface has many depressions and no changes in light perception.

[0133] Comparative Example 2

[0134] The preparation method of marble tiles comprises the following preparation steps:

[0135] S1. A green body is prepared using a steel mold, and a first glaze is applied. The chemical composition of the first glaze is as described in Example 1.

[0136] S2. Inkjet printing conventional water-based ink to obtain the overall outline and flower and leaf patterns, and applying a flower glaze on the flower and leaf patterns by screen printing. The specific flower glaze tension, screen tension, and screen-to-flower glaze tension ratio refer to Example 3.

[0137] S3, applying textured glaze on the brick, specifically referring to S3 in Example 3;

[0138] S4, firing in a kiln, specifically referring to S4 in Example 3.

[0139] The final product: the overall outline of the first pattern layer has a hard concave and convex texture of the mold, the second pattern layer has a crystalline structure texture, which produces detailed textures inside the leaves and stamens, and the glaze surface has many depressions and no changes in light perception.

[0140] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the use of conventional transparent glaze is not helpful for the presentation of detailed textures, while the prior art uses steel molds and conventional aqueous inkjet printing, and the resulting mold has a stiff concave-convex texture on the overall contour. Both fail to achieve the rich layering of the brick surface pattern in Example 3, with a natural overall contour and leaf and flower texture details. It can be seen that the overall process steps and texture glaze of this application are indispensable.

All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
