Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic manufacturing technology, specifically to an automatic blank-removing device for ceramic roll forming. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic green bodies are the basic structural bodies of ceramic products formed from raw materials such as kaolin and quartz through molding and high-temperature sintering. Their preparation involves processes such as raw material crushing, iron removal, and plasticizing. Incomplete iron removal will result in surface defects such as spots. Glazing creates a non-absorbent surface on the green body, while unglazed green bodies retain a rough texture. During sintering, the green body undergoes a densification phase transformation. Solid-phase sintering eliminates pores through grain boundary movement, while liquid-phase sintering relies on the molten liquid phase to accelerate densification. The pore structure of the green body can be controlled by adding pore-forming agents or gas foaming agents, directly affecting the mechanical strength and functional properties of ceramic products.

[0003] However, existing automatic ceramic blank removal equipment still has shortcomings. Specifically, existing automatic ceramic blank removal equipment relies on suction cups to hold the blank, which has poor adhesion and the ceramic blank is easy to fall off. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic blank-removing device for ceramic roll forming includes a fixed base, a material-removing mechanism on the top of the fixed base for picking up ceramic blanks, a controller fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base, and terminal blocks installed on the outer wall of the fixed base.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material handling mechanism includes a robotic arm fixedly connected to the top of a fixed base. A material handling sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the robotic arm at a position away from the fixed base. A vacuum suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material handling sleeve. A guide tube is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup. A micro air pump is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide tube inside the material handling sleeve. A connecting base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material handling sleeve.

A servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate at a position corresponding to the adjusting gear. An adjusting motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting base at a position corresponding to the limiting plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing base is made of stainless steel, and casters are installed at the bottom corners of the fixing base, and the casters have a self-locking function.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing base, and the controller is electrically connected to the terminal block.

[0010] The above technical solution allows workers to easily move the fixed base using the handle.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material picking sleeve, the limiting plate, and the support plate are all made of aluminum alloy. The limiting plate, the support plate, and the adjusting gear are all provided in four sets. The length of the limiting plate is adapted to the height of the ceramic blank. The connection between the servo motor and the adjusting gear, and the connection between the adjusting motor and the limiting plate are all fixed connections.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the robotic arm is a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robotic arm, the pallet has a T-shaped structure design, the pallet extends through and beyond the limiting plate, and the connection between the adjusting gear and the sliding rack is an meshing connection.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, silicone pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the material-picking sleeve and the top of the tray. Multiple sets of vacuum suction cups are provided. A through groove is opened inside the material-picking sleeve at the corresponding position of the micro air pump.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the silicone pad at the bottom of the picking sleeve can block the gap between the inner wall of the ceramic blank and the picking sleeve, maintaining airtightness, and the silicone pad at the top of the pallet can prevent the ceramic blank from being damaged by the pallet.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, an automatic ceramic rolling forming blank removal device is set up. The material removal mechanism in the device is used to pick up the blank. The controller starts the adjusting motor, which drives the limiting plate to rotate upward. When the limiting plate rotates to a horizontal state, the robotic arm moves the material removal sleeve into the blank. The vacuum suction cup at the bottom of the material removal sleeve presses against the bottom of the inner wall of the blank. The controller starts the micro air pump, which extracts the air from the vacuum suction cup through the guide pipe. The vacuum suction cup will suck up the blank. The robotic arm drives the material removal sleeve to move upward. The material removal sleeve drives the blank to rise. The adjusting motor drives the limiting plate to rotate downward. When the limiting plate rotates to a vertical state, the controller starts the servo motor, which drives the adjusting gear to rotate. The rotating adjusting gear pushes the support plate to move through the sliding rack. The support plate is pushed to the bottom of the blank and supports the blank. The blank is not easy to fall off. This solves the problem that the existing automatic ceramic blank removal relies on the suction cup to hold the blank, which has poor adhesion and the ceramic blank is easy to fall off.

[0026] The fixed base 1 is made of stainless steel, and casters are installed at the bottom corners of the fixed base 1, and the casters have a self-locking function.

[0027] Both sides of the fixed base 1 are fixedly connected to handles, which make it easy for workers to push the fixed base 1 to move. The controller 3 is connected to the terminal block 4 by electrical connection.

