Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of woodworking machinery, and in particular to a switchable edge banding mechanism and an edge banding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Edge banding machines are key equipment in the board processing industry. One of their main processes is to firmly attach edge banding tape to the side of the board. Currently, board edge banding processes are mainly divided into glue-applied edge banding and laser edge banding. Glue-applied edge banding is accomplished by a glue-applied mechanism. Its basic working principle is: the board moves linearly under the drive of a conveyor mechanism, and its side is pressed against a continuously rotating glue-applied roller. The rotation of the glue-applied roller evenly applies glue to the edge banding surface of the board. At the same time, the edge banding tape is guided by the conveyor mechanism to the glued side of the board on the opposite side of the glue-applied roller, and then pressed by a pressing mechanism to complete the bonding of the edge banding tape to the board. Laser edge banding, on the other hand, uses edge banding tape with a special functional layer, and uses laser to activate and melt the functional layer, and then uses pressure rollers to achieve edge banding. In existing technology, board sealing machines usually only have one type of edge banding mechanism. This single-function configuration limits production flexibility. If the two edge banding mechanisms are set up as two separate workstations, two sets of pressure roller mechanisms are required, resulting in high manufacturing costs and a large space occupation.

[0022] Reference Figure 1According to a first aspect of the present invention, a switchable edge-sealing mechanism includes a base 100, a laser edge-sealing mechanism 200, a switching seat 300, and an adhesive applicator 400. The laser edge-sealing mechanism 200 is disposed on the base 100 and has a laser head 210 for downward irradiation of the edge-sealing mechanism. The switching seat 300 is slidably connected to the base 100 and can slide to a first position and a second position. The adhesive applicator 400 is disposed on the switching seat 300. When the switching seat 300 is in the first position, the laser head 210 is located above the adhesive applicator 400, and the adhesive applicator 400 can be used for adhesive applicator edge sealing. When the switching seat 300 is in the second position, the adhesive applicator 400 can slide to avoid the laser edge-sealing mechanism 200 so that the laser head 210 can irradiate the edge-sealing mechanism downwards. When the switching seat 300 is slid to the first position, the adhesive applicator 400 can be used for edge sealing, and the laser edge-sealing mechanism 200 can standby at the top. When the switching seat 300 slides to the second position, the glue application mechanism 400 can slide away from the laser edge banding mechanism 200, and the laser edge banding mechanism 200 can start to perform edge banding, thereby realizing the switching of edge banding type. Furthermore, during operation, both can share the board conveyor, edge banding tape feeder, and pressure roller, which can greatly save manufacturing costs and reduce the space occupied.

[0023] Specifically, a slide rail structure can be provided between the switching seat 300 and the base 100. The switching seat 300 can be manually driven to slide to the first position and the second position and locked. The aforementioned slide rail structure is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here. In the first position, the gluing mechanism 400 can be conveyed to the first position. At this time, one side of the gluing mechanism 400 is a conveying channel for conveying the board material, and the other side is a feeding mechanism for conveying the edge banding tape. The gluing mechanism 400 can apply glue to the side of the board material, and then the feeding mechanism conveys the edge banding tape to the glued side of the board material for bonding, and then it is pressed firmly by the pressure roller. At this time, the laser edge banding mechanism 200 is set near the first position, and the laser head 210 of the laser edge banding mechanism 200 is located above the gluing mechanism 400. When the gluing process is running, the laser edge banding mechanism 200 can be in a standby state. When laser edge banding is required, the switching seat 300 can be slid towards the second position. At this time, the glue application mechanism 400 can slide away from the first position, creating space for the laser edge banding mechanism 200. The feeding mechanism for the edge banding tape can then be switched to the edge banding tape required for the laser process. The laser edge banding mechanism 200 can then bandage the edges of the board under the action of the conveying channel, the feeding mechanism, and the pressure rollers. This eliminates the need for two separate edge banding mechanisms, saving manufacturing costs and equipment space. Switching is simple, requiring only the sliding of the switching seat 300.

