Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wood board processing technology, and particularly relates to a forced quenching device for densified wood.

Background Art

[0002] Densified wood is a reinforced treatment material that is hard, has a high density, and high strength, which is manufactured by hot pressing treatment of wood boards. After the wood boards are compressed and densified, both their tissue structure and physical and mechanical properties change significantly - the mechanical strength becomes stronger, the deformation of the wood boards becomes smaller, and they are excellent in wear resistance and durability, thereby effectively improving the performance of the wood boards and enhancing the utilization value of the wood boards.

[0003] In the conventional processing technology of densified wood, specific steps such as pretreatment, lamination treatment, heating and pressing treatment, hardening treatment, cooling treatment, and curing treatment are performed on the wood boards. Among them, for the cooling treatment, the water cooling and / or air cooling methods are often adopted.

[0004] Patent Document 1: In the patent disclosed in Patent Application No. CN202020196506.5, a water cooling device is arranged to perform primary cooling on the compressed wood, and then an air cooling device is arranged to perform secondary cooling on the wood. In this process, it is necessary to shorten the cooling time as much as possible, and through the process of rapid temperature reduction and rapid cooling, that is, the quenching process, the strength and hardness of the densified wood are effectively improved (increased), and at the same time, the internal stress is reduced and the brittleness is decreased, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the densified wood. However, the air cooling and water cooling processes of the prior art need to lengthen the laying lines of the water cooling equipment and the air cooling equipment, or improve the residence time of the wood in the unit volume to achieve temperature reduction. This type of water cooling and air cooling method has low heat exchange efficiency and too long cooling time, making it impossible for the densified wood to exhibit excellent mechanical properties.

[0005] The applicant mentions that the same type of patent realizes rapid quenching with a coolant (such as liquid nitrogen). However, in the prior art, no related equipment for quenching and cooling is laid on the densified wood production line. How to realize the rapid quenching of densified wood in the flow operation line is particularly important for the product itself. Also, in order to save the cost of equipment laying and occupied space, it is necessary to solve the technical problem of how to shorten the laying of the process line and improve the quenching efficiency of the densified wood board in the flow operation line as soon as possible.

[0006] In addition, the high-frequency treated densified wood is thick, generally 3 cm or more. In the actual quenching operation process, the quenching time is too short to reduce the central temperature in the densified wood to the preset temperature. To solve this technical problem, it is necessary to increase the quenching time in the quenching device of the densified wood. However, increasing the quenching time affects the reduction of the processing efficiency of the wood board.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] The following examples further illustrate the content of the present invention, but do not limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, any modification or substitution made to the method, steps or conditions of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention is a forced quenching device for impregnated wood to achieve cooling by spraying a cooling liquid onto a traveling wooden board block in a flow work line. The device is provided with a tunnel-type quenching passage, and the impregnated wood high-frequency compacted by a conveyor belt is put into the quenching passage at one time for spray quenching.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the forced quenching device for impregnated wood includes a quenching housing 1 provided with a tunnel-type quenching passage 2. A conveying device 3 that moves horizontally is provided below the quenching passage 2 in the quenching housing 1, and a spraying device and a blowing device are provided above the quenching passage 2. Receiving frames 19 are provided at both the front end and the rear end of the quenching housing 1. The front end and the rear end of the conveying device 3 extend above the receiving frames 19 at both ends respectively and are used to abut against the equipment in the previous stage and the next stage.

[0026] The spraying device includes a plurality of spraying modules uniformly spaced and installed at the top in the quenching passage. Each of the spraying modules includes several spraying pipes 40 arranged radially and a plurality of spraying nozzles 41 provided below the spraying pipes 40 and uniformly spaced. Each of the spraying pipes 41 is connected to a liquid storage tank 5 provided on the side of the quenching housing 1 via a transport pipe 42, a liquid extraction pump, and a pressure pump. The air blowing device includes one to three radially distributed air blowers 6 provided between adjacent spraying modules. The air blowing motor 60 of the air blower 6 protrudes from the top of the quenching housing 1. The quenching liquid is loaded in the liquid storage tank, for example, liquid nitrogen is adopted, and the temperature of the liquid nitrogen is -190°C to -200°C. The liquid nitrogen is sprayed from the spraying nozzles onto the consolidated wood board surface of the conveying belt. The liquid nitrogen vaporizes by exchanging heat with it. After the heat exchange on the wood board surface, the hot surface cannot temporarily absorb more heat from the liquid nitrogen, which slows down the vaporization rate of the liquid nitrogen. Therefore, in the present invention, by installing the air blowing device, the gas can be blown away to blow the dripping liquid onto the wood board surface, and the cooling efficiency of the liquid nitrogen can be improved.

