202019000004572 filed on 16/12/2019 - The invention relates to a sanding machine for sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like.
- In the field of sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like, a sanding machine is known, which comprises a conveyor belt, which has an upper transport branch defining a substantially horizontal support surface for at least one panel and is designed to feed the panel in a first direction; a sanding device, which is mounted above the support surface so as to sand an upper face of the panel; and a detection device to detect a width of the panel in a second direction, which is parallel to the support surface and transverse to the first direction.
- The sanding device comprises an abrasive belt, which is wound in a ring shape around a plurality of idler rollers, and a plurality of thrust elements, which are distributed inside the abrasive belt in the second direction and are movable independently of one another in a third direction, which is orthogonal to the support surface, between respective lowered operating positions, in which the corresponding portions of abrasive belt are moved so as to come into contact with the upper face of the panel, and respective raised rest position, in which the corresponding portions of abrasive belt disengage the upper portion of the panel.
- The thrust elements are fixed to the output rods of respective pneumatic actuator cylinders and are selectively moved to their lowered operating position depending on the width of the panel and/or on the processing to be carried out.
- Each actuator cylinder comprises a cylinder, which is engaged by the relative output rod in a sliding manner and is divided by the output rod into an upper chamber and a lower chamber.
- The lower chamber can selectively be connected to a first pneumatic circuit through the interposition of a supply solenoid valve and the upper chamber is connected to a second pneumatic circuit in a continuous manner.
- As a consequence, each thrust element is normally arranged in its lowered operating position and is selectively moved to its raised rest portion following the activation of the relative supply solenoid valve.
- The actuator cylinder further comprises a first annular gasket, which is mounted on the output rod so as to separate the lower chamber from the upper chamber in a fluid-tight manner, a second annular gasket, which is mounted on the output rod so as to separate the upper chamber from the lower chamber in a fluid-tight manner, and a third annular gasket, which is mounted on the output rod so as to separate the lower chamber from the outside in a fluid-tight manner.
- The first annular gasket is a lip gasket designed to radially expand due to the thrust of the first pneumatic circuit and the second annular gasket is a lip gasket designed to radially expand due to the thrust of the second pneumatic circuit.
- The detection device normally comprises a plurality of contact rollers, which are distributed above the support surface in the second direction and are mounted so as to rotate around respective rotation axes, which are parallel to the second direction.
- Following the movement of the panel in the first direction, the contact rollers arranged inside the moving path of the panel are lifted from the panel so as to allow the detection device to detect the width of the panel in the second direction.
- Known sanding machines for sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like of the type described above are affected by some drawbacks, which are mainly due to the fact that each thrust element is moved to its lowered operating position by the air under pressure conveyed along the second pneumatic circuit, thus exerting one single, constant sanding force upon the panel and ensuring, as a consequence, to the sanding machine a relatively small flexibility.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a sanding machine for sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like, which does not suffer from the drawbacks described above and is simple and economic to be manufactured.
- According to the invention, there is provided a sanding machine for sanding/finishing panels made of wood, metal or the like according to the appended claims.

sanding machine 1 further comprises asanding unit 10 comprising, in turn, anabrasive belt 11, which is wound in a ring shape around a plurality of idler rollers 12 (in particular, three rollers 12), which are mounted so as to rotate around respectivelongitudinal axes 13 parallel to thedirection 9 and are arranged so as to give the belt 11 a substantially triangular configuration. - In particular, the arrangement of the
rollers 12 is such that thebelt 11 has alower branch 14, which is substantially flat and parallel to the plane P. - The
sanding machine 1 is further provided with adetection device 15, which is mounted above and on the input side of the surface P in order to detect a width of thepanel 2 in thedirection 9. - In particular, the device 15 a mechanical detection device comprising a plurality of
contact rollers 16, which are distributed above the plane P in thedirection 9 and are mounted so as to rotate aroundrespective rotation axes 17, which are parallel to thedirection 9. - Following the movement of the
panel 2 in thedirection 5, thecontact rollers 16 arranged inside the moving path of thepanel 2 are lifted from thepanel 2 so as to allow thedetection device 15 to detect the width of thepanel 2 in thedirection 9. - According to a variant which is not shown herein, the
