Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a multi-purpose drying equipment and an automated ceramic production line. Background Technology
[0002] Slip casting is a commonly used method for forming ceramic blanks. It involves suspending ceramic particles in a liquid and then injecting the slurry into a porous mold. The liquid is then drawn out through the mold's pores, leaving a ceramic blank inside the mold. This method can produce arbitrarily complex shapes and large, thin-walled castings, and is therefore widely used in the manufacture of various ceramic products.
[0003] Existing slip-cast ceramic production lines require that the molds used for slip casting be sent to the first drying chamber for brief drying. Then, the upper mold is opened, the lower mold is inverted, and the semi-finished ceramic blank (not fully dried) is poured out. Next, the semi-finished ceramic blank is sent to the second drying chamber to complete the drying process. The dried ceramic blank is then sent to other processing equipment, while the mold is sent back to the slip casting equipment for slip casting again. After two or three of the above work cycles, the molds need to be sent to the mold drying equipment for long-term drying (because brief drying is not enough to completely remove moisture, and this moisture, after several accumulations, will cause the mold to become unusable, so long-term drying is required to restore the mold).
[0004] If the applicant filed the earlier application, the publication number is CN221872491U, and the name is "Ceramic Slurry Casting Production Line." This ceramic slurry casting production line includes a frame, a mold conveying mechanism, a slurry casting and forming mechanism, a mold drying mechanism, a mold opening mechanism, a mold bottom wiping mechanism, and two mold transfer mechanisms. Multiple workstations are sequentially arranged on the frame according to the processing order, and all workstations form a closed loop. The mold conveying mechanism is installed on the frame and passes through the aforementioned workstations sequentially. This technology involves removing the ceramic blank semi-finished product and using different drying mechanisms to separately dry the ceramic blank semi-finished product (not mentioned in the literature) and the mold (drying for a long time).
[0005] However, traditional processing methods require more than one drying unit on the production line. Because each drying unit processes different objects (e.g., molds containing slurry, semi-finished ceramic blanks, molds in a disassembled state: the lower mold component, and the inverted upper mold component), and the time required varies, they are difficult to share. This results in low energy utilization, significant waste, and excessive equipment footprint, increasing production costs (including equipment costs, site costs, and costs incurred during production). Furthermore, because semi-finished ceramic blanks are easily deformed, deformation can occur during unloading, unloading, and placement, resulting in scrap that cannot be reused, further increasing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The first objective of this invention is to provide a multi-purpose drying device capable of simultaneously drying molds containing slurry and molds in an open state. The technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0007] A multi-purpose drying device includes a frame, a drying chamber, a hot air supply mechanism, and a mold conveying mechanism. The drying chamber and the mold conveying mechanism are respectively mounted on the frame. The hot air supply mechanism connects to the drying chamber and supplies hot air into it. The mold conveying mechanism passes through the drying chamber. The mold conveying mechanism comprises a chain-type conveying unit and multiple suspended mold support frames. The chain-type conveying unit is mounted on the frame, and each suspended mold support frame is respectively mounted on the chain-type conveying unit and distributed sequentially along the direction of extension of the chain-type conveying unit. The chain-type conveying unit includes...
[0008] The drying zone for slurry molds dries the molds that pass through it.
[0009] The disassembled mold is dried in the drying area.
[0010] Both the slurry-containing mold drying area and the slurry-containing mold drying area are located inside the drying chamber, with the slurry-containing mold drying area situated above the slurry-containing mold drying area. Because these two areas are stacked vertically, they significantly save floor space, effectively reduce equipment requirements, greatly improve heat energy utilization, optimize production methods, and increase work efficiency. Furthermore, since frequent mold handling is unnecessary, it effectively reduces the labor intensity of operators and the energy consumption of the equipment.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the drying zone for the disassembled mold is 2-5 times the length of the drying zone for the mold containing slurry. This is because the drying time for the mold to be injected is significantly shorter than that for the disassembled mold, and since the drying zones for the mold containing slurry are vertically stacked, the height of the drying zone for the mold containing slurry needs to be minimized to avoid excessive height of the drying chamber. Therefore, the lengths of both zones also need to be set accordingly.
