Description

VERFAHREN UND VORRI CHTUNG ZUM ELEKTROSTATI SCHEN METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ELECTROSTATIC
AUFLADENCHARGE
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum elektrostatischen Aufladen der beiden Außenseiten von zumindest einer Materialbahn mit Ladungen entgegengesetzter Polarität, vor dem Weiterverarbeiten der zumindest einen Materialbahn, wobei diese durch den Spalt eines Paares zueinander parallel und mit geringem Abstand zueinander angeordneter Walzen geführt ist.The invention relates to a method and a device for electrostatically charging the two outer sides of at least one material web with charges of opposite polarity, before the further processing of the at least one material web, which is guided through the gap of a pair parallel to one another and at a short distance from one another.
Ein solches Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum elektrostatischen Aufladen sind bekannt (DE-31 17 419 AI) . Hierbei werden mehrere Materialbahnen zu einem Strang zusammengeführt und nur die beiden Außenseiten mittels einer als Korona-Aufladeelektroden ausgebildeten Vorrichtung zum elektrostatischen Aufladen nach dem ersten Paar von Walzen mittels einer Hochspannungsquelle von 30 kV aufgeladen.Such a method and a device for electrostatic charging are known (DE-31 17 419 AI). Here, several material webs are brought together to form a strand and only the two outer sides are charged by means of a device designed as a corona charging electrodes for electrostatic charging after the first pair of rollers by means of a high-voltage source of 30 kV.
Von Nachteil bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung ist die räumlich nicht sehr gezielte Aufladung der beiden Außenseiten der Materialbahnen . So vagabundiert ein Großteil der aufgeladenen Teilchen im gesamten Bereich, wo die Aufladung stattfindet. Hieraus resultiert ein schlechter Wirkungsgrad bei der Aufladung. Außerdem besteht die Gefahr, daß bei ungünstigen Umgebungsbedingungen die Korona-Aufladeelektroden verschmutzen und ihren Dienst demzufolge versagen. Der Putzaufwand kann sehr beträchtlich sein.A disadvantage of this known device is the spatially not very targeted charging of the two outer sides of the material webs. A large part of the charged particles vagabundate in the entire area where the charging takes place. This results in a poor charging efficiency. In addition, there is a risk that the corona charging electrodes will become dirty and therefore fail to function in unfavorable environmental conditions. The cleaning effort can be very considerable.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren sowie eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, mittels denen ein gezielteres Aufladen mit besserem Wirkungsgrad möglich ist.The invention has for its object to propose a generic method and a generic device, by means of which a more targeted charging with better efficiency is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem gattungsgemäßen Verfahren erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die elektrostatische ungleichnamige Aufladung der beiden Außenseiten der zumindest einen Materialbahn über jede Walze des Paars m dem Spalt erfolgt.This object is achieved with the generic method according to the invention in that the electrostatic charging of the same name of the two outer sides of the at least one material web takes place over each roller of the pair in the gap.
Hierbei kann die Aufladung der Walze über die Oberfläche und zwar mittels einer sogenannten Kontaktwalze (DE- 38 23 739 AI) , oder über ansich bekannte Streichbürsten oder einen Schleifkontakt erfolgen.The roller can be charged over the surface by means of a so-called contact roller (DE-38 23 739 AI), or via brushes known per se or a sliding contact.
In zweckmäßiger Weiterbildung wird bei der gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung jedoch erfindungsgemäß die Aufladung durch die von dem Paar Walzen gebildete Vorrichtung von innen her durchgeführt, wobei ede Walze über einem Stahlmantel einen begrenzt elektrisch leitfähigen (sogenannten halbleitenden) Belag aufweist und - zum elektrischen Aufladen des begrenzt leitfähigen Belages - der Stahlmantel jeder Walze an eine positive bzw. negative Hochspannungsquelle anschließbar ist. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist wegen der Zuführung der Spannung von innen her auch insbesondere der nachträgliche Einbau in vorhandenen Anlagen zur Verarbeitung von Materialbahnen, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff oder Papier bei einer Hochspannungsquelle von 3 bis 7 kV möglich. Somit wird auch mit Bezug auf den Stand der Technik mit beträchtlich geringeren Spannungen gearbeitet Außerdem erfolgt die Aufladung genau an jener aufzuladenden Stelle, nämlich an den Außenseiten der zumindest einen Materialbahn, wodurch sich ein im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik erheblich besserer Wirkungsgrad ergibt. Schließlich ist wegen des Fortfalls von Korona-Aufladeelektroden ein Reinigungsaufwand für diese vollständig entbehrlich, so daß sich auch im Betrieb geringere Kosten wegen Stillstandzeiten der Anlage ergeben .In an expedient development, in the generic device, however, charging is carried out from the inside by the device formed by the pair of rollers, each roller having a limited electrically conductive (so-called semiconducting) coating over a steel jacket and - for electrically charging the limited conductive coating - The steel jacket of each roller can be connected to a positive or negative high voltage source. In the device according to the invention, because of the supply of the voltage from the inside, there is in particular the subsequent installation in existing systems for processing material webs, preferably made of plastic or paper possible with a high voltage source of 3 to 7 kV. This means that considerably lower voltages are also used with reference to the prior art. In addition, the charging takes place precisely at that point to be charged, namely on the outer sides of the at least one material web, which results in a considerably better efficiency compared to the prior art. Finally, due to the elimination of corona charging electrodes, there is no need to clean them, so that there are also lower costs in operation due to downtimes of the system.
