Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, specifically to a feeding device and method for processing green ceramic blanks. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramics, as an inorganic material with a long history and wide application, possesses numerous excellent properties such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistance, low density, good chemical stability, and corrosion resistance, playing an indispensable role in many fields of modern society. From tableware and sanitary ware in daily life to mechanical parts and electronic components in industrial production, and key components in high-end fields such as aerospace, ceramic materials are ubiquitous. In the ceramic production process, green body processing is an extremely crucial step. Ceramic green bodies refer to the blanks formed from ceramic raw materials after processing but before high-temperature firing. Their quality and efficiency directly determine the quality and production cost of the final ceramic product. As the starting point of green body processing, the feeding device plays a fundamental supporting role in the smooth operation of the entire production process. The performance of the feeding device not only affects the precision and consistency of green body processing but also relates to production efficiency and labor cost control.

[0003] After the green body is processed, it needs to be transported from the processing area to a conveyor for transport. However, in the existing feeding devices, when the green body is placed on the conveyor, the contact surface between the green body and the conveyor is easily worn due to the speed difference between them, which affects the production quality of ceramics. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to provide a feeding device and method for ceramic green body processing to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications.

[0021] As a further aspect of the present invention: the moving component includes:

[0022] A rack and a suction cup are slidably installed in a support plate, and both the rack and the suction cup are fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0023] A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the end of the rack and suction cup away from the substrate.

[0024] A limiting ring is disposed on the suction cup;

[0025] And a guide rod for elastically supporting the connecting plate, the guide rod being sleeved on the suction cup.

[0026] As a further aspect of the present invention: the control component includes:

[0027] Telescopic cylinder, wherein the telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the base plate, and multiple sets of telescopic cylinders are provided;

[0028] A lifting plate, which is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder;

[0030] And a second spring for elastically pressing the mounting base, the second spring being sleeved on the guide rod.

[0035] And a rotating shaft one is rotatably installed in the support box. The rotating shaft one and the rotating shaft two are connected by a linkage, and a gear that meshes with a rack is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft one.

[0036] A method for feeding ceramic green bodies, using the ceramic green body feeding device described above, includes the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: Use a robotic arm to move the support unit, so that the transport unit moves to the processing area of ​​the green blank, and use a suction cup to pick up the green blank;

[0038] Step 2: After adsorption is complete, the robotic arm drives the support unit to move, so that the adsorbed green billet can be moved above the conveying unit.

[0039] Step 3: After the green billet is moved above the conveying unit, the robotic arm will move the support unit down, so that the cleaning unit presses onto the conveying unit to clean the conveying unit;

[0040] Step 4: While cleaning, the robotic arm continues to move the support unit downwards, so that the following component can work with the conveying unit to drive the moving component to work, so that the adsorbed green billet moves synchronously with the conveying unit, and works with the control component to move the adsorbed green billet downwards, and finally place the green billet on the conveying unit for feeding.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: A robotic arm drives a support unit to move, allowing the transport unit to move to the processing area of ​​the green blank, where a suction cup adsorbs the green blank. The height of the suction cup can be adjusted using a control component, facilitating the adsorption of green blanks of different sizes. After adsorption, the robotic arm drives the support unit to move, allowing the adsorbed green blank to move above the conveying unit. Once above the conveying unit, the robotic arm drives the support unit downwards, causing the cleaning unit to press against the conveying unit for cleaning. Simultaneously, the robotic arm continues to drive the support unit downwards, enabling the following component to work in conjunction with the conveying unit to drive the moving component, ensuring the adsorbed green blank moves synchronously with the conveying unit, avoiding speed differences between the green blank and the conveying unit. The control component then drives the adsorbed green blank downwards, finally placing it onto the conveying unit for feeding.

