Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily-use ceramic blank processing, specifically a drying device for daily-use ceramic blanks. Background Technology

[0002] The requirements of ceramic processing technology: Ceramic processing involves steps such as clay preparation, throwing, molding, trimming, sun drying, carving, glazing, firing, and painting. After throwing, the ceramic blanks contain a lot of moisture and need to be dried to facilitate subsequent processing, improve the quality and yield of ceramic products, and therefore require a drying device for daily-use ceramic blanks.

[0003] Existing daily-use ceramic blank drying devices suffer from several drawbacks during operation. The fixed placement of the ceramic blanks is limited by the angle of light and the direction of airflow, resulting in a significant difference in the evaporation rate between the surface and interior moisture. This easily creates an internal and external humidity gradient, leading to shrinkage stress cracking. Most existing drying racks have a fixed layer spacing design, which cannot flexibly adapt to ceramic blanks of different heights and specifications. Multiple racks are required, increasing equipment costs. Furthermore, the racks lack a convenient movable structure, necessitating manual handling when adjusting the drying position, which is labor-intensive and prone to damaging the ceramic blanks. Therefore, a new daily-use ceramic blank drying device is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying device for daily-use ceramic blanks, in order to solve the problems of existing drying devices for daily-use ceramic blanks. When the blanks are fixedly placed, they are limited by the angle of light and the direction of air circulation. The difference in the evaporation rate of surface and internal moisture is large, which easily forms an internal and external humidity gradient and causes shrinkage stress cracking. Existing drying racks are mostly designed with fixed layer spacing, which cannot flexibly adapt to ceramic blanks of different heights and specifications. Multiple sets of racks are required, which increases equipment costs. The racks do not have a convenient moving structure, and manual handling is required when adjusting the drying position, which is labor-intensive and easily damages the ceramic blanks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a daily-use ceramic blank drying device, comprising a base, a drive motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the drive motor via a coupling, a sliding groove provided on the inner wall of the base, a turntable fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod, a slider provided on the side wall of the turntable, and an adjustment frame fixedly connected to the top of the turntable.

[0006] The side wall of the adjustment frame has a fixing hole, and a placement platform is installed on the side wall of the adjustment frame. Sliding blocks are arranged around the placement platform, and bolt groups pass through the inner wall of the sliding blocks.

[0007] The base has a storage compartment on its side wall, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the storage compartment, a guide plate is provided on the inner wall of the storage compartment, a moving block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder, and a caster wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block.

[0008] Preferably, the turntable forms a rotating structure with the base via a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is movably connected to the base.

[0009] Preferably, the sidewall of the slider is slotted, and the slider is engaged with the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the placement platform is connected to the adjustment frame via a sliding block to form a sliding structure, and the sliding block is engaged with the adjustment frame.

[0011] Preferably, the sidewall of the sliding block is provided with an opening, and the sliding block is threadedly connected to the adjusting frame by a bolt group.

[0012] Preferably, the movable block forms a lifting structure with the storage compartment via a cylinder, and the movable block is movably connected to the guide plate.

[0013] Preferably, the casters are symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the moving block, and the casters form a sliding structure with the storage compartment through the moving block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model, through the design of a drive motor, rotating rod, sliding groove, turntable, slider, and adjustment frame, overcomes the problem of traditional static placement where only the side of the ceramic blank facing the wind and light can dry efficiently, while the side facing away is easily blocked and forms a dead corner for ventilation, resulting in uneven drying. In contrast, this utility model only requires starting the drive motor to rotate the placement platform on the turntable. The ceramic blank on the placement platform continuously changes its orientation with the circumferential movement, avoiding the problem of slow drying on the shaded side in traditional fixed drying and the problem of delayed drying in some areas due to long-term lack of airflow or light. It also reduces the risk of cracking caused by uneven drying and ensures that the surface of the ceramic blank always maintains the optimal angle of sunlight. It uses light energy to assist in heating and drying, shortens the overall drying cycle, and increases drying efficiency.

[0016] 2. This utility model, through its adjustable frame, fixing holes, placement platform, sliding block, and bolt assembly, overcomes the limitations of traditional fixed-spacing placement frames, which can only accommodate single or a few sizes of ceramic blanks. If the frame is too high, it wastes space; if it is too low, it cannot accommodate taller blanks and may even compress or damage the wet blanks. This utility model, however, simply aligns the holes on the sidewalls of the sliding blocks around the placement platform with the fixing holes on the adjustable frame, and then uses the bolt assembly for fixation. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between placement platforms, flexibly adjusting the distance between layers according to the height of the ceramic blanks. The same drying rack can meet the drying needs of different products, eliminating the need for custom-made racks for different sizes, reducing equipment costs, and allowing each layer of ceramic blanks to receive natural light more evenly, reducing drying differences caused by uneven lighting and lowering the risk of cracking.

