Description

3-PIECE VITRIFIED CASTING MACHINE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention is about a 3-piece pressure vitrified casting machine that is used in vitrified ceramic production factories, which suppliesquick and easier production of vitrified products such as vacuum toilets or detailed special toilets.

The invention is related to a 3-piece pressure vitrified casting machine especially consisting of at least one casting the body under pressure every half an hour, without the need for working staff, at least one rim casting, which casts the body with pressure in every half an hour without any need for working staff, at least one siphon casting, which casts the siphon every half an hour with pressure without the need for working staff.

STATE OF THE ART

The two-piece toilet structures basically consist of the toilet bowl and the washing ring accommodated on the toilet bowl. Standard production is realised by casting into classicalplaster molds. In the standard production method, it is necessary to work with a large number of molds, which increases the labour requirement while also extending the production time. Considering this situation, production costs are quite high. In addition, there are many physical defects in the product obtained from plaster molds.

In the current technique, vacuum toilet casting is possible with classical plaster molds and old type machines. With this method, two castings can be made in 24 hours, since the number of molds is very high, the labour is also high, and the physical defects created by the molds on the product are more in this old method. Current applications are made with the old method and labour is very low, quality is low, dangerous and costly in terms of job security. The current technique is poured into very large heavy plaster molds.

In the current technique, since only 2 castings can be made in 24 hours, the number of plaster molds is very high, that is to say, it consists of 40 body molds, 40 siphon molds and 40 rim molds and the mechanical movements of these molds are supplied by manpower.

In the current technique, it is poured with atmospheric pressure and the product rigidity and quality are low.

Since the number of molds in the current technique is high, the area covered by the system is too much.

As an alternative to the standard production method, resin molded and pressure casting machines are used today. In these machines, the toilet body and washing ring that make up the toilet bowl are produced by molding separately and then the washing ring is placed on the toilet bowl by sticking it on.

In the application number CN107672013, a production line for a toilet performs high- pressure casting30 is presented. The production line of the invention subjectconsists of molds, mold charging mechanism, a transport mechanism, mold locking mechanism, assembly frame and a incisingpipe. Molds consist of body molds and washing ring molds. The transport mechanism and the moldcharging mechanism are arranged in the assembly frame. Body and washing ring obtained in the molds are combined with the adhesive applied to the body. After the adhesive is applied manually on the body, the washing ring transport mechanism is left on the body.

In the application numbered CN105773828, a fully automatic high-pressure forming machine with robots to compound the ring and the body is presented. In this application, where the casting process is carried out with robots, the labour force is reduced and the production efficiency is increased. In a way to supply these, body and ring production is made and adhesive application, joining process, transport process and so on, all operations are controlled by robots.

In the application numbered EP1273406, a pressure casting device for toilet production is presented. Relevant casting device is formed by two machines that are separate from each other and the toilet and its ring are shaped, and the body and the ring are combined with a transport device located between the machines.

In the application numbered CN102862214, a high-pressure casting machine is submitted that permits to produce the ring and the body together. Relevant casting machine includes casting machine components, body conveyor line, ring conveyor line and PLC. Casting machine components consist of main chassis, body casting machine, spin-transfer machine, ring casting machine and ring lifting-transfer machine and two parallel conveyor lines on which these machines move.

In all these casting machines and devices, the production of the body and the ring is supplied by casting molds and then the body and ring are combined with the use of additional machines or robotic systems. All machine components used in lifting the ring and carrying it on the body, cause the size of the casting machine to increase, make extra investment costs a current issue and increase operating costs.

Consequently, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the current technique, the need for a new economical, useful, pressure vitrified casting machine and the insufficiency of existing solutions made it necessary to make an improvement in the related technical field. PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The current invention is about a 3-piece pressure vitrified casting machine, which is used in vitrified ceramic production factories, is developed to eliminate the above- mentioned disadvantages and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field, supplying the quick and easier production of vitrified products such as vacuum toilets or detailed special toilets.

