Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of porcelain tile processing equipment, specifically to a porcelain tile raw material feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Porcelain tiles possess the texture of natural stone, but also offer advantages such as high gloss, high hardness, high wear resistance, high stain resistance, low water absorption, minimal color variation, and a wide variety of sizes and colors. They are a common wall and floor material in bathrooms. The main raw materials for porcelain tiles include clay, quartz sand, and other inorganic non-metallic materials. Specifically, porcelain tiles are made by crushing natural stone, adding chemical binders, pressing them together, and then sintering them at high temperatures.

[0003] Traditional porcelain tile raw materials need to be placed in a feeding device for mixing and uniform feeding. If too much raw material is injected at once, blockages can easily occur inside the device and at the feeding port, affecting the feeding of subsequent raw materials. In addition, during the mixing process, the porcelain tile raw materials are also prone to clumping on the inner wall of the device. These clumps will aggravate the blockage at the feeding port and affect work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a ceramic tile raw material feeding device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic tile raw material feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceramic tile raw material feeding device, comprising a feeding mechanism and a feeding mechanism installed on one side of the feeding mechanism, wherein the feeding mechanism comprises a storage cylinder and a lifting cylinder connected to one side of the storage cylinder, and a connecting cylinder is connected to one side of the upper end of the lifting cylinder;

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding cylinder connected to one side of the connecting cylinder, and a feeding pipe is connected to the lower end of the feeding cylinder;

[0008] The feeding mechanism is internally equipped with a drive mechanism;

[0009] A mixing mechanism is provided on one side of the driving mechanism, and the mixing mechanism is located inside the connecting cylinder and the feeding cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding cylinder has inclined portions on both sides, and a first annular component is installed inside the feeding cylinder, with first feeding ports circumferentially opened on both sides of the first annular component.

[0011] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor mounted on the upper end of the lifting cylinder, a first rotating shaft mounted on the output end of the motor, a first auger fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft, and a first bevel gear mounted on the first rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the mixing mechanism includes a second rotating shaft, one end of which is equipped with a second bevel gear, which meshes with the first bevel gear, and a second auger is mounted on the second rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a mixing blade is fixedly installed at one end of the second rotating shaft. The mixing blade is rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder, and a second annular component is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the mixing blade.

[0014] Preferably, the second annular component is rotatably mounted inside the first annular component, and the second annular component is further provided with a second feeding port that is adapted to the first feeding port.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The operator pours the raw materials for making ceramic tiles into the storage cylinder. The storage cylinder is positioned low, which saves effort. The raw materials then enter the lifting cylinder, connecting cylinder, and feeding cylinder in sequence, and finally exit from the feeding pipe. Under the action of the storage cylinder, lifting cylinder, and feeding cylinder, the materials can be mixed once during the conveying process. The raw materials are slowly lifted, reducing the blockage caused by excessive input at one time. The upward lifting and conveying method greatly reduces the time and effort required for the operator to feed the materials. The raw materials enter the feeding cylinder and are mixed a second time by the mixing mechanism. After multiple stirring and mixing, it is easy to eliminate caking. Finally, the raw materials are discharged from the feeding pipe. The good mixing effect of the raw materials improves the work efficiency to a certain extent.

[0017] 2. After the motor is turned on, the raw material at the bottom of the lifting cylinder is lifted vertically upward. During the rotation of the first auger, the raw material can be effectively prevented from sticking to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder, providing driving force for the material conveying of this device. With the cooperation of the first rotating shaft, the first bevel gear, the second rotating shaft, the second bevel gear, and the second auger, the second auger rotates in the connecting cylinder, and the raw material falls slowly until it is completely discharged into the feeding cylinder, further preventing blockage caused by too much raw material injected at one time. The outer circumference of the second auger is attached to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, reducing the adhesion of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder, thereby increasing the smoothness of the feeding of ceramic brick raw materials.

[0018] 3. During the rotation of the second rotating shaft, the outer circumference of the second annular component rotates along the first annular component. When the second feeding port is connected to the first feeding port, the raw material can fall through the connected port until it is discharged from the feeding pipe. After being slowly conveyed by the first and second augers, the raw material is added into the feeding cylinder in small amounts and multiple times. This not only reduces the blockage of the raw material, but also gives the raw material sufficient time to mix. Therefore, the raw material discharged from the feeding pipe is more uniform and is convenient for subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3A ceramic tile raw material feeding device includes a feeding mechanism 1 and a feeding mechanism 2 installed on one side of the feeding mechanism 1. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a storage cylinder 11 and a lifting cylinder 12 connected to one side of the storage cylinder 11. A connecting cylinder 13 is installed on one side of the upper end of the lifting cylinder 12. The operator pours the raw materials for making ceramic tiles into the storage cylinder 11. The storage cylinder 11 is located at a low position, which saves effort, until the raw materials automatically enter the bottom of the lifting cylinder 12.