[0042] Because the side plate protrudes significantly from the bottom of the cleaning box, it is easy for the pressing roller to press the wiping cloth onto the conveyor belt. After the wiping cloth is pressed onto the conveyor belt, both the feeding roller and the take-up roller are stationary. The wiping cloth can be used to wipe the surface of the conveyor belt, achieving the cleaning treatment of the conveyor belt surface and preventing the residual raw materials and other impurities on the conveyor belt surface from affecting the forming effect of the green body. After a period of use, the feeding roller and the take-up roller will rotate to rewind the used part of the wiping cloth into the take-up roller, thereby improving the subsequent cleaning effect. The limiting groove is used to restrict the wiping cloth and prevent the wiping cloth from deviating.

[0043] As the top plate and support box continue to move downwards, spring one will be compressed. At this time, the driven wheel will press onto the conveyor belt, causing the conveyor belt to drive the driven wheel to rotate. The driven wheel can be a rubber wheel. The driven wheel is set up with the linkage component through the cooperation of the rotating shaft two, which can drive the rotating shaft one to rotate. The rotating shaft one can drive the gear to rotate, and the gear can drive the rack to move inside the support plate, thereby pushing the base plate and the conveyor belt to move synchronously. This allows the adsorbed green blank to move synchronously with the conveyor belt. With the help of the telescopic cylinder to drive the lifting plate to move downwards, the green blank can be placed on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is used to transport the green blank, realizing feeding.

[0044] This invention, through the coordinated arrangement of a conveying unit, a handling mechanism, and a robotic arm, avoids the problem in existing feeding devices where, during use, the contact surface between the green blank and the conveying equipment is easily worn due to the speed difference between the green blank and the conveying equipment, thus affecting the production quality of ceramics.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0061] Please see Figures 1-10 The ceramic green body processing feeding device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0062] The system includes a conveying unit, a handling mechanism, and a robotic arm for driving the handling mechanism; the robotic arm can be made using existing publicly available technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] The handling mechanism includes a support unit for connecting the robotic arm, and the support unit is respectively provided with a cleaning unit and a handling unit;

[0064] The conveying unit includes a support plate 10, a base plate 12, and a suction cup 28. The support plate 10 is disposed on the support unit and is provided with a moving component for driving the base plate 12 to move horizontally. The base plate 12 is provided with a control component for adjusting the working height of the suction cup 28, and the support unit is also provided with a following component for driving the moving component to work.

[0065] In embodiments of the present invention, different suction cups 28 can be selected according to the different shapes or materials of the green blanks. No specific limitations are made here. The suction cups 28 in this application can be applied to green blanks with a disc-shaped structure, such as ceramic plates. During processing, a robotic arm drives the support unit to move, causing the transport unit to move to the processing area of ​​the green blank, and the suction cups 28 are used to adsorb the green blank. The height of the suction cups 28 can be adjusted using a control component, facilitating the adsorption of green blanks of different sizes. After adsorption, the robotic arm drives the support unit to move, allowing the adsorbed green blank to move above the transport unit. After the green blank moves above the transport unit, the robotic arm will drive the support unit downwards, causing the cleaning unit to press against the surface. On the conveying unit, the conveying unit is cleaned; while cleaning, the robotic arm continues to drive the support unit downward, so that the following component can work in conjunction with the conveying unit to drive the moving component, so that the adsorbed green blank moves synchronously with the conveying unit, avoiding the speed difference between the green blank and the conveying unit, and working with the control component to drive the adsorbed green blank downward, finally placing the green blank on the conveying unit for feeding; compared with the prior art, the present invention, through the coordinated arrangement of the conveying unit, the handling mechanism and the robotic arm, avoids the problem in the existing feeding device that, when the green blank is placed on the conveying equipment, the contact surface between the green blank and the conveying equipment is easily worn due to the speed difference between the green blank and the conveying equipment, which affects the production quality of ceramics.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1-10 The support unit includes:

[0067] Top plate 4, on which a connecting flange 3 is provided; the model and size of the connecting flange 3 are not specifically limited here, and can be selected according to actual needs, as long as it is convenient to connect the robotic arm;

[0068] And a support box 6, wherein a set of support boxes 6 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top plate 4.

