Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile testing equipment, and in particular to a ceramic tile vacuum saturation device. Background Technology

[0002] In tile production, changes in surface flatness are a major quality issue in the later stages. Even tiles that pass the initial sorting test for surface flatness may experience changes in flatness after packaging and warehousing. This is because tiles still have many micropores that absorb moisture from the air, gradually causing hygroscopic expansion. As the firing stress of the tile is slowly released, this leads to variations in flatness. This can occur within one or two days, or even one or two months, affecting the tile's performance. More seriously, once product deformation occurs, it often happens in large quantities, causing significant losses to the company and severely impacting its reputation. Therefore, controlling delayed deformation in tile products is a long-term key focus in tile production.

[0003] The existing technology for detecting delayed deformation of tile surface flatness involves the following steps: first, the flatness of the tiles after firing is checked and recorded; then, the tiles are completely immersed in water, and the flatness is checked periodically after soaking for several hours or days. The data is then compared to check for changes, thus verifying whether the batch of tiles exhibits rebound deformation. However, this method is time-consuming. Therefore, the existing technology needs improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a ceramic tile vacuum saturation device, which aims to solve the technical problem of the long time required for detecting the delayed deformation of ceramic tile surface flatness in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a housing, a hot water supply component, and a vacuuming component; the hot water supply component is used to supply hot water to the housing; the vacuuming component is used to evacuate the inside of the housing; and the housing is provided with a placement component for placing a ceramic tile sample to be tested.

[0006] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a hot water supply component comprising a hot water supply device, a hot water pipe, and an inlet valve installed on the hot water pipe; the hot water supply device is connected to the housing via the hot water pipe; and a liquid level detection device is installed inside the housing.

[0007] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device further includes an internal heating device located within the housing, the internal heating device being positioned below the placement assembly; a temperature detection device is provided within the housing.

[0008] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a vacuum pump, a pressure detection device, a pressure valve, and a vacuum pipeline. The vacuum pump is connected to the interior of the housing via the vacuum pipeline. The pressure valve is located on the vacuum pipeline and is used to control the connection or disconnection of the vacuum pipeline. The pressure detection device is located inside the housing and is used to detect the pressure inside the housing.

[0009] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a placement component comprising a honeycomb plate and multiple partitions disposed on the honeycomb plate; the multiple partitions are equidistantly arranged along the length of the honeycomb plate; and the honeycomb plate is provided with multiple leakage holes.

[0010] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes at least one sample port on the side wall of the housing; and a cover for sealing the sample port is provided on the housing.

[0011] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a sealing strip circumferentially provided on the edge of the cover.

[0012] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device includes a drain pipe at the bottom of the housing.

[0014] The aforementioned ceramic tile vacuum saturation device further includes a control device, which is electrically connected to the hot water supply component and the vacuuming component respectively.

[0015] Beneficial effects: This utility model provides a ceramic tile vacuum saturation device. The shell of the ceramic tile vacuum saturation device is used to place ceramic tile samples. A vacuum state is formed inside the shell by a vacuum pumping component, which causes the air in the microcapillaries of the ceramic tile samples to be expelled. After hot water is injected, the microcapillaries quickly absorb the hot water and rapidly produce hygroscopic expansion. The deformation of the ceramic tile samples after 2 hours is consistent with the deformation value after normal soaking for several hours or days. This allows for rapid detection of whether there is a problem of delayed deformation in a batch of ceramic tiles, thereby reducing the production of large quantities of unqualified products and reducing losses.

Specifically, the ceramic tile vacuum saturation device operates as follows: First, the ceramic tile sample X to be tested is placed into the housing 1, then the vacuuming component 3 is activated to evacuate the ceramic tile sample X. After evacuation, hot water is injected into the housing through the hot water supply component 2, ensuring the hot water covers the ceramic tile sample X. Simultaneously, the pressure inside the housing 1 is monitored for changes. If a change occurs, the vacuuming component 3 is activated again to maintain the vacuum pressure. Once the vacuum pressure reaches the set value, timing begins. During immersion, the temperature of the hot water inside the housing 1 is maintained. After the immersion time is up, the ceramic tile is removed, its flatness is tested, and compared with the flatness data before saturation (before immersion), thus completing the test. This solution allows for manual control of the vacuuming and hot water injection operations.
