Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of ensuring the flatness of a vane that is detachably mounted in a headbox by means of a mounting arrangement which includes a plurality of engagement members that are connected to the vane at its upstream end portion, and a longitudinal groove for receiving the engagement members of the vane, said groove having inner, downstream and upstream support walls, that face towards said engagement members for cooperation therewith, said vane being affected during operation by shearing forces caused by stock flowing along the vane, and by retaining forces exerted on the vane by the mounting arrangement.
  • the invention also relates to a headbox for delivering a jet of stock to a forming zone in a former for wet forming of a fiber web, including
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for detachably mounting a vane to an anchoring element of a turbulence generator of a headbox for delivering a jet of stock to a forming zone in a former for wet forming a fiber web, including
  • a known headbox of the type described above has engagement members in the form of oblong engagement bodies or engagement dowels arranged in a row at the upstream end portion of the vane, and extending in the cross machine direction.
  • the engagement dowels have parts protruding from the vane to cooperate with the support walls of the connection bar.
  • the vane is influenced during operation both by a shearing force in the machine direction, caused by stock flows along the vane, as well as a retaining force directed against the machine direction, exerted on the engagement dowels by the support wall situated downstream, the retaining force being intended during operation to be distributed uniformly between the engagement dowels.
  • the retaining force may be distributed non-uniformly between the engagement dowels so that the shearing force on the vane gives rise to local compressive stresses in the cross machine direction in the downstream end portion of the vane.
  • compressive stresses arise the vane buckles, making its downstream end portion uneven, which is not desirable, particularly at a separating-vane that separates two layers of stock, since good layering of stock is dependent on a flat separating-vane. If the separating-vane is not flat, streaks having a grammage different from the rest of the paper web may appear, for instance.
  • the above-mentioned compressive stresses may arise as a result of variations in the placing of the engagement dowels within a predetermined tolerance interval.
  • the placing of the engagement dowels within the tolerance interval may, for instance, deviate from an ideal placing in such a way that certain engagement dowels are downstream of the other engagement dowels, in which case the retaining force will be distributed in an uncontrolled manner between the engagement dowels, with the risk of compressive stresses appearing in the downstream end portion of the vane, resulting in buckling.
  • WO-A-99 45194 discloses an arrangement where the engagement dowels are yieldingly arranged in the vane. Each dowel can be displaced laterally when influenced by forces occurring at the support walls. If a dowel is misaligned this arrangement will facilitate the mounting of the vane and also to some extent distribute the retaining force on that dowel to the other dowels of the vane. However, the retaining force may still be distributed non-uniformly between the engagement dowels so that the shearing force on the vane gives rise to local compressive stresses in the cross machine direction in the downstream end portion of the vane, e.g. if an inner dowel is misaligned such that it is placed downstream of its neighbouring dowels.
  • Compressive stresses may also appear in a vane consisting of a plastic material, e.g. glassfiber-reinforced epoxy resin, and having reduced thickness in the machine direction so that the downstream end portion of the vane is relatively thin in relation to the upstream end portion.
  • a vane of plastic material absorbs water from the surroundings both during storage prior to mounting, and also after mounting in the headbox, when the vane absorbs liquid from the stocks.
  • the thinner downstream end portion of the vane will become saturated earlier than the thicker upstream end portion of the vane.
  • the downstream end portion As the downstream end portion becomes saturated in the direction away from the downstream edge, the downstream end portion lengthens in the cross machine direction, whereas the thicker, unsaturated upstream end portion of the vane retains its dimensions.
  • the object of the present invention is to essentially reduce the problems mentioned above and to provide a method which will efficiently ensure the flatness of a vane.
  • the method in accordance with the invention is characterized by mounting at least one outer engagement member or an outer group of two or more engagement members in the proximity of each side edge of the vane, and said two outer engagement members or said two outer groups of engagement members cooperating during operation for at least one specific period of time, as the only engagement members, with the downstream support wall to take up said shearing forces, whereby tensile stresses are arising in a downstream end portion of the vane in the cross machine direction.
