Description
- The present invention relates to a compound chop sawing machine for cutting a workpiece into section members, bars and the like.
- Known on the market are chop sawing machines and in particular compound chop sawing machines, i.e. machines having two different work tables, an upper and a lower work table respectively, for carrying out cutting of section members, bars, wood laths for skirting boards and other artefacts.
- One such compound chop sawing machine having the precharacterising features of
claim 1 is disclosed by patent publication no.EP 1,930,139 . - These types of machines are generally used in situ, e.g. in building yards for cutting off the above mentioned artefacts.
- These machines comprise a work head that is movable relative to the lower work table and manually operable by handle members; the work head is provided with a cutting member, generally a powered rotary blade, for carrying out chopping and/or squaring operations on the pieces resting on the lower work table.
- In particular, the work head is pivotally associated with the lower work table relative to at least one rotation axis substantially parallel to the plane defined by the lower work table.
- The upper region of the work head is substantially planar to define the upper work table which is provided with a slot from which the upper portion of the cutting member emerges for cutting the pieces positioned on said upper work table and rigidly fastened thereto by means of abutment elements and screw threaded fastener means.
- In these types of machines classified as dangerous based on safety regulations in force, guard members for the exposed portion of the cutting member must be present, which cutting member is to be inaccessible during both the use steps and the inactive steps of the machine, and manual removal of which must be inhibited.
- Known guard members, generally used in accordance with the provisions of the law in these types of machines, consist of a barrier element rigidly associated with the lower region of the work head, at the lower portion of the cutting member.
- In addition, guard devices for protecting the exposed portion of the cutting member are known which consist of one or more casings fitted on a blade portion and hinged on the work head so as to follow the forward movement of the cut by insertion into a seat of the work head in a concealable manner and to determine the maximum practicable cut depth.
- In addition, these guard devices contemplate the presence of temporary locking means to lock the casing position in a configuration for protection of the exposed blade portion, which locking means can be manually activated by the operator.
- At all events, these machines of known type are not devoid of drawbacks, among which it is to be mentioned that fact that this fixed barrier element constitutes a great hindrance to the normal cutting operations, when pieces of an irregular conformation are to be cut, for example.
- In addition, the barrier element constitutes a limit to the work head's stroke relative to the lower work table and, therefore, to the amplitude of the active portion of the cutting member itself, above all in those configurations in which the cutting member is inclined to the lower work table.
- Thus these operating limits make it so difficult to carry out the cutting operations that the operator is sometimes obliged to tamper with the machine itself and remove the barrier elements, which will make the guard fully inefficient and, as a result, will impair the machine safety.
- Another drawback that can be encountered in the known guard elements of the type involving a casing fitted on the cutting blade is to be ascribed to the fact that they can be easily tampered with, above all in the inactive configuration of the work head, by carrying out a simple rotation of the casing against the action of return spring means, so that the protective effect becomes unsuccessful. Moreover, in order to prevent said tampering actions, suitable expedients of manual activation of the locking means are required.
- It is a main task of the present invention to eliminate the above mentioned drawbacks of the known art by envisaging a chop sawing machine that first of all enables execution of the cutting, chopping and squaring operations in a fully safe manner for the operator.
- Within the scope of this technical task it is an important aim of the invention to ensure a good cut efficiency, by enabling wide sectors of the active portion of the cutting member to contact the workpieces, irrespective of the angle of inclination of the cutting member to the lower work table and of the shape of the workpiece.
- It is a further aim of the invention to obtain a compound chop sawing machine simultaneously offering quickness and good efficiency in cutting and a high degree of protection for the operator.
- Another aim of the invention is to make available a simple structure, to be put into practice in a relatively easy manner, of safe use and efficient operation, as well as of relatively reduced cost.
