Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of ceramic tile processing equipment, and particularly relates to a fixing device for ceramic tile processing. Background Art

[0002] When the size of the ceramic tile is too large, a cutting machine needs to be used to cut it to meet the size requirements. In the current technical applications, when using a ceramic tile cutting machine, the ceramic tile usually needs to be placed on the workbench, and then manually fixed by the operator. This method may lead to insufficient stability of the ceramic tile during the cutting process, prone to shaking or displacement, resulting in deviation of the cutting position, uneven cutting edges, and ultimately affecting the use effect of the ceramic tile.

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the patent with the authorization announcement number "CN212919969U" discloses a fixing device for ceramic tiles used in a ceramic tile cutting machine. When fixing the ceramic tile, the fixing baffle is pushed towards the ceramic tile main body direction, and the fixing baffle slides inside the chute through the slider, so that the rubber protection pad fits with the left and right end faces of the ceramic tile main body. The rubber protection pad protects the ceramic tile main body. Then, the wing nut is rotated, and the wing nut rotates on the annular side surface of the connecting rod. The slider is fixed by the wing nut, and then the fixing baffle is fixed, realizing the fixing process of the ceramic tile main body and improving the stability of the ceramic tile fixing. However, this device has the following problems: 1. A path for the slider to pass through needs to be set on the ceramic tile workbench, resulting in the workbench being unable to fully support the ceramic tile. There is no support at the bottom of the ceramic tile, which will increase the risk of shaking and breakage of the ceramic tile during cutting. 2. The fixing process of the ceramic tile is completely carried out manually by the operator, resulting in cumbersome steps and low efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a fixing device for ceramic tile processing to achieve full support for the ceramic tile and thereby reduce the risk of breakage during ceramic tile cutting.

[0005] A fixing device for ceramic tile processing in this solution includes a support frame. A workbench for placing ceramic tiles is provided on the support frame. Fixing components for fixing the ceramic tiles are mirror - arranged on opposite sides of the workbench. The fixing component includes a fixing plate, a connecting rod, a sliding plate, and an adjusting block. Two ends of the connecting rod are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing plate and the sliding plate. The lower surface of the fixing plate is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the workbench. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the support frame. One end of the adjusting block is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block. A reciprocating motion mechanism is provided on the support frame. A mounting block is fixedly connected to the free end of the reciprocating motion mechanism. One ends of the two adjusting blocks away from the sliding plate are both rotatably connected to the mounting block.

[0006] Working principle and beneficial effects of this solution: Place the tile on the workbench, start the reciprocating motion mechanism, pull the mounting block to move towards one side of the reciprocating motion mechanism, thereby driving the two sliding blocks closer, driving the connecting rod and the fixing plate closer to the tile until the fixing plate closely adheres to the side of the tile, achieving firm fixation of the tile. During the cutting process, since the lower surface of the fixing plate and the upper surface of the workbench are on the same horizontal plane, it ensures that the bottom of the tile is fully supported, effectively reducing the risk of the tile shaking and breaking during cutting.

[0007] Furthermore, a protective pad is provided on the side of the fixing plate away from the connecting rod. The protective pad can prevent the fixing plate from scratching or damaging the tile during the fastening process and protect the integrity of the tile.

[0008] Furthermore, a cutting groove is provided on the workbench. The cutting groove provides a space for the cutting blade to pass through, avoiding damage to the workbench or the fixing components during the cutting process and improving the cutting accuracy and efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, notches for the cutting blade to pass through are provided on the fixing plate and the protective pad. The notches ensure that the cutting blade is not obstructed by the fixing plate and the protective pad during the cutting process, ensuring the smooth progress of cutting.

