Definitions

  • the present invention regards a device for compacting a layer of powder material, mainly in the field of forming ceramic tiles or slabs.
  • a slidable transport surface on which there is progressively supplied a ceramic powder, so as to form a layer.
  • the transport surface is generally defined by a slidable and fixable conveyor belt.
  • the layer of powder is advanced by the transport surface through a compacting station of the continuous type, i.e. which is adapted to compact the layer of powder as it progressively advances on the transport surface.
  • the compacting station generally comprises two flexible compacting surfaces, mutually superimposed and both slidable in the same direction of the transport surface. Also the compacting surfaces are usually defined by a respective slidable and flexible belt.
  • the lower compacting surface is arranged beneath and at contact with the transport surface, so that it supportingly rests thereon, while the upper compacting surface is arranged at a given height above the transport surface.
  • the compacting surfaces are guided to slide between special pressing means, for example between a pair of superimposed rollers, which maintain the upper compacting surface locally pressed towards the lower compacting surface, so as to press the layer of powders which is located on the transport surface.
  • the compacting station usually also comprises two parallel lateral edges, which are adapted to laterally contain the layer of ceramic powder on the transport surface during compacting, so as to make the apparent density of the layer of powder more uniform in the direction of the width. These lateral edges are elastically yieldable, so as to be able to be compressed under the effect of the compacting surfaces. Downstream of the compacting station, the transport surface lastly advances the layer of compacted powder through a subsequent cutting station, which is adapted to divide it into single slabs of desired dimensions.
  • the compacting pressure that can be provided on the layer of powder with a forming device of the type outlined above is currently limited to relatively low values, about up to a maximum of 200 Kg/cm 2 , which are usually insufficient to obtain the quality finished products.
  • the slabs of compacted powder are usually also subjected to a second pressing step, usually by means of a conventional discontinuous die, so as to be able to reach higher and more suitable values of the compacting pressure, usually comprised between 250 Kg/cm 2 and 500 Kg/cm 2 .
  • the layer of compacted powder tends to expand spontaneously. Due to this spontaneous expansion, whose extent is generally proportional to the compacting pressure, the layer of powder may break and form cracks and/or fissures that make it entirely unusable, or however seriously faulty.
  • the compacting station is usually also provided with means for contrasting the expansion of the layer of compacted powder. These contrast means have the function of "accompanying" the expansion, i.e. slowing it, so as to prevent the formation of cracks and/or fissures in the layer of compacted powder.
  • the means for contrasting the expansion may comprise a pair of superimposed plates, between which the compacting surfaces are guided to pass downstream of the pressing means. These plates have the function of maintaining the upper compacting surface pressed towards the lower compacting surface, so that the layer of compacted powder is subjected to a pressure for contrasting the expansion, lower than the compacting pressure exerted by the pressing means.
  • the upper plate of the pair can be slightly inclined, so that the contrast pressure generated thereby progressively decreases as the forward advancement of the layer of powder moves away from pressing means.
  • a variant of this solution provides for replacing the upper plate with a flexible plate, which is supported by a row of jacks arranged adjacent to each other in transverse direction with respect to the direction of advancement of the conveyor belt.
  • each jack comprises a cylinder, obtained in a fixed support body, within which there slides a piston fixed to the flexible plate.
  • a pressurised fluid typically oil
  • the pistons maintain the flexible plate pressed towards the upper compacting surface.
  • the fluid is supplied in the cylinder through a single manifold, so that each piston is always subjected to the same pressure.
  • the flexible plate substantially acts as an isostatic buffer, which exerts a constant and uniform pressure on the underlying upper compacting surface.
  • This document discloses a double band press for the continuous production of chip comprising two metal press bands revolving in a vertical plane each supported by a rigid press plate and moving one on top of the other, at least one of said press plates being subjected to the action of at least one set of pressing means adjacent to one another in a row transversal to the movement of the bands, several parallel rows being provided under the press plate in the direction of movement, the pressing means of each row being independent one another.
  • Said press comprises a device to subject at least one of said press plates to a selectable moment of flexion in the transverse plane of the plate orthogonal to the running direction of the bands.
