[0044] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.
[0045] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.
[0046] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” used in this invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order.
[0047] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.
[0048] The first aspect of this utility model provides a support device 100 for processing slab 300 to produce sheet products. The support device 100 includes a support member 110, a transmission member 130, and a pressure member 120. The transmission member 130 is movable along the thickness direction DH between a first position and a second position, and includes a limiting end 131 and a driving end 132 disposed opposite each other along a first direction D1 perpendicular to the thickness direction DH. The pressure member 120 is movably disposed along the first direction D1, and includes an abutment end 121 and a pressure end 122 disposed opposite each other along the first direction D1. The pressure end 122 includes a first pressure surface 123 extending along the thickness direction DH. The abutment end 121 abuts against the driving end 132 of the transmission member 130. The pressure member 120 is supported on the support member 110 for laterally pressurizing the slab 300 supported on the support member 110. Among them, the upper end of the drive end 132 is closer to the center of the support member 110 along the first direction D1 than the lower end, the transmission member 130 located in the first position protrudes from the pressure member 120 along the thickness direction DH, and the second position is lower than the first position.
[0049] According to the present invention, the support device 100 is used to process slab 300 to produce board products. When the transmission component 130 is subjected to a downward force, it can convert the vertical force into a horizontal force applied to the side of the slab 300 by the pressure component 120, thereby pressurizing the side of the slab 300 to achieve edge compaction of the board, overcoming the defects of poor edge compaction and unsightly appearance, avoiding the need for a large amount of manual labor to repair holes or gaps later, and producing board products with high edge compaction and few gaps, thus reducing production costs.
[0050] It should be noted that the directional terms used for the various components and parts of the support device described in this utility model are relative to the support device in a horizontally placed and upright state, in which case the working surface of the support member is horizontal. "First direction" and "second direction" are parallel to the horizontal direction. "Thickness direction" can be the thickness direction of the slab or plate, parallel to the vertical direction and parallel to the height direction of the support device and the pressing system. "Inner" refers to the direction along the first direction that is closer to the center of the support member, and "outer" refers to the direction along the first direction that is farther away from the center of the support member.
[0051] In this paper, "first position" is defined as: (1) when the top of the transmission member not subjected to a downward external force is higher than the slab to be processed, "first position" is when the transmission member subjected to a downward external force moves downward to a position where its top is level with the slab to be processed along the height direction; or (2) when the top of the transmission member not subjected to a downward external force is not higher than the slab to be processed, "first position" is the position of the transmission member not subjected to a downward external force. The slab to be processed is placed in the placement area.
[0052] In this paper, "second position" is defined as follows: the second position is the desired position to which the transmission component in the first position moves downward after being subjected to a downward external force. The distance along the height direction between the top of the transmission component in the second position and the placement area is equal to the desired thickness of the sheet metal product to be processed. The desired thickness of the sheet metal product to be processed is less than the thickness of the blank to be processed, and not less than the distance along the height direction between the top of the pressure component and the placement area.
[0053] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The supporting device 100 may include a supporting member 110, a transmission member 130, a pressure member 120, a fixing member 150, a connecting member 140, an elastic member 170, and a positioning member 160.
[0054] The support member 110 can be generally constructed as a pallet in the prior art. Pairs of pressure members 120 can be supported on the support member 110 for simultaneously applying pressure to both sides of the slab 300 supported on the support member 110 along a first direction D1. Each pair of pressure members 120 is spaced apart from each other along the first direction D1. A placement area 111 is formed between each pair of pressure members 120 on the working surface of the support member 110. The slab 300 can be placed into the placement area 111 by means such as hoisting for processing.
[0055] The slab 300 can be a multi-layer composite structure of bamboo and wood layers, with adhesive layers between the layers.
[0056] In embodiments not shown, a single-sided pressure member 120 may also be provided to apply pressure to one side of the slab 300.
[0057] refer to Figures 2 to 4 The fixing component 150, the transmission component 130, and the pressure component 120 can be arranged sequentially along the first direction D1, with the pressure component 120 being closest to the blank 300 to be processed. The number of the fixing component 150, the transmission component 130, and the pressure component 120 are respectively corresponding.
[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 5The fixing member 150 can be fixedly connected to the supporting member 110, and the restraining end 151 of the fixing member 150 abuts against the limiting end 131 of the transmission member 130 along the first direction D1. In some embodiments, the limiting end 131 of the transmission member 130 can be configured with a limiting slope that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom along the thickness direction DH, and the limiting slope is inclined such that the upper end is further away from the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than the lower end. The driving end 132 can be configured with a driving slope that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom along the thickness direction DH, and the driving slope is inclined such that the upper end is closer to the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than the lower end. The restraining end 151 of the fixing member 150 can be configured with a restraining slope that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom along the thickness direction DH, and the restraining slope is inclined such that the lower end is closer to the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than the upper end. The abutting end 121 of the pressure member 120 is constructed with an abutting slope that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom along the thickness direction DH. The abutting slope is inclined such that the lower end is further away from the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than the upper end. The constraint slope and the limiting slope can at least partially form an abutting fit. The driving slope and the abutting slope can at least partially form an abutting fit.
