Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention makes a molded product by pressing tile clay with a lower mold having a piece member and an upper mold that is paired with the lower mold, and processes the edge of the molded article into a split skin tone on the lower mold. The present invention relates to a dry manufacturing method for tiles.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a dry manufacturing method of tiles, it has been known that a molded product immediately after demolding may be re-pressed with an upper die due to a failure of a pressing device, and thereby the edge of the molded product is broken. By the way, there are currently tiles with split skin that have a natural texture on the surface and side edges. If the purpose is only to roughen the side end face of the tile, the above phenomenon may be used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 12, the four sides of the square tile T are tapered, for example, the bottom surface of the truncated pyramid corresponds to the back surface of the tile, and the upper surface of the truncated pyramid shape corresponds to the surface of the tile. is there. Such a tile T has a form in which the joint B spreads outward in a state of being attached to the casing A as shown in the figure, so that the filling of the joint material C is easy first. There is a merit that a gap is not easily formed between the joint material C and the tile T, third, dust is hardly attached to the joint B, and fourth, rainwater does not remain in the joint B. Therefore, when the end face of such a tapered tile is made to have a split skin tone, the conventional method cannot be used because it is irregularly deformed and cannot be controlled in a tapered shape. Therefore, at present, it has been difficult to make the end face of the tapered tile T into a split skin tone.
[0004]
On the other hand, the present applicant presses the clay for tiles with a lower mold having a piece member and an upper mold that is paired with the lower mold to make a molded product, and the molded product is fired. In the dry manufacturing method, the upper mold surface is formed so that the shape of the surface in contact with the upper mold of the molded product rises from the position where it enters the inner side from the side end surface by an arbitrary amount, the piece member and the lower mold Fill the mold recess formed in the mold with clay for tile and press with the upper mold, lift the upper mold and the piece member together to move the molded product out of the mold recess, and raise only the upper mold Dry manufacturing of tiles that lift the mold surface from the molded product and move the upper mold down against the molded product that has been demolded and expanded to break the edges of the molded product or cracks for it. Provided a method.
[0005]
This dry manufacturing method breaks the edge of the molded product, so part of the tile clay is wasted, the broken waste becomes waste and worsens the dust problem. Including the problem that work efficiency is poor because it is necessary to remove the remaining debris.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to produce tiles having a side surface with a split skin tone without waste of tile clay, and to produce cracked waste as waste, and can be manufactured efficiently. It is to provide a dry manufacturing method of tiles.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention creates a molded product by pressing a tile clay with a lower mold having a piece member and an upper mold that is paired with the lower mold, and the edge of the molded product is placed on the lower mold. In the dry manufacturing method for tiles that are processed with a split skin tone, the front side of the molded product is molded with the mold surface of the upper mold, and the back side of the molded product is molded with the mold surface of the piece member. , Put the scrap made by dividing the edge of the molded product into the lower mold recess made by lowering the piece member, and then put the regular tile clay into the mold recess, Provided is a tile dry manufacturing method in which tile clay is pressed together.
[0008]
According to the dry manufacturing method described above, cracked scraps are included in a part of the back side of the molded product, but since the manufacturing object is a split skin tone tile, the scrap is mixed with the clay for tiles and the uneven portion Even if this occurs, it can be camouflaged with a rough appearance, and even if the debris mixes and adversely affects the appearance of the tile, it appears on the back side of the tile and does not appear at all on the surface. Of course, the waste is made by pressing and hardening the tile clay, so there is no effect on the strength even if mixed with regular tile clay.
[0009]
In addition, as in claim 2, if the waste on the lower mold is pushed and dropped into the mold recess by a powder box for filling the clay for tiles, the step of removing the waste can be omitted, The work efficiency is good because a special process for throwing the waste into the mold recess is unnecessary.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a molded product, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a tile, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the tile, FIGS. 4 to 8 are cross-sectional views of a press apparatus explaining the manufacturing process, and FIG. FIG. 10 is an essential part cross-sectional view showing a state before being captured by the conveying means. FIG.
[0011]
The basic shape of the tile T of the present invention is a thin quadrangular frustum shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the bottom surface of the quadrangular frustum shape corresponds to the back surface of the tile, and the top surface of the quadrangular frustum shape corresponds to the tile surface 1. . Therefore, the four side end surfaces 2 are tapered.