  • the headbox and the mounting arrangement in accordance with the invention are characterized in that said plurality of engagement members include at least one outer engagement member or an outer group of two or more engagement members in the proximity of each side edge of the vane, said two outer engagement members or said two outer groups of engagement members are arranged during operation for at least one specific period of time, as the only engagement members, to cooperate with the downstream support wall to take up the shearing forces generated in the vane by the flowing stocks, and in that an inner area of the upstream end portion defined by the two outer engagement members and the two outer groups of engagement members, respectively, is free from engagement members or has inner engagement members which, at least in the unloaded state of the vane are located upstream of said downstream support wall so that the vane within and downstream of said inner area is arranged to be able to move freely in the machine direction in relation to said downstream support wall during said period of time or part thereof.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a headbox designed to deliver a three-layer jet of stock into a gap 1 leading to a forming zone in a twin wire former of roll type.
  • the twin wire former has an inner forming wire 2, a rotatable forming roll 3, an outer forming wire 4 and a rotatable breast roll 5.
  • the headbox has a turbulence generator including a group of turbulence channels 6 and a slice 7 arranged downstream of the turbulence channels 6 and containing a chamber 8 that converges from its upstream end in the direction of the flow of stock and terminates in a slice opening 9 at its downstream end.
  • the turbulence channels 6 are arranged in three sections for supplying three different stocks, for instance, into the slice chamber 8.
  • the lower section and the middle section each have two rows of turbulence channels 6 arranged close together, while the upper section has three such rows of turbulence channels 6.
  • the rows of turbulence channels 6 extend in the cross machine direction and adjacent rows of turbulence channels 6 are separated by elongate stable anchoring elements 10 extending in the cross machine direction.
  • the anchoring element 10 has an elongate, through engagement groove 11 (see Figure 2), with a side opening 12 facing the slice chamber 8.
  • the group of turbulence channels 6 is connected at its upstream end to a feeding system (not shown) comprising three stores of stock and suitable flow spreaders for uniform distribution of each stock to the rows of turbulence channels 6 in the associated section and uniform distribution of the stock within each row of turbulence channels 6.
  • the headbox has six vanes 14 which divide the slice chamber 8 into seven converging channels 15 communicating with the rows of turbulence channels 6.
  • Two of the vanes 14 constitute stock-separating vanes 14a that are arranged to separate the three stocks from each other and extend through the slice opening 9 a predetermined distance to form a jet which thus consists of three layers.
  • the stock-separating vanes 14a also have turbulence-generating function.
  • the other vanes are only turbulence vanes 14b having their free ends situated inside the slice chamber at a predetermined distance from the slice opening 9.
  • the vanes 14 are relatively rigid and may consist of a metal material, usually titanium, or a plastic material, usually glassfiber-reinforced or carbonfiber-reinforced epoxy resin.
  • the vanes 14 are sufficiently stiff to support various pressures and velocities of the flows of stock.
  • Each vane 14 is arranged to be detachably mounted to said anchoring element 10 by means of an mounting arrangement comprising an elongate structural element 16 and engagement members 22 arranged in the upstream end portion 21 of the vane 14.
  • the structural element 16 consists of a connection bar and the engagement members 22 of cylindrical engagement dowels (see Figure 2) disposed at right angles to the plane of the vane 14.
  • the connection bar 16, consisting of metal, e.g. bronze, is the same length as the width of the vane 14 and includes in the following order an engagement part 17 situated downstream, a flexible waist part 18, and an engagement part 19 situated upstream and forming a pivot.
  • the engagement part 17 is provided with an elongate, through groove 20 to receive the upstream end portion 21 of the vane 14 and its engagement dowels 22 to secure the vane 14 and connection bar 16 to each other, seen in the machine direction.
  • the groove 20 is provided with inner, opposing recesses 23, 24 with support walls 25 and 26, situated downstream and upstream, respectively, that are at right angles to the plane of the vane 14.
  • the engagement part 19, which has substantially circular cross section, is received in the engagement groove 11 of the anchoring element 10 to pivotally secure the connection bar 16 in machine direction.
  • Each engagement dowel 22 has opposing free end portions 27, 28 protruding from the flat sides of the vane 14.
  • the length of the engagement dowel 22 is somewhat less than the distance between the bottom surfaces of said inner recesses 23, 24.
  • the diameter of the engagement dowel 22 is somewhat less than the width of the recesses 23, 24.
