Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic clay processing technology, specifically a rapid grinding device for ceramic clay processing. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic clay is the basic raw material for making ceramic products. It is usually made by processing and mixing natural minerals such as clay, quartz, and feldspar, as well as additives such as plasticizers, water-reducing agents, and preservatives. Clay minerals impart plasticity to the clay, quartz acts as a binder to reduce viscosity and enhance mechanical strength, and feldspar acts as a flux to lower firing temperature and improve the gloss and transparency of the finished product. The addition of additives further optimizes the clay's properties; for example, plasticizers enhance plasticity, water-reducing agents improve fluidity, and preservatives extend shelf life. Ceramic clay must possess good plasticity, a reasonable drying and firing shrinkage rate, and suitable sintering properties to ensure the smooth forming and firing process of ceramic products.
[0003] In the ceramics manufacturing industry, kaolin-based raw materials (such as 931 kaolin and primary kaolin) and high-quality clay-based raw materials (such as bottom-groove blue clay and clear clay) have become core raw materials for high-quality ceramic production due to their high plasticity and excellent sintering performance. These clays have few impurities, but due to their inherent characteristics, they often require wet grinding. Traditional grinding equipment is not only complex to operate, but also requires frequent parameter adjustments and equipment monitoring, consuming significant manpower and time. To address these issues, we propose a rapid grinding device for ceramic clay processing. Utility Model Content

Operators only need to complete basic operations such as starting the equipment, adding raw materials, and collecting finished products, significantly reducing the professional skill requirements for operators, greatly alleviating their workload, and improving the convenience and stability of the production process.

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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 A rapid grinding device for ceramic clay processing includes a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2 fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame 1, the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 being arranged at different heights, a clay pretreatment device being provided on the top of the first support frame 1, and a discharge inclined plate 5 being provided on the first support frame 1 below the clay pretreatment device, a rotating seat 6 being fixedly connected to both ends of the upper side of the second support frame 2, a grinding cylinder 7 being rotatably connected between the two rotating seats 6, a plurality of iron balls being placed in the inner cavity of the grinding cylinder 7, a feed inlet 15 and a discharge outlet 16 being provided on the upper and lower sides of the grinding cylinder 7 respectively, a grinding drive motor 8 being fixedly connected to the side of the second support frame 2 away from the first support frame 1, a transmission gear 9 being fixedly connected to the side of the grinding cylinder 7 away from the first support frame 1, and a small gear matching the transmission gear 9 being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the grinding drive motor 8 and meshing with the transmission gear 9.
[0024] Furthermore, the mud pretreatment device includes a crushing drive motor 3, a mud pretreatment box 4, crushing rollers 10, and belt drive wheels 14. The mud pretreatment box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first support frame 1. The crushing drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the upper side of the first support frame 1 away from the second support frame 2. Two crushing rollers 10 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the mud pretreatment box 4. One end of each crushing roller 10 extends to the outer side of the mud pretreatment box 4 and is fixedly connected to a belt drive wheel 14. The two belt drive wheels 14 are connected by a belt tension. The other end of the crushing roller 10 near the crushing drive motor 3 and the rotating shaft of the crushing drive motor 3 are fixedly connected to a second set of two belt drive wheels 14. The second set of two belt drive wheels 14 are connected by a belt tension and are in the shape of an inverted truncated pyramid with a tapered lower end, providing working space for the crushing rollers 10. This guides the crushed mud to fall smoothly through the lower opening to the discharge inclined plate 5 due to its own weight and vibration, preventing mud accumulation.
[0025] Furthermore, the lower end of the mud pretreatment box 4 is a tapered inverted frustum shape, and the side of the crushing and rolling roller 10 is fixed with multiple semi-circular protrusions that are distributed in an annular pattern at equal intervals.
[0026] Furthermore, mounting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper side of the first support frame 1. Vibration springs 12 are hinged to the lower ends of the mounting plates 11. The two vibration springs 12 on the side closer to the crushing drive motor 3 and the two vibration springs 12 on the side farther away from the crushing drive motor 3 have different hinge methods. The hinge directions of the two sets of vibration springs 12 are set perpendicularly. The mounting plates 11 are fixed to the four corners of the upper side of the first support frame 1 as connecting parts, hinge the vibration springs 12 to the first support frame 1, so that the vibration springs 12 can drive the mud pretreatment box 4 to vibrate, ensuring the stable connection of the vibration structure of the mud pretreatment box 4.
[0027] Furthermore, U-shaped connecting buckles are fixedly connected to both ends of the discharge inclined plate 5, and the bottom of the four vibration springs 12 are all provided with matching buckles that are movably engaged with the U-shaped connecting ports. The U-shaped connecting buckles at both ends of the discharge inclined plate 5 are movably engaged with the buckles at the bottom of the vibration springs 12, thereby connecting the discharge inclined plate 5 with the vibration structure, so that the discharge inclined plate 5 can vibrate with the vibration of the vibration springs 12, which helps the mud to slide smoothly on the discharge inclined plate 5.
[0028] Furthermore, the discharge ramp 5 is inclined, and a guide plate 13 is hinged to one end of the discharge ramp 5 near the second support frame 2. The guide plate 13 can be flipped upward.