[0069] In this embodiment, the connecting flange 3 enables a quick connection with the robotic arm, and the combination of the top plate 4 and the support box 6 provides stable support for the entire device; the two sets of support boxes 6 are symmetrical to each other.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1-10 The cleaning unit includes:

[0071] Cleaning box 5, with limiting frames 7 on both sides that are slidably connected to support box 6;

[0072] Spring 11, one end of which is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 5, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the support plate 10;

[0073] And a cleaning component, which is disposed on the cleaning box 5;

[0074] The cleaning component includes:

[0075] Side plate 8, one set of side plates 8 is fixedly installed on each side of the cleaning box 5, and a pressing roller 23 is rotatably installed between the two sets of side plates 8;

[0076] The material feeding roller 24 is rotatably mounted inside the cleaning box 5, and the cleaning box 5 also has a winding roller 25 rotatably mounted inside the cleaning box 5; both the material feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25 are equipped with motors to control the rotation of the material feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25.

[0077] and wiping cloth 16, which is mounted on feeding roller 24, and the end of wiping cloth 16 passes through pressing roller 23 and is fixed on winding roller 25;

[0078] The pressing roller 23 is also provided with a limiting groove 26 for limiting the wiping cloth 16, and the depth of the limiting groove 26 is less than the thickness of the wiping cloth 16.

[0079] In this embodiment, since the side plate 8 protrudes significantly from the bottom of the cleaning box 5, it is convenient for the pressing roller 23 to press the wiping cloth 16 onto the conveyor belt 2. After the wiping cloth 16 is pressed onto the conveyor belt 2, the feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25 are both in a stationary state. The wiping cloth 16 can be used to wipe the surface of the conveyor belt 2, thereby cleaning the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and preventing the residual raw materials and other impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 from affecting the forming effect of the green blank. After a period of use, the feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25 will rotate to wind up the used part of the wiping cloth 16 into the winding roller 25, thereby improving the subsequent cleaning effect. The limiting groove 26 is used to restrict the wiping cloth 16 and prevent the wiping cloth 16 from deviating.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1-10 The moving component includes:

[0081] A rack 9 and a suction cup 28 are slidably installed in the support plate 10, and both the rack 9 and the suction cup 28 are fixedly connected to the base plate 12.

[0082] Connecting plate 17, which is fixedly installed on the end of rack 9 and suction cup 28 away from substrate 12;

[0083] A limiting ring 31 is disposed on the suction cup 28;

[0084] And a guide rod 29 for elastically supporting the connecting plate 17, the guide rod 29 being sleeved on the suction cup 28;

[0085] The control component includes:

[0086] Telescopic cylinder 15, which is fixedly installed on base plate 12, and multiple sets of telescopic cylinder 15 are provided;

[0087] Lifting plate 13, which is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of telescopic cylinder 15;

[0088] A guide rod 29 is slidably mounted on the lifting plate 13. One end of the guide rod 29 is provided with a circular baffle, and the other end of the guide rod 29 is provided with a mounting seat 14 for connecting the suction cup 28. The mounting seat 14 adopts existing publicly available technology, which is convenient for fixing different models of suction cups 28.

[0089] And a second spring 30 for elastically pressing the mounting base 14, the second spring 30 being sleeved on the guide rod 29;

[0090] The telescopic cylinder 15 is either an electric telescopic cylinder 15 or a hydraulic telescopic cylinder 15; the specific model of the telescopic cylinder 15 is not limited here.

[0091] The follower component includes:

[0092] A rotating shaft 22 is rotatably installed inside the support box 6. A driven wheel 20 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 22, and a strip hole is provided at the bottom of the support box 6 for the driven wheel 20 to pass through.

[0093] Through hole 27, which is formed on support plate 10;

[0094] And a rotating shaft 18 is rotatably installed in the support box 6. The rotating shaft 18 and the rotating shaft 22 are connected by a linkage 21, and a gear 19 that meshes with the rack 9 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 18; wherein the linkage 21 adopts a combination structure of pulley and transmission belt.

