Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the dry pressing of a granular or powdery material, to a device suitable to be used to perform pressing and to a pressing apparatus which comprises the device.
  • a pressing apparatus suitable to perform said process comprises: a main structure for containing a pressing force, which generally has a ring-like shape; loading means to load said material into a lower mold; leveling means for leveling an upper surface of said material loaded in a lower mold; vertical movement means for lifting or lowering a bottom of said lower mold.
  • the loading means and the leveling means are preferably formed by a single body, generally termed truck or tray, which comprises a grid which can slide for loading and a front end which performs the leveling during backward motion.
  • the present invention relates to an extraction device which comprises hydraulic pistons for vertical movement which are arranged so as to change a depth of a lower mold, and thus raise a molded part, up to the level of the upper edge of the lower mold so that the molded parts can be extracted from the mold and moved to the level of a substantially horizontal surface, also termed mold template plane, on which said upper edge is arranged.
  • the truck can move along the template plane between a position arranged below a hopper for feeding the material to be pressed and a position which lies above the mold to be filled. During the advancement of the truck, the finished part is furthermore unloaded by making it slide on the template plane.
  • the bottom of the lower mold is supported by a moving body which is arranged above a base. Said moving body can be lifted vertically by means of first pistons so as to directly raise or lower the bottom of the mold for loading and extraction.
  • the lower face of the moving body rests directly on the base in order to discharge thereon the pressing force.
  • said moving body After the extraction of the finished part from the mold, during the loading of the material to be pressed, said moving body does not descend until it rests on the base, but arranges itself at a specific height which determines the volume of the mold which can be loaded with material and then leveled at the top. Then the moving body descends until it rests on the base, which directly bears all the pressing force; the upper molds then descend and pressing occurs. The height at which the moving body stops for loading thus determines the vertical thickness of the finished part.
  • the upper molds are supported by a movable ram which is actuated for example by a hydraulic piston which can provide the pressing thrust.
  • said pressing apparatus is suitable for the dry pressing of ceramic materials to be subsequently baked in kilns which operate continuously at high temperature.
  • Said kilns which are generally of the type with rollers, require a rather long startup time before they reach their normal operating conditions, and therefore cannot be shut down easily in all those cases in which an interruption in production occurs, typically if the size of the molds and/or the type of production must be changed. In this case it is in fact necessary to test and adapt the molds and/or the type of loading and/or the extent of the descent of the molds during loading, etc., with high precision in order to reduce the chances of rejects once production resumes. These tests can require as much as a couple of days.
  • Italian patent application No. MI 91 A 002420 in the name of the same Applicant discloses a pressing apparatus which comprises means for loading the material to be pressed in a lower mold. Said loading means are actuated by a rack and are supported directly by the body of the press. Other types of actuation of the loading means are known, for example from Italian patent No. 719423 and from Italian patent No. 717878. In these cases, too, the loading means are supported directly by the pressing apparatus. Italian utility model patent No.
  • 0216666 furthermore describes loading means which can move vertically so that they can move together with the template of the mold, if the bottom of the lower mold is fixed and the template is instead movable; said patent furthermore describes means for feeding the loading means which are formed by a hopper equipped with a shutter which is suitable to release a fixed and preset amount of powder.
  • Pressing apparatuses are furthermore known which comprise a base which can directly support the loading means, such as for example the one described in patent application PCT No. WO 89/11969 in the name of the same Applicant.
  • Said known devices entail some problems; in particular, every time it is necessary to change the size of the molds and/or the type of production, it is necessary to halt the entire production line, including the kilns, for all the time required to perform the above described tests.
  • the position of the moving body during the loading of the material to be pressed is furthermore preset and can be modified only with difficulty. Therefore it is not easy to intervene on the volume of material loaded into the lower mold before pressing.
  • Patent Abstracts of Japan vol 7 No 183 (M-235) and Japanese patent application No 58 084 700 teach the use of a loading apparatus which can be removed together with the lower mold. However after the remotion it is impossible to carry out the full range of tests required because the change of the depth of the lower mold is associated with means which cannot be removed. Also the whole arrangement can be only substantially weak, so that it can be reliably used only for molding small pieces.
