Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the contact-free, wavy guiding of material webs, in particular metal strips, by means of a gas medium with nozzle boxes arranged above and below at a distance from the material web, each having a nozzle exit plane, between which gas extraction channels are provided above and below the material web.
- Devices of this type are used, in particular, for heating or cooling strip or sheet material.
- Luit or protective gas which is blown against the material web, is predominantly used as the gas medium.
- the guiding of metal strips with a thickness of 0.3 mm and more can no longer be carried out in a satisfactory manner.
- the critical strip thickness can still be less than 0.3 mm.
- the metal strip of the corresponding thickness or stiffness emerging from the device rather has an impermissibly high proportion of longitudinal folds and other unevenness, so that a high proportion of rejects must be expected.
- a device is also known (DE-PS 33 18861) through which webs of material, in particular aluminum strips, can be passed in a floating manner for the purpose of annealing treatment.
- nozzle boxes extending transversely to the direction of transport of the material webs are used, each of which has two longitudinal slots or rows of holes to form air cushions, the blowing directions of which are inclined towards one another.
- These nozzle boxes are arranged in pairs above and below the web.
- Such a pair of nozzle boxes arranged above the web then is followed by a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction below the web.
- This pair is then connected to a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction above the web.
- the heating or cooling of the web in relation to the treatment section can only be relatively slight. To achieve a high system output, a relatively long treatment route with the corresponding technical effort is therefore necessary.
- the load capacity of the gas jets emerging from the nozzle boxes and inclined towards one another is very low, so that this device cannot be considered for relatively thick and heavy metal strips.
- the nozzle boxes in this device must be designed to be quite complex, this known device cannot be used to achieve the optimal sinusoidal shape for the carrying and guiding effect.
- a device of the type mentioned at the outset in which a material web is guided in a wave shape between pairs of nozzle boxes arranged one behind the other in the transport direction.
- the nozzle boxes of each pair are arranged opposite each other on the two sides of the web.
- a pair of nozzle boxes is assigned to each wave crest and each wave trough.
- This known device is particularly unsuitable for thick and / or rigid strip material, in which a large wavelength is required with a fine gradation of the undulating course.
- a device for the transport of web material through a treatment plant is also known (DE-A-2 558 002), in which nozzle boxes are arranged above and below the web in a blow box plane.
- the distance between the two blow box levels can be adjustable.
- the nozzle boxes have different degrees of perforation, whereby nozzle boxes with the same degree of perforation are grouped together.
- the known device accordingly requires a plurality of differently designed nozzle boxes for controlling the course of the web.
- the actual path of the web in a particular design of the nozzle boxes cannot be precisely calculated in advance.
- An optimization of the web path cannot be achieved or requires an unacceptable effort.
- the invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that it can be used to run both relatively thin and relatively thick and / or rigid strip material, in particular metal strip, in a contact-free manner in a sinusoidal wavy line, one for heating or cooling high power density should be achievable.
- nozzle outlet planes of the nozzle boxes arranged above and below the web are in relation to one of the
- the direction of transport of the web corresponding to the substantially horizontal plane in the direction of transport has individual or group-wise distances that several nozzle boxes are assigned to each wave crest or each wave trough, that the position of the exit planes of the nozzle boxes can be adapted to the waveform and that those arranged above the web are arranged Nozzle boxes are offset from the nozzle boxes arranged below the web in the transport direction.
- the distance between the upper and lower nozzle boxes from the web can be selected according to the load to be carried.
- the nozzle boxes can have one or more rows of nozzles, it being possible to use slot nozzles and nozzles with a round, oval or other shaped nozzle opening. Air is particularly suitable as the gas medium.
- the offset of the nozzle boxes arranged above the web relative to those arranged below leads to a stabilization of the web.
- the individual nozzle boxes which are arranged above and below the web, can be placed in the device in accordance with the desired, possibly sinusoidal, course of the web.
- the device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes above and below the web are distributed over essentially the same bandwidth.
- the device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes arranged above the web are offset from the nozzle boxes arranged below the web transversely to the transport direction.
- the device according to the invention can also be designed such that at least some of the nozzle boxes can be adjusted vertically with respect to a substantially horizontal plane corresponding to the direction of transport. With such an adjustability, the course of the web in the device can be changed. In particular, an adaptation to changing material webs and material properties is possible.
- the device according to the invention can be designed such that at least some of the adjustable nozzle boxes can be adjusted together. In this way, the adjustability of the nozzle boxes with respect to the web can be simplified and thus accelerated.