- The main task mentioned and the aims specified are substantially achieved by the present compound chop sawing machine in accordance with
claim 1. - Further features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a compound chop sawing machine illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Fig. 1 is an elevation side view of the chop sawing machine in accordance with the invention, with the work head in an upper end-of-stroke configuration; -
Fig. 2 is an elevation side view of the chop sawing machine of the invention, with the work head in a lower end-of-stroke configuration; -
Fig. 3 is an elevation side view of the chop sawing machine seen inFig. 1 in a step of machining a workpiece; -
Fig. 4 is a partial sectional side view ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 5 is a partial sectional side view of an alternative embodiment of a chop sawing machine in accordance with the invention, with the work head in a lower end-of-stroke configuration; -
Fig. 6 is a view as inFig. 4 with the covering element in a blade-exposure configuration; -
Fig. 7 is a view as inFig. 5 with the covering element in a blade-covering configuration. - Referring particularly to the drawings, generally denoted at 1 is a compound chop sawing machine comprising a
base 2 defining at least one work table 3 for support of at least one workpiece P. - The work table 3 for example can be of the type rotating about a substantially vertical axis and can have means for temporarily clamping the workpiece, of the vice type or the like for example, not shown in detail as it is of known type.
- In addition, the
sawing machine 1 comprises at least onework head 4 associated withbase 2, which head is movable relative to the work table 3; for instance, the work head is pivotally associated withbase 2 for rotation relative to at least one axis substantially parallel to the work table 3 following a rotation R1 shown in the figure. - In particular, the
work head 4 is provided with acircular blade 5 having a region at least partly exposed relative to the work head and rotationally driven, by motor means 6 of a type known to a person skilled in the art, for cutting of the workpiece P. - The
work head 4, in the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, has an auxiliary work table 3' adjustably associated with the upper portion of the work head; the auxiliary work table is provided with a through slot, from which the upper portion ofblade 5 emerges for cutting of a further piece P. - In particular, as known to a person skilled in the art, adjustment concerns the distance between the auxiliary work table 3' and the hinging axis of the
blade 5 on thework head 4, so that the cut depth imparted to the further piece P by the upper portion ofblade 5 emerging from the auxiliary work table can be adjusted. - The
work head 4 is for instance pivotally associated withbase 2 relative to two distinct rotation axes, i.e. a first axis orthogonal to the lying plane ofblade 5 for moving the work head close to/away from the work table 3 following rotation R1, and a second axis parallel to said lying plane for inclination of thework head 4, and therefore the blade itself, to the work table 3, which rotation is identified by reference R2. - However, it is not to be excluded that the
work head 4 may simultaneously have translation movements relative to the work table 3 for carrying out particular cuts on the workpiece P. - The
sawing machine 1 comprises at least oneguard device 7 for at least one exposed portion ofblade 5 at itsactive portion 5a. - In particular, by exposed portion it is intended the lower arc of
blade 5 emerging from thework head 4 comprising theactive portion 5a for cutting the workpiece P. - The
guard device 7 is alternately movable between a retracted configuration inside thework head 4, so as to release theactive portion 5a ofblade 5 for engagement on the workpiece P and an extended configuration covering at least said exposed portion. - The
machine 1 comprises removable locking means to lock theguard device 7 in at least one of the retracted and extended configurations. - Particularly, to the aims of the present invention, the locking means is of the type involving automatic activation/deactivation.
- Specifically, the locking means can be automatically activated upon positioning of the
guard device 7 in a retracted and in an extended configuration. - On the contrary, the locking means can be automatically deactivated upon displacement of the
work head 4 from at least one upper end-of-stroke configuration to a lower end-of-stroke configuration, at which the work head is respectively fully moved away from the work table 3 and/or fully moved close thereto. - In particular, the locking means comprises removable interconnection means 8 interposed between at least two of the
work head 4,guard device 7 andbase 2. - The interconnection means 8 can be according to the invention advantageously automatically activated upon positioning of the
guard device 7 to the retracted and/or extended configuration or, alternatively, upon positioning of thework head 4 to the upper and/or lower end-of-stroke configuration. - The
guard device 7 in the particular embodiment shown in the figures comprises at least one first and one second circular sector, 9 and 10 respectively, which are pivotally associated with thework head 4 around respective rotation axes substantially parallel to the rotation axis ofblade 5. - The first and second circular sectors, 9 and 10, comprise at least one first and one
second plate blade 5 in the vicinity of the blade itself. - In turn, each
plate blade 5. - The first and second circular sectors, 9 and 10 respectively, are interconnected with each other by mutual-drive means and at least partly overlapped.
