Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tile processing equipment, in particular to a tile processing device. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic tiles are building or decorative materials, commonly used for floor and wall decoration of buildings. Large ceramic tiles need to be cut into small tiles after leaving the factory. For example, during the renovation process, since the floor plan of a building is usually irregular in shape, the edges and corners often require tiles of specific sizes, which requires cutting of large tiles. In order to ensure that the cut tiles are of the required size, workers usually use a ruler to measure to mark the fixed points and draw lines. Then, the workers use cutting tools to cut the large tiles according to the marked cutting lines. However, manual marking has low stability, and the hands will shake during the marking process. Moreover, the longer the line, the greater the possibility that the marked cutting line will deviate, resulting in deviations in the size of the cut tiles, making the cut tiles unusable and causing waste of resources.

[0003] In addition, because ceramic tiles are made of a mixture of materials such as clay and quartz sand, large tiles are heavy. Manual cutting is more physically demanding, and workers often hold the tiles with their hands for stability during cutting, which poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are provided for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 8 A tile processing device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. The device is used to mark cutting lines on a large tile, allowing it to be subsequently cut into multiple small tiles of predetermined sizes based on the cutting lines on the large tile surface. The device includes a main body 10, a conveying unit 20, and a marking unit 30.

[0032] Specifically, the device body 10 includes a first mounting portion 11. The conveying unit 20 includes a first conveying mechanism 21. The first mounting portion 11 has a first starting end 1101 and a first ending end 1102 opposite to the first starting end 1101. The first conveying mechanism 21 is mounted on the first mounting portion 11 and is used to convey tiles from the first starting end 1101 to the first ending end 1102.

[0033] In one example, the first transport mechanism 21 is implemented as a conveyor.

[0034] The marking unit 30 includes at least one first marking mechanism 31 mounted on the first mounting portion 11 . The first marking mechanism 31 includes a first marking pen 311 , the tip of which faces the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 21 .

[0035] Specifically, the first marking pen 311 is mounted on the first mounting portion 11, with the tip of the first marking pen 311 positioned along the path of the tile as it is transported from the first starting end 1101 to the first ending end 1102. In other words, the first marking pen 311 marks the cut line on the tile as it is transported from the first starting end 1101 to the first ending end 1102. Due to the heavy weight of the tile, the position between the tile and the first conveying mechanism 21 does not change randomly during the marking process. Furthermore, the first marking pen 311 remains fixed during the marking process, ensuring a straight cut line is marked on the tile.

[0036] Preferably, the first marking mechanism 31 further includes a first vertical drive member 312. The first marking pen 311 is drivingly connected to the first vertical drive member 312 and is movably mounted on the first mounting portion 11 so as to be vertically movable by the first vertical drive member 312. The first vertical drive member 312 drives the first marking pen 311 vertically toward the first conveying mechanism 21 so that the tip of the first marking pen 311 is located along the path of the tiles as they are conveyed from the first starting end 1101 to the first ending end 1102. In this manner, the tiles are marked by the first marking pen 311 while being conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 21. It is worth noting that because the first vertical drive member 312 can vertically raise and lower the first marking pen 311, the height of the first marking pen 311 can be adjusted, enabling the first marking mechanism 31 to mark tiles of varying thicknesses.

[0037] In one example, the first vertical driving member 312 is implemented to include a motor.

[0038] Preferably, the first marking mechanism 31 also includes a first distance adjustment member 313. The first marking pen 311 is drivingly connected to the first distance adjustment member 313. The first distance adjustment member 313 is configured to drive the first marking pen 311 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21, thereby adjusting the position of the first marking pen 311 relative to the tile. In other words, the operator can adjust the horizontal position of the first marking mechanism 31 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21 according to actual needs, so as to subsequently cut small tiles of the desired size.

[0039] In one example, the first distance adjusting member 313 is implemented to include a cylinder.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the marking unit 30 is equipped with multiple first marking mechanisms 31, and the multiple first marking mechanisms 31 are spaced apart along a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21. In this way, as the tiles are conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 21 from the first starting end 1101 to the first ending end 1102, the multiple first marking mechanisms 31 can simultaneously mark the tiles, resulting in multiple spaced-apart cutting lines on the tile surface, thereby improving the marking efficiency of the marking unit 30.

[0041] Furthermore, the tile processing device also includes a direction adjustment unit 40.

