Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the technical field of mineral fiber-insulating plates.
  • Mineral fibers generally comprise fibers such as rockwool fibers, glass fibers, etc. More precisely, the present invention relates to novel mineral fiber-insulating plates.
  • the mineral fiber-insulating plates according to the present invention exhibit advantageous characteristics as to mechanical performance, such as modulus of elasticity and strength, low weight and good thermal-insulating property.
  • Mineral fiber-insulating webs are normally hitherto produced as homogeneous webs, i.e. webs in which the mineral fibers of which the mineral fiber-insulating web is composed, are generally orientated in a single predominant orientation which is mostly determined by the orientation of the production line on which the mineral fiber-insulating web is produced and transmitted during the process of producing the mineral fiber-insulating web.
  • the product made from a homogeneous mineral fiber-insulating web exhibits characteristics which are determined by the integrity of the mineral fiber-insulating web and which are predominantly determined by the binding of the mineral fibers within the mineral fiber-insulating plate produced from the mineral fiber-insulating web, and further predominantly determined by the area weight and density of the mineral fibers of the mineral fiber-insulating plate.
  • a method of producing an insulating mineral fiber plate composed of interconnected rod-shaped mineral fiber elements includes cutting a continuous mineral fiber web in the longitudinal direction thereof in order to form lamellae, cutting the lamellae into desired lengths, turning the lamellae 90° about the longitudinal axis and bonding the lamellae together for forming the plate.
  • the method also includes a step of curing the continuous mineral fiber web, or alternatively the plate composed of the individual lengths of lamellae bonded together for the formation of the plate.
  • a method of producing a fibrous sheet structure including filaments or fibers of a polymeric material such as polyethylene trephtalate or polyhexamethyleaditamide includes producing the polymeric material filaments or fibers by means of a carting machine from a supply of filaments or fibers constituted by a porous resilient batt of filaments or fibers, collecting the polymeric material filaments or fibers on a belt for the formation of a continuous web of polymeric material filaments or fibers, compressing the web, cutting the web into a series of parallel fiber strips including polymeric material filaments or fibers and turning the fiber strips 90° about the longitudinal axis and adjoining the strips together as the strips are caused to effect unification solely through the release of a compression effect which has been applied to the strips during the process of turning the strips.
  • the web produced in accordance with the technique described in the above US patent is suitable for manufacturing fabrics such as carpets, blankets, bed spreads, bathrobes etc.
  • a particular advantage of the present invention relates to the novel mineral fiber-insulating plate according to the present invention which as compared to prior art mineral fiber-insulating plates contains less mineral fibers and is consequently less costly than the prior art mineral fiber-insulating plates, still exhibiting advantages as compared to the prior art mineral fiber-insulating plates relating to mechanical performance and thermal-insulating properties.
  • a particular feature of the present invention relates to the fact that the novel mineral fiber-insulating plate according to the present invention is produceable from less mineral fibers or less material as compared to the prior art mineral fiber-insulating plate still providing the same properties as the prior art mineral fiber-insulating plate regarding mechanical performance and thermal-insulating properties, thus, providing a more lightweight and more compact mineral fiber-insulating plate product as compared to the prior art mineral fiber-insulating plate product reducing transport, storage and handling costs.
  • the mineral fiber-insulating plate according to the present invention preferably comprises opposite surface layers of similar structure sandwiching the central body in the integral structure of the mineral fiber-insulating plate.
  • a first step of producing a mineral fiber-insulating web involves the formation of mineral fibers from a mineral fiber forming melt which is produced in a furnace 30 and which is supplied from a spout 32 of the furnace 30 to a total of four rapidly rotating spinning-wheels 34 to which the mineral fiber forming melt is supplied as a mineral fiber forming melt stream 36.
  • a cooling gas stream is simultaneously supplied to the rapidly rotating spinning-wheels 34 in the axial direction thereof causing the formation of individual mineral fibers which are expelled or sprayed from the rapidly rotating spinning-wheels 34 as indicated by the reference numeral 38.
  • the mineral fiber spray 38 is collected on a continuously operated first conveyer belt 42 forming a primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40.
  • a heat-curable bonding agent is also added to the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 either directly to the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 or at the stage of expelling the mineral fibers from the spinning-wheels 34, i.e. at the stage of forming the individual mineral fibers.
  • the first conveyer belt 42 is, as is evident from Fig. 1 , composed of two conveyer belt sections. A first conveyer belt section which is sloping relative to the horizontal direction and relative to a second substantially horizontal conveyer belt section.
  • the first section constitutes a collector section
  • the second section constitutes a transport section by means of which the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 is transferred to a second and a third continuously operated conveyer belt designated the reference numeral 44 and 46, respectively, which are operated in synchronism with the first conveyer belt 42 sandwiching the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 between two adjacent surfaces of the second and third conveyer belts 44 and 46, respectively.
  • the second and third conveyer belts 44 and 46 communicate with a fourth conveyer belt 48 which constitutes a collector conveyer belt on which a secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 is collected as the second and third conveyer belts 44 and 46, respectively, are swung across the upper surface of the fourth conveyer belt 48 in the transversal direction relative to the fourth conveyer belt 48.
  • the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 is consequently produced by arranging the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 in overlapping relation generally in the transversal direction of the fourth conveyer belt 48.
  • the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 By producing the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 from the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 as disclosed in Fig. 1 , a more homogeneous secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 is produced as compared to the less homogeneous primary mineral fiber-insulating web.