The most important purpose of the invention is to realise casting every half an hour in new generation pressurized and resin molded machines. Vacuum toilet is poured from three parts as body, siphon and rim in these machines and then these three parts are glued together. Thus, the excessive mold parts and the physical defects caused by these and excessive labour costs are eliminated. There is no need for manpower in our invention. The system is surrounded by a fence and the machine makes the casting to its own, then compounds the parts finally, the manipulator robot takes the finished product from the machine.

Another purpose of the invention is to supply a compact pressure casting machine with reduced machine components and reduced dimensions.

Another purpose of the invention is to introduce a pressure casting machine that increases production efficiency.

Another purpose of the invention is that the cost of the mold is lower since smaller resin molds are cast.

Another purpose of the invention is that it consists of 1 body mold, 1 siphon mold and 1 rim thickness, since it can be cast every half an hour and it supplies mechanical movements to be performed unmannedautomatically. Another purpose of the invention is to increase the product quality even more by casting with high-pressure.

Another purpose of the invention is that the area covered is much less since the number of molds is very low.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed explanation, preferred embodiments of the pressure vitrified casting machine are described only for a better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

In Figure 1-14, pasta cutting machine and its details are shown. In the invention, the vitrified product is poured as 3 parts in body casting (160), rim casting (170), siphon casting (310) systems. Then the body, rim and siphon are connected to each other. Here, the front frame (110) carries the whole system. In the invention, there are two mold cars (120). They carry the top resin mold(162) of the body and the male resin mold(174) of the rim. These mold cars are driven by the electric motor (270). In the invention, the small column (130) serves to accommodate the rim male resin mold (174) in approximate movement, while the large column (140) serves to cushion the body top resin mold (162) in approximate movement. Thanks to the fully automatic operation of our invention under pressure, casting is made every half an hour without the need for working staff. In the current invention, the rear mold car (200), which carries and moves the body resin molds, takes its position for casting by driving forward with the help of the hydraulic cylinder (250). As can be seen in Figure 5, the body left (165) and body right

(163) jackets in the body casting (160) section move towards each other with the help of the hydraulic cylinder (250) and the body right (164) body left (166) resin molds on them, side lock cylinders (280) turn the side locks (230) and lock the horizontal clamping hydraulic cylinders (220). Horizontal clamping hydraulic cylinders (220) clamp body right (164), body left (166) resin molds thanks to body left (165) and body right (163) jackets. The lifting hydraulic cylinders (180) close the body top resin mold jacket (161) and the body top resin mold (162) attached to it, over the body right

(164) and body left (166) resin molds. Tilting cylinders (290) move the vertical clamping hydraulic cylinders (210) to the clamping position. The vertical clamping hydraulic cylinders (210) clamp the body top resin mold steel jacket (161) and the body top resin mold (162) attached to it. As can be seen in Figure 5, the body casting (160) part is entered into pressure casting and the body casting process is completed by pouring liquid mud into it. All jackets mentioned here function to prevent deformation of the resin molds during the casting process and are preferably made of steel.

For rim casting, the lifting hydraulic cylinders 180 in the rim casting section 170 lower the rim male resin mold(174). Then the male resin mold mechanism (175) moves the rim male resin mold to the casting position, where the rim male resin mold mechanism (175) carries the male mold (174) of the rim piece, rotates it, prepares it to be cast and puts it in the sticking position on the body. The attached rim female resin mold(172) is then pressed into the male resin mold(174) by the hammerhead cylinder (240). Afterwards, liquid mud is pressed into the molds and the rim part is poured under pressure. Therefore, the rim casting process is completed. Here, the rim fixed support bolt (171) prevents the male resin mold (174) of the rim piece from deforming under pressure. Rim fixed clamping bolt (173) guides the ram head cylinder (240). Here, the rim casting inlet cylinder (300) creates movement for the rim to enter and exit the casting state.

