Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for splitting wood, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a device for splitting wood is from the US 2004/0250895 A1 known.
- a device for splitting wood is known with two splitting tools arranged at a fixed distance from one another, between which a plunger is driven so as to be movable with an adjusting device.
- a drive spindle is provided which controls a movement of the pressure stamp.
- This drive spindle is driven by a motor.
- the pressure stamp assumes an end position adjacent to the one fixed splitting tool, in order to subsequently insert a wooden gap into the gap chamber formed between the two splitting tools. Then a movement of the pressure stamp on the opposite splitting tool is triggered and the wood is split.
- another piece of wood can be inserted into the splitting chamber for splitting, and the pressure stamp is moved in the opposite direction.
- a log splitter is also known. This comprises two splitting tools arranged at a fixed distance from one another, between which a splitting chamber is formed. A pressure ram can be moved within the gap chamber and is guided in rails by means of a sliding block. To control the movement of the plunger, two hydraulic cylinders are provided, which are aligned in mirror image to the plunger, one hydraulic cylinder each being permanently assigned to the splitting tool, so that the piston rod engages the plunger and the extension movement of the piston rod takes place on the opposite splitting tool. The movement of the pressure plate can be controlled by the respective successive activation of the hydraulic lifting cylinders.
- the US 2004/0250895 A1 discloses a log splitter with two spaced-apart splitting tools, between which a plunger is provided so that it can move. This plunger is moved by two opposing pressure cylinders, a piston rod being provided in each of the pressure cylinders, which are connected to the plunger and each trigger an opposite direction of adjustment of the plunger.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for splitting wood, which has a structurally simple structure.
- an actuating device for controlling a movement of the pressure ram between two fixed and spaced-apart splitting tools has an actuator which has at least two opposing pressure cylinders, each associated with a fixed splitting tool, and in one end of a single plunger rod is guided in each of the opposing pressure cylinders and the pressure plunger is fastened to the plunger rod and can be moved within the gap chamber.
- This actuator represents a structurally simple structure, in which a plunger rod is guided into two opposing pressure cylinders and is actuated by these for a movement. This can reduce the number of components.
- a pressure chamber of the pressure cylinder can preferably be acted upon with a control medium.
- only one pressure cylinder is required to control the movement.
- the opposite pressure cylinder can be depressurized.
- the actuating device comprises a servomotor that actuates the actuator.
- This servomotor preferably acts alternately with a control pressure on the opposing pressure cylinders. This allows simple force relationships to be formed in order to control the pressure ram within the gap chamber for the subsequent splitting process.
- the plunger rod is designed as a pressure tube, which has an end-side pressure surface at each end, and each pressure surface is provided in one of the opposing pressure cylinders.
- a single plunger rod actuates two opposing pressure cylinders. This represents a structurally simple and inexpensive embodiment that has high compressive rigidity. In addition, this configuration saves weight.
- the plunger rod preferably has a length which comprises at least the length of one of the two pressure cylinders and the distance between the two stationary splitting tools forming the splitting chamber.
- the pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably provided on a housing section and in particular form an assembly module. As a result, two identical units can be provided for the device for splitting wood, and a cost reduction can be achieved.
- One end of the plunger rod is preferably guided and supported in an assembly module. This allows increased splitting forces to be absorbed. There is also a simple construction.
- the pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably formed in one piece. This allows a further reduction in assembly time and assembly costs.
- the pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably produced as a cast component. This enables further cost savings.
- the assembly module preferably comprises at least one flange section provided on the housing section, to which the frame, in particular a support profile of the frame, can be fastened.
- Two support profiles are advantageously provided, which are arranged opposite one another on the flange sections, so that an O-shaped frame is formed. As a result, a closed frame can be formed which can absorb high splitting forces.
- the two mutually opposite flange sections on the housing section of the assembly module preferably have at least one form-locking element which engages in a complementary element on the carrier profile. This allows plug or screw connections between the flange section of the mounting module and the support profile, the forces occurring during the gripping process are absorbed via the form-locking elements.
- These form-locking elements are used for power transmission, so that the fastening means or connecting means between the carrier profile and the flange section only assume the fastening function and can be designed free of a splitting force transmission.
- a sealing arrangement is preferably provided between the pressure cylinder and the plunger rod.
