U.S. patent 6,082,421 describes an assembly conveyor that is driven by a motor and move short blocks of wood downstream through a series of horizontal and vertical rollers. The horizontal rollers push the bocks over against stops formed on links of the conveyor to ensure horizontal alignment of the bocks. The vertical rollers press down on the blocks to insure that the ends are aligned vertically as the bocks are crowded together. The rollers in each both the horizontal and vertical sections are individually suspended to accommodate minor variations in block size and are adjustable in position to allow various nominal block sizes. -
Figs. 1 a and 1b illustrate a guide device provided with a system for adjusting the distance of the rollers according to the prior art. - With reference to said figures, the adjustment system comprises a pair of
square thread screws 102, placed at the ends of thelongitudinal bar 101, and pivoted by means of bearings (not visible) onsupports 103 integral with the base of the machine (not illustrated in the figure). - On said
longitudinal bar 101 there are fastened a pair ofblocks 104, provided with threaded bushings or nuts (not visible) each engaged with saidscrews 102. Through rotation of thescrews 102 with respect to the threaded bushings it is possible to vary the height of thelongitudinal bar 101 and therefore to position therollers 107 at the required distance from the driving belt (not illustrated in the figure). - Rotation of the
screws 102 is controlled by acrank 105 or the like, or in some cases through an electric motor. Motion is transmitted from the crank (or from the motor) to thescrews 102 throughbevel gears 106 or the like. - The guide system of the panel, as described and illustrated, is however subject to improvement; in fact, although said system to adjust the distance is functional, it is too costly with a view to progressively reducing the production costs of this type of machinery.
- In particular, said high cost of the device is attributable both to the use of a large number of components and to their unit cost (above all in relation to the screws, the threaded bushings, the gears, and the various bearings and supporting bushings).
- In this context, the object of the present invention is to propose a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, which overcomes the problems of prior art.
- In detail, an object of the invention is to propose a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, which enables rapid and precise adjustment of the position of the pressing rollers but which is at the same time simple and inexpensive.
- In even more detail, an object of the invention is to propose a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, which comprises a smaller number of components with respect to prior art devices.
- A further object of the present invention is to propose a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, which enables the use of simpler and less expensive components with respect to those used in prior art devices.
- The aforesaid objects are in substance achieved by a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, in conformity with one or more of the appended claims.
- In particular, these objects are achieved by a guide device of a panel in an edge-banding machine, comprising a supporting bar provided with a plurality of pressing rollers pivoted thereon, said bar being mounted slidingly along a substantially vertical direction on at least one support integral with the base of the machine, said support and said supporting bar being provided with cam means adapted to control translation thereof along said substantially vertical direction.
- In more detail, said cam means comprise at least a first pin, pivoted on said support, sliding slides in a first substantially vertical slot obtained on the supporting bar, at least a said second pin sliding in a second slot arranged crosswise to the first slot and also obtained on said supporting bar, said first pin and said second pin being able to rotate integrally around a first axis coincident with the axis of said first pin, there being provided means adapted to rotate said first pin about said first axis.
- By rotating the first pin, said second pin thus performs a rotation about the axis of the first pin and, being engaged with the second slot, during movement thereof drives the supporting bar along the substantially vertical direction.
- The movement system thus configured is particularly simple and inexpensive, using a limited number of low cost components.
- Other characteristics and advantages will become more readily apparent in the exemplary, and therefore non-limiting, description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the appended figures, wherein:
-
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an edge-banding machine provided with a guide device of a panel according to the invention; -
Fig. 3 is a front view of the edge-banding machine ofFig. 2 ; -
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the guide device of a panel according to the invention; -
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a detail of the guide device ofFig. 4 ; -
Fig. 6 is a front view of a detail of the guide device ofFig. 4 ; -
Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the guide device ofFig. 4 . - With reference to
Figs. 2 and3 , the edge-banding machine, indicated as a whole with 1, comprises abase 2 on which there are installed a plurality of stations (not visible in the figure as covered by a casing C) provided with tools and accessories adapted to perform the various steps required for application of an edging element on a panel P. - In detail, said operations take place in succession during translation of said panel, along an axis X, from an inlet area I of the machine toward an outlet area O.
- Movement of the panel is entrusted to a
driving belt 3 in contact with the lower surface thereof. - As already mentioned, to ensure the correct friction force between the belt and the panel, the machine is provided with a guide device, indicated as a whole with 4, adapted to press said panel and maintain it in contact with the belt below.
