Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramics, and more particularly to a ceramic raw material batching system, batching method, and application. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic tiles are plate-shaped ceramic products made from inorganic non-metallic raw materials such as clay through molding and sintering. They are mainly used for the decoration and protection of building walls and floors. The raw materials for ceramic tiles are mineral sands and gravels, which are generally formed in nature. However, because there are many types of mineral sands and gravels available for ceramic tile production, and the properties of the raw materials vary greatly, such as uneven hardness, directly mixing these raw mineral sands and gravels can lead to significant differences in the finished ceramic tiles. This is especially true when ceramic tiles are mixed in large batches. Due to the significant time difference between batches of mineral sands and gravels mixed earlier and later, the environments in which different batches of mineral sands and gravels were subjected to may differ. This can lead to differences in the slurry made from the entire batch of mineral sands and gravels, resulting in poor stability of the slurry and affecting the quality of the subsequently produced ceramic tiles, leading to instability in the quality of the ceramic tiles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic raw material batching system in which the raw materials sequentially pass through a feeding and mixing device, a homogenization and aging device, and a discharging and mixing device. The feeding and mixing device distributes the raw materials layer by layer in a flat manner into the homogenization bin of the homogenization and aging device. The homogenization bin then outputs the raw materials simultaneously through multiple hoppers to different discharge conveyor belt mechanisms, and then simultaneously outputs the raw materials to the same converging conveyor belt mechanism.

In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 A ceramic raw material batching system includes: a feeding and mixing device 1, a homogenization and aging device 2, and a discharging and mixing device 3; The homogenization and aging device 2 includes: a homogenization chamber 21 and a feeding hopper 22; The homogenization chamber 21 is provided with a homogenization cavity 211 in the shape of a cuboid; the feeding and mixing device 1 is provided in the opening above the homogenization cavity 211; the input ends above the plurality of feeding hoppers 22 are connected to the opening below the homogenization cavity 211. The feeding and mixing device 1 includes: a raw material conveying mechanism 11, a reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12, and a conveyor belt drive mechanism 13; The raw material conveying mechanism 11 is used to output raw materials to the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12; the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is horizontally movably installed on the homogenization chamber 21, and the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is used to output raw materials to the homogenization chamber 21; the output end of the conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 is connected to the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12, and is used to drive the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move horizontally back and forth, so that the raw materials are laid layer by layer in the homogenization chamber 211; The discharge mixing device 3 includes: a discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 and a collection conveyor belt mechanism 32; Multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31 are distributed sequentially along the length direction of the homogenization chamber 211. The conveying end of each discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 is located below the feeding hopper 22 and is used to receive the raw materials output from the opening below the feeding hopper 22. The conveying end of the summing conveyor belt mechanism 32 is located below the multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31 and is used to simultaneously receive the raw materials from the multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31.

[0021] This solution provides a ceramic raw material batching system. The raw materials sequentially pass through a feeding and mixing device 1, a homogenization and aging device 2, and a discharging and mixing device 3. The feeding and mixing device 1 distributes the raw materials layer by layer in a flat manner into the homogenization bin 21 of the homogenization and aging device 2. The homogenization bin 21 then simultaneously outputs the raw materials through multiple discharge hoppers 22 to different discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31, and then simultaneously outputs the raw materials to the same converging conveyor belt mechanism 32. This enables the storage of raw materials and large-scale homogenization and aging, thereby maximizing the performance and formula uniformity of the product raw materials and improving the stability of large-scale raw material batching. This solves the problem of poor slurry stability caused by the large component differences of sand and gravel in ceramic tile production and the resulting unevenness in batching.

