Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a parquet cover formed from individual parquet slips for subsequent application to a carrier, and to a device for producing such a parquet cover, in particular for carrying out the method.

In the production of so-called finished parquet or parquet planks or boards, the Rohfunier straps or strips, which have been cut to the desired finished size, are glued with their underside to a plastic net or sewn with a plastic net, in order to then coat the parquet cover thus formed on a carrier material to apply. The carrier material often consists of chipboard or hardboard, which may be provided with all-round tongue and groove profiles. After the parquet cover formed from the veneer strips has been applied to the carrier material, the final treatment at the factory is carried out by grinding and sealing the surface of the parquet cover. The parquet boards or panels are then prepared for installation on site. The parquet boards or panels are joined together with their tongue and groove profile running around the carrier material or, if necessary, only laid on the correspondingly prefabricated sub-floor or on the substructure by gluing on the surrounding side edges.

A disadvantage of the known manufacturing methods, however, is the complex final treatment in order to achieve the smoothest possible surface of the parquet ceiling. Because in the known procedure of gluing or sewing the underside of the individual Funier straps to produce the parquet ceiling on a plastic net, this is one way of activating the glue high temperature required that an exact or joint-tight position of the veneer strips against each other is not guaranteed and often unacceptable uneven units arise. A complex reworking of the surface by sanding, if necessary filling, re-sanding and resealing is necessary, which does not always lead to satisfactory results even then.

DE 32 24 670 A1 already discloses a method and a device for producing floor elements from elongated wooden straps. However, this is the production of prefabricated planks for a wooden floor, the straps being 0.8 cm thick. The wooden slips are moved along transport paths running side by side and separated by partitions. The mutually facing long sides of the straps in adjacent rows are glued, a strip of compressible material being introduced between the glued surfaces. The foam between the straps should serve to compensate for changes in the dimensions of the wooden straps when swelling or shrinking. The rows are then brought together and the straps pressed together to glue them together and with the compressible strips. However, there is no frontal connection between the parquet straps in a row. To harden the glue, the slips are fed to a gluing station, which is followed by a cross-cut station for cutting the planks to length. In contrast to floorboards with a foam insert between the long sides of the straps, parquet ceilings, which are applied to a carrier material in a subsequent operation, have an essential requirement that the Funier straps, which have a relatively small thickness of about 0.2 cm, be joint-tight are held together with flat surfaces of the parquet ceiling.

The invention has for its object to develop a method of the type mentioned in such a way that parquet ceilings with high joint tightness of the Funier straps, smooth parquet surface and high dimensional accuracy can be easily and reliably produced without the need for extensive post-processing for sealing . Another object of the invention is to provide a device for producing parquet ceilings, in particular for carrying out the method, which, with a structurally simple construction, enables automated operation with high quality standards with regard to manufacturing precision.

The task i. w. solved in that the previously glued to their long and short sides of the parquet straps side by side in at least two webs through a heating section to activate the glue while simultaneously exercising an i. w. lateral contact pressure on the parquet straps and subsequently conveyed through a cooling section for curing the glue, with an i. w. vertical contact pressure is exerted in such a way that i. w. be pressed together tightly.

The method according to the invention enables a prefabricated parquet ceiling to be produced in a simple manner with high dimensional accuracy and extraordinary joint closure. The parquet slips conveyed next to each other in parallel paths experience a lateral, preferably elastic, contact pressure within the heating section, so that their mutually adjacent longitudinal sides already assume a mutually coherent position. The joint closure on the facing ends of the Parquet slips are achieved by generating a contact pressure that acts essentially perpendicularly along their conveying path, preferably flat. In this case, the pushing force promoting the parquet straps through the heating and cooling section counteracts such sliding friction that the straps are pressed against one another with their end faces. Both the lengthwise and the frontal joint closure of the parquet straps already take place within the heating section and are also retained in the subsequent cooling section. Initially, the glue applied to the side edges of the straps is activated within the heating section, which then hardens in the subsequent cooling section, whereby the raw parquet ceiling is completed. In order to achieve the fastest possible and, with a view to high manufacturing precision, above all even curing of the glue applied to the side edges of the parquet slips, cooled air, if necessary, can be directed or blown onto the parquet slips. To produce the finished parquet board or panel, the raw parquet ceiling is then applied to the substrate and the parquet surface is sealed, if necessary after sanding. Due to the exact joint closure of the parquet straps inside the parquet ceiling, in contrast to the known manufacturing processes, there can be no increased penetration of the lacquer applied to seal the parquet ceiling into the joints and thus unevenness in the parquet surface that time-consuming post-processing is eliminated.

In a first particular embodiment of the invention it is provided that the generally vertical contact pressure on the parquet slips is generated in the area of the cooling section. This measure has proven to be particularly advantageous in order not to hinder the feeding of the individual parquet slips into the heating section.

