Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of furniture processing, in particular to a wax sealing process for a furniture slot. Background Art

[0002] The mortise and tenon joints of solid wood furniture are a key node that affects their service life. This area is subject to long-term fluctuations in temperature and humidity, making it prone to cracking and noises due to the expansion and contraction of the wood. Currently, the industry primarily uses two treatment methods: one is to fill and fix the wood with glue (such as fish bladder glue or synthetic glue). While this can temporarily strengthen the connection, the volatile components in the adhesive (such as formaldehyde) pose an environmental risk. Furthermore, the rigid connection restricts the natural expansion and contraction of the wood, leading to cracking after stress accumulation. The other is the traditional hot waxing process, which involves manually applying a mixture of beeswax and Sichuan wax to fill the wood's pores with wax. However, this process relies on manual temperature control, which can lead to problems such as uneven waxing and insufficient penetration. Furthermore, the traditional formula lacks targeted anti-mildew ingredients, making it prone to mold growth in high-humidity environments such as tea tables and dining tables, reducing the durability of the furniture. Among existing technologies, Chinese patent publication number CN202010422226.X discloses a "Glue-dispensing device for wooden mortises with a post-glue sealing function." Its core solution involves injecting glue into the mortises through a glue-dispensing device and then covering them with sealing tape to prevent leakage, thereby achieving a secure mortise and tenon joint. While this technology improves production efficiency, it still relies on chemical adhesives and fails to address the limited expansion and contraction of wood and environmental concerns. Furthermore, the physical barrier effect of the sealing tape exacerbates stress concentration in the mortise and tenon grooves, and the lack of mildew-proofing makes it unsuitable for high-humidity environments. Furthermore, traditional waxing processes have a very low degree of automation. For example, when using an electric charcoal bow for manual waxing, temperature fluctuations can reach over ±10°C, resulting in significant variations in the crystallinity of the wax layer and unstable sealing. Existing mildew prevention technologies (such as the wood mildew inhibitor disclosed in CN112976202A) often rely on chemical immersion. While these technologies can inhibit mildew, they can damage the natural texture of the wood and have poor compatibility with wax sealing systems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wax sealing process for furniture slots to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology, such as reliance on manual temperature control, prone to uneven wax layer and insufficient penetration, and the traditional formula lacks targeted anti-mildew ingredients, which easily breeds mold in high-humidity environments such as tea tables and dining tables, thereby reducing the durability of furniture.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wax sealing process for furniture inlet grooves, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare a wax composition: by weight, consisting of 68-70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10-12% cooked linseed oil, and 3-7% tea tree essential oil; S2.

[0005] This setting utilizes a wax composition blended in specific proportions of beeswax, palm wax, cooked linseed oil, and tea tree oil. After preparation according to precise temperature control procedures, it is applied to the furniture slots, leveraging the wax's plasticity and sealing properties to achieve glue-free connections. Beeswax provides basic sealing and permeability, palm wax enhances hardness, cooked linseed oil improves compatibility with wood, and tea tree oil imparts mildew resistance, creating a synergistic effect.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, beeswax is 68%, palm wax is 15%, cooked linseed oil is 10%, and tea tree essential oil is 7%.

[0007] This setting uses a specific ratio of 68% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10% cooked linseed oil, and 7% tea tree oil to increase the tea tree oil content and enhance the anti-mildew and antibacterial ability of the wax composition, making it suitable for use scenarios with higher anti-mildew requirements.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when applied to ordinary furniture, the wax composition comprises, by weight, 70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 12% cooked linseed oil, and 3% tea tree essential oil.

[0009] This setting is for ordinary furniture. The wax composition ratio is adjusted to 70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 12% cooked linseed oil, and 3% tea tree oil. Increasing the proportion of beeswax and cooked linseed oil improves the wear resistance of the wax layer and its bonding strength with wood to meet the usage needs of ordinary scenarios.

[0011] The heating container of this special automated equipment provides a wax composition processing space. The lifting system drives the suction plate through the electric lifting rod and hydraulic lifter to realize automatic material taking and coating operations. The heating system heats and melts the wax composition.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a control panel, a temperature display and a timer are installed on one side of the lifting plate.