[0012] A better embodiment is that the slurry mold drying area includes at least one horizontally extending first straight conveyor section. When the number of first straight conveyor sections is greater than or equal to two, any two adjacent and interconnected first straight conveyor sections are connected by a first bent curve section.
[0013] A better embodiment is that the mold drying area in the disassembled state includes at least two horizontally extending second straight conveyor sections, and any two adjacent and interconnected second straight conveyor sections are connected by a second bent curve section.
[0014] A preferred embodiment is that the first side of the drying chamber is equipped with...
[0015] In the grouting mold delivery area, the dried and disassembled grouting molds are delivered (the operator can perform the following operations: remove the lower mold component and the upper mold component, remove the ceramic blank from the lower mold component, clean the lower mold component, install the upper mold component onto the lower mold component to form the grouting mold, and then put it back into the chain conveyor unit).
[0016] The area includes a slurry mold receiving zone to receive slurry molds. In other words, the operator can perform the operation of placing the slurry mold onto the chain conveyor unit located in the slurry mold receiving zone.
[0017] A preferred embodiment is that the second side of the drying chamber is equipped with...
[0018] In the mold operation area, the upper mold component is removed and placed next to the lower mold component containing the ceramic blank semi-finished product. In other words, the operator can perform the operation of removing the upper mold component from the mold and placing it next to the lower mold component containing the ceramic blank semi-finished product.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the chain conveying unit includes a drive unit, two conveying chains, and multiple sprocket drive units. Each sprocket drive unit includes a shaft and two sprockets. The shaft is rotatably mounted inside the drying chamber, and the two sprockets are respectively mounted on the shaft. The two conveying chains correspond one-to-one with the two sprockets of each sprocket drive unit. Each conveying chain is fitted onto all corresponding sprockets. The two conveying chains are arranged parallel to each other. All suspended mold support frames are suspended between the two conveying chains. The drive unit drives the shaft of one sprocket drive unit to rotate.
[0020] A better solution is that all suspended mold support frames are equipped with roller sets on the front and rear sides, each roller set including at least two rollers. Multiple track sets are installed on the frame, each track set including two parallel tracks set on the same horizontal plane. The track sets and the roller sets of any suspended mold support frame correspond one-to-one. Each track set is set below the first linear conveyor section or the second linear conveyor section respectively. When any sprocket drive unit moves to the first linear conveyor section or the second linear conveyor section, the rollers of the two roller sets of the suspended mold support frame roll along the two corresponding tracks respectively.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the drying chamber is equipped with at least one dehumidifier.
[0022] A better solution is to have multiple dehumidifiers located in the chain conveyor unit inside the drying chamber, with at least one dehumidifier provided in each area of the horizontal conveyor mold or the mold in the disassembled state.
[0023] The second objective of this invention is to provide an automated ceramic production line that optimizes the structure and simultaneously dries molds in both their filled and disassembled states. The technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0024] An automated ceramic production line includes a slurry injection molding device, characterized in that: the automated ceramic production line also includes the aforementioned multi-purpose drying equipment, and the slurry injection molding device is disposed on the first side of the drying chamber and located between the slurry mold delivery area and the slurry mold receiving area.
