Description
42~6 The present invention relates to a method for gluing of chips, fibers and the like including ligno-cellulose-containing particles, which are released free-falling in a vertical shaft or duct and during -the downward movement therein being subjected at least partially to rotational forces, being glued and thereafter being delivered from the shaft, duct or chute; the present invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the foregoing method with an at least substantially vertical shaft or chute having a circular shaped cross section, an upper chip inlet and a chip outlet located therebelow, means for supplying or feeding glue and including rotating tools which influence the movement of the chips.
BACKGROUND O~ THE INVENTION
.
With a known method of this type disclosed by German Offenlegungsschrift 16 53 26~ for gluing and impregna1:ing of wood chips and the like, the chips by way of conveyor belts come ~ree-falling into a conical funnel which opens into a mixing container that is larger in diameter than that of the funnel. The chips fall into the mixing container without mechanical engagement with rotating parts until reaching a mixing tool located at the container bottom; the mixing tool is provided for exarnple in the shape of a centrifugal di.sc or plate and the chips along this path pass through a down-wardly directed spray cone generated in the middle of the container. The cen-trifugal disc or plate, supported by particularly embodied blades, scoops and the like move the chip flow which has fallen through the glue-spray-cone along the walls of the cylinder in a flow upwardly again circulating around the middle downward flo~ of the chi.ps, whereby chips not yet coated or covered with glue prior to entry thereof into an upwardly located tangential discharge or outlet can come again with the central incident or oncoming chip cone or funnel downwardly in the region of the central downwardly directed glue-spray-~s~
cone.
Disadvantageous with this known approach is that the vertical mixing container must have such a large diameter that the glued chips passing :Erom the bottom of the mixing container helically or spirally to the upper outlet do not influence the chip funnel dropping downwardly within this external -flow.
~urthermore~ there exists the disadvantage that the chips are destroyed during reversal thereof by 180, particularly upon impinging against the fast rotating centrifugal plate or disc and the conveying tools thereof. With the known machine accordingly chip destruction arises as such destruction had to be encountered and accepted with the known and previously horizontally located fast rotating gluing machines with which the chip material must be reversed or diverted from the vertical into a horizonta:L direction by entry, :Feeding or drawing- taking-in blades. The mixing tools, particularly the diverting or reversing blades located iJI the diverting or reversing location of the chip flow heat up relatively strongly as a consequence of the friction and braking of the chips encountered therewith. The consequence is a rapid wear of these diverting or reversing tools as well as a rapid wearing-off of the drum in the region of the diverting or reversing zone.
The main disadvantage lies in the chip destruction itself aside from the wear which is not inconsiderable or unimportant. The chip destruction has as a consequence a reduction of the transverse and bending strength (ultimate tensile strength or tenacity~ :Eor the finished chip panel or plate as well as a considerably greater glue consulllption, since the glue consumption is greater to an extent commensurate with the smaller tlle glue particles are respectively therewith.
An object o:E the present invention accordingly is to create a gluing method or gluing machi.ne with wh.ich the incoming chips without positive reversal ~ ~ ~4 ~'~
or diverting thereof out of the incoming direction are subjected to an optimum gluing and glue distribution in a direction vertical or opposite thereto wi~hout shock, impact or surge stress, and with a minimum heating by friction. A gluing machine suitable for carrying out this method is to assure a high chip capacity or through-passage with smallest possible chip destruction during an economical gluing with nominal space requiremellt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Re:Eerring now to the drawings in detail, the inventive gluing machine provides a drum-sha-ped chute l with circular-shaped cross scction which has a double mantle la with cooling water flowing therethrough. The chute is preEerably arranged exactly perpendicular or vertical and has an upper chip inlet 2 as well as a lower chip outlet 3. A tool shaft 5 with a rotational axis 5' rotated by drive means 7 in a direction of arrow 28 is located centrally ~5~24~
in the chute 1. The drive means 7 comprises a motor 34 with a drive or transmission means, including for example a ~-belt drive. The shaft 5 is journalled below externally of the machine in a thrust bearing 6 and is journal-led above in a bearing 6'. Chip-ring-forming tools 9 as illustrated for ex-ample more closely in Figures 10, lOa are located in the upper region of the shaft below the inlet 2. These tools 9 rotate wlth the shaft 5 with very high speed and bring about that the freely incoming or dropping chip material is collected into a chip ring as entering in the direction of the arrow A from the inlet 2 into the cylindrical chute without any reversal or diverting; the chip ring forms in the ring-forming zone 15 under the influence of the high rotational speed of the shaft including the tools 9. ~s a consequence of the high centrifugal forces, the mass of the chips accumulates or deposits on the inner wall of the chute and moves downwardly in a spiral or helical manner.
Under these circumstances, the chip flow moving downwardly along the walls comes into a region of glue or adhesive add-ition 13 which in the sample embodiment comprises three axially extending outer or external gluing pipes or tubes 13' arranged adjacent to each other. The external gluing tubes 13' are arranged closely adjacent to the ring-forming tool means 9 so that these pass directly therebetween. Liquid glue or another fluid necessary for the gluing or application of glue discharges from the openings of the glue tubes 13' project-ing equally or at different distances into the free cylinder chamber discharg-ing directly into the chip mass and being received thereby and distributed.
Since the chips are glued in a chip ring glicling along -the wall, the glue dis-tributed from these tubes 13' at the d-ischarge is distributed intensively and uniEormly upon the chips as a consequence oE the inti~late or homogeneously mixed whirling through and mixing through thereof which means by way of the chip-to-chip friction or rubbing.
