Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic tile manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic glazing device for ceramic tile glaze. Background Technology

[0002] In the tile manufacturing industry, glazing is a crucial step in enhancing the aesthetics, durability, and stain resistance of tiles. With the continuous development of automation technology, automatic glazing equipment has gradually become standard equipment on tile production lines. However, existing automatic glazing equipment still has many shortcomings in use:

[0003] Specifically, tiles of different sizes require glaze "waterfalls" of varying widths for glazing. However, existing equipment often struggles to flexibly adjust the glaze flow range, limiting its applicability. Furthermore, existing glazes are sprayed onto the glazing hood through discharge pipes. Due to the varying specifications of the discharge pipe openings and the fact that the existing glazing hood has a single, curved surface, it is sometimes difficult to evenly distribute the glaze across the discharge area, thus affecting the glazing effect on the tiles. Additionally, air bubbles are easily generated during the glaze flow, which can create defects on the tile surface, further impacting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic glazing device for ceramic tile surfaces. This device, through the design of an arc-shaped glazing cover and a collection tank, combined with an annular baffle, ensures that the glaze flows evenly in a "waterfall" pattern, fully covering the tile surface. The filter holes effectively remove air bubbles and impurities from the glaze, improving product quality. The drive assembly and adjusting baffle flexibly adjust the glaze flow range to accommodate tiles of different sizes. The rotating assembly continuously agitates the glaze, preventing sedimentation, ensuring uniformity, and avoiding filter clogging. An installed scraper can clean the collection tank and the inner wall of the annular baffle after use, removing residue, keeping the device clean, and extending its service life, thus solving existing technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic glazing device for ceramic tile surfaces includes:

[0007] A glazing cover and a discharge hopper located on top of it, the discharge port of the discharge hopper being equipped with a valve;

[0008] The top of the glazing cover is provided with an arc surface and a central liquid collection tank. The liquid collection tank is used to collect the glaze discharged from the discharge hopper and make it flow evenly along the arc surface.

[0009] An annular baffle is fixed to the top of the glaze coating cover and surrounds the liquid collection tank. The lower half of its outer wall is provided with filter holes arranged at even intervals. The filter holes are used to eliminate glaze bubbles and filter impurities.

[0010] Two adjusting baffles are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the annular baffle, and the adjusting baffles include an arc-shaped baffle that is in sealing and sliding fit with the arc surface of the glaze cover;

[0011] The drive assembly includes a screw connected to the adjusting baffles, which is rotated to adjust the distance between the two adjusting baffles to change the glaze flow range;

[0012] The rotating assembly includes a turntable disposed in a liquid collection tank and a lever fixed to the turntable. The turntable is connected to a motor to drive the lever to stir the glaze and form a vortex.

[0013] Optionally, an arc-shaped fixing plate is provided on the outer side of the annular baffle, and the arc-shaped sealing plates of the two adjusting baffles are slidably disposed in the gap between the annular baffle and the arc-shaped fixing plate. The top of the arc-shaped sealing plate is connected to the guide groove of the arc-shaped limiting plate through a fixing column.

[0014] Optionally, the drive assembly further includes a movable frame threadedly connected to the screw, the movable frame having a movable plate with a clearance groove fixed thereon, the clearance groove slidingly engaging with two fixed columns to drive the adjusting baffle to move.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the arc-shaped baffle is provided with a rubber pad, and its end is provided with a snap-fit ​​block that engages with the edge of the glaze cover.

[0016] Optionally, the rotating assembly further includes a mounting scraper that can be detachably mounted on the lever plate. The mounting scraper has a snap-fit ​​part with a protrusion at its bottom, and the lever plate has a snap-fit ​​groove at its end that mates with the snap-fit ​​part.

[0017] Optionally, the mounting scraper is slidably engaged with the bottom of the liquid collection tank and the inner wall of the annular baffle to scrape off residual glaze.

[0018] Optionally, the dial plate is in close contact with the bottom of the liquid collection tank, and multiple dial plates are distributed radially.

[0019] Optionally, the motor is sealed through the bottom of the glazing cover and connected to the turntable via a rotating shaft.

[0020] Optionally, the arc surface of the glaze coating extends continuously from the liquid collection tank to the outer periphery to form a downward-sloping glaze guide surface.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In this invention, by setting up a glazing cover with an arc surface and a liquid collection tank, the glaze is collected in the liquid collection tank. With the setting of the annular baffle, the glaze can flow evenly along the arc surface of the glazing cover to form a uniform glaze "waterfall" and ensure that the glaze is evenly covered on the surface of the tile.

[0023] In this invention, multiple closely arranged filter holes are provided on the outer wall of the annular baffle. When the glaze passes through the filter holes, it is squeezed, causing the internal bubbles to burst and impurities to be intercepted, thereby effectively removing bubbles and impurities from the glaze and improving product quality.

[0024] In this invention, by setting a driving component and adjusting baffles, the included angle between the two adjusting baffles can be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the flow range of the glaze "waterfall" to meet the glazing requirements of different sized ceramic tiles and improve the applicability of the device.

