Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for eccentric cutting of veneers from a wood block according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are used to cut from a block of wood thin panels, which are also called veneers.
  • the process is also called knifes.
  • the wood block is clamped on a bearing surface formed by a flat surface of a beam construction. This is rotatably mounted about its horizontal longitudinal axis, so that with each rotational movement, a veneer with a parallel to the longitudinal axis mounted and cut to the beam construction to be cut knife.
  • Such devices are also known as Staylog knife machines.

  • a clamping device is arranged with laterally engaging in the wood block claws. The claws can be swung away when the block has been cut to a certain size.
  • the wood parts may get into the gap between the knife and the pressure bar of the veneer knife machine and clog it, so that they must be stopped and the gap must be cleaned. This is time consuming and deteriorates productivity accordingly.
  • the object of the invention is to equip a Staylog- knife machine so that at the first sign of erupting long sides of a wood block these can be smoothed by machine.
  • the object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the operator is motivated to start the processing of the long sides of the wood block early.
  • the emergence of loose fibers and / or chips is minimized or even prevented, thus ensuring a consistently high quality veneers with high yield.
  • the automatic driving of the wood block and the device for smoothing in a working position according to claim 2 accelerates and simplifies the processing even more.
  • a veneer knife machine consists of a base frame 1 on which a tool carriage 2 with a knife carrier 3 is fastened on one side, here on the left, and a stay log beam arrangement 4 on the other side.
  • the tool carriage 2 is mounted on two parallel rails 6 in a horizontal plane movable back and forth, as symbolized by the arrow 5.

  • the veneer knife machine corresponds to the state of the art.
  • the device for smoothing the longitudinal sides 19 of the wood block 16 comprises a support structure 20 associated with a stay log beam arrangement 4 for a milling cutter 30.
  • the support structure 20 comprises a box-shaped beam 21 of rectangular cross-section which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis 38 of the beam construction 12 and via two support arms 22 is hinged at the top of the racks 13.
  • the beam 21 is pivotable about an axis parallel to its longitudinal axis via two second hydraulic cylinder 23 from a rest position to a working position and vice versa. In working position, the narrow sides of the beam 21 are approximately horizontal; Direction and position information refers to this working position below.
  • first guide rails 24 are fixed, which extend between the support arms 22 parallel to the longitudinal axis over almost the entire length of the beam 21.

