[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0021] At present, the production of ceramic cup handles requires manual operation. The traditional grouting method takes a long time to form. The produced cup handles have grouting holes and need to be manually trimmed before they can be used for installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The installation process of the cup handles also needs to be completed manually. When the cup handles are manually installed on the cup body, the position is prone to deviation, affecting the quality of the product. There is a distance between the grouting equipment of the cup handle and the rolling equipment of the cup body. The cup handle needs to be circulated between the equipment, which takes time and affects the production efficiency. Therefore, the present invention proposes an integrated equipment for the production and installation of ceramic cup handles, which combines the production and installation processes of ceramic cup handles, and has a simple structure and reasonable design, which reduces labor costs, shortens the material turnover process, and improves production efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated equipment for manufacturing and installing ceramic cup handles of the present invention comprises: a cup handle positioning and conveying mechanism 100, a cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200, a cup handle drying mechanism 300, a cup handle transplanting and installing mechanism 400, a cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and a cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600.

[0023] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup handle positioning and conveying mechanism 100 includes a circular conveying line 110 and a plurality of jigs 120 evenly distributed on the circular conveying line 110. The circular conveying line 110 is used to drive the plurality of jigs 120 to realize circular transportation and positioning. Figure 3 As shown, the jig 120 of this embodiment is provided with a lower mold 130, which is used to be combined with the cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200 to form a cup handle grouting molding cavity, and also serves the function of carrying and conveying the molded cup handle. It can be understood that the lower mold 130 is not only used for grouting molding, but also for conveying the molded cup handle.

[0024] The annular conveyor line 110 of the present embodiment adopts a synchronous belt type annular conveyor line 110, which can accurately control the position accuracy of the conveyance, and fix the lower mold 130 for positioning the cup handle on the annular conveyor line 110, so as to realize the circular conveyance of the cup handle between the processes. The annular conveyor line 110 is provided with a grouting molding station, a drying station and a transplanting and installation station in sequence along the conveying direction.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200 is arranged at the grouting molding station, and the cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200 is used to realize the grouting molding of the cup handle. The cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200 of the present invention includes at least one grouting molding clamping component 210. In some other embodiments, a plurality of grouting molding clamping components 210 can be arranged according to production needs, and a plurality of cup handles can be formed at one time by a plurality of grouting molding clamping components 210. The plurality of grouting molding clamping components 210 are arranged in sequence along the annular conveyor line 110, and the spacing between the plurality of grouting molding clamping components 210 is equal to the spacing between the plurality of jigs 120. In this embodiment, two grouting molding clamping components 210 are arranged in sequence along the annular conveyor line 110. Two grouting molding clamping components 210 can be grouting molded at one time.

[0026] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the grouting molding mold parts include a right mold 211, a left mold 212 and an opening and closing drive assembly, wherein the right mold 211, the left mold 212 and the lower mold 130 are combined to form a grouting mold, the grouting mold is made of porous resin, and the structure is divided into three parts, left, right and lower. The left mold 212 and the right mold 211 of this embodiment are relatively arranged on the left and right sides of the lower mold 130, and the opening and closing drive assembly is used to drive the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 to approach and move away from each other, realize the closing and opening of the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, so as to realize the mold closing and demolding of the grouting mold. When the lower mold 130 is transported and positioned between the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, the opening and closing drive assembly drives the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 to close. At this time, the lower mold 130 is clamped between the bottom of the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, and the right mold 211, the left mold 212 and the lower mold 130 form a cup handle grouting molding cavity.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the three-part mold is kept in the mold-closed state, mud is injected into the cup handle grouting molding cavity by ultra-high pressure to form the cup handle, and then high-pressure gas is injected to open the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 at the same time to complete demolding. After demolding, the completed cup handle will remain in the lower mold 130 and be sent to the next process by the circular conveyor line 110, and two empty lower molds will be replenished to continue grouting, and the cycle will be repeated in sequence.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup handle drying mechanism 300 of this embodiment is arranged at the drying station. The cup handle drying mechanism 300 is used to dry the formed cup handle. The cup handle drying mechanism 300 can be connected to the waste heat of the automatic drying line, or can use electric heating to provide heat for the cup handle drying mechanism 300. The cup handle drying mechanism 300 of this embodiment uses a combination of electric thermocouple and blower to control the drying temperature to remain within a certain range.

