TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plywood processing, in particular to a plywood water supplementing device before hot pressing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Plywood is a common man-made board material, which is made of multiple layers of thin wood veneers, rotary cut or sliced, and assembled according to the principle of perpendicularity of adjacent layer texture directions, and then coated with glue and hot pressed. This kind of crisscross structure effectively offsets the anisotropy of wood, making the board have the advantages of high strength, good dimensional stability, and not easy to crack and deform, etc., and is widely used in furniture manufacturing, interior decoration, building templates and packaging fields. During the production, the water supplementing before hot pressing of plywood is a key pretreatment process, which aims to evenly apply an appropriate amount of water to the surface of the assembled board after gluing, to balance the internal moisture content gradient of the board, soften the wood fibers and promote the uniform spreading and pre-solidification of the adhesive in the early stage of hot pressing.
[0003] In the prior art, the water supplementing process before hot pressing of plywood usually adopts an online atomizing spraying system: the assembled board after gluing is carried by a conveying line, and when passing through a closed or semi-closed spraying chamber, the atomizing nozzle array installed above and below the board is automatically started under PLC control to atomize the pressurized water or water-gas mixed medium into micron-sized particles, and to uniformly spray the upper and lower surfaces of the board in a timed and quantitative manner; the sprayed board is then sent to the subsequent balancing section, usually a natural permeation section of the conveying line, for a short period of static placement to allow the water to permeate evenly into the board, and then directly enters the hot press for pressing.
[0004] However, the water amount on the surface of the board after spraying is uneven or excessive, affecting the subsequent hot pressing, and the atomizing spraying forms fine water droplets on the surface of the board, which, if directly entering the hot press, will cause steam impact or uneven gluing, and the water droplets on the surface of the board will also directly cause the water to vaporize instantaneously during the hot pressing process, resulting in local high-pressure steam impact, which not only destroys the continuity of the glue layer and the initial bonding between the veneers, causing defects such as glue opening and bubbling, but also causes uneven heating of the board due to differences in water vapor distribution, leading to problems such as local glue strength reduction, internal stress increase and board surface deformation, ultimately seriously affecting the yield and mechanical properties of the plywood.
[0005] Although the water droplets on the plywood after atomizing can be removed by the water squeezing roller, the water squeezed off from the board will carry away wood chips, dust and a small amount of pre-coated glue particles, which will adhere to the surface of the water squeezing roller and contaminate the lower surface of the subsequent board as the roller rotates, causing appearance defects and potential weak gluing layers, and accumulating and hardening on the roller, affecting the water squeezing effect and forming permanent indentations or contamination points, ultimately directly affecting the surface quality and finished product grade of the plywood.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: during use, the work starts from the feeding area at the right end of the conveying table 1. When the board blanks are in place, the laser ranging sensor 6 detects the thickness of the uppermost single board, and the signal is transmitted to the control system. According to the preset thickness threshold, the control system instructs the electric slide rail 7 to drive the corresponding end effector to move to the uppermost position of the board blanks. If it is a thick board, the grabbing manipulator 8 is lowered and performs the hooking action. If it is a thin board, the suction cup manipulator 9 is lowered and performs the vacuum adsorption. Then the board blanks are driven by the electric roller 3 to the left at a constant speed. When the board blanks enter the area between the upper atomizing box 10 and the lower atomizing box 13, the control system starts the water valve according to the position sensor signal, and the water pipes 11 and 14 supply water to the atomizing nozzles 12 and 15, respectively, to spray the upper and lower surfaces of the passing board blanks synchronously. The wet board blanks after completing the atomization continue to be transported into the squeezing area composed of the fixed block 29 and the conveying table 1. The board blanks first pass through the roll gap composed of the upper squeezing roller 34 and the lower squeezing roller 45. The upper squeezing roller 34 is installed on the sliding block 32 through the rotating shaft 33. The sliding block 32 is supported by the connecting spring 30 and the telescopic rod 31 and can vertically slide in the fixed block 29. When the board blanks of different thicknesses pass through, the upper squeezing roller 34 is lifted, the sliding block 32 moves upward and compresses the connecting spring 30, thereby providing a constant and flexible squeezing force, realizing the automatic adaptive linkage of thickness change and squeezing force. When the upper squeezing roller 34 squeezes the board and rotates passively, the rotating shaft 33 synchronously drives the gear 35 fixed at the end thereof to rotate. The gear 35 meshes with the gear 36 to transmit power to the rotating shaft 37, thereby driving the spiral conveying rod 42 to rotate in the conveying box 41. At the same time, the water scraping plate 40 fixed on the connecting block 39 is always attached to the surface of the upper squeezing roller 34 to scrape off the impurities such as wood chips and glue particles attached thereto and falls into the conveying box 41 below. The rotating spiral conveying rod 42 pushes the impurities horizontally, and finally they are discharged into the impurity collection box 43. The impurities scraped off by the water scraping plate 46 of the lower squeezing roller 45 directly fall into the impurity collection box 47. The board blanks after water removal are conveyed to the receiving plate 22 at the left end of the conveying table 1. After the laser ranging sensor 21 confirms that the board blanks are in place, the control system instructs the electric slide rails 16 and 18 to drive the grabbing manipulator 19 or the suction cup manipulator 20 to grab the board blanks according to the preset or learned feeding mode, and then transfers them to the electric roller 25 of the conveying table 23. The residual water drops are collected by the receiving groove 28, and finally the board blanks are conveyed to the downstream hot pressing process in a clean state. The whole dripping process is guaranteed in precision and reliability by the stable frame composed of the support 24, the cross frame 26 and the reinforcing frame 27.
