The jet chambers are esp. are all or partly of different length (S). The maximum length of each jet chamber is approx. 800 mm. The minimum jet chamber length is pref. 300 mm. The discharge unit (10) is designed for e.g. three layers of paper, the outer chambers (12, 14) are of the same length but are longer than the inner chamber (16). The middle jet (16) incorporates an extended centre-section (36) which is positioned between two vortex generators (34', 34).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mehrschicht-Stoffauflauf für eine Papiermaschine, mit mehreren Düsenräumen, die jeweils einer der verschiedenen Schichten zugeordneten sind und in denen jeweils ein der betreffenden Schicht zugeordneter Teilsuspensionsstrom bis zu einem am Düsenraumende vorgesehenen Austrittsspalt geführt ist. Ein solcher Mehrschicht-Stoffauflauf ist beispielsweise aus der EP 0 581 051 B1 bekannt.The invention relates to a multi-layer headbox for a paper machine, with several nozzle spaces, each assigned to one of the different layers are and in each of which a partial suspension flow assigned to the relevant layer up to an outlet gap provided at the end of the nozzle space is led. Such a multi-layer headbox is, for example, from EP 0 581 051 B1 known.

Mehrschicht-Stoffaufläufe werden bisher mit annähernd gleichen Düsenlängen pro Schicht gebaut. Längenunterschiede, die sich konstruktiv ergeben, liegen deutlich unter 1 % der angegebenen Düsenlänge.Multi-layer headboxes have so far been used with approximately the same nozzle lengths Layer built. There are clear differences in length that result from the design less than 1% of the specified nozzle length.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, einen verbesserten Mehrschicht-Stoffauflauf der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen.The aim of the invention is to provide an improved multi-layer headbox to create the kind mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Düsenräume zumindest teilweise eine unterschiedliche in Strömungsrichtung gemessene Länge besitzen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the nozzle spaces at least partially a different length measured in the direction of flow have.

Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung werden in dem Mehrschicht-Stoffauflauf die technologischen Vorteile der langen Düsen mit denen der kurzen Düsen miteinander kombiniert. Es versteht sich, dass die betreffenden Längenunterschiede der Düsenräume über die eingangs erwähnten, sich konstruktiv ergebenden Längenunterschiede hinausgehen. Because of this training, the technological in the multi-layer headbox Advantages of the long nozzles with those of the short nozzles with each other combined. It is understood that the length differences in question Nozzle spaces over the length differences mentioned above, which result from the design go out.

Die maximale Düsenraumlänge beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 800 mm. Es ergibt sich nämlich eine deutliche Verbesserung der Strahlstabilität mit steigender Düsenlänge bis ca. 800 mm.The maximum nozzle space length is preferably about 800 mm. It follows namely a significant improvement in jet stability with increasing nozzle length up to approx. 800 mm.

Die minimale Düsenraumlänge ist zweckmäßigerweise kleiner oder gleich 400 mm, insbesondere kleiner oder gleich 350 mm und vorzugsweise etwa gleich 300 mm. Kurze Düsen generieren höhere Turbulenzen als lange Düsen. Mit kurzen Düsen kann ein deutlich niedrigeres Reißlängenverhältnis und damit eine höhere Querfestigkeit erzielt werden.The minimum nozzle space length is expediently less than or equal to 400 mm, in particular less than or equal to 350 mm and preferably approximately equal to 300 mm. Short nozzles generate higher turbulence than long nozzles. With short Nozzles can have a significantly lower tear length ratio and thus a higher one Cross strength can be achieved.

Eine bevorzugte zweckmäßige Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Mehrschicht-Stoffauflaufs zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er für zumindest drei Schichten auslegt ist und dass die den beiden Außenschichten zugeordneten Düsenräume eine größere Länge besitzen als zumindest ein einer mittleren Schicht zugeordneter Düsenraum. Dabei können die den beiden Außenschichten zugeordneten Düsenräume insbesondere eine gleiche Länge besitzen.A preferred expedient embodiment of the multilayer headbox according to the invention is characterized by the fact that it is for at least three Layers is designed and that the assigned to the two outer layers Nozzle spaces have a greater length than at least one of a medium size Layer assigned nozzle area. The two outer layers assigned nozzle spaces in particular have the same length.