[0013] The control panel on the lifting plate of this setting is used for equipment operation control. The temperature display shows the wax liquid temperature in real time, and the timer controls the process time to achieve precise control of the wax sealing process.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the heating container is provided with an outer insulation board, and the interior of the heating container is a double-layer cavity structure, which includes a wax composition filling layer and a heat transfer oil filling layer. The difference between the heat transfer oil temperature of the heat transfer oil filling layer and the wax liquid temperature of the wax composition filling layer does not exceed 5°C.

[0015] This item sets up an outer insulation board on the outer wall of the heating container to reduce heat loss. In the internal double-layer cavity structure, the heat-conducting oil filling layer heats the wax composition filling layer evenly through heat conduction, and the temperature difference between the two is controlled within a small range to avoid abnormal local temperature of the wax liquid.

[0016] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the heating system includes a bottom tank, and an electromagnetic heating ring is provided inside the bottom tank.

[0017] This heating system has an electromagnetic heating coil installed in the bottom tank, which uses electromagnetic induction to generate heat to heat the material in the heating container. It has the characteristics of high heating efficiency and fast heating speed.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, rollers are installed on the bottom outer wall of the heating container.

The temperature control system includes a PT100 temperature sensor, a digital temperature controller and a high-temperature fuse, which can stably control the temperature of the wax liquid above the melting point. The temperature control accuracy of the temperature control system is ±1°C. This setting uses the PT100 temperature sensor of the temperature control system to monitor the wax liquid temperature in real time. The digital thermostat adjusts according to the monitoring results. The high-temperature fuse plays a protective role when the temperature is abnormally high, ensuring that the wax liquid temperature is stable above the melting point and with high control accuracy.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a material surface regulator is installed inside the heating container, and the material surface regulator includes two symmetrically arranged material clamps for clamping the two ends of the material. The material clamps are driven by a rotating motor to rotate and flip over, and the material surface regulator sets a rotation interval time of 1-60 seconds.

[0022] This setting has two material clamping discs of the material surface regulator clamping the material, and the rotating motor drives it to rotate and turn over, and the rotation interval time is adjustable, so that the surface of the material can evenly contact the wax liquid to ensure uniform wax sealing.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The wax sealing process for the furniture's inlet grooves utilizes a blend of natural ingredients, such as beeswax and palm wax, without the use of adhesives. This prevents the release of volatile harmful substances like formaldehyde, meeting modern furniture environmental standards. The addition of cooked linseed oil not only enhances the wax's affinity with wood fibers, but its natural dry ingredients also form a breathable protective film, meeting environmental requirements while avoiding the "respiratory blockage" caused by traditional glue-based rigid connections.

[0024] 2. This wax sealing process for furniture grooves creates a flexible sealing layer at the mortise and tenon joints through a wax composition, maintaining a flexible, glue-free connection. This allows the wood to expand and contract freely due to temperature and humidity fluctuations, effectively alleviating stress accumulation. Compared to traditional rigid connections secured with glue, this significantly reduces the risk of cracking. Compared to simple mechanical connections, the cushioning effect of the wax layer significantly reduces friction and noise, significantly extending the lifespan of the furniture.

[0025] 3. The addition of tea tree oil to the wax sealing process for the furniture's inlet grooves imparts natural mildew resistance to the wax layer, effectively inhibiting common molds and fungi. This makes it particularly suitable for use in high-humidity environments such as tea tables and dining tables. Furthermore, the optimized ratio of beeswax to palm wax in the formula ensures the wax layer remains stable over a wide temperature range, resolving the drawbacks of traditional waxing, which tends to become brittle at low temperatures and soften at high temperatures.

[0026] 4. During the wax sealing process at the furniture inlet, dedicated automated equipment utilizes precise control via a PT100 temperature sensor and digital thermostat, significantly reducing wax temperature fluctuations and significantly improving wax layer uniformity compared to traditional manual waxing. The rotating flip function of the surface conditioner ensures consistent wax penetration, significantly improving penetration efficiency compared to manual application. A dual-layer design of electromagnetic heating coils and thermal oil chambers ensures constant wax temperature heating, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional electric heating.

