Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic production technology, and in particular to a ceramic blank grinding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and decoration industry, ceramic blanks, especially rectangular ceramic tiles, are widely used due to their aesthetic appeal and durability. The polishing process on the surface of the ceramic blank is crucial. It removes burrs and minor protrusions, improving flatness and smoothness, laying a solid foundation for subsequent processes such as glazing and printing decorative patterns. This ensures the final product's texture and quality, meeting market demands for high-quality ceramic products.

[0003] Currently, the process for grinding the upper surface of ceramic blanks is relatively mature in existing technologies. Typically, the ceramic blank is first placed on a worktable. Then, a grinding device is activated. This device mainly consists of a motor and a grinding head. The motor drives the grinding head to rotate, and the grinding head, through contact friction with the upper surface of the ceramic blank, performs the grinding operation on the upper side of the blank, thereby achieving the desired surface finish.

[0004] However, when performing large-scale grinding work on the upper side of ceramic blanks, the grinding devices using existing technology will have the following problems: the grinding components only rotate on the ceramic blanks, and the grinding direction is relatively singular, which makes the position and direction of contact between the grinding components and the ceramic blanks relatively singular, and the grinding effect cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ceramic blank grinding device that can guarantee the grinding effect.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a ceramic blank grinding device, comprising a frame, a conveying mechanism mounted on the frame for driving the ceramic blank back and forth, multiple sets of support components spaced apart on the conveying mechanism, and a grinding component mounted on the frame for grinding the upper side of the ceramic blank. The support component includes a support frame fixed on the conveying mechanism and a support tray rotatably connected to the support frame for supporting the ceramic blank. A gear is fixed at the lower end of the support tray, and a rack is mounted on the frame for gear meshing to drive the gear to rotate.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the upper side of the support tray is provided with multiple suction cups for adsorbing the lower side of the ceramic blank.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the multiple suction cups are arranged in a circumferentially even distribution on the upper side of the support tray.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the grinding assembly includes a grinding head with its output end facing downwards and a grinding motor mounted on a frame for driving the grinding head to rotate.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the grinding assembly also includes multiple moving drive components mounted on the frame and used to adjust the up, down, left, and right positions of multiple grinding motors one by one.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, the moving drive component includes a first lead screw rotatably connected to the frame and extending left and right, a first slide block threadedly connected to the first lead screw and slidably connected to the frame, a first servo motor mounted on the first slide block and used to drive the first lead screw to rotate, a second lead screw rotatably connected to the first slide block and extending up and down, a second slide block threadedly connected to the second lead screw and slidably connected to the first slide block up and down, and a second servo motor mounted on the frame and used to drive the second lead screw to rotate, wherein the grinding motor is mounted on the second slide block.

[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, multiple sets of the grinding components are arranged at intervals on the frame.

[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, the conveying mechanism includes a third lead screw that is rotatably connected to the frame and extends forward and backward, a moving platform that is slidably connected to the frame, a third servo motor that is mounted on the frame and used to drive the third lead screw to rotate, and multiple sets of the supporting components are mounted on the moving platform.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical concept claimed by the present invention. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a ceramic blank grinding device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200 mounted on the frame 100 for moving the ceramic blank back and forth, multiple sets of support components 300 spaced apart on the conveying mechanism 200, and a grinding component 400 mounted on the frame 100 for grinding the upper side of the ceramic blank. It should be noted that the ceramic blank to be ground in this invention is the upper side of a square ceramic tile. In practice, the conveying mechanism 200 can be a translation table, a moving trolley, etc., capable of moving the ceramic blank back and forth. Preferably, the conveying mechanism 200 can be controlled by an external control device to operate, stop, and adjust its speed. The grinding component 400 can be a motor driving the grinding head to rotate or a drive shaft and tension shaft driving the abrasive belt to rotate. When the grinding component 400 is running and in contact with the upper side of the ceramic blank, grinding of the upper side of the ceramic blank is achieved.

[0027] The supporting assembly 300 includes a support frame 310 fixed to the conveying mechanism 200 and a support tray 320 rotatably connected to the support frame 310 and used to support the ceramic blank. A gear 330 is fixed at the lower end of the support tray 320, and a rack 110 is installed on the frame 100 for meshing with the gear 330 to drive the gear 330 to rotate. In fact, the rack 110 extends forward and backward and is fixed to the frame 100, and its forward and backward extension range covers the forward and backward range of the grinding assembly 400. This ensures that when the supporting assembly 300 enters the range of the grinding assembly 400, the support tray 320 rotates relative to the conveying mechanism 200 under the action of the gear 330 and the rack 110, thereby driving the ceramic blank to rotate relative to the conveying mechanism 200.

[0028] This utility model discloses a ceramic blank grinding device. In addition to the original grinding direction in which the grinding component 400 moves relative to the ceramic blank, it also has a conveying mechanism 200 that drives the ceramic blank to move back and forth, and a gear 330 and rack 110 that drive the ceramic blank placed on the upper side of the support tray 320 to move. The various combinations of grinding directions allow the grinding component 400 to grind the ceramic blank at different positions and in different directions, ensuring the grinding effect.

