Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of ceramic production technology, and in particular relates to a disperser for ceramic production and a ceramic printing production line. Background Technology
[0002] A disperser, broadly speaking, is a type of mixer. Based on the lifting method, it can be divided into hydraulic lifting dispersers and mechanical lifting dispersers. The speed of a disperser is adjustable. It mainly consists of five parts: a hydraulic system, a main drive, a mixing system, a guiding mechanism, and an electrical control box. Each part has a compact and reasonable structure. It is widely used as a high-efficiency equipment for mixing, dispersing, and dissolving coatings and solids, as well as for chemical products such as coatings, inks, pigments, and adhesives. Nowadays, some dispersers require the raw materials to be placed in the drum during use, and the mixing system is used to stir the raw materials.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN201720437868.7 discloses a stirring device for a disperser of liquid raw materials. Its structure includes: a three-stage agitator, a stirring tank, a disperser base, a power oil tank, an electrical control cabinet, an operation control panel, a hydraulic piston rod, an oil unloading pipe, a mechanical movable platform housing, and a disperser top cover.

[0018] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0019] The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this invention, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a disperser for ceramic production, including a mounting base 1, a dispersing mechanism 2, a dispersing barrel 4, and a clamping mechanism 3. The dispersing mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a support base 31, a threaded rod 32, a threaded sleeve 33, and a clamping arm 34. The support base 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. The threaded rod 32, the threaded sleeve 33, and the clamping arm 34 are all hinged to the support base 31. The threaded rod 32 passes through the threaded sleeve 33 and is threadedly connected to each other. By rotating and adjusting the relative position of the threaded portion between the threaded rod 32 and the threaded sleeve 33, the clamping arm 34 clamps the dispersing barrel 4.
[0022] In this application, the mounting base 1 and the dispersion tank 4 are not directly connected; the mounting tank needs to be adjusted using the clamping mechanism 3 of this application. For example, when adding raw materials, the dispersion tank 4 is moved to the feeding area. After feeding, the dispersion tank 4 is moved below the stirring mechanism. At this time, the threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33 needs to be rotated, causing relative rotation between the threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33. The threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33 pulls the clamping arm 34 to clamp the dispersion tank 4, thereby achieving fixation. After the raw material dispersion is completed, the threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33 needs to be rotated, causing relative rotation between the threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33. The threaded rod 32 or threaded sleeve 33 pulls the clamping arm 34 to release the dispersion tank 4, thereby facilitating the transfer of the dispersion tank 4.
[0023] In one feasible embodiment, the dispersing mechanism 2 includes a drive motor, a transmission mechanism, a stirring shaft, and stirring blades. The drive motor and the transmission mechanism are connected and both are mounted on the mounting base 1. The stirring shaft is located at the power output end of the drive motor, and the stirring blades are located on the circumferential surface of the stirring shaft. When the drive motor starts, the transmission mechanism drives the stirring shaft to rotate, and the stirring shaft drives the stirring blades to stir the raw materials. The specific form of the dispersing mechanism 2 can be set according to the actual application.
[0024] In one feasible embodiment, the support base 31 is provided with a first hinge point 311 and a second hinge point 312, the clamping arm 34 is provided with a third hinge point 341, and the threaded rod 32 includes a rod body 321 and a connector 322. The end of the rod body 321 is rotatably connected to the connector 322, and the rod body 321 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 33. The clamping arm 34 and the support base 31 are hinged at the first hinge point 311, the connector 322 and the support base 31 are hinged at the second hinge point 312, and the threaded sleeve 33 and the clamping arm 34 are hinged at the third hinge point 341. In this embodiment, rotating the rod body 321 causes the clamping arm 34 to move closer to the dispersion barrel 4, thereby achieving fixation; or rotating the rod body 321 causes the clamping arm 34 to move away from the dispersion barrel 4, thereby achieving release. The rotation of the threaded rod 32 drives the threaded sleeve 33, causing its position to change, and the clamping arm 34 changes accordingly, achieving a change in radial distance. This embodiment can adapt to dispersion barrels 4 of different sizes.
