Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an assembly for applying an anti-adhesive liquid on the edge of a panel and machine including such assembly.
- More specifically, the invention relates to an assembly for the application of anti-adhesive liquid, made in particular in a machining center equipped with a banding unit.
- In the following the description will be addressed to an assembly for the application of anti-adhesive liquid used on woodworking machining centers equipped with a banding unit, but it is clear that the same should not be considered limited to this specific use.
- As is well known in the wood panel-machining sector, these panels, after being cut, require the application, by gluing, of a finishing edge on the side face on which the cutting took place.
- During the application of the glue on said side face of the panel, for example by means of a roller, it may happen that part of the excess glue goes on the two upper and lower faces of the panel, adjacent to the side face to be edged.
- This excess glue is subsequently removed due to a specific glue-scraping unit. However, the operation of removing the glue from the two upper and lower faces of the panel can be difficult, in addition to ruining the panel.
- To ease this operation, before applying the glue, an anti-adhesive liquid is dispensed on said two upper and lower faces near the face to be edged, which prevents the adhesion of the excess glue.
- In machining centers, the panel, constrained on a work surface, is subjected to various processes thanks to the movement of a machining head, arranged on a crosspiece, which can support, one at a time, the different tools or assemblies, depending on the machining or operation to be carried out on the piece. Said tools or assemblies when not in use, are arranged in a magazine.
- For the application of the anti-adhesive liquid, an assembly is used which has two nozzles arranged respectively facing the upper and lower face of the panel adjacent the face to be edged, so as to deliver anti-adhesive liquid by spraying on them.
- The distance between these two nozzles, in general, must be manually adjusted by an operator according to the panel thickness.
- It is clear that this manual procedure, to be carried out every time the thickness of a panel to be machined changes, has a negative impact on processing times, as well as being expensive in terms of commitment of an operator.
- A further technical problem of the aforementioned assembly is that during the nebulization of the anti-adhesive liquid on the two upper and lower faces of the panel adjacent the face to be edged, said liquid can also be accidentally atomized on said face to be edged, thus not allowing perfect adhesion of the glue and therefore of the edge to be applied.
- To overcome this problem, it is known to use air blowers to divert the flow of the anti-adhesive liquid only on the desired panel face. However, this solution is not very reliable and does not completely avoid the presence of anti-adhesive liquid on the side face to be edged. In fact, often, before applying the glue, it is necessary to grind the face itself using a milling tool. This implies an additional tool change, which will adversely affect the machining times.
- In the relevant prior art flow banding machines are also comprised, in which, in this case, the panel is worked by the different groups, while it is moved by means of conveyor systems, such as for example belts or roller conveyors.
- In such machines, the working sequence is as follows:
- application of anti-adhesive liquid by spray nozzles or by roller;
- adjustment of the face on which the border will be applied;
- glue application;
- application of the edge;
- sizing of the edge.
- In case of the anti-adhesive liquid is delivered to the panel by means of nebulizing nozzles, the technical problem of the accidental delivery on the face to be edged represents a less significant problem than the case discussed above of the machining center, since, during the passage of the panel, grinding is carried out without appreciable additional processing times.
- In the case of the application of anti-adhesive liquid through rollers, on the other hand, the anti-adhesive liquid is applied on the panel by means of two rollers, each one of which applies the anti-adhesive by contact on the upper or lower surface, near the side surface to be banded.
- Said two rollers are wet by the anti-adhesive liquid, for example by nebulization, through two respective nozzles, and the contact of said rollers with the panel is guaranteed by the action of springs.
- The distance between said two rollers must be manually adjusted by an operator according to the thickness of the panel. This manual adjustment procedure, to be carried out whenever the thickness of a panel to be worked varies, negatively affects the machining times.
- In the light of the above, it is therefore an object of the present invention to propose an assembly for applying anti-adhesive liquid that can be used on a machining center with a banding unit, which allows automatic adjustment of the means for dispensing said liquid according to the thickness of the panel.
- Another object of the invention is to avoid the accidental delivery of anti-adhesive liquid on the face of the panel, on which the glue and subsequently the band have to be applied.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide the tools necessary for the execution of the method and the apparatuses, which perform this method.