[0027] 5. During the wax sealing process at the furniture inlet, the equipment's lifting system and suction tray enable automated material removal and application, reducing manual labor. The control panel integrates temperature display and timing functions to simplify the operation process. Formula adjustments tailored to different scenarios (e.g., enhancing wear resistance for standard furniture, while strengthening mildew resistance for specialized environments) allow the process to be applied to a wide range of furniture types, including solid wood tables, chairs, and cabinets, expanding its applicability.

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The present invention provides a wax sealing process for furniture inlet grooves, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare a wax composition: by weight, consisting of 68-70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10-12% cooked linseed oil, and 3-7% tea tree essential oil; S2. Mix beeswax and palm wax and heat to 75±2℃ until completely melted; S3. Add cooked linseed oil preheated to 60±2℃ and stir for 5 minutes until emulsified. S4. Cool to 50±2℃, add tea tree essential oil and stir evenly; S5. Apply the wax composition to the groove of the furniture to put the groove into a flexible connection state without glue.

[0031] A wax composition is created by combining beeswax, palm wax, cooked linseed oil, and tea tree oil in specific proportions. After heating, melting, emulsification, cooling, and adding ingredients according to a precise temperature-controlled process, it is applied to the furniture's entry slots, leveraging the wax's plasticity and sealing properties to achieve glue-free connections. Beeswax provides basic sealing and permeability, palm wax enhances hardness, cooked linseed oil improves compatibility with wood, and tea tree oil imparts mildew resistance. These ingredients work synergistically to avoid the environmental concerns associated with adhesives. The wax's flexible nature allows the wood to expand and contract naturally, reducing cracking and noise, while effectively sealing and protecting the entry slots and extending the furniture's lifespan.

[0032] In this embodiment, the wax composition comprises, by weight, 68% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10% cooked linseed oil, and 7% tea tree essential oil.

[0033] This wax wax utilizes a specific blend of 68% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10% cooked linseed oil, and 7% tea tree oil to increase the tea tree oil content and enhance the wax composition's mildew and antibacterial properties, making it suitable for applications requiring high mildew resistance. It effectively inhibits mold growth in high-humidity and other environments, ensuring durability in furniture grooves. It's particularly suitable for use in humid environments.

[0034] Specifically, when applied to ordinary furniture, the wax composition comprises, by weight, 70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 12% cooked linseed oil, and 3% tea tree essential oil.

[0035] For common furniture, the wax composition ratio is adjusted to 70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 12% cooked linseed oil, and 3% tea tree oil. Increasing the proportion of beeswax and cooked linseed oil improves the wear resistance of the wax layer and its bond with the wood, meeting the needs of common use scenarios. This makes the wax layer more wear-resistant in daily use, more firmly bonded to the wood, and adapts to the regular use intensity of ordinary furniture, ensuring the durability of the wax sealing effect.

[0036] Further, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes special automated equipment for the wax sealing process at the furniture inlet groove, the special automated equipment includes a heating container 1, and a lifting system 4 is installed on the upper part of the heating container 1. The lifting system 4 includes a lifting plate 41, and the two sides of the lifting plate 41 are driven to lift and lower by electric lifting rods 44. A hydraulic lifter 42 is installed on the lifting plate 41, and a suction plate 43 is installed on the bottom output shaft of the hydraulic lifter 42. The suction plate 43 performs a suction operation by a negative pressure pump, and a heating system 2 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the heating container 1.

[0037] The dedicated automated equipment's heating vessel 1 provides a space for processing the wax composition. A lifting system 4 includes a lifting platform 41, driven up and down by electric lift rods 44 on either side. A hydraulic lifter 42 on the lifting platform 41 drives a suction plate 43 attached to the bottom output shaft. This plate draws material via a negative pressure pump, enabling automated material removal and coating operations. A heating system 2 on the bottom inner wall of the heating vessel 1 heats and melts the wax composition. This replaces manual operation, improving the automation level of the wax sealing process, reducing human error and boosting production efficiency. It also ensures that the wax composition is processed and applied at the appropriate temperature through the heating vessel 1, lifting system 4, and other components.