Tools lQ located below the horn-like embodiment of tools 9 also serve for this intensive thorough mixing and uniform distribution of the glue inside the chip ring. These tools 10 are equipped in such a manner that they exert a stopping or braking effect upon the chip mass slipping downwardly in the form of a more or less compact chip ring so that a dwell of the chip mass is effected sufficient for the glue distribution in the ring-forming zone 15 and the adjoining stabilizing- or braking-zone 16. ~or this purpose, the tools 10 stopping the chips or braking the chip mass are provided offset or displaced as to each other along an axial distance which is approximately as large as the ring-forming zone 15.
With an advantageous embodiment, these tools 10 have a shape as illustrated in Figures 11, lla. Moreover, the braking tools 10 are located behind the glue addition or adding means 13 in arrow direction of the chips as represented by a reference A without by way of this preferred arrangement there being precluded any such arrangement with which braking tools 10 suit-ably in combination with chip-ring-forming tools 9 can be arranged in the ring-forming zone or gluing zone 15.
A discharge or ejection zone 17 provided with ejection tools 11 adjoins the braking zone 16. The ejection tools li advantageously have a paddle-shaped form as shown for example in ~igures 12, 12a.
The flow of glued chips or chips having glue applied thereto moving essentially in vertical direction downwardly discharges by way of the outlet 3 which is elnbodied as a penetration or opening in the double mantle la in Figure 1 and which is provided with a discharge door or flap 4.
This discharge door is journalled or suspended swinging or pendulating at 4'; the discharge door suitably can ~e provided with a counter-weight. The discharge door also can be embodied as an elastic closure, for _ 7 _ ~lS4l~
example as a multiply slotted rubber flap embod~ed in a simple or straight forward manner. The flap, however, can also be loaded or biased by a con-ventional spring tension.
The tool shaft as ~ell as all tools 9, 10, 11 arranged thereon are made hollow and are cooled by a cooling water flow passed or guided there-through. The drum-shaped chute 1 is divided in axial direction with the sample embodiment according to F;gure 1 and is made capable of being opened on hinges or folded out for the purpose of easily assembling for cleaning and repair purposes. The vertical arrangement saves need for providing a special counter-weight.
The chips to be glued or have glue applied thereto or other ligno-cellulose-containing particles accordingly come free-falling in the direction of arrow A into the chute by way of an inlet 2 located above the chute 1. The chips or particles are collected into a chip ring directly after entry into the chute without any reversal or diverting by way of protectively operating horn tools and the chips or particles are wetted with a fluid or liquid glue whereby the chips or particles are stopped or braked in the downward movement thereof, particularly by ~orce components directed upwardly in the chute effective below the chip-ring-forming zone. The chips or particles can be moved upwardly again counter to the downward direction during every passage of the so-called brake tools 10. The upwardly directed components of movement effected upon the chip mass are applied to the chips in spaced intervals during every rotation f the tools 10 where~y a delay enhancing the chip formation and a dwell of the C]lip flow su~ficient for the glue distribution are attained.
The intensive mixing of the chips necessary for optimum glue distribution can be adjusted or set at an optimum by a corresponding determination or propor-tioning of the s-ize of magnitude of the movement and force components effective ~ ~ 54 ~
upwardly upon the chips in SUC}I a manner that for e~cLmple in the ~egion of the zones 15 and 16 the downward movement of the chip ring is overlapped in an upward movement of the chip flow. As a consequence of the formation or develop-ment of an opposite movement for the chip flow and by way o:E-the special forma-tion or development of the bra~e tools 10 created for this purpose, there is attained an intensive mi~ing of the chips simultaneously aside from the necessary stabili~ation and the necessary dwell time such that the chip material additionally cleans the inner walls of the chute and especially during over-lapping of the downward movements and upward movements the chips are turned and intensively glued therewith on all sides.
The paddle tools 11 located below the tools :L0 ~brake tools) stopping the chip ring feed the glued chip matcrial toward the outlet 3.
With the embodiment of Flgure 1, the inlet 2 ls arranged above the upper face side 18 of the chute 1 and the opening passes throu~h the face side 18. As shown by the sample embodiment of Figure 2, the inlet chute 2b also can be arranged laterally in the upper segment of the chute 1, whereby the opening 2c thereof passes laterally through the double mantle la o:E the chute 1. Figure 2 illustrates a further possibility with which the outlet 3a is provided with the opening 3c thereof within the lower face side 19 of the chute 1.
~ ith the embodiment of Figure 1, the inlet 2 is located in the one half of the chute 1 while the outlet 3 can be provided in the other half capable of be-.i.ng moved away from tlle :Eir5t half.
With the embodiment of Figure 3~ which shows the chute 1 without tool shaft and tools, the inlet 2Q and the lower outlet 21 are advantageously installed rigidly or $ixed in location and releaseably connected with the chute 1, preferably by way of a quick releaseable connection in such a manner that ~ 1 54 ~ ~
the chute as an entirety~even iE itself made in two parts can be quickly removed as a unit and for instance when the drum-type chute 1 is dirty or contaminated, quickly being capable of being exchanged for another chute. The scre~
connection or a releasable ~uick coupling provided therewith is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 and i5 designated with a reference 20a.
In place of a journalling of the centrifuging tool shaft 5 as shown in Figure 1 by way of an upper bearing 6' and a lower thrust bearing 6~ there can also inventively be provided a floating or single-sided journalling of the shaft 5 in that the shat 5a as illustrated in ~igure 4 is journalled only by means of a double-sided or bilateral, upper bearing 6a~ 7b~ The drive can occur by way of a V-belt drive 7' or by way of a drive motor 7a which is arranged above the chute 1. With the drive motor 7a there is eliminated -the bilateral upper journalling.