[0027] To more reasonably arrange the combined use of the spraying device and the air blowing device, in the specific example shown in FIG. 5, each of the spraying modules includes two spraying pipes 40 installed radially. Six to twelve of the spraying nozzles 41 are provided below each of the spraying pipes 40. The distance from the spraying nozzle 1 to the conveying surface of the conveying device is 25 to 40 cm.

[0028] In an improved example of a conveying device, as shown in FIG. 6, the conveying device includes a conveying mesh belt 30 provided below the quenching passage 2, a roller module for moving the conveying mesh belt 30, and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism employs a motor and is combined with a speed reducer 35 to stably drive the movement of the conveying mesh belt. The speed reducer 35 is provided outside the quenching housing corresponding to the mounting position of the motor. Circulation chutes in the same vertical plane are provided on both sides of the quenching passage 2. Sliders fitting into the circulation chutes are provided on both sides of the conveying mesh belt 30. As shown in FIG. 7, the conveying mesh belt 30 is a net body 32 formed by warp knitting and / or weft knitting a plurality of axially supporting rods 31 and the supporting rods 31. This type of knitted net body 32 forms a three-dimensional regular solid net structure after being knitted using metal bars. Gaseous and liquid nitrogen can enter from above into the interior and below of the conveying net body, enabling the bottom surface of the wooden board to achieve sufficient contact with the quenching liquid and further improving the quenching and cooling efficiency. The supporting rods 31 and the net body 32 of the conveying mesh belt 30 are made of a low-temperature metal material, which is a material applicable for use at the temperature of the quenching liquid. For example, when the quenching liquid is liquid nitrogen, it can be made of austenitic stainless steel or nickel steel material with a high nickel content. In the design of the roller module, it is only necessary to realize the circular circulation movement of the conveying mesh belt. Specifically, the roller module includes two rollers 33 provided at both ends of the quenching passage 2. The front end and the rear end of the conveying mesh belt 30 form a ring body by rotating around the rollers 33, and the driving mechanism provides rotational power to at least one of the rollers 33.

[0029] In one improved technical solution, as shown in FIG. 8, sealing plates 11 are provided at the tops of the front end face and the rear end face of the quenching through housing. An entrance / exit 16 is formed between the sealing plate 11 and the conveying surface of the conveying device. A baffle plate 12 with adjustable height is provided on the sealing plate 11, and a windproof sheet 13 extending towards the conveying surface of the conveying device is provided inside the baffle plate 12. In order to prevent excessive overflow of cold air in the quenching tunnel, the sealing plate is formed with a narrow entrance / exit from top to bottom. By installing the baffle plate and the windproof sheet, the height of the entrance / exit is adjusted to correspond to the height of the wooden board, ensuring that the wooden board can smoothly enter and exit while preventing the cold air on the wall surface from overflowing.

[0030] Among them, the windproof plate 13 is composed of a plurality of thin sheets arranged in parallel. The thin sheets can similarly be made of a low-temperature metal sheet material. By installing it on a plurality of arranged sheets, it can avoid blocking the entry and exit of the compacted wooden board, and even a high wooden board can pass through smoothly. The sealing plate 11 has a structure that inclines inwards from top to bottom and is installed inclined in synchronization with the baffle plate 12 attached to it.

[0031] The baffle plate can be installed as a baffle structure with adjustable height. In one technical solution of manual adjustment, a plurality of vertically adjustable through holes 14 are provided on the baffle plate 12, and the baffle plate 12 is fixed by a lock screw 15 inserted into the sealing plate from the outside of the vertically adjustable through hole 14. In another technical solution of automatic adjustment, the baffle plate is connected to the sealing plate by an automatic telescopic mechanism.

[0032] A position sensor and a distance sensor are provided at the bottom position of the sealing plate 11. The position sensor can detect whether the compacted wooden board is at a predetermined position. The distance sensor can calculate the thickness of the wooden board based on the distance from the detected wooden board to it, and automatically adjust the height of the baffle plate based on the thickness of the wooden board.