Ein solcher für zumindest drei Schichten ausgelegter Stoffauflauf kann vorteilhafterweise insbesondere in Verbindung mit einem Gapformer eingesetzt werden.Such a headbox designed for at least three layers can advantageously can be used especially in connection with a gap former.

Die Längendifferenz zwischen unterschiedlich langen Düsenräumen kann vorteilhafterweise durch eine in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet zwischen dem jeweils kürzeren Düsenraum und dem betreffenden Querstromverteiler angeordnete Zwischenkammer überbrückt werden. Die Zwischenkammer kann in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet insbesondere zwischen zwei Turbulenzerzeugerabschnitten angeordnet sein.The length difference between differently long nozzle spaces can advantageously viewed in the direction of flow between each shorter nozzle space and the relevant cross-flow distributor arranged Intermediate chamber can be bridged. The intermediate chamber can flow considered in particular between two turbulence generator sections be arranged.

Grundsätzlich ist jedoch auch eine solche Ausführungsform denkbar, bei der die den verschiedenen Schichten zugeordneten Querstromverteiler entsprechend einer jeweiligen Längendifferenz zwischen unterschiedlich langen Düsenräumen in Strömungsrichtung gegeneinander versetzt sind.In principle, however, such an embodiment is also conceivable in which the the cross-flow distributors assigned to the various layers a respective length difference between differently long nozzle spaces in Flow direction are offset from each other.

So ist beispielsweise ein Dreischicht-Stoffauflauf an einem Gapformer oder dergleichen denkbar, der beispielsweise mit zwei langen Düsen für die Außenschichten und einer kurzen Düse für die Mittelschicht versehen ist. Die turbulenter erzeugte Mittelschicht hält das Gesamt-L/Q-Verhältnis niedrig und sorgt für eine hohe Querfestigkeit. Infolge der Erzeugung der Außenschichten mit langen Düsen werden eine gute Abdeckung sowie eine optimale Formation erreicht.For example, there is a three-layer headbox on a gap former or the like conceivable, for example, with two long nozzles for the outer layers and a short nozzle for the middle layer. The more turbulent generated middle class keeps the overall L / Q ratio low and ensures a high transverse strength. As a result of the creation of the outer layers with long nozzles good coverage and optimal formation are achieved.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Stoffauflauf als Zweischicht-Stoffauflauf ausgeführt, wobei die den beiden Schichten zugeordneten Düsenräume eine unterschiedliche in Strömungsrichtung gemessene Länge besitzen. Dabei sind vorzugsweise der längere Düsenraum einer Deckenschicht und der kürzere Düsenraum einer Rückenschicht zugeordnet. Der Rücken wird also mit kurzer und die Decke mit langer Düse produziert. Der Rücken wird in diesem Fall mit niedrigem L/Q-Verhältnis und die Decke mit einem optimalen Strahl für eine gute Abdeckung und Formation gefahren.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the headbox is a two-layer headbox executed, the assigned to the two layers Nozzle spaces a different length measured in the direction of flow have. The longer nozzle space of a ceiling layer is preferred and the shorter nozzle space is assigned to a back layer. The back will with a short nozzle and the ceiling with a long nozzle. The back is in this case with a low L / Q ratio and the ceiling with an optimal one Beam driven for good coverage and formation.

Die den beiden verschiedenen Schichten zugeordneten Querstromverteiler können entsprechend der Längendifferenz zwischen den beiden unterschiedlich langen Düsenräumen in Strömungsrichtung gegeneinander versetzt sein. Die Längendifferenz kann jedoch beispielsweise auch wieder durch eine in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet zwischen dem kürzeren Düsenraum und dem betreffenden Querstromverteiler angeordnete Zwischenkammer überbrückt werden. Eine solche Zwischenkammer kann insbesondere wieder in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet zwischen zwei Turbulenzerzeugerabschnitten angeordnet sein.The cross flow distributors assigned to the two different layers can according to the difference in length between the two long nozzle spaces in the direction of flow against each other. The However, the length difference can also be caused, for example, by one in the direction of flow considered between the shorter nozzle space and the one in question Cross-flow distributor arranged intermediate chamber are bridged. A such an intermediate chamber can in particular be viewed again in the direction of flow be arranged between two turbulence generator sections.

