Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile production equipment, and in particular to a mixing and feeding device and a ceramic tile production line. Background Technology

[0002] Porcelain polished tiles, due to their unglazed surface and characteristics such as hardness, wear resistance, and high flatness, are suitable for large-area indoor and outdoor paving applications. Porcelain polished tiles can be made by combining fine powder with predetermined coarse powder and / or granular materials, creating products that offer solid colors, multi-color options, or granular accents, while also providing excellent stain resistance and wear resistance.

[0003] The production of these tiles requires the selection and combination of raw material colors and types (such as coarse powder, fine powder, or granules) to achieve the desired effect. Currently, to meet the production needs of various designs for polished porcelain tiles, different raw materials need to be mixed and combined in advance for subsequent use. Therefore, it is necessary to set up more mechanical equipment (such as mixing, storage, and transfer) in the pre-processing stage of the material distribution device to produce different mixtures. The increase in these pre-processing equipment will lead to an increase in equipment and labor costs (operation and maintenance), and will also result in a corresponding increase in space and land costs.

[0004] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a mixing and fabric application device, comprising:

[0028] The feeding mechanism 1 includes multiple feeding devices for providing raw materials or base materials of different specifications;

[0029] Mixing mechanism 2, which is located downstream of feeding mechanism 1, is used to receive and mix raw materials from multiple feeding devices to form various fabrics;

[0030] Fabric making mechanism 3 is located downstream of mixing mechanism 2. One of the discharge ends of feeding mechanism 1 is connected to fabric making mechanism 3. Fabric making mechanism 3 is used to make fabric using top and bottom materials.

[0031] In use, multiple feeding devices are used to store coarse powder of different colors. The coarse powder can be used directly as a base material and is directly conveyed from the feeding device to the cloth spreading mechanism 3. On the other hand, the coarse powder is further processed by the feeding mechanism 1 to form fine powder or granules of different particle sizes.

[0032] According to design requirements, the mixing unit 2 will receive various coarse powders of different colors as well as various fine powders and / or various granules obtained from processing, and mix the coarse powders, fine powders and / or granules to produce ceramic tiles with decorative effects on the surface.

[0033] This invention's mixing and distributing device can process and mix various coarse powders, fine powders, and granules on-site, then immediately convey them to the distributing mechanism 3 for distribution, and finally into the press 4. The entire production process eliminates the need for large-scale storage of different types of premixed materials; the types of raw materials entering the premix can be adjusted in real-time according to design requirements. Overall, it reduces the use of mixing equipment, eliminating the need for multiple mixing or transfer devices for different designs of ceramic tiles, thus lowering production costs.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes at least one first feeding device 11 and at least one second feeding device 12; the first feeding device 11 includes a first hopper 111 arranged sequentially, and a crusher 112 and / or a granulator 113; the crusher 112 and / or the granulator 113 are connected to the mixing mechanism 2 through a conveying pipe 114; the second feeding device 12 includes a second hopper 121, which is connected to the mixing mechanism 2 or the fabric spreading mechanism 3 through the conveying pipe 114. In this embodiment, the first feeding device 11 is used to store coarse powder that is processed into fine powder and granules for fabric, while the second feeding device 12 is used to store coarse powder that serves as fabric and base material. Before being conveyed to the mixing mechanism 2, the coarse powder from the first feeding device 11 passes through the crusher 112 and / or the granulator 113 to form fine powder and / or granules.

[0035] Preferably, the crusher 112 can also form multi-colored mixed fine powder by inputting coarse powder of various colors.

[0036] Preferably, the granulator 113 can also form multi-colored mixed granules by inputting coarse powder of multiple colors. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the mixing mechanism 2 includes a plurality of first hoppers 21 and second hoppers 22 arranged sequentially, a first conveyor belt 23, and a first mixing component 24. The first conveyor belt 23 is disposed below the plurality of first hoppers 21 and second hoppers 22. The plurality of first hoppers 21 are respectively connected to a plurality of first feeding devices 11. The plurality of second hoppers 22 are respectively connected to a plurality of second feeding devices 12. The outlet of the first mixing component 24 is located above the receiving port of the fabric distribution mechanism 3. The first hoppers 21 and second hoppers 22 are respectively used to receive raw materials conveyed by the first feeding devices 11 and second feeding devices 12. For example, the first hoppers 21 receive fine powder or granules of different colors, and the second hoppers 22 receive coarse powder of different colors. The first hoppers 21 and second hoppers 22 are arranged sequentially above the first conveyor belt 23. Fine powder and / or granular material from the first hopper 21 and coarse powder from the second hopper 22 are layered onto the first conveyor belt 23 and finally conveyed to the first mixing component 24 through the first conveyor belt 23 to form a fabric.

