Description

The invention relates to a press for the production of workpieces from glued wood and / or material stacks with the preamble features of claim 1, as shown in US-A-4,776,919 known, and a corresponding method.

In the production of layer-glued components, several wooden or material lamellae are first glued, then stacked and pressed in suitable presses into stable carriers. From these layer stacks or binders, large structural components can be made with complex constructions because the binders can be made in almost any length and shape. Conventionally, the binders are made of wood or wood-based materials, but there are also mixed constructions with introduced between the wood shares other materials, such as metal or fiber composites, feasible. If the binders are made of glued laminated timber, then pre-sorted and liberated woods are used. By connecting the wood to glued laminated timber elements, based on identical cross-sections, a load-bearing capacity of up to 80 percent can be achieved compared to solid wood. In comparison to solid wood, larger cross-sections and the production of curved beams are also possible. Compared to steel and prestressed concrete constructions, the glued laminated timber elements offer advantages in terms of weight and chemical resistance at a similar price in terms of carrying capacity. For the production of glued laminated timber elements, the lumbers or lamellae are first subjected to a quality sorting and package formation. Optionally, a Kellverzinkung the lamellae in order to realize larger span widths of the finished glued laminated elements. The individual slats are then glued, stacked, inserted into a special press and pressed. After the glue has set, the glued laminated timber element (glulam, binder) is removed from the press and the final planing, packaging and removal of the finished binder is carried out.

The processing time and curing time of the glue used in each case determines the timing of the production of the laminated beams. The adhesives used are usually condensation resins such as, for example, melamine or resorcinol resins, but also mono- or multicomponent, moisture-crosslinking polyurethane or emulsion polymer isocyanate adhesives. The liquid adhesives cure under the influence of material and humidity and / or ambient and material temperature to a high-strength, water-resistant and permanent adhesive joint. Special importance comes from the Processing time or so-called "open time" of the adhesive, which is in conventional adhesives between 20 minutes and two hours. During this period, stacking and alignment of the slats, the introduction of the stacks in the press and the pressurization (usually 0.5 to 0.8 N / mm ² ) of the stack possible. Immediately after the processing time, the curing time follows, which is between one and seven hours. During this time, the laminated beam must remain in the press in the pressurized state (with the above pressure values) so that the splices meet the initial strength requirements after the completion of the curing time. The ultimate strength is usually reached only after several hours to days, with a whereabouts of the workpieces in the press is no longer mandatory. By using one-component adhesives, the set-up times are already significantly shortened and, in addition, mis-gluing due to mixing and metering errors is ruled out. In addition, modern adhesives require no temperature addition and thus enable economical production processes.

However, adhesives with processing times of two to five minutes and curing times between eight and 15 minutes are offered, which further shorten the cycle times during the production of the glued laminated timber elements. Accompanied by the shorter processing times, however, an accelerated formation of the lamella stacks and the speedier loading of the presses.

To meet the requirements of modern glues and to achieve the shortest possible cycle times, for example, suggests EP 1 762 353 A before, the lamella stacks form only in the press. For this purpose, the glued lamellae are individually introduced into the press room via a conveyor and pressed together after complete filling. Likewise a single boardwise loading of the press beats the US 4,776,919 A in front. Here, the individual slats are injected from the front side of the press individually into the press room, this then closed and pressurized the lamella stack.

On the aforementioned devices is to be regarded as disadvantageous that the lamella stack to be pressed is formed only in the press. This means, on the one hand, that the press room must first be emptied completely before it can be started with a new loading of the press; on the other hand, the final alignment of the lamella stacks can also be done only in the press. However, this requires the arrangement of corresponding alignment elements in the press room. The use of part of the curing time of the glue binder in the press to prepare the subsequent lamella stack outside the press is also not possible beyond. In the production of the elements, there is thus an extension of the cycle times with long unproductive phases. These unproductive phases can only be avoided by providing at least one additional press which is charged during the curing time. This, however, has the disadvantage that the arrangement of a second press is associated with not inconsiderable costs and increased logistical effort in loading or unloading the press.

The object of the present invention is therefore already to use the curing time of located in a press, formed from glued wood and / or material stacks workpieces of different lengths for preparing and aligning the subsequently to be pressed wood and / or material stacks, at the same time with the Introducing a wood and / or material stack, the emptying of the press can be carried out so as to realize a significant reduction of the cycle times and to achieve by optimized utilization of the press fast and cost-effective production of the workpieces.

