Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic processing, in particular to an automatic glazing device for ceramic products. Background Art

[0002] The glazing process of ceramic products plays a very important role in the ceramic production process. It can not only enhance the aesthetics and decorativeness of ceramic products, but also increase the strength and durability of ceramic products. The body of ceramic products refers to the unglazed ceramic matrix, which is usually made of ceramic raw materials through molding, drying and firing processes. The glaze layer is the key part of the glazing process. It is a coating mixed with glass materials and pigments. After glazing, it is fired at high temperature to form a hard glaze surface. The texture, color and transparency of the glaze layer determine the appearance and performance of the ceramic product. The corresponding glazing device is needed in this process, such as an automatic glazing device for ceramic products disclosed in the authorization announcement No. CN218504822U, including a glaze pool, the top of the glaze pool is fixedly connected to a mounting frame, the bottom of the mounting frame is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting groove is provided with an adjustment component, the bottom of the adjustment component is provided with two electric telescopic rods, the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a placement rack, one side of the glaze pool is fixedly connected to a dust removal platform, the adjustment component includes a guide rod fixedly connected between the inner walls at both ends of the mounting groove, and a screw rod rotating between the inner walls at both ends of the mounting groove, which can be adjusted through the setting of the adjustment component. This is to avoid the staff from holding the ceramic body for glazing and reduce the impact on health caused by direct contact of glaze slurry with the human body. However, in this technical solution, the ceramic products are mainly placed on a placement rack, and then the placement rack and the ceramic workpiece are immersed in the glaze pool together. However, there is one or more contact surfaces between the bottom of the ceramic workpiece and the placement rack. When the ceramic workpiece and the placement rack are immersed in the glaze pool together, the contact surface will affect the uniform coating of the glaze at the contact surface, resulting in uneven thickness of the glaze layer at the contact surface, and even glaze leakage or uneven glaze layer, thereby affecting the appearance quality of the ceramic workpiece, and in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process, uneven sintering or sintering residues will appear at the contact surface, thereby affecting the overall quality and strength of the ceramic workpiece.

[0017] 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. 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.

[0018] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: an automatic glazing device for ceramic products, comprising a base 1, a back plate 2 and a right-angle frame 3 fixed to one side of the top of the base 1, a truss 9 is fixed to the top of the base 1 on one side of the right-angle frame 3, a vertical plate 5 is installed on one side of the top of the right-angle frame 3 for lifting, and a glaze box 4 is installed on the top of the right-angle frame 3 on one side of the vertical plate 5, a Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 is installed on one side of the top of the right-angle frame 3, and the top of the piston rod of the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the vertical plate 5;

[0019] A ceramic clamping mechanism 8 for clamping the mouth and body of a ceramic product is installed on the outer wall of the vertical plate 5 close to the glaze box 4. The staff places the ceramic product to be glazed just above the glaze box 4 and uses the ceramic clamping mechanism 8 to stably clamp the main ceramic product. At this time, the ceramic clamping mechanism 8 mainly clamps the mouth or bottleneck of the ceramic product, so that the bottom of the ceramic product faces the glaze box 4.

[0020] A PLC control panel 7 is installed on one side of the surface of the right-angle frame 3, the output end of the PLC control panel 7 is electrically connected to the input end of the ceramic component clamping mechanism 8, and the input end of the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 7;

[0021] The Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 is turned on through the PLC control panel 7 to work, and the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 actively pulls the vertical plate 5, the ceramic clamping mechanism 8 and the clamped ceramic product downward until the ceramic product is immersed in the glaze box 4, so that the outer surface of the ceramic product is covered with a layer of glaze;

[0022] The ceramic component clamping mechanism 8 includes a support column 801 fixed on the outer wall of one side of the vertical plate 5, and a longitudinal plate 802 fixed at the top of the support column 801, short shafts 804 are rotatably installed at both ends of the longitudinal plate 802, a gear transmission structure 805 is installed between the two short shafts 804, and a swing arm 806 is fixed at the top of each short shaft 804. An electric push rod 803 is hinged on the outer wall of the longitudinal plate 802 on one side close to the vertical plate 5, and the input end of the electric push rod 803 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 7. The top of the piston rod of the electric push rod 803 is hinged to the top of one of the swing arms 806, and a right angle frame 807 is fixed to the bottom end of the swing arm 806. An arc-shaped inner groove 808 is provided on the outer wall of the side where the two right angle frames 807 are close to each other;

