Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ceramic production and processing equipment, specifically a clay blank cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the ceramic production and processing process, blank making is an essential step. After the clay is formed, the blank needs to be cut from the raw material. The cup handle and the cup body are usually formed separately, and then the formed cup handle is glued to the outer surface of the cup. This requires that the shape of the cut at the root of the cup handle must be adapted to the outer surface of the cup.
[0003] Existing cup handle clay blank cutting devices use a cutting wire that oscillates around an axis to cut cup handle clay blanks with an arc-shaped root. However, the cutting arc of the cutting wire cannot be adjusted, making the arc of the cup handle root unable to adapt well to different cup bodies. In the cup handle to cup body bonding process, it may be necessary to grind or fill the cup handle root, increasing the workload. Therefore, to reduce the workload, cutting wire claws need to be customized for the cutting shape of each product. Furthermore, the cutting wire is tensioned on the cutting wire claws of the mounting frame. To ensure the strength of the mounting frame and cutting wire claws, the connection points between the cutting wire and the mounting frame / cutting wire claws are prone to wear, affecting the service life of the cutting wire.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a clay blank cutting device, including a fixed shaft 3, an adjusting assembly 5, and a cutting wire 8. A clamping plate assembly 2 is installed at each end of the fixed shaft 3, and an adjusting shaft 4 is installed between the two clamping plate assemblies 2. The adjusting assembly 5 is fitted onto the fixed shaft 3 and the adjusting shaft 4. A cutting wire 8, passing through the adjusting assembly 5, is tensioned between the two clamping plate assemblies 2. By adjusting the shape of the cutting wire 8 tensioned between the two clamping plate assemblies 2 through the adjusting assembly 5, the shape of the cut at the root of the cup handle is adjusted, making the shape of the cut at the root of the cup handle more closely match the outer surface of the cup, facilitating bonding processing.
[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 includes an adjustment block 51 and a cutting claw 52. The adjustment block 51 has a fixed shaft mounting hole 58 and an adjustment shaft mounting hole 59 that pass through it. The adjustment block 51 also has a mounting groove 510 for cutting the adjustment shaft mounting hole 59. One end of the cutting claw 52 is fitted onto the adjustment shaft 4 and installed in the mounting groove 510, while the other end allows the cutting wire 8 to pass through. The cutting claw 52 can rotate around the adjustment shaft 4, thereby adjusting the shape of the cutting wire 8. The mounting groove 510 and the fixed shaft mounting hole 58 do not need to intersect, avoiding interference from the fixed shaft 3 on the movement of the cutting claw 52. Preferably, the fixed shaft mounting hole 58 and the adjustment shaft mounting hole 59 are arranged in parallel, thus arranging the fixed shaft 3 and the adjustment shaft 4 in parallel, and the mounting groove 510 is perpendicular to the fixed shaft mounting hole 58 and the adjustment shaft mounting hole 59.
[0031] It should be noted that more than one set of adjustment components 5 can be set on the fixed shaft 3 and the adjustment shaft 4 to adjust the cutting wire 8 to different shapes. For cup ear processing, the cup ear has two roots, and four sets of adjustment components 5 can be set. The two sets of adjustment components 5 at one end correspond to one cup ear root, and the two sets of adjustment components 5 at the other end correspond to the other cup ear root. The cutting wire segment located between the corresponding two sets of adjustment components 5 cuts the corresponding cup ear root. Therefore, the position of each cutting wire claw 52 can be adjusted according to the required shape of the cup ear root.
[0032] Specifically, the adjusting block 51 also has a worm screw mounting hole 514, which communicates with the mounting groove 510. A worm screw 54 is installed in the worm screw mounting hole 514. The cutting claw 52, located in the mounting groove 510, has teeth on its outer periphery that mesh with the worm screw 54. By rotating the worm screw 54, the cutting claw 52 can rotate around the adjusting shaft 4, thereby adjusting the swing angle of the cutting claw 52 relative to the adjusting block 51. Preferably, the centerline of the mounting groove 510 is located on the diameter of the worm screw mounting hole 514. By setting teeth on the outer periphery of the cutting claw 52 to cooperate with the worm screw 54, the swing angle of the cutting claw 52 relative to the adjusting block 51 can be adjusted, realizing the shape adjustment of the cutting wire 8. The structure is compact and robust, the cutting claw 52 does not need to be disassembled and customized, the adjustment is more precise and flexible, the applicability of the equipment to product shapes is increased, and the quality of the product cutting shape is improved.
[0033] Furthermore, the adjusting block 51 also has a positioning screw mounting hole 513 communicating with the fixed shaft mounting hole 58. A positioning screw 55 is installed in the positioning screw mounting hole 513. After the position of the adjusting block 51 relative to the fixed shaft 3 is determined, the positioning screw 55 is tightened to fix the adjusting block 51 in that position on the fixed shaft 3. Loosening the positioning screw 55 allows the position of the adjusting component 5 on the fixed shaft 3 to be adjusted to suit cups of different lengths. Preferably, the positioning screw mounting hole 513 is perpendicular to the fixed shaft mounting hole 58.