This object is achieved by a press according to claim 1 and an associated method. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The press according to the invention has a press room for the production of workpieces from glued wood and / or material stacks, in particular for the production of laminated beams, by pressurization. The material stacks consist, for example, of different lengths, if necessary, of finger-spliced wooden lamellae, preferably of quality needlewoods. In addition, stacks of bondable materials, such as fiber composites or wood materials, or mixed stacks of wood or wood slats and inserted intermediate layers of other materials are conceivable that require a compression after the application of the adhesive. The corresponding pressurization takes place in dependence on the specifications of the adhesive used in each case, with which the surfaces of the constituents of the wood and / or material stacks used were wetted. Depending on the curing time of the adhesive, the pressure, ie the press closing time, between a few minutes and several hours. The presses used can have in the longitudinal direction either horizontally or vertically aligned press rooms for horizontal or vertical pressing of the wood and / or material stack. It is also possible to use presses with inclined press chambers, sheet presses or so-called star or rotary presses with a plurality of arranged on a rotatably mounted cylinder presses. Preference is given to a specific pressing pressure of 1.5 to 3.3 N / mm ² method, ie compared to previously recommended pressing pressures used about twice as high pressing pressure, as a result, the adhesive penetrates very well into the wood surface ("penetrated") surprisingly the total order quantity could be reduced very much. In addition, in this method for bonding solid wood slats with specific pressing pressures of more than 1.5 N / mm ^2, a further considerable shortening of press time could be achieved.

In the case of the press according to the invention, a feed device for glued wood or wood material stacks is arranged in front of the press room on one end face, and an outfeed device for the pressed workpieces is arranged on the opposite end face. The feeder ensures that a rapid loading of the system, ie in particular of the press room, takes place. The press used is on a front side facing the feeder loading and unloaded at the rear end side facing away from it by the arranged there expander. The workpiece can thus be transported through the press from a feed to an expander.

The feeding and Ausführvorrichtung are thereby actuated simultaneously, in the course of the feed, ie the introduction or introduction of a prepared and glued wood or material stack in the press room, at the same time the discharge or removal of the formed from the previous stack of wood or material and now finished pressed workpiece from the press. For this purpose, if necessary, the feeding device has a pushing element which pushes the glue beam out of the press space, while at the same time the wood or material stack to be subsequently pressed is conveyed into the press space. The push element can be designed, for example, as a driver installed on a belt conveyor. In a simpler device and the imported wood or material stack can be used to promote the finished workpiece by attack on the wood or material stack facing end face of the press. The upstream of the respective press or the press room feeder additionally has at least one driven roller for conveying the aligned wood or material stack in the press room. The delivery device may also have one or more driven rollers, in which case a drive is not absolutely necessary.

For the transport of the aligned wood or material stack in the press room, the arrangement of at least two, better preferably three or four rollers is preferable. The rollers are preferably applied to the lateral surfaces of the workpiece and allow the uniform and easily manageable transport of the wood or material stack in the press. Furthermore, it is considered favorable if the wood or material stack can be pressurized via the rollers and an alignment thus takes place via the roller surfaces resting on the surfaces of the wood or material stack. The roller preferably has an independent drive, for example an electric motor, and thus realizes the optimum advance of the wood or material stack into the press room. If several rollers are used, it is conceivable that each of the rollers has its own drive or roller pairs are combined drive technology. The feed rate is thereby v.a. determined by the shape or the orientation requirement of the wood or material stack. However, the roller drive can also be coupled with the drive of a preferably the feeder upstream conveyor system, such as a belt or roller conveyor, and synchronized with this, so as to ensure the uniform movement of the wood or material stack. If the finished, pressed-out workpiece located there is conveyed out of the press room via the introduction of the wood or material stack into the press room, the power of the roller drive is designed correspondingly to this maximum load.

The roll is preferably arranged in and / or on a frame element, via which alignment of the wood or material stacks can be carried out. If the roll or, if several rolls are used, the rolls are integrated in the frame element, the flush alignment of the components of the wood or material stack takes place via the rolls. If the rollers are arranged downstream of the frame element, then the stack of wood or material is first aligned by the frame element and then further conveyance of the stack by the roller (s) is carried out. The rollers are stored in or on special brackets on the frame member; the spacing of the rollers for wood or material stack can then be done for example via a displacement of the frame parts or only the brackets. An orientation of the stack of wood can also take place in that the rollers disposed in front of the frame element grasp the wood or material stack and convey through the rigid frame, wherein the stack is aligned flush.

To use the feeder with differently oriented press types, such as prone or vertical presses but also with rotary presses or presses with inclined press spaces, the feed device is preferably formed tiltable about the press longitudinal axis.

