Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rolling mill technology, specifically to a ceramic rolling mill. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic rolling mills are important tools in modern ceramic production. Before operation, the clay is manually placed into the mold. Then, the mold containing the clay is inserted into the sleeve directly below the rolling head. The sleeve drives the mold to rotate. The rolling head and the mold containing the clay rotate in the same direction around their respective axes and move closer to each other, so that the clay is rolled and formed along the working surface of the mold under the pressure of the mold and the rolling head.
[0003] Most existing ceramic rolling mills operate on an intermittent start-stop basis. Workers must insert a mold filled with clay into a sleeve during these stop-and-start intervals, allowing the mill to roll the clay into shape. However, in practice, factors such as slippage and insufficient clay addition can cause delays in mold insertion. This often results in the mill starting up just as the mold is being inserted, posing a safety hazard and increasing the risk of injury to workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a ceramic rolling mill that can solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art where the ceramic rolling mill often starts up during the process of inserting the mold into the sleeve.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A ceramic rolling mill includes a worktable and a rolling head. A concave cylinder is provided on the worktable, and a sliding sleeve is provided inside the concave cylinder. An outer support is provided along the top edge of the sleeve, and several limiting rods are distributed around the bottom circumference of the outer support. A limiting hole corresponding to each of the limiting rods is provided on the top of the concave cylinder. A first spring is fitted onto each limiting rod, with one end connected to the bottom of the outer support and the other end connected to the top of the concave cylinder. A touch sensor is installed at the bottom of the concave cylinder. A drive mechanism for driving the rolling head and the concave cylinder to operate is provided on the worktable, and the drive mechanism is electrically connected to the touch sensor.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer support, and the other end is fixedly connected to a circular plate, the side of the circular plate away from the first spring contacting the top of the concave cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve, and a touch button is fixedly connected to the other end of the second spring. The touch button corresponds to the quasi-touch sensor.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder and a first rotary motor. The cylinder is fixed on the worktable, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. The first rotary motor is mounted on the support frame, and the output end of the first rotary motor is fixedly connected to the rolling head.
[0010] Furthermore, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the workbench, and a sliding groove is provided on the side of the vertical plate. A slider that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove is provided on the side of the support frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a second rotary motor, the top of the worktable is provided with a groove that mates with the concave cylinder, the second rotary motor is installed inside the groove, and the concave cylinder is fixed to the output end of the second rotary motor.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Inside the concave cylinder, there is a sliding sleeve that moves up and down. A spring is installed between the outer support of the sleeve and the top of the concave cylinder, and a touch sensor is installed at the bottom of the concave cylinder. When no mold is inserted into the sleeve, the first spring keeps the bottom of the sleeve and the touch sensor at a distance. When a mold containing clay is inserted into the sleeve, the sleeve descends and compresses the first spring, so that the bottom of the sleeve contacts the touch sensor. When the touch sensor is touched, it transmits a signal to the drive mechanism, which then drives the rolling head and the concave cylinder to operate. This prevents the ceramic rolling machine from starting when the mold is inserted into the sleeve, avoiding injury to the worker's hands and reducing safety hazards.
[0014] The combination of the limiting rod and the limiting hole can limit the sleeve, prevent the sleeve from rotating, and avoid reducing the quality of the clay molding. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a ceramic rolling mill includes a worktable 1 and a rolling head 2. A concave cylinder 3 is provided on the worktable 1, and a sliding sleeve 4 is provided inside the concave cylinder 3. An outer support 5 is provided along the top edge of the sleeve 4, and four limiting rods 6 are distributed around the bottom circumference of the outer support 5. The top of the concave cylinder 3 has limiting holes 7 corresponding to the four limiting rods 6. The cooperation of the limiting rods 6 and the limiting holes 7 can limit the sleeve 4, preventing it from rotating and thus avoiding a reduction in the quality of the clay forming. A first spring 8 is fitted onto the limiting rod 6. One end of the first spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer support 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to a circular ring plate 10. The side of the circular ring plate 10 away from the first spring 8 contacts the top of the concave cylinder 3. The first spring 8 is not fixedly connected to the concave cylinder 3, allowing the sleeve 4 to be easily moved from the concave cylinder 3. The sleeve 4 is removed from the concave cylinder 3, and the first spring 8 keeps the bottom of the sleeve 4 at a distance from the touch sensor 9. When the mold 20 containing mud is inserted into the sleeve 4, the sleeve 4 will descend and compress the first spring 8. The touch sensor 9 is installed at the bottom of the concave cylinder 3, and the bottom of the sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the second spring 11. The other end of the second spring 11 is fixedly connected to the touch button 12. The touch button 12 is aligned with the touch sensor 9. When the sleeve 4 descends in the concave cylinder 3, it will drive the touch button 12 to descend through the second spring 11 until the touch button 12 contacts the touch sensor 9. The second spring 11 can play a buffering role, which can reduce the impact force of the touch button 12 on the touch sensor 9 and extend the service life of the touch sensor 9.
[0024] The workbench 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the rolling head 2 and the concave cylinder 3 to perform operations. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to the touch sensor 9. The drive mechanism includes a cylinder 13, a first rotary motor 14, a second rotary motor, and a controller. The cylinder 13 is fixed on the workbench 1, and a support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 13. The first rotary motor 14 is mounted on the support frame 15, and its output end is fixedly connected to the rolling head 2. The top of the workbench 1 has a groove 19 that mates with the concave cylinder 3. The second rotary motor is installed inside the groove 19, and the concave cylinder 3 is fixed to the output end of the second rotary motor. 3. The first rotary motor 14, the second rotary motor, and the touch sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the controller. When the touch sensor 9 is touched by the touch button 12, it will transmit a signal to the controller. The controller will then control the cylinder 13, the first rotary motor 14, and the second rotary motor to start. That is, the second rotary motor drives the concave cylinder 3 to rotate, the first rotary motor 14 drives the rolling head 2 to rotate, and the cylinder 13 drives the first rotary motor 14 to descend to perform one rolling operation. After that, the controller will control the first rotary motor 14 and the second rotary motor to stop, and control the cylinder 13 to drive the first rotary motor 14 to return to its original position.
[0025] A vertical plate 16 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The side of the vertical plate 16 is provided with a sliding groove 17. The side of the support frame 15 is provided with a slider 18 that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 17. This is used to improve the stability of the support frame 15 moving up and down, thereby improving the stability of the first rotary motor 14 and thus improving the quality of the clay forming.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, when the ceramic rolling mill is in use, the mold 20 containing clay is inserted into the sleeve 4. Then the sleeve 4 will descend and compress the first spring 8. When the sleeve 4 descends in the concave cylinder 3, it will drive the touch button 12 to descend through the second spring 11 until the touch button 12 contacts the touch sensor 9. After the touch sensor 9 is touched, it will transmit a signal to the controller. The controller will then control the cylinder 13, the first rotary motor 14 and the second rotary motor to perform a rolling operation. That is, the second rotary motor drives the concave cylinder 3 to rotate, the first rotary motor 14 drives the rolling head 2 to rotate, and the cylinder 13 drives the first rotary motor 14 to descend to perform a rolling operation. This can prevent the ceramic rolling mill from starting when the mold 20 is inserted into the sleeve 4, avoid injury to the worker's hands, and reduce safety hazards.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