  • US patent 4 222 726 teaches the use of a bottom of the lower mold which can be removed. However the removed part can only be adjusted by means of shims and does not partecipate to the movement which changes the depth of the lower mold. So it is completely useless for the purpose of carrying out tests on the removed part.
  • Italian patent No. 1220351 describes mechanical means with gears combined with hydraulic pistons for varying the inclination of the moving body and of the bottom of the mold so that before the loading and leveling step the bottom of the mold is inclined in order to compensate the greater compression of the powder inside the mold in the terminal region of the leveling action.
  • the adjustment of this system is very complicated and difficult to repeat; furthermore, only one type of adjustment is possible, according to a profile which is linear along the entire length of the mold.
  • German patent No 1 255 554 and German patent No 528 100 and German utility model 8 803 036 disclose a process in which the movement of the leveling means and the movement of the means for changing the depth of the mold are simultaneous.
  • this process can be used only for the molding of very small pieces (such as 250 cm2) since the means diclosed for changing the depth of the mold cannot be used with large pieces or for the simultaneous pressing of many small pieces because it is impossible to achieve a precise coplanarity; in fact according to the actual industrial precision requirements it is important to achieve a vertical precision of at least 0.1mm.
  • the mechanical response time of this system is low, while according to the actual industrial speed requirements it is important to obtain a point-to-point change of the depth of the lower mold in about 0.1 sec.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the problems described above by providing a process for pressing a granular or powdery material with a pressing apparatus which comprises leveling means for leveling an upper surface of said material loaded in a lower mold, and vertical movement means for changing a depth of said lower mold, said process comprising:
  • This process allows to adjust non-uniformities in loading according to any type of profile in a direction parallel to the direction of the motion of the leveling means, allowing to compensate even highly localized defects by loading too much or too little material exactly in the regions which require it. It is furthermore easily repeatable, since it is based on a type of adjustment which can be easily automated. Point-by-point control of the position, of the bottom of the mold is thus easily allowed, and thus the adjustment of the distribution profile required for the material can be very precise and reliable.
  • the movement of the vertical movement means which perform also the extraction of the molded piece from the mold, can be easily controlled with a closed-loop control circuit both during ascent and during descent, so as to have in both cases perfect control over position, speed and acceleration.
  • the present invention has the purpose of overcoming the above described problems by providing a device suitable to be used with a pressing apparatus, comprising: vertical movement means for changing a depth of a lower mold before pressing for adjusting the amount of material charged in said lower mould; a plurality of hydraulic first cylinders and first pistons for actuating said vertical movement means; a flow divider element which can distribute the same flow to each one of said first cylinders.
  • the invention has the purpose of overcoming the above described problems by providing a device suitable to be used with a pressing apparatus, comprising: loading means for loading a material to be pressed; vertical movement means for changing a depth of a lower mold, so as to adjust the amount of material charged in said lower mold; a plurality of hydraulic first cylinders and first pistons for actuating said vertical movement means; supporting means which are mounted on said vertical movement means and are suitable to bear the weight of said loading means; and conveyance means which are defined on said vertical movement means and are suitable to allow the removal of said vertical movement means from a main structure of said pressing apparatus, so that said removal automatically entails a removal of said loading means, of said plurality of hydraulic first cylinders and first pistons and of said lower mold.
  • the device comprises vertical adjustment means for adjusting the alignment between the level of said loading means and the level of said mold.
  • said vertical adjustment means comprise two parallel eccentric bodies which are directly supported by said base; a frame for supporting said loading means rests on said eccentric bodies. It is thus possible to easily adjust the alignment between the loading means and the level of the template of the molds, furthermore ensuring that the plane of the loading means and the plane of the molds are perfectly parallel to one another. It is furthermore thus possible to install or remove the frame of the loading means on or from the base with a very rapid operation which does not entail the tightening of bolts etc..
