Description

The invention relates to a press section of a machine for producing a paper, cardboard, tissue or other fibrous web with a pressing device comprising a press shoe comprising a shoe press roll and, with this a press nip forming counter roll, wherein on the shoe press roll a roll shell of end caps on the press shoe is led around.

Such a press section is for example from the EP-A-0 389 675 known.

From the DE 100 22 087 A1 For example, a press section for a paper machine is known, which has two press points, each formed by a press roll cooperating with a shoe press roll. A first upper felt, the paper web coming from a forming wire, an underfelt and a press jacket of a first shoe press roll pass through the first press point. The underfelt continues with the paper web to the second press site. Together with a second top felt and a press jacket of a second press site, the paper web then passes through the second press site. The paper web follows the underfelt further up to a take-off roll, through which it is transferred to a first dryer wire which transfers the paper web to the dryer section.

In known shoe press rolls in the interaction with a counter roll, the problem is that the roll shell, which is guided around the circumference of the shoe press roll by rotating end caps around the press shoe inside the shoe press roll, during the rotational movement wears heavily. The main cause of this high wear is that the press shoe against the outer contour of the shoe press roll is set back pretty strong, so that the shell is deformed differently in its edge region in the passage of the press shoe area, since he rigidly on a circular path through the End disk is guided, on the other hand is pressed by the counter-roller in the shoe contour. In the transition region between the sides of the press shoe and the side walls, it is therefore alternately stretched and compressed.

In one embodiment of a pressing device according to the prior art, for example, a shoe press roll 1 ( Fig. 1a ) provided with a rotating jacket 2 and a fixed press shoe 3. This forms together with a counter-roller 4 a press nip, through which the fibrous web is passed in the direction of an arrow P to withdraw their water. In Fig. 1a the shoe press roll 1 and the counter roll 4 are shown in the operating position in cross section.

The press shoe 3 is opposite the contour formed by the jacket 2 in the remaining area of the shoe press roll 1 at a position A at its front edge by an amount y _A and at positions designated B, C and D respectively by amounts y _B , y _C and y _{D set back} relative to the circular contour of the shoe press roll 1, ie, the press shoe 3 is set back over its entire length in the web running direction relative to the circular contour formed by the end disks. As a result, a distance s (extending in the axial direction of the shoe press roll 1) Fig. 1b ) between the outer lateral edge of the press shoe 3 in the axial direction, ie a shoe land level 5, and the inner edge of a rotating side cover of the shoe press roll, ie the end cover plane 6, a bending of the shell 2 corresponding to the bending lines I _A , I _B , I _C and I _D takes place. Corresponding to the fact that the contour of the press shoe 3 toward the center is stronger than that predetermined by the end covers and in Fig. 1a 7, the bending lines I _B and I _{C are} more inclined than the bending lines I _A and I _D , which correspond to the position at the front edge and in the vicinity of the rear end of the press shoe 3 (viewed in the running direction).

Thus, it can be seen that the edge region of the shell of the shoe press roll is deformed differently when passing through the area of the press shoe, since it is rigidly guided on a circular path through the face plate on the one hand, on the other hand pushed by the counter roll in the facing this shoe contour. The deformation and the stresses resulting therefrom in the roll shell result in alternating stresses which limit the life of the shell and reduce it especially with increasing paper machine speeds.

It is the object of the invention to improve the known press section in such a way that the wear and the alternating stress of the roll mantle are reduced.

According to the invention this object is achieved in a press section of the type mentioned by the features of claim 1.

Due to the fact that the lateral spacing of the end cover of the shoe press roll from the press shoe in the axial direction is at least 300 mm, in particular 330 mm or more, the load on the roll shell is reduced as a result of the deflection or deformation when passing through the press shoe, since the expansion or stress in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shoe press roll distributed over a greater length of the roll shell.

Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims, the description and the drawings.

The press shoe is preferably set back with its front end and / or with its rear end with a closed press nip at most 5 mm in relation to the circular contour of the roll mantle corresponding to the contour of the end cover.

