Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic softening technology, and in particular to a ceramic softening device. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramics are inorganic non-metallic materials made by high-temperature sintering, possessing unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties.

[0003] Before firing, existing ceramics are typically softened by water sprayed from nozzles using a softening device, making them easier to shape. Excess water flowing from the ceramics is then filtered and recycled through a filter plate, effectively saving water resources and avoiding waste. However, the water flowing from the ceramics contains a large number of soil particles, which can easily clog the filter plate. This requires manual replacement of the filter plate to prevent it from failing to effectively filter the water placed on it. Manually replacing the filter plate is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also inefficient and cannot be done quickly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the inability to quickly replace filter plates in the prior art, and to propose a ceramic softening device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A ceramic softening device includes a collection box, an installation cylinder fixedly mounted on the collection box, a placement plate fixedly mounted on the installation cylinder, four circumferentially evenly spaced sliding holes on the placement plate, a filter plate on the placement plate, four sliding rods slidably disposed in the sliding holes fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the filter plate, each of the four sliding rods having a semi-circular installation groove, a rotating cylinder rotatably mounted inside the installation cylinder, and four limiting plates disposed in the installation grooves and limiting the sliding rods fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, a servo motor is also fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder, a drive gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor, and a rotating gear that meshes with the drive gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder relative to the bottom of the four limiting plates.

[0008] Preferably, the placement tray has multiple circumferentially evenly spaced drainage holes, and a connecting column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement tray. The bottom of the connecting column is fixedly installed inside the installation cylinder, and a connecting cavity is opened inside the connecting column to connect the collection box and the drainage holes.

[0009] Preferably, the placement tray has a sealing groove with a circular structure, and a sealing strip is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter plate in the sealing groove.

[0010] Preferably, an annular slide rail is fixedly installed on the upper end of the collection box, a sliding block is slidably arranged on the annular slide rail, and a vertical plate is fixedly installed on the sliding block. Multiple nozzles are fixedly installed on the side wall of the vertical plate.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid storage tank is also fixedly installed on the upright plate, and a delivery cavity communicating with the liquid storage tank and the nozzle is opened in the upright plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0013] This invention uses a rotating gear to drive the rotating cylinder to rotate, causing the four limiting plates to rotate and slide out of the mounting groove, thus releasing the limiting of the sliding rod and facilitating the quick removal of the filter plate from the placement tray, making it easy to replace the filter plate quickly.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4A ceramic softening device includes a collection box 1, an installation cylinder 2 integrally fixedly mounted on the collection box 1, a placement plate 10 fixedly mounted on the installation cylinder 2 by bolt assembly, four circumferentially evenly spaced sliding holes 13 on the placement plate 10, and a filter plate 16 on the placement plate 10. Four sliding rods 14 slidably disposed in the sliding holes 13 are fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the filter plate 16 by bolt assembly. Each of the four sliding rods 14 has a semi-circular mounting groove 15. A rotating cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted inside the installation cylinder 2. Four limiting plates 7 are integrally fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 5, disposed in the mounting grooves 15 and limiting the sliding rods 14. The limiting plate 7 consists of a fan-shaped plate and an arc plate. The rotating cylinder 5 drives the limiting plate 7 to rotate, causing the arc plate on the limiting plate 7 to slide into the mounting groove 15 and limit the sliding rods 14.

[0021] A servo motor 8 is also fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder 2 by bolt assembly. A drive gear 9 is integrally fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 8. A rotating gear 6 that meshes with the drive gear 9 is integrally fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 5 relative to the bottom of the four limit plates 7.

[0022] The placement plate 10 has multiple circumferentially spaced drainage holes 11, and a connecting column 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement plate 10. The bottom of the connecting column 3 is fixedly installed in the installation cylinder 2 by bolt assembly, and a connecting cavity 4 is opened in the connecting column 3 to connect the collection box 1 and the drainage holes 11.

[0023] The placement tray 10 has a sealing groove 12 with a circular structure. The filter plate 16 is fixedly installed with a sealing strip 17 in the sealing groove 12 by bolt assembly at the bottom end to prevent water from flowing from the gap between the filter plate 16 and the placement tray 10 into the seepage hole 11.

[0024] The upper end of the collection box 1 is fixedly installed with an annular slide rail 18 by bolt assembly. A sliding block 19 is slidably arranged on the annular slide rail 18, and a vertical plate 21 is fixedly installed on the sliding block 19 by bolt assembly. Multiple nozzles 22 are integrally fixedly installed on the side wall of the vertical plate 21.

[0025] A liquid storage tank 20 is also fixedly installed on the upright plate 21 by bolt assembly, and a delivery cavity connecting the liquid storage tank 20 and the nozzle 22 is opened in the upright plate 21.

[0026] It should be noted that the bolt assembly is existing technology, specifically including bolts and bolt holes. The specific models and specifications of the servo motor 8 and sliding block 19 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation methods use existing technology in this field, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0027] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0028] When in use, the ceramic to be softened is placed on the filter plate 16 and slid on the annular slide rail 18 by the sliding block 19, so that the nozzle 22 on the vertical plate 21 rotates around the placement plate 10 to spray the ceramic surface evenly and soften the ceramic.

[0029] The water left on the ceramic surface is filtered by the filter plate 16 and collected from multiple seepage holes 11 into the connecting cavity 4, so that the water in the connecting cavity 4 is recycled into the collection box 1. When the filter holes on the filter plate 16 are blocked by soil particles, the output end of the servo motor 8 drives the drive gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating gear 6 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating gear 6 drives the rotating cylinder 5 to rotate clockwise, so that the four limit plates 7 slide out from the mounting groove 15, releasing the limit on the sliding rod 14, which facilitates quick replacement of the filter plate 16.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
