Abstract (en)
The present invention belongs to the field of working machines, more precisely to the field of wood splitters, particularly operation of a hydraulic cylinder in wood splitters. The invention relates to a wood splitter with an adjustable path of a hydraulic cylinder for optimizing the splitting cycle. The essence of the invention is in that it allows the hydraulic cylinder to be stopped in a certain point and then return to its initial position. The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a suitable sensor or a switch, which sends information about the position of the cylinder to a controller. Said sensor or switch is arranged to detect reference points provided on a sheath attached to the hydraulic cylinder and moves forwards and backwards with the cylinder. Reference points on the sheath may be holes, cat eyes, detections on steel and similar elements. The controller then with an electromagnetic hydraulic valve adjusts the path of the hydraulic cylinder based on the user's selection of the cylinder movement path, which depends on the length of the logs or resulting firewood, respectively.