For the purpose of attaining a steady~ smooth~ shockless or jolt-free delivery of the glued chips protected as far as possible, according to a further feature of the invention a discharge device in the form of at least one rotating centrifuging disc or plate 12 is provided above the lower face side 19 of the chute 1. This rotating centrifuge disc or plate 12 can be driven separately; the centrifuge disc or plate 12 however also can be rigidly connect-ed with the shaft 5 ~see ~igure 5).
The centrifuging disc or plate with the embodiment of Figure 1 is located directly above the lower surace 19, according directly above the bottom of the chute 1, and having spacing relative thereto whereby air inlet o-peningrs are provided in the bottom 19 in such a manner that the centrifuging disc or plate 12 serves for formation of an air flow or air cushion shutting or divert-ing away chips. For the purpo$e o~ increasing the air conveying effect of the rotating centrifuging disc 12, this disc 12 preferably along the underside ~ ~ S~ ~6 thereof or along the edge thereof can be provided with ribs or similar air-conveying means 12c. The air is suctioned through the suction-air-inlet open-ings 22 preferably slot-shaped as provided below the centrifuging disc 12 coaxially relative to the shaft 5, and conveyed between the underside of the centrifuging disc 12 and thc lower surface 19 of the chute 1 in a direction to-ward the outlet and consequently aiding in discharge protecti.ng the chip flow without having the glued chips stri.ke or engage upon the centrifuging disc 12, and consequently being subjected to a danger of chip destruction. The air-conveying and guidance of the centrifuging disc can be so developed that the conveyed air rises in the lower part of the cilute by a predetermined extent or measure upwardly along the inner wall of the chute and accordingly permitting an air cushion to arise Nhich nnakes possible a protective chip movement.
~ith the embodiment of the centrifuging disc 12' according to Figure 5, the disc is located securely or rigidly upon the shaft 5 above a suction opening 22' in the :lower surface 19 of the chute 1. Air feeding or conveying ribs 12'c as Nell as at least one centrifuging disc 1.2i reaching nea-rly to the wall of the chute 1 effect a suctioning of air in the direction of the arrows L whereby advantageously above the first disc 12'a there is arranged a second disc 12'b Nhich likewise is provided Nith air-conveying ribs 12'c and the like. Also here the suctioned and upwardly conveyed air is to support the chip cushion and preclude that the dropping chips come into engagement with the centrifuging disc. For improvement of the air guidance, it is noted that the discs 12a and/or 12b can be provided with air openings 6~, ribs and the like.
~ith the embodiment oE Figure 1, a glue addition or supply means 13 is provided from the outside with which the glue addition tubes or pipes 13' arranged individually axially with spacing from each other pass through the double mantle la and terminate inside the mantle. The glue supply or additive ~ ~ 5 ~ 2~
means 14 is provided as an alternate glue additive or supply means in the region of the upper face side 18. Also several supply or additive pipes or tubes 14' can be provided whereby the tube 14' passes through the face side 18 and opens approximately in the region of the uppermost chip-forming tool 9' in such a manner that the discharge opening preferably is directed against the wall of the drum or chute 1.
~ igure 6 schematically illustrates different possibilities of glue fceding or supply from the outside. The glue supply pipes basically can be arranged distributed along the circu~ference or periphery of the chute 1 in an axial and/or radial plane but also in a helical or spiral shape.
~ith axial arrangement as shown in ~igure 1, it is purposeful if the chip-forming tools ~ each pass directly between two adjoining glue supply tubes or pipes 13' and flowing along the same in such a manner that the inwardly projecting segments of the tubes or pipes 13' are engaged by the chip flow taken along or following therewith so that approximately glue adhering to the glue pipes or tubes is wiped away continuously.
In Figure 4, there i5 shown a glue container 24 connected by way of conduits 24a with the glue supply pipes or tubes 13 corresponding to the axial arrangement of Figure l; this glue container 24 is embodied pressureless and is effective as a glue distributor and is supplied by a glue feed or supply conduit 24'.
Also conceivable i5 an embodiment with which a glue distributor 25 (see Figure 6) lies below the gl~e supply pipe or tube 13' and is colmected with feed lines or conduits 25a to the glue pipes or tubelets 13'. The liquid glue is supplied to the distributor 25 through the collecting conduit 25'.
Tlle pipes or tubes 13~ also can be arranged distributed over the periphery or circumference of the chute 1 in a radial plane and can serve also ~ ~ 5~
for supplying or admixing of additional components such as emulsions, water, insecticides and the like, irrespective of w~ether an axial or radial arrange-ment is used. With the arrangement of a glue container below the feed or supply pipe 13', the glue supply or addition occurs by means of nominal overpressure.
Figure 6 illustrates yet another embodlment with which the distributor is a hose conduit 2~ which lies in the height or level of the glue supply pipe 13' and leading from the conduits 26a to the individual pipes 13' whereby between conduit 26 and supply lines 26a there is connected a distribu-tor piece.
This embodiment is especially suitable when the glue is added under pressure.
~s shDwn further by Figure 6, the conduits of these individual arrangement possibilities lead to the pipes or tubes 13' which also with this embodiment project over the wall of the chute 1 into the free cylinder space of chamber. The glue supply tubes can with an especially advantageous embodiment be provided with high pressure nozzles prefera~ly wide-stream nozzles and also being provided with a high pressure pump with which preferably a pressure of 20 to 40 bar is generated and being connected therewith. The glue is distribut-ed into a wide spray or stream by such nozzles whereby an especially intensive and good glue comminution and glue distribution is attainable.
~igure 7 shows that such nozz]es can be arranged lying in a single radial plane whereby advantageously three nozzles are distributed uniformly over the periphery or circumference. The nozzles also can be located adjacent to each other in axial direction so that also the tools 9 can graze therealong and therebetwecn.