- This sealing arrangement can be integrated in the housing section of the assembly module. This configuration has the advantage that only one sealing arrangement is provided in each pressure cylinder, which seals the pressure chambers of the pressure cylinders. In this way, the number of seals and thus the leakage rate can be reduced compared to the use of two hydraulic lifting cylinders located opposite one another.
- the sealing arrangement comprises at least one plunger seal, in particular a shaft seal or an O-ring seal, and a wiper element arranged towards the free end of the housing section of the assembly module.
- This scraper element can be used to create a robust embodiment, since any chips, dust and / or dirt adhering to the plunger rod are kept away from the internal shaft or plunger seal.
- a guide for the plunger rod is preferably provided between the sealing arrangement and the pressure chamber. This guidance can be made possible by an annular bushing or an annular bearing element, which guides the inward and outward movement of the plunger rod. By arranging the guide behind the plunger seal and the wiper element, this guide is protected against contamination entering the pressure cylinder and thus against damage. Characterized in that a guide is provided in each of the opposing pressure cylinders and the plunger rod in each of the opposing pressure cylinders in the pressure chambers is movably received, only one guide element on each pressure cylinder is sufficient to guide the plunger rod for the movement. In addition, an increased absorption of the splitting forces is given by the plunger rod being supported on both sides.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the actuator provides that an outside of the plunger rod is coated. This creates, for example, corrosion protection.
- An inside of the pressure chamber of the pressure cylinder is advantageously coated in order to provide corrosion protection and / or protection from the control medium. Air, water, oil or any other slightly compressible or incompressible liquid can be used as the control medium.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the assembly module provides that two or more pressure cylinders are each assigned to a fixed splitting tool, which can be controlled simultaneously. As a result, multiple loading of the force can be made possible with the same overall length, depending on the number of pressure cylinders.
- the pressure stamp acts on each plunger rod, which is guided and driven in a pair of opposing pressure cylinders.
- a guide arrangement is preferably provided between each support profile of the frame and the pressure stamp arranged movably therebetween.
- This guide arrangement preferably comprises at least one guide element which is arranged on each support profile.
- This guide element engages in a guide groove on the pressure ram, the guide element preferably being guided in the guide groove at least on two sides, in particular on three sides.
- Such an arrangement not only makes it possible for the pressure stamp to be moved back and forth in a straight line within the gap chamber, but also for the splitting forces acting on the pressure stamp during the splitting process to be absorbed at the same time.
- this guide arrangement enables the absorption of transverse forces during the movement of the pressure stamp within the working chamber.
- a further preferred embodiment of the device for splitting wood provides that the movement of the plunger rod can be controlled by a two-hand control with two operating levers and that an end of the movement can be monitored by a limit switch.
- a two-hand control has the advantage that the user actuates the operating levers during a splitting process in order to avoid the risk of injury.
- the operator can end the movement of the plunger rod by releasing the two-hand control.
- a limit switch is activated, by means of which the travel movement is switched off or the user is made aware that the pressure stamp is close to the end of the working chamber.
- the limit switch can be designed in such a way that it generates a vibrating or shaking signal or a counterforce on the operating lever, which is directed against the direction of actuation for controlling the travel movement.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung zum Spalten von Holz gelöst, bei welcher eine Stelleinrichtung zur Ansteuerung einer Verfahrbewegung des Druckstempels zwischen zwei feststehenden und im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Spaltwerkzeugen einen Stellantrieb aufweist, der zumindest zwei einander gegenüberliegende und jeweils einem feststehenden Spaltwerkzeug zugeordnete Druckzylinder aufweist und in jedem der einander gegenüberliegenden Druckzylinder ein Ende einer einzigen Plungerstange geführt ist und an der Plungerstange der Druckstempel befestigt ist, welcher innerhalb der Spaltkammer verfahrbar ist.

Zudem ist diese Ausgestaltung gewichtseinsparend.The plunger rod is designed as a pressure tube, which has an end-side pressure surface at each end, and each pressure surface is provided in one of the opposing pressure cylinders. A single plunger rod actuates two opposing pressure cylinders. This represents a structurally simple and inexpensive embodiment that has high compressive rigidity. In addition, this configuration saves weight.
