Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for finishing metal edges fitted to panels made of wood or the like.
- More specifically, the device in question is intended to perform a machining operation consisting in joining and rounding the corners which delimit the sides of the panels.
- The device may be advantageously mounted on a dedicated machine or may be provided on panel edging machines equipped with various working units arranged in series and comprising, for example, end-butting, milling, sanding, gluing, trimming or other units.
- In the wood processing industry, and in particular in the furniture industry, it is customary to line panels by fitting edges which are then finished, rounding off their corners with the desired profiles.
- For this purpose, edging machines are known to exist on the market, these machines being provided with automatic devices which have a milling tool able to follow the panels during their travel between an entrance way and an exit way and perform edging of the corners of the sides after the latter have been fitted.
- For example, the Italian patent application No. IT
MI99A002342 - At present, for mainly aesthetic reasons, an increasingly important and growing market is that of wood panels (or panels made of similar material) which are finished with metal edges in particular made of aluminium. The metal edge, in addition to having improved mechanical strength, scuff resistance and abrasion resistance properties, is particularly valued from a purely aesthetic point of view owing to the metallic effect which it gives to the panel.
- The edges are satinized and anodized or suitably treated so as to provide the aesthetic effect and, in particular, the desired lustre.
- As is known, satinizing and anodization are performed in zones formed in the peripheral part of the edges where the latter are machined with milling tools so as to obtain the desired joining angle with the panel surface.
- These smoothed zones are left visible. The mechanical milling operations have the effect of rendering the surfaces glossy, reflective and often not entirely uniform.
- In order to overcome this drawback, at present edging machines with devices for finishing metal edges have been envisaged, said devices being provided with smoothing tools consisting of abrasive-paper belts able to eliminate the surface effect of mechanical machining, namely the undulations and lustre of the treated zones, providing them again with a satinized or similar appearance.
- The main disadvantage of this technique consists in the fact that the aluminium smoothing operations are very complex and require the use of a tool specially designed for the purpose and in particular an abrasive belt which must be replaced very frequently since it has a very limited wear.
- Tools consisting of brushes with abrasive-paper lamellae have also been used, which tools, although bettering the performance of abrasive belts, have never achieved satisfactory results in terms of duration. These brushes, moreover, have proved to have the drawback that they ruin the satinized surfaces of the panel owing to the deformation which they undergo during treatment of the panel and owing to their wear which ultimately results in some of their deformed parts interfering with the satinized surfaces of the panel, i.e. both of the edge and of the laminated parts.
- Further drawbacks of the devices used hitherto to treat the zones of the edges subject to joining machining operations are the high volume, excessive cost, high maintenance and contamination with aluminium powders which are difficult to remove.
- A further drawback consists in the fact that the devices with the tools described above are suitable for treating exclusively the upper and lower zones of the edges while the panels advance through conventional edging machines.
- In fact, these tools are unable to treat the vertical zone of the edges which, remaining glossy and non-uniform as a result of the abovementioned milling operations, prevent optimum qualitative standards being achieved. In this situation, the main object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks associated with the devices of the known type by providing a device for finishing metal edges fitted to wood panels, which allows the milled zones to be treated in a simple and low-cost manner.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows any milled zone of the edge of the panel to be treated, providing it with a lustre and a surface appearance substantially similar to that of the non-milled parts of the edge.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a device which has small dimensions.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which is constructional simple and operationally entirely reliable.
- The invention is defined in the appended claims. The advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the detailed description which follows, provided with reference to the accompanying drawings which show some purely exemplary and non-limiting embodiments thereof, where:
-

Figure 8 shows schematically a perspective view of the device according toFigure 3 . - With reference to the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes in its entirety a device for finishing metal edges fitted to wood panels according to the present invention.
- The
device 1 in question may be arranged on machines A for edging panels P arranged in series with other working units such as an end-butting unit, a milling unit, a sanding unit, a gluing unit, a trimming unit or other units. - In accordance with the example of embodiment illustrated in
Figure 1 thisdevice 1 is arranged downstream of atrimming device 2 which can be inclined at an angle of between 0° and 45° by means of motors rotated through 90° for machining operations using end milling cutters on zones F of the edge B of the panels P and downstream of a device/assembly ofinclinable brushes 3 for cleaning the panels P. - The
device 1 is intended to treat the zones F of the metal edge B of a panel P, in particular made of chipboard, MDF or the like, in order to eliminate the surface effect of mechanical machining, i.e. the undulations and the lustre so as to provide again these zones F with a satinized or similar appearance. Thedevice 1 according to the invention comprises essentially asupport structure 4, with a support base for receiving the panel, which may be in common with that of the edging machine A on which thedevice 1 is mounted. In this case, this common support structure is provided with means for feeding the panels P, for example consisting of a track-type conveyor belt 5 which is per se of the conventional type and able to cause feeding of the individual panels P in a horizontal position and in succession between an entrance way and an exit way. - In accordance with the idea underlying the present invention it is envisaged providing a