The invention is explained below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing; in this show:
Figure 1

Figur 1 zeigt in schematischer Schnittdarstellung einen Dreischicht-Stoffauflauf 10 mit zwei den beiden Außenschichten zugeordneten längeren Düsenräumen 12, 14 und einem im Vergleich dazu deutlich kürzeren Düsenraum 16 für die mittlere Schicht. Wie anhand der Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, ist im vorliegenden Fall der mittlere Düsenraum 16 etwa um 1/3 kürzer als die beiden äußeren Düsenräume 12, 14.FIG. 1 shows a three-layer headbox 10 in a schematic sectional illustration with two longer nozzle spaces 12, 14 assigned to the two outer layers and a much shorter nozzle space 16 for the middle one Layer. As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the present case the middle nozzle space 16 about 1/3 shorter than the two outer nozzle spaces 12, 14.

In den Düsenräumen 12 - 16 werden die betreffenden Teilsuspensionsströme jeweils bis zu einem am Düsenraumende vorgesehenen Austrittsspalt 18 - 22 geführt.The relevant partial suspension flows are in the nozzle spaces 12-16 in each case up to an outlet gap 18-22 provided at the end of the nozzle space guided.

Zwischen den Düsenräumen 12 - 16 und den der jeweiligen Schicht zugeordneten Querstromverteilern kann jeweils ein Turbulenzerzeuger 30 - 34 vorgesehen sein. Between the nozzle spaces 12-16 and those assigned to the respective layer A turbulence generator 30-34 can be provided in each case for cross-flow distributors.

Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Längendifferenz zwischen den unterschiedlich langen Düsenräumen 12 - 16 durch eine Zwischenkammer 36 überbrückt, die in Strömungsrichtung S betrachtet zwischen dem für die mittlere Schicht bestimmten Querstromverteiler 28 und dem zugeordneten Düsenraum 16 angeordnet ist.In the present case, the difference in length between the different lengths Nozzle spaces 12 - 16 bridged by an intermediate chamber 36, which is in the direction of flow S considered between that determined for the middle layer Cross flow distributor 28 and the associated nozzle space 16 is arranged.

Die maximale Düsenraumlänge kann beispielsweise etwa 800 mm betragen. Die minimale Düsenraumlänge ist beispielsweise kleiner oder gleich 400 mm, insbesondere kleiner oder gleich 350 mm und vorzugsweise etwa gleich 300 mm.The maximum nozzle space length can be approximately 800 mm, for example. The Minimum nozzle space length is, for example, less than or equal to 400 mm, in particular less than or equal to 350 mm and preferably approximately equal to 300 mm.

Die Zwischenkammer 36 ist im vorliegenden Fall zwischen zwei Turbulenzerzeugerabschnitten 34', 34" angeordnet.The intermediate chamber 36 is between two turbulence generator sections in the present case 34 ', 34 "arranged.

Ein solcher Mehrschicht-Stoffauflauf 10 kann insbesondere in Verbindung mit einem Gapformer eingesetzt werden.Such a multi-layer headbox 10 can be used in particular in conjunction with a gap former can be used.