[0022] Specifically, the feeding and mixing device 1 is equipped with a raw material conveying mechanism 11, which receives raw materials and outputs them to a reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12. The reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is a known conveyor belt structure, and the raw materials fall freely to the homogenization chamber 21 at the end of its conveyor belt. The homogenization chamber 21 is equipped with a homogenization cavity 211, the internal contour of which is a cuboid (including a cube, which is a special type of cuboid). The advantage of the cuboid homogenization cavity 211 is that the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 can be installed above the opening of the homogenization cavity 211. On the one hand, the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 can be installed above the opening of the homogenization cavity 211, and the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 can move along the homogenization cavity 211. 1. The length extension direction moves; on the other hand, when the raw material is free from the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12, it can fall directly below the conveying end. When the conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move back and forth, it can spread the raw material layer by layer in the homogenization chamber 211. The homogenization chamber 211 is used to homogenize and age the raw material. After the raw material is left to stand in the homogenization chamber 21 for a period of time (e.g., 72 hours), the saturation degree of the raw material molecules reaches a relatively uniform optimal state. Since the raw material is laid layer by layer in the homogenization chamber 211, the raw material at a specific height layer can meet the usage standards according to the order of entering the chamber. The opening below the homogenization chamber 211 is provided with multiple feeding hoppers 22. 2. The raw materials can be output vertically to the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31, facilitating smooth and direct access to the flat-laid raw materials. Since multiple hoppers 22 face the same conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31, one or more hoppers 22 simultaneously drop raw materials to the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31, ensuring that the raw materials of the same layer in the homogenization chamber 21 fall quickly to the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31. This avoids discontinuity in the raw materials that are pre-laid layer by layer in the homogenization chamber 21, ensuring that the falling raw materials maintain the same degree of homogenization and ensuring consistent usage standards. Furthermore, there are multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31, which are distributed along the length of the homogenization chamber 211. Different discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31 correspond to different horizontal positions of the homogenization chamber 211. Multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31 can simultaneously receive raw materials from different horizontal positions of the homogenization chamber 211, ensuring that the raw materials in the homogenization chamber 21 are discharged layer by layer. The multiple discharge conveyor belt mechanisms 31 then output the raw materials to the collection conveyor belt mechanism 32. In this way, a layer of homogenized raw materials that meet the usage standards are completely taken out from the homogenization chamber 21 and transferred to the collection conveyor belt mechanism 32. The collection conveyor belt mechanism 32 outputs the raw materials to the required position. In this way, this solution can homogenize and age raw materials in large quantities and simultaneously to maximize the uniformity of the performance and formula of the product raw materials, thereby improving the stability of the raw materials.

[0023] The conveyor belt structures used in this scheme, such as the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12, the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31, and the converging conveyor belt mechanism 32, are known conveyor belt devices. Generally, a servo motor directly or indirectly drives the drive wheel to rotate. The conveyor belt connects the drive wheel and the driven wheel to rotate synchronously. The drive wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate under the action of the conveyor belt. As the drive wheel rotates, the conveyor belt rotates. The conveyor belt moves horizontally in the horizontal section to form the conveying end of the conveyor belt structure, thereby driving the raw material on the conveyor belt to move horizontally. The raw material falls to the next mechanism at the horizontal end of the conveyor belt.

[0024] The conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 is a known mechanism with the function of driving horizontal movement, such as a combination of cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, motor and lead screw, gear and chain gear, gear and rack, etc., as long as it can drive the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move horizontally. Taking the gear and rack as an example, the rack extends along the length of the homogenizing bin 21, the gear and rack mesh, and the motor that drives the gear to rotate is installed in the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12. The motor drives the gear to rotate, which drives the gear to move relative to the rack, thus realizing the movement of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 in the homogenizing bin 21.

[0025] Alternatively, the homogenization and aging device 2 may further include: a hopper switching device 23; The hopper switch device 23 is installed in the opening below the hopper 22; the hopper switch device 23 is communicatively connected to the discharge mixing device 3; when the hopper switch device 23 is opened, the hopper 22 exposes the opening below, and the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 receives the raw material falling from the hopper 22.

[0026] The hopper switch device 23 blocks the opening below the hopper 22. The hopper switch device 23 can be controlled to open or close the opening below the hopper 22 as needed. When the hopper switch device 23 is open, the raw material in the homogenization bin 21 can be output through the hopper 22 to the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 below. The conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 maintains horizontal movement. Based on the communication connection between the hopper switch device 23 and the discharge mixing device 3, the system can control the opening state of the hopper switch device 23, control the opening ratio of the hopper 22, and link it to control the conveying state of the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31. For example, it can control the conveying speed and direction of the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31, so that the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 adapts to the optimal conveying speed of the hopper 22, controlling the material feeding process. When the feeding speed and conveying speed are similar, it is more conducive to outputting the raw material in a flat manner to the conveying end of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31.

[0027] The hopper switching device 23 is a known mechanism for controlling the discharge of powder. For example, in one embodiment, the hopper switching device 23 adopts a mechanical valve structure, and a horizontal actuator drives the slide gate valve mechanism to move. Controlling the movement of the slide gate valve switching mechanism can realize the control of the opening and closing state of the hopper 22. In another embodiment, the hopper switching device 23 is a rotary discharge valve, which realizes the quantitative discharge of raw materials through rotation.