[0024] Reference Figure 1In some embodiments of this utility model, one side of the gluing mechanism 400 is used to set a conveying channel for conveying the sheet material, and the sliding direction of the switching seat 300 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying channel. Specifically, the switching seat 300 can be set close to one side of the conveying channel to facilitate the cooperation between the gluing mechanism 400 and the sheet material, and the sliding direction of the switching seat 300 is parallel to the conveying direction to reduce the transverse space occupied by the switching seat 300 perpendicular to the conveying channel, thereby reducing the width dimension of the edge banding machine.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the base 100 is provided with a driving component 500, which is connected to the switching seat 300 in a transmission manner. The driving component 500 can drive the switching seat 300 to slide to a first position and a second position. Specifically, the driving component 500 can be used to drive the switching seat 300 to switch positions. The driving component 500 can be configured as a cylinder or an electric push rod. The output rod of the driving component 500 can be connected to the switching seat 300, so that the driving component 500 can drive the switching seat 300 to slide and lock in the first and second positions. This eliminates the need for manual operation, making operation more convenient.

The laser head 210 is disposed at the bottom of the first base 220, and the first base 220 is disposed on the lifting adjustment component 230.

Specifically, the lifting adjustment component 230 can be configured as a vertically arranged slide rail, the first base 220 is slidably connected to the slide rail, and a locking structure is provided between the first base 220 and the slide rail, thereby enabling the adjustment of the height of the laser head 210.

[0027] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the laser edge sealing mechanism 200 further includes a lateral adjustment component 240, and a lifting adjustment component 230 is disposed on the lateral adjustment component 240. The lateral adjustment component 240 can drive the lifting adjustment component 230 to move in a direction closer to or further away from the conveying channel. Specifically, the lateral adjustment component 240 may be provided with a laterally extending slide rail, the lifting adjustment component 230 may be slidably connected to the lateral slide rail, and a locking structure is provided between the lifting adjustment component 230 and the lateral slide rail, thereby adjusting the distance between the laser head 210 and the conveying channel to facilitate adjustment of the laser irradiation position.

[0028] Reference Figures 2 to 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the laser edge-sealing mechanism 200 further includes a rotation adjustment component 250. The first base 220 is rotatably connected to the lifting adjustment component 230 via the rotation adjustment component 250, and the rotation adjustment component allows the rotation angle of the first base 220 around the vertical axis to be adjustable. Specifically, the first base 220 can be rotatably connected to the lifting adjustment component 230, the direction of the rotation axis is vertical, and the first base 220 is provided with an arc-shaped groove arranged around the rotation axis. The lifting adjustment component 230 can be provided with a connecting hole opposite to the arc-shaped groove. The connecting hole and the arc-shaped groove can be fastened together by bolts to lock the current rotation position. With the above structure, the distance between the laser head 210 and the plate can be finely adjusted.

[0029] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of the first base 220 is further provided with a protective cover 221 for covering the laser head 210, and the bottom of the protective cover 221 is provided with a clearance through hole 2211 for the laser head 210 to irradiate. Specifically, the protective cover 221 can block the laser head 210, playing a protective role to prevent the operator from reaching in and causing an accident. The clearance through hole 2211 allows the laser head 210 to irradiate downwards.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the glue application mechanism 400 includes a support 410, a drive device 420, a glue supply assembly 430, and a vertically arranged glue application roller 440. The support 410 is disposed on the switching seat 300, the glue application roller 440 is rotatably connected to the support 410, the drive device 420 is disposed on the support 410 and is drivenly connected to the glue application roller 440. The drive device 420 can drive the glue application roller 440 to rotate, and the glue supply assembly 430 can provide glue to the glue application roller 440. In the first position of the switching seat 300, the laser head 210 is located above the glue application roller 440. Specifically, the support 410 is fixedly connected to the top of the switching seat 300. The drive device 420 may include a drive motor, a transmission chain, and a transmission shaft. The output shaft of the drive motor is vertically arranged, the transmission shaft is coaxially connected to the glue application roller 440, and the transmission chain is drivenly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and the transmission shaft to drive the glue application roller 440 to rotate. The adhesive roller is driven to rotate 440 degrees by a transmission chain, resulting in more accurate average transmission and improved adhesive uniformity. Because the support seat needs to be adjusted by sliding, the chain drive has a wide range of applicable shaft spacing, ensuring stable transmission between the drive motor and the transmission shaft even when the support seat is in a sliding state.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the base 100 is provided with at least two buffer limiting blocks 110. The buffer limiting blocks 110 are arranged along the sliding direction of the switching seat 300, and the switching seat 300 can slide to abut against the buffer limiting blocks 110. Specifically, the abutting part of the buffer limiting block 110 and the switching seat 300 can be made of elastic material. When the switching seat 300 is slidably adjusted, it can be limited and buffered by the buffer limiting blocks 110, so that the glue application mechanism 400 will not collide or vibrate, thus protecting the glue application mechanism 400.
