Description

A kind of thickness of slab of medium density fiberboard measuring method and device
Technical field
The invention belongs to object thickness field of measuring technique, relate to a kind of sheet metal thickness measuring method and device, be specially a kind of for thickness of slab of medium density fiberboard measuring method and device.
Background technology
Medium density fibre board (MDF) be utilize the raw material such as undersized log, brush wood and wood machining residues through chipping, a kind of sheet material of processing of the operation such as defibrator process, applying glue, dry, moulding, precompressed, hot pressing, cutting edge, sanding, tool has been widely used.Molding procedure is to adopt machinery or air forming method to mat formation into the continuous slab band of certain width and thickness through applying glue and dried fiber, and the slab after moulding is very fluffy, and thickness is large, density is very low, and impact transportation and slab enter hot press.Therefore, before hot pressing, need slab to carry out precompressed, increase slab density and reduce thickness, to facilitate mat conveyor and to enter hot press.And then the slab thickness after precompressed and weight are carried out to on-line measurement, prevent that underproof slab from entering hot press, density with sheet material after assurance hot pressing reaches quality requirements and avoids hot press to cause damage, particularly particularly important to continuous flat press type hot pressing machine; In addition, carry out real-time online measuring by the slab thickness to after precompressed, can, by slab thickness information Real-time Feedback to mat forming machine, shaping fiber amount be adjusted in real time.
When precompressed, conventionally slab is compressed to the thickness of production board, but due to the elasticity restitution of fiber, after precompressed, the thickness of slab has a rebound, be generally 4 times of left and right of production board thickness, according to the thickness of finished product sheet material and density requirements, after precompressed, the thickness range of slab is 10mm~200mm; Slab density is about 200kg/m 3, there is certain intensity, but its surface being very not smooth bright and clean, slab is also a kind of porous material in addition.
At present, in actual production and experimental study, the On-line Measuring Method of slab thickness after precompressed is mainly contained to the contactless measurements such as laser, ultrasound wave, X ray, and adopt the contact measurement method of Linear displacement transducer.
Contactless measurement can not cause damage to steel slab surface, and because the fiberboard slab after precompressed is a kind of porous material, and production environment exists the impact of the factors such as dust, and above-mentioned several contactless measurements all exist certain defect.

For ultrasonic Method for Measuring, because fibre mat has a large amount of holes, cause hyperacoustic a large amount of scattering and energy attenuation, make to measure the slab thickness value showing and be significantly less than slab actual (real) thickness value, error is larger, even non-metering.The method is also under test at present, not yet in slab thickness is measured, obtains practical application.
For X-ray measurement method, its principle is that while penetrating slab according to X ray, the damping capacity of intensity is carried out converted measurement thickness, but X ray is in the time penetrating the medium such as different materials and dust, oil smoke, its attenuation degree also can be different, therefore its measuring accuracy is affected by environment larger, also need to carry out temperature compensation, less stable, maintenance and maintenance cost are larger.Therefore, the method be not suitable for the thickness measure of fibre mat.
For the contact measurement method that adopts Linear displacement transducer, Linear displacement transducer is installed perpendicular to tested plate surface, the displacement of measuring staff equals the thickness of sheet material, can directly measure the thickness of sheet material, because measuring staff need to contact with tested sheet material, require tested sheet material to there is larger hardness and brighter and cleaner even curface, the early stage thickness that is mainly used in measuring production board abroad, measure and be difficult to realize for slab thickness softer and that thickness is larger, also be at present the experimental study stage, not yet obtain practical application.

Then, the angular displacement pulse signal of incremental-rotating coder output is by data collecting card Gather and input computing machine, utilize data processing software (as LabVIEW) the diagonal displacement pulse signal in computing machine to process, and utilize formula (I) to calculate slab thickness
H=R(1-cosα) (I)
In formula (I), the thickness that H is tested slab, R is fork effective length, α is the angle (rotational angle of incremental-rotating coder rotor) that fork swings while departing from plumbness.
Show in real time calculating the slab thickness value obtaining by data processing software, and thickness signal value is exported to hot press slab feed arrangement and plate blank paving forming machine, prevent that defective slab from entering hot press, the shaping fiber amount of mat forming machine is adjusted simultaneously.