[0042] Specifically, the adjustment unit 40 includes a first adjustment mechanism 41. The first adjustment mechanism 41 includes a first supporting member 411, a first height adjustment member 412 and a first steering member 413. The first supporting member 411 is arranged at one end of the first mounting portion 11 to form the first end portion 1102. The first height adjustment member 412 and the first steering member 413 are connected, and the first supporting member 411 is connected to the first height adjustment member 412 or the first steering member 413. The first height adjustment member 412 is used to drive the first supporting member 411 to move vertically, and the first steering member 413 is used to drive the first supporting member 411 to rotate along the horizontal plane. When the first supporting member 411 is flush with the upper surface of the first conveying mechanism 21, the first supporting member 411 can receive the tiles removed from the first end portion 1102. After the tiles are transferred to the upper surface of the first supporting member 411, the first height adjustment member 412 drives the first supporting member 411 and the tiles it carries to move upward, so that the tiles lose contact with the conveying unit 20, and then the first steering member 413 drives the first supporting member 411 and the tiles it carries to rotate a preset angle.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 21 is capable of driving the tiles back and forth between the first starting end 1101 and the first ending end 1102. Specifically, after the first direction adjustment mechanism 41 drives the tiles to rotate in the same direction by a preset angle, the first height adjustment member 412 drives the first supporting member 411 and the tiles it carries downward, allowing some of the tiles to overlap the first conveying mechanism 21. The first conveying mechanism 21 then transports the tiles from the first ending end 1102 toward the first starting end 1101, allowing the first marking mechanism 31 to mark the tiles again.

[0044] In one example, the first height adjustment member 412 is implemented as a cylinder; and the first steering member 413 is implemented to include a motor.

[0045] Furthermore, the device body 10 also includes a second mounting portion 12, which has a second starting end 1201 and a second ending end 1202 disposed opposite the second starting end 1201. The conveying unit 20 also includes a second conveying mechanism 22, which is mounted on the second mounting portion 12. The second conveying mechanism 22 is used to convey tiles from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202. The marking unit 30 includes at least one second marking mechanism 32. The second marking mechanism 32 is mounted on the second mounting portion 12 and is used to draw cutting lines on the tiles.

[0046] In a modified embodiment, the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21 intersects with the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22, and the first terminal end 1102 formed by the first mounting portion 11 is adjacent to the second starting end 1201 formed by the second mounting portion 12. In this case, the first direction adjustment mechanism 41 is not provided in the direction adjustment unit 40. In this manner, the end of the second conveying mechanism 22 corresponding to the second starting end 1201 receives the tiles removed from the first conveying mechanism 21, and then the second marking mechanism 32 marks the tiles again during the process of the second conveying mechanism 22 conveying the tiles from the second starting end 1201 to the second terminal end 1202.

[0047] In another variant embodiment, the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21 is parallel to and identical to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22. The first adjustment mechanism 41 is disposed between the first terminal end 1102 formed by the first mounting portion 11 and the second starting end 1201 formed by the second mounting portion 12. After the first adjustment mechanism 41 rotates the tiles by a predetermined angle, the first height adjustment member 412 drives the first support member 411 and the tiles it carries downward, causing the tiles to partially overlap the upper surface of the second conveying mechanism 22. In this manner, the second conveying mechanism 22 drives the tiles toward the second terminal end 1202, where they are marked by the second marking mechanism 32 during the conveying process.

[0048] In one example, the second transport mechanism 22 is implemented as a conveyor.

[0049] Specifically, the second marking mechanism 32 includes a second marking pen 321 mounted on the second mounting portion 12. The tip of the second marking pen 321 faces the upper surface of the second conveying mechanism 22 and is located along the path of the tiles as they are conveyed from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202. As a result, the second marking pen 321 marks the tiles as they are conveyed from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202, thereby re-marking the tiles.

[0050] Preferably, the second marking mechanism 32 also includes a second vertical drive member 322. A second marking pen 321 is drivingly connected to the second vertical drive member 322 and is slidably mounted on the second mounting portion 12 so as to be vertically movable by the second vertical drive member 322. The second vertical drive member 322 drives the second marking pen 321 vertically toward the second conveying mechanism 22, causing the tip of the second marking pen 321 to move into the path of the tiles as they are conveyed from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202. In this way, the tiles are marked by the second marking pen 321 as they are conveyed from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202 by the second conveying mechanism 22. The height of the second marking pen 321 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the tiles, enabling the second marking mechanism 32 to mark tiles of varying thicknesses.