  • FIGs 3-6 showing schematically one of the vanes 14 described above with respect to the attachment arrangement according to conventional technique.
  • the vane 14 has an upstream edge 29, a downstream edge 30 parallel therewith, and two parallel side edges 31, 32 parallel with each other which extend between the upstream and downstream edges.
  • the support walls 25, 26 shown in Figure 2 are illustrated in Figures 3-4 by two parallel, broken lines.
  • the engagement dowels 22 are placed with mutually identical distance from each other in a row as straight as possible within a predetermined first tolerance interval in relation to a line running parallel to and at a predetermined distance from the upstream edge 29 of the vane 14.
  • the support wall 25 situated downstream is made as straight as possible from end to end within a predetermined second tolerance interval.
  • the positions of the engagement dowels 22 in relation to the downstream support wall 25 may vary.
  • Figure 4 shows the vane 14, made of metal, during operation where shearing forces caused by the stocks flowing along the vane 14 press the engagement dowels 22 towards the downstream support wall 25.
  • the shearing forces act along the surfaces of the vane 14 and are illustrated in Figure 4 by downwardly directed force arrows designated F s .
  • the retaining forces exerted by the downstream support wall 25 on the engagement dowels 22 are illustrated by upwardly directed force arrows designated F r . Since, as can be seen in Figure 4, the initial position of the engagement dowel 22e is downstream of the other engagement dowels 22, the retaining force F r , acting on the engagement dowel 22e, is greater than the retaining forces F r acting on the adjacent engagement dowels 22. As a result of the loading that then arises, the vane 14 is subjected to a bending moment in machine direction, which is illustrated in Figure 4 by moment arrows denoted M b at both side edges 31, 32 of the vane 14.
  • the bending moment causes compressive stresses in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14, in the cross machine direction, illustrated in Figure 4 by tension arrows designated S t .
  • the compressive stresses S t buckle the vane 14, as illustrated in Figure 4 by the wave-shaped lines in the downstream end portion 33.
  • buckling may arise in a vane made of a moisture-absorbing plastic material and having narrowing thickness in the machine direction, as a result of the thinner, downstream end portion of the vane becoming saturated earlier than the thicker upstream end portion of the vane.
  • a vane 14 is described in the following with reference to Figures 5 and 6 where the vane 14 is shown in unloaded state after, for instance, a certain operating period when it has been in contact with the flowing stocks.
  • the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14 becomes saturated in the direction away from the downstream edge 30, the downstream end portion 33 becomes stretched in the cross machine direction, while the thicker, unsaturated upstream end portion 21 of the vane 14 retains its dimensions.
  • Figure 7 shows an unloaded vane 14 with parts of a mounting arrangement in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 8 shows the same vane 14 during operation.
  • the vane 14 is symmetrical with respect to its centre line 34, which coincides with the machine direction.
  • An outer engagement dowel 22a is arranged in the proximity of each side edge 31, 32 of the vane 14, for cooperation with the downstream support wall 25 during operation in order to take up the shearing forces F s , caused by the flowing stocks that load the vane 14.
  • An inner area or central part 35 of the upstream end portion 21 of the vane 14, that extends between the two outer engagement dowels 22a, is free from engagement dowels so that said inner area 35 of the vane 14 is arranged to be able to move freely in the machine direction in relation to the support wall 25, as is the upper part of the vane situated downstream of said inner area 35.
  • Said displacement may be caused by a change in the velocity of the stock flow or, if the vane 14 consists of a plastic material and has narrowing thickness in the machine direction, by altered tension conditions in the vane 14 as a result of swelling going on.
  • These tensile stresses are illustrated in Figure 8 by stress arrows denoted S d .
  • the displacement may arise during a first period of time which, for a metal vane, is calculated from the moment when the headbox starts to the moment when a specific machine speed has been reached. If the machine speed shall subsequently be increased a second period of time commences, extending between the first and second machine speeds.
  • a first period of time will extend from the moment when the flows of stock start flowing through the headbox up to the moment when the swelling of the vane is complete, whereupon the same or altered machine speeds can be used during this period of time.
  • a second period of time can be started extending up to the moment when a desired higher machine speed has been reached. Since there are no engagement dowels in the central area 35, the central area 35 of the vane can move freely forwards without other restrictions than the strength of the vane at the attachment locations for the outer engagement dowels 22a and the position of the downstream edge 30 which must not be such that the stock layering is affected unfavourably. In such an embodiment no compressive stresses can arise in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane.