Zweckmäßig ist bei der Erfindung die Achse oder Welle der Walze elektrisch leitend mit dem Stahlmantel verbunden und von dem Maschinenrahmen für die Walze elektrisch isoliert. Zum elektrischen Aufladen des begrenzt leitfähigen Belages wird die elektrische Hochspannung an die Achse oder Welle gelegt, die zu diesem Zweck einen Anschluß aufweist. Dieser kann entweder ein fester Anschluß an der Achse oder als ein an der Stirnseite der Welle anzuordnendes Drucklager ausgebildet sein.In the case of the invention, the axis or shaft of the roller is expediently connected to the steel jacket in an electrically conductive manner and is electrically insulated from the machine frame for the roller. To electrically charge the limited conductive covering, the electrical high voltage is applied to the axle or shaft, which has a connection for this purpose. This can either be a fixed connection on the axle or a thrust bearing to be arranged on the end face of the shaft.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es auch möglich, daß konzentrisch zu der Achse oder Welle der Walze neben dieser eine Primarspule bezüglich des Maschinenrahmens fest und konzentrisch zu der Achse oder Welle der Walze an dessen einer Stirnseite eine Sekundärspule mit dieser umlaufend fest angebracht ist und daß deren einer Anschluß an die Achse oder Welle und deren anderer Anschluß über eine Gleichrichterschaltung an dem Stahlmantel angeschlossen ist.In an advantageous development of the invention, it is also possible that a primary coil is fixed with respect to the machine frame and concentric with the axis or shaft of the roller on one end face of which a secondary coil with this is fixed all around and concentrically with the axis or shaft of the roller one of which is connected to the axle or shaft and the other of which is connected to the steel jacket via a rectifier circuit.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den restlichen Unteranspruchen gekennzeichnet. Drei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert . In dieser zeigt :Further refinements of the invention are characterized in the remaining subclaims. Three exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. In this shows:
Figur 1 eine erste Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, im schematischen Quer-, schnitt und teilweise abgebrochener Darstellung;Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention, in a schematic cross, sectional and partially broken representation;
Figur 2 eine zweite Ausführungsform der erfindungs- gemäßen Vorrichtung, im schematischen Querschnitt und teilweise abgebrochener vereinfachter Darstellung; undFIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the device according to the invention, in schematic cross section and partially broken away simplified illustration; and
Figur 3 eine dritte Ausführungsform der erfindungs- gemäßen Vorrichtung, in teilweise ab- und ausgebrochener vereinfachter Darstellung.FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the device according to the invention, in a simplified representation, partly broken away and broken away.
Jede der beiden Walzen 5 gemäß Fig. 1 weist eine feststehende Achse 6 in der ersten Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 sowie einen Stahlmantel 7 auf, über dem insgesamt mit 8 bezeichneter, begrenzt leitfähiger Belag als Oberfläche angeordnet ist, welcher elektrisch aufladbar ist . Zwischen der Achse 6 und dem Stahlmantel 7 ist ein insgesamt mit 9 bezeichnetes Kugellager vorgesehen. Zwischen den beiden parallel zueinander angeordneten Walzen ist ein Spalt 50 vorhanden.Each of the two rollers 5 according to FIG. 1 has a fixed axis 6 in the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 as well as a steel jacket 7, over which a surface with limited conductivity, designated as 8, is arranged, which is electrically chargeable. Between the axis 6 and the steel jacket 7, a ball bearing, generally designated 9, is provided. A gap 50 is present between the two rollers arranged parallel to one another.
