Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A strip steel cutter to be used in wood chipping machines for peeling off wood chips or wood wool, has scratchers pro-jecting beyond its cutting edge and formed by curved up beads which extend transversely over the total width of the cutter and cross recesses provided parallelly to the central longitu-dinal axis of the cutter, whereby stop faces are formed.

Description

r~~
Z995 ; ~.
The invention relates to a strip steel cutter to be used in wood chipping machines for peeling off wood chips or wood wool t provided with scratchers projecting beyond the cutting edge of the cutter and formed there by curving up beads, as well as to a method of producing a strip steel cutter.
When producing chips for chip wood or the like, cutter block chippers are used, wherein single-edged or double-edged turnable cutters produced of strip steel and inserted in the cutter block have proved advantageous.
In order to delimit the dimensions of the chips it has been known to emboss, by means of embossing tools, scratchers into the cutting edges of the cutters in the regio~ of the cutting edges, i.e. beadlike curvatures projecting out of the , ~v cutting edge and interrupting the edge in the longitudinal direction (German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,214,434~. The ;~
heights of these beadlike scratchers are technologically limited, because of the maximally admissible elongation of the region of the cutting edges. The scratchers could be produced ; - -~
so as to project beyond the cutting edge only by between ~o approximately 0.2 and 1.4 mm, which approximately corresponds to the chip width of a flake, the cutters thus being usable only for the production of flakes. If thicker chips or wood wool were to be produced, the maximally achievable height of the scratchers scored in the region of the cutting edges did not suffice for a perfect delimitation of the chips.
The scratchers produced in the region of the cutting edges by deformation furthermore have the disadvantage that the plane ;
of the cutting edge and the plane of the scratcher are not parallel, so that such scratchers - as compared to the cutting 3o edge - are subjected to greater wear and that these strip steel - 1 - :

,~

'. . . ': . ,, '' '':, , , ' ~6;Z995 cutters have to be exchanged even before the cutting edge be-comes blunt~
A problem with cutters produced of strip steel is the po-sitive mounting of the cutters in the cutter block. For solving this problem lt has been known, for instance from German Offen-legungsschrift No. 2,220,003, to provide strip steel cutters with holes in which holding pins of the cutter block engage.
This mode of fastening has the disadvantage that only line con-tact prevails between the holding pins and the holes of the cutters, and that the holes as well as the pins are worn out on account of the dynamic stress exerted by the cutting forces.
The cutter then will not any longer be positioned exactly on the prescribed path.
It has further been known (German Offenlegungsschrift No.
2,514,548) to provide the strip steel cutter with a groove in which a spring arranged on the cutter holder of the cutter block positively engages. By this, the cutter is supported along a ~arge area and the exact position of the cutter is guaranteed even after long times of operation. In this case, it is however disadvantageous that the thickness of the strip steel must not be under a certain value, since the inherent stiffness o the cutter would otherwise be endangered and the groove cross section serving for clamping the cutter would be too thin.
The invention aims at avoiding these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object ~a provide a strip steel cutter of the initially described kind having scratchers-and being produceable of extremely thin strip steel, in which cutter the scratchers can be formed with any desired height and which, despite its low thickness, can be perfectly centered and fixed.
These objects are achieved according to the invention in , , , ~ ; :

106Z9~5 that the beads extend transversely over the total width of the strip steel cutter, crossing recesses, preferably long holes, each provided parallelly to the central longitudinal axis of the cutter, for the formation of stop faces.
The height of the scratcher can thus be chosen freely, it will result from the respective bead size provided which has no technological limits~ The beads interrupted by the recesses, on the cutting faces of the beads with the recesses form stop faces projecting out of the strip plane, for centering and fix-ing the strip steel cutter, so that the cutter, even if it isproduced of very thin strip material, can still be precisely centered and fixed.
If the strip steel cutter is to be used as a turnable cut-ter with cutting edges ground into both longitudinal edges, the recesses advantageously extend symmetrically to the central longitudinal axis of the cutter.
According to a preferred embodiment the faces directed to-wards each other, of each beadl contact each other.
The invention shall now be explalned in more detail by way of three embodiments illustrated in the drawing, wherein Fig. 1 shows a section of a strip steel cutter, viewed per-pendicularly to the strip steel plane before curving up the scratchers, -Fig. 2 is a side view of a strip steel cutter section with scratchers already formed therein, Fig. 3 is a view in the direction of the arrow III of Fig.2, Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of the strip steel cutter ~-according to the invention, in an illustration analogous to Fig. 2,
3~ Figs. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment, Fig. 5 illustrating -- 3 ~

, -. - :, ' ,' ~: ~ -~ , . " ' : . ; ,, .

