Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of art ceramics processing technology, and in particular to a device for precisely controlling water replenishment during art ceramics processing. Background Technology

[0002] Art ceramics emphasize aesthetic design and craftsmanship. Compared to ordinary daily-use ceramics, their bodies are often irregularly shaped curved surfaces and thin-walled structures, requiring a higher degree of precision in processing. After the ceramic body completes the drying process, tool marks and loose powder remain on the surface, necessitating a surface moistening and wiping process. This process directly affects the subsequent glazing effect and the final firing yield. The amount and uniformity of surface moistening are core aspects of controlling product quality.

[0003] Currently, the water replenishment process in art ceramics processing generally relies on manual hand-held sponge wiping. Workers need to repeatedly soak the sponge in clean water, manually squeeze out excess water, and then wipe the ceramic body one by one. This traditional operation method requires repeated soaking and squeezing of the sponge, which is labor-intensive. Workers are prone to deformities due to long-term operation, which amplifies the problem of uneven water replenishment. In order to solve the above problems, this invention proposes a precise control water replenishment device for art ceramics processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a device for precisely controlling water replenishment in the processing of art ceramics, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A precision-controlled water replenishment device for art ceramics processing includes a mounting base plate, a mounting frame, a control box, a water replenishment cylinder, a control rod, a fixing plate, and a control panel. A third motor is fixedly connected to the top of the water replenishment cylinder, and a placement rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor. First motors are fixedly connected to both side walls of the mounting frame, and threaded rods are fixedly connected to the output shafts of the first motors. A movable seat is threadedly connected to the side wall of the threaded rod. A lifting plate is mounted on the lower end of the movable seat via a first electric push rod. A second motor and a rotating shaft are respectively provided on the side walls of the lifting plate. A drive gear and a transmission gear are fixedly connected to the side walls of the second motor output shaft and the rotating shaft, respectively. A shaped component is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft via a rotating block, and a sponge is glued to the side wall of the shaped component. A third electric push rod is mounted on the top of the mounting frame via a vertical rod, and a positioning plate is rotatably connected to the output end of the third electric push rod. A cleaning mechanism for cleaning the sponge is provided on the upper end of the mounting base plate.

[0007] The cleaning mechanism includes two cleaning boxes and two water pumps fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base plate. Two water injection pipes are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box. Multiple nozzles are connected to the side wall of the water injection pipes. A water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet end of the water pump. The water injection pipe and the water outlet pipe are connected. A water receiving box is fixedly connected to the cleaning box. Overflow grooves are opened on multiple side walls of the cleaning box. A first sewage pipe and a water inlet pipe are provided on the cleaning box and communicate with its interior. A positioning mechanism for positioning the blank is provided on the side wall of the fixed plate.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a second electric push rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate, and the output end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to an irregularly shaped limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, an aeration fan is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box, and an aeration pipe is connected to the air outlet of the aeration fan. The aeration pipe has an F-shaped cross-section, and multiple one-way valves are provided on both sides of the aeration pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting plate, the lifting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and a drive gear and a transmission gear are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor and the side wall of the rotating shaft, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, both inner walls of the water supply cylinder are provided with inclined surfaces, and the lower end of the water supply cylinder is connected to a second drain pipe.

[0012] Preferably, a laser rangefinder is installed at the lower end of the movable seat, and a speed sensor is installed at the lower end of the lifting plate via an installation assembly.

[0013] Preferably, multiple nozzles on the side wall of the water injection pipe are arranged at equal intervals, and the nozzles are arranged at an angle.

[0014] Preferably, a control switch is installed at the upper end of the control lever, and the irregularly shaped part is made of stainless steel.

[0015] Preferably, the two cleaning boxes are symmetrically distributed relative to the central axis of the water supply cylinder, and the cleaning boxes are also made of stainless steel.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This device is equipped with a cleaning mechanism that uses mechanical structure to clean and rotate the sponge to control water, replacing the repetitive actions of repeatedly soaking and squeezing the sponge manually, reducing the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, it can thoroughly clean the porcelain mud and fine sand on the surface and deep pores of the sponge through a combination of high-pressure water rinsing and rotation soaking, avoiding the clogging of the sponge pores and the resulting decrease in water absorption capacity. This ensures that the water absorption state of the sponge remains stable each time it is used, thereby achieving precise control of water replenishment for the art ceramic blank and reducing problems such as uneven water replenishment and scratches on the blank surface caused by abnormal sponge condition.

[0018] 2. This device is equipped with a positioning mechanism, which includes a second electric push rod and an irregularly shaped limiting plate. With the help of the irregularly shaped limiting plate, the irregularly shaped ceramic blank can be quickly positioned, reducing the operational deviation caused by manual adjustment of the blank position, ensuring that the contact angle and contact range between the blank and the sponge are consistent, so that the blank is evenly watered, further improving the water replenishment accuracy and meeting the requirements of fine processing of art ceramics.

[0019] 3. This device is equipped with a dual cleaning box and two sponge wipes working alternately. While one sponge wipes the blank, the other sponge wipes simultaneously completes the cleaning and water control work. There is no need to wait for the sponge to finish for a long time, the operation is more seamless, and the overall processing efficiency is improved.

