Description

The present invention relates to a core layer, which has zig-zag-shaped wooden elements, which is suitable for producing a multi-layer composite or in a Mehrsachichtverbund, preferably for producing a lightweight board, and a multi-layer composite, which has the core layer. The invention further relates to methods for producing the core layer and the multi-layer composite.

It is known to use composite materials for the production of multilayer composites, which have a relatively high mechanical stability compared to their weight. Such multilayer composites are used for example in the form of lightweight panels.

CH 254025 relates to a multi-layer composite comprising two cover plates and a core layer therebetween, wherein the core layer comprises at least one layer of folded veneer. The veneer is folded at an angle to the grain of the grain in the wood.

DE 42 01 201 relates to semi-finished or finished product made of wood, which are made of platelet-shaped elements. The plate-shaped elements may be zigzag-shaped. They can exist in random distribution along with surface elements.

DE 10 2008 022 806 relates to a lightweight board with a wavy wood veneer layer. The waves may be zigzag-shaped.

Common to these multilayer composites is that the core layer has a loosened structure. Upon application of force perpendicular to the surface of the multi-layer composite, this has a damping effect, since the core layer can be at least partially compressed. A disadvantage of these loosened core layers is that they may have a low homogeneity, which is caused by relatively large voids in the core layer. Then, when introducing fasteners, such as nails, furniture connectors or screws, they may encounter voids in the loosened core layers. This can result in limited stability of the fastener in the multi-layer composite. This in turn can lead to the fact that the stability of the multi-layer composite on a support, for example on a wall, can be impaired if it is to be fastened with the aid of nails or screws to the wall. In addition, the production of large-sized core layers requires correspondingly large veneer pieces in high quality.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a core layer and a multi-layer composite containing the core layer, which has improved stability with respect to fastening with nails, furniture connectors or screws or equivalent fastening means to a support, for example a wall.

This object is achieved according to the invention with a core layer which is suitable for a multi-layer composite which has at least one cover layer and the core layer, wherein the cover layer is arranged such that it at least partially covers the core layer and is in firm connection therewith, and the multi-layer composite comprising the core layer, wherein the core layer has wood elements, which have areas which are arranged in a zigzag shape.

The term also includes an edge configured as a curved surface. In this embodiment, the zig-zag-shaped wooden element may also have a wavy course. Thus , as used herein, the term "edge" includes a sharp edge in the form of a line, as well as a wavy or wavy edge in the form of a curved plane, or a curved area between a zig area and a zigzag area. In this embodiment, the zig-zag areas have a wave-shaped structure, ie a wave trough is followed by a wave crest and vice versa.

Such edges can be created by folding a platelet-shaped element of wood. Preferably, then the plate-shaped element is designed as a veneer.

Preferably, the edge formed between a zig area and a zigzag portion of the plate-like wood element is perpendicular to the fiber direction of the wood element.

Accordingly, this embodiment of the core layer is also characterized in that one or more of said edges extends or extend perpendicular to the preferred direction of the fibers of the plate-shaped wooden element.

This also preferably means that, in one embodiment, the direction of the fibers in the wood element extends in the direction of the zigzag-shaped adjoining platelet-shaped regions and perpendicular to their common edges.

The term "perpendicular to the fiber direction" means that a deviation in an angle of about up to 30 ° is possible.

It is possible that in the core layer according to the invention, regions other than the said edges of the plate-like wood elements having zigzag-shaped regions also cross over one another. For example, zig-areas with zick areas of other wood elements can cross over so that not the edges but Areas of the areas crossing or overlapping, or said edges may cross over or overlap areas of the zick areas.

In one embodiment, the core layer has planar elements in addition to the zig-zag-shaped wooden elements. The term "even" includes terms such as "planar" or "just formed or formed" or "planar formed or formed". These planar elements can be selected from: wood, paper, metal, plastic, and two or more of them. These flat elements can be glued to said edges of the plate-like wooden elements, which have zig-zag arranged areas.

Fourth aspect of the invention Compression molded core layer and compression molded multilayer composite

A fourth aspect of the invention relates to a core layer and a multi-layer composite containing the core layer, which are not planar.

