Description

Automatic bamboo turning feeder
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of the bamboo timber production facility of reorganization, concretely relates to automatic upset feeder of bamboo timber.
Background
The recombined material is a structural material with large density and high strength, which is generally made by cutting, splitting, making threads or layers of bamboo strips, drying, dipping, longitudinally paving and hot-pressing bamboo strips or bamboo threads, and is widely applied in recent years.
In practical production applications, the density of the pressed finished product is often uneven. For this reason, the prior understanding is that: because the thickness and the width dimension of the thin bamboo strips are larger, the rigidity of the thin bamboo strips is higher, and the thin bamboo strips are inevitably bridged with each other during pavement, the thin bamboo strips can not be fully contacted and softened during pressing, so that the product has uneven density and rough tail surface.
For this reason, the existing methods include: the bamboo skin is woven before being paved (such as CN 112743653A-a recombined bamboo woven curtain paving process), or the bamboo skin is sewn (such as CN 108340466A-a bamboo bundle fiber veneer paving method and equipment). The method solves the problem of uneven density to a certain extent.
However, these approaches, while alleviating the problem of density non-uniformity, are still somewhat limited in effectiveness. Through intensive studies by the applicant, it was found that there are other important reasons for the problem of density unevenness: because the growth characteristic of mao bamboo itself, its length direction has the tapering, radially has the thickness difference, so thin bamboo strips used for weaving after discongesting all differ in length direction and thickness, and main tail is that the width of root one end cross-section is little, thickness is big, and afterbody one end cross-section width is big, thickness is little. Although the difference between the two ends of a single bamboo strip is not obvious, the sum of a plurality of stacked bamboo strips is obvious in difference, and finally the density of a finished product after pressing is uneven.
In view of this, it is found that the production process of the recombined bamboo can be improved in a targeted manner, that is, the bamboo splits or the bamboo filaments are woven or sewn, and the bamboo strips forming the curtain are turned over at intervals of one or more pieces during paving, so that the densities of the two ends are consistent. However, this method requires turning over a large bamboo material to be formed into a curtain, and is inconvenient to operate and may not be turned over by mistake. Therefore, the bamboo splits or the bamboo filaments are turned at intervals before weaving or sewing is a better choice. If the turnover of the thin bamboo strips or the bamboo filaments is realized manually, the labor intensity is high. Therefore, a device capable of automatically overturning and feeding bamboo splits or bamboo filaments needs to be developed.