[0020] 4. This device is equipped with an aeration pipe. The F-shaped aeration pipe can generate bubbles on both sides. The bubbles on both sides rush towards the middle. With the one-way valve that opens at an angle, the bubbles can penetrate into the tiny pores inside the sponge, disturbing the fine sand and mud stuck in the pores and improving the deep cleaning effect.

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a precision water supply control device for art ceramic processing includes a mounting base plate 1, a mounting frame 2, a control box 3, a water supply cylinder 27, a control rod 11, a fixing plate 16, and a control panel 32. The mounting frame 2, the water supply cylinder 27, the control rod 11, and the fixing plate 16 are all fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1. The mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the control box 3, and the control rod 11 is fixedly connected to the control panel 32.

[0031] A third motor 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the water supply cylinder 27. The output shaft of the third motor 30 is fixedly connected to a placement rod 28. A first motor 4 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame 2. A threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4. A movable seat 6 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the threaded rod 5. A lifting plate 33 is installed at the lower end of the movable seat 6 through a first electric push rod 9. A second motor 12 and a rotating shaft 35 are respectively provided on the two sides of the lifting plate 33. The second motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 33, and the rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 33. A drive gear and a transmission gear are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 12 and the side wall of the rotating shaft 35, respectively. The upper end of the movable seat 6 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. When the threaded rod 5 rotates, the mounting frame 2 limits the movable seat 6, so that the movable seat 6 cannot rotate and can only move horizontally.

[0032] This allows the sponge 15 to rotate, with each side taking turns facing the bubble impact zone and water flow impact zone of the aeration pipes 24 on both sides, receiving 360° uniform rinsing from bubbles and high-speed water flow, completely solving the problem of single-sided cleaning deviation when placed vertically.

[0033] The lower end of the rotating shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the irregular part 14 via the rotating block 13. The side wall of the irregular part 14 is glued to the sponge 15. The top of the mounting frame 2 is equipped with a third electric push rod 19 via the vertical rod 7. The output end of the third electric push rod 19 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 18. The vertical rod 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2 and the third electric push rod 19 respectively.

[0034] The upper end of the mounting base plate 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the sponge 15. The cleaning mechanism includes two cleaning boxes 10 and two water pumps 23 fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base plate 1. Two water injection pipes 20 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 10. Multiple nozzles 21 are connected to the side wall of the water injection pipes 20. The water outlet of the water pump 23 is connected to the water outlet pipe. The water injection pipes 20 are connected to the water outlet pipes. The water injection pipes 20 have an L-shaped cross-section. A water receiving box 22 is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 10. A third drain pipe is connected to the side wall of the water receiving box 22. Figure 6 (As shown), valves are provided on the first drain pipe 26, the second drain pipe 29 and the third drain pipe. Overflow grooves are opened on more than one side wall of the cleaning box 10. The cleaning box 10 is equipped with a first drain pipe 26 and a water inlet pipe 37 that are connected to its interior.

[0035] The side wall of the fixed plate 16 is provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning the blank. The positioning mechanism includes a second electric push rod 17 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 16, and an irregularly shaped limiting plate 36 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric push rod 17.

[0036] In this invention, an aeration blower 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning box 10. An aeration pipe 24 is connected to the air outlet of the aeration blower 25. The aeration pipe 24 has an F-shaped cross section. Multiple one-way valves are provided on both sides of the aeration pipe 24. Bubbles simultaneously rush towards the middle of the cleaning box 10 from the left and right sides, and bubbles are evenly released in segments. When the equipment stops, the sewage in the cleaning box 10 will be discharged through the first sewage pipe 26, and the aeration blower 25 will be the last to stop.

[0037] In this invention, both inner walls of the water supply cylinder 27 are provided with inclined surfaces, and the lower end of the water supply cylinder 27 is connected to a second drain pipe 29;

[0038] The inner wall of the water supply cylinder 27 is sloped, so water will not accumulate in the corners. The water can flow down the slope to the bottom and then be discharged through the second drain pipe 29, avoiding the long-term retention of water and the generation of impurities.

[0039] In this invention, a laser rangefinder 8 is installed at the lower end of the movable seat 6, and a speed sensor 34 is installed at the lower end of the lifting plate 33 via an installation assembly.

[0040] The laser rangefinder 8 can detect the moving distance of the moving seat 6, ensuring that the sponge 15 remains in the same position next to the cleaning box 10 and the blank each time it moves; the speed sensor 34 can monitor the rotation speed of the sponge 15, making it easy to control the rotation status during the washing and spin-drying stages.

[0041] In this invention, multiple nozzles 21 are equally spaced on the side wall of the water injection pipe 20, and the nozzles 21 are inclined.

[0042] The evenly spaced nozzles 21 ensure a uniform water spray range. The water is tilted towards the center of the sponge 15, allowing the water to penetrate the entire thickness of the sponge and, together with the air bubbles, remove loose dirt. The entire cleaning structure does not have any hard objects in contact with or puncture the sponge 15, which protects the sponge's original elasticity and extends its service life.