  • Figure 9 shows an unloaded vane 14 with parts of a mounting arrangement in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention where three engagement dowels 22b, forming an outer group 36, are arranged in the proximity of each side edge 31, 32 of the vane 14.
  • the engagement dowels 22b are arranged adjacent each other in a row in the cross machine direction.
  • the inner area 35 of the upstream end portion 21 of the vane, extending between the two outer groups 36 is free from engagement dowels so that said inner area 35 of the vane 14, as well as the area downstream of this, are arranged to be able to move freely in the machine direction in relation to the downstream support wall 25.
  • the retaining forces F r and the shearing forces F s together create a bending moment M b as shown in Figure 10.
  • the bending moment M b bends the vane 14 in its plane, stretches the downstream edge 30 of the vane 14 and generates tensile stresses S d in the cross machine direction in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14.
  • the displacement arises under the same circumstances as those described for the vane in accordance with Figure 7.
  • FIG 11 shows an unloaded vane 14 with parts of a mounting arrangement in accordance with a third embodiment of the invention, which is more suitable for high stock-flow velocities than the embodiments described previously.
  • the vane 14 is provided with engagement dowels 22b, arranged in outer groups 36, as in the second embodiment described in connection with Figures 9 and 10, as well as engagement dowels 22c arranged in two inner groups 37 with three engagement dowels 22c in each group 37.
  • the inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22c are arranged at a predetermined distance from the outer groups 36.
  • Each inner group 37 of engagement dowels 22c is arranged at a predetermined distance from the downstream support wall 25, e.g. about 5 mm.
  • a first period of time commences with the stocks starting to flow through the headbox and finishes, e.g. when the inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22c come into contact with the downstream support wall 25 in that the inner area 35 has been displaced in the machine direction under the influence of the shearing forces F s from the stocks, whereupon the downstream edge 30 of the vane 14 is stretched and a tensile stress S d in the cross machine direction is built up in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14. At the end of the period of time the machine speed has a predetermined value.
  • each inner group 37 of engagement dowels 22c in relation to the downstream support wall 25 and to the outer group 36 of engagement dowels 22b is decisive for each stock flow rate.
  • the inner part-area 35a, defined by the inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22c moves forwards in machine direction, the movement being limited by the displaced position when there is a risk of compressive stresses appearing in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14.
  • the swelling phenomenon must also be taken into account in choosing maximum stock flow rate or machine speed and determining the positions of the inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22c.
  • the tensile stress that still exists in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane can be utilized to compensate the compressive stresses deriving from the swelling.
  • a suitable distance between two adjacent outer and inner groups 36, 37 may be about 2000 mm.
  • the inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22c may be situated about 5 mm from the downstream support wall 25, seen in unloaded state of the vane 14.
  • the engagement dowels in each group 36, 37 are preferably placed about 50 mm from each other.
  • each group 36, 37 it is preferable to arrange the engagement dowels 22b and 22c within each group 36, 37 so that the distance to the downstream support wall 25 increases in two adjacent engagement dowels in the direction from the closest side edge 31, 32, respectively, of the vane 14.
  • a suitable increase in this distance is about 0.1 mm.
  • the invention is not limited to three engagement dowels 22 in each group. More or fewer, e.g. two or four engagement dowels 22, may be used in each group. Neither is the invention limited to two inner groups 37 of engagement dowels 22. It is thus possible, for instance, to place additional inner groups of engagement dowels 22, spaced from the support wall 25, between the outer and inner groups 36, 37.
  • Figure 13 shows an unloaded vane 14 with parts of a mounting arrangement in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the invention, the engagement dowels 22 being arranged in a row along a curved line extending between the side edges 31, 32 and symmetrical about the centre line 34.
  • the engagement dowels 22 are arranged with uniform spacing but in accordance with an alternative embodiment (not shown) the spaces may be different and distributed in a regular pattern, e.g. groups of engagement dowels with equal distance between them within the group and equal but greater distance between the groups.
  • a certain number e.g.
