Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、押出成形により押出成形品を製造する押出成形品製造装置に関する。
【0002】
【背景の技術】
近年、合成樹脂成形物に天然木材に近い表面特性を付与し、各種の家具や日用品或いは住宅の内装部材として使用する試みが為されている。
このような技術として、PCT Jp94/00351号(国際公開番号;WO94/20280号)に記載された「セルロース系微粉粒、木質様成形品および木質様製品」がある。
【0003】
前記公知技術は、原料としてのセルロース材を粉砕して得た粉砕粉を磨砕処理して嵩比重を高めた粉粒とし、この粉粒の外周面に、該粉粒よりも小径でかつ硬い表面粒を固定させて固定粒とし、この固定粒に樹脂および顔料を混合し、かつ溶融させ、その後または溶融と同時に押出成形または射出成形により所望形状に成形する。すると、天然の木目に極めて近い模様を表面に有し、しかも手触り感等の風合いも天然の木に近い木質様製品を製造することが出来る。
ところで、上記木質様製品は押出成形後、更に表面塗装処理が行われ、次いで乾燥処理がなされる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の押出成形による木質様製品製造用装置(押出成形品製造装置)においては、塗装工程までは連続して行っていたが、乾燥工程については別個のラインとしていた。
従って、塗装工程終了後の木質様製品を、別途、乾燥装置まで搬送しなければならずその作業が煩雑となって作業効率が悪いという問題点があった。
また、乾燥工程は、他の工程に比べてある程度の時間を必要とするため塗装工程に連続させると、必要な乾燥時間を確保するため乾燥装置自体を大きくしなければならならず木質様製品製造用装置を設置するための敷地面積を多大に必要としたり、逆に、乾燥装置の大きさに応じて押出速度を設定すると、場合によっては押出成形機の性能を十分に生かし切れず生産効率が落ちてしまうという問題もある。
【0005】
本発明は上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであって、押出成形加工により成形された押出成形品の製造工程における乾燥工程を連続化して作業効率性に優れた押出成形品製造装置とするとともに、乾燥装置を連続して設けても装置設置効率および生産効率を低下させることがない押出成形品製造装置を提供することを目的とする
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、請求項1記載の発明は、例えば、図1〜図4に示すように、押出成形により押出成形品Sを製造する押出成形品製造装置1において、押出成形品Sを製造するための原料を供給する原料供給部2(例えば、ホッパ)と、前記原料供給部2から供給された原料を加熱溶融して押出成形を行う押出成形機3と、前記押出成形機3によって押出成形された押出成形品Sを所定の長さで切断する切断装置4と、前記切断装置4によって切断された押出成形品Sを塗装する塗装装置5と、前記塗装装置5によって塗装された押出成形品Sを乾燥する乾燥装置6と、を備え、前記乾燥装置6は、所定の乾燥状態に制御された乾燥領域部61と、前記塗装装置5から前記乾燥領域部61に前記押出成形品Sを搬入する搬入部62と、前記搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sを順次保持し、予め定められた閉軌道を移動して、再び前記搬入部62に戻るように構成された複数の移動保持部63…と、前記移動保持部63…を移動させる移動手段7、67(例えば、駆動機構部、ループチェーン)と、前記移動保持部63…が移動する前記閉軌道上に設けられ、前記移動保持部63…に保持された前記押出成形品Sを搬出する搬出部64と、を備え、前記移動保持部63…が移動する前記閉軌道は、下水平移動、上移動、上水平移動、下移動を交互に行う軌道であり、前記移動保持部63…の送りピッチが、前記押出成形機3による1個当たりの押出成形品Sの製造ピッチと同期しており、前記原料の供給から押出成形品Sの乾燥まで連続して処理することを特徴としている。
【0007】
請求項1記載の発明によれば、押出成形を行う押出成形品製造装置1の原料供給部2から供給された原料が押出成形機3によって加熱溶融されて押出成形され、この押出成形品Sが切断装置4によって所定の長さに切断され、切断装置4によって切断された押出成形品Sが塗装装置5により塗装され、塗装装置5によって塗装された押出成形品Sが連続して乾燥装置6により乾燥され、押出成形品Sの製造が原料投入から押出成形品Sの乾燥まで連続処理することが出来るので、従来の乾燥装置が別個に設けられたものに比べて、作業効率が大幅に向上する。