[0033] In one example, observation doors 7 are provided along the axial direction on the housing wall surfaces on both sides of the quenching housing 1. A rubber sealing ring is provided on the inner frame of the observation door 7, which facilitates an operator to observe the wooden board during quenching and cooling and perform maintenance on the equipment. Equipment such as an electric control box 70 and an operation box 71 are provided outside the housing of the quenching housing 1.

[0034] The length of the above-mentioned quenching housing (i.e., the quenching tunnel) is set according to the actual usage situation. For example, for a quenching housing with a length of 10 - 15 m, after high-frequency densification, the densified wood at 90 - 100 °C gradually passes through the quenching tunnel and is quenched and cooled. The rapid freezing time of the wood is 7 - 8 minutes, but the central part of the wood is not frozen. It is necessary to put it back into the quenching tunnel for secondary rapid freezing or increase the residence time of the wooden board in the quenching tunnel by adjusting the moving speed of the conveying device. The former method requires manual re-entry into rapid freezing, increasing the manual operation cost and affecting the processing speed of the production line. The latter also affects the quenching and freezing speed of the production line. A more reasonable method is to extend the length of the quenching tunnel to achieve complete rapid freezing of the wooden board. However, due to limitations in the production site and the fact that extending the equipment will undoubtedly increase the site cost, the present invention adds a vertical movement in the tunnel and solves this technical problem with a sufficient liquid nitrogen spraying method.

[0035] In a specific example, the conveying mesh belt 30 is divided into several conveying units, and a vertical cooling part is provided between adjacent conveying units. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 10, the vertical cooling part includes a group of support rollers distributed in the longitudinal direction installed at the front end and the rear end of the tunnel running, a link-shaped conveying rail 81 installed around the side of the support rollers, a plurality of supporting mechanisms 82 provided between the link-shaped conveying rails 81 on both sides, and a driving mechanism for driving the rotation of the group of support rollers. When the supporting mechanism 82 rotates to the conveying unit at the front end or the rear end, a supporting plate 83 installed on the supporting mechanism 82 abuts against the corresponding end of the conveying mesh belt 30, and a pushing mechanism 84 for pushing the consolidation wood on the supporting plate 83 during abutment is provided on the side of the supporting mechanism 82 corresponding to the front end of the tunnel running. A first lateral spray pipe 85 is provided in the middle between the two link-shaped conveying rails 81, and at least a plurality of spray nozzles 86 facing the top side are provided on the first lateral spray pipe 85. In an improved example, the spray nozzles 86 of the plurality of first lateral spray pipes 85 are installed facing the front side, the rear side, and the top side, a second lateral spray pipe 87 is provided in the middle above the link-shaped conveying rail, and a plurality of spray nozzles 86 are installed at the bottom of the second lateral spray pipe 87. In this technical solution, the quenching and cooling time of the consolidation wood is increased by the longitudinal transportation of the conveying mesh belt, and the quenching is performed more effectively by the convection spraying operation of the first lateral spray pipe 85 and the second lateral spray pipe 87, and the quenching time is shortened when it is ensured that the consolidation wood is completely frozen and reaches the standard. Also, when installing the first lateral spray pipe and the second lateral spray pipe, in order to avoid blocking the supporting mechanism of the lateral pipe, the liquid supply pipe of the lateral pipe is connected from the outside of the group of support rollers.