[0029] The cup handle drying mechanism 300 of this embodiment includes a drying box, which is provided with a drying inlet and a drying outlet, and the annular conveyor line 110 passes through the drying box.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup handle transplanting and installing mechanism 400 is arranged at the transplanting and installing station, and the cup handle transplanting and installing mechanism 400 is used to remove the dried cup handle from the lower mold 130 and move it to the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the cup handle transplanting and installation mechanism 400 of the present invention includes a cup handle moving component 410 and at least one cup handle grabbing component 420. The cup handle moving component 410 is used to drive the cup handle grabbing component 420 to move. The cup handle grabbing component 420 is used to grab the cup handle. The number of the cup handle grabbing components 420 depends on the number of the grouting molding mold parts 210. In this embodiment, two cup handle grabbing components 420 are arranged. The cup handle moving component 410 drives the two cup handle grabbing components 420 to move synchronously to realize the transplanting and installation of the two cup handles.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, considering that the cup handle needs to be reinforced with adhesive when it is installed on the cup body, in this embodiment, the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 is arranged beside the cup handle transplanting and installing mechanism 400. The cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 is used to dip the adhesive onto the cup handle. After the dried cup handle is removed from the lower mold 130, it is grabbed into the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 to allow the cup handle to be dipped into the adhesive.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600 is arranged beside the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500, and the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600 is used to position the cup body so that the cup handle can be installed and fixed.

[0033] When in use, multiple jigs 120 are cyclically transported to the grouting molding station, the drying station and the transplanting and installation station through the circular conveyor line 110. In the grouting molding station, the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are closed to form a cup handle grouting molding cavity with the lower mold 130, and mud is injected into the cup handle grouting molding cavity to form a cup handle. After the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are opened and demolded, the cup handle is left on the lower mold 130 and is transported to the drying station with the lower mold 130. The cup handle is dried by the cup handle drying mechanism 300. Thereafter, under the drive of the cup handle moving component 410, the cup handle is removed from the lower mold 130 by the cup handle grabbing component 420, and the cup handle is moved to the adhesive mechanism to dip the adhesive onto the cup handle. Finally, the cup handle is moved to the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600 to install the cup handle on the cup body.

[0034] The present invention integrates the production and installation processes of the cup handle into one device, eliminating the material turnover and the labor originally required for production, and can automatically complete the entire process of the cup handle from grouting molding, dryness control, adhesive, to installation, effectively improving production efficiency. At the same time, automatic installation of the cup handle can make the installation effect uniform, is not limited by manual technology, saves the company's human capital, improves work efficiency, achieves rapid batch production, and has unified product standards. It has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable setting, and can better match the factory's existing automatic rolling production line.

[0035] This embodiment takes into account that the directions of the cup handle when it is formed and when it is transplanted and installed may be inconsistent. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment further includes at least one cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 located at the transplanting and installation station, and the lower mold 130 of this embodiment is rotatably installed on the top of the fixture 120 around a vertical axis. The cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 is used to drive the lower mold 130 to rotate relative to the fixture 120 to change the position and posture of the cup handle to ensure that the cup handle is dipped into the adhesive in the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and is accurately installed on the cup body.

[0036] In this embodiment, two cup handle position adjustment mechanisms 700 are provided, which can adjust two lower molds 130 at the same time.

[0037] It can be understood that, in the grouting molding station, the left mold 212 and the right mold 211 are located on both sides of the circular conveyor line 110, so that the molded cup handle extends along the conveying direction of the circular conveyor line 110, and when the cup handle is transported to the transplanting and installation station, the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 is used to drive the lower mold 130 to rotate, so that the cup handle rotates 90 degrees, and the cup handle extends in a direction perpendicular to the circular conveyor line 110.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, a vertically arranged transmission rod 131 is connected to the bottom of the lower mold 130 of this embodiment, and the lower mold 130 is rotatably connected to the fixture 120 through the transmission rod 131, and the transmission rod 131 is slidably installed on the fixture 120 up and down, and a rotation positioning structure 121 engaged with the lower mold 130 is provided on the top of the fixture 120. The rotation positioning structure 121 is used to lock the rotation of the lower mold 130 to ensure the accuracy of mold clamping, and a positioning elastic member 140 is provided between the transmission rod 131 and the fixture 120. The positioning elastic member 140 provides an elastic force for the transmission rod 131 to reset downward, so that the lower mold 130 and the rotation positioning structure are locked. The structure 121 is engaged to lock the rotation of the lower mold 130. It can be understood that the lower mold 130 has two rotation positions, one of which is the molding position and the other is the transplanting installation position. In a natural state, when the lower mold 130 is in the molding position, the lower mold 130 is engaged with the rotation positioning structure 121, and the rotation of the lower mold 130 is locked by the engagement of the rotation positioning structure 121. When the lower mold 130 needs to be switched to the transplanting installation position, the transmission rod 131 is pushed upward to separate the lower mold 130 from the rotation positioning structure 121, and then the transmission rod 131 is rotated to rotate the lower mold 130 to the transplanting installation position.

