Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Holzzerspanungsmaschine zur Herstellung von Flachspänen, insbesondere von Strands und Wafers, mit einem liegend angeordneten, angetriebenen Schneidrotor mit Spanmessern, wobei die in einer Zerspanung von außen nach innen erzeugten Späne kontinuierlich aus der Holzzerspanungsmaschine abgeführt werden.The invention relates to a wood-cutting machine for the production of flat chips, in particular strands and wafers, with a horizontally arranged, driven cutting rotor with chip knives, the chips produced from outside to inside being continuously removed from the wood-cutting machine.

Eine derartige Ausführungsform läßt sich der deutschen Patentschrift 35 02 201 entnehmen. Vorgesehen ist hier ein gegenüber dem Schneidrotor gegenläufig umlaufender Schlagrotor mit wählbarer Drehzahl. Die vorbekannte Vorrichtung ermöglicht eine exakte Vorwahl der jeweils gewünschten Spanlänge, so daß sich Späne definierter Dicke, Breite und Länge herstellen lassen. Dabei ist die Spanbreite in Faserlängsrichtung, die Spanlänge aber quer zur Faserrichtung des Holzes definiert. Die Lösung dieser vorbekannten Vorrichtung beruhte auf der Erkenntnis, daß die jeweils gewünschte Spanlänge quer zur Faserrichtung des Holzes durch die Zahl der Schlagleisten und die gewählte Drehzahl des Schlagrotors bestimmt wird. Durch bloße Veränderung der Schlagrotorgeschwindigkeit ließe sich die Spanlänge nicht verändern.Such an embodiment can be found in German patent specification 35 02 201. A beating rotor with a selectable speed rotating in the opposite direction to the cutting rotor is provided here. The known device enables exact preselection of the desired chip length, so that chips of a defined thickness, width and length can be produced. The chip width is defined in the longitudinal direction of the fibers, but the chip length is defined across the grain of the wood. The solution to this known device was based on the knowledge that the desired chip length transverse to the grain of the wood is determined by the number of blow bars and the selected speed of the blow rotor. The cutting length could not be changed simply by changing the speed of the percussion rotor.

Die Herstellung von großflächigen Spänen, den sogenannten Strands, also von Spänen großer Breite aber relativ geringer Spanlänge, soll möglichst schonend erfolgen; die Späne sollen also längs oder quer zur Faser so wenig wie möglich gebrochen werden. Zur Erzeugung von Platten aus gerichteten Spänen ("Strandboard") werden Späne benötigt, deren Abmessungen nicht nur in Breite und Dicke sondern auch in der Spanlänge vorwählbar definiert sind.The production of large-area chips, the so-called strands, i.e. chips of large width but relatively short chip length, should be carried out as gently as possible; The chips should therefore be broken as little as possible along or across the fiber. To produce boards from aligned chips ("beach board") chips are required, the dimensions of which are defined not only in width and thickness but also in the chip length.

Es ist bekannt, die Späne aus dem Zerspanungsraum durch Ausblasung oder Absaugung auszutragen. Der hierfür erforderliche Energieaufwand ist jedoch sehr hoch. Eingehende Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß dies u.a. auch dadurch bedingt ist, daß die abgeschälten Späne im Zerspanungsraum in einer Schleppströmung rotieren.It is known to discharge the chips from the machining area by blowing or suction. However, the energy required for this is very high. In-depth studies have shown that this includes this is also due to the fact that the peeled chips rotate in a drag flow in the machining area.

