Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of adding glaze to the top surface of a glazing vessel, and in particular to a mounting bracket for a pressure-stabilizing funnel used for ceramic glazing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the pressure-stabilizing funnel mounting bracket, in conjunction with the glazing device 1, can apply a glaze film to the surface of ceramic blanks (tiles, slabs, daily-use porcelain). After the glazed ceramic blanks are sintered at high temperature, ceramic products with high strength, good texture, and high gloss can be obtained. The cooperation relationship between the pressure-stabilizing funnel mounting bracket and the glazing device 1 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0003] The structure of the pressure stabilizing funnel mounting bracket is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes a fixed column 2 fixed to the ground and a movable seat 3 fixed to the upper end of the fixed column 2 by locking screws. Two horizontal support rods 4 are fixedly connected to one end of the movable seat 3. A pressure stabilizing funnel 5 is slidably installed between the two horizontal support rods 4. A valve 6 located above the glazing device is connected to the bottom of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5. A certain gap is left between the bottom port of the valve 6 and the top surface of the glazing device 1. The pressure stabilizing funnel 5 contains a certain volume and weight of glaze.

[0004] The method for applying a glaze film to the surface of a ceramic blank by using the pressure-stabilizing funnel mounting bracket in conjunction with the glazing device is as follows: The worker opens valve 6 on the mounting bracket of the pressure-stabilizing funnel. Under its own gravity, the glaze in the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5 passes through valve 6 and the bottom port of valve 6 in sequence, and finally falls onto the top surface of the glazing device 1. The glazing device thins and homogenizes the glaze falling on it. The homogenized glaze falls from the blade at the front edge of the glazing device 1 to form a uniform glaze curtain. Multiple ceramic blanks are conveyed by the belt of the glazing conveyor line. When the ceramic blanks pass through the glaze curtain at a uniform speed from below the blade, a uniform glaze film can be formed on the surface of the ceramic blanks.

[0005] Production practice has proven that the height of the bottom port of valve 6 below pressure stabilizing funnel 5 from the top surface of glazing device 1 and the horizontal position of valve 6 are closely related to the quality of the glaze curtain formed and the quality of the glaze film obtained on the surface of the brick blank. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the bottom port of valve 6 and the top surface of glazing device 5 and the horizontal position of valve 6 to ensure the glazing quality of ceramic blanks.

[0006] Method for workers to adjust the height and horizontal position of valve 6 in pressure-stabilizing funnel 5: When it is necessary to adjust the height of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5, two workers stand above the glazing conveyor line. One worker, A, holds pressure stabilizing funnel 5 with his hand, while the other worker, B, uses a tool to loosen the locking screw between movable seat 3 and fixed column 2. Then, worker B raises or lowers movable seat 3, causing it to move up or down relative to fixed column 2. Movable seat 3 drives horizontal support rod 4 and pressure stabilizing funnel 5 to move up or down synchronously, and pressure stabilizing funnel 5 drives valve 6 to move up or down synchronously. After the bottom port of valve 6 is adjusted to the appropriate position from the top surface of glazing device 1, worker B tightens the locking screw between movable seat and fixed column 2 to lock it in place.

[0007] When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5, worker A pushes or pulls pressure stabilizing funnel 5 by hand to move pressure stabilizing funnel 5 to the right or left, so that pressure stabilizing funnel 5 moves laterally on horizontal support rod 4. After adjusting valve 6 to the appropriate position, the adjustment of the horizontal position of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5 is completed.

[0008] However, although this pressure-stabilizing funnel mounting bracket can adjust the height and horizontal position of the regulating valve 6 of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5, the following technical defects still emerge during actual adjustment: First, the worker needs to loosen the locking screw on the movable seat 3, then move the movable seat 3 up or down, and finally tighten the locking screw to fix the movable seat 3 on the fixed column 2 before the height of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5 can be adjusted. This multi-step height adjustment process takes a long time, reducing the efficiency of adjusting the height of the valve 6 of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5.

[0009] II. Since the glaze inside the pressure stabilizing funnel 5 weighs 40-50 kg, the overall weight is large. Manually moving the movable seat to raise and lower it, and pushing and pulling the pressure stabilizing funnel 5 to move it horizontally, are quite strenuous, which undoubtedly increases the workload of the workers.