[0051] In one example, the second vertical driving member 322 is implemented to include a motor.

[0052] Preferably, the second marking mechanism 32 also includes a second distance adjustment member 323. The second marking pen 321 is drivingly connected to the second distance adjustment member 323. The second distance adjustment member 323 is configured to drive the second marking pen 321 to move horizontally, perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor mechanism 22, so that the position of the second marking pen 321 relative to the tile can be adjusted. In other words, the operator can adjust the horizontal position of the second marking mechanism 32, perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveyor mechanism 22, according to processing requirements to cut small tiles of a predetermined size.

[0053] In one example, the second distance adjusting member 323 is implemented to include a cylinder.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the marking unit 30 is equipped with multiple second marking mechanisms 32, and the multiple second marking mechanisms 32 are spaced apart in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22. In this way, when the tiles are conveyed by the second conveying mechanism 22 from the second starting end 1201 to the second ending end 1202, the multiple first marking mechanisms 31 can simultaneously mark the tiles, resulting in multiple spaced-apart cutting lines on the tile surface, thereby improving the marking efficiency of the marking unit 30.

[0055] Furthermore, the tile processing device also includes a cutting unit 50.

[0056] Specifically, the cutting unit 50 includes a first cutting mechanism 51. The first cutting mechanism 51 includes a first cutting component 511, and the first cutting component 511 includes a first cutting piece 5111. The first cutting piece 5111 is configured to cut the tile along the cutting line marked on the tile by the first scribing mechanism 31.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first cutting member 511 is mounted on the first mounting portion 11 and is closer to the first terminal end 1102 than the first scribing mechanism 31. The cutting direction of the first cutting member 5111 is the same as the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 21. That is, while the tiles are being conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 21, the first scribing mechanism 31 first marks a cutting line on the tiles, and then the first cutting member 511 cuts the tiles along the cutting line marked by the first scribing mechanism 31 to obtain small tiles of a predetermined size.

[0058] As a deformable embodiment, the first cutting component 511 is mounted on the second mounting portion 12. The first cutting component 511 also includes a first driving member 5112 and a first belt-moving member 5113. The first driving member 5112 is connected to the first belt-moving member 5113, and the first cutting member 5111 is mounted on the first driving member 5112 or the first belt-moving member 5113. The first driving member 5112 is used to drive the first cutting member 5111 to move horizontally perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22, and the first belt-moving member 5113 is used to drive the first cutting member 5111 to move vertically toward or away from the upper surface of the second conveying mechanism 22. When the second conveying mechanism 22 drives the tiles to move directly below the first cutting mechanism 51, the first belt-moving member 5113 drives the first cutting member 5111 to move downward so that the cutting edge of the first cutting member 5111 is close to the cutting line on the tiles, and then the first driving member 5112 drives the first cutting member 5111 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22, so that the tiles are cut.

[0059] In one example, the first driving member 5112 is implemented to include a motor and a screw structure; the first belt-moving member 5113 is implemented to be a cylinder.

[0060] Preferably, the first cutting mechanism 51 also includes a pair of first clamping components 512. The two first clamping components 512 are located on either side of the second conveying mechanism 22. When the second conveying mechanism 22 drives the ceramic tile to move between the two first clamping components 512, the two first clamping components 512 clamp the ceramic tile to prevent it from shaking during cutting by the first cutting component 511, ensuring the stability of the cutting process and improving the flatness and accuracy of the small ceramic tiles cut by the device. It is worth mentioning that the provision of the first clamping components 512 allows the ceramic tile to be cut without stopping the second conveying mechanism 22, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the device.

[0061] Specifically, each first clamping member 512 includes a first clamping piece 5121 and a first moving member 5122. The first clamping piece 5121 is drivingly connected to the first moving member 5122, and the two first moving members 5122 are used to drive the two first clamping pieces 5121 to move closer to or away from each other to clamp the tiles.

[0062] In one example, the first moving member 5122 is implemented to include a motor and a screw structure.