[0059] That is, the driving ramp can be configured such that its upper end is closer to the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than its lower end. The limiting ramp can be configured such that its upper end is farther from the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than its lower end. The restraining ramp can be configured such that its lower end is closer to the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than its upper end. The abutting ramp can be configured such that its lower end is farther from the center of the supporting member 110 along the first direction D1 than its upper end.
[0060] Therefore, when the transmission member 130 is subjected to a downward force, during the movement of the transmission member 130 from the first position to the second position, its driving end 132 (specifically, a driving inclined surface) applies an inward driving force along the first direction D1 to the abutment end 121 of the pressure member 120. That is, the vertically downward force on the transmission member 130 can be decomposed into a horizontal driving force inward along the first direction D1, and the pressure member 120 is driven by this horizontal driving force to move inward along the first direction D1. The pressure member 120 moves inward to pressurize the side of the blank 300 to be processed. Specifically, the pressing end 122 of the pressure member 120 can directly pressurize the side of the blank 300 to be processed. More specifically, the first pressing surface 123 of the pressing end 122 of the pressure member 120, which extends along the thickness direction DH, can directly pressurize the side of the blank 300 to be processed. At the same time, the transmission component 130 is subjected to an inward reaction force by the fixed component 150, which constrains the transmission component 130 and prevents it from moving outward.
[0061] The first pressure surface 123 can also prevent the edge material of the slab from being squeezed outward.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, the pressure member 120 may be welded together from a push block and a movable thickness gauge. The movable thickness gauge is located between the push block and the transmission member 130 along a first direction. The abutting end 121 of the pressure member 120 may be the movable thickness gauge. The movable thickness gauge may serve to fix the thickness, enabling the manufactured sheet metal to have a specified or set thickness. The pressure end 122 of the pressure member 120 may be the push block.
[0063] In some embodiments, the pressing end 122 of the pressing member 120 may further include a second pressing surface 124 extending along a first direction D1. The second pressing surface 124 extends from the bottom end of the first pressing surface 123 in a direction away from the transmission member 130, and the dimension of the second pressing surface 124 along the thickness direction DH is smaller than the dimension of the first pressing surface 123 along the thickness direction DH. The second pressing surface 124 can prevent the edge material of the blank 300 from being squeezed outward. Thus, when the blank 300 to be processed is subjected to downward pressure from, for example, the press 210, the second pressing surface 124 applies upward and inward pressure to the blank 300 to be processed, thereby enabling a tenon to be formed at the bottom edge of the blank 300. It can be understood that the periphery of the tenon located at the bottom edge of the blank 300 is further squeezed upward and inward by the second pressing surface 124, and the compactness (density) is enhanced.
[0064] The manufactured sheet metal products with mortise and tenon structures are suitable for lining certain container frames with special edge structures.
[0065] The pressure end 122 can be approximately flush with the abutment end 121 of the pressure member 120 along the thickness direction DH, thereby facilitating pressure on the entire side of the slab 300.
[0066] The end of the second pressure surface 124 away from the first pressure surface 123 along the first direction D1 may include a contact portion 126 and a guide portion 125. The contact portion 126 is located between the first pressure surface 123 and the guide portion 125 along the first direction D1. The guide portion 125 extends from the contact portion 126 away from the transmission member 130 along the first direction D1, and the guide portion 125 is recessed into the contact portion 126 along the thickness direction DH. As a result, the formed tenon has a suitable chamfered structure.
[0067] Of course, if needed and / or desired, the second pressurized surface 124 may not be provided.
[0068] In some embodiments, the maximum dimension of the fixing member 150 along the thickness direction DH is equal to the maximum dimension of the abutment end 121 of the pressure member 120 along the thickness direction DH; the maximum dimension of the pressure end 122 of the pressure member 120 along the thickness direction DH is less than or equal to the maximum dimension of the abutment end 121 along the thickness direction DH. In actual operation, the fixing member 150 and / or the abutment end 121 of the pressure member 120 can simultaneously function as a thickness gauge, in other words, to determine the thickness, ensuring that the manufactured sheet material has a specified or set thickness. That is, it can be used to conveniently and easily control the thickness of the processed sheet material products when pressing the blank 300 using the press 210.