Die DE-OS 20 65 778 offenbart eine Zerspanungsvorrichtung für Rundholzabschnitte. Vorgesehen ist eine hohle Zerspanungstrommel, die gegenüber der Horizontalen unter etwa 45° geneigt ist und in ihrem Trommelmantel spiralförmig angeordnete und dadurch in Schnittrichtung gegeneinander versetzte Zerspanungsorgane aufweist, die sich jeweils nur über einen kleinen Bereich der Trommelbreite erstrecken. Jedem Zerspanungsorgan ist eine Spandurchtrittsöffnung im Trommelmantel zugeordnet, so daß die von dem Rundholzabschnitt abgeschnittenen Späne in das Innere der Zerspanungstrommel gelangen. Zum Austrag der Späne aus dem Innenraum der Zerspanungstrommel ist in dieser eine Auswerferplatte angeordnet, die schräg zur Trommelwelle geneigt und im wesentlichen plan ausgebildet ist, im seitlichen unteren Quadranten des Trommelinnenraumes liegt und sich nur über einen Teil der radialen Höhe sowie nur über eine Teilbreite des Trommelinnenraumes erstreckt. Die Auswerferplatte ist stationär angeordnet und soll die Späne am Ende der Zerspanungstrommel während ihrer Drehung auswerfen. Dabei sollen die in das Trommelinnere gelangenden Späne auf die Auswerferplatte gelangen, auf ihr hinabgleiten und am Ende der Zerspanungstrommel aus ihr herausfallen.DE-OS 20 65 778 discloses a cutting device for log sections. A hollow cutting drum is provided which is inclined at approximately 45 ° with respect to the horizontal and has cutting elements arranged spirally in its drum shell and thereby offset in the cutting direction, each of which extends only over a small area of the drum width. Each cutting element is assigned a chip passage opening in the drum shell, so that the chips cut from the log section reach the inside of the cutting drum. To discharge the chips from the interior of the cutting drum, an ejector plate is arranged in it, which is inclined at an angle to the drum shaft and is essentially flat, lies in the lower lateral quadrant of the drum interior and is only over part of the radial height and only over part of the width Drum interior extends. The ejector plate is stationary and should eject the chips at the end of the chipping drum as it rotates. The chips that enter the inside of the drum should reach the ejector plate, slide down on it and fall out of it at the end of the cutting drum.

Die DE-OS 23 00 843 offenbart ebenfalls eine Zerspanungsvorrichtung für Rundholzabschnitte. Vorgesehen ist eine liegend angeordnete Zerspanungstrommel, durch die sich ein endloser Förderer erstreckt, um die Späne axial der Zerspanungstrommel auszutragen. Um innerhalb der Zerspanungstrommel die Späne soweit wie möglich auf den Längsförderer zu leiten, ist ein schräg gestelltes Leitblech vorgesehen, daß sich entlang des Förderbandes erstreckt und die Späne auf dem Förderband an der Stelle sammelt, an der sie geschnitten sind. Auf der anderen Seite des Längsförderers, also dem genannten Leitblech genenüberliegend kann noch ein Schutzblech vorgesehen sein um zu verhindern, daß die Späne über die gegenüberliegende Kante des Längsförderers geschoben oder gedrückt werden.DE-OS 23 00 843 also discloses a cutting device for log sections. A chipping drum is provided in a lying position, through which an endless conveyor extends in order to discharge the chips axially of the chipping drum. In order to guide the chips inside the cutting drum as far as possible onto the longitudinal conveyor, an inclined guide plate is provided which extends along the conveyor belt and collects the chips on the conveyor belt at the point at which they are cut. A protective plate can also be provided on the other side of the longitudinal conveyor, that is to say the gene guide located above the guide plate, in order to prevent the chips from being pushed or pressed over the opposite edge of the longitudinal conveyor.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs erläuterte Holzzerspanungsmaschine insbesondere hinsichtlich des Nutzgutanteiles der Späne zu verbessern, wobei vor allem Strands und Wafers weitgehend bruchfrei und energiesparend ausgetragen werden sollen.The invention is based on the object of improving the wood-cutting machine explained at the outset, in particular with regard to the proportion of useful material in the chips, in particular in which strands and wafers are to be carried out largely without breakage and in an energy-saving manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß zur angenähert axialen Austragung der Späne in den Zerspanungsinnenraum ein stationäres Leitblech ragt, das schaufelförmig gekrümmt ist, im unteren Bereich des Rotors liegt und sich angenähert über die volle radiale Höhe des Zerspanungsinnenraumes erstreckt.This object is achieved according to the invention in that, for the approximately axial discharge of the chips into the machining interior, a stationary guide plate protrudes, which is curved in the shape of a blade, lies in the lower region of the rotor and extends approximately over the full radial height of the machining interior.