また、乾燥装置6の乾燥領域部61に押出成形品Sが塗装装置5から搬入され、この押出成形品Sが順次保持されて、予め定められた閉軌道を移動して、再び前記搬入部62に戻るように構成された移動保持部63…の送りピッチが、押出成形機3による1個当たりの押出成形品Sの製造ピッチとが同期されているので、押出成形品Sの製造ピッチに合わせて、搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sが順次移動保持部63…に保持され、一定の期間、乾燥領域部61に滞留させた後、再び同じ場所に戻すことが出来ることとなって、搬入部62に搬送された押出成形品Sの乾燥処理を連続的に行うことができる。即ち、移動保持部63…は、押出成形品Sの製造ピッチに同期して送りピッチが設定されているので、この移動保持部63…に押出成形品Sを順次保持させて移動させることができることとなって、移動保持部63…に保持された押出成形品Sを循環移動中に連続的に乾燥させることが出来る。また、移動保持部63…は、閉軌道に沿って循環移動するので、乾燥装置6自体をコンパクトにすることが出来ることとなって押出成形品製造装置1を設置するための敷地面積をあまり広くとる必要がないとともに、生産効率も落とすことなく押出成形品Sの乾燥工程を含めた製造を連続して行うことが出来る。
また、移動保持部63…が移動する軌道上に設けられた搬出部64によって移動保持部63…に保持された押出成形品Sが搬出されるので、押出成形品Sを保持した移動保持部63…は搬入部62に戻ったときには空になることとなって、更に乾燥工程が連続化されて装置全体の自動化を図ることが出来る。
更に、移動保持部63…が移動する閉軌道は、下水平移動、上移動、上水平移動、下移動を交互に行う軌道であるので、移動保持部63…の移動スペースとして上下方向も利用出来ることとなって空間利用効率性に優れた乾燥装置6とすることが出来る。
【0008】
ここで、押出成形機3は、例えば、木粉等からなるセルロース系微粉末と、樹脂と、顔料を混合し、この混合材料を溶融したものを押出すためのものや、通常の樹脂成形用のものが挙げられるが、これに限るものではなく、セラミックの原料粉末や金属等を押し出すためのものや、モルタル等を押出すためのもの等でもよい。
塗装装置5は、スプレー式のものであってもよいし、或いはドブ漬けするものであってもよい。
【0011】
また、移動保持部は、例えば、図3、4に示すように、押出成形品Sを載置部66に載置させて保持するものであってもよいし、或いは押出成形品Sを掴んで保持するものであってもよく、押出成形品Sを保持して移動出来るものであればどのようなものであってもよい。
【0016】
請求項記載の発明は、請求項記載の押出成形品製造装置1において、前記移動保持部63…は、押出成形品Sの長手方向に長尺な支持棒65と、前記支持棒65に長手方向に沿って所定の間隔で回動自在に設けられ、前記押出成形品Sを載置する載置部66と、を備えたことを特徴としている。
【0017】
請求項記載の発明によれば、請求項記載の発明と同様の効果が得られることは無論のこと、特に、移動保持部63…を構成する押出成形品の支持棒65に長手方向に沿って所定の間隔で回動自在に設けられた載置部66に、押出成形品Sが載置されるので、押出成形品Sが確実に保持されて移動出来るとともに、比較的簡易な構造のものによって構成されることとなって移動保持部63…を安価にさせることが出来る。
【0018】
請求項記載の発明は、請求項記載の押出成形品製造装置1において、前記移動手段は、前記支持棒65の長手方向両端部65a、65aがそれぞれ回動自在に支持された2つのループチェーン67、67と、該2つのループチェーン67、67を同期させて駆動させる駆動機構部7と、を備えたことを特徴としている。
【0019】
請求項記載の発明によれば、請求項記載の発明と同様の効果が得られることは無論のこと、特に、支持棒65の長手方向両端部65a、65aがそれぞれ回動自在に支持された2つのループチェーン67、67が駆動機構部7によって同期されて駆動するので、ループチェーン67、67の軌道に沿って移動保持部63…が移動することとなって、移動保持部63…を容易に移動させることが出来る。
