Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible ceramic tile production technology, and in particular to an MCM eco-friendly flexible ceramic tile batching system. Background Technology

[0002] MCM flexible ceramic tiles are a new type of environmentally friendly building decoration material. Their production process requires precise proportioning and thorough mixing of various dry powder materials such as modified clay, quartz sand, and fibers with water-based emulsions, water, and various liquid additives to complete the slurry preparation. Traditional batching processes typically involve directly adding various dry powder materials and liquid additives into a large mixer for simultaneous mixing. However, when various dry powder materials with different specific gravities and particle sizes are added to the mixing tank, they easily adsorb and clump together upon encountering the liquid components, forming "clumps" that are moist on the outside but dry on the inside. These clumps are extremely difficult to break up during subsequent mixing, severely affecting the uniformity of the final product. Due to their tendency to clump, prolonged mixing time is often required to achieve basic mixing requirements, leading to reduced production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible ceramic tile batching system that can effectively prevent the formation of lumps and significantly improve mixing efficiency and quality. Summary of the Invention

[0015] This utility model discloses an MCM eco-friendly flexible ceramic tile batching system. It outputs raw materials according to a mixing ratio through dry and wet material supply units, and employs a process path of dry pre-mixing followed by dry-wet mixing. This ensures that the dry powder becomes uniform and loose before contacting the wet material, greatly reducing the risk of forming difficult-to-disperse clumps due to dry material clumping or localized over-wetting, thus improving batching efficiency.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an MCM eco-friendly flexible ceramic tile batching system, including a mixer 100 with a dry material inlet 110 and a wet material inlet 120; a dry material premixing tank 200, which is located on top of the mixer 100 and its output end is connected to the dry material inlet 110; the dry material premixing tank 200 has an inlet 210; the interior of the dry material premixing tank 200 is provided with a bottom material lifting auger 220 and at least one set of material spreading and mixing components 230; the dry material premixing tank 200 is provided with a drive mechanism 240 for driving the bottom material lifting auger 220 and the material spreading and mixing components 230 to rotate; a dry material feeding unit 300, whose output end is connected to the inlet 210; and a wet material feeding unit 400, whose output end is connected to the wet material inlet 120.

[0024] The mixer 100 is equipped with a horizontal shaft agitator inside, used to complete the final mixing of premixed dry and wet materials. The mixer 100 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this application. To facilitate the collection and discharge of materials inside the dry material premixing tank 200, the bottom of the dry material premixing tank 200 is provided with an inverted conical discharge port 250. The output end of the inverted conical discharge port 250 is connected to the dry material port 110. The inner wall of the inverted conical discharge port 250 is provided with several air nozzles 251 with their air outlets facing the output end of the inverted conical discharge port 250. The air nozzles 251 can be existing pulse air nozzles. When discharging materials, compressed air is controlled by a pulse solenoid valve, and air is sprayed every few seconds to ensure that the premixed, uniform, and loose dry powder can smoothly enter the mixer 100, providing a guarantee for good mixing with the wet materials later.

[0025] See Figure 2In one specific embodiment of this application, the bottom material lifting auger 220 includes a conveying cylinder 221 installed inside a dry material premixing tank 200. An auger shaft 222 is rotatably mounted inside the conveying cylinder 221 in the dry material premixing tank 200. The output end of the drive mechanism 240 is connected to the auger shaft 222. The lower end of the auger shaft 222 extends out of the lower opening of the conveying cylinder 221. The auger shaft 222 is provided with auger blades 223. The upper end of the conveying cylinder 221 has several discharge ports 224. When the auger shaft 222 rotates, the auger blades 223 lift the powder material deposited at the bottom of the dry material premixing tank 200 upwards until it is discharged from the discharge ports 224 at the upper end of the conveying cylinder 221, realizing vertical conveying and circulation of materials and avoiding the deposition of materials at the bottom.

