Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of manufacturing silicon nitride ceramic green bodies, and particularly relates to a preforming device and a forming method for manufacturing silicon nitride ceramic green bodies. Background Art
[0002] Silicon nitride ceramics are inorganic material ceramics that do not shrink during sintering. Silicon nitride has high strength. In particular, hot-pressed silicon nitride is one of the hardest substances in the world and has properties such as high strength, low density, and high temperature resistance.
[0003] Block pressing is a method for manufacturing silicon nitride ceramic green bodies. Generally, silicon nitride ceramic raw materials are added to a stamping die, and the silicon nitride powder is pressed into blocks and then sintered into silicon nitride ceramics. In the actual operation process, the efficiency of single-station stamping to manufacture silicon nitride ceramic green bodies is relatively low. After stamping and forming, the silicon nitride ceramic green body needs to be manually removed from the stamping table, and the degree of automation is relatively low. Moreover, both feeding and removing the formed silicon nitride ceramic green body need to be operated on the stamping equipment, which is prone to safety hazards. Therefore, we propose a preforming device and a forming method for manufacturing silicon nitride ceramic green bodies, which use a two-station switching method for block pressing. The feeding does not need to be close to the block pressing forming equipment, and the formed silicon nitride ceramic green body is automatically pushed out of the block pressing platform, with relatively high safety and improved forming efficiency of the silicon nitride ceramic green body.

[0006] A preforming method for manufacturing a silicon nitride ceramic green body. The steps of the preforming method are as follows:
[0007] Step 1: Add silicon nitride ceramic raw materials into the inner cavity of the outer forming die. Then, the motor works to drive the cam plate to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees. The pin on the cam plate causes the inclined push arm to rotate. Due to the fixed bottom plate of the bottom inclined push arm, the cam plate, the motor, and the lifting plate slide upward on the surface of the slide rail due to the sliding sleeve. The top inclined push arm pushes the activity cylinder to move upward in the inner cavity of the fixing plate. The activity cylinder drives the shaft rod, the rotating drive assembly, the rotating plate, and the forming die assembly to move upward until the forming die assembly moves above the pushing plate;
[0008] Step 2: Then, motor 1 drives gear 2 to rotate, drives the threaded rod to rotate through gear 3. The threaded sleeve moves under the guidance of the thread and the guide rod, and then drives the rack to move. The rack drives gear 1 and the shaft rod to rotate 180 degrees. The shaft rod drives the rotating plate to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the forming die assembly filled with silicon nitride ceramic raw materials enters the inner side and is located directly below the upper pressure head, and the forming die assembly without silicon nitride ceramic raw materials is located on the outer side;
[0009] Step 3: At this time, the motor drives the cam plate to rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees. Through the cooperation of the shaft pin and the inclined push arm, the lifting plate drives the sliding sleeve to slide downward on the surface of the slide rail, and further makes the movable cylinder, the shaft rod, the rotation drive assembly, the rotating plate and the molding die assembly move downward, so that the rotating plate falls above the second bracket and is located between the side fixed plate and the slope plate. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder works to drive the upper pressure head into the inner cavity of the molding die to press the silicon nitride ceramic raw material into a block, and then the hydraulic cylinder drives the upper pressure head to move upward and reset.
[0010] Step 4: At this time, the first cylinder drives the ejector plate to move upward. When the ejector plate extends into the inner cavity of the molding die, it pushes the die bottom plate upward to eject the molded silicon nitride ceramic raw material out of the inner cavity of the molding die. At this time, the die bottom plate drives the movable rod and the connecting plate to move upward and squeeze the spring. Then the second cylinder drives the push plate to move, and ejects the molded silicon nitride ceramic raw material onto the slope plate and discharges it through the guidance of the slope plate. The first cylinder drives the ejector plate to retract. At this time, the restoring force of the spring makes the connecting plate and the movable rod move downward, and the movable rod drives the die bottom plate to move downward to the bottom of the inner cavity of the molding die for reset. At this time, a quantitative amount of silicon nitride ceramic raw material is loaded into the inner cavity of the outer molding die, and according to the above operations, the briquetting operation is continued.

[0015] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the front side of the lifting plate. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly installed with a cam plate. Both ends of the front side of the cam plate are fixedly connected with shaft pins. The surface of the shaft pins is rotatably connected with an inclined push arm. The top of the inclined push arm at the top is rotatably connected with the movable cylinder through a rotating shaft. The bottom of the inclined push arm at the bottom is rotatably connected with the bottom plate through a rotating shaft.

