Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic glazing technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency glazing machine for ceramic tableware. Background Technology

[0002] Glazing machines are a common type of glazing equipment in ceramic production. They achieve uniform glazing by immersing the ceramic body into glaze slurry and are widely used in large-scale production scenarios such as tableware and building ceramics. The glazing operation involves a robotic arm immersing the ceramic body vertically or in an arc into the glaze slurry, using the adhesion of the glaze slurry to form a uniform glaze layer.

[0003] The existing glazing machines mentioned above have the following drawbacks: they occupy a large area due to the use of robotic arms and conveying equipment, and require a large glaze system (glaze tank); the efficiency of the robotic arms needs to be improved. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency glazing machine for ceramic tableware. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, improve the existing glazing machine's robotic arm-based glazing scheme, reduce the overall area occupied by the glazing system, and further enhance efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-efficiency glazing machine for ceramic tableware includes a glaze tank and a conveyor belt. A glazing tank is installed on one side of the glaze tank. A glazing conveying mechanism is installed between the bottom of the glaze tank and the top of the glazing tank. Glazing windows are symmetrically opened through the periphery of the glazing tank for the conveyor belt to pass through. A collection funnel is installed on the outside of the glazing window. A first conveying pump is installed between the glazing tank and the glaze tank. Several glazing pipes are installed on the top of the glazing tank above the glazing windows.

[0007] Furthermore, the conveyor track is made of stainless steel, and a spray cleaning device is installed on the outer periphery of the rear end of the conveyor track.

[0008] Furthermore, the glazing pot is mounted on the glazing platform, and the glaze container is mounted on a raised platform installed at the top of the glazing platform.

[0009] Furthermore, a horizontal support is installed at the top of the glaze tank, a motor is installed at the top of the horizontal support, and the output end of the motor extends into the interior of the glaze tank where a stirrer is installed.

[0010] Furthermore, a glaze delivery pipe is installed near the top of the glaze tank, which is connected to a glaze storage device via a valve. An overflow prevention pipe is installed near the top of the glaze tank below the inlet of the glaze delivery pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the glaze delivery mechanism includes a second delivery pump, which is installed at the input end of the glaze tank to access the glaze inside the glaze tank, and a multi-way valve is installed at the output end of the second delivery pump for connecting the glaze application pipe.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency glazing machine for ceramic tableware, including a glaze tank 1 and a conveyor belt 2. A glazing tank 3 is installed on one side of the glaze tank 1. A glazing conveying mechanism 4 is installed between the bottom of the glaze tank 1 and the top of the glazing tank 3. Glazing windows 5 are symmetrically opened through the periphery of the glazing tank 3. The glazing windows 5 are used for the conveyor belt 2 to pass through. A collection funnel 6 is installed on the outside of the glazing windows 5. A first conveying pump 7 is installed between the glazing tank 3 and the glaze tank 1. Several glazing pipes 8 are installed on the top of the glazing tank 3 above the glazing windows 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the glaze tank 1 is used to store glaze and provide raw materials for the entire glazing process. The glazing tank 3 is the main place for glazing operations. The design of the glazing window 5 allows the conveyor belt 2 to pass smoothly through and transport the ceramic tableware to be glazed to the glazing area. The function of the collecting funnel 6 is to collect the excess glaze that drips from the ceramic tableware during the glazing process, avoiding glaze waste and pollution of the working environment. The glazing conveying mechanism 4 is responsible for conveying the glaze from the glaze tank 1 to the glazing tank 3 and glazing the ceramic tableware directly through the glazing pipe 8. By reasonably setting its quantity and position, it can ensure that the surface of the ceramic tableware is glazed evenly. The first conveying pump 7 is used to continuously pump the glaze at the bottom of the glazing tank 3 back to the glaze tank 1 to realize the recycling of glaze.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the conveyor belt 2 is made of stainless steel. A spray cleaning device is installed on the outer periphery of the rear end of the conveyor belt 2. Stainless steel belts are chosen because they have advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life. They can adapt to the corrosive working environment of glaze and ensure long-term stable operation. The function of the spray cleaning device is to clean the conveyor belt 2 after the ceramic tableware has been glazed, to prevent glaze residue on the conveyor belt 2 from affecting the subsequent conveying and glazing quality of ceramic tableware after drying. It should be noted that the spray cleaning device is designed to be located after the area where the ceramic tableware is removed.

[0038] Glazing tank 3 is installed on glazing platform 9, and glaze tank 1 is installed on lifting platform 91 installed on top of glazing platform 9. Installing glazing tank 3 and glaze tank 1 on glazing platform 9 and lifting platform 91 respectively can make reasonable use of space and make the whole equipment structure more compact. On the other hand, by raising glaze tank 1 through lifting platform 91, it is convenient to use gravity and conveying pump to realize the conveying and circulation of glaze.

