Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Equipment for drying residual water on the surface of cleaned ceramic tiles typically employs a continuous roller drying box (or tunnel drying box). The core process involves placing the wet ceramic tiles, still retaining surface moisture, onto a conveyor line composed of high-temperature resistant metal rollers. The tiles are fed at a uniform speed into a sealed drying chamber. High-efficiency heating elements (such as electric heating tubes, gas radiant tubes, or hot air circulation systems) are arranged along the length of the chamber to evenly heat the tiles. Simultaneously, a ventilation and dehumidification system promptly removes the hot, humid air generated by the evaporation of moisture from the tile surface. This process aims to quickly and stably evaporate the free water adhering to the surface of the cleaned tiles, bringing them to a suitable dry state for storage or subsequent processing steps (such as glazing, printing, and firing), preventing moisture from affecting the quality of subsequent processes or causing mold growth during storage.

[0003] Existing drying equipment for ceramic tile production places the cleaned ceramic tiles on the top of a roller conveyor, which then transports them into a drying chamber equipped with heating elements. The surface moisture is evaporated by heating, thus drying the ceramic tiles for subsequent storage or other processing steps. However, a lot of moisture remains on the surface of the cleaned ceramic tiles, requiring the heating elements to take a long time to dry them, increasing energy costs. Furthermore, the excessive moisture means that more energy is used for heating rather than effective drying, reducing the overall drying efficiency of the ceramic tiles. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a drying device for ceramic tile production. Before the ceramic tiles enter the drying unit, most of the water remaining on their surface is brushed off. Furthermore, it can brush off and dry residual moisture from ceramic tiles of different thicknesses, thereby accelerating the drying speed, improving drying efficiency, and enhancing the flexibility of the drying equipment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying equipment for ceramic tile production, including a roller conveyor, with drying chambers respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the roller conveyor. Each drying chamber contains multiple heating rods, which are evenly distributed inside each drying chamber. A fixed brush plate is arranged on the left side inside the roller conveyor, and a connecting plate is arranged on the upper left side of the roller conveyor. Multiple sliding guide columns are slidably arranged inside the connecting plate, and a movable brush plate is arranged between the lower ends of the multiple sliding guide columns. A moving drive mechanism for driving the movable brush plate to move up and down is arranged inside the connecting plate. The drive mechanism includes a strip-shaped cavity frame arranged inside the connecting plate, a strip-shaped sliding frame slidably arranged inside the strip-shaped cavity frame, the lower end of the strip-shaped sliding frame being connected to the upper end of the movable brush plate, and a screw threadedly connected to the strip-shaped sliding frame being rotatably arranged inside the strip-shaped cavity frame. A drive unit for driving the screw to rotate is arranged at the upper end of the strip-shaped cavity frame. The drive unit includes a motor arranged at the upper end of the strip-shaped cavity frame, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the upper end of the screw through a coupling.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper end of the drying oven is provided with multiple exhaust ports, which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a support frame is provided at the lower end of the roller conveyor. The roller conveyor and the support frame are fixed together by welding. The support frame has multiple mounting holes for installation and fixing inside.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a collection box is provided on the lower left side of the roller conveyor. The roller conveyor and the collection box are fixed together by welding. A drain pipe is provided at the lower end of the collection box, and the drain pipe is connected to the inside of the collection box.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] Firstly, a roller conveyor transports ceramic bricks between a fixed brush plate and a moving brush plate. Then, personnel manually push the roller conveyor to push the ceramic bricks out from the fixed and moving brush plates, while simultaneously brushing off the residual water on both sides of the ceramic bricks, thus accelerating the drying speed and improving drying efficiency.

[0011] Secondly, by controlling the start of the motor, the sliding frame moves the moving brush plate up and down under the constraint of the sliding guide column. By adjusting the distance between the moving brush plate and the fixed brush plate, residual moisture in ceramic tiles of different thicknesses can be brushed off and dried, greatly improving the flexibility of the drying equipment.