[0069] In actual operation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the supporting device 100 may further include a positioning member 160 to further fix the thickness of the blank 300 during processing, which is beneficial to ensure that the thickness of the manufactured sheet material has a specified or set thickness and high thickness consistency. That is to say, the positioning member 160 can also be equivalent to a thickness gauge. In practical applications, the positioning member 160 can also be used to limit the blank 300 to be processed or during processing, preventing it from leaving the placement area 111 along the second direction D2. Pairs of positioning members 160 can be arranged opposite each other at intervals along the second direction D2, and the transmission member 130 located in the first position protrudes from the positioning member 160 along the thickness direction DH. Thus, the placement area 111 for placing the blank 300 to be processed can be the area located on the working surface of the supporting member 110 and enclosed by the pressure member 120 and the positioning member 160. The positioning member 160 can be flush with the fixing member 150 along the thickness direction DH, and also serves as a thickness gauge.
[0070] Understandably, the transmission member 130 is movable along the thickness direction DH between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the transmission member 130 protrudes along the thickness direction DH from the pressure member 120 and the positioning member 160, while in the second position it is lower than the first position. This allows the press plate 212 of the press 210 to apply a downward force to the transmission member 130 when the press 210 is used to press the blank 300; in other words, the transmission member 130 can receive the downward force applied by the press plate 212 of the press 210.
[0071] The second position can be no higher than the height of the pressing end 122 of the fixing member 150 or the pressing member 120. This allows the thickness of the processed sheet material product to be easily and simply controlled by controlling the height of the pressing end 122 of the fixing member 150 or the pressing member 120 (i.e., the dimension along the thickness direction DH).
[0072] If needed and / or desired, the second position can also be at a height higher than the pressure end 122 of the fixed member 150 or the pressure member 120. In this case, the thickness of the sheet material product formed can be controlled by controlling the specific position of the second position.
[0073] refer to Figure 5 The elastic member 170 can be configured to be telescopic along its thickness direction DH. The upper end of the elastic member 170 is connected to the bottom end of the transmission member 130, and the lower end of the elastic member 170 is connected to the support member 110. The elastic member 170 can support the transmission member 130, which is not subjected to external force, in a first position. When the transmission member 130 is subjected to a downward force, the elastic member 170 can cause the transmission member 130 to be relatively slowly pressed down to a second position, thus providing cushioning and shock absorption. Understandably, the sum of the height of the elastic member 170 at its compression limit and the height of the transmission member 130 is not greater than the height of the abutment end 121 of the fixing member 150 and / or the pressure member 120. When the external force on the transmission member 130 is removed, the elastic member 170 resets, driving the transmission member 130 back to the first position. For example, the elastic member 170 can be configured as a compression spring or an air spring.
[0074] Understandably, the second position is lower than the first position and is further inward than the first position.
[0075] Figure 4 The diagram schematically illustrates the process of the transmission member 130 moving downwards and inwards from a first position to an intermediate position, and then continuing to move downwards and inwards to a second position. The intermediate position is schematically defined as a position between the first and second positions.
[0076] in addition, Figure 1 The location 171 of the elastic member 170 is shown in the figure.
[0077] The supporting device 100 may further include a connecting member 140, which is pivotally connected at both ends along the first direction D1 to the fixing member 150 and the pressure member 120, respectively. This makes the structure stable and allows the pressure member 120 to return to its original position after inward movement, for example, the position where the abutting ramp of the pressure member 120 and the driving ramp of the transmission member 130 are at least partially engaged.
[0078] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The connecting member 140 may include a first arm 141 and a second arm 142. The first arm 141 has a first pivot end 141a and a second pivot end 141b disposed opposite each other along a first direction D1. The first pivot end 141a is pivotally connected to the fixing member 150 about a first axis, and the second pivot end 141b is pivotally connected to the transmission member 130 about a second axis. The second arm 142 has a third pivot end 142a and a fourth pivot end 142b disposed opposite each other along the first direction D1. The third pivot end 142a is pivotally connected to the pressurizing member 120 about a third axis, and the fourth pivot end 142b is pivotally connected to the transmission member 130 about the second axis. The first axis, second axis, and third axis are all parallel to the second direction D2, which is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the thickness direction DH. Both the second pivot end 141b and the fourth pivot end 142b are pivotable about the second axis and can be pivotally connected to the same pivot axis (which restricts the second axis).
[0079] This makes the structure stable, and under the drive of the transmission member 130 during the process of returning to the first position, the pressure member 120, after moving inward, can return to its original position, for example, the position where the abutting slope of the pressure member 120 and the driving slope of the transmission member 130 can at least partially abut and cooperate.
