Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic surface curing technology, specifically to a rapid curing device for a microstructure anti-slip and wear-resistant layer on a ceramic surface. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of ceramic surface functionalization, the curing technology of anti-slip and wear-resistant layers has always been key to improving product performance and production efficiency. Traditional curing methods for anti-slip and wear-resistant layers on ceramic surfaces mainly include thermosetting and room temperature curing. Thermosetting requires heating the ceramic workpiece to 60℃-200℃ using an oven or heating equipment, relying on heat energy to promote resin cross-linking. However, it suffers from problems such as long curing cycles (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours), high energy consumption, and the ceramic substrate being prone to cracking due to thermal stress. Room temperature curing, although it does not require heating, takes as long as 2-24 hours, which cannot meet the efficiency requirements of industrial mass production.

[0003] With the development of UV (ultraviolet) curing technology, UV LED light sources are increasingly being used for curing ceramic surface coatings due to their advantages such as fast curing speed (second-level curing), low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness (no mercury). However, when treating thick coatings (e.g., exceeding 50μm) or anti-slip and wear-resistant layers containing inorganic fillers (e.g., Al2O3, SiO2), single UV curing technology suffers from insufficient light penetration, which can easily lead to incomplete curing of the coating's bottom layer and affect the overall wear resistance. Furthermore, for irregularly shaped ceramic workpieces or complex microstructure coatings, traditional UV curing equipment is prone to uneven irradiation due to the single method of workpiece fixation, resulting in inconsistent curing quality.

[0004] Traditional UV curing equipment often uses a linear conveyor method for workpieces, allowing only one side of the workpiece to receive UV irradiation. For anti-slip and wear-resistant layers with three-dimensional microstructures (such as biomimetic protrusions and groove arrays), curing blind spots can easily appear on the back or sides. Increasing the number of light sources to achieve multi-angle irradiation would lead to complex equipment structures, increased costs, and would still make it difficult to avoid uneven local light intensity.

[0005] When the thickness of the anti-slip and wear-resistant layer exceeds 100μm or a high proportion of inorganic fillers are added, single UV curing results in insufficient activation of the deep resin due to light absorption loss, and the degree of curing is usually less than 80%, requiring secondary curing or extended irradiation time, which reduces efficiency. On the other hand, relying solely on microwave heating for curing can achieve uniform internal heating, but the surface curing speed is slow, which can easily lead to sticky coating surface and structural collapse.

[0006] Existing composite curing equipment (such as UV + thermal curing) mostly uses static placement of workpieces or simple conveyor belt to move workpieces, which cannot achieve multi-angle flipping and rotation of workpieces. This results in local overheating during microwave heating due to the irregular shape of the workpiece (such as excessively high temperature at the corners), and insufficient curing of the microstructure shadow area during UV irradiation, which seriously affects the consistency of coating performance.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid curing device for a microstructured anti-slip and wear-resistant layer on a ceramic surface, comprising a housing and a fixed toothed ring disposed on the lower part of the inner wall of the housing, and further comprising...

[0009] The transmission mechanism includes a movable support inner ring disposed inside the housing. The bottom of the movable support inner ring is uniformly equipped with movable rollers, and the inner wall of the movable support inner ring is provided with an internal toothed ring. The top of the movable support inner ring is equipped with gears through uniformly arranged movable shafts, and the top of each gear is provided with a tray with a groove.

[0010] The bottom of the housing is provided with a transmission cavity. Inside the transmission cavity, pulleys are evenly installed through a rotating shaft and connected to each other by a transmission belt. One end of each rotating shaft extends into the housing and is equipped with a drive gear.

[0011] The inner sidewall of the enclosure is uniformly provided with microwave emitting devices and UV LED light sources, and the microwave emitting devices and UV LED light sources are arranged alternately.

[0012] Furthermore, the height of the gears is at the same horizontal plane as the height of the fixed gear ring, and each gear individually meshes with the fixed gear ring.

[0013] Furthermore, a packaging base plate is installed at the bottom of the housing outside the transmission cavity, and a servo motor is installed at the bottom of the packaging base plate, with the output end of the servo motor fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the drive gear is at the same horizontal plane as the height of the internal gear ring, and each drive gear meshes with the internal gear ring individually.

[0015] Furthermore, an annular guide groove is provided at the bottom of the housing, and the bottom of each of the moving rollers is embedded in the inner side of the annular guide groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the box is evenly provided with inlets, and a door is hinged to one side of the box for each inlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the side wall of the enclosure is provided with an observation window, and a controller is installed on the enclosure below the observation window. A support frame is also provided at the bottom of the enclosure.

