Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a feeder of stringers for machines for manufacturing covers of pallets made of wood or the like, with highly versatile use, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a feeder is known from US 6058601 A1 .
  • wood pallets are generally constituted by a loading surface, usually termed "cover", which is constituted by two layers of stringers arranged side by side and superimposed so that the stringers of one layer are parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the stringers of the other layer and by feet or blocks, which are fixed below the cover so as to keep it raised with respect to the resting surface.
  • cover usually constituted by two layers of stringers arranged side by side and superimposed so that the stringers of one layer are parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the stringers of the other layer and by feet or blocks, which are fixed below the cover so as to keep it raised with respect to the resting surface.
  • cover usually Usually three rows of blocks are provided and each one of the three rows is generally composed of three blocks, which are mutually spaced so that the pallet can be "straddled” by lifting devices on any of its four sides.
  • the cover has a rectangular plan shape and the plugs of the three rows are mutually connected not only by the cover but also by three stringers which are arranged parallel
  • Wood pallets are assembled on nailing machines, which are fed with the cover, manufactured on another machine, and with the three rows of blocks.
  • Machines for manufacturing pallet covers are substantially composed of a feeder of stringers and a nailing station and perform nailing of the stringers of the upper layer to the stringers of the lower layer.
  • the stringers are fed to the nailing station and mutually positioned by the feeder, which moves them along an advancement orientation.
  • Such machines are divided in two types according to the orientation of the stringers of the upper layer with respect to the advancement orientation: a first type, in which the stringers of the upper layer are oriented parallel to the advancement orientation, and a second type, in which the stringers of the upper layer are oriented transversely to the advancement orientation.
  • the first type of machine has a high productivity, since in order to perform the assembly of a cover it requires a number of nailing strokes equal to the number of the stringers of the lower layer, generally equal to three and in any case lower than the number of stringers that compose the upper layer.
  • this type of machine suffers the drawback of requiring long times when there are changes in production, i.e., when it is required to vary the type of cover to be manufactured, because it is necessary to modify the position of the nailing heads according to the variation in position of the upper layer stringers, which are more numerous than the stringers of the lower layer.
  • the second type of machine has a lower production capacity but is more flexible, since it requires shorter times at production changes.
  • this type of machine in order to change the type of cover being manufactured, if the lower layer is composed, as usually occurs, of three stringers arranged parallel to the advancement orientation, it is sufficient to vary the position of the outer nailing heads, which work proximate to the ends of the stringers of the upper layer.
  • a first type of feeder is provided with a double series of traction elements with independent controls. More particularly, this type of feeder comprises a first series of traction elements for moving the stringers of the lower layer, which are oriented parallel to the advancement orientation and are termed hereinafter “longitudinal stringers” for the sake of simplicity, and a second series of traction elements for moving the upper layer stringers, which are oriented transversely to the advancement orientation and are termed hereinafter “transverse stringers” for the sake of simplicity.
  • the traction elements of the second series of traction elements are arranged at mutually fixed distances along the respective chains and move each individual stringer up to the nailing station.
  • a second type of feeders is composed of traction elements for moving the longitudinal stringers and a pusher with rack-type actuation for moving the transverse stringers.
  • Such feeders are provided with two magazines of transverse stringers from which, in each instance, a transverse stringer is extracted and arranged in a position suitable for it to be taken by the rack-type pusher.
  • Such feeders have the advantage of allowing the manufacture of covers of small size, because the magazines and the rack-type pusher do not limit the possibility to move mutually closer the guides along which the longitudinal stringers are pulled, but suffer the drawback that they can provide only two types of transverse stringer: one for each one of the two magazines.
  • a third type of feeder is composed of chain-type traction elements for the longitudinal stringers and chain-type traction elements for the transverse stringers with three magazines for the transverse stringers.
  • the transverse stringers are fed, from the corresponding magazines, to the chain-type traction elements, which, after a first advancement portion, abandon the stringers, which are pushed into the nailing station by means of pushers arranged between the guides along which the longitudinal stringers are moved.
  • Such feeders suffer the drawback of not being able to manufacture pallet covers of small size (with a side smaller than 800 mm) because the pushers limit the possibility to move mutually closer the guides of the longitudinal stringers.
  • US-A-6058601 discloses an appratus for automatic assembly of fence panels from a plurality of longitudinal backing rails and a plurality of transverse pickets, comprising a conveyor for supporting and moving the rails in a direction along their length with the rails at spaced transversely positions across the conveyor and a plurality of rail dispensing hoppers, each for receiving a stack of the backing rails and arranged to dispense the rails one at a time onto the conveyor in parallel spaced relation along the conveyor.
  • a picket dispensing hopper dispenses pickets one at a time onto the aligned rails so that the pickets are positioned at right angles to the rails and side by side, with ends of the pickets being aligned on the rails.
  • the pickets are compressed in a direction at right angles to the rails onto the rails and parallel to the rails and at right angles to the pickets so as to squeeze the pickets edge to edge, and a nailing assembly applies nails to connect the pickets to the rails.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems, by providing a feeder of stringers for machines for manufacturing covers of pallets made of wood or the like, that enables to manufacture practically all the types of pallet covers currently in use and enables to switch rapidly from the manufacturing of one type of pallet to another type in a completely automated manner.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a stringer feeder that enables to manufacture, without problems, pallet covers with small dimensions, i.e., with a side of less than 800 mm.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a feeder that can provide at least three types of stringer though having a modest space occupation along the advancement orientation of the stringers.
  • the feeder according to the invention comprises, in a per se known manner, guiding and advancement means 2, which define a first resting surface 3, which is preferably substantially horizontal, for longitudinal stringers 4, which are arranged mutually side by side and parallel to an advancement orientation, indicated by the arrow 5.
  • the guiding and advancement means 2 comprise preferably, in a per se known manner, channels 6, which are arranged on a horizontal plane, are open upward and are oriented parallel to the advancement orientation 5.
  • the longitudinal stringers 4 are arranged in the channels 6 and are made to advance inside the channels 6 along the advancement orientation 5, by means of first conveyors with chain-type traction elements 7 or other movement means of a known type, to a mating station 8.
