Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a tile grout filling equipment, and more particularly to a high-precision bubble-free tile grout filling production line. Background Technology
[0002] Two-component grout is an adhesive composed of two different chemical substances, each separately packaged in a separate container. The adhesive force generated by the chemical reaction allows it to firmly adhere to the gaps in materials such as tiles and stone, preventing it from easily falling off and providing better weather resistance and color stability.
[0003] The production process of two-component grout sealant generally includes grout sealant preparation, grout sealant cartridge preparation, filling, and packaging. The filling process involves pouring the grout sealant into the cartridge, and this process requires ensuring precise filling volume. Therefore, current grout sealant filling processes utilize screw-type quantitative filling machines. These machines use a screw to drive a piston for precise extension and retraction, and are equipped with solenoid valves to control the opening and closing of the feed tube and extrusion tube, achieving high-precision grout sealant filling. However, current screw-type quantitative filling machines generally only have filling functions; loading and unloading still require manual operation, resulting in relatively low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a high-precision, bubble-free tile grout filling production line, solving the problem that existing technologies cannot fully automate and efficiently fill tile grout.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: A high-precision bubble-free tile grout filling production line includes a frame and several screw quantitative filling modules. The frame is also provided with a first slide module, a second slide module, several lifting modules, and a bearing guide rail. The sliding motion direction of the first slide module and the second slide module is parallel to the distribution direction of the bearing guide rail. The slide of the first slide module is provided with a flipping component and a first finger cylinder. The flipping component can drive the first finger cylinder to rotate repeatedly 180° along the horizontal axis. The slide of the second slide module is horizontally provided with a transverse slide rail and a cylinder. A sliding seat is slidably mounted on the transverse slide rail. The cylinder rod of the cylinder is hinged to the sliding seat. A plurality of second finger cylinders are provided, arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail, and the transverse slide rail is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the bearing guide rail; the screw quantitative filling module is arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail, such that the filling port of the screw quantitative filling module is located directly above the bearing guide rail; the lifting module includes a lifting platform located below the bearing guide rail, and the lifting module is also arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail; the bearing guide rail includes two vertically fixed guard plates at equal intervals and a support plate horizontally fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the guard plates, the two support plates are of equal height and spaced apart from each other; the array spacing of the screw quantitative filling module, the second finger cylinders and the lifting module is the same.
[0006] This utility model is generally equipped with four screw-type quantitative filling modules, two of which are used for filling the first component of the grout sealant, and the other half is used for filling the second component of the grout sealant. This utility model needs to be used with an automated grout sealant tube supply equipment as the feeding position. Generally, for easy positioning, the grout sealant tube is in a vertical position with the head facing upwards at the feeding position. The filling procedure of this utility model is as follows: First, the first slide module will drive the flipping component on it to move to the front end. Then, the flipping component will drive the first finger cylinder to flip forward. At this time, the grout tube on the loading position is exactly within the clamping range of the first finger cylinder. After the first finger cylinder clamps the grout tube, the flipping component will drive the first finger cylinder to flip backward 180°. The first finger cylinder will then release, and the grout tube will be placed upside down at the front end of the support guide rail. The first slide module can use its own displacement to place the grout tube in two positions on the support guide rail, one near and one far. The second slide module, together with its horizontal slide rail and cylinder, can realize the sliding seat to move clockwise in a rectangular path in the vertical projection direction. The travel distance in the forward and backward direction is twice the distance between the grout tubes. When the sliding seat moves to the front end and approaches the support rail, the grout tube is placed in two positions on the support guide rail. When the guide rail is in one direction, the second finger cylinder clamps synchronously, which can drive the grout tube on the carrying guide rail to move backward. When the sliding seat moves to the rear end, the second finger cylinder releases, and then the cycle can be repeated. In this way, the grout tube on the carrying guide rail can be continuously and stepwise conveyed backward. Each movement is twice the distance between grout tubes. The interval between two conveying is the filling time of the screw quantitative filling module. In this way, the grout tube can experience the filling of two grout components in sequence. Before each filling begins, the lifting platform of the lifting module will rise and push the upper grout tube to a high position. Then, as filling begins, the lifting platform will descend synchronously, so that the height between the filling port and the liquid surface remains relatively stable during the filling process. The filled grout tube will be continuously conveyed to the rear end of the carrying guide rail for subsequent unloading.
[0007] Furthermore, the sliding seat is equipped with a feeding plate and a feeding cylinder at its rear end. The feeding plate has a U-shaped slot that can accommodate a single grout tube. The space between the cylinder rod of the feeding cylinder and the feeding plate can also accommodate a single grout tube. This invention can complete the filling of two grout tubes at a time. Therefore, each cycle of the second sliding module will generate two grout tubes that need to be fed, and the two tubes will be separated by a certain distance. In order to facilitate automated feeding, the two grout tubes need to be brought together. Therefore, this invention uses a feeding plate to push the two tubes to complete the filling of the grout tubes. The movement mode of the feeding plate is the same as that of the sliding seat. The slot on the feeding plate can lock and limit the grout tubes. Then, the single grout tube is pushed to move backward. During the movement, it will abut against another grout tube on the rear side. At this time, the feeding cylinder extends its cylinder rod, and the other grout tube is restricted between the cylinder rod and the feeding plate until it moves to the feeding position, and then the cylinder rod returns to its original position. In this way, the two grout tubes can be stopped close together at the unloading position.
[0008] Therefore, this utility model has the following characteristics compared with the prior art: 1. This utility model can independently perform feeding, step-by-step handling and filling. Each cycle can realize the filling of two tubes of sealant, with high production efficiency and high degree of automation; 2. Under the action of the lifting module, the height difference between the filling port and the liquid surface remains close and stable during the filling process, which can significantly reduce the generation of bubbles and splashing during the filling process and improve the filling quality.

