Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile production technology, and in particular to a ceramic tile turning machine for ceramic tile production. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic tiles are a type of acid- and alkali-resistant building or decorative material made from refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides through grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering. Their raw materials are mostly clay and quartz sand, mixed under high temperature and compression, resulting in a material with high hardness. A ceramic tile turning machine is a specialized piece of equipment on a ceramic production line, primarily used to automatically turn ceramic tile blanks for subsequent processing or drying.
[0003] Chinese patent CN222406396U discloses a tile turning machine. By setting up a connecting shaft, a connecting piece, and a support pad, when multiple tiles are stacked together, the connecting piece is rotated to support the support pad between the upper and lower tiles. The support pad separates and supports the two tiles. When pressure is applied to the tiles and they are turned over, the decorative surface of the tiles can be effectively prevented from being scratched, thereby effectively improving the quality of the product.
[0004] When using the aforementioned device, due to the connectors and support pads, workers need to lift the support pads layer by layer to place the tiles. While this method effectively separates adjacent tiles, it has significant drawbacks. First, the process of lifting and placing tiles layer by layer greatly increases the labor intensity of workers, easily leading to fatigue over long periods. Second, this operation significantly extends the tile-laying time, reducing overall work efficiency. Furthermore, when using the pressure plate to compress the tiles, because the pressure plate is in rigid contact with the tile at its center, excessive force can cause the tiles to crack.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a tile turning machine for tile production, comprising:
[0030] Rack 1;
[0031] Two side plates 2 are respectively rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1, and two connecting plates 21 are fixedly provided between the two side plates 2;
[0032] Two slide rail seats 3 are symmetrically arranged between two connecting plates 21;
[0033] Multiple movable blocks 4 are slidably disposed within the slide rail seat 3;
[0034] Follower plate 5 is fixedly installed on one side wall of moving block 4;
[0035] The adjusting mechanism 6 is disposed between the two connecting plates 21 and is used to adjust the distance between the multiple follower plates 5.
[0036] The buffer mechanism 7 is installed on the follower plate 5 and can provide buffering when pressing the tile.
[0037] The above structure enables the simultaneous clamping of multiple tiles while keeping them separated from each other, thus preventing scratches on the tile surface caused by friction between the tiles.
[0038] The adjusting mechanism 6 includes two fixed plates 61, which are symmetrically arranged between two connecting plates 21. Two symmetrically distributed slotted plates 62 are also provided between the two connecting plates 21. A cylinder 63 is installed on the side wall of the two fixed plates 61 that are far apart from each other. The output shaft of the cylinder 63 passes through the fixed plate 61 and is fixedly connected to the slotted plate 62. Multiple slots 64 are opened on the slotted plate 62. A slide rod 65 is slidably arranged in the slot 64. One end of the slide rod 65 is fixedly connected to a transition block 66.
[0039] The above-mentioned structure allows the fixing and spacing of tiles to be completed in one go, greatly reducing the number of operation steps, significantly improving work efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0040] The buffer mechanism 7 includes a receiving groove 71, which is opened on the lower side wall of all the following plates 5 except the bottom one. A pressure plate 72 is slidably connected in the receiving groove 71, and two symmetrically distributed clamping springs 73 are provided between the pressure plate 72 and the upper side wall of the receiving groove 71.
[0041] With the above structure, the pressure plate 72 can make flexible contact with the tile during the clamping process, effectively avoiding tile damage caused by rigid contact.
[0042] Among them, a motor 8 is installed on one outer wall of the frame 1. The output shaft of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to one of the side plates 2. The motor 8 is used to drive the side plate 2 to rotate, so that the clamped tile is flipped.
[0043] Two grooves 211 are provided on the side wall of the two connecting plates 21 that are close to each other. The groove plate 62 slides with the groove 211, making the movement of the groove plate 62 more stable.
[0044] The adapter block 66 is fixedly connected to the moving block 4, so that when the slide bar 65 moves, it can drive the moving block 4 to move synchronously through the adapter block 66.
[0045] It should be noted that this utility model is a tile turning machine for tile production. In use, the tiles are placed on each follower plate 5, and then the output shafts of the two cylinders 63 are extended, driving the two groove plates 62 to move closer to each other. Under the action of multiple grooves 64, multiple sliding rods 65 are squeezed and moved by the grooves 64. Driven by the adapter block 66 and the moving block 4, the multiple follower plates 5 move closer to each other to clamp and fix the tiles. During the clamping process, the pressure plate 72 will first contact the tiles. At this time, under the action of the clamping spring 73, the pressure plate 72 slides into the receiving groove 71, applying a pre-tightening force to the tiles to prevent the follower plates 5 from directly and rigidly contacting the tiles and causing damage. After clamping, the motor 8 is started. The output shaft of the motor 8 drives one of the side plates 2 to rotate. Driven by the connecting plate 21, the other side plate 2 rotates together, so that the two side plates 2 rotate synchronously, thereby completing the turning of the tiles.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