[0026] Specifically, all the aforementioned material spreading and mixing components 230 include a mixing shaft 231 rotatably installed inside the dry material premixing tank 200. The output end of the drive mechanism 240 is connected to the mixing shaft 231. A material spreading disc 232 is provided on the upper end of the mixing shaft 231. The material spreading disc 232 has several material spreading holes 234 on its body, including the bottom and the wall of the disc. The material spreading disc 232 can receive the material output from several of the discharge ports 224 and spread the material out by rotation. The mixing shaft 231 is provided with mixing blades 233 located below the material spreading and receiving disc 232. In this application, the bottom material lifting auger 220 is located at the center of the dry material premixing tank 200, and two sets of material spreading and mixing components 230 can be provided, respectively located on both sides of the bottom material lifting auger 220. The discharge port 224 can be tilted downwards to guide the lifted dry material into the spreading disc 232. The material discharged from the discharge port 224 falls onto the rotating spreading and receiving disc 232. The spreading and receiving disc 232 uses centrifugal force to evenly and disperse the material through the spreading holes 234, thus achieving the first mixing. Subsequently, the scattered material passes through the area of ​​the high-speed rotating stirring blades 233 during its fall, where it is further dispersed and mixed to achieve the second mixing. The dual action of spreading and stirring ensures the extreme uniformity of the dry powder. Of course, the spreading disc 232 can also receive some of the dry material entering from the inlet 210, immediately loosening and spreading the input dry material. In addition, to prevent the spreading holes 234 from becoming blocked, the spreading disc 232 can also adopt a non-perforated edge-spreading structure, that is, a non-perforated flat disc or inclined disc, relying on centrifugal force to throw the material from the edge of the disc to achieve spreading.

[0027] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 240 includes a transmission box 241 mounted on top of the dry material premixing tank 200. A drive shaft 242 and at least one set of driven shafts 243 are rotatably mounted inside the transmission box 241. A motor 244, with its output end connected to the drive shaft 242, is mounted on the top of the transmission box 241. A drive gear 245 is mounted on the drive shaft 242, and a driven gear 246, capable of meshing with the drive gear 245, is mounted on the driven shaft 243. The output end of the drive shaft 242 is connected to an auger shaft 222, and the output end of the driven shaft 243 is connected to the corresponding stirring shaft 231. That is, the motor 244 can directly drive the auger shaft 222 to rotate and drive the stirring shaft 231 to rotate via gear transmission. The drive mechanism 240 is not limited to a gearbox; synchronous belt drive or chain drive can also be used to achieve the function of one machine driving multiple shafts. By using a single power source—a rotating motor—to synchronously drive the lifting and stirring actions, the coordination and reliability of the dry material premixing operation are ensured, resulting in a compact structure.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one specific embodiment of this application, the dry material feeding unit 300 includes several dry material bins 310, typically three, which respectively store materials such as modified clay powder, quartz sand, and fibers. The output ends of the several dry material bins 310 are respectively connected to the corresponding inlet 210 via conveying augers 320. Furthermore, the drive shafts of all the conveying augers 320 are arranged parallel to each other and connected in series via chain drive. The dry material feeding unit 300 also includes a drive motor 321 whose output end is connected to one of the drive shafts of the conveying augers 320. In this system, all drive shafts of the conveying augers 320 are connected in pairs via couplings or sprocket chains, i.e., a series drive is used. The motor drives the first auger through a reducer, and the shaft of the first auger is then connected to and drives the second auger through a coupling, chain, or gear, and so on. Alternatively, a parallel drive can be used, where the motor drives a driving wheel, which drives multiple driven wheels through multiple belts or chains, and each driven wheel drives one auger. This transmission structure is existing technology, and for details, please refer to the auger transmission structure disclosed in the horizontal intelligent material storage tank with patent number CN202020345106.6.

[0029] Furthermore, the wet material supply unit 400 includes several wet material tanks 410, the output ends of which are connected to wet material inlets 120 via conveying pipes 420. Each conveying pipe 420 is equipped with a discharge control valve 421. Each wet material tank 410 is connected to the wet material inlet 120 of the mixing tank 100 via a pump or gravity, through an independent conveying pipe 420. Each conveying pipe 420 is equipped with a discharge control valve 421. Through independently controlled pipelines and valves, various liquid additives are added to the mixing tank 100 at precise times and in precise quantities according to process requirements.

[0030] This utility model discloses an MCM eco-friendly flexible ceramic tile batching system. The system uses a dry material supply unit 300 and a wet material supply unit 400 to output raw materials according to a specified ratio. It employs a process of pre-mixing dry materials followed by wet-dry mixing, ensuring that the dry powder becomes uniform and loose before contacting the wet material. This significantly reduces the risk of clumping or localized over-wetting of the dry material, resulting in difficult-to-disperse clumps and improving batching efficiency. The dry material pre-mixing tank 200 is equipped with a bottom-lifting auger 220 to prevent the dry material from settling. The lifted dry material is then scattered and stirred by the spreading and mixing component 230, achieving a high degree of uniformity in the dry material mixture. This reduces the difficulty of subsequent wet-dry mixing, significantly shortens the total mixing time, and improves production efficiency.
