Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic production technology, specifically to a ceramic throwing machine with a humidification component. Background Technology

[0002] The potter's wheel, as a mechanical device, was a major revolution in the history of ceramics. It not only greatly improved production efficiency but also endowed the vessels with a more rounded and exquisite soul. It is one of the most important and widely used pieces of equipment in ceramic production. Without it, pottery making would still be stuck in the era of hand-cranked and foot-operated methods, and the popularization of pottery would be out of the question. From the slow wheel to the potter's wheel, it is a process of human beings utilizing and modifying tools, and also a process of human civilization's evolution. Existing potter's wheels cannot humidify the ceramic blanks in time, requiring the operator to wet their hands in a basin of water while shaping. This cumbersome process undoubtedly increases the difficulty of operation and can easily lead to deformation or scrap of the shaped blanks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ceramic potter's wheel with a humidification component. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ceramic potter's wheel with a humidification component. This machine has the advantage of being able to humidify the ceramic blank by opening and closing the nozzle via a pedal, and the nozzle height can be adjusted by the movable shell that moves up and down. This solves the tedious process of constantly interrupting the shaping process to wet the hands when manually shaping ceramic blanks.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A ceramic potter's wheel with a humidification component includes an operating platform and a potter's wheel area fixed to one side of the operating platform, a servo motor and a controller fixed below the operating platform, and the potter's wheel area and the servo motor are located on the same axis.

[0007] As an optimization, the pottery pulling area includes a sludge storage basin fixed on the operating platform, a movable shell fitted on the shell wall of the sludge storage basin, and an atomizing nozzle embedded in one side of the movable shell.

[0008] As an optimization, a movable block extends from the inside of the movable shell toward the center of the sludge basin, and the movable blocks on both sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] As an optimization, a mating block is fixed to both the sludge basin and the outer side of the movable shell, and the two mating blocks are parallel and pivotally connected to the lead screw on the lower mating block, and the lead screw is threadedly engaged with the upper mating block.

[0010] The aforementioned lead screw and two pedals are all positioned facing the operator. When dealing with ceramic blanks of different sizes, it is only necessary to manually rotate the handle below the lead screw. The lead screw and the lead screw nut of the top mating block are used for transmission, which in turn drives the movable shell to move up and down on the sludge basin. The height can also be adjusted to prevent sludge from splashing during manual shaping.

[0011] As an optimization, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the sludge storage basin at positions corresponding to the movable block, so that the movable shell can move on the sludge storage basin.

[0012] Because the sludge basin and the movable shell are connected by the sliding engagement of the movable block and the sliding groove, the movable shell can slide. Furthermore, due to the symmetrical arrangement of the movable block and the sliding groove, the movable shell has two points of force on the sludge basin. Therefore, when driven solely by the lead screw, the movable shell will not deviate.

[0013] As an optimization, a splash guard extending in the same direction as the movable block is provided at the top of the movable shell.

[0014] As an optimization, a water tank and a miniature water pump that is electrically connected to the controller are fixed on one side of the operating platform, and the fixed position of the water tank is opposite to that of the lead screw.

[0015] As an optimization, a main control pedal and an auxiliary pedal are electrically connected to one side of the controller. The two pedals control the opening and closing of the servo motor and the atomizing nozzle, respectively.

[0016] As an optimization, both the main control pedal and the auxiliary pedal are normally closed contact switches.

[0017] As an optimization, a switch is provided on the controller.

[0018] As an optimization, the atomizing nozzle is set at an angle, with the nozzle facing the center of the sludge basin.

[0019] As an optimization, a potter's wheel is installed inside the sludge storage basin, which is connected to the shaft of a low-end servo motor.

[0020] Beneficial effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: This utility model is a ceramic throwing machine with a humidification component;

[0022] By using the atomizing nozzle placed at an angle on the movable shell, when water needs to be added to the ceramic blank during shaping, simply step on the control pedal to transmit an electrical signal to the controller, which will drive the water pump to introduce water to the atomizing nozzle. The water is then sprayed out in atomized form using high pressure to humidify the ceramic blank.