[0010] Furthermore, a liquid collecting groove is provided on the support frame. The liquid collecting groove is located directly below the cutting groove, and the cutting groove penetrates through the workbench and the support frame. During the tile cutting process, a large amount of waste chips and coolant are often generated. The setting of the liquid collecting groove can effectively collect these waste chips and coolant, prevent them from scattering in the working area, and keep the working environment clean. The waste chips and coolant directly fall into the liquid collecting groove, avoiding interference of the waste chips with the cutting blade and the tile, and improving the cutting accuracy and efficiency. In addition, the design of the liquid collecting groove also facilitates the subsequent treatment of the waste chips and coolant, reducing the difficulty and cost of cleaning work.

[0011] Furthermore, the reciprocating motion mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a push rod. These mechanisms have mature technologies and stable performances, which can ensure the accurate movement and firm fixation of the fixing components.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of columns are provided on the support frame. The plurality of columns are distributed on opposite sides of the workbench. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate close to the connecting rod, and the guide rod is horizontally slidably connected to the corresponding column. This improves the stability and guiding property of the fixing plate during the movement process, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of fixation.

[0013] Further, a pushing assembly for pushing the ceramic tile close to the cutting groove is provided on the support frame. The pushing assembly includes a push plate, a pusher, a connecting plate, and a motor fixedly connected to the support frame. The pusher includes a rack and a fixing rod. The two ends of the fixing rod are respectively fixedly connected to the push plate and the connecting plate. One end of the rack is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the other end of the rack is slidably connected to the support frame; the lower surface of the push plate is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the workbench; a gear is provided on the output shaft of the motor, and the gear meshes with the rack. The pushing assembly can automatically push the ceramic tile towards the cutting groove, reducing the steps and time of manual operation and improving the cutting efficiency.

[0014] Further, the motor is a double-shaft motor, and there are two groups of pushers. The two groups of pushers are respectively located on both sides of the double-shaft motor, and the two gears on the output shafts of the double-shaft motor respectively mesh with the two racks. This improves the stability and balance of pushing the ceramic tile, and further improves the cutting efficiency and accuracy.

[0015] Further, a controller is provided on the support frame. The reciprocating motion mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder. The motor and the hydraulic cylinder are both connected to the controller through electrical signals. The controller is used to control the on-off of the motor and the hydraulic cylinder, control the rotation speed and direction of the motor, and control the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder. The setting of the controller realizes the centralized control of the motor and the hydraulic cylinder, simplifies the operation steps, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of control. Through the controller, the operator can conveniently control the rotation speed and direction of the motor, and the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder, so as to realize the precise fixing and pushing of the ceramic tile. In addition, the controller can also set different working modes and parameters according to actual needs to meet different cutting requirements, improving the flexibility and applicability of the device.

[0021] Example 1 is basically as shown in the attached Figures 1 - 2 figure: A fixing device for tile processing, including a support frame. A workbench 11 for placing tiles is provided on the support frame. Fixing components for fixing tiles are arranged in a mirror image on the opposite sides of the workbench 11. Specifically: The support frame includes a square support plate 12. Support feet 1 are fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the support plate 12. A same liquid collecting tank is installed among the four columns 7; The workbench 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 12. Rectangular columns 7 are fixedly connected to the four corners at the top of the support plate 12. Horizontal through holes are provided on the columns 7; A support block 13 is arranged between the column 7 and the workbench 11. The support block 13 is fixedly connected to the support platform. The support block 13 is at the same height as the workbench 11 and the tops are on the same horizontal plane; A push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the workbench 11.