- Fig. 1a shows schematically a device A in the form of a heating furnace or a cooling device.
- This device A has a fan B which conveys gas flows in nozzle boxes D via pressure channels C. The gas emerges from the nozzle boxes D aua and meets a material web E. From here, the gas is fed back to the fan B via an intake duct F. Heating or cooling elements for the gas streams can be provided in the pressure channels C and / or the intake channel F.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum berührungsfreien, wellenförmigen Führen von Warenbahnen, insbesondere Metallbändern, mittels eines Gasmediums mit oberhalb und unterhalb in Abstand von der Warenbahn angeordneten, jeweils eine Düsenaustrittsebene aufweisenden Düsenkästen, zwischen denen oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn Gasabzugskanäle vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a device for the contact-free, wavy guiding of material webs, in particular metal strips, by means of a gas medium with nozzle boxes arranged above and below at a distance from the material web, each having a nozzle exit plane, between which gas extraction channels are provided above and below the material web.
Derartige Vorrichtungen dienen insbesondere zum Erwarmen oder Kühlen von band- oder bahnförmigem Material. As Gasmedium wird dabei überwiegend Luit oder Schutzgas eingesetzt, die gegen die Warenbahn geblasen wird.Devices of this type are used, in particular, for heating or cooling strip or sheet material. Luit or protective gas, which is blown against the material web, is predominantly used as the gas medium.
Es ist bereits bekannt (DE-AS 25 21 017), Warenbahnen, insbesondere Metallbänder, mit einer Dicke von 0,1 mm und mehr gleichmäßig und ebenflächig durch einen Spalt zwischen entgegengerichteten Düsenkästen hindurchzuführen. Dabei verlaufen die Düsenkästen quer zur Transportrichtung der Warenbahn, und die längs-oder quergerichteten Düsen sind versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Die nahe einer Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen sind durch Gasabzugskanäle zum Ableiten des über die Düsen auf die Warenbahn geblasenen Gasmediums voneinander getrennt. In diese Gasabzugskanäle sind Drosselklappen zur Regelung des Gasabzugs eingesetzt.It is already known (DE-AS 25 21 017) to pass material webs, in particular metal strips, with a thickness of 0.1 mm and more evenly and evenly through a gap between opposing nozzle boxes. The nozzle boxes run transversely to the direction of transport of the material web, and the longitudinal or transverse nozzles are offset from one another. The nozzle boxes arranged near a product web are separated from one another by gas extraction channels for discharging the gas medium blown onto the product web via the nozzles. Throttle valves for regulating the gas discharge are inserted into these gas discharge ducts.
Mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung ist das Führen von Metallbändern mit einer Stärke von 0,3 mm und mehr nicht mehr in einer zufriedenstellenden Weise durchzuführen. Bei Bandern aus speziellen Metallegierungen, z.B. einigen Kupferlegierungen, kann die kritische Bandstärke noch unter 0,3 mm liegen.With this known device, the guiding of metal strips with a thickness of 0.3 mm and more can no longer be carried out in a satisfactory manner. For bands made of special metal alloys, e.g. some copper alloys, the critical strip thickness can still be less than 0.3 mm.
Eine vorteilhafte sinusförmige Metallbandführung durch die Vorrichtung läßt sich dabei nicht erreichen. Das aus der Vorrichtung austretende Metallband entsprechender Dicke bzw. Steifheit weist vielmehr einen unzulässig hohen Anteil an Längsfalten und anderen Unebenheiten auf, so daß mit einem hohen Anteil an Ausschuß gerechnet werden muß.An advantageous sinusoidal metal strip guide through the device cannot be achieved. The metal strip of the corresponding thickness or stiffness emerging from the device rather has an impermissibly high proportion of longitudinal folds and other unevenness, so that a high proportion of rejects must be expected.