The glue supply nozzles 27 are shown in ~igure 7; these glue supply nozzles 27 are preferably arranged tangentially in such a manner that the nozzles 27 open into the chute 1 in the rotational direction 2S of the chip ring.
The nozzles 27 can further be pivotally journalled in such a manner that the - 13 _ spray stream is pivotable toward all sides within the pivot region of 10 to ~0, preferably 15. Upon adiustment or setting of the nozzles up to 90 there is possible a glue addition or supplying counter to the rotational direction of the chip material ring whereby an improved whirling of the chip veil or mist is brought about. By way of the -tangentially directed discharge o~ the spray stream existing under high pressure, there can he enhanced the ring Formation of the chip flow in the region of the ring formation zone 15. Furthermore, there ls to be attained by way of the adjustment of the nozzles 27 in all directions and on all sides that the spray cones of different sizes are gener-ated whereby the deposit ~ormation of acc~ulation of glue on the inner wall of the drum chute, on the tools and on the shaft is precluded. Finally, by way of the upward or downward inclination of the spray nozzles 27 as schematlcally illustrated in Pigure 7a, there also can be influenced the formation and sha-pe of the chip ring or the downward- and/or upward-movement thereof, and according-ly there can be influenced the duration of dwell time therewith.
~ccordingly, by way~of the lateral or height pivot capability of the nozzles, particularly the nozzle stream, there can be influenced the speed of the downward move~ent of the chip flow, partlcularly to such an extent that with a spray directlon CQUnter to the arrow directlon A the desired intensive glue distribution is increased and by way of the side adjustment and/or dif-ferent sizes of spray cones, the glue deposit or accumulation on the drum wall and shaft 5 is precluded.
Figures 8 and 9 show an embodiment with which the glue is supplied from the inside. Within the hollow shaft 5 (Figure 8) there is located a glue supply pipe or tube 61 from which the glue by way oE several openings 29 pro~ided ln the shaft 5 comes upon a glue dlstributor -plate or dlsc 31 which is provided with a preferably slanted outwardly inclined cover 32. l'his cover 32 -~ 14 -forms a slot-shaped discharge opening 33a with the edge 33 of the plate or disc 31, and the glue is centrifuged out~ardly in the direction of the wall of the container 1 by way of the discharge opening 33a where the chip flow is located along the wall. ~elow the discharge opening of the glue supply pipe or tube 28 there is located a part 30 covering the hollow chamber of the shaft 5, for example a disc, which is provided closely below the discharge opening 30. The actual discharge opening 33a is located approximately in a spacing of 20 mm to 100 mm from the inner ~all; the glue passes through the discharge opening 33a distributed finely outwardly directly into the chip ring located therewith.
The embodiment according to ~igure 9 differs from the embodiment of Figure 8 only thereby that at the radially outer end of the slanted or inclined cover 32 in the region of the edge 32' of this cover there is provided a draft or outline edge 32'~ formed thereto which limits the slot-shaped discharge opening 33a.
F~gure ~ shows an embodiment for the chip-ring-forming tools provided in the ring-forming zone lS ~see ~:igllre 1). These ring-forming tools are arranged on the shaft 5 offset or displaced relative to each other in peripheral direction~ and bent away forwardly in such a manner in rotational direction 28 that the tools form an acute angle ~ with the radial fastening plane thereof.
The tools proyide a continuously decreasing cross section outwardly as far as to the tip ~Q thereof extending accordingly substantially pointedly in the manner of a horn whereby the tool back 36 is rounded off. Under these circum-stances, the face 37 of the chip-forming tool 9 directed -forwardly in rotational direction 28 provides two stra~ght surfaces 38, 39 lying substantially V-shaped relative to each other. The embocliment of a tool effects a soft, chip-protecting engagement first in the tip ~0 of the tool into the chip flow or into the chip ring and a displacement of the chips along the straight surfaces 38, 39 whereby - 15 ~
these chips are intensively thoroughly mixed, with each other.
The brake tools 10 illustrated in Figures 11, lla provide a scoop or blade-like extension 41 extending in rotational direction 28 of the shaft 5 of which the surface ~2 directed upwardly is embodied sligh-tly concave in curvature and the lower surface 43 thereof extends outwardly bulged or curvedin arcuate shape in a direction onto the shaft 44 of the tool 10. A leading edge 45 of the brake tool 10 e~tends in-to a tip ~G in such a manner that this front tip ~6 of the foremost point of the tool is in the rotating direction and the Eront edge ~5 o the tip 46 extends back toward the extension or comlection in the shaft. The rear edge 48 of the narrow surface of the blade or scoop is made in an arcuate shape and has a transition ~ith a larger arcuate radius into the lower edge leading to the shat in rotational direction and parallel to the outer edge 49.
Advantageously, the brake tool 10 is so installed slanted or inclined forwardly that the tip thereof is deeper than the rear blade surface, so that the chip mater~al received ~r taken up receives a movement component directed upwardly in rotational direction. The slanted or inclined position can be adjusted respectively and correspondingly according to the quantity conveyed or passing therethrough and according to the chip characteristic.
The discharge tools 11 illustrated schematically in Figures 12, 12a are made having a paddle shape and taper outwardly. The shaft 50 which is pro-vided with the screw-in thread provides a circular cross section with the other tools and has a transition Erom this circular shape in-to a substantially rec-tangular or square cross section which ls increasingly smalle~ toward the outside in such a manner that the chip material conveying face surface 51 is slightly concave while the rear surface 52 is substantially a straight or linear surface embodied therewith.
~ ~ ~4 ~
Aside :Erom the previousl~ indicated advantages, there is particularly advantageous with the apparatus according to the present invention ~ha-t the drive capacity is up to o~er 5~ smaller than with devices or apparatus accord-ing to the state of the art.

BACKGROUND O~ THE INVENTION
.
