Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device to load powders in a mould to make tiles, and in particular a device comprising a so-called double-loading carriage, i.e. a carriage of the type comprising a main grid which is filled with base powder material, and a hopper or an auxiliary tray which is loaded with a small quantity of additional powder material (for example a coloured powder material), which is deposited on the surface intended to form the visible side, that is the top side of the tile, and which provides the coloured pattern on the surface of the tile.
  • a so-called double-loading carriage i.e. a carriage of the type comprising a main grid which is filled with base powder material, and a hopper or an auxiliary tray which is loaded with a small quantity of additional powder material (for example a coloured powder material), which is deposited on the surface intended to form the visible side, that is the top side of the tile, and which provides the coloured pattern on the surface of the tile.
  • additional powder material for example a coloured powder material
  • the invention also relates to a method of loading powders in a mould for the production of ceramic tiles.
  • a layer of noteworthy thickness, constituted by a base material (for example atomized clay) and intended to form the body of the tile, on which a small quantity of a colouring material is deposited, generally constituted by a mixture of granules of various colours and/or various effects.
  • a base material for example atomized clay
  • the Italian patent application n. MO99A00141 describes a loading device for ceramic presses to produce tiles with a technique of this type, which is provided with a carriage with a loading grid, which is filled with the base material and which is then transferred above the cavity of the mould to deposit the base material. Disposed in front of the loading grid is a means to distribute a specific quantity of coloured powder material.
  • This means comprises a perforated flexible screen which slides in front of a hopper, with a movement synchronized with the movement of the carriage, in order to distribute the coloured material according to a specific pattern.
  • the Italian patent application n. MO99A000016 describes a similar device to the previous one, wherein the coloured material is however distributed through a series of rotating and perforated hollow cylinders inside which the coloured material is placed.
  • EP-A-0444730 describes a device to load ceramic presses comprising:
  • the auxiliary tray is produced in the form of a hopper moving on the carriage, in a direction parallel to the to-and-fro movement of the carriage. During this movement the hopper passes over a mesh bearing a pattern, while the carriage remains still in a position in which the mesh is above the cavity of the mould, in which a layer of base material has previously been disposed.
  • the filling cycle of the mould cavity includes a first phase in which the grid is positioned above the bottom punch of the mould and in which the latter is lowered (performing a first lowering) to create the cavity which is filled with the material contained in the grid.
  • a second phase in which the carriage, after having travelled for a certain distance, stops to allow movement of the hopper containing the coloured powders and their distribution through the mesh onto the layer of material previously deposited in the mould cavity.
  • the punch must be lowered a second time, between the first and second phase.
  • EP-A-0941826 describes a loading device with a double-loading carriage, which comprises a main grid, which receives the base material and transfers it to the mould, and a hopper or tray provided with a controlled bottom closing component, to deposit the coloured material on top of the base layer previously deposited in the mould cavity.
  • the carriage has an intermediate portion, between the main grid and the hopper, with the object of spacing these two elements by a length corresponding at least to the dimension of the mould cavity in the direction parallel to the direction in which the carriage moves. This prolongs the production cycle and consequently reduces productivity of the device.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a loading device for presses to produce ceramic tiles, which overcomes entirely or in part the problems of the prior art.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device which may reach high production rates and which has a simple structure.
  • the device according to the invention includes a double-loading carriage, with a main grid and an auxiliary tray, characterized in that these two elements are placed on the carriage at a reciprocal distance independent from the dimension of the mould and if necessary may be less than this, and in that the auxiliary tray has a bottom closing component controlled in synchronism with the movement of the carriage in relation to said mould.
  • the system comprises a press generically indicated with 1, equipped with a mould 3 with a bottom punch or pad 5 and a top punch or pad 7 carried by a moving crosspiece 9.
  • the bottom punch 5 moves inside a die 11 to define together with it a cavity which must be filled with powders, which are subsequently pressed by the two punches of the mould to form the tile.
  • a powder loading device indicated as a whole with 15, is provided at the side of the press 1 .
  • This comprises a carriage 17 moving in the direction of the arrow f17, controlled by an actuator, not shown, along a sliding surface 19, the top surface of which is flush with the top surface of the die 11.
  • a continuous conveyor with belts or strips 22 is disposed, to remove the tiles formed by the press 1.
  • a base grid or main grid 23 Disposed on the carriage in sequence from right to left are: a base grid or main grid 23, a first scraper 25, an auxiliary tray 29, a second scraper 32 with an actuator, not shown, to raise it and lower it in relation to the surface 19, and a cylindrical brush 31, controlled by an actuator, not shown, suitable to raise and lower it, for reasons explained hereunder.
  • the auxiliary tray 29 is closed at the bottom by a gate valve 29A, the opening and closing of which are controlled by an actuator 30 controlled by a central control unit in synchronism with the movement of the carriage 17.
  • the carriage 17 is in a position in which the main grid 23 is placed below a base hopper 33, extending orthogonal to the plane of the figure for a width equal to the width of the main grid 23 and equipped with a bottom opening closed by a gate valve 35 controlled by a piston-cylinder actuator 37.
  • the hopper 33 is filled with a base powder material, for example atomized clay, through a duct 39 connected to an overhead silo containing the material, not shown.
  • the duct 39 is carried by a slide 41 equipped with alternate movement parallel to the hopper 33 and therefore orthogonal to the plane of the drawing and to the movement according to f17 of the carriage 17.
  • the transverse movement of the duct 39 guarantees uniform filling of the main hopper 33.
