Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of salt carving, and in particular to an abrasive for surface processing of salt carving. Background Technology

[0002] Salt sculpture is a process that uses high-purity, well-crystallized salt blocks as raw materials. The initial rough shaping is followed by fine grinding, polishing, and coloring, resulting in a sculpture with artistic or practical value. Salt sculptures are characterized by their distinct artistic features, pure white color, soft and malleable texture, rich details, and gentle lines. Their translucency creates unique light and shadow effects. Abrasives are used in the surface processing of salt sculptures for several reasons: first, to shape the form, removing excess material for precise contours and refining details to make expressions and hair more lifelike; second, to improve surface quality, smoothing the surface to eliminate tool marks and increase gloss, thus enhancing aesthetic value; and third, to improve processing efficiency, facilitating mass production and ensuring consistent quality. Furthermore, salt sculptures can replace manual labor, reducing labor intensity and shortening the processing cycle.

[0003] Existing abrasives for salt sculpture surface processing have different working principles. Grinding wheels consist of abrasive, binder, and pores. Power drives them to rotate at high speed, using the cutting action of abrasive particles to remove excess material from the salt sculpture surface like tiny blades. The binder ensures structural stability, and the pores assist in heat dissipation and chip removal, achieving shape trimming and preliminary polishing. Sandpaper abrasives are made by coating abrasives on a flexible substrate and moving it relative to the salt sculpture surface manually or mechanically. The friction of the abrasive scrapes and smooths out tiny protrusions, making them suitable for fine polishing pretreatment. Their flexibility allows them to conform to complex shapes. Polishing abrasives, such as wool wheels and cloth wheels, are often used with polishing agents. The friction generated by high-speed rotation causes the salt particles on the salt sculpture surface to plastically deform. The chemical components of the polishing agent dissolve or soften tiny imperfections, working together to fill in pits and scratches, improving the appearance quality and artistic value of the salt sculpture.

[0004] In the field of salt sculpture surface processing, the abrasives currently used have obvious shortcomings in actual operation. Although various abrasives can complete the task of polishing the surface of salt sculptures, their poor adaptability becomes apparent when faced with salt sculptures of different sizes. Due to the lack of a flexible structural design to adapt to salt sculptures of different sizes, equipment for polishing small salt sculptures is unable to perform effective work on large salt sculptures, and vice versa. This means that processors have to frequently change the corresponding special equipment when processing salt sculptures of different specifications, which greatly wastes time and energy, seriously restricts the efficient operation of abrasives used for salt sculpture surface processing, and hinders the improvement of the overall production efficiency of the salt sculpture processing industry.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a grinding tool for surface processing of salt sculptures, including a base plate 1, a fixed plate 2 slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1 for fixing the salt sculpture, a connecting column 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 2 for fixing the fixed plate 2 to the base plate 1, a fixing component provided inside the connecting column 3 for fixing the fixed plate 2, a plurality of sliding grooves 11 provided inside the fixed plate 2 for accommodating the sliding column 8, and a plurality of clamping components provided inside the fixed plate 2 for clamping the salt sculpture;

[0034] Each fixing component includes a fixing pin 4, a limiting plate 5, and a spring 6. The outer wall of each fixing pin 4 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting post 3 to fix the fixing plate 2. The inner wall of each limiting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing pin 4 to limit the movement range of the fixing pin 4. Each spring 6 is disposed inside the connecting post 3 to provide elastic force to the fixing pin 4. One end of each spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting post 3, and the other end of each spring 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing pin 4. Each clamping component includes a sliding block 7 and multiple sliding posts 8. Each sliding block 7 has a fixed ring 9 and a second spring 10. The outer wall of each sliding block 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 2 to connect the fixed ring 9. One end of each sliding post 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 7 to limit the movement range of the sliding block 7. The bottom of each fixed ring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 7 to fix the salt sculpture. Each second spring 10 is set inside the fixed plate 2 to provide elastic force for the contraction of the sliding block 7. One end of each second spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed plate 2, and the other end of each second spring 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 7.

