Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic tile production technology, and specifically relates to a feeding device for ceramic tile production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the material loading process in tile production lines still relies heavily on manual operation, which mainly presents the following problems: high labor intensity, as a single tile (especially a large-format ceramic slab) can weigh 20-30kg, and manual handling requires repeated bending and lifting, which can easily lead to muscle strain; high risk of breakage, as the edges of the tiles are prone to collisions with equipment or the ground during manual handling, with a glaze breakage rate of 5%-8% (industry survey data), resulting in material waste; prominent safety hazards, as the edges of unground tiles are sharp and operators are easily cut; and stacked tiles may slip and break during handling and loading due to instability.

[0003] While some automated feeding devices exist, they generally suffer from design flaws: rigid contact damage, where mechanical grippers or conveyor belts directly clamp the tile surface, potentially causing hidden cracks; poor positioning accuracy, as traditional guide structures often use fixed metal baffles, and tile stacking tolerances easily lead to jamming, requiring frequent manual intervention; and insufficient adaptability, unable to accommodate different tile sizes, necessitating adjustments to the mechanical structure when changing tiles, resulting in downtime exceeding 30 minutes. Therefore, a convenient, safe, time- and labor-saving feeding device for tile production is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a feeding device for ceramic tile production, which features time and labor saving, safe operation, and strong practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for ceramic tile production, comprising a conveying device, a guiding structure, and a moving ceramic tile. The moving ceramic tile is positioned above the conveying device, and guiding structures are provided on both sides of the moving ceramic tile. A moving frame is provided on one side of the conveying device, and a moving plate is provided on the inner side of the moving frame. The bottom of the moving plate is fixedly connected to the moving frame via multiple sets of springs. Lifting handles are fixed to both sides of the moving plate via connecting rods. Multiple unused ceramic tiles are positioned above the moving plate, with the topmost unused ceramic tile flush with the moving ceramic tile. A push plate is positioned above one side of the unused ceramic tile. A baffle is fixed to the bottom edge of the push plate, located on one side of the unused ceramic tile. A moving handle is fixed to the top of the push plate.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the ceramic tile production feeding device of this utility model, the movable frame includes a base plate and universal wheels fixed to the bottom of the base plate. The lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the base plate. Side plates are symmetrically fixed on the top edge of the base plate. An L-shaped upright plate is provided on one side of the side plate. The side plate is located on both sides of one end of the ceramic tile to be used, and the L-shaped upright plate is located on both sides of the other end of the ceramic tile to be used.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for tile production according to this utility model, a first guide plate is fixed to the side wall of the side plate. The first guide plate is arched and made of elastic material. A rotating groove is provided in the middle of the side wall of the first guide plate. A connecting shaft is fixed to the inner side of the rotating groove. Multiple extrusion rollers are sleeved on the connecting shaft. The outer wall of the extrusion rollers is close to the side of the tile to be used.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, a second guide plate is fixed on one side wall of the L-shaped vertical plate, and the second guide plate has the same structure as the first guide plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, the top surface of the moving plate is fixed with an inclined plate, and the ceramic tiles to be used are stacked on top of the inclined plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, the thickness of the baffle is smaller than the thickness of the ceramic tile to be used.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, the elastic coefficient of the spring is matched with the total weight of the ceramic tiles to be used, so that the moving plate is automatically raised as the ceramic tiles are consumed.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, the lifting handle is located between the side plate and the L-shaped vertical plate.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the material feeding device for ceramic tile production according to this utility model, the bottom of the base plate is provided with casters to facilitate the movement of ceramic tiles.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) Through the linkage design of the push plate and the baffle, the operator only needs to push the moving handle to make the baffle push the tile to move, which can complete the feeding without directly touching the edge of the tile, effectively preventing the sharp edges of the unprocessed tile from scratching the hand; (2) The spring constant is matched with the total weight of the tiles. The moving plate is automatically raised as the tiles are consumed, keeping the top tile level with the moving tile, reducing the frequency of manual adjustment and achieving continuous feeding. If manual adjustment of the tile height is required, the lifting and lowering operation of the moving plate is made easier by the design of the lifting handle and the spring, reducing the muscle load of manual handling.

