Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for separating or slitting a rigid material to be cut, in particular wood, with a modulus of elasticity of preferably approximately 50,000 to 400,000 kg / cm2, in which a narrow cutting element has Tool, in particular a circular saw blade, creates a gap of finite width in the clippings at a cutting speed of more than about 40 m / s, and a side product after passing through the cutting elements by means of a wedge-like, spatially fixed separating element out of the cleaving plane in such a way from the main goods of the clippings is bent that the side goods are always at a distance from the tool after passing the cutting elements.
  • the invention further relates to a device for cutting or slitting a rigid material to be cut, in particular wood, with a modulus of elasticity of preferably approximately 50,000 to 400,000 kg / cm2, with a narrow tool having cutting elements, in particular a circular saw blade, which at a cutting speed of more than about 40 m / s attaches a gap of finite width in the clippings, and with a wedge-like, spatially fixed separating element that bends a side product out of the main plane of the clippings after passing through the cutting elements in such a way that the side products after passing through the cutting Elements always have a distance from the tool.
  • the known method and the known device have the sense to reduce the thermal load on the circular saw blade, which is caused by friction of the wood on the circular saw blade.
  • the thermal load on the circular saw blade which is caused by friction of the wood on the circular saw blade.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that the remaining residual friction work between the separated side goods and the separating element is further reduced.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that when the cut material enters the tool, the side goods are first bent with their tip at a smaller angle and then first with the tip and then over their entire further length at a larger angle that after the transition to the larger angle, the side fabric maintains a gap to the surface of a first, outer section of the separating element adjacent to the tool.
  • this object is achieved in that the separating element, viewed in the direction of advance of the clippings, is at a distance from it adjacent to the tool and when the clippings run in System coming to the clippings circumference is provided with a hump, and that an imaginary connecting line between the hump and the cutting elements runs at a distance above a first section of the separating element lying between the hump and the circumference.
  • the wood entering the tool is namely raised in the area of the tip of the separated side board first at the smaller angle and bent relatively slightly from the splitting plane.
  • the side board is practically abruptly bent again by a further angle step out of the parting plane, this larger bending angle then being maintained for the entire further sawing of the continuously incoming cut material.
  • the detached side board then only slides on the surface of the hump, while the area between the hump and teeth of the circular saw blade is spanned by the detached side board and, as a result of the distance that occurs there, there is no contact between the detached side board and the separating element.
  • the feed speed in these applications is more than 1 m / s and the distance between the teeth and the hump, viewed in the feed direction of the material to be cut, may be a few ten centimeters, it becomes clear that the detached side board remains on the outer circumference of the separating element is only a few tenths of a second until the cusp is finally larger.
  • the mechanical and thus thermal load on the outer areas of the separating element are therefore limited to minimal periods of time which have no effect in practice. Rather, it is achieved with the invention that, in continuous operation, the mechanical loading of the separating element is limited to the area of the cusp, which can be optimized in its shape from various points of view.
  • Other protective measures, such as cooling, surface coating and. The like. Are easier in the area of the cusps because the separating element is thicker there and is therefore more suitable for corresponding additional structural measures than in the relatively narrow peripheral edge of the separating element.
  • the smaller angle is between 1 ° and 10 °, preferably it is 4 °.
  • the larger angle is between 3 ° and 12 °, preferably 6 °.
  • exemplary embodiments are preferred in which the separating element is arranged on a circular saw blade and is essentially in the form of a circular disk.
  • the area of engagement of the circular saw or the circular disc-shaped separating element then has the shape of a circular section.
  • all three sections are preferably provided with a surface whose shape corresponds to a surface that is simply curved in space, the entire surface including a certain angle to the splitting plane, the radius of curvature of the surface being perpendicular to the direction of advance of the material to be cut, and finally the curvature of the surface in one Direction within the splitting plane, but decreases from the outside inwards perpendicular to the feed direction.
  • first section has a first angle between 1 ° and 10 °, preferably 4 °, while a second angle of the second section is between 5 ° and 30 °, preferably 15 °.
  • third section preferably runs parallel to the parting plane, so that its angle of inclination is 0 °.
  • the incoming side board is first bent on the first, less inclined section with its tip, then runs onto the second, much more inclined section and finally is bent at its upper boundary edge, namely the hump, for the further course becomes.
  • the bending process takes place two-dimensionally, on the one hand the side board is bent in the feed direction out of the parting plane, but on the other hand it is also bent transversely to the feed direction, namely in the direction of engagement of the circular saw blade.
