Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wood processing technology, specifically relating to a new type of wood inserting machine. Background Technology
[0002] After the logs are rotary-cut into veneers and segmented, they need to be dried to remove excess moisture. This is typically done using a drying rack, which consists of supports on both sides and multiple spaced horizontal bars on top. These horizontal bars divide the space into individual drying compartments. The veneers are vertically inserted into these compartments and lean against the horizontal bars for drying, thus improving the speed and uniformity of the drying process.
[0003] Current technology mainly relies on manual veneer insertion. In recent years, some veneer insertion machines have emerged. However, due to the fixed conveyor structure, the clamping force is often insufficient during the veneer transmission process because the conveyor belt spacing is not adjustable. Especially when the veneer thickness varies or the surface roughness differs greatly, transmission slippage and interlayer misalignment often occur, requiring frequent machine stops for adjustment. This severely restricts continuous operation capability and affects veneer insertion and drying efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings in the efficiency and stability of existing wood inserting machines, a novel wood inserting machine is proposed. This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel wood inserting machine includes a movable base for moving relative to the inserting frame, a frame mounted on the movable base, a lifting support device for carrying wood veneer stacks mounted on the frame, and a first conveyor belt assembly and a second conveyor belt assembly for clamping and feeding wood veneer on the rear side of the lifting support device.
[0006] The first conveyor belt assembly includes a first roller, a second roller, and a first belt sleeved on the first roller and the second roller; the second conveyor belt assembly includes a third roller, a fourth roller, and a second belt sleeved on the third roller and the fourth roller; the third roller is disposed in front of the fourth roller.
[0007] The upper rear side of the second belt body contacts or gap-fits the lower front side of the first belt body to form a clamping zone; the second roller body is located below the rear of the third roller body and the fourth roller body, and the first roller body is located above the front of the third roller body and the fourth roller body and is located directly above or above the lifting support device; the first belt body forms a contact between the first roller body and the third roller body and drives the veneer to move into the clamping zone.
[0008] Preferably, a first adjusting roller is installed on the frame, the first adjusting roller is located above the second roller and behind the first roller, and the inner side of the first belt is frictionally connected to the outer side of the first adjusting roller.
[0009] Preferably, a first tension roller is installed on the frame. The first tension roller is located below the line connecting the first roller body and the first adjusting roller and above the third roller body. The outer side of the first tension roller abuts against the outer side of the first belt body.
[0010] Preferably, a second adjusting roller is installed on the frame, the second adjusting roller is located in front of and above the third roller body, and the inner surface of the second belt body abuts against the outer surface of the third roller body.
[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the fourth roller is larger than the diameters of the second and third rollers, and the rear end of the fourth roller extends directly above or behind the second roller.
[0012] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a guide plate for receiving veneer and guiding the insert plate. The guide plate is located below the fourth roller and the second roller and is inclined to the rear and lower side.
[0013] Preferably, the lifting support device is provided with a transverse feeding device for feeding material into the conveyor belt assembly on the front or upper side.
[0014] Preferably, the transverse feeding device includes a first telescopic drive device, a mounting frame, and a feeding conveyor belt.

[0015] Preferably, a vertical feeding device is installed on the frame.

[0016] Preferably, the mobile base includes a first track assembly and a second track assembly distributed on the left and right sides of the insert frame.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. An elastic clamping channel is formed by the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly. Both the first belt body and the second belt body are elastic, which allows the clamping channel to adapt to wood veneers of different thicknesses. This enables the goal of clamping multiple wood veneers at a time, which significantly improves work efficiency. Moreover, the elastic clamping ensures the stability of the wood veneers during the transmission process, effectively reducing the risk of wood veneer misalignment and slippage, thereby improving the overall work quality.

