Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, specifically to a clay rod cutting device for ceramic bowl production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of ceramic bowls, it is often necessary to cut continuously extruded rod-shaped ceramic clay (i.e., clay rods) into blocks of a set length for subsequent bowl shaping. Current technologies commonly employ single-sided conveying combined with a rotary cutter, or multi-blade asynchronous cutting, to cut the clay rods into fixed-length blocks. However, these traditional structures generally suffer from the following drawbacks:

[0003] Most existing conveying structures use flat conveyor belts or single-sided conveying methods, which lack effective clamping and guidance for the mud rods. The mud rods are prone to shaking and displacement during operation, resulting in offset cutting positions or uneven cutting, which in turn affects the dimensional stability of the product and the quality of subsequent processing.

[0004] In addition, due to inaccurate cutting control and unstable structure, the cut mud rods often have uneven cut surfaces, resulting in problems such as tearing and burrs, which affect the quality of subsequent pressing and molding and the consistency of the finished product appearance.

[0005] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing problems and provided a clay rod cutting device for ceramic bowl production to solve the current problems. The aim of this technology is to solve the problems and improve its practical value. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a clay rod cutting device for ceramic bowl production, which has a compact structure, stable operation, and can efficiently and accurately cut ceramic clay rods into blocks.

[0007] The device mainly includes a conveying assembly, an output conveyor belt, and a cutting assembly.

[0008] 1. Conveying components and output conveyor belt:

[0009] The conveying assembly and the output conveyor belt are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the cutting assembly to complete the input conveying of the mud rod material and the output conveying after cutting. Both have the same structure, consisting of two conveyor belts arranged symmetrically in a V-shape. The V-shaped structure can clamp the rod-shaped mud material during the conveying process, effectively preventing lateral swaying and deviation, and improving feeding accuracy and cutting stability.

[0010] The conveyor assembly is responsible for steadily feeding the continuously formed clay rods into the cutting area; the output conveyor belt is responsible for outputting the cut clay blocks for subsequent processing.

[0011] 2. Cutting components:

[0012] The cutting assembly is located in the middle of the conveying path and is a key structural part of the entire device. It mainly consists of a fixed base, drive teeth, a synchronization ring, and several cutting blades.

[0013] The mounting base serves as the installation carrier, and all cutting structures are mounted on this component. Its shape is preferably square to facilitate layout and fixation. A drive motor is installed on the lower surface of the mounting base, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the drive gear to provide rotational power for the cutting mechanism. A guide cover is connected to one side of the mounting base to close the cutting blade's movement space and prevent foreign objects from entering. At the same time, an arc-shaped guide groove is provided on its inner surface to guide and restrict the rotation of the synchronization ring.

[0014] The drive gear is mounted on the surface of the fixed base and rotates via a drive motor. The synchronizing ring has an annular structure with external toothed lobes on its outer circumference that mesh with the drive gear for transmission. Several internal toothed lobes are evenly arranged along the circumference of the inner side of the synchronizing ring. A sliding pin is connected to the outer side of the synchronizing ring, which is slidably mounted in the arc-shaped guide groove of the guide cover to ensure that the synchronizing ring rotates smoothly along a preset trajectory. When the drive gear rotates, it drives the synchronizing ring to rotate synchronously through meshing.

[0015] Multiple cutter blades are evenly distributed and installed between the fixed base and the guide cover; each cutter blade can deflect around its own axis and has a blade with a cutting edge at its end; the cutter blade is provided with a transmission tooth, which meshes with the inner tooth on the inner side of the synchronization ring; during the rotation of the synchronization ring, the inner tooth drives the transmission tooth to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous deflection of each cutter blade.

[0016] 3. Cutting process control:

[0017] When the conveying assembly pushes the mud rod to the center of the cutting assembly, the drive motor starts, driving the drive teeth to rotate. This rotation, through meshing, drives the synchronous ring to deflect, thus achieving synchronized cutting action with all cutting blades at a uniform angle and rhythm. The cut mud blocks are then output by the output conveyor belt, completing the block cutting process.

