BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Veneer peeling technology is a critical process in the wood processing industry, involving the conversion of logs into thin sheets of wood, commonly known as veneers. These veneers are essential components in the manufacture of plywood, laminated panels, and other wood-based products. The quality and efficiency of veneer production significantly impact the final products' structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Traditional veneer peeling machines have been widely used in the industry, but they are often limited by inefficiencies in torque control, noise generation, material wastage, and precision in veneer thickness. The present invention addresses these limitations by introducing an advanced chain-driven veneer spindle peeling machine.
[0004] Traditional Veneer Peeling Machines
[0005] Traditional veneer peeling machines typically utilize a spindle mechanism to hold and rotate the log while a knife slices thin layers of wood from the log's surface. These machines face several challenges that impact their performance and the quality of the produced veneers:
[0006] Torque and Ratio Control: Traditional machines often struggle with maintaining consistent torque and ratio control, leading to inefficient power transmission and uneven veneer thickness.
[0007] Operational Noise: The mechanical components in conventional machines generate significant noise during operation, creating an unfavorable working environment.
[0008] Material Wastage: Inefficient power management and imprecise control mechanisms contribute to material wastage, as logs are not fully utilized, and veneers are often produced with inconsistent thickness.
[0009] Precision in Veneer Thickness: Maintaining a consistent veneer thickness is crucial for high-quality production. Traditional machines often lack the advanced control systems necessary to achieve the desired precision, resulting in variability in veneer thickness.
[0010] Mechanical Brakes and Clutch Systems
[0011] Mechanical brakes and clutch systems are commonly used in traditional veneer peeling machines to control the engagement and disengagement of power. These systems manage the start and stop operations of the machine, impacting material usage and operational efficiency. However, they have significant drawbacks:
[0012] Slow Response Time: Mechanical systems typically have slower response times, leading to delays in power engagement and disengagement. This results in increased material wastage and reduced operational efficiency.
[0013] Wear and Tear: Mechanical brakes and clutches are subject to wear and tear, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement to ensure optimal performance.
[0014] Inconsistent Control: These systems often provide inconsistent control over the peeling process, leading to variability in veneer thickness and quality.
[0015] Log Stabilization Technologies
[0016] Stabilizing the log during the peeling process is crucial for producing high-quality veneers. Traditional machines use various technologies to support and stabilize logs, especially when dealing with logs of varying diameters. Common approaches include:
[0017] Fixed Roller Guides: Fixed roller guides are used to support the log and control vibrations. However, they are often insufficient for stabilizing logs with decreasing diameters, leading to inconsistent veneer production.
[0018] Hydraulic Supports: Some machines employ hydraulic supports to stabilize logs. While effective, these systems can be complex and costly to maintain, and they may not provide the necessary stability for logs with significant diameter variations.
[0019] Manual Adjustments: Operators often rely on manual adjustments to stabilize logs and maintain consistent veneer thickness. This approach is labor-intensive and prone to human error, resulting in variability in veneer quality.

a 'C' Technology system (108) designed to maintain the knife center at any log diameter, in conjunction with a Tangent Technology system to minimize lathe chucks on the veneer.
2. The machine of claim 1, wherein the 'C' Technology (108) and Tangent Technology (110) collectively control the center line of the knife for any log diameter.
3. The machine of claim 1, further comprising a steel bar tangent technology system (112) to maintain the thickness gap setting for veneer through pneumatic control and a manual handle lever.
4. The machine of claim 1, further comprising:
a hydraulic moving tangent wood log roller technology system (116), including three sets of roller guides (118) to support weak wooden logs and control log vibration as the log diameter decreases from maximum to minimum.
5. The machine of claim 1, further comprising:
a screw and gear technology system (114) (114) with two screws or helical 45° gears, integrated with 'C' Center Technology and an Auto Tangent System, maintaining consistent friction of the knife contact area throughout the log diameter, from larger to smaller.
6. The machine of claim 6, wherein the screw and gear technology system (114) ensure optimal machine performance by maintaining consistent knife contact area friction, providing superior results.
7. The machine of claim 1, further comprising:
a control system integrating mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components to ensure precise control over veneer thickness and spindle operation.
8. The machine of claim 1, wherein the pneumatic disk clutch and brake system (106) is configured to rapidly engage and disengage the main power source, reducing material wastage and enhancing operational efficiency.
9. The machine of claim 1, wherein the hydraulic moving tangent wood log roller technology (116) can be activated or deactivated based on the diameter of the log being processed.
10. The machine of claim 1, further comprising:
a safety mechanism to automatically shut down the machine in case of excessive vibration or abnormal operation, protecting both the machine and the operators.
