Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper machine for papermaking and particularly to a structure of a press part for pressing a wet web formed in a wire part to dewater the wet web and a dryer part for drying the wet web dewatered in the press part.
  • a no-open-draw paper machine in which a wet web is transferred from the former to the press unit, always being supported by a press felt, an impervious transfer belt, or a dryer canvas (a DRY felt).
  • a no-open-draw paper machine is a paper machine having no open draw, that is, a state in which a wet web is never transferred in the air freely without being supported.
  • the no-open-draw structure can minimize air resistance to a wet web during transfer so that the wet web can be sufficiently protected from tearing even when a paper machine is working at high speed.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a side view between the last press and the first dryer group of the paper machine appearing, in publications of USPN 5,951,821 and USPN 5,792,320.
  • a web formed by a non-illustrated former is pressed by a press 101 upstream to be dewatered and then sent to the last press 102.
  • a top felt belt 102a made of water-absorbing felt runs around a suction pick-up roll 102b and atop press roll 102c.
  • an impervious belt 102d made of an impervious material runs around a bottom roll 102e and other rolls.
  • a wet web 120 sent from the upstream presses 101 is sucked by the suction pick-up roll 102b to adhere to the top felt belt 102a and then transferred by the top felt belt 102a to be introduced to the last press 102. Both surfaces of the wet web 120 are pressed through the nip between the top press roll 102c and the bottom press roll 102e to be dewatered, and water drained off from the wet web 120 is absorbed by the top felt belt 102a.
  • a dryer part 103 is installed downstream of the last press 102.
  • a wet web 120 which has been transferred on the impervious belt 102d, is sucked by a suction pick-up roll 103b thereby clinging to a dryer canvas 103a.
  • a suction box 104 arranged at the inside of the loop-shaped canvas 103a sucks the wet web 120, which clings to the canvas 103a.
  • the canvas 103a transfers the wet web 120 to a first dryer cylinder 103e.
  • the wet web 120 is turned by a turning roll 103f and then transferred to a second dryer cylinder 103g.
  • the wet web is alternately transferred downstream along a dryer cylinder and a turning roll, which do not appear in the drawing. While the wet web 120 is transferred along the dryer cylinders and the turning rolls, the wet web 120 gradually becomes dried by being pressed by the dryer canvas 103a.
  • transfer speed of the suction pick-up roll 103b is set to be higher than the transfer speed of the wet web 120 from the last press 102 so that the wet web 120 is drawn between the suction pick-up roll 103b and the last press 102 in order to absorb the elongation of the wet web 120.
  • elongation (slackness) of the wet web 120 on the dryer canvas is mainly classified into first longitudinal elongation caused when the dryer canvas 103a disengages from the first dryer cylinder 103e and second longitudinal elongation caused when the wet web 120 is dried by contacting with the dryer cylinders (especially, the second dryer cylinder).
  • first longitudinal elongation caused when the dryer canvas 103a disengages from the first dryer cylinder 103e
  • second longitudinal elongation caused when the wet web 120 is dried by contacting with the dryer cylinders (especially, the second dryer cylinder).
  • the wet web 120 received by the suction pick-up roll 103b is sent to downstream dryer cylinders 103e, 103g... in succession to be pressed onto the outer surfaces of the dryer cylinders 103e, 103g... by the dryer canvas 103a.
  • the outer surfaces of the dryer cylinders 103e, 103g... are smooth enough to allow the wet web 10 to cling to the outer surfaces because of the presence of water, paper dust and sticky materials (hereinafter called water and so forth) on the surface of the wet web 120.
  • the wet web 120 clings to the outer of the dryer cylinders 103e, 103g.... Above all, since a larger amount of water and so forth adheres to the outer surface of the first dryer cylinder 103e, the wet web 120 tends to cling to the outer surface of the first dryer cylinder 103e with ease.
  • the adhesive force of the wet web 120 overcomes the centrifugal force thereof and the wet web 120 adheres to and is transferred together with the outer surface of the first dryer cylinder 103e as the broken line of FIG. 3 shows.
  • the tension of the portion gradually increases to disengage the wet web 120 from the first dryer cylinder 103e.
  • the wet web 120 generates elongation, that is first longitudinal elongation.