[0025] In this invention, by setting a rotating component, including a motor, a turntable and a dial plate, the glaze in the collection tank can be continuously stirred to prevent the glaze from settling and improve the uniformity of the glaze. At the same time, a vortex is formed to cause impurities to gather towards the center of the collection tank, thus avoiding clogging of the filter holes.

[0026] In this invention, after the equipment is used, the installation scraper can be fixed to the plate by the snap-fit ​​part. When the installation scraper rotates synchronously with the turntable, it can scrape the bottom of the liquid collection tank and the inner wall of the annular baffle to remove residual glaze or impurities, keep the device clean, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0027] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0037] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "middle", "length", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0039] To keep the following description of the embodiments of this utility model clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.

[0040] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a glazing device, which mainly includes a glazing cover 1, a discharge hopper 2, a blocking component, a driving component, and a rotating component.

[0041] In this embodiment, the glazing cover 1 is one of the core components of the device. Its top is designed with an arc-shaped structure, and a collection tank 7 is located at the center of the top of the glazing cover 1. The function of the collection tank 7 is to collect the glaze discharged from the discharge hopper 2 and ensure that the glaze overflows evenly from the collection tank 7 and flows uniformly across the surface of the glazing cover 1. The discharge hopper 2 is located above the glazing cover 1 and is used to store the glaze and discharge it when needed. A valve 3 is installed at the discharge port of the discharge hopper 2. By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 3, the discharge amount of glaze can be precisely controlled. The discharge hopper 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the glazing cover 1 via a support frame 4. The support frame 4 provides support for the discharge hopper 2, ensuring its stability during operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, a blocking component is disposed on the top of the glaze coating 1 to limit the flow range of the glaze. The blocking component includes an annular baffle 5, two adjusting baffles 6, an arc-shaped fixing plate 16, and an arc-shaped limiting plate 17. The annular baffle 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the glaze coating 1 and corresponds to the liquid collection tank 7. The outer wall of the annular baffle 5 has a plurality of closely arranged filter holes 8, which occupy half of the circumference of the outer wall of the annular baffle 5. The main function of the filter holes 8 is to eliminate and filter the air bubbles and impurities present in the glaze in the liquid collection tank 7, thereby ensuring good uniformity of the glaze flowing on the arc-shaped surface of the glaze coating 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped fixing plate 16 is installed on the top of the glazing cover 1 and is located outside the annular baffle 5, with a certain gap between them. The arc-shaped limiting plate 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped fixing plate 16 and the annular baffle 5, and an arc-shaped guide groove 18 is provided in the arc-shaped limiting plate 17. Both adjusting baffles 6 are composed of an arc-shaped sealing plate 23, an arc-shaped baffle 24, and a fixing post 25. The arc-shaped baffle 24 is fixedly installed on one end of the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate 23, and the arc-shaped sealing plate 23 is slidably disposed in the gap between the arc-shaped fixing plate 16 and the annular baffle 5. The arc-shaped sealing plate 23 is in a sealing sliding fit with the outer wall of the annular baffle 5 and the top of the glazing cover 1 to prevent glaze from leaking from the gap. Both fixing posts 25 are fixedly installed on the top of the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate 23 and are located at the end of the corresponding arc-shaped sealing plate 23 away from the arc-shaped baffle 24. Both fixing posts 25 pass through the guide groove 18 and are in a sliding fit with the inner wall of the guide groove 18.

[0044] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a screw 19, a movable plate 20, and a movable frame 22. The screw 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the glazing cover 1 via a bracket, and the screw 19 is located on the side of the annular baffle 5 where the multiple filter holes 8 are not formed. One end of the screw 19 is rotatably connected to one side of the arc-shaped limiting plate 17 via a bracket to ensure the stability of the screw 19 during rotation. The movable frame 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 20, and is also threadedly connected to the screw 19. The movable plate 20 is slidably engaged with the top of the arc-shaped limiting plate 17, and a clearance groove 21 is formed inside the movable plate 20. The inner wall of the clearance groove 21 is slidably engaged with two fixed posts 25. When the screw 19 rotates, because the movable frame 22 is threadedly connected to the screw 19 and the movable plate 20 is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped limiting plate 17, the movable frame 22 will drive the movable plate 20 to slide along the arc-shaped limiting plate 17. During the sliding process of the movable plate 20, the inner wall of the clearance groove 21 will exert a force on the two fixed columns 25, causing the two fixed columns 25 to slide in the guide groove 18, thereby driving the two adjusting baffles 6 to adjust the angle between them, thereby adjusting the flow range of the glaze.