  • Such an apparatus has not proved to be suitable for contrasting the expansion of the layer of compacted powder while subjecting the powder to a differentiated pressure in the transverse direction with respect to the direction of advancement.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome, or at least efficiently reduce, this drawback of the prior art, through a simple, rational and inexpensive solution.
  • the invention provides a device for compacting a layer of powder material, with the features of claim 1.
  • the pressure exerted by the contrast means can be advantageously regulated at the edges of the compacting surface differently from that exerted at the centre, with the aim of efficiently contrasting the expansion of the layer of powder material also along the sides.
  • the pressure exerted by the contrast means can be advantageously regulated so as to ensure that the contrast pressure actually transmitted to the layer of powder material is substantially constant along the entire width of the layer.
  • said transport surface and said compacting surface are singularly defined by a respective slidable belt.
  • said contrast means comprise at least one row of pistons, superimposed to the compacting surface and arranged adjacent to each other in transverse direction with respect to the direction of advancement, each of which is slidably received in a respective reception cavity, which is obtained in a support body and it is in communication with a supply system of a pressurised fluid for pushing the piston towards the underlying compacting surface, said supply system being configured for regulating the pressure of the fluid in the reception cavity of each piston of the row independently with respect to the pressure of the fluid in the reception cavity of the other pistons of the row.
  • the thrust exerted by each piston on the underlying compacting surface can be advantageously regulated independently from that of the other pistons of the row.
  • such pressures can be regulated so as to exert a lower thrust at the centre of the compacting surface and a greater thrust at the lateral edges.
  • the thrusts exerted by the pistons can be selected so that, regardless of the presence of the lateral containment edges, the compacting surface is actually capable of transmitting to the powder material the same contrast pressure of the expansion along the entire width of the layer.
  • an aspect of the invention provides for that said row of pistons comprises at least three pistons.
  • each piston of the row is substantially configured like a plate, which is received in the respective reception cavity so as to be adapted to slide in the direction of the thickness thereof.
  • This particular configuration of the pistons has the advantage lying in the fact that the pressure exerted by each of them is globally more uniform and substantially isostatic.
  • the pistons positioned at the ends of the row are singularly superimposed, at least partly, at a respective edge for laterally containing the layer of powder material.
  • the aforementioned end pistons may operate more efficiently at the edges of the layer of powder material.
  • a further aspect of the invention provides for that the means for contrasting the expansion also comprise a flexible plate, which is fixed to the pistons of the row so as to be interposed between the latter and the compacting surface.
  • an aspect of the invention provides for that it comprises a plurality of pumps, each of which is adapted to pump the fluid into the reception cavity of a respective piston of the row.
  • This aspect of the invention outlines a very simple solution for allowing regulating the pressure of the fluid in the different reception cavities independently.
  • the supply system of the pressurised fluid may also comprise a plurality of pressure regulation valves, each of which is positioned along a connection conduit between a respective pump and the reception cavity of the corresponding piston.
  • a further aspect of the invention provides for that the supply system of the pressurised fluid also comprises a plurality of pressure sensors, each of which is in communication with the reception cavity of a respective piston of the row.
  • operators and/or the system for controlling the supply system may constantly control the level of pressure applied to each piston.
  • the means for contrasting the expansion may comprise a plurality of rows of pistons like the one described above, arranged in succession along the direction of advancement of the transport surface.
  • the contrast means substantially comprise a grid or matrix of pistons, distributed both in the direction of advancement of the transport surface and in the transverse direction, increasing and considerably improving the contrallability of the expansion of the layer of powder material.
  • the invention provides a method for compacting a layer of powder with the features of claim 10.
  • This embodiment of the invention substantially attains the same advantages of the device described beforehand, i.e. contrasting the expansion of the layer of powder material also along the sides more efficiently.
  • said differentiated pressure is regulated so as to exert on the layer of powder material a constant pressure in the transverse direction with respect to the direction of advancement.
  • a layer of compacted powder of uniform quality can be obtained advantageously.
  • the mentioned figures show a device 100 for compacting a layer M of powder material, typically of ceramic powder within a method for forming ceramic tiles or slabs.
  • the device 100 comprises a flexible conveyor belt 105, which is closed-loop-like wound around a plurality of rollers 110 with horizontal axis, including a series of idle return rollers and at least one motorised drive roller adapted to actuate the conveyor belt 105 to slide.
