Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Object of the invention] Industrial field of application The present invention provides a manufacturing line system for ceramic products that improves productivity in response to differences in operating time of each process during integrated manufacturing of ceramic products. It is related to.

Conventional technology Conventionally, as a manufacturing line system for ceramic products, the incinerator itself reaches a temperature of over 1,000 degrees.
It takes several days to stop and restart the operation of the kiln, so it is operated on holidays and day and night, whereas the white fabric manufacturing process, such as molding and drying the blank fabric, is a regular work day. Productivity and operating hours differ between the white background manufacturing process and the firing process, and work may be carried out day and night in two shifts depending on the firing process, or work must be done on consecutive days, resulting in a poor working environment. It's here.

In order to solve this problem, between the blank manufacturing process and the firing process, we created a storage area for storing drying carts loaded with hundreds of blank sheets, and a storage area for storing firing carts loaded with several hundred sheets of fired products. However, in this stocking method, each trolley is very large and heavy, so
It is impossible to load and stock products in multiple stages, which increases costs due to the need for a large number of carts, requires a large amount of space, makes it difficult to secure a work place, and because each cart is heavy. It has drawbacks that hinder work such as movement, and it also has the drawback of
Due to the use of the above-mentioned carts, the processing time of the incinerator usually takes more than 40 hours to produce the final product, and the processing capacity is limited.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention utilizes the thermal energy of the main drying chamber to save the thermal energy required for drying in the pre-drying chamber, reduces the installation space, and significantly reduces the drying and baking time. The difference in productivity and operating time that occurs between the firing process and the blank manufacturing process can be absorbed by the stockyard line, and the firing furnace can be operated continuously at all times, and the difference in productivity and operating time that occurs between the firing process and the blank manufacturing process can be absorbed, and the firing furnace can be operated continuously at all times. Continuous production is possible without any problems even during maintenance inspections, etc., and depending on the stock amount, it is possible to support unmanned operation at night, etc., and it can also shorten the working hours of workers during daytime operations. In addition, since both the pallet and the baking cart are lightweight, it is possible to simplify the equipment used to move each system, and it is possible to reduce the number of large pieces of stock compared to the conventional baking cart. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a production line system for ceramic products that does not require any heavy and expensive carts and reduces production costs.

[Structure of the invention]

Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above, the present invention provides a press line for press molding at the base point of the production line, and on one side of the press line, press molded white material is placed on a pallet. A drying line consisting of a multi-stage drying oven, which is placed upside down and used to dry white backgrounds, is installed in parallel, with the upper part being a pre-drying room and the lower part being a main drying room, separated by a metal partition wall. On one side of the drying line, a firing line consisting of multistage incinerators is arranged in parallel, and on the other side of the drying line, there is a firing line that connects the outlet side and the inlet side of the incinerator. A trolley moving track is provided, and above the moving track in the firing trolley moving track, the glazed white material carried in from the glazing line connected to the drying line is stored and placed lying down on the firing trolley. A blank stock conveyor is equipped with a baking cart loading device, and a baking cart loading/unloading device is installed to stock the products on the baking carts that are carried out from the baking furnace and to transport them to the product packaging line, which is the next process. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a production line system for ceramic products in which a stockyard line consisting of a product stock conveyor is provided.

Function The present invention involves placing a press-molded white background on a pallet upside down on a press line, carrying the pallet into the pre-drying chamber of a drying oven for preliminary drying, and then carrying it into the main drying chamber to dry it.