Langholz und Rotor liegen somit in etwa der gleichen Horizontalebene; der eigentliche Zerspanungsbereich befindet sich seitlich, so daß die Anordnung des Leitblechs im unteren Bereich des Rotors zweckmäßig ist. Die von den Spanmessern abgeschälten und von den Schlagleisten aufgeteilten Späne legen dann innerhalb des Zerspanungsraumes einen Kreisbogenweg von etwa 270° zurück und haben am Ende dieses Weges den größten Teil der ihnen verliehenen kinetischen Energie verloren, so daß sich die Späne dann relativ energiesparend und auch schonend auffangen und umlenken lassen.Long timber and rotor are therefore in approximately the same horizontal plane; the actual machining area is on the side, so that the arrangement of the guide plate in the lower area of the rotor is expedient. The chips peeled off by the chip knives and divided by the blow bars then cover an arc path of approximately 270 ° within the machining space and have lost most of the kinetic energy imparted to them at the end of this path, so that the chips are then relatively energy-saving and also gentle catch and redirect.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in Umdrehungsrichtung des Schneidrotors gesehen dem Leitblech ein Nebenleitblech vorgeschaltet ist. Der überwiegende Teil der erzeugten Späne wird in Richtung auf das Leitblech gefördert, dort abgelagert und ausgetragen. Ein geringer Teil der erzeugten Späne gelangt jedoch direkt vor das Nebenleitblech.In a further development of the invention, it is advantageous if an auxiliary guide plate is connected upstream of the guide plate when viewed in the direction of rotation of the cutting rotor. The majority of the chips produced are conveyed towards the guide plate, where they are deposited and discharged. However, a small part of the chips generated comes directly in front of the secondary baffle.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Leitblech und/oder das Nebenleitblech mit den Späneaustrag unterstützenden, vorzugsweise verstellbaren Druckluftdüsen bestückt ist.It is advantageous if the guide plate and / or the secondary guide plate are equipped with preferably adjustable compressed air nozzles that support the chip discharge.

Soll die Vorrichtung zur Langholzzerspanung eingesetzt werden, wird in an sich bekannter Weise ein quer gegen das Holz verfahrbarer Maschinenschlitten verwendet, auf dem dann erfindungsgemäß das Leitblech und ggf. das Nebenleitblech befestigt sein können. Der Schneidrotor wird dann in einer horizontalen Ebene seitlich gegen den vorderen Abschnitt des nach jedem Zerspanungshubes gegen eine Prallwand vorgeförderten Langholzes gefahren, so daß der Zerspanungsschnitt parallel zur Holzfaser, der Zerspanungsvektor jedoch senkrecht hierzu verlaufen. Die Spanerzeugung erfolgt dann so, daß möglichst wenig Späne von zu geringer Länge und/oder Breite entstehen, abgesehen von dem unvermeidbar zu kurzen Spänen des Anschnitts eines Holzstammes und/oder des Austritts des Spanermessers aus dem Holz.If the device is to be used for cutting long logs, a machine slide which can be moved transversely against the wood is used in a manner known per se, on which the guide plate and, if appropriate, the secondary guide plate can then be fastened according to the invention. The cutting rotor is then moved laterally in a horizontal plane against the front section of the long wood advanced against a baffle after each cutting stroke, so that the cutting cut is parallel to the wood fiber, but the cutting vector is perpendicular to it. The chip is generated then in such a way that as few chips as possible of too short length and / or width are created, apart from the inevitably too short chips of the cut of a log and / or the exit of the chip knife from the wood.

Großflächige Späne (Wafers) unterschiedlicher Spanlänge können ohne Schlagrotor hergestellt werden. Jedoch ist es zur Herstellung von Strands oder Wafers mit vorbestimmten Abmessungen in allen drei Dimensionen vorteilhaft, wenn konzentrisch im Schneidrotor ein Schlagrotor mit Schlagleisten angeordnet ist, deren Schneidkanten parallel zu denen der Spanmesser sowie im wesentlichen parallel zur Faserlängsrichtung des zu zerspanenden Holzes verlaufen, wobei das Leitblech in Umlaufrichtung des Schlagrotors gekrümmt ist. Der Schlagrotor verstärkt die in der Vorrichtung erzeugte Schleppströmung in Drehrichtung des Schlagrotors. Zur Kanalisierung dieser Schleppströmung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Schlagrotor gegenüber dem Zerspanungsinnenraum durch ein stationäres Abschirmblech abgedeckt ist, das sich außerhalb des eigentlichen Zerspanungsbereiches bis zum Leitblech erstreckt. Durch das Abschirmblech wird die Schleppströmung außerdem vergleichmäßigt.Large-scale chips (wafers) of different chip lengths can be produced without an impact rotor. However, for the production of strands or wafers with predetermined dimensions in all three dimensions, it is advantageous if a beating rotor with beating bars is arranged concentrically in the cutting rotor, the cutting edges of which run parallel to those of the chip knife and essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the fibers of the wood to be cut, whereby Baffle is curved in the direction of rotation of the impact rotor. The impact rotor amplifies the drag flow generated in the device in the direction of rotation of the impact rotor. For channeling this drag flow, it is advantageous if the impact rotor is covered with respect to the machining interior by a stationary shielding plate which extends outside the actual machining area to the guide plate. The drag flow is also evened out by the shielding plate.