[0025] In one feasible embodiment, the clamping arm 34 includes a swing arm 342 and a gripper 343, which are hinged together by a fourth hinge point, with a third hinge point 341 located on the swing arm 342. Specifically, the gripper 343 has a V-shaped structure, providing two contact points with the circular dispersion barrel 4 when gripping it, thus improving stability during gripping. In other feasible embodiments, the gripper 343 has an arc-shaped structure, allowing for a closer fit to the circular dispersion barrel 4.
[0026] In one feasible embodiment, a wheel 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the rod 321 away from the connector 322, and a rocker arm 36 is rotatably connected to the wheel 35. The wheel 35 and the rocker arm 36 facilitate manual rotation of the rod 321, saving time and effort and improving work efficiency.
[0027] In one feasible implementation, a first omnidirectional wheel 5 is provided at the bottom of the dispersion tank 4, which is used to switch the position of the dispersion tank 4. In other feasible implementations, a slider can be provided at the bottom of the dispersion tank 4, and a corresponding slide rail can be provided on the ground. The position of the dispersion tank 4 can be switched by the cooperation of the slide rail and the slider, which facilitates the transfer of raw materials. Compared with the slide rail and slider, the omnidirectional wheel is a composite wheel composed of multiple wheels, which can rotate freely in multiple directions, thus providing flexibility. Compared with ordinary wheels, it is easier to perform curved movements and adjust direction. Especially in operation in confined spaces and complex environments, the omnidirectional wheel can transfer the dispersion tank more quickly and accurately. Since the omnidirectional wheel is not limited to forward, backward, left, or right movements, the running direction and speed can be controlled more easily, and the operation difficulty is relatively low.
[0028] In one feasible embodiment, a second universal wheel 6 is provided at the bottom of the support base 31, which is used to switch the position of the support base 31. Similarly, in some other feasible embodiments, a slider can be provided at the bottom of the support base 31, and a slide rail corresponding to the slider can be provided on the ground. The position of the support base 31 can be switched by the cooperation of the slide rail and the slider, which facilitates the transfer of the disperser.
[0029] In one feasible implementation, a switch 7 is provided on the dispersion tank 4, which is used to discharge the liquid inside the dispersion tank 4. Specifically, the switch 7 is a valve, which facilitates the transfer of the stirred raw materials.
[0030] The present invention also provides a ceramic printing production line, including any of the above-mentioned ceramic production dispersers, and further including a grinding machine, a filter, a digital printer and a kiln, wherein the disperser, grinding machine, filter, digital printer and kiln are connected in sequence.
[0031] Traditional digital ceramic printing suffers from poor red color gamut and insufficient saturation. It is also fired at a high temperature of 1200 degrees Celsius, which causes unstable color development, resulting in most of the reds turning into orange-red. Therefore, it cannot meet the color gamut requirements of designers, and many designs are limited by the color development, making it impossible to create vibrant and rich patterns.
[0032] Direct-to-garment bright red ink is made by grinding low-temperature frit together with red ceramic inorganic pigments. The firing temperature is lowered to 700 degrees Celsius by using low-temperature frit, resulting in a bright red color that is as vibrant as organic red. The lower firing temperature also reduces the energy consumption of the firing process. It achieves a rich color gamut on the CYMK color chart, which greatly helps designers expand the color gamut and allows them to design more colorful patterns.
[0033] The disperser uses an ultra-high-speed stirring disperser, the sand mill uses a high-speed grinding sand mill, and the filter uses a high-precision 1-micron filter. The specific process flow is as follows: Before grinding, the red pigment and low-temperature frit are added to the ink grinding slurry and dispersed at high speed. The mixture is then placed in a grinding hopper and stirred at a uniform speed before being fed into the sand mill. A Malvern particle size analyzer is used to measure the particle size until it reaches D50 of 0.3 microns. After being discharged, the viscosity and density are adjusted to a level that the printer can print on. The mixture is then filtered through a high-precision filter to obtain the finished ink product, which is then printed by an inkjet printer and fired in a kiln at 700 degrees Celsius.