[0043] In this invention, a control switch 31 is installed on the upper end of the control lever 11, and the irregular part 14 is made of stainless steel.

[0044] An independent control switch 31 is added, allowing staff to start and stop the equipment nearby, making operation more flexible; the stainless steel irregular part 14 is water-resistant and resistant to mud and sand corrosion, and is not easy to rust or be damaged in humid conditions.

[0045] In this invention, the two cleaning boxes 10 are symmetrically distributed relative to the central axis of the water supply cylinder 27, and the cleaning boxes 10 are also made of stainless steel.

[0046] The symmetrically arranged cleaning boxes 10 match the overall layout of the device, and the working strokes of the two sponge wipes 15 are basically the same, making it easy to control the work rhythm. The stainless steel cleaning boxes 10 are waterproof and corrosion resistant, making daily cleaning and maintenance easier.

[0047] In the initial state, the water pump 23 is connected to the external water storage tank through a pipe, the water inlet pipe 37 is connected to the external water system through a pipe, the cleaning tank 10 is filled with water, and the water level is below the overflow tank. The first drain pipe 26, the second drain pipe 29 and the third drain pipe are connected to the external sewage system through pipes. The output end of the third electric push rod 19 retracts, and the blank on the placement rod 28 is removed. In addition, at a suitable position in this device, all the above-mentioned driving components (referring to power components, electrical components, etc.) and the matching power supply are connected through wires. The electrical components are electrically connected in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the electrical control will not be described.

[0048] During use, the staff places the art ceramic blank on the placement rod 28, and adjusts the position of the blank while the positioning plate 18 is lowered by the third electric push rod 19, so that the positioning plate 18 can smoothly enter the blank and be pressed against it, thereby fixing the position of the blank.

[0049] The staff activates control switch 31, and one of the sponge wipes 15 moves towards its corresponding cleaning box 10. After the sponge wipe 15 moves above the cleaning box 10, the first electric push rod 9 is activated, which moves the sponge wipe 15 downward into the cleaning box 10. During the downward movement of the sponge wipe 15, the water pump 23 on the side wall of the cleaning box 10 is activated, and water flows out through the water injection pipe 20 and the nozzle 21, and the high-speed water flow washes away the dirt on the surface of the sponge wipe 15. At the same time, the second motor 12 is activated, and the output shaft of the second motor 12 is driven by the drive gear and the transmission gear, which drives the rotating shaft 35, the irregular part 14 and the sponge wipe 15 to rotate at a low speed, so that the mud and sand attached to the surface of the sponge wipe 15 are fully washed away by the water flow.

[0050] After the surface is rinsed, the sponge 15 is completely submerged in the water in the cleaning tank 10 for a short period of time. After soaking, the first electric push rod 9 drives the sponge 15 to rise above the water surface while still inside the cleaning tank 10. The second motor 12 continues to run, driving the sponge 15 to rotate at high speed for a certain period of time, and using centrifugal force to throw out the excess water inside the sponge 15.

[0051] After the water is removed, the sponge 15 moves away from the cleaning box 10 and towards the blank at the water replenishment cylinder 27. Finally, the sponge 15 adheres to the side wall of the blank. Then, the third motor 30 starts, and the output shaft of the third motor 30 drives the placement rod 28 and the blank held in place by the positioning plate 18 to rotate. The stationary sponge 15 wipes and replenishes water on the rotating blank. After each sponge 15 finishes wiping the blank, it resets. The third electric push rod 19 drives the positioning plate 18 to reset, and the worker can then remove the processed blank.

[0052] While one sponge 15 is wiping the blank, another sponge 15 has already entered the corresponding cleaning box 10. The cleaning operation is completed simultaneously according to the steps of rinsing, soaking, and rotating to spin water. After the previous blank is removed, the next blank can be quickly put in for wiping to ensure continuous operation. The time for the two sponges 15 to spin dry is set to a uniform value. The rotation speed is controlled by the speed sensor 34 to ensure that the moisture content left by the sponge 15 after spin drying is consistent, stabilize the water replenishment of the blank, and achieve precise water replenishment.

[0053] Secondly, while the sponge 15 is soaking in the water in the cleaning box 10, the aeration fan 25 can be started. The aeration fan 25 delivers airflow to the aeration pipe 24. The one-way valves on both sides of the F-shaped aeration pipe 24 spray out fine bubbles. The bubbles penetrate the pores of the sponge 15 at an angle and go deep inside to flush out the embedded fine sand and mud, further improving the overall cleaning effect of the sponge 15.

[0054] In addition, before placing the billet on the placement rod 28, the second electric push rod 17 can be activated first. The output end of the second electric push rod 17 extends, driving the irregularly shaped limiting plate 36 to move towards the placement rod 28. When the worker places the billet on the placement rod 28, the billet can be directly attached to the inner wall of the irregularly shaped limiting plate 36 to complete the quick positioning without the need for repeated manual adjustments. After the positioning plate 18 enters the interior of the billet and completes the clamping, the output end of the second electric push rod 17 retracts, and the irregularly shaped limiting plate 36 resets, waiting for the next billet to be positioned.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
