[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Embodiments of this application provide a glaze scraper with controllable glaze flow rate, including a scraper body 100, a blade 200, and an adjusting wheel 300.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the glaze scraper body 100 is configured as a U-shaped plate for containing glaze, and a tool mounting position is provided at the opening of the U-shaped plate for mounting the tool head 200.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the blade 200 is slidably mounted at the blade mounting position of the glaze scraper body 100.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting wheel 300 is rotatably mounted on the glaze scraper body 100 near the cutter mounting position, and the adjusting wheel 300 abuts against the cutter head 200. When the adjusting wheel 300 rotates, it can generate friction with the cutter head 200, so that the adjusting wheel 300 drives the cutter head 200 to slide in the cutter mounting position during the rotation, thereby adjusting the opening of the opening on the glaze scraper body 100 to control the glaze flow rate.

[0026] In ceramic manufacturing, different ceramic blanks have different shapes, sizes, and surface characteristics, and their materials are also diverse, such as porcelain clay and earthenware clay. Furthermore, the properties of the glazes vary greatly, including viscosity, fluidity, and drying speed. At the same time, different production requirements also impose different standards on the glaze scraping effect; for example, some require fine texture carving, while others emphasize uniform glaze coverage. Existing glaze scrapers struggle to precisely adjust the glaze amount according to these specific conditions. However, the glaze scraper of this application adjusts the opening of the scraper body 100 by sliding the blade 200 at the blade mounting position, thereby controlling the glaze flow rate and flexibly adapting to different ceramic production needs.

[0027] An adjusting wheel 300 is rotatably mounted on the glaze scraper body 100 near the cutter mounting position and abuts against the cutter head 200. During adjustment, the adjusting wheel 300 rotates, generating friction with the cutter head 200, thereby driving the cutter head 200 to slide within the cutter mounting position. This design allows the movement distance of the cutter head 200 to be controlled by the rotation angle of the adjusting wheel 300, thus adjusting the opening size of the opening on the glaze scraper body 100 and achieving precise control of the glaze flow rate. For example, for ceramic works requiring fine texture engraving, the opening size can be reduced to decrease the amount of glaze flowing out, thereby creating delicate lines; while for cases requiring uniform glazing over a large area, the opening size can be appropriately increased to improve glazing efficiency.

[0028] Compared with the existing glaze scraper which has insufficient flexibility in adjusting the amount of glaze scraped, when using the glaze scraper of this application, the operator only needs to rotate the adjusting wheel 300 to drive the blade head 200 to slide, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the glaze. This greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of operation, reduces the difficulty of operation, and even inexperienced operators can quickly master and accurately adjust the flow rate of the glaze.

[0029] Because it allows for precise control of glaze flow rate according to different production conditions, the glaze scraper of this application can effectively avoid quality problems caused by excessive or insufficient glaze flow. For example, excessive glaze flow may result in an overly thick glaze layer, leading to defects such as glaze runs and cracks; while insufficient glaze flow may result in an uneven glaze layer, affecting the aesthetics and quality of the ceramic work. By precisely controlling the glaze flow rate, the stability of the glaze scraping quality can be guaranteed, improving the yield and quality of ceramic works.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the glaze scraper with controllable glaze flow further includes a telescopic rod 400, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the scraper body 100, and the telescopic rod 400 is telescopic.

[0031] For example, the telescopic rod 400 includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism, an electric actuator telescopic mechanism, a threaded screw telescopic mechanism, or a linear motor.

[0032] The glaze scraper with controllable glaze flow of this application allows the length of the telescopic rod 400 to be adjusted according to the different heights and sizes of the ceramic blank, making it adaptable to the production of ceramic works of different sizes. For example, when making large ceramic blanks, due to their large size, some corners are far from the operator, making it difficult for ordinary glaze scrapers to reach them. However, the telescopic rod 400 can extend the glaze scraper, allowing the operator to easily operate on all parts of the large ceramic blank, especially the edges, avoiding the trouble of having to move the ceramic blank or use other auxiliary tools because they cannot reach them, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0033] For small ceramic containers, the production process often requires more delicate operations. Shortening the telescopic rod by 400mm allows the glaze scraper to be more compact, enabling operators to control its movement more precisely and achieve fine glaze scraping of specific areas on small ceramic containers, thus improving the quality and refinement of the finished product.

[0034] To facilitate the secure installation of the telescopic rod 400 onto the mounting nut 410, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting nut 410 is fixedly provided on the glaze scraper body 100.

[0035] For example, the telescopic rod 400 has two ends. One end of the telescopic rod 400 is threaded onto the mounting nut 410, thereby fixing one end of the telescopic rod 400 to the glaze scraper body 100. The other end of the telescopic rod 400 is for the operator to hold.

[0036] For example, one end of the telescopic rod 400 has an external thread on its outer wall that is threaded to the mounting nut 410.

[0037] For example, the mounting nut 410 is fixed to the glaze scraper body 100 by welding, gluing or snapping.

[0038] The use of threaded installation makes the installation and removal of the telescopic rod 400 from the glaze scraper body 100 extremely simple. The operator only needs to align the threaded end of the telescopic rod 400 with the mounting nut 410 and rotate it to easily complete the installation; for removal, simply rotate the telescopic rod 400 in the opposite direction to remove it from the mounting nut 410.

[0039] After adjusting the blade 200 to the desired position, it will remain in that position due to the friction between it and the glaze scraper body 100. However, during use, the blade 200 may disengage from its original position due to factors such as impacts or inertia. To avoid inaccurate glaze application caused by the blade 200 disengaging from its original position, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the glaze scraper with controllable glaze flow further includes a locking bolt 500, which is installed at the cutter mounting position of the scraper body 100, and the end of the locking bolt 500 abuts against the cutter head 200 to lock the cutter head 200 to the scraper body 100.

