Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a headbox of a paper machine provided with a headbox body, an adjustment mechanism, and a plurality of adjustment gears mounted at fixed intervals side by side for adjusting the slice profile, said adjustment gears being connected with a profile bar adapted to be movable relative to the headbox body.
  • An object of this invention is to introduce an adjustment gear assembly for providing a reliable adjustment gear assembly to be mounted in connection with the headbox of a paper machine.
  • the adjustment gear assembly is primarily characterized in that at least two of the adjustment gears are fitted in a single housing or the like which is removably fastened to the headbox body.
  • the adjustment gear assembly may include two or more housings which are all provided with at least two adjustment gears.
  • a major advantage gained by the present solution is that an assembly, contained in a housing or a like and comprising at least two adjustment gears, can be preset at a manufacturing plant to form a unit which is ready to be mounted in connection with a headbox without exacting installation work.
  • a housing or the like can be readily replaced even during a short down time of a paper machine.
  • a headbox provided with an adjustment gear assembly of the invention, comprises a stationary body portion 1 and a body portion 2 movable relative to said stationary body portion 1.
  • a coarse adjustment mechanism 3 is fitted between body portions 1 and 2.
  • the headbox further includes a set of pipes 4 for supplying stock into a slice 7.
  • the headbox is further provided with a roll 5 around which runs an endless wire 6, which is shown with dash-and-dot lines and upon which is distributed the stock issuing from slice 7.
  • the movable body portion 2 comprises a substantially horizontal main beam 8 with its brackets for securing said body portion 2 to coarse adjustment mechanism 3. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the movable body portion 2 is provided with three parallel housings 10 of the invention, each fitted with four adjustment gears 11. Each housing 10 is secured e.g. with a bolt attachment 15 to the horizontal main beam 8. The adjustment gears 11 are linked e.g. through the intermediary of pull rods 12 to a profile bar 13 used for the fine adjustment of slice 7.
  • Fig. 2 particularly illustrates a joint between the bottom 10a of housing 10 and the main beam 8 as well as a joint between the stem 14 of adjustment gear 11 and the pull rod 12.
  • the main beam 8 is provided with a flat 8a which has a hole 8b therein for connecting a stem 14 extending from the bottom 10a of housing 10 with said pull rod 12.
  • Figs. 3-5 illustrate the first embodiment of a housing 10 for an adjustment gear assembly of the invention.
  • This embodiment comprises two parallel adjustment gears 11a, 11b fitted inside a housing 10.
  • the housing 10 includes a bottom 10a which is further provided with housing 10 fastening means, such as fastening holes 15a for a bolt attachment.
  • the bottom is further provided with a penetration hole 16 for the stem 14 of a particular adjustment gear 11a, 11b.
  • the bottom 10a is also provided with a space 17 for accommodating means 18 for preventing the rotation of stem 14.
  • Such constructions used for preventing the rotation of a stem are known as such and, thus, will not be described further in this context.
  • the housing 10 further includes side walls 10b which surround the actual worm gears in vertical direction.
  • the housing includes also a lid 10c provided with a penetration hole 19 for the stem 21 of a dial gauge 20 or the like.
  • the dial gauges 20 of adjustment gears as well as the electronics 20a of measuring sensors are installed inside a protective hood 22, the bottom of said protective hood 22 being provided by the lid 10c of housing 10.
  • the forward section of the housing is provided with control means (figs. 4 and 5), such as hand wheels 23, for adjustment gears 11a, 11b and the rear section of the housing is correspondingly provided with drive motors 24 for adjustment gears, which motors can be either stepping or synchronous motors.
  • these motors and the electronics, possibly associated therewith, are provided with their own protective hood 25, one wall of said hood being formed by the rear section 10b' of the side walls 10b of housing 10.
  • the protective hoods 22 and 25 are provided with outlets 26, 27 for electric wiring.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 illustrate one special feature of an assembly of the invention.
  • one essential feature for contributing to the accuracy of slice adjustment is the distance between adjustment gears.
  • the spiral shafts 28, 29, whose opposite ends are provided with hand wheel 23 on the one hand and with the shaft of motor 24 on the other, are mounted between adjustment gears 11a and 11b.
  • the helixes or spirals of spiral shafts 28 and 29 as well as those of spiral wheels 30 and 31 are oppositely directed.
  • the rotation of these spiral shafts in the same direction produces the movement of stems 14a, 14b in the same direction.
  • the spiral shafts 28, 29 and thus the hand wheels 23 and motors 24 are mounted substantially on top of each other.
  • the spiral wheels 30 and 31 are formed in sleeve-shaped elements 32, 33 provided on the inside with two ball nuts (ball nuts 34 in adjustment gear 11a and respectively 35 in adjustment gear 11b) which effect on ball screws 36 connected with stems 14a, 14b.
  • the sleeve-shaped elements 32, 33 are journalled with bearings 37 to the upper surface of the bottom 10a of housing 10 on the one hand and to the lower surface of the housing lid 10c on the other.
  • the housing lid 10c may include a separate axle-box cover 38.
  • Figs. 6-8 illustrate an embodiment of an adjustment gear assembly of the invention, wherein a housing includes eight adjustment gears 11.
  • a housing includes eight adjustment gears 11.
  • the pair of adjustment gears furthest to the right in fig. 6 is arranged in a manner that their spiral shafts 28 and 29 are fitted between said adjustment gears.
  • two adjacent housings 10 can be mounted side by side, whereby the adjustment gear furthest on the right in the left-hand side housing and the adjustment gear furthest on the left in the right-hand side housing can be mounted in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stems in a manner that said gap matches the corresponding distance between the adjacent adjustment gears included in a housing.
  • each housing 10 which includes four adjustment gears, comprises two pairs of adjustment gears provided with oppositely directed threads or spirals as described in connection with fig. 2.