[0028] The communication connection method here refers to the communication established between connected devices through signal transmission and interaction, which can be divided into wired connection and wireless connection; wired connection is such as conventional data cable connection; wireless connection is such as conventional WiFi, Bluetooth, infrared, NFC, etc.

[0029] Alternatively, the hopper switching device 23 can be optimized to be a pneumatic powder cone valve.

[0030] This solution preferably uses a pneumatic powder conical valve. Generally, the pneumatic powder conical valve has a female valve and a male valve. The female valve has a conical sealing surface, which can be located in the opening below the feed hopper 22. The male valve is an axially movable conical plug, and its external taper is precisely matched with the taper of the inner wall of the female valve. The valve opening, closing and flow regulation are realized through the precise fit of the conical structure. The conical structure of the pneumatic powder conical valve can effectively prevent material bridging, ensure that the raw materials are completely discharged, and ensure that the raw materials in the homogenization bin 21 can be discharged layer by layer, so as to maximize the performance of the product raw materials and the uniformity of the formula.

[0031] Optimally, the top of the homogenization chamber 21 is provided with a fabric guide rail 24; the fabric guide rail 24 extends along the length direction of the homogenization cavity 211; the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is provided with a moving part 25, the moving part 25 is movably installed on the fabric guide rail 24, and the conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move on the fabric guide rail 24, so that the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 moves horizontally to the left and right ends of the homogenization cavity 211.

[0032] The homogenization chamber 211 has a cuboid outline, and a cloth guide rail 24 extending along the length direction can be installed on its inner wall. The width direction of the homogenization chamber 211 is close to the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12. The reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is installed on the cloth guide rail 24 through a moving part 25, which can be a wheel structure or a slider, etc. The conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move on the cloth guide rail 24, thereby driving the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move horizontally at both ends of the homogenization chamber 21 in the length direction. Combined with the continuous reception of raw materials at the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12, the raw materials are discharged at the end of the conveying end, and the raw materials can be spread flat on the homogenization chamber 21.

[0033] Optimally, multiple feeding hoppers 22 are distributed in multiple rows and columns below the opening of the homogenization chamber 211; there are multiple summing conveyor belt mechanisms 32, and the conveying end of each summing conveyor belt mechanism 32 is located below at least one row or at least one column of the feeding hoppers 22; the conveying directions of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 and the summing conveyor belt mechanism 32 are parallel.

[0034] Multiple hoppers 22 are arranged in a multi-row and multi-column array below the opening of the homogenization cavity 211. They can be distributed along the length and width of the homogenization cavity 211 to maximize the reception of raw materials falling from the homogenization cavity 211 along its length. The size of the hoppers 22 can also be designed to fully fill the opening of the homogenization cavity 211. There are multiple collection conveyor belt mechanisms 32. One column, multiple columns, one row, or multiple rows of hoppers 22 correspond to one collection conveyor belt mechanism 32. Since the conveying directions of the discharge conveyor belt mechanism 31 and the collection conveyor belt mechanism 32 are parallel, a single collection conveyor belt mechanism 32 can simultaneously receive raw materials from one column, multiple columns, one row, or multiple rows of hoppers 22. Multiple collection conveyor belt mechanisms 32 can simultaneously output raw materials from one layer, so as to directly remove the entire layer of flat raw materials, thereby maximizing the performance and consistency of the product raw materials and formula.

[0035] Alternatively, the raw material conveying mechanism 11 can be optimized to be a conveyor belt structure; The raw material conveying mechanism 11 is located above the homogenization chamber 21 and above the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12; the raw material conveying mechanism 11 is located in the middle of the homogenization chamber 21; the conveying end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11 and the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 move back and forth along the length direction of the homogenization chamber 211; the conveyor belt driving mechanism 13 drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move, so that one end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is close to the end of the homogenization chamber 211 and located obliquely below the raw material conveying mechanism 11, and the other end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is located directly below the raw material conveying mechanism 11.

[0036] The raw material conveying mechanism 11 is a conveyor belt structure, similar in structure to the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12. Its servo motor can drive the drive wheel to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise; therefore, the conveyor belt can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. That is, the conveying end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11 and the conveying end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 move back and forth along the length of the homogenization chamber 211, thus conveying raw materials in either the forward or reverse direction. The raw material conveying mechanism 11 is located above the middle of the homogenization chamber 21. The conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move along the length of the homogenization chamber 211. In one of the states, such as... Figure 1One end of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 is located diagonally below and to the right of the raw material conveying mechanism 11, while the other end is located directly below the raw material conveying mechanism 11. At this time, the raw material conveying mechanism 11 can convey raw material to the right, and the raw material falls to the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 from the right side of the conveying end, where the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 receives the raw material. Similarly, when the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 moves to diagonally below and to the left of the raw material conveying mechanism 11, the raw material conveying mechanism 11 can convey raw material to the left, and the raw material falls to the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 from the left side of the conveying end. Thus, the cooperation between the raw material conveying mechanism 11 and the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 ensures the continuity of the raw material during flattening, so that the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 can receive raw material at both ends of the homogenization chamber 211.

