Description

本発明は、酒樽の側板として使用されていた樽材に代表される湾曲材を建築材として再利用できるように矯正乾燥する湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置及び矯正乾燥方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a curving material straightening and drying apparatus and a straightening drying method for straightening and drying a curving material represented by a barrel material used as a side plate of a sake barrel as a building material.

オーク材(ブナ科ナラ属の総称)は材質が堅硬で弾性のある良材であることから、ウイスキーやブランデーの樽材に適した樹種として広く知られているが、従来、樽としての役目を終えたものは産業廃棄物として処分されていた。   Oak wood (generic name of the beech family Nara genus) is a well-known material that is hard and elastic, so it is widely known as a tree species suitable for whiskey and brandy barrels. Was disposed of as industrial waste.

一方、オーク材は、欧米諸国で古くから高級家具材として使用されていることからもわかるように利用価値の高い樹種であり、特に樽材として使用されるオーク材は柾目材として切り出されたものであるため、貴重な木材資源であった。   On the other hand, oak is a high-use tree species, as can be seen from the fact that it has been used as a high-quality furniture material in Europe and the United States for a long time. Therefore, it was a valuable wood resource.

そのため、昨今では、樽としての役目を終えたオーク材を元通り平坦にし、家具や建材として再利用する技術が開発されている。   For this reason, recently, a technique has been developed in which oak materials that have finished their role as barrels are flattened and reused as furniture and building materials.

しかしながら、これらの利用技術においてオーク材を再利用する際、まず、湾曲したオーク材を蒸煮等の手段で軟化させるとともに該オーク材を加圧して平坦にし、次いで、これを家具や建材に適した含水率となるように乾燥させる必要がり、各処理装置にオーク材をセットしたり取り出したりしなければならないこととも相まって、酒樽を解体してから家具や建材に使えるように再生するまでに多くの手間と時間を要するという問題を生じていた。   However, when reusing oak materials in these utilization techniques, first, the curved oak materials are softened by means of steaming or the like and the oak materials are pressed and flattened, and then suitable for furniture and building materials. In combination with the need to dry to achieve moisture content and the need to set and remove oak wood from each processing unit, there is a lot of time between dismantling the sake barrels and reclaiming them for use in furniture and building materials. The problem was that it took time and effort.

かかる問題を解決すべく、オーク材に断続的に湾曲部が逆側に反るよう負荷を与えて真直な板にする技術も開発されているが(特許文献2参照)、かかる技術をもってしても乾燥の手間は必須であり、結局、天然乾燥にしろ人工乾燥にしろ、処理されたものを別途乾燥させる手間や時間は依然として解消されないままである。また、大量のオーク材を効率よく処理するには装置の規模を大型化せざるを得ないという懸念も別途生じる。   In order to solve such a problem, a technique for making a straight plate by applying a load so that the curved portion intermittently warps the opposite side of the oak (see Patent Document 2) has been developed. However, the labor of drying is indispensable. Eventually, the labor and time for separately drying the processed material, whether natural drying or artificial drying, remains unresolved. In addition, there is another concern that the scale of the apparatus must be increased in order to efficiently process a large amount of oak.

本発明は、上述した事情を考慮してなされたもので、酒樽を解体して得られる湾曲した樽材を大量にかつ効率よく平坦に矯正して家具や建材として再利用することが可能な湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置及び矯正乾燥方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and is capable of reusing as a furniture or building material a large amount and efficiently flattened curved barrel material obtained by dismantling a sake barrel.

Continued straightening and drying Was carried out, and then, performs a fixing and drying of flat plate shape was corrected by lowering maintained only wet-bulb temperature of 80 ° C~90 ° C.

また、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥方法は、前記ホワイトオーク材の矯正進捗状況を監視しつつ、該ホワイトオーク材の矯正の進捗が実質的に進行しなくなった時期をもって各工程の終期とするものである。   Further, the method for straightening and drying a curved material according to the present invention monitors the progress of straightening of the white oak material, and at the end of each step with the time when the progress of straightening of the white oak material does not substantially proceed. To do.

また、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置は請求項3に記載したように、一対の中央ガイド柱を対向位置にて所定の基部に立設するとともに該一対の中央ガイド柱で形成される中央鉛直構面から所定の離間距離だけ隔てられた両側方位置に一対の側方ガイド柱をそれらで形成される側方鉛直構面が前記中央鉛直構面と平行になるように前記基部にそれぞれ立設し、前記中央ガイド柱に中央反力ロッドが挿通される中央スリットを該中央反力ロッドの水平方向移動が拘束され鉛直方向移動が自在となるように形成するとともに、前記側方ガイド柱に端部載荷ロッドが挿通される端部スリットを該端部載荷ロッドの水平方向移動が拘束され鉛直方向移動が自在となるように形成し、前記中央スリットに挿通された前記中央反力ロッドに下面が当接され前記端部スリットに挿通された前記端部載荷ロッドに端部上面がそれぞれ当接されるようにかつ湾曲凸部が下方となるように湾曲材が複数段に桟積みされた状態にて最上段に配置された湾曲材の端部上面に当接する2本の端部載荷ロッドに矯正荷重を載荷する載荷手段を備えた湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置であって、前記湾曲材を含水率が20〜50%のホワイトオーク材としたものである。 Further, according to the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a straightening and drying apparatus for curving material according to the present invention, wherein a pair of central guide columns are erected on a predetermined base at opposing positions, and the pair of central guide columns are provided. A pair of side guide pillars are provided at both lateral positions separated from the central vertical construction surface formed by a predetermined separation distance so that the lateral vertical construction surface formed by them is parallel to the central vertical construction surface. A central slit that is erected on each base and through which the central reaction rod is inserted into the central guide column so that the horizontal movement of the central reaction rod is restrained and the vertical movement can be freely performed; An end slit through which the end loading rod is inserted into the side guide column is formed so that the horizontal movement of the end loading rod is restricted and the vertical movement is free. Under force rod The bending material is stacked in a plurality of stages so that the upper surface of the end is in contact with the end loading rod inserted into the end slit and the upper surface of the end is in contact with the lower side. A curving material straightening drying pallet apparatus comprising loading means for loading a straightening load on two end loading rods that are in contact with the upper surface of the end of the curving material arranged at the uppermost stage at The material is white oak with a moisture content of 20 to 50% .