  • the rotation of said two eccentric bodies is adjusted by a single adjustment shaft which is arranged perpendicular to said two eccentric bodies and allows to adjust the vertical position of the loading means with a very simple operation while keeping the loading means always perfectly horizontal.
  • the conveyance means are formed by two horizontal recesses and in particular by two holes defined in said base. Conveyance of the base and of the loading means, which are supported in a cantilevered manner, is thus particularly easy.
  • the present invention relates to a loading, unloading and extraction assembly which comprises loading means for loading the material to be pressed and for unloading the pressed material, and a device according to what has been described above.
  • the present invention relates to a pressing apparatus which comprises a main structure for containing the pressing force, loading means for loading the material to be pressed and for unloading the pressed material; and a device according to what has been described above.
  • a pressing apparatus suitable to comprise a device according to the invention, reference is made to the pressing apparatus described in the patent application PCT No. WO 89/11969 which integrates and is considered part of the present specification.
  • the pressing apparatus comprises a main structure 10 which generally has a ring-like shape and hydraulic actuation means to perform pressing by means of the descent of the upper mold 9.
  • the hydraulic actuation means and the relevant hydraulic circuit are described in detail in patent application PCT no. 89/11969.
  • the loading means are formed by the grid 11, which is loaded by means of the hopper 12, and can unload the pressed material by means of the thrust of the end 13, making it slide on the plane of the template 26.
  • the leveling means are defined by the knife 8 of the grid 11.
  • the vertical movement means are formed by the cooperation of the base 14 and the moving body 16.
  • the base 14 has a considerable thickness in order to withstand the pressing force, and supports the thrust on the lower mold with the interposition of a moving body 16 which is formed by the plate 16, which is arranged above the base 14.
  • a moving body 16 which is formed by the plate 16, which is arranged above the base 14.
  • the side walls 17 of the lower mold are directly supported by the base 14, whereas the bottom 15 is supported by the base 14 by means of the plate 16.
  • Said moving body 16 is raised and lowered by means of the first pistons 18 or 19.
  • the pistons 18 and 19 are assigned respectively to lifting and lowering.
  • the cylindrical seats 7 both for the piston 19 and for the first pistons 18 are defined in the body of the base 14.
  • each seat 7 there is a bush, in particular the bush 20 for the piston 19 and the bush 21 for each of the first pistons 18.
  • Each bush has a hole 22 which is fed by a hollow expansion 23 defined in the body of the base 14 around the bush in order to feed the seat 7 of the piston 18.
  • the loading means 11 are supported by means of two supporting bodies 24 which are mounted directly on the base 14.
  • the two supporting bodies 24 act as vertical adjustment means in order to adjust the alignment between the level of the powder-carrying plate 25 and the level of the plane of the mold 26.
  • the two supporting bodies 24 are eccentric and are supported directly by the base 14, by means of the element 27 which is inserted directly and rigidly in the body of the base 14.
  • Each one of the two bodies 24 comprises two coupled eccentric disks 28.
  • the conveyance means for removing the base 14 comprise two horizontal holes 42 defined on the vertical movement means and particularly on the base 14, so that any lifting machine can be used for lifting and removing the base 14, the moving body 16, loading means 11, first cylinders 7, first pistons 18 and lower mold 15, 17.
  • the frame 29 for supporting the loading means 11 is simply rested on the eccentric bodies 28 by means of the free rollers 30, whose axis is rigidly associated with the frame 29. In this manner, the frame 29 can be separated from the press 10 simply by lifting it.
  • the height of the frame 29 is adjusted by rotating the bodies 24.
  • there is a single adjustment shaft 31 which is arranged perpendicular to the two bodies 24. More particularly, said shaft 31 is coupled to a pair of gears 32 and 33 for each one of the bodies 24. The adjustment of shaft 31 can align the level of the loading means 11 with the level of the plane of the template.
  • This embodiment is preferred because in this manner there is the further advantage that higher speeds can be achieved, since the plane of the template of the mold remains motionless and the truck does not have to be subjected to vertical movements during leveling.
  • flow divider element designates an element which is capable of receiving a single liquid flow in input and of dividing said flow into a plurality of mutually identical output flows.
