Abstract
Description
- This invention refers to a device for engaging and disengaging claws axially gripping a log of wood inserted in a veneer cutting machine.
- In the known types of veneer cutting machines, which are used for obtaining sheets of veneer from rotating logs of wood by the action of a blade parallel to the axis of rotation of the log, the log is axially secured to two rotating spindles by means of gripping claws which are inserted into it at both ends.
- Said claws are axially movable so as to enable them to move away from and towards the ends of the log and thus keep it secured to the spindles during the cutting and, at the end of the operation, to release the remaining core of wood which is conveyed away from the machine in order to make room for the next log.
- Unfortunately, in some machines of known technique, it very often occurs that, due to the forcible penetration of the teeth of the claws and to the elasticity of the wood, the core of wood remains attached by one of its ends to said teeth and it is consequently necessary to remove it by hand, resulting in a considerable waste of time and a reduction in the volume of work produced by the machine.
- US-A-3 176 735 suggests slidably supporting claw centres, spring biased in one direction to a position in which they project beyond the claw teeth, so as to force the log off the claws as the claws are retracted. However, each spring biased centre acts on the log continuously and therefore produces a reduction in the penetrating force of the claw teeth into the log.
- The general scope of this invention is to obviate the aforementioned problem by providing devices which ensure efficient disengagement of the gripping claws from the ends of the residual core of wood in veneer cutting machines.
- This scope is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
- The innovatory principles of this invention and its advantages with respect to the known technique will be more clearly evident from the following description of a possible exemplificative embodiment applying such principles, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- figure 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a device for axial engagement and disengagement of a log according to the invention;
- figure 2 shows a schematic plan view of a veneer cutting machine comprising two devices of figure 1.
- With reference to the figures, as shown in figure 1, a device, generically indicated by
reference 12, for engaging and disengaging a plurality ofteeth 10 of aclaw 13 in one end of alog 14 comprises ashaft 15 carrying theclaw 13 and fitted, slidingly but not rotatingly, by means of asplined profile 16, intocouplings 24 in aspindle 18. - The
spindle 18 in turn is housed, by means ofbearings - The
shaft 15 is axially movable by known traversing means (for example hydraulic), not shown, to enable the gripping claws to carry out said known movement towards and away from the end of the log. - Housed inside the
shaft 15 is a single-actingpiston 20, hydraulically or pneumatically operated by means of aduct 21 inside theshaft 15 and connected by means of a rotatingjoint 23 of known technique to a supply system which is not shown since it can be of any known type. - In this way the
shaft 15 is free to rotate driven by thespindle 18 which, in order to rotate, is connected to apulley 25 coaxial thereto. - The
piston 20 acts upon apusher 22 which passes axially through theclaw 13 between theteeth 10. - As can be seen in figure 2, the
device 12 and a device 12' of identical structure form an integral part of aveneer cutting machine 26 the remainder of which is made according to the known technique and is therefore neither described nor drawn in detail. - The two
devices 12, 12' are disposed at both ends of thelog 14 and thedevice 12 is provided with acoupling 27 between thepulley 25 and anelectric motor 28. - Since the two
devices 12, 12' are made substantially identical, further description is considered superfluous; the component parts of the device 12' will simply be distinguished from the analogous parts of thedevice 12 by the suffix "prime". - Since the device 12' is not connected to driving mechanisms, obviously, it need not necessarily be provided with the
pulley 25. - When the veneer cutting machine is in operation, the
shafts 15, 15' are pushed by the known traversing means so that the teeth of theclaws 13, 13' engage in the ends of the log positioned between them so that thespindle 18 can drive it round when themotor 28 is turned on for the veneer cutting operations. - On completion of the aforesaid operations, the
shafts 15, 15' retract and at the same time the pistons inside them are fed so as to operate the pushers in the claws which exert pressure on the ends of the log thus reliably disengaging it from theteeth 10, 10'. - Once the processing residue has been expelled, the pressure is released from the pistons and the pushers remain in their extracted position until they are moved back to their initial retracted position by the teeth of the claws penetrating the end of the subsequent log thanks to the forward movement of the
shafts 15, 15'. - As is easily imaginable, the device is thus able to exert all the necessary force to disengage the teeth of the claws from the wood without, however, reducing in any way whatsoever the force available for penetration of the teeth in order to secure the log.
- The foregoing description of a device applying the principles claimed herein is obviously given merely by way of example in order to illustrate such principles and should in no way be considered a limitation to the sphere of this invention.
- For example, the mechanisms transmitting motion to the
spindle 18 may be of any type known to the technician and not necessarily belts and pulleys as shown in the figures. Likewise, the means for preventing relative rotatory movement between the spindle and the sliding shaft may also be different, as is easily imaginable by any technician expert in the field.
Claims (2)
- Device for axial engagement and disengagement of one end of a log of wood rotating in a veneer cutting machine, of the type comprising a claw (13), having a plurality of teeth (10) which penetrate into the wood, disposed on a shaft (15) which rotates by means of a coupling with a spindle (18) in which said shaft (15) slides axially from a first position in which the teeth (10) penetrate the log to a second position in which the teeth (10) are removed from the log, in order to insert the teeth (10) into the end of the log and thus cause it to rotate for the veener cutting operations while cooperating with a similar device at the other end of the log, and a pusher (22) disposed coaxially to said claw (13), which pushes the log away from said teeth (10) during the substantially simultaneous movement of the shaft from said first to said second position, characterized by operated actuators (20), by means of which the pusher (22) is positively movable between a retracted position in which it does not interfere with the log penetrated by the teeth (10) and a projected position in which it pushes the log off the teeth (10).
- Device as claimed in Claim 1, characterized by the fact that said actuating means comprise a piston (20) incorporated in said shaft (15), which moves coaxially to the pusher (22) to shift it into said projected position and is fed through a duct (21) inside the shaft connected to a control fluid supply circuit by means of a rotating joint (23) disposed at the end of the shaft opposite the end carrying the claw.