[0063] Preferably, the first cutting mechanism 51 is provided with a plurality of the first cutting parts 511, the plurality of the first cutting parts 511 are distributed at intervals, and each of the first cutting parts 511 corresponds to a cutting line, so that the first cutting mechanism 51 can cut along the multiple cutting lines on the ceramic tile, avoiding the ceramic tile being repeatedly moved for multiple cuttings, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, the cutting unit 50 further includes a second cutting mechanism 52. The second cutting mechanism 52 includes a second cutting component 521, and the second cutting component 521 includes a second cutting piece 5211. The second cutting component 521 is configured to cut the tile along the cutting line drawn on the upper surface of the tile by the second marking mechanism 32.

[0065] In one embodiment, the second cutting mechanism 52 is mounted on the second mounting portion 12, and the second cutting component 521 is located closer to the second terminal end 1202 than the second scribing mechanism 32. The cutting direction of the second cutting component 5211 is the same as the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22. While the tiles are being conveyed by the second conveying mechanism 22, the second scribing mechanism 32 first marks the cutting lines on the tiles, and then the second cutting component 521 cuts the tiles along the cutting lines marked by the second scribing mechanism 32 to obtain small tiles of a predetermined size.

[0066] As a deformable structure, the device body 10 also includes a third mounting portion 13. The second cutting mechanism 52 is mounted on the third mounting portion 13. The conveying unit 20 also includes a third conveying mechanism 23. Specifically, the third mounting portion 13 has a third starting end portion 1301 and a third ending end portion 1302 arranged opposite to the third starting end portion 1301. The third conveying mechanism 23 is mounted on the third mounting portion 13, and the third conveying mechanism 23 is used to convey the tiles from the third starting end portion 1301 to the third ending end portion 1302. The second cutting component 521 also includes a second driving member 5212 and a second belt-moving member 5213. The second driving member 5212 is connected to the second belt-moving member 5213, and the second cutting member 5211 is mounted on the second driving member 5212 or the second belt-moving member 5213. The second driving member 5212 is used to drive the second cutting member 5211 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the third conveying mechanism 23, and the second belt-moving member 5213 is used to drive the second cutting member 5211 to move vertically toward or away from the upper surface of the third conveying mechanism 23. When the tile is moved directly below the second cutting mechanism 52, the second belt-moving member 5213 drives the second cutting member 5211 to move downward so that the cutting edge of the second cutting member 5211 approaches the cutting line on the tile. Then, the second driving member 5212 drives the second cutting member 5211 to move in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tile, so that the tile is cut.

[0067] In one example, the third transmission mechanism 23 is implemented as a conveyor; the second driving member 5212 is implemented to include a motor and a screw mechanism; and the second belt moving member 5213 is implemented to include a cylinder.

[0068] In a modified embodiment, the conveying direction of the third conveying mechanism 23 intersects with the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 22, and the third starting end 1301 formed by the third mounting portion 13 is adjacent to the second ending end 1202 formed by the second mounting portion 12. In this way, the end of the third conveying mechanism 23 corresponding to the third starting end 1301 receives the tiles removed from the second conveying mechanism 22. Then, during the process of the third conveying mechanism 23 conveying the tiles from the third starting end 1301 to the third ending end 1302, the second cutting mechanism 52 cuts the tiles along the cutting lines marked by the second scribing mechanism 32.

[0069] In another variant embodiment, the adjustment unit 40 includes a second adjustment mechanism 42. The second adjustment mechanism 42 includes a second supporting member 421, a second height adjustment member 422, and a second steering member 423. The second height adjustment member 422 and the second steering member 423 are connected, and the second supporting member 421 is connected to the second height adjustment member 422 or the second steering member 423. The second height adjustment member 422 is used to drive the second supporting member 421 to move vertically, and the second steering member 423 is used to drive the second supporting member 421 to rotate horizontally. The second supporting member 421 is arranged between the second end portion 1202 formed by the second mounting portion 12 and the third starting end portion 1301 formed by the third mounting portion 13. When the second supporting member 421 is flush with the upper surface of the second conveying mechanism 22, the second supporting member 421 can receive the tiles removed from the second end portion 1202.

[0070] Specifically, after the tiles are transferred to the upper surface of the second supporting member 421, the second height adjustment member 422 drives the second supporting member 421 and the tiles it carries to move upward, so that the tiles lose contact with the conveying unit 20, and then the second steering member 423 drives the second supporting member 421 and the tiles it carries to rotate a preset angle; then the second height adjustment member 422 drives the second supporting member 421 and the tiles it carries to move downward, so that part of the tiles overlap with the third conveying mechanism 23, so that when the third conveying mechanism 23 transports the tiles from the third starting end 1301 to the third ending end 1302, the second cutting mechanism 52 cuts the tiles.