[0034] Furthermore, the adjusting block 51 also has a locking screw mounting hole 512 communicating with the worm screw mounting hole 514. A locking screw 57 is installed in the locking screw mounting hole 512. After the position of the cutting claw 52 is adjusted, the locking screw 57 is screwed in to make it abut against the worm screw 54, preventing the worm screw 54 from moving or coming out. Preferably, the locking screw mounting hole 512 can be set perpendicular to the worm screw mounting hole 514. Alternatively, two locking screw mounting holes 512 perpendicular to the worm screw mounting hole 514 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the worm screw mounting hole 514, so that the locking screw 57 can be screwed in from both sides simultaneously to fix the worm screw 54.
[0035] Furthermore, the adjusting block 51 also has a clamping screw mounting hole 511 communicating with the mounting groove 510. A clamping screw 56 is installed in the clamping screw mounting hole 511. After the position of the cutting claw 52 is adjusted by the worm screw 54, the clamping screw 56 is screwed in to abut against the cutting claw 52 and prevent the cutting claw 52 from moving. Preferably, the clamping screw mounting hole 511 is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting groove 510.
[0036] Furthermore, one end of the cutting claw 52 is fitted onto the adjusting shaft 4 and installed in the mounting groove 510, while the other end is provided with an eyelet pin 53, through which the cutting wire 8 passes.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the clamping plate assembly 2 includes a clamping plate 21. The clamping plate 21 has a wire-passing hole 27, a fixed shaft mounting hole 26, and an adjusting shaft mounting hole 25. A winding block 22 and a first pressure plate 23 are provided between the wire-passing hole 27 and the adjusting shaft mounting hole 25. A second pressure plate 24 is provided on the side of the first pressure plate 23 facing away from the clamping plate 21. The side of the winding block 22 facing away from the clamping plate 21 is an arc-shaped surface. A wire groove 221 extending from the first pressure plate 23 to the wire-passing hole 27 is provided on the arc-shaped surface. One end of the wire groove 221 is located above the wire-passing hole 27. The cutting wire 8, fixed between the first pressure plate 23 and the second pressure plate 24, passes through the wire groove 221 on the arc-shaped winding block 22 and through the wire hole 27. The wire groove 221 maintains the large bending angle of the cutting wire 8, reducing wear on the cutting wire 8. It should be noted that the side of the first pressure plate 23 near the second pressure plate 24 is on the same plane as the end of the wire groove 221 near the first pressure plate 23, which reduces wear on the cutting wire 8.
[0038] The winding block 22, the first pressure plate 23, the second pressure plate 24, and the eyelet pin 53 can be made of materials with lower hardness than the cutting wire 8. The bending curvature of the cutting wire 8 is controlled, so that the life of the cutting wire 8 is only affected by the wear of the mud being cut, resulting in a longer and more stable service life. Preferably, the cutting wire 8 is made of stainless steel hard wire, the winding block 22 is made of high-polymer self-lubricating material, the first pressure plate 23 and the second pressure plate 24 are made of aluminum, and the eyelet pin 53 is made of brass, which has wear-resistant characteristics.
[0039] Furthermore, the clamping plate 21 is also provided with a bearing mounting hole 28 and a drive device connection hole 29. The bearing mounting hole 28 is used to mount the bearing seat 1 through the rotating shaft 11. One end of the rotating shaft 11 is installed in the central hole of the bearing seat 1, and the other end is connected to the clamping plate 21. The clamping plate 21 is connected to the drive device through the drive device connection hole 29. The drive device drives the clamping plate 21 to rotate around the rotating shaft 11, which in turn drives the cutting wire 8 to separate the formed cup ear from the mud. The equipment can operate in muddy, watery, and dusty environments, and it is also convenient to perform dustproof and lubrication treatment on the rotating shaft 11 and the inside of the bearing seat 1.
[0040] Furthermore, a fixing seat 7 is also provided on the clamping plate 21. The fixing seat 7, the winding block 22, and the first pressure plate 23 are located on the same side. The wire roll 6 is installed on the fixing seat 7 and can rotate on the fixing seat 7. This clay blank cutting device can be fixedly installed on the forming mechanism through the bearing seat 1, or it can be installed on other supports. The cutting wire 8 wound on the wire roll 6 passes between the first pressure plate 23 and the second pressure plate 24 at this end. The fixing screw on the second pressure plate 24 clamps the cutting wire 8 between the first pressure plate 23 and the second pressure plate 24. The cutting wire 8 continues to pass through the wire groove 221, through the wire hole 27, and then through four air nails 53 in sequence. It passes through the wire hole 27 at the other end, through the wire groove 221 at the other end, and is fixed between the first pressure plate 23 and the second pressure plate 24 at the other end. Loosening the fixing screws on the second pressure plates 24 at both ends allows for the periodic and rapid pulling out of the cutting wire segment in use. Tightening the fixing screws on the second pressure plates 24 at both ends then removes the previously used cutting wire segment, enabling rapid replacement of the cutting wire 8.
[0041] The clay blank cutting device provided by this utility model can be used with an automated control device to cut ceramic cup handle clay blanks. The cut clay blank cross-section fits well with the curvature of the cup body, which is convenient for subsequent processing. The device can achieve precise fine adjustment for different products, the cutting wire has a stable life and is easy to use.