Es ist ferner eine Vorrichtung bekannt (DE-PS 33 18861), durch die Warenbahnen, insbesondere Aluminiumbänder, zum Zweck einer Glühbehandlung schwebend hindurchgeführt werden können. Dabei werden quer zur Transportrichtung der Warenbahnen sich erstreckende Düsenkästen verwendet, die zur Bildung von Luftkissen je zwei Längsschlitze oder Lochreihen aufweisen, deren Blasrichtungen aufeinanderzu geneigt sind. Diese Düsenkästen sind oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn paarweise angeordnet. Einem solchen Paar von oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen folgt dann in Transportrichtung unterhalb der Warenbahn ein weiteres Paar von Düsenkästen. An dieses Paar schließt sich in Transportrichtung dann oberhalb der Warenbahn ein weiteres Paar von Düsenkästen an. Dies bedeutet, daß zwischen denjenigen Düsenpaaren, die oberhalb oder unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordnet sind, große Zwischenräume vorhanden sind. Folglich kann die Erwärmung bzw. Abkühlung der Warenbahn bezogen auf die Behandlungsstrecke nur relativ gering sein. Zur Erreichung einer hohen Anlagenleistung ist deshalb eine relativ lange Behandlungsstrecke mit entsprechendem technischen Aufwand erforderlich.A device is also known (DE-PS 33 18861) through which webs of material, in particular aluminum strips, can be passed in a floating manner for the purpose of annealing treatment. In this case, nozzle boxes extending transversely to the direction of transport of the material webs are used, each of which has two longitudinal slots or rows of holes to form air cushions, the blowing directions of which are inclined towards one another. These nozzle boxes are arranged in pairs above and below the web. Such a pair of nozzle boxes arranged above the web then is followed by a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction below the web. This pair is then connected to a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction above the web. This means that there are large gaps between those nozzle pairs which are arranged above or below the web. As a result, the heating or cooling of the web in relation to the treatment section can only be relatively slight. To achieve a high system output, a relatively long treatment route with the corresponding technical effort is therefore necessary.
Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung ist zudem die Tragkraft der aus den Düsenkästen austretenden, aufeinanderzu geneigten Gasstrahlen sehr gering, so daß diese Vorrichtung für relativ dicke und schwere Metallbänder nicht in Betracht kommen kann. Obgleich die Düsenkästen bei dieser Vorrichtung recht aufwendig gestaltet sein müssen, kann mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nicht der für den Trage- und Führungseffekt optimale sinusförmige Verlauf herbeigeführt werden.In the known device, the load capacity of the gas jets emerging from the nozzle boxes and inclined towards one another is very low, so that this device cannot be considered for relatively thick and heavy metal strips. Although the nozzle boxes in this device must be designed to be quite complex, this known device cannot be used to achieve the optimal sinusoidal shape for the carrying and guiding effect.
Aus JP-A-5 696 030 ist eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, bei der eine Warenbahn wellenförmig zwischen in Transportrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Paaren von Düsenkästen hindurchgeführt wird. Die Düsenkästen jedes Paares sind dabei auf den beiden Seiten der Warenbahn einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet. Jedem Wellenberg und jedem Wellental ist ein Paar von Düsenkästen zugeordnet.From JP-A-5 696 030 a device of the type mentioned at the outset is known, in which a material web is guided in a wave shape between pairs of nozzle boxes arranged one behind the other in the transport direction. The nozzle boxes of each pair are arranged opposite each other on the two sides of the web. A pair of nozzle boxes is assigned to each wave crest and each wave trough.
Diese bekannte Vorrichtung ist insbesondere für dickes und/oder steifes Bandmaterial ungeeignet, bei dem eine große Wellenlänge bei feiner Stufung des wellenförmigen Verlaufs erforderlich ist.This known device is particularly unsuitable for thick and / or rigid strip material, in which a large wavelength is required with a fine gradation of the undulating course.
Es ist ferner eine Vorrichtung für den Transport bahnförmigen Materials durch eine Behandlungsanlage bekannt (DE-A-2 558 002), bei der oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn jeweils in einer Blaskastenebene Düsenkästen angeordnet sind. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Blaskastenebenen kann regelbar sein. Die Düsenkästen haben unterschiedliche perforationsgrade, wobei Düsenkästen mit gleichem Perforationsgrad zu einer Gruppe zusammengefaßt sind.A device for the transport of web material through a treatment plant is also known (DE-A-2 558 002), in which nozzle boxes are arranged above and below the web in a blow box plane. The distance between the two blow box levels can be adjustable. The nozzle boxes have different degrees of perforation, whereby nozzle boxes with the same degree of perforation are grouped together.