- It is therefore specific object of the present invention an assembly for applying an anti-adhesive liquid to a workpiece, preferably a panel intended to the application of an edge, wherein said assembly is movable, in use, with respect to said panel, and wherein said assembly comprises a fixing interface for coupling with an electrospindle along a reference axis, and at least one applicating member for applying said anti-adhesive liquid on at least a portion of a face of said panel, characterized in that it comprises at least one dispenser of said anti-adhesive liquid for dispensing said anti-adhesive liquid on said at least one applicating member.

- Further according to the invention, said at least one applicating member may be a roller.
- Preferably according to the invention, said at least one dispenser may comprise at least a nozzle, for nebulizing said anti-adhesive liquid on the respective applicating member.
- Advantageously according to the invention, said assembly may comprise a frame, a lower support element, to support said first applicating member and said first dispenser, an upper support element, to support said second applicating member and said second dispenser, and a guide coupled with said frame and arranged in parallel with respect to a direction, preferably parallel to said reference axis, wherein said lower support element and/or said upper support element are slidingly coupled with said guide.

- Advantageously according to the invention, said assembly may comprise a first spring interposed between said lower support element and said first applicating member and/or a second spring interposed between said upper support element and said second applicating member.
- Preferably according to the invention, said assembly may comprise said first spring placed between said stem and said lower support element and/or it comprises said second spring interposed between said stem and said upper support element.
- Further according to the invention, said at least one dispenser may comprise at least a tank installed on said frame containing said anti-adhesive liquid, wherein said tank is configured to refill said at least one dispenser and/or at least one applicating member.
- Always according to the invention, said at least one applicating member may be at least partially immersed in said tank, so that said at least one applicating member is wet with said liquid.
- Still according to the invention, said assembly may comprise a duct for supplying said at least one dispenser of said anti-adhesive liquid, wherein said duct is connectable to a remote tank.
- Advantageously according to the invention, said assembly may comprise a sensor for monitoring the amount of anti-adhesive liquid contained in said tank or in said remote tank.

processing unit 22 comprises acrossbar 221, which extends in length along a Y-axis orthogonal to said X-axis. - Said
processing unit 22 further comprises anoperating head 222, slidingly coupled to saidcrossbar 221 along said Y-axis by means of guidingmeans 225. - Said operating
head 222 comprises in turn anelectrospindle 224. - Said
electrospindle 224 can be oriented in the space by said operatinghead 222 and is equipped with a socket for locking the different types of machining tools and other devices, including also theassembly 1 for the application of the anti-adhesive liquid described below. Saidmobile processing unit 22 further comprises abanding unit 223, also slidingly coupled with saidcrossbar 221 along said Y-axis, independently of said operatinghead 222 and by means of said guidingmeans 225. - Referring to
figures 3-6 , anassembly 1 is observed for the application of anti-adhesive liquid according to the present invention, usable on machining centers equipped with a banding unit. - Said
assembly 1 for the application of anti-adhesive liquid essentially comprises a fixinginterface 10, for coupling with saidelectrospindle unit 224 along a reference axis A, at least oneapplicating member - In the embodiment shown, said
assembly 1 comprises a first 131 and a second 132 contact applicator member, in particular a first and a second roller, and a first 11 and a second 12 spraying dispenser means, in particular a first 121 and asecond nozzle 122 for spraying the anti-adhesive liquid on saidrollers - In another embodiment, not shown in the figures, said first 131 and second 132 rollers are partially immersed in a respective tank containing said anti-adhesive liquid, so as to allow the transfer of the anti-adhesive liquid from each of said tanks to said first 131 and second 132 roller.