As soon as the first parquet straps of each strip enter the cooling section, the vertical contact pressure acting on the straps and the associated increased sliding friction result in a backlog of the following parquet straps that are still in the heating section, which causes the end of the joint to close . Of course, it is also possible to use the i. w. to generate vertical contact pressure on the parquet straps together with the lateral contact pressure within the heating zone. It is also conceivable that i. w. generate vertical contact pressure on the parquet straps in an intermediate area between the heating and cooling section.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the glued parquet straps are supplied to the heating section in a number corresponding to the webs and possibly offset in the conveying direction, the parquet straps supplied in each case exerting a pushing force on the parquet straps in front of the conveying direction. This measure also helps to ensure that the parquet straps close within the parquet ceiling. Because the fact that the parquet slips are conveyed along the processing path solely by the thrust transmitted by the new parquet slips that are fed into the heating section results in a permanent pressure on the parquet slips together with the sliding friction that counteracts the thrust End faces. In addition, no further drive device is required to transport the parquet straps along the processing path.

According to a further proposal of the invention, it is provided that the parquet ceiling is cut to a predetermined length after passing through the cooling zone, the cutting of the parquet straps by the Conveying speed or controlled by the clock of the conveyor, which also contributes to automation in production.

In terms of the device, the task i. w. solved by a device for conveying the previously glued parquet straps in at least two lanes side by side, by a heating section for activating the glue, within which the parquet straps are guided between an upper and a lower heatable plate element and within which means for pressing the side Parquet straps are provided with their long sides to each other, through a cooling section downstream of the heating section in the conveying direction for curing the glue and by means for producing an i. w. vertical pressure on the parquet straps.

The device according to the invention enables an automated manufacturing operation of a finished parquet ceiling of high dimensional and dimensional stability. In addition, the device is characterized by a structurally simple structure. The first assembly consists of the conveyor, by means of which the previously glued parquet slips are fed to the further processing stations in parallel and straight lines. In the heating section, as a second module, the glue is activated by heating. For this purpose, two heatable plate elements are provided, which simultaneously guide the parquet straps between their top and bottom sides. The two panel elements also have the task of smoothing or smoothing corrugated Funier straps so that they can be processed into dimensionally accurate parquet ceilings with flat surfaces. Due to the lateral, preferably elastic, pressure means arranged within the heating section, the joints close on the long sides of the parquet straps. In the Downstream cooling section, as a third assembly group, the glue on the parquet straps cures and thus is fixed within the parquet ceiling, the means for generating the flat contact pressure acting vertically on the parquet straps in cooperation with the shear force emanating from the conveying device ensures that the parquet straps are closed at the end.

In one embodiment of the invention, the lateral pressing means have a movable, preferably spring-loaded stop part and a stationary stop part cooperating therewith, which engage on opposite longitudinal sides of the at least two straps. The movable stop part at the same time makes it easier to insert the parquet slips into the heating section by means of the conveyor.

The two heatable plate elements, between which the webs with parquet straps for activating the glue are guided, can each be designed as a closed heating plate. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the two plate elements are divided into a plurality of heating zones, each of which is assigned to at least one of the webs with parquet straps and can be heated independently of one another or optionally switched on one after the other. As a result, only the area of the plate elements is heated in which the sheets with parquet straps are pushed through the heating section. This has the advantage in particular when operating the device with two or three webs that the temperature in the respective working area can be kept constant or stable, so that a uniform activation of the glue is achieved, which also leads to the joint-tight gluing of the parquet Contributes to the ceiling.

Regarding the means of generating the i. w. vertical contact pressure, it is provided according to the invention that a possibly arranged in the area of the cooling section and / or in an area between the heating and cooling sections, the apron sheets between the upper and lower plate elements, which are adjustable by means of tensioning elements, preferably , are held against each other under pressure. This will make an i. w. even and flat contact pressure exerted on the parquet straps, as a result of which an i. w. sets constant sliding friction of the individual parquet straps. This in turn contributes to the exact joint closure on the end faces of the parquet straps, which finally, in conjunction with the joint tightness on the long sides of the parquet straps, contributes to the smooth surface of the raw or, ultimately, the finished parquet ceiling.

