Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of ceramic tile processing equipment, and more specifically, to a glaze grinding ball mill for ceramic tiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the ceramic tile manufacturing industry, the grinding quality of the glaze directly determines the surface gloss, smoothness, and color expression of the product, making it a core factor affecting tile quality. As a key piece of equipment in glaze processing, the grinding efficiency and effectiveness of the ball mill are crucial to production cycle and product consistency.

[0003] Traditional ball mills have significant drawbacks in the processing of ceramic tile glazes. Due to the complex composition of glazes (containing mineral pigments, frits, additives, etc.) and the extremely high requirements for particle fineness and dispersion uniformity, existing equipment generally suffers from insufficient grinding and excessively long grinding times. Traditional equipment often uses a single rotation speed, which is difficult to adapt to the different characteristics of various glazes, resulting in a high rate of coarse particle residue, requiring repeated grinding to meet the required standards.

[0004] Furthermore, prolonged grinding can lead to excessive heating of the glaze, causing oxidation or agglomeration of some components, which in turn reduces the glaze's finish. Simultaneously, inefficient grinding increases equipment energy consumption and media wear, raising overall production costs. With the increasing demand in the ceramic tile industry for personalized glaze colors and high-gloss products, the poor processing efficiency and time-consuming nature of traditional ball mills are becoming increasingly prominent. There is an urgent need for a specifically optimized glaze grinding device to improve grinding efficiency and quality, meeting the technical requirements of modern ceramic tile production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, embodiments of this disclosure provide a ball mill for grinding ceramic glazes, solving the problems of insufficient grinding and excessively long grinding times commonly found in existing equipment. Traditional equipment often employs a single rotation speed, making it difficult to adapt to the differences in characteristics of various glazes.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a glaze grinding ball mill for ceramic tiles, comprising:

[0007] The tank consists of a base, a circular plate, and a tank body, wherein the circular plate is fixed on the base and the tank body is rotatably mounted on the circular plate.

[0008] A feeding / discharging assembly is disposed on the circular plate;

[0009] A rolling assembly is disposed on the circular plate and the tank body;

[0010] A flow-dispersing component is disposed in the tank body and the base;

[0011] The rolling assembly includes a pair of bases, both of which are fixed on the base. A pair of sliding layers are provided around the outer wall of the tank, and the sliding layers slide against the base. A ring rack is provided around the inner surface of the tank. A drive gear that is electrically driven to rotate is provided on the outer surface of the circular plate, and the drive gear meshes with the ring rack.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the turbulence component includes a pair of inner layers, which are formed around both ends of the tank body. An inner liner is movably connected between the inner layers, and several flow-pushing layers are arranged around the surface of the inner liner.

[0013] As a further technical solution, an inner frame is fixedly connected inside the inner liner layer, and a transmission rod is provided on one side of the inner frame. One end of the transmission rod is movably fitted inside the side surface of the tank body, and the movable connection between the transmission rod and the tank body is a polygonal structure surface.

[0014] As a further technical solution, a fixed column is fixedly connected to the surface of the base, and an eccentric shaft frame that is driven to rotate by electricity is provided on the fixed column. A movable block is rotatably connected to one end of the transmission rod, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected between the movable block and the eccentric shaft frame by a pin.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the feeding and discharging assembly includes a feeding pipe, which is fixed to the side surface of the circular plate. A discharging pipe is provided on the side surface of the circular plate, and an inner cover is provided on the side surface of the circular plate. A fine hole is opened on the surface of the inner cover, and the inner cover is positioned corresponding to the discharging pipe.

[0016] As a further technical solution, a pair of sealing strips are provided on the inner surface of the inner interlayer, and the sealing strips have a circular cross-section.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the thrust layer has a triangular cross-section.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the inner cover has an overall conical structure, and the fine holes are evenly distributed around the surface of the inner cover.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0020] In this disclosure, the rolling assembly achieves stable rotation of the tank through the meshing of a drive gear and a ring rack, supported by a base and a sliding layer, thus solving the problem of the single rotational speed of traditional equipment. The gear and rack meshing allows for flexible adjustment of the tank's rotational speed to adapt to different glaze properties, while the sliding layer reduces rotational friction, ensuring smooth tank operation and preventing shaking that could affect the grinding effect. This design makes the tank rotation efficient and controllable, ensuring thorough grinding of coarse glaze particles while preventing over-grinding of fine particles, thus improving grinding efficiency and adaptability, and reducing energy consumption and media loss.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a glaze grinding ball mill for ceramic tiles according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising:

[0034] The tank consists of a base 1, a circular plate 2, and a tank body 3, wherein the circular plate 2 is fixed on the base 1 and the tank body 3 is rotatably mounted on the circular plate 2.

