Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a glue distributor assembly, associable to the edgebanding machine, and a method to carry out panel edgebanding.
  • Wood panels, solid wood or derivatives thereof, for example chipboard or also plastic material, are used to manufature furnitures, shelving units, shelves and they are generally manufactured with two opposed flat faces and with an edge which is perpendicular to faces.
  • the two faces of the raw panels are covered with a foil of ennobled material in suitable processing centers, in order to obtain the desired surface finishing and appearance, wherein such foils can have various colors, appearance, finishing and finishings.
  • the edgebanding machines has the function of applying a tape finishing element on the panel edge under processing, such that to ennobling also the panel edge.
  • the tape finishing element can also be defined as profile, listel or strip, and it is commonly made of synthetic material.
  • the tape finishing element will be named profile, or finishing profile, or edge profile.
  • the finishing profiles are glued on the corresponding panel edge, remaining raw after the ennobling of the two faces of the panel.
  • the finishing profile is usually applied as protruding: the profile has a width higher than the one of the panel board to which it is glued, in order to be sure to obtain a perfect covering of the edge and, in general, of the panel.
  • the splicing is an operation through which the finishing profile is cut to the same length of the panel board; the subsequent trimming operation involves the removal of the higher and lower portions of the finishing profile transversally protruding from the panel edge, beyond the faces.
  • the splicing and the trimming are respectively carried out by specific splicing and trimming assembly, respectively; the first moving for a certain period of time together with the panel under processing, i.e. they move jointly to the panels for the time necessary to cut the part of the finishing profile exceeding in length, the second being stationary and carrying out the trimming taking advantage of the panel movement advancing in the edgebanding machine.
  • the panel thus processed is then finished with the removal of processing waste and residues, by scrapers and brushes.
  • edgebanding machine will be equipped with molded tools in a substantially complementary way with respect to the panel edge.
  • edgebanding machine or components thereof: EP 1997597 , EP 2251165 , EP 2062706 , EP 2052822 , EP 1785243 , EP 1588812 , EP 1464470 , EP 0945235 , EP1260277 .
  • An object of the present invention is a glue distributor assembly, or more simply a distributor assembly, intended to be installed on a edgebanding machine in order to allow a precise and effective glue application on the panel edge to be ennobled with the finishing profile, and / or in order to allow the precise and effective glue application on the same profile.
  • a typical distributor assembly comprises a contacting roll, generally metallic and knurled, configurable to roll on the panel edge, or on the finishing profile, and releasing a glue amount on the related surface, which is sufficient to guarantee the right fastening of the profile on the panel edge.
  • the contacting roll is motorized and the related rotation axis is maintained parallel to the surface of the panel edge under processing, or the surface of the finishing profile to be glued.
  • the distributor assembly further comprises a heated tank, since the glue commonly used is of the thermal fuse polyurethane-type (PU, PUR, HMPUR), i.e. a glue with a relatively high melting temperature, usually included between 100°C and 140°C, which is to be hot-applied, being liquid, and cross-linking by reaction of isocyanate groups with the air humidity resulting in three-dimensional polyethers and / or polyurethane polyesters, comprising ureic bonds.
  • glues containing ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)-based thermoplastic resins are used, the latter also being hot-applied.
  • At least one squeegee is arranged adjacent to the contacting roll, or a blade or a distributing blade-function element which together with the contacting roll defines the useful section for the glue passage towards the panel edge under processing.
  • the glue is suitably distributed from the related container to the contacting roll surface, and then being distributed on the panel edge or on the finishing profile, before these two elements are pressed against one another in the edgebanding machine.
  • the thickness of the glue layer deposited on the panel edge depends, as anticipated above, on the interstice defined between the squeegee, or the squeegees when more than one, and the contacting roll. Such thickness is adjustable, involving the possibility to adjust, i.e. precisely adjusting the position of the squeegee or squeegees with respect to the contacting roll.
  • a first limit relates to the maintenance of glue distributor assemblies.
  • the cleaning of the contacting roll is complex, since it is not easy when the distributor assembly is assembled on the edgebanding machine, and a complete disassembly of the distributor assembly, i.e. its removal from the edgebanding machine and disassembly, is often necessary to obtain a deep cleaning.
  • the disassembly of the distributor assembly requires a machine downtown, during which the edgebanding machine cannot operate.
