Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic glazing technology, specifically to a fully automatic ceramic glazing device. Background Technology

[0002] Glaze is a vitreous layer covering the surface of ceramics. It is made by mixing mineral raw materials such as quartz, feldspar, and kaolin in a certain proportion, melting them at high temperature, and then cooling them. Glazing is a crucial step in the ceramic production process. It gives ceramics a smooth and beautiful appearance and enhances their durability and ease of cleaning. In the processing of some ceramic containers, the glazing method is often used, in which the ceramic body is completely immersed in the glaze slurry, so that the glaze slurry adheres evenly to the surface of the body. In some existing glazing equipment, the material is manually picked up, dipped in the glaze, and then placed in the container. Manual picking and dipping need to be done one by one, which is slow and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of each picking and dipping, which may lead to uneven glaze thickness, glaze defects, and other problems, affecting product quality.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this utility model provides a technical solution: a fully automatic ceramic glazing device, comprising: a glazing tank 1, which is a cavity with an opening at the top; a loading and unloading assembly is lifted and positioned above the glazing tank 1, the loading and unloading assembly includes a support frame 7 that can be lifted and moved horizontally, a driving part is provided on one side of the support frame 7 for driving the support frame 7 to move horizontally and vertically, and a suction cup part is lifted and positioned at the end of the support frame 7, the suction cup part including a loading suction cup 18 and a unloading suction cup 19 connected to a vacuum generator for driving the workpiece to be loaded, glazed and unloaded; a scraper 14 is placed inside the glazing tank 1 for maintaining appropriate fluidity of the glaze and removing foreign matter from the surface of the glaze.

[0022] It should be noted that the drive unit of this utility model drives the support frame 7 to move the feeding suction cup 18 and the unloading suction cup 19. The support frame 7 conveys the ceramic to the top of the support mesh plate 10 through the feeding suction cup 18. Then, the feeding cylinder 8 drives the feeding suction cup 18 to retract and reset upwards. At the same time, the support frame 7 moves the feeding suction cup 18 to the material picking position, and the unloading suction cup 19 is located at the top of the support mesh plate 10. The unloading cylinder 9 extends and drives the unloading suction cup 19 to move downwards into the ceramic at the top of the support mesh plate 10. The drive unit drives the support mesh plate 10 to move downwards. During this period, the scraper 14 moves from right to left to scrape the glaze surface and maintain... The appropriate fluidity of the glaze and the removal of foreign matter from the glaze surface allow the outer surface of the ceramic to be inserted into the glaze. During this process, the feeding cylinder 8 drives the feeding suction cup 18 to extend, so that the feeding suction cup 18 adsorbs and fixes the workpiece to be fed below. When the drive unit drives the support mesh plate 10 to rise, the ceramic with the feeding and the ceramic after feeding are lifted. When the feeding cylinder 8 and the unloading cylinder 9 retract, they drive the ceramic to rise. The drive unit drives the support frame 7 to move laterally, conveying the fed ceramic to a side conveying device. The ceramic to be glazed is placed on top of the support mesh plate 10. This rotation realizes the feeding, glazing and unloading of materials.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a feeding platform 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the glazing tank 1, and a positioning ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding platform 2. A conveyor for receiving materials is provided on the side of the glazing tank 1 away from the feeding platform 2.

[0024] It should be noted that the height of the feeding platform 2 of this utility model is the same as that of the supporting mesh plate 10 during glazing. This facilitates the contact between the feeding suction cup 18 and the workpiece to be glazed when the ceramic is fixed in the glaze pool by the unloading suction cup 19. Under the action of the positioning ring 17, the workpiece is placed in the positioning ring 17, which can position the workpiece to be glazed so that its center corresponds to the center of the feeding suction cup 18. After the workpiece on the top of the supporting mesh plate 10 is glazed, the supporting frame 7 is raised, and the feeding cylinder 8 and the unloading cylinder 9 retract to pick up the workpiece. The supporting frame 7 moves laterally under the action of the drive unit, placing the feeding suction cup 18 above the supporting mesh plate 10 and the unloading suction cup 19 above the conveyor. Through lifting and lowering, the workpiece is placed above the conveyor for transportation.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 As shown, a liquid level sensor 15 for detecting the glaze height is fixedly connected to one end of the glaze immersion tank 1, and a feeding pipe 16 for adding glaze is installed at the other end of the glaze immersion tank 1.