Die Achse der Walze 5 ist in einem insgesamt mit 10 bezeichneten Maschinenständer in einer insgesamt mit 11 bezeichneten elektrischen Isolierung gelagert. Die Abstände 12 und 13 sind ausreichend, um Entladungen oder Spannungsüberschläge zu verhindern. Die Stirnseite 16 der Achse 6 ist mit einem insgesamt mit 15 bezeichneten Generator und einer Meßeinrichtung 16 mit einem Anschluß 17 angeschlossen, wobei die zu dem Anschluß 17 fuhrende Leitung über einen Widerstand 18 geerdet ist Der Maschinenstander 10 ist, wie schematisch mit 19 bezeichnet, ebenfalls geerdet.The axis of the roller 5 is mounted in a machine stand, generally designated 10, in an electrical insulation, generally designated 11. The distances 12 and 13 are sufficient to prevent discharges or voltage flashovers. The end face 16 of the axis 6 is connected to a generator, denoted overall by 15, and a measuring device 16 having a connection 17, the line leading to the connection 17 being grounded via a resistor 18. The machine stand 10 is, as shown schematically by 1 9 , also grounded.
Das Ausfuhrungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von enem gemäß Fig. 1, als nur eine der beiden Walzen gezeigt und die dortige Achse 6 nunmehr als Welle 20 ausgebildet ist, die starr über ein elektrisch leitendes Zwischenstuck 21 mit dem Stahlmantel 7 verbunden ist.The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1, as only one of the two rollers is shown and the axis 6 there is now designed as a shaft 20 which is rigidly connected to the steel jacket 7 via an electrically conductive intermediate piece 21.
Dafür ist die Welle 20 vom Maschinenstander 10 entweder über ein elektrisch isolierendes Kugellager 22 oder eine gesonderte Isolierung 11 verbunden. Es ist auch möglich, ein normales, elektrisch leitendes Kugellager zu verwenden und zwischen diesem und dem Maschinenstander 10 eine elektrisch isolierende Hülse 11 vorzusehen.For this purpose, the shaft 20 of the machine stand 10 is connected either via an electrically insulating ball bearing 22 or a separate insulation 11. It is also possible to use a normal, electrically conductive ball bearing and to provide an electrically insulating sleeve 11 between it and the machine stand 10.
Ferner ist an der Stirnseite 14 der Welle 20 ein insgesamt mit 23 bezeichnetes Drucklager als Anschluß vorgesehen, welches elektrisch leitend ist und an dessen Außenseite der Anschluß 17 des Hochspannungsgenerators 15 über die Meßeinrichtung 16 angebracht ist.Furthermore, on the end face 14 of the shaft 20, a pressure bearing, designated overall by 23, is provided as a connection, which is electrically conductive and on the outside of which the connection 17 of the high-voltage generator 15 is attached via the measuring device 16.
Bei beiden Ausführungsformen gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 ist sichergestellt, daß die über die Achse 6 oder Welle 20 angelegte Hochspannung einerseits nicht in den Maschinenraum 10 wegen der elektrischen Isolierung 11 gelangen kann, andererseits die Hochspannung auf den begrenzt leitfahigen Belag 8 der Walze 5 von innen her gelangen kann.In both embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2 it is ensured that the high voltage applied via the axis 6 or shaft 20 on the one hand cannot get into the machine room 10 because of the electrical insulation 11, on the other hand the high voltage on the limited conductive coating 8 of the roller 5 from can get inside.
Die weitere, dritte Ausfuhrungsform gemäß Fig. 3 weist auch zwei Walzen unter Bildung eines Spaltes auf, von denen aber aus Gründen der besseren Übersicht nur eine Walze wie ene auf, wie sie in den Fig 1 und 2 beschrieben sind, gezeigt ist. Ferner ist konzentrisch zur Welle 6 der Walze 5 neben dieser auf der einen Stirnseite 112 eine insgesamt mit 113 bezeichnete erste Aufnahmevorπchtung als magnetisierbarer Kern mit einer, Sekundarspule 114 sowie eine zweite Sekundarspule 115 jeweils konzentrisch zur Welle 6 angeordnet.The further, third embodiment according to FIG. 3 has also two rollers to form a gap, of which, however, for reasons of better clarity, only one roller such as that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown. Furthermore, concentric to the shaft 6 of the roller 5, in addition to the latter on the one end face 112, there is a first receiving device, generally designated 113, as a magnetizable core with a secondary coil 114 and a second secondary coil 115, each concentric to the shaft 6.