Die Plungerstange weist bevorzugt eine Länge auf, welche zumindest die Länge eines der beiden Druckzylinder und den Abstand zwischen den zwei feststehenden, die Spaltkammer bildenden Spaltwerkzeuge umfasst. Dadurch kann eine maximale Ausnutzung eines Hubweges bei einer vorgegebenen Länge für die Druckzylinder und die Spaltkammer gegeben sein.The plunger rod preferably has a length which comprises at least the length of one of the two pressure cylinders and the distance between the two stationary splitting tools forming the splitting chamber. As a result, a maximum utilization of a stroke path with a predetermined length can be given for the pressure cylinder and the gap chamber.
Der Druckzylinder und das Spaltwerkzeug sind bevorzugt an einem Gehäuseabschnitt vorgesehen und bilden insbesondere ein Montagemodul. Dadurch können zwei baugleiche Einheiten für die Vorrichtung zum Spalten von Holz vorgesehen sein, und es kann eine Kostenreduzierung erzielt werden.The pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably provided on a housing section and in particular form an assembly module. As a result, two identical units can be provided for the device for splitting wood, and a cost reduction can be achieved.
Bevorzugt ist jeweils ein Ende der Plungerstange in einem Montagemodul geführt und gelagert. Dadurch können erhöhte Spaltkräfte aufgenommen werden. Zudem ist ein einfacher konstruktiver Aufbau gegeben.One end of the plunger rod is preferably guided and supported in an assembly module. This allows increased splitting forces to be absorbed. There is also a simple construction.
Bevorzugt sind der Druckzylinder und das Spaltwerkzeug einteilig ausgebildet. Somit können eine weitere Verringerung der Montagezeit und Montagekosten erfolgen. Vorzugsweise sind der Druckzylinder und das Spaltwerkzeug als Gussbauteil hergestellt. Dies ermöglicht eine weitere Kosteneinsparung.The pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably formed in one piece. This allows a further reduction in assembly time and assembly costs. The pressure cylinder and the splitting tool are preferably produced as a cast component. This enables further cost savings.
Das Montagemodul umfasst bevorzugt zumindest einen am Gehäuseabschnitt vorgesehenen Flanschabschnitt, an welchem der Rahmen, insbesondere ein Trägerprofil des Rahmens, befestigbar ist. Vorteilhafterweise sind zwei Trägerprofile vorgesehen, welche einander gegenüberliegend an den Flanschabschnitten angeordnet sind, so dass ein O-förmiger Rahmen gebildet ist. Dadurch kann ein geschlossener Rahmen gebildet werden, der hohe Spaltkräfte aufnehmen kann.The assembly module preferably comprises at least one flange section provided on the housing section, to which the frame, in particular a support profile of the frame, can be fastened. Two support profiles are advantageously provided, which are arranged opposite one another on the flange sections, so that an O-shaped frame is formed. As a result, a closed frame can be formed which can absorb high splitting forces.
Die zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Flanschabschnitte am Gehäuseabschnitt des Montagemoduls weisen vorzugsweise zumindest ein Formschlusselement auf, welches in ein komplementäres Element am Trägerprofil eingreift. Dadurch können bei Steck- oder Schraubverbindungen zwischen dem Flanschabschnitt des Montagemoduls und dem Trägerprofil die auftretenden Kräfte während des Greifvorganges über die Formschlusselemente aufgenommen werden. Diese Formschlusselemente dienen zur Kraftübertragung, so dass die Befestigungsmittel oder Verbindungsmittel zwischen dem Trägerprofil und dem Flanschabschnitt nur die Befestigungsfunktion übernehmen und frei von einer Spaltkraftübertragung ausgebildet werden können.The two mutually opposite flange sections on the housing section of the assembly module preferably have at least one form-locking element which engages in a complementary element on the carrier profile. This allows plug or screw connections between the flange section of the mounting module and the support profile, the forces occurring during the gripping process are absorbed via the form-locking elements. These form-locking elements are used for power transmission, so that the fastening means or connecting means between the carrier profile and the flange section only assume the fastening function and can be designed free of a splitting force transmission.