Einige der Schlagleisten können mit Luftdurchtrittsschlitzen versehen sein, die ebenfalls die Schleppströmung vergleichmäßigen und ggf. auch verringern. Bei einem gegenüber dem Schneidrotor gegenläufig antreibbaren Schlagrotor kann es zudem vorteilhaft sein, wenn etwa jede achte bis zehnte Schlagleiste auch als Ventilatorflügel ausgebildet ist, um dadurch die Schleppströmung gezielt zu beeinflussen und einen den Späneaustrag verbessernden Luftstrom zu erzeugen. Diese Ventilatorflügel können einen die Austragung verbessernden Neigungswinkel aufweisen und bis zur Achse durchgezogen sein.Some of the blow bars can be provided with air passage slots, which also make the drag flow more uniform and possibly reduce it. In the case of a beating rotor which can be driven in the opposite direction to the cutting rotor, it can also be advantageous if approximately every eighth to tenth beating bar is also designed as a fan blade in order to thereby influence the drag flow in a targeted manner and to produce an air flow which improves the discharge of chips. These fan blades can have an inclination angle which improves the discharge and can be pulled through to the axis.

Erfindungsgemäß wird der Spanwinkel möglichst groß gewählt und soll über 50° liegen. Durch extreme Schräglage des Spanmessers im Schneidrotor wird das Spanband mit verhältnismäßig geringem Energieaufwand abgeschält und schonend, also mit verminderter Bruchgefährdung umgelenkt. Hierbei wird das abgleitende Spanband durch die sich aus der Rotationsgeschwindigkeit des Schneidrotors ergebende Fliehkraft zunächst gegen die Brustfläche des Spanmessers gedrückt, bevor der gegen diese Brustfläche anliegende Messerträger das Spanband erneut umlenkt, das dann von einer Schlagleiste faserparallel abgetrennt wird.According to the rake angle is chosen as large as possible and should be over 50 °. Due to the extreme inclination of the chip knife in the cutting rotor, the chip band is peeled off with relatively little energy and deflected gently, i.e. with reduced risk of breakage. Here, the sliding chip band is first pressed against the chest surface of the chip knife by the centrifugal force resulting from the rotational speed of the cutting rotor before the knife carrier lying against this chest surface redirects the chip band, which is then cut off in parallel with a blow bar.

Der Keilwinkel des Spanmessers soll erfindungsgemäß möglichst bei 27° - 30° liegen. Dies ergibt sich aus der erfindungsgemäßen extremen Schräglage des Spanmessers und soll ein Reiben der Freiflächen der Spanmesser auf dem Holz verhindern.According to the invention, the wedge angle of the chip knife should preferably be between 27 ° and 30 °. This results from the extreme inclined position of the chip knife according to the invention and is intended to prevent rubbing of the open surfaces of the chip knife on the wood.

Der Spanablaufwinkel wird so groß wie möglich gewählt, in dem der Keilwinkel des vorstehend erwähnten, spitzwinklig ausgebildeten Messerträgers so klein wie möglich gewählt wird. Erfindungsgemäß kann der Keilwinkel eines gegen die Messer-Brustfläche anliegenden Messerträgers maximal 30° betragen, so daß sich für den Spanablaufwinkel ein Betrag von ≧ 150° ergibt. Je größer der Spanablaufwinkel gewählt wird, desto sanfter erfolgt die Umlenkung des Spans.The chip run-off angle is chosen as large as possible by choosing the wedge angle of the above-mentioned, acute-angled knife carrier as small as possible. According to the invention, the wedge angle of a knife carrier resting against the knife chest surface can be a maximum of 30 °, so that there is an amount of ≧ 150 ° for the chip discharge angle. The larger the chip discharge angle is selected, the more gently the chip is deflected.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es nicht unbedingt erforderlich, das Spanmesser an einem gegen seine Brustfläche anliegenden Messerträger zu befestigen. Es ist vielmehr auch möglich, das Spanmesser auf dem Messerrücken zu befestigen. Man erhält dann einen Spanablaufwinkel von 180°, wobei die Spanleitfläche bis zur Innenkante des Schneidrotors durchgeführt werden kann. Die komplette Brustfläche des Spanmessers würde dann die Spanleitfläche bilden. Dadurch erhielte man eine optimale Spanführung.According to the invention, it is not absolutely necessary to attach the chip knife to a knife carrier resting against its chest surface. Rather, it is also possible to attach the chip knife to the back of the knife. A chip discharge angle of 180 ° is then obtained, the chip guide surface being able to be carried out up to the inner edge of the cutting rotor. The complete chest surface of the chip knife would then form the chip guide surface. This would result in optimal chip guidance.