[0080] A second aspect of this invention provides a pressing system 200. The pressing system 200 may include a support device 100 according to any of the foregoing embodiments, a conveying device, and a press 210. The press 210 may include columns 211 and pressure plates 212. Pairs of pressure plates 212 are spaced apart opposite each other along the thickness direction DH. The columns 211 are arranged vertically, in pairs, and spaced apart horizontally. The pressure plates 212 are disposed between the pairs of columns 211 and are movable along the thickness direction DH. At least one pressure plate 212 is configured to be movably connected to the column 211 in the vertical direction. The conveying device is used to convey the support device 100, which supports (or places) a slab 300, between the pairs of pressure plates 212. The support device 100, on which the slab 300 to be processed is placed, can be placed on the lower pressure plate 212 (i.e., the lower pressure plate 212b) or above the lower pressure plate 212b, located between the upper pressure plate 212a (i.e., the upper pressure plate 212) and the lower pressure plate 212b. The support device 100 can be placed directly on the lower pressure plate 212b.
[0081] The conveying device can be any existing conveying device, and no specific limitation is made in this utility model.
[0082] Press 210 can be a hot press 210, and pressure plate 212 can be a hot pressure plate 212. This allows the layers of the blank 300 to bond more tightly during the pressing process and increases the density.
[0083] Of course, if needed and / or desired, the press 210 can also be a cold press 210, and the platen 212 can also be a cold platen, which saves energy and reduces consumption, and is especially suitable for processing materials such as heat-sensitive materials and materials that are easily deformed by heat.
[0084] In some embodiments, the pressing system 200 may include a hydraulic cylinder whose piston rod can push the lower platen 212b of the press 210 upward, thereby causing the support device 100 located between the pairs of plates of the press to move upward.
[0085] The pressing system 200 according to this utility model includes all the features and effects of the support device 100 according to this utility model.
[0086] During the process of the upper pressure plate 212a of the press 210 and the transmission component 130 approaching each other along the thickness direction DH, for example, when the upper pressure plate 212a of the press 210 moves downward or the lower pressure plate 212b moves upward, the upper pressure plate 212a can apply a downward force to the transmission component 130 of the support device 100 located between the paired pressure plates 212 of the press 210, so that the support device 100 can press the side of the blank 300 to achieve edge compaction of the board, overcome the defects of poor edge compaction and unsightly appearance, avoid the need for a lot of manual labor to repair holes or gaps later, and produce board products with high edge compaction and few gaps, thus reducing production costs.
[0087] The process of processing slab 300 into sheet products is described in the following exemplary description.
[0088] The slab 300 to be processed is lifted and placed into the placement area 111 of the support device 100 using, for example, a crane. The support device 100 and the slab 300 are then transported together to the space between the upper pressure plate 212a and the lower pressure plate 212b of the press 210 using a conveying device, for example, the slab can be placed on the lower pressure plate 212b. In some embodiments, the highest point of the slab 300 to be processed may be higher than the transmission member 130 located in the first position. The lower pressure plate 212b moves upward to drive the support device 100 located on the lower pressure plate 212b to move upward until it can contact the slab 300. The lower pressure plate 212b continues to move upward so that the slab 300 exerts an upward pressure on the upper pressure plate 212a. The slab 300 is subjected to a reaction force from the upper pressure plate 212a, which can also be understood as the slab 300 being subjected to a downward pressure from the upper pressure plate 212a, compressing the slab 300 until the upper pressure plate 212a can contact the transmission member 130 located in the first position. The lower pressure plate 212b continues to move upward so that the upper pressure plate 212a continues to press the transmission member 130 downward until the second position. (Reference) Figure 4 The diagram illustrates that during the downward pressing process, the transmission member 130 compresses the elastic member 170 downward. The limiting slope of the transmission member 130 applies force to the fixed member 150 and is subject to the inward reaction force of the constraint slope of the fixed member 150 along the first direction D1. The driving slope of the transmission member 130 decomposes the vertical force into a horizontal inward force along the first direction D1 and transmits this horizontal inward force to the abutting slope of the pressing member 120, causing the pressing member 120 to move inward along the first direction D1. The first pressing surface 123 of the pressing member 120 laterally compresses the side of the blank 300 inward, and the second pressing surface 124 presses the bottom of the blank 300 upward to form a sheet material product with tenons.
[0089] After processing is completed, the lower pressure plate 212b moves downward, causing the support device 100 to leave the working position. That is, the downward force on the transmission component 130 is released, and the elastic component 170 resets, causing the transmission component 130 to reset back to the first position. During this reset process, the connecting component 140, driven by the transmission component 130, drives the inwardly moved pressure component 120 back to its original position, for example, the position where the abutting inclined surface of the pressure component 120 and the driving inclined surface of the transmission component 130 can at least partially abut and cooperate.