[0023] When the ceramic workpiece clamping mechanism 8 clamps the ceramic workpiece, the electric push rod 803 pushes one of the swing arms 806, and the swing arm 806 drives the short shaft 804 to rotate, while the other short shaft 804 rotates synchronously in the opposite direction under the drive of the gear transmission structure 805, so that the two swing arms 806 and the right-angle frames 807 are close to each other, and then the two right-angle frames 807 use the arc-shaped inner groove 808 to firmly fix the ceramic workpiece. Through clamping and positioning, the glazing process can be simplified and the additional process steps for processing the contact surface can be reduced.

[0024] The right angle frame 807 is made of rubber material, and the right angle frame 807 made of rubber material can reduce the clamping damage to the workpiece;

[0025] A connecting plate 10 is slidably mounted on both sides of the top of the truss 9, and opposing clamping units are mounted on both sides of the top of the connecting plate 10. An X-axis screw linear module 11 for pulling the connecting plate 10 and the opposing clamping unit to move is mounted on one side of the top of the truss 9, and the input end of the X-axis screw linear module 11 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 7;

[0026] The opposing clamping unit includes a Y-axis cylinder 12 installed on one side of the top end of the connecting plate 10, and a clamping arm 13 installed on the top end of the piston rod of the Y-axis cylinder 12. The input end of the Y-axis cylinder 12 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 7. When the ceramic workpiece needs to be moved out of the glazing area, the clamping arm 13 is moved by the Y-axis cylinder 12, and then the two clamping arms 13 are driven by the Y-axis cylinder 12 to approach each other until the main ceramic workpiece is clamped. Then the ceramic clamping mechanism 8 is released, and the connecting plate 10, Y-axis cylinder 12, clamping arm 13 and ceramic workpiece and other components are driven by the X-axis screw linear module 11 to move, so that the ceramic workpiece gradually moves away from the glaze box 4. After waiting for a period of time, the ceramic workpiece can be removed.

[0027] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, the staff first places the ceramic product to be glazed just above the glaze box 4, and uses the ceramic part clamping mechanism 8 to stably clamp the main ceramic product. At this time, the ceramic part clamping mechanism 8 mainly clamps the bottle mouth or bottleneck of the ceramic product, so that the bottom of the bottle of the ceramic product faces the glaze box 4. Then the staff starts the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 through the PLC control panel 7 to work, and the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 actively pulls the vertical plate 5, the ceramic part clamping mechanism 8 and the clamped ceramic product downward until the ceramic product is immersed in the glaze box 4, so that the outer peripheral surface of the ceramic product is covered with a layer of glaze. After the glazing is completed, the Z-axis lifting cylinder 6 pushes the vertical plate 5, the ceramic part clamping mechanism 8 and the ceramic product upward, so that the ceramic product hovers for a period of time, and then the staff starts the opposite clamping again. The unit works, at this time, the opposing clamping unit fixes the ceramic product, and the ceramic clamping mechanism 8 releases the ceramic product, and the X-axis screw linear module 11 works synchronously, and the X-axis screw linear module 11 pulls the connecting plate 10, the opposing clamping unit, and the ceramic product to move horizontally, so that the ceramic product is away from the glaze box 4 and the staff performs the unloading operation of the ceramic product. In this process, the body of the ceramic workpiece is completely immersed in the glaze box through clamping and positioning, which can effectively avoid the appearance of contact surface, thereby ensuring that the glaze is evenly coated on the surface of the ceramic workpiece, avoiding uneven glaze thickness, glaze leakage or uneven glaze layer, improving the uniformity and consistency of the glazing operation, and the complete glaze surface is beneficial to the sintering effect during the sintering process, avoiding uneven sintering or sintering residues at the contact surface, and improving the overall quality and strength of the ceramic workpiece.