[0027] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding cylinder 21 connected to one side of the connecting cylinder 13. The lower end of the feeding cylinder 21 is connected to a feeding pipe 23. The feeding mechanism 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism 3, which drives the entire device. When the drive mechanism 3 is activated, it conveys the raw material at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 12 upwards, then through the connecting cylinder 13 into the feeding cylinder 21, and finally out through the feeding pipe 23 for subsequent ball milling and sintering processes. Under the action of the storage cylinder 11, the lifting cylinder 12, and the feeding cylinder 21, the material can be mixed once during the conveying process. The raw material is slowly lifted, reducing the blockage caused by excessive input at one time. The upward lifting and conveying method greatly reduces the time and effort required for operators to feed the material.

[0028] Inclined sections 22 are provided on both sides of the feeding cylinder 21, and the feeding pipe 23 is located at the lowest end of the inclined section 22, which facilitates the complete discharge of raw materials.

[0029] A mixing mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the drive mechanism 3. The mixing mechanism 4 is located inside the connecting cylinder 13 and the feeding cylinder 21. When the raw material enters the feeding cylinder 21, it can be mixed twice by the mixing mechanism 4. After multiple stirring and mixing, it is easy to eliminate caking. Finally, the raw material is discharged from the feeding pipe 23. The raw material mixing effect is good, which improves the work efficiency to a certain extent.

[0030] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 2-4. The drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 installed on the upper end of the lifting cylinder 12. A first rotating shaft 32 is installed on the output end of the motor 31. A first auger 33 is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the first rotating shaft 32. After the motor 31 is turned on, the first rotating shaft 32 and the first auger 33 rotate, which facilitates the vertical upward lifting of the raw material at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 12. The first auger 33 is in contact with the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 12. During the rotation, it can effectively prevent the raw material from sticking to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 12, thus providing driving force for the material conveying of this device.

[0031] A first bevel gear 34 is also installed on the first rotating shaft 32. The mixing mechanism 4 includes a second rotating shaft 41. A second bevel gear 42 is installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 41. The second bevel gear 42 meshes with the first bevel gear 34. A second auger 43 is installed on the second rotating shaft 41.

[0032] With the cooperation of the first rotating shaft 32, the first bevel gear 34, the second rotating shaft 41, the second bevel gear 42, and the second auger 43, the first rotating shaft 32 rotates, and the first bevel gear 34 drives the second bevel gear 42 and the second rotating shaft 41 to rotate. That is, the second auger 43 rotates in the connecting cylinder 13. The raw material lifted by the first auger 33 enters the connecting cylinder 13. Under the action of the second auger 43, the raw material falls slowly until it is completely discharged into the feeding cylinder 21, further preventing blockage caused by too much raw material injected at one time. The outer periphery of the second auger 43 is attached to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 13, reducing the adhesion of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 13, thereby increasing the smoothness of the feeding of ceramic tile raw materials.

[0033] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 2-5. A mixing blade 44 is also fixedly installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 41. The mixing blade 44 is rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder 21. A second annular component 45 is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the mixing blade 44.

[0034] The raw material is discharged into the feeding cylinder 21 under the action of the second auger 43. The second rotating shaft 41 is always rotating, which can drive the mixing blade 44 and the second annular part 45 to rotate. During the rotation process, the mixing blade 44 can effectively drive the raw material to mix, so as to ensure that the raw material can be mixed evenly multiple times before discharge, which is convenient for subsequent ball mill feeding.

[0035] The feeding cylinder 21 is equipped with a first annular component 24. The first annular component 24 has a first feeding port 25 circumferentially opened on both sides. The second annular component 45 is rotatably installed inside the first annular component 24. The second annular component 45 is also equipped with a second feeding port 46 that is compatible with the first feeding port 25.

[0036] During the rotation of the second rotating shaft 41, the mixing blade 44 and the second annular component 45 rotate. The outer circumference of the second annular component 45 rotates along the first annular component 24. When the second feeding port 46 is connected to the first feeding port 46, the raw material can fall through the connected port until it is discharged from the feeding pipe 23. After being slowly conveyed by the first auger 33 and the second auger 43, the raw material is added into the feeding cylinder 21 in small amounts and multiple times. This not only reduces the blockage of the raw material, but also gives the raw material sufficient time to mix. Therefore, the raw material discharged from the feeding pipe 23 is more uniform and is convenient for subsequent processing.