[0029] Specifically, the upper side of the support tray 320 is preferably provided with multiple suction cups 340 for adsorbing the lower side of the ceramic blank. In practice, the suction cups 340 can be vacuum suction cups, capable of adsorbing the lower side of the ceramic blank, reducing the probability of the ceramic blank leaving the support tray 320 due to forward and backward movement, rotation, or contact with the grinding component 400, thus ensuring the grinding stability of the ceramic blank. More specifically, the multiple suction cups are preferably arranged circumferentially on the upper side of the support tray 320, matching the ability of the support tray 320 to rotate relative to the conveying mechanism 200. Even after the multiple suction cups 340 have rotated through a certain angle, the ceramic blank can still be stably adsorbed by the multiple suction cups without adjusting the angle, making the loading of the ceramic blank simpler.

[0030] It should be noted that the polishing assembly 400 preferably includes a polishing head 410 with its output end facing downward and a polishing motor 420 mounted on the frame 100 for driving the polishing head 410 to rotate. During operation, the polishing motor 420 drives the large polishing head to rotate and contact the upper side of the ceramic blank to achieve polishing of the upper side of the ceramic blank.

[0031] Furthermore, the grinding assembly 400 preferably includes multiple moving drive components 430 mounted on the frame 100 and used to adjust the up, down, left, and right positions of the multiple grinding motors 420 one by one. In practice, the grinding assembly 400 can be a dual-axis translation stage, a moving robot, etc., capable of adjusting the up, down, left, and right positions of the grinding head 410 mounted at the output end of the grinding motor 420 and driving the grinding head to move left and right. It can adapt to different specifications of ceramic blanks. By flexibly changing the position of the grinding motor 420, the large grinding head can be used to meet the grinding needs of ceramic blanks of different sizes within a certain range, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment. In addition, it can increase the movement direction of the grinding head 410 relative to the ceramic blank, adding a left-right movement path to the original grinding path, enriching the movement trajectory of the grinding head 410, making the grinding more comprehensive and uniform, thereby ensuring the grinding effect.

[0032] Specifically, the moving drive component 430 preferably includes a first lead screw 431 rotatably connected to the frame 100 and extending left and right, a first slide block 432 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 431 and slidably connected to the frame 100, a first servo motor 433 mounted on the first slide block 432 and used to drive the first lead screw 431 to rotate, a second lead screw 434 rotatably connected to the first slide block 432 and extending up and down, a second slide block 435 threadedly connected to the second lead screw 434 and slidably connected to the first slide block 432 up and down, and a second servo motor 436 mounted on the frame 100 and used to drive the second lead screw 434 to rotate, wherein the grinding motor 420 is mounted on the second slide block 435. The principle of the moving drive component 430 is as follows: The first servo motor 433 is mounted on the first slide block 432 and drives the first lead screw 431 to rotate. Since the first lead screw 431 is rotatably connected to the frame 100 and extends left and right, the first slide block 432 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 431 and slidably connected to the frame 100. The first slide block 432 moves left and right along the first lead screw 431. Similarly, the second lead screw 434 is rotatably connected to the first slide block 432 and extends up and down. The second slide block 435 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 434 and slidably connected to the first slide block 432. The second servo motor 436 is mounted on the frame 100 and drives the second lead screw 434 to rotate. The second slide block 435 moves up and down along the second lead screw 434. Since the grinding motor 420 is mounted on the second slide block 435, through the coordinated action of the first servo motor 433 and the second servo motor 436, the grinding motor 420 can move and adjust in the left and right and up and down directions.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that, preferably, multiple sets of the polishing components 400 are arranged at intervals on the frame 100. (See attached image) Figure 1The diagram shows three sets of grinding components 400 arranged at intervals on the frame 100. In practical applications, the number of grinding components 400 can be changed according to grinding requirements. When the conveying mechanism 200 moves multiple ceramic blanks, the ceramic blanks pass through the grinding areas of each set of grinding components 400 in sequence. Because multiple sets of grinding components 400 are arranged in a front-to-back manner, the ceramic blanks can contact each set of grinding components 400 sequentially during the conveying process, achieving continuous grinding. Through a single conveying action, multiple ceramic blanks can be processed by multiple sets of grinding components 400 simultaneously or sequentially, improving grinding efficiency.

[0034] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 200 preferably includes a third lead screw 210 rotatably connected to the frame 100 and extending forward and backward, a moving platform 220 slidably connected to the frame 100, and a third servo motor 230 mounted on the frame 100 for driving the third lead screw 210 to rotate. Multiple sets of the supporting components 300 are mounted on the moving platform 220. When the third servo motor 230 operates, it drives the third lead screw 210 to rotate, causing the moving platform 220 to move forward and backward along the third lead screw 210, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the multiple sets of supporting components 300 mounted on the moving platform 220. By controlling the rotational speed and direction of the third servo motor 230, the moving speed and direction of the moving platform 220 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the moving speed of the supporting components 300. This allows for adjustment of the position and moving speed of the supporting components 300 to drive the ceramic blank to move forward and backward.