[0025] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are that, due to improvements in the mold conveying mechanism, the chain conveying unit located in the drying chamber is divided into a vertically stacked drying zone for molds containing slurry and a drying zone for molds in a disassembled state. Therefore, by utilizing the different lengths of the two zones, both disassembled molds and molds containing slurry can be dried simultaneously. This significantly saves floor space, effectively reduces equipment requirements, greatly improves heat energy utilization, optimizes production methods, and increases work efficiency. Since frequent mold handling is eliminated, the labor intensity of operators and the energy consumption of equipment are effectively reduced. The ceramic automated production line made using this multi-purpose drying equipment has a significantly reduced floor space, significantly lower costs, and significantly improved work efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a multi-purpose drying device in one embodiment of this application includes a frame 1, a drying chamber 2, a hot air supply mechanism 3, and a mold conveying mechanism 4. The drying chamber 2 and the mold conveying mechanism 4 are respectively mounted on the frame 1. The hot air supply mechanism 3 is mounted on the drying chamber 2 and communicates with the interior of the drying chamber 2 to supply hot air into it. The mold conveying mechanism 4 passes through the drying chamber 2. The mold conveying mechanism 4 includes a chain conveying unit 401 and multiple suspended mold support frames 402. The chain conveying unit 401 is mounted on the frame 1, and each suspended mold support frame 402 is respectively mounted on the chain conveying unit 401 and distributed sequentially along the extension direction of the chain conveying unit 401. The chain conveying unit 401 includes...
[0036] The slurry mold drying zone 4011 dries the slurry molds that pass through it.
[0037] The disassembled mold drying area 4012 dries the disassembled molds that have passed through it.
[0038] The slurry mold drying area 4011 and the slurry mold drying area 4012 are both located inside the drying chamber 2, with the slurry mold drying area 4012 located above the slurry mold drying area 4011. Because the slurry mold drying area 4012 and the slurry mold drying area 4011 are provided and stacked vertically, the floor space is significantly saved, equipment is effectively reduced, heat energy utilization is greatly improved, production methods are optimized, and work efficiency is increased. Since frequent mold handling is unnecessary, the labor intensity of operators and energy consumption of the equipment are effectively reduced.
[0039] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in one optional embodiment of this application, the disassembled mold includes an inverted upper mold component and a lower mold component containing a ceramic blank semi-finished product. It is obtained by disassembling and rotating the upper mold component (which contains the ceramic blank semi-finished product) after the slurry mold has been dried in the slurry mold drying zone 4011. To reduce processing steps and improve work efficiency, this application does not remove the ceramic blank semi-finished product for separate drying; instead, the ceramic blank semi-finished product is left inside the lower mold component for joint heating and drying.
[0040] The length of the mold drying area 4012 in the disassembled state is 2-5 times the length of the mold drying area 4011 containing slurry. Because the drying time for the mold containing slurry is significantly shorter than that for the mold in the disassembled state, and the mold drying areas 4012 and 4011 are stacked vertically, the height of the mold drying area 4012 needs to be minimized to avoid excessive height of the drying chamber. Therefore, the lengths of both areas also need to be set accordingly.
[0041] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in one alternative embodiment of this application, the length of the disassembled mold drying zone 4012 is three times the length of the slurry-filled mold drying zone 4011.
[0042] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the length of the disassembled mold drying zone 4012 is five times the length of the slurry-filled mold drying zone 4011.
[0043] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the length of the disassembled mold drying zone 4012 is twice the length of the slurry-filled mold drying zone 4011.
[0044] The slurry mold drying zone 4011 includes at least one horizontally extending first straight conveyor section 40111. When the number of first straight conveyor sections 40111 is greater than or equal to two, any two adjacent and interconnected first straight conveyor sections 40111 are connected by a first bent curve section 40112. Since the drying time of the mold to be injected is significantly shorter than the drying time of the mold in the disassembled state, and the slurry mold drying zone 4011 and the slurry mold drying zone 4011 are vertically stacked, the height of the slurry mold drying zone 4011 needs to be minimized to avoid the drying box being too tall.
[0045] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in one alternative embodiment of this application, the slurry mold drying zone 4011 includes a horizontally extending first straight conveyor section 40111.
[0046] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the slurry mold drying zone 4011 includes two first straight conveying sections 40111, and the two adjacent first straight conveying sections 40111 are connected by a first bent curve section 40112.

[0048] The mold drying area 4012 in the disassembled state includes at least two horizontally extending second straight conveyor sections 40121, and any two adjacent and interconnected second straight conveyor sections 40121 are connected by a second bent curve section 40122.