By this measure, the deflection or deformation of the roll shell is greatly reduced. This applies regardless of the length of the press shoe in the machine direction. In a press shoe with a long length, of more than 300 mm, as used for example for producing wood-free paper, for example cardboard and packaging paper, in order to produce a broad press nip, so that there is no such strong surface pressure and the volume of the paper is not reduced too much to use the invention with advantage. The press section is formed in this case, for example by a tandem Nipcoflex press with two press nips and can also be used at higher operating speeds according to the invention.

It is particularly advantageous if the press shoe extends beyond the circular contour by up to 50 mm at its front and / or rear end.

In order to achieve a good dewatering of the fibrous web, the press shoe in the web running direction of the fibrous web has a length of 300 mm or more, in particular of more than 350 mm, in particular of more than 400 mm.

The effect of the length of the press shoe on the deflection or deformation of the roll shell is also reduced by the fact that the largest possible diameter of the shoe press roll and the counterpressure roll are used in relation to the length of the press shoe in the web running direction. The ratio of the diameter of the shoe press roll to the length of the press shoe in the direction of rotation is 4.0 or more, and the ratio of the diameter of the backing roll to the length of the press shoe is 3.9 or more. According to the invention, such a ratio can generally be used in press devices in a machine for producing a fibrous web.

gegeben ist, wobei y₁ (s. Fig. 1a) das Eindrückmaß an der Auflaufstelle (z. B. Abschnitt A in Fig. 2a; hier wird der Mantel der Presswalze zum ersten Mal zwischen dem Pressschuh und der Gegenwalze geklemmt; d. h. die Spannungen können sich nicht mehr durch Verschiebungen abbauen; y₁ ist die kleinste Abweichung.) den Wert des maximalen Überstands oder der Zurücksetzung des Pressschuhs an seinem Einlauf oder an seinem Auslauf gegenüber der Kreiskontur der Schuhpresswalze bezeichnet, wobei y₂ den Wert bezeichnet, um den der Pressschuh in seinem mittleren Bereich gegenüber der Kreiskontur der Schuhpresswalze zurückgesetzt ist (maximales Eindrückmaß) und wobei s den jeweiligen seitlichen Abstand der Stirndeckel von dem Pressschuh in axialer Richtung bezeichnet und dass der Wert (K₃) weniger als 1,07, insbesondere weniger als 1,02, ganz insbesondere weniger als 1,007, beträgt.Advantageously, a pressing device is used, in which the measure of the elongation of the roll shell of the shoe press roll due to the projecting from the lateral surface press shoe (K ₃ ) by the value $${\mathrm{K}}_{}$$$${\mathrm{}}_{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{=}\left(\mathrm{1}\mathrm{+}{\left({\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="y"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">y</figure-callout>}}_{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{/}\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="s"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">s</figure-callout>}\right)}^{\mathrm{2}}\right)\mathrm{/}\left(\mathrm{1}\mathrm{+}{\left({\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{1}}\mathrm{/}\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="s"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">s</figure-callout>}\right)}^{\mathrm{2}}\right)$$

is given, where y ₁ (s. Fig. 1a ) the insertion dimension at the contact point (eg section A in Fig. 2a ; Here, the jacket of the press roll is clamped for the first time between the press shoe and the counter roll; ie the tensions can no longer be reduced by shifts; y ₁ is the smallest deviation) denotes the value of the maximum protrusion or the resetting of the press shoe at its inlet or at its outlet relative to the circular contour of the shoe press roll, wherein y ₂ denotes the value by which the press shoe in its central region relative to the circular contour the shoe press roll is set back (maximum insertion dimension) and where s denotes the respective lateral spacing of the end cover from the press shoe in the axial direction and that the value (K ₃ ) is less than 1.07, in particular less than 1.02, very particularly less than 1.007 , is.

Advantageously, a support strip is used within the shoe press roll in the direction of rotation in front of the press shoe, which preferably extends over the entire width of the shoe press roll.