In one embodiment, the core layer according to the first aspect of the invention or produced by the method of the second aspect and the multi-layer composite according to the third aspect may be subjected to a compression set step, whereby three-dimensional objects can be produced. For this purpose, the core layer according to the invention or the multilayer composite according to the invention can be deformed in a suitable pressing tool. This deformation can occur during the production of the core layer or the multilayer composite as well as subsequently.

In one embodiment, only the edges of the core layer or the multi-layer composite are deformed, preferably by compression. This makes it possible to seal the cavities at the edges of the core layer or the multi-layer composite. This compression molding may be performed during the assembly of the core layers or the multi-layer composite, but also following the joining of the core layers or the multi-layer composite in a downstream stage, for example by thermal softening of the adhesive at the edges. This embodiment has the advantage that sealing of the edges, for example by applying a wooden strip, preferably a veneer strip, can be omitted.

During compression, it is possible to provide the edge part of the core layer or of the multi-layer composite with a convex profile, ie a rounded profile. This is e.g. often desirable for high quality furniture components.

In a further embodiment, not only the edge region but also, in addition to or separate from the edge region, further regions of the core layer or of the multilayer composite can be compression-deformed.

A method of producing three-dimensional wood articles by compression deformation is disclosed in US Pat DD 271870 and the DE 101 24 912 described.

1. (i) Druckverformen des Mehrschichtverbunds gemäß des dritten Aspekts.

Accordingly, in a fourth aspect , the invention relates to a multilayer composite, at least comprising a cover layer and a core layer, wherein the cover layer is arranged such that it at least partially covers and is in firm connection with the core layer, wherein the core layer comprises a core layer according to the first Aspect of the invention and the embodiments described therein; or a core layer is made by a method according to the second aspect of the invention and the embodiments described therein; or the multi-layer composite is a multi-layer composite according to the third aspect of the invention and the embodiments described therein; preparable by a process which has at least the step (i):

1. (i) compression molding the core layer according to the first aspect of the invention and the embodiments described therein; or compression molding a core layer made by a method according to the second aspect of the invention and the embodiments described therein.

Fifth aspect of the invention Use of the core layer according to the invention and of the multilayer composite according to the invention

According to a fifth aspect , the invention further relates to the use of the multilayer composite according to the invention or the core layer according to the invention. Preferably, the multilayer composite according to the invention or the core layer according to the invention can be used in applications which allow a high mechanical stress at a relatively low weight, and / or which require a high damping capacity. In one embodiment, the multi-layer composite or core layer is used in furniture manufacturing, for shelves, for packaging for transportation, in interior fittings, in doors and gates, in or as chairs, as well as in vehicle and shipbuilding. For this purpose, the multi-layer composite or the core layer can be processed by cutting, sawing, filing and / or drilling by known methods.

The core layer according to the invention and a multi-layer composite, which has the core layer according to the invention, for example a lightweight board, have a high compressive and stress resistance. In this regard, the core layer according to the invention and the multi-layer composite produced therefrom according to the invention are superior to the corresponding core layers or multilayer composites produced from industrial waste from chips and fiberboard. In addition, dimensional changes in the core layer or multilayer composite under the influence of moisture, in particular dimensional changes in the thickness of the core layer or of the multi-layer composite, may be negligible due to the negligible dimensional changes of the wood elements in the fiber direction. This is especially true when the fiber direction is in the direction of the at least two adjacent platelet-shaped regions and perpendicular to the edges formed by the contiguous regions. This is a further advantage over other known core layers and multi-layer composites made therefrom, as for example are made of flat particles or layers made with parallel fibers, such as plywood or fiberboard.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the stated advantages result from the structure of the zig-zag wood elements used in the core layer and the multi-layer composite, said edge not being parallel to the grain of the wood element, but preferably perpendicular thereto , Then the structure of the wood element still becomes supported by the wood fibers, in particular at said edge. In contrast, wood elements made from industrial waste have fibers that do not have the same preferred direction but extend isotropically in the three spatial directions. Then the corresponding edges can run parallel to the fiber direction. Therefore, the structure of these wood elements is not or only to a lesser extent supported on said edge compared to wood elements, as used in the core layer and the plate produced therefrom according to the invention.