- According to the invention said guide device comprises a supporting
bar 5 aligned with saidbelt 3 and placed above it. - In the embodiment illustrated said supporting
bar 5 is composed of a plate, preferably made of metal, having a length similar to that of thebelt 3 and arranged vertically. - In proximity of the
lower edge 6 said bar is provided with a plurality ofpressing rollers 7 pivoted thereon, and arranged so that at least a portion of their perimeter projects from said lower edge to be able to contact the panel P below. - To be able to adjust the distance of said pressing rollers from the
belt 3, to ensure the correct pressure is exerted on the panel P according to its thickness, saidbar 5 is mounted slidingly along a substantially vertical direction Z on at least onesupport 8 which can be connected integrally with thebase 2 of the machine (Fig. 4 ). - Preferably, to ensure greater stability, said supporting
bar 5 is mounted on a pair ofsupports 8 placed at the two lateral ends thereof. - In more detail, each support is provided with a
slide 9 housed in arace 10 obtained on arear face 11 of the bar which acts as a guide for translation of this bar along a substantially vertical direction Z (Fig. 5 ). - In even more detail, said
slide 9 is composed of a plate with at least two rectilinear and parallellateral edges 9a adapted to slide in contact with the same number oflateral edges 10a of therace 10. - A characteristic of the invention is that of providing the supporting
bar 5 and thesupports 8 with cam means adapted to control translation of said bar along the substantially vertical direction Z. - In more detail, with reference to
Figs. 5 ,6 and7 , said cam means comprise at least afirst pin 12 pivoted on saidsupport 8 and arranged with the axis Y1 thereof substantially perpendicular to thefront face 13 of the supporting bar. - In practice, the
pin 12 is able to rotate about its axis Y1 and is constrained to the translation in a plane X-Z. - According to the invention, said
first pin 12 is housed slidingly in a first throughslot 14, obtained on the supportingbar 5; preferably said slot is arranged parallel to thelateral edges 9a of theslide 9 and even more preferably it is arranged vertically. - Said cam means also comprise a
second pin 15, also arranged with its axis Y2 substantially perpendicular to thefront face 13 of the supporting bar. - Said
second pin 15 is in turn housed in a second throughslot 16, obtained on the supportingbar 5 and arranged crosswise to thefirst slot 14. - According to a preferred embodiment, said
second slot 16 is arranged perpendicular to saidfirst slot 14 and even more preferably is it arranged horizontally. - According to the invention said
first pin 12 and saidsecond pin 15 are connected in such as manner as to be able to rotate integrally around the axis Y1 of the first pin. - In this way the
second pin 15 performs a rotation about the axis Y1 describing a circumference with radius E equal to the distance between the two axes Y1 and Y2 in a plane X-Z. - This ensures that during its movement in the plane X-Z the
second pin 15, engaged with thesecond slot 16, can drive the supportingbar 5 along the only direction of movement possible, i.e. along the axis Z. - By rotating the
first pin 12 it is therefore possible to control lifting or lowering of the supportingbar 5 and thus adjust the distance of thepressing rollers 7 from thedriving belt 3. - The length L1 of the
first slot 14 determines the maximum movement that the supporting bar can carry out along the vertical axis Z. - The distance E between the axes Y1 and Y2 of the two pins instead determines the ratio between the angle of rotation of the first pin and the linear distance travelled by the supporting bar along the axis Z.
- The greater this distance is, the greater the movement of the bar with the same angle of rotation of the
first pin 12 will be. - This distance can be varied at will, depending on the need to obtain a device with a movement that is more rapid, or more precise and sensitive.
- In the embodiment illustrated, for reasons linked to optimization of the machining operation, the first and the second slot penetrate one another; this has no implication in the operation of the device as the two slots can also be separated.
- Preferably the
second pin 15 is provided with abearing 21 to reduce the friction between it and theedges 22 of thesecond slot 16, thus reducing the effort required for movement of the supportingbar 5. - In fact, according to a preferred embodiment, to control lifting or lowering of the supporting
bar 5 there is provided alever 17, which can be operated manually, fastened integrally with saidfirst pin 12 to rotate it. - Advantageously, the device is provided with a graduated index (not illustrated) that measures the movement of the supporting bar along the direction Z; in more detail, said index, when reset, returns the values of thickness of panel that can be machined to a given height of the bar.
- The index thus configured is set in such a manner as to enable a certain degree of interference between the pressing rollers and the surface of the panel, to ensure the correct pressure thereon at all times, preventing manual errors by the operator.
- Alternatively, according to the invention it is possible to use electric, pneumatic or similar motors, also connected directly or indirectly to said
first pin 12. - The connection between the
first pin 12 and thesecond pin 15 is obtained through a non-deformable rigid element in such a manner that the distance E remains unchanged and that this can transmit the necessary torque for movement of the supportingbar 5. - In the embodiment illustrated the first and the second pin are fastened on a
plate 18. - To enable simultaneous and synchronous rotation of the two
first pins 12 of each support, connection means 19 are provided between them, and more in particular between the twoplates 18. - In this way, movement means (the
lever 17 or other motor means) can be present only on one of the twosupports 8 or, if provided on both the supports, they can be operated singularly to enable in any case balanced translation of the supporting bar. - According to a preferred embodiment, said
plates 18 are composed of two pinions and said connection means comprise a chain wound around it adapted to transmit the rotational motion from the manually activated pinion to the driven pinion. - Alternatively, said connection means 19 comprise a pair of
tie rods 20 fastened at the ends on homologous points of a diameter of eachplate 18. - In this way, by rotating one of the two
plates 18, through the lever 17 (or the motor means), one of the two tie rods, the one subject to traction, also enables the opposite plate to be driven, rotating it by the same angle. By rotating theplate 18 in the opposite direction, rotation of the opposite plate will take place through the other tie rod now subjected to traction. - In yet another alternative, it is possible to use only one rigid connection element, such as a rod or the like, capable both of driving and of pushing the opposite plate.
- Preferably, to maintain the supporting
bar 5 in place after having adjusted the distance from thebelt 3, the guide device is provided with a blockingsystem 23 that acts on theplates 18 preventing rotation of thefirst pin 12. - In detail, said blocking system comprises a
bushing 24, inserted on a portion of thefirst pin 12 projecting from theplate 18, and alever 25 which can be screwed onto a threaded end portion of said first pin. - Screwing said lever presses the bushing against the
plate 18, which in turn is pressed on thefront surface 13 of the supporting bar. - The friction between the
plate 18 and thebar 5 is sufficient to prevent the force exerted by the pressing rollers on the panel from causing it to lift, nullifying the initial adjustment. - With the present invention it is possible to produce a simple guide device of a panel that enables rapid and precise adjustment of the distance of the pressing rollers from the conveyor belt.
- The device thus described provides for the use of a limited number of components, which are relatively inexpensive, reliable and which do not require particular maintenance.
- Several changes and variations can be made to the present invention as described and illustrated, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept; moreover, all details can be replaced with technically equivalent elements.
