Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a side fabric separating device for a sawing machine, which processes in the feed direction along a transport path through the sawing machine transported sawing material in successive functional units.
  • the side-goods separating device serves to derive sidewalls of the sawing material arranged in lateral edge sections of the transport path from the sawing material transported in the feed direction. It comprises a carrier arrangement arranged below the transport path, which supports the sawing material transported in the feed direction along the transport path and whose width measured essentially orthogonal to the feed direction is selected such that main product of the saw object arranged in the central section of the transport path is supported and that in lateral edge sections the transport path arranged side goods of SAgeguts is not supported.
  • the side fabric can thus fall down when passing the side fabric deposition device under gravity and separated from the centrally located in the region around the longitudinal axis of the transport path main product, which, supported by the carrier assembly, transported on the transport path and subjected to further processing steps.
  • the carrier arrangement is formed by two chains guided parallel to one another in the feed direction of the sawing material, on which the sawing material rests.
  • the chains run around sprockets whose carrier shafts are axially displaceable to each other, so that the chains are set with each other at different distances from each other can.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is the relatively high wear of the chains and sprockets.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the known side goods deposition device to the extent that the required maintenance is reduced.
  • the carrier assembly comprises roller elements which are rotatable about mutually parallel axes perpendicular to the feed direction and rolls on the lateral surface of the transported in the feed direction sawing material.
  • the sawing material which usually comes from an upstream sawing unit and enters the side-goods separating device, which consists of a composite of main and side goods, is transported over rollers arranged below the sawing material.
  • the rollers are centered about the longitudinal axis of the transport path and have a width that they essentially support the main product and so protect against falling down, but that the sidewalls located in the lateral edge areas is not supported and therefore floats freely and by their gravity down falls.
  • rolling elements come body with a substantially cylindrical shape in question, for example, rollers or rollers or arrangements with several such bodies.
  • roller elements which are considerably less susceptible to dirt than, for example, chains, are used as elements which come into contact with the material to be sawed, the wear is low. Because of the simpler structure also results in cheaper production costs. In addition, very high transport speeds for the sawing material can be achieved.
  • Adaptation to different widths of wood to be processed can basically be done by using rollers with different widths.
  • the roller elements of the carrier arrangement are at least partially displaceable in the direction of their axis of rotation, that is to say essentially horizontally in the transverse direction to the feed direction.
  • the individual in the feed direction successively arranged roller elements with offset from each other then can be set arbitrary widths without having to change individual components.
  • each roller element on a transverse in the transverse direction to the feed direction rotating shaft by a splined connection rotatably, but be mounted axially displaceable.
  • a height adjustment may also be provided. This can be realized for example by an adjustability of the upper frame part.
  • roller elements are mounted displaceably, but, for example, to increase the stability, it may well be useful if fixed at predetermined intervals in the feed direction roller elements are installed, which are rotatably connected with their rotational shaft and axially fixed. Preferably, these fixed roller elements are about the longitudinal axis the transport track centered attached.
  • the roller elements of the carrier assembly may all have the same thickness measured along their axis of rotation. Their cylindrical outer surfaces, on which rests the sawing material, then all have the same height, so that an aligned arrangement of the roller elements in succession results in the feed direction, when all roller elements are centered in the middle of the transport path of shegeguts.
  • the strength of the roller elements then essentially defines the narrowest width of the main article supporting portion of the carrier assembly.
  • the displaceable in the direction of its axis of rotation roller elements of the support assembly may comprise first displaceable roller elements which are displaceable in the transverse direction to the feed direction to the one longitudinal side of the transport path, and second displaceable roller elements which are displaceable in the transverse direction to the feed direction to the opposite longitudinal side of the transport path ,
  • first and the second displaceable roller elements which can be displaced in the direction of their axis of rotation, can be displaced on both longitudinal sides by equal distances.
  • the width of the supported by the support assembly portion can be adjusted in a symmetrical manner about the longitudinal axis of the transport path. With suitable coupling of the roller elements with each other, this can even be achieved by actuation of a single control element, which greatly simplifies the adaptation of the side fabric separator to different width of sawing material to be processed.
  • roller elements of the carrier arrangement displaceable in the direction of its axis of rotation may be driven by at least one adjusting device.
  • all displaceable in the direction of its axis of rotation roller elements of the carrier assembly may be coupled together and driven by a common associated actuator so that the width of the supported by the roller elements portion of the transport path can be changed by pressing only a single actuator.
  • a suitable power transmission arrangement for coupling the roller elements with each other it is about to connect individual roller elements via a linkage, which in turn is coupled to the adjusting device.
  • the actuator can be used as a linear drive, e.g. be designed mechanically as a spindle drive or as a hydraulically or pneumatically operated cylinder / piston device.
  • a simultaneous movement of the first and second roller elements in opposite directions can be realized for example by a single actuator, if this comprises a spindle having two sections with mutually complementary thread pitch along which a respective slide member is moved in opposite direction upon rotation of the spindle.
