Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood processing technology, and in particular to a feeding device for a wood gluing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wood processing, the glue application process is a key preliminary step for splicing and assembling boards. The efficiency of material loading and the quality of board surface pretreatment before glue application directly determine the uniformity of subsequent glue application and the structural strength of the final product.

[0003] Currently, the feeding method of wood board gluing machines has gradually evolved from traditional manual handling to automated feeding. Most automated feeding devices on the market use conveyor belts, robotic arms, and other structures to achieve continuous conveying of boards, effectively reducing labor intensity and improving feeding efficiency. For example, Chinese patent CN 211687268 U proposes a lifting wood board feeding device, which uses a lifting platform composed of a hydraulic lift and a placement frame, along with a pushing structure consisting of a pushing cylinder, a first pushing plate, and a second pushing plate, to achieve horizontal pushing of wood boards. Another example is a stacked wood board feeding device proposed by Chinese patent CN 221836224 U, which also uses a lifting component and a pushing component to push the wood boards one by one onto a conveyor.

[0004] However, the existing automatic feeding device has the following defects when working with the glue coating machine: (1) Impurities on the board surface affect the glue coating quality: During the processing and storage of wood boards, wood chips, dust and other impurities are easily attached to their surface. After the impurities enter the glue coating process with the board, they will cause the glue to not adhere tightly to the board surface, resulting in glue leakage points, bubbles and other problems, which will reduce the product qualification rate. (2) It is difficult to detect board surface defects in a timely manner: Wood boards may have surface defects such as cracks, dents and missing corners during the early processing. If boards with such defects are directly put into the glue coating process, it will not only waste glue and subsequent processing costs, but also affect the appearance and performance of the finished product.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feeding device that can simultaneously perform dust removal and surface defect detection on the board surface during the automatic feeding process, in order to fill the gaps in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a feeding device for a wood board gluing machine includes a lifting platform 7 for placing wood boards 8, a pushing mechanism 1 for pushing the wood boards 8 one by one to the feed inlet of the gluing machine 9, and a detection and dust removal device 11 disposed between the lifting platform 7 and the gluing machine 9. The lifting platform 7 is a scissor-type lifting platform, installed in an installation slot opened in the ground, which is a conventional existing setup.

[0032] The pushing mechanism 1 includes a straight track 2, a traveling device 3, a pushing beam 4, and a drive arm 5. The straight track 2 is fixed to the ground by support feet and is located on one side of the lifting platform 7, with its length direction parallel to the pushing direction of the wooden plank 8. The traveling device 3 is mounted on the straight track 2 and can move back and forth along the straight track 2. The pushing beam 4 is connected to the traveling device 3 and is horizontally arranged, with its length direction perpendicular to the length direction of the straight track 2. The drive arm 5 is mounted on the pushing beam 4, and its end away from the pushing beam 4 is provided with a push plate 6 for pushing the topmost wooden plank 8 on the lifting platform 7. In this embodiment, the drive arm 5 is L-shaped and two are spaced apart.

[0033] Specifically, the walking device 3 is a rack and pinion walking machine, which includes a movable seat, a drive motor, and gears. The movable seat is slidably mounted on the straight track 2, which is equipped with a rack. The drive motor is mounted on the movable seat and connected to the gears. The gears mesh with the rack, and the push beam 4 is connected to the movable seat. The walking device 3 of this utility model adopts a rack and pinion walking machine structure, which drives the movable seat to move through the meshing transmission of gears and racks. Compared with conventional conveyor belts or cylinder pushing methods, it has higher transmission accuracy and more stable operation, ensuring that the wooden board 8 is accurately positioned during the pushing process, avoiding blind spots in detection or incomplete dust removal due to pushing deviation, and further ensuring the stability of feeding and pretreatment.

[0034] The dust removal and detection device 11 includes a mounting frame 12, a detection component, and a dust removal component. The mounting frame 12 includes a side plate, a top plate, and a bottom plate. The side plate is fixedly installed on the ground and connected to the horizontally arranged top plate and bottom plate. The top plate is located directly above the bottom plate, and the two are spaced apart to form a conveying channel 13 through which the wooden board 8 passes.

[0035] The detection assembly includes an alarm 14 and two sets of industrial cameras 15. The two sets of industrial cameras 15 are respectively installed on the bottom surface of the top plate and the top surface of the bottom plate, and the alarm 14 is installed on the mounting bracket 12. The specific number of industrial cameras 15 in each set is determined according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, each set of industrial cameras 15 includes 3 industrial cameras 15.

[0036] The dust removal assembly includes an upper dust suction port 17, a lower dust suction port 18, and a dust removal main unit 19. The upper dust suction port 17 is installed on the bottom surface of the top plate, and the lower dust suction port 18 is installed on the top surface of the bottom plate. The dust removal main unit 19 is connected to the upper dust suction port 17 and the lower dust suction port 18 via connecting pipes. When the wooden board 8 passes through the conveyor channel 13, the upper dust suction port 17 and the lower dust suction port 18 respectively approach the upper and lower surfaces of the wooden board 8 to perform dust removal. Both the upper dust suction port 17 and the lower dust suction port 18 are elongated, flat, open structures.

[0037] The drive motors of the industrial camera 15, alarm 14, dust removal host 19, lifting platform 7, and pushing mechanism 1 are all connected to the controller 10. In this utility model, the detection component, dust removal component, pushing mechanism 1, and lifting platform 7 are all linked with the controller 10, realizing fully automated control of the entire process. There is no need for manual intervention in the conveying, detection, and dust removal operations of the board material. This not only reduces the intensity of manual labor but also avoids errors caused by manual operation, thereby improving the overall automation level and production stability.