[0035] Specifically, in the salt sculpture surface processing procedure, when it is necessary to fix the salt sculpture, the staff first selects the most suitable fixing plate 2 based on the specific size, shape, and material characteristics of the salt sculpture to be polished. After selection, the connecting post 3 at the bottom of the fixing plate 2 is inserted into the insertion hole of the bottom plate 1. When it is inserted to the bottom, the internal spring 6 exerts force to pop out the fixing pin 4 and fix the fixing plate 2. Then, the staff holds the fixing ring 9 with both hands and pulls it outward smoothly. As the pulling action is performed, the area in the middle of the fixing ring 9 gradually expands until it is large enough to easily accommodate the salt sculpture to be polished. At this time, the staff places the salt sculpture in the center of the fixing plate 2. After it is properly placed, the staff releases their hands. The fixing ring 9 rebounds under the strong elastic force of the spring 10 and fits against the sides of the salt sculpture, firmly fixing the salt sculpture from all directions, providing a stable and reliable operating foundation for the subsequent polishing process.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5A movable frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 to accommodate the sliding disc 13. The sliding disc 13 is slidably connected inside the movable frame 12 to drive the grinder 15 to move. A fixed column 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding disc 13 to connect to the grinder 15. The grinder 15 is also fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 14 to drive the grinding wheel 20. A telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the grinder 15 to control the distance of the grinding wheel 20. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 16 to connect to the grinding wheel 20. A fixing ring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 17 to limit the grinding wheel 20. The moving range is 0. Multiple locking blocks 19 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ring 18 for fixing the grinding wheel 20. The grinding wheel 20 is slidably connected to one end of the connecting rod 17 for polishing the salt carving. Multiple fixing strips 21 are slidably connected inside the grinding wheel 20 for connecting with the locking blocks 19. Each fixing strip 21 is fixedly connected to one side of a lever strip 22 for levering the fixing strip 21. Each fixing strip 21 is provided with a spring 23 at one end to provide elastic force to the fixing strip 21. One end of each spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of the grinding wheel 20, and the other end of each spring 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing strip 21.

[0037] Specifically, when preparing to polish the salt sculpture, the operator first needs to adjust the position of the polishing machine 15. At this time, the operator holds the polishing machine 15 with both hands and gently pushes it along the moving frame 12 using the smooth sliding mechanism of the sliding plate 13, until it reaches the ideal position for precise polishing of the salt sculpture. After the position is adjusted, the operator selects the appropriate grinding wheel 20 according to the material of the salt sculpture and the required level of fineness. Then, the operator pinches the lever 22 on one side of the grinding wheel 20 with their fingers and pulls it to the bottom. 2. After reaching the bottom position, the operator aligns the hole in the middle of the grinding wheel 20 with the position of the fixing ring 18 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 17, so that the locking block 19 on one side of the fixing ring 18 can enter the corresponding groove reserved inside the grinding wheel 20. When the locking block 19 is successfully entered, the operator slowly releases the lever 22. At this time, the fixing bar 21 slides into the pre-set groove inside the locking block 19 under the elastic force of the spring 3 23. At this time, the grinding wheel 20 is fixed on the connecting rod 17. Thus, the preparation work before grinding is completed, laying a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the salt carving grinding operation.

[0038] Working principle: When using the abrasive for salt sculpture surface processing, first fix the salt sculpture to be polished. Select the fixing plate 2 according to the salt sculpture to be polished, and then insert the connecting post 3 at the bottom of the plate 1. Then pull the fixing ring 9 outward so that the middle area is large enough to accommodate the salt sculpture to be polished. Then place the salt sculpture on the fixing plate 2, loosen the fixing ring 9 so that it fits against the salt sculpture under the elastic force of the spring 10, and fix the salt sculpture. Then use the sliding plate 13 to adjust the position of the polishing machine 15, and then select the grinding wheel 20 to be used. Move the lever 22 on one side to the bottom, and then align the hole in the middle of the grinding wheel 20 with the fixing ring 18 on the outer wall of the connecting rod 17 so that the locking block 19 on one side of the fixing ring 18 enters the grinding wheel 20. Then loosen the lever 22 so that the fixing bar 21 slides into the locking block 19 under the action of the spring 23, thereby fixing the grinding wheel 20.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
