Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for finishing metal edges fitted to panels made of wood or the like.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the Italian patent application No. IT MI99A002342 in the name of the same applicant discloses an automatic device for milling bases on panels, which has two separate milling tools able to perform machining of the front and rear edge of the panel, respectively, each being able to travel along an inclined surface so as to follow the panel during its displacement and rotate by means of a support rotatable through 180 degrees so as to allow complete machining of the panels edges.
  • edges are satinized and anodized or suitably treated so as to provide the aesthetic effect and, in particular, the desired lustre.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • this device 1 is arranged downstream of a trimming 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 of inclinable 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.
  • the device 1 according to the invention comprises essentially a support structure 4, with a support base for receiving the panel, which may be in common with that of the edging machine A on which the device 1 is mounted.
  • 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.
  • a tool 6 formed by a roller supported in an idle manner on the support 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 the device 1 following displacement of the panel P or the said device 1.
  • a vertical 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.
  • the roller 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 the marking roller 6.
  • 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 the idle roller 6 is mounted.
  • the support is pivotably mounted on the support 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 the roller 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 the above milling tool 2 shown in Figure 1 .
  • the support 8 and the idle roller 6 are connected to the support structure 4 via a plate 9 acted on by spring means 10 able to push the idle 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 a support 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 the device 1.
  • a movable carriage 11 with a finishing unit 13 mounted thereon is actuated so as to be displaced by a first 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 the support structure 4.
  • 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 the carriage 11 and the finishing 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 the carriage 11 moves perfectly in synchronism with the panels P.
  • the first motor 12 causes displacement of the finishing 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.
  • 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 the finishing unit 13 along its displacement path.
  • Two mechanical safety end-of-travel stops 90 are nevertheless envisaged for limiting the displacement travel of the finishing unit 13.
  • the finishing unit 13 is rotatably mounted on the carriage 11 by means of a shaft about the transverse axis Y perpendicular to the direction of feeding X of the movable carriage 11.
  • the finishing unit 13 has, mounted thereon, the tool 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.
  • 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.
  • a second motor 14 integral with the carriage 11 and electrically coupled with the first motor 12 so as to synchronise in predefined operating steps the rotation of the finishing unit 13 with its displacement along the path above the carriage 11.
  • the second 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 the finishing unit 13.
  • this second rotor 14 is provided with an encoder for ensuring greater precision during angular positioning of the unit 13.
  • 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 a support 15 consisting of a plate with a disc-shaped form at the front on which a finishing head 16 with the tool 6, integral therewith, is slidably mounted along second guides 17.
  • a pneumatic actuator 18 is provided on the support 15 in order to displace the head 16 along the second guides 17 and thus push, with the correct pressure, the tool 6 against the zone F of the edge B of the panel P, allowing the mark to be impressed thereon.
  • the translatory movement of the finishing unit 13 may be mechanically constrained to the rotational movement of the said unit 13 by means of transmission means of the type described, with reference to a milling unit, in European patent 750536 .