[0012]
As described above, the tile T having such a shape is publicly known, but the tile T of the present invention is characterized in that not only the surface 1 but also the tapered four-side end surface 2 has a rough skin tone. The dry manufacturing method will be described below. In addition, since the tile raw material and baking method of this invention are the same as the past, description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0013]
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the pressing device 3 used in the present invention. The press device 3 is generally composed of a lower mold 5 having a piece member 4, an upper mold 6 that forms a pair with the lower mold 5, and a powder box 7 that reciprocally slides on the upper surface of the lower mold 5. Usually, the upper die 6, the lower die 5 and the piece member 4 are integrally formed in a plurality of sets (for example, four sets) so that a plurality of molded products can be made by a single press.
[0014]
The lower mold 5 is fixed, and the lower mold 5 has a mold hole 8 in which the piece member 4 is fitted up and down freely. The top of the piece member 4 is a mold surface that forms the back surface of a molded product 9 to be described later, and a mold recess 10 is formed by the mold surface of the top and the mold hole 8 in a state of being lowered in FIG. On the other hand, the upper mold 6 is movable up and down, and enters and exits the mold recess 10 of the lower mold 5 from above. The bottom surface of the upper mold 6 is a mold surface 6a that forms the upper surface of a molded product 9 to be described later.
[0015]
The powder box 7 has a square ring shape and is filled with granular clay for tiles 11. The powder box 7 has no bottom, and when the upper surface of the lower mold 5 is slid back and forth, the tile clay 11 falls into the mold recess 10.
[0016]
Next, the dry manufacturing method of the tile T by the press device 3 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper mold 6 is placed at the raised position, while the piece member 4 is lowered to form the mold recess 10 in the lower mold 5. In this state, when the powder box 7 is slid as shown by arrow X in FIG. 4 and passed over the mold recess 10, the tile clay 11 falls into the mold recess 10. Then, when the powder box 7 is returned in this state, the tile clay 11 is filled in a state where the mold recess 10 is worn out as shown in FIG.
[0017]
Next, the upper mold 6 is lowered as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, and the tile clay 11 in the mold recess 10 is pressed and pressed. As shown in FIG. 1, the molded product 9 thus compacted has a raised portion 12 that rises in an arc starting from a position slightly entered from the side end face, and further has a mountain shape in a region between the raised portion 12 and the side end face. The auxiliary piece 13 is projected upward.
[0018]
Next, the upper die 6 and the piece member 4 are lifted together (raised at the same time), and the molded product 9 is moved out of the mold recess 10 in a pressurized state. Then, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the piece member 4 is stopped when the molded product 9 comes out of the mold recess 10, and only the upper mold 6 is lifted by several millimeters as it is. Then, the molded product 9 is released from the pressurized state and demolded and expanded, and the whole is greatly expanded. In this state, when the upper die 6 is moved down (dropped) to collide with the molded product 9, there is a large and small deviation Y between the shape of the upper surface of the molded product 9 and the mold surface 6a of the upper die 6 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the mold surface 6a of the upper mold 6 collides with the edge of the raised part 12 of the molded product 9, and the impact load is concentrated on the collision part. Due to this impact load, a crack 14 enters near the starting point of the collision portion, that is, the raised portion 12. In general, since the crack 14 proceeds toward the weaker side, that is, toward the side end face having a smaller thickness, the crack 14 is directed toward the lower corner portion of the molded product 9. In this embodiment, the upper mold is set to have a weaker impact force and stops in a state in which a crack 14 has entered, and does not crack completely.
[0019]
Next, the upper mold 6 is raised, and subsequently the molded product 9 on the lower mold 5 is captured by the conveying means 15 as shown in FIGS. The conveying means 15 is a known one provided with a plurality of suction pads 17 (for example, four for one molded product) on the lower surface of the air box 16, and sucks with the suction pads 17 to capture the molded product 9.
[0020]
The conveying means 15 is provided with a pressing means 18 on the lower surface of the air box 16. The pressing means 18 is a shape in which an elastic body 18 a is squarely fixed to the lower surface of the air box 16 in a ring shape, and has a shape overlapping the auxiliary piece 13 of the molded product 9. Further, the pressing means 18 protrudes below the suction pad 17 of the transport means 15 and hits the auxiliary piece 13 before the suction pad 17 attracts the upper surface of the molded product 9.
