Description
~03B663 (1) Field of the Invention This invention relates to rolling machines and, more particularly, to controlled deflection rolls comprising an inner nonrotative shaft having a roll shell journaled about it, the inner shaft being automatically and controllably bent in an opposed manner to insure straightness of the outer roll shell.
(2) Description of the Prior Art Roll pressing mechanisms generally employ parallel rolls positioned 10 to form preseure nips for rolling materials between them which causes a deflection of the rolls due to forces at the nip, and due to natural forces within the rolls themselves. Other mechanisms employ rolls that are subject to deflection forces, such as those carrying a traveling belt or web. In press roll couples, and in other roll arrangements wherein a pair of rolls are in a nip defining relationship with one another, the algebraic summation of the weight, the nip forces, and the bending movements produced by the journal loading, tend to produce in each of such rolls a curvature of its centroidal axis, in accordance with known laws governing the flexure of materials under strain.
A variety of arrangements have been devised to reduce the effect of such deflection within the roll. United States patent No. 3,587,152, issued June 28, 1971 to Hold, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention, discloses a hydrostatic bearing arrangement on a nonrotative shaft having a roll shell journaled about it. The hydrostatic bearings which deflect the nonrotating shaft have the capability within limits to transmit forces between the surface of a hydrostatic plunger portion of the bearing and the inner roll shell, even if the surfaces are not axially aligned due to deflection of the inner shaft.

3,416,435, which issued December 17, 1968 to Dahl et al and 3,119,324, which issued January 28, 1964 to Justus. Some of these prior art devices are unduly complicated and none utilizes the combination and general functioning of hydrostatic bearings with counter bending of nonrotative shafts in an automatic and controlled manner, as described in the present invention.
According to the present invention, a roll shell is journaled about an extended nonrotative shaft. The shaft contains an arrangement of pistons, the outer end of each comprising a hydrostatic bearing which supports the roll shell internally. The shaft has a support arrangement beyond each end of the roll shell. A biasing member is disposed either on each end of the shaft or between the support and the end of the roll. Each biasing member is re6ponsive to signal6 generated by sensors on or within the shaft. The sensors detect forces of pressure or strain and relay the signal through a circuit arrangement to the biasing members which may then apply force to certain points on the shaft. This causes the shaft to bend about the supports and create a deflection therein to counter any deflection detected by the sensors.
This signal generation is automatic and may be in response to fluid pressure at the piston or it may be in response to strain caused by deflection of the shaft itself. ~03~663 According to a further broad aspect of the present inven-tion, there is provided a controlled deflection roll which com-prises a shaft having a support arrangement near the ends there-of. A shell roll is journaled about the shaft and a radial space is provided between the shell roll and the shaft. A pressure sensor is disposed within the shaftO A biasing arrangement is disposed near at least one end of the shaft to apply a bending moment across the shaft in response to a signal from the sensor.
At least two radially directed cylinders having a piston dis-posed therewith and spaced in the shaft. A hydrostatic bearing pad is provided on the outer end of each of the radially directed pistons facing the inside surface of the shell roll. A manifold conduit arrangement extends through the shaft from at least one end thereof for conducting pressurized fluid to the vicinity of each of the radially disposed cylinders and pads, the conduit arrangement permitting pressurized fluid to be directed to the piston and bearing arrangement against the inner surface of the shell roll to help control deflection therein.
The invention, along with the objects and advantages there-of will be best understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a shell roll, shaft, and biasing arrangement embodying the present invention in a partial vertical longitudinal section, Figure 2 is a view taken along the lines II-II in Figure 1 and Figure 3 is an alternative embodiment showing the biasing arrangements in different locations.
