Definitions
- the present invention relates to a press for tile pressing molds having an innovative charging device and in particular for creating colored streaks and veins in the mass.
- WO 98/23424 discloses a press according to the preamble of claim 1, with a conveyor belt movable to carry powders from a powder feeding unit to the discharge position over the mold.
- a further, widely used system consists of a drawer with dimensions similar to the cavity of the mold to be filled.
- the drawer is open at the bottom and has rods for drawing the powders to be pressed. It runs on a plane from a charging position outside the mold to a dumping position vertically above the mold where the powders are dumped.
- the drawer includes a powered belt which receives the powders and dumps them from its lead end into the mold.
- the general purpose of the present invention is to remedy the above mentioned shortcomings by making available a press with a charging device allowing satisfactory powder distribution in the mold in particular when there is a plurality of powders for providing streaks and color variations in the tile mass.
- Figure 1 and 2 show diagrammatically a press for pressing tiles designated as a whole by reference number 10 and comprising a pressing mold 11 arranged between press plates 12, 13 and a charging device 14.
- the charging device comprises a charging carriage 15 powered to be movable between the charging position shown in solid lines in Fig. 1 outside the press plates and a position partially shown in hatching of dumping into the mold.
- a conveyor belt 16 powered to run on command, possibly on a supporting table 17, between transmission rollers 18, 19 arranged at the head and tail of the carriage in relation to the carriage's movement into and out of the press plates.
- the belt should be at least as wide as the mold compartment.
- the charging device comprises a hopper feeding unit 20 which dumps the powders for making the tile onto the belt below.
- This feed unit is basically prior art and therefore not further described nor shown. It should include dumping hoppers for the various powders it is desired to use in making the tiles. For example, there may be provided a main hopper to dump the powder for making the tile mass and at least one secondary hopper to dump powder for making the streaks or veining in the mass. Dumping from the hoppers should take place in quantities and at intervals differing according to the specific aesthetic effect it is desired to obtain.
- the carriage advantageously comprises a scraper 21 and a powered brush 22 for cleaning the mold while the carriage is travelling.
- the surface of the belt which receives the powder comprises ridges 23 protruding from the surface.
- the ridges can have various forms depending on the effect it is desired to achieve.
- Fig. 2 shows ridges 23 arranged on the belt along transverse lines.
- Figures 3 and 5 show ridges which are, respectively, inclined and straight, inclined and wavy or directed along lines arranged variously to mutually intersect on the belt surface more or less randomly.
- Figures 6 and 7 show variant embodiments of the structure of the ridges allowing the belt to turn around the transmission rollers.
- the ridges are broken at intervals so as to form segments which open when the belt bends around the rollers.
- rollers are unbroken and made of relatively yielding material such as for example rubber to allow their distortion and lowering on the belt when the belt bends on the rollers.
- This second embodiment was found to be particularly beneficial to gain a more diffuse dumping effect of the powders and improve the aesthetic result when it is desired to obtain a shaded streaked color effect in the tile mass.
- the ridges can be molded in a single piece with the belt or attached in a way readily imaginable to those skilled in the art.
- Fig. 8 shows a plan view of a variant embodiment of the press in which a mold with multiple cavities (11a, 11b, 11c) for performing multiple pressings is provided.
- the charging device consequently comprises a belt conveyor 14 broad enough to feed all the side by side cavities.
- Fig. 8 also shows additional ridges 25 transversal to the belt and arranged with a pitch virtually equal to the length of the mold in the direction of movement of the belt.
- powder dumping will be synchronized with the belt movement in such a manner that the space delimited between two transversal ridges 25 will receive all the powder intended for a cavity.
- the carriage is retracted to the starting position of Fig. 1 .
- the carriage is operated to advance towards the mold and simultaneously the feed unit 20 discharges the necessary powders with the desired arrangement for tile production. In this manner the belt passes beneath the hopper which dumps and the powder is distributed along the belt.
- Discharging of the powders from the hopper terminates when the desired amount of powder is reached while advancing movement of the carriage terminates when the carriage has travelled the entire mold and the belt has reached its extreme advanced position as shown hatched in Fig. 1 .
- the carriage is commanded to return to its starting or charging position and during the return travel of the carriage the belt is made to run forward at a speed virtually equal to the carriage movement speed.
- the powders on the belt are dumped uniformly in the mold.
- the speed of rotation of the belt is equal to the return speed of the carriage, the relative speed of the powders is practically null with the powders falling vertically into the mold to avoid the dragging effects of prior art drawer devices.
- the ridges could be obtained either by cutting the belt in low relief, molding it directly with the ridges, or adding the ridges on its surface later.
