Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rolling processing equipment technology, specifically to a quantitative cutting and extrusion machine for CNC forming of daily-use ceramics. Background Technology

[0002] Everyday ceramics encompass various forms such as bowls, plates, basins, and cups, each with multiple shapes and sizes. These ceramics, varying in shape and size, are typically produced using a rolling mill production line. In this process, cut clay strips are placed into plaster molds and then conveyed by a conveyor belt to the bottom of the rolling mill, where they are rolled into shape by high-speed rotating rollers. The amount of clay strips used in this process needs to be adjusted according to the ceramic form being produced, usually based on the length of the cut strips. Traditional clay extrusion machines typically cut clay strips of a fixed length during operation, making it impossible to produce differentiated strip lengths without stopping the machine. Therefore, this method cannot meet the needs of continuous production of various types of small-batch everyday ceramic sets. A new type of equipment is needed to solve these problems.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a quantitative cutting and extrusion machine for CNC forming of daily-use ceramics includes a frame 1. A cylinder assembly is provided on the top surface of the frame 1. The cylinder assembly has a built-in screw conveyor shaft 3. The cylinder assembly includes a transfer box 7. The first end of the transfer box 7 is connected to the flange of the geared motor 2. The transfer box 7 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw conveyor shaft 3. The tail end of the transfer box 7 is connected to a feeding cylinder 8. The mud inlet on the side of the feeding cylinder 8 is provided with a slide 801. The slide 801 is installed on the top surface of the frame 1 through a support 802. The tail end of the feeding cylinder 8 is connected to a vacuum cylinder 9. The top of the vacuum cylinder 9 is connected to a vacuum box 10. The vacuum box 10 is connected to a vacuum pump. The tail end of the vacuum cylinder 9 is connected to several shells 11. Optional annular heating rods are installed inside the shells 11. The tail end of the outermost shell 11 is connected to a mud outlet 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, the slide 801 is connected to the feeding mechanism, which includes a ramp 13. The upper bearing seat of the ramp 13 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 14. The end of the drive shaft 14 is connected to the output end of the feeding motor 15. The lower bearing seat of the ramp 13 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft 16. The gear discs on the same side of the drive and driven shafts are connected by chain rings 17. The chain rings 17 on both sides are connected to the bottom of the mud support trough plate 18 between corresponding chain links. The top of the ramp 13 is provided with a mud pusher 19. The bottom surface of the top plate of the mud pusher 19 is provided with a rodless cylinder 20. The output end of the rodless cylinder 20 is connected to the mud pusher plate 21. The mud pusher plate 21 cooperates with the channel of the uppermost mud support trough plate 18. The channel of the uppermost mud support trough plate 18 points to the mud inlet of the feed cylinder 8.

[0022] In this embodiment, the mud outlet 12 is located below the cross frame 4 in the cutting assembly. The cutting assembly includes a mud-cutting cylinder 23. The output end of the mud-cutting cylinder 23 is vertically connected to the base plate 24. The two sides of the base plate 24 are slidably connected to the vertical rails 401 on the two pillars of the cross frame 4. The lower ends of the two support rods 2401 of the base plate 24 are connected to the two ends of the mud-cutting blade 25. The two pillars of the cross frame 4 are connected to the head end of the probe arm 5. The hinge seat on the top surface of the end of the probe arm 5 is hinged to the steering rod 28 in the suction cup assembly. The suction cup assembly includes a mud-feeding cylinder 26. The output end of the mud-feeding cylinder 26 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 27. The cylinder seat of the mud-feeding cylinder 26 is installed in the middle of the steering rod 28. One end of the steering rod 28 is connected to the crank arm 29. The lower end of the crank arm 29 is hinged to the output end of the steering cylinder 30. The cylinder body end of the steering cylinder 30 is hinged to the side of the probe arm 5. When the steering cylinder 30 retracts, the mud feeding cylinder 26 rotates to the horizontal position, at which time the vacuum suction cup 27 points towards the mud outlet 12; when the steering cylinder 30 extends, the mud feeding cylinder 26 rotates to the vertical position, at which time the vacuum suction cup 27 faces the conveyor belt surface below.

[0023] In this embodiment, the probe arm 5 is connected to a metering component, which includes a linear actuator 22. The linear actuator 22 is mounted on the top surface of the probe arm 5 via a bracket. The pushing direction of the linear actuator 22 is parallel to the central axis of the cylinder assembly. The output end of the linear actuator 22 is connected to the bottom bracket of the probe 6. The detection direction of the probe 6 is perpendicular to the central axis of the cylinder assembly. When the probe 6 detects the head of the extruded mud strip, it can instruct the mud cutting cylinder 23 to push the mud cutting blade 25 down to cut the mud strip, thereby obtaining a mud strip of the target length.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] Place the mud rods into the channels of the mud support plate 18, start the feeding motor 15, and climb the mud support plate 18 one by one to the top. Start the rodless cylinder 20 to push the top mud rods into the feeding cylinder 8 through the slide 801. Start the reduction motor 2 to drive the screw conveyor shaft 3 to rotate and push the mud rods. The mud rods are vacuumed by the vacuum cylinder 9 to obtain better mud plasticity and continue to be pushed to the mud outlet 12 for extrusion. Start the linear actuator 22 to move the probe 6 to the appropriate position. When the probe 6 detects the head of the extruded mud strip, When the mud extrusion stops, the mud feeding cylinder 26 is horizontal. The mud feeding cylinder 26 pushes the vacuum suction cup 27 to contact the end face of the mud strip, and the vacuum suction cup 27 is activated to suck up the mud strip. The mud cutting cylinder 23 pushes the mud cutting blade 25 down to cut the mud strip. The mud feeding cylinder 26 retracts the vacuum suction cup 27. The steering cylinder 30 pushes the mud feeding cylinder 26 to rotate to the vertical position. The mud feeding cylinder 26 extends again to put the mud strip into the mold on the conveyor belt. After the vacuum suction cup 27 releases the mud strip, it resets. The mud feeding cylinder 26 rotates to the horizontal position and enters the next action cycle.

[0026] This utility model's feeding mechanism automatically pushes clay rods into the cylinder assembly. The clay rods are pushed forward by the spiral conveyor shaft 3, and a vacuum is drawn in the cylinder assembly to obtain better plasticity. The adjustable probe 6 can assist the cutting assembly in quantitatively cutting the extruded clay strips. The cut clay strips are adsorbed by the suction cup assembly, flipped, and put into the mold on the conveyor belt. It has the characteristics of being fully automatic and highly applicable.