Referring to the drawings, and particularly to Figure 1, there is shown a controlled deflection roll 10 comprising pre-ferably a nonrotative inner shaft 12 having its opposite ends, ~ - 3 -'~:
~03~663 14 and 16, mounted by rocking bearings 18 which are each sup-ported by a first frame member 20 of a machine using the roll 10, A shell roll 22 is journaled about the shaft 12 with a radial space 24 therebetween. It is to be understood that the machine utilizes a counterroll 26, as shown in Figure 2, when the machine is operated. The pair of rolls, 10 and 26, form a pressure rolling nip 27 between one another, the rolling pres-sure tending to deflect the shell roll 22 and shaft 12 downwardly like a beam flexing under a load. In many product applications, however, the shell roll 22 should remain straight. In the pre-sent instance, the shell roll 22 is journaled on an array of self aligning roller bearings 28 on the shaft 12 similar to the shaft shown in U.S. Patent 3,587,152, assigned to the assignee of the present invention. An arrangement of radially directed cylinders 29, each containing a reciprocative piston 30, is disposed in the shaft 12. Each piston 30 has a hydrostatic bearing pad 32 loca-ted on its outer end with which it engages the inner surface of the shell roll 22, the pressurized reciprocation of which helps control roll deflection by transferring the deflection force to the shaft 12, The piston 30 - 3a -103~663 and bearing pad 32 have a fluid flow passageway therethrough for maintenance of lubrication of the bearing pad 32 and the inner surface of the shell roll 22. Each piston 30 i8 most effective when the shaft 12 is maintained straight even though the shaft 12 i6 supported only near its ends. The shaft 12 may be controllably bowed upwardly to counter the deflection produced by the weight of the roll 22 and any external load it carries so that it may function in approximately a straight condition The deflection i8 controlled part~ y by the hydrostatic bearing pads 32. Their relationship with the shaft 12 is described in more detail in the aforementioned U. S. patent 3,587,152, issued June 28, 1971 in the name of the present inventor. The shaft 12 has an axial conduit or passageway 31 for a fluid, usually oil, which applies a radially directed pres6ure to the pistons 30 and to the hydrostatic bearing pads 32, this passageway 31 being accessible as at 33 from one end of the shaft 12 so that it may be supplied with fluid through the conduit 31 under pressure. The conduit 31 connects the pistons 30 through an array of branch lines 35 with the inner end portions of the cylinders 29 behind the pistons 30 so as to force the pistons radially outwardly to apply pressure to support the roll against deflection. as shown in Figure 3. The deflection of the shaft and roll is completely controlled by a biasing arrangement 34 acting symbiotically with the hydrostatic bearing pads 32.
The biasing arrangement 34 is mounted on another support segment 37 of the machine. This method of cooperation between the shaft 12, the biasing arrangements 34, and the bearing pads 32 reduces any chance of misalignment of the movable bearing pads 32 which would impair their proper function.
Disposed within or near the bearing pads 32 in the shaft 12 is a sensor 30 36, shown in Figure 2, which may preferably be a pressure responsive device.
~03B663 The sensor 36 determines the fluid pressure at the bearing pad 32 and sends a signal through a feedback network 38 to an amplifier arrangement 40.
The amplified signal is sent to a switching and control circuit 42 which causes an appropriate response in a hydraulic (or other fluid such as air) servo valve arrangement 44 and establishes the appropriate pressure in the biasing member 34. The biasing member 34 is preferably comprised of a pressurizable hydraulic or pneumatic fluid cylinder arrangement 46, and may be disposed at a point on or near each end of the shaft 12 beyond each respective support 10 frame member 20. The fluid cylinders 46 apply a bending force to the shaft 12 in response to the proper controlled signal with each frame member 20 acting as a fulcrum. The magnitude of the bending movement is automatically controlled in order to achieve the objective, namely, a close conformation between the deflection of the roll shell 22 and the counterbending of the inner shaft 12.
An alternative embodiment of the biasing arrangement 34 is shown in Figure 3 wherein the fluid cylinders 46 are disposed between a second or alternative frame support member 20' and the ends of the shell roll 22 to provide the same controlled counterdeflection or bowing of the inner shaft 12. It can be seen that the biasing arrangement 34 may also be comprised of an electrically driven reduction gearing system. The sensor 36 may be alternatively comprised of a strain gauge, which may be placed at some point on the surface of the shaft 12, as indicated in Figures 2 and 3 at A'. This strain gage would register the strain across the shaft 12, where the output of the strain gauge signal would be sent through the feedback network 38 and used in a closed loop fashion by allowing the control system to increase or decrease the bending force until the strain has reached a certain value even O, indicating that the inner shaft 12 is straight or that it has attained a configuration where the roll shell 22 is maintained straight. Additionally, overbending or underbending of the inner shaft 12 may be desired but this could be established by proper input into the control circuit 42. Other sensing means and/or biasing arrangements could be used without departing from the scope of the invention.
