Ceramics are materials and various products made mainly of clay and various natural minerals through crushing, mixing, kneading, forming and calcining. People call the items made of a kind of clay and fired at high temperature in a special kiln ceramics. Ceramics are the general term for pottery and porcelain. The traditional concept of ceramics refers to all artificial industrial products made of inorganic non-metallic minerals such as clay. Among them, during the production process of ceramics, grooving treatment needs to be carried out on the chamfered parts of ceramic products.

[0030] Specifically, the positioning unit 4 includes a plurality of clamping plates 401, guiding grooves 402, threaded rods 403 and a power motor. The guiding grooves 402 are arranged in the workbench 2, and the clamping plates 401 are slidably connected with the guiding grooves 402.

[0033] "Ceramic grooving" generally refers to machining specific-shaped and sized grooves or trenches on ceramic materials. This processing technology plays an important role in the installation, use of ceramics, and their cooperation with other components. The processing technology of ceramic grooving

[0034] Mechanical machining: Use professional cutting tools (such as cutters, abrasives, etc.) to machine ceramic materials. This method is suitable for ceramic materials with lower hardness and greater brittleness.

[0035] Laser processing: Use a high-energy laser beam to irradiate the ceramic material, causing it to instantly melt or vaporize to form a groove. This method has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and small heat-affected zone.

[0037] Specifically, the driving unit 502 includes a driving motor, a sprocket, a chain, and a power housing. The output shaft of the driving motor is sleeved with one of the sprockets. A power shaft is inserted into the other sprocket, and the power shaft is connected to the cutting shaft 501.

An installation groove is provided inside the housing, and the nut is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. The nut is connected to the cutting bracket.

[0039] Inside the feeding unit 503, components such as a power motor are provided. The power motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and through the thread, drives the nut to move. When the nut moves, it drives the cutting bracket, cutting shaft 501, and driving unit 502 connected to it to move, thereby driving the cutting shaft 501 to move. The driving unit 502 connected to the cutting shaft 501 drives the cutting shaft 501 to rotate. The rotating cutting shaft 501 contacts the processing rod 3. Driven by the feeding unit 503, a connecting groove 301 is cut out on the processing rod 3. Cooperating with a rotating device that can drive the workbench 2 to rotate, multiple connecting grooves 301 on the upper end surface of the processing rod 3 can be processed.

[0040] In order to be able to cut out the connecting groove 301 at the bottom of the processing rod 3, a clamping unit 7, a flipping assembly 8, and a lifting device are provided on the upper side of the workbench 2. The clamping unit 7 is used to clamp and loosen the processing rod 3. The flipping assembly 8 can drive the clamping unit 7 to flip. The lifting device is used to drive the clamping unit 7 to move up and down.

[0041] After the processing rod 3 is clamped by the clamping unit 7, the lifting device is started. The lifting device drives the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 to move upward, so that the processing rod 3 is completely separated from the positioning unit 4. Then the flipping assembly 8 is started. The flipping assembly 8 drives the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 to flip, turning the bottom surface of the processing rod 3 to the upper side. Then, the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 are moved to the workbench 2 through the lifting device. Then the positioning unit 4 is started to clamp the processing rod 3. Subsequently, the corresponding connecting groove 301 is opened on another surface of the processing rod 3 through the grooving assembly 5.

[0042] Specifically, the clamping unit 7 includes two jaws 701, an inclined plate 702, a connecting plate 703, a push-pull plate 704, a telescopic rod 705, and a support plate. The inclined plate 702 is fixedly connected to the jaw 701. The jaw 701 is provided with an arc-shaped portion that fits the outer wall of the processing rod 3. The jaw 701 is connected to the support plate through a rotating shaft. The inclined plate 702 is movably connected to the connecting plate 703. The other end of the connecting plate 703 is movably connected to the push-pull plate 704. The push-pull plate 704 is connected to the output end of the telescopic rod 705. The support plate is connected to the flipping assembly 8.

[0043] More specifically, it further includes a lifting plate. The flipping assembly 8 is arranged on the lifting plate. The lifting plate is connected to the lifting device. The lifting plate is connected to a slider 9. The slider 9 is movably connected to a guide rail 10. The guide rail 10 is connected to a fixed frame. The slider 9 is connected to the mounting frame. Components such as the guide rail 10 are used to limit the orientation of the lifting device driving the clamping unit 7 to move and prevent it from tilting.

[0044] Working principle:

[0045] The driving motor can drive the threaded rod 403 to rotate forward and backward. The threaded rod 403 can drive the clamping plate 401 to move along the guiding groove 402 through the thread, enabling the clamping plate 401 to fit against the inner wall of the processing rod 3 or move away from the processing rod 3, so as to clamp and loosen the processing rod 3. Before machining the connecting groove 301 on the processing rod 3, it is necessary to activate the positioning unit 4 to clamp the processing rod 3 through it.

[0046] Inside the feeding unit 503, there are components such as a driving motor. The driving motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and through the thread, it drives the nut to move. When the nut moves, it drives the cutting support, the cutting shaft 501, and the driving unit 502 connected to it to move, thereby driving the cutting shaft 501 to move. The driving unit 502 connected to the cutting shaft 501 drives the cutting shaft 501 to rotate. The rotating cutting shaft 501 contacts the processing rod 3. Driven by the feeding unit 503, a connecting groove 301 is cut out on the processing rod 3. Cooperating with the rotating device that can drive the workbench 2 to rotate, multiple connecting grooves 301 on the upper end surface of the processing rod 3 can be machined.

[0047] After the processing rod 3 is clamped by the clamping unit 7, start the lifting device. Drive the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 to move upward through the lifting device, so that the processing rod 3 is completely separated from the positioning unit 4. Then start the flipping assembly 8. Drive the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 to flip through the flipping assembly 8, flipping the bottom surface of the processing rod 3 to the upper side. Then move the clamping unit 7 and the processing rod 3 to the workbench 2 through the lifting device. Then start the positioning unit 4 to clamp the processing rod 3. Subsequently, use the grooving assembly 5 to open a corresponding connecting groove 301 on another surface of the processing rod 3.