Zwischen dem Druckzylinder und der Plungerstange ist bevorzugt eine Dichtungsanordnung vorgesehen. Diese Dichtungsanordnung kann im Gehäuseabschnitt des Montagemoduls integriert sein. Diese Ausgestaltung weist den Vorteil auf, dass in jedem Druckzylinder jeweils nur eine Dichtungsanordnung vorzusehen ist, welche die Druckkammern der Druckzylinder abdichten. Somit kann im Vergleich zum Einsatz von zwei einander gegenüberliegenden hydraulischen Hubzylindern die Anzahl der Dichtungen und somit die Leckagerate reduziert werden.A sealing arrangement is preferably provided between the pressure cylinder and the plunger rod. This sealing arrangement can be integrated in the housing section of the assembly module. This configuration has the advantage that only one sealing arrangement is provided in each pressure cylinder, which seals the pressure chambers of the pressure cylinders. In this way, the number of seals and thus the leakage rate can be reduced compared to the use of two hydraulic lifting cylinders located opposite one another.
Die Dichtungsanordnung umfasst zumindest eine Plungerdichtung, insbesondere Wellendichtung oder O-Ring-Dichtung, sowie ein zum freien Ende des Gehäuseabschnitts des Montagemoduls angeordnetes Abstreiferelement. Durch dieses Abstreiferelement kann eine robuste Ausführungsform geschaffen werden, da gegebenenfalls an der Plungerstange anhaftende Späne, Staub und/oder Dreck von der innenliegenden Wellen- oder Plunger-Dichtung ferngehalten werden.The sealing arrangement comprises at least one plunger seal, in particular a shaft seal or an O-ring seal, and a wiper element arranged towards the free end of the housing section of the assembly module. This scraper element can be used to create a robust embodiment, since any chips, dust and / or dirt adhering to the plunger rod are kept away from the internal shaft or plunger seal.
Des Weiteren ist bevorzugt zwischen der Dichtungsanordnung und der Druckkammer eine Führung für die Plungerstange vorgesehen. Diese Führung kann durch eine ringförmige Büchse oder ein ringförmiges Lagerelement ermöglicht sein, welche die Ein- und Ausfahrbewegung der Plungerstange führt. Durch die Anordnung der Führung hinter der Plungerdichtung und dem Abstreiferelement ist diese Führung vor in den Druckzylinder eintretende Verschmutzung und somit vor Beschädigungen geschützt. Dadurch, dass in jedem der einander gegenüberliegenden Druckzylindern eine Führung vorgesehen und die Plungerstange in jede der einander gegenüberliegenden Druckzylindern in die Druckkammern verfahrbar aufgenommen ist, genügt an jedem Druckzylinder nur ein Führungselement, um die Plungerstange für die Verfahrbewegung zu führen. Darüber hinaus ist durch die beidseitige Lagerung der Plungerstange eine erhöhte Aufnahme der Spaltkräfte gegeben.Furthermore, a guide for the plunger rod is preferably provided between the sealing arrangement and the pressure chamber. This guidance can be made possible by an annular bushing or an annular bearing element, which guides the inward and outward movement of the plunger rod. By arranging the guide behind the plunger seal and the wiper element, this guide is protected against contamination entering the pressure cylinder and thus against damage. Characterized in that a guide is provided in each of the opposing pressure cylinders and the plunger rod in each of the opposing pressure cylinders in the pressure chambers is movably received, only one guide element on each pressure cylinder is sufficient to guide the plunger rod for the movement. In addition, an increased absorption of the splitting forces is given by the plunger rod being supported on both sides.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Stellantriebs sieht vor, dass eine Außenseite der Plungerstange beschichtet ist. Dadurch wird beispielsweise ein Korrosionsschutz geschaffen. Vorteilhafterweise ist eine Innenseite der Druckkammer des Druckzylinders beschichtet, um einen Korrosionsschutz und/oder einen Schutz von dem Steuermedium zu bilden. Als Steuermedium können sowohl Luft, Wasser, Öl oder eine sonstige gering kompressible oder inkompressible Flüssigkeit eingesetzt werden.Another advantageous embodiment of the actuator provides that an outside of the plunger rod is coated. This creates, for example, corrosion protection. An inside of the pressure chamber of the pressure cylinder is advantageously coated in order to provide corrosion protection and / or protection from the control medium. Air, water, oil or any other slightly compressible or incompressible liquid can be used as the control medium.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Montagemoduls sieht vor, dass zwei oder mehr Druckzylinder jeweils einem feststehenden Spaltwerkzeug zugeordnet sind, die gleichzeitig ansteuerbar sind. Dadurch kann bei gleicher Baulänge in Abhängigkeit der Anzahl der Druckzylinder eine Mehrfachbeaufschlagung der Kraft ermöglicht sein. Der Druckstempel greift dabei an jeder Plungerstange, die in einem Paar von einander gegenüberliegenden Druckzylindern geführt und angetrieben ist, an.A further advantageous embodiment of the assembly module provides that two or more pressure cylinders are each assigned to a fixed splitting tool, which can be controlled simultaneously. As a result, multiple loading of the force can be made possible with the same overall length, depending on the number of pressure cylinders. The pressure stamp acts on each plunger rod, which is guided and driven in a pair of opposing pressure cylinders.
