SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF REDUCING THE INFLUENCE OF LATERAL FORCE ON THE SAW BLADE STABILITY
Journal Title: Lesnoy Zhurnal (Russian Forestry Journal) - Year 2020, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The accuracy of the thickness of lumber is one of the most important indicators of sawing. It is inextricably linked with saw stabilization in the plane of the greatest stiffness. The aim of the study is to eliminate the influence of lateral force on the saw blade and the thickness of the resulting lumber. The issue of eliminating the influence of lateral force in frame sawing and sawing on band saws belongs to the constructive decision in combination with the analytical one according to classical methods. Therefore, the most important issue in the development of a new machine is to identify the presence of a huge range of frequencies of natural and parametric oscillations of saw blades. Previously, these frequencies could not be analytically found to the full extent and, respectively, the tuning out the machine operating frequencies of the possible oscillation frequencies of saw blades could not be carried out. Due to the complexity and the science intensity of the problem solving, it is not conceivable without modern numerical methods of calculation. Among them are the finite element method, modern software of NX and ANSYS, as well as other original programs. One of such methods, which allow to reduce the influence of lateral force, is determination of stability of the plane form of bending by the Eulerʼs method. The technical solution presented by a fundamentally new saw block with a circular translational motion of the blades reduce dramatically the impact of lateral force on the accuracy of sawing in conjunction with a number of other advantages. At the same time, the issue of ensuring the dynamic stability of the blades both when sawing and at idling speed is solved. It is necessary to point out that with circular translational motion the tooth side cutting edges are under alternating load when scraping over the cut surface. Therefore, the tooth cutting element is a subject of increased strength requirements. The angles of their sharpening were adjusted in order to preserve the integrity of the corners of the teeth tips. The possibility of strengthening the teeth lateral cutting edges of saw blades made of steels of different grades was investigated. The reasons of wear and corrosion, both the elements of the saw module and its operating part (blade teeth) were studied and it was decided to supply the teeth with a hard alloy of the stellite type as the most optimal. However, this provision requires additional targeted field tests. Preliminary calculations showed that the daily productivity of a machine with circular translational motion of the blades (model M2005) in comparison with saw frames increases by 2–4 times; in comparison with band saw equipment of any class by 3–6 times; and in comparison with the circular saw equipment (for small and medium enterprises) by 2–4 times. Analyzing the design scheme and the dynamics of the saw modules, it is possible to find a number of advantages of the multi-saw unit presented as part of the machine. The simplicity and reliability of the design allows us to hope for high functional characteristics. Among those we should highlight the following: increasing the accuracy of sawn products due to the rigidity of short blades, increasing the productivity, improving the quality of treated surfaces, as well as reducing the energy consumption, relatively light weight and dynamic balance of the main units with increased mobility of equipment and the absence of a massive foundation.
