Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of multi-layer board preparation, and specifically relates to a laminating device and a laminating method for manufacturing multi-layer boards. Background Art
[0002] In the field of multi-layer board manufacturing, traditional laminating processes face a series of challenges. First, uneven pressure distribution leads to internal stress concentration, affecting the overall strength and stability of the board; second, incomplete penetration of the adhesive easily forms bubble residues, reducing the bonding effect; third, improper temperature control during the curing process can result in poor curing, affecting the quality of the final product. In addition, traditional multi-layer board laminating equipment is usually complex in structure and high in cost, making it difficult to meet the needs of small factories to flexibly expand production lines according to their own economic conditions. These factories often need a laminating device that can be configured on demand, is easy to expand, and is simple to operate to adapt to changing production requirements.
[0003] A Chinese patent with the application number 202310008748.5 discloses a multi-layer board laminating device, including a bottom plate, a frame, and a laminating plate arranged on the laminating machine body. The upper side wall of the bottom plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of legs. When laminating, the airbag can be inflated and expanded to abut against the peripheral side walls of the multi-layer board, which not only facilitates the positioning of the multi-layer board, but also can prevent glue from flowing out of the side of the multi-layer board during laminating, avoiding waste of glue. Moreover, after laminating, there is no need to clean the residual glue, which is more environmentally friendly and has higher efficiency. At the same time, after laminating, the airbag contracts and resets and no longer abuts against the side wall of the multi-layer board, facilitating the removal of the laminated multi-layer board, making it more convenient to use. And after laminating, the laminated multi-layer board can be lifted, preventing the multi-layer board from closely adhering to the workbench, thus facilitating its removal and making it more convenient to use.
[0004] A Chinese patent with the application number 202411809314.6 discloses a plywood production laminating device, a hydraulic power laminating component, and a hot pressing intermediate sandwich component. The hot pressing intermediate sandwich component is arranged on the hydraulic power laminating component. The hydraulic power laminating component includes a fixed bottom plate and a movable pressing plate, and the movable pressing plate is configured to move up and down relative to the fixed bottom plate. The movable pressing plate and the fixed bottom plate are used for hot pressing the plywood. The hot pressing intermediate sandwich component includes a sandwich plate arranged between the movable pressing plate and the fixed bottom plate, and the distance between the sandwich plate and the fixed bottom plate is adjustable. The sandwich plate is internally provided with heating pipes for heating the sandwich plate. The working position during the feeding process remains unchanged, and there is no need to perform climbing operations, making the feeding process more convenient and safe. It can also cooperate with various feeding machines to achieve automatic feeding.
[0005] However, the following problems still exist in actual applications, specifically:
[0006] 1. Lack of scalability and flexibility: These two patents do not fully consider the actual needs of small factories. The equipment does not have a modular design, making it difficult to purchase according to demand and flexibly expand. This means that factories face high cost pressure during initial investment, and when expanding the production line later, they need to purchase a complete set of equipment again, increasing operating costs.
[0007] 2. Limited degree of automation: Although both patents mention automated operation, in actual applications, they fail to fully achieve the automatic picking and placing function of multi-layer boards and still require a lot of manual intervention. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases labor costs and safety hazards.
[0008] 3. The problems of uneven pressure distribution and poor curing have not been completely solved: Although these two patents have made improvements in improving pressure distribution and curing effects, they still do not reach the ideal state. Specifically, when processing boards of different thicknesses and materials, there may still be situations of excessive or insufficient local pressure, as well as poor curing phenomena caused by improper temperature control.
[0009] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and defects has become the key problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0032] A pressing method, applied to the above-mentioned pressing equipment for manufacturing multi-layer boards, includes the following steps:
[0033] a. Material preparation: Select appropriate single boards, evenly apply an environment-friendly adhesive on their surfaces, stack the single boards neatly according to the designed number of layers, and ensure the alignment between each layer and the consistency of the adhesive application.
[0034] b. Equipment preparation: According to the specific size of the multi-layer board, adjust the distance between the fixed bottom frame and the fixed top plate to ensure that the pressing assembly can work smoothly. Turn on all hydraulic cylinders, air cylinders and related control systems to ensure that all components are in a standby state.