[0028] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The material handling mechanism 2 includes a robotic arm 201 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base 1. A material handling sleeve 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the robotic arm 201 at a position away from the fixed base 1. A vacuum suction cup 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material handling sleeve 202. A guide tube 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum suction cup 203. A micro air pump 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide tube 204 and inside the material handling sleeve 202. A connecting seat 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material handling sleeve 202. The connecting seat 206 is located inside the material handling sleeve at a position away from the material handling sleeve. A limiting plate 207 is rotatably connected at position 202. A support plate 208 is slidably connected inside the limiting plate 207 and at a position away from the connecting seat 206. A sliding rack 209 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 208. An adjusting gear 210 is rotatably connected inside the limiting plate 207 and at a position close to the support plate 208. A servo motor 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting plate 207 at a position corresponding to the adjusting gear 210. An adjusting motor 212 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting seat 206 at a position corresponding to the limiting plate 207.

[0029] The material handling sleeve 202, the limiting plate 207, and the support plate 208 are all made of aluminum alloy. There are four sets of limiting plate 207, support plate 208, and adjusting gear 210. The length of the limiting plate 207 is adapted to the height of the ceramic blank. The servo motor 211 is fixedly connected to the adjusting gear 210, and the adjusting motor 212 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 207.

[0030] The robotic arm 201 is a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robotic arm, the pallet 208 has a T-shaped structure design, the pallet 208 extends through and to the outside of the limiting plate 207, and the connection between the adjusting gear 210 and the sliding rack 209 is a meshing connection.

[0031] Silicone pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the material-receiving sleeve 202 and the top of the support plate 208. The silicone pad at the bottom of the material-receiving sleeve 202 can block the gap between the inner wall of the ceramic blank and the material-receiving sleeve 202 to maintain airtightness. The silicone pad at the top of the support plate 208 can prevent the ceramic blank from being damaged by the support plate 208. Multiple sets of vacuum suction cups 203 are provided. A through groove is opened inside the material-receiving sleeve 202 at the corresponding position of the micro air pump 205. The micro air pump 205, servo motor 211, and regulating motor 212 are all electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the automatic ceramic rolling forming blank removal equipment designed in this scheme is running, the controller 3 starts the regulating motor 212, which drives the limiting plate 207 to rotate upward. When the limiting plate 207 rotates to a horizontal position, the robotic arm 201 moves the material removal sleeve 202 into the blank. The vacuum suction cup 203 at the bottom of the material removal sleeve 202 presses against the bottom of the inner wall of the blank. The controller 3 starts the micro air pump 205, which extracts the air from the vacuum suction cup 203 through the guide pipe 204. The vacuum suction cup 203 then sucks up the blank. The robotic arm 201 drives the material removal sleeve 202 to move upward, which in turn lifts the blank. The regulating motor 212 drives the limiting plate 207 to rotate downward. When the limiting plate 207 rotates to a vertical position, the controller 3 starts the servo motor 211, which drives the regulating gear 210 to rotate. The rotating adjusting gear 210 pushes the pallet 208 to move via the sliding rack 209. The pallet 208 is pushed to the bottom of the billet and supports it. After the billet moves to the next station, the controller 3 starts the servo motor 211 and the adjusting motor 212. The servo motor 211 drives the adjusting gear 210 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating adjusting gear 210 drives the pallet 208 to move in the opposite direction via the sliding rack 209. The pallet 208 moves away from the billet. The adjusting motor 212 drives the limiting plate 207 to rotate upward. The limiting plate 207 rotates to a horizontal position. The robotic arm 201 drives the picking sleeve 202 and the billet to fall onto the worktable. The micro air pump 205 sends outside air into the vacuum suction cup 203 through the guide pipe 204. The vacuum suction cup 203 no longer holds the billet. The robotic arm 201 drives the picking sleeve 202 to detach from the billet.

[0033] The controller 3, terminal 4, robotic arm 201, micro air pump 205, servo motor 211, and regulating motor 212 used in this utility model are all existing known electrical devices, and all can be purchased and used directly on the market. Their structure, circuit, and control principle are all existing known technologies. Therefore, the structure, circuit, and control principle of the controller 3, terminal 4, micro air pump 205, robotic arm 201, servo motor 211, and regulating motor 212 will not be described in detail here.