[0038] Furthermore, a control panel 45 , a temperature display 46 , and a timer 47 are installed on one side of the lifting plate 41 .

[0039] A control panel 45 mounted on one side of the lift plate 41 controls equipment operation. A temperature display 46 displays the wax liquid temperature in real time, and a timer 47 controls the process time, enabling precise control of the wax sealing process. This allows operators to monitor the temperature display 46 and timer 47 in real time through the control panel 45, adjust process parameters, and ensure that each step is carried out according to the set requirements, thereby improving process stability and reliability.

[0040] Furthermore, the outer wall of the heating container 1 is provided with an outer insulation board 11, and the interior of the heating container 1 is a double-layer cavity structure, which comprises a wax composition filling layer 12 and a heat transfer oil filling layer 13. The difference between the heat transfer oil temperature of the heat transfer oil filling layer 13 and the wax liquid temperature of the wax composition filling layer 12 does not exceed 5°C.

[0041] The outer insulation board 11 on the outer wall of the heating container 1 reduces heat loss. The internal double-layer cavity structure consists of a wax composition filling layer 12 and a thermal oil filling layer 13. The thermal oil filling layer 13 heats the wax composition filling layer 12 evenly through heat conduction, with a temperature difference of no more than 5°C between the two layers, thus preventing localized temperature anomalies in the wax liquid. The outer insulation board 11 reduces energy consumption, while the combination of the thermal oil filling layer 13 and the wax composition filling layer 12 ensures that the wax composition is processed in a stable temperature environment, ensuring uniform wax liquid quality and enhancing the wax sealing effect.

[0042] Furthermore, the heating system 2 includes a bottom tank 21 , and an electromagnetic heating coil 22 is provided inside the bottom tank 21 .

[0043] Heating system 2 includes a bottom tank 21. An electromagnetic heating coil 22 within bottom tank 21 generates heat through electromagnetic induction, heating the contents of heating container 1. This system features high heating efficiency and rapid temperature rise. The electromagnetic heating coil 22 quickly heats the wax composition to the desired temperature, improving heating efficiency, saving energy, and facilitating temperature control.

[0044] Furthermore, a roller 5 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the heating container 1.

[0045] The rollers 5 mounted on the outer wall of the bottom of the heating container 1 enable the equipment to be flexibly moved and conveniently adjust the position of the equipment according to production needs. The rollers 5 enhance the maneuverability of the equipment, adapt to different production site layouts, and improve production flexibility.

[0046] Furthermore, a temperature control system 3 is installed on the outer wall of the heating container 1, and a waste liquid outlet is provided on the bottom outer wall of the heating container 1. The temperature control system 3 includes a PT100 temperature sensor, a digital temperature controller and a high-temperature fuse, which can stably control the temperature of the wax liquid above the melting point. The temperature control accuracy of the temperature control system 3 is ±1°C. The temperature control system 3, mounted on the outer wall of the heating vessel 1, includes a PT100 temperature sensor, a digital thermostat, and a high-temperature fuse. It monitors and adjusts the wax liquid temperature in real time, ensuring it remains above its melting point with an accuracy of ±1°C. A waste liquid outlet on the bottom outer wall of the heating vessel 1 facilitates waste liquid disposal. This system precisely controls the wax liquid temperature, preventing temperature fluctuations that could affect the properties of the wax composition, ensuring the stability of the wax sealing process and enhancing equipment safety. The waste liquid outlet is also easily accessible for cleaning.

[0047] Furthermore, a material surface regulator 6 is installed inside the heating container 1. The material surface regulator 6 includes two symmetrically arranged material clamps 61 for clamping the two ends of the material. The material clamps 61 are driven by a rotating motor 62 to rotate and flip over. The material surface regulator 6 sets a rotation interval time of 1-60 seconds.

