Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In ceramic processing, glaze is a thin, glassy layer covering the surface of the ceramic body. Its main function is to improve the surface properties of ceramic products, such as gloss, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It also gives ceramics rich colors and decorative effects. The proportioning of glaze is a key step in ceramic production, as it directly determines the composition of the glaze and thus affects the final quality and appearance of the ceramic products. Only through precise proportioning can the glaze achieve the expected performance and decorative effect after firing, meeting the production needs of different ceramic products.

[0003] Traditional glaze proportioning relies heavily on manual operation, with operators weighing and mixing different raw materials based on experience. This method has drawbacks. On the one hand, manual weighing makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the raw material proportions, and human error can easily lead to fluctuations in the glaze composition, affecting the stability of ceramic product quality. On the other hand, manual mixing is inefficient and results in poor mixing uniformity. Some raw materials may not be fully integrated, leading to defects such as pinholes, bubbles, and color differences during firing. This not only increases the defect rate but also raises production costs. To address these issues, we have proposed a glaze proportioning device for ceramic processing. Utility Model Content

[0050] Working principle: In the support and positioning stage, the device uses a support frame 1 as the basic frame, with four centrally symmetrical support legs on its outer side. Four centrally symmetrical threaded columns 2 are installed at the bottom, forming a stable support system. A support ring 3 is slidably fitted onto each threaded column 2. The height of the support ring 3 can be adjusted by rotating the lifting and fixing component 4 at the bottom of the threaded column 2, thereby fixing the mixing cylinder 5 placed on top. The bottom of the mixing cylinder 5 is engaged in the annular locking groove at the top of the threaded column 2, and the top penetrates the support frame 1, ensuring stable operation during mixing. Maintaining vertical stability, the five centrally symmetrical support columns 6 at the top of the support frame 1 extend upwards, their tops passing through the five centrally symmetrical partitions 16 at the bottom of the mixing frame 11 and fixed with bolts, suspending the mixing frame 11 directly above the mixing cylinder 5, forming a vertically aligned working space. The top outer side of the mixing frame 11 is secured by five centrally symmetrical positioning cylinders that engage with the collars on the fixing ring 17, fixing multiple annularly arranged storage cylinders 12. The bottom of each storage cylinder 12 is connected to a corresponding conveying pipe 14, which is inclined towards the mixing cylinder 5. The materials converge at the center of the bottom of the mixing rack 11, with the end pointing towards the inside of the mixing cylinder 5. When raw materials need to be added, the flow control valve 13 on the corresponding conveying pipe 14 is opened. Different types of glaze raw materials flow quantitatively from the storage cylinder 12 into the mixing cylinder 5 through the conveying pipe 14. By individually controlling the opening and closing degree and time of each flow control valve 13, the proportion of various raw materials can be adjusted. The stirring and mixing process is completed by the stirring mechanism at the bottom of the mixing rack 11. The servo motor 7 is installed in the mounting cylinder 18 at the top of the mixing rack 11, and its output shaft passes through the bottom end of the mixing rack 11. The through-tube 15 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 9 via the connector 8. The stirring shaft 9 extends vertically into the mixing tube 5. The stirring paddle 10 mounted on the bottom cylindrical surface rotates with the shaft. After the servo motor 7 is started, the stirring shaft 9 drives the stirring paddle 10 to rotate at a set speed, which fully stirs the various glaze raw materials in the mixing tube 5. Since the stirring paddle 10 is completely inside the mixing tube 5, and the servo motor 7 can precisely control the rotation direction and speed, it can ensure that raw materials of different proportions are mixed evenly in a short time, and finally form a glaze that meets the process requirements.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