In addition, fasteners such as nails and screws or furniture connectors find in the core layer according to the invention and the multilayer composite according to the invention a reliable hold, since the structure of the core layer at comparatively low density has only small voids, that has a high homogeneity. This can also be a stable attachment to a support, for example on a wall, can be achieved.

Fig. 1a shows a cross section of an embodiment of a multi-layer composite according to the invention 1. The multi-layer composite 1 is designed so that it is a lightweight board. A core layer 3 is covered by the cover layer 2. This is designed as a wood veneer. The core layer 3 comprises wood elements which are shaped so that a wood element has two adjacent platelet-shaped regions which are arranged in a zigzag shape, such that a zick region and the adjacent zack region form a common edge between them such that the wood element is zig-zag shaped, wherein elements in the core layer are arranged so that two such edges of two elements, which may be the same or different from each other, intersect at an angle other than zero, wherein the two elements are firmly connected together at the point of intersection.

The resulting panel 1 is relatively lightweight and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance due to the veneer top layer 2. The average density of the core layer 3 is lower than the average density of the cover layer 2. The wood elements, which may be made of folded veneer pieces, are randomly disposed within the core layer 3. They are connected to each other and to the cover layer 2 by an adhesive. As a result, the lightweight board can withstand shear forces acting on the layers, regardless of the direction of the shear forces in the main plane of the board. This means that the plate has a homogeneous lateral stability. The wood elements are arranged side by side and / or one above the other. This allows a dense filling of the core layer, whereby the plate receives a high mechanical stability, so that it can be further processed, for example by fitting with nails and screws or furniture connectors. This also allows a stable attachment to a carrier, such as on a wall.

The wood elements are arranged randomly in the core layer 3, but can also be arranged in a regular manner, that is to say in a predetermined manner. For example, the wooden elements can be arranged in an arrangement in a group-like manner, that is, in domains of subunits of the core layer 3, the wooden elements of a first subunit having a first preferred direction and wooden elements of a second subunit having a second preferred direction, preferably the first subunit the second subunit is adjacent and the first preferential direction is preferably different from or at least partially equal to the second preferential direction. A preferred direction may be defined by the edge of a zig-zag wooden element, or may be described by a section of the direction of a wood fiber of a wood element, or may be described by an edge, for example a section of the long edge of a strip-shaped wood element (A strip which has been formed so that it is zig-zag-shaped) or by a connecting line between the edges formed by the zigzag-shaped arranged portions of a zigzag-shaped wooden element.

The multi-layer composite 1 after Fig. 1a has only one cover layer, namely the cover layer 2. A composite with only one-sided cover layer has in comparison to a composite with double-sided cover layers surrounding the core layer sandwich-like, a reduced stability. However, it can serve, for example, as an intermediate for the production of a composite with double-sided outer layers. Such a composite is in Fig. 1b shown.

Fig. 1b shows a cross section of a preferred embodiment of the multi-layer composite according to the invention, namely a cross section of the multi-layer composite 10 in the form of a plate. A cover layer 2 and another cover layer 2 '(a bottom layer) are provided, the second cover layer 2' providing additional mechanical stability to the plate. The visual appearance of the cover layer 2 'may be different from that of the cover layer 2. Such a composite shows in comparison to the composite Fig. 1a a much higher flexural strength and flexural rigidity.

Fig. 1c shows a cross section of another preferred embodiment of a multi-layer composite according to the invention, namely the multi-layer composite 100 in the form of a plate. The panel has a cover layer 2, a cover layer 2 'and a cover layer 2 "and a further core layer 3' next to the core layer 3. The cover layers 2 and 2 'surround the core layer 3 in a sandwich-like manner, as well as the cover layers 2' and 2 'the core layer 3' sandwich-like. This gives the plate 100 in comparison to the plate 10 additional mechanical stability. The zig-zag-shaped wooden elements in the core layers 3 and 3 'may be random or may be regularly arranged, ie partially regular (for example in domains) or substantially completely regular. The zigzag-shaped wooden elements in the core layer 3 may have a first preferred direction and the zigzag-shaped wooden elements in the core layer 3 'may have a second preferred direction, wherein the first preferred direction is preferably different from the second preferred direction, or at least partially equal to the second preferred direction.

Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of zig-zag-shaped wooden elements 30 in the core layer 3, 3 'of a preferred embodiment of a multi-layer composite 1, 10, 100 according to the invention. Each wooden element 30 has adjacent zigzag and zigzag regions 50 and 60, which include common edge 70 between them form. The arrangement of the zig-zag-shaped wooden elements 30 is random. Therefore, the contact surface 40 between adjoining wooden elements is in each case a point 40. When arranging and subsequent bonding, the wood elements generally have point-like joints 40 at the edges 70 crossing at different angles. These joints in turn are partially compressed during the moderate compression by upsetting and thus make possible a homogenization of the structure. Depending on the degree of compaction, a high to medium void fraction remains. This results in a lower density core layer 3, 3 'since alignment of the wood elements 30 does not substantially occur along their respective preferred directions. As a result, the core layer is more anisotropic, implying anisotropic mechanical characterization of the resulting plate. The resulting structure represents a random truss whose trusses consist of parallel-cased, highly load-bearing wood. The compressed, articulated rod connections are, as is well known in trusses, no weak points, as a truss allows joints. Prerequisite is a sufficient bonding of the joints to absorb longitudinal forces can.

In addition to the resulting from the truss structure high compressive and shear strength and stiffness of the finished lightweight construction element, the very low thickness swelling of the lightweight panel is to emphasize moisture changes due to the virtually negligible swelling of the wood along the grain direction. Thus, such a plate would be superior to all other, built from flat particles or paralleleparous layers of wood materials such as chipboard and fiberboard, plywood or blockboard.

In one embodiment, the zigzag-shaped wooden elements can be combined with admixed planar, ie planar, elements. Preferably, the zig-zag-shaped wooden elements are glued to the planar elements. This results in the bonding proportionate linear joints between the zigzag-shaped trained elements and the planar elements and thus an increased transverse tensile strength of the lightweight board.

Fig. 2a shows two components of a further preferred embodiment of a multi-layer composite 1, 10, 100 according to the invention or a core layer 3, 3 'according to the invention. The core layer 3, 3 'comprises platelet-shaped zig-zag-shaped wooden elements 30, wherein the wooden elements 30 may have a plurality of edges 70 which are formed by adjacent platelet-shaped zigzag and zag regions 50 and 60, for example five edges 70 as in wood element 30 of the Fig. 2a , In addition, there is a planar element 200, which is designed for example as a veneer.

Fig. 2b shows that according to an advantageous variant, a zigzag-shaped element 30 is glued in a first step with a planar element 200 similar or the same format, so that a regular and thus very rigid framework structure in the wood element 30 is formed. The planar element 200 may consist of wood veneer, paper, cardboard or similar, sheet-like materials. The zig-zag-shaped wooden element 30 and the planar element 200 form cavities 300. This framework of the element formed from the planar element 200 and the zig-zag-shaped element 30 remains fully preserved during subsequent compression to a lightweight core. Depending on the location, a local compaction takes place at the joints of these truss-shaped elements. Thus, a high void content 300 remains in the core, which can not be filled by adjacent elements.

Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of zig-zag-shaped wooden elements 30 'of the core layer 3, 3' on a cover layer 20 'of another preferred embodiment of a multi-layer composite according to the invention 1, 10, 100. The arrangement of the wood elements is random, resulting in an anisotropic mechanical identification of resulting plate implies. A wood element 30 'is a strip-shaped zig-zag-shaped element having only one edge 70 between adjacent zig-zag and areas 50 and 60. Generally, a strip-shaped element is an element whose length is greater than the width expressed by a factor c, where c is preferably between the upper and lower limits according to {2; 3; 5} <c <{3;5;8th;10; 20} lies.