  • the conveyor belt 105 can be made of plastic material, so as to have a low cost, a low extent of dirtiness and an easy operating maintenance.
  • the upper section of the conveyor belt 105 substantially horizontal, defines a slidable transport surface 106 adapted to support the layer M of powder material and advance it in a predefined direction of advancement A.
  • the layer M of powder material is advanced from said transport surface 106 through a compacting station 115 of the continuous type, which is adapted to compact the layer M of powder material progressively as it advances.
  • the compacting station 115 comprises two flexible compacting belts, mutually superimposed, including a lower compacting belt 120 and an upper compacting belt 125. Both the compacting belts 120 and 125 may be made of plastic material, so as to have a low cost, a low extent of dirtiness and an easy operating maintenance.
  • the lower compacting belt 120 is closed-loop-like wound around a pair of rollers 121 with horizontal axis, including an idle return roller and a motorised drive roller adapted to actuate the compacting belt 120 to slide.
  • the upper section of the compacting belt 120 substantially horizontal, defines a slidable compacting surface 122 which is arranged beneath and at direct contact with the transport surface 106, so that it supportingly rests thereon.
  • the compacting surface 122 is further actuated to slide in the same direction of advancement A and substantially at the same speed as the transport surface 106, so as to prevent mutual friction.
  • the upper compacting belt 125 is in turn closed-loop-like wound around a pair of rollers 126 with horizontal axis, including an idle return roller and a motorised drive roller adapted to actuate the compacting belt 125 to slide.
  • the lower section of the compacting belt 125 defines a slidable compacting surface 127 which is arranged above the transport surface 106, and it is spaced therefrom so as to leave defined an interspace for the passage of the layer M of powder material.
  • the compacting surface 127 is actuated to slide substantially in the same direction of advancement A and substantially at the same speed as the transport surface 106, so as to prevent mutual friction with the layer M of powder material.
  • the compacting station 115 further comprises special pressing means, which are adapted to locally maintain the upper compacting surface pressed 127 towards the transport surface 106, so as to compress the layer M of powder material interposed therebetween.

  • the lower pressing roller 130 is arranged beneath and at direct contact with the lower compacting surface 122, and it is positioned at a height such to maintain the planarity of the transport surface 106.
  • the upper pressing roller 135 is instead arranged above and at direct contact with the upper compacting surface 127, and it is positioned at a height such to locally approach said upper compacting surface 127 towards the transport surface 106, so as to reduce the thickness of the interspace defined therebetween and thus compact the layer M of powder material. While the lower pressing roller 130 is mounted fixed, the upper pressing roller 135 is carried by jacks 136 that allow modifying the height thereof, i.e. the distance with respect to the lower pressing roller 130, for example as a function of the thickness of the layer M of powder material to be compacted and/or the compacting pressure intended to be applied thereon.

  • the compacting station 115 also comprises means for laterally containing the layer M of powder material.
  • said containment means comprise a pair of slidable belts, respectively 150 and 155, which are both positioned above the conveyor belt 105.
  • Each slidable belt 150 and 155 is flexible and it is closed-loop-like wound around a respective plurality of rollers 160 with horizontal axis, including a series of idle return rollers and possibly a motorised drive roller which allows the belt to slide.
  • the slidable belts 150 and 155 are configured and actuated so that the lower section of each of them, substantially horizontal, is adapted to slide in the same direction of advancement A and substantially at the same speed as the transport surface 106.
  • said lower sections of the slidable belts 150 and 155 are both positioned resting on the transport surface 106, in an interposed position between the latter and the upper compacting surface 127, thus defining two parallel and mutually spaced edges 151 and 156 which are adapted to laterally contain the layer M of powder material during compacting.
  • the slidable belts 150 and 155 are made of a quite yieldable material in the direction of the thickness, for example made of rubber or any other plastic material, so that the containment edges 151 and 156 defined thereby may be elastically compressed between the compacting surfaces 122 and 127.

Due to this solution, each row of pistons 180 of the matrix/grid can be controlled for subjecting the layer M of powder material to a different contrast pressure, for example progressively decreasing in the direction of advancement A, so as to allow the powders to expand more gradually and slowly.