また、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥方法は、前記載荷手段を所定の質量を持つ載荷体で構成したものである。   Moreover, the correction | amendment drying method of the bending material which concerns on this invention comprises the above-mentioned loading means by the loading body with predetermined mass.

また、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥方法は、前記中央ガイド柱及び前記側方ガイド柱の少なくともいずれかの柱頭に固定された反力体と、該反力体の下面に上端が連結され垂設された油圧又は空気圧アクチュエータとで前記載荷手段を構成するとともに、前記油圧又は空気圧アクチュエータの伸縮ロッドの先端を前記2本の端部載荷ロッドに当接自在に構成したものである。   Further, in the straightening and drying method for a bending material according to the present invention, a reaction force body fixed to at least one of the center guide pillar and the side guide pillar and an upper end are connected to a lower surface of the reaction force body. The above-described loading means is constituted by the suspended hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, and the tip of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic or pneumatic actuator is configured so as to be able to contact the two end loading rods.

請求項3に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置を用いて湾曲材を矯正乾燥するにあたっては、まず、対向配置された一対の中央ガイド柱にそれぞれ形成された2つの中央スリットに中央反力ロッドを挿通する。   In straightening and drying a curved material using the straightening and drying pile device for curved material according to claim 3, first, a central reaction force is applied to two central slits respectively formed on a pair of opposed central guide columns. Insert the rod.

次に、樽材から解体された湾曲材をその下面が中央反力ロッドに当接されるようにかつ湾曲凸部が下方となるように載置する。湾曲材は、一対の中央ガイド柱の柱間に形成された湾曲材載置スペースに適宜並べるように配置すればよい。   Next, the curved material disassembled from the barrel material is placed so that the lower surface thereof is in contact with the central reaction rod and the curved convex portion is positioned downward. The bending material may be arranged so as to be appropriately arranged in the bending material mounting space formed between the pair of central guide columns.

次に、対向配置された一対の側方ガイド柱にそれぞれ形成された2つの端部スリットに端部載荷ロッドを挿通して湾曲材の端部上面に載せて当接させる。   Next, the end loading rods are inserted into two end slits respectively formed on the pair of side guide columns arranged opposite to each other, and are put on and contacted with the upper surface of the end of the bending material.

このように、中央反力ロッド、湾曲材及び2本の端部載荷ロッドを下方から繰り返し積み上げていくことで湾曲材を複数段に桟積みする。   In this way, the bending material is stacked in a plurality of stages by repeatedly stacking the central reaction force rod, the bending material, and the two end loading rods from below.

ここで、中央反力ロッド及び端部載荷ロッドは、それぞれ中央スリットと端部スリットに挿通されているため、水平方向にずれるおそれはない。なお、最下段の湾曲材については、基部の上に置かれた最下段の中央反力ロッドで中央下面が支持されているだけなので、必要に応じて、矯正工程に支障が生じない位置、例えば中央反力ロッドの両側方に補助反力部材を隣接配置し、中央反力ロッドとともに最下段の湾曲材を支持するようにすればよい。   Here, since the central reaction force rod and the end loading rod are inserted through the central slit and the end slit, respectively, there is no possibility of shifting in the horizontal direction. In addition, for the lowermost bending material, since the central lower surface is only supported by the lowermost central reaction force rod placed on the base, if necessary, a position that does not interfere with the correction process, for example, An auxiliary reaction force member may be disposed adjacent to both sides of the central reaction force rod so as to support the lowermost bending material together with the central reaction force rod.

湾曲材を複数段に桟積みしたならば、次に、最上段に配置された湾曲材の端部上面に当接する2本の端部載荷ロッドに矯正荷重を載荷するとともに、矯正乾燥用桟積み装置全体を乾燥装置内に搬入する。載荷の開始と乾燥装置内への搬入の時期については、載荷を開始してから搬入してもよいし、搬入してから載荷を開始してもかまわない。   Once the curved material is stacked in multiple stages, the correction load is then loaded on the two end loading rods that are in contact with the upper surface of the end of the curved material arranged in the uppermost stage, and the straightening drying stack. The entire apparatus is carried into the drying apparatus. Regarding the timing of the start of loading and the loading into the drying apparatus, loading may be performed after loading is started, or loading may be started after loading.

次に、乾燥装置内で湾曲材を蒸煮することで該湾曲材を軟化させつつ、上述した載荷荷重によって湾曲材を平坦状に矯正し、引き続いて矯正が終了した又は終了しつつある処理材を所望の含水率になるように乾燥させる。   Next, the bending material is softened by steaming the bending material in a drying apparatus, and the bending material is corrected to a flat shape by the above-described loading load. Dry to desired moisture content.

