Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying surface pressure to progressive workpieces, such as wood-based panels or the like, in which at least one circumferential press belt can be pressed against the workpiece by a pressure medium which is sealed in an adjoining the press belt and sealed by means of a circumferential sealing strip , Rectangular pressure chamber on the side of the pressure belt facing the pressure plate can be introduced, the sealing strip being firmly connected to a correspondingly rectangular mounting frame which is guided in a groove in the pressure plate, movably mounted inwards and outwards in the groove and in the direction of the pressing band which slides along the sealing strip is under pressure.
  • a device of this type is known (DE-C-2 722 197), in which the pressure chamber is delimited by a rectangular sealing strip which is connected to a correspondingly rectangular mounting frame. Only the longitudinal parts of this mounting frame are equipped with support brackets which extend to both sides or to the groove base and which are supported on transverse slide bearings which are arranged in the pressure plate and do not impede the groove inward and the outward movement.
  • the support brackets and the associated cross slide bearings are not suitable for ensuring that the mounting frame does not tilt in the groove of the pressure plate and that the mounting frame does not fall out of the To prevent the groove of the pressure plate when the device is idling or when changing the press belt
  • manufacturing inaccuracies of the groove and the socket frame have a disadvantageous effect for guiding the socket frame in the groove.
  • the socket frame may jam in some places in the groove.
  • the invention has for its object to design a device of the type mentioned so that the frame is secured against falling out of the groove of the pressure plate and the securing elements simultaneously form guide members for the frame.
  • the supporting members holding and guiding the frame are spaced apart on the circumference of the pressure plate and accessible from the outer circumference of the pressure plate.
  • the line-shaped end of the screw, the pin or the flat fitting pieces in the guide groove transmit horizontal thrust forces acting on the seal to the pressure plate.
  • the friction on the side surfaces of the socket in the groove is kept low, for which purpose a lubrication of these surfaces can also be provided, which can be polished in addition to further reducing the friction. This in turn can seal the Side surfaces of the socket relative to the walls of the groove in the pressure plate and relative to a pressure space arranged therein can be improved
  • a pressure medium hose is arranged in the groove running parallel to the socket, this hose can not only press the socket with the sealing strip against the pressure band elastically with its pressure medium, but also serve as a coolant for the socket and the seal.
  • the device according to the invention consists of a lower frame 10 and an upper frame 11, in each of which endless press belts 12 are installed.
  • the press belts 12 are tensioned on deflection rollers 13 and can be driven by them. They are arranged with respect to one another with a gap which corresponds to the width of a workpiece 14 to be machined. While the press belts 12 carry out a horizontal movement with their surfaces touching the workpiece 14, the workpiece 14 is drawn into the device, specifically into the gap that exists between the surfaces, and is pressurized there by the surfaces of the press belts 12. When the workpiece 14 passes through the device, it is processed so that it leaves the gap between the press belts 12 at the outlet from the device as a finished workpiece (FIG. 9).
  • foils 15, which run off supply rolls 16, are pressed onto the top and bottom of the workpiece 14.
  • the upper frame 11 can be pressed against the lower frame 10 as a whole or, after a rough adjustment of the distance between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 10, the required pressure can be exerted by means of an air pressure which prevails in pressure chambers 17 which are each arranged on the back of the press belt 12 with respect to the workpiece 14, that is to say on the surface of the press belt 12 which is not in contact with the workpiece 14.
  • guide slides 18 are provided for the rough adjustment, which are fixedly arranged on the lower frame 10 and on which the upper frame 11 can be displaced in the vertical direction.
  • Hydraulic cylinders 19 provide for the displacement.
  • the pressure chambers 17 are delimited by pressure plates 20 which are guided relative to the frames 10 and 11 and are moved by hydraulic cylinders 21.
  • the pressure plate 20 has on its surface facing the press belt 12 a peripheral groove 22 for fastening a sealing strip 23 on the edge.
  • the sealing strip 23 lies against the circumferential press belt 12, which slides along the sealing strip 23 during operation.