Bevorzugt ist zwischen jedem Trägerprofil des Rahmens und dem dazwischen verfahrbar angeordneten Druckstempel eine Führungsanordnung vorgesehen. Diese Führungsanordnung umfasst vorzugsweise zumindest ein Führungselement, welches an jedem Trägerprofil angeordnet ist. Dieses Führungselement greift in eine Führungsnut am Druckstempel ein, wobei vorzugsweise das Führungselement zumindest zweiseitig, insbesondere dreiseitig, in der Führungsnut geführt ist. Durch eine solche Anordnung wird nicht nur ermöglicht, dass der Druckstempel geradlinig innerhalb der Spaltkammer hin und her verfahrbar ist, sondern dass gleichzeitig auch die während des Spaltvorgangs auf den Druckstempel wirkenden Spaltkräfte aufgenommen werden können. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht diese Führungsanordnung die Aufnahme von Querkräften während der Verfahrbewegung des Druckstempels innerhalb der Arbeitskammer.A guide arrangement is preferably provided between each support profile of the frame and the pressure stamp arranged movably therebetween. This guide arrangement preferably comprises at least one guide element which is arranged on each support profile. This guide element engages in a guide groove on the pressure ram, the guide element preferably being guided in the guide groove at least on two sides, in particular on three sides. Such an arrangement not only makes it possible for the pressure stamp to be moved back and forth in a straight line within the gap chamber, but also for the splitting forces acting on the pressure stamp during the splitting process to be absorbed at the same time. In addition, this guide arrangement enables the absorption of transverse forces during the movement of the pressure stamp within the working chamber.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung zum Spalten von Holz sieht vor, dass die Verfahrbewegung der Plungerstange durch eine Zweihandsteuerung mit zwei Bedienhebeln ansteuerbar und ein Ende der Verfahrbewegung durch eine Endabschaltung überwachbar ist. Eine solche Zweihandsteuerung weist den Vorteil auf, dass während eines Spaltvorganges der Benutzer die Bedienhebel betätigt, um eine Verletzungsgefahr zu vermeiden. Ein Ende der Verfahrbewegung der Plungerstange kann durch Lösen der Zweihandsteuerung durch den Bediener erfolgen. Sollte der Bediener jedoch nicht rechtzeitig die Bedienhebel los lassen, wird eine Endabschaltung aktiviert, durch welche die Verfahrbewegung abgeschalten oder der Benutzer darauf aufmerksam gemacht wird, dass der Druckstempel kurz vor dem Ende der Arbeitskammer steht. Beispielsweise kann die Endabschaltung dahingehend ausgebildet sein, dass diese ein vibrierendes oder rüttelndes Signal oder eine Gegenkraft auf die Bedienhebel erzeugt, die entgegen der Betätigungsrichtung zur Ansteuerung der Verfahrbewegung gerichtet ist.A further preferred embodiment of the device for splitting wood provides that the movement of the plunger rod can be controlled by a two-hand control with two operating levers and that an end of the movement can be monitored by a limit switch. Such a two-hand control has the advantage that the user actuates the operating levers during a splitting process in order to avoid the risk of injury. The operator can end the movement of the plunger rod by releasing the two-hand control. However, if the operator does not release the control lever in time, a limit switch is activated, by means of which the travel movement is switched off or the user is made aware that the pressure stamp is close to the end of the working chamber. For example, the limit switch can be designed in such a way that it generates a vibrating or shaking signal or a counterforce on the operating lever, which is directed against the direction of actuation for controlling the travel movement.