[0029] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the side of the grinding cylinder 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the inlet 15 and the outlet 16. Two symmetrically arranged fixed rotating seats 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper and lower ends of the side of the grinding cylinder 7, corresponding to the inlet 15 and the outlet 16. Each fixed rotating seat 17 is rotatably connected to a locking element 18. The locking element 18 is T-shaped, with a threaded groove on its vertical portion and a fastening nut threaded onto it. The fixed rotating seats 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inlet 15 and the outlet 16 of the grinding cylinder 7 for rotatably connecting the T-shaped locking element 18. By rotating the fastening nut on the locking element 18, the locking cap 19 can be securely fixed at the inlet 15 and the outlet 16, achieving sealing and opening control of the inlet and outlet.
[0030] Furthermore, locking covers 19 are movably inserted into both the feed inlet 15 and the discharge outlet 16. A fastening cover plate 20 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking cover 19. U-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the fastening cover plate 20. A lifting handle 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the locking cover 19 inserted into the feed inlet 15. A mud outlet 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking cover 19 inserted into the discharge outlet 16. A valve 23 is provided on the side of the mud outlet 22. The fastening cover plate 20 is fixed to the upper end of the locking cover 19. The U-shaped grooves on both sides facilitate the installation and removal of the locking cover 19, and at the same time enhance the stability of the connection between the locking cover 19 and the feed inlet 15 and the discharge outlet 16. The lifting handle 21 is fixed to the top of the locking cover 19 of the feed inlet 15, which makes it convenient for the staff to open and close the locking cover 19 of the feed inlet 15 and to add mud.
[0031] Working principle: The workflow of this rapid grinding device for ceramic clay processing starts with clay pretreatment, followed by crushing and conveying, ultimately achieving efficient grinding. The various devices work together to achieve rapid clay processing. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0032] When processing kaolin or high-quality clay ceramic clay, the crushing drive motor 3 is started first. The crushing drive motor 3 drives the two crushing rollers 10 inside the clay pretreatment box 4 via a belt drive pulley 14. The semi-circular protrusions on the two crushing rollers 10 cooperate to initially crush the clay material fed into the clay pretreatment box 4 from the inlet. Because the two crushing rollers 10 rotate synchronously via belt drive, and the semi-circular protrusions are evenly distributed in a ring, they can perform multi-directional compression and crushing of the clay material, breaking the lumpy clay into smaller particles, reducing the burden on subsequent grinding and improving overall grinding efficiency.
[0033] While the crushing drive motor 3 is operating, the vibration springs 12 on the first support frame 1 function. The mounting plates 11 fixed at the four corners of the upper side of the first support frame 1 are hinged to the vibration springs 12, with the hinge directions of the two sets of vibration springs 12 closest to the crushing drive motor 3 and furthest from it being perpendicular. This special hinge method allows the vibration springs 12 to drive the entire mud pretreatment box 4 to vibrate in multiple directions when the crushing roller 10 rotates and generates vibration. This vibration allows the crushed mud to pass more smoothly through the lower end of the mud pretreatment box 4, which is shaped like a converging inverted frustum, and fall onto the discharge inclined plate 5. Simultaneously, the vibration also prevents mud from accumulating and clogging inside the pretreatment box, ensuring the continuity of the pretreatment process.
[0034] The discharge ramp 5 is inclined, and the crushed mud slides along the discharge ramp 5 towards the second support frame 2 under the combined action of gravity and vibration. When the mud slides to one end of the discharge ramp 5 near the second support frame 2, the upward-flipping guide plate 13 can adjust its angle according to actual needs to accurately guide the mud into the feed inlet 15 of the grinding cylinder 7.
[0035] After the clay enters the grinding cylinder 7, the grinding drive motor 8 starts working. A small gear fixed to the rotating shaft of the grinding drive motor 8 meshes with a transmission gear 9 on the side of the grinding cylinder 7, thereby driving the grinding cylinder 7 to rotate. Multiple iron balls placed inside the grinding cylinder 7 continuously collide and rub against the clay during the rotation of the grinding cylinder 7 due to centrifugal force and gravity. As the grinding cylinder 7 continues to rotate, the iron balls perform all-around, high-intensity grinding of the clay, continuously refining the clay particles until the required fineness is achieved.
[0036] During the grinding process, the feed inlet 15 and discharge outlet 16 at the upper and lower ends of the grinding cylinder 7 are cleverly designed. Both the feed inlet 15 and discharge outlet 16 are equipped with locking elements 18, locking caps 19, and fastening plates 20. The locking element 18 is T-shaped; by rotating the fastening nut, the locking cap 19 can be firmly fixed to the feed inlet 15 and discharge outlet 16. During feeding, the locking cap 19 at the feed inlet 15 is opened, the mud is poured in, and then closed and locked. After the mud is ground, the locking cap 19 at the discharge outlet 16 is opened, and the mud is discharged through the discharge outlet 16. The upper end of the locking cap 19 inserted in the discharge outlet 16 is fixedly connected to the mud outlet 22, and a valve 23 on its side can control the discharge speed of the mud, facilitating collection and subsequent processing.
[0037] 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.
