[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense.

[0027] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0028] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0029] The X direction and X axis in this embodiment are both as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is the horizontal direction, that is, the direction of the central axis of the ceramic roller; and the Y direction is another horizontal direction, and the Y direction and the X direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the ceramic roller grinding device of the tempering furnace includes a first driving mechanism, a grinding assembly and a water supply mechanism. The above-mentioned first driving mechanism is used to drive several ceramic rollers extending along the first direction to rotate around the X-axis, and the several ceramic rollers are spaced apart along the Y-direction; the above-mentioned grinding assembly includes a second driving mechanism and several grinding members 201, and the above-mentioned grinding members 201 are connected to the output end of the above-mentioned second driving mechanism to enable the above-mentioned grinding members 201 to move along the X-direction, and the above-mentioned grinding members 201 can abut against the outer wall of the above-mentioned ceramic roller; the above-mentioned water supply mechanism is used to spray water onto the outer wall of the above-mentioned grinding member 201.

[0031] The ceramic roller grinding device for a tempering furnace in this embodiment drives a plurality of ceramic rollers to rotate via a first drive mechanism. While the ceramic rollers rotate, the grinding members 201 of the grinding assembly correspondingly abut against the circumferential side walls of the ceramic rollers. The second drive mechanism drives the grinding members 201 to move along the length direction of the ceramic rollers, so that the grinding members 201 grind and polish different parts of the ceramic rollers. While grinding, the water supply mechanism sprays water onto the outer wall of the ceramic roller to keep the outer wall of the ceramic roller moist and smooth, thereby facilitating the grinding member 201 to improve the polishing effect. The ceramic roller grinding device for a tempering furnace can automatically grind and polish the surface of the ceramic roller, improve the grinding efficiency and polishing effect of the ceramic roller, thereby reducing the downtime of the tempering furnace and improving the production efficiency of the tempering furnace.

[0032] Furthermore, the second drive mechanism includes a second drive member 204 and a screw 203 extending in the X-direction. The plurality of grinding elements 201 are fixed to a fixed bracket 202, which is coupled to the screw 203. The screw 203 is connected to the output end of the second drive member 204 to rotate the screw 203 about the X-axis. While the screw 203 is rotated by the second drive member 204, the fixed screw 203 is driven in the X-direction due to the coupling between the fixed bracket 202 and the screw 203, thereby driving the grinding elements 201 to automatically grind different areas of the ceramic roller.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water supply mechanism includes a plurality of water spray heads corresponding to the ceramic rollers, and the water spray heads are fixed to the fixed bracket 202. This arrangement enables the water spray heads to spray water toward the grinding position of the grinding member 201 as the fixed bracket 202 moves, ensuring that the grinding position is moistened, and the precise water spraying does not waste water resources.

[0034] Specifically, the water spraying time of the water nozzle is not continuous, but is sprayed at intervals. The duration and number of water spraying are determined by the grinding requirements of the ceramic roller, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first drive mechanism includes a first drive member 101, a driving roller 105, and a driven roller 106. The driving roller 105 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 101 so that it can rotate about the X-axis. The ceramic roller support is disposed between the driving roller 105 and the driven roller 106. This arrangement enables the ceramic roller to be driven to rotate by the driving roller 105 when in contact with the driving roller 105, while the driven roller 106 only serves to support and guide it. This simplifies the structure of the first drive mechanism for driving the ceramic roller and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0036] In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism further includes a transmission rod 103 arranged along the X-axis. The transmission rod 103 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 101 and is rotatable about the X-axis. First transmission belts 104 are provided at both ends of the transmission rod 103 along the X-axis. The two first transmission belts 104 are connected to two driving rollers 105 arranged opposite each other along the X-axis in a one-to-one driving relationship. The first drive member 101 drives the transmission rod 103 to rotate, which in turn drives the driving rollers 105 via the first transmission belts 104. This ensures that the output torque of the first drive member 101 is reliably transmitted to the driving rollers 105, thereby improving output capacity.

[0037] Furthermore, each active roller 105 is provided with a driven roller 106 at both ends along the Y direction. Each active roller 105 is used to drive the two ceramic rollers to rotate. This allows a single active roller 105 to drive the rotation of all the ceramic rollers, thereby simultaneously polishing both ceramic rollers. This improves polishing efficiency, reduces the number of active rollers 105, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the output end of the first driving member 101 is connected to a second transmission belt 102, which is driven and connected to the transmission rod 103. The second transmission belt 102 can transmit the torque of the first driving member 101 to the transmission rod 103, thereby reducing energy loss during the transmission process and improving transmission efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, the grinding member 201 is provided with a pressure device for applying pressure to the grinding member 201 to force the grinding member 201 against the outer wall of the ceramic roller. The pressure of the pressure device is adjustable. The pressure device can adjust the pressure applied by the grinding member 201 on the ceramic roller, thereby adjusting the grinding and polishing effect of the grinding member 201, ensuring that the ceramic roller meets the requirements after grinding.

[0040] Optionally, the ceramic roller grinding device for a tempering furnace further includes a frame 10, on which the first drive mechanism, the grinding assembly, and the water supply mechanism are all disposed. The frame 10 is provided with a water collection tank 205, which is disposed below the water supply mechanism. The frame 10 provides support and securement for the various components of the ceramic roller grinding device for a tempering furnace, while the water collection tank 205 collects water ejected from the water supply mechanism to prevent contamination of the working environment.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sidewall of the grinding member 201 near the ceramic roller is curved, and the curved wall is configured to contact the outer wall of the ceramic roller. The provision of the curved wall increases the contact area between the grinding member 201 and the ceramic roller, thereby improving the grinding effect of the grinding member 201 on the ceramic roller.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first driving member 101 and the second driving member 204 are selected as servo motors, and the water supply mechanism is also provided with a water supply pump for water supply. The driving power of the servo motor is selected according to specific needs, for example, 1KW or 0.75KW, and will not be further described here.

[0043] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
