Definitions

  • This invention relates to a machine for the production of ceramic products, in particular ceramic sanitaryware.
  • machines for the production of ceramic products vary according to both their primary structures, such as their mould and clamping units, and their auxiliary structures, such as the fixed machine frames and the units or plates for supporting and moving the mould, depending on the type of products to be made, which may be washbasins, toilet bowls, bidets, shower trays, etc.
  • This specification refers to a machine for the production of toilet bowls and bidets.
  • One such machine of a type known as single mould machine, basically comprises, in a minimum configuration:
  • the drainage system is located inside porous moulds to allow the fluids that go through the inside surfaces of the mould during the casting cycle to be channelled to the outside, or to pump fluids in under pressure in the opposite direction in order to detach the moulded product from the mould walls or to recondition the mould part.
  • the above mentioned three units for moving and clamping the mould parts along the respective movement axes usually consist of a plate that supports the mould part and a movement cylinder for moving the plate and mould part assembly towards and away from the casting zone defined by the fixed position of the mould base.
  • Each plate is equipped with frames or means of sliding on respective guides located both at floor level and at a certain height in order to allow the mould to change between a closed configuration, where the four mould parts are close together, and an open, product demoulding configuration, where at least the top and sides of the mould are moved away from the base: the top of the mould along a vertical axis and the two sides of the mould in opposite directions along a horizontal axis.
  • the movement cylinders - that is, the means which contribute to opening/closing the different parts of the mould - also constitute and act as clamping means for keeping the mould parts in the correctly closed position, overcoming the forces generated inside the cavity formed by the mould during the casting cycle.
  • the movement units that is, the cylinders
  • the movement units are required to move the respective mould parts to the closed configuration and then act as resisting elements for opposing the forces generated by the slip under pressure during the casting cycle: in practice, these forces are transferred to the machine structure as a whole.
  • This type of single-mould machine was also followed by an implementation, for increasing the productivity of casting installations, with multiple mould features (see European patent EP 885.701 to the same Applicant as the present one), comprising a plurality of moulds (four), each structurally similar to the one described above and positioned in line side by side, with the end plates of the mould sides of the outermost moulds equipped with the above mentioned means of clamping along the horizontal axis.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a machine that can be used to create modular installations with space-saving, light-weight structures in series and having high-productivity characteristics.
  • Another aim of the invention is to maximize automation at all the stages of the production process using a simple, low-cost constructional architecture.
  • the above aims are achieved by providing a machine for making ceramic products, in particular a machine for making ceramic sanitaryware and comprising a four-part mould, where each mould part has a corresponding outside supporting portion.
  • Each part of the mould and the respective outside supporting portion may be separated from each other by respective sliding and positioning means in such a way as to allow only the parts of the mould to be changed in the machine.
  • the mould can be changed quickly and easily while keeping the other operating parts (clamping and containing units) in the same predetermined position and without having to reconfigure them for a different mould each time.
  • all the mould parts can be set up and configured according to standard outside dimensions and architectures, as can the corresponding outside part and, hence, also the containing means, thus considerably reducing the overall costs of the machine.
  • the mould can be changed by a simple robotized unit because the mould is relatively light in weight. This factor, too, considerably reduces the costs of the machine and of the auxiliary equipment.
  • the machine 1 according to the invention is used for the production of ceramic products, in particular ceramic sanitaryware.
  • the ceramic product M is a toilet bowl purely by way of an example but without thereby limiting the scope of the invention.
  • the machine 1 essentially comprises:
  • the movement axis X is substantially horizontal.
  • the means 6, 7 have at least one open-ended tubular body made as a single part, matchingly shaped to be coupled to the mould S to enable the mould S to be enclosed on four closing surfaces or outsides of it.
  • the clamping and containing means in practice, have a twofold function: holding the mould in the closed position through the tubular body 6 and opposing the forces acting on the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S during a step of casting, that is, making, the product M.
  • the tubular body 6 comprises at least one inflatable element 7 which opposes the forces acting on the mould S.
  • the element 7 (or the two or more elements, depending on the geometrical architecture of the tubular body) can be supplied with a fluid under pressure between a non-operating, limit configuration of minimum pressure and reduced size (see Figure 5 ) and a second operating, limit configuration of maximum pressure and maximum size (as shown in Figure 3 ).
  • the inflatable element 7 is located inside the tubular body 6 and acts on the closing surfaces of the mould S, that is to say, round the full perimeter of the mould S.
  • the inflatable element 7 will not be described in detail since its main functions and structural specifications are fully described in European patent EP 1.043.132 and in European patent application EP 1.905.561 in the name of the same Applicant as the present.
  • tubular body 6 is of the type made as a single, rigid part, cylindrical in shape and controlled by the movement means 8.
  • the inflatable element 7 may be divided into four parts 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d which, when under maximum pressure, may be configured, in cross section, like a cylindrical segment with a straight surface in contact with the respective closing surface of the mould S part 2, 3, 4, 5 (see Figures 2 and 3).
  • Figure 3 also schematically illustrates means 7e for feeding/discharging a fluid to and from the parts of the inflatable element 7.
  • the latter is provided, on the outside and on both sides of it, with supports 12 equipped with bottom carriages 13 resting on a pair of rails 14.
  • the bottom carriages 13 are controlled by the above mentioned movement means 8 allowing the body 6 to slide along the axis X in both directions (see arrows FX, Figures 1 , 4 , 6 , 9 ), from the first, non-operating position to the second, operating position where the mould S parts 2, 3, 4, 5 are covered, in the closed configuration, and vice versa.