このようにすると、解体された湾曲材を本発明に係る矯正乾燥用桟積み装置にセットして乾燥装置内に搬入するだけで湾曲材を平板状に矯正し、家具や建材として再利用することができるのみならず、矯正乾燥用桟積み装置へのセットは複数段にわたって可能ゆえ、一度にたくさんの湾曲材を矯正乾燥処理することが可能となる。   In this case, the curving material is corrected into a flat plate shape by simply setting the dismantled curving material in the straightening drying pallet apparatus according to the present invention and carrying it into the drying apparatus, and reusing it as furniture or building material. In addition, since it can be set in a plurality of stages for the straightening drying pallet apparatus, it is possible to straighten and dry a large number of curved materials at a time.

矯正荷重を載荷する載荷手段は、湾曲材の中央近傍を支点としてその両端に鉛直荷重を下方に載荷できるものであればどのような構成のものでもかまわない。例えば、所定の質量を持つ載荷体で構成することが可能である。また、中央ガイド柱及び側方ガイド柱の少なくともいずれかの柱頭に固定された反力体と、該反力体の下面に上端が連結され垂設された油圧又は空気圧アクチュエータとで構成するとともに、油圧又は空気圧アクチュエータの伸縮ロッドの先端を2本の端部載荷ロッドに当接自在に構成することも可能である。   The loading means for loading the correction load may be of any configuration as long as the vertical load can be loaded downward at both ends with the vicinity of the center of the bending material as a fulcrum. For example, it can be configured by a loaded body having a predetermined mass. In addition, the reaction force body is fixed to at least one of the center guide column and the side guide column, and a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator that is vertically coupled to the lower surface of the reaction force body, It is also possible to configure the tip of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic or pneumatic actuator so that it can contact the two end loading rods.

乾燥装置は、市販されているものから適宜選択すればよい。   What is necessary is just to select a drying apparatus suitably from what is marketed.

ここで、上述した基部を基板で構成するとともに該基板の下面に走行用車輪を取り付けたならば、矯正乾燥用桟積み装置内への搬入及び蒸煮・乾燥処理終了後の該装置からの搬出が容易になり、矯正乾燥処理に要する手間や時間をさらに短縮し、効率化を図ることが可能となる。   Here, if the base described above is constituted by a substrate and a traveling wheel is attached to the lower surface of the substrate, it is carried into the straightening drying pallet apparatus and unloaded from the apparatus after completion of the steaming / drying process. It becomes easy, and it becomes possible to further shorten the labor and time required for the straightening drying process and to improve the efficiency.

一方、蒸煮あるいは乾燥のスケジュールについては、樹種に応じて公知のスケジュール又はそれを適宜変更して行うことができるが、ホワイトオーク材に関する限り、樽側板として数年間使用されていたことによる残留応力を緩和して矯正することが困難であるばかりか、乾燥させるだけでも4日〜10日を要し、樽材として使われたホワイトオーク材を矯正乾燥するスケジュールは、未だ明らかにされていないのが現状である。   On the other hand, the steaming or drying schedule can be performed by appropriately changing the known schedule or depending on the tree species, but as far as white oak wood is concerned, residual stress due to being used for several years as a barrel side plate Not only is it difficult to relax and straighten, it takes 4-10 days to dry, and the schedule for straightening and drying white oak used as a barrel has not yet been clarified. Currently.

本出願人は、酒樽に使用されていたホワイトオーク材を矯正乾燥して家具や建材として使用することができないかという点に着眼し、多くの実験を重ねた結果、かかるホワイトオーク材を矯正乾燥することができる新規なスケジュールを見出した。   The present applicant has focused on whether white oak used in sake barrels can be straightened and dried to be used as furniture or building materials, and as a result of many experiments, such white oak has been straightened and dried. Found a new schedule that can be.

すなわち、請求項1に係る矯正乾燥方法においては、乾燥装置内を乾球温度90゜C〜110゜C、湿球温度90゜C〜100゜Cに維持することで前記ホワイトオーク材の軟化及び矯正を行い、次いで、乾球温度だけを110゜C〜130゜Cに上昇維持することで、引き続き矯正及び乾燥を行い、次いで、湿球温度だけを85゜C〜100゜Cに下降維持して引き続き矯正及び乾燥を行い、次いで、湿球温度だけを80゜C〜90゜Cに下降維持して矯正された平板形状の固定化及び乾燥を行う。   That is, in the straightening drying method according to claim 1, the white oak material is softened and maintained by maintaining the inside of the drying apparatus at a dry bulb temperature of 90 ° C to 110 ° C and a wet bulb temperature of 90 ° C to 100 ° C. Correction is performed, and then only the dry bulb temperature is maintained at 110 ° C. to 130 ° C. to continue correction and drying, and then only the wet bulb temperature is maintained at 85 ° C. to 100 ° C. Subsequently, correction and drying are performed, and then the flat plate shape is fixed and dried by maintaining only the wet bulb temperature at a temperature of 80 ° C. to 90 ° C.

このようにすると、長期間、樽側板として湾曲状態で固定されていたことに起因するホワイトオーク材の残留応力は短時間に緩和されることとなり、かくしてホワイトオーク材の矯正及び乾燥を短時間に達成することが可能となる。   In this way, the residual stress of the white oak due to being fixed in a curved state as a barrel side plate for a long time will be relieved in a short time, thus correcting and drying the white oak in a short time Can be achieved.

各工程においてそれぞれの温度範囲を維持する時間については任意に定めればよいが、前記ホワイトオーク材の矯正進捗状況を監視しつつ、該ホワイトオーク材の矯正の進捗が実質的に進行しなくなった時期をもって各工程の終期とするならば、ホワイトオーク材の短時間での矯正乾燥がさらに確実となる。   The time for maintaining each temperature range in each step may be arbitrarily determined, but while the progress of correction of the white oak material is monitored, the progress of correction of the white oak material does not substantially proceed. If the timing is the end of each step, white oak can be straightened and dried in a short time.

