Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for feeding tree trunks to a processing machine by means of centering elements that can be adjusted symmetrically to the feed center line of the processing machine, wherein several opposing guide surfaces on the tree trunk are milled before the entry into the processing machine and immediately afterwards engage with guide elements.
- Tree trunks that are broken down in processing machines, such as sawing machines and profile cutting machines, into beams, squared timber, boards and, if applicable, useful chips, must be fed to the processing machine in a straight line, the feed center line being intended to match the center line of the tree trunk as closely as possible to enable optimal use of wood.
- pivoting movements of the tree trunk must be largely excluded, since otherwise the cuts will not run in a straight line.
- the tree trunks are picked up for this purpose in the central area and at the end by centrally adjustable collets which are each carried by slides which can be moved along a rail .
- the tree trunk picked up in this way is fed to milling cutters, who mill the processing areas on which the tree trunk is then guided by guide rollers.
- the middle collet opens; the tree trunk is then guided between the guide rollers and with the rear collet.
- the tree trunk that is guided and partially machined in this way is fed to a processing device in which the outer surface of the trunk is milled cylindrically.
- the invention is also intended to provide an advantageous device for carrying out this method.
- This object is achieved in that a plurality of groups of at least partially drivable centering rollers arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement of the tree trunks are controlled during the feeding of a tree trunk in such a way that the centering rollers symmetrically feed the groups that have passed through from the beginning and end of the trunk be set while the centering rollers of the other groups in their retracted D .W. remain relieved position.
- the individual groups of centering rollers remain stationary in the method according to the invention. With the forward-moving tree trunk, only those points move where the centering rollers support the tree trunk symmetrically to its center line.
- This support takes place at the end of the trunk during the entire feeding process, that is to say all groups of centering rolls which have been successively passed through from the end of the trunk guide and support the end of the trunk.
- the beginning of the trunk is only supported and guided by the groups of centering rolls that have passed through until it is inserted into the device which mills the guide surfaces, which are then supported by the guide elements immediately afterwards.
- the tree trunk can be fed to the processing machine, for example a saw, immediately afterwards and without the need to pick it up again between guide rollers.
- the entire workflow can be carried out continuously since the end of a preceding tree trunk can directly follow the beginning of the trunk of a subsequent tree trunk. This enables a very high working speed.
- centering rollers for feeding tree trunks to processing machines, which are fed centrally from opposite sides (DE-OS 16 28 866).
- the centering rollers are arranged in two fixed groups through which the building trunk passes. If the tree trunk is curved, it carries out a pivoting movement.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a device for feeding tree trunks to a saw
- FIGS. 2-4 the device according to FIG. 1 in successive steps of the feeding process
- FIG. 5 shows an enlarged partial section along the line VV in FIG. 4 and
- FIG. 6 is a partial view in the direction of arrow VI in FIG. 5th
- the feed device shown in the drawing has a chain bed 2, which can be raised and driven on parallel core 1, on which a tree trunk 3 to be processed is conveyed.
- a sensing roller 4 is arranged so as to be vertically movable, which is connected to a measuring device (not shown).
- a signal given by the sensing roller 4 shows that the center of the tree trunk 2 is approximately in the feed center line.
- the chain bed 2 is held at this altitude, while the tree trunk 3 is transported further. As shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows that each group 5-10 of centering rolls 11 each have two centering rolls 11 lying opposite one another in pairs.
- the centering rollers 11, which can be driven individually by drive motors 13, are each mounted on a swivel arm 14, which is in each case attached to a swivel shaft 15.
- the pivot shafts 15 of opposing centering rollers 11 are connected to one another via crank arms 16 and a common link 17.
- a pressure medium-actuated cylinder 18 drives the opposite centering rollers 11, which are connected to one another in this way, for opposite feed movements symmetrically to the feed center line 12. (Fig. 6).
- a control device receives a signal indicating the respective position of the start and end of the trunk.
- This signal can be supplied, for example, by several light barriers (not shown) which are arranged along the path of the tree trunk 3. Instead of this, it is also possible, after a starting position of the tree trunk 3 has been recorded by a computer, to determine the respective position of the beginning and end of the trunk.
- the control device controls the cylinders 18 for the infeed movement of the centering rollers in such a way that the centering rollers 11 of the group 5-10 located at the beginning and end of the trunk are fed, while the other centering rollers 11 in their retracted position out of engagement with the Tree trunk 3 are located.
- centering rollers 11 of group 8 have been delivered at the beginning of the trunk. Also the Centering rollers of group 10 are still delivered; they lead the stem end of the previous stem. The centering rollers of group 5 are delivered because they take over the tree trunk 3 from the chain bed 2.
- Tree trunk 3 between the centering rollers 11 of the foremost group 10 at the trunk ari and between the centering rollers 11 of the rearmost group 5 at the end of the trunk.
- the tree trunk enters a processing station 19, in which several mutually opposite cutters 20 mill opposite guide surfaces 21 on the tree trunk 3 (FIG. 4).
- these guide surfaces 21 are supported and guided on guide bodies 22.
- the tree trunk 3 enters a processing machine 23 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, has a group of circular saws 24 through which the tree trunk in squared timber and / or
- the milling cutters 20 can also be arranged and designed such that they mill four longitudinal edges on the tree trunk 3, which serve as guide surfaces for the subsequent guide bodies 22 and which at the same time form the edges of the side boards during the subsequent sawing process.
- the tree trunk 3 is fed with the root end first. That the back - 3 -
- the end of the braid forming the stem is straight in most cases, while the end of the root is very often curved on one side.
- the centering of the tree trunk 3 thus takes place at the straight end of the braid, while the leading end of the root has already been milled laterally by the milling cutters 20 at the start of the feeding process.
- the guide bodies 22 can be replaced by guide rollers if the forces occurring on the subsequent machining tools 24 are approximately balanced. With higher one-sided machining forces, the guide bodies 22 are more suitable for guiding and lateral support.
- centering rollers 11 each of which do not assume a guiding function for the tree trunk 3, have been withdrawn. Instead, it can also be provided that these centering rollers are only relieved; the centering rollers are then still on the tree trunk 3, but do not exert any significant lateral forces on the tree trunk and therefore do not have a guiding function.
- centering rolls 11 can also be selected, for example three centering rolls 11 evenly distributed around the circumference of the tree trunk. It is also possible to center the rolls only in one level, preferably in the horizontal plane, only two opposite centering rollers 11 being provided in each group 5-10, while the tree trunk 3 lies on a chain bed, roller bed or a similar horizontal guide and is transported.
