Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, and in particular to an integrated equipment for automatic loading, metal printing and drying of ceramic rings. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ceramic rings are mostly printed manually, with operators typically performing inking and squeegeeing processes. Because manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control printing pressure, printing time, and operational stability, and because skill differences exist among operators, it easily leads to inconsistent printing quality, large fluctuations in yield, and limited production efficiency.

[0003] In addition, manual printing is difficult to achieve continuous and rhythmic production. Under mass production conditions, it is highly dependent on manpower, which can easily lead to unnecessary waste of ink and auxiliary materials. It is also not conducive to the automatic connection of subsequent processes such as drying, turning, and stacking.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies in ceramic ring printing still suffer from problems such as low automation, limited production efficiency, and insufficient printing quality stability. There is an urgent need for equipment that can achieve integrated operation of automatic loading of ceramic rings into boats, metal printing, and drying to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated equipment for automatic loading of ceramic rings into a boat and for metal printing and drying, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: The integrated equipment for automatic loading, metal printing and drying of ceramic rings includes a feeding and arranging device, a front printing device, a first drying device, a back printing device, a second drying device and a feeding and stacking device connected in sequence. The jig plates and products are continuously transported between the devices through a whole-line conveyor system. The feeding and aligning device is used to automatically arrange and load loose ceramic rings onto the jig plate; the front printing device is used to print on the front of the arranged ceramic rings; the back printing device is used to flip the ceramic rings and print on their back; the first drying device and the second drying device are used to dry the ceramic rings after front printing and back printing, respectively; the unloading and stacking device is used to receive the jig plate after the second drying device and stack the jig plate for subsequent boat loading operations.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the ceramic ring automatic loading boat metal printing and drying integrated equipment provided in this embodiment includes a feeding and arranging device 1, a front printing device 2, a first drying device 3, a back printing device 4, a second drying device 5 and a unloading and stacking device 6 connected in sequence. The jig plate and the product are continuously transported between each device through a whole line conveying system.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding and aligning device 1 is used to automatically arrange and load loose ceramic rings onto the fixture plate. It includes a feeding mechanism 101, an aligning mechanism 102, a product feeding bin 103, and an aligning conveying mechanism 104.

[0024] The product loading bin 103 is equipped with multiple loading stations and integrates a weighing and detection component. By detecting the weight of the ceramic rings entering the product loading bin 103, the number of loading is counted and controlled, thereby ensuring that the number of ceramic rings loaded onto the fixture plate in a single loading is consistent. The fixture plate is then conveyed to the alignment mechanism 102 via the loading mechanism 101.

[0025] The aligning mechanism 102 is equipped with multiple aligning stations. After the ceramic rings fall into the fixture plate, the ceramic rings are adjusted in posture and aligned in position by vibration, guidance or limiting structure, so that the ceramic rings are arranged neatly in the fixture holes to meet the requirements of the subsequent printing process for the alignment accuracy. After the alignment is completed, the fixture plate is transported to the front printing device 2 by the aligning conveyor mechanism 104.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the front printing apparatus 2 includes a front conveying buffer mechanism 201, a front printing platform 202, a front printing head assembly 203, and a front discharge conveying mechanism 204.

[0027] After being processed by the feeding and aligning device 1, the jig plate is first conveyed to the front conveying buffer mechanism 201. The front conveying buffer mechanism 201 is used to convey and temporarily store the jig plate to achieve cycle time matching between the preceding and following processes. The number of buffers can be set according to the cycle time requirements of the production line. During the buffering process, fiber optic sensors are used to detect whether the ceramic rings on the jig plate are warped. After confirming that there are no abnormalities, the jig plate is conveyed to the front printing platform 202.

[0028] The front printing platform 202 is equipped with a fixture correction mechanism and a screen distance lifting mechanism, which can accurately correct the position of the fixture plate before printing and adjust the distance between the printing screen and the surface of the ceramic ring according to the printing process requirements. Subsequently, the front printing head assembly 203 performs printing actions such as scraping, screen removal, and undercutting on the front of the ceramic ring to complete the printing of patterns or logos on the front of the ceramic ring.

[0029] After printing, the jig plate is conveyed to the first drying device 3 via the front discharge conveyor 204.

[0030] Both the first drying device 3 and the second drying device 5 adopt a dual-channel high-temperature resistant conveying structure and are equipped with a hot air circulation system for uniformly drying the printed ceramic rings. In this embodiment, the hot air circulation inside the drying device ensures that the ceramic rings at various positions on the fixture plate are heated evenly, thereby avoiding inconsistent printing quality caused by local temperature differences.