  • a pressure difference generating apparatus (exemplified by a suction box) 105 is installed near to the separation point A of the first dryer cylinder 103e, facing the wet web interposed by the dryer canvas 103a.
  • the pressure difference generating apparatus 105 sucks the wet web 120 onto the dryer canvas 103a so that the wet web 120 is inhibited from adhering to the first dryer cylinder 103e after the separation point A.
  • a paper-separation doctor 106 and an air jet 106a are disposed downstream of the separation point A in the rotational direction of the cylinder so as to face the first dryer cylinder 103e.
  • the tip of the paper-separation doctor 106 and air jetted from the air jet 106a extricate the wet web 120 adhered- to the outer cylinder surface from the surface.
  • the turning roll 103f to guide the wet web 120 from the first dryer cylinder 103e to the second dryer cylinder 103g generates a negative pressure around the surface thereof so that the centrifugal force of the wet web 120 running around the turning roll 103f does not disengage the wet web 120 from the turning roll 103f, thereby avoiding attachment of the wet web 120 to the first dryer cylinder 103e.
  • the wet web 120 As the wet web 120 is drying as the wet web 120 proceeds through the dryer part, progressing reductions in viscosity of the water on the wet-web surface and in amount of the sticky materials cause a sudden decline of the adhesive force of the wet web 120 to the outer surface of a dryer cylinder. As a result, at the second and its downstream dryer cylinders, the wet web 120 generates slight first longitudinal elongation due to adhering to the outer surfaces of these cylinders.
  • the second longitudinal elongation is caused by expansion of water contained in the wet web 120, which water is heated as the wet web 120 is transferred in contact with the dryer cylinders 103e and 103g.
  • such longitudinal elongation is generated to a larger degree at the second dryer cylinder 103g and downstream dryer cylinders thereof than at the first dryer cylinder 103e. This is because the wet web 120 being transferred along the first dryer cylinder 103e is not heated to so high a temperature that the water contained in the wet web 120 does not expand very much while the wet web 120 being transferred along the second and downstream dryer cylinders 103g... is heated to so high a temperature that the water in the wet web 120 expands a lot.
  • the longitudinal elongation caused by expansion of contained water is called the second longitudinal elongation, which is largely generated on the wet web 120 when transferred along the second dryer cylinder 103g while the first longitudinal elongation is generated mainly at the first dryer cylinder 103e.
  • the wet web 120 When the wet web 120 has passed only several dryer cylinders, the wet web 120 generates such first and second longitudinal elongation and thereby goes slack on the dryer canvas 103a. If a slack portion of the wet web 120 is pressed onto a dryer cylinder, creases are made on the portion of the wet web 120 and stress concentration on a folding line of the creases is enough to tear the wet web 120.
  • USPN 5,888,354 discloses a technique enable to inhibit slackness caused by the first longitudinal elongation.
  • the technique has no open draw between a former (not shown) and a first dryer cylinder 202a, and elongation of a wet web 120 caused during a pressing and dewatering process performed in a press part including a last press 201a and other elements is taken in by transferring the wet web 120 at different speeds in the press part so as to draw the wet web 120.
  • a felt belt 201c used for the last press 201a is stretched to the first dryer cylinder 202a, and a dryer canvas 202b runs around a second dryer cylinder 202d and a turning roll 202c.
  • the technique does not release elongation of the wet web 120 in the transfer direction, which elongation is caused at the last press 201a generating the highest dewatering pressure (nip pressure), immediately downstream of the nip.
  • Microcorrugation is therefore generated on the wet web 120 and the wet web 120, with compressive strain caused by the microcorrugation, is set to the first dryer cylinder 202a.
  • the separation point at which the wet web 120 starts disengaging from the outer surface of the first dryer cylinder 202a between the points C and D varies based on various conditions, such as a centrifugal force acting on the wet web 120, the adhesive force and/or a compression strain amount of the wet web 120, and/or a nip pressure between the first dryer cylinder 202a and a nip roll 201b.
  • Slackness due to disengagement of the wet web 120 is unstable in behavior and causes tearing to make stable high-speed working of a paper machine difficult.
  • the speed of the first dryer cylinder 202a is set to be higher than that of the last press 201a (in other words, the wet web 120 is drawn (stretched so as not become slack) therebetween), so that the compressive strain generated on the wet web 120 downstream from the last press 201a and the resultant slackness of the wet web 120 caused between the point C and D are removed.
