Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for assembling veneers with a plurality of transport rollers arranged on a drive shaft and at least one counter-pressure roller arranged parallel to this, a heating device and a pressing device.
  • a device for assembling veneers with a plurality of transport rollers arranged on a drive shaft and at least one counter-pressure roller arranged parallel to this, a heating device and a pressing device.
  • Such a device is known from DE-A-2 523 110.
  • Another similar device is known from DE-A-34 09 178.
  • Devices of this type are used to glue individual veneers or strips of veneer lengthwise to one another in order to produce a large-area veneer sheet. Since the veneer workpieces to be processed later have large, but very thin sheets, it is necessary to position the individual veneers exactly against each other before the gluing takes place. It is necessary to position the edges to be glued exactly relative to each other over their entire length. It is known from the prior art to use a stop for this purpose, against which the individual veneer strips are conveyed. Particularly in the case of wavy veneer strips or conveyed at an angle to the direction of gluing, it is associated with considerable difficulties or in many cases completely impossible in the known machines to position the veneers.
  • Another veneer gluing machine is known from DE-C-747 289.
  • driving shafts of rotating belts or chains for feeding veneers are provided with slip clutches.
  • the slip clutches can be designed, for example, as sprockets.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned which, with a simple structure and reliable operability, ensures transport and alignment of even the thinnest veneers with uneven longitudinal edges so that the longitudinal edges are aligned transversely to the direction of flow in a desired gluing direction can.
  • the device according to the invention is distinguished by a number of considerable advantages. Due to the possibility of changing the diameter of an internal drive device, it is possible on the one hand to vary the contact pressure in the glue joint against the previous veneer sheets according to the respective requirements, and on the other hand to vary this contact pressure if veneers of varying thickness or different friction values are to be processed. According to the invention, the possibility of changing the diameter and allowing slippage, for example by means of a slip clutch, also leads to different conveying speeds or paths of the individual areas of the veneer or of the veneer sheet, so that veneers inserted obliquely or obliquely are aligned in a particularly simple manner can.
  • this transport and pressure roller is surrounded by an outer jacket made of an elastic material, which is held by means of a cylindrical carrier body inserted into the transport and pressure roller.
  • the transport and pressure roller is constructed in such a way that it receives a support cylinder with a central recess for carrying out a shaft and that in at least one area of the support cylinder a recess for transmitting the pressure of the pressure fluid to one acting on the jacket from the inside is preferred curved pressure plate is formed.
  • the invention provides that the support cylinder has an inner elastic hose in the region of the recess takes up, the inner wall of which can be acted upon by the pressure fluid.
  • the hose thus serves on the one hand to seal and on the other hand to evenly transmit the pressure applied by the pressure fluid.
  • the hose extends only over part of the length of the support cylinder. This opens up the possibility of arranging a plurality of such hose sections on a transport and pressure roller and pressurizing them individually separately, so that different contact pressures and different circumferential speeds can be achieved even when using only a single, continuous or sectioned transport and pressure roller .
  • the invention can also be applied to individual transport and pressure rollers which can be of any length. According to the invention, it is thus possible to align veneers with relatively short adhesive areas and to position them precisely.
  • the pressure fluid is preferably supplied through the shaft, it being possible for the shaft to have at least one central recess for the passage of the pressure fluid, which is connected to at least one radial recess of the shaft, which is in the space between the each hose section and the shaft opens.
  • the device according to the invention thus allows the longitudinal edges of the individual veneers or veneer sheets to be glued to be aligned exactly with one another, in particular in a line transverse to the transport direction, this being possible both in the case of straight-line and also in the case of corrugated or serrated connecting areas of veneers. So you can According to the invention, veneer sheets with uniform or beveled cut edges can also be positioned precisely and securely and connected to one another.
  • a device according to the invention has, in addition to the usual devices, which are known, for example, from a device according to DE-OS 26 14 216, to which reference is hereby made, a stationary table (23) and an upper pressure stamp (24).
  • a counter-pressure roller (12) is mounted in / on the upper pressure stamp (24) and a transport and pressure roller (11) in the lower table (23).
  • the pressure stamp (24) can be moved in the vertical direction in order to convey or clamp a veneer introduced in the transport direction A.
  • the table (23) and the pressure stamp (24) each have a heating device (25, 26), each of which, alone or together, can also be moved relatively vertically, so that they rest in the seam area of the veneers in contact with a veneer sheet (not shown) can be moved to carry out the gluing by means of pressure and heat.
  • an inlet conveyor belt (29) on which the veneer strips to be glued are fed.