[0035] Feeding / discharging assembly 6, which is disposed on the circular plate 2;

[0036] Rolling assembly 4, which is disposed on the circular plate 2 and the tank body 3;

[0037] A flow-disrupting component 5 is disposed in the tank body 3 and the base 1;

[0038] The rolling assembly 4 includes a pair of bases 4-1, both of which are fixed on the base 1. A pair of sliding layers 4-2 are provided around the outer wall of the tank body 3. The sliding layers 4-2 slide against the bases 4-1. A ring rack 4-3 is provided around the inner surface of the tank body 3. A drive gear 4-4, which is driven by electricity, is provided on the outer surface of the circular plate 2. The drive gear 4-4 meshes with the ring rack 4-3.

[0039] In some examples, a rolling assembly 4 is designed to achieve stable rotation. This assembly includes a pair of bases 4-1 symmetrically fixed on the base 1, providing a supporting foundation for the rotation of the tank 3. The bases 4-1 have smooth guide rails or rolling grooves inside, which fit tightly against the sliding layer 4-2 around the outer wall of the tank 3, ensuring the tank 3 remains stable during rotation and preventing wobbling or displacement. The contact surfaces of the sliding layer 4-2 and the bases 4-1 are finely machined, resulting in minimal friction between them, allowing the tank 3 to smoothly perform circular motion.

[0040] A ring-shaped rack 4-3, arranged around the inner surface of the tank body 3, serves as a key component for power transmission. It meshes with a drive gear 4-4, which rotates electrically on the outer surface of the circular plate 2. The drive gear 4-4 is driven by an electric motor or other electrically powered device. When the motor starts, the drive gear 4-4 begins to rotate, transmitting rotational power to the tank body 3 through the meshing of the gear and rack. This causes the tank body 3 to rotate stably around its own axis. Because the ring-shaped rack 4-3 encircles the inside of the tank body 3 and meshes with multiple drive gears 4-4 simultaneously, this multi-point meshing disperses the force during transmission, improving transmission stability and effectively preventing wear of the gears or rack due to excessive localized force, thus extending the service life of the entire rolling assembly 4.

[0041] In actual operation, the rolling assembly 4 provides continuous and stable rotational power to the tank 3 through the stable support of the base 4-1 and the sliding layer 4-2, and the precise meshing of the drive gear 4-4 and the ring rack 4-3.

[0042] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the turbulence component 5 in this embodiment includes a pair of inner layers 5-1. The inner layers 5-1 are formed around both ends of the tank body 3. An inner liner layer 5-2 is movably fitted between the inner layers 5-1. Several flow-pushing layers 5-3 are arranged around the surface of the inner liner layer 5-2. An inner frame 5-4 is fixedly connected inside the inner liner layer 5-2. A transmission rod 5-5 is provided on one side of the inner frame 5-4. One end of the transmission rod 5-5 is movably fitted inside the side surface of the tank body 3. The movable connection between the transmission rod 5-5 and the tank body 3 is a polygonal structure. A fixed column 5-6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1. An eccentric shaft frame 5-7 driven by electricity is provided on the fixed column 5-6. A movable block 5-8 is rotatably fitted to one end of the transmission rod 5-5. A connecting rod 5-9 is rotatably connected between the movable block 5-8 and the eccentric shaft frame 5-7 through a pin.

[0043] In some examples, to enhance the material impact effect, a turbulence component 5 is designed. This component includes a pair of inner layers 5-1 circumferentially formed at both ends of the tank body 3, providing space for the installation and movement of the inner liner layer 5-2. The inner liner layer 5-2 is movably fitted between the inner layers 5-1, allowing it to move left and right repeatedly within the inner layers 5-1. Several propulsion layers 5-3 are arranged around the surface of the inner liner layer 5-2, their shapes and positions carefully designed. When the inner liner layer 5-2 moves, the propulsion layers 5-3 can change the flow direction of the material inside the tank body 3, creating a complex turbulence effect.

[0044] The inner frame 5-4, fixedly connected inside the inner liner 5-2, serves as a support and connection, linking the inner liner 5-2 to the transmission rod 5-5. One end of the transmission rod 5-5 is movably fitted inside the side surface of the tank body 3, and the connection point with the tank body 3 is a polygonal structure. This design allows the inner liner 5-2 to drive the transmission rod 5-5 to move synchronously when rotating, while the polygonal structure ensures the stability of the transmission and prevents relative sliding between the transmission rod 5-5 and the tank body 3. An eccentric shaft 5-7, driven by electricity, is mounted on a fixed column 5-6 fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1. The eccentric shaft 5-7 rotates eccentrically under the drive of the motor.

[0045] The eccentric shaft bracket 5-7 is rotatably connected to the movable block 5-8 via a pin. The movable block 5-8 is in turn rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 5-9, thus forming a transmission mechanism. When the eccentric shaft bracket 5-7 rotates, it drives the inner liner layer 5-2 to move left and right repeatedly within the inner interlayer 5-1 via the movable block 5-8 and the connecting rod 5-9. The movement of the inner liner layer 5-2 drives the flow layer 5-3 to agitate the material within the tank 3, causing the material to form an irregular flow trajectory within the tank 3. This increases the frequency and intensity of impacts between materials and between materials and the grinding media, thereby improving grinding efficiency and allowing the ceramic glaze to be ground more thoroughly, thus improving the quality and uniformity of the ceramic glaze surface.

