Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic processing technology, and specifically to a drying device for ceramic processing. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramics is a general term for pottery and porcelain. Common ceramic materials include clay, alumina, and kaolin. Ceramic materials generally have high hardness but poor plasticity. In addition to being used for tableware and decoration, ceramics also play an important role in the development of science and technology. Ceramic raw materials are extracted from clay, a resource abundant on Earth. The ceramic processing involves steps such as clay preparation, throwing, molding, trimming, drying, carving, glazing, firing, and painting. After throwing, the damp ceramic blank often needs to be dried before proceeding to the next step, which helps improve the quality of the ceramic pieces.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN216790745U discloses a drying device for ceramic processing, relating to the field of ceramic processing equipment technology. The device includes a base with a drying chamber fixedly mounted on top. A low-speed motor is installed at the bottom of the drying chamber, and the motor's output shaft is connected to a turntable via a rotating shaft. Electric telescopic rods are symmetrically arranged on the top of the turntable, and a tray is slidably mounted on the top of the telescopic rods via a lifting plate. An exhaust device and a heating device are installed on the top of the drying chamber. The heating device is connected to the exhaust device and a side exhaust device via an air outlet pipe and a three-way connector. This invention utilizes sliding trays to place and remove ceramic parts, and a turntable to rotate the ceramic parts, ensuring more uniform heating and guaranteeing drying quality. The exhaust device discharges water vapor and gas, while simultaneously filtering pollutants and impurities in the gas, avoiding direct air pollution.
[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following shortcomings: using two sets of blowing devices to directly blow the ceramic blank for drying, the direct blowing of the nozzles is prone to dead corners, resulting in uneven drying of different parts of the ceramic, which makes it easy for cracks to appear during the firing process and affects the yield of ceramics.
