- the secondary circular saws are fixed to the front of the blade of the circular sawmill or band saw and the blades of the secondary circular saw saw the cross-wise saw-cuts before the sawed lumber unit is cut off of the log. It is also possible to fix the secondary circular saws to the back of the blade. Such structures are simple. In both cases, the secondary circular saws are mounted such that the tip of the secondary circular saw blade extends to the saw-cut which is made by the primary saw blade.
- secondary circular saws are adjusted in relation to one another with an adjuster to regulate the width of the unit of sawed lumber.
- the width of the unit of sawed lumber can be regulated easily and simply in the most appropriate way for the purpose by taking the measurements of the log into account.
- the secondary circular saws are adjusted with a lifting mechanism along the vertical width of the log to control the vertical position of the unit of sawed lumber.
- the secondary circular saws can be moved to the desired level along the vertical width of the log, so that a sawed piece of wood 5 can be cut in the desired width from the desired place on the log.
- indicating devices located on the secondary circular saws indicate the position of the blades of the secondary circular saws on the surface of the log.
- This kind of an indicating device can be an indicating o device, known as such, for example, different indicating devices based on the use of lights, such as a laser light indicator.
- the secondary circular saws and log can be guided such that a unit of sawed lumber, cut in the desired width and from the desired place on the log, can be sawed with the secondary circular saws.
- a circular sawmill or band saw accessory formed in accordance with the invention comprises a lifting device which is fixed to the log's traveling table and which is for adjusting the elevation of the top end of the log. The top end of the log can be adjusted to the desired elevation with the lifting device.
- the accessory comprises an adjuster for adjusting the secondary circular saws in relation to one another in order to regulate the width of the unit of sawed lumber. Additionally, the accessory comprises a lifting mechanism for regulating the secondary circular saws to control the vertical positioning on the log of the unit of sawed lumber. 5
- Figure 1 illustrates a certain application of a circular sawmill, as viewed from the side, in which a method applied in accordance with the invention is being used, and which includes an accessory formed in accordance with the invention
- Figure 2 illustrates a circular sawmill formed in accordance with Figure 1, as viewed from above,
- Figure 3 illustrates a circular sawmill formed in accordance with Figure 1, as viewed from the end,
- Figure 4 illustrates a circular sawmill formed in accordance with Figure 1 , as viewed fiotn the end, to which is fixed a third secondary circular saw blade, and
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the position of a log on the traveling table and a log being sawed using a certain specialized sawing method applied in accordance with the invention.
- the figures illustrate a single-blade circular sawmill which comprises a frame 5, a blade 1, a blade gear 6, a moving traveling table 4, an adjustable control 2 and an impression roller 3 which are attached to and/or supported on the frame.
- the log to be sawed 1 is placed on the moving traveling table 4 during sawing and the log and the table are moved in relation to the circular saw blade and frame in a way known as such.
- the control 2 is attached adjustably in a conventional way to the frame 5.
- the adjustable control 2 defines the thickness of the sawed lumber.
- the impression roller 3 is designed in a way known as such to press the log against the adjustable control 2. When the log is sawed, it is between the adjustable control and the impression roller.
- a circular sawmill formed according to the invention additionally comprises two secondary circular saws 9, 10, which are, in this application, located in front of the primary blade next to the control 2 and attached to the frame 5.
- the device comprises a lifting plate 11, which functions as a lifting device, and which, in this application, is located in the front of the traveling table, a turning axle 12, which is attached to the lifting plate, and an ami 13, which is attached to the axle, and by which the lifting plate 1 1 is controlled.
- the device comprises a self-closing clamping device 14 which is attached to the axle, and which clamps the lifting plate in the position to which it has been adjusted.
- the lifting plate adjusts the position of elevation of the top end of the log to the desired height. It is also possible to move the lifting plate and the log during the sawing, whereby the mechanism can saw curved pieces from the log.
- Figure 3 illustrates a transfer gear 15, by which the lower secondary circular saw 10 is moved into the sawing position. Additionally, the figure illustrates the gear 16 of the lower circular saw and the power transmission 17 from the gear to the blade of the circular saw.
- the upper circular saw 9 has a corresponding device, but they are not numbered.
- the blade gear is a conventional device, such as a hydraulic motor, electric motor, pneumatic motor, etc.
- this figure illustrates an adjuster 20, by which the distance between the upper and lower secondary circular blades is adjusted, hereby determining or defining the sawed width. Secondary blades can be turned into and out of the sawing position in a way appropriate for the purpose, for example, by mechanically lifting, pneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically.
- the figure also illustrates a lifting mechanism 21, by which both secondary circular saws are simultaneously lifted.
- This mechanism controls the elevation of the sawed wood in respect to the log being sawed, and with it, curves can be sawed by moving t e secondar ' circular saws during the sawing.
- the lifting mechanism can be, for example, servo cylinders, servo engines, mechanically operated lifts or other mechanism appropriate for the purpose.
- the device additionally comprises indicating devices (not illustrated in the figures) which are laser lights, or corresponding lights, which indicate the positionings of the sawing blades on the surface of the log.
- Secondary circular saws formed in accordance with Figure 4 have a third blade 28, whereby the sawed lumber can be more effectively sawed with the secondary circular saws.
- the log 8 When using a method carried out in accordance with the invention and a circular sawmill in accordance with the figures, the log 8 is placed on the moving traveling table 4 with the top end towards the blades, and the desired elevation of the top end of the log is adjusted according to Figures 5 and 6 using the lifting plate 1 1.
- the lifting plate and the parts attached to it also move with the traveling table when sawing is taking place.
- the spaces between the blades of the secondary circular saws 9, 10, are adjusted as desired, as is their elevation from the level of the traveling table.
- the secondary circular saws are mounted such that the tip of the blade of the secondary circular saws extends to the saw-cut being made by the primary saw blade. While the sawing is being done, the traveling table is moved with the log attached to it against the blades.
- saw-cuts 23 and 24 can first be sawed, and then saw-cuts 25, 26, 27, whereby two separate units of prepared sawed lumber are obtained.
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate special sawing options, for example, when sawing with the log surface and a rotten core should be left unsawed.
- the sapwo ⁇ d of a butt log is the best raw material and the core is bad, so a method and a device formed in accordance with the invention also enable this kind of option.
- the ways to saw are numerous and they can vary considerably in different cases.
- Secondar ' circular saws, or circular saws can also be moved under the safety guard of the ciicular sawmill control if one chooses not to use the secondary circular saw.