含水率の目標値についても任意であるが、ホワイトオーク材を床材に利用する場合には所望の含水率を8%とし、家具材に利用する場合には12%とするのが望ましい。   Although the target value of the moisture content is also arbitrary, it is desirable that the desired moisture content is 8% when white oak is used for flooring, and 12% when it is used for furniture.

以下、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置及び矯正乾燥方法の実施の形態について、添付図面を参照して説明する。なお、従来技術と実質的に同一の部品等については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。   DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a straightening and drying apparatus for curving material and a straightening drying method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It can be.

なお、4本の側方ガイド柱5及び2本の中央ガイド柱3の安定を図るため、中央鉛直構面4や側方鉛直構面6に直交する方向にそれらの柱の柱頭を平鋼14を介して相互に連結してあるとともに、対向する一対の側方ガイド柱5,5の柱頭を連結ロッド13を介して着脱自在に連結できるようになっている。   In order to stabilize the four side guide pillars 5 and the two central guide pillars 3, the heads of those pillars are flattened in a direction perpendicular to the central vertical construction surface 4 and the side vertical construction surface 6. The tops of the pair of side guide columns 5 and 5 facing each other can be detachably connected via a connecting rod 13.

本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1は、さらに載荷手段としてコンクリートで形成された載荷体11を備えており、かかる載荷体11は、最上段に桟積みされた湾曲材12の端部上面に当接する2本の端部載荷ロッド9,9に矯正荷重を載荷するようになっている。すなわち、本発明に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1は、湾曲材12をその中央近傍の下面が中央スリット8に挿通された中央反力ロッド7に当接され、その端部上面が端部スリット10に挿通された端部載荷ロッド9にそれぞれ当接されるようにかつ湾曲凸部が下方となるように複数段に桟積みされることで、中央反力ロッド7と当接する箇所を支点として湾曲材12を曲げて平板状に矯正できるようになっており、載荷体11からの矯正荷重は、中央反力ロッド7及び2本の端部載荷ロッド9を介して上段の湾曲材12から下段の湾曲材12へと順次伝達され、湾曲材12が平坦になるように複数段の湾曲材12を同時に載荷する。   The curving material straightening and drying pile 1 according to the present embodiment further includes a loading body 11 made of concrete as a loading means, and the loading body 11 is a bending material 12 stacked on the uppermost stage. The corrective load is loaded on the two end loading rods 9, 9 that are in contact with the upper surface of each of the ends. That is, in the straightening and drying pile device 1 according to the present invention, the bending material 12 is brought into contact with the central reaction rod 7 whose lower surface near the center is inserted into the central slit 8 and the upper surface of the end portion is A portion that abuts the central reaction force rod 7 by being stacked in a plurality of stages so as to be in contact with the end loading rod 9 inserted through the end slit 10 and with the curved convex portion downward. The bending material 12 can be bent by using the fulcrum as a fulcrum, and the correction load from the loading body 11 can be corrected through the central reaction force rod 7 and the two end loading rods 9. The plurality of bending materials 12 are loaded simultaneously so that the bending materials 12 are sequentially transmitted from 12 to the lower bending material 12.

湾曲材12は、主として酒樽を解体して得られた側板(胴材)を対象とする。   The bending material 12 mainly targets a side plate (body) obtained by dismantling a sake barrel.

本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1を用いて湾曲材12を矯正乾燥するにあたっては、まず、対向配置された一対の中央ガイド柱3,3にそれぞれ形成された2つの中央スリット8,8に中央反力ロッド7を挿通する。   In the straightening and drying of the bending material 12 using the straightening and drying pile device 1 according to the present embodiment, first, the two centers formed respectively on the pair of central guide columns 3 and 3 disposed opposite to each other. The central reaction force rod 7 is inserted into the slits 8 and 8.

次に、樽材から解体された湾曲材12をその中央近傍下面が中央反力ロッド7に当接されるようにかつ湾曲凸部が下方となるように載置する。湾曲材12は、通常、その幅にばらつきがあるが図2でよくわかるように、一対の中央ガイド柱3,3の柱間に形成された湾曲材載置スペースに適宜並べればよい。つまり、湾曲材12は、複数段にかつ水平方向に任意数だけ並べることが可能であるとともに、それらすべての湾曲材12を同時に載荷して平板化することができる。   Next, the bending material 12 disassembled from the barrel material is placed so that the lower surface in the vicinity of the center is in contact with the central reaction force rod 7 and the curved convex portion is on the lower side. The bending members 12 usually vary in width, but as shown in FIG. 2, the bending members 12 may be appropriately arranged in a bending material mounting space formed between the pair of central guide columns 3 and 3. That is, the bending material 12 can be arranged in an arbitrary number in a plurality of stages and in the horizontal direction, and all the bending materials 12 can be loaded and flattened simultaneously.

ここで、最下段の湾曲材12については、中央近傍下面を中央反力ロッド7だけで支持するため不安定になる懸念があるが、かかる場合には、矯正工程、すなわち平板化に支障がない位置、例えば中央反力ロッド7の両脇に必要に応じて補助反力部材を別途設置するようにすればよい。   Here, there is a concern that the lowermost bending material 12 is unstable because the lower surface near the center is supported only by the central reaction force rod 7, but in such a case, there is no problem in the correction process, that is, flattening. An auxiliary reaction force member may be separately installed at a position, for example, both sides of the central reaction force rod 7 as necessary.

次に、対向配置された一対の側方ガイド柱5,5にそれぞれ形成された2つの端部スリット10,10に端部載荷ロッド9を挿通して湾曲材12の端部上面に載せて当接させる。   Next, the end loading rod 9 is inserted into the two end slits 10, 10 formed in the pair of side guide columns 5, 5 arranged opposite to each other and placed on the upper surface of the end of the bending material 12. Make contact.