With a known method of this type disclosed by German Offenlegungsschrift 16 53 26~ for gluing and impregna1:ing of wood chips and the like, the chips by way of conveyor belts come ~ree-falling into a conical funnel which opens into a mixing container that is larger in diameter than that of the funnel. The chips fall into the mixing container without mechanical engagement with rotating parts until reaching a mixing tool located at the container bottom; the mixing tool is provided for exarnple in the shape of a centrifugal di.sc or plate and the chips along this path pass through a down-wardly directed spray cone generated in the middle of the container. The cen-trifugal disc or plate, supported by particularly embodied blades, scoops and the like move the chip flow which has fallen through the glue-spray-cone along the walls of the cylinder in a flow upwardly again circulating around the middle downward flo~ of the chi.ps, whereby chips not yet coated or covered with glue prior to entry thereof into an upwardly located tangential discharge or outlet can come again with the central incident or oncoming chip cone or funnel downwardly in the region of the central downwardly directed glue-spray-~s~
cone.
Disadvantageous with this known approach is that the vertical mixing container must have such a large diameter that the glued chips passing :Erom the bottom of the mixing container helically or spirally to the upper outlet do not influence the chip funnel dropping downwardly within this external -flow.
~urthermore~ there exists the disadvantage that the chips are destroyed during reversal thereof by 180, particularly upon impinging against the fast rotating centrifugal plate or disc and the conveying tools thereof. With the known machine accordingly chip destruction arises as such destruction had to be encountered and accepted with the known and previously horizontally located fast rotating gluing machines with which the chip material must be reversed or diverted from the vertical into a horizonta:L direction by entry, :Feeding or drawing- taking-in blades. The mixing tools, particularly the diverting or reversing blades located iJI the diverting or reversing location of the chip flow heat up relatively strongly as a consequence of the friction and braking of the chips encountered therewith. The consequence is a rapid wear of these diverting or reversing tools as well as a rapid wearing-off of the drum in the region of the diverting or reversing zone.
The main disadvantage lies in the chip destruction itself aside from the wear which is not inconsiderable or unimportant. The chip destruction has as a consequence a reduction of the transverse and bending strength (ultimate tensile strength or tenacity~ :Eor the finished chip panel or plate as well as a considerably greater glue consulllption, since the glue consumption is greater to an extent commensurate with the smaller tlle glue particles are respectively therewith.
An object o:E the present invention accordingly is to create a gluing method or gluing machi.ne with wh.ich the incoming chips without positive reversal ~ ~ ~4 ~'~
or diverting thereof out of the incoming direction are subjected to an optimum gluing and glue distribution in a direction vertical or opposite thereto wi~hout shock, impact or surge stress, and with a minimum heating by friction. A gluing machine suitable for carrying out this method is to assure a high chip capacity or through-passage with smallest possible chip destruction during an economical gluing with nominal space requiremellt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Re:Eerring now to the drawings in detail, the inventive gluing machine provides a drum-sha-ped chute l with circular-shaped cross scction which has a double mantle la with cooling water flowing therethrough. The chute is preEerably arranged exactly perpendicular or vertical and has an upper chip inlet 2 as well as a lower chip outlet 3. A tool shaft 5 with a rotational axis 5' rotated by drive means 7 in a direction of arrow 28 is located centrally ~5~24~
in the chute 1. The drive means 7 comprises a motor 34 with a drive or transmission means, including for example a ~-belt drive. The shaft 5 is journalled below externally of the machine in a thrust bearing 6 and is journal-led above in a bearing 6'. Chip-ring-forming tools 9 as illustrated for ex-ample more closely in Figures 10, lOa are located in the upper region of the shaft below the inlet 2. These tools 9 rotate wlth the shaft 5 with very high speed and bring about that the freely incoming or dropping chip material is collected into a chip ring as entering in the direction of the arrow A from the inlet 2 into the cylindrical chute without any reversal or diverting; the chip ring forms in the ring-forming zone 15 under the influence of the high rotational speed of the shaft including the tools 9. ~s a consequence of the high centrifugal forces, the mass of the chips accumulates or deposits on the inner wall of the chute and moves downwardly in a spiral or helical manner.
Under these circumstances, the chip flow moving downwardly along the walls comes into a region of glue or adhesive add-ition 13 which in the sample embodiment comprises three axially extending outer or external gluing pipes or tubes 13' arranged adjacent to each other. The external gluing tubes 13' are arranged closely adjacent to the ring-forming tool means 9 so that these pass directly therebetween. Liquid glue or another fluid necessary for the gluing or application of glue discharges from the openings of the glue tubes 13' project-ing equally or at different distances into the free cylinder chamber discharg-ing directly into the chip mass and being received thereby and distributed.
Since the chips are glued in a chip ring glicling along -the wall, the glue dis-tributed from these tubes 13' at the d-ischarge is distributed intensively and uniEormly upon the chips as a consequence oE the inti~late or homogeneously mixed whirling through and mixing through thereof which means by way of the chip-to-chip friction or rubbing.
Tools lQ located below the horn-like embodiment of tools 9 also serve for this intensive thorough mixing and uniform distribution of the glue inside the chip ring. These tools 10 are equipped in such a manner that they exert a stopping or braking effect upon the chip mass slipping downwardly in the form of a more or less compact chip ring so that a dwell of the chip mass is effected sufficient for the glue distribution in the ring-forming zone 15 and the adjoining stabilizing- or braking-zone 16. ~or this purpose, the tools 10 stopping the chips or braking the chip mass are provided offset or displaced as to each other along an axial distance which is approximately as large as the ring-forming zone 15.
