Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to demolding tools, specifically demolding tools for ceramic blanks. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic molding is an ancient handmade porcelain-making technique, mainly used to make ceramic blanks. The basic steps in making ceramic blanks mainly involve using molds to imprint the desired ceramic shape. In the ceramic molding process, suitable clay is kneaded into the mold and then trimmed to form a blank that conforms to the shape of the mold. Molding technology can ensure the standardization and large-scale production of products and is still one of the widely used processes in modern ceramic production. Therefore, the demolding tool for ceramic molding is one of the most important tools in the production of ceramic molds.
[0003] Currently, most demolding tools for ceramic blanks on the market have many defects and shortcomings. These tools are only compatible with a single type of mold and cannot be applied to molds of different shapes and sizes, resulting in low practicality. They also suffer from incomplete demolding, which damages the ceramic blank and affects the quality of the finished ceramic product. Therefore, this utility model proposes a demolding tool for ceramic blanks to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a demolding tool for ceramic blanks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The demolding tool for ceramic blanks includes an operating table, a fixing device, a demolding device, and a blower. The operating table and the fixing device are fastened together, the demolding device is fastened together to the operating table, and the blower is fastened together to the demolding device. There are two fixing devices, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating table. The demolding device and the blower are located above the fixing devices.
[0007] The operating table serves as the installation base, used to connect and fix other components. It can also be used to place molds for easy operation by staff. The fixing device is used to fix and calibrate the ceramic blanks that need to be demolded, preventing the molds from shifting during demolding and causing defects in the produced ceramic blanks. The demolding device is used to separate the ceramic blanks from the molds to achieve the purpose of demolding. The blower device is used to generate a strong airflow, which can dry the molds and also create gaps between the molds and the ceramic blanks, making the demolding process faster and more convenient, and improving the quality of the ceramic blanks. Two fixing devices are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating table, ensuring even force on the molds and making the mold fixation more secure and reliable.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a first mounting bracket, a first telescopic pump, and a positioning plate. The first mounting bracket is fastened to the operating table, the fixed end of the first telescopic pump is fastened to the first mounting bracket, the output end of the first telescopic pump is threadedly connected to the positioning plate, and the movement direction of the positioning plate is horizontal.
[0009] The first mounting bracket serves as the mounting base, used to connect and fix the first telescopic pump. The first telescopic pump acts as a power source, driving the positioning plate to move linearly. When the first telescopic pump extends, the positioning plate clamps the mold, thus fixing the mold. When the first telescopic pump retracts, the positioning plate releases the mold, facilitating the recovery of the mold by the workers. Furthermore, the output end of the first telescopic pump is threadedly connected to the positioning plate, allowing the positioning plate to be replaced, enabling the demolding of ceramic blanks of different sizes and dimensions.
[0010] Furthermore, the demolding device includes a second mounting bracket, a motor, a slider, a slide rail, and a lead screw. The second mounting bracket is fastened to the operating table, the slide rail is fastened to the second mounting bracket, the fixed end of the motor is fastened to the slide rail, the output end of the motor is fastened to one end of the lead screw, the end of the lead screw away from the motor is rotatably connected to the slide rail, and the slider and the lead screw are threaded together.
[0011] The second mounting bracket serves as the mounting base for connecting and fixing other components. The motor acts as the power source, providing torque to the lead screw to make it rotate. Because the slider and the lead screw are connected by threads, the slider can perform reciprocating linear motion on the lead screw. The slide rail provides the mounting base and motion trajectory for the slider's movement.
[0012] Furthermore, the demolding device also includes a second telescopic pump and a suction cup. The fixed end of the second telescopic pump is fastened to the slider, and the output end of the second telescopic pump is fastened to the suction cup.
[0013] The second telescopic pump serves as a power source, driving the suction cup to move back and forth vertically. When the second telescopic pump extends, the suction cup adheres to the bottom of the ceramic blank. When the second telescopic pump retracts, the suction cup adheres to the ceramic blank and moves upward together, allowing the mold and the ceramic blank to separate stably. The use of the suction cup to separate the ceramic blank is applicable to ceramic blanks of different shapes and sizes, improving the practicality of the demolding tool.