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 of this embodiment is located at the bottom side of the fixture 120, and the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 includes a clamping joint 710 for clamping with the lower end of the transmission rod 131, a first lifting drive component 720 for driving the clamping joint 710 to rise and fall, and a first rotating drive component 730 for driving the clamping joint 710 to rotate around a vertical axis. When the fixture 120 is transported to the transplanting installation station, the first lifting drive component 720 of this embodiment drives the clamping joint 710 to move upward, and the clamping joint 710 and the lower end of the transmission rod 131 are connected. The lower mold 130 is connected by the clamping member 710 to separate from the rotating positioning structure 121, and then the first rotating driving member 730 drives the clamping member 710 to rotate, thereby driving the lower mold 130 to rotate to the transplanting installation position to achieve a 90-degree rotation positioning of the lower mold 130. When the cup handle is removed by the cup handle grabbing assembly 420, the transmission rod 131 drives the lower mold 130 to reset, and under the elastic force of the positioning elastic member 140, the lower mold 130 is engaged with the rotating positioning structure 121 to fix the rotation of the lower mold 130, and then transported to the grouting molding station.

[0040] The lower end of the transmission rod 131 of this embodiment is a flat block structure, and the clamping joint 710 is provided with a clamping groove structure clamped with the flat block structure. The outer periphery of the lower end of the transmission rod 131 of this embodiment is provided with a limiting ring 132, and the fixture 120 is provided with a rotating bearing 122. The transmission rod 131 is installed on the rotating bearing 122 in a through-type manner, and the positioning elastic member 140 is a spring. The spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the transmission rod 131, and the upper end of the spring abuts against the lower end of the rotating bearing 122, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the limiting ring 132. The spring enables the transmission rod 131 to maintain a tendency to move downward.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotation positioning structure 121 is provided with two limiting posts 1211 on the top surface of the fixture 120, and the two limiting posts 1211 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the annular conveyor line 110, and the two limiting posts 1211 abut against the two end surfaces of the lower mold 130 to realize the locking of the lower mold 130, and when the lower mold 130 moves upward and separates from the two limiting posts 1211, the lower mold 130 can realize free rotation. In some other embodiments, the rotation positioning structure 121 can adopt a positioning groove structure.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the left mold 212 and the right mold 211 are both provided with a mud inlet 213 and an air-water flow channel 214. In this embodiment, mud can be injected into the cup handle grouting molding cavity through the mud inlet 213 by pressure to form the cup handle by grouting, and then high-pressure gas is injected into the grouting mold through the air-water flow channel 214, and the mold is opened in cooperation with the opening and closing drive component. The formed cup handle remains on the lower mold 130, and finally water is injected into the grouting mold through the air-water flow channel 214 for cleaning. After the lower group of lower molds 130 is in place, the mold is re-closed and grouting is performed, and this cycle is repeated. This embodiment adopts ultra-high pressure grouting and a new mold structure, which can save the process of cup handle trimming and effectively improve production efficiency.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the cup handle grouting molding mechanism 200 of this embodiment also includes a molding frame 220, and the left mold 212 and the right mold 211 are slidably installed on the molding frame 220 to improve the stability of the opening and closing of the left mold 212 and the right mold 211. The molding frame 220 of this embodiment is provided with a first slide rail 221, and the left mold 212 and the right mold 211 are respectively slidably matched with the first slide rail 221 through the first slide seat 222, and the opening and closing drive assembly includes a left opening and closing drive member 230 connected to the left mold 212 and a right opening and closing drive member 240 connected to the right mold 211. In this embodiment, the left mold 212 and the right mold 211 are respectively driven to move by the left opening and closing drive member 230 and the right opening and closing drive member 240 to realize the opening and closing action. The left opening and closing drive member 230 and the right opening and closing drive member 240 are linear cylinders.