【0022】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図を参照して本発明に係る押出成形品製造装置およびこの押出成形品製造装置を用いた押出成形品製造方法の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。
図1は、本発明に係る押出成形品製造装置の構成を示すブロック図である。
【0023】
図1に示す押出成形品製造装置1は、原料としての生地材ペレットと木質様形成材ペレットとを所定比で混合し、該ペレット混合物を押出成形により所望形状に成形するもので、具体的には住宅における回り縁や幅木、床材、壁材、家具等に使用されるものなどを成形する装置である。
前記押出成形品製造装置1は、前記原料を供給する原料供給部としてのホッパ2と、前記ホッパ2から供給された原料を加熱溶融して押出成形を行う押出成形機3と、前記押出成形機3によって押出成形された押出成形品を所定の長さで切断する切断装置4と、前記切断装置4によって切断された押出成形品を塗装する塗装装置5と、前記塗装装置5によって塗装された押出成形品を乾燥する乾燥装置6等、により概略構成されている。
【0024】
続いて前記各主要構成を図2〜図4を用いて説明する。
図2は、本発明に用いられるホッパと押出成形機の一例を示した側面図である。図3は、本発明に係る乾燥装置の一例を示した正面図であり、図4は、同側面図である。
図2に示すように、前記ホッパ2は、前記押出成形機3の後端部に設けられた第1のホッパ21と、この第1のホッパ21よりも前方に設けられた第2のホッパ22からなり、各ホッパ21、22にはそれぞれ異なる種類の原料が投入され、その混合比率によって押出成形品の色調を変化させることが出来るようになっている。
ここで原料としての生地材ペレットは、例えば、樹脂と顔料と各種の添加剤(例えば、熱安定剤)等が混合されペレット化されたものが用いられる。
また、木質様形成ペレットは、セルロース系微粉粒を主成分とし、これに顔料や各種の添加剤が混合されペレット化されたものである。
【0025】
前記押出成形機3は、例えば、ベンド式押出成形機を用いる。この押出成形機は、図2に示すように、円筒状のシリンダ31とこのこの内部に設けられたスクリュー32と、シリンダ31の中央部先端側に形成されたベント孔33と、シリンダ31の先端に設けられてペレット溶融物に所望する形状を付与するダイ34とを備えている。
前記ベント孔33には前記第2のホッパ22が連通して連結されている。
そして、第1のホッパ21から供給されたペレットは、シリンダ31内に投入され、ここで加熱溶融されつつスクリュー32によって前方に押し出される。また、第2のホッパ22から供給されたペレットはベント孔33を通ってシリンダ31内に投入され、加熱溶融され、スクリュー32によって第1のホッパ21から供給されたペレットと混合されてダイ34から押し出され、所望する形状に成形された押出成形品が製造されるようになっている。
【0026】
また、この押出成形機3に連続して、押出成形品を水等により冷却させる冷却装置35と、冷却された押出成形品の形状を整えるレベラーなどの形状調整装置36を通過した後、切断装置4で切断されるようになっている。
前記切断装置4は、図示しないが、ローラコンベアと、カッタ部と、該カッタ部を押出成形品の押出速度に同期して移動するカッタ移動部などを備え、ローラコンベア上の押出成形品の移動に合わせながら押出成形品を所定の長さで切断することが出来るようになっている。
【0027】
前記塗装装置5は、例えば、切断された押出成形品の表面光沢を出すためのものであって、前記切断装置4のローラコンベア(図示省略)と連結されたローラコンベア(図示省略)と、複数のノズル(図示省略)とを備え、ローラコンベアを移動する押出成形品に対しノズルから塗装剤を塗布するようになっている。
【0028】
前記乾燥装置6は、所定の乾燥状態に制御された乾燥領域部61と、前記乾燥領域部61に前記押出成形品を前記塗装装置5から搬入する搬入部62と、前記搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sを順次保持し、予め定められた閉軌道を移動して、再び前記搬入部62に戻るように構成された複数の移動保持部63…と、前記移動保持部63…の閉軌道上であって前記搬入部62と同一高さ位置に設けられ前記移動保持部63…に保持された押出成形品を搬出させる搬出部64と、などを備えている。
