Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic production equipment technology, specifically a ceramic softening device for ceramic production. Background Technology
[0002] Porcelain is a type of vessel made from porcelain clay. Ceramics is a general term for pottery, stoneware, and porcelain. Any object made from clay of different properties, such as earthenware and porcelain clay, through processes such as mixing, shaping, drying, and firing can be called ceramics. Among the many steps in the production process of ceramics, one is shaping. During the shaping process, the ceramic material needs to be softened at all times. Existing ceramic softening devices can basically meet the needs of daily use, but there are still some shortcomings that need to be improved.
[0003] Most of the softening devices widely used on the market use simple nozzles to spray water onto the ceramic surface, allowing the ceramic surface to soften locally. However, in actual use, the spray position on the ceramic needs to be manually adjusted, which can easily lead to uneven spraying on the ceramic surface. This requires a lot of time to adjust and results in low softening efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a ceramic softening device for ceramic production, thus solving the aforementioned technical problems.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceramic softening device for ceramic production, comprising a device body, a rotating disk rotatably mounted on the device body, a transmission cavity formed inside the rotating disk, a driving gear disk protruding downward from the top of the transmission cavity, four driven gears rotatably mounted inside the transmission cavity, all four driven gears meshing with the driving gear disk, a fixed gear ring protruding upward from the top of the device body, all four driven gears meshing with the fixed gear ring, four placement disks provided on the top of the rotating disk, the four placement disks respectively connected to the four driven gears, a support frame protruding from the device body, two nozzles mounted on the support frame, and a servo motor provided at the bottom of the device body, the actuation output shaft of the servo motor mounted on the driving gear disk.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the main body of the device is provided with four support columns arranged in a matrix, and a support plate is fixedly connected between the four support columns.
[0009] Preferably, a water tank is placed on the pallet, a water pump is installed in the water tank, and a water delivery pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump. The water delivery pipe passes through the main body of the device and the support frame and is connected to the two nozzles.
[0010] Preferably, each of the four driven gears has a mating groove on its top, and the bottom of the placement plate has a mating block that matches the mating groove.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the water tank is provided with transparent graduated grooves.
[0012] Preferably, the water tank has a water inlet that is connected to the inside of the water tank.
[0013] Preferably, a control box is connected to the support column, and the servo motor and water pump are both electrically connected to the control box.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a ceramic softening device for ceramic production, which has the following beneficial effects: This utility model, through the cooperation of a rotating disk, a drive gear disk, and driven gears, allows ceramics to be placed sequentially into four placement trays during operation. A servo motor drives the drive gear disk and the rotating disk on it to rotate, causing the four driven gears to rotate around the drive gear disk while simultaneously rotating on their own axes under the constraint of a fixed gear ring. This causes the four placement trays on the rotating disk to rotate along with the disk, and the ceramics on the four placement trays can be evenly sprayed and softened through two nozzles on the support frame. Furthermore, replacing softened ceramics does not affect the softening of ceramics in other placement trays, further improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A ceramic softening device for ceramic production includes a main body 1, a rotating disk 9 rotatably mounted on the main body 1, a transmission cavity 18 inside the rotating disk 9, a driving gear disk 15 protruding downward from the top of the transmission cavity 18, four driven gears 16 rotatably mounted inside the transmission cavity 18, all four driven gears 16 meshing with the driving gear disk 15, a fixed gear ring 17 protruding upward from the top of the main body 1, all four driven gears 16 meshing with the fixed gear ring 17, four placement disks 10 arranged on the top of the rotating disk 9, the four placement disks 10 respectively connected to the four driven gears 16, a support frame 7 protruding from the main body 1, two nozzles 8 mounted on the support frame 7, and a servo motor arranged at the bottom of the main body 1, the actuation output shaft of the servo motor mounted on the driving gear disk 15.
[0024] Through the coordinated arrangement of the rotating disk 9, the active gear disk 15, and the driven gears 16, ceramics can be placed sequentially into four placement trays 10 during operation. The servo motor drives the active gear disk 15 and the rotating disk 9 on it to rotate. This causes the four driven gears 16 to rotate around the active gear disk 15 while simultaneously rotating on their own axes, which in turn causes the four placement trays 10 on the rotating disk 9 to rotate along with it. This allows the ceramics on the four placement trays 10 to be evenly sprayed and softened by the two nozzles 8 on the support frame 7. Furthermore, replacing softened ceramics does not affect the softening of ceramics in the other placement trays 10, further improving work efficiency.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom of the main body 1 of the device is provided with four support columns 2 arranged in a matrix. The four support columns 2 are fixedly connected to a support plate 3. A water tank 4 is placed on the support plate 3. A water pump 14 is installed in the water tank 4. The water outlet of the water pump 14 is connected to a water supply pipe 13. The water supply pipe 13 passes through the main body 1 of the device and the support frame 7 and is connected to two nozzles 8. The model of the water pump 14 is common knowledge. Those skilled in the art can use it with the corresponding model and specifications. It will not be described in detail here.
[0026] The water tank 4 and water pump 14 facilitate water supply to the nozzle 8.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top of each of the four driven gears 16 is provided with a docking groove 12, and the bottom of the placement plate 10 is provided with a docking block 11 that is adapted to the docking groove 12.
[0028] By using the docking groove 12 and the docking block 11 to work together, it is easy to dock the placement plate 10 with the driven gear 16 and to replace the placement plate 10, thereby enabling the quick replacement of the softened ceramic with the ceramic to be softened.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a transparent graduated groove 6 is provided on the surface of the water tank 4, which makes it easy to observe the amount of water stored inside the water tank 4.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water tank 4 is provided with a water inlet 19, which is connected to the inside of the water tank 4, so that water can be easily added into the water tank 4.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, a control box 5 is connected to the support column 2, and the servo motor and water pump 14 are both electrically connected to the control box 5.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
