"改进五层侧压式热压机结构设计：降低成本提高效率"

The multi-layered hot press is a key equipment used in the production of plywood, shaving board, medium-density fiberboard, and other engineered wood products. Currently, most manufacturers have already established a basic design for the hot press equipment. However, in order to improve the structural performance and reduce manufacturing costs, this study focused on the design of a five-layer side-pressure hot press machine. Specifically, the design and analysis of the crucial component, the lower platen, were conducted to enhance its structural integrity, strength, and stiffness. By optimizing the design of the lower platen, material and energy consumption were reduced while productivity was increased. The design of the hot press machine integrated existing design concepts while meeting specific requirements. The overall frame of the hot press machine primarily adopted a welded closed steel plate structure, which facilitated manufacturing without the need for large-scale machining equipment. Common materials such as I-beams and angle steels were mainly used in the construction, and the manufacturing process involved steel plate welding, ensuring good production feasibility that could be easily implemented by most mechanical factories. CAD and Pro/E engineering drawing software were utilized in the design process, with Pro/E software employed for stress analysis. In conclusion, the design and analysis of the five-layer side-pressure hot press machine aimed to enhance structural performance and reduce manufacturing costs. By optimizing the design of the lower platen and utilizing common materials and welding techniques, the production feasibility of the hot press machine was improved. The integration of CAD and Pro/E software also enabled effective design and stress analysis. This study contributes to the advancement of the design and manufacturing of hot press machines for engineered wood product production.