前記乾燥領域部61は、例えば、周囲が壁61aで覆われ、内部に前記移動保持部63を収納可能に構成され、該乾燥領域部61内は、図示しない空気調整装置により所定の乾燥状態に保持されるようになっている。
前記搬入部62は、ローラコンベア62a…により構成されていて、該ローラコンベア62aは前記塗装装置5と連結されていて、塗装された押出成形品が自動的に該搬入部62に搬送されるようになっている。
【0029】
前記移動保持部63…は、長手方向に長尺な支持棒65と、この支持棒65の下端部に長手方向に沿って所定の間隔で回動自在に吊り下げられ押出成形品を載置する載置部66と、を備えている。
前記支持棒65の長手方向両端部65a、65aは、ループチェーン67、67に回動自在に支持されて取り付けられている。
前記載置部66は、正面形状が略三角形状となっていて、その底面部66aに前記押出成形品Sを載せて保持することが出来るようになっている。
【0030】
前記ループチェーン67は、乾燥領域部61内の壁61aに沿って略矩形状の閉軌道を形成し、ループチェーン67の4隅の内側には、ループチェーン67と噛合して回動する回動子68…が壁に設けられている。
更に、この回動子68…を回動させて、回動子68…と噛合するループチェーン67、67を駆動させることにより前記移動保持部63を移動させる駆動機構部7として、4つの回動子68…のうちの一の回動子68aを、モータ69と、該モータ69のモータ軸69aの回転を回動子軸68bに伝達する伝達チェーン70とによって回転させる機構が設けられている。
【0031】
前記モータ69は、図示しない制御部による移動制御によって、所定に時間経過後、所定の距離だけ移動保持部63…を移動させることが出来るようになっている。
そして、前記駆動機構部7によって一の回動子68aが回転することにより、この回動子68aと噛合されたループチェーン67が4つの回動子68…に沿って、下水平移動と、上移動、上水平移動、下移動を交互に行うループ移動するようになっている。
また、2つのループチェーン67、67は同期して移動するようになっているので、移動保持部63…もループチェーン67、67の移動に連動して移動するようになっている。
従って、例えば、前記押出成形機3による押出成形品の1個当たりの製造ピッチに、移動保持部63…の移動ピッチを同期させることが出来るようになっている。
【0032】
ここで、支持棒65はループチェーン67、67に回動自在に支持され、同じく載置部66は支持棒65に回動自在に支持されているので、ループチェーン67、67がその軌道上を移動した場合に、載置部66に押出成形品Sを載置する底面部66aは常に水平を保持することが出来るようになっている。
【0033】
また、前記搬入部62のローラコンベア62a…は、ループチェーン67の上移動、或いは下移動する上下移動部67aの直下に設けられ、そのローラコンベア62a…の高さ位置は、下水平移動中の載置部66の底面部66aの高さ位置よりも高く、且つ載置部66とループチェーン67との取付高さ位置よりも低い位置に設定されている。そして、載置部66がローラ62aとローラ62aの間の隙間を通るように設計されている。
従って、ローラ62a間の隙間に載置部66が位置した場合に、前記塗装装置5から押出成形品Sが載置部66の底面部66aの上のローラ62a…上に搬送され、次いで、載置部66がループチェーン67の軌道に従って上移動する際、ローラ62a…上の押出成形品Sを持ち上げて底面部66aに載置するようになっている。
【0034】
前記搬出部64のローラコンベア64aは、前記搬入部62が直下に設けられた上下移動部67aと異なるもう一方の上下移動部67bの直下に設けられ、そのローラコンベア64aの高さ位置は、下水平移動中の載置部66の底面部66aの高さ位置よりも高く、且つ載置部66とループチェーン67との取付高さ位置よりも低い位置に設定されている。そして、載置部66がローラ64aとローラ64aの間の隙間を通るように設計されている。
従って、搬出部64側では、下移動して載置部66の底面部66aが搬出部64のローラ64aより下に移動しようとするとき、底面部66aからローラ64aに押出成形品Sが移載され、次いで、ローラ64aに移載された押出成形品Sをローラ64aの回転によって乾燥装置6外に搬送させることにより、押出成形品Sの搬出処理を行うことが出来るようになっている。
【0035】
続いて、上記説明した押出成形品製造装置1による押出成形品製造の一連の動作について説明する。