[0010] III. The pressure stabilizing funnel 5 is usually installed above the glazing conveyor line and the glazing sprayer. The pressure stabilizing funnel 5 is about 2.1 to 2.4 meters above the ground. When adjusting, workers need to climb up the glazing line to operate it. In addition, the glazing line and the glazing sprayer 1 are usually in operation. Therefore, there are certain safety hazards.

[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an installation bracket that improves the efficiency of adjusting the height of the pressure-stabilizing funnel, reduces the workload of workers, and makes operation safer. Utility Model Content

[0012] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a mounting bracket for a pressure-stabilizing funnel used for ceramic glazing that improves the efficiency of adjusting the height of the pressure-stabilizing funnel, reduces the workload of workers, and makes operation safer and more convenient.

[0013] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a mounting bracket for a pressure-stabilizing funnel for ceramic glazing, which includes a lower column assembly, a fine-tuning mechanism, and an upper column assembly connected sequentially from bottom to top. The fine-tuning mechanism includes a horizontal fine-tuning component and a vertical fine-tuning component.

[0018] The pressure stabilizing funnel is fixed with suspension plates on both the front and rear walls. The two suspension plates are respectively suspended on two horizontal support rods to support the pressure stabilizing funnel.

[0019] The screw is also threaded with a horizontal locking nut located outside the baffle.

[0020] A vertical locking nut is also threaded onto the external thread of the fixing seat, and the vertical locking nut is located directly below the sleeve.

[0021] This invention has the following advantages: it improves the efficiency of adjusting the height of the pressure stabilizing funnel, reduces the workload of workers, and the operation positions for horizontal and vertical adjustment are ergonomically designed, allowing operators to easily complete horizontal or vertical adjustments simply by standing on the ground, thus ensuring high safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description: like Figures 3-18 As shown, a mounting bracket for a pressure-stabilizing funnel used for ceramic glazing includes a lower column assembly 7, a fine-tuning mechanism, and an upper column assembly 8 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The fine-tuning mechanism includes a horizontal fine-tuning component 9 and a vertical fine-tuning component 10. The horizontal fine-tuning component 9 includes a base plate 11 and two side strips 12 fixed to the top surface of the base plate 11. A cover plate 13 is fixed between the top surfaces of the two side strips 12, and a sliding plate 14 is slidably installed between the two side strips 12. A baffle is fixed to the left side of the base plate 11, and a screw 15 is threadedly connected to the baffle. The inner end of the screw 15 is threadedly connected to the sliding plate 14, and a horizontal locking nut 33 located outside the baffle is also threadedly connected to the screw 15. A threaded hole is opened in the sliding plate 14, and the sliding plate 14 is threadedly connected to the screw 15 through the threaded hole. A handwheel 30 is fixed to the outer end of the screw 15.

[0024] The vertical fine-tuning component 10 includes a fixed seat 16 fixed on the top surface of the sliding plate 14. The outer cylindrical surface of the fixed seat 16 has an external thread 17. The inner wall of the inner hole of the fixed seat 16 has a guide groove 18 arranged along its axial direction. A lifting seat 19 passes through the inner hole of the fixed seat 16. An anti-rotation screw 20 embedded in the guide groove 18 is fixed on the cylindrical surface of the lower end of the lifting seat 19. The upper end of the lifting seat 19 extends outside the inner hole of the fixed seat 16, and an annular groove 21 is formed on the cylindrical surface of the extended end. A sleeve 22 is provided outside the fixed seat 16. The inner wall of the sleeve 22 has an internal thread 23. The internal thread 23 of the sleeve 22 is connected to the external thread of the fixed seat 16. A retaining plate 24 is fixed on the top surface of the sleeve 22 and is engaged in the annular groove 21 of the lifting seat 19. A plurality of handles 31 are fixed on the outer cylindrical surface of the sleeve 22 at intervals along its circumference. A vertical locking nut 34 is also threaded onto the external thread 17 of the fixed base 16, and the vertical locking nut 34 is located directly below the sleeve 22.

[0025] The lower section component 7 of the column includes a lower section steel pipe 25. The bottom end of the lower section steel pipe 25 is connected to a clamp-type foot 26 that is anchored to the ground. The top end of the lower section steel pipe 25 is connected to a lower clamp plate 27, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The upper section assembly 8 of the column includes an upper steel pipe 28, the bottom end of which is connected to an upper clamping plate 29, which is fixed to the top surface of the lifting seat 19. A movable seat 3 is fixed on the upper steel pipe 28, and two horizontal support rods 4 are connected to the end face of the movable seat 3. A pressure stabilizing funnel 5 is slidably installed between the two horizontal support rods 4. A valve 6 is connected to the bottom of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5. Suspension plates 32 are fixed on both the front and rear walls of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5, and the two suspension plates 32 are respectively suspended on the two horizontal support rods 4 to support the pressure stabilizing funnel 5.

