Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, and in particular to a ceramic blank preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic throwing is an important process in ceramic production, involving multiple aspects of ceramic art and manufacturing technology. Through throwing, artisans can shape clay into objects of various shapes and sizes, thus enabling the diversification and personalization of ceramic products. This process not only requires artisans to have superb manual skills, but also a deep understanding and mastery of the properties of clay, moisture content, and the operating principles of the throwing machine.

[0003] In the actual use of traditional pottery throwing machines, a large amount of mud and waste is generated during the throwing process. When too much waste accumulates in the water basin, the basin needs to be cleaned. In order to clean the waste in the water basin, the workers have to perform a series of tedious operations, including disassembling the water basin. Moreover, when the mud in the water basin solidifies, it will stick tightly to the surface of the water basin, making the cleaning work extremely difficult. This difficulty not only increases the workload of the workers, but also greatly delays the normal use of the pottery throwing machine and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the waste in the water basin of the potter's wheel is not easy to clean in the existing technology. To address this, we propose a ceramic blank preparation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a ceramic blank preparation device, including a shell, a driving device installed inside the shell, a turntable installed on the top of the driving device, a water basin fixedly connected to the top of the shell, a drain outlet opened at the bottom of the water basin, a plug inserted into the inner wall of the drain outlet, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the middle of the water basin, and a scraper fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft.

[0006] Preferably, a flexible conduit is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water basin, and one end of the flexible conduit is connected to the inner wall of the drain outlet.

[0007] Preferably, an inclined guide plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the turntable, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the water basin.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the turntable is provided with a plurality of circular patterns, and the spacing between each circular pattern is one centimeter.

[0009] Preferably, T-shaped plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer shell, and a protective plate is provided on one side of the outer shell. T-shaped grooves are provided at both ends of the protective plate, and the inner wall of the T-shaped groove is inserted into the surface of the T-shaped plate.

[0010] Preferably, an arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate near the outer shell.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the worker pulls the plug out of the drain outlet, and then a scraper fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft rotates around the shaft, closely adhering to the inner wall of the basin. This scrapes away the unfinished material adhering to the inner wall of the basin, and drives the debris and muddy water to the drain outlet for discharge. This allows the worker to clean the unfinished waste material that has accumulated on the basin over time, preventing it from solidifying and causing pollution on the surface of the basin, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the basin for subsequent use.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a ceramic blank preparation device, including a shell 1, a drive device 2 installed inside the shell 1, a turntable 3 installed on the top of the drive device 2, a water basin 4 fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, a drain port 5 opened at the bottom of the water basin 4, a plug 6 inserted into the inner wall of the drain port 5, a rotating shaft 7 rotatably connected to the middle of the water basin 4, and a scraper 8 fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft 7. When the worker pulls the plug 6 out of the drain port 5, the scraper 8 fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 7 can rotate around the rotating shaft 7, closely adhering to the inner wall of the water basin 4, scraping off the blanks attached to the inner wall of the water basin 4, and driving the debris and muddy water to flow to the drain port 5 for discharge. This allows the worker to clean the blank waste that has accumulated on the water basin 4 over a long period of use, preventing the blank waste from solidifying on the surface of the water basin 4 and causing pollution, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the water basin 4 for subsequent use.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: a flexible conduit 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water basin 4. One end of the flexible conduit 9 is connected to the inner wall of the drain outlet 5. When the water and dirt enter the flexible conduit 9 through the drain outlet 5, the flexible conduit 9 can bend freely to guide the dirt water flow, so that the dirt water flow can follow the flexible conduit 9 to any place, making it convenient for staff to collect the water impurities discharged from the flexible conduit 9.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: an inclined guide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the turntable 3, and a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the water basin 4. Through the inclined guide plate 10, water and impurities dripping from the surface of the water basin 4 can be guided into the interior of the turntable 3. Then, through the extension of the baffle 11 to the top of the turntable 3, the splashing generated when dirt and water come into contact with the interior of the turntable 3 is blocked, preventing impurities from the blank from falling into the turntable 3 and causing splashing that pollutes the surrounding environment.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment: the surface of the turntable 3 is provided with a number of circular patterns 12, and the spacing between each circular pattern 12 is one centimeter. By setting the spacing between the circular patterns 12 to one centimeter, when the worker uses the water basin 4 to throw the pottery, he can control the throwing size according to the spacing between the circular patterns 12. Furthermore, the circular pattern 12 is designed to gradually spread outward, making it easier for the worker to accurately place the center point of the pottery when throwing it.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: T-shaped plates 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer shell 1, and a protective plate 14 is provided on one side of the outer shell 1. T-shaped grooves 15 are opened at both ends of the protective plate 14. The inner wall of the T-shaped groove 15 is inserted into the surface of the T-shaped plate 13. The worker inserts the T-shaped groove 15 into the surface of the T-shaped plate 13, so that the protective plate 14 is fixed to one side of the outer shell 1. By placing the protective plate 14 in front of the user when throwing the pottery, it shields and protects the raw materials and wastewater generated during the throwing process, preventing wastewater from splashing and polluting the surrounding environment.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: an arc-shaped plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate 14 near the outer shell 1. By setting the arc-shaped plate 16, dirt and water splashed on the surface of the protective plate 14 can fall down the protective plate 14 to the bottom and enter one side of the arc-shaped plate 16, so that the arc-shaped plate 16 can collect dirt and water, making it difficult for workers to clean the dirt. At the same time, when the protective plate 14 is dirty, when the workers wash the protective plate 14 with water, the water flow can enter the arc-shaped plate 16 for accumulation, preventing water from dripping and polluting the ground when the protective plate 14 is washed and wiped.