まず、第1のホッパ21、第2のホッパ22に押出成形品Sを製造するためのペレットが押出成形機3に投入されると、第1のホッパ21から供給されたペレットは、シリンダ31内に投入され、ここで加熱溶融されつつスクリュー32によって前方に押し出される。また、第2のホッパ22から供給されたペレットはベント孔33を通ってシリンダ31内に投入され、加熱溶融され、スクリュー32によって第1のホッパ21から供給されたペレットと混合されてダイ34から押し出され、所望する形状に成形された押出成形品Sが製造される。
【0036】
次いで、冷却装置35により押出成形品Sが水等により冷却され、冷却された押出成形品Sは形状調整装置36によって形状調整がなされる。
続いて、切断装置4によりローラコンベア(図示省略)上の押出成形品Sの移動に合わせながら押出成形品Sが所定の長さで切断される。
切断装置4によって切断された押出成形品Sは塗装装置5により塗装された後、塗装された押出成形品Sが乾燥領域部61の搬入部62に搬入される。
このとき、乾燥領域部61に搬入されるタイミングは、移動保持部63の載置部66が搬入部62のローラ62a間に位置しているときとなるように予め設定されている。
そして、搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sは、移動保持部63が上移動することによって、載置部66の底面部66aに載置され、そのままループチェーン67の軌道に沿って移動される。
【0037】
次いで、所定の時間経過後、載置部66に押出成形品Sを載置した移動保持部63が下移動して底面部66aが搬出部64のローラ64aより下に移動しようとするとき、底面部66aからローラ64aに押出成形品Sが移載される。
続いて、ローラ64aに移載された押出成形品Sはローラ64aの回転によって乾燥装置6外に搬送される。
そして、空になった移動保持部63は、下水平移動して再び、搬入部62に移動し、ここで新たに塗装装置5から搬送されてきた押出成形品Sを載置する。
【0038】
以上説明した本発明に係る押出成形品製造装置1によれば、押出成形を行う押出成形品製造装置1のホッパ2から供給された原料が押出成形機3によって加熱溶融されて押出成形され、この押出成形品Sが切断装置4によって所定の長さに切断され、切断装置4によって切断された押出成形品Sが塗装装置5により塗装され、塗装装置5によって塗装された押出成形品Sが乾燥領域部61の搬入部62に搬入され、搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sが順次保持され、移動保持部63…の送りピッチが、押出成形機3による1個当たりの押出成形品Sの製造ピッチと同期させて行われる。
従って、押出成形品Sの製造が原料投入から押出成形品Sの乾燥まで連続処理することが出来て作業効率が大幅に向上するとともに、場所効率に優れた乾燥装置6を組み入れることにより全体の装置が長くなって場所効率を損なうことなく連続処理することが出来る。
【0039】
特に、乾燥装置6の乾燥領域部61に押出成形品Sが塗装装置5から搬入され、この押出成形品Sが順次保持されて、予め定められた閉軌道を移動して、再び前記搬入部62に戻るように構成された移動保持部63…の送りピッチが、押出成形機3による1個当たりの押出成形品Sの製造ピッチとが同期されているので、押出成形品Sの製造ピッチに合わせて、搬入部62に搬入された押出成形品Sが順次移動保持部63…に保持され、一定の期間、乾燥領域部61に滞留させた後、搬出部64から搬出することが出来ることとなって、搬入部62に搬送された押出成形品Sの乾燥処理を連続的に行うことができる。
また、移動保持部63…は、閉軌道に沿って循環移動するので、乾燥装置6自体をコンパクトにすることが出来ることとなって押出成形品製造装置1を設置するための敷地面積をあまり広くとる必要がないとともに、生産効率も落とすことなく押出成形品Sの乾燥工程を含めた製造を連続して行うことが出来る。
【0040】
更に、移動保持部63…を構成する押出成形品の支持棒65に長手方向に沿って所定の間隔で回動自在に設けられた載置部66に、押出成形品Sが載置されるので、押出成形品Sが確実に保持されて移動出来るとともに、比較的簡易な構造のものによって構成されることとなって移動保持部63…を安価にさせることが出来る。
また、支持棒65の長手方向両端部65a、65aがそれぞれ回動自在に支持された2つのループチェーン67、67が駆動機構部によって同期されて駆動するので、ループチェーン67、67の軌道に沿って移動保持部63…が移動することとなって、移動保持部63…を容易に移動させることが出来る。
