Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a ceramic blank trimming mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of ceramic products, after the ceramic blanks are formed, they need to be trimmed to ensure dimensional accuracy and edge flatness. At present, this process is gradually developing towards mechanization and automation. The continuous conveying of blanks is achieved by introducing automated conveying mechanisms. At the same time, in order to avoid damage to the blanks and reduce dust, water spraying is often used. In addition, corresponding diversion and recycling mechanisms are set up to deal with the wastewater generated during trimming.

[0003] Existing ceramic blank trimming devices struggle to achieve continuous trimming operations during transport, requiring individual blank handling, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the integration of the water spraying mechanism with the trimming mechanism is poor, lacking a targeted flexible flow guiding structure, leading to uncontrolled cooling water flow. This not only hinders effective recycling but also risks disrupting equipment stability due to water splashing. Therefore, we propose a ceramic blank trimming mechanism to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of the present invention, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents, and such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ceramic blank trimming mechanism that can solve the problems of existing ceramic blank trimming devices, which are difficult to achieve continuous trimming operations during the conveying process, require individual blank picking and placing for processing, resulting in low efficiency, low integration between the water spraying mechanism and the trimming mechanism, and lack of a targeted flexible flow guiding structure, which causes the cooling water to flow randomly, making it difficult to effectively recycle and reuse, and may also affect the stable operation of the equipment due to water splashing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a ceramic blank trimming mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a main base, and a transmission module is fixedly installed at the front end of the main base. The transmission module includes a fastening plate, transmission teeth, a transmission chain, and a drive motor. The fastening plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the main base. Transmission teeth are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the fastening plate, and the transmission chain is sleeved between two transmission teeth. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the left transmission tooth. A limiting boss extending along the length of the transmission chain is opened on the front end face of the fastening plate. Multiple blank bearing units are fixedly installed at intervals on the transmission chain.

[0007] Optionally, the blank carrying unit includes a transmission plate, a carrying plate, a transmission motor, a suction cup assembly, and a plastic edge. The transmission plate is fixedly connected to the transmission chain, and its guide part is slidably engaged with the limiting boss. The plastic edge is provided along the edge of the carrying plate. The plastic edge is a flexible structure and extends outward from the carrying plate. The transmission plate drives the carrying plate to move along the closed-loop path of the fastening plate with the transmission chain.

[0008] Optionally, a drive motor is fixedly installed directly below the transmission plate, the suction cup assembly is fixedly installed directly above the transmission plate, and a bearing plate is axially connected directly above the suction cup assembly. All of the several blank bearing units adopt the same structure.

[0009] Optionally, a primary flow guiding module is fixedly installed directly above the main base and behind the transmission module. The primary flow guiding module includes a square flow guiding channel, a flow guiding pipe, and a receiving bucket. The square flow guiding channel has a slope structure inside and its opening faces directly to the right. An intercepting wing is provided directly behind the square flow guiding channel. A receiving bucket is placed directly to the left of the main base. The left side of the square flow guiding channel is connected to the receiving bucket through the flow guiding pipe to discharge the liquid into the receiving bucket.

[0010] Optionally, a subdivision flow guide module is axially movable only in front of and above the primary flow guide module. The subdivision flow guide module includes a drive motor, a drive shaft, and movable flow guide baffles. Several limiting grooves matching the movable flow guide baffles are opened on the front of the square flow guide groove. Several movable flow guide baffles are respectively installed in the corresponding grooves and axially connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is connected to the drive motor to drive the movable flow guide baffles to move.

[0011] Optionally, the movable flow guide baffle includes two symmetrically radially distributed sub-baffles on both sides. A clearance groove is provided in the middle of the movable flow guide baffle. The movable flow guide baffle is connected to the drive motor via a drive shaft and can rotate axially in front of and above the square flow guide groove. The size of the clearance groove is between the plastic edge and the support plate. When the movable flow guide baffle rotates out, the water flow on the support plate is guided through the plastic edge to the movable flow guide baffle and then flows into the flow guide groove. The plastic edge is flexible and can adapt to the movement of the movable flow guide baffle and provide fault tolerance space.

[0012] Optionally, several grinding and water spraying integrated modules are arranged and fixedly installed directly above the main base and behind the initial flow guiding module. Each grinding and water spraying integrated module includes a grinding disc, a spray pipe, a drive motor, and a movable, adjustable, and fastening support. The grinding disc includes a parallel grinding disc and a vertical grinding disc, the positions of which correspond to the corresponding positions of the blank carrying unit. The front of the movable flow guiding baffle is open. The intercepting wing directly behind the square flow guiding channel is used to receive the water flow thrown out by the ceramic blank when it rotates clockwise under the drive of the grinding motor. The water flow is guided into the square flow guiding channel through the intercepting wing.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. By installing a linkage structure consisting of a transmission module and a billet carrying unit, the billet is continuously and stably transported along a closed-loop path by the transmission chain, realizing the automated flow of multiple billets. The flexible plastic edge not only provides tolerance space for billet positioning, but also cooperates with the subsequent flow guiding module to complete the water flow guidance, laying the foundation for the continuity and stability of the trimming operation.

[0014] 2. By installing a layered flow guiding structure consisting of a primary flow guiding module and a subdivision flow guiding module, the water flow generated during the trimming process is intercepted and precisely guided in stages. The water flow is subdivided and guided by the movable flow guiding baffle, collected by the interception wings, and then discharged into the receiving tank through the flow guiding pipe. This avoids sewage overflow that could pollute the equipment or affect the working environment, while also improving the water resource recycling rate. Attached Figure Description

This achieves the purpose of multi-directional grinding and simultaneous water spraying of the ceramic blank, while also collecting the water flow.

[0026] Description of the water flow guidance and avoidance design of the flow guiding structure: The front of the movable flow guiding baffle 53 is set as an open opening. This design provides sufficient space for the conveying and trimming of ceramic blanks, ensuring that the blanks will not interfere with the flow guiding structure during the flow process. The intercepting wing 41 directly behind the square flow guiding channel 42 is specifically used to receive the water flow generated when the ceramic blanks rotate clockwise under the action of the driving grinding motor 63. When the blanks are rotating at high speed for trimming, the cooling water and debris mixture on their surface will be thrown outward due to centrifugal force. The intercepting wing 41 can effectively block and guide this part of the water flow, so that the water flow can be smoothly guided along the intercepting wing 41 into the interior of the square flow guiding channel 42, thereby realizing the collection of trimming wastewater.

[0027] The specific working principle is as follows: By installing a linkage structure consisting of a transmission module 2 and a billet carrying unit 3, the billet is continuously and stably transported along a closed-loop path by the transmission chain 23, realizing the automated flow of multiple billets. The flexible plastic edge 35 not only provides tolerance space for billet positioning, but also cooperates with the subsequent flow guiding module to complete the water flow guidance, laying the foundation for the continuity and stability of the trimming operation. By installing a layered flow guiding structure consisting of a primary flow guiding module 4 and a subdivision flow guiding module 5, the water flow generated during the trimming process is intercepted and precisely guided in stages. After the water flow is subdivided and guided by the movable flow guiding baffle 53 and collected by the interception wing 41, it is discharged to the receiving tank 44 through the flow guiding pipe 43, avoiding sewage overflow that pollutes the equipment or affects the working environment, while improving the water resource recycling rate.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
