Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the continuous coating of a web of material guided around a counter roller, in particular a paper or cardboard web, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the contact pressure of the scraper knife against the counter roller required to set a desired coating weight is generated by an elastic deformation of the scraper knife between its foot clamped in the scraper knife and its tip, the change in the blade angle due to the deformation being kept as small as possible.
  • a coating device which is very advantageous in this respect is described in DE-C-28 25 907.
  • the deformation is achieved by the in a Clamping bar clamped scraper blade is moved linearly, the scraper knife being supported by a support bar which remains unchanged when the clamping bar is moved.
  • relatively small movements of the clamping bar produce large changes in the contact pressure, so that the influence on the blade angle is so small that practically without exception there are no qualitative disadvantages.
  • the S-shaped deformation of the scraper knife achieves very good transverse stability of the knife blade even with the slightest contact forces, which is of crucial importance for the quality of the line profiles transverse to the running direction of the material web.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a generic coating device in which the constancy of the blade angle is further improved when the bias voltage changes.
  • the material web 1 to be coated e.g. a paper web, in the direction of the arrow around a counter roller 2.
  • the coating material applied in excess from a coating unit (not shown) to the material web 1 is metered to the desired coat weight by the metering system described in more detail below.
  • the side frame 5, together with the scraper bar 4 can be pivoted away about the axis 7 from the counter roller 2 for cleaning or for changing a scraper knife.
  • a clamping bar 8 is integrated in the scraper bar 4 and can be adjusted in a straight line by means of a screw jack 9 - in the swiveled-in position approximately in the horizontal direction.
  • the scraper knife 3 is clamped with its foot in the clamping bar 8, an angle of 70 ° -80 °, preferably approximately 75 °, being established between the scraper knife 3 and the direction of movement of the clamping bar 8.
  • a support bar 10 is fastened to the scraper bar 4, against which the scraper knife 3 rests and which can be adjusted to a specific transverse profile with adjusting screws 11 arranged at regular intervals over the working width.
  • the pivoting of the scraper bar 4 for setting a specific bar angle is carried out by means of a screw jack 12.
  • the straight adjustment of the clamping bar 8 is directly mechanically coupled to the bar angle setting.
  • a second spindle lifting mechanism 13 is used, which sits above the first lifting mechanism 12 on the rotationally fixed spindle 14.
  • the axial adjustment of the spindle 14 articulated on a lever-like extension 15 is carried out with worm wheels 16 and 17, respectively, the worm wheel 16 of the lower spindle lifting mechanism 12 being connected to a servomotor.
  • the worm wheel 17 of the upper screw jack is coupled with a fixed transmission ratio to the driven worm wheel 18 of the screw jack 9 for the clamping bar adjustment.
  • the coupling is carried out with toothed belt 19, and the use of cardan shafts or a bevel gear is also possible.
  • the direct mechanical coupling of the clamping beam adjustment with the beam angle setting has the effect that when the clamping beam 8 is adjusted with the worm wheel 18, a proportional change in the beam angle with the spindle 14 corresponding to the selected transmission ratio takes place.
  • the bar angle is adjusted by an electric motor as a function of the adjustment of the clamping bar 8.
  • a microprocessor 21 is connected to a pulse counter with which the servomotor 20 of the spindle lifting mechanism 9 is controlled for the clamping beam adjustment, which controls the required correction of the beam angle depending on the clamping beam adjustment via the drive 22 of the spindle lifting mechanism 12.
  • a corresponding correction of the bar angle is assigned to each position of the base point of the scraper knife 3, which compensates for a change in the blade angle due to the base point adjustment.
  • This electronic solution which is more complex than the embodiment according to FIG. 1, has the advantage that time-dependent changes, e.g. the wear of the doctor blade 3, and other parameters that influence the blade angle - e.g. elastic deformation of the roll surface, support length, average beam angle - can be taken into account as parameters in the calculation of the beam angle correction and can be varied if necessary.
  • the doctor bar 4 is pivoted in the direction of the counter roller 2 until the tip of the doctor knife 3 lies against the material web 1.
  • the desired beam angle is then set with the screw jack 12.
  • the clamping bar 8 is now moved in a straight line away from the counter roller 2 with the spindle lifting mechanism 9. Since the support bar 10 remains unchanged during this movement, the scraper knife 3 curves in an S-shape and its tip is pressed against the material web 2. Due to the deformation, a slight change in the blade angle occurs in the area between the support bar 10 and the metering line 6.
  • a deviation of 15 ° compared to a doctor blade 3 clamped perpendicularly against the adjustment direction of the clamping bar 8 has the effect that the change in the blade angle due to the deformation is approximately proportional to the usable clamping bar displacement. It can therefore be compensated for by a proportional change in the beam angle. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, this is carried out with a simple mechanical coupling.
  • the pulse counter reports a corresponding number of travel pulses to the microprocessor 21, which at the same time controls the drive 22 of the screw jack 12 according to a previously defined correction curve and thus likewise swivels the scraper bar 4 by the required angle correction .
