Definitions

  • the invention relates to a headbox for a paper machine according to the preamble of claim 1 or 2.
  • a headbox of the above Type is e.g. in the as yet unpublished German patent application P 42 13 707.
  • This particular embodiment of the previously reported object makes it possible, by adding air or another medium, in particular water, or its discharge in the region between two turbulence generators, to influence the material density and the flow state in the hydraulic headbox in a targeted manner.
  • One of the goals of this proposed measure is to be able to change the flow state in addition to the setting of the basis weight cross profile, which is carried out with the aid of geometric gap changes. It is namely known that cross flows, as can arise in particular when setting the basis weight cross profile, can cause an unsatisfactory state of the fiber orientation on the web formed.
  • the invention makes use of the knowledge that an intensive turbulence generator with a high pressure loss lying in front of the intermediate chamber favors the mixing and at the same time limits it locally as far as appropriate.
  • a hydraulic turbulence generator with a higher effect has comparatively smaller flow cross sections. It therefore offers enough space between the pipes or channels carrying the liquid for the additional measures mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1 and is also often simpler in construction.
  • the comparatively small space requirement in the first turbulence generator through the individual channels can be used to accommodate the lines appropriately and in a space-saving manner.
  • a relatively clear dilution water or an aqueous suspension will be used and added as the fluid mentioned in the characterizing part of claims 1 and 2.
  • the pulp suspension flowing in the headbox can also be derived in part and in doses. A limited air supply is even possible, as long as the desired paper quality permits.
  • the solution proposed in claim 2 uses the space initially available in the turbulence generator located after the intermediate chamber to accommodate the lines, and the reversal of direction can provide an impulse for better mixing. Even if it is intended to accommodate the lines in the more space-consuming turbulence generator located downstream of the intermediate chamber, the fact that at the intermediate chamber can be exploited facing the side of the turbulence generator, smaller flow cross-sections are required for the channels carrying the suspension, which again results in a favorable installation situation for the inlets and outlets.
  • the turbulence generator can also be used as a rectifier with low pressure loss, so that the reversal of direction in the feed into the intermediate chamber then offers very advantageous support for the relatively weak mixing action in the rectifier.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a side view, partly in section, of an embodiment of the headbox according to the invention.
  • a liquid supply device 1 can be seen which opens into a turbulence generator 2 consisting of several pipelines 7.
  • An intermediate chamber 4 follows, which is followed by a further turbulence generator 3 downstream.
  • the one from this second Turbulence generator 3 material suspension exiting during operation of the headbox is collected in a nozzle space and fed to an exit gap 5, from which it hits at least one paper machine screen in the form of a wide gap.
  • the lines 6 and 6 'in the case shown here are connected to the pipelines 7 designed as step diffusers.
  • the intermediate chamber 4 can have a length that is 10 to 20 times as large as a step jump of a turbulence generator designed as a step diffuser, in order to achieve optimal mixing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a device similar to that in FIG. 1, the line 6 being the same for all the pipelines 7 lying one above the other.
  • the headbox shown in FIG. 3 contains, as the first turbulence generator 2, only a pipe 7, viewed in the vertical, which is also a step diffuser. Several locations are indicated at which a line 6 can be present. In most cases, the line which is not shown in broken lines and which opens into the first part of the turbulence generator will be the most advantageous option. Control valves are provided both in this line 6 and in the supply line to the turbulence generator 2, which can be controlled together via a control circuit. As a further possibility of influencing the flow in the turbulence generator 2 as desired, the change in the angle at which the line 6 opens into the turbulence generator 2 is indicated in FIG. 3. In this way, very specific impulses for better mixing can be generated. FIGS.
  • the lines 6 are spatially in the region of the first turbulence generator 2, but open into the intermediate chamber 4.
  • Such an embodiment is simpler and more compact in terms of construction, but nevertheless uses the turbulence with which the suspension exits the flow channels 8 and enters the intermediate chamber 4.
  • the turbulence generator 2 can also be formed by a block provided with flow channels 8 instead of by free-standing pipelines.
  • the flow channels 8 widen stepwise in the flow direction, that is to say they are designed as step diffusers.
  • the lines 6 can also be inserted into the headbox from the side.
  • the intermediate chamber 4 is divided into partial chambers by a number of walls 11 extending in the direction of flow and perpendicular to the sieve plane. In special cases, this can prevent undesired cross-mixing in the intermediate chamber 4.
  • the lines 6 open into the first part of the step-widening flow channels 8.
  • FIG. 8 shows, albeit schematically, the technical structure of a turbulence generator 2 provided with step-diffuser-like flow channels 8.
  • a turbulence generator 2 provided with step-diffuser-like flow channels 8.
  • bores with a diameter such that they cut into the flow channels 8 are made within the turbulence generator block such that they cut the flow channels, thereby establishing a connection between the flow channels and lines .
  • two adjacent rows of superimposed flow channels are connected to the same feed line. This embodiment is shown in somewhat more detail in FIG. 13.
  • the lines 6 can also lie within the second turbulence generator 3 and be connected to the intermediate chamber 4. In this way, an impulse is generated against the actual flow direction, which leads to a mixing of the water supplied with the suspension (FIGS. 9 and 10).
  • FIG. 11 shows a somewhat simpler embodiment, in which two channels are located one above the other in the turbulence generator 2 and the line 6 takes place only in one of the channels lying one above the other, in this case in the upper ones.
  • FIG. 12 shows the combination of supply of dilution water (arrow 12) in the turbulence generator 2 and withdrawal of suspension (arrow 13) in the turbulence generator 3.
  • the invention can also be easily implemented in multi-layer headboxes, as shown by way of example in FIG. 14.
  • the two-layer headbox shown schematically there has two independently feedable liquid supply devices 1, each of which is connected downstream by two turbulence generators 2 and 3, with an intermediate chamber 4 between each and a nozzle chamber with a partition 14 following the last turbulence generator 3 in the flow direction Exit gap 5 is at the end.