  • the gate valve 35 to close the hopper 35 is opened to fill the main grid 23.
  • This is divided internally, in a per se known way, by a series of vertical slats orthogonal to the direction of movement of the carriage 17, or if necessary distributed according to another pattern, to obtain a desired distribution of the base material in the mould cavity of the press 1.
  • the main grid 23 is of the so-called tray type, that is of noteworthy height and with a reduced dimension in the direction parallel to the movement of the carriage 17, that is a dimension lower than the corresponding dimension of the mould cavity.
  • filling of the main grid 23 is completed during the first length of the travel towards the press 1 of the carriage 17, so that most of the compartments into which the grid is divided by the respective slats are filled completely.
  • the gate valve 35 may not be required, as the carriage has a seal-plate behind the grid 23.
  • the auxiliary tray 29 is below the preload hopper 51 closed at the bottom by a gate valve 53 controlled by an actuator 55.
  • the preload hopper 51 is filled with coloured powder material (for example a mixture of enamels) through a mixer 57 moving along guides 59 transverse in relation to the movement of the carriage 17.
  • the mixer 57 is filled with coloured powders from the silos overhead, not shown, through flexible ducts 61.
  • the gate valve 53 can be opened to load the coloured material into the tray 29.
  • the base material with which the main grid 23 is filled forms the base of the tile, while the coloured material (enamel or the like) which is loaded into the auxiliary tray 29 forms the surface layer of the visible face of the tile.
  • the auxiliary tray 29 is at a distance from the main grid 23 lower than the dimension, in the direction of movement of the carriage 17, of the mould cavity 5, that is than the dimension of the tile produced by the press 1.
  • the distance between the auxiliary tray 29 and the main grid 23 is sufficient to house the scraper 25.
  • Fig. 2A the carriage 17 is in the filling position, the crosspiece of the press is raised and the bottom punch 5 has been raised until it is flush with the top surface of the die 11 and therefore with the sliding surface 19 of the carriage 17.
  • a tile P1 produced in the previous pressing cycle is laid on the top surface of the bottom punch 5 to be ejected by the carriage 17 during its movement to enter the press 1.
  • Fig.2B the carriage 17 has moved to its most forwardly position.
  • the auxiliary tray 29 is beyond the mould cavity, the main grid 23 is in proximity to the outlet edge of the mould cavity, that is the edge nearest to the conveyor 22.
  • the tile P1 has been pushed by the carriage 17 out of the press 1 to the conveyor 22, by which it is removed and conveyed towards the firing kiln.
  • the bottom punch 5 is lowered (so-called first lowering of the mould) to form between its top surface and the die 11 the mould cavity which must be filled with the powders destined to form the tile.
  • the powder material contained in the main grid 23 starts to fill the mould cavity.
  • the first lowering is anticipated to improve loading of the front part of the cavity.
  • the grid is a tray grid, of reduced longitudinal dimension, filling of the mould cavity is completed with reverse movement of the carriage 17, towards the original filling position (Fig.2A).
  • the height of the main grid 23 is sufficient to house the quantity of powder material required to fill the entire mould cavity.
  • a layer MC of coloured powder material or of another additional material is deposited by the auxiliary tray 29 on the free and levelled surface of the layer of base material MB deposited by the base grid 23.
  • the auxiliary tray is promptly opened in order to start unloading the coloured material contained in it starting from the edge of the mould cavity nearest to the outlet of the press. For this purpose it may be necessary to anticipate opening slightly, according to the speed of the carriage 17.
  • the layer MC of coloured powders formed by the auxiliary tray 29 is positioned above the surface defined by the top surface of the die 11.
  • the brush 31 is promptly raised before it starts to pass over the mould cavity, to be lowered again as soon as it has exceeded the area of the cavity.
  • the auxiliary tray 29 is also promptly closed as soon as it reaches the inlet edge of the mould cavity, that is the edge opposite the conveyor 22.
  • a door or trap 63 is provided between the die 11 and the filling position of the carriage 17, along the sliding surface 19 of the carriage, which is opened when the second scraper 32 travels over it; this is lowered onto the sliding surface 19, after it has passed through the area of the mould cavity during the return travel of the carriage.
  • the scraper 32 will unload through the opening thus formed in the sliding surface 19 all the residual powder material, and in particular the enamel powders, collected during the return travel of the carriage 17. This prevents subsequent contamination of the loading system by enamel powders which may have aggressive chemical properties and the presence of which on the rear face or brand of the tiles must be avoided to prevent problems from arising during the firing phase of the tile in the kiln.
  • the cylindrical brush 31 has the function of cleaning the top punch during the return travel of the carriage and for this purpose is promptly raised by the relative driving actuator.
  • the loading cycle of the mould is very brief, as the bottom punch must perform a single lowering movement and not two lowering movements as is the case in traditional devices. Even if, for the purpose of preventing the layer MC of coloured powders from extending beyond the top surface of the die 11, the bottom punch 5 implements a second downward travel, this operation does not prolong the time of a cycle. In fact, the second lowering of the mould may be implemented as soon as the main grid 23 has left the loading area of the mould cavity, when the auxiliary tray 29 is already above the cavity.
  • the quantity of coloured material deposited on the top surface of the tile is not determined by the distance between the outlet of the tray and the free surface of the layer of base material, but by the speed at which the carriage moves, by the amplitude to which the gate valve of the auxiliary tray 29 opens and by the flowability of the material applied.
  • the carriage 17 is extremely short, thanks to the fact that the auxiliary tray 29 may be disposed very close to the main grid 23.