[0031] In addition, both the discharge ends of the first drying device 3 and the second drying device 5 are equipped with cooling zones to cool the jig plate after drying, so as to facilitate subsequent flipping or unloading operations.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the reverse printing device 4 includes a reverse feeding conveyor 401, a reverse conveying buffer mechanism 402, a flipping mechanism 403, a reverse printing platform 404, a reverse printing head assembly 405, and a reverse discharge conveyor 406.

[0033] After being processed by the first drying device 3, the jig plate is fed into the reverse printing device 4 by the reverse feeding conveyor 401, and the buffer adjustment is completed in the reverse conveying buffer mechanism 402. The number of buffers can also be set according to the production line cycle requirements.

[0034] The flipping mechanism 403 clamps and flips the fixture plate so that the reverse side of the ceramic ring faces upwards, while simultaneously correcting the fixture plate's posture during the flipping process. After flipping, the fixture plate enters the reverse printing platform 404, which is also equipped with a fixture correction mechanism and a screen distance lifting mechanism. These mechanisms allow for precise alignment of the fixture plate before printing and adjustment of the distance between the printing screen and the ceramic ring surface according to printing process requirements. The reverse printing head assembly 405 prints patterns or markings on the reverse side of the ceramic ring, performing actions such as scraping, screen removal, and undercoating. After reverse printing is completed, the fixture plate is conveyed via the reverse discharge conveyor mechanism 406 to the second drying device 5 for drying and curing.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the unloading and stacking device 6 includes a stacking mechanism 601 and an unloading conveying mechanism 602.

[0036] After being processed by the second drying device 5, the jig plate enters the stacking mechanism 601, which automatically stacks and collects it according to preset rules; after stacking is completed, the jig plate is transported to the unloading position by the unloading conveying mechanism 602.

[0037] In this embodiment, a boat loading device is provided at the rear end of the unloading and stacking device 6. The boat loading device is connected to the unloading and stacking device 6 to realize the automatic loading of ceramic rings into boats, thereby realizing the continuous and automated connection between the ceramic ring printing, drying and boat loading processes, reducing manual intervention, and improving production efficiency and boat loading consistency.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the loading device includes a ceramic seat feeding bin 701, a ceramic seat vibrating plate 702, a jig plate loading mechanism 703, a ceramic ring picking mechanism 704, a ceramic ring feeding mechanism 705, an empty jig plate collecting mechanism 706, a wooden pallet loading mechanism 707, a firing pad loading position 708, a ceramic ring loading position 709, a finished product unloading position 710, and a wooden pallet receiving mechanism 711.

[0039] The firing pads are placed centrally in the ceramic seat feeding hopper 701, and are oriented and continuously conveyed by the ceramic seat vibrating plate 702, finally reaching the firing pad loading position 708. The jig plate is fed into the loading station by the jig plate loading mechanism 703, and the ceramic ring picking mechanism 704 sequentially removes ceramic rings from the jig plate and conveys them to the ceramic ring loading position 709 by the ceramic ring loading mechanism 705.

[0040] The wooden pallet loading mechanism 707 provides a wooden pallet for loading the firing pad. The clamping mechanism in the boat loading device simultaneously clamps the firing pad and ceramic ring located at the firing pad loading position 708 and the ceramic ring loading position 709, respectively, and completes the boat loading according to the preset position. The empty jig plate after the boat loading is completed is recycled by the empty jig plate collection mechanism 706.

[0041] The firing pads that have been loaded onto the boat are transported to the finished product unloading position 710 and transferred to the wooden pallet receiving mechanism 711. The wooden pallet receiving mechanism 711 pushes the firing pads and neatly stacks them on the wooden pallet for subsequent transfer or entry into the next process.

[0042] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown in this embodiment, during operation, the integrated automatic ceramic ring loading, metal printing, and drying equipment feeds loose ceramic rings into the jig plate via a feeding and aligning device 1. After quantitative feeding and orientation alignment, the rings sequentially enter the front printing device 2, the first drying device 3, the back printing device 4, and the second drying device 5, achieving continuous automatic printing and drying of both sides of the ceramic rings. The jig plate, after being processed by the second drying device 5, enters the unloading and stacking device 6 for automatic stacking. In the loading device, the ceramic rings on the jig plate are transferred and loaded onto the firing pad, ultimately completing the continuous automated operation of the ceramic rings from feeding, printing, drying to loading.

[0043] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