このように、中央反力ロッド7、湾曲材12及び2本の端部載荷ロッド9,9を下方から繰り返し積み上げていくことで湾曲材12を複数段に桟積みする。   In this manner, the bending material 12 is stacked in multiple stages by repeatedly stacking the central reaction force rod 7, the bending material 12 and the two end loading rods 9 and 9 from below.

ここで、中央反力ロッド7及び端部載荷ロッド9,9は、それぞれ中央スリット8と端部スリット10に挿通されているため、水平方向にずれるおそれはない。   Here, since the central reaction rod 7 and the end loading rods 9 and 9 are inserted through the central slit 8 and the end slit 10, respectively, there is no possibility of shifting in the horizontal direction.

湾曲材12を複数段に桟積みしたならば、次に、最上段に配置された湾曲材12の端部上面に当接する2本の端部載荷ロッド9,9に矯正荷重を載荷すべく、該端部載荷ロッドの上に載荷体11を載せるとともに、矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1全体を乾燥装置内に搬入する。   If the bending material 12 is stacked in a plurality of stages, next, in order to load the correction load on the two end loading rods 9 and 9 that come into contact with the upper surface of the end of the bending material 12 arranged at the uppermost stage, The loading body 11 is placed on the end loading rod, and the entire straightening drying pallet apparatus 1 is carried into the drying apparatus.

乾燥装置は、木材乾燥機として市販されているものから適宜選択すればよいし、蒸煮あるいは乾燥のスケジュールは、公知のスケジュール又はそれを適宜変更して行えばよい。また、載荷の開始、換言すれば載荷体11の設置と乾燥装置内への搬入の時期については、載荷体11を設置してから乾燥装置内に搬入してもよいし、搬入してから載荷体11を載せてもかまわない。   What is necessary is just to select a drying apparatus suitably from what is marketed as a wood dryer, and what is necessary is just to change a well-known schedule or the schedule of steaming or drying suitably. In addition, regarding the start of loading, in other words, the timing of installing the loading body 11 and carrying it into the drying device, the loading body 11 may be installed and then loaded into the drying device, or loaded after loading. The body 11 may be placed.

次に、乾燥装置内で湾曲材12を蒸煮することで該湾曲材を軟化させつつ、上述した載荷荷重によって湾曲材12を平板状に矯正し、引き続いて矯正が終了した又は終了しつつある処理材を用途に適した所望の含水率になるように乾燥させる。   Next, the bending material 12 is softened by steaming the bending material 12 in the drying apparatus, and the bending material 12 is corrected into a flat plate shape by the above-described loading load. Subsequently, the correction is finished or is being finished. The material is dried to the desired moisture content suitable for the application.

以上説明したように、本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1によれば、解体された湾曲材12を複数段にかつ水平方向に任意数だけセットして乾燥装置内に搬入するだけで湾曲材12を平板状に同時矯正することができる。   As described above, according to the curving material straightening and drying pile 1 according to the present embodiment, the disassembled curving material 12 is set in a plurality of stages and in an arbitrary number in the horizontal direction and is carried into the drying device. The bending material 12 can be simultaneously corrected into a flat plate shape simply by doing so.

そのため、多くの湾曲材12を同時に矯正乾燥させることができるのみならず、いったん本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1に湾曲材12をセットしてしまえば、後は乾燥装置から搬出して処理材を取り出せばよいだけのなので、湾曲材12を平板化するための手間を大幅に減らすことが可能となる。   Therefore, not only can a large number of bending materials 12 be straightened and dried at the same time, but once the bending material 12 is set on the straightening and drying beam stacking device 1 according to the present embodiment, the drying device is thereafter used. Therefore, it is only necessary to take out the processing material by unloading it, so that the labor for flattening the bending material 12 can be greatly reduced.

また、本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1によれば、矯正工程と乾燥工程との間に何ら人手を介したり余分な工程を必要とすることなく、連続的に行うことができるため、湾曲材12を平板化するための時間を大幅に短縮することが可能となる。   In addition, according to the curving material straightening and drying stacking device 1 according to the present embodiment, it is continuously performed without any manual or extra steps between the straightening step and the drying step. Therefore, the time for flattening the bending material 12 can be greatly shortened.

また、本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1によれば、湾曲材12を載荷して矯正し平板化するための載荷手段として載荷体11を使用するようにしたので、矯正に要するエネルギーは載荷体11を上げ下ろしする分を除けば零であり、従来の押圧装置等に比べ、矯正のための加圧に要するエネルギー消費量は激減する。   Further, according to the straightening and drying stacking apparatus 1 for a curved material according to the present embodiment, the loading body 11 is used as a loading means for loading the curved material 12 to correct and flatten it. The energy required for this is zero except when the load 11 is raised and lowered, and the energy consumption required for pressurization for correction is drastically reduced as compared with a conventional pressing device or the like.

本実施形態では、載荷手段として載荷体を用いたが、これに代えて、図4のように構成してもよい。   In the present embodiment, the loading body is used as the loading means, but it may be configured as shown in FIG. 4 instead.