According to a particular embodiment of the invention, a magazine unit for the parquet slips is provided in the conveying direction in front of the heating section, of which the latter is offset, for example by means of the number corresponding to the tracks and in an orientation corresponding to the arrangement within the respective parquet ceiling The conveyor can be removed and fed to the heating section. This achieves a continuous mode of operation of the device according to the invention, the parquet slips being removed in a synchronous movement of the magazine unit by means of the conveying device and jointly introduced into the heating section in the next conveying cycle. For the feeding of the parquet slips into the heating section and the further conveying through the entire device, all that is required as a drive unit is the one-way conveyor device proposed here. The individual parquet straps can be supplied according to the desired pattern of the finished parquet ceiling, for example offset in the longitudinal direction to produce a ship floor pattern. But there are also other laying patterns are possible, such as braiding patterns or cube patterns, in which the parquet is assembled from individual finished parquet panels with the parquet strips arranged in parallel. The magazine should also be equipped with a pneumatic pressure station, so that the parquet Riemcheri contained therein lie flat on top of one another and it is ensured that they can be fed to the heating and pressing section or to the cooling section more smoothly. In addition, by using a pneumatic pressure station on the magazine unit, it is also possible to process wavy parquet straps.

In a constructive embodiment of this inventive idea, each web of parquet straps is assigned a separate magazine, the individual magazines being in a positional relationship corresponding to the arrangement of the parquet straps within the respective parquet-ceiling pattern.

According to the invention, the conveying device has a, for example pneumatically or hydraulically actuated, push cylinder with a sliding part, which is designed to push the individual parquet slips from the magazine unit in cycles and feed them together to the heating section.

According to one embodiment of the invention, contact plates made of corrosion-resistant material, such as aluminum, can be arranged between the plate elements and the apron tracks, which are cooled by a blower. The straps run in the area of the cooling section between the two contact plates that are exposed to cooling air. In this way, a uniform hardening of the glue is achieved. Because the cooling air does not come into direct contact with the straps, none can Moisture penetrate the parquet wood so that there is no staining in the parquet ceiling. The supply of the cooling air can take place, for example, by providing conduit channels acted upon by the blower with cooling air within the cooling section and openings or the like within the plate elements for supplying the cooling air to the contact plates.

In order to be able to process parquet straps of different wood thicknesses or veneer thicknesses with one and the same machine, at least the upper plate element should be designed such that it can be adjusted in height within the heating section and / or the cooling section, if necessary.

According to the invention, finally, a cooling device for cutting the parquet ceiling to the respective finished dimension can be provided downstream of the cooling section, the actuation of which takes place as a function of the conveying speed or the stroke and / or the stroke cycle of the pushing cylinder of the conveying device.

All of the described and / or illustrated features, alone or in any meaningful combination, form the subject matter of the present invention, regardless of how they are summarized in the claims or their relationship.

The device for producing a parquet ceiling 2 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a conveying device 3 with a magazine unit 16, a heating section 5, an adjoining cooling section 8 and a downstream cutting device 21.

The conveying device 3 has a base frame 23 flanged to the frame 22 of the heating section 5, on which a pneumatically operated push cylinder 18 is held. Of course, it is also possible to provide a hydraulically actuated thrust cylinder 18. On the push rod 24 of the push cylinder 18, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, a plate-shaped sliding unit 19 is articulated, which is guided on a frame table 25 of the base frame 23.

The magazine unit 16 is also arranged on the frame 22 of the heating section 5 for storing the parquet straps 1 which have already been glued on their longitudinal and end faces. The magazine unit 16, which may be height-adjustable, with its magazine outlets, is located at a distance approximately corresponding to the thickness of the parquet straps 1 above the rack table 25 and at the same time in the effective range of the sliding unit 19 of the push cylinder 18. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, the magazine unit 16 in the embodiment selected here from three individual magazines 17a, 17b, 17c, which are in such a positional relationship to one another as corresponds to the arrangement of the parquet straps 1 within the respective parquet pattern. In the exemplary embodiment selected here, the individual magazines 17a, 17b, 17c are aligned for a ship's floor pattern with parquet straps 1 arranged in an offset manner. By rearranging the individual magazines 17a, 17b, 17c, possibly with the arrangement of additional individual magazines, other laying patterns can also be produced . As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the plate-shaped sliding unit 19 has on its front side facing the magazine units 17a, 17b, 17c a contour that corresponds to the laying pattern, here the ship floor pattern. When the push cylinder 18 is actuated, the sliding unit 19 then slides forward on the rack table 25 and pushes the lowest one, ie the parquet strap 1 resting on the rack table 25, of each of the three apron stacks accommodated in the magazines 17a, 17b, 17c the subsequent heating section 25. By pulling back the push rod 24 of the push cylinder 18, the sliding unit 19 returns to its initial position, so that the next parquet strap 1 of the three strappy stacks accommodated in the magazines 17a, 17b, 17c is down on the rack table 25 can move up to be inserted into the heating section 5 in the following cycle.

The magazine unit 16 is equipped with a pneumatic pressure station 33 in order to ensure that the parquet straps 1 accommodated in the magazines 17a, 17b, 17c are fed smoothly and are not susceptible to faults. As a result, the apron packs accommodated in the magazines 17a, 17b, 17c are pressed flat against one another, so that tilting within the magazines 17a, 17b, 17c is impossible even when using wavy parquet aprons 1.