1~6~95 a top view analogous to Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 illustrating a view in the direction of the arrow VI of Fig. 5.
A strip steel section is denoted by 1, in which long holes 2 are provided whose central longitudinal plane 3 is laid through the central longitudinal axis 4 and at a right angle to the plane of the strip steel. Cutting edges 5 are ground into both ;
longitudinal edges of the strip steel 1.
In Fig. 2 a side view of a strip steel cutter section is represented, already comprising embossed beads 6 forming the scratchers. The central plane 7 of each bead, in this embodi-ment, extends perpendîcularly to the central longitudinal axis 4 of the strip steel cutter. In Fig. 1 this central plane 7 is also indicated in a dot-and-dash line. As can be seen from Fig.3 the cutting edges 8 of the scratchers are ground into the corners of the beads.
As can be seen particularly from Fig. 3, the curved up beads 6 extending over the total width of the strip steel cutter 1 are interrupted by the long holes 2 towards the central longitudinal axis of the cutter, and are limited by the walls of the long holes, stop faces 9 thus being formed, which serve for clamping the strip steel cutter in the cutter holder.
As is shown in Flg. 2, the beads 6 are upset in the direc-tion of the central longitudinal axis 4 of the strip steel cutter until the opposing faces of each bead 6 contact each other, thus increasing the inherent stiffness of the cutter and the wear - resistance of the scratchers.
In Fig. 4 a strip steel cutter is illustrated in the side view, in which the central planes 7' of the beads 6' are arranged perpendicularly to the strip steel face, but in a slight angle inclinedly to the central longitudinal axis 4 of the strip steel
4 --~06~995 cutter, in order to take into account the oblique cutting angle of the cutter.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, beads 6' are provided similarly to the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 4, which beads are arranged in a slight angle to the central longi-tudinal axis 4 of the strip steel cutter. In addition to the stop faces 9 formed by the beads further stop faces 10 are pro-vided which are formed by punching a further recess 11 between two adjacent beads 6' and bending up the edges 12 of that re-cess 11. Those additional stop faces lO can be designed in away that the strip steel cutter can be fastened to the cutter holder of the cutter block with a clamping effect, similar to the snap-fastener principle.
The strip steel cutter according to the invention can, since the beads 6, 6' fulfill two functions, i.e.
l) the formation of the scratchers and 2) the formation of the stop faces, -be produced of strip steel with a thickness of less than 1.5, ~ in particular less than lmm, and nevertheless can, according to the height of the embossed bead, be used also for peeling off thick chips and wood wool, the cutter being precisely adjustable and fixable in the cutter block, due to the stop faces 9 formed by the beads 6, 6', which stop faces are relatively large with regard to the thickness of the cutter, and the service life of the scratchers being approximately the same as of the cutting edge, since crowding in the region of the scratchers is tota~ly avoided. A further advantage of the strip steel cutter according to the invention is to be seen in the simple and cost-saving production of the cutter.
For producing the strip steel cutter according to the in-f -la62sss vention the long holes 2 are punched into the initially con-tinuous strip steel. Afterwards, the beads 6, 6', whose central planes 7, 7' cross the long holes 2 and extend over the total width of the strip steel, are embossed and, if desired, upset, so that two opposing faces of each bead will get into contact with each other. ~fterwards, the strip steel is sub~ected to a grinding and quenching and tempering treatment for producing the cutting edges 8 of the scratcher in the region of the outer edges of the beads 6, 6'. Then the strip steel is cut into in-dividual cutters. During the grinding and quenching and temperingtreatment the stop faces 9 of the beads,-pro~ecting out of the strip steel plane, serve for the exact guidance of the strip steel.
