[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a flexible ceramic material feeding device, including a flexible ceramic conveyor line 10. A material feeding frame 11 is provided on the flexible ceramic conveyor line 10. A transverse moving mechanism 20 is provided on the upper end of the material feeding frame 11. A sleeve 30 is movably installed on the transverse moving mechanism 20. A mixing and feeding hopper 40 is oscillatingly installed inside the sleeve 30. The mixing and feeding hopper 40 can oscillate inside the sleeve 30 as it moves, causing air bubbles in the slurry to rise to the surface and burst. A stirring and bubble-breaking mechanism 50 is provided inside the mixing and feeding hopper 40. The material feeding frame 11 is located on the feeding section of the flexible ceramic conveyor line 10, meaning the mixing and feeding hopper 40 is used for feeding material to the mold or replenishing slurry, performing primary or secondary feeding of the slurry.
[0026] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a specific embodiment of this application, the mixing and feeding hopper 40 includes a cylindrical portion 41 and a conical portion 42. The conical portion 42 is connected to the output end of the cylindrical portion 41. The cylindrical portion 41 is movably inserted into the sleeve 30. Multiple sets of return springs 43 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the cylindrical portion 41, and the other ends of the multiple sets of return springs 43 abut against the inner wall of the sleeve 30. The outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 41 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve 30, meaning that the cylindrical portion 41 has a certain amount of swing space inside the sleeve 30. During the feeding process, to prevent the output slurry from accumulating in the same area, the sleeve 30 moves left and right on the transverse moving mechanism 20. That is, the mixing and feeding hopper 40 moves a certain distance, stops to discharge slurry, and then continues to move to the next position to discharge slurry, repeating this movement. During this feeding process, the cylindrical section 41, due to inertia and the elastic pull of the return springs 43 on both sides, will swing left and right inside the sleeve 30, thus shaking the slurry and causing air bubbles inside to rise and break. Furthermore, to prevent the feeding hopper 40 from slipping out of the sleeve 30 due to gravity, a limiting ring 44 is provided at the top of the cylindrical section 41 of the mixing and feeding hopper 40. The bottom of the limiting ring 44 abuts against the top of the sleeve 30. The outer diameter of the limiting ring 44 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 30, and sufficient movement space is reserved to ensure limiting during the swinging process.
[0027] Specifically, the mixing and distributing hopper 40 is equipped with multiple sets of inlet pipes 45, each connected to the input end of the cylindrical section 41, and an outlet pipe 46 connected to the output end of the conical section 42. The inlet pipes 45 are connected to the output end of the soft porcelain slurry batching system. To further eliminate air bubbles in the slurry, a bubble-breaking plate 47 is provided inside the outlet pipe 46. The bubble-breaking plate 47 has several slurry holes 48, and each slurry hole 48 contains a second bubble-breaking head 49. When the output slurry passes through the slurry holes 48, the air bubbles can be punctured by the second bubble-breaking head 49.
[0028] Furthermore, to facilitate determining the liquid level inside the mixing and distributing hopper 40 and controlling the infeed and discharge states, a control module is also included. Liquid level sensors are installed at both ends of the mixing and distributing hopper 40 inside the cylindrical section 41. All infeed pipes 45 and discharge pipes 46 are equipped with electrically controlled valves. The control module can control the opening or closing of the corresponding electrically controlled valves based on the liquid level signals sent by the liquid level sensors. The control module includes a central processing unit and a controller, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0029] In a specific embodiment of this application, the stirring and defoaming mechanism 50 includes a stirring rod 51, which is rotatably mounted on a mixing and feeding hopper 40 and located inside a cylindrical section 41. The mixing and feeding hopper 40 is equipped with a stirring motor 52 whose drive end is connected to the upper end of the stirring rod 51. The stirring rod 51 is provided with multiple sets of stirring blades 53, and each set of stirring blades 53 has several first defoaming heads 54 at its bottom. The first defoaming heads 54 are located at the bottom of the stirring blades 53 and can puncture some of the rising bubbles; the first defoaming head 54 located on the uppermost stirring blade 53 can also puncture bubbles on the liquid surface.
[0030] In a specific embodiment of this application, the fabric rack 11 includes uprights 12 mounted on both sides of the flexible ceramic conveyor line 10. A crossbar 13 is provided on the top of each of the two sets of uprights 12. The transverse moving mechanism 20 includes mounting plates 21 at both ends of the crossbar 13. A lead screw 22 is rotatably mounted between the two sets of mounting plates 21. One set of mounting plates 21 is equipped with a motor for driving the lead screw 22. The sleeve 30 is equipped with a slide block 31 that can cooperate with the lead screw 22. Furthermore, a guide rod 23 is provided between the two sets of mounting plates 21, and the slide block 31 is movably mounted on the guide rod 23. That is, the sleeve 30 moves by the cooperation of the lead screw 22 and the slide block 31; of course, existing moving mechanisms such as racks and pinions can also be used.
[0031] This utility model discloses a soft porcelain cloth device, which includes a mixing cloth hopper 40 for mixing slurry. After the slurry to be prepared is added to the mixing cloth hopper 40, the mixing and stirring can be completed by the stirring and degassing mechanism 50. After the mixing and preparation are completed, the cloth can be moved by the transverse moving mechanism 20. During the left and right movement of the sleeve 30, the mixing cloth hopper 40 will swing left and right inside the sleeve due to inertia, so that the bubbles generated during the stirring process will float to the surface of the slurry and break through the shaking. During the rising process, the first degassing head 54 on the stirring and degassing mechanism 50 can also puncture some of the bubbles, thereby eliminating the bubbles in the slurry.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