With an advantageous embodiment, these tools 10 have a shape as illustrated in Figures 11, lla. Moreover, the braking tools 10 are located behind the glue addition or adding means 13 in arrow direction of the chips as represented by a reference A without by way of this preferred arrangement there being precluded any such arrangement with which braking tools 10 suit-ably in combination with chip-ring-forming tools 9 can be arranged in the ring-forming zone or gluing zone 15.
A discharge or ejection zone 17 provided with ejection tools 11 adjoins the braking zone 16. The ejection tools li advantageously have a paddle-shaped form as shown for example in ~igures 12, 12a.
The flow of glued chips or chips having glue applied thereto moving essentially in vertical direction downwardly discharges by way of the outlet 3 which is elnbodied as a penetration or opening in the double mantle la in Figure 1 and which is provided with a discharge door or flap 4.
This discharge door is journalled or suspended swinging or pendulating at 4'; the discharge door suitably can ~e provided with a counter-weight. The discharge door also can be embodied as an elastic closure, for _ 7 _ ~lS4l~
example as a multiply slotted rubber flap embod~ed in a simple or straight forward manner. The flap, however, can also be loaded or biased by a con-ventional spring tension.
The tool shaft as ~ell as all tools 9, 10, 11 arranged thereon are made hollow and are cooled by a cooling water flow passed or guided there-through. The drum-shaped chute 1 is divided in axial direction with the sample embodiment according to F;gure 1 and is made capable of being opened on hinges or folded out for the purpose of easily assembling for cleaning and repair purposes. The vertical arrangement saves need for providing a special counter-weight.
The chips to be glued or have glue applied thereto or other ligno-cellulose-containing particles accordingly come free-falling in the direction of arrow A into the chute by way of an inlet 2 located above the chute 1. The chips or particles are collected into a chip ring directly after entry into the chute without any reversal or diverting by way of protectively operating horn tools and the chips or particles are wetted with a fluid or liquid glue whereby the chips or particles are stopped or braked in the downward movement thereof, particularly by ~orce components directed upwardly in the chute effective below the chip-ring-forming zone. The chips or particles can be moved upwardly again counter to the downward direction during every passage of the so-called brake tools 10. The upwardly directed components of movement effected upon the chip mass are applied to the chips in spaced intervals during every rotation f the tools 10 where~y a delay enhancing the chip formation and a dwell of the C]lip flow su~ficient for the glue distribution are attained.
The intensive mixing of the chips necessary for optimum glue distribution can be adjusted or set at an optimum by a corresponding determination or propor-tioning of the s-ize of magnitude of the movement and force components effective ~ ~ 54 ~
upwardly upon the chips in SUC}I a manner that for e~cLmple in the ~egion of the zones 15 and 16 the downward movement of the chip ring is overlapped in an upward movement of the chip flow. As a consequence of the formation or develop-ment of an opposite movement for the chip flow and by way o:E-the special forma-tion or development of the bra~e tools 10 created for this purpose, there is attained an intensive mi~ing of the chips simultaneously aside from the necessary stabili~ation and the necessary dwell time such that the chip material additionally cleans the inner walls of the chute and especially during over-lapping of the downward movements and upward movements the chips are turned and intensively glued therewith on all sides.
The paddle tools 11 located below the tools :L0 ~brake tools) stopping the chip ring feed the glued chip matcrial toward the outlet 3.
With the embodiment of Flgure 1, the inlet 2 ls arranged above the upper face side 18 of the chute 1 and the opening passes throu~h the face side 18. As shown by the sample embodiment of Figure 2, the inlet chute 2b also can be arranged laterally in the upper segment of the chute 1, whereby the opening 2c thereof passes laterally through the double mantle la o:E the chute 1. Figure 2 illustrates a further possibility with which the outlet 3a is provided with the opening 3c thereof within the lower face side 19 of the chute 1.
~ ith the embodiment of Figure 1, the inlet 2 is located in the one half of the chute 1 while the outlet 3 can be provided in the other half capable of be-.i.ng moved away from tlle :Eir5t half.
With the embodiment of Figure 3~ which shows the chute 1 without tool shaft and tools, the inlet 2Q and the lower outlet 21 are advantageously installed rigidly or $ixed in location and releaseably connected with the chute 1, preferably by way of a quick releaseable connection in such a manner that ~ 1 54 ~ ~
the chute as an entirety~even iE itself made in two parts can be quickly removed as a unit and for instance when the drum-type chute 1 is dirty or contaminated, quickly being capable of being exchanged for another chute. The scre~
connection or a releasable ~uick coupling provided therewith is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 and i5 designated with a reference 20a.
In place of a journalling of the centrifuging tool shaft 5 as shown in Figure 1 by way of an upper bearing 6' and a lower thrust bearing 6~ there can also inventively be provided a floating or single-sided journalling of the shaft 5 in that the shat 5a as illustrated in ~igure 4 is journalled only by means of a double-sided or bilateral, upper bearing 6a~ 7b~ The drive can occur by way of a V-belt drive 7' or by way of a drive motor 7a which is arranged above the chute 1. With the drive motor 7a there is eliminated -the bilateral upper journalling.
For the purpose of attaining a steady~ smooth~ shockless or jolt-free delivery of the glued chips protected as far as possible, according to a further feature of the invention a discharge device in the form of at least one rotating centrifuging disc or plate 12 is provided above the lower face side 19 of the chute 1. This rotating centrifuge disc or plate 12 can be driven separately; the centrifuge disc or plate 12 however also can be rigidly connect-ed with the shaft 5 ~see ~igure 5).
