Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the water absorption technology of ceramic tiles, and more specifically to a ceramic tile water absorption device. Background Art

[0002] During the production of existing ceramic tiles, after the ceramic tiles are output by the cleaning equipment, a large amount of water will remain on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the ceramic tiles. If the water is not removed or blown and sucked clean, the ceramic tiles with water will be packaged, and the paper skin for packaging the ceramic tiles will become wet, which will affect the packaging strength, cause the packaging to fail and even damage the ceramic tiles. Such a poor packaging effect is not conducive to anti-damage and also brings problems of large ceramic tile loss and low safety in the transportation link.

[0003] The existing water absorption devices have a poor water absorption effect on ceramic tiles. The self - contained water absorption rods have limited water absorption effect on ceramic tiles and often cannot absorb water thoroughly and cleanly. The Chinese invention patent (application number: 201510554583.7) discloses a building ceramic tile surface treatment production line, which includes a frame. A front belt conveying mechanism and a rear belt conveying mechanism are arranged on the frame. Above the rear belt conveying mechanism on the frame, a cleaning device and a wiping and drying device are arranged in sequence from front to back. The wiping and drying device specifically uses a high - pressure air nozzle on a high - pressure air pipe to blow the water on the surface of the ceramic tile, and the water stains are further adsorbed by a water absorption soft brush, which is used to adsorb and blow the impurities and water on the ceramic tile. However, in this blowing - water method, the water is easy to disperse on the surface of the ceramic tile, resulting in the water absorption soft brush being unable to accurately and timely adsorb the water, and the water is also easy to be blown to other parts of the device to form accumulated water. After the water absorption soft brush is saturated with adsorption, it needs to stop the machine for replacement, reducing the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed Embodiment

[0024] The following describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0025] Such as Figures 1-3A tile water absorption device shown in the figure includes a frame 1, conveying rollers 2, a water scraping mechanism 3, and a first water absorption component 4 for adsorbing water on the surface of the tile. The conveying rollers 2 are pivotally connected to the frame 1 and are used to support and convey the tile. The first water absorption component 4 is installed on the frame 1 and is used to contact the bottom surface of the tile. The water scraping mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the first water absorption component 4 and has a water scraping plate 326 that penetrates the surface of the first water absorption component 4 and squeezes the first water absorption component 4. The water scraping plate 326 moves relative to the first water absorption component 4 to scrape off the water adsorbed by the first water absorption component 4.

[0026] By configuring the first water absorption component 4 to contact the bottom surface of the tile, the first effective water absorption effect on the tile is realized. At the same time, during the water absorption process, the water scraping plate 326 of the water scraping mechanism 3 is always in relative motion with the first water absorption component 4 to penetrate and squeeze the surface of the first water absorption component 4, so as to more fully and effectively scrape off the water of the first water absorption component 4. In this way, on the one hand, the present utility model uses the first water absorption component 4 to absorb water on the bottom surface of the tile, and on the other hand, it simultaneously scrapes water from the first water absorption component 4, realizing that the first water absorption component 4 always maintains a strong water absorption capacity for the tile, with accurate water absorption, preventing water accumulation. Moreover, this water absorption and water scraping process is completed during the transportation of the tile by the conveying rollers 2, with high efficiency, and the water absorption effect on the tile is more thorough and clean, and can continuously maintain the water absorption effect without stopping the machine.

[0027] Among them, the relative motion between the water scraping plate 326 and the first water absorption component 4 can be a rolling relative motion or a sliding friction relative motion, and its relative motion direction is not limited. For example, it can be a co-directional rolling, with the axes of the two balanced, or the water scraping plate 326 can rotate along the normal direction of the first water absorption component 4, etc. Furthermore, the contact between the first water absorption component 4 and the bottom surface of the tile can be a rolling contact or a sliding friction contact. It can be a soft contact or a hard contact. The first water absorption component 4 is made of absorbent cotton. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be an absorbent brush with porous gaps.

