Definitions

  • the present invention regards a line for the production of sanitary articles, by means of the pressurized casting of slip within molds or groups of molds.
  • the number of parts that constitute the mold can vary as a function of the geometry of the article to be produced, for example with reference to the presence of undercut portions, of openings, etcetera or lack thereof.
  • the single parts of the mold can be connected to a line support structure, in hung configuration, and slidable movable along the same.
  • the single parts which constitute a mold can be mutually moved closer or away, in order to be placed in mutual abutment, to delimit a molding cavity, or moved away in order to allow the extraction of the sanitary article from the mold following its molding.
  • the molds are abutted together along the line structure, to form a set of molds that is clamped at the ends in order to prevent, during the molding step, the undesired leakage of slip through the junction portions along which the single parts of the molds are mutually abutted.
  • Such step is extremely delicate since the formed article is found in a so-called "green" state, i.e. not yet provided with the mechanical strength that it will have following a subsequent step of firing in a furnace.
  • the lateral, upper and lower parts of the mold are separated from each other, by mutually moving them away along the support structure. Then, one proceeds by partially lowering the lower central part and introducing, in the cavity thus delimited, a gripping member adapted to clamp the formed article without damaging it.
  • US 2016/0009001 Al describes an apparatus for making sanitary articles by means of the pressurized casting of slip inside a modular mold.
  • the main object of the present invention is to improve the state of the art relative to a line for the production of sanitary articles by means of pressurized casting of slip in modular molds.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a line for the production of sanitary articles able of overcoming the drawbacks of the production lines of known type, with particular reference to the possibility of facilitating the extraction of the formed articles from the respective mold groups, preventing the articles from being damaged during their extraction.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a production line for sanitary articles in which the step of extraction requires lower actuation times than those of the known solution, which increases the production rate of the entire line.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a production line for sanitary articles that is easy to use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a production line that allows making sanitary articles of different shape even if in the scope of a solution with high production efficiency.
  • a line is provided for the production of sanitary articles according to claim 1.
  • a framework with variable geometry is provided for a line for the production of sanitary articles according to claim 12.
  • a production line for sanitary articles according to the present invention can also be easily used in production plants for the integration or substitution of a preexisting production line.
  • figure 1 is a side view of a detail of a production line according to the present invention.
  • figure 2 is a detailed view of several components of a production line pursuant to figure 1 ;
  • FIGS. 3, 5 and 7 are side views of several operating steps of a production line for sanitary articles according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 4 and 6 are front views of several steps for opening the molds of a production line for sanitary articles according to the present invention.
  • the production line 1 allows molding sanitary articles by means of the pressurized injection of slip inside single molding cavities, according to modes known in the field and hence not described hereinbelow.
  • sanitary article reference is made to a toilet bowl, even if it is intended that the production line 1 according to the present invention can be used in the production of different sanitary items, such as bidets, without any limitation.
  • the production line 1 comprises a support frame 2 that is extended along a first direction 3, for the slidable support of at least one molding group 4 for the molding of respective sanitary articles S.
  • the production line 1 comprises a plurality of molding groups 4 arranged in succession, one after the other, along the support frame 2.
  • the presence of a plurality of molding groups 4 along the support frame 2 allows the simultaneous molding of a plurality of sanitary articles S in the scope of a solution with high production rate.
  • the single molding groups 4 are connected in hung configuration with respect to the support frame 2.
  • a first molding group 4 is illustrated with a continuous section line while a second molding group 4' is illustrated with a discontinuous section line, in a position abutted on the first molding group 4.
  • the single molding groups 4 are placed along the support frame 2 abutted against each other, forming a set of molds that is clamped at the opposite ends by means of clamping means not illustrated in the enclosed figures.
  • the support frame 2 comprises an upper portion for the hung connection of several molding groups 4 and a lower portion 2' for the slidable support of other molding groups 4, without any limitation.
  • the single molding groups 4 can comprise multiple molds, mutually movable, adapted to delimit at their interior - once placed in mutual abutment - at least one molding cavity 5. Subsequently, by means of the mutual moving away of the molds, the extraction of the green-molded sanitary article S from the molding cavity 5 is allowed.
  • the molding group 4 can comprise at least two lateral molds 6, 7 and one lower central mold 8, interposed between the two lateral molds 6, 7.

