Definitions
- the invention relates to a sawing machine having a blade set comprising at least one elongated blade and blade fixing means to which the ends of the blade are fixed, means attached to one end of the blade set for reciprocating the blade set essentially lengthwise of the blade, and means attached to at least one end of the blade set to produce a yielding movement of the blade essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the blade, said means being formed from a connecting rod, one end of which is attached to the blade set, and from an eccentric element.
- the background of the invention is traceable to the applicant's investigations conducted on gang saws in the 1950' s.
- a gang saw disclosed in EP 0,412,958, the saw comprising means, a connecting rod and an eccentric element for producing a linear reciprocating sawing movement.
- the end of the connecting rod spaced apart from the blades is mounted via two rods on the frame of the machine and on the eccentric, respectively.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a sawing machine having a simple structure and blades that perform highly advantageous sawing movement .
- the sawing machine of the invention is characterized in that the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the eccentric element, the rate of rotation of the element being synchronized with the lengthwise movement of the blade so as to make the blade move along an essentially elliptic path in the sawing region.
- the end of the connecting rod is connected directly to the eccentric element, the path of the blade becomes essentially elliptic, which is highly advantageous to the sawing resul .
- the teeth on the blade have an advantageous elliptic cutting path, which is essentially straight
- a reciprocating sawing movement is effected with a drive connecting rod connected to one (lower) end of the blades or blade set;
- - in the cutting plane of the blades the cutting path of the teeth is effected with a control connecting rod, the eccentric movement of which is synchronized with the drive crank wheel of the machine;
- - in the cutting plane the blade set is supported with wide control rods and with blade guides located above and below the timber to be cut;
- the blade set is assembled with assembly bolts passing through blades, spacers and end pieces; - stretching of blades and a blade frame have been eliminated altogether.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the control connecting rods are connected to both ends of the blade means .
- a sawing machine according to the invention is illustrated by the following schematic drawings. The simple means for feeding and controlling the timber to be sawn are not shown in the drawings, nor is the adjustment of the overhang of the blades, since they are not the object of the present invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a sawing machine of the invention, seen from the left-hand side in the direction of feed of the timber; fig. 2 shows a reduced view of the sawing machine from the opposite side; fig. 3 is a cross-section taken along line A-A of fig. 1; fig. 4 shows an enlarged front view of a blade set; fig. 5 shows a side view of the blade set; fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of the cutting path 4d of the teeth in the middle section of the blade; fig. 7 shows a second embodiment of a sawing machine of the invention, seen from the left-hand side in the direction of feed of the timber, like fig. 1; fig. 8 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of a spring means; and fig. 9 shows an enlarged view of a cutting path 4d2 of the teeth in the middle section of the blade.
- the cutting path of the teeth on the blades is drawn with a model machine constructed in the scale 1:2 of the planned prototype saw with a stroke length of 300 mm and stroke number of 1200-1500 l/min.
- a frame of the machine is indicated by reference number 1.
- Number 2 indicates a blade or a blade set comprising blades
- 2a indicates a blade beam on which a blade set assembled from blades 2, spacers 2b separating them and end pieces 2c is arranged with assembly bolts 2d and an assembly shaft 2e.
- the fit between the blades 2 and the shaft 2e is rendered so wide in the longitudinal direction of the blades that minor unequal heat expansion of a blade can take place without obstruction.
- the blades are guided in the lateral direction by a guide unit 2f from beneath the timber to be sawn and by a movable guide unit 2g from above.
- Reference number 3 indicates timber to be sawn, the timber being fed at a feed speed u against the blades moving back and forth essentially vertically.
- the blades are moved by a connecting rod 4, the rod being mounted on a shaft 2h fixed to a blade beam 2a such that it articulates .
- the drive connecting rod 4 is moved via a crank 6a by a crank wheel and thereby a flywheel 6 fixed to the shaft, the crank wheel being driven by a drive wheel 7 arranged on the same shaft on the other side of the frame 1 and mounted on the frame, the drive wheel in turn being connected with a band 7a to a driving device 8, preferably an electric motor controlled by a frequency converter.
- a control rod 10a of a lower control system 10 is also mounted on the shaft 2h, the rod also being the connecting rod of the system and obtaining the minor control movement from an eccentric element lOe fixed to a crank shaft 10b and mounted on the control connecting rod 10a.
- the control connecting rod 10a is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blades.