[0040] A preforming method for manufacturing a silicon nitride ceramic green body, the steps of the preforming method are as follows:
[0041] Step 1: Add silicon nitride ceramic raw materials into the inner cavity of the outer forming die 101. Then, the motor 205 operates to drive the cam plate 206 to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees. The pin 207 on the cam plate 206 causes the inclined push arm 208 to rotate. Due to the fixed bottom plate 201 of the bottom inclined push arm 208, the cam plate 206, the motor 205, and the lifting plate 204 move upward as the sliding sleeve 203 slides on the surface of the slide rail 202. The top inclined push arm 208 pushes the movable cylinder 6 to move upward in the inner cavity of the fixed plate 5. The movable cylinder 6 drives the shaft rod 7, the rotational drive assembly 8, the rotating plate 9, and the forming die assembly 10 to move upward until the forming die assembly 10 moves above the push plate 19.
[0042] Step 2: Then, the motor 1 85 drives the gear 2 86 to rotate, drives the threaded rod 82 to rotate through the gear 3 87. The threaded sleeve 83 moves under the guidance of the thread and the guide rod 88, thereby driving the rack 84 to move. The rack 84 drives the gear 1 81 and the shaft rod 7 to rotate 180 degrees. The shaft rod 7 drives the rotating plate 9 to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the forming die assembly 10 filled with silicon nitride ceramic raw materials enters the inner side and is directly below the upper pressure head 13, while the forming die assembly 10 without silicon nitride ceramic raw materials is located on the outer side.
[0043] Step 3: At this time, the motor 205 drives the cam plate 206 to rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees. Through the cooperation of the pin 207 and the inclined push arm 208, the lifting plate 204 drives the sliding sleeve 203 to slide downward on the surface of the slide rail 202, thereby causing the movable cylinder 6, the shaft rod 7, the rotational drive assembly 8, the rotating plate 9, and the forming die assembly 10 to move downward, causing the rotating plate 9 to fall above the support 2 4 and between the side fixed plate 16 and the ramp plate 17. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 12 operates to drive the upper pressure head 13 into the inner cavity of the forming die 101 to press the silicon nitride ceramic raw materials into blocks. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 12 drives the upper pressure head 13 to move upward and reset.
[0044] Step 4: At this time, the air cylinder 1 14 drives the ejector plate 15 to move upward. The ejector plate 15 extends into the inner cavity of the forming die 101 and pushes the die bottom plate 102 upward to eject the formed silicon nitride ceramic raw materials from the inner cavity of the forming die 101. At this time, the die bottom plate 102 drives the movable rod 103 and the connecting plate 104 to move upward and squeeze the spring 105. Then, the air cylinder 2 18 drives the push plate 19 to move, pushing the formed silicon nitride ceramic raw materials onto the ramp plate 17 and discharging them through the guidance of the ramp plate 17. The air cylinder 1 14 drives the ejector plate 15 to retract. At this time, the restoring force of the spring 105 causes the connecting plate 104 and the movable rod 103 to move downward, and the movable rod 103 drives the die bottom plate 102 to move downward to the bottom of the inner cavity of the forming die 101 for reset. At this time, a fixed amount of silicon nitride ceramic raw materials is loaded into the inner cavity of the outer forming die 101. According to the above operations, continue the block pressing and forming operations.

A guide rod 88 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the movable cylinder 6. The threaded sleeve 83 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 88. Through the arrangement of the guide rod 88, the threaded sleeve 83 will slide on the surface of the guide rod 88 to guide the movement of the threaded sleeve 83, avoiding the rotation of the threaded sleeve 83 following the rotation of the threaded rod 82 and improving the stability of the movement of the threaded sleeve 83.

The preformed silicon nitride ceramic blank will be ejected from the top of the forming die 101.

Through the cooperation of the shaft pin (207) and the inclined push arm (208), the lifting plate (204) drives the sliding sleeve (203) to slide downward on the surface of the slide rail (202), thereby causing the movable cylinder (6), the shaft rod (7), the rotation drive assembly (8), the rotating plate (9), and the molding die assembly (10) to move downward, so that the rotating plate (9) lands above the second bracket (4) and is located between the side fixed plate (16) and the slope plate (17). At this time, the hydraulic cylinder (12) works to drive the upper pressure head (13) into the inner cavity of the molding die (101) to press the silicon nitride ceramic raw material into a block. Then, the hydraulic cylinder (12) drives the upper pressure head (13) to move upward and reset; Step 4: At this time, the first cylinder (14) drives the ejector plate (15) to move upward. The ejector plate (15) extends into the inner cavity of the molding die (101) and pushes the mold bottom plate (102) to move upward to eject the formed silicon nitride ceramic raw material out of the inner cavity of the molding die (101). At this time, the mold bottom plate (102) drives the movable rod (103) and the connecting plate (104) to move upward and compress the spring (105). Then, the second cylinder (18) drives the push plate (19) to move, and ejects the formed silicon nitride ceramic raw material onto the slope plate (17), and discharges it through the guidance of the slope plate (17). The first cylinder (14) drives the ejector plate (15) to retract. At this time, the restoring force of the spring (105) causes the connecting plate (104) and the movable rod (103) to move downward, and the movable rod (103) drives the mold bottom plate (102) to move downward to the bottom of the inner cavity of the molding die (101) for reset. At this time, a fixed amount of silicon nitride ceramic raw material is loaded into the inner cavity of the outer molding die (101). According to the above operations, the block pressing and forming operation is continued.