  • the pressure chamber 17 is thus formed by the surface of the pressure plate 20, by the surface of the press belt 12 facing away from the workpiece 14 and by the circumferential sealing strip 23.
  • a pressure medium such as compressed air can be introduced into the pressure chamber 17 through the pressure plate 20 via openings 24 (FIG. 1).
  • the entire pressure plate 20 can be rotated, for example, about a central axis 25 running perpendicular to the press belt 12, so that its rectangular configuration with different side lengths allows the pressure chamber width to be adjusted to different workpiece widths.
  • the sealing strip 23 is supported without play in a groove 26 of the socket 27, which is held vertically movable in the groove 22 of the pressure plate 20 and is rectangular in cross section.
  • the socket 27 and sealing strip 23 thus form a unit.
  • the mount 27, which can be moved vertically in the groove 22 of the pressure plate 20, is held elastically by a pressure medium hose 28 which is connected to a pressure medium line 29 which is attached to the side of the pressure plate 20.
  • These guides 30 are formed, for example, by commercially available screws 31, the threaded ends of which are each formed into a guide pin 32 which is kept smaller in diameter.
  • These guide pins 32 engage in blind bores 33 arranged laterally in the holder 27, each of which is designed as a (vertical) groove running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the holder.
  • the width of each groove 33 corresponds to the diameter of the guide pins 32, so that through their lateral line contact adverse horizontal shear forces of the socket 27 are distributed in the groove to the number of screws 31.
  • the socket 27 is prevented from sliding out of the groove 22 in the rest position.
  • Lubricating nipples 35 are screwed into the screws 31 (FIG. 5) in order to refill new lubricants such as grease or the like at intervals.
  • the screws 31 each have a lubrication bore 36 in their longitudinal direction, which ends in the groove 33 and introduces the lubricant.
  • the groove 22 is in each case delimited by a circumferential profile strip 37 which is fastened to the pressure plate 20 by means of screws 38 on the edge.
  • This profile strip 37 is angular; whose short leg 37a bears against the pressure plate 20, through which the screws 38 are also guided and screwed into the pressure plate 20.
  • An annular seal 39 is arranged on the contact surface between the pressure plate 20 and the leg 37a, which seals the groove 22 formed upwards.
  • a bore 40 for supplying a pressure medium is arranged parallel to the screws 38, which opens into the groove 22.
  • This pressure medium acts on a sealing profile 41 which is arranged in the groove 22 between the socket 27 and the groove base. The holder 27 is pressed elastically onto the press belt 12 by the pressure medium.
  • a plurality of fitting pieces 42 are fastened in the vertical leg 37b of the profiled strip 37 at intervals from the lower edge by means of screws 43, which run parallel to the socket 27 from grooves upwards.
  • the fitting pieces 42 have an elongated hole 44, through which the screw 43 is inserted and holds the fitting piece 42 in an adjustable manner. The fitting piece 42 can thus be moved horizontally in the direction of the holder 27 (FIGS. 6 and 7).
  • the fitting piece 42 is, for example, semicircular on the upper side, as a result of which manufacturing can be simplified considerably (see FIG. 7).
  • FIG. 8 shows a further possibility of guiding the socket 27.
  • the fitting piece 46 is supported from below in a receiving recess 47 and is held adjustable by means of screws 48 at right angles to the socket 27.
  • the fitting pieces 46 can be designed here as short strip sections into which two screws 48 engage.
  • the socket 27 is guided over a large area on the fitting pieces 46.
  • lubricating nipples 35 can also be fastened into the strip-shaped fitting pieces 46, via which a lubricant can be supplied in order to reduce the friction.
  • Such fitting pieces 42, 46 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 have the advantage that horizontal thrust forces, which are derived from the sealing strip 23 on the socket 27, on the side surfaces (ie over a wide area) of the fitting pieces 42, 46 or on the adjacent contact surfaces the profile bar 37 transferred and thus be taken up by the pressure plate 20.
  • the illustrated guide pins 32 or fitting pieces 42, 46 can be adjusted by means of the screws 31, 43, 48 or the like inserted laterally or on the press belt side, so that their pressure on the holder 27 is variable.
