[0031] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a ceramic tile cooling device 100, which relates to the technical field of ceramic tile production and is mainly applied to a ceramic tile production line for cooling the ceramic tiles 400 after they come out of the kiln, so as to shorten the time of lag deformation of the ceramic tiles 400 and make the defects of the ceramic tiles 400 exposed in advance.

[0032] Such asFigure 1 As shown, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a spraying assembly and a water pumping device 130.

[0033] Among them, the spraying assembly includes a water pipe 110 and a plurality of spray heads 120. The plurality of spray heads 120 are used to be arranged at intervals below the ceramic tile 400, and each spray head 120 is connected to the water pipe 110. The water pumping device 130 is used to be arranged in the water storage device 200, and the water pumping device 130 is connected to the water pipe 110. The water pumping device 130 is used to suck the water stored in the water storage device 200 into the water pipe 110, so as to realize the spraying of the bottom of the ceramic tile 400 by the spraying assembly.

[0034] Exemplarily, the water pumping device 130 is an electric water pump, and the water storage device 200 is a water pool. Of course, the water pumping device 130 can also be a manual water pump, and the water storage device 200 can also be a water storage tank, a waste water recovery container, etc. The number of spray heads 120 can be selected as two, three, four, five, six, seven, etc., and can be specifically selected according to design needs. The number of spray heads 120 is not specifically limited here.

[0035] It should be mentioned that currently, for the treatment of the hysteretic deformation of ceramic tiles, usually the ceramic tiles are directly immersed in water for a certain period of time, and then the cooled ceramic tiles are taken out for detection and sorting, and the ceramic tiles that meet the shipping standards are packed and shipped. However, the whole immersion operation process is time-consuming and laborious, thus affecting the shipping efficiency of ceramic tiles.

[0036] It can be understood that for the ceramic tile cooling device 100 provided in this embodiment, since the plurality of spray heads 120 are used to be arranged at intervals below the ceramic tile 400, each spray head 120 is connected to the water pipe 110, and the water pumping device 130 is arranged in the water storage device 200 and is connected to the water pipe 110. In this way, the water pumping device 130 can suck the water stored in the water storage device 200 into the water pipe 110, and spray the water upward through the plurality of spray heads 120, so as to realize the spraying of the bottom of the ceramic tile 400 by the spraying assembly, thereby shortening the time of hysteretic deformation of the ceramic tile 400 and improving the shipping efficiency of the ceramic tile 400.

[0037] At the same time, the water sprayed upward by the spray head 120 will be affected by the gravity, so when it contacts the bottom of the ceramic tile 400, it mainly plays a role in cooling, and has less impact on the ceramic tile 400, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the ceramic tile 400.

[0038] Such as Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the water pipe 110 includes: a main water pipe 111 and a plurality of branch water pipes 112. Among them, one end of the main water pipe 111 is connected to the water pumping device 130, and each branch water pipe 112 is respectively connected to a spray head 120 and a portion of the main water pipe 111 away from the water pumping device 130.

[0039] It should be noted that the number of the branch water pipes 112 corresponds to the number of the spray heads 120, and no specific limitation is imposed on the number of the branch water pipes 112 herein.

[0040] In this embodiment, since one end of the main water pipe 111 is connected to the water pumping device 130, the portion of the main water pipe 111 away from the water pumping device 130 is connected to a plurality of branch water pipes 112, and each branch water pipe 112 is connected to a spray head 120. In this way, water can be introduced from the main water pipe 111 into a plurality of branch water pipes 112, and then sprayed to the bottom of the ceramic tile 400 through a plurality of spray heads 120, so as to cool the ceramic tile 400.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, further, the water pipe 110 further includes a plurality of control valves 113. Each control valve 113 is disposed on a branch water pipe 112, and each control valve 113 is used to control the on / off of a branch water pipe 112.

[0042] Exemplarily, the control valve 113 can be an electromagnetic valve, a manual valve or other components capable of controlling the on / off of the branch water pipe 112, and no specific limitation is imposed on the type of the control valve 113 herein.

[0043] In this embodiment, the on / off of a plurality of branch water pipes 112 can be controlled by a plurality of control valves 113, so as to adjust the spraying range of the spraying assembly. For example, there are a total of six spray heads 120. When all six control valves 113 are opened, the spraying range is the largest. When only one of the six control valves 113 is opened, the spraying range is the smallest.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, furthermore, the main water pipe 111 includes a first pipe body 1111 and a second pipe body 1112. Each branch water pipe 112 is connected to the first pipe body 1111, and the second pipe body 1112 is connected between the first pipe body 1111 and the water pumping device 130.

[0045] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the first pipe body 1111 facilitates the installation and layout of a plurality of branch water pipes 112. The arrangement of the second pipe body 1112 facilitates the introduction of the water in the water storage device 200 into a plurality of spray heads 120.

