Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bamboo processing equipment, and particularly relates to a control system and method for an integrated bamboo processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Bamboo plants have the characteristics of fast growth rate, short cycle, and many species, and are very suitable as substitutes for wooden products with a large daily usage. At the same time, the good toughness, strong plasticity, and long fiber length of bamboo make it highly competitive in the raw material fields of products such as floors, furniture, and paper. Bamboo raw fiber is a cellulose fiber extracted from naturally grown bamboo, and it is the fifth natural fiber after cotton, hemp, wool, and silk. It has advantages such as good air permeability, instant water absorption, and antibacterial and bacteriostatic properties, and is a high-quality raw material for making clothing fabrics, matting, bed sheets, curtains, and scarves.

[0003] In order to obtain long fibers of bamboo, the bamboo needs to be processed. In the process of producing bamboo raw fiber, a series of processes such as bamboo cutting, pressing (and piercing the epidermis), soaking, fiber extraction, and drying are required. Bamboo cutting and pressing are necessary front-end processes. After the pressed bamboo slices are loaded into baskets, they are transported to the next station for further processing. Most of the existing bamboo processing equipment is used for fixed-length cutting or fragmenting single bamboo, with high labor intensity and low production efficiency. It cannot perform integrated continuous processing and control of cutting, pressing (while piercing the epidermis), and loading into baskets, seriously restricting the improvement of the production efficiency of bamboo raw fiber.

[0051] Monitoring the processing rhythm of each process through each sensor is convenient for adjustment and control. By adjusting the speed of the motor D403 of the driving device D, the tablet pressing speed can be changed, and the speed matching of other processes with the tablet pressing speed will change accordingly, so that the processing efficiency of the entire equipment can be adjusted; when the bamboo chip pressing speed is slower than the bamboo section conveying speed, the accumulation roller 307 automatically slips to achieve the speed matching of bamboo section transmission and tablet pressing.

[0052] Processing process: After the processing equipment is installed and debugged, the bundled bamboo materials are conveyed to the bamboo material support frame 104 of the feeding and sawing mechanism 1. The conveying hook 101 in the feeding area drives the bamboo materials forward. The bamboo materials are cut into several sections of fixed length by the cutting saw blade 111. Subsequently, the bamboo sections are conveyed to the bamboo section buffer mechanism 2 and are hooked by the buffer area conveying hook 206. When there is no bamboo material in the bamboo section conveying mechanism 3, the bamboo materials in the bamboo section buffer mechanism 2 are sent to the bamboo section conveying mechanism 3. Subsequently, the belt conveyor operates, and the bamboo materials are sent into the tablet pressing mechanism 4 by the conveyor belt 302 for tablet pressing. At this time, if the tablet pressing speed is slower than the bamboo section conveying speed, the accumulation roller 307 will slip to match the speed between the two. The pressed bamboo tablets are "ejected" by the tablet press, sent into the unloading mechanism 5, and then sent into the loading basket 601 through the movement of the unloading area conveying hook 501, and then transported to the next processing link.

[0053] Such as Figure 8 , Control process: The feeding induction sensor 115 detects whether there is bamboo material on the bamboo material support frame 106. If the bamboo material support frame 106 is empty, it sends a signal to control the bamboo material to be put in. The buffer area feeding sensor 211 detects whether there is bamboo material at the head of the buffer area. If the head of the buffer area is empty, it sends a signal to control the motor A109 to start, saw the bamboo material and send it to the buffer area. The buffer area discharging sensor 212 detects whether the tail of the buffer area is empty. If the tail of the buffer area is empty, it sends a signal to control the motor B205 to start, saw the bamboo material and convey it to the tail of the buffer area. The tablet press feeding sensor 310 detects whether the bamboo section conveyor belt 302 is empty. The conveyor belt feeding induction plate 311 cooperates with the tablet press feeding sensor 310 to detect whether the feeding is completed. The conveyor belt feeding induction plate 311 pushes the bamboo section into the tablet pressing mechanism 4. When all the bamboo sections are pushed into the tablet press, the feeding is completed. When the bamboo section conveyor belt 302 is empty, it sends a signal to control the motor C306 to stop, and the motor B205 starts. Wait until the bamboo section is sent to the conveyor belt 302, and then start the motor C306. The tablet press discharging sensor 406 detects whether the tablet pressing of a bamboo section is completed. After the tablet pressing of a bamboo section is completed, it controls the motor E509 to start to load the bamboo tablets into the basket. The loading induction sensor 603 detects whether the loading basket 601 is full. After the loading basket 601 is full, it is transferred to the next working station, and the next empty basket arrives.
