Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic glaze production, and in particular to a ceramic glaze drying production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of ceramic glazes, drying, ball milling, and air classification are key processes affecting product quality and production efficiency. Traditional production lines typically use single-pass dryers, which have low thermal efficiency, high energy consumption, and uneven moisture content in the dried material, leading to unstable grinding effects in the subsequent ball milling process. Furthermore, existing technologies often rely on manual transfer or simple conveying equipment for the connection between drying and ball milling processes, resulting in low automation and dust pollution and raw material waste. The grading and screening process after ball milling also often uses single air classification or sieving methods, making it difficult to achieve fine grading and affecting the uniformity and quality stability of the finished glaze. Although some automated production lines exist on the market, their equipment layout is loose, their thermal energy utilization is insufficient, and they lack efficient dust collection systems, failing to meet the demands of modern ceramic production for energy conservation, environmental protection, and continuous operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a ceramic glaze drying production line that integrates multi-pass drying, automatic transfer, efficient grinding, and precise grading functions to solve the problems of high energy consumption, significant dust pollution, and unstable product quality in existing technologies.

[0040] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 A ceramic glaze drying production line is described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a ceramic glaze drying production line includes a feeding device, a drying device, a dry material transfer device, a ball mill, and an air classifier connected in sequence. These functional devices work closely together to form a complete continuous production system. The feeding device consists of a raw material feeder 170 and a raw material conveyor belt 180. The raw material feeder 170 precisely measures and transports the material to the raw material conveyor belt 180, which then evenly feeds it into the inlet of the three-pass rotary dryer 100. This structural design ensures the stability of the feeding process during drying, avoids errors and material spillage caused by manual feeding, and provides a reliable guarantee for subsequent uniform drying.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying device is an integrated system of a three-pass rotary dryer 100 and supporting heat source and dust removal equipment. A natural gas burner 190 serves as the heat source, with its hot air outlet connected to the three-pass rotary dryer 100, providing efficient and clean thermal energy. The three-pass rotary dryer 100 employs a multi-pass drying process, allowing the material to experience different temperature gradients during drying, significantly improving thermal energy utilization and ensuring uniform moisture content. The exhaust gas generated during the drying process is treated by a stainless steel dust collector 200. This dust collector has a cyclone collection bucket 210 at its front end, which can pre-remove most of the large dust particles, reducing the subsequent dust removal load. The stainless steel dust collector 200 efficiently collects fine particulate matter from the exhaust gas, preventing environmental pollution. Simultaneously, the recovered dust can be reused, reducing raw material loss.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dry material transfer device includes a dry material elevator 110 and a dry material transfer storage tank 120. The dry material elevator 110 transports the dried material from the discharge port of the three-pass rotary dryer 100 to the transfer storage tank for temporary storage. The discharge port of the storage tank is equipped with two feeding hoppers 220, and the feed end of the ball mill feed belt 130 is connected to these two feeding hoppers 220. The dual feeding hopper 220 design realizes flexible material distribution and continuous feeding, avoiding uneven feeding or blockage of the ball mill 140 caused by single-point feeding, and ensuring the stable operation of the ball mill process.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ball mill unit consists of a ball mill feed belt 130, a ball mill 140, a screw conveyor 240, and a ball mill dust collector 230. The ball mill feed belt 130 picks up material from the feeding hopper 220 of the transfer storage tank and feeds it evenly into the ball mill 140 for grinding. Dust generated during the ball milling process is collected by the ball mill dust collector 230, effectively improving the air quality in the workshop. The ground material is then conveyed in a closed system to the air classification process via the screw conveyor 240 to prevent dust generation and secondary pollution.

[0045] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the air classification device includes an air-classifying material elevator 250, an air classifier 150, and a finished product material elevator 260. The material output from the screw conveyor 240 is fed into the air classifier 150 via the air-classifying material elevator 250 for fine classification. The classified finished glaze is then transported to the finished product tank 160 for storage by the finished product material elevator 260. This process achieves automated classification and conveying of the ground material, ensuring the uniformity and quality stability of the finished glaze.

[0046] The overall working process is as follows: Raw materials are quantitatively conveyed to the three-pass rotary dryer 100 for multi-pass drying via a feeding device. The dried material is temporarily stored by a dry material transfer device and then distributed to a ball mill for grinding. The ground product is graded by an air classifier to obtain the finished glaze. The entire production line adopts a closed design and automated control, with seamless integration of each process, forming a highly efficient and continuous ceramic glaze production process. Through the integrated design of multi-pass drying, automatic transfer, efficient grinding, and precise grading, this invention achieves energy saving, environmental control, and quality improvement in ceramic glaze production. The combination of the three-pass rotary dryer 100 and the natural gas burner 190 significantly improves thermal energy utilization. The dual-feeding hopper 220 design of the dry material transfer device ensures the stability of the ball milling process. The closed conveying and efficient dust removal system effectively suppresses dust pollution, and the refined grading of the air classifier greatly improves the uniformity of the finished glaze. The entire production line has a compact layout and a high degree of automation, which not only reduces energy consumption and labor costs but also meets the core needs of the modern ceramic industry for continuous and environmentally friendly production.

In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
