Abstract:
A debarking blade includes an elongate blade body having an attachment end, an opposed free end, and an arcuate concave inner edge surface extending between the opposing ends and adapted to face generally inwardly toward the rotational axis of the ring rotor. A detachable cutting tip having a cutting edge thereon is releasably mounted on the free end of the blade body for engaging and debarking a log. A detachable climbing edge insert is releasably mounted on the blade body between the attachment end and the free end. The climbing edge portion engages successive logs being fed into the debarker for deflecting the debarking blade out of the path of the logs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a barking machine which comprises a frame (1), barking rotor (2), which is rotably mounted on the frame (1) and which barking rotor comprises a rotor frame (3), barking blades (4) mounted on the rotor frame (3), and a first power unit (5) mounted on the rotor frame (3) that is connected to the barking blades (T) for transferring the barking force into them. According to the invention, in the barking rotor there is arranged an adjustment device (6) movable with respect to the rotor frame, and a second power unit (7) which is mounted on the frame (3) for transmitting the barking force via the first power unit (5) to the barking blades (4). This solution enables one to adjust the barking depth of the barking blades without stopping the barking rotor.
Abstract:
A replaceable cutting piece and a cutting arm for a debarking cutter for a debarking machine of a hollow-rotor type, which cutting piece (6) and cutting arm (4) comprise supporting surfaces and abutment surfaces for receiving loads acting on the cutting piece fastened by a retaining screw to a housing (7) formed in the cutting arm. In order to direct the loads acting on the cutting piece in full to the cutting arm instead of to the retaining screw, the cutting piece and the cutting arm comprise supporting surfaces and abutment surfaces (9a to 9d, 11a, 11b, 12a, 14a, 14b) for receiving the loads acting on the cutting piece in the direction of the axle, the radius and the tangent of the rotor and the torque caused by said loads, which surfaces are situated in perpendicular planes with respect to one another.
Abstract:
A tool for rotation ring type barking machines comprises a swinging arm which is connected at one end via a screw connection with a holder on a shaft rotatably mounted in the rotor of the machine. The holder has two elongated grooves spaced apart by an intermediate ridge and adapted to accommodate two spaced-apart beads formed on the swinging arm. The two outer lateral faces defining the grooves are sloping in cross-section and converge toward one another at an angle slightly less than a corresponding angle of convergence between the outer lateral faces defining said beads. Also the inner lateral faces of said beads and said ridge are sloping, and upon tightening of the screw connection at issue the beads are urged into the two grooves, the difference between said angles of convergence being gradually reduced toward zero until the inner bead faces come into contact with the lateral faces of the ridge, at which point the screw has been tightened with sufficient tensioning force.
Abstract:
A tool for rotation ring type barking machines comprises a curved swinging arm which is adapted to carry at a first, free end a cutting edge and which is detachably connected at its opposite end by means of a screw connection with a shaft rotatably mounted in the rotor of the machine, more particularly via a holder which is preferably made in one piece with the shaft and extends at an angle relative to said shaft. The swinging arm is displaceably movable relative to the holder and fixable by means of said screw connection in different selectable positions relative thereto, in order to permit variation of the distance between the center of the pivot shaft and the center of gravity of the swinging arm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a debarking means for rotation ring type barking machines, and of the type comprising a plurality of swinging arms (1) yieldably engaging the circumference of an unbarked log and each formed at its free end with a seat (4) for a debarking means (2) detachably mounted by means of a bolt connection (3). The debarking means has a leading edge (7) serving as a cutting edge and a trailing support edge or surface (8) adapted to engage a shoulder (5) on the seat (4) to prevent turning of said debarking means relative to the arm. The support edge (8) extends obliquely in relation to the cutting edge (7), more particularly along the entire width of the debarking means and between two side edges of said means which are of different length.
Abstract:
The scraping edge of a debarking tool carried by an arm of a rotary ring barker is located lengthwise so that at least the major portion of the length of such scraping edge is located ahead of the longitudinally central portion of the leading face of the barker arm, and the leading edge of the debarking tool remote from the rotary ring is beveled by being inclined from the leading face of the debarking tool forward away from the barker ring.
Abstract:
Arrangement for a rotor barking machine comprising a hollow rotor rotatably mounted in a frame and provided with barking arms directed towards the center of the rotor and means for feeding a tree to be barked longitudinally through the hollow rotor. A non-rotating tubular portion is provided in the opening of the hollow motor to extend from the inside of said opening close to the plane of rotation of the barking members. The annular edge of the tubular member adjacent said barking members is provided with cutting teeth. The cutting teeth tear and cut in co-operation with said barking members bark strips sticking to said barking members.
Abstract:
A cutter head for a hole-rotor type barking machine. The cutter head comprises a plane ring disc provided with a number of mutually spaced cutter blades projecting from the disc. Each cutter blade is provided with a guiding element forming a support surface. The support surfaces of the guiding elements form a conical surface coaxial with the ring disc. Each guiding element is supported by the ring disc along the entire length of the element and is preferably cut from a ring shaped blank of solid material.