[0037] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the mixing mechanism 2 further includes a second conveyor belt 25, a second mixing component 26, and a third hopper 27 arranged sequentially. The second conveyor belt 25 is located below the plurality of second hoppers 22 and is used to receive the discharge from the plurality of second hoppers 22. The third hopper 27 is located above the first conveyor belt 23. In this embodiment, the second mixing component 26 is used to perform primary mixing of coarse powders of different colors in the plurality of second hoppers 22. Subsequently, the primary mixture is transferred to the first conveyor belt 23 via the third hopper 27, and then further mixed with other fine powders and / or granules by the first mixing component 24. Through multi-stage mixing, the distribution of coarse powders of different colors can be made more uniform, creating different effects. Specifically, the width of the second conveyor belt 25 is greater than the width of the discharge port of the second hopper 22, thereby preventing the mixture from falling off the second conveyor belt 25.

[0038] In practical use, one end of the second conveyor belt 25 is located above the second mixing component 26, and the other end can be located above the fabric feeding mechanism 3. By controlling the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 25, the material from the second hopper 22 can be used to produce fabric or directly used as base material.

[0039] To enhance the aesthetics of the tile's base surface, the base material can be mixed to create a multi-color effect. This can be achieved in the following two ways:

[0040] Method 1: In addition to feeding materials to the second mixing component 26, the second conveyor belt 25 can also feed materials to the cloth spreading mechanism 3. Specifically, feeding materials to the cloth spreading mechanism 3 includes: setting another second mixing component 26 below the other end of the second conveyor belt 25. After mixing the different colored coarse powder materials on the second conveyor belt 25 by the added second mixing component 26, the mixture is then fed to the cloth spreading mechanism 3 through the conveying pipe 114 to form a mixed color base material.

[0041] Method 2: Set up another conveyor belt below the second mixing unit 26. By controlling the conveying direction of this conveyor belt, the mixture after mixing by the second mixing unit 26 can be used to produce fabric or mixed color base material.

[0042] It should be noted that there is a gap between each feeding, and the hoppers do not discharge material continuously, but at intervals. Therefore, the second conveyor belt 25 can switch the conveying direction to simultaneously feed material to the second mixing component 26 or to the feeding mechanism 3.

[0043] Preferably, the first mixing component 24 and the second mixing component 26 are mixing hoppers 263 or mixing plate assemblies 261.

[0044] Please see Figure 3In one embodiment, the mixing plate assembly 261 includes multiple inclined slides 262 arranged sequentially from top to bottom; the end of one slide 262 faces the upper inclined surface of the next slide 262; multiple protrusions 2621 are provided on the upper inclined surface of the slide 262. In this embodiment, the raw material on the conveyor belt falls onto the mixing plate assembly 261 and passes through multiple slides 262 sequentially from top to bottom. The multiple protrusions 2621 on the slides 262 obstruct the raw material as it slides down the slides 262, redistributing the sliding path and thus mixing different raw materials evenly.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the mixing plate assembly 261 further includes a fixing frame 2622, which is detachably connected to multiple slides 262. Specifically, the tilt angle of the slides 262 can be adjusted as needed.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the mixing hopper 263 is provided with a perforated grid 2631, through which raw materials can be dispersed and mixed. Preferably, multiple staggered perforated grids 2631 can be arranged from top to bottom to improve the dispersion effect.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the mixing hopper 263 is provided with multiple baffles 2633 arranged in a staggered manner from top to bottom. The multiple baffles 2633 also serve to disperse and mix the materials.

[0048] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the mixing hopper 263 is equipped with multiple electrically controlled rotating blades 2632. The electrically controlled rotating blades 2632 can disperse and mix the passing raw materials by rotating rapidly.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the fabric mechanism 3 includes a fabric platform 31, and a fabric hopper 32 and a bottom hopper 33 disposed above the fabric platform 31; the fabric hopper 32 is used to receive the discharge of the first mixing component 24; the bottom hopper 33 is used to receive the bottom material provided by the feeding mechanism 1; a fabric grid 34 is disposed on the fabric platform 31, and the fabric grid 34 is used to receive the fabric and bottom material layer by layer.

[0050] The fabric grid 34 moves on the fabric platform 31 and receives the fabric from the fabric hopper 32 and the bottom material from the bottom material hopper 33 layer by layer. The fabric grid 34 distributes the fabric and bottom material into the mold cavity of the press 4 in layers, and then the press 4 presses the material formed by the fabric and bottom material in the mold cavity into brick blanks.

[0051] Preferably, other methods can be selected when the fabric hopper 32 and the bottom hopper 33 are used for fabric distribution. For example, the fabric grid 32 can be omitted, and the fabric hopper 32 and the bottom hopper 33 can be set on a moving device respectively. The fabric hopper 32 and the bottom hopper 33 can be moved to the press mold cavity, which can also achieve layered fabric distribution.

[0052] The second aspect of this utility model provides a ceramic tile production line, including the mixing and spreading device described above.

[0053] The material mixing and distribution device provided by this utility model can directly mix and use the layered raw materials by setting a mixing component below the discharge ends of the first conveyor belt 23 and the second conveyor belt 25. According to different production needs, multiple corresponding raw materials can be directly released from different feeding devices, allowing for mixing only the amount needed, eliminating the need for large-scale pre-mixing and storage. This reduces the number of mixing or storage devices required in the front-end processes, avoiding increased costs and space occupation.

[0054] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