[0095] In this embodiment, as the top plate 4 and the support box 6 continue to move downwards, the spring 11 will be compressed. At this time, the driven wheel 20 will press against the conveyor belt 2, causing the conveyor belt 2 to drive the driven wheel 20 to rotate. The driven wheel 20 can be a rubber wheel. The driven wheel 20 is configured to drive the rotating shaft 18 to rotate through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 22 and the linkage 21. The rotating shaft 18 can drive the gear 19 to rotate, and the gear 19 can drive the rack 9 to move within the support plate 10, thereby pushing the base plate 12 to move synchronously with the conveyor belt 2. (The transmission ratio of the rotating shaft 22 or the transmission ratio between the gear 19 and the rack 9 can be changed to adjust the rotation ratio of the driven wheel 20.) The transmission enables the substrate 12 to move synchronously with the conveyor belt 2 (the specific method is not limited here), thereby allowing the adsorbed green blank to move synchronously with the conveyor belt 2. In conjunction with the telescopic cylinder 15 driving the lifting plate 13 to move downward, the green blank can be placed on the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the green blank and realize feeding. The cooperation between the spring 20 and the guide rod 29 ensures that a certain elastic distance is maintained between the mounting base 14 and the lifting plate 13 to prevent the green blank from being deformed. When the driven wheel 20 separates from the conveyor belt 2, the substrate 12 is reset under the pushing action of the guide rod 29. The blocking action of the limiting ring 31 allows the substrate 12 to return to its initial position.

[0096] In summary, the working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0097] The height of the suction cup 28 can be adjusted using the control components, facilitating the suction cup 28 to adsorb green blanks of different sizes. The connecting flange 3 enables quick connection with the robotic arm, and the combination of the top plate 4 and the support box 6 provides stable support for the entire device. After adsorption, the robotic arm moves the support unit, allowing the adsorbed green blank to move above the conveying unit. Once the green blank is above the conveying unit, the robotic arm moves the support unit downwards, pressing the cleaning unit onto the conveying unit for cleaning. Because the side plate 8 protrudes significantly from the bottom of the cleaning box 5, the pressing roller 23 easily presses the wiping cloth 16 onto the conveying unit. On conveyor belt 2, after the wiping cloth 16 is pressed onto the conveyor belt 2, both the feeding roller 24 and the take-up roller 25 are stationary. The wiping cloth 16 can wipe the surface of the conveyor belt 2, achieving cleaning treatment of the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and preventing residual raw materials and other impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 from affecting the forming effect of the green body. After a period of use, the feeding roller 24 and the take-up roller 25 will rotate, and the used part of the wiping cloth 16 will be rolled into the take-up roller 25, thereby improving the subsequent cleaning effect. The limiting groove 26 is used to restrict the wiping cloth 16 and prevent the wiping cloth 16 from deviating. While cleaning, the robotic arm continues to drive the support unit to move down, so that the following component can... The moving component works in conjunction with the conveyor unit to ensure that the adsorbed green billets move synchronously with the conveyor unit. The control component also moves the adsorbed green billets downwards, ultimately placing them onto the conveyor unit for feeding. Specifically, as the top plate 4 and support box 6 continue to move downwards, spring 11 is compressed. At this time, driven wheel 20 presses against conveyor belt 2, causing conveyor belt 2 to drive driven wheel 20 to rotate. Driven wheel 20 can be a rubber wheel. Driven wheel 20, through the cooperation of rotating shaft 22 and linkage 21, can drive rotating shaft 18 to rotate. Rotating shaft 18 can drive gear 19 to rotate, and gear 19 can drive rack 9 on the support plate. The moving wheel 10 pushes the substrate 12 and the conveyor belt 2 to move synchronously, so that the adsorbed green blank moves synchronously with the conveyor belt 2. With the telescopic cylinder 15 driving the lifting plate 13 to move down, the green blank can be placed on the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the green blank and realize feeding. The cooperation between the spring 20 and the guide rod 29 makes the mounting base 14 and the lifting plate 13 maintain a certain elastic distance to prevent the green blank from being deformed by pressure. When the driven wheel 20 separates from the conveyor belt 2, the substrate 12 is reset under the pushing action of the guide rod 29. The blocking action of the limiting ring 31 makes the substrate 12 return to the initial position.

