The equipment integrates three core functions: log storage, material sorting and automatic feeding, which undertakes the important task of temporarily storing logs cut by the front-end log saw, sorting them in an orderly manner and feeding them to the rounding machine one by one according to process instructions.
The overall design of the equipment follows the principles of stability, durability, compact structure and convenient operation. The frame is made of high-strength structural materials, which has strong rigidity and good load-bearing capacity, and can maintain stable operation in long-term continuous production. The equipment adopts advanced photoelectric control technology, which can accurately receive the working signals of the rounding machine, realize real-time matching of feeding rhythm and processing rhythm, ensure orderly and stable feeding, and avoid problems such as material blockage, excessive feeding or intermittent interruption.
One of the core advantages of this equipment is the automatic single-log feeding function. It can automatically complete single-log sorting and feeding after receiving signals, completely replacing the traditional manual single-log feeding mode, solving the technical problems of low manual feeding efficiency, high labor intensity and inconsistent rhythm in the industry, greatly saving labor input for enterprises, reducing labor costs, and improving the continuity and stability of the entire pretreatment process.
The equipment is equipped with a special log storage structure, which can temporarily store a certain number of logs, realize the buffering connection between the front-end sawing process and the middle-end rounding process, effectively solve the problem of inconsistent production rhythm between different equipment, and ensure that the rounding machine can maintain continuous and efficient operation without material interruption. At the same time, the equipment has a built-in material sorting mechanism, which can automatically arrange the logs in an orderly manner during the conveying process, avoid messy stacking and deviation of logs, and ensure the smooth progress of feeding and processing.
In terms of transmission system, the equipment adopts a stable and reliable transmission structure, with smooth operation, low noise and long service life. The conveying action is gentle and stable, which will not cause collision damage to the logs and ensures the integrity of the raw materials. The operation interface of the equipment is simple and intuitive, with a high degree of automation.

All wearing parts and movable components are inspected for assembly quality to ensure that they can meet the requirements of long-term continuous operation.
Secondly, the commissioning of the photoelectric control and automatic feeding system is the core link. The technicians test the signal receiving sensitivity, response speed and control accuracy of the photoelectric control system, simulate the working signal of the rounding machine, verify the accuracy and stability of the automatic single-log feeding, and ensure that the feeding action can be triggered immediately after the signal is sent, and the feeding volume and conveying speed are accurately matched with the processing rhythm of the rounding machine. Through repeated simulation tests, the control parameters are continuously optimized to ensure that the system runs reliably and does not fail to feed or misfeed.
Then, the log storage and material sorting function is tested. The technicians use logs of different specifications to conduct actual loading tests, check the storage capacity of the equipment, the smoothness of the conveying channel, the effect of the sorting mechanism, and verify whether the logs can be automatically arranged and conveyed in an orderly manner, so as to ensure that the storage and sorting functions can meet the actual production needs and avoid problems such as material accumulation and chaotic placement.
In terms of safety performance inspection, the commissioning team comprehensively tests all safety protection devices of the equipment, including the effectiveness of the emergency stop button, the reliability of the anti-pinch protection, the standardization of the safety warning signs, and the integrity of the transmission protective cover. At the same time, the electrical safety of the equipment is tested to ensure that the equipment has complete protection functions such as overload, overcurrent and phase loss, and meets international electrical safety standards to eliminate potential safety hazards.