  • a flow divider element is generally schematically indicated by a plurality of non-motorized positive-displacement pumps whose axes are all interconnected mechanically so that all the pumps necessarily rotate at the same rate.
  • a flow divider of this type is marketed for example by Vivoil Oleodinamica S.r.l. in Bologna.
  • the flow divider element 34 shown in Figure 8 can distribute the same flow to each one of the seats of the first piston 18, so it that can actuate the vertical movement means.
  • the moving body 16 can be gradully moved vertically and it can be parallel to itself by means of gradual passages of flow through the flow divider 34.
  • the flow divider element 34 is formed by a separate hollow second piston 36, 36' for each pair of first cylinder 7 and first piston 18.
  • the second pistons are mutually connected by means of the flange 37, 37', and each one is contained in a separate second cylinder 38, 38'.
  • the cylinders 38, 38' are mecanically connected to one another according for example to three embodiments.
  • the cilinders 38 are all obtained from a single part 39.
  • Said single part 39 is shaped like a large piston which can slide into an actuation cylinder 40 arranged outside the group of second cylinders 38.
  • the cylinder 40 is rigidly associated with the flange 37.
  • the cylinders 38' are connected with an actuation double effect cylinder 40' arranged inside the group of second cylinders 38'.
  • the piston 39' is rigidly associated with the flange 37'.
  • the cavities 58 of the pistons 36, 36' are connected to the first cylinders 7 by means of the tubes 41, 41'.
  • the ratio of the length of the stroke of the second pistons 36, 36' with respect to the corresponding length of the stroke of the first pistons 18, 18' is in the range of from 1.1 to 8, preferably of 1.5 to 5 and more preferably of 2.5 to 3.5.
  • the diameters of the cilinders can be smaller, so it is possible to use smaller and faster proportional valves; smaller diameters give rise to small oil leakages; it is possible to obtain a better precision and resolution if the encoder is arranged to detect the relative movement of the second cylinders 38, 38' with respect to the second pistons 36, 36'; the second cylinders 38, 38' can be arranged closer to each other, so the moment on the group of second cylinders is substantially reduced even if there are strong load differences on the first pistons 18; with lower moments involved the operation of the flow divider is easier and more reliable.
  • the correction means 59 can set a certain flow increase for the flow 41' which is directed to one of the first cylinders 7 with respect to the flow 60 which is directed to another first cylinder 7.
  • the distribution of the amount of material charged in said lower mould can be adjusted, by the correction means, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the movement of the leveling means.
  • the distribution of the material can be adjusted, by the correction means, also in a direction parallel to the direction of the movement of the leveling means.
  • such distribution can be adjusted only according to a linear profile. According to the claimed process on the contrary, it is possible to control such distribution according to any profile in a direction parallel to the movement of the leveling means.
  • the correction means 59 comprise adjustable means 61 to adjust the filling of one of said second cylinders 38' with respect to the filling of another second cylinder 38'.
  • the adjustable means 61 are formed by a movable element 62 which is movable between an engagement and a release position, so as to engage or release one or more pairs of a second piston 36' and a second cylinder 38'.
  • the engagement position causes a change of the penetration of the engaged pair and so a preset increase of passage of oil.
  • the movable element 62 is normally in the release position under the action of springs 63 and can be moved to the engagement position by a passage of oil through valve 64 at every pressing cycle, so that during the leveling of the surface of the material in the mold, the movable element 62 is in the engagement position.

  • the proportional valve 43 is then opened in order to fill with liquid the seats 21 of the first pistons 18.
  • the extent of the opening of the proportional valve 43 is adjusted according to the position detected by the encoder, and in particular in the first part of the path the opening is increased progressively and during the last part of the path the opening is decreased progressively until complete closure occurs at the point at which the encoder 46 detects a position which is identical to the one stored for unloading, that is to say at the point at which the bottom 15 of the lower mold reaches the level 26 of the plane of the template.
  • the loading means 11 are then caused to advance in order to unload the pressed part by means of the edge 13.