[0048] The material surface conditioner 6, installed within the heating vessel 1, comprises two symmetrically arranged material chucks 61, which hold the ends of the material. Driven by a rotary motor 62, these chucks 61 rotate and flip the material over, with a rotation interval adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds, ensuring uniform contact between the material surface and the wax solution. The chucks 61 and the rotary motor 62 of the material surface conditioner 6 ensure uniform wax sealing on all sides of the furniture's entry slot, improving wax sealing quality and reducing localized damage caused by uneven wax sealing.

[0049] The core of the furniture slot wax sealing process of the present invention is to achieve glue-free sealing of the furniture slot through the synergistic effect of a wax composition with a specific formula and automated equipment. From the perspective of wax composition, beeswax provides basic sealing and permeability, palm wax enhances the hardness of the wax layer, cooked linseed oil improves affinity with wood, and tea tree essential oil imparts mildew resistance. After the various ingredients are compounded in proportion, they can form a flexible sealing layer with the help of the plasticity of the wax, allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally while achieving sealing protection. Regarding the specialized automated equipment, the heating vessel 1 provides space for wax composition processing. The electromagnetic heating coil 22 of the heating system 2 uses electromagnetic induction heating, and the temperature control system 3 precisely controls the temperature to ensure stable wax liquid properties. The electric lift rod 44 and hydraulic lifter 42 of the lifting system 4 drive the suction plate 43 for automated material removal and coating. The material clamping plate 61 and rotating motor 62 of the material surface conditioner 6 ensure uniform contact between all surfaces of the material and the wax liquid. The outer insulation board 11 reduces heat loss, and the rollers 5 enhance the equipment's maneuverability. 2. Working Process Prepare the wax composition: By weight, prepare 68-70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10-12% cooked linseed oil, and 3-7% tea tree oil. For applications requiring high mildew resistance, use a ratio of 68% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 10% cooked linseed oil, and 7% tea tree oil. For general furniture applications, use a ratio of 70% beeswax, 15% palm wax, 12% cooked linseed oil, and 3% tea tree oil. Heating and melting the wax composition: Beeswax and palm wax are placed in the wax composition layer 12 of the heating container 1. The mixture is heated to 75±2°C by the electromagnetic heating coil 22 in the bottom tank 21 of the heating system 2, completely melting the wax composition. During the heating process, the outer insulation board 11 on the outer wall of the heating container 1 reduces heat loss, while the internal thermal oil layer 13 conducts heat evenly across the wax composition layer 12, ensuring a temperature difference of no more than 5°C. Simultaneously, the temperature control system 3 monitors and adjusts the temperature in real time, ensuring a temperature control accuracy of ±1°C. Emulsification and ingredient addition: After beeswax and palm wax are completely melted, add cooked linseed oil preheated to 60±2℃ and stir for 5 minutes until emulsified. Then cool to 50±2℃ and add tea tree essential oil and stir evenly. Automated material collection and coating preparation: The operator starts the equipment through the control panel 45 on one side of the lifting plate 41, the electric lifting rod 44 drives the lifting plate 41 to rise and fall, the hydraulic lifter 42 drives the suction plate 43 to descend, and the suction plate 43 sucks material from the wax composition filling layer 12 through the negative pressure pump. Material Handling and Wax Sealing: The material at the entry slot of the furniture is placed into the heating container 1. The two material chucks 61 of the material surface conditioner 6 clamp the material at both ends. The rotation interval of the material surface conditioner 6 can be set from 1 to 60 seconds via the control panel 45. The rotary motor 62 drives the material chucks 61 to rotate and flip the material, ensuring that all surfaces of the material are evenly exposed to the wax liquid. Simultaneously, the suction plate 43 applies the wax composition to the entry slot of the material. Throughout the entire process, a temperature display 46 displays the wax liquid temperature in real time, and a timer 47 controls the timing of each step to ensure a precise wax sealing process. Equipment movement and waste liquid treatment: If the equipment position needs to be adjusted, the equipment can be moved with the help of the rollers 5 on the bottom outer wall of the heating container 1. After the process is completed, the waste liquid generated is discharged through the waste liquid outlet on the bottom outer wall of the heating container 1. Wax sealing is completed: the wax composition forms a flexible sealing layer at the groove portion of the furniture, so that the portion is in a flexible connection state without glue, thus completing the wax sealing process.