The centrifuging disc or plate with the embodiment of Figure 1 is located directly above the lower surace 19, according directly above the bottom of the chute 1, and having spacing relative thereto whereby air inlet o-peningrs are provided in the bottom 19 in such a manner that the centrifuging disc or plate 12 serves for formation of an air flow or air cushion shutting or divert-ing away chips. For the purpo$e o~ increasing the air conveying effect of the rotating centrifuging disc 12, this disc 12 preferably along the underside ~ ~ S~ ~6 thereof or along the edge thereof can be provided with ribs or similar air-conveying means 12c. The air is suctioned through the suction-air-inlet open-ings 22 preferably slot-shaped as provided below the centrifuging disc 12 coaxially relative to the shaft 5, and conveyed between the underside of the centrifuging disc 12 and thc lower surface 19 of the chute 1 in a direction to-ward the outlet and consequently aiding in discharge protecti.ng the chip flow without having the glued chips stri.ke or engage upon the centrifuging disc 12, and consequently being subjected to a danger of chip destruction. The air-conveying and guidance of the centrifuging disc can be so developed that the conveyed air rises in the lower part of the cilute by a predetermined extent or measure upwardly along the inner wall of the chute and accordingly permitting an air cushion to arise Nhich nnakes possible a protective chip movement.
~ith the embodiment of the centrifuging disc 12' according to Figure 5, the disc is located securely or rigidly upon the shaft 5 above a suction opening 22' in the :lower surface 19 of the chute 1. Air feeding or conveying ribs 12'c as Nell as at least one centrifuging disc 1.2i reaching nea-rly to the wall of the chute 1 effect a suctioning of air in the direction of the arrows L whereby advantageously above the first disc 12'a there is arranged a second disc 12'b Nhich likewise is provided Nith air-conveying ribs 12'c and the like. Also here the suctioned and upwardly conveyed air is to support the chip cushion and preclude that the dropping chips come into engagement with the centrifuging disc. For improvement of the air guidance, it is noted that the discs 12a and/or 12b can be provided with air openings 6~, ribs and the like.
~ith the embodiment oE Figure 1, a glue addition or supply means 13 is provided from the outside with which the glue addition tubes or pipes 13' arranged individually axially with spacing from each other pass through the double mantle la and terminate inside the mantle. The glue supply or additive ~ ~ 5 ~ 2~
means 14 is provided as an alternate glue additive or supply means in the region of the upper face side 18. Also several supply or additive pipes or tubes 14' can be provided whereby the tube 14' passes through the face side 18 and opens approximately in the region of the uppermost chip-forming tool 9' in such a manner that the discharge opening preferably is directed against the wall of the drum or chute 1.
~ igure 6 schematically illustrates different possibilities of glue fceding or supply from the outside. The glue supply pipes basically can be arranged distributed along the circu~ference or periphery of the chute 1 in an axial and/or radial plane but also in a helical or spiral shape.
~ith axial arrangement as shown in ~igure 1, it is purposeful if the chip-forming tools ~ each pass directly between two adjoining glue supply tubes or pipes 13' and flowing along the same in such a manner that the inwardly projecting segments of the tubes or pipes 13' are engaged by the chip flow taken along or following therewith so that approximately glue adhering to the glue pipes or tubes is wiped away continuously.
In Figure 4, there i5 shown a glue container 24 connected by way of conduits 24a with the glue supply pipes or tubes 13 corresponding to the axial arrangement of Figure l; this glue container 24 is embodied pressureless and is effective as a glue distributor and is supplied by a glue feed or supply conduit 24'.
Also conceivable i5 an embodiment with which a glue distributor 25 (see Figure 6) lies below the gl~e supply pipe or tube 13' and is colmected with feed lines or conduits 25a to the glue pipes or tubelets 13'. The liquid glue is supplied to the distributor 25 through the collecting conduit 25'.
Tlle pipes or tubes 13~ also can be arranged distributed over the periphery or circumference of the chute 1 in a radial plane and can serve also ~ ~ 5~
for supplying or admixing of additional components such as emulsions, water, insecticides and the like, irrespective of w~ether an axial or radial arrange-ment is used. With the arrangement of a glue container below the feed or supply pipe 13', the glue supply or addition occurs by means of nominal overpressure.
Figure 6 illustrates yet another embodlment with which the distributor is a hose conduit 2~ which lies in the height or level of the glue supply pipe 13' and leading from the conduits 26a to the individual pipes 13' whereby between conduit 26 and supply lines 26a there is connected a distribu-tor piece.
This embodiment is especially suitable when the glue is added under pressure.
~s shDwn further by Figure 6, the conduits of these individual arrangement possibilities lead to the pipes or tubes 13' which also with this embodiment project over the wall of the chute 1 into the free cylinder space of chamber. The glue supply tubes can with an especially advantageous embodiment be provided with high pressure nozzles prefera~ly wide-stream nozzles and also being provided with a high pressure pump with which preferably a pressure of 20 to 40 bar is generated and being connected therewith. The glue is distribut-ed into a wide spray or stream by such nozzles whereby an especially intensive and good glue comminution and glue distribution is attainable.
~igure 7 shows that such nozz]es can be arranged lying in a single radial plane whereby advantageously three nozzles are distributed uniformly over the periphery or circumference. The nozzles also can be located adjacent to each other in axial direction so that also the tools 9 can graze therealong and therebetwecn.
The glue supply nozzles 27 are shown in ~igure 7; these glue supply nozzles 27 are preferably arranged tangentially in such a manner that the nozzles 27 open into the chute 1 in the rotational direction 2S of the chip ring.