[0038] In addition, several compensating light sources 16 are provided on the bottom surface of the top plate and the top surface of the bottom plate of the mounting bracket 12, and the compensating light sources 16 are connected to the controller 10. The industrial camera 15 and the compensating light sources 16 are closer to the lifting platform 7 than the upper dust suction port 17 and the lower dust suction port 18. The compensating light sources 16 provide stable and uniform light supplementation for the industrial camera 15 to acquire images of the wood board surface.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the wood boards to be processed are stacked on the lifting platform 7. The height of the lifting platform 7 is adjusted according to the remaining amount of the wood boards 8 to ensure that the top layer of wood boards 8 is in a suitable pushing position. Then, the pushing mechanism 1 connected to the controller 10 is activated. The drive motor of the rack and pinion walking machine drives the gear to move along the rack of the straight track 2, so that the moving seat drives the pushing beam 4 to move towards the lifting platform 7, thereby driving the drive arm 5 and the push plate 6 to push the top layer of wood boards 8 on the lifting platform 7. The pushed wood boards 8 enter the conveying channel 13 of the detection and dust removal device 11. At this time, the process... The camera 15 captures images of the upper and lower surfaces of the wooden board 8 and transmits them to the controller 10. The controller 10 analyzes the captured images. If surface defects are detected, the controller 10 controls the alarm 14 to perform an alarm action. In addition, the controller 10 keeps the dust removal host 19 in a normally open state and keeps it working continuously. It uses the upper dust removal port 17 and the lower dust removal port 18 to remove sawdust from the surface of the wooden board 8. Finally, the wooden board 8 that has passed the inspection and been dusted is continuously pushed to the feed port of the glue applicator 9 to complete a single feeding process. The lifting platform 7 adjusts its height synchronously to prepare for the next push.

[0040] In other embodiments, the working mode of the dust removal host 19 can also adopt the intelligent start mode. The industrial camera 15 identifies dust and impurities on the upper and lower surfaces of the wooden board 8. When dust and impurities are detected on the surface of the wooden board 8, the controller 10 starts the dust removal host 19 to avoid the waste of power caused by the continuous operation of the dust removal host 19.

[0041] This utility model, by setting up a dust removal device 11 between the lifting platform 7 and the glue applicator 9, can simultaneously complete the dust removal operation on the board surface during the feeding process of the wood board. The dust removal suction ports set symmetrically on the upper and lower sides can adsorb and remove impurities such as sawdust and dust from the upper and lower surfaces of the wood board 8, effectively avoiding the problem of poor glue adhesion, leakage and bubbles caused by impurities entering the glue application process with the board, and significantly improving the glue application quality and product qualification rate.

[0042] This invention utilizes two sets of industrial cameras 15 in the dust removal and detection device 11 to collect images of the upper and lower surfaces of the wooden board 8. The controller 10 is linked to the alarm 14 to promptly detect surface defects such as cracks, dents, and missing corners during the board feeding stage. This prevents defective boards from entering the subsequent gluing process, reduces waste of glue and processing costs, and ensures the appearance quality and structural performance of the finished product.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the installation method of the push beam 4 and the specific structural design of the drive arm 5.

[0045] In this embodiment, the push beam 4 is hinged to the movable seat via a first hinge 20, the axis of which is parallel to the straight track 2. A column 21 is vertically mounted on the movable seat, and an electrically controlled telescopic component 22 is positioned between the column 21 and the push beam 4. The upper end of the electrically controlled telescopic component 22 is hinged to the upper end of the column 21 via a second hinge 23, and the lower end is hinged to the push beam 4 via a third hinge 24. The axes of both the second hinge 23 and the third hinge 24 are parallel to the first hinge 20. The electrically controlled telescopic component 22 is a cylinder; in other embodiments, it is an electric push rod. The push beam 4 can be tilted up and down to adjust its angle under the drive of the electrically controlled telescopic component 22, adapting to the conveying posture of the plate to ensure accurate pushing direction.

[0046] In addition, the drive arm 5 includes a connecting sleeve 25, a fixed block 27, a movable block 28, and an adjusting screw 29. The connecting sleeve 25 is detachably fitted onto the push beam 4 and locked by bolts 26. The fixed block 27 is vertically arranged, with its top connected to the connecting sleeve 25. The movable block 28 is vertically arranged and spaced apart from the fixed block 27. A connecting rod 30 is provided between the fixed block 27 and the movable block 28. The two ends of the connecting rod 30 are respectively hinged to the fixed block 27 and the movable block 28 via rotating shafts. The rotating shafts are horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axis of the first hinge 20. The adjusting screw 29 passes through the movable block 28 and is threadedly connected to the movable block 28. One end of the adjusting screw 29 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 27, and the other end is provided with a knob. The push plate 6 is located on the lower part of the movable block 28 away from the fixed block 27, with the end of the push plate 6 away from the movable block 28 inclined upwards.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drive arm 5 adjusts its height by driving the movable block 28 to move up and down through the adjusting screw 29, so that the contact point of the push plate 6 matches the upper side of the plate of different thicknesses. At the same time, the gap is adjusted by sliding the connecting sleeve 25 along the push beam 4 to cover the effective pushing range of plates of different widths.

[0048] As can be seen, the push mechanism 1 of this utility model adopts an adjustable structure design. The push beam 4 can be driven to rotate and adjust the angle around the first hinge 20 through the electronically controlled telescopic component 22. Combined with the height and spacing adjustment function of the drive arm 5, it can adapt to the push needs of wood boards of different thicknesses and specifications, solve the problem of the single adaptability of the traditional push mechanism 1, and improve the versatility and applicability of the device.

[0049] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
