Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic clay refining equipment, and in particular to a ceramic clay refining machine. Background Technology
[0002] Clay mixing is an essential processing technique in ceramic production. It is used to mix the clay evenly and remove air from the clay, making the ceramic fine and dense. It is usually done with the help of specialized equipment, a clay mixing machine.
[0003] In practice, most existing clay mixing machines use a single mixing head to mix the clay, which is inefficient at removing internal moisture and fails to address any air trapped inside, affecting the overall quality of the final ceramic product and causing numerous losses.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a clay mixing machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a clay mixing machine for porcelain.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a porcelain clay mixing machine, including a fixed base plate.
[0007] A positioning frame is installed on the top of the fixed base plate, two fixed baffles are installed on the top of the positioning frame, a processing cylinder is installed between the two fixed baffles, a conveying channel is installed on the top of the processing cylinder, a feeding hopper is installed on the top of the conveying channel, and a threaded stirring rod is rotatably connected inside the processing cylinder.
[0008] A vacuum pump mounting base is installed on the top of the fixed base plate. The vacuum pump mounting base is located on one side of the positioning frame. A vacuum inlet chamber is installed on the top of the vacuum pump mounting base. A vacuum extraction pipe is installed between the vacuum inlet chamber and the material discharge chamber.
[0009] A pressurization chamber is installed at the top of the processing cylinder and on the side away from the discharge hopper. Two conveying main pipes are installed inside the pressurization chamber, and an air outlet pipe extending into the processing cylinder is installed at the bottom end of each conveying main pipe.
[0010] A heating chamber is installed on one side of the pressurization chamber. The heating chamber is equipped with a fan and heating wire. The fan and heating wire operate to generate heat, which is then delivered to the inside of the processing cylinder to accelerate the dehumidification of the mud.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, two air ducts are installed between the heating chamber and the pressurizing chamber. A fan mounting bracket is installed inside the heating chamber, and the fan is located inside the fan mounting bracket. A mounting frame is installed on one side of the fan mounting bracket, and the heating wires are equidistantly arranged inside the mounting frame. Four positioning bolts extending to the inner wall of the heating chamber are installed on the outer side of the fan mounting bracket. The positioning bolts are used to position the fan mounting bracket and the heating chamber, thereby facilitating quick disassembly during subsequent maintenance and reducing the labor intensity of manual maintenance. A backup battery is installed inside the pressurizing chamber and on one side of the main conveying pipe. Two external access pipes are installed on the other side of the main conveying pipe. A second valve is installed at one end of each external access pipe extending to the outside of the pressurizing chamber. A pressurizing pump is installed at the top end of each of the two backup batteries. A first valve is installed on the outer side of each air outlet pipe. The first valve is used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding air outlet pipe, and the second valve is used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding external access pipe. The backup battery is used to provide the necessary power resources for the operation of the electrical equipment.
[0012] The technical advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the fan mounting bracket and heating chamber are positioned and installed by positioning bolts, which facilitates quick disassembly during subsequent maintenance and reduces the labor intensity of manual maintenance.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a sealed top cover is installed on the top of the feeding hopper, and a feeding hopper is installed on the top of the processing cylinder and on one side of the feeding hopper. One of the fixed baffles has a discharge chute inside for use with the processing cylinder. A sludge discharge pipe is connected to the outside of the discharge chute for subsequent conveying of the quantitatively processed sludge. A support plate is installed on the top of the vacuum pump mounting base and on one side of the other fixed baffle. A fixed seat is installed on one side of the support plate, and the fixed seat is connected to the vacuum pump mounting base. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed seat, and a first tooth is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The first gear has its shaft connected to one end of the feeding hopper via a connecting rod. Two second gears are rotatably connected above the first gear, and both second gears are connected to the first gear. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of each second gear. The rotating rod passes through the conveying channel and extends into the feeding hopper. By driving the motor, the first gear is rotated, which in turn drives the threaded stirring rod to rotate inside the processing cylinder. This quantitatively conveys the mud raw material that enters the processing cylinder through the feeding hopper. On the one hand, it increases the contact area with air to remove moisture inside, and on the other hand, it performs quantitative conveying operations to reduce equipment blockage.
[0014] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is to quantitatively transport the mud raw material that enters the processing cylinder through the feeding hopper.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a vacuum pump is installed inside the vacuum pump mounting base, and a third valve is installed on the outside of the vacuum extraction pipe. The third valve is used to control the opening and closing of the vacuum extraction pipe. By operating the vacuum pump, the air inside the feeding hopper is extracted until a vacuum environment is created.
[0016] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by operating a vacuum pump, the air inside the feeding hopper is extracted until a vacuum environment is created.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a control panel is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting base. The drive motor, vacuum pump, backup battery, first valve, second valve, pressurizing pump, fan, and heating wire are all electrically connected to the control panel. The control panel is used to control the operation of the drive motor, vacuum pump, backup battery, first valve, second valve, pressurizing pump, fan, and heating wire, thereby realizing unified management of electrical equipment.
[0018] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the control panel is used to control the operation of the drive motor, vacuum pump, backup battery, first valve, second valve, pressurization pump, fan and heating wire, realizing unified management of electrical equipment.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] By setting up a fixed base plate, vacuum pump mounting base, positioning frame, and pressurization chamber, the control panel is opened during use. A third valve is installed on the outside of the vacuum pipe, which controls the opening and closing of the vacuum pipe. The vacuum pump operates to extract air from the inside of the feeding hopper until a vacuum environment is created. The first valve controls the opening and closing of the corresponding air outlet pipe, and the second valve controls the opening of the corresponding external access pipe. The backup battery provides the necessary power for the operation of the electrical equipment. The drive motor drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded stirring rod to rotate inside the processing cylinder. This quantitatively conveys the mud raw material entering the processing cylinder through the feeding hopper. On the one hand, it increases the contact area with air to remove the moisture inside, and on the other hand, it performs quantitative conveying operations to reduce the possibility of equipment blockage. The fan and heating wire both operate to heat the material, which is then conveyed into the processing cylinder to accelerate the dehumidification of the mud.
