Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic drying, specifically to a ceramic plate drying and cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic slabs contain a large amount of moisture during the forming process (such as slip casting, extrusion molding, etc.). Drying is to remove this moisture to prevent cracking or deformation caused by rapid evaporation of moisture during subsequent high-temperature sintering. If the ceramic slab is not fully dried before sintering, the residual moisture will evaporate rapidly at high temperature, producing pores or cracks, which will affect the quality of the finished product.

[0003] In the existing technology, ceramic plate drying equipment has problems such as small contact area between ceramic plate and heat source, uneven heat distribution, incomplete drying effect and low drying efficiency during the drying process. This makes it easy for ceramic plates to be overheated in some areas or under-dried, which in turn affects product quality and production efficiency. It is difficult to achieve uniform heating of the ceramic plate as a whole, and the heat energy utilization rate is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies by proposing a ceramic plate drying and cooling device, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a ceramic plate drying and cooling device, including a ceramic plate 1, a frame 2, and a chain conveyor 3 mounted on the frame 2, and further including:

[0025] Drying chamber 4 is mounted on frame 2, and heating sources are provided on the opposite inner side walls of drying chamber 4.

[0026] A movable support is set on the chain conveyor 3. The chain conveyor 3 drives the movable support to move towards the drying chamber 4. The movable support is used to drive the ceramic plate 1 to move along the length direction of the chain conveyor 3.

[0027] A clamping assembly is mounted on a movable support and is used to clamp the ceramic plate 1.

[0028] The driving component is located on the inner wall of the drying chamber 4. The driving component is used to drive the moving bracket to rotate the ceramic plate 1 back and forth.

[0029] The ceramic plate 1 is fed into the drying chamber 4 via the chain conveyor 3 on the frame 2. The drying chamber 4 is equipped with heating sources on both sides inside, which can heat the ceramic plate 1 evenly. The movable bracket is installed on the chain conveyor 3, which drives the ceramic plate 1 to move along the direction of the conveyor. At the same time, the clamping component is fixed on the movable bracket to ensure that the ceramic plate 1 will not slip or fall during the movement. In addition, the drying chamber 4 is also equipped with a driving component, which can push the movable bracket to drive the ceramic plate 1 to reciprocate and rotate, so that the ceramic plate 1 is heated evenly, increasing the contact area between the surface of the ceramic plate 1 and the heating source, and avoiding the problem of uneven drying.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in conjunction with the technical solution of Embodiment 1, in this technical solution, the movable support includes a support column 5, which is fixedly installed with the chain conveyor 3. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support column 5, passing through the support column 5. A gear 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 6 near the drying chamber 4. When the chain conveyor 3 is running, the support column 5 will drive the rotating shaft 6 and the gear 7 to move together. The gear 7, by meshing with the rack 11 on the inner wall of the drying chamber 4, enables the rotating shaft 6 to rotate while moving, thereby driving the ceramic plate 1 clamped on the movable support to achieve reciprocating rotational motion. This ensures that the ceramic plate 1 is heated evenly during the drying process, increases the contact area between the ceramic plate 1 and the heating source, avoids uneven drying, and ultimately improves drying efficiency and product quality.

[0032] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a connecting frame 8, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 6. A ceramic plate limiting frame 9 is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 8. The ceramic plate limiting frame 9 is a rectangular frame with three closed ends and one open end. A groove 10 for inserting the ceramic plate 1 is formed on the surface of the ceramic plate limiting frame 9. When the rotating shaft 6 rotates, the connecting frame 8 will drive the ceramic plate 1 limiting frame to move together, and the ceramic plate 1 will be firmly clamped by inserting into the groove 10, ensuring that it will not slip or fall off during movement and rotation.

[0033] Furthermore, the driving component includes several racks, which are divided into two groups: an upper rack and a lower rack. The protruding teeth of the upper and lower racks face each other and are arranged in an interval array along the inner wall of the drying chamber. All racks mesh with gears. When the moving bracket drives the gear 7 to move along the chain conveyor 3, the gear 7 will mesh with the upper and lower spaced racks 11 in sequence and rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 6 and the clamping component to rotate together. This design ensures that the opening end of the ceramic plate 1 limiting frame will never rotate to the downward direction during rotation, further preventing the ceramic plate 1 from accidentally slipping off, and enabling the ceramic plate 1 to achieve reciprocating rotational motion while moving.

[0034] Furthermore, the heating source on the inner wall of the drying chamber 4 is a heating tube 12, which is arranged along the length of the drying chamber 4. Several heating tubes 12 are arranged in an array along the vertical direction of the inner wall of the drying chamber 4. When the drying chamber 4 is working, the heating tubes 12 will generate heat evenly, and the heat will be transferred to the surface of the ceramic plate 1 from multiple directions, ensuring that the ceramic plate 1 can be heated evenly during movement and rotation, avoiding local overheating or insufficient drying, thereby improving drying efficiency and product quality. Preferably, the heating source in the drying chamber 4 includes a fan. When it is necessary to cool the ceramic plate 1, the heating source is turned off and the fan is turned on to cool the ceramic plate.

[0035] Furthermore, heat insulation cloth 13 is installed at both ends of the drying chamber 4. The heat insulation cloth can effectively reduce the heat loss from the chamber to the outside and maintain the temperature inside the chamber. When the heating tube 12 is working, the heat insulation cloth 13 can prevent heat loss from both ends and ensure that the heat is concentrated inside the chamber, thereby improving the heat utilization rate.

[0036] Furthermore, an elastic strip 14 is provided inside the groove 10. When the ceramic plate 1 is inserted into the groove 10, the elastic strip 14 can fit tightly against the surface of the ceramic plate 1, providing a certain clamping force and buffering effect, ensuring that the ceramic plate 1 will not loosen or slide during movement and rotation. This design not only keeps the ceramic plate 1 stable during the drying process, but also avoids damage caused by vibration or friction, thereby improving drying efficiency and product quality.

[0037] The working principle of the ceramic plate drying and cooling device disclosed in this application is as follows:

[0038] The ceramic plate 1 is fed into the drying chamber 4 via the chain conveyor 3 on the frame 2. Heating tubes 12 are installed on both sides inside the drying chamber 4 to uniformly heat the ceramic plate 1. The movable bracket is fixed on the chain conveyor 3. The ceramic plate 1 is moved along the conveyor direction by the support column 5 and the rotating shaft 6. At the same time, the ceramic plate 1 limiting frame in the clamping assembly firmly clamps the ceramic plate 1 through the groove 10 and the elastic strip 14 to ensure that it will not slip or fall during the movement. The rack 11 in the drive assembly meshes with the gear 7, which drives the rotating shaft 6 to drive the ceramic plate 1 to rotate back and forth, so that the ceramic plate 1 is heated evenly and the contact area between the ceramic plate 1 and the radiant heat of the heating tube 12 is increased, avoiding uneven drying. The drying chamber 4 is also equipped with heat insulation cloth 13 at both ends to reduce heat loss and improve energy utilization. In the entire process, the ceramic plate 1 is fully automated from entering the drying chamber 4 to completing the drying and cooling process. This not only improves the drying efficiency but also ensures that the ceramic plate 1 is heated evenly, ultimately achieving a high-efficiency and high-quality drying and cooling effect.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this utility model, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
