DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 In an embodiment of the utility model, a moisturizing conveyor for a ceramic cup blank comprises a base 1 of a cylindrical structure, an upper cover 3 is installed at the upper open end of the base 1, a fan-shaped opening is provided between the base 1 and the upper cover 3, the fan-shaped opening extends from the top of the upper cover 3 to the middle of the base 1, and a slide groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the middle part of the base 1.

[0020] It also includes a conveying mechanism 4 arranged between the base 1 and the upper cover 3, which is used for intermittently rotating and blocking the fan-shaped opening; the conveying mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 401, the upper end of the rotating shaft 401 is rotatably connected to the bottom center of the base 1 through a bearing, the upper end of the rotating shaft 401 passes through the outer wall of the upper cover 3, and is rotatably connected to the upper cover 3 through a bearing, the top of the rotating shaft 401 is fixedly connected to a first gear 402, a disc-shaped turntable 406 is installed in the middle of the rotating shaft 401, the upper end of the turntable 406 is provided with a plurality of rotating blades 403 in an equidistant annular array with the rotating shaft 401 as the axis, and the outer edge of the turntable 406 is provided with a slip ring 408 matched with the slide groove 12, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 401 is fixedly connected to a fixed ring seat 404, the outer wall of the fixed ring seat 404 is symmetrically connected to two shielding plates 405, and the two shielding plates 405 are respectively located at both ends of the fan-shaped opening;

[0021] It also includes a motor 5 installed on the top of the upper cover 3, the driving end of the motor 5 is connected to the second gear 51, the second gear 51 is meshed with the first gear 402, a semi-circular water pipe 6 is provided on the outside of the motor 5, and a plurality of equally distributed atomizing nozzles 61 are provided at the lower end of the water pipe 6, and the plurality of atomizing nozzles 61 are all passed through the top of the upper cover 3 and extend into the inner cavity of the base 1; a through hole 31 is opened on the top of the upper cover 3 for the atomizing nozzle 61 to pass through.

[0022] In this embodiment: a moisturizing chamber is formed by constructing the base 1 and the upper cover 3, and then the moisturizing liquid is transported to the water pipe 6 through an external water pump (it should be noted that in this solution, the water pipe 6 is connected to the moisturizing liquid storage tank through an external water pump), and then the atomizing nozzle 61 at the lower end of the water pipe 6 sprays the water mist into the moisturizing chamber. During this period, the ceramic cup embryo can be intermittently rotated and transported by the conveying mechanism 4, and the rotating blade 403 on the conveying mechanism 4 is also used to cover the fan-shaped opening of the moisturizing chamber to ensure that the moisturizing chamber has a certain degree of airtightness, avoid water mist overflow and pollute the workshop, and can also recover the remaining moisturizing liquid.

[0023] Specifically, the multiple rotating blades 403 in the present solution divide the turntable 406 into multiple partition spaces. The worker places the ceramic cup embryo in the partition area above the turntable 406 outside the moisturizing chamber, and then drives the second gear 51 to rotate through the motor 5. The rotating second gear 51 will mesh and drive the first gear 402 to rotate, and then drive the shaft 401 to rotate with the turntable 406, so that the turntable 406 outside the moisturizing chamber is rotated and transported into the moisturizing chamber. The ceramic cup embryo in the moisturizing chamber will contact with the diffused water mist. At the same time, the ceramic cup embryo is placed in the partition area of ​​the adjacent turntable 406 outside the moisturizing chamber, and then the ceramic cup embryo just placed is transported to the moisturizing chamber by rotating the turntable 406. After continuous placement and transportation, the ceramic cup embryo previously in the moisturizing chamber will be transported to one end of the fan-shaped opening, and the worker will then take down the moisturized ceramic cup embryo; such continuous intermittent transportation can be performed continuously on a large number of ceramic cup embryos, and the work efficiency is greatly improved compared with the existing moisturizing method.

[0024] It should be noted that among the multiple partition spaces equally divided by the multiple rotating blades 403 and the rotating disk 406, at least one partition space is located at the fan-shaped opening. In addition, the rotation angle of the rotating disk 406 should be matched with the angle of a single partition space (the partition space is fan-shaped), so that the rotating disk 406 can be intermittently rotated at equal angles. After each rotation, the corresponding two rotating blades 403 will be respectively blocked at the two ends of the fan-shaped opening to ensure that the moisturizing chamber remains relatively airtight.

[0025] By opening a fan-shaped opening between the base 1 and the upper cover 3, and then setting a conveying mechanism 4 in the cavity constructed by the base 1 and the upper cover 3, the conveying mechanism 4 is used to rotate and convey the ceramic cup embryo, and the rotating blade 403 in the conveying mechanism 4 is also used to block the fan-shaped opening, so as to ensure that the ceramic cup embryo can be humidified and moisturized in a relatively closed space with constant humidity. In order to further improve the working efficiency, multiple ceramic cup embryos can be placed on the fan-shaped pallet in advance, and then the pallet can be dragged or lifted by the robot to realize the batch transfer of the ceramic cup embryos.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 The conveying mechanism 4 also includes a plurality of water leakage grooves 407 that penetrate through the turntable 406 , and the plurality of water leakage grooves 407 are evenly distributed on the turntable 406 .

[0027] In this embodiment: when the atomizing nozzle 61 sprays water mist, the water mist diffuses in the moisturizing chamber, and part of the diffused water mist will contact the ceramic cup embryo and evenly adhere to its outer wall. The water mist that is not in contact with the ceramic cup embryo will gather into water droplets and flow into the bottom of the base 1 through the leakage groove 407, thereby effectively avoiding the accumulation of waste liquid on the upper surface of the turntable 406.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 The shielding plate 405 is in a "7"-shaped structure, and the outer end of the shielding plate 405 is closely attached to the fan-shaped opening wall, and the inner end of the shielding plate 405 is close to the rotating blade 403 and the shape and size are matched.

[0029] In this embodiment: the shielding plate 405 is used to shield the gap between the rotating blade 403 and the fan-shaped opening, so as to cooperate with the rotating blade 403 to provide a relatively closed shielding of the fan-shaped opening, thereby preventing the overflow of water mist from affecting the workshop environment to a certain extent.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 A barrel-shaped water tank 2 is installed at the lower end of the base 1, and the upper opening of the water tank 2 is connected to the bottom end of the base 1; a plurality of evenly distributed through holes 11 are opened on the bottom end surface of the base 1, and the inner cavity of the water tank 2 is connected with the inner cavity of the base 1 through the through holes 11; a filter cotton 7 is laid on the inner bottom end surface of the base 1, and the filter cotton 7 is located above the through holes 11.

[0031] In this embodiment: during the moisturizing process, the water mist will mix with the powder residue on the ceramic cup embryo and drip onto the upper surface of the turntable 406, and then flow into the bottom of the base 1 through the leakage groove 407. After the waste liquid is filtered by the filter cotton 7, a large amount of powder residue contained in the waste liquid will be blocked, and then the waste liquid will be purified. The cleaner waste liquid will pass through the filter cotton 7 and flow into the water tank 2 through the through hole 11 for collection so as to be recycled and reused.

[0032] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