  • This optimal shape is present in particular when the transition from the first to the second section is a line which runs perpendicular to the direction of advance and / or the transition forming the bump between the second section and third section has a linear course, the line being constant , third angle to the feed direction is inclined. Finally, an optimal effect is achieved if the transition and the bump intersect at the periphery of the separating element.
  • 10 designates a circular saw.
  • the circular saw 10 has a circular saw blade 11 which is provided with a flat section 12 in the region near the axis. With 13 a drive shaft for the circular saw blade 11 is indicated, and 14 is an arrow with which it is symbolized that the circular saw blade 11 rotates during operation.
  • the circular saw blade 11 In the vicinity of the periphery, the circular saw blade 11 is provided with a peripheral edge 15 of a type known per se and the function of which will be discussed further below. Finally, the circular saw blade 11 is provided with teeth 16 on its circumference in the usual manner.
  • the circular saw 10 is provided with an approximately circular disk-shaped separating element 20 coaxial to the circular saw blade 11. With 21 it is indicated that the separating element 20 is fixed in space, i.e. does not rotate with the circular saw blade 11.
  • a peripheral circumference 22 of the separating element 20 nestles against the inside of the raised edge 15 of the circular saw blade 11.
  • a first inclined section 23 leads from the circumference 22 inwards in the radial direction, to which a second inclined section 24 then adjoins.
  • the second inclined section 24 terminates in a bump 25 at its upper edge.
  • a third, flat section 26 then adjoins the hump 25 radially inwards.
  • FIG. 30 is a wooden profile, for example a model, as it is processed in conventional sawmill systems.
  • An arrow 31 indicates the feed direction of the wooden profile 30 in the illustration in FIG. 1 from right to left.
  • a thicker main article 32 remains, and a side article 33, for example a side board, is separated from the main article 32 on the side.
  • the side fabric 33 consequently runs with its tip 34 or its underside 35 onto the first inclined section 23 and is thus from the gap 36 or the gap plane 37 turned.
  • a pressure element is symbolized by 38, which can act laterally on the side goods 33 in the area of the gap 36 in order to avoid undesired advancement of the gap against the feed direction 31.
  • Fig. 1 shows the state in which the wooden profile 30 is just entering the area of the circular saw 10.
  • the side goods 33 are initially only slightly bent with their tip 34 from the gap plane 37, because the tip 34 rests on the relatively less inclined first section 23 at the first moment of engagement.
  • FIG. 2 shows that the edge 15 of the circular saw blade 11 is provided with a run-on slope, the angle ⁇ of which may lie in the range between 10 and 60 °.
  • the upper edge of the edge 15 then merges almost continuously into the circumference 22 of the separating element 20. As already mentioned several times, this is inclined gently in this area, the corresponding first section 23 having an inclination angle ⁇ of preferably 5 °.
  • the arrangement can be such that an imaginary connecting line 27 between the upper edge of the edge 15 and the teeth 16 extends in continuation of the inclination of the first section 23, so that the tip 34 of the side fabric 33 with its underside 35 is just parallel to the connecting line 27 lies.
  • the tip 34 it is also possible for the tip 34 to rest on the first inclined section 23 substantially in the region of its front end.
  • FIG. 4 shows the separating element 20 as a whole, and it can be seen that it has an outer, flat region 50 which rises slightly conically inwards in order to pass into a reinforced flange region 51 there.
  • the engagement area of the separating element 20 is determined by an edge 52 which defines an area in the form of a circular section. This area corresponds to a center angle ⁇ of, for example, 90 °.
  • the sections 23, 24 and 26 lie somewhat below the flat area 50 of the separating element 20, which is manifested in a step 53 below the edge 52.
  • a linear transition 54 is located between the first section 23 and the second section 24, while the transition from the second section 24 to the third section 26 is formed by the likewise linear bump 25.
  • the two lines intersect at the periphery of the separating element 20.
  • the transition 54 is at right angles to the feed direction 31, while the bump 25 is inclined at an angle ⁇ to the transition 54, wherein the angle ⁇ is preferably about 15 °.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 contour lines of those areas are now shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 which are formed by sections 23, 24 and 26.
  • the surfaces of the sections 23, 24 and 26 near the edge 52 are flatter and steeper towards the periphery of the separating element 20.
  • FIG. 7 where the profiles of the surfaces or the transition 54 and the bump 25 (again not to scale) can be seen in a side view.
  • the radii of curvature R1, R2 and R3 in the vicinity of the periphery, in the middle and near the edge 52 are shown in Fig. 7.
  • the values of the radii of curvature R1, R2 and R3 take inwards, i.e. towards edge 52.