Figur 2 zeigt in schematischer Schnittdarstellung einen mit dem der Figur 1 vergleichbaren Dreischicht-Stoffauflauf 10 mit zwei den beiden Außenschichten zugeordneten längeren Düsenräumen 12, 14 und einem im Vergleich dazu deutlich kürzeren Düsenraum 16 für die mittlere Schicht. Dieser Dreischicht-Stoffauflauf 10 unterscheidet sich von dem der Figur 1 lediglich dadurch, dass hier die Zwischenkammer fehlt und stattdessen die den verschiedenen Schichten zugeordneten Querstromverteiler 24- 28 entsprechend der Längedifferenz zwischen dem kürzeren mittleren Düsenraum 16 einerseits und den beiden längeren Düsenräumen 12, 14 andererseits in Strömungsrichtung S gegeneinander versetzt sind. In der Figur 2 ist der mittlere Querstromverteiler also gegenüber den beiden äußeren Querstromverteilern 24, 26 nach links, d.h. zu den Austrittsspalten 18 - 22 hin versetzt. Zwischen dem Querstromverteiler 28 und dem Düsenraum 16 ist im vorliegenden Fall also nur ein einziger Turbulenzerzeuger 34 vorgesehen. Figure 2 shows a schematic sectional view of a comparable to that of Figure 1 Three-layer headbox 10 with two of the two outer layers assigned longer nozzle spaces 12, 14 and one in comparison clearly shorter nozzle space 16 for the middle layer. This three-layer headbox 10 differs from that of FIG. 1 only in that here the intermediate chamber is missing and instead the different layers assigned cross-flow distributor 24-28 according to the length difference between the shorter middle nozzle chamber 16 on the one hand and the two longer ones On the other hand, nozzle spaces 12, 14 are offset from one another in the flow direction S. are. In FIG. 2, the middle cross-flow distributor is therefore opposite the two outer cross-flow distributors 24, 26 to the left, i.e. to the exit columns 18 - 22 offset. Is between the cross flow distributor 28 and the nozzle chamber 16 in the present case, therefore, only a single turbulence generator 34 is provided.

Im übrigen besitzt dieser Dreischicht-Stoffauflauf 10 zumindest im wesentlichen wieder den gleichen Aufbau wie der der Figur 1. Einander entsprechenden Teilen sind gleiche Bezugszeichen zugeordnet.Otherwise, this three-layer headbox 10 has at least essentially again the same structure as that of Figure 1. Corresponding parts are assigned the same reference numerals.

Bei den zuvor beschriebenen Dreischicht-Stoffaufläufen hält die turbulenter erzeugte Mittelschicht das Gesamt-L/Q-Verhältnis niedrig und sorgt für eine hohe Querfestigkeit. Mit der Erzeugung der Außenschichten durch lange Düsen werden eine gute Abdeckung und eine optimale Formation erzielt.In the three-layer headboxes described above, the more turbulent one produced Middle class the overall L / Q ratio low and ensures a high Transverse strength. With the creation of the outer layers through long nozzles good coverage and optimal formation.

Ähnlich kann z.B. auch ein Zweischicht-Stoffauflauf ausgeführt sein.Similarly, e.g. also be a two-layer headbox.

Figur 3 zeigt in schematischer Schnittdarstellung einen solchen Zweischicht-Stoffauflauf 38, bei dem die den beiden Schichten zugeordneten Düsenräume 40, 42 eine unterschiedliche in Strömungsrichtung S gemessene Länge besitzen. Der Rücken wird mit der den kürzeren Düsenraum 40 aufweisenden Düse und die Decke mit der den längeren Düsenraum 42 aufweisenden Düse produziert.Figure 3 shows a schematic sectional view of such a two-layer headbox 38, in which the nozzle spaces 40, 42 have a different length measured in the flow direction S. The Back is with the shorter nozzle space 40 and the nozzle Cover produced with the nozzle having the longer nozzle space 42.

Der Rücken wird im vorliegenden Fall also mit einem relativ niedrigem L/Q-Verhältnis produziert, während die Decke mit einem optimalen Strahl für eine gute Abdeckung und Formation gefahren wird.The back in the present case is therefore with a relatively low L / Q ratio produced while the ceiling with an optimal beam for good Cover and formation is driven.

In Strömungsrichtung S zwischen den Strömungsräumen 40, 42 und den zugeordneten Querstromverteilern 44, 46 kann jeweils beispielsweise wieder ein Turbulenzerzeuger 48 bzw. 50 vorgesehen sein. In the flow direction S between the flow spaces 40, 42 and the associated Cross-flow distributors 44, 46 can each again be a turbulence generator, for example 48 or 50 may be provided.