[0035] c, Preliminary positioning and fixation: The stacked multi-layer boards are moved from the outside to the center position of the working area of the lamination assembly by the moving component. After that, the moving component is moved out of the working area, and the first hydraulic cylinder is used to drive the lifting bin to rise so that the first rubber pad gently touches the top of the multi-layer board;
[0036] d, Auxiliary lamination and preliminary lamination: Start the ultrasonic generator in the bonding unit to apply ultrasonic vibration at a specific frequency (for example, 20 kHz to 40 kHz) to the multi-layer board, and start the vacuum pump set outside to evacuate the working area to promote the uniform penetration of the adhesive between the boards and reduce the formation of bubbles. The second hydraulic cylinder drives the lamination plate to rise to start the preliminary lamination process, applying a low pressure (0.1 MPa) for 3 to 5 minutes to initially remove air and fix the positions of each layer. During this process, the pressure sensor monitors the pressure distribution at the bottom of the lamination plate in real time, and then pressurizes, and dynamically adjusts the pressure magnitude through the auxiliary cylinder and the third hydraulic cylinder, while ensuring that the lamination sequence is from the middle to both sides to ensure uniform lamination;

[0038] f, Cooling and final inspection: After the lamination is completed, the temperature is gradually reduced to room temperature, and a constant pressure is maintained during this period until the board is completely cured to avoid product deformation or increased internal stress caused by sudden temperature changes. The finished product is taken out using the moving component for comprehensive quality inspection, including physical property tests (such as flexural strength, bonding strength, etc.) and appearance inspection to ensure that all products meet the standard requirements.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0040] 1. In the present invention, mounting columns are provided at the four corners of the bottom end of the fixed chassis, and mating assembly columns are provided at the four corners of the top end of the fixed top plate, so that multiple devices can be conveniently stacked. It is suitable for small factories to flexibly purchase corresponding numbers of devices according to their own economic situations, and new device units can be added at any time according to production requirements, thereby realizing the rapid expansion and adjustment of the production line. At the same time, the modular structure design can improve the overall stability and reliability of the device, simplify the maintenance and replacement process, and reduce the maintenance cost and downtime.
[0041] 2. By combining the use of the first hydraulic cylinder, the auxiliary cylinder, and the third hydraulic cylinder, and combining with the pressure sensor to monitor and dynamically adjust the pressure distribution at the bottom of the pressing plate in real time, the present invention ensures that each area can obtain the optimal pressure distribution during the entire pressing process. This precise pressure control method greatly reduces the phenomenon of internal stress concentration, improves the quality and consistency of the final product, and adopts a pressing sequence from the middle to both sides to ensure uniform pressing, effectively avoiding problems such as material damage or deformation caused by excessive local pressure.
[0042] 3. The present invention starts the ultrasonic generator in the bonding unit to apply ultrasonic vibrations with a specific frequency to the multi-layer board, which can promote the uniform penetration of the adhesive between the boards, reduce the formation of bubbles, enhance the bonding strength and overall stability. At the same time, using the vacuum pump set externally to evacuate the working area, further removing air and optimizing the penetration effect of the adhesive to ensure the tight combination of each layer of veneer.
[0043] 4. The present invention can heat the multi-layer board in zones through the heating device set externally to ensure that the adhesive cures within the optimal temperature range (usually 80°C to 120°C). This zone heating method not only improves the curing efficiency but also reduces energy consumption, achieving the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection. Combining with the data feedback from the temperature sensor and pressure sensor in the detection unit, the central control system can further optimize the pressing parameters, including the magnitude of pressure, holding time, and temperature control, etc., to ensure that each multi-layer board can reach the ideal curing state.
[0044] 5. The present invention realizes the automatic picking and placing of the multi-layer board through the moving assembly composed of the guide rail, the sliding plate, the moving plate, the I-beam and the suction cup on it, reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency and safety, and the entire equipment is equipped with an advanced hydraulic system, an electrical control system and a working state monitoring system for other key components to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment and can be intelligently adjusted according to actual needs to meet the production tasks of multi-layer boards with different specifications and requirements.