【0041】
なお、乾燥装置6は、上記実施の形態に示したものに限るものではなく、押出成形品を掴んで保持するものであってもよい。
【0042】
【発明の効果】
請求項1記載の発明によれば、押出成形を行う押出成形品製造装置の原料供給部から供給された原料が押出成形機によって加熱溶融されて押出成形され、この押出成形品が切断装置によって所定の長さに切断され、切断装置によって切断された押出成形品が塗装装置により塗装され、塗装装置によって塗装された押出成形品が連続して乾燥装置により乾燥され、押出成形品の製造が原料投入から押出成形品の乾燥まで連続処理することが出来るので、従来の乾燥装置が別個に設けられたものに比べて、作業効率が大幅に向上する。
また、乾燥装置の乾燥領域部に押出成形品が塗装装置から搬入され、この押出成形品が順次保持されて、予め定められた閉軌道を移動して、再び前記搬入部に戻るように構成された移動保持部の送りピッチが、押出成形機による1個当たりの押出成形品の製造ピッチとが同期されているので、押出成形品の製造ピッチに合わせて、搬入部に搬入された押出成形品が順次移動保持部に保持されて、一定の期間乾燥領域部に滞留させた後再び同じ場所に戻すことが出来ることとなって、搬入部に搬送された押出成形品の乾燥処理を連続的に行うことができる。即ち、移動保持部は、押出成形品の製造ピッチに同期して送りピッチが設定されているので、この移動保持部に押出成形品を順次保持させて移動させることができることとなって、移動保持部に保持された押出成形品を循環移動中に連続的に乾燥させることが出来る。また、移動保持部は、閉軌道に沿って循環移動するので、乾燥装置自体をコンパクトにすることが出来ることとなって押出成形品製造装置を設置するための敷地面積をあまり広くとる必要がないとともに、生産効率も落とすことなく押出成形品の乾燥工程を含めた製造を連続して行うことが出来る。
また、移動保持部が移動する軌道上に設けられた搬出部によって移動保持部に保持された押出成形品が搬出されるので、押出成形品を保持した移動保持部は搬入部に戻ったときには空になることとなって、更に乾燥工程が連続化されて自動化することが出来る。
更に、移動保持部が移動する閉軌道は、下水平移動、上移動、上水平移動、下移動を交互に行う軌道であるので、移動保持部の移動スペースとして上下方向も利用出来ることとなって空間利用効率性に優れた乾燥装置とすることが出来る。
【0046】
請求項記載の発明によれば、請求項記載の発明と同様の効果が得られることは無論のこと、特に、移動保持部を構成する押出成形品の支持棒に長手方向に沿って所定の間隔で回動自在に設けられた載置部に、押出成形品が載置されるので、押出成形品が確実に保持されて移動出来るとともに、比較的簡易な構造のものによって構成されることとなって移動保持部を安価にさせることが出来る。
【0047】
請求項記載の発明によれば、請求項記載の発明と同様の効果が得られることは無論のこと、特に、支持棒の長手方向両端部がそれぞれ回動自在に支持された2つのループチェーンが駆動機構部によって同期されて駆動するので、ループチェーンの軌道に沿って移動保持部が移動することとなって、移動保持部を容易に移動させることが出来る。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention manufactures an extruded product by extrusion molding.Extruded product manufacturing equipmentAbout.
[0002]
[Background technology]
In recent years, attempts have been made to give synthetic resin moldings surface characteristics similar to natural wood and to use them as various furniture, daily necessities, or interior parts of houses.
As such a technique, there is “cellulosic fine particles, wood-like molded article, and wood-like product” described in PCT Jp94 / 00351 (International Publication Number: WO94 / 20280).