- The drive means comprises at least one
stud 13 protruding in a transverse direction from at least one of the first and second plates, 11 and 12 respectively, which through progressive opening of said plate, is progressively slidably guided within aguide 14 associated with the other of the first and second plates. - In particular, the
first plate 11 is pivotally associated with thework head 4 in coaxial relationship withblade 5 and comprises feeler means 15 following the profile of the workpiece P. - The feeler means 15 is associated with one end of the
first plate 11 facing the workpiece P for urging the first plate from the extended to the retracted configuration, against the action of spring means 16 and upon advancing of the cut on the workpiece P. - The feeler means 15 for instance comprises a roller rotatably associated with the end of the
first plate 11 facing the workpiece P and resting on said piece during the working step thereof. - The
second plate 12, in turn, is rotatably associated with thework head 4, with its rotation axis substantially parallel to and distinct from the rotation axis ofblade 5, as in the particular embodiment shown inFig. 5 , for example. - According to the invention the
second plate 12 is pivotally associated with thework head 4 coaxially with the blade itself, as shown inFig. 4 for example. - The interconnection means 8 comprises at least one
catch 17 to retain thefirst plate 11, which catch is associated with said plate and removably insertable into at least onehousing seat 18 associated with at least one of thebase 2 and thework head 4 in order to retain theguard device 7 in the retracted configuration. - In particular, the interconnection means 8 comprises at least one
tailpiece 19 associated withbase 2 in a rocking manner relative to an axis substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis ofblade 5. - The
housing seat 18 is advantageously made at thetailpiece 19. - In particular, the
tailpiece 19 is adapted to follow the inclination rotation R2 of thework head 4, but not the rotation R1 of same. - The
work head 4 is in fact pivotally associated with thetailpiece 19, which tailpiece co-operates with theguard device 7 for protection of at least one exposed portion ofblade 5 when the guard device is in its extended configuration or, in an equivalent manner, thework head 4 is in its upper end-of-stroke configuration. - In fact, the
tailpiece 19 is suitable for protection of the remaining portion ofblade 5 that is not covered by theguard device 7 when thework head 4 is in its upper end-of-stroke configuration, fully moved away from the work table. - The interconnection means 8 further comprises at least one
pin 20 associated with at least one of thework head 4 and theguard device 7. -
Pin 20 can be housed in at least onerecess 21 associated with the other of thework head 4 and theguard device 7 for retaining the guard device in said extended configuration. The interconnection means 8 comprises at least one interconnecting lever interposed between at least thefirst plate 11 and thework head 4. - In particular, the interconnection means 8 comprises a plurality of interconnecting levers and advantageously, a
first interconnecting lever 22a hinged on thework head 4, asecond interconnecting lever 22b hinged on the end of thefirst plate 11 distal from theperipheral edge 11a, and at least oneintermediate interconnecting lever 22c linked to the above levers and hinged on thework head 4 in the vicinity of its centre line. - Advantageously, the end of the
first plate 11 distal from theperipheral edge 11a is positioned on the side opposite to the peripheral edge relative to the rotation axis of the first plate. -
Pin 20 in the preferred embodiment is associated with theintermediate interconnecting lever 22c and is guided along at least one substantially L-shapedslot 23 and associated with thesecond interconnecting lever 22b. -
Recess 21 is made at an end ofslot 23 for lockingpin 20 when theguard device 7 is in the extended configuration. The spring means 16, consisting of a helical spring for example, are directly interposed between thefirst interconnecting lever 22a and theintermediate interconnecting lever 22c for return of the guard device from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration, insertion ofpin 20 intorecess 21 and, therefore, locking of theguard device 7. - In addition, catch 17 for retaining the
first plate 11, in the particular embodiment shown in the figures is rigidly associated with thesecond interconnecting lever 22b; due to rotation of thework head 4 from the upper end-of-stroke to the lower end-of-stroke configurations the retaining catch is fitted into thehousing seat 18 associated with thetailpiece 19 in a rigid and adjustable manner for locking theguard device 7 to the extended configuration. Moreover, the work head can comprise guard means 24 for the upper portion of the blade, of the type for example involving a casing pivotally associated with the auxiliary work table 3' and adapted to fit the upper portion ofblade 5 under non-use conditions of the latter. - Finally, in a preferred embodiment the