  • a second limit consists in that, the glue firstly contained in the related tank, and then fed to the contacting roll, can be homogeneous: due to the fact that the temperature distribution between the inner surface of the tank, the outer surface of the contacting roll and the squeegee outer surface can be uniform, over the time the glue can have a different viscosity between one point and another of the distributor assembly and, in the worst case, clumps can be formed or it can locally crosslink.
  • a third limit consists in that, the squeegees can damage the contacting roll surface when, during the maintenance operation, are brought to limit stop, in the position of minimum distance from the contacting roll. This case can be critical, since the squeegees can contact the surface of the contacting roll and damaging it if applied with high pressure.
  • there is a persistent need to nullify the glue passage section i.e. there is the need for the user, during some operations of maintenance or testing, or fine-tuning of the edgebanding machine, to use the squeegees as barrier to completely intercept the glue passage and preventing the glue to reach the panel.
  • a forth limit relates to the thickness variability of panels to be edgebanded and, accordingly, the finishing profiles height: based on the production batch, the panels can have an higher or lower thickness, or can change the height of the panel edge, for example 1.5 cm for a batch and 2 cm for another batch.
  • the known distributor assemblies showed to be not very versatile, i.e. not very adaptable, resulting in that, glue distribution is often not optimal, with a dispersion beyond the panel edge, on the related faces, or with an insufficient distribution on the panel edge.
  • the results are the excessive fouling of panel faces, and in the second case the consequence is that the adhesion of the finishing profile to the corresponding panel edge is not perfect.
  • a fifth limit consists is the tendency of the knurled contacting roll tends to hold wood particles detaching from the edge during panel edgebanding.
  • the reason of such phenomenon is mostly due to the double knurling of the contacting roll, right and left, and it defines small rhomboid recesses in which over time, i.e. with the increasing number of edgebanded panels, the accumulated detached particles, are incorporated into the glue and thus affecting the contacting roll.
  • a first object of the present invention is to provide a glue distributor assembly which simply and effectively the limits of the solutions today available.
  • a first aspect of the present invention relates to a glue distributor assembly according to claim 1, for edgebanding machine.
  • the distributor assembly comprises a body provided with a melted glue collecting chamber, and a contacting roll, pivotally supported on the body.
  • the collecting chamber of the melted glue can be defined within the body, or it can be external to the body and constrainable to it, such as an outer tank.
  • the outer surface of the contacting roll is intended for rolling on a panel edge to be edgebanded, or on a panel finishing profile, to distribute the melted glue collected from the collecting chamber and allowing panels ennoblement.
  • the contacting roll is hollow and delimits an inner volume which is connected to the collecting chamber and in use it is crossed by the melted glue.
  • the contacting roll has not only the function of distributing the melted glue on the panel edge to be edgebanded, or on the finishing profiles, also being part of a slow circuit of the melted glue, and this feature allows to uniformed temperature distribution in the distributor assembly.
  • the melted glue in a specific distributor assembly circuit allows to solve the second drawback described with specific reference to the known solutions, that allows to avoid non-uniformity in the melted glue mass, in particular temperature non-uniformity.
  • This result allows to limit or completely preventing clumps formation in the glue, or the crosslinking in glue. Therefore, the proposed solution provides an improvement in the distributor assembly operation, which provides an improved gluing quality, reduced cleaning of the distributor assembly and, accordingly, reduced downtimes of the edgebanding machine.
  • the glue collecting chamber is external to the body, it is connected to the flowing circuit through at least a specific connection; alternatively, and preferably, the collecting chamber is directly defined within the distributor assembly body.
  • the role of the inner volume of the contacting roll is not limited to the passage of the glue: in the preferred embodiment, the melted glue is subjected to a mixing within the contacting roll, continuous or according to time intervals.
  • the inner volume of the contacting roll is configurable as a mixing chamber of the melted glue, arranged in fluid communication with the collecting chamber within the body.
  • the mixing of the melted glue within the contacting roll can be obtained through several modes.
  • a first mode involves making, above the inner surface, one or more projections, or ribs, so that after the rotation of the contacting roll on their rotation axis the projections, or ribs, provide a thrust on the melted glue, along the contacting roll.

  • the pivots are preferably provided with at least a radial opening allowing the passage of the glue from the inner volume of the contacting roll, i.e. from the mixing chamber, to the collecting chamber, and vice versa.