[0003]
In the known technology, a pulverized powder obtained by pulverizing a cellulose material as a raw material is ground to obtain a granule having an increased bulk specific gravity, and the outer peripheral surface of the granule is smaller in diameter and harder than the granule. The surface grains are fixed to form fixed grains, and the resin and pigment are mixed and melted in the fixed grains, and thereafter or simultaneously with melting, they are formed into a desired shape by extrusion molding or injection molding. Then, it is possible to produce a wood-like product having a pattern very close to the surface of natural wood and having a texture such as a touch feeling close to that of natural wood.
By the way, the above wood-like product is further subjected to surface coating treatment after extrusion molding, followed by drying treatment.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional apparatus for producing a wood-like product by extrusion (extrusion-molded product production apparatus), the coating process is continuously performed, but the drying process is a separate line.
Therefore, the wood-like product after the completion of the painting process has to be separately transported to a drying device, and there is a problem that the work becomes complicated and the work efficiency is poor.
Also, since the drying process requires a certain amount of time compared to other processes, if it is continued to the painting process, the drying equipment itself must be enlarged to ensure the necessary drying time. If a lot of site area is required to install the equipment, or conversely, if the extrusion speed is set according to the size of the drying equipment, the performance of the extrusion molding machine cannot be fully utilized in some cases and the production efficiency is reduced. There is also the problem of falling.
[0005]
  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is an extrusion product manufacturing apparatus excellent in work efficiency by continuing a drying process in a manufacturing process of an extrusion product molded by extrusion molding. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide an extruded product manufacturing apparatus that does not reduce the apparatus installation efficiency and production efficiency even if a drying apparatus is continuously provided..
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in an extruded product manufacturing apparatus 1 that manufactures an extruded product S by extrusion molding, the extruded product S A raw material supply unit 2 (for example, a hopper) that supplies raw materials for manufacturing, an extrusion molding machine 3 that performs extrusion molding by heating and melting the raw materials supplied from the raw material supply unit 2, and the extrusion molding machine 3 A cutting device 4 that cuts the extruded product S that has been extruded by a predetermined length, a coating device 5 that paints the extruded product S that has been cut by the cutting device 4, and an extrusion that has been coated by the coating device 5.

That is, since the feed holding pitch is set in synchronization with the manufacturing pitch of the extrusion molded product S, the movement holding unit 63... Can be moved by sequentially holding the extrusion molded product S in the movement holding unit 63. Thus, the extrusion-molded product S held by the movement holding portions 63 can be continuously dried during the circulation movement. Moreover, since the movement holding parts 63... Circulate and move along the closed track, the drying device 6 itself can be made compact, and the site area for installing the extruded product manufacturing apparatus 1 is too large. In addition, it is possible to continuously produce the extruded product S including the drying step without reducing the production efficiency.
Further, since the extrusion molded product S held by the movement holding unit 63 is carried out by the carry-out unit 64 provided on the track on which the movement holding unit 63 moves, the movement holding unit 63 holding the extrusion molded product S is carried out. Is empty when returned to the carry-in section 62, and the drying process is further continued, so that the entire apparatus can be automated.
Further, the closed orbit in which the movement holding unit 63... Moves is a trajectory in which the lower horizontal movement, the upper movement, the upper horizontal movement, and the lower movement are alternately performed. Thus, the drying device 6 having excellent space utilization efficiency can be obtained.

The movable holding parts 63 are suspended in a longitudinally long support bar 65 and a lower end part of the support bar 65 at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction so as to place an extruded product. And a placement unit 66.
Both ends 65a and 65a in the longitudinal direction of the support rod 65 are rotatably supported and attached to the loop chains 67 and 67.
The placement portion 66 has a substantially triangular front shape, and can hold the extruded product S on the bottom surface portion 66a.
[0030]
The loop chain 67 forms a substantially rectangular closed track along the wall 61 a in the drying region 61, and rotates in mesh with the loop chain 67 inside the four corners of the loop chain 67. Children 68 are provided on the wall.
Further, as the drive mechanism unit 7 for moving the movement holding unit 63 by rotating the rotors 68 and driving the loop chains 67 and 67 meshing with the rotors 68, four rotations are provided. A mechanism is provided for rotating one of the rotors 68 ... by a motor 69 and a transmission chain 70 for transmitting the rotation of the motor shaft 69a of the motor 69 to the rotor shaft 68b.