rollers 16 are eliminated and replaced by a detection device which is not in contact with thepanels 2, for example an optical, inductive or capacitive device. - The
lower branch 14 of thebelt 11 is selectively moved so as to come into contact with anupper face 18 of thepanels 2 by athrust device 19, which is mounted inside thebelt 11. - The
device 19 comprises, in particular, a plurality ofthrust elements 20, which are distributed inside thebelt 11 in thedirection 9, are mounted above thebranch 14 and are movable independently of one another in avertical direction 21, which is orthogonal to thedirections - Each
element 20 is movable in thedirection 21 between a lowered operating position, in which the corresponding portion of thebelt 11 is moved so as to come into contact with theface 18, and a raised rest position, in which the corresponding portion of thebelt 11 is disengaged from theface 18. - According to
figure 2 , eachelement 20 is moved between its lowered operating position and its raised rest position by arelative actuator cylinder 22 comprising acylinder 23, which has a substantially verticallongitudinal axis 24 and is configured so as to define a wideupper portion 25 and a narrowlower portion 26. - The
element 20 has the shape of a plate fixed to the free end of anoutput rod 27 of theactuator cylinder 22 crosswise to theaxis 24 and is coupled to thecylinder 23, in a sliding and angularly fixed manner, by means of at least onecoupling pin 28 projecting upwards from theelement 20 parallel to thedirection 21. - The
rod 27 is engaged in the narrowlower portion 26 in a sliding manner and coaxially to theaxis 24, projects downwards from thecylinder 23 in thedirection 21 and is provided with aplate 29, which is engaged in the wideupper portion 25 in a sliding manner and divides thecylinder 23 into anupper chamber 30 and alower chamber 31. - The
chamber 30 is continuously connected to a first pneumatic circuit (not shown), which is configured to feed compressed air at a first pressure into thechamber 30, or to a second pneumatic circuit (not shown), which is configured to feed compressed air at a second pressure, which is different from the first pressure, into thechamber 30. - The
chamber 30 is selectively connected to the first pneumatic circuit or to the second pneumatic circuit by means of asupply solenoid valve 32 so as to selectively control the sanding force exerted by theelement 20 and, hence, by thebelt 11 upon thepanels 2. - The
chamber 31 can selectively be connected, by means of asupply solenoid valve 33, to a third pneumatic circuit (not shown), which is configured to feed compressed air into thechamber 31 and move theelement 20 to its raised rest position. - With regard to the description above, it should be pointed out that the pressure of the compressed air fed into the
chamber 30 is, in any case, smaller than the pressure of the compressed air fed into thechamber 31. - The
actuator cylinder 22 further comprises a firstannular gasket 34, which is mounted on therod 27 so as to separate thechamber 30 from thechamber 31 in a fluid-tight manner, a secondannular gasket 35, which is mounted on therod 27 so as to separate thechamber 31 from thechamber 30 in a fluid-tight manner, and a thirdannular gasket 36, which is mounted on therod 27 so as to separate thechamber 31 from the outside in a fluid-tight manner. - The
gasket 34 is a lip gasket, which is designed to radially expand due to the thrust of the compressed air fed into thechamber 30 by the first pneumatic circuit (not shown) or by the second pneumatic circuit (not shown), and thegasket 35 is a lip gasket, which is designed to radially expand due to the thrust of the compressed air fed into thechamber 31 by the third pneumatic circuit (not shown). - The
solenoid valve 33 is normally arranged in an opening position, in which the compressed air fed into thechamber 31 exerts, upon therod 27, a pneumatic force that is greater than the sum of a pneumatic force exerted upon therod 27 by the compressed air fed intochamber 30 and of a friction force exerted upon therod 27 by thegaskets - In use:
- when the
solenoid valve 33 is open, theelement 20 is moved to its raised rest position; and - when the
solenoid valve 33 is energized and moved to a closing position, thechamber 31 is connected to the outside, the pneumatic force generated by thechamber 31 is substantially zero, the friction force generated by thegaskets element 20 is moved from its raised rest position to its lowered operating position by the compressed air fed into thechamber 30. - In other words, when the
solenoid valve 33 is closed, compressed air is fed to thesole chamber 30 and, therefore, theelement 20 is moved to its lowered operating position with a relatively small pneumatic force, which is greater than the relatively small friction force exerted upon therod 27 by thegaskets - The
machine 1 is further provided with anelectronic control unit 37, which communicates with therollers 16 and with thesolenoid valves actuator cylinder 22. - The
unit 37 is configured so as to receive, from therollers 16, information concerning the detection of the width of eachpanel 2 in thedirection 9 and so as to control the operation of thesolenoid valve 32 in order to select the sanding force exerted by eachthrust element 20 upon the corresponding portion ofabrasive belt 11.