[0074] Control the operation of the first hydraulic cylinder 542, drive the lifting bin 51 to rise along the guide rod 543 through the pallet 541, so that the first rubber pad 52 is in contact with the fixed top plate 2. At this time, an operation cavity is formed between the upper part of the lifting bin 51 and the bottom end of the fixed top plate 2 through the pressing plate 551, the fixed top plate 2, the first rubber pad 52, and the second rubber pad 553, which is convenient for subsequent defoaming operations. Start the ultrasonic generator 581 in the fitting unit 58, apply ultrasonic vibration with a specific frequency (for example, 20 kHz to 40 kHz) to the multilayer board, and start the vacuum pump set outside to evacuate the working area, promoting the uniform penetration of the adhesive between the boards and reducing the formation of bubbles. After the defoaming treatment, control the operation of the second hydraulic cylinder 561, drive the pressing plate 551 to rise through the lifting plate 562, and start the preliminary pressing process, applying a low pressure (0.1 MPa) for 3 to 5 minutes to initially remove air and fix the positions of each layer. Then, apply pressure and dynamically adjust the pressure magnitude through the auxiliary cylinder 563 and the third hydraulic cylinder 564, while ensuring that the pressing sequence is from the middle to both sides to ensure uniform pressing. During this process, based on the pressure and temperature data provided by the detection unit 57, the central control system further optimizes the pressing parameters, including the pressure magnitude, holding time, and temperature control, etc. If necessary, the multilayer board can be heated in zones using a heating device to ensure that the adhesive cures within the optimal temperature range (usually 80 °C to 120 °C).
[0075] After the pressing is completed, use the suction cup 70 to take the pressing plate 551 from the working area to the outside.
[0076] The present invention also provides a pressing method, which is applied to the pressing equipment for manufacturing the above-mentioned multilayer board. The multilayer board pressing method includes the following steps:
[0077] a. Material preparation: Select appropriate single boards, evenly apply an environmentally friendly adhesive on their surfaces, stack the single boards neatly according to the designed number of layers, and ensure the alignment between each layer and the consistency of the adhesive application;
[0078] b. Equipment preparation: According to the specific size of the multilayer board, adjust the distance between the fixed bottom frame 1 and the fixed top plate 2 to ensure that the pressing assembly 5 can work smoothly. Turn on all hydraulic cylinders, cylinders, and related control systems to ensure that all components are in the standby state;
[0079] c. Preliminary positioning and fixing: Move the stacked multilayer board from the outside to the center position of the working area of the pressing assembly 5 through the moving assembly 6, then move the moving assembly 6 out of the working area, and use the first hydraulic cylinder 542 to drive the lifting bin 51 to rise so that the first rubber pad 52 gently touches the top of the multilayer board;
[0080] d, Auxiliary Pressing and Preliminary Pressing: Start the ultrasonic generator 581 in the laminating unit 58 to apply ultrasonic vibrations at a specific frequency (e.g., 20 kHz to 40 kHz) to the multilayer board, and start the vacuum pump set externally to evacuate the working area, promoting the uniform penetration of the adhesive between the boards, reducing the formation of bubbles. The second hydraulic cylinder 561 drives the pressing plate 551 to rise, starting the preliminary pressing process, applying a low pressure (0.1 MPa) for 3 to 5 minutes to initially remove air and fix the positions of each layer. During this process, the pressure sensor 571 monitors the pressure distribution at the bottom of the pressing plate 551 in real time, and then pressurizes, and dynamically adjusts the pressure magnitude through the auxiliary cylinder 563 and the third hydraulic cylinder 564, while ensuring that the pressing sequence is from the middle to both sides to ensure uniform pressing;
[0081] e, Cooling and Sanding: Precise Pressing and Curing: Based on the pressure and temperature data provided by the detection unit 57, the central control system further optimizes the pressing parameters, including the pressure magnitude, holding time, and temperature control, etc. If necessary, the multilayer board can be heated in zones using a heating device to ensure that the adhesive cures within the optimal temperature range (usually 80°C to 120°C);
[0082] f, Cooling and Final Inspection: After the pressing is completed, gradually reduce the temperature to room temperature, maintaining a constant pressure until the board is completely cured, avoiding product deformation or increased internal stress caused by sudden temperature changes. Use the moving component 6 to take out the finished product and conduct a comprehensive quality inspection, including physical property tests (such as flexural strength, bonding strength, etc.) and appearance inspection to ensure that all products meet the standard requirements.