  • the mobility of the running arm 29 is ensured by a second rotatably mounted threaded spindle 35 with a second geared motor 36 and a matching threaded sleeve which is fixed to the sheet metal construction 28.
  • the entire knife-making machine including the device for smoothing the longitudinal sides 19 of the wood block 16 is connected to a central control - e.g. a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a computer - connected, which determines the workflow of the knife machine.
  • a central control e.g. a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a computer - connected, which determines the workflow of the knife machine.
  • the tool carriage 2 In operation, which runs with the exception of the smoothing of the longitudinal sides 19 of the wood block 16 as known from the prior art, the tool carriage 2 is initially moved back to the maximum possible distance to Staylog- beam assembly 4 - the so-called rest position. A wood block 16 is clamped on the beam construction 12 with the aid of the clamping jaws and optionally the retaining claws 19.
  • the tool slide 2 is advanced by means of the first hydraulic cylinder 14 into a working position such that a small horizontal gap remains between the outermost circle of rotation of the wood block 16 and the cutting edge of the knife 10.
  • the drive for the beam construction 12 is turned on, so that it is rotated with the clamped wood block 16 about its longitudinal axis 38 in the counterclockwise direction according to arrow 37 in Figure 1.
  • the cut veneer sheets are transported away automatically.
  • the tool carriage 2 pushes a defined distance in the direction of the staylog beam arrangement 4 with the aid of the first hydraulic cylinder 14, this distance corresponding to the desired thickness of the veneer sheet.
  • the wood block 16 becomes thinner and its longitudinal sides 19 taper sharply. From these tapered longitudinal sides 19 can - as already mentioned - tear out wooden parts. Before or as soon as there are indications, a machine operator initiates the smoothing of the longitudinal sides 19 by pressing a specific button on the control panel.
  • the smoothing then runs automatically:
  • the feed of the tool carriage 8 is interrupted and the beam construction 12 in. 9 clock moved position, that is, the support surface 15 is perpendicular and away from the tool slide 2.
  • the support structure 20 is moved with the milling cutter 30 from the rest position in which the support structure 20 is pivoted away from the rotational range of the wood block 16 to the top right, in the working position.
  • the milling head 31 is positioned so that it is at a longitudinal end of the wood block 16 in the correct height and distance.
  • the correct horizontal distance from the longitudinal axis 38 is known from the setting and operation of the knife machine in the controller.
  • the correct height can be easily calculated and thus adjusted automatically.
  • R is the distance of the rotation axis 39 of the beam construction 12 from the cutting edge of the knife 10
  • W is the distance of the support surface 19 from the longitudinal axis 38
  • S is the horizontal distance of the rotation axis 39 from the longitudinal axis 38.
  • the values R, W and S are known in the control of the knife machine from the settings and the operating data, so that the controller can calculate the value Y and drive the milling head 31 into the correct position.
  • the correct height is determined from the value Y minus a preselectable cutting depth T.
  • the milling cutter 30 is switched on and the milling head 31 is guided along the upper longitudinal side 19 of the wood block 16, wherein the milling head engages with the cutting depth T in the longitudinal side 19;
  • the first geared motor 34 is turned on and the carrier 26 is moved by means of the chain 33 along the beam 21.
  • the milling cutter 30 is moved downwards by the distance 2 x (Y - T) and the milling head 31 is returned along the lower longitudinal side 19. This completes the smoothing; the mill 30 is turned off and the support structure 20 is moved to the rest position.
  • the drive of the beam construction 12 is turned on and the knives continue.
  • the retaining claws 17 are moved to its rest position before the blade of the blade 10 is moved into the area where it could come into contact with the retaining claws 17.
  • two vertically spaced milling 30 are guided on the running arm 29.
  • both sides 19 are smoothed simultaneously after pressing the button.
  • a saw or a knife is employed, the tool being oriented to be sawed or cut in a horizontal plane.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment of the smoothing device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the device for eccentric cutting of veneers largely corresponds to the above-described Example 1 with the difference that the device for smoothing with all associated parts is fixed to the blade carrier 3, which requires a modified construction.
  • two support arms 40 are mounted on top of the knife carrier 3 so that their upper ends point to the left in the direction of the Staylog beam arrangement 4.
  • a box-shaped carrier 41 is arranged with its longitudinal axis parallel to the cutting edge of the blade 10.
  • two spaced-apart guide rails 42 are fastened parallel to the longitudinal axis of the carrier 41.
  • a support frame 43 is fixed, which is movable by means of a drive 44 along the guide rails 42.
  • the support frame 43 is in a rest position at one of the longitudinal ends of the knife carrier 3.
  • On the support frame 43 is a vertically downwardly facing Running arm 29 arranged with cutter 30, which substantially corresponds to that of the first embodiment.
  • light grids 45 are slidably mounted.
  • the light grids 45 are arranged in height so that they cover a horizontal area at the level of the axis of rotation of the beam construction 12. They are movable by hydraulic drives 46 in a horizontal plane.
  • the operation of smoothing the long sides 19 runs as follows: As soon as the machine operator determines that the longitudinal sides 19 of the clamped wood block 16 can tear, he presses a corresponding button on the control panel of the knife machine. This causes the feed of the tool carriage 2 is interrupted and this is moved by the first hydraulic cylinder 14 by a short, defined distance from the Staylog- beam assembly 4 away; the drive of the beam construction 12 is stopped. At the same time, the light grids 45 are moved by a certain distance in the direction of the staylog beam arrangement 4 into a measuring position.
  • the measuring position is here determined so that the outer portion of the wood block 16 is detected when it is rotated with the beam construction 12
  • the drive of the beam construction 12 is then turned on at a low pace until the upper of the longitudinal sides 19 of the wood block 16 a beam of light of the light grid 45 breaks through. This means reaching the correct position of the long side 19 for smoothing.
  • the milling cutter 30 is moved from the rest position into a defined, permanently adjustable working position, so that the milling head 31 is at a longitudinal end of the wood block 16 at the correct height.
  • the drive of the cutter 30 is turned on and the carrying frame 43 with the parts arranged thereon along the guide rails 42 to the opposite side of the rest position.
  • the upper longitudinal side 19 is smoothed with the cutting depth.
  • the drive of the beam construction is turned on at low speed until no more of the light rays of the light grid 45 is broken.
  • the support frame 43 with the parts disposed thereon moves along the guide rails 42 back to the rest position, and the drive of the cutter 30 is turned off.
  • the light grids 45 are moved back out of the measuring position and the tool slide 2 is moved into its last position prior to the initiation of smoothing towards the stay log beam arrangement 4.
  • the normal knife operation is started.