[0028] The conveying rollers 2 are arranged at intervals on the frame 1, and each conveying roller 2 is provided with a rotational power by an external power mechanism, thereby driving the tile to be conveyed. Since the first water absorption component 4 contacts the bottom surface of the tile, it will maintain the water absorption effect on the tile during the tile transportation process.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the first water absorption member 4 is cylindrical, and can be implemented by a water absorption roller. The first water absorption member 4 is pivotally connected to the frame 1. The first water absorption member 4 extends from one side of the frame 1 to the other side of the frame 1, and the axis of the first water absorption member 4 intersects with the conveying direction of the ceramic tile. Thus, since the first water absorption member 4 contacts the bottom surface of the ceramic tile, and the first water absorption member 4 is pivotally connected to the frame 1, and its axis intersects with the conveying direction of the ceramic tile, at this time its axis will also intersect with the axis of the conveying roller 2, so that during the conveying process of the ceramic tile, a large area and a wide range can be covered to contact the bottom surface of the ceramic tile, so as to increase the contact range and enhance the water absorption effect. In this embodiment, it is preferably that the axis of the first water absorption member 4 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the ceramic tile. At this time, the axis of the first water absorption member 4 is parallel to the axis of the conveying roller 2, so as to balance large-area water absorption and smooth transportation of the ceramic tile, and prevent the ceramic tile from being conveyed obliquely or jammed.

[0030] For the convenience of installation, to make the first water absorption member 4 have a good water absorption contact force with the ceramic tile, and at the same time not hinder the conveying of the ceramic tile by the conveying roller 2, the ceramic tile water absorption device of this embodiment further includes a rotating seat 5 and a first height adjusting device 6. The first water absorption member 4 is pivotally connected to the rotating seat 5. The first height adjusting device 6 is used to drive the rotating seat 5 to move up and down in the height direction relative to the frame 1. Thus, the height of the rotating seat 5 can be adjusted through the first height adjusting device 6, and then the height adjustment of the first water absorption member 4 can be driven, and then the relative position between the first water absorption member 4 and the bottom surface of the ceramic tile can be adjusted, so as to adjust the water absorption effect and balance the conveying resistance of the ceramic tile.

[0031] The first height adjusting device 6 can be adjusted by other screw-nut mechanisms, or can be driven and adjusted by a linear driving mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first height adjusting device 6 of this embodiment includes a first screw 61 and a first fixing rod 62. The rotating seat 5 includes a bearing seat 51 and a bearing (not shown in the figure). The bearing is placed in the bearing seat 51. The first fixing rod 62 is horizontally fixed to the frame 1. The upper part of the first screw 61 passes through the first fixing rod 62 and is locked to the first fixing rod 62 by a first nut 63. The lower part of the first screw 61 is screwed to the bearing seat 51. The first water absorption member 4 is installed in the bearing through a first pivot 41. Through the rotational movement of the first screw 61, the bearing seat 51 can be driven to move up and down, so that the bearing in the bearing seat 51 drives the first pivot 41 to move up and down. Among them, the first fixing rod 62 plays a role of supporting and fixing, and provides a fixed basis and a lifting space for the lifting adjustment of the bearing seat 51.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, as Figures 1-2As shown, the conveying roller 2 is installed on the frame 1 via the second pivot 21, and the first pivot 41 and the second pivot 21 are drivingly connected via the synchronization mechanism 9. Driven by the synchronization mechanism 9, the rotation of the conveying roller 2 and the rotation of the first water absorption member 4 will be synchronized. Thus, when the ceramic tile is driven to rotate by the conveying roller 2, the first water absorption member 4 also rotates synchronously, reducing the resistance to the ceramic tile, enabling the ceramic tile to pass through the conveying and water absorption positions more smoothly and efficiently, and preventing the first water scraping member from jamming the ceramic tile or applying other-direction forces to the ceramic tile, which may cause the deviation of the ceramic tile conveying direction.

[0034] Specifically, in this example, as Figure 2 shown, the synchronization mechanism 9 includes a first sprocket 91, a second sprocket 92, and a chain 93. The first sprocket 91 is fixedly installed on the first pivot 41, the second sprocket 92 is fixedly installed on the second pivot 21, and the chain 93 is wound around the first sprocket 91 and the second sprocket 92. Thus, through the configuration of the chain 93, the first sprocket 91, and the second sprocket 92, the first pivot 41 and the second pivot 21 rotate synchronously, that is, the conveying roller 2 and the first water absorption member 4 rotate synchronously.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the relative movement between the first water absorption member 4 and the wiper blade 326, the first water absorption member 4 is pivotally connected to the frame 1, and the wiper blade 326 is in pressing contact with the first water absorption member 4 along the axial direction of the first water absorption member 4. Then, during the rotation of the first water absorption member 4, it will always be scraped by the wiper blade 326 in a pressing manner.