[0025] The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", and "right", are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration and not for limiting the invention of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a novel wood veneer inserting machine includes a movable base 1 for moving relative to the inserting frame 9. A frame 2 is installed on the movable base 1, and a lifting support device 3 for carrying wood veneer stacks is installed on the frame 2. A first conveyor belt assembly 4 and a second conveyor belt assembly 5 for clamping wood veneer are arranged on the rear side of the lifting support device 3. The height of the wood veneer stacks is dynamically matched through the lifting support device 3, ensuring that the conveyor belt assembly is always in a better working position, and significantly improving the continuity of wood veneer clamping.
[0027] The first conveyor belt assembly 4 includes a first roller body 42, a second roller body 43, and a first belt body 41 sleeved on the first roller body 42 and the second roller body 43. The second conveyor belt assembly 5 includes a third roller body 52, a fourth roller body 53, and a second belt body 51 sleeved on the third roller body 52 and the fourth roller body 53. The third roller body 52 is disposed in front of the fourth roller body 53, such that the upper rear side of the second belt body 51 contacts or gap-fits the lower front side of the first belt body 41 to form a clamping section 10; the second roller body 43 is disposed in front of the fourth roller body 53. The first roller 42 is located below the rear of the third roller 52 and the fourth roller 53, and is positioned above the front of the third roller 52 and the fourth roller 53 and directly above or above the lifting support device 3. The first belt 41 forms a contact between the first roller 42 and the third roller 52 and is an extension that drives the veneer to move towards the clamping section 10. The extension is inclined from the front upper to the rear lower, so that the veneer is pre-pressed before entering the clamping section 10, effectively eliminating the transmission gap and improving the stability and efficiency of veneer transmission.
[0028] During operation, the device moves forward via the movable base 1. Each forward movement involves the following process: the lifting support device 3 moves the veneer upward, and the veneer, under the friction of the extension, moves backward and enters between the first belt 41 and the second belt 51. As the first belt 41 and the second belt 51 rotate, the veneer is clamped and delivered to the rear and falls into the insertion frame 9, thus achieving automatic insertion. This process is highly efficient. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the first belt 41 and the second belt 51, more than two veneers can be clamped at a time, further improving efficiency. The process is stable, the structure is relatively simple, and maintenance is convenient.
[0029] Furthermore, a first adjusting roller 44 is installed on the frame 2. The first adjusting roller 44 is located above the second roller body 43 and behind the first roller body 42. The inner side of the first belt body 41 is frictionally connected to the outer side of the first adjusting roller 44, which can offset the upper part of the first belt body 41 from the clamping section 10 and avoid interference with the clamping section 10.
[0030] Furthermore, a first tension roller 45 is installed on the frame 2. The first tension roller 45 is located below the line connecting the first roller body 42 and the first adjusting roller 44 and above the third roller body 52. The outer side of the first tension roller 45 abuts against the outer side of the first belt body 41 to improve the tension of the first belt body 41, improve its running stability, and ensure the clamping force.
[0031] Furthermore, a second adjusting roller 54 is installed on the frame 2. The second adjusting roller 54 is located above and in front of the third roller body 52. The inner surface of the second belt body 51 abuts against the outer surface of the third roller body 52, so that the second belt body 51 forms a transition area in front of the clamping section 10, and forms a wedge-shaped feeding space between it and the extension of the first belt body 41. The closer to the clamping section 10, the smaller the distance between the first belt body 41 and the second belt body 51, which can improve the stability and smoothness of the wood veneer feeding.
[0032] Specifically, the diameter of the fourth roller 53 is larger than that of the second roller 43 and the third roller 52. The rear end of the fourth roller 53 extends directly above or behind the second roller 43. It adopts a large-diameter rubber coating design to increase the contact area with the wood veneer and improve the clamping reliability.
[0033] Furthermore, a guide plate 8 is installed on the frame 2 to receive the veneer and guide the insert plate. The guide plate 8 is located below the fourth roller 53 and the second roller 43 and is inclined to the rear and lower side. Specifically, it can be an arc plate or a straight plate, and its upper end can be locked and hinged to the frame 2. The guide plate 8 can ensure that the veneer is smoothly transferred to the insert 9.
[0034] Furthermore, a transverse feeding device 6 for feeding material into the conveyor belt assembly is provided on the front or upper side of the lifting support device 3.
[0035] Specifically, the transverse feeding device 6 includes a first telescopic drive device 61, a mounting frame 62, and a feeding conveyor belt. The feeding conveyor belt is mounted on the mounting frame 62 and includes a feeding roller assembly and a friction belt 63. The first telescopic drive device 61 is hinged to the frame 2 and connected to the mounting frame 62. It can rotate and extend its end around the frame 2, thereby driving the mounting frame 62 to flip up and down, thereby abutting against the veneer. Through the rotating friction belt 63, it provides a backward friction force to the veneer, causing the veneer to move towards the extension of the first belt body 41.
[0036] Furthermore, a vertical feeding device 7 is installed on the frame 2. The vertical feeding device 7 includes a second telescopic drive device 71 and a rotating roller 72 for abutting the lower surface of the veneer. The rotating roller 72 is rotatably connected to the output end of the second telescopic drive device 71. When the veneer moves laterally to above the rotating roller 72 under the action of the friction belt 63, the rotating roller 72 will push the veneer upward under the drive of the second telescopic drive device 71, so that the veneer fully contacts the extension of the first belt body 41, ensuring that the veneer moves to the clamping section 10.
[0037] Specifically, the mobile base 1 includes a first track assembly and a second track assembly distributed on the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 9, which can enhance the adaptability to complex terrain.
[0038] Specifically, the lifting support device 3 adopts a scissor lift device and is equipped with a two-way hydraulic cylinder synchronous drive system to ensure that the lifting platform always remains horizontal and prevents the wood veneer stack from tilting.
[0039] Specifically, the driving connection of the first belt body 41, the second belt body 51 and the friction belt 63 are all existing mature technologies. They can be driven by configuring the active end and the driven end through chain drive or belt drive, or by gear drive. The methods are diverse and mature, and are not the focus of this utility model, so they will not be described in detail.