The heating section 5, which serves to activate the glue applied to the side edges of the parquet straps 1 and to smooth or flatten any undulating Rohfunier straps 1, is constructed in the manner of a press with two heatable plate elements 6a, 6b, between which the of the conveyor 3 in parallel straight lines 4a, 4b, 4c inserted parquet straps 1 are guided. The plate elements 6a, 6b are adjustable in height, so that processing of different thicknesses of the parquet straps 1 is also possible. Furthermore, means 7 are provided within the heating section 5 for laterally pressing the parquet straps 1 in order to achieve a joint closure on the adjoining long sides of the parquet straps 1. For this purpose, a fixed stop part 11 extending along the conveying path is provided on the lower or upper plate element 6a, 6b, against which the parquet straps 1 are pressed transversely to the conveying direction by means of a movable stop part 10 provided on the opposite long side of the frame 22. The contact pressure is built up by means of pressure springs 12. According to FIG. 3, the movable stop part 10 in the insertion area of the heating section 5 is designed to be split in order to facilitate the feeding of the parquet straps 1 into the heating section 5. The two stops 10, 11 are designed in the form of strips and simultaneously serve as lateral guides for the parquet straps 1.

The heating device of the plate elements 6a, 6b is divided into a plurality of heating zones which are separate from one another, the first heating zone comprising the area of the three straps 4a, 4b, 4c. Depending on the number of straps used in the machine, only those heating zones are operated that come into contact with the straps. As a result, an extraordinarily high temperature stability is achieved within the respective working range of the plate elements 6a, 6b, so that with economical heating a uniform activation of the glue on the parquet straps 1 and thus a joint-tight gluing of the parquet ceiling 2 is possible.

The three webs 4a, 4b, 4c of parquet straps 1 then reach the cooling section 8, where the previously activated glue is cured on the longitudinal and end faces of the parquet straps 1 by blowing in possibly cooled air. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the apron tracks 4a, 4b, 4c are guided in the area of the cooling section 8 between two contact plates 34a, 34b made of aluminum, which are in contact with the apron tracks 4a, 4b by means of two plate elements 13a, 13b , 4c are held. The lower plate element 13b rests on a base frame 26, while the upper plate element 13a exerts an essentially vertical contact pressure on the contact plate 34a and thus on the parquet straps 1 by means of clamping elements 14. As previously within the heating section 6, the parquet straps 1 experience a sliding friction which counteracts the thrust generated by the conveyor 3 and leads to the fact that the parquet straps 1 of the three webs 4a, 4b, 4c are also joint-tight with their end faces are pressed together so that a parquet cover in cooperation with the lateral pressing means 7 previously provided in the heating zone 2 can be produced with an exact joint closure.

In addition, lateral guide stops 15 for the apron tracks 4a, 4b, 4c are also provided within the cooling section 8 between the upper and lower plate elements 13a, 13b. For the introduction of cooling air for curing the glue, there are duct channels 20 above and below the two plate elements 13a, 13b with corresponding openings or recesses 32 within the plate elements 13a, 13b, which lead to the contact plates 34a, 34b. Due to the indirect cooling of the parquet straps 1 via the contact plates 34a, 34b, no moisture can penetrate into the parquet wood, and the use of corrosion-resistant contact plates 34a, 34b made of aluminum, for example compared to plates made of iron material, does not result in any undesirable stains in the parquet -Decke 2. This also ensures that during the heating of the parquet straps 1 in the heating zone 5 due to the moisture or residual moisture contained in the glue and in the wood material itself does not lead to oxidation stains on the parquet ceiling 2.

The structure of the cutting device 21, which is connected downstream of the cooling section 8 in the conveying direction, for cutting the parquet ceiling 2 to the respective finished dimension can be seen in FIG. This is a crosscut saw, which can be moved by means of a pneumatic cylinder 29 transversely to the conveying direction of the parquet ceiling 2. The cross-cut saw has a circular saw blade 28 driven by a motor 27. A stationary, approximately sleeve-shaped guide part 31 is provided for the cutting movement of the cross-cut saw, in which a slide rail 30 connected to the cross-cut saw is guided. For operation that is as automated as possible, the cutting device 21 is actuated as a function of the conveying speed or the stroke and the stroke cycle of the push cylinder 18 of the conveyor 3.

The parquet cover 2 thus produced is applied to the carrier material in further steps, after which the surface of the parquet cover 2 is sealed. Due to the exact joint closure and the smooth, flat surface of the parquet ceiling 2 produced with the machine described, a smooth surface can also be achieved in the subsequent sealing, without the need for post-processing in this final treatment.