The nozzles 27 can further be pivotally journalled in such a manner that the - 13 _ spray stream is pivotable toward all sides within the pivot region of 10 to ~0, preferably 15. Upon adiustment or setting of the nozzles up to 90 there is possible a glue addition or supplying counter to the rotational direction of the chip material ring whereby an improved whirling of the chip veil or mist is brought about. By way of the -tangentially directed discharge o~ the spray stream existing under high pressure, there can he enhanced the ring Formation of the chip flow in the region of the ring formation zone 15. Furthermore, there ls to be attained by way of the adjustment of the nozzles 27 in all directions and on all sides that the spray cones of different sizes are gener-ated whereby the deposit ~ormation of acc~ulation of glue on the inner wall of the drum chute, on the tools and on the shaft is precluded. Finally, by way of the upward or downward inclination of the spray nozzles 27 as schematlcally illustrated in Pigure 7a, there also can be influenced the formation and sha-pe of the chip ring or the downward- and/or upward-movement thereof, and according-ly there can be influenced the duration of dwell time therewith.
~ccordingly, by way~of the lateral or height pivot capability of the nozzles, particularly the nozzle stream, there can be influenced the speed of the downward move~ent of the chip flow, partlcularly to such an extent that with a spray directlon CQUnter to the arrow directlon A the desired intensive glue distribution is increased and by way of the side adjustment and/or dif-ferent sizes of spray cones, the glue deposit or accumulation on the drum wall and shaft 5 is precluded.
Figures 8 and 9 show an embodiment with which the glue is supplied from the inside. Within the hollow shaft 5 (Figure 8) there is located a glue supply pipe or tube 61 from which the glue by way oE several openings 29 pro~ided ln the shaft 5 comes upon a glue dlstributor -plate or dlsc 31 which is provided with a preferably slanted outwardly inclined cover 32. l'his cover 32 -~ 14 -forms a slot-shaped discharge opening 33a with the edge 33 of the plate or disc 31, and the glue is centrifuged out~ardly in the direction of the wall of the container 1 by way of the discharge opening 33a where the chip flow is located along the wall. ~elow the discharge opening of the glue supply pipe or tube 28 there is located a part 30 covering the hollow chamber of the shaft 5, for example a disc, which is provided closely below the discharge opening 30. The actual discharge opening 33a is located approximately in a spacing of 20 mm to 100 mm from the inner ~all; the glue passes through the discharge opening 33a distributed finely outwardly directly into the chip ring located therewith.
The embodiment according to ~igure 9 differs from the embodiment of Figure 8 only thereby that at the radially outer end of the slanted or inclined cover 32 in the region of the edge 32' of this cover there is provided a draft or outline edge 32'~ formed thereto which limits the slot-shaped discharge opening 33a.
F~gure ~ shows an embodiment for the chip-ring-forming tools provided in the ring-forming zone lS ~see ~:igllre 1). These ring-forming tools are arranged on the shaft 5 offset or displaced relative to each other in peripheral direction~ and bent away forwardly in such a manner in rotational direction 28 that the tools form an acute angle ~ with the radial fastening plane thereof.
The tools proyide a continuously decreasing cross section outwardly as far as to the tip ~Q thereof extending accordingly substantially pointedly in the manner of a horn whereby the tool back 36 is rounded off. Under these circum-stances, the face 37 of the chip-forming tool 9 directed -forwardly in rotational direction 28 provides two stra~ght surfaces 38, 39 lying substantially V-shaped relative to each other. The embocliment of a tool effects a soft, chip-protecting engagement first in the tip ~0 of the tool into the chip flow or into the chip ring and a displacement of the chips along the straight surfaces 38, 39 whereby - 15 ~
these chips are intensively thoroughly mixed, with each other.
The brake tools 10 illustrated in Figures 11, lla provide a scoop or blade-like extension 41 extending in rotational direction 28 of the shaft 5 of which the surface ~2 directed upwardly is embodied sligh-tly concave in curvature and the lower surface 43 thereof extends outwardly bulged or curvedin arcuate shape in a direction onto the shaft 44 of the tool 10. A leading edge 45 of the brake tool 10 e~tends in-to a tip ~G in such a manner that this front tip ~6 of the foremost point of the tool is in the rotating direction and the Eront edge ~5 o the tip 46 extends back toward the extension or comlection in the shaft. The rear edge 48 of the narrow surface of the blade or scoop is made in an arcuate shape and has a transition ~ith a larger arcuate radius into the lower edge leading to the shat in rotational direction and parallel to the outer edge 49.
Advantageously, the brake tool 10 is so installed slanted or inclined forwardly that the tip thereof is deeper than the rear blade surface, so that the chip mater~al received ~r taken up receives a movement component directed upwardly in rotational direction. The slanted or inclined position can be adjusted respectively and correspondingly according to the quantity conveyed or passing therethrough and according to the chip characteristic.
The discharge tools 11 illustrated schematically in Figures 12, 12a are made having a paddle shape and taper outwardly. The shaft 50 which is pro-vided with the screw-in thread provides a circular cross section with the other tools and has a transition Erom this circular shape in-to a substantially rec-tangular or square cross section which ls increasingly smalle~ toward the outside in such a manner that the chip material conveying face surface 51 is slightly concave while the rear surface 52 is substantially a straight or linear surface embodied therewith.
~ ~ ~4 ~
Aside :Erom the previousl~ indicated advantages, there is particularly advantageous with the apparatus according to the present invention ~ha-t the drive capacity is up to o~er 5~ smaller than with devices or apparatus accord-ing to the state of the art. Consequently! the present inventive apparatus proYides a saving in energy.
In summary, the present invention provides a method for gluing or application o glue relative to chips or particles containing chips, Eibers, and similar ligno-cellular material which are discharged :Ealling freely into a vertical chute, and being subjected at least partially -to rotational forces dur-ing a downward movement thereof, being glued and thereafter being discharged from the chute characterized there~ that the chips during the free-Eall thereof are collected into a rotating chip material ring and are glued after at least substantial formation of the chip material ring are subjected to uwpardly di.rected components of movement in such a manner that the chip material ring is stopped in the downward movement thereof.