[0026] The method for applying a glaze film to the surface of a ceramic blank using this mounting bracket in conjunction with the glazing applicator is as follows: Open valve 6 at the bottom of the pressure stabilizing funnel. Under its own gravity, the glaze in the pressure stabilizing funnel 5 passes through valve 6 and the bottom port of valve 6 in sequence, and finally falls onto the top surface of the glazing device 1. The glaze is thinned and homogenized on the top surface of the glazing device 1, and a uniform glaze curtain is formed at the edge of the glazing device 1. The ceramic tile blank is transported by the glazing conveyor line to the area below the edge of the glazing device 1. When the ceramic tile blank passes through the glaze curtain, a uniform glaze film is formed on the surface of the ceramic blank, thus completing the glazing operation.

[0027] The method for workers to adjust the height and horizontal position of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5 is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal position of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5, the worker stands on the ground and turns handwheel 30 clockwise or counterclockwise. Handwheel 30 drives screw 15 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and screw 15 drives sliding plate 14 to move left or right between the two side strips 12. Sliding plate 14 drives vertical fine-tuning component 10 on it to move left or right simultaneously. Vertical fine-tuning component 10 drives upper column component 8 to move left or right simultaneously. Upper column component 8 drives horizontal support rod 4 and pressure stabilizing funnel 5 to move left or right simultaneously. After valve 6 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the worker stops turning handwheel 30 and then tightens horizontal locking nut 33 to the right so that horizontal locking nut 33 abuts against the outer end face of baffle to prevent screw 15 from loosening, thus finally completing the adjustment of the horizontal position of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5.

[0028] In the process of adjusting the horizontal position, the worker only needs to turn the handwheel 30 to quickly change the horizontal position of the valve 6 of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5, without having to manually push or pull the pressure stabilizing funnel 5, thus greatly reducing the worker's workload. In addition, the worker only needs to stand on the ground and turn the handwheel 30 to complete the adjustment of the horizontal position of the valve 6 of the pressure stabilizing funnel 5, without having to climb a ladder to the top of the glazing line to operate, which has the characteristics of high safety.

[0029] When it is necessary to adjust the height of valve 6 of pressure stabilizing funnel 5, the worker stands on the ground and turns handle 31 clockwise or counterclockwise by hand. Handle 31 drives sleeve 22 to rotate around the center line of fixed seat 16. With the cooperation of internal thread 23 of sleeve 22 and external thread 17 of fixed seat 16, sleeve 22 moves upward relative to the stationary fixed seat 16. At the same time, sleeve 22 drives clamping plate 24 to move upward, clamping plate 24 drives lifting seat 19 to move upward in a straight line, and anti-rotation screw 20 of lifting seat 19 moves upward along guide groove 18 of fixed seat 16 in a straight line. Simultaneously, the lifting seat 19 also drives the upper column assembly 8 to move upward in a straight line. The upper column assembly 8 drives the horizontal support rod 4 and the pressure stabilizing funnel 5 to move upward in a straight line in sync. When the height of the bottom port of the valve 6 from the top surface of the glazing device 1 is adjusted to a suitable position, the worker stops turning the handle 31. Then, the worker tightens the height locking nut 34 below the sleeve 22 upward so that the height locking nut 34 presses against the bottom surface of the sleeve 22 to prevent the sleeve 22 from loosening. This finally completes the adjustment of the height of the valve 6 in the pressure stabilizing funnel 5.

[0030] During height adjustment, the worker only needs to turn handle 31 to quickly change the height of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5 from the top surface of the glazing vessel 1, compared to... Figure 2The pressure-stabilizing funnel mounting bracket shown eliminates the need for workers to loosen the locking screws on the movable seat 3 and then move the movable seat 3 to adjust the height of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5. This eliminates most of the height adjustment process, allowing for quick height adjustment of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5 and significantly improving the efficiency of adjusting the height of the valve 6 of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5. Furthermore, workers can adjust the height of the valve 6 of the pressure-stabilizing funnel 5 simply by standing on the ground and turning the handle 31, without needing to climb a ladder above the glazing line, thus ensuring high safety.
