[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This embodiment provides a real wood veneer spray leveling and moisturizing device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a reciprocating conveyor belt 1 and a unidirectional linear conveyor belt 2 connected in sequence. Several veneer leveling devices 3 are placed on the reciprocating conveyor belt 1. A spraying device 4 is provided on the top of the discharge end of the reciprocating conveyor belt 1 corresponding to the veneer leveling device 3. A moisturizing device 5 is provided on the top of the unidirectional linear conveyor belt 2 along the conveying direction of the unidirectional linear conveyor belt 2.

[0028] The specific process is as follows:

[0029] A veneer leveling device 3 is placed at the feeding station at the inlet of the reciprocating conveyor belt 1. A layer of veneer is placed on the shaping surface of the veneer leveling device 3. The reciprocating conveyor belt 1 moves the veneer leveling device 3 to the spraying station, where the veneer is sprayed by the spraying device 4 until the moisture content of the veneer reaches 16%-20%. The reciprocating conveyor belt 1 then moves the veneer leveling device 3 back to the loading station. Workers lay a plastic mesh on top of the veneer, and then lay the next layer of veneer on the plastic mesh. The above steps are repeated 20-50 times to stack several layers of moist veneer on the veneer leveling device 3. Then, the veneer leveling device 3 is used to level and compact the several layers of veneer.

[0030] The reciprocating conveyor belt 1 drives the wood veneer leveling device 3 to move to the one-way linear transmission belt 2. The one-way linear transmission belt 2 drives the wood veneer leveling device 3 to move into the moisturizing device 5. The moisturizing device 5 moisturizes several layers of wood veneer, so that the humidity of the wood veneer is maintained at 16%-20% for 2-3 hours.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] A genuine wood veneer spray leveling and moisturizing device, an improvement on Example 1, such as... Figure 2As shown, the moisturizing device 5 includes a moisturizing cover 51, moisturizing pads 52, a water supply device, and a hygrometer. Several moisturizing pads 52 are arranged on the inner top of the moisturizing cover 51 along the conveying direction of the unidirectional linear conveyor belt 2. The inside of each moisturizing pad 52 is provided with an inner cavity. Several capillary pores connected to the inner cavity are arranged in a dense array on the bottom surface of each moisturizing pad 52. The inner cavity is connected to the water supply device. A hygrometer is installed inside the moisturizing cover 51.

[0033] The unidirectional linear drive belt 2 drives the wood veneer leveling device 3 into the interior of the moisturizing cover 51. Water is delivered to the inner cavity of the moisturizing pad 52 through the water supply device. The water in the inner cavity forms a fine water mist through several capillary pores at the bottom of the moisturizing pad 52 to fill the interior of the moisturizing cover 51. The humidity inside the moisturizing cover 51 is detected by a hygrometer to ensure that the humidity inside the moisturizing cover 51 is greater than or equal to 70%, and the moisturizing time is maintained for 2-3 hours.

[0034] Furthermore, a lifting device is provided at the top of the moisturizing cover 51, or a lifting door is provided at the end of the moisturizing cover 51 near the reciprocating conveyor belt 1. The lifting device raises the moisturizing cover 51 so that the unidirectional linear transmission belt 2 can move the wood veneer leveling device 3 to the bottom of the moisturizing cover 51. Then, the lifting device lowers the moisturizing cover 51 to cover the wood veneer leveling device 3. Alternatively, a lifting door is provided at the end of the moisturizing cover 51 near the reciprocating conveyor belt 1. The lifting door is raised so that the wood veneer leveling device 3 can move into the interior of the moisturizing cover 51. The lifting door is lowered to prevent water vapor from leaking from the interior of the moisturizing cover 51.

[0035] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, so they will not be described again.

[0038] Four positioning posts 32 are set at the four corners of the leveling groove. Positioning holes are set on the leveling plate 33 at the corresponding positions of the positioning posts 32. The positioning holes are slidably connected to the positioning posts 32. The wood veneers are stacked in sequence on the top of the pressure plate 31. Then the leveling plate 33 is pressed on the top of the wood veneers and pressure is applied to the leveling plate 33 to compact and level the wood veneers.

[0039] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or 2, so they will not be described again.

[0040] Example 4:

[0041] A genuine wood veneer spray leveling and moisturizing device, improved based on any one of Examples 1-3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the spraying device 4 includes a spray hood 41, atomizing nozzles 42, and a water supply device. The spray hood 41 is installed on top of the wood veneer leveling device 3. Several atomizing nozzles 42 are arranged closely on the inner top of the spray hood 41. The atomizing nozzles 42 are connected to the water supply device.

[0042] The spray hood 41 is used to cover the wood veneer leveling device 3 to form a relatively closed space. Water is supplied to the atomizing nozzle 42 through the water supply device. The atomizing nozzle 42 sprays water mist evenly onto the wood veneer to humidify it.

[0043] Furthermore, a lifting device is provided at the top of the spray hood 41, or lifting doors are provided at both ends of the spray hood 41.
