Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plate production equipment, and in particular to a plate feeding device and a plate production system. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people's pursuit of quality life has become increasingly strong, and the home customization industry has gradually emerged, which has led to a surge in the market demand for artificial boards. Improving the production efficiency of artificial board production lines has become the focus of research and development of artificial board production equipment today.

[0003] Today's artificial board production lines usually include process lines such as sanding lines, sawing lines and board inspection lines. The boards need to enter each process line through a board feeding device. Today's board feeding device usually takes the form of a lifting platform combined with a board pusher (for example, the CN105347047A board pusher loading device recorded in Chinese patent literature). However, due to the operating speed limit of the board pusher and the lifting platform, the number of board pushes per unit time is limited, which in turn limits the production capacity of the artificial board production line; the lifting platform needs to be shut down for a certain period of time to change stacks, which affects the production capacity of the artificial board production line.

[0004] In addition, in order to protect the product boards, protective plates are usually provided on the upper and lower sides of the product boards. This requires an additional device for removing the protective plates on the wood-based panel production line when using the current board feeding device. However, adding equipment not only makes the operation complicated and the failure rate high, but also increases the cost of the wood-based panel production line. Moreover, when using the current board feeding device, the boards need to be edge-aligned to ensure the directional accuracy of the board pusher pushing the boards, but the edge-aligning process will lead to the consumption of the board raw materials.