[0036] Regarding the conventional method after the first water absorption member 4 is full of water, it is to replace it. Preferably, in this embodiment, as Figures 3-4 shown, the wiper mechanism 3 includes a bracket 31 and a second height adjustment device 32. At least one part of the bracket 31 serves as the wiper blade 326, and the second height adjustment device 32 is used to drive the bracket 31 to move up and down in the height direction relative to the frame 1. Thus, after the first water absorption member 4 is scraped by the wiper blade 326 for a long time, it will be worn and become thinner and thinner. In this embodiment, the second height adjustment device 32 is adopted to adjust the scraping and pressing force between the wiper blade 326 and the first water absorption member 4, so as to maintain the relative position between the wiper blade 326 and the first water absorption member 4 at the best position for water scraping by adjusting the height.

[0037] The second height adjustment device 32 can be adjusted by other screw-nut mechanisms, or can also be driven and adjusted by linear drive mechanisms such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, or electric cylinders.

[0038] In this example, as Figures 3-4As shown in the figure, the second height adjustment device 32 includes an adjustment rod 321, a second fixed rod 322, a second screw rod 323, and a second nut 324. The second fixed rod 322 is horizontally fixed to the frame 1. The two ends of the second screw rod 323 are respectively inserted through the second fixed rod 322 and the adjustment rod 321 and locked by the second nut 324. The bracket 31 includes two legs 325 and a wiper blade 326 connected between the two legs 325. The two legs 325 are fixed to the adjustment rod 321. The adjustment rod 321 provides a fixed basis for the bracket 31 and also provides a basis for the wiper blade 326 to stably press and contact the first water absorption component 4. The fixing method of the two legs 325 combined with the wiper blade 326 can more firmly fix the position of the wiper blade 326. The rotation adjustment of the second screw rod 323 can drive the lifting of the adjustment rod 321, and then drive the lifting of the wiper blade 326. The second fixed rod 322 provides a fixed basis for this lifting adjustment.

[0039] To further optimize the water absorption range and water absorption effect on the surface of the ceramic tile, as Figures 3-5 shown, the ceramic tile water absorption device of this embodiment further includes a second water absorption component 7. The second water absorption component 7 is pivotally connected to the frame 1 through a third pivot 71 and is used to contact the top surface of the ceramic tile. By contacting and absorbing water on the top surface of the ceramic tile, water can be absorbed on the top surface of the ceramic tile to more comprehensively and three-dimensionally absorb water on the surface of the ceramic tile.

[0040] The second water absorption component 7 is mainly configured to absorb water on the top surface of the ceramic tile in a rolling manner. Its material and shape structure are the same as those of the first water absorption component 4. At this time, the axes of the first water absorption component 4, the second water absorption component 7, and the conveying roller 2 are parallel.

[0041] The second water absorption component 7 is opposite to the first water absorption component 4 in position to provide a pressing and contacting force on the ceramic tile simultaneously on the top and bottom surfaces of the ceramic tile, which is more conducive to balancing the force on the ceramic tile and improving the water absorption effect. In order to adapt to ceramic tiles of different thicknesses, this embodiment has the ability to absorb water for ceramic tiles of different thicknesses. Among them, the third pivot 71 is installed on the frame 1 through a third height adjustment device 8. The third height adjustment device 8 is used to drive the second water absorption component 7 to lift in the height direction relative to the frame 1. By adjusting the height of the second water absorption component 7 through the third height adjustment device 8, when encountering a thicker ceramic tile, the second water absorption component 7 can be lifted; when encountering a thinner ceramic tile, the second water absorption component 7 can be lowered. The third height adjustment device 8 can be adjusted by a screw-nut mechanism, or can be driven by a linear drive mechanism such as a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.

[0042] The quantities of the above-mentioned first water-absorbing member 4, second water-absorbing member 7, conveying roller 2, and water scraping mechanism 3 are configured according to requirements. When stronger water scraping ability is needed, the quantity of the water scraping mechanism 3 can be increased or its position can be adjusted so that it scrapes water for more or different first water-absorbing members 4. When stronger water absorption ability is needed, more first water-absorbing members 4 and second water-absorbing members 7 can be configured on the premise of not providing excessive resistance to the tiles. When stronger power for tile conveying is needed, more conveying rollers 2 can be configured.

[0043] It can be understood that on the premise of not affecting the water absorption effect, a blowing device or other devices beneficial to removing moisture from the tiles can also be configured at an appropriate position of the frame 1.

[0044] The implementation manners of the present utility model are not limited thereto. According to the above-mentioned embodiment content of the present utility model, using the conventional technical knowledge and customary means in the art, without departing from the above basic technical idea of the present utility model and without conflict, the above preferred embodiments can also be modified, replaced or combined in various other forms, and the other obtained embodiments all fall within the scope of the patent protection of the present utility model.