With a larger shift R in the direction of the interior of the shoe press roll or even when the press shoe protrudes from the cylindrical contour of the shoe press roll, there is a risk that the lubricating film between the shell and the shoe press roll - with unchanged shoe shape - reduced or even squeezed , It is therefore proposed in a further measure provided according to the invention, to support the lubricating effect that measures for forced lubrication in the shoe are performed at the inlet region, for. B. through small holes that are distributed over the width of the press shoe. By this measure, the friction between the press shoe and the roll shell can be significantly reduced.

There are several ways to apply an oil film; one possibility is that the means for application in front of the press shoe, in particular on a arranged in the direction of the press shoe support strip, is arranged.

Preferably, the press shoe on the inlet side is provided with a bead, in which the means, in particular in the form of arranged over the entire width of the press shoe holes, is integrated. The oil lines may preferably end in lubrication pockets or communicate with protrusions in the interior of the press shoe in which the oil collects.

To reduce the friction and to promote the formation of an oil film between the inside of the roll shell and the press shoe, it also serves when the inlet-side contour forms a convergent wedge between the lateral surface of the roll shell and the inlet side, the shell-facing surface of the press shoe. This can be achieved in that the inlet-side wedge is formed by a radius of curvature of the inlet-side bead, which reduces in the direction of the lateral surface of the roller shell, so that the shoe inlet surface has, for example, two different radii of curvature.

The diameter of the counter roll is preferably at least 0.975 times the diameter of the shoe press roll. This has for example a diameter of 1200 mm. The counter roll in this case has at least a diameter of 1170 mm.

In a shoe press roll 10 ( Fig. 2a ) is a press shoe 11 with an inlet-side bead 12 arranged such that the bead 12 via a fictitious in the area of the press shoe 11 circular contour 13, the contour of a roll shell 14 entraining (not shown here) end plates of the shoe press roll 10 protrudes (position A) (this is in Fig. 2b defined as negative direction y), while the press shoe 11 is set back in its central region (positions B and C) and at its outlet end (position D) with respect to the contour of the roll mantle 14 (positive y values for the positions B, C, D). Here, A is the beginning of the press nip.

On the whole, this means that a counter-roller 15 cooperating with the shoe press roll 10 to form the press nip takes place in comparison with the press apparatus known from the prior art (US Pat. Fig. 1a ) presses the roll shell 14 less strongly than in the prior art, the roll shell 2 is pressed by the counter-roller 4.

Compared to the prior art, the distance between the centers of the shoe press roll 10 and the counter roll 15 by an amount R ₁ (ie, the in Fig. 2a shown displacement) in the radial direction R to reduce the jacket indentation. By the points designated A, B, C and D, the run of the roll mantle 14 at the press shoe edge of the press shoe 11 is characterized. The illustration shows the deformation of the roll mantle 14 over the region between the side edge 16 of the press shoe 11 and the inner edge 17 of the end disk in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shoe press roll 10 by amounts y _A , y _B , y _C and y _D, respectively. Overall, compared to the Fig. 1b shown deformations according to the prior art much lower deformations according to the invention. At position A, the roll shell has a negative offset (outward), while at positions B, C, and D, it has a positive offset negative deformation (inward) relative to the circular contour of the faceplate.

The shoe press roll 10 is mounted substantially above the counter roll 15. Compared to the vertical their center is usually offset by an amount e relative to the center of the counter-roller 15.

In another shoe press roll 20 ( Fig. 3a ) protrudes a press shoe 21 at its front end (position A) as the press shoe 11 out of the circular contour 13, while the press shoe 21 at its rear end (position D) coincides with the position of the circular contour 13, which means that one on the Shoe press roll 20 guided roll shell 22 is no longer stretched at this point.