[0039] A horizontal support 11 is installed at the top of the glaze tank 1, and a motor 12 is installed at the top of the horizontal support 11. The output end of the motor 12 extends into the interior of the glaze tank 1 and a stirrer 13 is installed thereon. The motor 12 drives the stirrer 13 to rotate, which can stir the glaze in the glaze tank 1, prevent the glaze from settling and separating, ensure the uniformity of the glaze, and thus improve the glazing quality.

[0040] A glaze tank 1 is equipped with a glaze delivery pipe 14 near its top, which is connected to a glaze storage device via a valve. An overflow prevention pipe 15 is installed near the top of the glaze tank 1 below the inlet of the glaze delivery pipe 14. The glaze delivery pipe 14 is used to replenish glaze into the glaze tank 1. The valve can control the amount and speed of glaze replenishment. The function of the overflow prevention pipe 15 is to prevent excess glaze from overflowing the glaze tank 1 if the glaze level in the glaze tank 1 is too high during the glaze delivery process, thus avoiding accidents (such as blockage).

[0041] The glaze delivery mechanism 4 includes a second delivery pump 41, which is installed at the input end of the glaze tank 1 to receive the glaze inside the glaze tank 1. A multi-way valve 42 is installed at the output end of the second delivery pump 41. The multi-way valve 42 is used to connect the glazing pipes 8. The second delivery pump 41 extracts the glaze from the glaze tank 1 and distributes it to each glazing pipe 8 through the multi-way valve 42.

[0042] The bottom of the glazing tube 8 has a lower glazing groove 81 along its length. The design of the lower glazing groove 81 allows the glaze to flow out more evenly from the bottom of the glazing tube 8, forming a fine glaze curtain. When the ceramic tableware passes through the glazing window 5, it can be evenly adhered to the surface of the ceramic tableware, improving the uniformity and quality of glazing.

[0043] The collecting funnel 6 is inclined at the end away from the glazing window 5, which is higher than the glazing window 5. This inclined structure makes it easy for the collected excess glaze to flow into the designated recycling container along the collecting funnel 6, which facilitates the subsequent recycling and reuse of the glaze.

[0044] The input end of the first delivery pump 7 is connected to the bottom of the glazing tank 3 through a pipe, and the output end is connected to the bottom of the glaze tank 1 through a pipe. The first delivery pump 7 is installed below the elevation platform 91. The first delivery pump 7 draws the glaze deposited at the bottom of the glazing tank 3 back to the glaze tank 1 to realize the recycling of the glaze. At the same time, installing the first delivery pump 7 below the elevation platform 91 can make full use of the space and make the overall structure of the equipment more reasonable.

[0045] In the workflow of this utility model, when using a high-efficiency ceramic tableware glazing machine, first open the valve on the glaze delivery pipe 14 and add an appropriate amount of glaze to the glaze tank 1 until the glaze liquid level reaches a suitable height. During the process of adding glaze, pay attention to the anti-overflow pipe 15 to prevent the glaze from overflowing.

[0046] Then, start motor 12, which drives stirrer 13 to rotate and stir the glaze in glaze tank 1 to keep the glaze in a uniform state. After stirring for a period of time, and ensuring that the glaze is uniform and free of sediment, start second delivery pump 41. Second delivery pump 41 draws out the glaze in glaze tank 1 and distributes it to each glazing pipe 8 through multi-port valve 42. The glaze flows out from the lower glaze groove 81 at the bottom of the glazing pipe 8 and forms a uniform glaze curtain above the glazing window 5.

[0047] Next, the ceramic tableware to be glazed is placed on the conveyor belt 2 and the conveyor belt 2 is started. The conveyor belt 2 slowly transports the ceramic tableware to the glazing window 5. When the ceramic tableware passes through the glazing window 5, it comes into contact with the glaze curtain. The glaze is evenly adhered to the surface of the ceramic tableware, completing the glazing process. During the glazing process, the excess glaze dripping from the ceramic tableware will be collected by the collection funnel 6 and flow into the recycling container along the inclined structure of the collection funnel 6.

[0048] During the operation of the glazing tank 3, the first delivery pump 7 draws the glaze from the bottom of the glazing tank 3 back to the glaze tank 1, realizing the recycling of the glaze.

[0049] After the ceramic tableware is glazed, it continues to be transported to the rear end via conveyor belt 2. After being unloaded by the external unloading mechanism, conveyor belt 2 enters the spray cleaning device (an enclosed space with a sludge collection trough at the bottom) and is activated to spray and clean the conveyor belt 2, removing any residual glaze and ensuring its cleanliness for continued use. The entire glazing process is then complete, and the above steps can be repeated for glazing ceramic tableware according to production needs.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