[0031]
The motor 69 can move the movement holding units 63... By a predetermined distance after a predetermined time has elapsed by movement control by a control unit (not shown).
Then, when the one rotating element 68a is rotated by the drive mechanism section 7, the loop chain 67 meshed with the rotating element 68a is moved downward and horizontally along the four rotating elements 68 ... It is designed to move in a loop that alternately moves, moves up and down, and moves down.
Further, since the two loop chains 67 and 67 move in synchronization, the movement holding portions 63... Move in conjunction with the movement of the loop chains 67 and 67.
Therefore, for example, the movement pitch of the movement holding parts 63 can be synchronized with the production pitch per one extrusion-molded product by the extrusion machine 3.
[0032]
Here, since the support rod 65 is rotatably supported by the loop chains 67 and 67 and the mounting portion 66 is also rotatably supported by the support rod 65, the loop chains 67 and 67 are moved on the track. When moved, the bottom surface portion 66a on which the extruded product S is placed on the placement portion 66 can always be kept horizontal.
[0033]
Further, the roller conveyors 62a of the carry-in section 62 are provided directly below the up-and-down moving section 67a that moves up or down in the loop chain 67, and the height position of the roller conveyor 62a. The height is set to be higher than the height position of the bottom surface portion 66 a of the mounting portion 66 and lower than the mounting height position of the mounting portion 66 and the loop chain 67. And the mounting part 66 is designed so that it may pass through the clearance gap between the roller 62a and the roller 62a.

And the mounting part 66 is designed so that it may pass through the clearance gap between the roller 64a and the roller 64a.
Therefore, on the carry-out portion 64 side, when the bottom surface portion 66a of the placing portion 66 is moved downward from the roller 64a of the carry-out portion 64, the extruded product S is transferred from the bottom surface portion 66a to the roller 64a. Then, the extruded product S transferred to the roller 64a is transported out of the drying device 6 by the rotation of the roller 64a, so that the extruded product S can be carried out.
[0035]
Next, a series of operations for manufacturing an extruded product by the above-described extruded product manufacturing apparatus 1 will be described.

The pellets supplied from the second hopper 22 are put into the cylinder 31 through the vent hole 33, heated and melted, mixed with the pellets supplied from the first hopper 21 by the screw 32, and from the die 34. An extruded product S that has been extruded and formed into a desired shape is manufactured.
[0036]
Next, the extruded product S is cooled with water or the like by the cooling device 35, and the shape of the cooled extruded product S is adjusted by the shape adjusting device 36.
Subsequently, the extruded product S is cut by a predetermined length while being matched with the movement of the extruded product S on a roller conveyor (not shown) by the cutting device 4.
After the extruded product S cut by the cutting device 4 is coated by the coating device 5, the coated extruded product S is carried into the carry-in portion 62 of the dry region portion 61.
At this time, the timing for carrying in the drying area 61 is set in advance so as to be when the placement unit 66 of the movement holding unit 63 is located between the rollers 62 a of the carry-in unit 62.
Then, the extruded product S carried into the carry-in part 62 is placed on the bottom surface part 66a of the placement part 66 as the movement holding part 63 moves up, and is moved along the track of the loop chain 67 as it is. The
[0037]
Next, after a predetermined time has elapsed, when the movement holding unit 63 on which the extruded product S is placed on the placement unit 66 moves downward and the bottom surface portion 66a attempts to move below the roller 64a of the carry-out portion 64, the bottom surface The extruded product S is transferred from the portion 66a to the roller 64a.
Subsequently, the extruded product S transferred to the roller 64a is conveyed outside the drying device 6 by the rotation of the roller 64a.
Then, the empty movement holding unit 63 moves horizontally downward and again moves to the carry-in unit 62, where the extruded product S newly transported from the coating apparatus 5 is placed.
[0038]
According to the extruded product manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the present invention described above, the raw material supplied from the hopper 2 of the extruded product manufacturing apparatus 1 that performs extrusion molding is heated and melted by the extrusion molding machine 3 and extruded.
