Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic production technology, specifically to a glazing device for ceramic production. Background Technology

[0002] Glaze is a silicate. Glazes applied to ceramic products are generally made from quartz, feldspar, and clay. These are ground, mixed with water, and then applied to the surface of the ceramic body. After firing at a certain temperature, the glaze melts and, as the temperature drops, forms a thin, glassy layer on the ceramic surface. This glaze increases the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and dielectric strength of the ceramic, and protects against the erosion of liquids and gases. Glazes also enhance the appearance of porcelain and facilitate cleaning, preventing dust accumulation. Commonly used glazing methods include dipping, pouring, glazing, brushing, spraying, and sprinkling. Dipping, also known as "immersion glazing," involves immersing the ceramic body in the glaze for a short time, then removing it. The glaze adheres to the body due to its absorbency. The thickness of the glaze layer is controlled by the absorbency of the body, the concentration of the glaze, and the immersion time. This method is suitable for thick-bodied ceramic bodies and for applying external glazes to everyday ceramic products such as cups and bowls.

[0003] An investigation revealed that a Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN219235644U) discloses a glazing device for ceramic product manufacturing, comprising a glaze tank, a power mechanism, a positioning component, and a transfer mechanism for driving the blank into or out of the glaze tank. A support component is provided at the output end of the power mechanism, and the glaze tank is mounted on the support component. The glaze tank is a telescopic structure. The positioning component limits the top of the glaze tank. When the power mechanism drives the support component to move towards the positioning component, the area of ​​the glaze tank between the support component and the positioning component is compressed, ensuring that the glaze level in the glaze tank is at a height that allows the blank to be completely submerged. The height difference between the glaze level in the glaze tank and the transfer mechanism is controlled within a fixed range. Without increasing the stroke of the transfer mechanism, the height of the glaze level is controlled to ensure the consistency of the glazing depth of the blank and to ensure an orderly production cycle.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent ensures that the glaze level in the glaze tank is at a height that allows the blank to be completely submerged through the setting of the power mechanism, and controls the height difference between the glaze level in the glaze tank and the transfer mechanism within a fixed range, thus ensuring the consistency of the glaze immersion depth of the blank and the orderly production cycle without increasing the stroke of the transfer mechanism, the aforementioned glazing device is inconvenient for discharging glaze. Glaze that is not discharged in time will gradually solidify at the bottom or corner of the equipment, causing a lot of waste and increasing production costs. Residual glaze may not be effectively recycled, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of raw materials. Residual old glaze may mix into the new glaze, resulting in uneven glaze composition and affecting the color, gloss, or texture of ceramic products.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a glazing device for ceramic production to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] ( ) Beneficial effects

[0017] The glaze dipping tank features a sloping lower section. This sloping structure utilizes gravity to allow the glaze to flow naturally towards the lower outlet, preventing glaze from stagnating or accumulating inside the tank, reducing waste and cleaning difficulty. When glaze needs to be changed, simply opening the sealing block allows for quick evacuation of the glaze through the sloping surface, shortening downtime and improving production efficiency. The sloping design also reduces dead zones for glaze adhesion. After removing the sealing block, the inside of the glaze dipping tank can be easily rinsed or wiped to prevent glaze from hardening and contaminating the equipment. This reduces the amount of manual scraping to remove residual glaze and extends the equipment's lifespan (avoiding damage caused by residual glaze corrosion or wear). 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] This utility model provides a glazing device for ceramic production, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, the ceramic production glazing device includes a glazing tank 1. A mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper back side of the glazing tank 1, and a cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 2. A mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 3, and a placement frame 6 is engaged with the front end of the mounting plate 4 by a movable block 5. A baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the glazing tank 1, a partition 8 is fixedly connected to the lower interior of the glazing tank 1, and a sealing block 9 is engaged with the lower right side of the glazing tank 1.