Wird ein gegen die Brustfläche des Spanmessers anliegender Messerträger verwendet, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Abstand zwischen der Schneidkante des Spanmessers und der radial außenliegenden Oberkante eines an der Brustfläche des Spanmessers anliegenden Messerträgers etwa 12 - 15 mm beträgt. Dies dient ebenfalls einer sanfteren Spanumlenkung.If a knife carrier lying against the chest surface of the chip knife is used, it is advantageous if the distance between the cutting edge of the chip knife and the radially outer upper edge of a knife carrier lying on the chest surface of the chip knife is approximately 12-15 mm. This also serves for a gentler chip deflection.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Radialspalt zwischen den Oberkanten der Schlagleisten des Schlagrotors und den Unterkanten der Spanleitflächen des Schneidrotors so schmal wie möglich ausgebildet ist. Um diesen Radialspalt konstant zu halten, ist die Versteifung mit einem vorstehend bereits erwähnten Konustellerblech vorteilhaft. Aus dem gleichen Grunde ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Schlagrotor auf der Nabe des Schneidrotors gelagert ist. Auch bei hoher Biegebeanspruchung bleibt dann der Abstand zwischen den Oberkanten der Schlagleisten und den Unterkanten des inneren Schneidrotorringes konstant.According to the invention, it is advantageous if the radial gap between the upper edges of the blow bars of the impact rotor and the lower edges of the chip guiding surfaces of the cutting rotor is made as narrow as possible. In order to keep this radial gap constant, the stiffening with a cone plate already mentioned above is advantageous. For the same reason, it is advantageous if the impact rotor is mounted on the hub of the cutting rotor. Even with high bending loads, the distance between the upper edges of the blow bars and the lower edges of the inner cutting rotor ring remains constant.

Sobald die Spanbänder aus dem Bereich ihrer jeweiligen Spanleitflächen heraustreten und z.B. 12 mm frei vorstehen, werden sie von den gegenläufig rotierenden Schlagleisten erfaßt und scharfkantig längs zur Faser abgetrennt. Diese faserparallele Trennung erfordert nur einen niedrigen Energieaufwand; der Verschleißt der Schlagleistenkanten, die gewendet oder ausgetauscht werden können, ist sehr gering.As soon as the chipbands emerge from the area of their respective chip guide surfaces and e.g. They protrude 12 mm freely, they are gripped by the counter-rotating blow bars and separated with sharp edges lengthways to the fiber. This fiber-parallel separation requires only a low expenditure of energy; the wear of the blow bar edges, which can be turned or exchanged, is very low.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Schlagleisten des Schlagrotors mit den Brustflächen der Spanmesser einen spitzen Winkel bilden. Durch die extreme Schräglage der gegenläufig rotierenden Schlagleisten wird der Energieaufwand für die Abtrennung der Späne längs der Faser reduziert. Zugleich wird die Stärke der Schleppströmung verringert, die von den Schlagleisten erzeugt wird. Beschleunigt wird außerdem das Abrutschen der abgetrennten Späne von den Schlagleisten, die den abgetrennten Spänen dennoch eine hohe kinetische Energie vermitteln, die die Späne auf eine Flugbahn zwingt, auf der sie von der Schleppströmung getragen einerseits aus dem Gefahrenbereich heraus transportiert werden, andererseits aber ihre hohe Anfangsbeschleunigung rasch verliegen, so daß sie leichter ausgetragen werden können.According to the invention, it is expedient if the blow bars of the impact rotor form an acute angle with the breast surfaces of the chip knife. The extreme oblique position of the counter-rotating blow bars reduces the energy required to separate the chips along the fiber. At the same time, the strength of the drag flow is reduced by the blow bars is produced. The slipping off of the cut chips from the blow bars is also accelerated, which nevertheless impart a high kinetic energy to the cut chips, which forces the chips onto a trajectory on which the drag current carries them out of the danger area on the one hand, but on the other hand their high level Accelerate the initial acceleration so that it can be carried out more easily.