  • the movement means 8 may consist of a motor 8m, the latter being mounted behind the rails 14 and driving a pair of wheels 8a, 8b round which an endless belt 8c associated with the tubular body 6 is trained.
  • the machine 1 has an internal frame 15, or stand, in the shape of an upturned U, which supports the entire mould S at one end of it and in hanging fashion.
  • the frame 15 is mounted at a certain height and extends parallel to the axis X in such a way as to allow the tubular body 6 to pass in both directions.
  • the frame 15 also supports:
  • the side parts 3, 4 must be moved apart (this being a more critical operation since it involves large surfaces that may be liquid cast - that is, very thin) and it is therefore necessary to apply a relatively low force, followed by air, to allow all the contact zones to be detached (within a certain lapse of time) and completely separated.
  • retaining means 16 are supported at a certain height by the internal frame 15, at the front of the zone where the mould S rests on the frame 15.
  • the first means 16 are located under the frame 15, in a position where they do not interfere with the movement of the tubular body 6 and operate in coordinated fashion on each of the side parts 3, 4. More in detail, the means 16 may, by way of a nonlimiting example, comprise a pair of opposite cylinders 16a, 16b, each equipped with a rocker lever 16c (see Figure 2 and arrows F16) that swings between a lowered, non-operating horizontal position and an operating, vertical position where it abuts against a bar 30 protruding from the respective side part 3, 4 of the mould S: the abutting action of the levers 16c against the bars 30 occurs in opposite directions so as to clamp the two parts 3, 4 towards each other.
  • a rocker lever 16c see Figure 2 and arrows F16
  • the second means 17, too, are supported at a certain height, centrally with respect the axis X and on bars forming part of the internal frame 15 at a position where they do not interfere with the passage of the tubular body 6.
  • the second means 17 may comprise two pairs of actuators 17a, 17b located in front of and behind the zone occupied by the mould S on the frame 15.
  • Each pair of actuators 17a, 17b is associated, bilaterally, with a wall 15a of the frame 15 in such a way as to abut against the respective bar 30 protruding from the corresponding side part 3, 4 of the mould S.
  • the side parts 3, 4 of the mould S are equipped with bottom carriage units 18 located on respective bases 19 on the frame 15 of the machine 1.
  • the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S are each equipped with auxiliary pick-up and release means 9 adapted to allow them to pass from a first demoulding or mould change position, where the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S are apart from each other, and a second, closed operating position, where the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S are close to each other.
  • the means 9 may also be used both for the demoulding movement and for changing the mould S, while on the base 5, they are used only for changing the mould S.
  • the machine 1 may also be served by a robotized unit 10 located in the vicinity of the machine 1 itself.
  • the robotized unit 10 usually used to manipulate and process the product M, may be used to pick up and release the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S through suitable pick-up and release means 11, shown in Figures 4 and 5 , in a preferred but nonlimiting embodiment.
  • the upper part 2, or top is equipped with pins 2p protruding from its front and rear ends, constituting the aforementioned auxiliary means 9, in order to allow it to be picked up and released by the robotized unit 10 (see Figure 4 ) with the respective pick-up means 11 for:
  • each of the side parts 3, 4 of the mould S is equipped with pins 3p, 4p protruding from its front and rear ends, constituting the auxiliary means 9, in order to allow them to be picked up and released by the robotized unit 10 (with the respective pick-up means 11) to perform the same operations as those listed above for the top 2.
  • the robotized unit 10 must move the side parts 3, 4 along a preferably arcuate path away from the product M and in such a way as to keep clear of the product M.
  • the bottom part 5, or base, of the mould is equipped with side flanges 20 (see in particular Figures 3 and 5 ) to allow the base 5 to rest in hanging fashion on the frame of the machine 1, in such a way as to enable the bottom zone of the tubular body 6 to pass under the base 5 itself.
  • the base 5, too is equipped with pins 5p protruding from its front and rear ends, constituting the auxiliary means 9, in order to allow it to be picked up and released by the robotized unit 10 (with the respective pick-up means 11) in order to move it away from, or position it on, the frame 15 only when the entire mould S is changed in the machine 1.
  • the base 5 also has means 21 for quick coupling to accessory fluid feed and drainage units 22 (illustrated schematically in Figure 6 ) on the mould S.
  • the machine 1 also comprises an external gantry frame 23 equipped with a plurality of projecting brackets 24 on which the top 2 and the side parts 3, 4 can be placed in hanging fashion by the robotized unit 10: that way, the robotized unit 10 can be left free to substitute the pick-up and release means 11 with a suitable element for picking up and manipulating the product M (not shown here).
  • FIGS 7 to 9 illustrate another embodiment of the machine 1 described above according to the invention.
  • the clamping and containing means comprise the rigid, tubular body 6.
  • the rigid body 6 has a cylindrical tubular shape.
  • the body 6 is equipped, on its inside surface, with a plurality of elastically deformable ring-shaped sectors 7, or sleeves, for opposing the forces acting on the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S during the casting of the product M.

  • the inflatable elements 7 are thinner and can extend continuously round the full inside circumference of the body 6.
  • Each part 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S and the respective outside supporting portions 2', 3', 4', 5' may be separated from each other by respective sliding and positioning means 25 in such a way as to allow only the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S to be changed in the machine 1.
  • the sliding and positioning means 25 may be in the form of suitable guides and counter-guides located between the contact surfaces of the respective parts, while the separating and housing movement may be performed by the robotized unit 10 using the aforementioned pins on the parts 2, 3, 4, 5 of the mould S.
