Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic processing, and in particular to a ceramic blank surface treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic blank trimming is an important process in the ceramic production process. Its main purpose is to remove the unevenness, excess parts or defects on the edges of the ceramic objects after molding, making their appearance more regular and beautiful, and preparing for subsequent decoration and firing.

[0003] Since some tiny ceramic dust or particles will be generated during the trimming process of the ceramic blank, it is usually necessary to manually wipe the surface of the ceramic blank with a sponge to avoid defects during subsequent processing or firing. However, in the mass production process of ceramic products, each ceramic blank needs to be manually wiped with a handheld sponge after trimming, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low work efficiency; moreover, when the sponge is wiping the surface of the ceramic blank, the ceramic dust or particles remaining on the surface of the ceramic blank will adhere to the surface of the sponge. With the continuous use of the sponge, the ceramic dust or particles adhered to the surface of the sponge may leave scratches on the surface of the ceramic blank, thereby causing defects in the ceramic blank during the subsequent firing process, affecting the production quality of ceramic products.

[0031] Initially, a certain amount of water is contained in the water storage cylinder 31; first, the device is installed at a designated position so that the trimmed cup can be conveyed to the conveyor 2, and then the cup is intermittently conveyed forward by the conveyor 2; when the cup moves to just below the connecting frame 23, the conveyor 2 stops conveying the cup, and at this time, the controller 20 can control the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 22 to extend, so as to drive the connecting frame 23 and the air bag 24 to move downward and extend into the cup, and then the controller 20 can control the air pump 25 to inject a proper amount of air into the air bag 24 through the connecting pipe I 26, the spring pipe 29 and the connecting pipe II 30, so that the air bag 24 expands and tightens the inner wall of the cup, and then the controller 20 can control the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 22 to shorten, so as to drive the connecting frame 23 And the airbag 24 moves upward, the airbag 24 can drive the cup to move upward and separate from the conveyor 2; then the controller 20 can control the mechanical arm 3 to drive the sponge cover 8 to move close to the outer surface of the cup, and at the same time the controller 20 can control the driving motor 13 to drive the driving gear 14 to rotate, the driving gear 14 can drive the driven gear ring 15 and the rotating sleeve 6 to rotate, and the rotating sleeve 6 can drive the conical cover 7 and the sponge cover 8 to rotate; at the same time the controller 20 can control the rotor pump 18 to rotate forward, and can extract the air inside the conveying pipe 16, that is, the air inside the conical cover 7 can be extracted through the fixed pipe 5 and the suction pipe 11, so that the conical cover 7 is formed with negative pressure, and the sponge cover 8 is a porous structure, so it can generate suction around the sponge cover 8, when the sponge cover 8 moves to contact with the surface of the cup , the sponge cover 8 can rotate to wipe the surface of the cup, and the ceramic dust or particles on the surface of the cup will be embedded in the sponge cover 8 due to the suction force, thereby preventing the ceramic dust or particles from leaving scratches on the surface of the cup, and the robot arm 3 can control the sponge cover 8 to move accurately along the right half of the cup to wipe. Since the sponge cover 8 is tapered as a whole, even if there is a handle on the side of the cup, the left end of the sponge cover 8 can well wipe the connection between the cup and its handle and the inner wall of the handle. Then, the controller 20 controls the servo motor 21 to drive the electric push rod 22 to rotate 180 degrees, which can drive the cup to rotate 180 degrees, so that the robot arm 3 can control the sponge cover 8 to wipe the other half of the cup; when the cup is wiped, the controller 20 can control the electric push rod 22 to rotate 180 degrees. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod 22 is extended to drive the connecting frame 23 and the airbag 24 to move downward, and the wiped cup is placed back on the top surface of the conveyor 2. Then the controller 20 can control the electric control air release valve 27 to open for 2 seconds, so that the air in the airbag 24 can be discharged outward through the connecting pipe I 26, the spring pipe 29 and the connecting pipe II 30, and the airbag 24 will shrink and separate from the inner wall of the cup. After 2 seconds, the controller 20 can control the electric control air release valve 27 to close, and then the controller 20 can control the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 22 to shorten, so as to drive the connecting frame 23 and the airbag 24 to move upward and separate from the cup; and the wiped cup can be transported forward to the next processing step through the conveyor 2, and the conveyor 2 can also transport the next cup to the bottom of the connecting frame 23;The robot arm 3 can control the sponge sleeve 8 to be inserted into the guide frame 34, and the controller 20 controls the rotor pump 18 to reverse, and the rotor pump 18 can transport the water in the water storage cylinder 31 to the fixed pipe 5 through the delivery pipe 16. Under the action of the one-way valve 12, the water in the fixed pipe 5 will not enter the suction pipe 11, and the water in the fixed pipe 5 will flow into the connecting cover 10 through the curved pipe 9 and be sprayed out through the connecting cover 10. The conical cover 7 and the sponge sleeve 8 are continuously rotating, and the water sprayed from the connecting cover 10 can flush the sponge sleeve 8 through the conical cover 7, thereby flushing out the ceramic dust or particles embedded in the sponge sleeve 8, so that the ceramic dust or particles and water all fall down to the placement cylinder 32, and then the controller 20 controls the rotor pump 18 to rotate forward, and the connecting cover 10 stops spraying water, so that the sponge sleeve 8 can wipe the next cup; the ceramic dust or particles in the placement cylinder 32 will settle under the guide frame 34. As the water in the placement cylinder 32 increases, the water in the placement cylinder 32 will surge upward through the gap between it and the guide frame 34, and finally can be filtered by the filter plate 33 and return to the water storage cylinder 31, avoiding the waste of water resources; when a certain amount of ceramic dust or particles is deposited in the placement cylinder 32, the handle 35 can be manually turned upward to take out the placement cylinder 32, which is convenient for manual unified treatment of the ceramic dust or particles in the placement cylinder 32. ;

[0032] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
