Abstract

An auxiliary device for stacking lengths of firewood logs in oven-ready lengths and subsequent loading, or filling in transport vehicles or containers. It is equipped with a bottom flap and has several direct coupling possibilities on machines such as tractor front loaders, tractors, stackers, telescopic loaders, etc.

Description

The invention relates to an auxiliary device for stacking cut to length of firewood on oven-ready pieces and subsequent loading.

Firewood is predominantly made by using the long logs of e.g. 1 meter long with a circular saw to be sawed on ready-to-use pieces. This usually means a lot of manual work and is therefore time consuming and involves a certain risk of injury. The subsequent loading in transport vehicles or containers means some time.

Meanwhile, there are also complex machines for the production of oven-ready pieces of firewood, but these are very costly. Also, a complex device for the front loader cultivation is already known, this is due to the high cost even for very large annual amounts profitable.

The object of the invention is to provide a cheap device. This usually requires existing equipment such as chainsaws and tractors with front loaders or forklifts in agricultural and forestry operations. So that can quickly produce large quantities of oven-ready firewood and then immediately be loaded.

This is achieved according to the invention with the device described in claim 1.

The device according to the invention has a coupling region for attachment to carrier machines. This is preferably geared for agricultural and forestry operations. By default, a coupling is provided for attachment to tractor front loader, a Euro recording coupling, this can also for any other type of coupling such. System Hauer be executed. The coupling region is preferably also equipped with coupling for the tractor-three-point attachment. Furthermore, it is preferably coupled to pallet forks such as e.g. equipped with forklifts and telescopic loaders.

The wood cutting room is standardly intended for a 1 rm3 firewood, this usable space can also be chosen larger or smaller. The width of the wood cutting room is usefully chosen according to the intended Sägemittel.

The entire wood cutting area is designed as free of iron as possible, preferably completely in wood. To protect the cutting edges of the chain saw chains, or similar cutting tools.

Everything else is solid, since the exposed position at front loader cultivation it should withstand any collisions.

The side walls of the wood cutting room are provided with cutting slots. In the intervals as the finished firewood lengths should be. By default, the slit is currently 25 cm, 33 cm and 50 cm apart, so there is a cutting slit at 25 cm, 33 cm, 50 cm, 66 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm. Of course, this can also be chosen differently.

Depending on the desired length, the wood is cut through in batches in the proposed cutting slots. This is done according to the invention by a chainsaw or other appropriate equipment such as e.g. Electric saws. It makes sense to do this mostly from left and right, so both sides of the device are provided with cutting slots.

The back of the cutting room is closed to protect against possible falling pieces of wood and at the same time very translucent designed so that there is a clear view of the entire wood cutting room. For example through a tight-meshed iron wire fence.

In order to have as little as possible sawdust in the finished load, the device is designed so that it drops these chips as possible before. Specifically, the pair of folding bottom is made finger-like. Where the cutting slots in the side walls are, the folding floor is kept free, so that the sawdust fall through immediately. Where there is no cutting slot on the side walls, so are preferably woods that form the pair of folding floor.

The floor is foldable and thus allows a quick loading of the entire woodcut room content. When mounted on tractor front loader, forklift, or the like can thus be loaded directly about as a tractor or truck.

The folding floor is preferably hydraulically operated, as this is common to most agricultural machines. Of course, the operation can also be done differently e.g. pneumatic or electric. For the possible direct filling of e.g. Big bag or other transport containers, are provided at the bottom hooking or screwing.

The invention is explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In each case show schematically

Figure 1 is a rear view, the coupling region and thus the e.g. Tractor facing side, with indicated open hinged floor.

Figure 2 shows the side view with the cutting slots.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the paired executed folding bottom.

Figure 4 shows the view of vome, the area where the logs are hineingsseichtet, with indicated open hinged floor.

In the figures, the cutting-friendly components are each shown striped, preferably executed in wood.

In Figures 1 and 2, the coupling regions are visible. In the drawing, the coupling was selected for the tractor frontloader Euro-Aufnahme, other systems such. System hewers are just as possible. Visible through the hooks 1 and eyelets 2. Furthermore, the coupling region for the tractor-three-point attachment can be seen, for the two lower links 3 and the top link 4. For coupling with pallet forks such. in trucks are correspondingly long openings 5 on the support frame.

In Figures 1, 2 and 4, the hooks 6 are for e.g. Big Bag can be seen or screw holes for extended hooks to install.

In Figure 1, the actuation of the hinged floor is shown hydraulically 7. In Figures 1 and 4, the open hinged floor, which is fastened with hinges on the support frame indicated indicated 8.

In Figure 1 and 2 is the area of the protective grid 9 on the one hand, the tractor side falling out of wood pieces prevented and on the other hand offers a view into the wood cutting room.

FIG. 2 shows the wood side wall 10 with the cutting slots 11. For the representation 25 cm, 33 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm were chosen. Through these slots, with the e.g. Cut the chainsaw and cut the firewood in batches. Depending on the desired length, the corresponding slots are used for 25 cm, 33 cm or 50 cm distances and thus cut to length quickly.

The paired folding bottom 13 can be seen in FIG. This is executed finger-like, the cutting slots 11 are free to fall through as many sawdust immediately and thus are less in the finished cut.

The filled with logs cargo space 12 can be seen in Figure 4.
