Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile technology, and in particular to a multi-station drying device for ceramic tile blanks. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing ceramic tile production process, the ceramic tile blanks need to be dried using drying equipment after molding. However, during the drying process, the stacked tiles are too close together, and the distance between the tiles and the heating equipment is uneven. This results in uneven heating between the tiles, reducing drying efficiency. Furthermore, the uneven distance between individual tiles and the heating equipment also leads to uneven heating within each tile, which can easily cause deformation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as uneven heating leading to deformation, by proposing a multi-station drying device for ceramic tile blanks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a multi-station drying device for ceramic tile blanks, including a shell, a rotating seat rotatably mounted on the bottom inner side of the shell, the rotating seat being connected to an external motor via a gear structure, a loading frame fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rotating seat by bolts, multiple loading frames arranged vertically and fixedly connected by fixing rods, a side mesh frame fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the loading frame, a tile placing mechanism fixedly mounted inside the side mesh frame, a fan fixedly mounted on the bottom inner side of the shell, and an air outlet fixedly mounted on the top of the shell.

[0006] Preferably, the tile placement mechanism includes a frame, which is fixedly installed inside the side frame. At least two pairs of sliders are slidably arranged inside the frame. A spring is fixedly connected to the side of each pair of sliders that is far apart from each other. The end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. The end of the slider extends through to the top of the frame and is fixedly installed with a limiting frame. A support plate is held between the limiting frames.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating seat, loading rack, and frame are coaxially arranged, and each pair of sliders is distributed in a circumferential array along the central axis of the frame.

[0008] Preferably, a template plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, a moisture-absorbing mechanism is also fixedly installed inside the housing. The moisture-absorbing mechanism includes a central shell, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the housing. The central shell movably passes through the middle of the loading frame. A ventilation net is fixedly installed on the side wall of the central shell. A drying column is also provided inside the central shell, and the upper end of the drying column is threadedly connected to the top of the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the central shell is coaxially arranged with the loading frame.

[0011] Preferably, the drying column has multiple protruding columns on its side.

[0012] The present invention discloses a multi-station drying device for ceramic tile blanks, which has the following advantages: During operation, the device uses a limiting frame to clamp support plates of different sizes, supporting tiles of different sizes. The evenly distributed support plates ensure uniform and relatively dispersed tile placement, allowing for effective internal heating. The rotating seat rotates the loading frame, which in turn rotates the tiles. Heating strips on the surface of the outer shell and central shell ensure uniform heating of the inner and outer surfaces of the tiles, preventing uneven heating and deformation. The fan improves air circulation within the shell, and the drying column dries the air, enhancing ventilation and dehumidification during the tile drying process, resulting in rapid drying of the tiles.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-4 A multi-station drying device for ceramic tile blanks includes a shell 1. Heating strips are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell 1, allowing for heating of the interior. A rotating seat 2 is rotatably mounted on the bottom inner side of the shell 1. The rotating seat 2 is connected to an external motor via a gear structure, enabling the external motor to rotate the rotating seat 2. Loading racks 6 are bolted to the upper end of the rotating seat 2. Multiple loading racks 6 are arranged vertically and fixedly connected by fixing rods 13, with gaps between them. The multiple loading racks 6 can separate the ceramic tile blanks into multiple layers, with sufficient gaps between each layer to ensure effective heating of each layer.

[0020] A side mesh frame 7 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the loading frame 6. The side mesh frame 7 serves a load-bearing and protective function, collecting debris from falling tile blanks to prevent damage to the tiles below. Simultaneously, the side mesh frame 7 does not affect the heating of the tiles. A tile-placing mechanism is fixedly installed inside the side mesh frame 7, providing a placement position for the tiles and ensuring they are evenly arranged within the side mesh frame 7. A fan 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the housing 1. When the fan 14 is activated, it improves air circulation inside the housing 1. An air outlet 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the housing 1, allowing for convenient ventilation inside the housing 1 when opened. Since the tile blanks are initially quite moist during drying, resulting in high humidity inside the housing 1, activating the fan 14 and opening the air outlet 15 quickly removes this moisture, improving the efficiency of tile drying.

