Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for regulating the Tension of a moving web according to the preamble of Patent claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • circulating sieve belts for drainage known from paper webs. This is the paper web pressed against the wire to remove water from the paper web push out.
  • the circulating band is here as an endless belt trained and runs at the same speed like the paper web around.
  • the Force measuring roller has at both opposite Store each a force sensor, the Bearing force measures.
  • the tensioning roller is controlled by a Actuator adjusted to the circulating band more or less tension.
  • the force sensors are via a control device with the tension control roller in operative connection.
  • the invention is based on the object, a device and a method for controlling the tension of a to create a running track, which at low wrap the force measuring a precise control of the Belt tension allowed.
  • the device according to claim 1 is used to control the Tension of a moving web, in particular a circumferential Bandes, in particular to a felt or Sieve belt of a pulp or papermaking machine or a coating machine is intended. It is advantageous if the circulating band of as little as possible Rolling is deflected, this being the circulating band if possible, capture only from the non-paper-touched page should. However, this can only be done if the orbiting band of each individual roll is less is deflected as 180 °. For a smooth Operation, it is also necessary, the clamping force of the rotating To keep the band constant, Clamping control device takes place.
  • the thereby determined Bearing force is a measure of the belt tension.
  • the Control device acts on an actuator of an adjustable Tension control roller, this according to the output signal of the control device controls. This results in the problem that is due to the adjustment the tension control roller an altered wrap the force measuring roller results. In these conditions the bearing force does not give a clear value for the band tension, so that the circulating band depending on Position of the tensioning roller to different Band tensions is regulated.
  • the force sensor is assigned a correction device, which takes into account the wrap of the force measuring roller.
  • This correction device calculates from the bearing force and the wrapping of the force measuring roller, the belt tensile force and forwards them to the control device as an actual value further. In this way it is ensured that the control device regardless of the position of the tension control roller and thus independent of the resulting Looping of the circulating belt, the belt tension regulated to a constant value. This ensures in all operating conditions a consistent production quality. In particular, it does not matter if that Band is incorrectly distracted, especially as the resulting Value of the wrap of the force measuring roller in the determination the tensile strength is taken into account.
  • a particularly simple realization of the correction device results from claim 2.
  • the correction device from the position of the tensioning roller and thus of the respective position of the actuator affected.
  • This location can be directly from a travel sensor be detected, for example, with a drive shaft the actuator is connected.
  • the encoder determines doing the distance traveled by the actuator, so that the respective position of the tension control roller in each Operating state is known.
  • an incremental Position sensing is preferably at least the actuator a limit switch associated with a zero point adjustment the route detection ensures.
  • the wrap can the Kraftmeßwalze directly from the layers the axes of three rolls are calculated, with a these rollers is adjustable by the actuator.
  • a simple realization of the correction device results from claim 4.
  • the correction device associated with a storage device in which the layers the fixed rollers are stored. It's enough completely to save the layers of those rolls, which the Kraftmeßwalze are adjacent, since the remaining Rolling no influence on the wrap of Kraftmeßwalze to have. From the known positions of the Kraftmeßwalze adjacent rollers and the load cell itself can the wrap of Kraftmeßwalze and thus the required Correction factor for calculating the strip tension voltage can be easily determined.
  • the correction device of at least two force sensors of the force measuring roller is affected.
  • These Force sensors work in different directions, so that the bearing force of the force measuring roller of these vectorial is detected. From this vectorial bearing force In addition to the amount of the bearing force, its direction are determined from the wrap of the force measuring roller can be determined. In particular, it is there not necessary, the exact locations of the adjacent To know rolls so that constructive changes in the roll structure without affecting the measurement result.
  • all rollers have the same band side, preferably the strip side not touched by the paper web to capture. This will prevent particles from spreading from the paper web, accumulate on the screen belt and on renewed transfer to the paper web to a no longer tolerable defect.
  • a running Web in particular a circulating belt of rollers deflected.
  • At least one of the rollers is as Kraftmeßwalze trained, whose bearing force is measured.
  • At least one of the rollers, preferably the force measuring roller is as Tensioning roller formed by an actuator is adjusted.
  • the adjustment of the tensioning roller takes place by regulating the tape tension of the circulating band.
  • the force measuring roller at a Adjustment of the actuator different from the circulating Band entwined, so that the tape tension is not is more proportional to the measured bearing force. Nevertheless a proper draft control for the circulating
  • the band is obtained from the measured bearing force taking into account the respective wrap the force measuring roller calculates the belt tension. This results a proper tension control in each Position of the tensioning roller.
  • the position of the Tape from a sensor to capture.
  • This sensor will preferably formed by a roller, which is resilient against the circulating band is pressed. From the location of Roller can directly wrap the force measuring roller be determined.
  • a non-contact sensor for example an ultrasonic sensor, insert, which detects the position of the tape.
  • the force measuring roller is associated with a winder. That from the Kraftmeßwalze outgoing strand of the web is doing directly supplied to the winder, so that its angular position according to the diameter of the coil changes accordingly. The resulting change in the wrap the load roller is corrected so that the web force can be determined with sufficient accuracy. As between the Kraftmeßwalze and the winder no further rolls are provided, can be in this way the web tension in the area of the winder with particularly high accuracy determine and correct by the web tension control.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a first one Embodiment of a device 1 for controlling the Clamping force of a circulating belt 2.
  • the belt 2 is in this embodiment of a wire of a dewatering device 3 of a papermaking machine educated.
  • the dewatering device 3 has a rotatable Drum 4, which looped by a wet paper web 5 becomes.
  • the band 2 is against the paper web 5, so that the paper web 5 between the Sieve 2 and the drum 4 is held.
  • the volume 2 stands under a given tension to the desired drainage effect for the paper web 5 too achieve. In this case, that is contained in the paper web 5 excess water due to the pressure of the sieve belt 2 squeezed through this.
  • To achieve a sufficient Drainage effect are several drainage devices 3 arranged one behind the other.
  • the band 2 is deflected by four rollers 6, 7, 8, 9. there the rollers 6, 9 are fixed in their axial position trained and therefore serve as pure guide rollers 6, 9th