[0014] Furthermore, the blower includes a hot air blower and an air supply duct. The hot air blower and the fixed end of the second mounting bracket are fastened together, and the air supply duct and the output end of the hot air blower are connected.
[0015] The hot air blower, as a power source, generates negative pressure and provides a strong hot airflow, which can create a gap between the mold and the ceramic blank, making the demolding process faster and more convenient. It can also dry the ceramic blank and blow away impurities on it. The air supply pipe is used to transport the airflow generated by the hot air blower to the connection between the mold and the ceramic blank, making it easier to demold the ceramic blank.
[0016] Furthermore, there are several air supply ducts, and the output direction of several air supply ducts is towards the control panel.
[0017] Several air supply ducts are set up towards the mold to ensure that the ceramic blank is subjected to uniform air force without damage, and to fully separate the mold and the ceramic blank, resulting in higher demolding efficiency, better quality ceramic blanks, and better quality finished ceramic products in the later production.
[0018] Furthermore, with the suction cup facing the operating table, the suction cup can perform both vertical and horizontal movements simultaneously.
[0019] The suction cups can move vertically and horizontally simultaneously when facing the operating table, enabling the demolding of ceramic blanks while transporting them to the next process flow. This achieves automated demolding and greatly improves production efficiency.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model is equipped with a fixing device to fix and calibrate the ceramic blank that needs to be demolded, so that the mold will not shift during the demolding process, resulting in defects in the produced ceramic blank. A blower device is set up to generate a strong airflow, which can dry the mold and also create a gap between the mold and the ceramic blank, making the demolding process faster and more convenient, and improving the quality of the ceramic blank. The output end of the first telescopic pump is threadedly connected to the positioning plate, which can replace the positioning plate to demold ceramic blanks of different sizes and dimensions. A suction cup is set up to separate the ceramic blank and the mold, which can be applied to ceramic blanks of different shapes and sizes, improving the practicality of the demolding tool.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the demolding tool for ceramic blanks includes an operating table 1, a fixing device 2, a demolding device 3, and a blower device 4. The operating table 1 and the fixing device 2 are fastened together, the demolding device 3 and the operating table 1 are fastened together, and the blower device 4 and the demolding device 3 are fastened together. There are two fixing devices 2, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating table 1. The demolding device 3 and the blower device 4 are located above the fixing devices 2.
[0030] The operating table 1 serves as the installation base, used to connect and fix other components, and can also be used to place the mold for easy operation by staff. The fixing device 2 is used to fix and calibrate the ceramic blank that needs to be demolded, so that the mold will not shift during the demolding process, resulting in defects in the produced ceramic blank. The demolding device 3 is used to separate the ceramic blank from the mold to achieve the purpose of demolding. The blower device 4 is used to generate a strong airflow, which can dry the mold and also create a gap between the mold and the ceramic blank, making the demolding process faster and more convenient, and improving the quality of the ceramic blank. Two fixing devices 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating table 1 to ensure that the mold is subjected to uniform force and that the mold is more firmly and reliably fixed.
[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the fixing device 2 includes a first mounting frame 21, a first telescopic pump 22 and a positioning plate 23. The first mounting frame 21 is fastened to the operating table 1. The fixed end of the first telescopic pump 22 is fastened to the first mounting frame 21. The output end of the first telescopic pump 22 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 23. The movement direction of the positioning plate 23 is horizontal.
[0032] The first mounting bracket 21 serves as the mounting base for connecting and fixing the first telescopic pump 22. The first telescopic pump 22 serves as the power source for driving the positioning plate 23 to move linearly. When the first telescopic pump 22 extends, the positioning plate 23 clamps the mold to fix it. When the first telescopic pump 22 retracts, the positioning plate 23 releases the mold, making it easy for workers to retrieve the mold. The output end of the first telescopic pump 22 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 23, allowing the positioning plate 23 to be replaced, thus enabling the demolding of ceramic blanks of different sizes and dimensions.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the demolding device 3 includes a second mounting bracket 31, a motor 32, a slider 33, a slide rail 34, and a lead screw 35. The second mounting bracket 31 is fastened to the operating table 1. The slide rail 34 is fastened to the second mounting bracket 31. The fixed end of the motor 32 is fastened to the slide rail 34. The output end of the motor 32 is fastened to one end of the lead screw 35. The end of the lead screw 35 away from the motor 32 is rotatably connected to the slide rail 34. The slider 33 and the lead screw 35 are threaded together.
