Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ceramic slab cleaning equipment, and in particular to a ceramic slab cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Many mobile phone components are manufactured using powder metallurgy. In the sintering stage, ceramic plates are used to arrange the products on trays before they enter the sintering furnace for sintering. However, after a period of use, ceramic powder or dust will accumulate on the surface of the ceramic plates, which will affect the sintering effect and thus lead to a decrease in product yield.

[0003] Currently, manual dry cleaning is commonly used to remove dust from ceramic slabs. However, ceramic slabs cannot be washed with water due to their material properties. Therefore, workers can only repeatedly dry brush the front and back of the ceramic slabs with a hand brush. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. In some cases, the dust removed can even pose a hazard to the workers. Utility Model Content

[0023] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5This embodiment provides a ceramic slab cleaning machine, including a frame 6, a dust collection mechanism 3, a chain conveyor belt 1 for conveying ceramic slabs, and two cleaning components 2 for cleaning dust on the ceramic slabs. The two cleaning components 2 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor belt 1. The dust collection mechanism 3, the chain conveyor belt 1, and the two cleaning components 2 are respectively assembled on the frame 6. The dust collection mechanism 3 is located below the chain conveyor belt 1, and the discharge port 14 of the chain conveyor belt 1 is provided with an inclined chute 12 installed at the tail end of the frame 6 to facilitate the conveying of the cleaned ceramic slabs to the dust collection mechanism 3 for storage.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the two cleaning components 2 includes a first active roller brush 21, a second active roller brush 22, a driven roller brush 23, and an air knife 25. The first and second active roller brushes 21 and 22 of the same group are arranged vertically, i.e., the upper roller brush and the lower roller brush, respectively. The driven roller brush 23 and the first active roller brush 21 of the same group are located on the same side, and the air knife 25 is also located on the same side as the first active roller brush 21. Of course, the driven roller brush 23 and the air knife 25 are optional.

[0027] The conveying surface 11 of the chain conveyor belt 1 is located between the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22. That is, the first active roller brush 21 and the driven roller brush 23 are located above the conveying surface 11 of the chain conveyor belt 1, and the second active roller brush 22 is located within the space enclosed by the chain conveyor belt 1.

[0028] The first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22 work together to brush off the dust on the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic plates on the conveying surface 11 that are opposite to each other. Then, the dust brushed off and fallen off the ceramic plates is collected by the dust collection mechanism 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dust collection mechanism 3 includes multiple dust collection troughs 31 disposed below the chain conveyor belt 1, and the dust inlet of each dust collection trough 31 faces upward toward the bottom of the chain conveyor belt 1.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a dust cover 7 is provided on the top of the frame 6 away from the dust collection mechanism 3 to cover the cleaning component 2 and the chain conveyor belt 1, thereby preventing the dust airflow generated by brushing and falling on the ceramic plate from overflowing. The chain conveyor belt 1 itself has a porous structure, which not only ensures that the bristles of the second active roller brush 22 can pass through the porous structure of the chain conveyor belt 1 and then directly brush the dust on the bottom of the ceramic plate, but also ensures that the dust brushed off the ceramic plate can fall into each dust collection trough 31 through the porous structure of the chain conveyor belt 1. In this way, the dust can be concentrated in the dust collection mechanism 3 to prevent dust pollution to the outside air.

[0031] Also, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22 are respectively equipped with a drive unit 24. The drive unit 24 includes a first motor 241 (such as a servo motor) and a reducer. The two first motors 241 are connected to the roller shafts of the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22 respectively through their corresponding reducers.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the driven roller brush 23 of the same group is placed above the second active roller brush 22 of the same group to clamp the ceramic plate on the conveying surface 11. Therefore, when the ceramic plate is conveyed to the area where the driven roller brush 23 is located by the chain conveyor belt 1, the driven roller brush 23 provides sufficient downward pre-pressure to the ceramic plate and clamps the ceramic plate with the cooperation of the second active roller brush 22, so as to effectively ensure the cleaning effect of the second active roller brush 22.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the air knife 25 of the same group is set on the side of the driven roller brush 23 of the same group away from the first active roller brush 21. The blowing direction of the air knife 25 corresponds to the upward facing of the ceramic plate on the conveying surface 11, so as to blow away the dust remaining on the ceramic plate.

[0034] By working together with the chain conveyor belt 1, the dust collection mechanism 3, and multiple cleaning components 2 for cleaning dust on the ceramic plate, the ceramic plate can be cleaned multiple times, ensuring that the dust on the surface of the ceramic plate is cleaned. This method saves time and effort, effectively improves cleaning efficiency and saves labor costs. At the same time, it avoids direct contact between workers and dust, thereby reducing occupational hazards for workers. Therefore, it can replace manual cleaning of ceramic plates.

