Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zirconia ceramic plunger production technology, specifically a zirconia ceramic plunger processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Zirconia ceramic plungers are precision ceramic plungers made of zirconia (ZrO2) material. They possess excellent properties such as high hardness, high strength, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and good thermal stability. These characteristics make zirconia ceramic plungers widely used in various industrial fields. The production process of zirconia ceramic plungers consists of five steps: raw material preparation, forming process, sintering process, blank cutting, and surface treatment. Starting with the proportioning of high-purity raw materials, a dense matrix is ​​formed through forming and high-temperature sintering. Then, micron-level precision is achieved through ultra-precision cutting. Finally, surface treatment ensures its corrosion resistance, high hardness, and long service life. These steps... In this process, the forming step of the plunger is particularly important. The existing forming process of zirconia ceramic plungers is mostly achieved by a die stamping machine. A certain amount of high-purity raw material is manually fed into the die, and then the die is placed under the stamping machine. The hydraulic cylinder drives the stamping head to move down, extruding the high-purity raw material inside the die to form the plunger. Then the formed plunger is taken out, and this process is repeated. In the traditional zirconia ceramic plunger forming process, the three steps of filling, forming and discharging are performed sequentially, which requires repeated machine stops, resulting in low production efficiency of the zirconia ceramic plunger forming process. To address this, we propose a zirconia ceramic plunger processing device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a zirconia ceramic plunger processing device with a forming mechanism. The mold can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the center of the turntable.

[0005] Stamping frame: It is equipped with a mounting base at its upper end;

[0006] The forming mechanism includes a turntable, a mold, a moving frame, a discharge column, and a forming column.

The mold is evenly arranged on the outer surface of the turntable, and the lower end of the mold is fitted with the bottom wall of the mounting base. The moving frame is slidably connected to the upper end of the mounting base. A guide column is provided in the middle of the lower end of the moving frame, and the outer surface of the guide column is slidably connected to the middle of the lower end of the mounting base. The discharge column and the forming column are both located at the lower end of the moving frame. The discharge column and the forming column are arranged in a ring-shaped staggered distribution with the middle of the moving frame as the center, providing a foundation for the forming of zirconia ceramic plungers. With the forming mechanism, the mold can rotate 360 ​​degrees with the middle of the turntable as the center. The filling, forming, and discharge steps can be carried out simultaneously without stopping the machine, which improves the production efficiency of the zirconia ceramic plunger forming process.

[0007] Furthermore, the diameter of the discharge column is smaller than the inner diameter of the mold, the outer surface of the forming column is inserted into the inner wall of the mold, and the length of the discharge column is greater than the length of the forming column, so that the discharge work can be carried out at the same time as the zirconia ceramic plunger is formed.

This provides a basis for the filling, forming and discharging of the zirconia ceramic plunger.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a vision camera, which is located in the middle of the front side of the bottom wall of the mounting base. The vision camera is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller and can accurately determine the rotation angle of the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a hydraulic cylinder, which is located in the middle of the upper part of the stamping frame.

[0014] The filling area, forming area, and discharge area are arranged in a circular array with the center of the mounting base as the center.

The lower end of the mold 32 is fitted into the bottom wall of the mounting base 2, and the lower end of the mold 32 fits against the bottom wall of the mounting base 2 to prevent high-purity raw materials from leaking from the lower end of the molding cavity.

The included angle between the material column 34 and the forming column 35 is 20 degrees, providing a foundation for the forming of the zirconia ceramic plunger. The diameter of the material column 34 is smaller than the inner diameter of the mold 32. The outer surface of the forming column 35 is inserted into the inner wall of the mold 32. The length of the material column 34 is greater than the length of the forming column 35, allowing material discharge to be performed simultaneously with the forming of the zirconia ceramic plunger. The forming mechanism 3 also includes a drive assembly 36, which includes an internal gear ring 361, a motor 362, and a gear 363. The internal gear ring 361 is located at the lower end of the inner wall of the turntable 31, and the motor 362 is located at the middle of the rear side of the lower end of the mounting base 2. The input end of the motor 362 is electrically connected to a single... At the output end of the chipper 5, gear 363 is located on the upper end of the output shaft of motor 362.

[0023] The working principle of the zirconia ceramic plunger processing device provided by this utility model is as follows: During the zirconia ceramic plunger forming process, the external material conveying device sends high-purity raw materials into the previous forming cavity inside the mold 32 through the connecting pipe and the feeding pipe 37. The mold 32 is in close contact with the bottom wall of the mounting base 2, so the high-purity raw materials will not leak. The microcontroller 5 controls the motor 362 to operate. The output shaft of the motor 362 drives the gear 363 to rotate, and the internal gear ring 361 rotates accordingly, driving the turntable 31 to rotate. The mold 32 also rotates clockwise. When the forming cavity of the mold 32 filled with material is vertically adjacent to the forming column 35, the vision camera 39 detects the mark on the top wall of the turntable 31. The vision camera 39 sends an electrical signal to the microcontroller 5, the external hydraulic pump station works, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends downward, driving the moving frame 33 and the forming column 35 to move downward. The forming column 35 is inserted into the mold 32. Inside one forming cavity, high-purity raw materials are extruded and shaped. Simultaneously, the next forming cavity inside the mold 32 moves to below the feeding pipe 37. While the high-purity raw materials in the previous forming cavity are being extruded and shaped, the next forming cavity is filled with high-purity raw materials. The motor 362 rotates, driving the turntable 31 and the mold 32 to continue rotating. When the previous forming cavity is vertically adjacent to the discharge column 34 and the notch 38, the next forming cavity moves to below the forming column 35. At this time, the moving frame 33 moves down, driving the discharge column 34 and the forming column 35 to move down synchronously. The discharge column 34 pushes out the zirconia ceramic plunger that has already been formed in the previous forming cavity, and the forming column 35 extrudes and shapes the high-purity raw materials in the next forming cavity. This process is repeated, allowing the filling, forming, and discharging steps to be carried out simultaneously without stopping the machine, thus improving the production efficiency of the zirconia ceramic plunger forming process.