  • the nip between the nip roll 201b and the first dryer cylinder 202a has to be released by departing the nip roll 201b from the first dryer cylinder 202a and the nip pressure has to be reduced by reducing pressure of the nip roll 201b applied to the first dryer cylinder 202a.
  • pressure of the felt belt 201c applied to the wet web 120 with respect to the first dryer cylinder 202a becomes inadequate and stable transfer of the wet web 120 to the first dryer cylinder 202a cannot be realized.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a paper machine that prevents wet web from going slack in order to stably work at a high speed.
  • a paper machine comprising: a plurality of belt mechanisms for transferring a wet web which is formed by a wire part, each of the belt mechanisms having a belt for supporting the wet web and a driving unit for driving the belt together with the wet web; a press part including one or more press units, arranged along a transfer path of the web, for pressing the wet web so that the wet web is dewatered; and a dryer part including a plurality of dryer units, arranged along the transfer path of the wet web, for drying the wet web, which has been dewatered in the press part, by heat; wherein a last press unit, that is the most downstream one of the one or more press units along the transfer path of the wet web in the press part, a first dryer unit, that is the most upstream one of the plural dryer units along the transfer path of the wet web in the dryer part, and a second dryer unit, that is the second upstream one of the plural dryer units along the transfer path of the wet web
  • the transfer speed of the wet web along the first dryer unit may be set to be higher than the transfer speed of the wet web along the last press unit; and the transfer speed of the wet web along the second dryer unit may be set to be higher than the transfer speed along the first dryer unit.
  • the transfer speed of the wet web along the first dryer unit may be set to be higher than the transfer speed of the wet web along the last press unit by a factor equal to or less than 1.04.
  • the transfer speed of the wet web along the second dryer unit may be higher than the transfer speed of the wet web along the first dryer unit by a factor equal to or less than 1.01.

  • V 1 which is set to be higher than the speed V 0 of the last press traveling (i.e., the traveling speed of the top and bottom felt belts 18 and 19) by a factor equal to or less than 1.04 (i.e., V 0 ⁇ V 1 ⁇ 1.04V 0 ), concerning longitudinal elongation (approximately 3%) of the wet web 10 caused at the last press so that the wet web 10 can be drawn between the last
  • a driving unit able to set the traveling speed of the canvas 22a in the above range is selected as the driving unit (a motor to rotationally drive the suction pick-up roll 23 or the first dryer cylinder 25a) to drive the canvas 22a.
  • a speed V 1 in excess of 1.04 times V 0 causes the wet web 10 to be excessively drawn, lowering the stiffness of the wet web 10. Excessive drawing may be a cause of tearing of the wet web 10 in a downstream dryer cylinder and make it difficult to work the paper machine at a high speed. Therefore the speed V 1 is preferably higher than the speed V 0 by a factor equal to or less than 1.03.
  • the speed V 2 of the canvas 22b traveling along the second and third dryer cylinder 25b and 25c is set to be higher than the speed V 1 , for example, by a factor equal to or less than 1.01 (i.e., V 1 ⁇ V 2 ⁇ 1.01V 1 ), concerning a possible first longitudinal elongation (equal- to or less than 1%, normally 0.5%), which has been referred to as a problem in conventional techniques, so that the wet web 10 can be drawn between the first dryer cylinder 25a and the second dryer cylinder 25b.
  • a driving unit able to set the traveling speed of the canvas 22b in the above range is selected as the driving unit (a motor to rotationally drive one of the wet-web turning rolls 23a and 23b and the dryer cylinders 25b and 25c) to drive the canvas 22b.
  • the fourth dryer cylinder 25d is associated with a belt mechanism different from that associated with the second and third dryer cylinders 25b and 25c, as described above.
  • This can individually set a traveling speed for each of the canvas 22b (for the second and third dryer cylinders 25b and 25c) and the canvas 22c (for the fourth dryer cylinder 25d) to move at.
  • it is possible to set individual speeds of the wet web 10 along both the second and the third dryer cylinders 25b and 25c and along the fourth dryer cylinder 25d, respectively.