Für den leichteren Austrag sind mehrere, gezielt beeinflußbare Faktoren von Bedeutung.

  • Die Drehzahl des Schneidrotors bzw. die daraus resultierende Schnittgeschwindigkeit, aus der sich die Geschwindigkeit ergibt, mit der das Spanband in den Bereich des Schlagrotors eintritt;
  • die Drehzahl des Schlagrotors und der Abstand zwischen jeweils zwei Schlagleisten, der die Spanlänge bestimmt;
  • die Breite der Schlagleisten, deren Abstand und Formgebung;
  • die vorstehend erwähnten Luftdurchtrittsschlitze in zumindest einigen der Schlagleisten;
  • die ebenfalls bereits vorstehend erläuterte Schräglage der Schlagleisten.
Several factors that can be influenced in a targeted manner are important for easier discharge.
  • The speed of the cutting rotor or the resulting cutting speed, from which the speed at which the chip band enters the area of the impact rotor results;
  • the speed of the impact rotor and the distance between two impact bars, which determines the chip length;
  • the width of the blow bars, their spacing and shape;
  • the aforementioned air passage slots in at least some of the blow bars;
  • the inclination of the blow bars, which has also already been explained above.

Auch der Schneidrotor erzeugt eine Luftströmung, die sich allerdings ständig verändert und im Vergleich zu der durch den Schlagrotor erzeugten Luftströmung nicht nur sehr viel kleiner ist sondern auch nur einen geringen Einfluß auf die Späne ausübt.The cutting rotor also generates an air flow, which, however, is constantly changing and, in comparison to the air flow generated by the impact rotor, is not only much smaller but also has only a slight influence on the chips.

Bei einem Schneidrotor mit gegenläufigem Schlagrotor lassen sich die jeweils gewünschten Spanlängen errechnen aus der Schnittgeschwindigkeit des Schneidrotors, dem Schneidrotordurchmesser, dem Schlagrotor-Innendurchmesser, der Anzahl der Schneidmesser, dem Schneidenabstand, dem Schlagleistenabstand, der Anzahl der Schlagleisten sowie der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des Schlagrotors.In the case of a cutting rotor with an opposing impact rotor, the desired chip lengths can be calculated from the cutting speed of the cutting rotor, the cutting rotor diameter, the impact rotor inner diameter, the number of cutting knives, the cutting edge distance, the impact bar distance, the number of impact bars and the peripheral speed of the impact rotor.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Holzzerspanungsmaschine weist einen Schneidrotor 1 auf, in dem konzentrisch ein Schlagrotor 2 angeordnet ist. Beide Rotoren 1,2 sind gegenläufig zueinander angetrieben.The wood-cutting machine shown in FIG. 1 has a cutting rotor 1, in which a striking rotor 2 is arranged concentrically. Both rotors 1, 2 are driven in opposite directions to one another.

Der Schneidrotor 1 ist auf seiner in Figur 1 rechts liegenden Seite durch eine Scheibe 17 vollständig abgedeckt, die ein Eindringen von Holz-Reststücken o.dergl. verhindert. Auf der der Scheibe 17 gegenüberliegenden Seite weist der Schneidrotor 1 nur einen Versteifungsring 12 auf, ist im übrigen aber offen ausgebildet. Zwischen der Scheibe 17 und dem Versteifungsring 12 sind achsparallel liegende Spanmesser 9 angeordnet, die jeweils auf Messerträgern 9b befestigt sind. Der Schneidrotor 1 sitzt mit einer Nabe 15 drehfest auf einem Konus 16 einer horizontal gelagrten Antriebswelle 4, von der eine Lagerung 5 angedeutet ist. Der nicht näher dargestellte Antrieb der Antriebswelle 4 erfolgt über Riemen. In den Figuren 2 und 3 gibt der Pfeil die Umdrehungsrichtung 18 des Schneidrotors 1 an.The cutting rotor 1 is completely covered on its right side in FIG. 1 by a disk 17 which prevents the penetration of wood remnants or the like. prevented. On the side opposite the disk 17, the cutting rotor 1 has only one stiffening ring 12, but is otherwise designed to be open. Between the disk 17 and the stiffening ring 12, axially parallel chip knives 9 are arranged, each of which is fastened to knife carriers 9b. The cutting rotor 1 is seated with a hub 15 in a rotationally fixed manner on a cone 16 of a horizontally mounted drive shaft 4, of which a bearing 5 is indicated. The drive shaft 4, not shown, is driven by belts. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the arrow indicates the direction of rotation 18 of the cutting rotor 1.