[0025] Working principle: The worker pulls the plug 6 out of the drain outlet 5. Then, the scraper 8, fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 7, rotates around the shaft 7, adhering tightly to the inner wall of the basin 4. This scrapes away the unfinished material adhering to the inner wall of the basin 4, causing debris and muddy water to flow towards the drain outlet 5. This allows workers to clean the basin 4 of unfinished waste material accumulated over time, preventing it from solidifying and causing contamination. This ensures the cleanliness of the basin 4 for future use. When the water flows through the drain outlet... 5. The water enters the flexible conduit 9, and the flexible conduit 9 guides the flow of dirty water through its free bending, allowing the dirty water to flow to any location along with the flexible conduit 9. This facilitates the collection of impurities from the water discharged by the flexible conduit 9. The inclined guide plate 10 guides the water and impurities dripping from the surface of the water basin 4 into the turntable 3. The baffle 11 extends to the top of the turntable 3, blocking the splashing caused by the dirt and water coming into contact with the turntable 3, preventing impurities from falling onto the turntable 3. The internal splashing can pollute the surrounding environment. The spacing between the circular patterns 12 is one centimeter, allowing workers to control the throwing size based on the distance between the patterns 12 when using the water basin 4 for throwing. The gradually expanding circular pattern 12 design also makes it easier for workers to accurately center the throwing. By inserting the T-slot 15 into the surface of the T-plate 13, the protective plate 14 is fixed to one side of the outer shell 1. Positioned in front of the user during throwing, the protective plate 14 protects against the raw materials and contaminants generated during the throwing process. Water splashes are shielded and protected to prevent sewage from splashing and polluting the surrounding environment. By setting up the arc-shaped plate 16, dirt and water splashed on the surface of the protective plate 14 can fall down the protective plate 14 and enter one side of the arc-shaped plate 16 when they reach the bottom. This allows the arc-shaped plate 16 to collect dirt and water, making it difficult for workers to clean the dirt. At the same time, when the protective plate 14 is dirty, when workers wash the protective plate 14, the water flow can enter the arc-shaped plate 16 and accumulate, preventing water from dripping and polluting the ground when the protective plate 14 is washed and wiped.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