The edge region 8 'does not form a sharp edge but a curved edge in the form of a curved plane, which may extend to the height H of the wood element. The wood member 8 has only one edge portion but may have a plurality of edge portions as indicated by the dotted lines.

Fig. 6a and 6b show a device with which zigzag-shaped wood elements can be produced by folding. 6a shows the side view of the device used for the folding, Fig. 6b the view in the direction of travel.

In this method, veneer or run veneer-like elements such as OSB chips with a production-related wood moisture of at least 30% running in a known from the prior art cutting, wherein the wood fiber direction is transverse to the transport direction. This cutting unit separates the veneer or the OSB chips into a strip or wooden elements with a width of optionally 10 to 80 mm. This strip or wooden elements enter a profiling tool, which, starting from the middle, presses in each case a zig-zag profile transversely to the wood fiber direction until the entire width is profiled. The profiling tool is equipped with a heater which heats up the particles after profiling and dries to the moisture required for further processing. At the same time, the springback of the profiling is kept to a minimum. After profiling and drying, the wood elements go through one Roll gluing station, in which the folding edges are provided on both sides with preferably thermosetting adhesive. The adhesive dries quickly on the still hot particles, it is reactivated during subsequent compression of the particles. Subsequently, the splitting of the profiled wooden elements takes place parallel to the wood fiber direction in 8 to 80mm long parts. Edge sections with correspondingly smaller lengths are also used, as well as sections that arise when splitting the veneer.

To produce a lightweight board, the particles provided with adhesive are scattered onto a prepared cover layer, so that the particles are statistically distributed with respect to direction and position in the surface direction, comparable to other particle materials such as chipboard. After placing the upper cover layer, the plate is made by pressing with moderate pressing pressure, which leads to the contact of the particle edges with each other. By contact heating, high frequency or hot air heating, the curing of the adhesive can be accelerated.

In the manufacture of regular timbered timber elements by joining zigzag wood elements and planar, i.e. both wooden elements are profiled after profiling and synchronously brought together and glued together.

According to an advantageous variant, the profiling tool is unheated. After profiling, the gluing of the still moist particles with a moisturizing adhesive based on polyurethane and the gluing of zigzag-shaped wood elements and planar wood elements. This gluing fixes the zig-zag profile. This excludes springback.

After bonding, the separation into defined wide parts and finally the compression of the half-timbered particles to a lightweight board.

When still wet particles are processed, the core can be dried by applying air to the side to adjust the final moisture content of the board.

In a first embodiment ( Example 1 ) is a 0.6 mm thick, a wood moisture content of 30%, measured transverse to the wood fiber direction one meter long and 50 mm wide in the grain direction veneer strip 4 on a 5 mm pitch zigzag-like and profiled, profiled, 40 mm wide, heated roller 5 passed and pressed in the center starting from a center profile of the following, heated shoe 6.1 in the profile. This is followed by the sliding shoes 6.2, 6.3, etc., which each press the adjacent profile into the veneer strip until the entire width of the veneer strip is profiled. Gradual profiling from the center guarantees stress-free forming. In the course of the now finished profiled veneer strip 4.1 is held by a likewise heated belt 700 on the roller 5 and thereby dried. This fixes the profiling in the veneer strip. This is followed by a Walzenbeleimstation 800, in which the veneer strip 4.1 is provided at the profile edges with adhesive. Thereafter, the veneer strip 4.1 in a known separation station to 20 mm wide zig-zag-shaped wooden elements, such as the wood elements 30, divided. These wooden elements are pressed into a statically highly loadable wooden light building board with a density of 300 kg / m ³ .

In a further embodiment ( Example 2 ) 0.3 mm thick OSB chips with a length of 200 mm and a width of 30 mm are passed transversely to the transport direction in a cutting unit and divided into 40 mm long wooden elements. These wood elements continue into a profiling device according to Example 1, whose zig-zag profile has a grid of 4 mm. The further processing corresponds to Example 1. At the end of processing, a finely divided and homogeneously constructed wood lightweight building board with a density of 250 kg / m ^{3 is formed} . The particular advantage is a largely automatable production.