[0036] According to the above technical solution, in a more specific embodiment, the support roller group is respectively provided on a plurality of roller bodies on both sides. Each side specifically includes a front upper roller 801 and a front lower roller 802 provided at the front end of travel, a rear upper roller 803 and a rear lower roller 804 provided at the rear end of travel, an upper middle roller 805 provided in the middle upper part above the front upper roller 801 and the rear upper roller 803, and a lower middle roller 806 provided in the middle lower part below the front lower roller 802 and the rear lower roller 804. Each of the roller bodies on each side is an independent roller body and is fixed to both sides of the quenching passage via a connection bracket. Among them, between the lower middle rollers 806 on both sides, they are connected by the same roller shaft 807, and at least one of the lower middle rollers 806 is connected to the drive mechanism. Connecting rods 810 are evenly distributed on the inner sides of the link-shaped transport rails 81 on both sides. The connecting rods 810 extend inward, and the extending ends protrude from the inner sides of the corresponding roller bodies. A rotating ring 811 is rotatably fitted to the inner ends of the connecting rods 810. Between the rotating rings 811 on both sides, they are connected by the support plate 83. The support plate 83 may be any of a lattice plate, a grid plate, or a frame structure. After the support plate 83 receives the densified wood from the transport mesh, it slowly moves around the link-shaped transport rail. During the movement, the first and second lateral spray pipes perform omnidirectional spray freezing on the densified wood. When it rotates to the transport mesh at the front end, a push mechanism 84 installed inside the support plate 83 corresponding to this position pushes the densified wood onto the transport mesh at the front end. The push mechanism 84 adopts a conventional axial movement device, such as a telescopic cylinder structure, to realize the push on the densified wood.

[0037] In the first aspect of the present invention, a tunnel-type quenching passage is adopted to perform quenching and freezing on hot-pressed consolidated wood, improving the heat exchange efficiency to shorten the freezing time, and moreover, improving the strength and hardness of the consolidated wood by the quenching process, reducing the internal stress and lowering the brittleness, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the consolidated wood. In the second aspect, it is improved by using a three-dimensional conveying mesh to sufficiently contact each surface of the consolidated wood board with the quenching liquid, improving the heat exchange efficiency and shortening the freezing time. In the third aspect, vertical movement is added in the tunnel and the technical problem of incomplete freezing is solved by a sufficient liquid nitrogen spraying method.

[0038] Hereinafter, the equipment effect of the present invention will be further tested and described by the quenching and freezing test of the consolidated wood board block.

[0039] 1. Six standard-sized poplar slats (also called cork slats) that have been high-frequency consolidated under the same process conditions with a length of 100 cm ± 1 cm and a width of 22 cm ± 0.2 cm are selected and evenly divided into 2 groups, with the number of samples in each group being 3. The states of the three wooden boards in each group are as follows: the thickness of the first block is 3 cm, the normal temperature is 35 °C, the thickness of the second block is 2 cm, the hot-pressed temperature is 90 - 100 °C, the thickness of the third block is 2.6 cm, and the hot-pressed temperature is 90 - 100 °C.

[0040] 2. The quenching process is as follows.

[0041] 2.1 The quenching device of the present invention with a quenching passage (without a vertical cooling section) for performing the quenching process having a length of 12 m has a machine temperature set at -130 °C, and the three wooden boards of the first group are put into the quenching passage for testing. The experimental results are as follows. For the first block, the time for rapid freezing to about -3 to -5 °C is about 10 minutes, and there is significant frosting at the center of the quenching. In the second block, it is taken out after rapid freezing for 8 minutes. The central part is not frozen, and it is put back into the passage and rapidly frozen for 6 minutes again. The central temperature is about -3°C, and the center is ice-cooled with frosting. In the third block, it is taken out after rapid freezing for 8 minutes. The central part is not frozen, and it is put back into the passage and rapidly frozen for 7 minutes again. The central temperature is about -3°C, and the center is ice-cooled with frosting.

[0042] 2.2 Install a vertical cooling part in the middle of the quenching passage in Step 2.1. The vertical height of the rail of the vertical cooling part is 2 m, and at the same time, install a convection spray device. Otherwise, all other process conditions are the same as those in Step 2.1. Set the machine temperature to -130°C, and put the second set of three wooden boards into the quenching passage for testing. The experimental results are as follows. For the first block, the time for rapid freezing to about -3 to -5°C is about 8 minutes, and there is significant frosting in the center after quenching. In the second block, it is taken out after rapid freezing for 10 minutes. The central temperature is about -3°C, and the center is ice-cooled with frosting. In the third block, it is taken out after rapid freezing for 11 minutes. The central temperature is about -3°C, and the center is ice-cooled with frosting.

[0043] As can be seen from the test results, the rapid freezing time of the second set of samples is significantly less than that of the first set of samples. This is considered to be for adding vertical movement and improving the freezing efficiency with a sufficient liquid nitrogen spraying method.

[0044] The embodiments described above do not limit the protection scope of the technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the above embodiments are all included within the protection scope of the technical solution.