[0018] In addition, to ensure a compact structure and stable movement, the device is designed with the following auxiliary structures: the synchronizing ring has several through holes for installing the cutter shaft and positioning components; the guide cover guide structure cooperates with the synchronizing ring sliding pin to improve the smoothness of the synchronizing ring rotation; the cutter deflection action is fully realized through the gear structure, without the need for an electronically controlled actuator, resulting in a simple structure and high reliability.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, the synchronous ring and the gear linkage structure of multiple cutting blades are used to realize the synchronous deflection and cutting action of all cutting blades. The synchronous deflection and cutting action of all cutting blades ensures that the cutting angle, depth and timing are consistent each time, so as to achieve complete separation of the cut block and thus make the cut surface smoother.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, a V-shaped symmetrical conveying structure is adopted, and the mud rod material is guided and stably conveyed by two clamping conveyor belts, which avoids problems such as shaking and deviation of the mud rod material during the conveying process, and greatly improves the accuracy and consistency of cutting.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0030] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This invention describes a clay rod cutting device for ceramic bowl production, based on some embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] This utility model provides a clay rod cutting device for ceramic bowl production, including a conveying component 100, an output conveyor belt 110, and a cutting component 200.

[0034] The conveying component 100 and the output conveyor belt 110 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cutting component 200, and are used for the input of mud rod material and the output after cutting, respectively. Both adopt a V-shaped symmetrical arrangement of double conveyor belt structure, which can realize clamping conveying of mud rod material, improve its stability and accuracy during movement, prevent deviation or shaking, and facilitate subsequent precise cutting.

[0035] The cutting assembly 200 includes: a fixed base 210, a drive tooth 220, a synchronization ring 230, and several cutting blades 240.

[0036] The drive gear 220 is rotatably mounted on the front surface of the fixed base 210. The bottom of the fixed base 210 is provided with a drive motor for driving the drive gear 220 to rotate, and a guide cover 211 for sealing and guiding is provided on one side of the fixed base 210. The structure of the guide cover 211 can both seal the cutting blade rotation space to prevent foreign objects from entering and facilitate gear movement alignment.

[0037] The synchronizing ring 230 has an annular structure, with outer toothed lobes 232 on its outer periphery for transmission engagement with the drive teeth 220; the inner side of the synchronizing ring 230 has multiple inner toothed lobes 231, which respectively engage with the transmission toothed lobes 241 on several cutter lobes 240, thereby realizing power transmission.

[0038] The cutting blade 240 adopts a blade-like structure, which is installed between the fixed base 210 and the guide cover 211. It can rotate around its own axis and has a cutting edge at its leading edge. It cuts the mud rod material through deflection. The cutting blade 240 engages with the inner toothed blade 231 on the inner side of the synchronization ring 230 through the transmission toothed blade 241. Under the drive of the synchronization ring 230, it achieves synchronous deflection, thereby completing multi-point synchronous cutting with a uniform angle and depth, improving cutting accuracy and efficiency.

[0039] Preferably, the inner surface of the guide cover 211 is further provided with several arc-shaped grooves, and the synchronizing ring 230 is provided with a sliding pin, which is slidably connected in the aforementioned arc-shaped grooves to ensure the guidance and stability of the synchronizing ring 230 during rotation. In addition, the synchronizing ring 230 is provided with several mounting through holes to facilitate the positioning and installation of the cutter blade 240.

[0040] This utility model has a compact structure and can realize the synchronous action of multiple cutters through a single drive gear, avoiding the complexity and failure points caused by independent control of multiple axes. It is suitable for the high-speed and stable processing requirements of ceramic bowl clay rod segment production.

[0041] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0042] This invention achieves stable conveying and efficient cutting of ceramic clay rods through a symmetrical V-shaped conveying structure and a synchronous linkage cutting structure. Its core principles include the following aspects:

[0043] By using two V-shaped conveying components 100 and an output conveyor belt 110 arranged on both sides of the cutting component, the rod-shaped mud rod is clamped and supported during the conveying process to prevent deviation and slippage, thus ensuring the accuracy and continuity of the cutting.

[0044] The drive tooth 220 in the cutting assembly 200 is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn drives the entire synchronization ring to rotate via the outer tooth 232 of the synchronization ring 230. The inner tooth 231 on the inner side of the synchronization ring meshes with the transmission tooth 241 on multiple cutter blades 240. During the rotation of the synchronization ring, the cutter blades deflect around their respective axes and use their cutting edges to cut the mud rod material. All cutter blades achieve synchronous deflection and cutting action under the drive of the synchronization ring, thereby ensuring that the cutting angle and depth are consistent each time, and the shape of the cut blocks is standardized and uniform.

[0045] The guide cover 211 not only serves as a structural seal, but also has an arc-shaped guide groove on its inner surface. The synchronous ring 230 is slidably connected to the guide groove through a sliding pin structure, which effectively restricts its movement trajectory and ensures the stability and smoothness of the transmission process.