Der Schlagrotor 2 ist mit achsparallelen Schlagleisten 10 bestückt, die jeweils auf Schlagleistenträgern 2a lösbar befestigt sind. Diese Schlagleistenträger 2a liegen zwischen einem sich nach innen erstreckenden Konustellerblech 2b und einem Versteifungsring 13. Der Schlagrotor 2 ist mit einer Hohlwelle 3 unmittelbar auf der Nabe 15 des Schneidrotors 1 gelagert. Der Antrieb des Schlagrotors 2 erfolgt über Keilriemen. In den Figuren 2 u. 3 zeigt ein Pfeil die Umlaufrichtung 19 des Schlagrotors 2.The beating rotor 2 is equipped with axially parallel beating bars 10, each of which is detachably fastened to beating bar supports 2a. These blow bar supports 2a lie between an inwardly extending cone plate 2b and a stiffening ring 13. The beating rotor 2 is mounted with a hollow shaft 3 directly on the hub 15 of the cutting rotor 1. The impact rotor 2 is driven by V-belts. In Figures 2 u. 3 shows an arrow showing the direction of rotation 19 of the impact rotor 2.

Die Antriebswelle 4 ist auf einem Maschinenschlitten 7 gelagert, der quer zu in den Figuren 2 bis 4 eingezeichnetem Holz 20 verschiebbar ist, das bei seiner Zuführung jeweils bis zu einer Prallwand 14 vorgeschoben wird, bevor ein neuer Zerspanungsvorgang eingeleitet werden kann. Insbesondere Figur 4 läßt erkennen, daß sowohl die Spanmesser 9 als auch die Schlagleisten 10 im wesentlichen parallel zur Faserlängsrichtung des zu zerspanenden Holzes 20 angeordnet sind.The drive shaft 4 is mounted on a machine slide 7 which is displaceable transversely to the wood 20 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and which is fed up to a baffle 14 when it is fed in before a new machining process can be initiated. In particular, FIG. 4 shows that both the chip knives 9 and the blow bars 10 are arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the fibers of the wood 20 to be cut.

Die Zerspanung erfolgt von außen nach innen, wobei die erzeugten Späne 21 kontinuierlich aus der Holzzerspanungsmaschine abgeführt werden und zwar auf einen Flachgutförderer 8, der die Späne 21 zu einem nicht dargestellten Bunker für Naßspäne oder aber zu einem Trockner befördert. Zur Unterstützung der angenähert axialen Austragung der Späne 21 ragt in den Zerspanungsinnenraum 22 des Schlagrotors 2 ein stationäres Leitblech 6, das schaufelförmig gekrümmt ist, sich angenähert über die volle radiale Höhe des Zerspanungsinnenraumes 22 erstreckt und an der tiefsten Stelle des Zerspanungsinnenraumes 22 liegt. Die Auswölbung dieses Leitbleches 6 liegt in Richtung der Umlaufrichtung 19 des Schlagrotors 2. In Umdrehungsrichtung 18 des Schneidrotors 1 gesehen ist dem Leitblech 6 ein Nebenleitblech 6a vorgeschaltet, das in den Figuren 2 und 3 im linken unteren Quadranten des Zerspanungsinnenraumes 22 liegt und eine dem Leitblech 6 entgegengerichtete Auswölbung aufweist. Beide Leitbleche 6, 6a sind mit verstellbaren Druckluftdüsen 11 bestückt und sind auf dem Maschinenschlitten 7 angeordnet.The cutting takes place from the outside inwards, the chips 21 being produced being continuously removed from the wood-cutting machine onto a flat material conveyor 8 which conveys the chips 21 to a bunker (not shown) for wet chips or to a dryer. In support of the approximate Axial discharge of the chips 21 protrudes into the machining interior 22 of the impact rotor 2, a stationary guide plate 6, which is curved in the shape of a blade, extends approximately over the full radial height of the machining interior 22 and lies at the deepest point of the machining interior 22. The bulge of this guide plate 6 lies in the direction of the direction of rotation 19 of the impact rotor 2. Seen in the direction of rotation 18 of the cutting rotor 1, the guide plate 6 is preceded by a secondary guide plate 6a, which in FIGS. 2 and 3 lies in the lower left quadrant of the machining interior 22 and one the guide plate 6 has opposite bulge. Both guide plates 6, 6a are equipped with adjustable compressed air nozzles 11 and are arranged on the machine slide 7.