[0049] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in an alternative embodiment of this application, the mold drying area 4012 in the disassembled state includes two horizontally extending second straight conveyor sections 40121, which are connected by a second bent curve section 40122.
[0050] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the disassembled mold drying area 4012 includes five horizontally extending second straight conveyor sections 40121, and any two adjacent and interconnected second straight conveyor sections 40121 are connected by a second bent curve section 40122.
[0051] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 9 and 1, in one optional embodiment of this application, the drying chamber 2 has a first side provided with...

[0053] The receiving area B contains slurry molds and receives slurry molds. In other words, the operator can perform the operation by placing the slurry molds onto the chain conveyor unit 401 located in the receiving area B. The operator can perform the work manually or by operating electrically powered equipment.
[0054] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figures 9 and 1, in one optional embodiment of this application, the second side of the drying chamber 2 is provided with...
[0055] In mold operation area C, the upper mold component is removed and placed next to the lower mold component containing the ceramic blank semi-finished product. In other words, the operator can perform the operation: removing the upper mold component from the mold and placing it next to the lower mold component containing the ceramic blank semi-finished product. The operator can perform this work manually or by operating electrically powered equipment.
[0056] like Figure 5-7As shown, in one optional embodiment of this application, the chain conveying unit 401 includes a drive unit 4015, two conveying chains 4014, and multiple sprocket drive units 4013. Each sprocket drive unit 4013 includes a shaft and two sprockets. The shaft is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the two sprockets are respectively mounted on the shaft. The two conveying chains 4014 correspond one-to-one with the two sprockets of each sprocket drive unit 4013. Each conveying chain 4014 is fitted onto all corresponding sprockets. The two conveying chains 4014 are arranged parallel to each other. All suspended mold support frames 402 are suspended between the two conveying chains 4014. The drive unit 4015 drives the shaft of one sprocket drive unit 4013 to rotate. In this embodiment, the drive unit 4015 includes a servo motor and a chain drive mechanism, such as... Figure 6 As shown.
[0057] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this application, all suspended mold support frames 402 are provided with roller groups 4021 on their front and rear sides. Each roller group 4021 includes at least two rollers 40211. Multiple track groups 101 are installed on the frame 1. Each track group 101 includes two parallel tracks 1011 arranged on the same horizontal plane. The track groups 101 and the roller groups 4021 of any suspended mold support frame 402 are in one-to-one correspondence. Each track group 101 is respectively located below the first linear conveyor section 40111 or the second linear conveyor section 40121. When any sprocket drive unit 4013 moves to the first linear conveyor section 40111 or the second linear conveyor section 40121, the rollers 40211 of the two roller groups 4021 of the suspended mold support frame 402 roll along the two corresponding tracks 1011.
[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, in one optional embodiment of this application, all suspended mold support frames 402 include a frame 4022, a first hinge rod 4023 disposed on the front side of the frame 4022, a second hinge rod 4024 disposed on the rear side of the frame 4022, and a plurality of mold support seats 4025. The first hinge rod 4023 and the second hinge rod 4024 are rotatably mounted on two conveyor chains 4014 respectively, and all mold support seats 4025 are respectively mounted on the frame 4022.
[0059] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the drying chamber 2 is equipped with at least one dehumidifier.
[0060] In one alternative embodiment of this application, the number of dehumidifiers is multiple, and at least one dehumidifier is provided in each area of the chain conveyor unit 401 located in the drying chamber 2, for each horizontal conveyor mold or disassembled mold.
[0061] like Figure 9 As shown, in one alternative embodiment of this application, an automatic ceramic production line includes a slurry casting device 5. The automatic ceramic production line also includes the aforementioned multi-purpose drying equipment. The slurry casting device 5 is disposed on the first side of the drying chamber 2 and located between the slurry mold delivery area A and the slurry mold receiving area B.
[0062] like Figure 9 As shown, in one alternative embodiment of this application, the automated ceramic production line further includes...