[0026] It should be noted that this utility model is equipped with a controller and a corresponding operation panel. The liquid level sensor 15 is an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, used to ensure that the liquid level of the glaze is maintained within the set range, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the glazing operation. If the liquid level is too low, the controller can automatically trigger the feeding pump to work, and the feeding pump will replenish the glaze into the glazing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 16, so as to avoid affecting the product quality due to insufficient glaze.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the drive unit includes a power box 3 fixed to one end of the top of the glazing tank 1. A linear module 4 is vertically fixed inside the power box 3. A lifting frame 5 is fixed to the moving slide of the linear module 4. A support mesh plate 10 for placing materials is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame 5. An adjusting screw 20 is threadedly connected to the top of the lifting frame 5. A linear module 6 is slidably connected to one side of the lifting frame 5. The linear module 6 is horizontally placed on one side of the lifting frame 5. The linear module 6 is rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 20. The support frame 7 is fixed to the moving slide of the linear module 6.

[0028] It should be noted that the linear module 4 of this utility model is vertically fixed. The movable slide of the linear module 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 5. The linear module 6 is slidably and vertically arranged on one side of the lifting frame 5. The height of the bottom of the adjusting screw 20 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 20, thereby adjusting the height of the linear module 6. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the suction cup and the support mesh plate 10, enabling adjustment for different workpieces. The linear module 6 is horizontally fixedly connected to the movable slide of the linear module 4. The linear module 4 drives the linear module 6 to move up and down. At the same time, the linear module 4 drives the support mesh plate 10 to move up and down through the lifting frame 5. The linear module 6 drives the support frame 7 to move horizontally. The support frame 7 drives the loading suction cup 18 and the unloading suction cup 19 to move horizontally, facilitating the horizontal handling and adjustment of materials.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the suction cup part includes a feeding cylinder 8 and a discharging cylinder 9 installed at both ends of the support frame 7. The output ends of the feeding cylinder 8 and the discharging cylinder 9 are fixedly connected to the support frame 7. The fixed end of the feeding cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the feeding suction cup 18 through a metal plate, and the fixed end of the discharging cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the discharging suction cup 19 through a metal plate. The top of the feeding suction cup 18 and the discharging suction cup 19 are both fixedly connected to a metal rod that is slidably connected to the support frame 7.

[0030] It should be noted that, in this utility model, when the support frame 7 descends to the designated position, the feeding cylinder 8 and the unloading cylinder 9 retract. The feeding cylinder 8 drives the feeding suction cup 18 downward to contact the workpiece to be glazed through the metal plate. The unloading cylinder 9 drives the unloading suction cup 19 downward to contact the ceramic on the top of the support mesh plate 10 through the metal plate. When the feeding suction cup 18 picks up the material to the top of the support mesh plate 10, the unloading suction cup 19 picks up the material on the top of the support mesh plate 10 and places it on the conveyor for transportation. When the feeding suction cup 18 returns to pick up the material again, the unloading suction cup 19 fixes the ceramic on the top of the support mesh plate 10. The support frame 7 drives the support mesh plate 10 downward to be glazed.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the glazing tank 1 are rotatably connected to a drive shaft 11, and both ends of the drive shaft 11 are fixedly connected to a pulley 12. The pulleys 12 at both ends of the glazing tank 1 are connected by a drive belt 13. The scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive belt 13. A motor that drives one of the drive shafts 11 to rotate is fixedly connected to the outside of the glazing tank 1.

[0032] It should be noted that in this invention, the motor drives the transmission shaft 11 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 11 drives the transmission belt 13 to rotate through the pulley 12. The transmission belt 13 drives another transmission shaft 11 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt 13 to drive the scraper 14 to rotate continuously clockwise. The bottom of the scraper 14 is located below the liquid surface, which cyclically moves the support screen 10 to the position where it is to be lowered for glazing, removing impurities and foam below the support screen 10, thus ensuring the purity and quality of the glaze.