[0046] As Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the spray head 120 includes a water connection joint 121 and a plurality of spray pipes 122. The water connection joint 121 is connected to the water pipe 110. The plurality of spray pipes 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the water connection joint 121 and are respectively connected to the water connection joint 121. Each spray pipe 122 has a plurality of water spray holes 1221.

[0047] Exemplarily, the number of the spray pipes 122 can be selected as two, three, four, five, etc., and can be specifically selected according to design requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the plurality of spray pipes 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the water connection joint 121 and are respectively connected to the water connection joint 121, and at the same time, each spray pipe 122 has a plurality of water spray holes 1221. In this way, water can be sprayed upward through the plurality of water spray holes 1221 of the plurality of spray pipes 122, thereby increasing the spray area of the spray assembly, making the spraying more uniform, and thus improving the cooling efficiency of the ceramic tile 400.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, further, the spray head 120 further includes a first driving member 123. The first driving member 123 is connected to the water connection joint 121, and the first driving member 123 is used to drive the water connection joint 121 to rotate, so as to realize the rotary spraying of the bottom of the ceramic tile 400 by the spray head 120.

[0050] Exemplarily, the first driving member 123 can be selected as a servo motor. Of course, the first driving member 123 can also be selected as a rotary motor, a driving motor, etc. which can also output torque, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] In this embodiment, since the first driving member 123 is connected to the water connection joint 121 and can drive the water connection joint 121 to rotate, so as to realize the rotary spraying of the bottom of the ceramic tile 400 by the spray head 120, that is, spraying the ceramic tile 400 within a 360° range. In this way, the ceramic tile 400 can be sprayed more uniformly, so that the temperature of the ceramic tile 400 drops rapidly.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 is applied to a ceramic tile production line having a roller device 300. The roller device 300 is used to convey the ceramic tile 400, and a plurality of spray heads 120 are arranged at intervals below the roller device 300.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ceramic tile 400 is conveyed by the roller device 300, so that the ceramic tile 400 is in a moving state. On this basis, a plurality of spray heads 120 are arranged at intervals below the roller device 300, and can spray the moving ceramic tile 400. Compared with soaking the ceramic tile 400 in water, spraying the moving ceramic tile 400 has a higher cooling efficiency.

[0054] In one embodiment, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 further includes a frequency converter. The water pumping device 130 is an electric water pump, and the frequency converter is electrically connected to the electric water pump.

[0055] Exemplarily, the model of the frequency converter can be selected as: Pufeide frequency converter HS360, Helu 3 series, Helu 7 series, SPD990, etc., and can be specifically selected according to design needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0056] In this embodiment, the frequency converter can change the working frequency of the electric water pump, thereby adjusting the water supply of the water pipe 110 to the spray head 120, and further realizing the adjustment of the water spray amount of the spray head 120.

[0057] Furthermore, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 further includes a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the frequency converter.

[0058] In this embodiment, the controller facilitates the operator to control the frequency converter, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the water spray amount of the spray head 120.

[0059] Even further, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 further includes a circuit breaker switch and an electrical box. The circuit breaker switch is electrically connected to the electric water pump and the electrical box respectively. When the electric water pump is used beyond the preset temperature threshold, the circuit breaker switch will disconnect the electrical connection between the electric water pump and the electrical box to avoid overheating and damage of the electric water pump caused by long-term pumping.

[0060] In one embodiment, the ceramic tile cooling device 100 further includes a lifting bracket and a second driving member. The spray assembly is arranged on the lifting bracket, and the second driving member is connected to the lifting bracket for driving the lifting bracket to move up or down.

[0061] Exemplarily, the second driving member can be an electric push rod, a linear motor module and other elements that can drive the linear displacement of the lifting bracket, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second driving member can drive the lifting bracket to move up or down, thereby adjusting the distance between the spray head 120 and the bottom of the ceramic tile 400, which can facilitate the operator to adjust the spray head 120 to a suitable position, so as to spray and cool the ceramic tile 400 more evenly and efficiently.

[0063] Such asFigure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , in a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a ceramic tile production line, including: a roller device 300, a water storage device 200, and the ceramic tile cooling device 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0064] Among them, the roller device 300 is used to convey the ceramic tile 400, a plurality of spray heads 120 are arranged at intervals below the roller device 300, and the water pumping device 130 is arranged in the water storage device 200.

[0065] It can be understood that when the ceramic tile cooling device 100 is used, the water pumping device 130 sucks the water in the water storage device 200 into the water pipe 110, and sprays the water upward through a plurality of spray heads 120. As the roller device 300 continuously conveys the ceramic tile 400, the water sprayed upward by the spray heads 120 can pass through the gap between two adjacent rollers of the roller device 300 to impact the bottom of the ceramic tile 400, thereby realizing the cooling of the ceramic tile 400.

[0066] It can be understood that since the ceramic tile production line provided in this embodiment has the ceramic tile cooling device 100 in any of the above embodiments, it has all the beneficial effects of the ceramic tile cooling device 100, and will not be listed one by one here.

In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples.