guard device 7 comprises at least one coveringelement 25 to cover the exposed portion ofblade 5 proximal to the hinging point of thework head 4 onbase 2. - The covering
element 25 is in particular suitable for protection of the remaining portion ofblade 5 that is not covered by the first and secondcircular sectors work head 4 is in its lower end-of-stroke configuration, fully approaching the work table itself. - In this
way blade 5, particularly under non use conditions of themachine 1 or during cutting operations carried out on the auxiliary table 3', appears to be fully protected both when thework head 4 is in the upper end-of-stoke configuration and when it is in the lower end-of-stroke configuration. - Advantageously, the covering
element 25 is alternately movable between a configuration for protection ofblade 5 when thework head 4 is positioned in the lower end-of-stroke configuration and a configuration at which the blade is exposed. - In particular, as shown in
Figs. 6 and7 , the coveringelement 25 is rotatably and/or slidably associated with thetailpiece 19 being provided with means for converting the rotary motion for moving thework head 4 close to/away from the work table 3 into a rotation/translation motion of the covering element itself for passage of the latter from the covering configuration to the exposing configuration and vice versa. - The converting means may for instance be of the cam-rocker arm type or consist of other technically equivalent means and is not shown in the drawings as it is known to a person skilled in the art.
- The
machine 1 particularly comprises a pair oftailpieces 19 and a pair of coveringelements 25 disposed on the opposite side relative toblade 5. - Operation of the present invention is as follows.
- When the
work head 4 is in the upper end-of-stroke configuration, the locking means of theguard device 7 is activated; in particular,pin 20 is fitted inrecess 21 and the first and second interconnecting levers 22a and 22b, as well as theintermediate interconnecting lever 22c are restrained from rotating by mutual jamming so that, as a result, any rotation of the first and second plates, 11 and 12 respectively, is prevented. - In this configuration in which the guard device is locked in the extended configuration, the operator can carry out the loading and clamping operations of the workpiece P on the work table 3 in a safe manner.
- Once the piece P is ready for being worked, through rotation of the
work head 4blade 5 is moved close to the workpiece. During thisfirst step blade 5 is protected by theguard device 7 that remains in the extended configuration by effect of the spring means 16. - As the
active portion 5a ofblade 5 comes into contact with the workpiece P, theguard device 7 progressively uncovers it, against the action of the spring means 16, during advancing of the cut due to the feeler means 15 resting on the piece itself while the so-called exposed portion of the blade is left in any case covered. - In the lower end-of-stroke configuration of the
work head 4 the retainingcatch 17 is inserted, due to rotation of the work head relative to thetailpiece 19, in thehousing seat 18 retaining thesecond interconnecting lever 22b and thefirst plate 11 therewith and preventing rotation of said lever. - Also in this
configuration blade 5 is inaccessible and protected, enabling the operator to carry out working operations in a fully safe manner. - During return from the lower end-of-stroke configuration to the upper end-of-stroke configuration,
blade 5 is progressively covered by the first andsecond plates - Practically, it has been ascertained that the invention achieves the intended purposes and in particular it is herein pointed out that the chop sawing machine of the invention allows the cutting, chopping and squaring operations to be carried out in a fully safe manner for the operator.
- In addition, it has been found that the above described chop sawing machine ensures a good cutting efficiency, enabling wide sectors of the active portion of the cutting member to come into contact with the workpieces, irrespective of the angle of inclination of the cutting member to the lower work table and of the shape of the workpiece. Moreover, the invention as conceived allows a compound chop sawing machine to be obtained which at the same time offers quickness in cutting, good cut efficiency and high protection degree for the operator, together with a simple structure of relatively easy practical achievement, safe use and efficient operation, and in addition a relatively reduced cost.