[0017] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A high-precision bubble-free tile grout filling production line includes a frame 100 and four screw-type quantitative filling modules 200. The frame also includes a first sliding table module 301, a second sliding table module 302, four lifting modules 400, and a support guide rail 500. The sliding motion direction of the first and second sliding table modules is parallel to the distribution direction of the support guide rails. The sliding table of the first sliding table module is equipped with a flipping component 10 and a first finger cylinder 20. The flipping component consists of a servo motor 11 and a reducer 12, and can drive the first finger cylinder to rotate repeatedly 180° along a horizontal axis. The sliding table of the second sliding table module... The upper horizontal section is provided with a transverse slide rail 30 and a cylinder 40. A sliding seat 50 is slidably mounted on the transverse slide rail. The cylinder rod of the cylinder is hinged to the sliding seat. Five second finger cylinders 60 are provided on the sliding seat. The second finger cylinders are arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail, and the transverse slide rail is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the bearing guide rail. The screw quantitative filling module is arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail, so that the filling port of the screw quantitative filling module is located directly above the bearing guide rail. The lifting module includes a lifting platform 410, which is located below the bearing guide rail. The lifting module is also arranged in an array parallel to the bearing guide rail. See Figure 6 The bearing guide rail includes two vertically fixed guard plates 510 and a horizontally fixed support plate 520 at the bottom of the side wall of the guard plate. The two support plates are at the same height and spaced apart from each other. The array spacing of the screw quantitative filling module, the second finger cylinder and the lifting module is the same.
[0018] This embodiment typically includes four screw-operated quantitative filling modules: two for filling component one of the grout sealant, and the other half for filling component two. This embodiment requires an automated grout tube supply system as the feeding station. Generally, for ease of positioning, the grout tube is positioned vertically with its head facing upwards at the feeding station. The filling procedure in this embodiment is as follows: First, the first slide module moves its flipping component to the front end. Then, the flipping component drives the first finger cylinder to flip forward. At this time, the grout tube on the loading position is exactly within the clamping range of the first finger cylinder. After the first finger cylinder clamps the grout tube, the flipping component drives the first finger cylinder to flip backward 180°. The first finger cylinder releases, and the grout tube is now inverted and placed at the front end of the support rail. The first slide module can use its own displacement to place the grout tube in two positions on the support rail, one near and one far. The second slide module, in conjunction with its horizontal slide rail and cylinder, can realize the sliding seat moving clockwise in a rectangular path in the vertical projection direction. The travel distance in the forward and backward direction is twice the distance between the grout tubes. When the sliding seat moves to the front end and approaches the support rail... When the slide seat moves to one side of the guide rail, the second finger cylinder clamps simultaneously, which can drive the grout tube on the carrying guide rail to move backward. When the sliding seat moves to the rear end, the second finger cylinder releases, and then the cycle can be repeated. In this way, the grout tube on the carrying guide rail can be continuously and stepwise conveyed backward. Each movement is twice the distance between grout tubes. The interval between two conveying is the filling time of the screw quantitative filling module. In this way, the grout tube can experience the filling of two grout components in sequence. Before each filling begins, the lifting platform of the lifting module will rise and push the upper grout tube to a high position. Then, as filling begins, the lifting platform will descend synchronously, so that the height between the filling port and the liquid surface remains relatively stable during the filling process. The filled grout tube will be continuously conveyed to the rear end of the carrying guide rail for subsequent unloading.
[0019] See Figure 4The sliding seat is equipped with a feeding plate 70 and a feeding cylinder 80 at its rear end. The feeding plate has a U-shaped slot 71 that can accommodate a single tile grout tube. The cylinder rod of the feeding cylinder can also accommodate a single tile grout tube between itself and the feeding plate. In this embodiment, two tile grout tubes can be filled at a time. Therefore, the second sliding module generates two tile grout tubes to be fed each time it cycles, and the two tubes are separated by a certain distance. In order to facilitate automated feeding, the two tile grout tubes need to be brought together. Therefore, in this embodiment, the feeding plate is set to push the two tubes to complete the filling of the tile grout tubes. The movement mode of the feeding plate is the same as that of the sliding seat. The slot on the feeding plate can lock and limit the tile grout tubes. Then, the single tile grout tube is pushed to move backward. During the movement, it will abut against another tile grout tube on the rear side. At this time, the feeding cylinder extends its cylinder rod, and the other tile grout tube is restricted between the cylinder rod and the feeding plate until it moves to the feeding position, and then the cylinder rod resets. In this way, the two grout tubes can be stopped close together at the unloading position.
[0020] See Figure 5 The lifting module also includes a base plate 420 and a top plate 430 fixed relative to the frame, a guide column 440 vertically fixed between the base plate and the top plate, a lifting platform 410 slidably sleeved on the guide column, a first servo motor 450 and a vertically arranged first synchronous belt 460. The first synchronous belt is synchronously connected to the lifting platform. A lifting seat 470 is fixed on the lifting platform, and the top of the lifting seat matches the head shape of the grout tube.
[0021] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The slide module includes a horizontally fixed longitudinal guide rail 310, a slide 320 slidably mounted on the longitudinal guide rail, a second servo motor, and a horizontally arranged second synchronous belt 330, which is synchronously connected to the slide.
[0022] This invention can be modified in many ways, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and such modifications are not considered to depart from the scope of this invention. All such modifications that are obvious to those skilled in the art are included within the scope of these claims.