  • engagement dowels situated nearest a side edge 31, 32 may be considered to be included in an outer group of engagement dowels, whereas the other engagement dowels may be considered to constitute separate inner engagement dowels situated one after the other, or to form inner groups of engagement dowels, depending on the shape of the curved line and the distance between the engagement dowels as mentioned above.
  • a period of time commences at the moment when the stocks start flowing through the headbox and extends to the moment when the engagement dowels 22 closest to the centre line 34 also come into contact with the downstream support wall 25 as a result of the influence of the shearing forces F s from the stocks, whereupon the downstream edge 30 is stretched and a tensile force S d in the cross machine direction is built up in the downstream end portion during this period of time, as illustrated in Figure 14.
  • the vane consists of a plastic material, is narrowing and can no longer be moved forwards within the central area, there may be such a large excess of tensile stress in the downstream end portion at the end of said period of time that remaining swelling gives compressive stresses that are balanced by said excess of tensile stress. If the tensile stress decreases to zero and the vane is still not saturated, i.e. the swelling is going on, said maximum machine speed must be reduced in a corresponding degree.
  • the engagement dowels are arranged in a row along a curved line which, when the vane is unloaded, has a certain extension in the machine direction.
  • the inner engagement dowels situated nearest the centre line of the vane will cooperate with the support wall situated upstream of the groove and will absorb support forces therefrom.
  • the support forces will bend the vane in its plane, stretch the downstream edge of the vane and generate tensile stresses in the cross machine direction in the downstream end portion of the vane. These tensile stresses ensure that the vane is flat right at the start-up phase of the headbox, i.e. before the stocks have had time to influence the vane.
  • this downstream edge may be pre-shaped to an extent equivalent to the displacement the vane is able to perform until the flows of stock act with a constant shearing force at said machine speed and/or the vane is completely saturated, when this consists of a plastic material and has narrowing thickness.
  • Figures 13 and 14 illustrate a vane having such a pre-shaped concave downstream edge 30 with the same curvature as the curved line along which the engagement dowels 22 are arranged. The concave downstream edge 30 is then stretched to straight form upon said loading of the vane.
  • the side edges 31, 32 have also been pre-shaped to incline in relation to the centre line 34.
  • the inner engagement dowels are arranged along a straight line in which the outer engagement dowels or the outer groups of engagement dowels are situated, in which case the downstream support wall is designed with small recesses or with sections of larger recesses or with a predetermined concave shape, e.g. circular arc-shaped, thereby enabling free displacement of the vane even in this mirror-image relationship. It is also possible to give the downstream end wall a concave shape with a predetermined first radius, and arrange the engagement dowels along a curved line with a predetermined second radius that is larger than said first radius.
  • buckling of the vane 14 is avoided by arranging one or more engagement dowels 22 in the proximity of the side edges 31, 32 of the vane 14 in order, as substantially the only engagement dowels 22 and at least during a limited period of time, to cooperate with the support wall 25 situated downstream in order to take up said shearing forces, while at the same time the inner area 35 of the upstream end portion 21 of the vane 14 can move freely, i.e. without influence from outer retaining forces from engagement dowels, in the machine direction in relation to the downstream support wall 25 during said period of time or part thereof.
  • the engagement dowels 22 By arranging the engagement dowels 22 in the manner described above they create, during operation, shearing forces P s acting on the vane 14, together with the retaining forces F r acting on the engagement dowels 22 a bending moment M b , which under normal operating conditions always bends the vane 14 in its plane and generates tensile stresses S d in the cross machine direction in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14.
  • the placing of the engagement dowels 22 in accordance with the principle of the invention prevents that the compressive stresses described previously will arise in the downstream end portion 33 of the vane 14.
  • a characteristic feature of the invention is thus that compressive stresses are prevented in the vane, which compressive stresses may cause the vane to buckle so that the stock layering may be affected in an unfavourable manner.
  • engagement members in the form of engagement dowels 22.
  • the invention can be realized with other types of engagement members.
  • the engagement members being designed as a plurality of discrete elements such as engagement dowels, they may consist of a continuous engagement element cooperating with said downstream support wall in accordance with the principles of the invention.
  • the vane 14 may be attached directly to the anchoring element 10, for instance, which then has the same function as the elongate connection bar 16 and has a groove with support walls similar to that in the connection bar.
