Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ceramic teaware technology, and more specifically, to a printing and coloring mechanism for ceramic teaware and a ceramic raw material preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] The preparation process of ceramic raw materials mainly includes batching, ball milling, and sieving to remove iron. Batching refers to weighing various raw materials according to the formula requirements using an electronic scale feeding system, mixing them, and loading them into the ball mill cylinder. Ball milling involves adding water to the ball mill cylinder with the raw materials and then grinding them. The principle of ball milling is to use the impact and friction of the balls in the cylinder to grind the clay particles to achieve the required fineness. After the ball-milled slurry meets the fineness requirements, it is sieved to remove coarse particles and tailings. Then, according to the molding method, the slurry is poured into molds, filtered to form clay strips, or spray-granulated to produce dry powder. Ceramic bowls are commonly used in teaware. Ceramic bowls are made from shaped clay and fired at high temperatures. The shaping of ceramic bowls involves rolling the clay in a mold or hand-forming by an operator. To improve the aesthetics of ceramic bowls, printing and coloring processes are also performed. Currently, ceramic printing machines are commonly used to print and color ceramic bowls. However, during the printing and coloring process, the operator needs to flip the bowl over to print and color both the inner and outer surfaces. Furthermore, the operator needs to constantly move the bowl during loading and unloading, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

During use, the operator sits or stands beside the machine, then places the ceramic bowl, mouth down, onto the positioning block. The rotation of the second motor output shaft drives the pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the belt and slider to rotate. The slider moves the ceramic bowl forward. The rotation of the first motor output shaft drives the printing head to rotate, and the extension and retraction of the first cylinder piston rod moves the printing head up and down. The printing head achieves printing and coloring on the ceramic printing machine. When the ceramic bowl moves directly below the first photoelectric switch, the first… The photoelectric switch detects the presence of the ceramic bowl. The first photoelectric switch transmits a signal to the control terminal, which then stops the second motor and starts the third motor. The third motor rotates the second horizontal plate, moving the first photoelectric switch away from directly above the ceramic bowl, facilitating the printing head to apply color to the bowl. Through the combined action of the first photoelectric switch, the third motor, the first motor, the first cylinder, and the ceramic printing machine, the outer surface of the ceramic bowl is printed. Afterward, the second motor continues to operate, returning the first photoelectric switch and the printing head to their initial positions. The ceramic bowl then moves directly below the second photoelectric switch. At this time, the second photoelectric switch detects the presence of the ceramic bowl and transmits a signal to the control terminal. The control terminal then controls the second motor to stop working and the second, fourth, and third cylinders to start operating. The piston rod of the second cylinder moves down a specified distance, and the third cylinder moves the clamping blocks, causing the two clamping blocks to hold the ceramic bowl. The piston rod of the second cylinder retracts, moving the ceramic bowl up to a specified height. The output shaft of the fourth motor rotates, causing the ceramic bowl to rotate 180 degrees. Then, the piston rod of the second cylinder moves down, placing the ceramic bowl into the positioning block. The piston rod of the third cylinder retracts, releasing the ceramic bowl. The piston rod of the second cylinder moves upward a specified distance, preventing the locking block from touching the ceramic bowl. The second motor then operates, and following the steps described above, the inner surface of the ceramic bowl is printed and colored under the combined action of another first photoelectric switch, the second coloring structure, and the ceramic printing machine. The printing and coloring mechanism of this ceramic tea set can automatically flip the ceramic bowl, eliminating the need for an operator to flip it. This allows for printing and coloring on both the inner and outer surfaces of the ceramic bowl. Furthermore, the loading and unloading of the ceramic bowl does not require the operator to move back and forth; the operator can complete the operation while sitting or standing, saving time and effort and providing a better user experience.

Through liquid phase batching, it eliminates the influence of raw material moisture fluctuations and has good uniformity, ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the chemical composition of the raw material formula.

[0048] Specifically, the working principle of the printing and coloring mechanism of this ceramic tea set is as follows: During use, the operator sits or stands next to the machine housing 110, then places the ceramic bowl 180 with its opening facing down onto the positioning block 176. The rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 171 drives the pulley 172 to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 172 drives the belt 173 and the slider 175 to rotate. The slider 175 moves the ceramic bowl 180 forward. The rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 151 drives the printing head 154 to rotate. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 153 causes the printing head 154 to move up and down. The printing head 154 achieves printing and coloring on the ceramic printing machine 140. When the ceramic bowl 180 moves directly below the first photoelectric switch 1904, the first photoelectric switch 1904 detects the presence of the ceramic bowl 180. The first photoelectric switch 1904 transmits a signal to the control terminal, which then controls the second motor 171 to stop working and controls the third motor 1902 to start working. The third motor 1902 drives the second horizontal plate 1903 to rotate, causing the first photoelectric switch 1904 to move away from directly above the ceramic bowl 180, facilitating the printing head 154 to print and color the ceramic bowl 180. Under the combined action of the first photoelectric switch 1904, the third motor 1902, the first motor 151, the first cylinder 153, and the ceramic printing machine 140, the outer surface of the ceramic bowl 180 is printed and colored. Afterward, the second motor 171 continues to work, causing the first photoelectric switch 1904 and the printing head 154 to return to their initial positions. When the ceramic bowl 180 moves to the second photoelectric switch 1904... When the ceramic bowl 180 is directly below 922, the second photoelectric switch 1922 detects its presence and transmits a signal to the control terminal. The control terminal then controls the second motor 171 to stop working and the second cylinder 1912, the fourth motor 1913, and the third cylinder 1915 to start operating. The piston rod of the second cylinder 1912 moves down a specified distance, and the third cylinder 1915 moves the locking block 1916, clamping the ceramic bowl 180 between the two locking blocks 1916. The piston rod of the second cylinder 1912 retracts, moving the ceramic bowl 180 up to a specified height. The output shaft of the fourth motor 1913 rotates, causing the ceramic bowl 180 to rotate 180 degrees. Afterward, the piston rod of the second cylinder 1912 moves down, placing the ceramic bowl 180 onto the positioning block 176. Inside, the piston rod of the third cylinder 1915 retracts, releasing the ceramic bowl 180. The piston rod of the second cylinder 1912 moves upward a specified distance, preventing the locking block 1916 from touching the ceramic bowl 180. The second motor 171 operates. Following the above steps, under the combined action of another first photoelectric switch 1904, the second coloring structure 160, and the ceramic printing machine 140, the inner surface of the ceramic bowl 180 is printed and colored. The printing and coloring mechanism of this ceramic tea set can automatically flip the ceramic bowl 180, meaning that the operator does not need to flip the ceramic bowl 180. This achieves printing and coloring on both the inner and outer surfaces of the ceramic bowl 180. Furthermore, the loading and unloading of the ceramic bowl 180 does not require the operator to move back and forth; the operator can complete the operation while sitting or standing.It saves time and effort, providing users with a better user experience.

The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