[0018] This invention provides a rapid curing device for a microstructured anti-slip and wear-resistant layer on a ceramic surface, which has the following significant advantages compared to existing technologies:

[0019] 1. This equipment uses a UV LED light source for curing, utilizing ultraviolet light to excite a photosensitizer and initiate a polymerization reaction, belonging to "photochemical curing." This technology features a fast reaction rate, significantly shortening the curing time, making it particularly suitable for rapid surface curing. Compared to traditional thermal curing methods, UV LED curing can complete the curing process in a short time, significantly improving production efficiency. The equipment also incorporates microwave heating technology, using microwaves to cause the internal molecules of the material to vibrate and generate heat, belonging to "internal heating." Microwave heating has the advantages of uniform heating and strong penetration, which can accelerate the cross-linking reaction of deep materials, ensuring that the anti-slip and wear-resistant microstructure layer on the ceramic surface cures simultaneously inside and out, further improving curing efficiency.

[0020] 2. Through the meshing of the internal gear ring and the drive gear, the movable support inner ring drives the tray to rotate inside the chamber. Simultaneously, the tray rotates under the action of the gear and the fixed gear ring. This dual rotation mechanism ensures that all surfaces of the ceramic workpiece receive uniform ultraviolet irradiation and microwave heating during transport, avoiding curing quality problems caused by uneven heating in traditional curing equipment. The alternating microwave emitters and UV LED light sources on the inner wall of the chamber ensure that the ceramic workpiece receives both ultraviolet irradiation and microwave heating during transport, further improving the uniformity of the curing effect.

[0030] The transmission mechanism 3 includes a movable support inner ring 301 disposed inside the housing 1. Movable rollers 302 are evenly installed on the bottom of the movable support inner ring 301. An annular guide groove 106 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0033] The fixed gear ring 101 is located on the lower part of the inner wall of the housing 1 and is used to mesh with the gear 305 in the transmission mechanism 3 to realize the transmission function.

[0034] The transmission mechanism 3 is the core component of this equipment, mainly including the movable support inner ring 301, the movable roller 302, the internal gear ring 303, the movable shaft 304, the gear 305, and the tray 306.

The inner wall of the movable support inner ring 301 is provided with an internal toothed ring 303 for meshing with a gear 305.

[0036] Movable rollers 302: The bottom of each movable roller 302 is embedded inside the annular guide groove 106 at the bottom of the housing 1. The function of the annular guide groove 106 is to guide the movable rollers 302 to roll along a preset path, ensuring the stable movement of the movable support inner ring 301.

[0037] Internal gear ring 303: The internal gear ring 303 is fixed on the inner wall of the movable support inner ring 301 and meshes with the gear 305 to transmit power.

[0038] Movable shaft 304 and gears 305: Multiple gears 305 are mounted on the top of the movable support inner ring 301 via evenly spaced movable shafts 304. Each gear 305 has a tray 306 with a groove 307 on its top. The height of the gear 305 is at the same level as the height of the fixed gear ring 101 to ensure smooth meshing.

[0039] Tray 306: Tray 306 is connected to gear 305 via groove 307 and is used to support the anti-slip and wear-resistant layer material of ceramic surface microstructure to be cured.

[0040] The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a transmission cavity 104. Inside the transmission cavity 104, pulleys 501 are evenly installed through a rotating shaft 502 and connected to each other by a transmission belt 503. One end of each rotating shaft 502 extends into the housing 1 and is equipped with a drive gear 504.

[0041] A packaging base plate 105 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1 outside the transmission cavity 104. A servo motor 5 is installed at the bottom of the packaging base plate 105, and the output end of the servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 502.

[0042] The height of the drive gear 504 is at the same horizontal plane as the height of the internal gear ring 303, and each drive gear 504 meshes with the internal gear ring 303 individually.

[0043] A transmission chamber 104 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The transmission chamber 104 is an independent enclosed space, in which multiple pulleys 501 are evenly installed via a rotating shaft 502. Each pulley 501 is fixed to the inner wall of the transmission chamber 104 via the rotating shaft 502, and adjacent pulleys 501 are connected by a transmission belt 503 to form a complete transmission system.

[0044] Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 502 extends into the interior of the housing 1, and a drive gear 504 is mounted at that end. The mounting position and height of the drive gear 504 are precisely designed to ensure that it is at the same level as the internal gear ring 303 to facilitate subsequent meshing operations.

[0045] An encapsulation base plate 105 is installed on the bottom of the housing 1 outside the transmission cavity 104. The encapsulation base plate 105 is made of the same material as the housing 1 and is used to protect the transmission cavity 104 and its internal components, while providing a stable mounting base.

[0046] A servo motor 5 is mounted on the bottom of the base plate 105. The output end of the servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 502 via a fixed connection device. The selection of the servo motor 5 should ensure that its output torque and speed can meet the requirements of the transmission system.

