[0058] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0059] 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 ports 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 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 with a simple structure and reasonable design, reduces labor costs, shortens the material turnover process, and improves production efficiency.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is an integrated device for manufacturing and installing ceramic cup handles, comprising: a cup handle positioning and conveying mechanism 100, a cup handle grouting and 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.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup handle positioning and conveying mechanism 100 includes a circular conveyor line 110 and a plurality of jigs 120 evenly distributed on the circular conveyor line 110. The circular conveyor line 110 is used to drive the plurality of jigs 120 to realize circular transportation and positioning. Figure 3As 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.

[0062] The circular conveyor line 110 of this embodiment adopts a synchronous belt type circular 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 circular conveyor line 110, so as to realize the circular conveyance of the cup handle between processes. The circular 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.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As 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 set 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, and two cup handles can be grout-molded at one time.

[0064] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the grouting molding mold components 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, and 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 move closer to and away from each other, realizing the closing and opening of the right mold 211 and the left mold 212, so as to realize the clamping 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 cup handle grouting molding cavity is formed between the right mold 211, the left mold 212 and the lower mold 130.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the three-part mold remains in the mold-closed state, mud is injected into the cup handle grouting molding cavity through 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 the 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. Two empty lower molds will be replenished and grouting will continue, and the cycle will continue.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup handle transplanting and installing mechanism 400 is provided at the transplanting and installing station. 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. Figure 6 As shown, the cup handle transplanting and installation mechanism 400 of the present invention includes a cup handle moving assembly 410 and at least one cup handle grabbing assembly 420. The cup handle moving assembly 410 is used to drive the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move, and the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 is used to grab the cup handle. The number of the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 is determined according to the number of the grouting molding mold parts 210. In this embodiment, two cup handle grabbing assemblies 420 are arranged. The cup handle moving assembly 410 drives the two cup handle grabbing assemblies 420 to move synchronously to realize the transplanting and installation of the two cup handles.

[0069] 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 next to 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 and dipped into the adhesive.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As 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.

[0071] During 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 the cup handle. After the right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are opened and demoulded, 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, and then, driven by 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, and the adhesive is dipped onto the cup handle. Finally, the cup handle is moved to the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600, and the cup handle is installed on the cup body.

[0072] The present invention integrates the production and installation processes of cup handles into one device, eliminating the material turnover and the labor originally required for production. It can automatically complete the entire process of cup handles from grouting molding, dryness control, adhesive bonding, to installation, effectively improving production efficiency. At the same time, automatic installation of cup handles can make the installation effect uniform, without being restricted by manual technology, saving the company's human capital, improving work efficiency, achieving rapid batch production, and unified product standards. It also has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable setting, and good matching with the factory's existing automatic rolling production line.

[0073] 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 jig 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 jig 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.

[0074] In this embodiment, two cup handle position adjustment mechanisms 700 are provided, which can adjust the two lower molds 130 at the same time.

[0075] 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 formed cup handle extends along the conveying direction of the circular conveyor line 110. 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 extends in a direction perpendicular to the circular conveyor line 110.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the lower mold 130 of this embodiment is connected with a vertically arranged transmission rod 131, and the lower mold 130 is rotatably connected to the jig 120 through the transmission rod 131, and the transmission rod 131 is slidably installed on the jig 120 up and down, and a rotation positioning structure 121 engaged with the lower mold 130 is provided on the top of the jig 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 jig 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 the 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.

[0077] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700 of this embodiment is located on the bottom side of the fixture 120. 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 and installation station, the first lifting drive component 720 of this embodiment drives the clamping joint 710 to move upward, and the clamping joint 710 is connected to the lower end of the transmission rod 131. The first rotary drive member 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 engaged with the rotation positioning structure 121 to fix the rotation of the lower mold 130, and then transported to the grouting molding station.

[0078] 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 that is clamped with the flat block structure. A limit ring 132 is provided on the outer periphery of the lower end of the transmission rod 131 of this embodiment, 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 limit ring 132. The spring enables the transmission rod 131 to maintain a tendency to move downward.

[0079] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotation positioning structure 121 is provided on the top surface of the jig 120 with two limiting posts 1211 spaced apart along the conveying direction of the annular conveyor line 110. The two limiting posts 1211 abut against the two end surfaces of the lower mold 130 to achieve a locking engagement with the lower mold 130. When the lower mold 130 moves upward and separates from the two limiting posts 1211, the lower mold 130 can rotate freely. In other embodiments, the rotation positioning structure 121 may adopt a positioning slot structure.

[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 5As 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, the 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 the high-pressure gas is injected into the grouting mold through the air-water flow channel 214. The mold is opened in cooperation with the opening and closing drive component, and the formed cup handle remains on the lower mold 130. 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 eliminate the process of cup handle trimming and effectively improve production efficiency.

[0081] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As 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.

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.

[0082] like Figure 9 As shown, the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 of this embodiment includes an adhesive container 510, a roller 520, a rotary drive structure 530, and a second lifting drive member 540. The outer periphery of the roller 520 is immersed in the adhesive in the adhesive container 510. The rotary drive structure 530 drives the roller 520 to rotate. The second lifting drive member 540 is used to drive the roller 520 up and down. The rotation of the roller 520 stirs the adhesive and adheres the adhesive to the surface of the roller 520. The cup handle is moved above the roller 520, and the bottom of the cup handle is dipped into the adhesive brought to the upper surface of the roller 520 by the rotation of the roller 520. The thickness of the adhesion is adjusted by adjusting the height of the roller 520, thereby controlling the amount of adhesive dipped into the cup handle each time.