すなわち、同図に示す変形例に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置21は矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1と同様、基部である矩形状の基板2に対向位置にて立設された一対の中央ガイド柱3,3と、互いに対向するように基板2に立設された一対の側方ガイド柱5,5とを備えるが、載荷体11に代えて、一対の側方ガイド柱5,5の柱頭に架け渡され固定された2つの反力体22,22と、該反力体の下面に上端が連結され垂設された空気圧アクチュエータ23とで構成するとともに、空気圧アクチュエータ23の伸縮ロッドの先端を2本の端部載荷ロッド9,9に当接自在に構成してある。   That is, the curving material straightening and drying apparatus 21 according to the modification shown in FIG. 1 is a pair of standing and standing on the rectangular substrate 2 that is the base, like the straightening and drying apparatus 1. The central guide columns 3 and 3 and a pair of side guide columns 5 and 5 erected on the substrate 2 so as to face each other are provided, but instead of the loaded body 11, a pair of side guide columns 5 and 5 is provided. The two reaction force bodies 22, 22 spanned and fixed to the stigma of the head, and a pneumatic actuator 23 with the upper end connected to the lower surface of the reaction force body and suspended, and the telescopic rod of the pneumatic actuator 23 The tip is configured to be able to abut on the two end loading rods 9 and 9.

かかる構成においても、空気圧アクチュエータ23を動作させることによって2本の端部載荷ロッド9,9を鉛直下方に載荷することが可能であるのみならず、乾燥機室内での軟化及び矯正工程を行っている間、乾燥機内の乾球温度及び湿球温度を監視しつつ、湾曲材12の載荷を力又は変位で制御することが可能となり、湾曲材12をより適切かつ効率的に矯正乾燥させることが可能となる。   Even in such a configuration, it is possible not only to vertically load the two end loading rods 9 and 9 by operating the pneumatic actuator 23, but also to perform a softening and correction process in the dryer chamber. While the drying bulb 12 and the wet bulb temperature in the dryer are being monitored, the loading of the bending material 12 can be controlled by force or displacement, and the bending material 12 can be straightened and dried more appropriately and efficiently. It becomes possible.

また、本実施形態では、蒸煮あるいは乾燥のスケジュールにつき、樹種に応じて公知のスケジュール又はそれを適宜変更して行うことができるが、ホワイトオーク材については公知のスケジュールでは矯正乾燥が不可能であるため、以下に示したスケジュールに沿って矯正乾燥を行う。   Further, in this embodiment, the steaming or drying schedule can be performed by appropriately changing a known schedule or a suitable schedule according to the tree species, but it is impossible to correct and dry white oak wood according to a known schedule. Therefore, corrective drying is performed according to the schedule shown below.

すなわち、まず乾燥装置内を乾球温度90゜C〜110゜C、湿球温度90゜C〜100゜Cに維持することでホワイトオーク材の軟化及び矯正を行う。   That is, first, the white oak material is softened and corrected by maintaining the inside of the drying apparatus at a dry bulb temperature of 90 ° C to 110 ° C and a wet bulb temperature of 90 ° C to 100 ° C.

ここで、温度範囲を上述のように限定したのは、90゜C未満では、ホワイトオーク材に関する限り、残留応力を緩和することができなくなるからであり、110゜Cを上回ると、蒸気の供給能力が過大となって効率が低下するからである。   Here, the reason why the temperature range is limited as described above is that if it is less than 90 ° C, the residual stress cannot be relieved as far as white oak is concerned. This is because the capacity is excessive and the efficiency decreases.

表1は、インチ材(25.4mm)のホワイトオーク材に対し、最終含水率が8%になるまで乾燥を行った乾燥スケジュールを示したものであり、北米マジソン林産研究所が行ったものである(「木材乾燥のすべて 寺沢真著、海青社、1994年10月1日発行」)。   Table 1 shows the drying schedule for the inch oak (25.4mm) white oak that was dried until the final moisture content reached 8%. Yes (“All about drying wood” written by Makoto Terasawa, Kaiseisha, published on October 1, 1994).

Figure 0004174810
Figure 0004174810

同表でわかるように、乾球温度を40゜C〜80゜Cの範囲でホワイトオーク材を乾燥させているが、かかるスケジュールは乾燥に17日〜26日を要する。   As can be seen from the table, the white oak material is dried at a dry bulb temperature in the range of 40 ° C. to 80 ° C., but such a schedule requires 17 to 26 days for drying.

ホワイトオーク材の軟化及び矯正を行うにあたっては、ホワイトオーク材の矯正進捗状況を監視し、該ホワイトオーク材の矯正の進捗が実質的に進行しなくなった時期をもって上述した軟化及び矯正工程の終期とするのが望ましい。   When softening and straightening white oak wood, the progress of white oak wood straightening is monitored, and the above-mentioned softening and straightening process ends at the time when the progress of white oak wood straightening does not substantially progress. It is desirable to do.

なお、必要に応じて乾燥機室内にサンプル材を置き、該サンプル材の含水率を含水率計で監視することにより、ホワイトオーク材の含水率を推定することができる。   It should be noted that the moisture content of the white oak material can be estimated by placing the sample material in the dryer chamber as necessary and monitoring the moisture content of the sample material with a moisture meter.

次に、乾球温度だけを110゜C〜130゜Cに上昇維持することで、引き続き矯正及び乾燥を行う。かかる工程を行う時間については、上述したと同様、ホワイトオーク材の矯正の進捗状況を監視しながら上述したと同様に行えばよい。   Next, only the dry bulb temperature is maintained at 110 ° C. to 130 ° C. to continue correction and drying. About the time which performs this process, it may carry out similarly to the above-mentioned, monitoring the progress status of the correction of white oak material similarly to the above-mentioned.

ここで、温度範囲を上述のように限定したのは上述したと同様、90゜C未満では、ホワイトオーク材に関する限り、残留応力を緩和することができなくなるからであり、110゜Cを上回ると、蒸気の供給能力が過大となって効率が低下するからである。また、乾球温度を90゜C〜110゜Cから、110゜C〜130゜Cに上昇幅を抑制したのは、ホワイトオーク材が変色する等の不具合が生じるからである。   Here, as described above, the reason why the temperature range is limited as described above is that if it is less than 90 ° C, the residual stress cannot be relaxed as far as white oak is concerned, and if it exceeds 110 ° C, This is because the steam supply capacity becomes excessive and the efficiency decreases. Further, the reason why the dry bulb temperature is suppressed from 90 ° C. to 110 ° C. to 110 ° C. to 130 ° C. is because a problem such as discoloration of the white oak material occurs.

