Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus structure for manufacturing articles, in particular ceramic articles, like tiles and slabs.
  • These stations comprise an initial station where the mixes of raw materials are prepared suitable for manufacturing the unbaked articles which are then put inside presses, if the mixes are made with powder raw materials, or in extruders, if the mixes are made with raw materials at the plastic state, which form the articles after which they are first placed inside driers to eliminate any moisture left and then in baking kilns where they are baked to stabilise their structures and decorations.
  • Both the driers and the baking kilns comprise a structure composed of modules that are joined together according to necessity in a pre-established number of items.
  • each module is such that it can fit inside a container or inside a body of a transport vehicle.
  • Each module is made with cross elements, uprights and longitudinal members that are joined together to form a frame that defines two lateral faces, two transversal faces, one bottom face and one top face which are then closed by respective walls, preferably in a refractory material, heat resistant, so as to define a chamber, or a portion of a chamber, for drying or baking respectively, which has an opening for entry and an opposite opening for exiting so as to allow the introduction of the articles and their ejection towards the outside.
  • apparatuses are then mounted intended for drying or baking the articles, such as, for instance, bodies for raising the inside temperature in the shape of distributors of heat produced by suitable burners to reach the effect wanted of either drying or baking.
  • the treated articles are then taken out of the kilns or driers and loaded on transport trolleys that have several tiers.
  • the frames of the modules that are intended to form these driers or these kilns are mounted previously on the manufacturer's premises and are fitted with at least the side walls, floors and tops.
  • the frames of the modules are joined to the other modules, their number being such to make the length wanted either of a drier or a kiln, and then they are completed by fitting all the devices mentioned previously.
  • a first drawback is that the frames that form the structures of each module, whether kilns or driers, have to be transported from the manufacturers to the user companies in an already completed pre-assembled condition of the bearing structures and this requires transport means that are able to transport them in such pre-assembled conditions.
  • An object of the invention is to improve the state of the art.
  • a further object of the invention is to make an apparatus structure for manufacturing articles that has considerably smaller overall dimensions, at least while being transported from the manufacturers to the user companies, thus maintaining the same production capacity.
  • Another object of the invention is to make an apparatus structure for manufacturing articles which allows to complete quickly their assembly and positioning along the production lines and without requiring any specific movement means and in spaces considerably smaller with the respect to the known technique.
  • an apparatus structure for manufacturing articles comprising a frame with either a parallelepiped or cubic shape defining two by two opposite and parallel faces, characterised in that it comprises narrowing means for narrowing at least one pair of said opposite and parallel faces along a narrowing direction.
  • a narrowing method is provided, suitable for narrowing the dimensions of apparatus structures for manufacturing articles, comprising frames defining two by two opposite and parallel faces which have pairs of opposite and parallel sides, characterised in that said narrowing comprises bringing opposite and parallel sides of one of said pairs of opposite and parallel sides close together along a narrowing direction.
  • the apparatus structure for manufacturing articles and the narrowing method therefore make it possible to reduce the overall dimensions of an apparatus according to necessity and at least along one narrowing direction so, e.g., to be easily transported at considerably lower costs, restoring it to its original dimensions once it reaches its destination of use and in such a way that also the subsequent assembly is easy even by assembly personnel only, without having to use specific movement devices.
  • a frame has been globally indicated by 1 of a module suitable for making up, joined with other modules, a baking kiln suitable for baking articles, in this specific case ceramic articles such as tiles, slabs and the like.
  • the frame comprises a plurality of uprights 2, longitudinal members 3 and cross elements 4 that define six faces, two by two parallel and perpendicular to each other.
  • the frame 1 illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 has the cross elements 4 that are fitted with narrowing means 100 and which comprise, for each of these, with reference to Figures 3 and 4, two fixed segments 5 that are fixed at their tops "A", “B”, “C”, “D” where they are joined to the corresponding longitudinal members 3 and uprights 2 and two respective movable segments 6 that extend from the fixed segments 5 and which converge one towards the other.
  • the movable segments 6 have respective first ends 106, which are hinged by means of hinges 10 at concurrent ends of the fixed segments 5, and second ends 206, which are hinged together by means of a common hinge 11 placed on a symmetrical plane indicated with "PS".
  • hinges 10 and 11 which connect the fixed segments 5 and the movable segments 6 of the top cross elements 4 together, have rotation axes "Y" lying on a vertical plane while the hinges that connect the fixed segments 5 and the movable segments 6 of the bottom cross elements 4 together, indicated with 10' and 11' to distinguish them from the previous ones, have substantially horizontal rotation axes "X".
  • the movable segments 6 are made up of at least two telescopic elements 13 and 14, with the element 13 sliding inside the element 14.
  • the elements 13, one sliding inside the respective elements 14, make it possible to modify the length of the movable segments 6 so that the faces defined between the uprights 2 and the cross elements 4, indicated with 50 and 60 respectively, can be narrowed not only by the rotation of the movable segments 6 in relation to the fixed segments 5 around the hinges 10 and 11, and 10' and 11', but also by the sliding of the telescopic elements 13 inside the elements 14, as can be seen in Figures 3 and 4.
  • locking means 7 are provided which are suitable for locking the elements 13 from sliding when the frame 1 is restored again to its maximum original dimensions; these locking means are made according to the forms known like, e.g., respective pins that can be inserted transversally in a series of through holes obtained in the elements 13 and 14.
  • the working of the frame 1 is the following: it is produced by assembling together in the known way, the uprights 2, the longitudinal members 3 and the cross elements 4 and, eventually, by mounting also part of the walls that form the kiln baking chamber.
  • the frame 1 has normally a parallelepiped shape and therefore defines six faces that are two by two parallel to each other and which are perpendicular to the other faces.
  • the frame 1 has two parallel and vertical side edges, indicated with 8 and 9, two transversal and vertical faces 50 and 60, a floor 70 and a top 80, both horizontal.
  • the elements 13 are made to slide inside the corresponding elements 14, after having released the locking means 7.
  • the movable segments 6 are made to rotate with respect to the fixed segments 5 around the hinges 10, 11 and 10' and 11' and turning them towards the inside of the frame 1, as indicated by the arrows "F" in Figure 5, so that the movable segments 6 are arranged parallel and side by side with each other and all lying near the common symmetrical plane "PS".
  • the uprights 2 can have wheels 15 at the respective bottom ends, as can be seen in Figure 3, normally of the pivoting type and lockable in one rotation direction.
  • the frame 1 can be transported at considerably lower shipping costs.
  • the locking means 7 are reactivated so the frame 1 remains fixed in this final use configuration.
  • the frame 1 is self-bearing and the wheels 15, notably reducing the friction with the ground, facilitate the moving away of the side edges 8 and 9 and, consequently, the extraction of the elements 13 from the elements 14.