In a further exemplary embodiment ( Example 3 ), a zigzag-shaped profiled and glued veneer strip according to Example 1 is brought together with a planar veneer strip of width 24 mm and glued to it. This glued tape passes through a Beleimwalzenpaar to provide the tread edges or the outer surface of the planar band with adhesive. After passing through a separation station are particles in the form of a regular framework according to Fig. 2b in front. During pressing, a wooden lightweight building board with a density of 180 kg / m ^{3 is produced} .

Fig. 7a shows the production of a zigzag-shaped wooden element by cutting with a knife 1000 from a block of wood 13. According to the invention used in the production of peeling or sliced veneer or veneer-like chips 1000 profiled zigzag-shaped.

Fig. 7b shows the obtained wood element, such as wood element 30. This can then be crushed, for example in a cutting unit.

Fig. 7c shows a zigzag-shaped wooden element 30 of the Fig. 7b , wherein the zig-zag profile is dimensioned so that the wood fibers 3000 have at least twice the length 4000 compared to the thickness 500 and thus allow good Querzug- and shear strength. An advantage of this variant is the production of profiled parts in a single operation and the high consistency of the profiles. The oblique to the profile bars extending wood fibers represent a compromise in terms of their strength, as well as the higher thickness swelling.

Fig. 8a and 8b show in a further embodiment ( Example 4 ) a device for the production of zig-zag shaped wooden elements by cutting. Fig. 8a shows the side view, Fig. 8b the top view. In this case, on a known veneer knife machine of a 400 mm high wood block 13 by means of a zigzag-shaped profiled knife 1000 with a profile grid size of 5 mm profiled veneer 400 11 height of 3mm is cut. The thickness of the profiled veneer (500 in Fig. 7c ) is 0.5mm. On the profile knife 1000 are at a distance of 25 mm scoring knife 12 attached, which cut the resulting profiled veneer 400 in 25 mm wide and 400 mm long strips. These strips whose wood fiber direction is transverse to the longitudinal axis are comminuted in a known hammer mill to wood elements with an average width of 16 mm, for example, wood elements 30. It joins the drying, sifting and gluing in known drums, whereupon the prepared zick -Zack-shaped wooden elements by means of known scattering machines scattered to a nonwoven and pressed together with outer layers to a lightweight board with a density of 350 kg / m ³ .

In a further exemplary embodiment ( example 5 ), a knife disc chipper customary in chipboard technology is equipped with knives profiled with zigzag-shaped knives having a profile grid dimension of 3 mm, the set chip thickness being 0.3 mm. The attached scoring blades have a distance of 20 mm. Starting product are roundwood sections, peeling residual rolls and other residual materials. The wood elements produced with this chipper are further processed according to Example 4. A particular advantage of this technology is the comparability with the highly productive production of chipboard, which results in a very cost-effective lightweight wood construction material.

In a further embodiment ( Example 6 ) a veneer peeling machine is equipped with a knife according to Example 4. The correspondingly profiled veneer web produced from a peeling block passes through a veneer drier, a roller gluing machine and finally a contact press in which a board web is pressed. Subsequently, the distribution of this web by means of known cutting units in 25 x 25 mm ² large wooden elements, which represent regular trusses. After inspection and removal of unusable portions of these wood elements are provided in a Beleimtrommel with adhesive and then pressed into a wood corrugated board with a density of 200 kg / m ³ . Advantageous here is the usability of inferior wood assortments that are not suitable for the usual veneer production.

Fig. 9 shows zig-zag-shaped wooden elements 30 ", which are produced by cutting with a correspondingly profiled knife, which have no constant profile thickness.These are characterized by an increased compressive strength.The cutting direction in the manufacture of the elements can with each new cutting stroke in The geometry and thus also the stability of the veneer pieces caused by the fiber progression changes with a maximum difference of the cutting directions by 90 °, the produced "profiled wood element ", depending on the cutting thickness, has a grid structure In addition to solid wood, wooden materials, which have approximately the same strength properties in different sheet directions, are suitable as starting material, for example residual or waste pieces made of plywood or medium-density fibreboard can be used for this purpose.