Another embodiment of the press according to the invention which is considered particularly advantageous provides that the frame element is rotatable about the press longitudinal axis. Thus, the glued and aligned wood or material stack, which is clamped in the frame member, can be adapted to the orientation of the press room before being introduced into the press, without requiring a tilting or pivoting of the feeder. In addition, the simultaneous alignment and pivoting of the stack is possible by the rotatable frame member.

Advantageously, the wood and / or material stacks are pressurized via the frame element. Thus, the flush alignment of the stack is accomplished by the frame member being applied to the stacking surfaces and aligning them in a major axis. In this case, a leg of the frame can be set as a counterhold for the stack and the stack can be pressurized by a movable leg arranged opposite this. In addition, the arrangement of hydraulically or pneumatically actuable pressure elements in the frame is conceivable.

Preferably, the press on a frame member which is formed as a rectangular frame or in the manner of a gate or portal with at least two movable legs. By this embodiment of the frame, the feeder can be used flexibly on different presses and expanded or narrowed depending on the dimensions of the material stack to be aligned in each case. By a frame member with movable legs, it is also possible to align the wood or material stacks for curved or curved workpieces, since the movable legs can be applied to adapt to the shape of the workpiece to this. In this context, it is considered to be particularly favorable if the limbs are arranged so as to be displaceable relative to each other as a function of the cross section of the workpiece and the displacement is preferably manually or automatically adjustable. The automatic adjustment of the shift can take place from a control station by the operator of the system. When using a fully automatic production line, however, the corresponding previously stored data for the (daily) production can be used for setting the shift, so as to ensure a smooth flow of the entire production process.

In order to be able to carry out a continuous control of the production and at the same time to be able to produce a complete documentation of the products produced or a proof during the course of a certification process, it is considered particularly recommendable if the feeding device has detection means for the parameters of the wood or material stack.

The detection means may comprise, for example, a displacement sensor for receiving the dimensions of the conveyed into the press room material stack. In addition, the annual ring position of the slats and the quality of the visible surface can be detected, for example, by optical scanning, in order to provide information for downstream Ausflickstationen here already. Another measuring element determines the important parameter for the curing time wood and ambient moisture as well as temperature of the material stack, in order to determine the optimal pressing time based on these values. In order to evaluate the data obtained optimally and integrated into the production cycle without time delays, the press according to the invention preferably has a memory and / or evaluation unit for the determined parameters, which is connected directly to the control station of the system and either outputs information to the operator or the system automatically controls or adapts to the determined parameters.

In order to achieve an even better flush alignment of the wood or material stack components and to ensure a stable and manageable as possible conveyance of the material stack in the press room, the feeder conveniently one or more roles, which is designed as a twin roll (s) are (are ). The role (s) is (are) preferably applied to the wood or material stacks, and act on the wood or material stacks. To promote the wood or material stacks, the rolls designed as twin rolls may also have an independent drive.

The currently available laminated beams may have spans of more than 20 meters. In order to guide the required wood or material stacks without a change in orientation over the correspondingly long press room section, a particularly preferred embodiment of the press according to the invention has at least one further feeding device in the press room. If necessary, readjustment of the wood or material stacks introduced into the press prior to pressurization can also take place via this feed device.

It is considered to be recommendable if the feeding device upstream of the press room is arranged at a distance from the press room. Thus, the feeding device is an independent of the press room element of the press assembly and can, especially when using mobile Zuführwagen, especially simple and without disassembly effort, for example, made available for other presses. As a result, further flexibility in production processes and optimal use of tools can be achieved.

As favorable in connection with the above-described press, a press is considered, which has a press room segmented in the longitudinal direction, wherein the segments have centrally arranged pressure elements for acting on the wood or material stacks. The feeder immediately downstream segment has a plurality of printing elements. Conventional presses usually have only one pressure element per segment. In order to be able to ensure a stable position of the wood or material stack to be pressed during the pressing process, at least half of the pressure surface of the pressure element must rest on the surface of the wood or material stacking surface to be acted upon by the respective pressure element. If this is not the case, there is an uneven loading and irregular shaping of the finished workpiece.

Due to this fact can be produced with conventional presses only workpieces whose length is a multiple of half the segment length and the bearing surface of the printing element. Does the first, the feeder immediately downstream segment of the press room on a plurality of printing elements, then a correspondingly divided support surface on the longitudinal surface of the wood or material stack is achieved by this arrangement. The pressurization can thus be variable, in particular with the above-mentioned specific pressure values of more than 1.5 N / mm ² for improved penetration into the wood surface. Any intermediate lengths of the wood or material stack can thus be pressed with this press, and thus, for example, design specifications already be made in the manufacture of laminated beams, without having to carry out elaborate reworking or adaptation of the workpiece length or conversions on the presses.