[0023] Because the outer shell of the waste basin is movable, it can be moved up and down by a movable bolt on one side. This allows the height of the atomizing spray fixed on the movable shell to be adjusted when dealing with ceramic blanks of different heights and volumes, so that the water mist spray direction can be directly aimed at the operator's hand and the ceramic blank.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Example

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 A ceramic potter's wheel with a humidification component includes an operating platform 2, a potter's wheel zone 1 fixed to one side of the operating platform 2, a servo motor 6 and a controller 3 fixed below the operating platform 2, and the potter's wheel zone 1 and the servo motor 6 are located on the same axis.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drawing area 1 includes a sludge basin 101 fixed on the operating platform 2, a movable shell 102 sleeved on the shell wall of the sludge basin 101, and an atomizing nozzle 104 fitted on one side of the movable shell 102.

[0034] In this embodiment, a movable block 33 extends from the inner side of the movable shell 102 toward the center of the sludge basin 101, and the movable blocks 33 on both sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0035] In this embodiment, a mating block is fixed to the outside of both the sludge basin 101 and the movable shell 102, and the two mating blocks are parallel and pivotally connected to the lead screw 111 on the lower mating block, and the lead screw 111 is threadedly engaged with the upper mating block.

[0036] The aforementioned lead screw 111 and the two pedals are all oriented towards the operator. When dealing with ceramic blanks of different volumes, it is only necessary to manually rotate the handle below the lead screw 111. The lead screw 111 and the lead screw nut of the top mating block are used for transmission, thereby driving the movable shell 102 to move up and down on the sludge basin 101. The height adjustment can also prevent sludge from splashing during manual shaping.

[0037] In this embodiment, sliding grooves 50 are provided on both sides of the sludge basin 101 at positions corresponding to the movable block 33, so that the movable shell 102 can move on the sludge basin 101.

[0038] Because the sludge basin 101 and the movable shell 102 are connected by the sliding engagement of the movable block 33 and the sliding groove 50, the movable shell 102 can slide. Furthermore, due to the symmetrical arrangement of the movable block 33 and the sliding groove 50, the movable shell 102 has two points of force on the sludge basin 101. Therefore, when driven solely by the lead screw 111, the movable shell 102 will not deviate.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top of the movable shell 102 is provided with a splash guard 31 that extends in the same direction as the movable block 33.

[0040] In this embodiment, a water tank 12 and a miniature water pump 13 that is fixed on the water tank 12 and electrically connected to the controller 3 are fixed on one side of the operating platform 2, and the fixed position of the water tank 12 is opposite to that of the lead screw 111.

[0041] In this embodiment, the controller 3 is electrically connected to the main control pedal 4 and the auxiliary pedal 5 on one side, and the two pedals control the opening and closing of the servo motor 6 and the atomizing nozzle 104 respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the main control pedal 4 and the auxiliary pedal 5 are normally closed contact switches.

[0043] In this embodiment, a switch is provided on the controller 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, the atomizing nozzle 104 is inclined and faces the center of the sludge basin 101.

[0045] In this embodiment, a potter's wheel 103 connected to the shaft of a low-end servo motor 6 is provided inside the sludge storage basin 101.

[0046] When using the ceramic pottery throwing machine, first turn on the switch on the controller 3 to power on the machine. Then, manually adjust the height of the movable shell 102 by using the screw 111 located on one side of the sludge basin 101. This allows the atomizing nozzle 104 on the movable shell 102 to reach the optimal height. Then, start the servo motor 6 by stepping on the main control pedal 4, which drives the pottery throwing turntable 103 to rotate via the motor shaft. When the ceramic blank needs humidification, simply step on the auxiliary pedal 5 to transmit the contact signal to the controller 3, which then turns on the micro water pump 13 to pump water to the atomizing nozzle 104. Since the nozzle of the atomizing nozzle 104 is facing the ceramic blank, the sprayed water mist can humidify the blank and the operator's hands, facilitating the shaping of the ceramic blank. When humidification is not needed, since both pedals are normally closed contact switches, simply releasing the pedals will stop humidification.
