Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for machining wood components or the like, specifically components for door and window frames.
  • machines of the type comprising an elongated base provided with two longitudinal guiding members, a plurality of crosspieces slidingly coupled to the longitudinal guiding members, at least one clamping vice mounted to each crosspiece for blocking the components to be machined, a crane movable along the base in a first direction, and an operating head movable along the crane in a second direction transversal to the first direction.
  • the crane is generally provided with a gripping and conveying assembly movable along the crane in the second direction and adapted to transfer the components to be machined and the newly machined components between the corresponding clamping vices and a feeding device for the components themselves.
  • EP 1 992 464 A is state of the art under Art. 54(3) EPC.
  • the feeding device comprises a single belt conveyor, which extends in the second direction, and is motorized to intermittently feed the components to be machined from a loading station, at which the operator loads the components to be machined in sequence onto the belt conveyor, to a transfer station, where the gripping and conveying assembly picks the components to be machined from the belt conveyor and transfers them to the corresponding clamping vices.
  • the newly machined components are released by the gripping and conveying assembly at the loading station, which is cleared each time by feeding the components to be machined.
  • the feeding device comprises two reciprocally overlapping belt conveyors, one of which is used to transfer the components to be machined to the gripping and conveying assembly, and the other is used to receive the newly machined components from the gripping and conveying assembly itself.
  • the feeding device comprises two belt conveyors either reciprocally aligned in the second direction or arranged on opposite sides of the base in the first direction, one of which is used to transfer the components to be machined to the gripping and conveying assembly, and the other is used to receive the newly machined components from the gripping and conveying assembly itself.
  • the mentioned feeding devices should be relatively small-sized to allow their use in modern systems for machining door and window frame components
  • the known machines of the above-described type have some drawbacks, mostly deriving from the feeding devices being not able to handle large quantities of components, provide a relatively low production autonomy of such machines and imply the constant presence of personnel for loading and unloading the components to and from the feeding devices, respectively.
  • the present invention further relates to a machine for machining wood components or the like, specifically components for door and window frames.
  • numeral 1 indicates as a whole a machine for machining wood components 2 or the like for door and window frames comprising an elongated base 3, which extends in a horizontal direction 4, is substantially U-shaped, and has two longitudinal guiding side members 5 which are substantially parallel to the direction 4 itself.

  • the crosspiece 39 is coupled in a known manner to the uprights 38 to perform rectilinear movements, along the uprights 38 themselves and under the bias of an actuating device (known and not shown) in the direction 14, and supports a plurality of motorized belt conveyors 40, which are parallel to one another and to the direction 9, are reciprocally coplanar, and each extending between two reciprocally adjacent respective belt conveyors 29.
  • Machine 1 is further provided with at least one feeding carriage 41, which is arranged, in use, in a working position facing the lifting device 37, has a length measured parallelly to the direction 4 which is substantially equal to a width of the feeding assembly 25 and lifting device 37 also measured parallelly to the direction 4, and comprises a frame 42 provided with feeding wheels 43, and a plurality of parallel, reciprocally overlapping horizontal resting planes P3.
  • Each plane P3 is defined by a plurality of reciprocally parallel belt conveyors 44, each of which extends in the direction 9, is mounted to the frame 42 to be arranged, when the carriage 41 is moved to its working position, between two reciprocally adjacent belt conveyors 40, and is looped about a pair of pulleys 45, one of which is fitted onto a supporting shaft 46, which is in common to the pulleys 45 of the other conveyors 44, and is idly mounted to the frame 42 to rotate about a longitudinal axis thereof parallel to the direction 4.
  • the shafts 46 are selectively and intermittently rotated about their longitudinal axes by means of an electric motor 47, which is mounted to a slide 48 movable along the uprights 38 in the direction 14, and has an outlet shaft 49 axially and pivotally mounted to be moved to and from an extracted connecting position of a shaft 46.
  • Each conveyor 44 is further provided with a plurality of pushing and conveying elements 50, which are uniformly distributed along the conveyor 44, and cooperate with corresponding elements 50 of the other conveyors 44 of the corresponding plane P3 to feed the corresponding components 2 in the direction 9.