次に、湿球温度だけを85゜C〜100゜Cに下降維持して引き続き矯正及び乾燥を行う。温度範囲については上述と同様であるので、説明を省略する。   Next, only the wet bulb temperature is maintained at 85 ° C. to 100 ° C., followed by correction and drying. Since the temperature range is the same as described above, the description thereof is omitted.

次に、湿球温度だけを80゜C〜90゜Cに下降維持し、矯正された平板形状の固定化及び乾燥を行う。   Next, only the wet bulb temperature is lowered and maintained at 80 ° C. to 90 ° C., and the fixed flat plate shape is fixed and dried.

このようにすると、長期間、樽側板として湾曲状態で固定されていたことに起因するホワイトオーク材の残留応力は短時間に緩和されることとなり、かくしてホワイトオーク材の矯正及び乾燥を短時間に達成することが可能となる。   In this way, the residual stress of the white oak due to being fixed in a curved state as a barrel side plate for a long time will be relieved in a short time, thus correcting and drying the white oak in a short time Can be achieved.

含水率の目標値については、ホワイトオーク材を床材に利用する場合には所望の含水率を8%とし、家具材に利用する場合には12%とするのが望ましい。   The target moisture content is preferably 8% when white oak is used for flooring and 12% when used for furniture.

本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置及び矯正乾燥方法の作用効果を確認すべく、実証試験を行ったので、その概要と結果を以下に述べる。   A verification test was conducted to confirm the operational effects of the curving material straightening and drying apparatus and the straightening drying method according to the present embodiment, and the outline and results thereof will be described below.

試験に供した側板としては、厚さが19mmから40mm(平均厚さ23mm),長さが825mm〜870mm(平均長さ840mm)、湾曲凹部の中央矢高が22mmから44mm、矯正前の含水率が20〜47%のホワイトオーク材を供試体として使用した。ちなみに、家具として利用するには上述したように概ね12%以下、建材、特に床材に利用するには概ね8%以下にすることが望ましいため、かかる含水率を目標値とした。   The side plate used for the test has a thickness of 19mm to 40mm (average thickness of 23mm), a length of 825mm to 870mm (average length of 840mm), a center height of the curved recess from 22mm to 44mm, and a moisture content before correction. 20-47% white oak was used as a specimen. Incidentally, as described above, it is desirable to set it to approximately 12% or less for use as furniture, and approximately 8% or less for use for building materials, particularly flooring, so the moisture content was set as a target value.

実証実験としては、まず、上述した供試体を湾曲材12と同様にして矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1に桟積みした。供試体を桟積みするにあたっては、1段につき幅方向に平均12本、段数を13段とし、本数を156本とした。   As a demonstration experiment, first, the above-described specimen was loaded on the straightening drying pile 1 in the same manner as the bending material 12. When laying the specimens, the average number was 12 in the width direction per stage, the number of stages was 13, and the number was 156.

載荷体については、1段につき100kg以上の質量で荷重が載荷されるよう、その質量を2トンとした。   For the loaded body, the mass was set to 2 tons so that the load was loaded with a mass of 100 kg or more per stage.

次に、供試体を桟積みした矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1を木材乾燥機(新柴設備製SK−IF10LHP)に搬入した。この木材乾燥機は蒸気式インターナルファンを装備してあり、乾燥機内の温湿度を制御する機能や蒸煮設備を備え、130℃まで乾燥機内を加熱することが可能な高温仕様の乾燥機である。   Next, the straightening drying stacking apparatus 1 on which the specimens were stacked was carried into a wood dryer (SK-IF10LHP manufactured by Shinshiba Equipment). This wood dryer is equipped with a steam internal fan, is equipped with a function to control the temperature and humidity in the dryer and steaming equipment, and is a high-temperature dryer that can heat the dryer to 130 ° C. .

このような木材乾燥機内に上述した矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1を搬入した後、表2に示したスケジュールで矯正乾燥を行った。   After the above-described straightening drying pallet apparatus 1 was carried into such a wood dryer, straightening drying was performed according to the schedule shown in Table 2.

Figure 0004174810

供試体の軟化・矯正・乾燥の手順は同表に示した通り、以下の通りである。   The procedure of softening / correcting / drying the specimen is as follows, as shown in the table.

(a)ボイラーから配管された生蒸気を乾燥機内に蒸煮し、乾燥機内を乾球温度、湿球温度とも98℃に2時間維持することで、供試体の軟化及び矯正を行った。ここで、供試体の軟化及び矯正を行う前の湾曲凹部の中央矢高は、約37mmであり、15mm下がった時点で矯正の進行が止まったため、上述した蒸煮は2時間で終了した。   (a) The raw steam piped from the boiler was steamed into the dryer, and the inside of the dryer was maintained at 98 ° C. for 2 hours both at the dry bulb temperature and the wet bulb temperature, thereby softening and correcting the specimen. Here, the central arrow height of the curved recess before the softening and correction of the specimen was about 37 mm, and since the progress of the correction stopped when 15 mm was lowered, the above-described cooking was completed in 2 hours.