tool 6 formed by a roller supported in an idle manner on thesupport structure 4 and provided with an external incision surface able to rotate in contact with the zone F the edge B so as to impress a mark on it when the panel P passes through thedevice 1 following displacement of the panel P or thesaid device 1. - In order to allow the correct positioning of the
marking roller 6, avertical coupling device 7, consisting preferably of an idle roller with a horizontal axis able to rest on the upper or lower surface of the panel P, is advantageously provided. - The mark is obtained by pushing the
idle roller 6 with a pressure in the range of between 5 and 50 kg (50 to 500 N) and preferably between 10 and 15 kg (100 to 150 N) against the metal edge B of the panel P. Theroller 6 is provided with an external incision surface which undergoes treatment involving a double coating of titanium in order to reduce the friction and increase the working life of themarking roller 6. - For the sake of simplicity of manufacture the surface of the
roller 6 may be simply provided with a thread or channels parallel to the lathe, for example preferably with a pitch of two tenths of a millimetre and depth of 7 hundredths of a millimetre. - The device comprises a
support 8 on which theidle roller 6 is mounted. The support is pivotably mounted on thesupport structure 4 and may be made to rotate in an adjustable manner about an axis X' parallel to the feeding direction X in order to provide theroller 6 with an inclination preferably at an angle of between 5° and 45° and similar to that of the surface of the zone on the edge of the panel as obtained by theabove milling tool 2 shown inFigure 1 . - In greater detail, the
support 8 and theidle roller 6 are connected to thesupport structure 4 via aplate 9 acted on by spring means 10 able to push theidle roller 6 against the zone F of the edge B to be treated. - The device for finishing metal edges indicated by 1 in
Figures 6-8 envisages asupport structure 4 with means provided for feeding the panels for example consisting of a track-type conveyor belt which is per se of the conventional type, able to cause feeding of the panels individually and in a horizontal position, in succession with respect to each other between an entrance way and an exit way of thedevice 1. - A
movable carriage 11 with afinishing unit 13 mounted thereon is actuated so as to be displaced by afirst motor 12, over a suitable displacement path in a feeding direction X parallel to the direction of the panel P, along a first guide G formed on thesupport structure 4. - For this purpose the first motor 12 (preferably a worm gear motor) is connected to the
carriage 11 via flexible drive means. The latter advantageously consist of a chain wound endlessly around a driving wheel, a tensioning wheel and two transmission wheels. - The
first motor 12 advantageously consists of a normal asynchronous motor which is therefore available on the market at a low cost. This motor is controlled by an inverter connected to the PLC having an electronic positioning system which is able to control rotation of the rotor with the magnetic poles and therefore, ultimately, control the position of thecarriage 11 and thefinishing unit 13 along the guide G. - The movement of the panels is assisted by an encoder which is also connected to the PLC and is able to produce a pulsed signal able to operate the inverter of the
first motor 12 so that thecarriage 11 moves perfectly in synchronism with the panels P. - Consequently the
first motor 12 causes displacement of thefinishing unit 13 at the same speed as the panels P and therefore this unit, in respect of said displacement, may be regarded as being stationary with respect to the panels. - Alternatively the
first motor 12 may be also provided with an encoder connected to the PLC so as to ensure a greater precision during positioning of thefinishing unit 13 along its displacement path. - Two mechanical safety end-of-
travel stops 90 are nevertheless envisaged for limiting the displacement travel of thefinishing unit 13. - The
finishing unit 13 is rotatably mounted on thecarriage 11 by means of a shaft about the transverse axis Y perpendicular to the direction of feeding X of themovable carriage 11. - According to the invention, the
finishing unit 13 has, mounted thereon, thetool 6 described above and consisting of an idle roller with an external incision surface able to rotate in contact with the zone F of the edge B of the panel P so as to impress a mark on the substantially vertical zones F of the said panel while the latter is displaced in the feeding direction X. - From a functional point of view, the
finishing unit 13 is actuated so as to rotate about the shaft with a transverse axis Y in a synchronized manner with its displacement above the carriage so as to treat the abovementioned vertical zones of the edges B of the panels. - For this purpose, it is preferable to envisage a
second motor 14 integral with thecarriage 11 and electrically coupled with thefirst motor 12 so as to synchronise in predefined operating steps the rotation of thefinishing unit 13 with its displacement along the path above thecarriage 11. Thesecond motor 14 consists of a worm gear motor controlled by means of an inverter connected to the PLC and provided with a pulsed positioning device for correct angular positioning of thefinishing unit 13. Preferably thissecond rotor 14 is provided with an encoder for ensuring greater precision during angular positioning of theunit 13. More generally, the first motor and/or the second motor may also be controlled by other electrical actuating systems (actuating systems for brushless, DC or other types of motors), without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the present patent. - The finishing
unit 13 comprises asupport 15 consisting of a plate with a disc-shaped form at the front on which a finishinghead 16 with thetool 6, integral therewith, is slidably mounted along second guides 17. - A
pneumatic actuator 18 is provided on thesupport 15 in order to displace thehead 16 along the second guides 17 and thus push, with the correct pressure, thetool 6 against the zone F of the edge B of the panel P, allowing the mark to be impressed thereon. - Special coupling devices of the type known per se or within the grasp of any person skilled in the art may be envisaged for correct supporting and centring of the
tool 6 on the edge B of the panel to be treated. - As an alternative to the solution described above, the translatory movement of the finishing
unit 13 may be mechanically constrained to the rotational movement of the saidunit 13 by means of transmission means of the type described, with reference to a milling unit, inEuropean patent 750536 - With the invention it is possible to treat, in a low-cost manner, all the milled zones of a metal edge, in particular an edge made of aluminium, so as to provide it again with a satinized or similar appearance.