[0017] 3. This utility model, through the setting of a storage compartment, cylinder, guide plate, moving block and casters, pushes the casters downward by starting the cylinder until the casters contact the ground, and can use the casters to fix the device. Then, starting the cylinder again to retract the casters will allow them to be retracted into the storage compartment to prevent slippage. It can quickly transfer the device to a sheltered place, avoiding damage to the ceramic blank due to sudden environmental changes. There is no need to manually carry the heavy frame and wet blank, reducing the intensity of operation. At the same time, compared with fixed casters, the retractable casters can prevent the frame from shaking due to uneven ground or slight collisions, and prevent the wet blank from shifting or tipping over during the drying process.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A daily-use ceramic blank drying device includes a base 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1, a rotating rod 3 fixedly connected to the drive motor 2 via a coupling, a groove 4 formed on the inner wall of the base 1, a turntable 5 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 3, a slider 6 provided on the side wall of the turntable 5, and an adjustment frame 7 fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 5. The turntable 5 and the base 1 form a rotating structure through the rotating rod 3, and the rotating rod 3 is movably connected to the base 1. The side wall of the slider 6 is slotted, and the slider 6 is engaged with the groove 4. When using the device, by starting the drive motor 2, the output shaft of the drive motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate. Driven by the rotation of the rotating rod 3, when the turntable 5 rotates, the bottom slider 6 moves in a circle along the groove 4, and drives the placement platform 9 on the adjustment frame 7 to rotate, so that the surface of the ceramic blank always maintains the best angle of sunlight, which facilitates sunlight exposure and increases drying efficiency.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 A daily-use ceramic blank drying device is disclosed. The side wall of an adjusting frame 7 has fixing holes 8. A placement platform 9 is installed on the side wall of the adjusting frame 7. Sliding blocks 10 are arranged around the placement platform 9. Bolt sets 11 penetrate the inner wall of the sliding blocks 10. The placement platform 9 and the adjusting frame 7 form a sliding structure through the sliding blocks 10, and the sliding blocks 10 are engaged with the adjusting frame 7. The side wall of the sliding blocks 10 is open, and the sliding blocks 10 are threadedly connected to the adjusting frame 7 through the bolt sets 11. In use, the sliding blocks 10 around the placement platform 9 are inserted into the sliding grooves on the side wall of the adjusting frame 7. Then, the placement platform 9 is pushed to move the sliding blocks 10 along the sliding grooves. When the through holes on the side wall of the sliding blocks 10 are fully aligned with the corresponding fixing holes 8 on the adjusting frame 7, they are fixed using the bolt sets 11. This allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between layers according to the height of the ceramic blank, accommodating ceramic blanks of different heights, allowing each layer of ceramic blank to receive natural light more evenly, reducing drying differences caused by uneven light exposure, and lowering the risk of cracking.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5A drying device for daily-use ceramic blanks includes a storage compartment 12 on the side wall of a base 1. A cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage compartment 12, and a guide plate 14 is provided on the inner wall of the storage compartment 12. A movable block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 13, and a caster wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 15. The movable block 15 and the storage compartment 12 form a lifting structure through the cylinder 13, and the movable block 15 is movably connected to the guide plate 14. The caster wheel 16 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the movable block 15, and the caster wheel 16 is connected to the movable block 15. The device forms a sliding structure with the storage compartment 12. When using the device, the cylinder 13 is activated to push the moving block 15, which moves the moving block 15 down along the guide plate 14. During the downward movement of the moving block 15, the bottom universal wheel 16 gradually extends out from the bottom opening of the storage compartment 12. When the universal wheel 16 is in complete contact with the ground, the base 1 can be lifted. Then, the universal wheel 16 can be used to fix the device. After the movement is completed, the cylinder 13 is activated to retract the universal wheel 16 back into the storage compartment 12 to prevent accidental slippage during drying.

[0029] Working principle: In use, first move the device to a suitable position, then activate cylinder 13 to push moving block 15, causing moving block 15 to move downward along guide plate 14, which in turn drives caster 16 downward until caster 16 contacts the ground, lifting base 1. Then, use caster 16 to move the device. After the relocation is complete, activate cylinder 13 again to retract, allowing caster 16 to retract into storage compartment 12 to prevent slippage. Then, insert sliding blocks 10 around the placement platform 9 into sliding grooves on the side wall of adjustment frame 7, and align the holes on the side wall of sliding block 10 with the fixing holes 8 on adjustment frame 7. After fixing with bolt group 11, the spacing between the placement platforms 9 can be adjusted to accommodate ceramic blanks of different heights. Then, the ceramic blanks are placed on the placement platforms 9 for drying. During the drying process, the drive motor 2 can be started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate. Driven by the rotation of the rotating rod 3, the turntable 5 moves in a circle along the slide groove 4 using the slider 6, which in turn drives the placement platform 9 on the adjusting frame 7 to rotate, facilitating sunlight exposure and increasing drying efficiency. This completes the use of the device. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