The siphon left (313.5) and siphon right (317.5) jackets in the siphon casting (310) section move towards each other with the help of the hydraulic cylinder (250) and close the siphon right (316.5) siphon left (317) resin molds on them. Siphon lock cylinder (318) locks the siphon side clamping cylinders (314.5) by turning the siphon side locks (313.5). Siphon side clamping cylinders (314.5) clamp product siphon right

(316.5), product siphon left (317) resin molds thanks to siphon left (315.5) and siphon right (317.5) jackets. The siphon vertical hydraulic cylinders (312) close the siphon top resin mold (316), the siphon right (316.5) and the siphon left (317) on the resin molds.The siphon top clamping cylinders (315) clamp the siphon top resin mold (316). Thus, the resin molds forming the siphon are closed and clamped, the casting is started by pouring liquid mud into the siphon. Thus, the siphon pouring process is completed. In addition, the siphon side carries the first frame (313), the siphon top resin mold (316) and the siphon top mold car (311). Here, the siphon topmoldcar (311) moves the siphon top resin mold (316) back and forth, as well as the siphon along with the top resin mold (316) for mounting the siphon to the body.The siphon side carries the right (316.5) and left (317) resin molds, while the second frame (314) carries the right (317.5) and left (315.5) mold jackets.Also, the siphon column (311.5) runs the top part core.

After the casting process is completed in all the vitrified product parts (body, rim and siphon), the tilting cylinders (290) on the body part move the vertical clamping hydraulic cylinders (210) to the horizontal position. The body attached to it picks up the top resin mold(162) and the moldcar(120) brings them to the parking position. After this process, the top of the casting body is opened and bonding mud is applied with a robot to the place where the siphon will sit. In parallel with these operations, the siphon lock cylinder (318) turns the siphon side locks (313.5) and opens the siphon side clamping cylinders (314.5).The siphon left (313.5) and the siphon right

(317.5) jackets in the siphon casting (310) section move in opposite directions with the help of the hydraulic cylinder (250) and open the siphon right (317.5) siphon left (315.5) resin molds on them.The siphon top mold car (311) moves forward with the help of the electric motor (312.5) and the siphon brings the top resin mold (316) onto the body. Then, the siphon vertical hydraulic cylinders (312) make the siphon part by means of the topmolding and carrying handle (310.5). After leaving the siphon part of the product inside the body, the siphon mechanisms are pulled to their positions for casting. At this time, the robot applies bonding mud to the place where the rim part of the product will sit. Lifting cylinders (180) raise the rim male resin mold(174) and the rim portion of the product that has been cast. Moldcar(120) brings the rim portion of the product onto the body.The rim tumble cylinder (320)takes the rim male resin (174) and turns the product into a horizontal position.The rim male resin mold mechanism(175) aligns the rim part to the body with the position combining cylinder (150). Lifting cylinders (180) rim male resin mold(174) and the spilt part of the product moves down to sit on the body. After the rim mechanisms drop the rim part of the product into the body, they are pulled into their position for casting. After all these processes, the three parts (body, siphon and rim) that form the product are combined. Here, the position centring mechanism (190) keeps the resin molds (Body top resin mold and rim male resin mold) in the correct position, which are dynamic in the case of casting and bonding. (This process is also supported by electronic sensors. )For the product to be taken from the machine, the body side lock cylinders (280) turn the side locks (230) and open the horizontal clamping hydraulic cylinders (220). Body left (165) and body right (163) jackets located in the body casting (160) section move in the opposite direction to each other with the help of a hydraulic cylinder (250), opening the resin molds of the body right (164) body left (166) located on them.The rear mold car (200) and the resin rear part are pulled back with the help of a hydraulic cylinder (250) and exit the product.The vitrified product is now freely left on the bottom resin mold (168) of the body.After that, the robot product holder with the help of a calliper it separates it from the machine by holding it.After the final product is taken from the machine, the machine enters the casting again with all its parts. The scope of protection of this application is determined in the claims and it is obvious that a person skilled in the art can reveal the innovation presented in the invention by using similar configurations and/or apply this configuration to other similar fields used in the relevant technique. Therefore, it is obvious that such structures will lack the criteria of innovation and especially exceeding the state of art.