[0071] In one example, the second height adjustment member 422 is implemented as a cylinder; and the second steering member 423 is implemented to include a motor.

[0072] Furthermore, the second cutting mechanism 52 includes a pair of second clamping members 522. These second clamping members 522 are located on either side of the second cutting member 521. When a tile moves between the two second clamping members 522, they clamp the tile to prevent it from shaking while being cut by the second cutting member 521. This ensures stability during the cutting process and improves the smoothness and accuracy of the small tiles cut by the device.

[0073] Specifically, each second clamping member 522 includes a second clamping piece 5221 and a second moving member 5222. The second clamping piece 5221 is drivingly connected to the second moving member 5222, and the two second moving members 5222 are used to drive the two second clamping pieces 5221 to move closer to or away from each other to clamp the tiles.

[0074] In one example, the second moving member 5222 is implemented to include a motor and a screw structure.

[0075] This application does not limit the rotation angle of the adjustment unit 40 or the intersection angle between the transmission mechanisms. It is understood that if the angles between the cutting lines drawn by the first marking mechanism 31 and the second marking mechanism 32 are different, the shapes of the small tiles cut from the large tiles by the cutting unit 50 will be different, and the small tiles may be triangular, diamond, rectangular, etc. If the cutting line drawn on the tile by the first marking mechanism 31 is perpendicular to the cutting line drawn on the tile by the second marking mechanism 32, then the first adjustment mechanism 41 drives the tile to rotate 90 degrees in a single rotation or the transmission direction of the first transmission mechanism 21 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the second transmission mechanism 22, and the small tiles subsequently cut by the cutting unit 50 are rectangular.

[0076] Furthermore, the tile processing device further includes a posture adjustment unit 60 and a controller 70. The device body 10 further includes a fourth mounting portion 14. The fourth mounting portion 14 has a bearing surface 1401. The fourth mounting portion 14 is disposed at one end of the first mounting portion 11 forming the first starting end 1101.

[0077] The posture adjustment unit 60 includes a posture adjustment mechanism 61 and a posture recognition component 62. The posture recognition component 62 is mounted on the first mounting portion 11 and is used to detect the posture of the tiles placed on the fourth mounting portion 14. The detection results of the posture recognition component 62 can be transmitted to the controller 70. The posture adjustment mechanism 61 is mounted on the fourth mounting portion 14. The controller 70 can control the operation of the posture adjustment mechanism 61 based on the detection results of the posture recognition component 62. The posture adjustment unit 60 is configured to convey the tiles to the first conveying mechanism 21 in a preset posture.

[0078] Preferably, the posture adjustment mechanism 61 includes a plurality of rotating wheels 611 and a plurality of driving mechanisms 612. The axial directions of the rotating wheels 611 are all parallel to the horizontal, and the rotating wheels 611 extend out of the support surface 1401 to support the tiles together with the support surface 1401. The rotating wheels 611 are rotatably connected to the driving mechanisms 612. The driving mechanisms 612 are controllably connected to the controller 70. The controller 70 can control the driving mechanisms 612 to operate in accordance with the tile posture detected by the posture recognition component 62, thereby adjusting the posture of the tiles.

[0079] In one example, the gesture recognition element 62 is implemented as a laser sensor. The gesture recognition element 62 is capable of radiating laser light in a direction away from the first conveying mechanism 21. When the tiles on the first mounting portion 11 are conveyed to the first conveying mechanism 21 in a preset posture, the tiles and the laser light radiated by the gesture recognition element 62 do not intersect. When the tiles on the first mounting portion 11 are conveyed to the first conveying mechanism 21 in a preset posture, the tiles and the laser light radiated by the gesture recognition element 62 intersect, and the reflected laser light is recognized by the gesture recognition element 62. The gesture recognition element 62 then communicates with the controller 70, causing the controller 70 to control the corresponding driving mechanism 612 to operate, so that the corresponding rotating wheel 611 rotates to adjust the tile posture.

[0080] In one example, the driving mechanism 612 is implemented to include a motor.