[0015] (3) The arched elastic design of the first guide plate and the second guide plate, combined with the rolling contact of the extrusion roller, provides flexible guidance and buffer, making the tile push more smoothly and reducing the friction damage on the side of the tile.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0019] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for ceramic tile production, including a conveying device 1, a guiding structure 2, and a moving ceramic tile 3. The moving ceramic tile 3 is provided above the conveying device 1, and the guiding structure 2 is provided on both sides of the moving ceramic tile 3. The conveying device 1 and the guiding structure 2, together with the moving ceramic tile 3, form an existing ceramic tile production line. The conveying device 1 and the guiding structure 2 can be used to transport ceramic tiles to the processing platform. The specific connection method and operating principle of the conveying device 1 and the guiding structure 2 can be referred to in the existing ceramic tile production line, which is a well-known technology in this field, so it is not described in detail here. Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, a movable frame 4 is provided on one side of the conveying device 1, and a movable plate 5 is provided on the inner side of the movable frame 4, which can move up and down. The bottom of the movable plate 5 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 4 by multiple sets of springs 51. The two sides of the movable plate 5 are fixed with lifting handles 53 by connecting rods 52, which facilitates manual adjustment of the movable plate 5. The auxiliary springs 51 realize the lifting of the tiles. Multiple unused tiles 6 are provided above the movable plate 5. The top layer of unused tiles 6 is flush with the movable tile 3. The elastic coefficient of the springs 51 is matched with the total weight of the unused tiles 6, so that the movable plate 5 automatically rises as the tiles are consumed, reducing the frequency of manual adjustment and saving time and effort. A push plate 7 is provided above one side of the unused tile 6. A baffle 71 is fixed on the bottom edge of the push plate 7. The baffle 71 is located on one side of the unused tile 6. The thickness of the baffle 71 is smaller than the thickness of the unused tile 6 to avoid pushing multiple tiles at once. A movable handle 72 is fixed on the top of the push plate 7. Specifically, through the above technical solution, multiple tiles are supported by the movable plate 5. During feeding, the top layer of tiles is supported to one side of the conveyor 1 by the spring 51. The operator can easily push the top layer of tiles onto the conveyor 1 with the help of the push plate 7. There is no need for frequent manual handling of tiles, which saves time and effort. At the same time, the push plate 7 eliminates the need for frequent manual contact with the tiles, reducing the risk of being scratched. In addition, the tiles move stably and are not easy to fall off, reducing the risk of damage. Example

[0020] In another embodiment of this solution, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, the movable frame 4 includes a base plate 41 and casters 44 fixed to the bottom of the base plate 41. The principle can be referred to as the self-locking movable wheel tool in the prior art, which can be easily moved and locked at the same time. The lower end of the spring 51 is fixedly connected to the base plate 41. Side plates 42 are symmetrically fixed on the top edge of the base plate 41. An L-shaped upright plate 43 is provided on one side of the side plate 42. The side plate 42 is located on both sides of one end of the tile to be used 6, and the L-shaped upright plate 43 is located on both sides of the other end of the tile to be used 6. The lifting handle 53 is located between the side plate 42 and the L-shaped upright plate 43. An inclined plate 54 is fixed on the top surface of the movable plate 5. The tiles to be used 6 are stacked on the inclined plate 54. After the tiles are placed on the inclined plate 54, they slide along the inclined surface until one end abuts against the L-shaped upright plate 43, which can realize the automatic arrangement of the tiles. At the same time, the casters 44 make it easy to push the tiles to move and adjust their position. The tiles are not easy to slip off the inclined plate 54, and the movement and transportation are more stable. Example

[0021] In another embodiment of this solution, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, a first guide plate 45 is fixed to the side wall of the side plate 42. The first guide plate 45 is arched and made of elastic material, which can adapt to tiles of different widths. A rotating groove 451 is provided in the middle of the side wall of the first guide plate 45. A connecting shaft 452 is fixed to the inner side of the rotating groove 451. Multiple extrusion rollers 453 are sleeved on the connecting shaft 452. The outer wall of the extrusion rollers 453 is close to the side of the tile 6 to be used. Through multiple rollers, each layer of tile can be pressed and adhered, improving the stability of tile placement. A second guide plate 46 is fixed to one side wall of the L-shaped upright plate 43. The second guide plate 46 has the same structure as the first guide plate 45. Specifically, through the above technical solution, the elastic guide plate drives the roller to squeeze the tile, which improves the stability of the tile placement, makes the tile push more smoothly, and reduces friction damage to the tile.

[0022] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When processing and loading tiles, the operator stacks multiple tiles on the upper part of the moving plate 5 inside the moving frame 4, so that the tiles are guided by the inclined plate 54 at the top of the moving plate 5 and one end abuts against the L-shaped upright plate 43. At the same time, with the elastic compression of the guide plates on both sides of the tiles, the tiles are automatically sorted. Then, the operator moves the moving frame 4 to the loading position on the processing production line via the casters 44. With the support of the moving plate 5 by the spring 51 and the operator lifting the handle 53, the top layer of tiles can be raised to a position flush with the top surface of the production line. Then, the operator holds the push plate 7 to make it fit against the top of the tile, and the bottom baffle 71 of the push plate 7 fits against the side of the tile. Then, the operator can push the tile to move it to the production line, completing the loading. There is no need for frequent manual handling of tiles, which saves time and effort. At the same time, the loading does not require frequent contact with the tiles, making the operation safe.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
