Description

Bio-ceramic block manufacturing equipment for medical devices

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a bio-ceramic block for medical devices, and more particularly, to a bio-ceramic block for medical devices that can ensure both marketability and productivity at the same time by more rapidly cooling the high-temperature ceramic block in a sintered state during the manufacturing process of the ceramic block. It relates to a ceramic block manufacturing apparatus.

In general, bio-ceramics for medical devices that are installed in medical aids, etc. and emit a large amount of far-infrared rays beneficial to the human body through heating are press-molded by press-molding a raw material that contains pulverized ceramic powder and a binder in a predetermined ratio. The pressure molding process and the sintering process to increase durability and strength while maintaining the inorganic properties of raw materials that emit a large amount of far-infrared rays by repeating that the interface of the tissue powder is melted with each other and crystal growth and adhesion are repeated by sintering the press-molded product manufactured through

Ceramics sintered and discharged from the sintering furnace are immediately subjected to a cooling process. Due to the characteristics of ceramics, if they are rapidly cooled by immersion in cooling water, the surface may be destroyed or the surface may be roughened due to stress caused by thermal shock.

On the other hand, if the ceramic sintered at a high temperature is left as it is or if cooling is performed slowly, problems such as a sudden decrease in electrical properties or changes in physical properties and poor strength after firing occur.

Accordingly, in a conventional ceramic cooling process, the sintered ceramic is cooled by adopting an air cooling method. At this time, in order to increase cooling efficiency, a blower is installed around the ceramic to forcibly blow wind.

However, since the surrounding working environment is maintained at a high temperature by the sintering furnace due to the characteristics of ceramic manufacturing, it was difficult to expect a cooling effect even if the wind was blown by a blower.

That is, if the ceramic is cooled by the air cooling method, the ceramic can be cooled more stably, but it is difficult to guarantee productivity because it takes a lot of time to cool the ceramic to the target temperature.

The apparatus for manufacturing bioceramic blocks for medical devices (hereinafter referred to as ceramic block manufacturing apparatus) according to the present invention is largely, as shown in FIG. It can be defined as including a conveyor 3 for moving the and a cooling unit 1 installed on the path of the conveyor 3 to blow wind to cool the ceramic block.

When the raw material press-molded is seated and moved on the conveyor 3, it can be sintered under high temperature conditions by the sintering furnace 2 arranged on the path of the conveyor 3, and passed through the sintering furnace 2 Cooling may be made while passing through the cooling unit 1 disposed at the rear end of the post-sintering furnace 2 .

The cooling unit 1 in this embodiment can effectively cool the ceramic block heated to a high temperature by blowing wind on both the upper and lower surfaces of the molding (hereinafter referred to as the ceramic block) being moved by the conveyor 3 . .

At this time, the belt of the conveyor 3 may be made of a mesh material so that the wind blown from the bottom can pass.

The cooling unit 1 does not simply blow the wind toward the ceramic block, but uses the water circulating the cooling unit 1 as a whole to make the blow wind cooler and blow the cold air to further improve the cooling performance. equip

To this end, the cooling unit 1 is large, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 , a first water tank 10 , a first cooling module 70 , a first connection pipe 100 , and a first pump 50 . , the second water tank 20, the second connection pipe 200, the second cooling module 80, the third connection pipe 300, the second pump 60, the fourth connection pipe 400, the first Peltier It may be exemplified as including the device P1 , the second Peltier device P2 , the first blow fan 30 , and the second blow fan 40 .

The first water tank 10 and the second water tank 20 are disposed to face each other on one side and the other side of the conveyor 3, respectively, and water may be stored therein. The water stored in the first water tank 10 and the second water tank 20 is connected to the first connecting pipe 100 , the second connecting pipe 200 , the third connecting pipe 300 and the fourth connecting pipe 400 . It can be operated inside the cooling unit 1 while continuously circulating the first water tank 10 and the second water tank 20 on the ride.

At this time, the first Peltier element (P1) and the second Peltier element (P2) are the first water tank 10 and the second so that the water stored in the first water tank 10 and the second water tank 20 can be cooled. Each of the water tanks 20 may be mounted to cool the stored water. The Peltier element is also called a thermoelectric element, and is usually used for small refrigerators, CPU cooling, and the like.

Accordingly, the water circulating in the cooling unit 1 circulates in the cooling unit 1 in a relatively low-temperature cold water state.

Next, the first cooling module 70 is disposed on the conveyor 3 to receive water from the first water tank 10 , and to discharge cold air outside in a line that does not expose water to the outside. On the other hand, the first blow fan 30 may be coupled around the first cooling module 70 to blow wind to the upper portion of the conveyor 3 .

Accordingly, as the wind generated by the first blow fan 30 passes through the first cooling module 70 , it becomes cool air and may be applied to the ceramic block in that state.

The first cooling module 70 is a structure for more effectively discharging cold air by passing cold water to the outside. A pair of first holders 71 on which the first flow paths 71a are formed, and a first cooling pipe 72 coupled between the pair of first holders 71 to connect each of the first flow paths 71a ) may be exemplified as including.

