Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mold, particularly but not exclusively useful and practical in the field of the ceramics industry.
- molds are widespread for the manufacture of blanks, tiles or the like starting from ductile materials, such as for example clay.
- the most recent and most widespread molds in use in the ceramics industry are constituted by two mold parts which are adapted to be pushed against each other by a press.
- Each mold part commonly comprises a hydraulic plate on which a female mold portion is fixed by means of hydraulic cylinders.
- Each female mold portion normally comprises one or more receptacles.
- Plugs which act as male mold parts are fixed, generally by means of magnetic anchorings, inside the receptacles.
- the most recent and effective plugs currently in use are isostatic plugs, i.e., particular male mold parts provided with an oil-pressure controlled circuit in which pressurized oil is introduced which is capable of compensating for any regions that would be poorly pressed.
- the molds also comprise an electronic heating circuit adapted to ensure the correct working temperature.
- the work environment is commonly isolated from the outside by bellows.
- Some of the molds currently in use are also provided with sensors for monitoring certain parameters. More precisely, in the molds of the background art it is possible to find: a general circuit current control system; a temperature sensor for spot temperature detection in a single point of a female mold portion; a sensor which detects the maximum pressure and the minimum pressure in the oil-pressure controlled circuit of the isostatic plugs.
- Another drawback of molds of the known type is constituted by the fact that they do not allow to detect leaks of oil from the individual isostatic plugs.
- a further drawback of molds of the known type consists in that they are subject to the phenomenon known as "double pressing": the material, after having undergone the pressing process, is not expelled correctly from its receptacle, for example due to surface adhesion phenomena, and therefore the subsequent loading of material overloads that receptacle and, when the upper mold part is about to perform the pressing cycle, the abnormal presence of material entails structural misalignments of the system which have a negative effect on the subsequent cycles.
- a further drawback of molds of the known type resides in that they are subject to deformation and failure caused by the accumulation of materials, such as for example soil and dust, inside them; this accumulation is mostly caused by pressure drops in the pneumatic cleaning circuit.
- a further drawback of molds of the known type resides in that they do not provide data, such as for example the actual number of strikes performed by the plugs, sufficient to be able to plan effectively maintenance and part replacement.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the limitations of the background art described above by devising a mold that allows the operator to monitor the operating parameters during the active step, supervising the correct execution of pressing and minimizing the risks of malfunction or failure.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a mold that is capable of identifying and signaling the malfunction of an individual electromagnet as well as the extent of this malfunction.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that is capable of detecting thermal differences within the individual mold parts.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a mold that allows to correct said thermal differences.
- a further object of the present invention is to devise a mold that allows to detect leaks of oil from the isostatic plugs.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that prevents the "double pressing" phenomena.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that allows to identify in a timely manner phenomena of misalignment between the two mold parts.
- a further object of the present invention is to devise a mold that avoids as much as possible the infiltration, within the work area between the two mold parts, of elements such as for example dust or clay.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that prevents the accumulation of materials, such as for example soil or dust, within the mold.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that allows to detect variations of the pressure of the hydraulic cylinders.
- a further object of the present invention is to devise a mold that allows to identify any defects of the pressed material, such as for example shape defects, cracks or chipping, already in the post-pressing step.
- Another object of the present invention is to devise a mold that provides data, such as for example the actual number of strikes performed by the plugs, that are sufficient to be able to plan effectively maintenance and part replacement.
- a still further object of the present invention is to devise a system for collecting, processing, transmitting and displaying the data produced by the mold which is useful to monitor the correct execution of pressing, to minimize the risks of failure and to plan maintenance steps strategically and proactively.

- An advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it is capable of identifying and signaling the malfunction of an individual electromagnet as well as the extent of this malfunction. In this manner, the operator is able to decide whether and which electromagnet requires maintenance.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it is capable of detecting the thermal differences that are present inside the mold, of compensating for these thermal differences and of ensuring a working temperature that is as uniform as possible. In this manner, the mold according to the invention is capable of preventing significant variations of the tolerances and the consequent release of products with imperfections.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it allows to detect leaks of oil from a single isostatic plug, allowing the operator to intervene in a timely manner.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it is capable of preventing the "double pressing" phenomenon.
- a further advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it allows to identify in a timely manner phenomena of misalignment between the two mold parts.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it allows to identify in a timely manner any damage to the insulation bellows and thus prevent the infiltration, within the work area, of elements such as for example dust or clay. Furthermore, the mold according to the invention is capable, by virtue of the system for venting by means of a pressurized filtered air jet, of contrasting the presence of these elements.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it is capable of preventing the accumulation of materials, such as for example soil and dust, within the mold, allowing to identify in real time any pressure drops within the pneumatic cleaning circuit, thus allowing the operator to intervene in a timely manner.
- Another advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it allows to detect in a timely manner variations in the pressure of the hydraulic cylinders.
- a further advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it allows to identify any defects of the pressed material, such as shape defects, cracks or chipping, already in the post-pressing step.
- a still further advantage of the mold according to the invention resides in that it provides data, such as for example the actual number of strikes performed by the plugs, sufficient to be able to plan effectively maintenance and parts replacement.
- the monitoring system adapted to process and transmit the data that arrive from the mold according to the invention allows one or more users to use these data and operating parameters even from a remote location.
- These parameters can be used, for example, also by the company that supplies the mold, which will be able to provide the user of the mold according to the invention with indications that are useful for planning maintenance and parts replacement.
- the materials used may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