Konzentrisch zu der Welle 6 ist eine weitere Aufnahmevorrichtung 116 als magnetisierbarer Kern zur Aufnahme einer ebenfalls zur Welle 6 konzentrischen Primärspule 117 mit elektrischen Anschlüssen 1 und 2 sowie eine zwischen dieser und der Welle 6 angeordneten zweiten Primärspule 18 mit elektrischen Anschlüssen 3 und 4 angeordnet. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung 16 ist mittels eines Zapfens 19, der m eine bezüglich des Maschinenrahmens feste Verankerung 120 eingreift, bezüglich der Welle 6 drehbar und weist auf seiner Innenseite ein insgesamt mit 121 bezeichnetes Kugellager auf, so daß sich diese zwar drehen kann, der magnetisierbare Kern jedoch infolge des Zapfens 119 und der Verankerung 120 bezüglich der ersten Aufnahmeeinrichtung 113 drehfest gehalten werden kann.A further receiving device 116 is arranged concentrically with the shaft 6 as a magnetizable core for receiving a primary coil 117 with electrical connections 1 and 2, which is also concentric with the shaft 6, and a second primary coil 18 with electrical connections 3 and 4 arranged between the latter and the shaft 6. The receiving device 16 can be rotated with respect to the shaft 6 by means of a pin 19 which engages an anchorage 120 which is fixed with respect to the machine frame and has on its inside a ball bearing designated as 121 overall, so that it can rotate, but the magnetizable core due to the pin 119 and the anchoring 120 can be held in a rotationally fixed manner with respect to the first receiving device 113.
Auf der Sekundarseite der ersten Aufnahmevorrichtung 113 ist ferner noch eine Gleichrichterschaltung 122 sowie eine Glättungsschaltung 123 vorgesehen, die mit ihrem Ausgang mit dem begrenzt leitfähigen Belag 8 verbunden ist.A rectifier circuit 122 and a smoothing circuit 123 are also provided on the secondary side of the first receiving device 113, and their output is connected to the limited conductive coating 8.
Der elektrische Anschluß 2 der Primarspule 117 ist geerdet, wohingegen der elektrische Anschluß 1 an einen Wechselspannungsgenerator anschließbar ist Die beiden elektrischen Anschlüsse 3 und 4 der zweiten Primarspule 118 sind an die Eingänge einer Regelschaltung anschließbar, welche die Größe der Ausgangsspannung und/oder deren Frequenz - in ansich bekannter Weise ändern kann.The electrical connection 2 of the primary coil 117 is grounded, whereas the electrical connection 1 can be connected to an AC voltage generator. The two electrical connections 3 and 4 of the second primary coil 118 are to the inputs of a control circuit connectable, which can change the size of the output voltage and / or its frequency - in a manner known per se.
Die Sekundärspule 114 ist mit ihrer einen Seite geerdet. Dasselbe gilt auch für die zweite Sekundärspule 115. Beide Sekundärspulen 114, 115 sind parallel geschaltet. Beiden Spulen ist zunächst die Gleichrichterschaltung 122 zum Gleichrichten des Wechselstromes nachgeordnet. Hinter der Gleichrichterschaltung 122 ist die Glättungsschaltung 123, z.B. in Form eines LC-Filters, wie ansich bekannt, angeordnet. Der Ausgang der Glättungsschaltung 123 ist mit dem begrenzt leitfähigen Belag 8 der Walze 5 verbunden.The secondary coil 114 is grounded on one side. The same also applies to the second secondary coil 115. Both secondary coils 114, 115 are connected in parallel. The rectifier circuit 122 for rectifying the alternating current is initially arranged downstream of both coils. After the rectifier circuit 122 is the smoothing circuit 123, e.g. arranged in the form of an LC filter, as known per se. The output of the smoothing circuit 123 is connected to the limited conductive coating 8 of the roller 5.
Im Betrieb werden die Sekundärspule 114 gegenüber der Primärspule 117 bewegt. Über den Luftspalt zwischen den beiden magnetisierbaren Kernen der Aufnahmevorrichtung 113 und 116 kann also die WechselSpannung der Primärspule 117 eine Sekundärspannung in der Sekundärspule 114 induzieren, die über die Gleichrichterschaltung 122 gleichgerichtet und die Glättungsschaltung 123 geglättet direkt dem begrenzt leitfähigen Belag 8 zugeführt wird. Die induzierte Spannung der Sekundärspule 114 wird durch die zweite Sekundärspule 115 abgenommen und auf die zweite Primärspule 118 im umgekehrten Sinne induziert, die mit ihren elektrischen Anschlüssen 3 und 4 an eine Regelschaltung anschließbar ist, welche die Wechselspannungsquelle dergestalt steuern kann, daß an dem begrenzt leitfähigen Belag 8 der Walze 5 stets die gleiche Gleichspannung anliegt. In operation, the secondary coil 114 is moved relative to the primary coil 117. Via the air gap between the two magnetizable cores of the receiving device 113 and 116, the alternating voltage of the primary coil 117 can induce a secondary voltage in the secondary coil 114, which is rectified via the rectifier circuit 122 and the smoothing circuit 123 is supplied smoothly to the limited conductive coating 8. The induced voltage of the secondary coil 114 is taken off by the second secondary coil 115 and induced on the second primary coil 118 in the opposite sense, which with its electrical connections 3 and 4 can be connected to a control circuit which can control the AC voltage source in such a way that it is conductive to a limited extent Covering 8 of roller 5 always has the same DC voltage.