That is, the water supplied to the first cooling module 70 first flows into the first flow path 71a of the first holder 71 connected to the first connection pipe 100 and then flows through the first cooling pipe 72 . However, it may be discharged from the first cooling module 70 through the first flow path 71a of the facing first holder 71 .

At this time, the first flow path 71a includes a plurality of branched first branch holes 71c and a first communication channel 71b for communicating the first branch holes 71c, and the first cooling tube 72 ) may be provided in plurality so as to be respectively connected to corresponding portions of the first branch holes 71c facing each other.

Accordingly, the water supplied to the first cooling module 70 is first introduced into the first communication channel 71b, and then is branched into the first branch hole 71c, and is branched and supplied to the plurality of first cooling pipes 72, respectively. Then, it is discharged to the second vertical pipe 210 of the second connection pipe 200 through the first flow path 71a facing again.

In the meantime, cold air is discharged to each of the first cooling tubes 72 and the wind of the first blow fan 30 passes into the space between each of the first cooling tubes 72 , so that the upper part of the conveyor 3 is disposed. Cold air may be provided toward the seated ceramic block.

Each of the first cooling tubes 72 has a cylindrical structure so as not to apply resistance to the wind applied from the first blow fan 30 so that the wind can pass through more easily.

Next, the first connection pipe 100 connects the first water tank 10 and the first cooling module 70 and provides a pipe through which water moves.

Next, the second connecting pipe 200 connects the first cooling module 70 and the second water tank 20 and provides a pipe through which the water passing through the first cooling module 70 is recovered and moved.

That is, when the first pump 50 pumps water from the first water tank 10 to the first connection pipe 100 , the pressurized water flows through the first cooling module 70 and the second connection pipe 200 sequentially. After passing, it is recovered to the second water tank (20).

Next, the second cooling module 80 is disposed under the conveyor 3 to receive water from the second water tank 20, and to discharge cold air to the outside in a line that does not expose water to the outside. On the other hand, the second blow fan 40 may be coupled around the second cooling module 80 to blow wind to the lower part of the conveyor 3 .

That is, the second cooling module 80 and the second blow fan 40 have the same structure and function as the above-described first cooling module 70 and the first blow fan 30 , except that the It differs only in that it is disposed at the bottom and is used for cooling the bottom of the ceramic block.

Accordingly, as the wind generated by the second blow fan 40 passes through the second cooling module 80 , it becomes cool air and may be applied to the ceramic block in that state.

The second cooling module 80 is spaced apart from each other and symmetrically disposed to face each other, and a pair of second holders 81 and a pair of second holders 81 in which a second flow path 81a through which water passes is formed. It may be exemplified as including a second cooling pipe 82 coupled between the holders 81 to connect each second flow path 81a. In this case, the second flow path 81a includes a plurality of branched second branch holes 81c and a second communication channel 81b that communicates the second branch holes 81c, and includes a second cooling pipe 82 ) may be provided in plurality so as to be respectively connected to corresponding portions of the second branch holes 81c facing each other.

Similarly, each of the second cooling tubes 82 has a cylindrical structure so as not to apply resistance to the wind applied from the second blow fan 40 , so that the wind can pass through more easily.

Next, the third connection pipe 300 connects the second water tank 20 and the second cooling module 80 and provides a pipe through which water moves.

The pressure can be fed to the second cooling module 80 through the , and the installation location is not particularly limited like the above-described first pump 50 .

Next, the fourth connecting pipe 400 connects the second cooling module 80 and the first water tank 10 and provides a pipe through which the water passing through the second cooling module 80 is recovered and moved.

That is, when the second pump 60 pumps water from the second water tank 20 to the third connection pipe 300 , the pressurized water flows through the second cooling module 80 and the fourth connection pipe 400 sequentially. After passing, it may be returned to the first water tank (10).

On the other hand, when the heat-exchanged water circulates through each system of the cooling unit 1 passes through the first water tank 10 and the second water tank 20, the first Peltier element (P1) and the second Peltier element (P2) By the continuous cooling, it is possible to maintain a constant temperature during the circulation process.

In addition, since the cooling unit 1 does not expose water to the outside and at the same time, there is no need to additionally supplement or discharge water unless there is a special circumstance, it has a structure capable of minimizing the temperature change of water.

In addition, cooling efficiency can be maximized by applying cold air not only to the upper part of the ceramic block but also to the lower part.

On the other hand, if the wind is blown directly above or below the ceramic block, the direction of the wind can be more concentrated, but the projected area of the wind is relatively narrowed and arranged in a wide area to cover the moving ceramic block. it becomes difficult to do Accordingly, in this embodiment, each connecting pipe is rotated and bent at a predetermined angle so that the direction of the wind blown by the first blow fan 30 and the second blow fan 40 can be arbitrarily adjusted by the user to the conveyor 3 Based on , the first blow fan 30, the first cooling module 70, and the second blow fan 40 and the second blow fan 40 can be rotatably disposed at a predetermined angle.