[0083] In this embodiment, the rotation drive structure 530 adopts a belt drive structure, and the second lifting drive member 540 adopts a screw adjustment drive method. In some other embodiments, other forms of drive methods can be adopted.

[0084] Further, if Figure 6As shown, the cup handle moving assembly 410 of this embodiment includes a Y-axis moving module 411 and a Z-axis moving module 412. The Y-axis moving module 411 is used to drive the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move horizontally along the Y-axis, and the Z-axis moving module 412 is used to drive the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move vertically along the Z-axis. The transplanting and installation station, the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600 are arranged in sequence along the Y-axis. In this embodiment, the Y-axis moving module 411 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move between the transplanting and installation station, the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600, while the Z-axis moving module 412 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move upward along the Z-axis to achieve the grabbing of the cup handle, the dipping of the adhesive and the installation of the cup handle.

[0085] The cup handle grasping assembly 420 of this embodiment includes a cup handle grasping hand 421 and a second rotation driving member 422. The second rotation driving member 422 drives the cup handle grasping hand 421 to rotate around the X-axis. The cup handle grasping hand 421 is mainly used to grasp the cup handle, while the second rotation driving member 422 can change the posture of the cup handle so that the cup handle can be installed on the cup body and dipped into the adhesive in the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500.

[0086] The Y-axis moving module 411 of this embodiment includes a second slide 4111 and a synchronous belt drive structure 4112. The cup handle transplanting and mounting mechanism 400 also includes a main frame 430. The second slide 4111 is mounted on the main frame 430 for sliding along the Y-axis, and the synchronous belt drive structure 4112 drives the second slide 4111 to move back and forth. The Z-axis moving module 412 includes a third slide 4121 and a third lifting drive component 4122. The third slide 4121 is mounted on the second slide 4111 for sliding along the Z-axis. The third lifting drive component 4122 drives the third slide 4121 to move up and down reciprocally, and the second rotation drive component 422 is mounted on the third slide 4121. The cup handle grabber 421 is mounted on the rotation drive end of the second rotation drive component 422. In this embodiment, the third lifting drive component 4122 is a lifting cylinder, the second rotation drive component 422 is a rotation cylinder, and the cup handle grabber 421 is a clamping cylinder.

[0087] 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. There are two cup body positioning components 620 in this embodiment, which can position two cup bodies at the same time and complete the installation of two cup handles at one time.

[0088] like Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the cup body positioning assembly 620 includes two positioning clamps 621 arranged on both sides of the cup body conveyor line 610, and a cup body positioning drive structure that 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 clamp 621 is a V-shaped block, wherein the cup body conveyor line 610 is used to realize the incoming material transportation 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] like Figure 11 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing and installing a ceramic cup handle, which is applicable to an integrated device for manufacturing and installing a ceramic cup handle. The method for manufacturing and installing a ceramic cup handle includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S100: moving the jig 120 to the grouting molding station;

[0092] 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;

[0093] Step S300: High-pressure gas is injected into the cup handle slip molding cavity to form an isolation membrane between the clay blank and the wall of the cup handle slip molding cavity. The right mold 211 and the left mold 212 are then opened, and the formed cup handle remains on the lower mold 130.

[0094] Step S400: sending the cup handle into the cup handle drying mechanism 300 for drying;

[0095] Step S500: transporting the cup handle to the transplanting and installation station;

[0096] Step S600: removing the cup handle from the lower mold 130;

[0097] Step S700: Move the cup handle to the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 and apply adhesive to the cup handle;

[0098] Step S800: Install the cup handle onto the cup body positioned by the cup body conveying and positioning mechanism 600.

[0099] In step S100 , a group of two lower molds 130 are moved to the position directly below the cup handle injection molding mechanism 200 via the circular conveyor line 110 .

[0100] 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. After closing, the mud is injected into the grouting mold through the mud inlet 213 at high pressure to maintain the pressure.

[0101] In step S300, high-pressure gas is injected through the air-water flow channel 214 to form an isolation membrane between the clay and the mold, and then 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.

[0102] In step S400, after the cup handle is slurry-cast, 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.

[0103] In step S500, after the drying is completed, the cup is continuously conveyed by the circular conveyor line 110 to the top of the cup handle position adjustment mechanism 700. 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 engaged 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 return to its original position. Under the elastic force of the positioning elastic member 140, the lower mold 130 is engaged with the rotation positioning structure 121 to fix the rotation of the lower mold 130, and then the cup is conveyed to the slip casting molding station.

[0104] 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. The cup handle grabbing hand 421 clamps the cup handle, and the Z-axis moving module 412 drives the cup handle grabbing assembly 420 to move upward to remove the cup handle from the lower mold 130.

[0105] In step S700 , the Y-axis moving module 411 moves the cup handle to directly above the cup handle adhesive mechanism 500 . The Z-axis moving module 412 drives the cup handle gripping assembly 420 to move downward, allowing 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 .

[0106] 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.