[0045] In this embodiment, the rotating assembly includes a motor 9, a turntable 10, paddles 11, and a mounting scraper 12. The motor 9 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the glazing cover 1 via a bracket. The bottom of the turntable 10 is sealed and rotates through the bottom of the glazing cover 1 via a rotating shaft, and one end of the output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft at the bottom of the turntable 10. The turntable 10 and the multiple paddles 11 are all located in the liquid collection tank 7, and are in close contact with and slidingly engaged with the bottom inner wall of the liquid collection tank 7. When the motor 9 is started, the output shaft of the motor 9 drives the rotating shaft at the bottom of the turntable 10 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 10 to rotate, and the turntable 10 drives the multiple paddles 11 to rotate. During the rotation of the multiple paddles 11, the glaze in the liquid collection tank 7 can be stirred to ensure good uniformity of the glaze. At the same time, the rotation of the paddles 11 can also form a vortex in the liquid collection tank 7, which is conducive to the collection of impurities and prevents them from clogging the multiple filter holes 8.

[0046] This application can be used in the field of ceramic tile manufacturing technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0047] Example 2: Reference Figure 3 , 4 7. Improvement based on Example 1: An automatic glazing device for ceramic tile glaze, which is applied to the field of ceramic tile manufacturing technology;

[0048] In this embodiment, each of the multiple levers 11 has a snap-fit ​​groove 15 at one end, and the bottom of the mounting scraper 12 is provided with two snap-fit ​​parts 13. A protrusion 14 is fixedly installed on the side of each snap-fit ​​part 13 that is close to each other. Both snap-fit ​​parts 13 engage with the corresponding two snap-fit ​​grooves 15. This snap-fit ​​method ensures the stable installation of the mounting scraper 12. The mounting scraper 12 slides against the inner wall of the bottom of the collection tank 7 and the inner wall of the annular baffle 5. During the rotation of the levers 11, the mounting scraper 12 also rotates accordingly, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the bottom of the collection tank 7 and the inner wall of the annular baffle 5, preventing glaze from accumulating on these surfaces and affecting the quality and flow of the glaze.

[0049] In this embodiment, rubber pads are fixedly installed at the bottom of both arc-shaped baffles 24. Both arc-shaped baffles 24 are sealed and slidably fitted with the arc-shaped surface of the glaze cover 1 through the rubber pads, further ensuring the sealing of the glaze during the flow process.

[0050] In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​block 26 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two arc-shaped baffles 24. Both snap-fit ​​blocks 26 are snapped and slidably engaged with the edge of the glazing cover 1, making the adjusting baffle 6 more stable during the sliding process.

[0051] In this embodiment, a support frame 4 is provided on one side of the glazing cover 1. The support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the discharge hopper 2 to complete the support and fixation of the discharge hopper 2.

[0052] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of motor 9 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge, so they will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0053] The usage process and working principle of this utility model technical solution are as follows:

[0054] Initially, the discharge hopper 2 contains glaze, and valve 3 is closed. When starting the device, valve 3 is opened to allow the glaze to flow from the discharge port into the collection tank 7 at the top of the glazing cover 1. The arc-shaped structure of the collection tank 7 ensures that the glaze collects, and when the glaze overflows, it ensures that it flows naturally in all directions through the arc surface of the glazing cover 1.

[0055] After the glaze overflows from the collection tank 7, it flows through the filter holes 8 on the outer wall of the annular baffle 5. The filter holes 8 are densely arranged, and the glaze is squeezed by the filter holes 8 as it passes through, causing the internal air bubbles to burst and impurities to be intercepted. Finally, the filtered glaze evenly covers the arc-shaped surface of the glaze coating cover 1.

[0056] Then the glaze flows evenly down the arc-shaped surface of the glazing cover 1, forming a glaze "waterfall". When the tile passes through the glaze "waterfall" via the conveyor belt, the glaze can be evenly covered on the surface of the tile to complete the automatic glazing of the tile.

[0057] Before use, the range of the glaze "waterfall" can be adjusted by changing the angle between the two adjusting baffles 6, adapting to the glazing needs of tiles of different sizes. During adjustment, rotating the screw 19 allows the moving frame 22 and the moving plate 20 to move axially along the screw 19. The clearance groove 21 of the moving plate 20 pushes the two fixed columns 25 to slide within the guide groove 18, causing the two arc-shaped sealing plates 23 to move synchronously inward or outward along the gap between the arc-shaped fixed plate 16 and the annular baffle 5, thereby adjusting the included angle between the two arc-shaped baffles 24. The rubber pad at the bottom of the arc-shaped baffle 24 maintains a sealed sliding contact with the surface of the glazing cover 1, ensuring that the glaze flows out only from the adjusted opening area.

[0058] When in use, the motor 9 can be started, which drives the turntable 10 to rotate multiple baffles 11 within the collection tank 7. The rotation of the baffles 11 continuously agitates the glaze, preventing sedimentation and improving its uniformity. Simultaneously, the eddies generated during agitation cause impurities to gather towards the center of the collection tank 7, preventing them from entering the filter holes 8 with the glaze and causing blockage.

[0059] After the equipment is used, the installation scraper 12 can be fixed to the snap-fit ​​groove 15 of the push plate 11 through the snap-fit ​​part 13. Then the installation scraper 12 can rotate synchronously with the turntable 10, which can scrape the bottom of the liquid collection tank 7 and the inner wall of the annular baffle 5 to remove residual glaze or impurities.