- the control connecting rod of the upper end of the blade set is, in turn, mounted on the assembly shaft 2e of the blade set. Toothed wheels 10c and 20c fixed to shafts 10b and 20b are moved synchronously via a toothed belt 7d by a pulley 7c of an equal size, the pulley being connected to the drive shaft of the machine and the belt being supported by a tension roller 7e.
- an advantageous cutting path 4d of the teeth (fig. 1) in the middle of the blades is obtained, the advantageous path approximating an ellipsis, fig. 6.
- the path during a downward working stroke of the blade, the path is essentially straight; when the blades are at a lower dead point, the path is rounded; during a return stroke of the blades, the path curves backward and the blade is detached from the bottom of the saw kerf; when the blades are at an upper dead point, the path is rounded.
- D indicates the diameter of the path of the crank 6a in the drive crank wheel 6 and the stroke length of the blades.
- Reference d indicates the diameter of the crank movement of the control system 10, the diameter here being equal to the corresponding diameter in control system 20.
- the advantageous cutting path found in the investigations was examined with simple test equipment and a power-driven model saw having a stroke length of 150 mm.
- the shape of the path has been noted to depend on the ratio of the stroke length D of the blades to the length of the control connecting rods - in the test, the ratio was 1:2.5 and 1:3 - and on the diameter d of the control rod, which in the above model saw is 18 mm.
- the shape of the cutting path can also be affected by changing the synchronization of the drive and control connecting rods of the machine.
- the sawing machine Due to the blade guides and the expedient path of the blades, the sawing machine according to the invention is able to operate without the blades being stretched in the longitudinal direction by a blade frame or by some other system.
- the blades are subjected to inertia and cutting forces in the longitudinal direction.
- the stretching of blades that compensates for these forces can be implemented, where necessary, by spring means, the spring force of which generates a reaction force to the inertia forces of the blade and its fixing arrangements during the operation of the machine when the blade is located at and in the vicinity of the dead point of the path on the side of the connecting rod of the crank wheel. Because of this, the buckling risk of the blades is decreased or removed, and it is possible to use very thin blades in the machine, which in turn enables sawing of very thin boards and sheets.
- a second embodiment of the sawing machine according to the invention comprising the above- described spring means, is shown in figures 7 to 9.
- the lower end of the blade set in the cutting plane of the blades is controlled by control rods of a straight movement component 40 arranged below the feeding table of the machine and connected to shaft 2h.
- This kind of straight movement is known from the Applicant's own patent FI 77,397.
- the control of the upper end of the blade set is implemented by a crank-connecting-rod- control component 20 according to the invention.
- the spring means 30 shown in figures 7 and 8 comprises: a cylinder 31, a piston 32 moving inside it as well as a piston rod 33, an abutment ring 35 surrounding a cylinder pipe 31, the ring having two shaft journals 36 articulated to a support 37 fixed to the frame 1 of the machine on both sides of the pipe 31.
- the piston rod 33 passes through a linear slide bearing 38 arranged at the lower end of the pipe 31 and is articulated at its lower end to shaft 2e at the upper end of the blade means.
- the cylinder 31 has holes through which air can change.
- the maximum force directed to the piston 32 depends on the diameter of the piston and on the compression ratio h:hl of the cylinder, in which h is the distance of the lower surface of the holes in the cylinder from the bottom of the cylinder and hi is the smallest distance of the piston.
- the compression ratio can be changed by adjusting the length of the piston rod 33.
- the new sawing machine is small, simple in structure and clear and rapid in operation, since the mass of the reciprocating parts of the machine is, due to the advantageous path of the teeth on the blade, only 1 to 2% of that of a conventional gang saw having the same sawing capacity. Since the mobile parts are light, the machine is not difficult to balance. Also, the thin blades are small, simple and easy to maintain; they are well laterally supported at their both ends in the blade set that is assembled outside the machine and can be changed rapidly, the support being helped with blade guides. The system makes it possible to saw very thin boards.
- the number of the blades sawing simultaneously can also be selected very freely.
- the higher cutting speed and the blade guides make it possible to obtain thin chips (sawdust) , a good sawing result and good timber measuring accuracy. Because of the thin blades and the good measuring accuracy, the new sawing machine makes it possible to produce products from the same raw material with a smaller loss of raw material, whereby the sawing is significantly more economic.
- the new sawing machine will replace the conventional gang saw due to its above advantages and also take up fields of use from band saws and circular saws, especially in sawing of logs. Since the new sawing machine cannot be defined to belong to any previously known type of sawing machine, its working title has been an ellipse saw due to the cutting path of the teeth on the • blade that approximates an ellipse.