  • the temperature of a wet web sharply rises while a wet web is transferred along several drier cylinders upstream in the dryer part Z and then the wet web attains equilibrium at approximately 80°C . After that, the remaining water in the wet web is evaporated at a constant temperature. Assuming that the temperature of the wet web 10 is 20°C when entering the dryer part Z, the coefficient of expansion of the water is approximately 2.7% if the water temperature rises from 20°C to 80°C. The degree of expansion differs according to the direction because of orientation of wet-web fibers. On the assumption that the wet web uniformly expands in every direction, the coefficient of expansion is converted into the coefficient of linear expansion of approximately 1%. In other words, the second longitudinal elongation of the wet web 10 is approximately 1%.
  • the speed V 3 of the canvas 22c traveling along the fourth dryer cylinder 25d is set to be approximately 1.01 times as high as the speed V 2 of the upstream canvas 22b.
  • a driving unit able to set the traveling speed V 3 of the canvas 22c is selected as the driving unit (e.g., a motor for rotationally driving the third drier cylinder 25c) for driving the canvas 22c.
  • each dryer cylinder is preferably associated with a dedicated canvas loop and a dedicated driving source to drive the dedicated canvas loop (that is, an individual belt mechanism is preferably provided for a dedicated one of the dryer cylinders).
  • a dedicated driving source to drive the dedicated canvas loop
  • an individual belt mechanism is preferably provided for a dedicated one of the dryer cylinders.
  • a result of the Inventor's experimental use of a pilot machine reveals that it is possible to prevent the wet web 10 from going slack by installing at least one belt mechanism to drive a drier cylinder disposed downstream of the second dryer cylinder 25b separately from the belt mechanism to drive the second dryer cylinder 25b such that an elongation generated in at least the second dryer cylinder 25b is absorbed.
  • the wet web 10 when a wet-web elongation generated at the last press is absorbed by setting the transfer speed V 1 of the wet web 120 transferred together with the first canvas 22a to be higher than the transfer speed V 0 of the wet web 120 transferred along the last press (V 0 ⁇ V 1 ) , the wet web 10 generates a first longitudinal elongation similar to a conventional technique, which elongation can however be absorbed by setting the transfer speed V 2 of the wet web 120 transferred together with the second canvas 22b to be higher than the transfer speed V 1 of the wet web 120 transferred together with the first canvas 22a (V 1 ⁇ V 2 ) .
  • the wet web 10 does therefore not go slack on the canvas 22b when being transferred to the second dryer cylinder 25b so that the substantial entire portion of the wet web 10 being transferred together with the second canvas 22b is supported by the second canvas 22b, the wet-web turning roll 23a and the second dryer cylinder 25b.
  • the third canvas 22c which is different from the second canvas 22b running around the second and third dryer cylinder 25b and 25c, runs around the fourth cylinder 25d whereby the traveling speed of the second canvas 22b can be set separately from the traveling speed of the third canvas 22c.
  • the above-mentioned second longitudinal elongation is generated at and downstream of the second dryer cylinder 25b (especially, at the second dryer cylinder 25b).
  • the second longitudinal elongation can be absorbed by setting the speed of the third canvas 22c to be higher than the speed of the second canvas 22b, so that the wet web 10 can be drawn between the third dryer cylinder 25c and the wet-web turning roll 23c. As a result, it is possible to prevent the wet web 10 from going slack on the third canvas 22c and further from being torn.
  • the wet web 10 can be stably transferred in the dryer part Z even at a high speed, so that frequency of tearing is greatly reduced as compared with a conventional technique. As a result, it is possible to run the paper machine at as high a wet-web transfer speed as 2,000 m/min, for example.
  • paper machine of the present invention should be by no means limited to the foregoing embodiment, and various changes or modifications may be suggested without departing from the gist of the invention.
  • a belt mechanism is shared by the second dryer cylinder 25b and the third dryer cylinder 25c in the first embodiment.
  • the second dryer cylinder 25b and the third dryer cylinder 25c may be associated with different belt mechanisms and the wet web 10 may be drawn between these dryer cylinders 25b and 25c. With this alternative configuration, it is possible to early absorb a second longitudinal elongation generated on the wet web 10 at the second dryer cylinder 25b.
  • the speeds V 0 , V 1 , V 2 and V 3 of the felt belt 18 and 19, and the canvas 22a, 22b and 22c should be by no means limited to the ranges described above, and alternatively can be set to appropriate values so as to absorb elongations of the wet web 10.
