[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 The loading and unloading device for ceramic film production in this embodiment includes a worktable 1, on which a rotating mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a moving mechanism 4 are connected. The moving mechanism 4 is provided with a loading mechanism 5 and a unloading mechanism 6.

[0023] Specifically, the operator first places the ceramic film on top of the rotating mechanism 2, and then uses the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the ceramic film to the designated position. Then, the moving mechanism 4 moves the feeding mechanism 5 to the designated position and uses the feeding mechanism 5 to move the ceramic film to the top of the press base. The press presses the ceramic film to form the shape. Then, the moving mechanism 4 moves the unloading mechanism 6 to the designated position and uses the unloading mechanism 6 to remove the ceramic film from the top of the press base. The loading and unloading are automatic, saving time and effort and improving production efficiency.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 2 includes a first motor 21 with its output end facing upward. The first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 1. The output end of the first motor 21 passes through the workbench 1 and is fixedly mounted on a rotating platform 22.

Three limiting rods 25 are fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1.

[0025] Specifically, three sets of ceramic membranes are placed outside the three limiting posts 24, and three limiting rods 25 separate the three sets of ceramic membranes. By turning on the first motor 21, the first motor 21 can drive the rotary table 22, the connecting plate 23, the three limiting posts 24, the three limiting rods 25 and the three sets of ceramic membranes to rotate to the designated position.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 1. The frame 31 includes two side plates and two horizontal plates. A base plate 32 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two side plates. A second motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 32. The output end of the second motor 33 faces downward and extends through and below the base plate 32. Threaded rods 34 are rotatably installed inside the two horizontal plates via bearings. The bottom of the threaded rods 34 extends through and below the frame 31. The output end of the second motor 33 and the threaded rods 34... The bottom of each of the four components is fixedly equipped with a synchronous pulley 35. The two synchronous pulleys 35 are each equipped with a matching synchronous belt 36. The threaded rod 34 is threaded with a lifting plate 37. The lifting plate 37 has a threaded hole inside that matches the threaded rod 34. The top of the lifting plate 37 is fixedly equipped with four lifting rods 38 that penetrate the upper horizontal plate and extend to the top of the through hole. The upper horizontal plate has a through hole that matches the lifting rods 38. The top of the lifting rods 38 is fixedly equipped with a lifting plate 39, which is located outside the limiting post 24.

[0027] Specifically, by activating the second motor 33, the second motor 33 drives the two synchronous pulleys 35, the synchronous belt 36 and the threaded rod 34 to rotate. The threaded rod 34 drives the lifting plate 37, the four lifting rods 38 and the lifting plate 39 to move upward. The lifting plate 39 drives the ceramic membrane outside the limit post 24 to be lifted upward to the designated position.

[0028] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 4 includes a first linear module 41, which is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A mounting frame 42 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first linear module 41. A third motor 43 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the mounting frame 42. The output end of the third motor 43 passes through the mounting frame 42 and is fixedly installed on a rotating frame 44. A second linear module 45 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the rotating frame 44. The second linear module 45 is vertically arranged and a moving frame 46 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second linear module 45.

[0029] Specifically, by activating the first linear module 41, the first linear module 41 drives the moving frame 46 to move horizontally to the designated position. By activating the second linear module 45, the second linear module 45 drives the moving frame 46 to move vertically to the designated position. By activating the third motor 43, the third motor 43 drives the moving frame 46 to rotate to the designated position.

[0030] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a feeding plate 51, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the movable frame 46. Eight suction cups 52 are fixedly installed inside the feeding plate 51. The eight suction cups 52 are evenly and equidistantly distributed, and each of the eight suction cups 52 is connected to an air inlet pipe 53.

[0031] Specifically, the air inlet pipe 53 is connected to the air inlet of the air pump. When the air pump is turned on, it draws in air, and the eight suction cups 52 adsorb the ceramic membrane. When the air pump is turned off, it stops drawing in air, and the eight suction cups 52 release the ceramic membrane from adsorption.

[0032] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding tray 61, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other end of the movable frame 46. Four first cylinders 62 are fixedly installed on the top of the feeding tray 61. A connecting frame 63 is fixedly installed on the output end of each of the four first cylinders 62. A second cylinder 64 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the four connecting frames 63. A clamping plate 65 is fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the four second cylinders 64. The top of each of the four clamping plates 65 is an inclined surface.

[0033] Specifically, firstly, the four first cylinders 62 are activated, which move the four clamping plates 65 towards the four corners to the designated positions. Then, the second cylinder 64 is activated, which moves the four clamping plates 65 downward to the designated positions. Next, the four first cylinders 62 are activated, which move the four clamping plates 65 inward to the designated positions, where the four clamping plates 65 clamp the ceramic membrane. Finally, the second cylinder 64 is activated, which moves the four clamping plates 65 upward to the designated positions, where the four clamping plates 65, in conjunction with the four connecting brackets 63, clamp the ceramic membrane.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0035] First, the operator places three sets of ceramic membranes outside the three limiting posts 24. The three limiting rods 25 separate the three sets of ceramic membranes. Then, the second motor 33 is turned on, which drives the two synchronous pulleys 35, the synchronous belt 36, and the threaded rod 34 to rotate. The threaded rod 34 drives the lifting plate 37, the four lifting rods 38, and the lifting plate 39 to move upward. The lifting plate 39 lifts the ceramic membranes outside the limiting posts 24 to the designated position. Then, the first linear module 41 is turned on, which moves the moving frame 46 horizontally to the designated position. The second linear module 45 is turned on, which moves the moving frame 46 vertically to the designated position. The third motor 43 is turned on, which rotates the moving frame 46 to the designated position, so that the eight suction cups 52 are directly above the ceramic membranes. The air pump is turned on, which sucks in air, and the eight suction cups 52 adsorb the ceramic membranes. Finally, the first linear module 41, the second linear module 45, and the third motor 43 are turned on to move the ceramic membranes to the top of the press base. The system automatically shuts off the air pump, stopping air intake. The eight suction cups 52 release the ceramic film from its grip, and the press presses the ceramic film into shape. Then, the first linear module 41, the second linear module 45, and the third motor 43 are activated to move the four clamping plates 65 directly above the ceramic film. The four first cylinders 62 are activated, moving the four clamping plates 65 towards the four corners to designated positions. The second cylinder 64 is activated, moving the four clamping plates 65 downwards to designated positions. The four first cylinders 62 are activated, moving the four clamping plates 65 inwards to designated positions, clamping the ceramic film. The second cylinder 64 is activated, moving the four clamping plates 65 upwards to designated positions. The four clamping plates 65, in conjunction with the four connecting frames 63, clamp the ceramic film. The first linear module 41, the second linear module 45, and the third motor 43 are then activated to remove the ceramic film from the top of the press base. This automatic loading and unloading process saves time and effort, improving production efficiency.