[0022] The fixing component includes a fixing plate 8, a connecting rod 5, a sliding plate 2 and an adjusting block 15. The sliding plate 2 is in an "L" shape. Limiting strips 3 are provided on both opposite sides of the horizontal part of the sliding plate 2. A chute is provided at the bottom of the support plate 12, and limiting grooves for cooperating with the limiting strips 3 are provided on both sides of the chute. The sliding plate 2 slides on the support plate 12 through the cooperation of the limiting strips 3 and the limiting grooves; a connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical part of the sliding plate 2. The length of the connecting block 4 is greater than the width of the sliding plate 2. Six horizontally arranged connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the connecting block 4. The other ends of the connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 8. The lower surface of the fixing plate 8 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the workbench 11. The longitudinal section of the connecting plate 23 is rectangular. The bottom of the connecting rod 5 contacts the support block 13, which helps to ensure the stability of the connecting rod 5 during movement; a protective pad 9 is adhered to the surface of the fixing plate 8 away from the connecting rod 5. The protective pad 9 completely covers the surface of the fixing plate 8 away from the connecting rod 5 and remains flat; a reciprocating motion mechanism 20 is installed at the bottom of the support plate 12. In this embodiment, a push rod is selected for the reciprocating motion mechanism 20. The push rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the support plate 12 and is provided with a locking member for fixing it. One end of the push rod connected to the support plate 12 is fixedly connected with an "L" - shaped mounting block 16. The pushing direction of the push rod is the front - and - back direction of the support plate 12, and the sliding direction of the sliding plate 2 is the left - and - right direction of the support plate 12; two second connecting shafts 17 are provided on the upper surface of the horizontal part of the mounting block 16. A first connecting shaft 14 is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 2 near one end of the mounting block 16. Both ends of the two adjusting blocks 15 are rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 14 and the second connecting shaft 17 respectively. More specifically: two adjusting holes are provided on the adjusting block 15. The two adjusting holes are located in the thickness direction of the adjusting block 15 and are respectively close to both ends of the adjusting block 15. The adjusting block 15 is rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 14 and the second connecting shaft 17 through the two adjusting holes, and thus is rotatably connected to the sliding block; a cutting groove 19 is provided on the workbench 11. Notches for the cutting blade to pass through are provided on the fixing plate 8 and the protective pad 9. The notches and the cutting groove 19 are on the same horizontal straight line. The cutting groove 19 is of the same width as the notch, and the cutting groove 19 penetrates through the workbench 11 and the support plate 12. The liquid collecting groove is located directly below the cutting groove 19; in addition, since the protective pad 9 and the fixing plate 8 are separated by the notch, in order to ensure better fixation of the ceramic tile by the fixing plate 8 and the protective pad 9, an "L" - shaped auxiliary rod 18 is integrally formed on the connecting rod 5 near the notch. The longitudinal section of the auxiliary rod 18 is also rectangular. The bottom of the auxiliary rod 18 contacts the top of the support block 13. One end of the auxiliary rod 18 away from the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 8 separated by the notch; guide rods 6 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 8 on both sides of the notch. The guide rods 6 are horizontally slidably connected in the through - holes of the columns 7.

[0023] The specific implementation process of Embodiment 1 is as follows: First, place the tile to be cut on the workbench 11, and one side of the tile abuts against the push plate 10 for positioning to ensure that the part of the tile to be cut is aligned with the cutting groove 19. Then, unlock the locking member of the push rod and start the push rod to make it extend forward. The free end of the push rod drives the two sliding plates 2 to slide towards each other through the mounting block 16 and the adjusting block 15, and then pushes the fixing plate 8 towards the tile through the connecting rod 5. When the fixing plate 8 is closely attached to the side of the tile through the protective pad 9, turn off the push rod and re-lock the locking member to achieve firm fixation of the tile. At this time, since the lower surface of the fixing plate 8 and the upper surface of the workbench 11 are on the same horizontal plane, it ensures that the bottom of the tile is fully supported.

[0024] Next, start the tile cutting machine to make the cutting blade cut along the cutting groove 19. During the cutting process, since the tile is firmly fixed on the workbench 11 and the bottom is fully supported, the risk of tile shaking and breakage is effectively reduced. After cutting is completed, turn off the cutting machine, unlock the locking member of the push rod, and reverse-start the push rod to move the fixing plate 8 away from the tile, so as to take out the cut tile. During the implementation process, waste chips and coolant will fall into the liquid collecting tank through the cutting groove 19, keeping the working environment clean.