  • An outlet conveyor belt (30) connects to the outlet side of the table (23) in an analogous manner in order to remove the veneer sheets glued together.
  • the press roller (12) is mounted on a shaft (31) and connected to it via a toothing or the like.
  • the shaft (31) is connected (in a manner not shown) to a drive, so that, as shown, it can be rotated clockwise.
  • the transport and pressure roller (11) is mounted on the table (23) and is also driven by a drive, not shown.
  • the device according to the invention for assembling veneers works in the usual way.
  • a wide glued veneer sheet is held by means of the brake stamp (27), whereby additional stop pins (32), which are mounted on the table (23), can be moved upwards in order to hold the veneer sheet or to position its rear edge exactly.
  • a veneer is then fed via the infeed conveyor belt (29) and the transport and pressure roller (11), which, after the stop elements (32) have been removed from the transport path, is brought into contact with the veneer sheet already present.
  • the upper pressure stamp (24) is moved downwards in order to press the incoming veneer and the previous veneer sheets, the previous veneer being firmly clamped in by the brake stamp (27) and the heating devices (25, 26) being pressed lightly on the veneers or the subsequent veneer sheet form a shaft.
  • the following veneer is pressed firmly against the previous veneer sheet by the transport and pressure roller (11) and counter-pressure rollers (12).
  • the upper and lower heating devices (25, 26) are activated with pressure and heat in order to bond the adhesive applied to the adhesive edge of the new veneer to the other veneer sheet when the new veneer is transported to it.
  • the necessary contact pressure between the veneers is generated and maintained by the transport and pressure roller (11) and the associated counter-pressure roller (12). After a predetermined exposure time, the interconnected veneer sheets are released and transported onward.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the transport and pressure roller (11) according to the invention and the associated driven counter-pressure roller (12) is shown.
  • the counter-pressure roller (12) is constructed in the usual way, so that a further description is unnecessary.
  • the transport and pressure roller (11) is formed from individual roller sections, each of which has an outer jacket (13) which is designed in the form of a cylinder jacket and consists of a rough material such as hard rubber.
  • This jacket (13) is carried by an inner carrier body (14) made of metal, which is also designed in the form of a cylinder jacket and has a central bore through which a support cylinder (17) with an inner shaft (16) is passed.
  • This shaft (16) is connected in a manner not shown to a lateral drive and has an inner bore (15) through which a pressure medium such as compressed air can be supplied.
  • the outer circumference of the jacket (13) shows a high coefficient of friction to ensure the transport and pressing of a veneer in a safe manner.
  • each carrier body (14) which forms only a short roller (50 - 100 mm) with the jacket (13), a support cylinder (17) is mounted, which has several parallel elongated recesses (18 ), the end areas of which are rounded and have smooth wall surfaces sloping inwards from the outside.
  • each of these recesses (18) there is a curved, removable pressure plate (19), which has an outer covering (20). made of a material such as hard rubber with a high coefficient of friction.
  • This outer coating (20) of the pressure plate (19) rests against the smooth support body (14) of the casing (13) and, with its friction surface, has the task, on the one hand, of taking the casing (13) with it at the same rotational speed or one under slip and contact pressure Allow relative movement, provided that the jacket (13) receives a lower rotational speed due to the fact that a veneer entrained by the jacket (13) encounters resistance (like the edge of a previous veneer sheet).
  • the frictional force occurring between the outer friction surface of the lining (20) of the pressure plate (19) and the surrounding smooth inner wall of the cylindrical support body (14) is controlled by the elastic wall of a hose (21) which is in sections within all the support cylinders (17) lying next to one another has moved in and is preferably under the pressure of a pressure medium compressed air.
  • This elastic hose (21) which extends in individual sections over the entire length of the shaft (16) or preferably almost only over the length of a support cylinder (17), consists for example of a plastic and is fully acted upon by a pressure medium on its inside which is guided through a central longitudinal bore (15) in the shaft (16) via the radial transverse channels (22) (cf. Fig. 5) to the hose (21) and has a static effect.
  • the pressure medium presses the flexible hose (21) into this recess (18) in such a way that the narrow, exposed pressure plate (19) moves outwards and with its covering (20) presses against the inner wall of the cylindrical support body (14) and thereby - depending on the Pressure of the pressure medium (e.g. 3 - 6 bar) - there builds up a more or less large friction force.
  • the pressure medium e.g. 3 - 6 bar
  • Radial grub screws (33) are used for the positive connection between the shaft (16) and the respective support cylinder (17).