[0040] For example, the scraper body 100 has a threaded hole at the tool mounting position, one end of the locking bolt 500 is installed in the threaded hole and abuts against the tool head 200, and the other end of the locking bolt 500 is easy for the operator to hold so that the operator can rotate the locking bolt 500.

[0041] During use, when the locking bolt 500 is tightened, it presses against the blade, locking it onto the glaze scraper body 100. When the blade position needs to be adjusted, first loosen the locking bolt 500 to release the blade from the glaze scraper body 100, then rotate the adjusting wheel 300 to adjust the blade's position on the glaze scraper body 100. Once the blade is adjusted to the desired position, tighten the locking bolt 500.

[0042] To achieve the sliding mounting of the cutter on the glaze scraper body 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a T-slot 140 is provided at the blade mounting position of the glaze scraper body 100; exemplaryly, the T-slot 140 is provided along the sliding path of the blade head 200.

[0043] The blade head 200 is provided with a T-shaped protrusion 210 that slides with the T-shaped groove 140. The T-shaped protrusion 210 slides with the T-shaped groove 140, thereby enabling the blade head 200 to slide on the glaze scraper body 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the adjusting wheel 300 is provided with meshing teeth, and the T-shaped protrusion 210 of the cutter head 200 is provided with mating teeth that cooperate with the meshing teeth, so that the T-shaped protrusion 210 of the cutter head 200 forms a rack. When the adjusting wheel 300 is rotated, the adjusting wheel 300 drives the cutter head 200 to move through the meshing teeth and mating teeth, thereby adjusting the position of the cutter head 200 in the T-groove 140 to control the glaze flow rate.

[0045] Unlike the above embodiments where a T-groove 140 is provided on the glaze scraper body 100 and a T-shaped protrusion 210 is provided on the blade head 200, in one embodiment, a T-shaped protrusion is provided at the blade mounting position of the glaze scraper body 100; for example, the T-shaped protrusion is provided along the sliding path of the blade head 200.

[0046] The blade 200 is provided with a T-shaped groove that slides with the T-shaped protrusion. The T-shaped protrusion slides with the T-shaped groove, thereby enabling the blade 200 to slide on the glaze scraper body 100.

[0047] To facilitate the operator's rotation of the adjusting wheel 300, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, part of the adjusting wheel 300 protrudes from the outer wall of the glaze scraper body 100, so that when the operator is holding the glaze scraper, there is no need to make significant adjustments to the hand posture. The operator can quickly find and rotate the adjusting wheel 300, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0048] Because the adjusting wheel 300 is easy to access and apply force to, operators do not need to exert excessive force or frequently adjust their hand position to operate the adjusting wheel 300 when using the glaze scraper for extended periods of ceramic production, thus effectively reducing hand and arm fatigue. This is especially important for ceramic production processes that require continuous work over long periods, improving operator comfort and efficiency, and reducing the risk of work errors and physical injuries caused by fatigue.

[0049] In one embodiment, the blade 200 is a rigid rectangular plate, which is wear-resistant and sharp, enabling precise control of the amount of glaze applied to the glazed surface. Exemplarily, the blade 200 is made of an alloy material, including but not limited to steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, or titanium-lithium alloy.

[0050] However, in another embodiment, the blade 200 is made of ceramic material.

[0051] Unlike the above embodiments where the cutter head 200 is a rigid rectangular plate, in one embodiment, the cutter head 200 is a flexible rectangular plate. The flexible rectangular plate is wear-resistant and flexible, enabling precise control of the glaze amount even on uneven surfaces. For example, the cutter head 200 is made of rubber, silicone, or acrylic sheet, etc.

[0052] As shown Figure 1 In one embodiment, as shown, the glazing scraper body 100 includes a first plate body 110, a second plate body 120, and a third plate body 130. One end of the first plate body 110 is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to one end of the second plate body 120. Exemplarily, the first plate body 110 and the second plate body 120 are fixedly connected by means such as welding or integral molding.

[0053] The other end of the second plate body 120 is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to one end of the third plate body 130 to form the glazing scraper body of a U-shaped plate body.

[0054] Exemplarily, the second plate body 120 and the third plate body 130 are fixedly connected by means such as welding or integral molding.

[0055] Exemplarily, the tool mounting position is arranged between one end of the first plate body 110 near the cutter head 200 and one end of the third plate body 130 near the cutter head 200.

[0056] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, a T-shaped groove 140 is provided at one end of the first plate body 110 near the cutter head 200; the adjusting wheel 300 is rotatably mounted at one end of the first plate body 110 near the cutter head 200; the locking bolt 500 is mounted at one end of the first plate body 110 near the cutter head 200.

[0057] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, a T-shaped groove 140 is correspondingly provided at one end of the third plate body 130 near the cutter head 200; the adjusting wheel 300 is rotatably mounted at one end of the third plate body 130 near the cutter head 200; the locking bolt 500 is mounted at one end of the third plate body 130 near the cutter head 200.

[0058] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, the mounting nut 410 is fixedly mounted on the second plate body 120, and the telescopic rod 400 is fixedly mounted on the second plate body 120 through the mounting nut 410.

[0059] As Figure 4 shown, scales are provided on the first plate body 110 and the third plate body 130 near the cutter head 200, and corresponding scales are also provided on the cutter head 200 to facilitate the operator to calibrate the adjustment position of the cutter head 200, thereby facilitating the operator to control the flow rate of the glaze.

[0060] It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art.
