Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic body drying technology, specifically a ceramic body drying clamping tool. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process, ceramic blanks often require drying after the forming process. The drying effect has a crucial impact on the quality of the ceramic blanks. For example, uneven drying may lead to defects such as cracks or deformation in the ceramic blanks. In this process, the drying clamping tool plays an indispensable role. It is responsible for transferring the ceramic blank from one production stage to the drying stage. During the drying process, it may be necessary to clamp and adjust the position multiple times. Traditional clamping operations often lack a simple and effective linkage mechanism. When clamping the ceramic blank, multiple independent operation steps are usually required to adjust the clamping state. This makes the entire clamping process complex and time-consuming. For example, the operator may need to adjust different parts separately to achieve the clamping of the blank, rather than completing a precise clamping operation with a simple action. This results in low clamping efficiency in large-scale ceramic production, affecting the overall production progress. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a ceramic blank drying clamping tool, which solves the problem that traditional clamping operations usually require multiple independent operation steps to adjust the clamping state when clamping ceramic blanks, resulting in low clamping efficiency and affecting the overall production progress.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceramic blank drying and clamping tool, comprising a support, a support block fixedly connected at its center between the inner walls of the support, a sliding groove with a T-shape design above the support block, a slider slidably connected within the sliding groove, several teeth fixedly connected to the top two sides of the slider, a pull rod slidably connected at the center of the support, the pull rod passing through the support and the slider and being fixedly connected to the slider, two compression springs sleeved on the outer walls of the pull rod on both sides of the support, two baffles fixedly connected on the outer walls of the pull rod on the opposite sides of the two compression springs, and two linkage gears symmetrically rotating on one side of the support, the teeth meshing with the two linkage gears.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage gear, and there are two connecting rods, which are inclined and face opposite directions.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to a clamping plate, there are two clamping plates and they are oriented opposite each other, and four rotating rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the bracket near its end. The four rotating rods are divided into two groups, and the ends of the two groups of rotating rods are rotatably connected to the two clamping plates respectively.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a support rod is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket, the support rod is a hollow design, and the pull rod slides in the hollow part of the support rod.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod away from the bracket, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rod.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: two protective shells are provided on both sides of the bracket, and the size of the protective shells is adapted to the size of the bracket.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This ceramic blank drying clamping tool, by setting up a support block, slider, pull rod, teeth, linkage gears and clamping plates, allows the slider to slide within the groove of the support block during clamping operations. During sliding, the slider drives two linkage gears to rotate in opposite directions via the teeth on both sides. The rotation of the linkage gears drives two connecting rods to rotate. As the connecting rods rotate, they push and pull on one side of the clamping plates, causing the clamping plates to rotate around one end of the rotating rod as a center. The two clamping plates then move closer together, achieving the clamping operation. In this way, the clamping operation only requires a simple action of pulling the pull rod to achieve the linkage of a series of components, avoiding multiple independent operation steps in traditional methods, greatly improving clamping efficiency and saving operation time.
[0012] 2. This ceramic blank drying clamping tool, by setting up a support block, a slider, a compression spring, and a baffle, allows the slider to slide in the groove of the support block when the pull rod is pulled during the clamping operation. As the pull rod moves, the baffle at the end of the pull rod moves with the pull rod, so that the baffle cooperates with the support on one side of the bracket to compress the compression spring. When the clamping work is completed, the pull rod is released, and the pull rod automatically drives the slider to reset under the action of the compression spring, thereby resetting the two clamping plates. At the same time, the compression spring on the other side of the bracket cooperates with the baffle on the outer wall of the pull rod to limit the movement range of the slider. In this way, it is convenient for the operator to perform the next clamping work, thus improving the practicality of the clamping tool. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a ceramic body drying and clamping tool, including a support 1, with two protective shells 16 on each side of the support 1. The size of the protective shells 16 is adapted to the size of the support 1. Because of the protective shells 16, the internal linkage gears 9 and other components of the tool are reduced by external dust, moisture and other factors, thus extending the service life of the clamping tool. A support block 2 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the support 1 at its center position. A slide groove 3 is opened above the support block 2. The slide groove 3 is T-shaped. A slider 4 is slidably connected in the slide groove 3. Through the cooperation of the slide groove 3 and the slider 4, the T-shaped slide groove 3 can effectively prevent the slider 4 from shifting laterally during the sliding process, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the slider 4's movement, thereby improving the synchronization of the rotation of the two linkage gears 9 and the stability of the tool when clamping.
[0019] Several teeth 5 are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the slider 4. A pull rod 6 is slidably connected to the center of the bracket 1. A support rod 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket 1. The support rod 13 is hollow. The pull rod 6 slides in the hollow part of the support rod 13. Because a pull ring 15 is provided, when the operator clamps the ceramic blank, he holds the handle 14 and pulls the pull ring 15 with his fingers. The pull ring 15 drives the pull rod 6 to slide inside the bracket 1, which facilitates the clamping action of the two clamping plates 11. The end of the support rod 13 away from the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the handle 14, and the end of the pull rod 6 is fixedly connected to the pull ring 15.
[0020] The pull rod 6 passes through the bracket 1 and the slider 4 and is fixedly connected to the slider 4. Two compression springs 7 are respectively sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod 6 on both sides of the bracket 1. Because of the compression springs 7, when the pull rod 6 is released, the compression springs 7 drive the pull rod 6 to return to the initial state, thereby controlling the two clamps 11 to reset. At the same time, the two baffles 8 on the outer wall of the pull rod 6 can limit the position of the two compression springs 7 to prevent them from being misaligned during the extension and retraction process. Two baffles 8 are fixedly connected on the outer wall of the pull rod 6 on the opposite side of the two compression springs 7. Two linkage gears 9 rotate symmetrically on one side of the bracket 1, and the teeth 5 mesh with the two linkage gears 9.
[0021] A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage gear 9. There are two connecting rods 10, which are inclined and face opposite directions. The ends of the connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to clamping plates 11. There are two clamping plates 11, which face opposite directions. Four rotating rods 12 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the bracket 1 near its ends. The four rotating rods 12 are divided into two groups. The ends of the two groups of rotating rods 12 are rotatably connected to the two clamping plates 11 respectively. Because of the rotating rods 12, the linkage gear 9 rotates and drives the connecting rods 10 to rotate. During the synchronous rotation of the two connecting rods 10, the two clamping plates 11 are driven to rotate at one end. During the rotation of the clamping plates 11, the rotating rods 12 provide support for the clamping plates 11, so that the clamping plates 11 can rotate and clamp stably, ensuring the firmness of the ceramic blank when it is clamped.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When operating the clamping tool, hold the handle 14 and pull the pull ring 15 with your fingers. The pull ring 15 drives the pull rod 6 to slide inside the bracket 1. During the sliding process, the pull rod 6 drives the end baffle 8 to squeeze one of the compression springs 7, and at the same time, it drives the bottom of the slider 4 to slide in the groove 3 of the support block 2. During the sliding process, the two linkage gears 9 on one side of the bracket 1 rotate synchronously towards each other under the action of the teeth 5 on both sides of the slider 4. The two linkage gears 9 drive the two connecting rods 10 to rotate. The connecting rods 10 drive the clamping plate 11 to rotate around the end of the rotating rod 12 as the center. At the same time, the other end of the two sets of rotating rods 12 rotates on one side of the bracket 1, so that the two clamping plates 11 move closer to each other, thereby realizing the clamping of the ceramic blank and using the clamping tool.