[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of cleaning components 2 may be one or more groups, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] More specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the ceramic plate cleaning machine also includes a chain drive mechanism 8 for driving the chain conveyor belt 1. The chain drive mechanism 8 includes a second motor 81 (such as a geared motor), a drive sprocket 82, a driven sprocket 83, and a transmission belt unit 84. The drive sprocket 82 and the driven sprocket 83 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the frame 6, and the chain conveyor belt 1 is wound around the drive sprocket 82 and the driven sprocket 83.

[0037] During operation, the second motor 81 is connected to the drive sprocket 82 through the transmission belt unit 84 to drive the drive sprocket 82 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven sprocket 83 and the chain mesh conveyor belt 1 to rotate. This ensures that the ceramic plate is transported by the chain mesh conveyor belt 1 from the feed port 13 to its discharge port 14, and then slides into the receiving trough 9 through the inclined chute 12.

[0038] In another preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ceramic slab cleaning machine also includes a first adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the height of the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22 respectively, and a second adjustment mechanism 5 for adjusting the height of the driven roller brush 23.

[0039] The first adjustment mechanism 4 includes two first lead screw nut pairs 41 and two liftable mounting brackets 42. The first motor 241 is mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 42 via a reducer. The two ends of the brush shafts of the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22 are rotatably mounted on the two corresponding mounting brackets 42. The first lead screw nut pairs 41 drive the corresponding mounting brackets 42 to raise and lower the mounting brackets 42, thereby actively adjusting the brush height of the first active roller brush 21 and the second active roller brush 22.

[0040] The second adjustment mechanism 5 includes two second lead screw nut pairs 51, two fixed plates 52, and two liftable mounting plates 53. The two ends of the roller brush shaft of the driven roller brush 23 are rotatably mounted on the two mounting plates 53, and the second lead screw nut pairs 51 are mounted on the corresponding fixed plates 52 and drive the corresponding mounting plates 53 to raise and lower the mounting plates 53, thereby actively adjusting the roller brush height of the driven roller brush 23.

[0041] In this specific embodiment, the two cleaning components 2 are a first cleaning component and a second cleaning component, wherein the first cleaning component is close to the feed inlet 13 and the second cleaning component is close to the discharge outlet 14.

[0042] When using the ceramic slab cleaning machine, the ceramic slab to be cleaned is first placed manually on the conveyor surface 11 at the feed inlet 13, and then moves normally under the drive of the chain drive mechanism 8. Next, the ceramic slab enters the upper roller brush of the first cleaning component. At the same time, the clamping force between the upper roller brush and the ceramic slab is adjusted by the first adjustment mechanism 4 to ensure that appropriate friction is provided. At this time, the chain conveyor belt 1 and the upper roller brush of the first cleaning component together clamp the ceramic slab in the middle, and the upper roller brush of the first cleaning component performs roller brush cleaning on the upper surface of the ceramic slab. After that, the ceramic slab enters the driven roller brush 23 of the first cleaning component, and a downward pre-pressure is applied to the ceramic slab. Then it enters the area where the lower roller brush of the first cleaning component is located to perform roller brush cleaning on the lower surface of the ceramic slab. After that, it passes through the area where the air knife 25 of the first cleaning component is located to blow off the dust on the upper surface of the ceramic slab. This completes the first cleaning of the ceramic slab.

[0043] After the first cleaning is completed, the ceramic plate is driven by the chain conveyor belt 1 and enters the second cleaning component for roller brush cleaning and air knife cleaning. After completing the two cleaning actions, the cleaned ceramic plate is transported to the receiving trough 9 through the discharge port 14 and the inclined chute 12 for storage.

[0044] During the two consecutive cleaning processes of the ceramic plate, the dust brushed off the ceramic plate falls towards the powder collection tank through the blockage of the dust cover 7, and finally enters the powder collection tank through the porous structure of the chain conveyor belt 1.

[0045] In summary, the ceramic slab cleaning machine of this embodiment also has the following advantages:

[0046] 1. In this embodiment, a stainless steel chain mesh conveyor belt 1 is used, which not only has the function of product conveying, but also has a hollow function, which allows dust to fall off and be recycled over a large area.

[0047] 2. This embodiment uses a roller brush to clean the ceramic plate, which has a continuous cleaning function. The roller brush structure can ensure that the rolling friction direction is tangent to the cleaning direction of the solid powder, thus reducing the friction between them, i.e. reducing the external force applied to the ceramic plate, and thus preventing damage to the ceramic plate during cleaning.

[0048] 3. This embodiment adopts a compatible method, with the length direction as the conveying direction, and can be compatible with all ceramic plates with a length of 310mm or less, thus having strong versatility.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the method of feeding the ceramic plates is not limited to this; for example, robot vision feeding or palletizing feeding can also be used. The dust collection mechanism 3 can also use a vacuum cleaner to collect dust in a timely manner, or a liquid such as water can be provided at the bottom of the chain conveyor belt 1 to collect dust.

[0050] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