[0025] Embodiment 2 is basically as shown in the appendix Figure 3 The difference between it and Embodiment 1 is only that: the reciprocating motion mechanism 20 selects a hydraulic cylinder, there is no locking member, and a pushing assembly for pushing the tile towards the cutting groove 19 is provided on the support frame. Specifically: the pushing assembly includes a push plate 10, a pushing member, a connecting plate 23, and a double-shaft motor 24 fixedly connected to the support plate 12. There are two groups of pushing members and they are mirror-symmetrically arranged on both sides of the double-shaft motor 24. The pushing member includes a rack 22 and a fixing rod 21. The two ends of the fixing rod 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the push plate 10 and the connecting plate 23. One end of the rack 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23, and the other end of the rack 22 is slidably connected to the support frame; the lower surface of the push plate 10 and the upper surface of the workbench 11 are on the same horizontal plane; a gear 25 is provided on the output shaft of the double-shaft motor 24, and the gear 25 meshes with the corresponding rack 22; the push plate 10 is not fixedly connected to the workbench 11, but is in contact with the workbench 11.

[0026] The specific implementation process of Embodiment 2 is as follows: First, place the tile on the workbench 11 and abut it against the push plate 10, and then start the double-shaft motor 24 to make the gear 25 on its output shaft rotate. The rotation of the gear 25 drives the connecting plate 23 and the push plate 10 to move towards the cutting groove 19 through the rack 22, thereby pushing the tile towards the cutting groove 19 until the part of the tile to be cut is aligned with the cutting groove 19, and then turn off the double-shaft motor 24.

[0027] Next, start the hydraulic cylinder to extend it. The free end of the hydraulic cylinder drives the two sliding plates 2 to slide towards each other through the mounting block 16 and the adjusting block 15, and then pushes the fixed plate 8 towards the ceramic tile through the connecting rod 5. When the fixed plate 8 is closely attached to the side of the ceramic tile, close the hydraulic cylinder to achieve firm fixation of the ceramic tile.

[0028] Then, start the ceramic tile cutting machine for cutting. After cutting is completed, first turn off the cutting machine, and then start the double-shaft motor 24 (rotate in the reverse direction) to move the push plate 10 away from the cutting groove 19, so as to take out the cut ceramic tile. Finally, start the hydraulic cylinder (extend in the reverse direction) to move the fixed plate 8 away from the ceramic tile to prepare for the next cutting.

[0029] The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is only that: a pressure sensor is provided on the side of the fixed plate 8 away from the connecting rod 5, a controller is provided on the support plate 12, and the motor and the hydraulic cylinder are both connected to the controller through electrical signals. The controller is used to control the on / off, rotation speed and rotation direction of the motor, and is also used to receive the pressure sensor signal to control the on / off and telescoping of the hydraulic cylinder. In this embodiment, the controller can be selected as the XINJE XD / XDQ series plc controller.

[0030] The specific implementation process of Embodiment 3 is as follows: Similar to Embodiment 2, the difference is that the hydraulic cylinder and the double-shaft motor 24 are controlled by the controller to work. First, set the working parameters (such as rotation speed, rotation direction, telescoping amount, etc.) of the double-shaft motor 24 and the hydraulic cylinder through the controller. Then, place the ceramic tile on the workbench 11, and start the double-shaft motor 24 and the hydraulic cylinder through the controller to make the push plate 10 and the fixed plate 8 approach the ceramic tile respectively and perform firm fixation. During the fixation process, when the pressure of the pressure sensor reaches the preset value, the controller controls the hydraulic cylinder to stop working.

[0031] During the cutting process, the controller can adjust the working states of the double-shaft motor 24 and the hydraulic cylinder according to actual needs to ensure the firm fixation and pushing of the ceramic tile. After cutting is completed, turn off the double-shaft motor 24 and the hydraulic cylinder through the controller, and take out the cut ceramic tile.

[0032] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific structures and characteristics in the solutions are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicability of the patent. The protection scope required by this application should be subject to the content of its claims, and the specific implementation manners and the like recorded in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