It is considered particularly favorable if the press additionally has at least two pressure elements on the segment which directly precedes the delivery device. Due to this additional segment division with several printing elements, the length variability of the wood or material stacks to be pressed can additionally be extended.

Regardless of the number of printing elements per segment, they always have the same printing performance, so there is no need to worry about the stability of the finished workpieces due to uneven pressure.

In order to achieve optimum pressurization, in particular in the range between 1.5 to 3.3 N / mm ² with the shortest possible positioning paths, the press preferably has pressure elements which are designed as pneumatically or hydraulically actuable pressure cylinders or spindle drives.

Preferably, the pressure elements have pressure shoes, which are placed on the wood or material stack. Due to the pressure shoes increased contact surface better pressure distribution on the longitudinal surfaces of the wood or material stack is achieved and minimizes the deformation of the support surface.

In order to carry out the batch compression of shorter wood or material stack, it is considered to be recommended if the press room has further, preferably centrally arranged in the press room segments with a plurality of printing elements.

Fig. 1 shows the press 10 has a press room 11 and this upstream via a feeder 30, in addition to suitable conveyor elements 40 and a rectangular frame 31 for aligning the glued wood lamella stacks 21st having. The bottom side arranged on the feeder 30 conveying elements 40 are in the embodiment of Fig. 1 formed as a roller conveyor 41 and convey the transfer of the wood lamella stack 21 from the upstream Beleimungsstation (not shown) to the feeder 30 and further through the frame 31 in the press room 11. The roller conveyor 41 has a plurality of rollers arranged in series 29 and is in the embodiment firmly connected to the bottom 12 of the press room 11. Within the press room 11, the roller conveyor 41 are arranged on both sides associated saddles 18, which absorb the underside of the imported into the press room 11 wood lamella stack 21 counter-pressure plate 13 upon application of the wood lamella stack 21 and relieve the roller conveyor 41 during the pressing process. The saddles 18 are movably mounted and can be adapted to the width of the inserted wood lamella stack 21 and the counter-pressure plate 13 used.

The introduced into the press room 11 wood lamella stack 21 is pressurized on the upper side via a pressure plate 15 by the hydraulic actuated lifting cylinder 16 of the press 10. The lifting cylinder 16 is fixedly arranged in the press room 11. The pistons 14 are variable in length and can be adapted to different heights of imported wooden lamella stacks 21. To further shorten the distance between the piston 14 and wooden lamella stack 21, for example, in the manufacture of low laminated beams 20, designed as an I or double T-beam rail 19 between the piston 14 and pressure plate 15 can be attached. In addition, it is also conceivable that the upper transverse struts 17 of the press room 11, on which the lifting cylinders 16 are arranged, are designed as adjustable yokes, which can be displaced depending on the height of the wood lamella stacks 21 to be pressed. For this purpose, for example, be arranged in or on the feeder 30 downstream longitudinal struts 45 of the press room 11 correspondingly spaced recesses with which the matching holding elements are brought to the cross member 17 into engagement.

In the exemplary embodiment, the feed device 30 has two legs 23, which are arranged perpendicular to the press room 11 and which are applied to the longitudinal sides 24 of the wood lamella stack 21. About the legs 23, the flush alignment of the lamellae of the wood lamella stack 21 is performed. The legs 23 are pivotally mounted and have at both ends 25 via corresponding lever 26 for the parallelogram pivoting.

In the region of the lifting cylinder 16, the press 10 has an actuator 28 for pivoting the legs 23. This acts on the arranged on discs 34 lever 26 on the legs 23 and presses them to the wood lamella stack 21. Since only one actuator 28 is provided for the pivoting, the feeding device 30 has the Fig. 1 for synchronous pivoting of both legs 23 via chains 27 (in Fig. 1 only shown in sections), which connect the right and left side of the press room 11 arranged legs 23. The chains 27 are guided over the discs 26 associated with the levers 26. By shortening the actuator 28, a pivoting of the actuator 28 connected to the lever 26, which takes place at the in Fig. 1 left disc 34 is arranged as a crank. With the pivoting of the lever 26, there is a circular movement of the disc 34, connected to the tensile loading of the attached to the disc 34 chains 27. It takes place by the synchronous pivoting of the opposite legs 23 to the concerns of both legs 23 on the side surfaces of the wood lamella stack 21. By further shortening of the actuator 28, the further loading of the wood lamella stack 21 and thus its flush alignment can be performed. To adjust the legs 23, the chains 27 have adjusting screws 22, over which the length of the chains 27 and thus the spacing of the legs 23 is adjustable. For applying and applying the legs 23 is of course also the use of each arranged on the legs 23, independently or coupled driven toggle mechanisms, linear drives o. The like. Conceivable.