(b)次に、乾球温度を120℃に上昇させて維持することで、引き続き矯正を行いつつ、供試体を乾燥させた。湾曲凹部の中央矢高は、さらに17mm下がり、乾球温度を120゜Cに上昇させた効果が現れた。また、含水率は15.9%に低下した。なお、この時点で矯正の進行が止まったため、上述した温度維持は2時間で終了した。   (b) Next, the dry-bulb temperature was raised to 120 ° C. and maintained to dry the specimen while continuing correction. The central arrow height of the curved recess was further lowered by 17 mm, and the effect of raising the dry bulb temperature to 120 ° C. appeared. Moreover, the moisture content fell to 15.9%. In addition, since the progress of correction stopped at this time, the above-mentioned temperature maintenance was completed in 2 hours.

(c)次に、湿球温度を94℃に下げて2時間維持することで、引き続き矯正と乾燥を行った。湾曲凹部の中央矢高は、さらに7mm下がり、含水率は10.9%に低下した。   (c) Next, the wet bulb temperature was lowered to 94 ° C. and maintained for 2 hours to continue correction and drying. The central arrow height of the curved recess was further lowered by 7 mm, and the water content was reduced to 10.9%.

(d)次に、湿球温度を90℃に下げて2時間維持することで、矯正された平板形状を固定化するとともに、引き続き乾燥させたところ、含水率は8%になった。   (d) Next, the wet bulb temperature was lowered to 90 ° C. and maintained for 2 hours to immobilize the straightened flat plate shape, and when it was subsequently dried, the water content became 8%.

次に、乾燥終了後、供試体を冷却し、しかる後、木材乾燥機内から桟積み状態のまま搬出し、次いで、桟積みされた供試体を1段ごとに取り外した。   Next, after completion of drying, the specimens were cooled, and then transported out of the wood dryer while being stacked, and then the stacked specimens were removed one by one.

上述した手順で行った供試体について平板化状況と含水率を調べたところ、156本全部が平板化しており、含水率は7〜12%であった。   When the flattening situation and the water content of the specimens performed in the above-described procedure were examined, all 156 were flattened and the water content was 7 to 12%.

また、矯正乾燥処理が終了した供試体をプレーナー仕上げし、供試体の材面を観察したところ、ホワイトオークの生地色を保持していた。また、長さ方向を切断して木口面から観察したところ、内部割れは皆無であった。   Further, when the specimen finished with the straightening and drying treatment was planar finished and the surface of the specimen was observed, the fabric color of white oak was retained. Moreover, when the length direction was cut | disconnected and it observed from the end face, there was no internal crack.

上述した実証試験に基づき、本実施形態に係る湾曲材の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置1を用いた場合の効率(生産性)を、容量が180リットルバレルである樽を例に検討する。   Based on the verification test described above, the efficiency (productivity) when using the curving material straightening and drying pile device 1 according to the present embodiment will be examined with a barrel having a capacity of 180 liters as an example.

まず、上述した容量の樽は、直径55cmであるので側板の巾7cmとして25枚の側板が必要であるが、従来方法(特許第3162682号)によれば、1丁の樽枚数を処理するのに約15〜20分(乾燥時間は除く)を要しているので、1分あたり1.6枚が処理されることになる。   First, since the barrel having the above-mentioned capacity has a diameter of 55 cm, 25 side plates are required with a side plate width of 7 cm. However, according to the conventional method (Japanese Patent No. 3268682), one barrel is processed. Takes about 15-20 minutes (excluding drying time), so 1.6 sheets are processed per minute.

一方、矯正乾燥用桟積み装置及び供試体の条件を、
・段数 30段 (載荷体の質量は3トン)
・1段に巾方向に並べる供試体の枚数 10枚(7cm巾)
・枚数 300枚(30段×10枚)
・本実施形態に係る矯正乾燥用桟積み装置の台数 4台
・総枚数 1200枚(4台×300枚)
・木材乾燥機内における矯正加工時間 6時間
(2時間の乾燥だけに要した時間は除く)
とあらたに定め、上述した実証試験に基づいて生産性を算定すると、時間当たりの枚数 200枚(1200枚÷6時間)、1分間あたりの枚数 3.3枚となり、従来方法よりも、生産性が2倍になることがわかる。
On the other hand, the conditions of the straightening drying pallet apparatus and the specimen are
-Number of stages 30 (The mass of the loaded body is 3 tons)
・ Number of specimens arranged in the width direction in one row 10 sheets (7 cm wide)
・ Number of sheets: 300 (30 x 10)
・ Number of straightening and drying stacking devices according to this embodiment: 4 ・ Total number: 1200 (4 x 300)
・ Correction processing time in wood dryer 6 hours
(Excluding time required for drying for 2 hours only)
When the productivity is calculated based on the above-described verification test, the number of sheets per hour is 200 sheets (1200 sheets ÷ 6 hours) and the number of sheets is 3.3 sheets per minute, which is 2 times more productive than the conventional method. You can see that it doubles.

加えて、本実施形態によれば、平板化と乾燥とを同時に行うため、生産性の差はさらに拡がるとともに、上述した小型の木材乾燥機ではなく通常の木材乾燥機を使用すれば、生産性は、従来の方法に比べて10倍に跳ね上がることがわかる。   In addition, according to the present embodiment, since flattening and drying are performed simultaneously, the difference in productivity is further widened, and if a normal wood dryer is used instead of the small wood dryer described above, the productivity is increased. Can be seen to jump 10 times compared to the conventional method.

すなわち、通常の木材乾燥機は、上述した仕様の矯正乾燥用桟積み装置を20台収容可能であり、1回あたり、20台×300枚=6000枚、1分あたり16枚を処理できることになる。   That is, a normal wood dryer can accommodate 20 straightening drying pallets with the above-mentioned specifications, and can process 20 units × 300 sheets = 6000 sheets per time, 16 sheets per minute. .