Gemäß Figur 3 kann der Schlagrotor 2 gegenüber seinem Zerspanungsinnenraum 22 durch ein stationäres, ebenfalls auf dem Maschinenschlitten 7 befestigtes Abschirmblech 6b abgedeckt sein, das sich außerhalb des eigentlichen Zerspanungsbereiches bis zum Leitblech 6 erstreckt.According to FIG. 3, the striking rotor 2 can be covered with respect to its machining interior 22 by a stationary shielding plate 6b, which is also fastened to the machine slide 7 and extends outside the actual machining area to the guide plate 6.

Figur 5 dient zur Verdeutlichung der Schnittgeometrie. Von dem Schneidrotor 1 ist im Querschnitt lediglich ein auf einem Messerträger 9b befestigtes Spanmesser 9 dargestellt, während der Schlagrotor 2 nur durch eine Schlagleiste 10 symbolisiert ist. Der Spanwinkel γ (das ist der Winkel, den die Brustfläche 9c des Spanmessers 9 mit dem durch die Schneidkante 9a des Spanmessers 9 geführten Radius R des Schneidrotors 1 einschließt), soll möglichst groß gewahlt werden und liegt über 50°. Der Keilwinkel ß (das ist der Winkel, den die genannte Brustfläche 9c mit der Mantelfläche des Schneidrotors einschließt) liegt im Bereich von 27° - 30°. Der Spanablaufwinkel γ′ (das ist der Winkel, den die genannte Brustfläche 9c mit der Spanleitfläche 9d, des Messerträgers 9b einschließt) wird so groß wie möglich gewählt. Dies erfolgt bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch, daß der Keilwinkel des spitzwinklig ausgebildeten Messerträgers 9b möglichst klein gewählt wird (z.B. 25° - 30°). Dann liegt der Spanablaufwinkel γ′ bei ≧ 150°. Der Abstand a zwischen der Schneidkante 0a des Spanmessers 9 und der radial außenliegenden Oberkante des Messerträgers 9b beträgt 12 - 15 mm. Die Schlagleisten 10 des Schlagrotors 2 bilden mit den Brustflächen 9c der Spanmesser 9 einen Winkel von < 90°. Der Radialspalt 23 zwischen den Oberkanten der Schlagleisten 10 des Schlagrotors 2 und den Unterkanten der Spanleitflächen 9d des Schneidrotors 1 ist so schmal wie möglich ausgebildet; die Schlagleisten 10 sollen also so dicht wie möglich an den Unterkanten der Spanleitflächen 9d vorbeidrehen.Figure 5 serves to illustrate the cutting geometry. Of the cutting rotor 1, only a chip knife 9 fastened on a knife carrier 9b is shown in cross-section, while the striking rotor 2 is symbolized only by a striking bar 10. The rake angle γ (this is the angle that the chest surface 9c of the chip knife 9 includes with the radius R of the cutting rotor 1 guided through the cutting edge 9a of the chip knife 9) should be chosen as large as possible and is over 50 °. The wedge angle ß (this is the angle that the aforementioned breast surface 9c encloses with the outer surface of the cutting rotor) is in the range from 27 ° to 30 °. The chip run-off angle γ '(this is the angle that the mentioned face 9c with the chip guide surface 9d, the knife holder 9b) is chosen as large as possible. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this takes place in that the wedge angle of the knife carrier 9b, which is formed at an acute angle, is selected to be as small as possible (for example 25 ° -30 °). Then the chip discharge angle γ ′ is ≧ 150 °. The distance a between the cutting edge 0a of the chip knife 9 and the radially outer upper edge of the knife carrier 9b is 12-15 mm. The beating bars 10 of the beating rotor 2 form an angle of <90 ° with the breast surfaces 9c of the chip knife 9. The radial gap 23 between the upper edges of the blow bars 10 of the impact rotor 2 and the lower edges of the chip guide surfaces 9d of the cutting rotor 1 is as narrow as possible; The blow bars 10 should therefore turn past the lower edges of the chip guide surfaces 9d as closely as possible.