  • the overall orientation of the mineral fibers of the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the web 40 and the direction of transportation of the first conveyer belt 42. Contrary to the primary mineral fiber-insulating web 40 the overall orientation of the mineral fibers of the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 is substantially perpendicular and transversal relative to the longitudinal direction of the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 and the direction of transportation of the fourth conveyer belt 48.
  • a station for compacting and homogenizing an input mineral fiber-insulating web 50' which station serves the purpose of compacting and homogenizing the input mineral fiber-insulating web 50' for producing an output mineral fiber-insulating web 50'', which output mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' is more compact and more homogeneous as compared to the input mineral fiber-insulating web 50'.
  • the input mineral fiber-insulating web 50' may constitute the secondary mineral fiber-insulating web 50 produced in the station shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the compacting station comprises two sections.
  • the first section comprises two conveyer belts 52" and 54", which are arranged at the upper side surface and the lower side surface, respectively, of the mineral fiber web 50'.
  • the first section basically constitutes a section in which the mineral fiber web 50' input to the section is exposed to a height compression, causing a reduction of the overall height of the mineral fiber web and a compacting of the mineral fiber web.
  • the conveyer belts 52" and 54" are consequently arranged in a manner, in which they slope from an input end at the left-hand side of Fig. 2 , at which input end the mineral fiber web 50' is input to the first section, towards an output end, from which the height-compressed mineral fiber web is delivered to the second section of the compacting station.
  • the second section of the compacting station comprises three sets of rollers 56' and 58', 56" and 58', and 56''' and 58'''.
  • the rollers 56', 56" and 56''' are arranged at the upper side surface of the mineral fiber web, whereas the rollers 58', 58'' and 58''' are arranged at the lower side surface of the mineral fiber web.
  • the second section of the compacting station provides a longitudinal compression of the mineral fiber web, which longitudinal compression produces a homogenization of the mineral fiber web, as the mineral fibers of the mineral fiber web are caused to be rearranged as compared to the initial structure into a more homogeneous structure.
  • the three sets of rollers 56' and 58', 56'' and 58", and 56''' and 58'' of the second section are rotated at the same rotational speed, which is, however, lower than the rotational speed of the conveyer belts 52" and 54" of the first section, causing the longitudinal compression of the mineral fiber web.
  • the height-compressed and longitudinally compressed mineral fiber web is output from the compacting station shown in Fig. 2 , designated the reference numeral 50".
  • the combined height-and-longitudinal-compression compacting station shown in Fig. 2 may be modified by the omission of one of the two sections, i.e. the first section constituting the height-compression section, or alternatively the second section constituting the longitudinal-compression section.
  • a compacting section performing a single compacting or compression operation is provided, such as a height-compressing station or alternatively a longitudinally-compressing station.
  • the height-compressing section has been described including conveyer belts
  • the longitudinally-compressing section has been described including rollers
  • both sections may be implemented by means of belts or rollers.
  • the height-compressing section may be implemented by means of rollers
  • the longitudinally-compressing section may be implemented by means of conveyer belts.
  • the mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' may constitute the output mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' shown in Fig. 2 , or alternatively the mineral fiber-insulating web 50 produced in the station shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the mineral fiber-insulating web 50" is brought into contact with a pressing roller 51, by means of which a continuous foil 99 of a thermoplastic material is applied to the upper side surface of the mineral fiber-insulating web 50''.
  • the continuous foil of the thermoplastic material is supplied from a roll 98.
  • the mineral fiber-insulating web 50" and the continuous foil 67 applied thereto are forced through a corrugated gate 60' which gate comprises two oppositely arranged, corrugated guide plates 64' and 66' and two oppositely arranged end walls, one of which is designated the reference numeral 62'.
  • the foil 99 has to be of an elasticity allowing that the foil 99 and the mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' are folded.
  • the end walls of the corrugated gate 60' and the corrugations of the corrugated gate plates 64' and 66' taper from an input end of the corrugated gate 60' to an output end thereof.
  • the mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' and the foil 99 applied thereto are forced through the corrugated gate 60', the mineral fiber-insulating web is folded in its longitudinal direction providing a corrugated and longitudinally folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50'''.
  • FIG. 4 an alternative technique of producing the corrugated and longitudinally folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50''' from the plane mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' is disclosed.
  • the technique disclosed in Fig. 4 differs from the technique described above with reference to Fig. 3 in that a gate 60'' is used, which gate 60'' differs from the corrugated gate 60'' shown in Fig. 3 in that the gate 60'' comprises plane oppositely arranged walls one of which is designated the reference numeral 64'' and curved end walls one of which is designated the reference numeral 62".
  • a further alternative technique of producing a longitudinally folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50''' from the plane mineral fiber-insulating web 50" is shown.
  • the corrugated and longitudinally folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50''' is in accordance with the technique shown in Fig. 5 produced by means of a roller assembly 60''' comprising plane end walls 62''' serving the same purpose as the plane end walls 62' and curved end walls 62'' shown in Figs. 3 and 4 , respectively, viz. the purpose of guiding the outer edges of the plane mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' to the corrugated and longitudinally folded configuration of the mineral fiber-insulating web 50'''.
  • the roller assembly 60''' further comprises a total of eight sets of rollers, each set of rollers containing two rollers arranged at opposite sides of the mineral fiber-insulating web.
  • two rollers are designated the reference numeral 68.
  • the sets of rollers define a tapered configuration tapering from an input end of the roller assembly 60''' to an output end thereof from which output end the corrugated and longitudinally folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50''' is supplied.
  • the tapered configuration serves the purpose of assisting the plane mineral fiber-insulating web 50'' to corrugate and longitudinally fold into the configuration of the folded mineral fiber-insulating web 50''' shown in Fig. 5 .
