[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, when a tile is dry-molded, as shown in FIG. 5, a powder box 4 having upper and lower surfaces as opening surfaces is formed in a molding space 3 formed by a frame mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The kneaded material 5 is supplied, the upper mold 6 is lowered after the powder container 4 is retracted, and the kneaded material 5 is pressure-molded to obtain a tile forming material. Then, the tile forming material is glazed and baked to form a tile 8 having a glaze pattern 7 formed on the surface as shown in FIG.
I am trying to manufacture.

Further, as a method for decorating the tile surface,
After forming the tile forming substrate in the manner shown in FIG. 5, the plate is bisque-fired, a pattern is formed on the surface of the tile by a method such as screen printing, and then the tile is baked at a predetermined temperature. Another method is to print a print pattern on the tile surface.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional tile decorating method, the tile base material is formed, unglazed if necessary, and then the surface of the tile is glazed or screen-printed. In addition to the tile molding process, a decorative process was always necessary. Therefore, a dedicated line for this decoration is required, which has been one of the causes of soaring equipment costs. In addition, the number of processes is large, which causes a decrease in productivity. Furthermore, the decorated pattern portion exists only on the tile front surface, and the base material is exposed as it is on the tile side surface and the tile rear surface side, which gives a disadvantageous product image.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The same reference numerals as in the conventional case are the same members. 1 to 3 relate to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a partial vertical cross-sectional side view showing a state in which kneaded clay is supplied by a dust container 9, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship among the plate 10, the slit plate 11, and the mesh plate 12. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, two partition plates 13 arranged in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the powder sack 9 are used to form the inside of the powder sack 9 into three knots A, B and C. It is divided into a soil storage space.

Different kneaded clay is stored in each of the storage spaces A, B and C. The lower side of each of the storage spaces A, B, C is an opening surface, and the plate 10 is arranged at a position where the opening surfaces are common.
The plate 10 is provided with three rows of kneaded clay outlets 15, 16 and 17 corresponding to the storage spaces A, B and C, so that the outlets 15, 16 and 17 do not overlap each other. Are repeatedly formed at appropriate intervals.

Below the plate 10, a slit plate 11 is provided between the outlets 15 to 17 for preventing the different types of kneaded clay flowing down from the outlets 15, 16 and 17 from overlapping each other. It is installed in. Further, a mesh plate 12 is arranged below the slit plate 11. The operation of the mesh plate 12 will be described in detail later.

Next, a molding method for manufacturing the ground pattern tile 18 (see FIG. 4) by using the tile molding dust box 9 configured as described above will be described. First, at different positions apart from the molding machine, the storage spaces A, B, and C of the dust container 9 are filled with kneaded clay of different colors. The filled different-colored kneaded clay is the outlets 15 to 17 corresponding to the storage spaces A, B, and C.
, And is held by the partition plate 13 so as not to be mixed with each other.

Then, from this state, the powder box 9 is advanced toward the molding space 3 formed by the frame mold 1 and the lower mold 2, and when the powder box 9 reaches above the molding space 3, the partition plates 13 are brought into contact with each other. The kneaded clay of a different color held between the two passes through the mesh plate 12 and is dropped and supplied from the outlet 19 of the dust container 9 into the molding space 3 in a striped pattern (in a striped pattern). At this time, when the kneaded clay of different color is passed through the mesh plate 12, the kneaded clay at the boundary portions are partially mixed with each other, and the kneaded clay is dropped and supplied into the forming space 3 in a state where the boundary portion is blurred. become. Therefore, the different-colored clay is dropped and supplied in a striped pattern in a continuous flow pattern in the front-rear direction.

After the filling of the different-colored kneaded material into the molding space 3 in this manner, the tiles may be manufactured in the same manner as in the normal dry tile manufacturing method. That is, the dust box 9
Is retracted and returned, and the upper mold is lowered to press-mold the kneaded clay in the molding space 3. Then, the obtained tile forming material is fired to obtain a tile 18 in which a striped pattern appears as a ground pattern as shown in FIG.

With such a manufacturing method, a ground layer pattern (striped pattern) can be formed at the time of tile forming, and unlike the conventional case, a decorative step is not required after the tile forming step. It is possible to omit lines and manufacturing processes. The manufactured pattern tile 18 has a pattern corresponding to the total thickness from the front surface to the back surface of the tile in each predetermined width, and the pattern appears in all directions of the tile, which gives a very high-class feeling. It is a thing.

By the way, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be appropriately modified. For example, by forming the outlets 15, 16, 17 of the plate 10 regularly, the geological pattern tile 1 in which different-colored kneaded clay stored in the storage spaces A, B, C is regularly provided alternately.
However, the order and width of the stratum pattern are arbitrary. When changing the width of the stratum pattern,
It suffices to change the interval between the slit plates 11.

The slit plate 11 is provided to prevent the different-sized kneaded clay stored in the storage spaces A, B, and C of the dust container 9 from mixing with each other. When the distance from 16 and 17 to the outlet 19 of the dust pan 9 is short, these different-colored kneaded clays rarely mix with each other, so that the slit plate 11 can be omitted.
Furthermore, the mesh plate 12 is for blurring the boundary of each different-colored kneaded clay, and this can be omitted if the boundary is to be made clear.

Furthermore, the storage space for the dust container 19 is A,
A plurality of types other than B and C may be used, and the types of kneaded clay stored in this storage space are different in color, different in the raw material itself, or different in the size of raw material particles
Various materials such as those having different raw material mixing ratios can be applied.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The interior of the dust container that supplies the kneaded material to the tile forming machine is divided in the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction to form a storage space for different types of kneaded clay, and the outlets corresponding to each storage space are provided on the opening surface provided on the lower surface of each partition Since the kneaded clay is formed, the heterogeneous kneaded clay in each storage space can be made to flow out in a stripe shape in a predetermined width along the traveling direction of the dust pan, and a tile having a stratum pattern can be formed.

With such molding, the formation pattern tile can be decorated at the same time in the molding step, and a separate decoration step is not required after the molding step as in the conventional case.
Therefore, it is possible to omit the dedicated line and process for decoration which was conventionally required, and it is possible to significantly reduce the equipment cost and effectively use the dedicated space for that.
It is also possible to significantly increase productivity by reducing the number of processes.

Further, according to the present invention, as described in claim 3, slit plates corresponding to the respective outlets are provided on the lower surface side of the plate so that different types of kneaded clay are not mixed with each other. It is possible to manufacture geological pattern tiles with clear boundaries between the kneaded clay. On the other hand, when the mesh plate is arranged below the slit plate as described in claim 4, since the heterogeneous kneaded clays are mixed to each other at the boundary portion, a flow pattern geological pattern tile having a blurred boundary portion is obtained. It is possible.