[0098] Please see Figures 1-10 The ceramic green body processing feeding method provided in this embodiment of the invention uses the ceramic green body processing feeding device as described above, and the method includes the following steps:

[0099] Step 1: The robotic arm drives the support unit to move, so that the conveying unit moves to the processing area of ​​the green blank, and the suction cup 28 is used to adsorb the green blank; the height of the suction cup 28 can be adjusted by the control component, so that the suction cup 28 can adsorb green blanks of different sizes; the connecting flange 3 can realize quick connection with the robotic arm; the cooperation between the top plate 4 and the support box 6 can realize the stable support of the whole device.

[0100] Step 2: After adsorption is complete, the robotic arm drives the support unit to move, so that the adsorbed green billet can be moved above the conveying unit.

[0101] Step 3: After the green body moves above the conveying unit, the robotic arm will drive the support unit to move down, so that the cleaning unit presses onto the conveying unit to clean the conveying unit. Since the side plate 8 protrudes significantly from the bottom of the cleaning box 5, it is easy for the pressing roller 23 to press the wiping cloth 16 onto the conveyor belt 2. When the wiping cloth 16 is pressed onto the conveyor belt 2, the feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25 are both in a stationary state. The wiping cloth 16 can wipe the surface of the conveyor belt 2 to achieve the cleaning treatment of the surface of the conveyor belt 2, so as to avoid the raw materials and other impurities remaining on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 from affecting the forming effect of the green body. After a period of use, the feeding roller 24 and the winding roller 25 will rotate to wind up the used part of the wiping cloth 16 into the winding roller 25, thereby improving the subsequent cleaning effect. The limiting groove 26 is used to restrict the wiping cloth 16 and prevent the wiping cloth 16 from deviating.

[0102] Step 4: While cleaning, the robotic arm continues to move the support unit downwards, enabling the following component to work in conjunction with the conveying unit to drive the moving component. This allows the adsorbed green billet to move synchronously with the conveying unit, and the control component moves the adsorbed green billet downwards, ultimately placing it onto the conveying unit for feeding. Specifically, as the top plate 4 and support box 6 continue to move downwards, spring 11 is compressed. At this time, driven wheel 20 presses against the conveyor belt 2, causing the conveyor belt 2 to drive driven wheel 20 to rotate. Driven wheel 20 can be a rubber wheel. Driven wheel 20, through the cooperation of shaft 22 and linkage 21, can drive shaft 18 to rotate. Shaft 18 drives gear 19 to rotate, and gear 19 drives rack 9 to move within support plate 10, thereby pushing substrate 12 to move synchronously with conveyor belt 2. (By changing the transmission ratio of the rotating shaft 22 or the transmission ratio between the gear 19 and the rack 9, the substrate 12 can move synchronously with the conveyor belt 2 when the driven wheel 20 rotates, which is not specifically limited here.) This allows the adsorbed green blank to move synchronously with the conveyor belt 2. In conjunction with the telescopic cylinder 15 driving the lifting plate 13 to move down, the green blank can be placed on the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the green blank and realize feeding. The cooperation between the spring 20 and the guide rod 29 ensures that a certain elastic distance is maintained between the mounting base 14 and the lifting plate 13 to prevent the green blank from being deformed. When the driven wheel 20 separates from the conveyor belt 2, the substrate 12 is reset under the pushing action of the guide rod 29. The blocking action of the limiting ring 31 allows the substrate 12 to return to its initial position.

[0103] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