[0012] Thirdly, the water brushed down by the fixed and movable brush plates can fall into the collection tank and be discharged into the external water circulation equipment through the drain pipe, where it can be recycled, filtered, and reused, thus practicing the concept of conservation.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0020] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, a drying device for ceramic tile production includes a roller conveyor 101. Drying chambers 201 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the roller conveyor 101. Multiple exhaust ports 202 are opened at the upper end of each drying chamber 201. Multiple heating rods 203 are arranged inside each drying chamber 201 at equal intervals. A fixed brush plate 306 is arranged on the left side inside the roller conveyor 101, and a connecting plate 30 is arranged on the left side of the upper end of the roller conveyor 101. 1. Multiple sliding guide columns 302 are slidably arranged inside the connecting plate 301. A movable brush plate 305 is arranged between the lower ends of the multiple sliding guide columns 302. A moving drive mechanism for driving the movable brush plate 305 to move up and down is arranged inside the connecting plate 301. A support frame 102 is arranged at the lower end of the roller conveyor 101. Multiple mounting holes for installation and fixing are opened inside the support frame 102. The drying equipment can be fixed in a suitable working position by bolts through the mounting holes inside the support frame 102.

[0021] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the driving mechanism includes a strip-shaped cavity frame 308 disposed inside the connecting plate 301. A strip-shaped sliding frame 309 is slidably disposed inside the strip-shaped cavity frame 308. The lower end of the strip-shaped sliding frame 309 is connected to the upper end of the movable brush plate 305. A lead screw 310 is rotatably disposed inside the strip-shaped cavity frame 308 and threadedly connected to the strip-shaped sliding frame 309. A driving unit for driving the lead screw 310 to rotate is disposed at the upper end of the strip-shaped cavity frame 308. The driving unit includes a motor 303 disposed at the upper end of the strip-shaped cavity frame 308. The output shaft of the motor 303 is connected to the upper end of the lead screw 310 through a coupling.

[0022] First, the heating rod 203 is turned on by control. After the drying chamber 201 is preheated (the heating and drying temperature is 100-120℃, which can be measured by an external temperature measuring device), the roller conveyor 101 is turned on by control. Then, the cleaned ceramic bricks are placed at the left end of the roller conveyor 101. The roller conveyor 101 transports the ceramic bricks between the fixed brush plate 306 and the moving brush plate 305. Then, the personnel push the auxiliary roller conveyor 101 to push the ceramic bricks out from the fixed brush plate 306 and the moving brush plate 305, while brushing off the water remaining on the top and bottom surfaces of the ceramic bricks. The ceramic bricks continue to be transported to the interior of the drying chamber 201 by the roller conveyor 101. The heat generated by the heating rods 203 on both sides is used to dry the top and bottom surfaces of the ceramic bricks. The water vapor produced during drying is discharged through the exhaust port 202 to prevent water vapor from accumulating inside the drying chamber 201 and causing unsatisfactory drying results.

[0023] When it is necessary to dry ceramic tiles of different thicknesses, the motor 303 is turned on and the output shaft drives the lead screw 310 to rotate. This causes the strip sliding frame 309 to move the moving brush plate 305 up and down under the constraint of the strip cavity frame 308 and the sliding guide column 302. By adjusting the distance between the moving brush plate 305 and the fixed brush plate 306, it is possible to adapt to the brushing and drying of ceramic tiles of different thicknesses.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a collection box 304 is provided on the lower left side of the roller conveyor 101. A drain pipe 307 is provided at the lower end of the collection box 304. The drain pipe 307 is connected to the inside of the collection box 304. Water brushed down by the fixed brush plate 306 and the movable brush plate 305 can fall into the inside of the collection box 304 and be discharged into the external water circulation equipment through the drain pipe 307 for recycling, filtration and reuse.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