[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 of this embodiment includes an adhesive container 510, a roller 520, a rotation drive structure 530 and a second lifting drive member 540. The outer peripheral portion of the roller 520 is immersed in the adhesive in the adhesive container 510, the rotation drive structure 530 drives the roller 520 to rotate, and the second lifting drive member 540 is used to drive the roller 520 to move up and down.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600 of this embodiment includes a cup body conveying line 610 and at least one cup body positioning component 620 arranged on the cup body conveying line 610. In this embodiment, two cup body positioning components 620 are provided, which can position two cup bodies at the same time and complete the installation of two cup handles at one time.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the cup body positioning assembly 620 includes two positioning clamps 621 which are relatively arranged on both sides of the cup body conveyor line 610, and a cup body positioning drive structure which drives the two positioning clamps 621 to move closer to and away from each other. In this embodiment, the positioning of the cup body is achieved by clamping the two positioning clamps 621, wherein the positioning clamps 621 are V-shaped blocks, wherein the cup body conveyor line 610 is used to realize the incoming material conveyance of the cup body, and the cup body conveyor line 610 can be a blank feeding belt of a rolling automatic line, which directly completes the positioning of the cup body before installing the cup handle, realizes docking with the rolling automatic line, and reduces the transportation process of the cup body and the cup handle.

[0051] The cup body positioning drive structure of this embodiment uses two cup body positioning cylinders 622 to respectively drive the two positioning clamps 621 to move.

[0052] like Fig.11As shown, the present invention also provides a method for making and installing a ceramic cup handle, which is applicable to an integrated device for making and installing a ceramic cup handle. The method for making and installing a ceramic cup handle comprises the following steps: Step S100: moving the jig 120 to a grouting molding station; Step S200: closing the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, injecting the slurry into the cup handle grouting molding cavity under high pressure, and maintaining the pressure; Step S300: injecting high pressure gas into the cup handle grouting molding cavity to form an isolation membrane between the clay blank and the wall of the cup handle grouting molding cavity, then opening the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, and the formed cup handle remains on the lower mold 130; Step S400: sending the cup handle into the cup handle drying mechanism 300 for drying; Step S500: transporting the cup handle to the transplanting and installation station; Step S600: removing the cup handle from the lower mold 130; Step S700: Move the cup handle to the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and dip the adhesive onto the cup handle; Step S800: Install the cup handle onto the cup body positioned by the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600.

[0053] In step S100 , a group of lower molds 130 , two in a group, are moved to the position directly below the cup handle injection molding mechanism 200 via the circular conveyor line 110 .

[0054] In step S200, after detecting that the lower mold 130 is in place, the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are controlled to close, and after closing, the mud is injected into the grouting mold through the mud inlet 213 with high pressure to maintain the pressure.

[0055] In step S300, high-pressure gas is injected through the air-water flow channel 214, and after an isolation membrane is formed between the clay and the mold, the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are controlled to open. At this time, the formed cup handle will remain in the lower mold 130. After the mold is opened, high-pressure water is injected through the air-water flow channel 214 for cleaning, in preparation for the next grouting.

[0056] In step S400, after the cup handle is injection-molded, it is sent together with the lower mold 130 by the circular conveyor line 110 to the cup handle drying mechanism 300 for drying. The moisture content of the cup handle before installation is controlled to be close to the moisture content of the cup body. The temperature of the drying box is controlled by a combination of a thermocouple and a blower.

[0057] In step S500, after the drying is completed, the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 is sent to the upper part by the circular conveyor line 110. After the lower mold 130 is detected to be in place, the first lifting drive component 720 drives the clamping joint 710 to move upward, and the clamping joint 710 is clamped with the lower end of the transmission rod 131 to drive the lower mold 130 to separate from the rotation positioning structure 121. Then, the first rotation drive component 730 drives the clamping joint 710 to rotate, thereby driving the lower mold 130 to rotate to the transplant installation position to achieve 90-degree rotation positioning of the lower mold 130. When the cup handle is removed by the cup handle grabbing assembly 420, the transmission rod 131 drives the lower mold 130 to reset. Under the elastic force of the positioning elastic member 140, the lower mold 130 is clamped with the rotation positioning structure 121 to fix the rotation of the lower mold 130, and then it is transported to the grouting molding station. In step S600, after the lower mold 130 is rotated into position, the Y-axis moving module 411 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move to the top of the lower mold 130, and the Z-axis moving module 412 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move downward, and moves the cup handle grabbing hand 421 to the cup handle position, and the cup handle grabbing hand 421 clamps the cup handle, and drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move upward through the Z-axis moving module 412 to remove the cup handle from the lower mold 130.

[0058] In step S700, the cup handle is moved to the top of the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 by the Y-axis moving module 411, and the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 is driven downward by the Z-axis moving module 412 to allow the bottom of the cup handle to be dipped into the adhesive brought to the upper surface of the roller 520 by the rotation of the roller 520.

[0059] In step S800, the Z-axis moving module 412 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move upward, and drives the cup handle grabbing hand 421 to rotate through the second rotating driving component 422, so that the cup handle rotates 90 degrees, and the Y-axis moving module 411 moves the cup handle to the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600, and installs the cup handle on the cup body positioned by the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600.