Fig. 2 shows a roller element 32, which instead of the in Fig.1 described leg 23 can be used on both sides in the feeder 30. The roller element 32 has in the embodiment of Fig. 2 four rollers 37 arranged on a central, driven axle 33. These are applied to the feeder 30 continuous wood lamellae stack 21 and perform an alignment of the wood lamella stack 21 by. By the drive of the roller element 32 takes place simultaneously with the orientation of the wood lamella stack 21 whose transfer into the press room 11. To prevent slippage of the rollers 37 on the longitudinal sides 24 of the wood lamella stack 21, these have an elastic, friction-increasing coating 35, which is the wood surface not damaged. The drive of the axle 33 takes place by the connection of suitable drive elements on in Fig. 2 upper end 42, corresponding to the end 25 in Fig. 1 , The pin 43 at the lower end 44 is in corresponding bushings (not shown) the feeding device 30 used. Depending on the height of the wooden lamella stack 21 to be pressed, rollers 27 can be removed or added from the axis. A removal takes place after loosening of the two countersunk in the roller 27 arranged clamping screws 38th

In addition to an arrangement of the roller element 32 instead of legs 23 and an arrangement in addition to the legs 23 is possible. The roller elements 32 can be attached to the two side surfaces 36 of the feeder 30 before or after the legs 23. The application to the longitudinal sides 24 of the wooden lamella stack 21 is then synchronized with the pivoting of the legs 23rd

Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the press 10 according to the invention in side view. The press room 11 is in the embodiment of Fig. 3 mounted on stands 54 and divided into a total of four segments 46a, b, c, d, which are each bounded by longitudinal struts 45. The two middle segments 46b, c have centrally arranged lifting cylinders 16, which act on the conveyed into the press room 11 wood lamella stacks 21. The lifting cylinders 16 have at their the wood lamella stack 21 facing ends 47 pressure shoes 48, which cause a more effective and uniform pressurization of the wood lamella stack 21.

In the Fig. 3 shown presser 10 has on its left in the representation of the front side 49a via an upstream feed device 30. The feeder 30 has, like the press room 11, a circulating conveyor belt 52a, b for conveying the wood lamella stack 21 in or through the press room 11. On the opposite end face 49b of the press room 11, an expander 50 is arranged, which also has a conveyor belt 52c, via which the removal of the finished pressed wood slat stack 21 is accomplished. The conveyor belts 52a, b, c of the three components (feeder 30, press room 11 and feeder 50) of the Fig. 3 shown press 10 can be synchronized so as to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted transport of the prepared or compressed wood lamella stacks 21 by the press 10. The conveyor belt 52b in the press room 11 has in the exemplary embodiment additionally driver 53, which support the positioning of the wood lamella stack 21 and the emptying of the press room 11 in the manner of a push element.

The delivery device 30 immediately downstream segment 46a has in the embodiment of Fig. 3 arranged over five arranged in the longitudinal axis of the press room 11 lifting cylinder 16 with respect to the lifting cylinders 16 of the centrally arranged Segments 46b, c reduced pressure shoes 48. The in Fig. 3 introduced into the press room 11 wood lamella stack 21 occupies only a portion of the press room 11 a. In order nevertheless to ensure a stable position of the wooden lamella stack 21 during the pressing process, at least half of the surface of the pressure shoe 48 should rest against the surface 51 of the wood lamella stack 21 to be loaded. Since the first, the feeder 30 immediately downstream segment 46a of the press room 11 has five lifting cylinder 16 with pressure shoes 48, can be ensured at freely selectable length of preferably with more than 1.5 to 3.3 N / mm ² compressed wood lamella stack 21 that always at least half of the surface of one of the pressure shoes 48 of the lifting cylinder 16 in the first segment 46a of the press room 11 abuts the surface 51 of the lamination stack 21. With the press 10 shown in the embodiment thus arbitrary intermediate lengths of the wood lamella stacks 21 can be pressed without having to make structural changes to the press room 11. In the Fig. 3 shown press 10 has in addition to the aforementioned five lifting cylinders 16 in the embodiment of the 50 directly upstream segment 46 d two lifting cylinders 16. As a result of this additional subdivision of the last segment 46d by two lifting cylinders 16 with pressure shoes 48 arranged thereon, the length variability of the wood lamella stacks 21 pressed together with the press shown is further expanded.