[0037] Alternatively, the feeding and mixing device 1 may include: a feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14; The feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14 is located above the feeding end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11, and the feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14 is used to output raw materials to the feeding end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11.

[0038] Similar to the raw material conveying mechanism 11, the feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14 is preferably a conveyor belt structure; the feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14 can be used to provide raw materials to the raw material conveying mechanism 11; there can be multiple feeding conveyor belt mechanisms 14, the conveying direction can be at different angles, and raw materials can be received from different areas of the workshop. The end of the conveying end of the feeding conveyor belt mechanism 14 is located above the end of the conveying end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11, and the raw materials fall to the raw material conveying mechanism 11 at the end of the conveying end.

[0039] Optimally, it also includes: a weighing device 4 and a mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5; The feeding and mixing device 1, the homogenizing and aging device 2, and the discharging and mixing device 3 form the raw material feeding unit 01; The number of raw material feeding units 01 is one or more, and the homogenization bin 21 of each raw material feeding unit 01 stores one type of raw material; the detection end of the weighing device 4 is provided with a weighing conveyor belt 41; the weighing device 4 is installed below the conveying end of the summing conveyor belt mechanism 32, and the weighing conveyor belt 41 is used to receive the raw materials from the summing conveyor belt mechanism 32; the conveying ends of multiple weighing conveyor belts 41 are located above the conveying end of a single mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5, and the weighing conveyor belt 41 is used to output one type of raw material to the conveying end of the mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5.

[0040] Multiple weighing devices 4 are installed below the conveying end of the collecting conveyor belt mechanism 32. The conveying end of the collecting conveyor belt mechanism 32 receives raw materials from multiple discharging conveyor belt mechanisms 31, and the collecting conveyor belt mechanism 32 outputs the raw materials to the weighing devices 4. The weighing devices 4 are known mechanisms with weighing functions. They can detect weight changes to obtain the weight of the raw materials falling onto the weighing conveyor belt 41. The weighing conveyor belt 41 then outputs one type of raw material to the conveying end of the mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5. Since each raw material has been weighed, the proportion of the formula is input to the control panel. Each raw material falls proportionally from its raw material feeding unit 01 to the mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5. The mixing conveyor belt mechanism 5 then outputs all raw materials to a designated position, thereby realizing the proportional batching of materials. Furthermore, the uniformity of the performance and formula of the same raw material solves the problem of decreased stability of the finished product due to differences in performance and formula when the same raw material is batched in large quantities.

[0041] A method for batching ceramic finished products, using the above-mentioned ceramic raw material batching system, includes: a feeding and mixing step, a homogenization and aging step, and a discharging and mixing step; Feed mixing includes the following steps: S1: The conveying end of the raw material conveying mechanism 11 receives one of the raw materials; S2: The raw material conveying mechanism 11 outputs the raw material to the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12. The raw material of the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 falls into the homogenization chamber 211 of the homogenization bin 21. The conveyor belt drive mechanism 13 synchronously drives the reciprocating conveyor belt mechanism 12 to move along the length direction of the homogenization bin 21, so that the raw material is laid layer by layer in the homogenization chamber 211. Homogenization and aging process: After the raw materials have been left to stand in the homogenization chamber 21 for a specified time, the homogenization chamber 21 becomes available for use. Conventional raw materials exhibit significant moisture content deviations, with dry materials showing approximately 1%-10% and wet materials approximately 15-20%. Direct use results in poor uniformity and a tendency to clump, affecting the accuracy of batching. However, the homogenization chamber 21 in this solution can homogenize and age the raw materials layer by layer. Taking a three-day settling period as an example, after approximately 72 hours of settling, the adsorbed water on the surface of the mineral raw materials changes over time. The water in the gaps between the particles reaches a stable equilibrium, for example, a water saturation of approximately 10-12%. This moisture content perfectly meets the requirements of the specific product, making batching and metering more accurate and ensuring the consistency of the product's raw material performance and formulation.