[0046] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the feeding and discharging assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a feeding pipe 6-1, which is fixed to the side surface of the circular plate 2. A discharging pipe 6-2 is provided on the side surface of the circular plate 2. An inner cover 6-3 is provided on the side surface of the circular plate 2. A refining hole 6-4 is opened on the surface of the inner cover 6-3. The inner cover 6-3 is positioned corresponding to the discharging pipe 6-2.

[0047] In some examples, to achieve stable material feeding and discharging, a feeding / discharging assembly 6 is designed. This assembly includes a feed pipe 6-1 fixed to the side surface of the circular plate 2, serving as the material input channel. One end of the feed pipe is connected to an external feeding device, and the other end extends into the tank 3, facilitating the smooth entry of the ceramic tile glaze into the tank 3. The discharge pipe 6-2, located on the side surface of the circular plate 2, is the output channel for the ground material. Its position communicates with the inside of the tank 3, ensuring that the ground ceramic tile glaze can be discharged in a timely manner.

[0048] An inner cover 6-3, located near the discharge pipe 6-2, is set on the side surface of the circular plate 2. The refining holes 6-4 on its surface serve a special purpose. When the ground ceramic glaze is discharged through the discharge pipe 6-2, it first passes through the inner cover 6-3. The diameter of the refining holes 6-4 is precisely designed to perform preliminary filtration and refining of the discharged material. Larger particles or insufficiently ground material are blocked within the inner cover 6-3 and returned to the tank 3 for further grinding. Fine particles that meet the requirements are discharged through the refining holes 6-4, thus ensuring the uniformity and fineness of the output and improving the quality of the ceramic glaze.

[0049] The feeding and discharging assembly 6 achieves efficient conveying and fine processing of ceramic tile glaze through the reasonable layout and coordinated operation of the feeding pipe 6-1, the discharging pipe 6-2 and the inner cover 6-3.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pair of sealing strips 7 are provided on the inner surface of the inner interlayer 5-1, and the sealing strips 7 have a circular cross-section.

[0051] In some examples, the circular sealing strip 7 on the inner surface of the inner layer 5-1 is fixed by adhesive or a slot. It can fill the gap between the inner liner 5-2 and the inner interlayer 5-1, preventing material from leaking into the interlayer area during grinding, avoiding material accumulation that affects the swing of the inner liner 5-2, and also reducing the entry of dust and other impurities, maintaining the cleanliness of the inside of the turbulence assembly 5, and ensuring its stable operation. A gap can be left between the outer wall and the inner interlayer 5-1 to ensure that air is present inside.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the propulsion layer 5-3 has a triangular structure.

[0053] In some examples, the propulsion layer 5-3 adopts a triangular cross-section design. With the apex of the triangle facing forward, it can more effectively cut and agitate the material inside the tank 3 as it moves with the inner liner layer 5-2, guiding the material to form strong turbulence and increasing the chance of collision between the material and the grinding media. Compared with other shapes, this can significantly improve grinding efficiency and help to fully refine the ceramic glaze.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner cover 6-3 has an overall conical structure, and the fine holes 6-4 are evenly distributed around the surface of the inner cover 6-3.

[0055] In some examples, the inner casing 6-3 is conical to facilitate the convergence of material into the discharge pipe 6-2. The finely shaped holes 6-4 evenly distributed around the surface ensure uniform passage of the ground material, preventing localized blockages. The conical structure also allows larger particles that do not meet standards to flow back along the inner wall to the tank 3, where they are ground again with newly entering material, ensuring consistent discharge quality.

[0056] In actual use: the base 1 is fixed at the work site, the circular plate 2 is installed on the base 1, the tank 3 is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the circular plate 2, and the sliding layer 4-2 is attached to the inside of the base 4-1. Ceramic glaze and grinding media are added to the tank 3 through the feed pipe 6-1. After closing the feed pipe 6-1, the equipment is started. The drive gear 4-4 outside the circular plate 2 is electrically driven to rotate, meshing with the annular rack 4-3 inside the tank 3, causing the tank 3 to rotate stably around the circular plate 2. The sliding layer 4-2 slides within the base 4-1 to reduce friction. Simultaneously, the eccentric shaft 5-7 on the fixed column 5-6 is electrically driven to rotate, driving the transmission rod 5-5 to reciprocate via the connecting rod 5-9 and the movable block 5-8, causing the inner liner 5-2 to move left and right within the inner interlayer 5-1. The flow-generating layer 5-3 stirs the material, creating turbulence. During the grinding process, the sealing strip 7 prevents material from seeping into the interlayer, and the inner frame 5-4 enhances the stability of the inner liner 5-2. After grinding, the glaze is filtered through the fine holes 6-4 of the inner cover 6-3. Qualified materials are discharged from the discharge pipe 6-2, while large particles are returned to the tank 3 for further grinding.

Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