[0047] The height of the drive gear 504 is at the same horizontal plane as the height of the internal gear ring 303. The internal gear ring 303 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, and its number of teeth and module match those of the drive gear 504. Each drive gear 504 meshes with the internal gear ring 303 individually to ensure the stable operation of the transmission system.

[0048] During the meshing process, the servo motor 5 drives the shaft 502 connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the pulley 501 and the transmission belt 503 to move. Through the transmission belt 503, the other pulleys 501 and their corresponding shafts 502 also rotate, ultimately achieving synchronous meshing of all drive gears 504 with the internal gear ring 303.

[0049] The inner sidewall of the housing 1 is uniformly provided with microwave emitting devices 2 and UV LED light sources 4, and the microwave emitting devices 2 and UV LED light sources 4 are arranged alternately.

[0050] Specifically, the microwave emitting device 2 and the UV LED light source 4 are arranged alternately, that is, on the inner side wall of the housing 1, a microwave emitting device 2 and a UV LED light source 4 are arranged in sequence at certain intervals.

[0051] The microwave transmitter 2 is mainly used to emit microwaves to heat the items inside the box.

[0052] The UV LED light source 4 is mainly used to emit ultraviolet light to achieve curing treatment of items inside the box.

[0053] The top of the box 1 is evenly provided with feed inlets 103, and a door 102 is hinged to one side of the box 1 for each feed inlet 103. The side wall of the box 1 is also provided with an observation window 107, and a controller 6 is installed on the box 1 below the observation window 107. The bottom of the box 1 is also provided with a support base.

[0054] The top of the box 1 is evenly provided with several feed inlets 103, each feed inlet 103 having a diameter of 10 cm and a spacing of 20 cm, to ensure that the material can enter the box evenly.

[0055] Each feed inlet 103 has a door 102 hinged to one side of the housing 1. The door 102 is made of lightweight alloy material, its size matches the feed inlet 103, and it is connected to the housing 1 via a hinge structure. The door 102 has an opening and closing angle of 90 degrees, which allows operators to quickly open and close it, thereby controlling the entry of materials.

[0056] The side wall of the enclosure 1 is also equipped with an observation window 107, which is made of a high-strength transparent material, such as tempered glass, to ensure clear visibility even under high temperature or high pressure environments. The observation window 107 is located in the upper middle part of the enclosure 1, making it convenient for operators to observe the internal conditions of the enclosure at any time.

[0057] A controller 6 is installed on the enclosure 1 below the observation window 107. The controller 6 is an intelligent control system, including a touch screen display interface and multiple control buttons, which can realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the enclosure.

[0058] When this application embodiment is used,

[0059] Open the door 102 corresponding to the top feed port 103 of the box 1, and place the ceramic workpiece coated with the anti-slip and wear-resistant layer into the groove 307 of the tray 306. The groove 307 can fix the workpiece to prevent displacement. Close the door 102 to ensure a seal and prevent microwave leakage or ultraviolet leakage.

[0060] The controller 6 controls the UV LED light source 4 and microwave emitting device 2 to start. At the same time, the servo motor 5 starts to run, driving the pulley 501 and transmission belt 503 in the transmission cavity 104 to rotate through the rotating shaft 502, thereby driving the drive gear 504 to rotate.

[0061] The drive gear 504 meshes with the internal gear ring 303 on the inner wall of the movable support inner ring 301, driving the movable support inner ring 301 to make a circular motion (revolution) along the annular guide groove 106; at the same time, the gear 305 meshes with the fixed gear ring 101 on the inner wall of the housing 1, and rotates under the drive of the movable support inner ring 301, realizing the "revolution + rotation" compound motion of the workpiece on the tray 306, ensuring that all surfaces of the workpiece are evenly exposed to the microwave emitting device 2 and the UV LED light source 4.

[0062] Microwave emitting device 2 and UV LED light source 4 are alternately arranged on the inner wall of the housing 1. Each time the workpiece rotates, it will be alternately heated by microwave and irradiated by ultraviolet light.

[0063] Microwave heating: Microwaves cause the polar molecules inside the coating to vibrate and generate heat. UV curing: UV LED light source 4 emits ultraviolet light, which excites the photosensitizer to initiate the rapid polymerization of the surface resin.

[0064] When the controller 6 displays that the curing time has reached the preset value, the equipment automatically stops the operation of the microwave emitting device 2 and the UV LED light source 4, and the servo motor 5 decelerates to a stop.

[0065] Open the door 102 of the feed port 103, carefully remove the ceramic workpiece from the tray 306, and observe whether the coating surface is completely cured.