[0034] The second mounting bracket 31 serves as the mounting base for connecting and fixing other components. The motor 32 serves as the power source for providing torque to the lead screw 35, causing the lead screw 35 to rotate. Because the slider 33 and the lead screw 35 are threadedly connected, the slider 33 can perform reciprocating linear motion on the lead screw 35. The slide rail 34 provides the mounting base and motion trajectory for the movement of the slider 33.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the demolding device 3 also includes a second telescopic pump 36 and a suction cup 37. The fixed end of the second telescopic pump 36 is fastened to the slider 33, and the output end of the second telescopic pump 36 is fastened to the suction cup 37.
[0036] The second telescopic pump 36 serves as a power source, driving the suction cup 37 to move back and forth vertically. When the second telescopic pump 36 extends, the suction cup 37 adheres to the bottom of the ceramic blank. When the second telescopic pump 36 retracts, the suction cup 37 adheres to the ceramic blank and moves upward together, so that the mold and the ceramic blank are stably separated. The use of the suction cup 37 to separate the ceramic blank can be applied to ceramic blanks of different shapes and sizes, improving the practicality of the demolding tool.
[0037] like Figure 4As shown, the blower 4 includes a hot air blower 41 and an air supply duct 42. The hot air blower 41 and the fixed end of the second mounting bracket 31 are fastened together, and the air supply duct 42 and the output end of the hot air blower 41 are connected.
[0038] The hot air blower 41 serves as a power source to generate negative pressure and provide a strong hot airflow, which can create a gap between the mold and the ceramic blank, making the demolding process faster and more convenient. It can also dry the ceramic blank and blow away impurities on it. The air supply pipe 42 is used to transport the airflow generated by the hot air blower 41 to the connection between the mold and the ceramic blank, making it easier to demold the ceramic blank.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, there are several air supply ducts 42, and the output direction of several air supply ducts 42 is towards the operating table 1.
[0040] Several air supply ducts are set up with 42-way orientation to the mold, so that the ceramic blank is subjected to uniform air force without damage. This allows for full separation between the mold and the ceramic blank, resulting in higher demolding efficiency, better quality ceramic blanks, and better quality finished ceramic products.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the suction cup 37 faces the operating table 1, and the suction cup 37 can perform both vertical and horizontal movements simultaneously.
[0042] The suction cup 37, facing the operating table 1, can move vertically and horizontally simultaneously, enabling the demolding of the ceramic blank while transporting it to the next process flow. This achieves automated demolding and greatly improves production efficiency.
[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The operator places the ceramic blank to be demolded on the operating table 1, selects a suitable positioning plate 23 and installs it on the first telescopic pump 22. The first telescopic pump 22 extends, driving the positioning plate 23 to move linearly toward the mold until the mold is firmly fixed. The second telescopic pump 36 extends, driving the suction cup 37 to move toward the ceramic blank until the suction cup 37 adheres to the bottom of the ceramic blank. At the same time, the hot air blower 41 provides negative pressure to generate hot air to dry the ceramic blank and create a gap between the ceramic blank and the mold. Then, the second telescopic pump 36 retracts, driving the suction cup 37 and the ceramic blank to move upward, so that the ceramic blank and the mold are completely separated. The motor 32 outputs torque to rotate the lead screw 35, thereby causing the slider 33 to move linearly. The slider 33 drives the suction cup 37 and the ceramic blank to move linearly. When they reach the next processing device, the second telescopic pump 36 extends until the ceramic blank is placed on a flat surface. The suction cup 37 is then released. The first telescopic pump 22 retracts, releasing the fixation on the mold, and the operator retrieves the mold.
