Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clay sculpting raw material production technology, specifically to a method for producing clay for clay sculpting. Background Technology

[0002] In the patent document with publication number "CN109624583A" and titled "A Resin Inlay Process for Encasing Clay Sculptures", the clay used for clay sculpting is disclosed. It is prepared by mixing 60-75 parts of diatomaceous earth, 10-15 parts of polyvinyl alcohol, 20-40 parts of mineral wax, 10-15 parts of anhydrous ethanol, and 3-6 parts of iron oxide powder. However, such clay for clay sculpting is prone to cracking in the finished clay sculpture products, which affects the product quality. In addition, the clay used in the prior art also has the disadvantage that the connecting parts of the sculpted clay sculptures are prone to breakage, which cannot meet the high-quality requirements of some clay sculpture products. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a method for making clay for clay modeling that can effectively prevent surface cracking and ensure that the connecting parts of the fine branches of the product are not easily broken.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a method for making clay for clay sculpture, comprising the following raw materials for making clay: 5-7 parts clay, 0.4-0.5 parts bone glue powder, 0.6-0.8 parts rubber powder, 0.7-0.9 parts rosin, and 0.8-1 parts soap granules; It also includes a 30-35% diluent by the total mass of the soil-forming raw materials, wherein the diluent is water; Use the following steps: S1: Add the raw material to the ball mill and grind for 6-12 hours to form a mixed powder; S2: Then mix the powders and add a diluent to make clay for clay sculpting.

[0005] Furthermore, in step S2, the soil-forming raw material also contains 0.3-0.5 parts of iron powder or aluminum powder, and 2-4% of potassium permanganate by weight of the iron powder or aluminum powder.

[0006] Furthermore, the raw material for soil formation also contains 0.3-0.5 parts of alumina powder.

[0007] Furthermore, the water in the diluent also contains 20-30% by weight of acidic butyl acrylate, wherein the acid is phosphoric acid containing 3% butyl acrylate.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the clay production method of this clay sculpting method has the advantages of effectively preventing cracking of the product surface and making the connecting parts of the fine branches of the product less prone to breakage. Detailed Implementation

[0009] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0010] The following are Examples 1-7; The table below shows the names and quantities of each group of raw materials in Examples 1-7 (unit: kilograms). The clay for sculpting is prepared according to the following process, and the clay obtained is the clay with the name mentioned above. S1: Add the raw material to the ball mill and grind for 6-12 hours to form a mixed powder; S2: Then, a diluent is added to the mixed powder to produce clay for clay sculpting.

[0011] The table below lists the names and corresponding properties of the various types of clay used for clay modeling. It should be noted that the rubber powder can be made from waste tire powder, for example, micro powder with a particle size of 0.1 mm.

[0012] Example 8 Repeat Examples 1-7 above; The difference is that in step S2, the raw material for forming clay also contains 0.3-0.5 parts of iron powder or aluminum powder, and 2-4% of potassium permanganate by weight of 0.3-0.5 parts of iron powder or aluminum powder is added. The resulting material is the eighth type of clay for clay sculpting, and clay sculptures made from this eighth type of clay are eighth type clay sculptures. The eighth type of clay sculpture has the advantage that the finer parts are not easily broken, such as tree branches and other clay sculpture parts.

[0013] Conclusion: The raw materials used to make clay also contain 0.3-0.5 parts of iron powder or aluminum powder, and 0.3-0.5 parts of potassium permanganate (2-4% by weight of iron powder or aluminum powder) are added. The resulting clay sculpture has the advantage of being less prone to breakage in the finer parts.

[0014] Example 9 Repeat Examples 1-8 above; The difference is that in step S2, the raw material for making clay also contains 0.3-0.5 parts of alumina powder. The resulting material is the ninth type of clay for clay sculpting, and clay sculptures made from this ninth type of clay are ninth type clay sculptures. The ninth type of clay sculpture has the advantages of having no air bubbles on its surface and being less prone to water absorption.

[0015] Conclusion: The raw material for making clay also contains 0.3-0.5 parts of alumina powder, 0.3-0.5 parts of iron powder or aluminum powder, and 2-4% potassium permanganate by weight of iron powder or aluminum powder. The clay sculpture made has the advantages of no air bubbles on the surface and not easily absorbing water (i.e., it can remain dry in a humid environment).

[0016] Example 10 Repeat Examples 1-9 above; The difference is that in step S2, the water in the diluent also contains 20-30% by weight of acidic butyl acrylate, and the acid is phosphoric acid containing 3% butyl acrylate. The resulting material is the tenth type of clay for sculpting, and clay sculptures made from this tenth type of clay are tenth type clay sculptures. The tenth advantage of clay sculpture is that the pigments on the surface of the clay sculpture are not easily detached.

[0017] Conclusion: The diluent also contains 0.2-0.4 parts of acidic butyl acrylate, wherein the acid is phosphoric acid containing 3% butyl acrylate, which has the advantage of not easily causing the pigments on the surface of the clay sculpture to fall off.

[0018] Although this invention proposes an improvement solution to the problems of the prior art, there may still be considerable room for improvement. For example, it still has the disadvantage that some components are easily damaged. High-quality products can be selected, but we should not insist on perfection or pursue flawlessness, nor should we demand completeness or perfection. Instead, we should recognize that this invention has solved the basic problems and is conducive to the advancement of technology.

[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