[0021]
Since the conveying means 15 is as described above, the elastic body 18a of the pressing means 18 hits the auxiliary piece 13 and presses the auxiliary piece 13 before the molded product 9 is captured by the suction pad 17. It is transmitted to the molded product 9 through and easily cracks from the crack 14 portion. Since the crack 14 is directed from almost the starting point of the raised portion 12 toward the lower corner portion of the molded product 9, the side end surface after the crack is almost tapered as intended. Next, the suction pad 17 of the conveying means 15 is attracted to the molded product 9 and suspended, transferred to the next step, and baked by a known method.
[0022]
On the other hand, cracked scraps 19 remain on the upper surface of the lower mold 5, but the piece member 4 is lowered while leaving the scraps 19 to make the mold recess 10. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the powder box 7 is slid, the scrap 19 remaining on the lower mold 5 at the tip is dropped into the mold recess 10, and the powder box 7 is further slid as it is. The top is filled with regular tile clay 11 and thereafter the above steps are repeated. Therefore, the broken waste 19 constitutes a part of the molded product 9, that is, the back side of the tile T.
[0023]
Usually, the scrap 19 remaining on the lower mold 5 is once hardened, so that it is commonly collected and processed as waste. However, the present inventor, firstly, when the manufacturing object is a split skin tone tile, even if a non-uniform portion is generated by mixing the scrap 19 with the regular tile clay 11, it is difficult to stand out. Secondly, even if the dust 19 is mixed and adversely affects the appearance of the tile T, it is considered that there is no problem if it is the back surface, and the normal tile clay 11 is put into the lower mold 5 without removing the waste 19. Previously, it was put into the mold recess 10 so that the scrap 19 was included in a part of the back side of the molded product 9. As a result, many results were obtained, such as a substantial reduction of waste, saving of the tile clay 11 and an increase in efficiency due to the omission of the process of removing the waste 19.
[0024]
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiments. For example, you may make it attach the guide member 20 which guides the waste 19 around the type | mold recessed part 10 in the type | mold recessed part 10 as shown in FIG. Further, any means for putting the scraps 19 into the mold recess 10 may be used. As an example other than the embodiment, a funnel-shaped scrap receiving portion 21 is provided on the upper periphery of the mold recess 10 as shown in FIG. The scraps 19 that have been formed and naturally fall into the mold recess 10 as the piece member 4 descends, or on the opposite side of the powder box 7 on the lower mold 5 across the mold recess 10. A scrap pushing slider may be installed, and the scrap 19 may be dropped into the mold recess 10 with the slider before sliding the powder box 7. Furthermore, the means for breaking the molded product 9 to generate the scrap 19 may be a method other than the embodiment.
[0025]
Contrary to the embodiment, if the front side of the molded product 9 is formed by the mold surface of the piece member 4 and the back side of the molded product 9 is formed by the mold surface 6a of the upper mold 6, the taper of the side end surface is increased. The direction can be reversed. Further, any form of the front and back surfaces of the tile T may be used.
[0026]
In the embodiment, the auxiliary piece 13 protrudes from the edge of the molded product 9, but the auxiliary piece 13 may not be provided as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b). Even in this case, if the pressing means 18 is lengthened, the shoulder of the molded product 9 can be pressed by the pressing means 18 after the crack 14 is made as shown in FIG. Note that the pressing means 18 in FIG. 11B has a shape that does not contact the inside of the crack 14 of the molded product 9 even when the suction pad 17 is lowered to a position where it adsorbs to the molded product 9. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the pressing means 18 with an elastic body as in the embodiment.
[0027]
In the embodiment, the piece member 4 is moved up and down. However, the piece member 4 can be fixed and the lower mold 5 can be moved up and down. In addition, the raised portion 12 of the embodiment is raised in an arc shape, but may be raised with an angle in a tapered shape.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
According to the dry manufacturing method of tiles of the present invention, the scraps that break the edges of the molded product are used on the back side of the tiles, so that the effect of drastically reducing waste scraps and saving tile clay is demonstrated. However, even if there is a possibility that non-uniform parts may be generated by mixing the scrap with regular clay for tiles, it is possible to camouflage the rough-skinned tile with a rough appearance. Even if it adversely affects the appearance of the tile, it is not a problem at all because it appears on the back side of the tile.
[0029]
In addition, as in claim 2, if the waste on the lower mold is pushed and dropped into the mold recess by a powder box for filling the clay for tiles, the step of removing the waste can be omitted, The work efficiency is good because a special process for throwing the waste into the mold recess is unnecessary.