In Fig. 3b It is shown how between the edge 23 of the press shoe 21 and the inner edge 24, an elongation of the roll shell 22 over the existing between the edge 23 and the inner edge 24 distance s, wherein z _A , Z _B , Z _C and Z _D respectively Designate offset of the press shoe 21 relative to the circular contour 13. If the distance between the edges 23 and 24 is doubled to the amount of 2 s (at a distance between the edge 23 and an edge 24 '), the stretch of the roll mantle 22 will be distributed twice as long, and therefore will experience only one about half as much stretching or bending. For the purposes of the invention, therefore, the aim is to choose the distance between the edge of the press shoe and the inner edge of the end disk as large as possible.

To reduce the surface pressure between the press shoe 11 and the roll shell 14 according to Fig. 2a (or the roll shell 22 according to Fig. 3a ) is in one embodiment of the invention ( Fig. 4 ) provided that the input-side bead 12 of the press shoe 11 forms a convergent wedge between the roll shell 14 and the shoe inlet surface. This prevents the squeezing of the oil film.

For this purpose, the bead radii of curvature R ₂ and R ₁ , which shrink in the direction of the roll shell 14. It is understood that the value of the radius of curvature R _{2 can} also be continuous or via a plurality of intermediate values in the radius of curvature R ₁ . In this way, a convergent inlet gap 25 is formed between the roll shell 14 and the press shoe 11. The friction between the press shoe 11 and the roll shell 14 is reduced by the use of an oil film 26 applied to the roll shell 14.

In a further embodiment ( Fig. 5 ) are provided within the input-side bead 12 of the press shoe 11 holes 27, through the oil or other lubricant in the area between the press shoe eleventh and the roll shell 14 is fed to reduce the friction. The holes 27 are arranged distributed over the entire width of the press shoe 11 and communicate with oil pressure lines, which ensure forced lubrication. The bores 27 may optionally terminate in pockets in which reservoirs for the lubricant are formed. The dashed line 14 'shows the circular contour or the course, the roll shell 14 would take without the introduced into the interior of the shoe press roll 10 press shoe 11.

In another embodiment ( Fig. 6 ) is alternatively or in addition to the embodiment according to Fig. 5 provided within the shoe press roll 10, a support bar 28 which serves to stabilize the roll shell 14. Such support strips 28 may be distributed within the shoe press roll 10 at several points over the circumference. On the support strips 28 also nozzles for spraying an oil film can be arranged on the inside of the roll shell 14. The support strip can also extend continuously over the entire width of the shoe press roll 10 in the axial direction. The support strip causes a smooth inlet of the oil film between the roll shell 14 and the press shoe 11 is achieved.

In the event that the shoe press roll is arranged below the counter-roller in a pressing device, and oil can also be sprayed by means of an oil spray pipe in the direction of the inlet of the press shoe and / or the support bar.

zu erhalten, wobei K₃ das Maß für die maximale Deformationsänderung des Walzenmantels darstellt. Es versteht sich, dass diese Werte auch anhand der Figuren 2a und 3a ermittelt werden können, lediglich aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit wurden die Werte y₁ und y₂ dort nicht eingezeichnet.In addition to the above-described extension of the shoe press roll 10 in the axial direction with a uniform press shoe 11 can be used as a further measure to reduce the elongation of the roll shell 14 at a constant shoe length and the diameter of the backing roll 15 increase. For this purpose, as in Fig. 1a shown, the indentation y ₁ and y _{2 of} the press shoe with respect to the circular contour of the shoe press roller resorted to the already introduced at the outset equation $${\mathrm{K}}_{}$$$${\mathrm{}}_{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{=}\left(\mathrm{1}\mathrm{+}{\left({\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="y"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">y</figure-callout>}}_{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{/}\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="s"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">s</figure-callout>}\right)}^{\mathrm{2}}\right)\mathrm{/}\left(\mathrm{1}\mathrm{+}{\left({\mathrm{y}}_{\mathrm{1}}\mathrm{/}\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="s"\; filenames="imgf0001.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">s</figure-callout>}\right)}^{\mathrm{2}}\right)$$

to obtain K _3, the measure of the maximum deformation change of the roll shell. It is understood that these values are also based on the FIGS. 2a and 3a can be determined, only for reasons of clarity, the values y ₁ and y ₂ were not drawn there.