Die bekannte Vorrichtung erfordert demnach mehrere voneinander abweichend ausgebildete Düsenkästen zur Steuerung des Warenbahnverlaufs. Der bei einer bestimmten Gestaltung der Düsenkästen sich tatsächlich ergebende Warenbahnverlauf ist im voraus nicht genau zu berechnen. Eine Optimierung des Warenbahnverlaufs ist nicht zu erreichen bzw. erfordert einen nicht akzeptablen Aufwand.The known device accordingly requires a plurality of differently designed nozzle boxes for controlling the course of the web. The actual path of the web in a particular design of the nozzle boxes cannot be precisely calculated in advance. An optimization of the web path cannot be achieved or requires an unacceptable effort.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art so auszubilden, daß mit ihr sowohl relativ dünnes als auch relativ dickes und/oder steifes Bandmaterial, insbesondere Metallband, berühungsfrei in sinusförmiger Wellenlinie geführt werden kann, wobei für Erwärumung oder Kühlung eine hohe Leistungsdichte erreichbar sein soll.The invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that it can be used to run both relatively thin and relatively thick and / or rigid strip material, in particular metal strip, in a contact-free manner in a sinusoidal wavy line, one for heating or cooling high power density should be achievable.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Düsenaustrittsebenen der oberhalb sowie der unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen in Bezug auf eine der Transportrichtung der Warenbahn entsprechende im wesentlichen waagerechte Ebene in Transportrichtung einzeln oder gruppenweise abweichende Abstände haben, daß zum wellenförmigen Führen jedem Wellenberg bzw. jedem Wellental mehrere Düsenkästen zugeordnet sind, daß die Lage der Austrittsebenen der Düsenkästen der Wellenform anpaßbar ist und daß die oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen gegenüber den unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen in Transportrichtung versetzt angeordnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that the nozzle outlet planes of the nozzle boxes arranged above and below the web are in relation to one of the The direction of transport of the web corresponding to the substantially horizontal plane in the direction of transport has individual or group-wise distances that several nozzle boxes are assigned to each wave crest or each wave trough, that the position of the exit planes of the nozzle boxes can be adapted to the waveform and that those arranged above the web are arranged Nozzle boxes are offset from the nozzle boxes arranged below the web in the transport direction.
Der Abstand der oberen und der unteren Düsenkästen von der Warenbahn kann entsprechend der zu tragenden Last gewählt werden. Die Düsenkästen können eine oder mehrere Düsenreihen aufweisen, wobei Schlitzdüsen sowie Düsen mit runder, ovaler oder anders geformter Düsenöffnung verwendet werden können. Als Gasmedium kommt insbesondere Luft in Betracht. Der Versatz der oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen bezüglich der unterhalb angeordneten führt zu einer Stabilisierung der Warenbahn.The distance between the upper and lower nozzle boxes from the web can be selected according to the load to be carried. The nozzle boxes can have one or more rows of nozzles, it being possible to use slot nozzles and nozzles with a round, oval or other shaped nozzle opening. Air is particularly suitable as the gas medium. The offset of the nozzle boxes arranged above the web relative to those arranged below leads to a stabilization of the web.
Die einzelnen Düsenkästen, die oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordenet sind, können entsprechend dem gewünschten, möglicherweise sinusförmigen, Verlauf der Bahn in der Vorrichtung plaziert sein.The individual nozzle boxes, which are arranged above and below the web, can be placed in the device in accordance with the desired, possibly sinusoidal, course of the web.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Düsenkästen oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn im wesentlichen über die gleiche Bandbreite verteilt sind.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes above and below the web are distributed over essentially the same bandwidth.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen gegenüber den unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen quer zur Transportrichtung versetzt angeordnet sind.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes arranged above the web are offset from the nozzle boxes arranged below the web transversely to the transport direction.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß zumindest ein Teil der Düsenkästen senkrecht in Bezug auf eine der Transportrichtung entsprechende im wesentlichen waagerechte Ebene einstellbar ist. Durch eine solche Einstellbarkeit kann der Verlauf der Warenbahn in der Vorrichtung verändert werden. Insbesondere ist dabei eine Anpassung an wechselnde Warenbahnen und Materialbeschaffenheiten möglich.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that at least some of the nozzle boxes can be adjusted vertically with respect to a substantially horizontal plane corresponding to the direction of transport. With such an adjustability, the course of the web in the device can be changed. In particular, an adaptation to changing material webs and material properties is possible.
Schließlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung so ausgebildet sein, daß zumindest ein Teil der einstellbaren Düsenkästen gemeinsam einstellbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Einstellbarkeit der Düsenkästen in Bezug auf die Warenbahn vereinfacht und damit beschleunigt werden.Finally, the device according to the invention can be designed such that at least some of the adjustable nozzle boxes can be adjusted together. In this way, the adjustability of the nozzle boxes with respect to the web can be simplified and thus accelerated.