- Said
assembly 1 comprises aframe 14, which in turn comprises alower support element 141 and anupper support element 142 to support said first 131 and second 132 roller and said first 121 and second 122 nozzle, respectively. Saidframe 14 also comprises anabutment element 144, arranged parallel to said reference axis a, and aguide 143 arranged parallel to said reference axis A. - Said
upper support element 142 is slidably coupled to saidguide 143, so as to allow the movement of saidsecond roller 132. - In a further embodiment (not shown in the figures) said
lower support element 141 can be slidably coupled to saidguide 143. Still according to a further embodiment, both saidsupport elements guide 143. - Furthermore said
assembly 1 comprises anactuator 15, of pneumatic, electric or hydraulic type, for moving, along a direction parallel to said reference axis A, said first 131 and/or said second 132 roller, so as to adapt its position when they are in contact with the panel P to be banded, according to the thickness of the latter. - Said
actuator 15, which in the embodiment shown is of the pneumatic type, comprises a cylinder (not visible in the figures) and astem 151. - Said
pneumatic actuator 15 is configured to allow saidsecond roller 132 to move along said direction parallel to said reference axis A. - More precisely, said
pneumatic actuator 15 causes the movement of saidupper support element 142 along saidguide 143. - Said
assembly 1 further comprises afirst spring 17, associated with thefirst roller 131 and arranged on saidlower support element 141, and adapted, by working in compression, to guarantee the contact between saidfirst roller 131 and the lower face P1 of said panel P, on which applying the anti-adhesive liquid. - However, due to the internal friction between said cylinder and said
rod 151, said pneumatic actuator may not always guarantee optimal contact between saidsecond roller 132, and the upper face P2 of said panel P in case of variations in thickness of the same panel P. - To compensate for any changes in thickness of said panel P, said
stem 151 comprises asecond spring 18 associated with it and arranged on saidupper support element 142. - Said
assembly 1 is also equipped with atank 16 of anti-adhesive liquid, preferably installed on saidsupport frame 14 of saidassembly 1, to supply said dispensing means 11, 12 with anti-adhesive liquid. - In another embodiment, said
tank 16 is remote with respect to saidassembly 1 and feeds said dispensing means 11, 12 through a conduit (not shown in the figures). - Said
tank 16 can comprise a sensor for monitoring the quantity of anti-adhesive liquid in the same. - The operation of the
assembly 1 for dispensing the anti-adhesive liquid described above is as follows. - An operator loads a panel P to be worked on the working
plane 21 of saidmachine 2, locking it to the same by means of the blockingsystem 23. - Once the panel P is blocked, the
processing unit 22 translates along said workingplane 21, in the direction of the X-axis, until thecrossbar 221 is above said panel P. The operatinghead 222 thus positions itself close to said panel P along the direction of the Y-axis, thanks to the movement along the guiding means 225. - Said panel P is then subjected to the various cutting and/or milling processes by means of a processing tool supported and operated by the
electrospindle 224, arranged on the operatinghead 222, and oriented in the space thanks to the movements of saidhead 222. - For example, once the cutting operations are ended, said panel P, before being banded with the
banding unit 223 on the side P3, where the cutting took place, is subjected to the application of anti-adhesive liquid on the two faces, upper P2 and lower P1, adjacent to the lateral face P3 to be banded. - The
head 222 stores the machining tool previously used for cutting in the specific magazine and from it takes theassembly 1, which is equipped with aninterface 10 for coupling with theelectrospindle 224. - At this point, with the methods described above for the cutting operations on the panel P, the head is repositioned close the panel P bringing the
assembly 1 laterally close to the face P3 of the panel P to be banded, thanks to theabutment element 144. - Subsequently, the
spring 17 is loaded and saidfirst roller 131 is brought into contact with the lower face P1 of the panel P. - The
pneumatic actuator 15 is then activated, which moves theupper support element 142, and consequently thesecond roller 132, in a direction parallel to said reference axis A, along theguide 143, until saidsecond roller 132 comes into contact with the upper face P2 of the panel P. - At this point, the
spring 18, working in compression, guarantees an optimal contact between saidsecond roller 132 and the upper face P2 of the panel P. - Subsequently the first 121 and the second 122 nozzle nebulize the anti-adhesive liquid taken from the
tank 16 on the first 131 and second 132 roller respectively. - Finally, thanks to the movement of the operating
head 222 and/or theprocessing unit 22, theassembly 1 translates along the direction where the band must be applied, so that said first 131 and second 132 rollers, rolling respectively on said lower and top face of the panel P, apply the anti-adhesive liquid. - Once the operations for the application of liquid anti-adhesive are completed, the panel P is subjected to the banding machining by means of said
banding unit 223. - An advantage of the present invention is that of reducing the working times and the workload on the operator, allowing an automatic adjustment of the means for dispensing said liquid according to the thickness of the panel.
- Another advantage of the invention is that of avoiding the accidental detachment of the band due to the accidental delivery of anti-adhesive liquid on the lateral face P3 of the panel, on which the glue and subsequently the band have to be applied.
- A further advantage of the present invention is that of avoiding a milling process on the band of the panel to be banded, subsequent to the application of anti-adhesive liquid, thus positively influencing the processing times.
- The present invention has been described for illustrative but not limitative purposes, according to its preferred embodiments, but it is to be understood that modifications and/or changes can be introduced by those skilled in the art without departing from the relevant scope as defined in the enclosed claims.