[0021] The tile-laying mechanism includes a frame 8, which is fixedly installed inside the side frame 7. In this embodiment, the loading frame 6, the side frame 7, and the frame 8 are configured with a regular octagonal cross-section, and the rotating seat 2, the loading frame 6, and the frame 8 are coaxially arranged. When the rotating seat 2 drives the loading frame 6 to rotate, the overall space occupied by the loading frame 6 does not increase, and it can provide the same size space for the tiles, with equal spacing between the tiles, allowing for uniform heating inside the tiles. At least two pairs of sliders 9 are slidably arranged inside the frame 8. Each pair of sliders 9 is arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the frame 8, and the sliders 9 are evenly distributed within each side of the frame 8. A spring 12 is fixedly connected to the side of each pair of sliders 9 that is far apart from each other. The end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 8, and the spring 12 generates an elastic supporting force on the sliders 9, allowing the sliders 9 to have an elastic tendency to move closer together.

[0022] The slider 9 extends through to the top of the frame 8 and is fixedly mounted with a limiting frame 10. A support plate 11 is clamped between the limiting frames 10, and the limiting frames 10 clamp the support plate 11 under the elastic tendency of the slider 9. The support plate 11 and the limiting frames 10 are easily detached and reassembled, allowing for the replacement of different sized support plates 11 as needed, and enabling the placement of tiles of different sizes. The upper surface of the support plate 11 is used to place the tiles. Due to the uneven overall structure of the tiles, to prevent damage when the tiles are placed on the smooth surface of the support plate 11, a mold plate can be fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 11 as needed. The shape of the mold plate surface matches the tile, ensuring a perfect fit between the tile shape and the mold plate surface, providing effective support for the entire tile and preventing deformation and damage due to uneven force when placing damp tile blanks. Support plates 11 with different types of mold plates can also be replaced as needed to support tiles of different shapes.

[0023] A moisture-absorbing mechanism is also fixedly installed inside the housing 1, which absorbs moisture from the air inside the housing 1. The moisture-absorbing mechanism includes a central shell 3, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the housing 1. The central shell 3 movably passes through the middle of the loading frame 6 and is coaxially arranged with the loading frame 6, ensuring that the central shell 3 does not affect the rotation of the loading frame 6. A heating strip is also fixedly installed on the outer surface of the central shell 3, allowing for heating of the inner part of the tile from the center. The tile is located between the housing 1 and the central shell 3, ensuring effective heating of both the inner and outer sides of the tile, resulting in uniform heating and preventing deformation due to uneven heating. A ventilation mesh 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the central shell 3, connecting the housing 1 and the central shell 3. A drying column 5 is also provided inside the central shell 3, providing excellent drying capabilities and absorbing moisture from the interior of the housing 1, thus improving the drying efficiency of the tile. The upper end of the drying column 5 is threaded to the top of the housing 1, allowing for easy disassembly and replacement of the drying column 5. Multiple protruding columns are provided on the side of the drying column 5; the diameter of these protruding columns is larger than the diameter of the drying column 5, increasing the contact area between the drying column 5 and the air, thus improving the drying effect.

[0024] Working Principle: During operation, this multi-station drying equipment for ceramic tile blanks selects a suitable support plate 11 and clamps and supports it using the unfolding limiting frame 10. Then, the door of the housing 1 is opened, and the tile blank is placed on the upper surface of the support plate 11. The self-rotating loading frame 6 can place the tile on all the support plates 11. After closing the door, the external motor drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the loading frame 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the tile to rotate. The power supply to the heating strips is turned on, and the heating strips on the surface of the housing 1 and the central housing 3 evenly heat the inner and outer sides of the tile. The fan 14 is started, and the air blown by the fan improves the air circulation inside the housing 1. The air is dried by the drying column 5, and air containing a large amount of moisture is also discharged. This strengthens ventilation and dehumidification measures during the tile drying process, allowing the tile to be dried quickly.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