  • the movement of one of the lateral molds 6, 7 closer to the other also causes the driving of the lower central mold 8 closer to such other lateral mold 6, 7.
  • the lateral molds 6, 7 and the lower central mold 8 each have respective abutment portions which when placed in mutual abutment cause the sealing of the molding cavity 5, for the purpose of preventing the leakage of slip introduced under pressure within the same.
  • the production line 1 comprises further means for moving the lower central mold 8 away from the molding cavity 5, indicated overall with 1 1 (see figures 3, 5 and 7) ⁇
  • the further moving means 1 1 are configured in order to allow the relative movement of the lower central mold 8 with respect to the lateral molds 6, 7 along a second direction 13 orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction 3.
  • the further moving means 1 1 cause the movement of the lower central mold 8 with respect to the lateral molds 6, 7 in a manner such to facilitate the access, from the side and/or from above, to the sanitary article S formed and supported on the lower central mold 8, facilitating the extraction thereof from the molding group 4 itself, as better described hereinbelow.

  • the structure with variable geometry 16 is substantially configured as a "C”.
  • the lower central mold 8 is operatively connected to the lower portion 18 of the structure with variable geometry 16.

  • the upper central mold 27 is operatively and slidably connected to the support frame 2.
  • the upper central mold 27 can be connected to the upper portion 17 of the structure with variable geometry 16. Therefore, following the movement of the structure with variable geometry 16 along the support frame 2, in the first direction 3, the movement is caused both of the upper central mold 27 and of the lower central mold 8.
  • the production line 1 according to the present invention can comprise a further central mold 28, commonly defined “fifth part", for obtaining at least one undercut portion inside the molding cavity 5.

  • the lower central mold 8 is moved away from the lateral molds 6, 7 and, if present, from the further central mold 28, and hence from the molding cavity 5, along the third direction 15, until the sanitary article S is completely extracted outside the molding cavity 5 itself.
  • grip members can be used, not illustrated in the enclosed figures, that are adapted to fasten around the sanitary article S without damaging it and to lift it with respect to the lower central mold 8, until the separation thereof from the support is caused.
  • the sanitary article S is positioned completely outside the molding cavity 5 and thus is easily accessible, both from the side and from above, in order to facilitate the removal thereof from the lower central mold 8 on which it is supported.
  • the lateral molds 6, 7 and the lower central mold 8, and possibly the upper central mold 27 if provided can be mutually moved along the first direction 3 with a smaller travel with respect to that provided in the known solutions.
  • the step of removing the sanitary article S from the molding group 4 is thus easy to carry out, independent of the configuration and dimensions of the sanitary article S.
  • the removal of the sanitary article S from the molding group 4 provides for the relative movement of the molds 6, 7, 8 and, if present, of the upper central mold 27, which is actuated in an automated manner and is such to prevent damaging the sanitary article S.
  • the subsequent separation of the sanitary article S from the lower central mold 8 occurs by means of the grip members that are movable relative to the lower central mold 8 outside the molding cavity 5.
  • the removal step therefore, can be carried out efficiently and quickly since the absence of obstacles in the immediate proximity to the lower central mold 8, placed in a position completely extracted from the molding cavity 5, avoids possible impacts thereof against obstacles, such as the portions of the lateral molds 6, 7 or of the upper central mold 27, if provided, projecting inside the molding cavity 5.
  • the entire production line 1 is more compact, since it is not necessary to provide a wide lateral access opening to the sanitary article S for the introduction of the grip elements inside the molding cavity 5; in addition, there is also more freedom in the design of the models, with particular reference to the size of the height or to the overall geometry thereof, allowing the production of pieces that are complex or having advanced design.
