Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glazing and dipping equipment technology, and more specifically, to a multi-station automatic ceramic glazing and dipping equipment with automatic loading and unloading capabilities. Background Technology

[0002] A search revealed Chinese patent number CN202420597301.6, which discloses a ceramic glazing device comprising a base, a hollow column, a first motor, a second motor, a first support arm, an electric cylinder, a second support arm, a push rod, a conveyor, a baffle, and a glaze tank. In use, ceramic products are glazed as they are flipped in and out of the glaze tank. The piston rod of the electric cylinder extends, releasing the push rod from clamping the ceramic product, which then rests on the support plate. After a specified time, as the support plate passes the baffle, a rubber block pushes the ceramic product from the support plate onto the conveyor. The conveyor then transports the ceramic product to the next step. The support plate continues to move through the through-hole. This ceramic glazing device automatically unloads glazed ceramic products using the baffle and conveyor, eliminating the need for manual unloading and reducing labor costs, thus providing a better user experience.

[0003] However, the above solution still has its drawbacks. It requires manual placement of the ceramic workpiece on the support plate, after which the piston rod of the electric cylinder retracts, causing the lower end of the push rod to press against the inner cavity of the ceramic workpiece. This operation not only wastes manpower, but also has the problem of the ceramic workpiece not being placed on the support plate in time, causing the support plate to spin idly.

The piston rod end of the fourth electric cylinder 1966 is fixed on the outer wall of the clamping arm 1967. A control box is fixedly installed on the base 110. The control box is used to control the operation of the motor 131, the first electric cylinder 133, the dual output shaft motor 140, the vision device 180, the first conveyor 190, the second conveyor 194, the second electric cylinder 1962, the third electric cylinder 1964 and the fourth electric cylinder 1966.

[0021] Specifically, the working principle of this multi-station automatic ceramic glazing and dipping equipment with automatic loading and unloading is as follows: During use, glaze is injected into the glaze tank 150. According to the model of the ceramic workpiece, the abutment rod 134 is moved, adjusting the distance between the upper end of the abutment rod 134 and the upper end of the first support arm 132. After adjustment, the abutment rod 134 is held in place, and the locking member 137 is rotated. The end of the locking member 137 presses against the outer wall of the abutment rod 134, fixing the abutment rod 134 onto the first support arm 132. The dual-output shaft motor 140 drives the hollow column 120 to rotate, thus rotating the first support arm 132. The dual-output shaft motor 140 also drives the belt drive component 161 to rotate. The rotating column 162 and stirring blade 163 are driven to rotate. The rotation of stirring blade 163 effectively prevents glaze sedimentation. The ceramic workpiece moves with the second support arm 135 and the stop rod 134. When the ceramic workpiece moves to the glaze tank 150, the motor 131 starts working. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 131 drives the second support arm 135 and the stop rod 134 to flip, that is, the ceramic workpiece flips in and out of the glaze tank 150, realizing the glazing and dipping of the ceramic workpiece. After a specified time, the piston rod of the first electric cylinder 133 extends to release the stop rod 134 from clamping the ceramic workpiece. The ceramic workpiece is above the support plate 136. When the support plate 136 passes the baffle 191, the baffle 191 stops the ceramic workpiece. At the same time, the support plate 136... 6. After passing through baffle 191, when vision device 180 detects that there is no ceramic workpiece on support plate 136, vision device 180 transmits a signal to second conveyor 194, second electric cylinder 1962, third electric cylinder 1964, and fourth electric cylinder 1966. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of second electric cylinder 1962 causes clamping arm 1967 to move up and down; the extension and retraction of the piston rod of third electric cylinder 1964 causes clamping arm 1967 to move laterally; and the extension and retraction of the piston rod of fourth electric cylinder 1966 causes the two clamping arms 1967 to move closer or further apart. Under the combined action of vision device 180, second electric cylinder 1962, third electric cylinder 1964, and fourth electric cylinder 1966, the two clamping arms 1967 clamp and release the ceramic workpiece. The ceramic workpiece is placed on the support plate 136. Then, the first electric cylinder 133 operates. The retraction of the piston rod of the first electric cylinder 133 drives the bottom end of the push rod 134 to abut against the inner cavity of the ceramic workpiece. The second conveyor 194 transports the ceramic workpiece on the mounting base 195 forward. This multi-station automatic ceramic glazing and dipping equipment with automatic loading and unloading does not require manual placement of the ceramic workpiece on the support plate 136, and there is no situation where the ceramic workpiece is not placed on the support plate 136 in time. It effectively prevents the support plate 136 from spinning idly and has a high degree of automation. In addition, a dual-output shaft motor 140 can realize the synchronous rotation of the hollow column 120 and the stirring blade 163, saving motor resources and bringing a better user experience.