  • the adjusting device is preferably arranged below the carrier arrangement, namely substantially below the transport path, so that the side goods fall laterally.
  • This is problematic in view of a possible contamination caused by falling wood or wood chips, dust and the like. And associated wear or maintenance, but has the great advantage that a compact and space-saving design is possible. It has been shown that the choice of suitable adjusting devices and appropriate protective measures, the pollution problem can be solved.
  • the displaceable roller elements of the support arrangement are provided on an end face with Ableitan extract along which the deposited side goods can slide away under gravity from the extending in the feed direction transport path outwards and downwards.
  • Ableitbleche be attached to those end faces of the movable roller elements that move in their displacement on a longitudinal edge of the transport path. The Ableitbleche then move with adjustment of the width of the supported by the support assembly section always correct.
  • third roller elements driven by a first drive motor can be provided, which can be brought into contact with the transported sawing material from above.
  • Such third roller elements may be rotatable about an axis extending horizontally and transversely to the feed direction and driven by an associated drive motor.
  • a second transport device driven by a second drive motor can be arranged below the roller elements of the carrier arrangement on which the transported sawing material rests.
  • This second drive device does not drive the sawing material directly, but at least a part of the roller elements of the carrier arrangement, on which the sawing material rests.
  • a common drive motor for the first and second transport device can be used, which is coupled via suitable power transmission arrangements with the corresponding roller elements of the carrier arrangement or third roller elements. Since just below the transport path, the dirt load is particularly large, were previously roles with its own drive to transport the sawed material preferably from above the shegegutes or brought into contact with this from the side.
  • the second transport device may comprise a drive chain running endlessly along the feed direction, the upper belt of which bears against the lower side of at least part of the roller elements of the carrier arrangement.
  • This chain does not need to be adjustable in width. Since it does not come into direct contact with the material to be sawed, the risk of contamination is relatively low.
  • roller elements of the carrier arrangement preferably those roller elements which are fixed in the direction of their axis of rotation, has a larger radius than the other roller elements of the carrier arrangement.
  • the second transport device e.g. as an endlessly circulating drive chain, which bears against the underside of the roller elements with a larger radius, only the roller elements with the larger radius.
  • the displaceable roller elements of the support assembly are then easily adjustable even with ongoing transport of sawing material.
  • successive pressing elements are preferably provided on both longitudinal sides of the transport path along the feed direction, which are brought into contact with the transported shegegut such that they exert from both longitudinal sides of the transport path ago a directed transversely to the feed direction compressive force on the transported sawing material to this Center the sawing material on the transport path.
  • These pressing elements may for example be designed as rollers which are rotatable about axes of rotation orthogonal to the feed direction.
  • the pressing elements are displaceable in the transverse direction to the feed direction, and preferably are mounted pivotable about substantially parallel and / or orthogonal to the feed direction axes. Then, the sawing material entering the side-goods separating device can first be held together by the pressing elements, so that the side goods, even if they are is no longer supported by the carrier assembly is still held by the contact pressure on the main product. If one then loosens the contact pressure generated by the pressing elements for a short time, the side goods now no longer held fall downwards.
  • two opposing each other over the transport path pressing elements may be coupled by a common adjusting device such that by pressing both pressing elements are deflected symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the transport path. Then, the side fabric can be deposited on both sides of the transport path by a single operation.
  • a particular advantage of the sideways separation device according to the invention is the fact that because of the exclusive use of roller elements for transporting and guiding the sawed material, enormous transport speeds can be achieved.
  • the side-ware deposition device according to the invention may further comprise, at its output, a turning device for rotating the woods about an axis substantially parallel to its longitudinal axis.
  • this rotating device is structurally integrated into the side-goods deposition device, so that the system has fewer components as a whole.

  • a further guide unit 18 then feeds the sawing material 12 to a profiling milling unit 20, which mills off the tree edges of the boards of the side goods of the sawed product 12 by means of milling cutters.
  • Another guide unit 22 feeds the profiled sawing material to a first sawing unit 24, in which the side goods located on the two lateral edge sections of the sawing stock 12 are separated from the main product located centrally along the feed axis. Since the side fabric is usually made with a length up to 6.5 m, while the main product 16 is produced with a length of the order of more than 14 m, the feed direction V is provided on the saw unit 24 following a saw unit 26 for cutting the side goods ,
  • Another pull-out or guide unit 28 conveys the sawing material 16 further to a side goods separation device 30, in which only the main product along the transport path 32 of the Sgeguts 12 is guided in the feed direction V, whereas the side goods gravitational fall down out of the transport path and can be transported separately from the main product (indicated in Fig. 1 by the obliquely downward arrow 34).
  • the main product is finally transported to a further saw unit 38A, 38B, which is designed as a double saw unit in FIG.
  • This saw unit is used to divide the main product into individual boards.
  • the saw unit 38A, 38B is followed by another guide unit 40, which continues the boards to a horizontal saw unit 42 which, in contrast to the preceding saw units, introduces horizontal cuts on the saw material.
