According to the above-mentioned prior art, when the wood 2 is carried into the processing line by the carry-in conveyor 1, the wood 2
The tip portion of is cut by the cutting machine 3. Next, the upper and lower surfaces of the wood 2 are subjected to upper and lower surface processing such as drilling by the upper and lower surface processing machine 4. The wood 2A thus processed on the upper and lower surfaces is cut into a predetermined length according to a pre-programmed instruction from the controller. Then, the wood 2A at the tip thus cut into a predetermined length is fed to the first intermediate conveyor 6
Is conveyed to the side surface processing machine 5 and subjected to side surface processing.

While the previous wood 2A is conveyed to the side surface processing machine 5 by the first intermediate conveyor 6, the subsequent wood is the previous wood 2A.
Similarly to the above, after the upper and lower surfaces are machined by the upper and lower surface processing machine 4, the wood is cut into a predetermined length by the cutting machine 3,
In the same manner as in 2A, it is conveyed to the side surface processing machine 5 and subjected to side surface processing. The wood 2B which has been subjected to the top and bottom surface processing and the side surface processing in this manner is conveyed to the first wood cutting machine 7 and the second wood cutting machine 8 to be subjected to the wood cutting at the ends.
In this way, the wood 2C that has been completely processed is carried out of the processing device by the carry-out conveyor 10. These operations are automatically performed according to a program pre-assembled in the controller.

[0008]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. That is,
The wood 1 carried into the processing line is subjected to upper and lower surface processing by the upper and lower surface processing machine 3, cut into a predetermined length by the cutting machine 3, and conveyed to the side surface processing machine 5 by the first intermediate conveyor 6. However, while the previous wood is on the first intermediate conveyor 6, the subsequent wood cannot be conveyed even if the processing of the upper and lower surfaces of the latter wood is completed. This leads to a decrease in wood processing efficiency.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic wood processing apparatus capable of improving the processing efficiency by shortening the transportation time of the wood when removing a plurality of wood from one wood. To provide.
