Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile production technology, specifically a turning device for ceramic tile production. Background Technology
[0002] A tile turning device is an industrial piece of equipment mainly used in the tile manufacturing process to turn or flip tiles or tile blanks. Its function is to facilitate the handling and processing of tiles in different production stages, ensuring that both sides of the tile are treated evenly.
[0003] To achieve the above functions, a prior art Chinese patent (publication number: CN211140702U) discloses a turning device for production, relating to the field of ceramic tile production technology. It includes a first support plate, a first fixed plate, and an electric push rod. Second support plates are fixed to opposite sides of the first support plate, a third support plate is fixed to one surface of the second support plate, a fourth support plate is fixed to the other surface of the third support plate, and a first support plate is fixed to one surface of the fourth support plate. This invention uses a first motor to drive a first conveyor belt to transport ceramic tiles. A pressure sensor and a PLC controller are used to control the electric push rod, causing it to rotate the first fixed plate. This, in conjunction with the second fixed plate, turns the ceramic tiles over. A second motor drives a second conveyor belt to complete the transport of the turned ceramic tiles. This results in smaller errors in the turning process and higher efficiency, while reducing labor requirements and consumption. This allows ceramic tile production to better meet actual needs and improves production efficiency.
[0004] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation: specifically, the turnover action of the turning device used in tile production is not continuous, and it cannot achieve stable and high-speed continuous turnover operation, which leads to a significant reduction in the efficiency of the entire production process and affects the overall operating speed and capacity of the production line. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a turning device for tile production, so as to solve the problem that the turning action of the turning device for tile production is not continuous and cannot achieve stable and high-speed continuous turning operation in the above-mentioned background art.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides the following technical solution: a turning device for ceramic tile production, comprising a support frame 1, with symmetrically distributed support rods 2 fixedly connected to the top center of the support frame 1 on both sides, and a control module installed in the middle of the support frame 1; a drive shaft 3 is rotatably connected between the two support rods 2, and a ring-shaped rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 3, the rotating rod 5 being U-shaped, and a pressing button 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the rotating rod 5 closest to the drive shaft 3; the rotating rod 5 has a three-layer structure distributed along the axial direction of the drive shaft 3 on the outside of the drive shaft 3, and both ends of the drive shaft 3 are provided with mounting grooves 4, and both ends of the drive shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two support rods 2 through the mounting grooves 4; a connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 3, and symmetrically distributed stops are fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame 1. Plate 8; A servo motor 9 is slidably connected in the middle of the baffle 8, and the output end of the servo motor 9 extends inward to the baffle 8, and the output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to the connecting block 7 for transmission; symmetrically distributed mounting brackets 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support frame 1, and driven wheels 11 and driving wheels 12 are rotatably connected to the top ends of each mounting bracket 10, and a pulley is fixedly connected between the two driving wheels 12; the driven wheel 11 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 10 close to the drive shaft 3, and the driven wheel 11 and the flipping rod 5 located outside the drive shaft 3 are staggered, and the driven wheel 11 and the flipping rod 5 do not interfere with each other; a belt 13 is sleeved on the outside of the driven wheel 11 and the driving wheel 12, and equidistantly distributed support rollers 14 are rotatably connected to the top of the mounting bracket 10, and the inner sides of the upper surfaces of the support rollers 14 and the belt 13 are in contact with each other.
[0026] The flipping device provides structural stability through the support frame 1. Symmetrical support rods 2 are vertically fixed on both sides of the top of the frame, jointly bearing the rotational movement of the drive shaft 3. The drive shaft 3 and the support rods 2 are rotatably connected, allowing it to rotate freely within the support rod bearings. The U-shaped flipping rods 5 installed on the outside of the drive shaft 3 are distributed in a ring at equal intervals. When the drive shaft 3 rotates, all the flipping rods 5 rotate synchronously. The U-shaped structure design of the flipping rods 5 allows them to precisely engage with the edge of the tile, and the downward pressure button 6 on its inner side applies vertical downward pressure to the tile when it contacts it, controlling the rotation of the flipping rods 5.
[0027] The drive shaft 3 is equipped with three layers of tilting rods 5 along its axial direction, which can process multiple rows of tiles simultaneously, significantly improving production efficiency. The mounting slots 4 at both ends of the drive shaft 3 are fitted with the bearings at the upper end of the support rod 2, achieving low-friction rotation through interference fit. One end of the drive shaft 3 is connected to the fixed connecting block 7 via a key for power input. Baffles 8 are symmetrically welded to both sides of the support frame 1, serving two purposes: first, to constrain the position of the tiles to prevent displacement; and second, to provide a sliding track for the servo motor 9. When the servo motor 9 starts, the output shaft drives the connecting block 7 through the coupling, thereby driving the drive shaft 3 to rotate at a set angle, so that the tilting rods 5 complete the cycle of gripping, lifting, tilting, and resetting.
[0028] The servo motor 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail of the baffle 8 via a bottom slider, facilitating motor position adjustment to accommodate drive shafts of different lengths. The mounting bracket 10 is fixed to both sides of the top of the support frame 1. The driven wheels 11 at both ends and the drive wheels 12 constitute a tile conveying unit. When external power drives the drive wheels 12, the belt 13 forms an annular conveying surface under the guidance of the driven wheels 11. Support rollers 14 are evenly distributed on the top of the mounting bracket 10, their roller surfaces tightly fitting the inner surface of the belt 13. Multi-point support prevents the belt 13 from sinking when carrying tiles. The driven wheel 11 is located on the side of the mounting frame 10 near the drive shaft 3, and is arranged in a spatially staggered manner with the flipping rod 5. When the belt 13 conveys the tile to the flipping station, the rotating flipping rod 5 passes through the gap between the adjacent support rollers 14, and its U-shaped opening just supports the bottom surface of the tile. At this time, the lower button 6 is subjected to the pressure of the tile, and the drive shaft 3 rotates 180° to achieve stable flipping. After the flipping is completed, the tile is placed back on the continuously running belt 13 to enter the next process. Throughout the entire process, the flipping rod 5 has no mechanical interference with the driven wheel 11 and the belt 13.
