[0003] However, the existing ceramic softening device has some shortcomings. First of all, in the liquid treatment aspect, the existing device often cannot effectively collect the excess liquid generated in the ceramic softening process, resulting in liquid flowing everywhere, not only affecting the neatness of the working environment, but also causing the waste of liquid. Secondly, in the uniformity of softening treatment, the existing device can not ensure that each part of the ceramic product can uniformly receive softening treatment, which may lead to inconsistency of product quality. Thirdly, the existing spraying device cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the ceramic product when spraying softening to the ceramic product, which is easy to cause the surface damage of the product due to the excessive spraying force, affecting the product quality. Finally, for the waste liquid generated in the softening process, the existing device cannot be well recycled, increasing the production cost and the pressure on the environment.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a ceramic softening device for ceramic production to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0046] It should be noted that if the utility model embodiment involves directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0047] Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of a person skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.

[0048] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a ceramic softening device for ceramic production:

[0049] This ceramic softening device includes a processing table 1, with a water collection tank 2 located at its center. The main function of the water collection tank 2 is to collect excess liquid generated during the ceramic softening process, preventing liquid from flowing around on the processing table, affecting the working environment, and causing liquid waste. Inside the water collection tank 2, there is a rotating platform 3, which can rotate the ceramic product during the softening process. This rotation function helps to ensure that all parts of the ceramic product receive the softening treatment evenly.

[0050] A bracket 4 is installed on the top left side of the processing table 1. The bracket 4 provides a support structure for the entire cantilever 5 and its related components, ensuring its stability during operation. The cantilever 5 is located on the right side of the bracket 4.

[0051] The lifting drive mechanism 6 inside the bracket 4 is used to drive the cantilever 5 to rise and fall. The lifting drive mechanism 6 consists of a first geared motor 61 installed inside the bracket 4, a first drive screw 62 connected to the output end of the first geared motor 61, and a first screw sleeve 63 threaded onto the first drive screw 62. The outer wall of the first screw sleeve 63 is connected to the left end of the cantilever 5. The first geared motor 61 serves as a power source, providing stable torque output. When the first geared motor 61 starts, its output end drives the first drive screw 62 to rotate. Since the first screw sleeve 63 and the first drive screw 62 are threadedly connected, according to the screw drive principle, the first screw sleeve 63 will move up and down along the first drive screw 62, thereby driving the cantilever 5 to achieve the lifting action. This lifting function is mainly used to lift the inner spray pipe 8 and the upper part of the ceramic container.

[0052] Below the cantilever 5 are an outer spray pipe 7 and an inner spray pipe 8, both vertically distributed. The inner spray pipe 8 has several spray nozzles evenly distributed on its inner surface. The outer spray pipe 7 primarily sprays the softening liquid onto the outer surface of the ceramic product, while the inner spray pipe 8 sprays the inner surface or internal structure of the ceramic product. The evenly distributed spray nozzles on the inner spray pipe 8 can uniformly spray the softening liquid in a mist form onto the inner surface of the ceramic product. The spray from the inner spray pipe 8 is smaller to avoid internal liquid accumulation, ensuring that the softening liquid fully covers the inner surface of the ceramic product and improves the softening effect.

[0053] Two adjustment mechanisms 11 are installed inside the cantilever 5, which are used to independently drive the outer spray pipe 7 and the inner spray pipe 8 to move left and right respectively. Each adjustment mechanism 11 consists of a second reduction motor 111 installed inside the cantilever 5, a second drive screw 112 connected to the output end of the second reduction motor 111, and a second screw sleeve 113 threaded onto the second drive screw 112. The bottom wall of the second screw sleeve 113 is connected to the top of the spray pipe at that position. The second reduction motor 111 provides power. When the second reduction motor 111 is started, its output end drives the second drive screw 112 to rotate, and the second screw sleeve 113 moves left and right along the second drive screw 112, thereby driving the corresponding spray pipe to move left and right. This left and right movement function allows the spray pipes to be positioned according to the shape and size of the ceramic product, making the distance between the outer spray pipe 7 and the inner spray pipe 8 and the inner and outer pipe walls of the ceramic product adjustable, avoiding damage to the surface of the product due to excessive spraying force.

[0054] A liquid supply mechanism 9 is installed on the processing table 1, which independently supplies liquid to the outer spray pipe 7 and the inner spray pipe 8. The liquid supply mechanism 9 includes a liquid collection tank 95 installed at the bottom of the processing table 1, two liquid extraction pipes 91 connecting to the inside of the liquid collection tank 95, a liquid extraction pump 92 connected to the top of the two liquid extraction pipes 91 respectively, a liquid guiding hose 93 connected to the liquid outlet of the two liquid extraction pumps 92 respectively, and a connecting pipe 94 connected to the liquid outlet of the two liquid guiding hoses 93 respectively. The other end of the two connecting pipes 94 is connected to the inside of the top of the outer spray pipe 7 and the inner spray pipe 8 respectively. The liquid collection tank 95 is used to store the liquid required for softening ceramics. The liquid extraction pipes 91 extract the liquid from the liquid collection tank 95, and the liquid extraction pumps 92 provide power for the extraction of liquid, ensuring sufficient pressure to transport the liquid through the liquid guiding hoses 93 and the connecting pipes 94 to the spray pipes. The liquid guiding hose 93 has a certain degree of flexibility, which can adapt to the positional changes of the spray pipe during the adjustment process, and avoid the normal movement of the spray pipe due to pipe stiffness. The connecting pipe 94 is responsible for accurately guiding the liquid into the spray pipe.

[0055] A circulation mechanism 10 is installed between the liquid collection tank 95 and the water collection trough 2. The circulation mechanism 10 consists of a drain pipe 101 connected to the outlet at the bottom of the water collection trough 2, a filter element 102 installed in the middle section of the drain pipe 101, and a circulation pump 103 installed on the front wall of the liquid collection tank 95 and connected to the outlet end of the drain pipe 101. When the circulation pump 103 starts, the liquid in the water collection trough 2 passes through the drain pipe 101, is filtered by the filter element 102, and is then transported to the liquid collection tank 95. The function of the filter element 102 is to filter out ceramic fragments, impurities, etc., that may be mixed into the liquid during the softening process, preventing these impurities from entering the liquid collection tank 95 and adversely affecting the subsequent softening process, such as clogging the spray heads or affecting the composition of the softening liquid. Through the circulation mechanism 10, the liquid can be recycled, which not only saves the amount of softening liquid used and reduces production costs, but also reduces environmental impact.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