[0027] The lower interior of the glazing tank 1 is designed with a slope. This slope utilizes gravity to allow the glaze to flow naturally to a lower outlet (such as the glaze discharge port or the sealing block 9), preventing glaze from stagnating or accumulating within the tank, reducing waste and cleaning difficulty. During glaze changes, the slope accelerates glaze discharge, shortens downtime, and improves production efficiency. The slope also reduces dead zones for glaze adhesion, allowing for easy removal of residual glaze with rinsing or wiping, preventing hardening and contamination, reducing manual scraping of residual glaze, and extending equipment lifespan (avoiding corrosion caused by residual glaze). (Damage caused by corrosion or wear), the lowest point of the slope can serve as a glaze accumulation area. By adjusting the opening degree of the glaze discharge port or the sealing block 9, the discharge speed and amount of glaze can be precisely controlled to avoid excessive discharge or splashing. The slope design can flexibly cope with various glaze viscosities and glazing requirements (such as thick glaze, thin glaze or multi-layer glazing). The lowest point of the slope, as a glaze accumulation area, can prevent residual glaze from contacting new glaze, prevent impurities or solidified particles from mixing into the glaze tank, ensure the purity of the glaze, reduce the problem of uneven color or performance degradation caused by the mixing of new and old glazes, and improve product consistency.

[0028] The placement frame 6 is movably engaged with the mounting plate 4 via the movable block 5, which has a T-shaped structure. The mounting plate 4 has a T-shaped slot that mates with the movable block 5. The placement frame 6 has evenly spaced through holes. The T-shaped structure of the movable block 5 and the T-shaped slot of the mounting plate 4 form a mechanical interlock, effectively preventing the placement frame 6 from falling off under lateral or longitudinal forces, ensuring long-term stable fixation. The limiting function of the T-shaped slot absorbs vibrations or impacts during equipment operation, preventing the placement frame 6 from loosening or shifting. This design is suitable for industrial environments. The movable block 5 can be manually slid into or out of the slot without bolts or tools, enabling quick assembly and disassembly for easy daily maintenance or replacement. The placement frame 6 can be disassembled independently for easy cleaning of the through holes. The through holes on the placement frame 6 allow liquids (such as excess glaze and cleaning water) to drain quickly, preventing water accumulation or glaze residue from causing contamination or corrosion. The through holes also promote air circulation, accelerate moisture evaporation or heat dissipation, and prevent bacteria growth or deformation inside the placement frame 6 due to moisture or high temperature. The evenly distributed through holes reduce material usage and overall weight while ensuring strength, saving costs. The T-shaped slot support structure distributes the load, ensuring that the placement frame 6 is not easily deformed when carrying ceramic products or other heavy objects. The depth and width of the T-shaped slot limit the movement range of the movable block 5, preventing over-insertion or detachment and avoiding equipment damage due to operational errors.

[0029] There are three sets of baffles 7, which are made of rubber. The baffles 7 are designed with an inclined structure. The inclined structure can guide the splashed glaze or liquid back into the glazing tank 1, preventing it from splashing outside the equipment or the operating area, reducing waste and environmental pollution. The baffles 7 can fit against the edge of the glazing tank 1, fill gaps and absorb vibration, prevent glaze from seeping out of the gaps, and prevent damage to the equipment caused by collisions with hard objects.

[0030] Two sets of baffles 8 are evenly provided with through holes, and the through holes are arranged in a strip structure. The through holes evenly cover the surface of the baffles 8 to ensure that the liquid passes through evenly and prevent local blockage or uneven pressure.

[0031] A rubber block is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing block 9, and the rubber block is movably engaged with the glaze-immersion tank 1. The glaze-immersion tank 1 has a groove that matches the rubber block. A handle is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing block 9. The rubber material has good flexibility and compressibility, which can tightly fit the groove of the glaze-immersion tank 1 to form a dynamic seal, effectively preventing glaze leakage or evaporation. The rubber block can compensate for minor tolerances or surface unevenness between the sealing block 9 and the groove, ensuring that the sealing effect is maintained after long-term use. The cooperation between the rubber block and the groove achieves precise alignment, and the sealing block 9 can be quickly inserted or pulled out without additional tools or complicated operations. The handle on the right side of the sealing block 9 provides a force point, making it easy for operators (especially when wearing gloves) to pull or push the sealing block 9, reducing labor intensity. The tight cooperation between the rubber block and the groove prevents the sealing block 9 from accidentally slipping off during use, ensuring that the glaze-immersion tank 1 remains closed when vibrating or tilting. The friction of the rubber block surface enhances the stability of the sealing block 9 and avoids slipping due to wetness or glaze adhesion.

[0032] Working principle: Place the ceramic workpiece in the placement frame 6, inject glaze into the glazing tank 1, and then open the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 drives the placement frame 6 to move downward, so that the placement frame 6 is immersed in the glazing tank 1, and the ceramic workpiece inside the placement frame 6 can be glazed. After completion, the cylinder 3 drives the placement frame 6 to rise, and the movable block 5 removes the placement frame 6.

[0033] 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.
