Abstract:

Objective: Small-diameter log is integrated by half-sectional finger joint process in order to improve its recovery. Methods: The mathematical model of the ideal log and log integrated by half-sectional figure joint was established, respectively. The slab was cut to process finger-joint when the central angle was set as 60°. Additionally, the volumes of log, slab and finger joint section were calculated to obtain the effective volume of small-diameter log. Logs with diameters of 120-190 mm were chosen. The long-diameter and short-diameter of 5 groups of small-diameter log were measured, and their recoveries were calculated. Results: The recovery of finger-joint log increased with an increasing diameter. When the diameter of log was 190 mm, according to the mathematical model of the ideal log, the volume of log was 32 022.51 mm3; according to the mathematical model of the slab, the removal volume was 966.46 mm3; according to the mathematical model of the finger joint, the removal volume was 3 907.93 mm3. According to the above data, the recovery of log was 84.78% and reached to the maximum. Conclusion: Half-sectional finger joint process could improve the recovery of small-diameter log. The established mathematical model of the ideal log, the mathematical model of log integrated by half-sectional figure joint and the corresponding formula could provide theoretical bases for correlational studies. The recovery of log would be larger with an increasing diameter, which could provide references for actual selection of logs.
