Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a firewood processor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such processor is known from the document US4286638A1 .
  • the wood burnt in fireplaces, firewood is made from limbed logs with various types of firewood processors made for the purpose.
  • the log used for the production of firewood is set on a feeding table from which the log is moved to be cut to a specific size.
  • the cutting process is usually performed with a chainsaw that cuts the log with a downward motion.
  • the cut log then drops to a splitting chute into a lengthwise position between a splitting cylinder and a splitting blade.
  • the cut log splits when it is pressed against the splitting blade by the splitting cylinder.
  • the feeding table, its frame and the cutting blade are positioned above the splitting chute so that the cut log moves to the splitting chute underneath by falling under gravity.
  • Malfunction in the mentioned firewood processor is often caused by a log which has fallen into the splitting chute but does not settle to the chute in the expected lengthwise position between the splitting blade and the splitting cylinder.
  • the firewood processor produces firewood of nonspecific shape and it often happens that as a diagonally positioned log is pressed against the splitting blade by the hydraulic cylinder, the capacity of the cylinder is exceeded and the log is jammed onto the splitting blade.
  • Removing the jammed log from the splitting blade is laborious, time consuming and a safety risk from the point of view of functionality of the firewood processor.
  • the reasons for security risks are caused by turning the safety equipment on/off, removing a jammed log from the splitting blade and also that the user overrides or removes the safety mechanisms designed to increase safety, to make the process of removing or straightening the jammed log quick and easy.
  • a malfunction is thus often caused by the uncontrolled movement, while falling freely, of the cut log into the splitting chute.
  • An object of the present invention is to achieve a firewood processor that is free from problems caused by the faulty position of the log, as described above.
  • the figure 1 represents thus a firewood processor 1 according to the invention as seen directly from above.
  • a tree, log or a block of wood that needs to be cut or split has been marked in the drawings with the reference number 2. It will be fed onto the cutting table 3 that has suitable common means for holding the log in place.
  • the said means can be of any type.
  • the cutting table can be provided for example with rollers, usually having an axis direction perpendicular to the direction of feeding.
  • the splitting table is marked with reference number 6.
  • the table is usually chute-like so the piece of wood moving onto it usually settles lengthwise on the bottom.
  • the splitting blade 7 is located at the end of the chute.
  • the sawn piece of wood 2' is pressed against the splitting blade by an essentially plate-like part 5 usually equipped with a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the range of motion of the splitting cylinder does not reach all the way up to the splitting blade 7, but far enough to create space to the chute 6 for the next log to be moved for sawing.
  • firewood is made so that the log is fed into cutting position onto the cutting table 3, sawn usually with a chainsaw 8 at which time the sawn piece falls along a suitable wall to the splitting chute 6 where it will be split with the movement of the splitting cylinder, and which motion will be repeated in a suitable cycle.
  • a solution provided by the invention is as follows.
  • the sawn piece of wood, block 2' instead of falling to the splitting chute 6 right after being cut, now remains in position supported by extension 9 of the cutting table.
  • the extension 9 consists of two branches 11, 12, that are positioned at an oblique or right angle to each other.
  • the shaft 17 of the first branch 11 is provided with an articulating joint 15 at its lower end and attached to the lower parts of the frame of the processor.
  • the distal end of the other branch 12, which holds the sawn piece of wood along with branch 11, is attached to the frame of the processor 14 via a joint 13.
  • the transit distance of the sawn log from the position of being supported by the cutting board extension 9 into the splitting chute 6 is very short, and the probability of the log settling in an incorrect position for the splitting procedure is minimal.
  • the sawing motion initiates a chain of movements, as a result of which the sawn block 2' automatically moves into the splitting chute 6.
  • a roller 18 attached to the frame of the sawing means 8 moves so it touches the surface of the branch 12 at the point when the log has been already sawed for some time. With the help of the pressure exerted on the branch 12, the roller 18 causes the shaft 17 and its extension, branch 11, to push towards the splitting chute 6.
  • the sawing process is completed i.e. the block 2' has separated, only a small motion is needed to move the block 2' to the splitting chute. Consequently, the whole process is automated and also fast due to steps occurring simultaneously.
  • the arrangement that uses the roller 18 is not the only way to produce the movement in question. For example slip surfaces or joints can be used to aid the process.

Claims (6)

  1. Brennholzverarbeitungsanlage (1), die zum Schneiden und Spalten eines Scheits zu verwenden ist und ein Sägemittel (8) zum Schneiden des Scheits (2) und einen Spalttisch (6) umfasst, der Mittel (4, 5, 7) zum Spalten eines abgeschnittenen Holzstücks durch dessen Schieben gegen eine Spaltklinge (7) besitzt, wobei die Verarbeitungsanlage (1) eine gesonderte Erweiterung (9) für einen Spalttisch (3) umfasst, um den abgeschnittenen Holzklotz (2') auf den Spalttisch zu bewegen, wobei die Spalttischerweiterung (9) Halteschenkel (11, 12) umfasst, gekennzeichnet durch eine Erweiterungswelle (17), deren freies Ende durch eine Gelenkverbindung (15) mit einer Rahmenstruktur der Verarbeitungsanlage (1) verbunden wurde, und wobei einer (12) der Halteschenkel (11, 12) mit einem Gelenk (13) fest an der Rahmenstruktur der Verarbeitungsanlage angebracht ist, sodass das Drehen der Erweiterungswelle (17) hin zu dem Spalttisch (6) den Schenkel (12) dazu bringt, dem abgeschnittenen Holzklotz (2') die Stützung zu entziehen, und ermöglicht, dass der Klotz (2') sich auf den Spalttisch (6) bewegt.
  2. Brennholzverarbeitungsanlage nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass auch das Sägemittel (8) über eine Welle (10), die um ein Gelenk (16) drehbar ist, an der Rahmenstruktur der Verarbeitungsanlage angebracht wurde.
  3. Brennholzverarbeitungsanlage nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Erweiterung des Schneidbretts (9) von einer Art ist, die sich um die Längsachse des durchsägten Scheits (2) dreht bzw. über diese Längsachse kippt.
